If you want to talk about manpower, the store does need it, after all, the study has begun to get on the right track, and the poetry and painting club also needs someone to help take care of it.

There is also a women's private school that I discussed with Nie Xiaoqian before, and I also need to invite my husband to teach.

It's just that Ning Caichen is different from other scholars, after all, he is also the former protagonist......

Therefore, Gu Ming began to groan.

Thinking about it again, the timeline is obviously advanced, and the entire plot has been completely reversed, so there is nothing to worry about.

If he really didn't dare to keep Ning Caichen, it would only show one problem: he was not confident enough!

Either they are not confident enough in Nie Xiaoqian.

For a while, Gu Ming's pride came naturally, and he waved his hand with a big grin: "Okay, then stay!" ”

"Thank you Gu Gongzi, thank you!"

Ning Caichen was grateful, and thanked him again and again.

"Small...... Leping, in the future, you will take Caichen, if he has nothing to do, he can also write braille and paint on consignment, and he can earn a few more. ”

"yes, okay."

He Yongliang answered, and then took Ning Caichen out.

As he walked, he whispered, "Caichen, what does that Lan Xiaofeng look like?" Isn't it the kind of ...... that is particularly seductive?"

Ning Caichen: "......"

"Tell me about it, no outsiders are here anyway. By the way, do you two have anything like that? Do you feel anything special? ”

Ning Caichen: "......"

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

I thought that I wouldn't have any intersection with Ning Caichen, but it turned out that I would still come.

Only, that's all.

Listening to Ning Caichen, the female ghost named Lan Xiaofeng should have had a good impression of him, so she told him not to go to Lanruo Temple again.

But who can say what will happen in the future?

What if Ning Caichen misses her one day and runs to Lanruo Temple desperately?

If that time really comes, it is still impossible to avoid being named an undead knight, which will make countless scholars in the world envious and jealous......

……

Within a few days, Ning Caichen became familiar with the affairs of the study.

People are also very diligent, and they help organize the bookshelves when they have nothing to do, and keep the books neatly organized.

In your spare time, you can write a few calligraphy and paintings and hang them in the store to sell, or go to the poetry and painting club to help greet customers.

All in all very devoted.

This is much easier than his previous account collection, he doesn't have to eat and sleep, and he doesn't have to be afraid.

The income is also good, the agreed one or two silver a month, including room and board, is twice as high as those in the courtyard.

At the end of the month, depending on the business situation, there will be bonuses, plus the income from consignment of calligraphy and paintings, if you are lucky, you can earn two or three taels of silver.

After Gu Ming's secret observation, he found that Ning Caichen could indeed be called a humble gentleman.

Whether it's seeing Nie Xiaoqian or Su Ling, or going to the female guests of the Poetry and Painting Society, try to avoid it as far as possible.

I really can't avoid it, so I don't lose my etiquette and come forward to see a salute.

Unlike He Yongliang and Dong Sheng, when they see a beautiful lady, their eyes are like lanterns.

Of course, this is also due to the nature of men.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

In the afternoon of this day, Su Ling suddenly hurried over, breathless and said, "Gu ...... Gu Xiucai...... Fast...... Hurry up ......"

Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, looking anxious, Gu Ming couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, madam, take a deep breath and take a good breath." ”

"Whew~"

Su Lingchang let out a long breath and subconsciously patted his chest, he really felt better.

Only then did he say: "Mrs. Du, hurry, it's almost gone......

The Mrs. Du she was talking about was the one who shouted last time that she almost blinded her eyes when she saw Du Siniang, and she and Su Ling were a good pair of best friends, no wonder she was so anxious.

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback: "Mrs. Du is dying?" What the hell is going on? ”

"I heard that I was frightened and lost my soul, and I invited a few Lang Zhong but were helpless. Why don't you go and see, and be a dead horse and a live horse doctor......"

This is really speechless.

Gu Ming frowned: "But I'm not Lang Zhong......"

"She was scared of her soul, I remember the last time He Yongliang said that you can bring the dead alive."

"Okay, let's talk about it first, don't get your hopes up, after all, ......"

"Great, let's go!"

Without waiting for Gu Ming to finish speaking, Su Ling desperately took his hand and ran out, for fear that his best friend would die if he was one step late.

"Mrs. Su, I'll go myself."

Gu Ming silently withdrew his hand, although he knew that Su Ling didn't mean it, but he was in a hurry, but people would inevitably make irresponsible remarks when they saw it, as if they had some personal feelings.

"Oh, are you hurrying up...... Eh, you're not waiting for me......"

Soon after, the two came to Du Mansion together.

As soon as you enter the door, you can feel a depressing, sad atmosphere.

A few of them had red and swollen circles under their eyes and tear stains on their faces. It seems that Mrs. Du treats people well on weekdays, so they are sad from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, if it were someone like Yu Luohu, Su Ling would not be able to associate with him.

This is called the gathering of things by likeness, and the division of people by groups.

"Gu Gongzi, it's great that you're here, please save my wife's life!"

As soon as a middle-aged man saw Gu Ming coming, he hurriedly took three steps and two steps forward to salute.

Su Ling waved his hand: "Okay, now is not the time to be polite, let's go and see people first." ”

"Hmm!"

Gu Ming answered, and followed Su Ling into the house.

Mrs. Du was lying on the bed, angry as a gossamer, and she couldn't do it when she saw it.

Gu Ming frowned, and stepped forward to take the lower pulse.

Although he is not Langzhong, he still understands the most basic common sense.

At this moment, Mrs. Du's hands felt a little cold to the touch, even stiff. The pulse is also faint and jumps from time to time.

Sniffing down, barely intangible.

Heartbeat...... Don't touch this, so as not to misunderstand him and take advantage of it.

Can you tell us what the situation is? What frightened Mrs. Du? ”

"Go and call Xiao Tao to come over ......"

Du Yuanwai hurriedly ordered, and then explained to Gu Ming: "That's the case, Jing Zhuo went back to his mother's house yesterday, and Yahuan Xiaotao accompanied him.

Her mother's home is in Qingfeng Town, and the distance is not too far.

After staying for one night, she encountered a wolf on the way back today, and she became like this in a moment of fright. ”

Gu Ming was stunned: "Wolf? ”

"Yes, that's what Momo said."

After a while, a girl walked in with red eyes.

It seems that he is not lightly frightened, he walks a little floating, and his face is pale.

"Old man......"

"Xiao Tao, tell Gu Gongzi about the situation at that time."

Xiao Tao answered with tears in her eyes and began to speak.

"At that time, we were halfway through when three wolves suddenly appeared on the road. Two in front and one in the back.

At that moment, the two palanquin drivers were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, and the lady screamed in fright.

The slave and maid were naturally afraid, but they also had the courage to pick up a stone and stay by the lady's side......

Then, the three wolves barked at the same time and rushed over, and Uncle Ah Meng grabbed a wooden stick in desperation and beat it, and the result was ......"

At this time, Xiao Tao's body began to tremble, as if she was very afraid.

Gu Ming didn't urge, waiting for her to calm down for a while.

After a while, Xiao Tao said in a trembling voice: "Unexpectedly, the wolf didn't fight, but the wolf bit Uncle Meng's arm, and it was ...... I actually bite off from it......

Seeing Uncle Meng's tragic condition, Madame fainted in fright......"

"And then? How did you escape? Gu Ming frowned and subconsciously asked.

Fortunately, two officials on horseback happened to pass by at this time.

When he saw a wolf, he jumped off his horse and slashed with his sword, and finally scared the three wolves away, and then sent us back......"

"So, they are officials in the county government?"

Xiao Tao sobbed and nodded: "Yes!" ”

"yes, I see."

Gu Ming responded, looked at Mrs. Du and muttered for a while, then turned his head to Du Yuanwai and said, "I can only try my best, it's better for you to continue to find Lang Zhong." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm already looking for it."

"Okay, stay away a bit."

"Everyone back away and make room for Gu Gongzi......"

Du Yuanwai had never seen Gu Ming catch demons, he just thought that he was going to dance the great god, aren't all those goddesses in the countryside like this?

As a result, Gu Ming just stood in front of the bed and began to chant at Mrs. Du:

"The soul returns, go to the king's constant work, what is the Quartet

The pleasure of the king, and the ominous away from the other

When the soul returns, the East can't hold some of it

There are thousands of elders, but the soul is a few

Ten days out, flowing gold and stones

They are all accustomed to it, and the soul will be released

When you come back, you can't hold some up

When the soul returns, the south can't stop ......"

This is a "conjuring spirit" in Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci", Mrs. Du was scared of losing her soul, presumably the effect must be good with this song.

Of course, Gu Ming is light on the surface, but in fact, he has already used the export chapter.

This is a more energy-consuming thing, and I am afraid that I will have to eat a few chickens to make up for it.

"Madame...... Madame's soul is back......"

After a while, an exclamation suddenly sounded outside.

For a while, there was a lot of commotion outside.

"What?"

Du Yuanwai was both shocked and excited.

At this time, a faint figure floated in the room.

Although the figure is very faint, it can still be recognized as Mrs. Du's appearance.

Such a bizarre scene suddenly made the people in the house suspicious, if it wasn't for daylight, I am afraid that they would have thought that a ghost had floated into the house.

Soon, the figure floated to the side of the bed and slowly disappeared into Mrs. Du's body.

"This ...... It's just amazing. ”

Su Ling couldn't help muttering to himself.

Then, Mrs. Du finally moved, her chest began to rise and fall, and her face slowly became ruddy......

Seeing that Mrs. Du had regained her vitality, Gu Ming was overjoyed.

Fortunately, he finally saved a fresh life, which can be described as immeasurable.

Moreover, Mrs. Du is a frequent visitor to the study, and I believe that she will become an iron fan in the future.

Du Yuanwai excitedly shook his wife's hand and kept calling......

After a while, Mrs. Du finally woke up.

As soon as they woke up, the couple hugged and cried, which shows that the relationship is deep.

Then, Mrs. Du got out of bed and worshiped Gu Ming Yingying with tears: "Thank you Gu Gongzi, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pick up the life of the concubine." ”

Gu Ming smiled with satisfaction: "Mrs. Du is polite! ”

Mrs. Du said with a solemn face: "For you, it may be just a gesture, but for the concubine, it is a life-saving grace......"

After a few polite words to each other, Gu Ming said goodbye.

Du Yuanwai said to his back: "Gu Gongzi, my husband and wife will definitely come to the door tomorrow to thank you!" ”

As soon as she returned to the study, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Du is sick, how is she doing now?" ”

"It's okay, she's over-frightened......"

Gu Ming briefly explained the reason.

"I see...... I can't believe that you are still a good man now. ”

"Haha, Lang Zhong can't talk about it, and Mrs. Du is not suffering from a disease, so Lang Zhong is helpless."

"Hmm...... By the way, will you come home with me later? Have a meal with my father, I think he seems to be very worried recently, or you can help enlighten him. ”

"No problem, or go now...... Caichen, you tell Leping and them, I have to leave in advance. ”

Ning Caichen was chatting with the two scholars about poetry, and immediately responded when he heard Gu Ming's order.

Not long after, Gu Ming and the others returned to the inner courtyard of the county government.

Yu'er was watering the flowers, and when she saw Gu Ming coming, she stepped forward to salute, and then ran to make tea.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Nie Hongshu walked into the courtyard with a worried look.

"Father-in-law!"

"Oh? The virtuous son-in-law also came...... Sit, sit, sit, sit. ”

Nie Hongshu smiled and raised his hand, and sat down at the stone table.

After a few idle words, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if my father-in-law has heard that Mrs. Du and her party were attacked by wolves?" ”

"Alas!"

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but sigh and nodded.

"I've heard that those two officials were sent to Qingfeng Town by me, and there have been some unrest recently......

"What's going on?"

Nie Hongshu didn't respond positively, but shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know what Nie did wrong, as soon as he took office, there were one after another demonic incidents." ”

"Father-in-law, it's none of your business, there must have been a lot of similar incidents before, it's just that Qin Shou was too lazy to pay attention to it."

After all, this is the world of Liaozhai, and demons and monsters are everywhere, and it is normal for strange incidents to occur.

If it doesn't happen, it's called abnormal.

"Having said that, the official is still panicked."

"What the hell is going on in Breeze Town?" Gu Ming asked again.

"Wolves ......"

Nie Hongshu slowly talked about the reason.

About half a month ago, a butcher surnamed Zhang in Qingfeng Town went to the tavern to drink some wine after selling the meat, and then returned home with his burden.

At that time, it will be dark but not dark.

But Butcher Zhang didn't care, anyway, it wasn't very far from home, and he was used to returning late.

When he was halfway there, he was shocked to realize that there were two gray wolves behind him.

Butcher Zhang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the strength of the wine disappeared, and he hurried home in three steps and two steps.

As a result, as soon as he accelerated, the two wolves also accelerated.

In desperation, Butcher Zhang simply stopped and picked up a leftover bone and threw it out.

One of the wolves immediately stepped forward and gnawed.

So, Butcher Zhang threw another ......

After repeating it several times, the bones were gone, and the two wolves were still following closely, looking ready to attack at any moment.

In a hurry, Butcher Zhang saw a haystack nearby, so he hurriedly walked over.

Then he put down his burden, held the butcher's knife in his hand and leaned his back against the haystack, ready to fight the two wolves to the death.

It turned out that there was only one wolf left, and he was squatting in front of him not far away.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and as soon as Butcher Zhang gritted his teeth, his figure suddenly burst out, and he slashed over......

No matter how cunning a wolf is, how can he compare to a man?

It didn't expect Butcher Zhang to move as soon as he said it, and was slashed to death before he could fight back.

Then, Butcher Zhang hurried to the back of the haystack...... As expected, half of the other wolf was already in the haystack.

Obviously, he wanted to dig a hole and attack him from behind.

However, the wolf should have sensed the movement and hurriedly retreated. Before it could withdraw, Butcher Zhang stabbed again, and finally killed all two wolves.

After that, he happily carried the wolf corpse back to the village, peeled off the relatively intact wolf skin, and distributed the wolf meat to the villagers......

Hearing this story, Gu Ming couldn't help but think of a small story in Liaozhai: wolf.

I roughly remember the two sentences: "When you return late at the end of the slaughter, the meat in the burden is exhausted, and there are no bones left." Two wolves on the way, far away......"

"Could it be that because of this incident, I was retaliated against by the wolves?"

Gu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"That's right!"

Nie Hongshu nodded with a fixed face.

"In fact, there have been wolves in the area of Qingfeng Town since ancient times, but they are rare, and most of the time they stay in the mountains.

Two days after the butcher slaughtered the wolf and ate the meat, their village was attacked by wolves.

Fortunately, the villagers reacted quickly and organized manpower in time, and finally injured three people and did not kill anyone.

But it doesn't end there...... The wolves came almost every night, and almost all the chickens, ducks, cows and other domestic animals in the village were bitten to death.

Later, wolves began to appear in the town, and two people were injured.

The reason why I sent someone to check on it was because someone came to report that the wolves were not ordinary wolves.

Because someone has seen a wolf the size of a calf, and suspects that it is a wolf demon......"

"A wolf the size of a calf?" Gu Ming was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's what they reported, and whether it's an exaggeration remains to be verified."

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, why don't you send a few catchers to join me and go to Qingfeng Town tomorrow to find out." ”

"This ...... I'm really embarrassed to trouble you every time. ”

"My father-in-law has seen the outside, and they are all a family."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, one family." Nie Hongshu stroked his beard and smiled, and then his heart moved: "By the way, you and Xiaoqian are also in love, how about choosing an auspicious day to get married?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Nie Xiaoqian's cheeks immediately burned and she glanced at Gu Ming shyly.

It seems that she has no objection.

After all, she is nineteen years old, and if she is the daughter of an ordinary family, maybe the children will be able to play soy sauce.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Ming also can't wait to get married as soon as possible.

After all, the taste of a single dog is really uncomfortable, the night is long, the lonely pillow is sleepless, and only the five girls will not give up.

However, he had already planned for getting married, but he didn't bring it up.

Now that Lord Taishan has taken the initiative, he can only say what he thinks in his heart.

"Father-in-law, Xiaoqian, in fact, I wanted to discuss with you about getting married.

My idea is this, it's better to wait for the township test, if I am lifted, wouldn't it be better to marry Xiaoqian in the scenery? ”

"Hahaha, good, good, good men should be ambitious!"

Nie Hongshu not only did not get angry, but laughed out loud.

[The original plan was more than 10,000 words, but now it is more than 15,000, and I ask for a monthly pass here, and I recommend it]
