The ancestors and grandchildren of the Gu family changed color at the same time, Mr. Song held back a smile, and after seeing enough of the two of them, he said: "General, the Marquis of Baoding is not Taizu." A family like the Meng family attaches great importance to rules. Hou Ye will not cure the general's crimes, but he will classify the general outside the same kind. The old man thought that the general's mansion needed to increase manpower and give up the small to take the big. ”

What is the size, Mr. Song doesn't say, the old man knows it.

The next day, the old man rented a rough mother-in-law and bought two little girls. Gu Yao named it Xia Shu and Xia Hua, but was disliked by Yuan Fang. Gu Yao didn't care at all, it had been almost a year since he came to Fengcheng, and the General's Mansion of Nuoda finally had an official subordinate, Gu Yao was very happy, and he also took over the work of the account room, and did the secretary with his left hand.

That word is extremely ugly.

Gu Yao received a monthly sum of 200 yuan, and when he got it, he asked Zhang Quan to buy chicken, duck and fish meat, and Zhang Luo gathered a table of good dishes and feasted Mr. Song and Mr. Gu. Old man Gu was eating with a mouth full of oil, but he said that Gu Yao was a loser.

At the end of the month, the general ledger will be calculated, and the family's expenses will be hung twice. When the old man heard this number, he held his heart for a long time, increased the number of hunts, and made up his mind to earn the money back. By hunting, the ones that he hadn't bought for Gu Yao before were cashed in one by one.

Two gray rabbit skins, one goat skin, one mountain ginseng, and a wolf tooth were used to grind a bracelet for Gu Yao, which was thrown to the bottom of the box by Gu Yao.

The stingy old man is both loving and annoying. Gu Yao is a person who doesn't like to be entangled, so he chose one of the two and decisively chose love. With a heart of love, she became close to the old man.

The emotions that precede people are mutual.

Her change, the old man felt, with the change, began with chatting. The old man talked to Gu Yao about the past, and told him how difficult it was to marry his wife when he lost his father when he was young; Let's talk about how difficult it is for the eldest master's biological mother, who raised his mother for him and provided the second old lady to study; He also talked about his forty years of military adventures.

talked a lot, about Gu Yao's grandmother, father, and Gu Yao's aunt, but didn't mention a word. To put it bluntly, in his memory, in addition to the danger of fighting, there are only all kinds of hardships of the original partner, younger brother, and eldest son who depend on each other.

Gu Yao was bored, grabbed the Analects, and said to him: "Grandpa, I'll read to you, okay?" ”

The old man choked.

Good days are always short-lived, and on the tenth day of August, the Dafang family came back empty-handed for the holiday. The old man saw that the open space next to the road was full of cabbage, and when he saw the two maids again, he complained when he entered the door: "What are you doing with cabbage in a good yard?" Didn't my father say that our family doesn't raise people? Why did you change your mind again? ”

Old Man Gu suddenly found his bosom friend and sighed: "Don't mention it, it hurts when I mention the maid!" Do you think Dad thinks, isn't this following the top? If you don't plant some cabbage to make up for it, my father's heart hurts every day. ”

This is his father, the eldest man regained his former feelings, and said outside: "Hey, Dad, you don't know!" There are more things to do in our guard than cow hair, and Feng Qianhu always uses his son as a donkey. So a few months, how embarrassed is he! And the endless paperwork, if you touch it, is your son's head bigger? ”

These are all within the old man's consideration.

Qian Hao said, he saved a lot for most of the year, took it out and gave it to the eldest master, calmed the person, and said: "Don't be afraid of the official document, I have sent a letter to ask your third cousin to find you a staff member, wait a minute." ”

On August 14, the Meng family sent someone to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, two boxes of moon cakes, a basket of apples, and a basket of autumn pears.

The moon cakes are not as good as Zhang Quan's, the apples are red, crispy and sweet, after Gu Yao finished eating one, he rubbed his swollen stomach, and on the grounds of eating it, he picked up an apple and went to the small kitchen.

"Brother Quan, come out quickly and see what I have brought!"

Zhang Quan came out in response, and saw Gu Yao holding a large round and red fruit, so he asked her, "It looks delicious, what is it?" ”

Zhang Sheng followed him out of the house and said with a smile: "It's an apple, right?" I've seen it before. ”

Seeing that he was also there, Gu Yao hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang is also here!" I'll get another one when I get down. ”

Zhang Sheng hurriedly spoke to stop him, because he said: "I don't eat what you children love to eat." I just ate the mooncakes made by this kid, the skin is soft and sweet, and my teeth are still uncomfortable at this time. ”

Gu Yao knew that it was rare for Zhang Sheng to go home, so he smiled and said a few words to the brothers, and went back to the main courtyard. Seeing that the basket of apples was gone, she asked Yu Niang, "Where are the apples?" ”

Yu Niang said: "The eldest girl likes to eat, the eldest lord said to the general, and moved all the east chambers, saying that she would bring them when she left." ”

Gu Yao pursed his lips and entered the main room, just as he heard the eldest master ask: "Dad, didn't the second brother send a courtesy?" ”

When the old man bowed his head, the old man asked again: "Where to stay?" ”

With a clear location, the eldest man took a pair of children to the storeroom. The locust-like house only stayed for seven or eight days, August 16, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family was full of food and drink, took most of the things sent by Gu Zhixian, and left.

After they left, Gu Yao's eyebrows and eyes, along with the northwest wind, became colder and colder. The three-point favor that only rose to his grandfather was suddenly only one point.

From the first year of Yongle to the second year of Yongle, the first day of the first month, the second day of February, the third day of March, the fifth day of May, the seventh day of July, the fifteenth day of August, and the ninth day of September. Every time, I returned empty-handed and left with a full load.

Gu Yao's monthly money is given to Yu Niang to save fifty every month; The rest is either to improve life, or to ask Yu Niang to buy some silk threads, starting from socks, contracting all the socks of the old man, coaxing the old man to be happy, and life is clean.

On September 13 of the second year of Yongle, Gu Yao's filial piety expired in the third year and 27 months, and he was removed.

took off the linen clothes, put on a light blue jacket, a green skirt, crimson embroidered shoes, and a blue bead flower with ingots hairpins, and suddenly became a delicate little girl, so shocked that Zhang Quan couldn't close his mouth.

Under Yuan Fang's strict teaching, after a year of hard work, Gu Yao's left-handed calligraphy has traces, and he is the leader of sixteen children. Talent is not the main reason, she has more ink, paper and inkstone than others, and more time than others, which is the key. As for the right-handed writing, Gu Yao did not drop a word, and the reason is unknown.

On September 20, the old man proposed to hunt and store winter food collectively before the heavy snow closed the mountain, and everyone followed.

The winter hunting location is set at Lingshan.

The Lingshan Mountains are connected, there are many wild beasts, and it borders the river loop, and ordinary hunters are weak and weak, and if they don't have that ability, they will not climb the mountain at will. Old man Gu and his entourage, more than 40 horses, horses and arrows, only two days, each family per capita half a wild boar, three or five rabbits, dozens of catties of wolf meat.

Although there is a lot of damage, it is worth it.

The third day is also the last day of hunting. The road was also familiar, so Old Man Gu took Gu Yao with him.

Gu Yao followed with great interest, and it didn't take long for him to wilt. After the horses stayed at Cai Linzi at the foot of the mountain, everyone hiked into the mountain, and Gu Yao's little short leg almost cramped.

She didn't come to hunt, but she came to climb the mountains.

Zhang Sheng saw that she was disgusted, and drew cakes with her: "I saw a nest of snow rabbits in the mountain nest yesterday, if the girl likes it, I will catch it for you during the lunch break." ”

The snow rabbit is not a rabbit in the snow, but a snow-white rabbit with a pure coat color, which is extremely rare. Gu Yao pounded his head like garlic, looked at the sun from time to time, and kept persuading the troops to take a lunch break, which made everyone laugh, and the laughter shook the forest birds.
