At dinner, the family saw Xiao Jingkong holding a golden abacus and playing, and they all had a feeling that their eyes were about to be blinded.

Little Clearance didn't have much of an idea of gold, and the only currencies he knew were copper and silver, as they had only been spent at home.

As he said, he liked this golden abacus simply because it was more beautiful.

Gu Jiao: Probably every child likes Bring's things?

Any bead on the gold abacus can be eaten at home for a year if it is cut off and sold, but they are still disciplined, and no matter how poor the family is, they will not have the idea of playing a small clearance abacus.

At night, Gu Jiao helped Xiao Jingkong sort out all his things, and found that except for books such as gold abacus and Buddhist scriptures, there were no other valuable things, they were all shabby and old gadgets, which didn't look worth much.

Gu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, a monk is too rich and scary, okay?" ”

It seems that Xiao Jingkong's master loves him very much, even if he is very poor and poor, but because Xiao Jingkong likes the golden abacus, he still did everything he could to get one for him.

The private school has an abacus, and students don't need to bring their own, so the small clear space only takes out the gold abacus when reviewing at home, and will not be brought to the private school.

It saved an uproar.

The next day, Xiao Liulang took the "big baby", "second baby", and "third baby" to school as usual, and Yao came to the house with a gift from Gu Jinyu.

Not surprisingly, Gu Jiao confiscated none of them.

Yao didn't force her.

Mama Fang whispered: "Madam, you should persuade the eldest lady, although the second lady is not her own sister, but she should accept the gift for pretence." ”

Mama Fang is really not upset for Gu Jinyu, she is not her own, giving her a look is to lift her up, but sometimes people do things to show the big guys.

The eldest lady should have the bearing of the eldest lady.

Yao Shi said softly: "It's good to be happy, there is no reason in this world to force others to accept anyone's kindness." ”

Mama Fang sighed.

After Yao's departure, Gu Jiao went to the town to order iron tools.

Zhaoguo's control over iron and salt was extremely strict, and Gu Jiao needed a large number of farm tools and needed to go to the county government to register first and get a permit.

Gu Jiao went to the county office.

The county magistrate personally received Gu Jiao.

He smiled and asked, "Why did Mrs. Xiao come to the Yamen?" But who in the village is restless? ”

His words stunned Gu Jiao for a moment.

He didn't remind him, Gu Jiao was about to forget about the restless people in the village.

The Gu family was suppressed by Gu Houye, the county master was the first knife, and Old Man Gu's Li Zheng was removed by him. After that, he sent food to Xiao Liulang, which was also arranged by him with full authority.

Of course, he didn't know Gu Jiao's identity, he only knew that she had a little relationship with the Hou Mansion, and she was Xiao Xiucai's wife, so he treated her with special courtesy.

"There were many offends in the original incident, don't blame Mrs. Xiao."

is talking about the fact that he was ordered by Gu Hou Ye to arrest Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong into the prisoner car.

Gu Jiao said: "It's okay. I came today to make some iron tools, so that the county master can easily stamp an official seal? ”

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Convenient! Convenient! I don't know how much Mrs. Xiao wants? ”

Gu Jiao reported the number.

The county magistrate was shocked: "So many? Can I ask Mrs. Xiao what she is used for? ”

Gu Jiao showed her title deed: "I bought a mountain and want to open up the wasteland." ”

In this way, the county master understands that clearing the wasteland is not a trivial matter, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not surprising that so many farm tools will be used.

Generally speaking, this kind of document process takes several days, but because the county master personally accepted it, it didn't take long for Gu Jiao to complete it.

Before leaving, the county magistrate said to Gu Jiao with a smile: "If there is a place where the yamen needs to contribute, Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be polite." ”

Gu Jiao bowed slightly, thanked him and left.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of the county office, she saw the second owner running over panting: "Gu ...... Miss Gu...... I've found you...... I just went to the village...... Your aunt said you came to the county office...... You're all right, right? ”

"I'm fine, I just want to buy iron tools and stamp an official seal." Gu Jiao said, giving him a strange look, "It's you, how did you go to the village early in the morning?" ”

The second owner rubbed his hands, and it was a little difficult to speak.

Gu Jiao said, "Say, where is the patient?" ”

"Ahem!" The second owner motioned to Gu Jiao to give him the document with the official seal in his hand.

Gu Jiao gave it to him, and he asked, "What kind of iron tools do you want to order?" How much to order? ”

Gu Jiao gave him the list.

He showed it to the coachman and said, "You go to the blacksmith in a moment and get things done!" ”

"Yes!" The coachman took the paperwork and the order.

"Let's talk about getting in the car." The second owner said to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao got into the carriage with him.

"Let's go to the Rejuvenation Hall first." The second proprietor instructed the coachman.

The coachman dismounted, waved his whip and let the carriage go.

He sent the two to the infirmary first, and then to the blacksmith.

The second owner wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed: "There is a patient here, it is a little tricky, I also have no way to go to you, this time I owe you a favor." ”

Gu Jiao paused and said, "No, this time even if I receive a visit this month." ”

The second owner was stunned: "Huh? Didn't Gu Xiaogongzi go there? ”

Gu Jiao nodded and said, "Well, I'm not going." ”

He's living in my house.

Gu Yan went to school in a private school today, and the second owner only saw his aunt alone, so he naturally didn't know that Gu Yan had already lived in Gu Jiao's house.

The second owner nodded thoughtfully: "I see that the little boy's condition has improved greatly, if you don't go, you can do it, and I will go again next month." ”

Gu Jiao didn't speak.

Suddenly, the infirmary arrived.

When Gu Jiao entered the lobby, she understood why the second owner was in a hurry to find her.

The patients in the hospital hall had already been emptied, and all the doctors and men, including the shopkeeper Wang, were restrained by a group of guards dressed in brocade clothes, and a dangerous and quiet atmosphere permeated the lobby.

A young man in his early twenties, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and grim features, walked over, wearing a treasure knife at his waist.

He glanced at the second owner coldly, and his afterglow also swept over Gu Jiao, but he didn't seem to take Gu Jiao to heart: "What about the doctor you went to invite?" ”

The second owner tried to look at Gu Jiao calmly: "It's her." ”

The young guard frowned: "An ugly girl? ”

Gu Jiao changed into the clothes made by Yao, but it was not shabby, but she was still the appearance of a cloth cloth, and it was difficult for people to associate her with the doctor who saved the wounded.

What's more, she's still so young.

"It's her!" The second owner wiped a cold sweat, "She is the most skilled doctor in our Rejuvenation Hall, if even she can't be cured, then no one in the town can cure her." ”

The young man looked at Gu Jiao suspiciously.

Xiao is a little smaller, but he has a pair of eyes that see through life and death, cold and ruthless.

The young man frowned, but finally said, "You come with me." ”

Gu Jiao carried the small basket on her back and went to the wing room in the backyard with the young man.

There were dozens of guards guarding the backyard, almost five steps by one, and the entire backyard was crowded.

Gu Jiao also noticed that there were several guards hidden on the roof and in the alley.

is so strictly guarded, the other party is only afraid that it will have a big future.

However, Gu Jiao didn't ask anything, and was calm and calm from beginning to end.

"You, wait outside." The young man seemed to be also a guard, and he stopped the second owner out of the door in an unkind tone and let Gu Jiao in.

Just as the young guard was about to step in, Gu Jiao suddenly said to him, "You are also waiting outside." ”

Young Guard: "......"

Without waiting for the young guards to react, Gu Jiao closed the door with a bang!

Youth again: "......"

The second owner couldn't hold back his laughter.

The more I get along with Gu Jiao, the more I can find that she is actually very protective, and there is no lower limit for protecting.

A landscape screen was erected in the room, and two servants were guarding outside the screen.

The age of the subordinate is not young, about the same as Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu, but he has an extraordinarily feminine temperament, not quite like a normal man.

When Gu Jiao was about to bypass the screen, one of the subordinates stopped her: "Please stay." ”

"What for?" Gu Jiao asked.

The man brought a piece of cloth over, intending to blindfold Gu Jiao's eyes.

Gu Jiao blocked his hand and said lightly: "How can I see people and doctors blindfolded by my eyes?" ”

The next human: "You can take the pulse." ”

Gu Jiao said coldly: "Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and only takes the pulse of you and I am an immortal?" ”

The subordinate's brows furrowed, and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand something, when the person behind the screen spoke in a hoarse voice: "Let her in." ”

The subordinate immediately respectfully bowed to the screen: "Yes." ”

Gu Jiao bypassed the screen and came to the bed.

The man lay in the curtain, revealing only a withered hand.

Gu Jiao sat down on the stool first and took his pulse.

"Whatever the girl wants to see, just watch." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain.

Gu Jiao suddenly pressed his wrist: "No need, I don't want to see your face." ”

This kind of big man, looking at his face, is she still alive?

Gu Jiao covered his face with a curtain, revealing only the position below his waist and abdomen.

After the examination, the man's face turned red.

Gu Jiao's face was as calm as water.

The man cleared his throat: "May I ask the girl, what kind of disease do I have?" ”

Gu Jiao glanced at the screen, the man understood, and said, "They are people who can be trusted, but the girl said that it doesn't matter." ”

"Oh." The patients don't care, so Gu Jiao, the doctor, has nothing to worry about.

"Flower willow disease." Gu Jiao said bluntly.

"Nonsense!" A subordinate outside the screen rushed over in an instant, glaring at Gu Jiao menacingly, "My family ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the man's loud shout: "Shut up! Retire! ”

The subordinate gritted his teeth and retreated behind the screen.

"How offended, please don't blame the girl." The man's voice and breath were not much frightened, and it could be seen that he was also a person who had experienced strong winds and waves.

"You know that, right?" Gu Jiao asked.

The man nodded sadly.

A doctor has seen it and said that he has flower willow disease, but he has never believed it.

He never looked for flowers and asked willows outside, how could he get willow disease?

Gu Jiao didn't have much interest in the other party's private affairs, and only gave him a science popularization of several transmission routes of willow disease, as for how to get it, he had to figure it out by himself.

Gu Jiao continued: "Your illness has been in the second stage for a while, and if you don't treat it, you will have to enter the advanced stage." ”

The first and second stages of willow disease are still relatively easy to cure, and although they can be controlled in the late stage, the various damages caused to the body are irreversible.

The man was silent for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "Can the girl cure me?" ”

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "What can't I do when I come in?" ”

The man was stunned: "You, can you really cure it?" ”

Gu Jiao put down the small back basket: "I'll try my best, but you'd better let them out first, they are always startled here, which will affect my treatment." ”

The man looked at the screen and said in a deep voice, "Do you hear it, go out." ”

"Master!"

"Do you want me to say it a second time?"

"The little ones don't dare."

The two subordinates went out worriedly and helplessly.

"How did you guys get out?" The young guard asked.

One of the subordinates said: "The master let the little ones come out, and the little ones have no choice." But she's just a teenage girl, she can't restrain her hands, she doesn't know martial arts at first glance, and she won't do anything to our master......"

Before the words fell, the young man clenched his fists and rushed into the house, but before he could completely open the door, he was kicked out by Gu Jiao!

Like a sandbag that has been knocked away, the young guard slammed into the tree with a thud and hung upside down on the branch.

The young guard spat out a mouthful of rotten leaves: Say, say that the good hand is powerless?

Gu Jiao inserted the door bolt and took out a penicillin skin test from the small medicine box: "Give it to me." ”

The man looked at the strange needle through the curtain, and was inexplicably afraid: "What are you going to do?" ”

Gu Jiao said: "Give you a needle, and if you want to heal, you can be obedient." ”

The man said he didn't want to be obedient.

Gu Jiao said earnestly: "Alas, I am the doctor of the medical hall, and the entire medical hall is controlled by your subordinates, do you think I can still get out of the way if I hurt you?" ”

The man felt that Gu Jiao's words were reasonable, but he didn't suspect that Gu Jiao would have bad intentions, he was simply afraid!

Gu Jiao decisively grabbed his wrist, she was too good at dealing with disobedient patients, the man didn't even have time to react, Gu Jiao had already done a skin test.

The man looked at the small bag on his wrist: "...... Well? ”

The best medicine for the treatment of willow disease is penicillin, but unfortunately there was no penicillin in ancient times, so it is very troublesome to cure it, and there are few cases of cure. That's why men feel hopeless.

However, this disease is not a terminal illness in Gu Jiao's place.

The results of a skin test showed that he was not allergic.

Gu Jiao walked towards him with a needle: "Bear with me." ”

When the man saw that the needle was several times bigger than Fang Cai, he was so frightened that his hands and feet fluttered!

- It turns out that no matter how many powerful men are, they may be afraid of injections!

"Hmm-" The man bit down on the pillow and endured the most horrific torture yet.

Gu Jiao packed up her things and said to him, "Do a good job of isolation, and come back in seven days." ”

However, it was said that after Steward Zhou negotiated with Xiao Liulang, he immediately sent the book back to the provincial capital of Lin's house.

When Master Lin learned that Xiao Liulang was willing to teach his son, but he just wanted his son to come to study in person, Master Lin packed his son and sent him over without saying a word.

So on a sunny afternoon, the white and chubby Lin Chengye appeared at the door of Tianxiang Academy.

Lin Chengye is tender, obviously he is twenty-one, but he looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Holding the heavy bag, he asked nervously and uneasily, "Yes, yes, here?" ”

He stuttered, had minor problems, and the more nervous he was, the more he stuttered.

Steward Zhou shook his head secretly, what a smart child, but he is a stutterer, and I don't know if he will be ridiculed and disliked after school.

That's right, Lin Chengye has always invited Mr. Xixi at home when he is so old, but he is worried that he will be ridiculed after school.

Now there is no way, although Lin Chengye was admitted to Xiucai, he is only an additional student, and if he wants to stand out among many students, he still needs to put in a lot of hard work.

"It's here." Steward Zhou said earnestly, "Xiao Xiucai will come out in a while, remember what I said to your sixth son?" ”

"Remember, remember." Lin Chengye nodded, "Less, less talk, talk!" ”

Steward Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, talk less, so that no one will find out that the sixth son is stuttering." ”

"Hmm." Lin Chengye lowered his head.

The two didn't wait long before Xiao Liulang came over from the private school, followed by Feng Lin and Gu Xiaoshun.

Recently, Feng Lin also ate with them.

Steward Zhou stepped forward with a smile and greeted him: "Xiao Xiucai!" ”

His gaze fell on Xiao Liulang's body.

Xiao Liulang introduced: "My younger brother Gu Xiaoshun, classmate Feng Lin. ”

Steward Zhou smiled politely: "Ah, it turned out to be Little Brother Gu and Little Brother Feng, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Feng Lin returned the salute.

Gu Xiaoshun glanced at him and asked Xiao Liulang, "Brother-in-law, who is he?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "The steward of the Lin family, surnamed Zhou. ”

"Ah, he!" Of course, Gu Xiaoshun knew that his brother-in-law wanted to be a master, and his brother-in-law seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit in the past six months, and his grades had improved rapidly, and there were really a lot of people who wanted to ask him to learn.

Steward Zhou pulled Lin Chengye over and introduced Xiao Liulang: "This is Lin Chengye, the sixth son of my family, he is introverted and doesn't talk much, so I will ask Xiao Xiucai to take care of him in the future." ”

Xiao Liulang looked at him and said, "I have to take the exam today, and I can only enter after passing the exam, can I understand?" ”

Lin Chengye nodded: "Well, I understand." ”

didn't show the stuffing, and Steward Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't pass the exam, at most he is stuffed in Dean Li's Zhongzheng Hall, and it doesn't matter if he skips class to tutor him, but this time Xiao Liulang didn't say anything.

Xiao Liulang led Lin Chengye to find Dean Li.

Dean Li also went out in order to win over his beloved disciples, and for the first time in his life, he did the thing of going through the back door for people.

However, Lin Chengye is also competitive, he did not do the exam papers given to him by Dean Li, and his scores in the scriptures and essays are okay, and the Bagu essay is a little worse, but it is enough to be qualified for admission.

He was assigned to Xiao Liulang's class B and shared the table with Xiao Liulang.

Lin Chengye did not live in the dormitory, and Steward Zhou spent a lot of money to buy a school district house nearby.

Xiao Liulang took the fragments of time every day to tutor him, one hour at noon, half an hour after school, and if he came early in the morning, he could tutor for another half an hour.

"Ah, why don't you Xiao Xiucai live here too? Isn't it a lot of work? Steward Zhou suggested with a smile.

"My lady will be angry." Xiao Liulang ruthlessly refused.

Steward Zhou: "......"

Steward Zhou, who couldn't keep Xiao Liulang overnight, had to find another way, such as replacing Second Uncle Luo's small broken ox cart with his own luxury carriage that traveled thousands of miles a day, and providing lunch and lunch break venues for Xiao Liulang and his party.

Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong are people who need to take a nap, and it is better to lie in the wing room than to lie on their stomachs in the classroom.

Xiao Liulang has no objection to these two arrangements.

Because of Lin Chengye's tutoring, the few of them returned to the village late, but knowing that Xiao Liulang was making money to support his family, Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong had no complaints.

Gu Xiaoshun concentrated on carving wood, and there were no complaints.

"Hungry, huh? Why don't you have dinner right here? Steward Zhou said to the three brothers Gu Yan.

The three of them said in unison: "Don't!" ”

Steward Zhou was stunned, isn't it, isn't the food here fragrant? It's all made by the chef! As far as your little lady is concerned, can she be better than the chef's skills?

Three: Heh, how fragrant the food made by Jiaojiao (my sister) is beyond the imagination of mortals!

The township examination is held once every three years, Xiao Liulang is in a hurry, he is admitted to Xiucai this year, and he can take the township examination this year, but many candidates have been waiting for two years.

With the approach of the township examination, the atmosphere of the academy became unprecedentedly tense, and even the masters no longer cared about it every day, and began to simulate the township examination to brush the questions for the candidates.

Xiao Liulang will also give Lin Chengye questions, his questions are more profound and tricky than those of the masters, Lin Chengye seriously suspects that Xiao Liulang doesn't sleep every night, and makes a special trip to turn over the Four Books and Five Classics to give him those sentences that no one has ever memorized!

At noon on this day, Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong went to the wing room for a lunch break, and Gu Xiaoshun carved wood in the yard.

Lin Chengye was made one by Xiao Liulang's exam questions.

Steward Zhou was guarding the door, and suddenly a small servant came over.

Steward Zhou moved to the side and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

"The post station was flooded, Brother Zheng was washed away by the water, he only returned to the Lin Mansion a few days ago, and now he is recuperating in the Lin Mansion."

Brother Zheng was the young man who came to invite Gu Jiao earlier, and he was the son of a deputy steward of the Lin family.

After Xiao Liulang refused to go to Lin's house last time, the young man surnamed Zheng went home, who would have thought that he would encounter a big water halfway.

"When?"

"Half a month ago."

Going to the provincial capital is the uphill road, and the journey is slower, while coming from the provincial capital is the downhill road, and the journey is faster, which causes Lin Shouye, who came from the provincial capital, to avoid the water perfectly.

But if Xiao Liulang went to the provincial capital with Steward Zhou at that time, he was afraid that he would encounter a big flood at the post station like the young man surnamed Zheng.

Xiao Liulang came out of tutoring for Lin Chengye, and when he saw Steward Zhou looking like he was living for the rest of his life, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?" ”

"Ah, that's right." Steward Zhou told the post station about the flood in half a month.

Xiao Liulang knew that post station, and it was the only post station on that official road. In other words, as long as they go to the provincial capital, they will definitely stay in that inn.

Extrapolating from the time, it happened to catch the big water.

Lin Chengye couldn't catch up, the provincial capital came quickly, and he had already passed by the post station for half a month.

Xiao Liulang thought of Gu Jiao's obstruction of his going to the provincial capital.

It's not the first time this kind of coincidence-

Because she asked him to buy osmanthus cake, he avoided the medical trouble in the hospital.

Because she came to him for lunch, he escaped the collapse of the dormitory.

And because she was going to spend the night in town, he didn't catch the snowstorm halfway through.

Once or twice is a coincidence, and three or four times is a bit thought-provoking.

In the evening, Xiao Liulang went to the stove house to help Gu Jiao after arriving home.

Gu Jiao cooks, he burns the fire and adds firewood.

Two pots were used on the stove, steaming sweet potatoes and cornmeal wotou, while boiling fungus mushroom soup, the thick soup gurgling, the stove house was fragrant.

Xiao Liulang broke a dead branch, put it in the hearth, and said as if unintentionally: "Today, Steward Zhou said that there was a big flood at the Qishan Post Station half a month ago, but fortunately I didn't go to the provincial capital, otherwise I would have been washed away by the water." ”

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

Xiao Liulang raised his eyes and looked at her: "Aren't you surprised?" ”

Gu Jiao paused: "Oh! ”

Xiao Liulang: "......"

Xiao Liulang asked her, "Do you know that there will be a big flood?" ”

Gu Jiao said calmly: "No." ”

Xiao Liulang glanced at her deeply, and then lowered his head and broke a withered branch: "This time I go to the provincial capital, I plan to live in the Lin family." ”

Gu Jiao took the hand of the spatula and paused: "Didn't you say it?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "It's convenient to live in Lin's house, and besides, I've also asked Steward Zhou." Steward Zhou said that although the daughters of the Lin family are beautiful, they are all married, and none of them are in the boudoir, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Is she worried about the daughter of the Lin family? It's worried about the cousins of the Lin family!

What kind of blessing is he in the rest of his life, does he want it anymore!

Gu Jiao held her breath, but she couldn't spit it out, and her little face instantly turned black!

Xiao Liulang was almost amused by the way she wanted to have a seizure but couldn't.

The conversation was about to continue, but at this time, Xiao Jingkong rushed in with a chick in his arms: "Jiaojiao! Brother Gu Yan's dog bites my chick! ”

After Gu Yan's little milk dog also lived in the house, the family experienced what is called a real chicken flying dog jump.

As long as the puppy and the chick come out of the cage at the same time, they can bite the chicken and dog hair all over the ground.

The little milk dog is big, but it can't stand the large number of chickens, and it will also set up a formation, and the two sides are not afraid to fight.

Gu Jiao asked him, "Then did your chick peck Gu Yan's brother's puppy?" ”

The little clearance was silent for a moment.

Xiao Jingkong raised his head and said cutely: "The food is so fragrant!" I suddenly remembered that I hadn't finished my homework yet, so I went to do my homework! ”

A certain little monk who sued the wicked first jumped out and assured that he was invincible and cute, and Jiaojiao was so confused by herself that she couldn't extricate herself and forgot to get angry.

He jumped as he stuffed the chicks back into the coop, and then ran away with a bang!
