"You stupid boy, why didn't you let Lao Tzu into the house earlier, and I froze to death."

As soon as the bad old man in the living room came in, he fired at Zhang Guoqing: "If there is something delicious at home, serve it to me quickly, I'm starving." ”

"You keep waiting, I'll prepare."

Zhang Guoqing, who came out with meat buns and corn porridge for breakfast, opened the curtain and saw a scene - the old man who took off his torn jacket and wore "twill", and the woolen sweater on the armrest beside him.

He complained: "You said that you are so old that you always find me happy." As long as you are old, you can still use this condition, come to me to eat and drink. ”

"Lao Tzu can find you, because he can afford you. How many people want to invite Lao Tzu to the door, but Lao Tzu is not happy. Call your daughter-in-law to come over, she still has a body. ”

"You see it all the time?"

"Nonsense!" The old man glanced at him with disdain, craned his neck, and stared out the window.

Zhang Guoqing's heart moved when he saw this. It seems that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and the other party has always wanted to find Zhou Jiao by himself.

"Old man, are you an old friend of the Huang family? My daughter-in-law has learned some fur, and it's useless for you to look for her. The Huang family's medical books and family heirlooms were all left in the Northeast Zhou family. ”

The old man looked at him playfully: "Lao Tzu will be rare in the Huang family?" What kind of bullshit is there for the old immortal kicking of the legs, the imperial doctor Huang family, who remembers their Huang family. ”

"Then what are you looking for my daughter-in-law?" Zhang Guoqing brought him a bowl of corn porridge, "Take a sip first, and my daughter-in-law will bring her son in immediately." ”

The old man was not polite, and drank it as soon as he picked it up. He had long seen that this polenta was different from other people's, and the fragrance made him drool. One bite down, as expected, added a lot of good things.

"Give me some more dates in your family. Well, brown sugar gives me some too. ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at him funny: "Didn't you say you wouldn't leave?" Why do you want to bring it back? ”

The old man pretended to be bitter: "If your daughter-in-law is not willing, adding Coptis chinensis is enough for me." I'd better go. Who made my old man's life miserable, and he didn't even have an apprentice. ”

Zhang Guoqing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "No wonder I asked my daughter-in-law if she really remembered it." Are you trying to take her as an apprentice? Not! We don't know where you're sacred. ”

"Dead boy!"

"Annoyed, aren't you? It's really useless, my daughter-in-law can't study medicine, so she has to go to school as soon as she takes the college entrance exam. You've worked in vain. ”

The old man was so angry that he slammed the table: "If you don't look good, you will be a good doctor, why is it not good to study medicine?" You know a! How many people beg to worship Lao Tzu as a teacher, why is it in vain? ”

"It's useless for you to be excited."

Zhang Guoqing dropped a sentence and ran to the door to call Zhou Jiao and her mother to come in for breakfast quickly. As soon as this girl has free time, she always gnaws on those ancient medical books. It's hard to come up with a cheap master who seems to be a master, and they have to leave people behind first.

As the saying goes, it is inevitable that people will get sick if they eat whole grains! Rather than believing in those quacks, it is better to put your own life in your own hands. didn't see the Gu family as a family, but was taken away by a handful of medicine.

Zhou Jiao carried a plate of colorful pickles, led her son in, and put it on the table: "How about you taste it?" ”

"It's clever enough." The old man tasted it, "It would be ......better if I added some herbs."

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly interrupted: "Eat breakfast first, it's getting cold." ”

The old man snorted dissatisfiedly: "Little doll, don't eat these." ”

Ping An smiled and thanked him. This will make him cleverly not interject, and look at everyone as he eats. Just now, the said that she didn't stay silent until she was sure that the other party was coming.

A breakfast ended in Zhang Guoqing and the old man's quarrel, and Zhou Jiao could see her eyebrows. The other party seems to want to take himself as an apprentice, but how can there be a free lunch in the world?

She is always on her guard when it comes to being courteous. The other party can guide her son in one bite, and she is willing to provide for such talents, even if she raises them for nothing, she may be able to use them one day.

But it would be ridiculous to send them to the door to take them as apprentices! She Zhou Jiao, He De, how can she make a person who has never known each other suspicious of the master.

After the meal, the old man patted his stomach comfortably, let out a loud fart, and proudly praised himself for the health of his internal organs. Let Zhou Jiao's eyelids twitch on the side.

She now wondered if this unsophisticated old man was really a master? If she wasn't really bored, she would have planned to go back to her room to get a sweater.

"I have received great grace from the Jade Prince." The old man's sudden words fell into memory, "When I was young, I was praised by others, and I always felt that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and he didn't care about anyone." That year, a eunuch came to the palace with an edict to invite me, and at that time, my master warned me that the affairs between nobles were interfered with. ”

Zhou Jiao knew that he was talking about what he wanted to talk about back then.

"At that time, there was a woman who was more than eight months old and fell into a coma, and many imperial doctors proposed to protect the dragon fetus first, and planned to take the last step to open the abdomen and take the child."

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing, and the two glanced at each other.

"I would be so angry that such a beautiful woman was holding her stomach tightly even when she was unconscious. Children are fate, but adults are not. As soon as I was excited, I took the initiative to ask for help. ”

Zhou Jiao understood that something must have happened later, otherwise there would be no business with her grandfather.

“…… Many veteran doctors came out to stop it, seeing that no matter how late it was, the lives of adults were really not guaranteed. We quarreled, and I didn't know when one of the imperial doctors would leave, and when I knew it was too late, he said that he had already received his will. That's the Queen Mother, who dares to resist. ”

"Less than a while after the medicine was poured, the emperor came and forced us to save our lords. I was very moved at the time, thinking that God had eyes and went to Mao Sui to recommend himself, but it turned out that there were a lot of bullshit rules, and when the midwife listened to me, everyone died, and the baby boy who was urged down also died. ”

Zhou Jiao took a breath. The imperial power is supreme, so you really have to be buried.

"At that time, the emperor didn't blame it, and there was a doctor inside who pointed to Lao Tzu and said that Lao Tzu was responsible. The old guys of the whole Tai Hospital coaxed together, and I understood the meaning of my master's words at that moment. ”

After speaking, the old man looked at Zhou Jiao, and his eyes seemed to want to find a shadow through her.

"Seeing that my life is in jeopardy. The Queen Mother got the news and rushed over, and I shouldn't have died. On that day, Zhou Gongzi was also summoned to the palace, and he followed the queen mother and several people to stand in the main hall. After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, he said that God has the virtue of a good life. Just this sentence left my life behind. ”

Zhou Jiao shook her head: "This is not a great favor. ”

The old man glared at her: "What does the little doll know." At that time, there were also brothers who came in with Yu Gongzi, but no one pleaded for me. We are like dogs in their eyes, dead and dead.

If someone else speaks, the queen mother won't listen to it, that's because Yu Gongzi knows, right? As soon as he finished speaking, several elder brothers helped to say good things. ”

Zhou Jiao touched her nose. Do you need to be so excited?

On the side, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly changed the topic: "You are the emperor and the queen mother, can you tell me about your old year?" ”

"Hmph," the old man turned around arrogantly, "I won't tell you!" If you count it yourself, Lao Tzu was only fifteen years old that year, five years older than Yu Gongzi. ”

Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing. No wonder he said that he was young and vigorous, but he was still a hairy boy!

Zhang Guoqing on the side gave a thumbs up: "You are amazing!" So you're eighty-six years old, so you're really young. It's really old and strong! ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "It's useless to be old." ”
