The officials sent by the imperial court are divided according to the results after the scientific examination, needless to say, the first and second first, the lower the official position in the end, although there is still a chance to be promoted, but this is all a later story. Today's Yanyun Kingdom is also peaceful, and the set of meritorious achievements in troubled times is not very suitable in this peaceful and prosperous era. That's why Master Xiao thought about letting Xiao Zhi follow the literature, and his future as a civil official in the future will be brighter.

But Xiao Zhi also knows his own level, there is a lot of waste in the middle, and now he can enter the academy by rubbing the edges, even if he gets a reputation in the big exam, and finally sends an official down, it is estimated that he is also a small sesame official. However, he pondered that if he wanted to be promoted quickly, he must also go to the poor mountains and bad waters, so that the merits of this way could enter the eyes of the people above, and wealth could really be sought in danger.

As soon as Mr. came, everyone hurriedly sat back, and Xiao Zhi pondered that he should study this idea well.

On the other hand, after receiving the cattle and sheep in the morning, Xi Hongdou rushed back from outside the city, and at noon, the caravan also returned.

"Uncle Gao?" Xi Hongdou was surprised, why did Gao Lichang come?

When Gao Li saw Xi Hongdou, he said: "Hongdou, I haven't seen you for a few days, and this one has grown a lot!" ”

Xi Hongdou smiled, and then saw that Gao Da Niang pulled Gao Yue over with her, Gao Yue didn't smirk this time, but the whole person was like a wooden man, his eyes were dull, and he didn't make a sound, as if he had no soul.

"Uncle, Gao Yue, ...... this?" Xi Hongdou asked, guessing that the Gao family should want to take Gao Yue to Kyoto City to find a good doctor to take a look, so he came with the caravan.

Sure enough, Gao Li sighed and said: "The surrounding counties have also passed, and all the Langzhong have no choice, so I thought that there should be a lot of powerful Langzhong in Kyoto City, so I brought it to see." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, and then said, "They didn't ask you for the travel expenses from Uncle Gao, right?" I'm going to come back! As he spoke, he was going to call Lin Tie over.

In private, everyone brings someone to collect a travel fee, and she also turns a blind eye, all to make more money to support her family, but she can't accept this high money.

"No, no, they didn't ask for my money!" Gao Lichang hurriedly waved his hand: "I rely on them to take care of it all the way." "Daddy Xi came forward to help, and people really didn't ask for a penny.

As soon as Xi Hongdou heard that Lin Tie didn't pull his crotch this time, he asked, "Where does Uncle Gao live?" ”

"Xiaoyue's illness is not a day, I think about renting a room to live in first, and then talk about things later." Gao Li Chang said.

Xi Hongdou nodded: "I happen to know a reliable doctor, when Uncle Gao settles down, I'll take Uncle Gao over!" ”

Gao Lichang nodded, and Xi Hongdou asked Lin Tie to unload a cart of goods first, and then used the car to pull Gao Lichang and them to find a place, so as not to run around with their luggage.

Xi Hongdou watched Gao Lichang leave, and sighed in his heart, Gao Yue should be half a year younger than himself, a marriage, people are crazy, there are actually quite a lot of good people in the world, so many marriages are not all so miserable, and there are also happy marriages, but Gao Yue got such a miserable ending.

In the evening, Lin Tie came back, saying that he had found a rented place, and the landlord of the rented house was still found by Lin Tie, reliable, Xi Hongdou asked the place, and went to the backyard to find Sister-in-law Hu.

Xi Hongdou said hello to Sister-in-law Hu, and the guy's meal made three more people, and after she loaded it, she went directly to the place where Gao Li lived for a long time.

When I arrived at the place, Gao Lichang was packing up his things, the rented place was not big, and there were some days when no one lived, so he needed to sprinkle and clean it well, and he was busy in the afternoon, and when Xi Hongdou came, he knew that it was almost dark.

"Uncle Gao, I brought some food." Xi Hongdou put down his things, wiped the table and put the food on the table.

Gao Li sighed: "It's always troublesome for you, and I don't want to go in my heart." ”

"It's all from the same village, don't I also call it uncle, I have to take care of each other when I go out." Xi Hongdou said, then looked at Gao Yue still sitting on the stool in a daze, and said, "Let's rest for the night today, and tomorrow I will take Uncle and Xiaoyue to find Lang Zhong tomorrow morning." ”

Gao Lichang nodded, and when Xi Hongdou left, Gao Lichang sent people to the door, and his heart was also mixed. is also a father, how can the Xi family support such a capable daughter, why does his own daughter suffer so much with him!

When Xi Hongdou went back to the shop, she happened to meet Xiao Zhi to pick her up, and on the way back, Xi Hongdou told Gao Yue's experience.

"Then this Fang family is really not a thing, just a son like his family, it is not as good as the second ancestor of Kyoto City to look like a person!" As soon as Xiao Zhi said this, Xi Hongdou laughed.

Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was a naked ridicule of himself, so he smiled and said: "Don't believe it, these second ancestors are just that little problem, but they also have a lot of skills, at least they don't just know how to eat and wait for death!" ”

Xi Hongdou asked: "I thought that Brother Gongzi would only rely on his parents to do bad things." ”

"It's not bad, they have to estimate the face of the family at the very least, which of those old adults is not trembling, and the son is at most teasing the women of a good family on the street, if it is really a big trouble, they are also afraid that someone will hold on to the handle." Speaking of which, Xiao Zhi also gave an example: "The pig-headed young master of the Chu family I met last time, just like that, I heard that he is still learning boxing and kicking, and the imperial examination is difficult, but people also want to enter the office." ”

Xi Hongdou is also the first time I've heard of it today, and he also has a misunderstanding about those second ancestors.

However, Xiao Zhi still said: "But some garbage is spicy chicken, and there are nothing at all, like me, I really can't find it!" ”

Xi Hongdou laughed again, this Xiao Zhi really had to praise himself when he had the opportunity!

The two talked and laughed and went home, and saw Mrs. Su leaving from her house again, this time her face was not very good, especially when she saw Xi Hongdou, her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, so she snorted coldly and got into the carriage.

"What's going on?" Xi Hongdou wondered, Mrs. Su used to be happy when she came to the Xiao family, why is she not happy now? Talks collapsed?

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Zhi said, "Mother, didn't you say that you won't be allowed to have any more dealings with Mrs. Su?" ”

Mrs. Xiao said: "She has to come, everyone has arrived, and I can't blow people away, just talk a few words." ”

"You're going to marry her daughter again? Mother, I said it all, don't marry! Xiao Zhi said directly in front of Xi Hongdou: "I won't take a concubine in the future!" "Take this opportunity to let Xi Hongdou also listen to his determination.

Mrs. Xiao said: "I didn't agree, I sternly refused!" ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, no wonder Mrs. Su's expression was so unhappy just now.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao didn't agree, Xiao Zhi didn't say anything, cleaned up and prepared for dinner.

Mrs. Xiao also has her own considerations, although the Su family doesn't mind his son's wife, but she secretly also took Su Huiwan's birthday and asked Ji Guo, the result was not good, she thought that if her son killed three fiancées, he would basically wait for a cold, and now he has been married to Xi Hongdou for so long, Xi Hongdou is also hard-hearted, and it is estimated that it is also providential, and she will not think about anything else in the future, waiting for the big exam to pass, she will get married as soon as possible, and then she will give birth to a grandson in a hurry, and she will be at ease as soon as possible.

After eating, Xi Hongdou was looking at the account book, since Lu Zhi was the Minister of Finance for herself, she could see the account book much more clearly, and now she had saved a lot of money, thinking that it was time to continue to expand the shop, but what she wanted most was to do a street business, just to see if there was a shop near her to sell.

The next day, Xi Hongdou went to Gao Lichang first, and led a family of three to find Fang Langzhong first, Fang Langzhong saw that his good daughter had such a disease, so he said: "This disease is not easy to treat, the family still has time to talk to her more, although people can walk and eat now, but people are like not waking up, they have to find a way to wake people up!" "You can't take medicine for this disease.

Here, Fang Langzhong and Gao Lichang were talking about what to do with this disease, and Xi Hongdou was pulled aside by Fang Sisi.

"What's wrong with the girl? It doesn't look that big. Fang Sisi asked in a low voice.

Xi Hongdou said: "Marrying the wrong person, being stimulated is like this." ”

Fang Sisi was speechless: "Pitiful, it's not bad to be young, when will it be good." ”

Xi Hongdou shook his head, this method in Chinese medicine is a bit like modern psychological psychoanalysis, but in the end, it is still a heart disease, when Gao Yue's heart pain can be better, this disease will be cured.

Fang Langzhong said a lot, but he didn't get the consultation fee, and Gao Li could only go back first after thanking him.

"Uncle, what should I do now?" Xi Hongdou has no choice but to look at Langzhong in Kyoto City, otherwise he will go to a few more houses to try.

Gao Lichang shook his head: "Actually, I have been prepared in my heart for a long time, this child may have to be like this for the rest of his life, I can always support him, but I also have a day when I close my eyes, what can I do then?" "The two of them are also helpless, although the son and daughter-in-law also said that they can take care of it, but after all, he doesn't want to cause trouble to his son and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Gao said with a sad face: "Now there are many people in the village who speak ugly, and Gao Yue is usually docile, but as soon as those people say it, they scream and go crazy, and now everyone in my hometown knows that Gao Yue is really crazy." Although the disease may not be curable, she does not want her daughter to go back.

Gao Li Chang said: "Or let her live here for a while, and if she is better, go back." ”

Xi Hongdou knows how uncomfortable the mouths of the people in the village are, and it is right not to go back now.

"What about the uncle's hometown?" After all, he is the chief, and he can't get old and not go back.

"Let your aunt be here, as long as the living expenses are enough, you can still live a good life." Gao Li Chang said that even if it can't be cured, it is better to prescribe some medicine to drink than to do nothing.
