Hearing her ask, Gu lowered his head and looked embarrassed.

"I, I ......"

I was for a long time, but I never thought of how to speak.

"Mother, this money was given to you by your aunt, right?"

Waiting for Gu Junlan's words to fall, Gu bit his lower lip and nodded lightly.

In the morning, Gu went to Qingyang Village next door, and now she suddenly brought back these copper plates, except for the kind old man who had only met once in Gu Junlan's memory, she almost didn't think about him.

Back then, when Gu went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, she never returned, and in the evening, she was found lying in rags on the mountain road by the village chopping wood.

After being rescued, he locked himself in the house for months without saying a word.

During this period, the family business that was originally scheduled was also withdrawn.

More than half a year has passed, but the girl of the Gu family, who has not yet left the cabinet, gave birth to a baby girl.

Thinking of what happened before, everyone in the village said: The daughter of the Gu family was indecent, and she went up the mountain in the middle of the night to have a tryst with a man, not only lost her virginity before marriage, but also gave birth to wild seeds.

The gossip in the village made Gu's father unbearable, and he expelled Gu Haizhu from the house in a fit of anger.

Even if Gu's mother tried her best to protect it, she couldn't save the situation in the end.

Over the years, although Gu Haizhu and her daughter have built a thatched hut at the foot of the remote mountain in the village, their life is hard.

But the parents, who are in the same village, turned a blind eye.

In Gu Junlan's memory, over the years, she only married her aunt from a neighboring village, and asked her son to send something to help their mother and daughter.

"Lan'er, don't be angry, my mother didn't take it in vain, my mother secretly left a few embroidery samples at your aunt's."

She looked at Gu Junlan's face was slightly gloomy, afraid that she would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.

"Mother, I really need money."

Although there are not many copper plates, at this time, Gu Junlan feels like ten thousand gold in his hand.

"Hey, you take it, my mother will find more work, and save more dowry for Lan'er when the time comes."

After knowing that Gu Junlan was not angry, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Hearing about saving the dowry, Gu Junlan suddenly wanted to escape.

Seeing her thoughts, Gu Shi reached out and nodded her eyebrows: "Lan'er, don't laugh, my mother has no ability, and the dowry can only be saved for you early." ”

After coming here for more than half a month, what Gu Junlan was most afraid of was listening to Gu Shi say these words, and she quickly got out of bed as soon as she slipped away.

"Mother, I'm still boiling water in the pot! I'll have to see. ”

When I went to the stove room, I found that the firewood in the stove was almost gone, and the mint water in the pot was already ready.

Gu Junlan took a bowl and cooled it for a while before bringing it in.

"Huh? Lan'er, are you staying up with night incense? ”

After tasting it, Gu asked.

Nightshade? Could it be that this is the name of peppermint in ancient times?

Gu Junlan didn't know, she could only nod: "Mother, drink it, relieve the heat." ”

In modern heat stroke, they drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and this dynasty doesn't know where to find Huoxiang, even if there is one in the mountains, they may not recognize it.

Just now, I happened to see mint on the edge of the well outside, and I thought that in modern times, people will purify mint and refine it into mint oil, which also has the effect of refreshing the mind, so Gu Junlan took a handful of it and boiled water.

"I didn't think that this night polyphony could relieve the heat, my mother used to treat it as a wild vegetable and put some seasoning."

For what Gu Junlan said, Gu has always been convinced.

Just because he reached school age, Gu took the surplus money he saved every year as a constraint and sent his daughter to a private school.

So Gu Junlan is also the only literate woman in this Liuli village.

At the beginning, everyone in the village laughed at Gu for being crazy and stupid.

A little girl, when she reaches the age of leaving the cabinet, she should get married, teach her husband and children, and burn the money to read the Rausch book.

When Gu Junlan, who was still the original owner at the time, was ridiculed by the people in the same private school, he came back and cried to the Gu family.

But after she finished crying, Gu gently touched her head and said to her:

A woman in the capital is virtuous if she is not talented, but her mother knows that no matter whether she is a man or a woman, she can only be reasonable if she knows books, and she just wants you to live a clear life in this life.
