Look at the guy before entering the store, this is Gu Changning's own experience, and when he saw the guy's attitude, he had no intention of going in.

Gu Huai'an saw that his sister's face was as usual, his eyes looked back at him calmly, and he knew in his heart that his sister really didn't care about being driven away as a beggar by his buddy, so he pursed his lips, nodded his head without saying anything, and the two turned around and left Jinxiufang and walked towards the bookstore.

"Snort, I don't look at what I'm wearing, I dare to go into any store, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to lose money if I get dirty."

The fellow accidentally swept the departing backs of the other guests while he was busy greeting them, muttered a few words with a sarcastic face, turned around and immediately smiled and continued to serve the brightly dressed guests.

The young woman who had been following Gu Changning's brother and sister before was hiding at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite the Splendid Fang, her eyes staring at their figures tightly, her eyebrows twisted, puzzled.

"Why did the two of them come to Donghuang Town?" Seeing Gu Changning and the two walking farther and farther, the woman raised her eyes and swept the signboard of the Splendid Workshop, lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly came over, feeling that she had found the answer, "I know, they must have come to Donghuang Town to embroider for the sister-in-law!" ”

This young woman is the daughter-in-law of Gu Lin, the fourth elder of the Gu family, He.

"Also, the eldest brother is no longer here, isn't there only the sister-in-law who can earn money at home, the sister-in-law is now pregnant again, and it is not suitable to go out, it is understandable that they will replace the sister-in-law to take over the embroidery work, but I don't know how to clean up myself, I am so poor and sour, it is strange that people will let me enter the door." He gloated, gave up the tracking, and turned to leave.

Her mother's home is in Donghuang Town, and she received news from her family a few days ago that her aunt has not been in good health recently, so she took time to come back today to visit.

As a result, when she just passed through a main street, she saw Gu Changning and them coming out of Chen Ji Restaurant, at first she thought that she had seen it wrong, but after staring carefully a few times, she made sure that she didn't recognize the wrong person, and felt strange, so she quietly followed.

Now it seems that he is probably looking for a job.

Ho had automatically assumed that they had gone to the restaurant to find a job.

Thinking of this, He lost interest and left directly.

She has to go back at night, and there is not much time to visit A-Niang, so she can't be delayed.

***

"Let's go to the bookstore first, and then go grocery shopping." Gu Changning counted with his fingers on a serious face, and found that what he needed to buy was not only seasonings such as oil and salt, but also plain silk threads, which had to be made up.

"Hmm." Gu Huai replied absently.

The scene just now made his heart unable to calm down for a long time, thinking of the disdain on that guy's face, Gu Huaian pursed the corners of his lips vigorously, and his heart became a little more determined.

He must be admitted to the imperial examination, so that A-Niang and his sister will no longer suffer such white eyes!

Gu Huai'an's eyes shone with determination.

When the brother and sister arrived at the bookstore, Gu Huaian took the initiative to ask the guys at the bookstore if they needed to find someone to copy the book, with a look of great anticipation.

However, the guy at the bookstore just glanced at him suspiciously, probably because the two of them were dressed too poorly, and the guy didn't believe that he could write any good words, and even said "no, no", and waved them out of the bookstore like flies.

Don't let him try to write two words, he doesn't bother to listen to him.

Gu Changning saw his brother walk out in silence, and said comfortingly: "Actually, I think Donghuang Town is too far away, if you really want to take over the work of the bookstore, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth every time, I think it's good to just take the transcription of Xingshui Town, anyway, brother, you are studying in the town school, it is very close to the bookstore, and you don't need to spend too much time on the road." ”

Gu Huai'an didn't know that his sister was deliberately saying good things, and he wanted him not to mind what happened just now, Gu Huai'an's heart warmed, and he nodded and replied, "Hmm." ”

Also, he has the time he spends on the road, so he might as well use it to copy books, which is actually not much worse.

Gu Changning didn't know what her brother was thinking, she just didn't want her brother to be too tired, because she had just received ten taels of silver from Chen Jinshu, and the problem at home was solved instantly, and her brother didn't have to fight so hard for the time being.

And when she sells vegetables in winter, next year's expenses will be settled.

If I have enough money left, I may be able to let my brother go to the academy next year!

The more Gu Changning thought about it, the happier she became, her heart was bubbling, she urged her brother to hurry up, and she couldn't wait to buy items.

Gu Huai'an saw her walking and turned back to call him, and just wanted to say that she should watch the road carefully, but she saw her sister bumping into a person who came out of the door of a pharmacy, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Ouch." The two who fell shouted in unison.

"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Gu Huai'an hurriedly stepped forward to help his sister up and asked.

"No, it's okay......" Gu Changning shook his head, thinking that it was because of himself, he didn't look at the road and bumped into someone, and he was about to apologize to that person apologetically, but he was stunned after seeing the other party clearly, "I'm sorry for this sister, I ...... How can you be sister! ”

Green Lotus walked out of the pharmacy full of sorrow, but she didn't pay attention to bumping into someone, she subconsciously took care of the medicine in her hand first, and then stood up and was about to say sorry to the other party, but when she heard Gu Changning's words, she raised her head in a daze, and stayed for two seconds before remembering where she had seen this child, and hurriedly replied.

"It's you, little brother, why are you here?"

Gu Huai'an looked at his sister talking to this young woman in confusion, and wondered in his heart, when did his sister meet such a sister who looked like a maid from a big family?

"Brother, this is the sister next to the kind lady who bought our raspberries last time."

Gu Changning caught a glimpse of his brother's doubts and hurriedly pulled him to explain.

Immediately looked at the green lotus with a smile, and said, "Two months have passed since the last farewell, thank Mrs. for buying that basket of raspberries at that time, I can buy some delicious food for A-Niang to go back, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't express my gratitude to Mrs. in person, Changning has always felt guilty, I didn't expect to meet my sister today, it's really fate, I don't know how Mrs. is lately?" ”

Lu He saw that she spoke clearly and coherently, and saw that the child's brother had an elegant temperament, although he was only a teenager, he could already see the demeanor of the jade tree in the wind, which was different from the naughty children of the peasant family next to him, and knew that it was because of someone in the family who disciplined him.

She thought again that if her young master could return safely and grow up...... It should be like this, and I couldn't help sighing, and said: "Where can it be better, our young master went out with the nurse two days ago and got lost on the street, madam...... I was about to faint from crying. ”

"Lost?" Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, glanced at each other with Gu Huai'an, and said busily, "Is there a report to the official?" ”

"Naturally, he reported to the official, the young master is the only son of the master, if something happens to him, I'm afraid he will be killed......"

Green Lotus didn't dare to discuss this matter privately with others in the house, for fear of being heard, so it spread out, which made the master angry, and he couldn't eat and walk around.

Xu is bitterness these days, seeing Gu Changning's concern at this time, she couldn't help but talk about it, and the next second she immediately regretted it, feeling that she had missed her words too much, so she didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"Madame is still waiting for me to buy medicine and go back, so I won't say more and leave."

"Sister walk slowly." Gu Changning looked at her back as she left in a hurry, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

After a while, she raised her head and said to her brother, "Let's go." ”

She and Gu Huai'an first went to buy embroidery thread, and then went to the grocery store to buy oil, salt and other things.

Because he had money in his hand, he was more generous when he bought things, Gu Changning also bought spices and a pound of sugar, which are rarely used in ordinary times, and finally weighed a pound of pork, and the two left Donghuang Town.

On the way back, Gu Changning frowned the whole time, and his expression was a little solemn.

She remembered the case in her previous life again, and was staring and pondering.

"Tired? Do you want to change your brother's back? Gu Huai'an's voice suddenly sounded above her head.

Gu Changning came back to his senses, bent his eyes and smiled: "No, it's just such a thing, I'm not tired at all with it." ”

It's about the little basket she was carrying behind her.

Originally, Gu Huai'an wanted to carry this bamboo basket by himself, but Gu Changning didn't let him and carried it first.

First, she thought that a bag of fungus was not heavy, and she could, and secondly, because the back basket was relatively small, and the image of her brother looking a little weird, she firmly grabbed it.

Now on the way back, Gu Huai'an saw that she didn't have the vitality she had when she came, thinking that the things she bought just now were also heavy, so she wanted to take the bamboo basket over and carry it on her own to reduce the burden on her sister, but she still refused.

And Gu Changning was interrupted by him, forgetting what he was still thinking about, and talked to his brother with his little face, the two discussed how to make this pound of meat, and quickly turned their attention to this matter and recovered their spirits.

When the two returned to Xinghua Village, there was still more than an hour before making dinner.

At this time, it is the time when the adults go to work in the fields and the children play on the village road, so many people gather at the head of the village.

Gu Changning saw them from afar, his footsteps were slightly condensed, and then he remembered that the pork was padded by her at the bottom of the back basket, and it was covered with various things, so he continued to walk in the direction of his house with a little relief.

She would be so careful because in this group of children, she saw Gu Yuehuan's figure.

If Gu Yuehuan knew that their family had bought a pound of meat, her stepgrandmother would come over immediately, so she had to be careful.

Gu Huaian also had the same idea, he glanced at the group of children, thinking that he couldn't show his flaws and hurry away.

Gu Yuehuan was playing a game of catching stones with her friends, when she suddenly heard someone talking to her: "Yuehuan, is that your cousin and Gu Changning?" ”

Gu Yuehuan raised her head, and sure enough, she saw these two people in her sight, she was surprised, her eyes suddenly stopped on the back basket behind Gu Changning, she couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Gu Changning, have you gone to the town to buy something?" ”
