"Grandpa, have you seen the emperor?" Gu Ming's eyes flashed with admiration - grandpa must be very powerful in the army, otherwise how would he have the opportunity to meet the emperor?

Gu Ye also looked at his grandfather with interest. Your Majesty, that's a character in novels and TV dramas. I don't know if the emperor of Dongling Kingdom is a faint monarch like King Xu, or a benevolent monarch like Tang Taizong?

"Well, I've had the pleasure of meeting it a few times!" As the right-hand man of Lao Zhenguogong's side, how could he be missing when he was rewarded? If he hadn't resigned from his official position at the beginning, I'm afraid that he would be at least a second-grade member now. However, to repay the old general's kindness, he never regretted his decision!

The word "emperor", in the hearts of the people, is like a sky. Gu Ming's eyes were full of envy and yearning.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao added another fire to his grandson: "Wu Zhuangyuan, I want to accept the emperor's hand-picking in the Jinluan Palace, and I will have the opportunity to drink the imperial wine given by the emperor!" ”

"Grandpa, I've decided, the champion of the martial arts!!" Gu Ming was categorical, with a resolute look on her face.

Gu Ye glanced at his grandfather lightly, and said in his heart: Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and three or two sentences will lead people to the bait. However, taking the path of martial arts is the best choice for my brother.

The night, like a huge curtain, shrouds Qingshan Village. In the silence of the mountain forest, the occasional cry of night birds and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the mountain road are very clear. The three grandfathers and grandsons walked through the village and returned to their "home" halfway up the mountain.

Early the next morning, the grandparents and grandchildren got up early. Gu Ming was enthusiastically under the guidance of his grandfather, practicing the basic skill - Zama step. Zama step is a kind of pile work, which is a good training for leg strength, stability, endurance, and static.

Gu Ye originally wanted to practice with her brother, but this step was half an hour, it was too monotonous and boring, she gave up after thinking about it. However, after experiencing troubled times, and even the importance of strengthening her body, she will take herself a dose of medicine to improve her physical fitness every day. With a cheat in hand, it's so capricious.

Gu Ming persevered with amazing perseverance. Seeing his brother's legs trembling like noodles, Gu Ye couldn't bear to send a cup of hot tea, which secretly added two drops of potion to relieve fatigue and help restore physical strength.

Wu Angelica, who also sold medicinal materials on the medicine collection, saw with his own eyes that the little girl of the Gu family sold three baskets of medicinal materials for a high price of more than fifty taels of silver, and his heart was jealous and resentful. I thought that the old man could only use medicine and not medicine, but who knew that he had only taught his apprentice for less than a month, and his concoction skills far surpassed him.

Wu Angelica, who returned home, locked himself in the house for most of the day, and finally made a decision. He turned out the treasure at the bottom of his box-a hundred-year-old ginseng, asked his mother-in-law for a handkerchief to wrap up, and walked out.

Aunt Wu was so distressed that the flesh on her face trembled: "Master, do you really want to use ginseng as an apprenticeship to that old guy?" That's worth a few hundred taels of silver! ”

"A woman's family, long hair and short knowledge!" Wu Angelica glared back at her. You don't feel distressed when he is not distressed, but you are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and when he learns the old guy's pharmaceutical skills, how much silver will not be able to earn back?

"Are you true? Those concocted medicines are really worth so much silver? Aunt Wu also heard the man say that Gu Cripple and Gu Yatou sold medicine, and a trace of greed and jealousy flashed in her eyes. It's not bad for a man to sell a basket of medicine for two taels of silver, but they actually sell it for dozens of taels?

"That's not all!" Wu Angelica remembered what he had heard in the town, and the greedy light in his eyes was even stronger, "That girl saved Ding Dahu in the town, and there are one hundred taels of silver in the thank-you gift!" She, a person without any medical foundation, could learn such exquisite medical skills in such a short time, let alone me? If we learn all the skills of that old guy, why do we need to nest in this place where birds don't in the future? ”

When Aunt Wu heard this, although she felt sorry for the silver, she no longer stopped men from apprenticeship. Soon after the man went out, he thought that Gu Ye's dead girl had gone to the town, and she had more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver in her hand, as well as a lot of cloth, pastries, and pork, and her heart was seriously unbalanced.

Her white and black eyes turned slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a malicious smile. She opened her compass-like legs, twisted her snake-like waist, and came to the door of Gu Qiao's house.

"Are your siblings home?" Aunt Wu pushed open the door of the Gu family's concealment and walked in.

There are still some days before the winter vegetables are harvested, and Liu, who is idle, is sitting on the kang and sewing clothes. The two boys in the family spend the most clothes, and the two boys are not honest for a while, so they don't know where to go.

Hearing Aunt Wu's voice, Liu put down the work in his hand and responded: "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, it's cold outside, come in and sit!" ”

Aunt Wu unceremoniously opened the curtain and walked in, took off her shoes and went to the kang. She took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her purse, swallowed them up, and spit out the skin of the melon seeds.

Liu frowned unhappily, and asked angrily: "Why does the sister-in-law of the Wu family have time to visit our house?" ”

"Oh—I feel sorry for you!" After speaking, she deliberately sighed heavily, and looked at Liu with sympathy and regret.

Liu frowned, and asked angrily: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, what is it to sell?" Say, why am I making you feel sorry? ”

Sister-in-law Wu stopped eating melon seeds, leaned over, and had a mysterious expression: "You should have heard of it, your Ye'er girl saved an old man who was collecting medicine, and she also apprenticed to a teacher and learned medical skills from others." ”

"Huh-a girl, losing money, sooner or later someone else's family. What a medical skill! Besides, if medical skills are so easy to learn, then everyone can become a doctor. Liu's face was full of disdain, and he continued to bow his head and sew patches.

Aunt Wu pursed her lips, revealing a sneer, and said in a weird manner: "Don't look down on others, the money-losing goods in your mouth, four baskets of medicinal materials were sold for a high price of sixty taels!" ”

"What?!" Liu Shi hissed, took the finger that was punctured by the tip of the needle in his mouth, his triangular eyes widened, and he had an expression of disbelief, "Sixty taels of silver?!" Deceptive, right? The money shopkeeper came to collect medicinal herbs, and a basket could not be sold for even a tael of silver. How could she possibly sell for such a high price? ”

"Can crude drugs be the same as concocted drugs?" Aunt Wu had an expression that you really didn't know, "We have a basket of medicine, but it can be sold for two taels of silver!" The better the concoction technique, the higher the price at which the herb will be sold. Besides, what's the good of me lying to you? ”

"That dead girl really has sixty taels of silver in her hand?" That's sixty taels of silver! And that's just the money from selling the medicine once! That dead girl has only been studying for a few days, and she has earned so much silver, so if you calculate it, can't there be hundreds of taels a year? Liu's heart seemed to have been dug a hole with a knife, dripping blood. She was so blind that she pushed a God of Wealth out!

"Not to mention sixty taels!" The jealousy in Aunt Wu's eyes was even stronger, she swallowed a mouthful of greedy spit, and continued, "That girl saved Ding Dahu in the town, Ding Dahu's young master, and gave her a hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift. There are also horses of cloth, whole pigs, boxes of snacks, all of which are the best and most expensive in town!! ”

Liu's pupils dilated, his nose opened and closed, panting, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. One hundred and sixty taels of silver, and so many good things, she had never seen so many possessions in her life. These were originally hers, hers!!

Aunt Wu looked at her expression with satisfaction, and the melon seeds in her mouth became even happier: "I said, you are also stupid." Gu Ming's kid, just throw a pot for the old man. That Gu Ye, a girl, can still eat you for a few years? After the dead girl grows up, she is quite handsome. Selling it to a big family in the town as a concubine is also a lot of silver! ”

"What are you talking about now? The genealogy has been changed, and the household registration has been moved, and I just want to bring people over now, so can the old thing be willing? Liu couldn't wait to give herself a few ear scrapes, if she had been kind to that girl at the beginning, maybe she could go over and scrape some oil and water back.

"Look at you, after all, after raising that brother and sister, they have to honor you and your husband and wife. You are the stepmother, and your man is their father. Filial piety is greater than the sky, if they don't give money, they will sue them for unfilial piety and make their reputation stink. When the time comes, the spittle stars will drown them! "Aunt Wu is really a black-hearted master, and bad ideas come out one after another!

"That's right! I ask for silver!! His father has raised them for more than ten years, and he can't cheapen others so much! Liu put down the work in his hand, put on his shoes and went out, and shouted at Da Zhuang, who was playing outside, "Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang-go and call your father back!" Be quick!! ”

Da Zhuang was having fun with his friends, and reluctantly walked into the yard slowly and asked, "What's the matter?" What are you calling my dad to come back for? ”

"Tell you to go, and you go. What so much nonsense? Liu slapped his son on the head and seduced him with a smile, "If you do a good job, come back and make you new clothes and meat to eat!" ”

Da Zhuang was not interested in the new clothes, and when he heard that there was meat to eat, his saliva suddenly fell. He ran out at once, running faster than a rabbit, leaving his excited voice: "Mother, don't worry." I'll help you get people back right away. ”

Gu Qiao was nesting in the courtyard of a second-rate person in the village, watching others play with money. He also wanted to make a kick, but unfortunately the copper plates on his body were all turned over by Liu when he came out. Hum! This mother-in-law is really underwhelmed, and she is closer to money than her father. It's still Miao's good, every time he goes out, he will put dozens of copper plates in his purse, for fear that he will be shy and faceless in front of his friends.

But...... Gu Qiao frowned. If it weren't for her assertions, where would he have returned to this deep mountain and old forest to live a hard life? All of this is caused by the Miao family!!
