Chapter 125: Sympathy

The fifteenth day of each month is the fixed day for the Cao family to go to Xinglong Temple to offer incense, and it is also the only day for Gu Bainiang to enter this temple.

"Eighteen Niang, you go to the guest room to rest for a while." Coming out of the main hall, Cao said.

Cao's rule is that every time you must worship all the Buddha halls before and after, because the mother and daughter don't say anything, Gu Bainiang will not accompany each other.

For Cao's family, every time her daughter can come with her, she is already very satisfied.

"I went to Zhuxuan Building to sit down, made an appointment with the people of the Xin family, and my mother went by herself." Gu Bainiang replied.

Cao Shi nodded, and told her not to catch a cold from the wind and took the servant woman with him.

Gu Bainiang came to the front of Zhuxuan Tower, and Xin Chaoling, who was only wearing a cotton robe, greeted her.

"Why is the groom here?" Gu Banniang said with a smile, giving a shallow salute.

Xin Chaoyang just got married a month ago and married the third lady of the Hengzhou Yihexing Medicine Shed.

"It's better to work more and work more." Xin Chaoling said with a frown.

Gu Bainiang smiled, I heard that this third lady from Hengzhou is quite masculine, but not only in temperament, but also in appearance, so she dragged herself into an old girl before getting married.

To say that Xin Chao Ling is also good-looking, and he has always boasted that he is a master of flowers, he never looks at flowers and grasses, and in the end, the famous Young Master Ling marries this daughter-in-law, it is indeed a big joke and a big grievance.

Gu Bainiang listened to the people in the medicine store laughing behind her back and said that this was because Da Yousheng took a fancy to a batch of good wild ginseng from Yihexing, but although Yihexing Pharmacy was small but had a big temper, he refused to sell, and Dayousheng somehow knew that the heart disease of the boss of Yihexing was the third lady who couldn't get married, so he had this marriage.

In this way, Xin Chaoling is also worth the price of a batch of wild ginseng, and Gu Banniang can't help but feel a little sympathetic.

"Anyway, that's what I'm doing at home..."Xin Chaoling grinned and said, obviously knowing that jokes about him Ling Dashao selling his body were all over the city now, and no matter how dull he was, he could understand Gu Ba Niang's eyes.

Gu Bainiang was silent, it would be good if people could see it.

"It's better to be useful than not to be useful." She smiled.

Xin Chaoling smiled, "It's cold outside, Gu Niangzi went in to talk, my brother and uncle made good tea." ”

said that he turned sideways and got out of the way, but he didn't mean to go in.

Is he not qualified to go in, others are sitting in the warm house, but he is standing in the cold wind, speaking of which is also a young master, in fact, he has no status at all, Gu Bainiang glanced at him sympathetically, "Then you can get busy." ”

"Not busy, not busy." Xin Chaoling rubbed his hands and smiled, "The cheap inner burns incense, and it is estimated that it is also burned, so I will take her back." ”

Gu Bainiang nodded, and then took the little girl up the stairs.

Seeing the little girl in the silver-white satin cloak disappear in front of her, Xin Chaoling stood in place in a daze.

The little guy on the side couldn't help but stomp his feet lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Young master, let's go quickly." ”

"Where are you going?" Xin Chaoling turned his attention and glared at the little guy.

The little girl couldn't help but slump, "Didn't you say to pick up the young grandmother, this incense should be burned, if you don't go, the young grandmother will get into the carriage....."

Before he finished his words, he was kicked by Xin Chaoling.

"you, I'm hungry and disgusting" Xin Chaoling glared and shouted, smacking twice, "Go, prepare the car, pick up your little aunt and go to the old gold shop to play the head noodle"

The little guy covered his ass and ran away, only complaining, isn't this what you said, how can it be blamed on my head, and his face became too fast.

Xin Chaoling snorted, swayed and sang a colorful song, and slowly followed away.

In the Zhuxuan Building, Gu Ba Niang sat down with Xin Chaoyang and the three elders of the family, the Xin family congratulated Gu Hai High School Gongshi, and Gu Ba Niang congratulated the Xin family on double happiness.

In just a few months, Xinjia Dayousheng has almost occupied more than half of the market in the Jiankang pharmaceutical industry, which is unprecedented.

Several elders of the Xin family smiled at each other, and bowed their hands to Gu Eighteen Niang, "This is all dependent on Gu Niangzi's care." ”

Gu Bainiang almost laughed, and hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

This group of people is a three-year-old child, and they believe it after a few words, a huge medicine store, can it be invincible with just one pharmacist?

But it is undeniable that he and his master Liu Gong have indeed added a lot of luster to them, and just one thing about the medicine provided by Liu Gong's disciples is enough to make Dayousheng quickly expand his name.

Everyone loves to listen to compliments, and the uncles of the Xin family do this, which is in line with common sense and makes people feel happy.

"This second happiness is that my family's Chaoling, an unsuccessful thing, has finally married, thank you for the congratulatory gift from Gu Niangzi, you are really polite." An old man twisted his beard and said, his face was full of sighs and joy.

"I don't know when Gu Niangzi's house is happy?" The other old man replied with a smile.

Someone coughed, how could anyone talk about other people's relatives in front of a girl's family, it was too abrupt.

Gu Bainiang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Everything has its own mother." ”

This was revealed, the tea was drunk three times, the gossip was rampaged, everyone was a businessman, and time was money, so several people glanced at each other and began to go straight to the topic.

"This is Gu Niangzi's hard money." The old man pushed a thin envelope over.

Medicine money is medicine money, hard labor money is hard labor money, and the two have nothing to do with each other.

Gu Bainiang didn't refuse, and she didn't look at it, she believed that the letter would not be shallow in terms of money.

"Then let you break the bank." She laughed.

Everyone smiled and was polite to each other.

"Gu Niangzi, there is one thing... After laughing, an old man said with some hesitation on his face.

As soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a young man in a cloth and green scarf came over excitedly holding a stack of tapes.

He stood outside the pavilion, his gaze sweeping inside, obviously stunned.

"Chunfang, what's wrong?" The old man stopped, coughed, and said with a bit of majesty.

The young man's face was a little excited, his gaze only swept over Gu Bainiang slightly, and then he lowered his head and didn't look at it a second time.

“.. Uncle... I... I thought Xie Yuangong was also there... So.. So I took the liberty to ask for advice......" he whispered, and turned around to leave, but unexpectedly the book fell down as soon as he bent over, and hurriedly picked it up, apologizing a little embarrassed.

Xin Chaoyang had already stood up, helped him pick up two books, and smiled while looking at Gu Bainiang.

"Xie Yuangong didn't come, Xie Yuangong's sister came..."He laughed.

Since coming in, Xin Chaoyang has been sitting at the table, being a tea boy steadily, and has not said a word.

This is everyone's son-in-law demeanor, although Gu Baniang and the old people present know in their hearts that this young man has already mastered the decision-making power in the family, but on the occasion of these old men, he still has to abide by the etiquette of the younger generation.

Gu Banniang smiled at him when she heard this, and her eyes fell on the young man, seeing that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was quite handsome, with a strong bookish atmosphere.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty prohibits businessmen from entering the office, it is not very strict in the restrictions on their children's scientific examinations, so the businessmen who have earned the gold and silver mountains and live an incomparably rich life, after being fed up with the grievances brought by the identity, will be divided into two categories in the cultivation of the children in the family, one inherits the mantle and makes money in business, and the other type studies to earn fame and fame, fame and fortune, which is the real rich family.

There is no doubt that the young man in front of him is the son of the Xinjia who embarked on the path of studying.

"I've seen Gu Niangzi..."The young man hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the book in his hand shook again.

Gu Banniang hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

"Eighteen Niang, I don't know if I can make it convenient.." Xin Chaoyang smiled, and pointed at the young man, "This is my cousin, Chunfang, I have been looking up to Xie Yuangong for a long time, but Xie Yuangong went to Beijing to study, and after coming back, he closed the door and thanked the guests, can I ask you to let Chunfang meet?" ”

Gu Bainiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Xin Chaoyang with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"If you want to say that you want to concoct such and such a medicine again, I will never agree...."She laughed, "If you want to talk about meeting my brother, that's no problem." ”

Xin Chaoyang and several old men all laughed.

"It turns out that Gu Niangzi looked solemn when she came in, it turned out to be to prevent us from this..."The old man smiled, his smile was a little unnatural, "Where can I embarrass Gu Niangzi again, so it would be too untrustworthy..."

Gu Bainiang smiled and said: "My master said, when dealing with you people, you must be vigilant and vigilant, otherwise you may sell yourself if you say the wrong thing..... I am young, to be honest, every time I come to see a few elders, I am very nervous..."

"No wonder Gu Niangzi never refused to go to the banquet, it turned out that she was afraid that she would not be able to eat at the Hongmen banquet." Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Exactly." Gu Bainiang nodded and smiled.

Everyone laughed.

"Gu Niangzi is too worried." The old men shook their heads and laughed.

Xin Chunfang, a young man who had been standing outside the door, couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but look at this Gu Niangzi twice, seeing her smiling, revealing a kind of open-mindedness that is rare in women.

"Then thank you Gu Niangzi." He bowed his head and thanked him again.

"You're welcome, there must be my teacher in the threesome, and it is also beneficial for my brother to discuss knowledge with you." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

The young man said a few words that he didn't dare to dare to, and then he didn't stay any longer and retired.

But Xin Chaoyang and the others apologized for his unexpected appearance, and drank another cup of tea, Gu Bainiang asked the old man before he wanted to say something.

"Just to say this, Chunfang also studied hard, but it was always a little worse, this is the second time to take the exam, and it's still 。。。。。" The old man said with a smile, shaking his head and sighing.

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will always pass the test." Gu Banniang hurriedly comforted.

The old man thanked him again and again, and when he saw that Gu Banniang had finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

Seeing the girl go down the stairs, the green and withered bamboo bushes blocked Xin Chaoyang's view.

"Chaoyang, in fact, if you want to say that it is suitable, you are the most suitable... An old man whispered in the back.

Xin Chaoyang turned around, sat down on the warm mat, poured his tea slowly, and shook his head slowly, "No, I'm the most inappropriate." ”

"Why?" The three old men asked in unison.

They are very proficient in business, and it is no different to say that this child's family affairs are no different from doing business, but this time Xin Chaoyang's decision is really difficult for them to understand.

"Chunfang, where can he compare to you, in terms of appearance, in terms of family status, in addition to reading a few books, even reading is not comparable to you, if you can refer to it, our family has already come out of Hanlin Bachelor。。。。。" An old man said, "Chaoyang, don't be afraid that the Gu family will dislike your businessman identity, although their family has a Xie Yuan, what if they have a champion?" As far as their family background is concerned, they will drink tea for a lifetime in the Hanlin Academy, or let them out to mix with the prefect, although we are a businessman, the relationship is also extensive, with your son-in-law, for the son of the Gu family, it must be like a fish in water, this truth They can understand it if they think about it carefully, where can they see Chunfang。。。。。 ”

Xin Chaoyang shook his head and raised his hand to signal that they didn't need to say anything more.

"It's not because of this." He smirked, "It's because she doesn't believe me." ”

The three old men glanced at each other, a little surprised, "Gu Niangzi doesn't believe you?" Unbelief? Three media and six hires, can we still play with her in marriage events? ”

"It's not this, it's ... Xin Chaoyang smiled, "She's wary of me. ”

There was a flash of helplessness in his smile, "This little lady is very strange, since I saw her for the first time, she gave me the feeling that she was 。。。。。 ”

He pinched his forehead, as if it was really against his will to say the following sentence.

“。。。。 I know and am familiar with me... Xin Chaoyang said, "It's the first time I've met such a person, whether I say it or not, she just sits there, with that kind of look that I know what you're thinking。。。。。 ”

These words made the three old men look at each other.

"No, Chaoyang, it's your overthinking." They said, not to mention outsiders, even those of them who grew up watching Xin Chaoyang dare not say that they can see through him at a glance.

"Uncle and uncle, have I been worried about it too much?" Xin Chaoyang looked a little solemn and said in a deep voice.

The three old men straightened their expressions and nodded.

"So, I'm the most inappropriate... Xin Chaoyang lowered his head and poured tea, and the water vapor steamed up to block his expression, ". . . If you really open your mouth to their house and propose marriage to me, we will definitely be rejected, so our family will never have a chance again. ”

"Then if you want to say that, if she guards against you, she naturally guards against our family, so isn't it the same if Chunfang goes?" An old man said with a bad face.

"It's different." Xin Chaoyang raised his head and showed a smiling face, "Chunfang is just right, it is very similar to Gu Niangzi's family, for people who have been in the same situation as themselves, everyone will unconsciously add a little favor in their hearts, that is, as the saying goes, sympathy for the same disease... ”

The three old men nodded.

"Then you let Chao Ling say those things below? Doesn't it make her feel that our family is very powerful and impersonal? That impression is even worse... An old man remembered and said, frowning slightly, "This Gu Niangzi is a family of poets and scholars, and the most taboo is for us businessmen who value profit over righteousness. ”

"Let her sympathize." Xin Chaoyang said, "Sympathize with Chao Ling, even Chao Ling can be arranged by the family at will, and Chunfang, a side branch, will not be able to be independent in the future. ”

"Just because of sympathy, she will agree to marry Chunfang?" The three old men disagreed and shook their heads, "This Gu Niangzi, how to be iron-hearted, who doesn't know Jiankang people... ”

"No, no," Xin Chaoyang waved his hand, "she's not... Having said this, he suddenly didn't want to continue, refilled the water to the teapot, lowered his head and said, "Putting this aside, I didn't deceive her, Chunfang was carefully selected by me, and it is really suitable for her。。。。。。 ”

His voice was lowered, and if he listened closely, he could detect a faint taste of something else.

At this point, the three old men also breathed a sigh of relief, and thought about Fang Cai's words in series, and their faces could not hide their joy.

"It's all taken into account, when Chunfang and Gu Niangzi's family are familiar, and then ask someone to come to the door to ask for marriage, for a woman, it is not a blind marriage and dumb marriage, and it is a scholar who will not humiliate the lintel in the future, this family business must be no problem, not to mention that she is only wary of us asking her for medicine again, and she will never think that we are just letting Chunfang know her today。。。。。" The three of them said with a smile.

They all thought about it, the only thing they didn't consider was whether this girl wanted to get married, but they wouldn't have thought of this if they wanted to break their heads, how could there be a beautiful girl in this world who didn't want to marry, all girls, no matter how noble or beautiful, would all go on the same road and run towards the same goal, that is, to get married, it was a pity that Gu Banniang had already walked this road, so she was ready to take a different path.

Not to mention the secret joy of a few people in the Zhuxuan Building, and said that since Gu Bainiang came out, she always felt that something was wrong.

"They must have asked for some kind of medicine that was individually customized, so with the appearance of that scholar, I blocked this request in advance, so they didn't mention it again... She frowned as she walked, repeating all the scenes in her mind, they called themselves here, it should be this purpose.

She shook her head and didn't think about it anymore, no matter what they did, it was all for the sake of profit, and if the benefit exceeded her tolerance, then just refuse.

For her Gu Ba Niang, there is no friendship to talk about, besides, to a family like Xin Chaoyang, there is friendship to talk about.

"Poor Young Master Ling, it's worth the price of a batch of wild ginseng... She sighed, and unconsciously thought of that scholar again, it seemed that his status was not as good as that of Young Master Ling, and he failed the exam if he couldn't study, and he was pitiful, and he didn't know that he would be taken out in exchange for benefits in the future。。。。。。

"Amitabha, female benefactor, long time no see." A Buddha horn interrupted Gu Bainiang's thoughts, she couldn't help but stop, frowned, and looked at the old monk in front of her who didn't want to see.

"Master of Understanding." In view of the awe of being seen through the origin, although Gu Banniang was reluctant, she still bowed her head and saluted.

This old monk has many famous believers, and if he accuses himself of being a demon, he will be in trouble, but at present, it seems that this old monk's attitude is okay.

"The benefactor is calm between her eyebrows, so very good, very good." Master Ran said with a smile on his face.

Gu Bainiang laughed dryly, and excused herself that she couldn't let her mother wait for a long time.

"Female donor, everything in the world has a fate, let it 。。。。。" Master Ran said later.

Let it be natural This sentence is Gu Bainiang's taboo, for her, it means that their family will die, she stopped and turned around, waved her hand, the little girl understood, and hurriedly walked away a few steps.

"Master, since everything in the world has a fate, why do you want to divulge the secret of heaven? Why not go with the flow? She said in a low voice, looking at the old monk with a bit of resentment, "Also, did you tell Gu Yu?" ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't smoothly move on to the next plot, hey, let's stop for a while, don't chase after it, and wait until this period is over.

...
