Old Madam Gu made a big fire in the ancestral hall, so that everyone in the mansion knew that Gu Changqing had imprisoned his two younger brothers in the ancestral hall.

Gu Hou Ye didn't know about this matter, he had been entangled in trivial matters by the Ministry of Industry recently, and he hadn't been back to the Hou Mansion for several days.

"Lord Gu, the military department is urging again." An official under Gu Houye said.

Gu Houye sat on the chair, looking at the mountains of official documents on the desk, one head and two big: "Urge, urge, know how to urge!" Isn't it already casting? It's only been a few days? ”

The officials suffered an unwarranted disaster, and they were scolded at both ends, and they were very bitter in their hearts: "The military department said that our speed is too slow, and they can't wait for two months." ”

Gu Houye said angrily: "If you can't wait, you have to wait!" They want weapons, and they are made of iron, not mud! Is it that fast? ”

The official pinched a cold sweat: "The military department said that you will be given a month at most, and you must make those long swords......"

"A month? He's daydreaming! "Gu Houye really didn't make those swords for the military department, but their current technology is limited, if they can get the latest water drainage technology of Liang Guo, maybe the amount of iron smelting can be greatly increased.

The official said: "However, the Ministry of War said that just such a few weapons, civilian iron shops can be made, why can't our Ministry of Industry make them?" ”

"Can a folk iron shop be made?" Gu Hou Ye smiled sarcastically, "Their military department even used the ability to spread rumors for the sake of weapons?" ”

The official sneered: "No, Lord Gu, the lower officials seem to have really heard about it, and the people have come out with a kind of box, which is more effective than the water drain of our imperial court, with stronger wind and greater firepower, and at the end of the day, it can smelt ten times more iron." ”

"Ten times?" Gu Houye waved his hand, "No, no, no, it's impossible." "Liang Guo can't do it, Liang Guo taught Zhao Guo the initial water drainage technology, but it is not ten times different from them.

The official asked, "Why not......?" Send someone to check first? I heard that it is a place called Qingquan Town in Youzhou. ”

Gu Houye waved his hand: "Heh, that's even more impossible, Lord Ben just came from Youzhou!" If there is such a powerful technology, would this Lord not know? ”

Gu Houye resolutely did not investigate.

The military department couldn't wait, so they sent someone over.

In early November, there was a light snow in the capital.

As soon as the small clearance went out, I didn't look at the road, so I fell down.

Since coming down the mountain, Xiao Jingkong has rarely wrestled, and Gu Jiao almost forgot that he was a famous little wrestling monk.

But he was as skilful as ever, holding his head, bending his knees, like a small round ball, and rolling around the yard.

Gu Jiao had just come out of the stove house.

Xiao Jingkong rolled to her feet, and then Xiao Jingkong spread his hands and feet, looking at Gu Jiao cutely.

Gu Jiao picked up the person and patted the snowflakes off his body: "Why did you wrestle again?" ”

Xiao Jingkong was intoxicated with Gu Jiao's arms: "Because Jiaojiao is so beautiful, I am fascinated by Jiaojiao!" ”

Gu Jiao: "......"

The little wrestling monk has turned into a little monk with earthy love stories?

Xiao Jingkong's hair is short, worried that he is cold, Gu Jiao bought him a hat, it is a tiger head hat, the tiger's eyes are big and round, Xiao Jingkong wears it fiercely.

He generally doesn't wear it in the academy, and he is naïve.

But in front of Gu Jiao, he not only wears a tiger head hat, but also a tiger head vest and tiger head shoes.

After selling cute, I asked for a kiss and went back to my brother-in-law's house.

After finishing the business early in the morning, he turned back into Niu Hulu Clear Sky and went to school with a serious face!

Gu Yan has been cultivating for a few days, and his body is also well, and he can go to class.

Gu Jiao prepared the hand warmer, one for her aunt, one for Xiao Liulang and her three younger brothers.

Xiao Liulang took Xiao Jingkong to Guozijian, and Gu Jiao sent Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun to school.

Walking out of the alley, Gu Yan looked around.

Gu Jiao asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Nope." Gu Yan looked at the sky with his eyes.

Still say no? In the past few days, he has been running to the door every day and looking at the end of the alley, Gu Jiao is his sister, can he still not know his thoughts?

However, that person has never appeared since he saved Gu Yan.

After Gu Jiao sent the two to the academy, they went to Chang'an Avenue.

Having been here for so long, she has become proficient in the nearby terrain.

She thought about it, although they still had 1,000 taels of silver on hand, but the price of goods in the capital was so high, they couldn't really sit at home and eat nothing.

She bought herbs at the bazaar and prepared some gold sore medicine herself, planning to sell them at a nearby medical center.

As soon as she walked to the first medical hall, she saw an acquaintance: "Little Liu." ”

The young man who was called Xiaoliu turned his head in a daze, and his eyes lit up: "Miss Gu? Have you come to the capital? ”

Gu Jiao nodded: "My father-in-law came to study in Guozijian, and we all moved over." ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Xiao Gongzi, congratulations to Miss Gu!" ”

Xiaoliu is the coachman of the second owner's family, and he ran a lot of legs for Gu Jiao when he was in the hospital, and he also went to get the iron tools for opening the mountain.

"What about the second owner?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Liu's expression dimmed: "The situation of the second owner is not very good, I can't understand a word, he is in the tavern over there, I'll take Miss Gu over." ”

"Okay." Gu Jiao should get down.

On the way to the tavern, Xiao Liu said more or less, probably because the second owner suddenly returned to Beijing because Master Hu was dying.

The second owner rushed back to the capital non-stop, but he still couldn't see the last of Master Hu.

The Hu family didn't even wait for the second owner to come back, so they buried Master Hu.

In fact, the second owner was only one day late, and if he waited for this day, the second owner would be able to see off his father in person, and the Hu family would not even give him such an opportunity.

This is not the most hateful, the most hateful thing is that the Hu family actually beat a rake, slandering the second owner that he was indifferent to even the old man's illness, and did not come to the funeral.

Zhaoguo rules the world with filial piety, and a hat of unfilial piety is buttoned down, and the reputation of the two owners is over.

"He was kicked out by the Hu family......" Xiao Liu wiped his tears, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved and heartbroken for the second owner.

"I see." Gu Jiao came to the door of the side room of the tavern and said to Xiao Liu, "You go and order some hot tea." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Liu choked up and turned to look for hot tea.

Gu Jiao entered the side room, and a pungent smell of wine came to her face.

After a few months of not seeing, the once high-spirited second owner was like a sloppy drunk, slumped on the floor without any image, and he didn't know how many empty wine bottles were poured around him, and he stared blankly at the roof, motionless, as if dead.

Gu Jiao stepped over the wine bottle, squatted down beside him, opened the small medicine box, and took out two hangover pills: "Give it." ”

The second owner did not move.

At this time, Xiaoliu entered the house with hot water.

Gu Jiao took the hot water, asked Xiao Liu to help the second owner up, and forced him to take the hangover medicine.

Xiao Liu looked at the disheveled and sloppy second owner, and said in a choked voice: "Master, Miss Gu has come to see you." ”

The second proprietor sat on the ground with a sluggish expression.

Gu Jiao glanced at him and asked calmly, "How did your father die?" ”

The second owner came back to his senses all of a sudden, looked at Gu Jiao in a daze, and the emotions that he didn't dare to vent in front of his family suddenly collapsed, his tears fell uncontrollably, he hugged his head and cried trembling!

Gu Jiao didn't argue with him.

Wait quietly for him to finish crying.

Xiao Liu withdrew with red eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the second owner finally calmed down.

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and looked at Gu Jiao with a smile: "Girl, why are you here?" ”

"Accompany my father-in-law to study in the country."

"Ah, Xiao Gongzi is in high school, that's really congratulations!"

"What's the matter with you?"

Xu is hangover medicine has played an effect, and Xu is Fang just cried out, the whole person felt a lot better, he smiled casually: "It's nothing, it's been a few days, and you can see you laugh." ”

"Do you want to go back to the Hu family?" Gu Jiao asked.

The second owner was stunned.

After a while, he smiled bitterly: "I can't go back." ”

"Is your father nice to you?"

The second owner thought for a long time: "...... It used to be good, too. ”

Before his mother passed away, the life of a family of three was quite happy, and since he had a stepmother at home, he also had a stepfather.

"So you blame your stepmother?"

The second owner originally wanted to say, how many good stepmothers can there be in the world? When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that Gu Jiao's mother was also a stepmother.

He said: "If my stepmother could be half as kind as Mrs. Hou, I wouldn't be like this." ”

"But it's useless, no matter how kind she is, her three stepsons still don't like her."

"So you think I'm wrong?"

"No, you're not wrong. I don't comment on the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but your business is your father's fault. He was so unkind to you, why should you feel sorry for his death? ”

Gu Jiao wasn't blaming the second owner, she really didn't understand.

She didn't have that in her emotional reserves.

Whoever is good to her, she will be good to her, and whoever bullies her, she will bully back, even if the other party is her own father.

She looked at the second owner strangely.

The second owner already knew that she was a different girl, and her thoughts were different from theirs, so he smiled bitterly and patiently explained: "Actually, I don't understand either, maybe ...... I just remember what he did to me. ”

Gu Jiao still didn't understand.

Maybe she won't understand it for the rest of her life.

"If you don't go back to Hu's house, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

Gu Jiao thought about it seriously: "Why don't you sell medicine with me!" ”

2. The owner: "......"

And not comforting, thank you!

The second owner thought at first that Gu Jiao was really going to drag him to the streets and alleys to sell medicine, but later realized that Gu Jiao was going to open a medical clinic.

The capital is out of the two owners, and Gu Jiao Technology is a shareholder, each accounting for 50% of the shares.

If others persuade the second owner like this, the second owner will definitely not agree, he doesn't have the confidence and fighting spirit.

Gu Jiao is different.

There is a convincing power in her.

The second owner put his heart horizontally: "Okay! Just do it! ”

It's just that the second owner was expelled from the Hu family, and there is not much money on hand, even if he places the cheapest shop nearby, he will need at least three thousand taels before and after.

"I can lend you a little." Gu Jiao said, "But interest has to be calculated." ”

2. The owner: I always feel that something is wrong!

At noon, Xiao Liulang came back for dinner, Gu Jiao told Xiao Liulang about the use of silver, there were still 1,000 taels left at home, and she would probably use 800 taels.

In the study, Xiao Liulang was sorting out the books to be taken to the academy, and when he heard this, he said without thinking: "The silver is given to you for you to use, you don't have to tell me." ”

So generous.

Gu Jiao sighed: "You don't ask me what I'm for?" ”

"What for?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Loan sharks!" Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Liulang looked confused.

"Haha." Gu Jiao was amused by him again, "The one who lied to you was lent to others!" You also know that person, the second owner of the Rejuvenation Hall. ”

Xiao Liulang said as if unintentionally: "I heard that you also went to his house to be a medicine boy?" ”

Gu Jiao blinked her eyes and said, "Who told you?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "Mother-in-law." ”

Gu Jiao: "......"

Since discovering that her box might be a small medicine box, Xiao Liulang has vaguely guessed something, but if she doesn't say it, he won't break it.

They all have secrets about each other.

His identity, her origin.

Xiao Liulang casually picked up a cup of hot tea on the table and took a sip.

Gu Jiao sighed, pointed to another cup of tea on the table and said, "This is what I just drank, and this cup is poured for you." ”

Xiao Liulang looked stunned.

Gu Jiaotuo looked at him: "You also drank what I drank, round it up, are the two of us the indirect one or that?" ”

Xiao Liulangjun blushed, put down the teacup, and said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm not drinking where you just drank! ”

"Oh." Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, don't blush if you have the ability, "I'm going to cook." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang's expression was serious.

Gu Jiao took one last look at him and turned to cook.

There was a sound of pots and pans clanging in the stove room, Xiao Liulang breathed a sigh of relief, he pressed his disobedient heart, and his eyes fell directly on the teacup.

He slowly picked up his teacup and took a careful sip.

"Brother-in-law!"

The little headroom suddenly jumped in!

Xiao Liulang's heart was weak, and he choked quickly...... Choked to death!
