"Sister—" The little figure sped toward them. When she ran to them, Gu Ming took the reins from her sister's hand, led the donkey carrying the goods and her sister, and slowly walked towards the village.

As he walked, he complained, "Didn't you say you'd be back the next day at the latest?" Why is it a whole day late, causing me to worry half dead at home, afraid that you will have an accident on the road. I heard that a few days ago, a villager in Muhua Village, in order to save a penny, did not rest in the compound, and was gnawed by wild wolves until only a skeleton remained......"

"Brother-" Gu Ye interrupted his brother Tang Seng's nagging as if chanting, took out a set of four treasures of the study from the basket, and sent them to him as if offering treasures, "Look, what did I buy for you?" ”

Gu Ming's eyes burst with a hint of joy, but she quickly frowned and said, "These are very expensive, how can you let grandpa break the bill like this?" It was not easy for him to raise our brother and sister. ”

Gu Xiao looked at the loving interaction of his grandchildren with a relieved face, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Ming'er, you are mistaken." This set of pen and paper is not paid by grandpa! ”

Gu Ye patted his bulging purse and smiled proudly: "The medicine I made was sold for dozens of taels of silver, not to mention a set of four treasures in the study, even ten sets of eight sets, and I can afford it!" Brother, I know that you used to go to Uncle San's to steal words. In the future, if you want to study, go as long as you want, my sister can afford it! ”

In the past, in the Gu family, it was already a blessing not to starve to death. How could the Liu family be willing to give money and food for Gu Ming to study? Gu Ming, a child, is born with the strength to not admit defeat, he often goes to the window of the third uncle's simple private school to steal learning, and sometimes asks Zhang Lihu and Li Hao to teach him to read, now simple reading and reading is no problem, but he still owes some effort in writing.

"Only the elder brother supports the younger sister, how can the younger sister provide for the elder brother? I don't take the talent test, what do I do when I read so many books, I know some words, and I will come to the town to be an apprentice or shopkeeper, which is enough. "Gu Ming doesn't plan to spend her sister's money.

My sister concocts medicinal materials every day, which is hard enough. All the money she earned was saved for her sister as a dowry in the future. The third grandmother said that the dowry is the girl's reliance on her in-laws, and if the dowry is more, her sister will be able to harden her waist in her in-laws' house in the future, and she will not be bullied.

Gu Ye pursed her lips, unhappy: "Brother, you are treating me as an outsider!" Who are we going to divide with whom? If it weren't for you, even if I hadn't starved to death, I would have been thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. I earn money for you to spend, I'm willing, what's wrong? You're going to tell me so clearly? I'm so angry, so sad, I don't want to pay attention to you! ”

Seeing her sister's wrinkled little face and dripping appearance, Gu Ming suddenly panicked. He hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Sister, don't cry, it's all my brother's fault!" I love the gift you bought me! It's true! ”

"That'...... Tomorrow you will be asked to go to the third uncle's house to study, will you go? Gu Ye looked at him aggrievedly with a pair of big moist eyes.

Gu Ye would go against her will, and nodded busily in response: "Go, go!" Definitely go!! ”

Gu Xiao looked at this scene with a smile and shook his head again and again: his honest grandson was eaten to death by his sister, and it was impossible for him to turn over in this life.

"But...... I can gather firewood and hunt against my back. My sister's money is saved first, and then it is taken out and used when it is urgent. Gu Ming has her own insistence. It's not easy for my sister to make money, how can she spend it so casually?

"I said, you two little guys," Gu Xiao had to speak at this time, his grandchildren were too independent and sensible, often making him feel that he was an ornament, "Did you forget your grandfather again?" Xiao Yezi, do you think grandpa can still lack money for your brother's study? ”

"Grandpa, can you quietly reveal how much money you have in your hands?" Gu Ye didn't know how much the army of Dongling Kingdom had paid, and how much money his grandfather had accumulated in the past thirty years.

The house was newly built, and everything was newly bought, as well as quilts, clothes, and food...... For more than a month, my grandfather has spent a lot of money. She was really afraid that she would accidentally use up her grandfather's pension money.

Gu Xiao seemed to see through the concerns in her heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandpa's family background is thicker than you think." At least it's much more than the money you get from the guy with the surname Ding! ”

Hearing him say this, Gu Ye's brows suddenly relaxed. She received six hundred taels of silver from Ding Dashao, it seems that her grandfather's previous position in the army is really not low! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to save such a net worth.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by 'getting money'? As if the source of my money is unknown, I got it by selling medicine! Gu Yejiao's eyes narrowed in disgust. The lively little appearance made Gu Xiao and Gu Ming, the grandson, smile even more happily.

Gu Ming was extremely glad in her heart for her original decision, if she stayed in that house, her sister would only be more haggard and withered. How good it is now, my sister's personality is getting more and more cheerful, her body is getting better and better, and the longer she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. Seeing such a sister, Gu Ming was extremely grateful to the current grandfather. Thank you to him for giving them a stable and peaceful life......

Gu Xiao laughed for a while, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "It's just the silver two who sold the pure medicine and the thank you gift from the Ding family, we can't take the money from selling the medicine, that's what your master deserves." ”

Those pills are hers! The silver is hers too! Gu Ye's heart was shouting weakly. However, who told her to use the master as an excuse, she could only nod in resignation. Her master, probably, maybe, probably won't accept it, right?

Gu Xiao saw that although his little granddaughter was a little bit of a fan of money, she still understood the rights and wrongs of the big face. He nodded with satisfaction, patted her little head and said, "If you feel sorry for the silver, grandpa will make it up for you." Grandpa's money will belong to your brothers and sisters in the future, and when it is given to you, it will be the same. ”

"No need!" Gu Ye shook his head like a rattle, "Ye'er's pharmaceutical skills will become more and more exquisite, and when you learn all the master's techniques, are you still worried about running out of money?" Grandpa's silver, you should keep it yourself, lest I forget the place and lose it. ”

The pharmaceutical technique of the medicine saint is the result of people who have been immersed in the ranks of medicine for fifty or sixty years, where is it so easy to learn it all? However, Gu Xiao felt that it was still necessary to give encouragement and motivation to the child, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Or our little Yeer is ambitious! Grandpa is waiting to enjoy his granddaughter's blessings! ”

"Uh-huh! In the future, I will save enough money to buy a big house in the capital. We have to buy a lot of shops, and when the time comes, our grandfather and grandson will not do anything, and just collecting rent will be enough for us to eat and drink! Gu Ye seemed to see the happy days he was earning, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"Beijing? Is it bigger than Yancheng? The house must be expensive, right? Gu Ming was thinking about what kind of livelihood she had to find in order to save money for her grandfather and sister to house in the city.

Gu Xiao looked at his little grandson and said with a smile: "The capital is much bigger than Yancheng!" The houses there are very large, with gardens and pavilions, and the yards are ...... one after the other."

Then he praised Gu Ye and said: "Our little leaf is really a filial child, ambitious!" However, you only need to make money to buy a shop, our family has a house in Beijing! ”

When Gu Ming heard this, she was inexplicably worried, and whispered: "There are so many yards, it takes a lot of effort to clean them." Let's just tidy up the yard every day, and we don't have to do anything! ”

Gu Ye "giggled" out laughing, and his pleasant voice echoed in the mountains and forests: "Brother, if you can afford to live in such a big house, where do you have to clean the yard by yourself, don't you have maids and servants?" In the town, I heard that there are more than a dozen maids and servants! ”

"Oh...... It turns out that there are so many rich families in the capital! Gu Ming sighed with emotion.

"Money alone may not be able to buy a good house! If you don't believe it, ask grandpa. Gu Ye jumped off the donkey's back in front of his house, turned his head to look at his brother, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Are you sure? Grandpa, why is that? Gu Ming felt strange in her heart and couldn't help asking.

"The best houses have been rewarded by the emperor to meritorious officials, where is the share of ordinary people? Light will make money, but without the ability to keep money, it will only rely on causing trouble. Gu Xiao said along with his granddaughter's words.

Sun Tzu is born with great strength and is willing to endure hardships, which is a good material for martial arts. Gu Xiao would never let him be buried in this mountain and live a mediocre life.

The third uncle said that no matter how rich the squires in the town are, they must be respectful when they see the officials. The officials asked them for money, but they did not dare not give it. Grandpa, is it possible to protect his family and his money when he becomes an official? Gu Ming's young heart sprouted a vague thought.

Gu Xiao frowned slightly, and sneered: "Those corrupt officials who can only loot the people's fat and ointment, there will always be a day when the boat capsizes in the gutter." However, you are right about one thing, the more power you have, the more you are able to protect the people you want to protect. ”

The person Gu Ming wants to protect is, of course, her sister, and now, she has another grandfather. The younger sister said that she would earn a lot of silver in the future, so he would help her protect her silver.

"Grandpa! I want to study, I want to take the Xiucai exam, I want to be a good official who will not ask for money from others in the future!! The dream in Gu Ming's heart gradually took shape.

Gu Xiao smiled and said, "Ambitious!" However, the road to the imperial examination is too long and too difficult. You have other options! ”

"Grandpa, my brother is still young, don't let him go to the army!" Once you will become famous, the cruelty on the battlefield, Gu Ye knows it. She didn't want her brother to choose this dangerous path of death. She would rather him live a mediocre life, as long as he is safe.

"Your grandfather and I came from the bloody storm of the army, how can you still let him follow my old path? The emperor attaches great importance to military generals, and holds a military event every three years, and the military champion is the general soldier...... Of course, books still have to be read. The emperor said, 'Strategy first, then martial arts'. A general without a strategy will bring a devastating blow to the army. ”
