Gu Jiao got up before dawn, and after she washed up, she went to feed the little empty chicks first.

The chicks are now almost growing into big chickens, and occasionally they will crow, and if no one gets up, they will stop fighting.

There is a small market nearby, which is in a different direction from Guozijian, and it is a quick walk.

Gu Jiao went to the small market with a basket on her back.

"Bao [www.biqugexx.xyz] - fresh and delicious buns—" a hawker shouted.

Gu Jiao walked over and asked him, "How much is a bun?" ”

The peddler saw the birthmark on her face, but she didn't show the slightest abnormality, she was worthy of being from the capital, and it was not strange to see it.

The hawker smiled: "One big meat bun and two brown sugar buns!" How many does the girl want? ”

The buns are very large, one can almost be full, Gu Jiao took out the food box from the small back basket: "Eight meat buns, four sugar buns." ”

They eat meat packets, and sugar packets eat with small clearance.

I don't know if he can eat enough, but the little guy's appetite is a bit amazing.

"Okay! A total of 30 articles! I'll give you a steamed bun! The vendor packed the buns and steamed buns for Gu Jiao.

"Thank you." Gu Jiao paid the money and went to buy pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, followed by firewood.

Firewood in the capital is not cheap, a bundle of firewood with ten copper plates, according to the speed at which their family burns firewood, can burn for about two to three days.

Gu Jiao asked for two bundles of firewood, and asked how to sell charcoal.

The firewood seller said, "Does the girl want black charcoal or silver charcoal?" Black charcoal is five wen a catty, and silver charcoal is twenty wen a catty. ”

"Silver charcoal is so expensive?"

The firewood vendor smiled: "Silver charcoal is so easy to use!" ”

This is the truth, black charcoal is not only not resistant to burning, but also choking people, in comparison, silver charcoal is more resistant to burning, and there is no smoke.

In the end, Gu Jiao bought a hundred catties of silver charcoal at the price of seventeen wen a catty.

The peddler drove the mule cart and personally delivered firewood and charcoal to the door.

Xiao Liulang had already gotten up, and had already cleaned the stove house, and was cleaning the backyard at this time, his movements were very light, and he didn't wake anyone.

"Early." Gu Jiao said hello.

"Early." Xiao Liulang bowed his head.

Gu Jiao directly asked the vendor to move the firewood and silver charcoal to the stove house.

After the vendor left, Gu Jiao walked over and took the broom from Xiao Liulang's hand: "I'll come, you go and tidy up the box." ”

This time in Beijing, Gu Jiao, the old lady, Gu Yan, and Gu Xiaoshun didn't have much luggage, but Xiao Liulang and Xiao Qingkong were full of several large boxes. Xiao Liulang's main thing is books, and the little empty ones are the things he brought back from the temple, and of course, his seven chickens.

"Okay." Xiao Liulang turned around and went to the study.

After a while, Gu Jiao brought him two steaming meat buns: "You eat first, I'll boil some millet porridge." ”

"Have you eaten it?" Xiao Liulang stopped her.

"Not yet." Gu Jiao shook her head.

She wanted to say that I could eat the porridge after I boiled it, but Xiao Liulang pushed the plate forward: "Then eat together." ”

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Okay." ”

Since the family has increased, the two have not eaten alone for a long time. The last time was at the town's inn, but that was more than half a year ago.

The two sat facing each other, as if they had returned to the original days.

Gu Jiao laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Liulang asked.

Gu Jiao held the big meat bun in her hand: "Laugh at the first time I asked you to eat, do you think I was poisoned and didn't dare to eat it?" ”

"I didn't." Xiao Liulang flatly denied it.

Gu Jiao suddenly leaned over and stared at his handsome face closely: "Aren't you afraid that I will be poisoned now?" ”

Do you trust me too much?

When Gu Jiao was complacent, he saw Xiao Liulang look at the bun in his hand with a complicated expression, and then he took Gu Jiao's bun and gave it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao: "......"

The two had breakfast, the family hadn't woken up yet, Xiao Liulang was going to report to Guozijian, Gu Jiao estimated that they were going to sleep until noon, so she sent Xiao Liulang to Guozijian.

Guozijian officially opened in late October, and now there are inmates coming to report one after another, some from the capital, and some from other places like Xiao Liulang.

The regular inmates of the Guozijian did not have to pay for them, and all expenses were paid by the imperial court, including the dormitories and meals of the inmates, which were also allocated from the imperial court's finances.

Xiao Liulang can go back after reporting to the Student Affairs Office today, of course, if he wants, he can also stay in the Guozi Prison for self-study.

Guozijian has the largest library in the whole Zhao Kingdom, otherwise it would not become a holy place that all scholars dream of.

Gu Jiao was waiting for him outside Guozi Prison.

The appearance of the busy traffic in front of her made Gu Jiao feel very fresh.

It turns out that this is the capital, it is really different from the county seat, the road is much wider, from time to time several carriages pass by in parallel, and the girls on the road wear veils, and there are only a few who show up like Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was looking at it energetically, and suddenly the crowd rushed towards a place, and everyone stood on both sides of the street, looking in the direction of one of them.

The position where Gu Jiao was standing was not far from the street, she was squeezed aside, and her foot was stepped on.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The culprit hurriedly apologized to Gu Jiao.

It's a kid dressed as a scholar.,But regardless of his appearance or deliberately lowered voice, he can tell that the other party is actually a girl.。

He looks tall and clear-eyed.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to! The little scholar dressed as a man gave up his hand at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao didn't take it to heart.

She stepped back.

However, the people behind her didn't give her a chance to go out at all.

She was blocked in the center by the crowd of people, unable to advance or retreat.

The little scholar squeezed forward vigorously, but her strength was too small, so she didn't squeeze into the front row.

She gave up resistance, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked Gu Jiao, "Girl, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Gu Jiao said calmly: "Birthmark." ”

"Ah......" the little scholar hurriedly covered his mouth, "I thought it was rouge, yes, yes, I'm sorry." ”

Gu Jiao didn't care about her unintentional offense.

She herself didn't want to go, she was embarrassed enough to bump into others, and she stepped on them, and said the wrong thing and poked them in the sore spots-

Alas!

There is not a day when she can't offend anyone!

The little scholar looked at Gu Jiao and said, "Girl, you're not from the capital, are you?" It doesn't sound like an accent. ”

Gu Jiao: "Hmm. ”

The little scholar said again: "Did you also make a special trip to see the crown princess?" ”

Gu Jiao said strangely: "What concubine?" ”

The little scholar stared at him with round eyes: "The crown princess? You came here so early to wait, didn't you just hear that the crown princess was returning from praying for blessings and was going to pass by at the gate of the country's prison? ”

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't know the crown princess, I don't look at her." ”

The little scholar gasped: "Who, who came to see her because they knew her?" Can people like us know the crown princess? Didn't they all hear about her and worship her and want to see her appearance from afar? ”

Gu Jiao said seriously: "I haven't heard of her, and I don't worship her." ”

"Are you from Zhaoguo? You haven't heard of the crown princess? ”

The little scholar's voice was very loud, causing the people around to look at the two of them, and everyone looked at Gu Jiao with incredible eyes, obviously the same as the little scholar, it was strange how there could be someone in the world who didn't know the princess of Zhaoguo?

As he spoke, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The crown princess is here—the crown princess is here—"

With his exchange, the crowd erupted violently.

A hundred Praetorian Guards came riding iron hooves, and they surrounded the princess's carriage in the middle like a huge formation, and the people didn't even see how many wheels the carriage had, so the Janissaries escorted the princess's guard of honor and disappeared into the street.

The crowd dispersed.

The little scholar looked at the back of the disappeared Praetorian Guard's iron horseman, and stomped his feet angrily: "Oh, I didn't look at it again!" Is it easy for me to come out on a trip? I'm blind and I get up so early! ”

Leaving the dense crowd, Gu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't used to being so close to strangers.

Seeing that Gu Jiao was not annoyed or angry at all, the little scholar asked curiously, "Are you really not here to see the crown princess?" ”

Gu Jiao said lightly: "I said I wasn't." ”

The little scholar asked, "Why?" ”

Gu Jiao said: "I also said it." ”

The little scholar said, "You really haven't heard of her?" ”

Gu Jiao glanced at her speechlessly.

The crown princess is the person that the little scholar admires the most, and she will never allow anyone in the world who has not heard of her!

The little scholar was extremely serious about Gu Jiao's popular science: "Do you know who the crown princess is?" She is the most outstanding woman in the whole Zhao Kingdom, there is no man in the world who does not like her, and there is no woman who does not envy her. Do you know the great talent of the dealer, Zhuang Xianzhi? She was the Crown Princess's teacher, do you know who the person who went to school with her? Zhaodu Little Marquis! ”

Gu Jiao looked at her calmly.

The little scholar blew up: "Isn't it? Don't tell me you don't know who the little marquis of Zhaodu is! Little Marquis! Boy's sacrificial wine! ”

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Oh, I heard it. ”

It's been a long time ago, and Xiao Qin Xianggong got a painting out of nowhere, saying that it was the little marquis's ink treasure, but Xiao Liulang said no.

This was the only time she had heard the little marquis of Zhaodu before.

The little scholar slapped his forehead: "Oh my God, my God, you jumped out of the crack in the stone, right?" How can you not know the little marquis, the crown princess? One of them is a talented boy on the first day of Zhaoguo, and the other is a talented girl on the first day of Zhaoguo. After the death of the little marquis, the crown princess kept the festival for him for three years, and only this year did she accept His Majesty's gift to marry the prince as his wife. Haven't you heard of such a legendary deed? ”
