Chapter 117: Grace

"Master.." Gu Banniang blurted out.

Liu Gong, who covered his mouth and suppressed a loud cough, glared at her.

"Uncle." Gu Bainiang changed her name and walked quickly in front of him, "Just when you came back, let Mr. Peng take your pulse ......"

Liu Gong's cough passed, and he waved his hand at Gu Eighteen Niang.

"Don't be funny, I'm still using him to take the pulse," he said, "Have you done your homework?" Idle all day long"

"Mr. Peng is a miracle doctor...."Gu Bainiang ignored him to change the topic and continued.

"It's Hua Tuo...."Liu Gong said casually, half of the words were half-contained, looking at Gu Bainiang's obvious insistence, he smiled, "I said girl, I know my own illness..... so you go and make me a phlegm rolling pill.."

"Just eat this?" Gu Bainiang didn't understand medical theory, and the fox asked.

"Done." Liu Gong nodded, urging her to go quickly.

Gu Bainiang sighed, and then turned around.

"By the way, you don't go out on the first day of July, do you? No mistakes, not a few words," she asked, turning again.

"Do?" Liu Gong stroked his chest with one hand and asked.

"There is a happy event, I have a banquet in the White Crane Tower, and I want to invite you to enjoy your face." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

"Happy event? Is your brother a junior sergeant? Liu Gong said curiously, shaking his head again, "No, I haven't taken the exam yet..... otherwise you're a girl?" ”

Gu Banniang smiled silently, as long as he must go.

"Okay, eat for nothing, I can still go..."Liu Gong said hehehe.

Gu Bainiang turned around with a smile and walked away, walking briskly.

This girl rarely laughs, even if she laughs, she smirks, Liu Gong rubbed her messy hair, and watched thoughtfully as the girl selected medicinal herbs and entered the concoction room, although they didn't get along for a long time, he knew very well that there were not many times when this girl could show her sincere smile.

This girl...... Liu Gong sighed, turned around and entered the house.

At the same time, all the medicine stores in Jiankang received invitations signed by Gu Bainiang, regardless of the scale, which surprised and frightened many people, especially the pharmacists who had participated in the Baohetang incident.

After that incident, Baohetang withdrew from the Jiankang Pharmaceutical Industry, and the business in other places also suffered a lot, and a famous pharmacist named Master Dong disappeared for some reason, but everyone knew that all of this was inseparable from this Gu Niangzi.

It was not written on the post, and everyone asked each other, but they couldn't find a clue, so they had to wait anxiously for the arrival of the first day of the seventh month.

After a night rain, everything was quiet, Cao Shi came to Gu Bainiang's door with the soup cup, and saw that the lights were on in the room as always, and a slender figure reading quietly was reflected in the window lattice.

"Eighteen mothers.." Cao pushed the door in.

"Mother, why haven't you slept yet?" Gu Banniang hurriedly got up and smiled, reaching out to take the soup bowl.

Cao Shi looked at his daughter's thin face and the rough hand stretched out, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

"Eighteen Niang, have you thought about it?" She sighed.

Gu Banniang smiled and drank the soup and tea in a few sips.

Her daughter's every move, smile and word is very different from before, not like before and not like the girls of the same year, this body is really a soul in her twenties......

The soul that has lived alone for ten years without his mother and brother, and after life and death, this soul is strong and wise enough.

It's a joy to see his child become gratifying, but thinking about how this change came about, Cao feels like a knife in his heart.

If the husband was still there, if it weren't for the family's decline, the daughter wouldn't have made this choice, right? No mistakes in many words

Cao's tears fell.

"Mother, is this sad?" Gu Banniang put down the soup bowl and said with a smile.

"I'm happy." Cao wiped away her tears, covered her sadness, and stroked her daughter's black hair spread out like water.......

"Mother, I think, having a scholar identity, finding a good in-law to get a good marriage, is not necessarily the whole definition of happiness." Gu Bainiang knew everything about Cao's heart, she smiled, "What's more, it's a good marriage?" Is it just a good marriage to marry a rich and powerful family? ”

said and laughed at himself, "In this case, I can be considered a happy person....."

Cao wept and caressed her hand with pity, the status of the Shi clan did not bring her any benefit, and only unforgettable sadness and hatred remained.

"Mother," Gu Banniang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think it's embarrassing to have a daughter like me....."

Before she finished her words, she was covered by Cao's mouth.

"My mother must have been blessed with penance for several lifetimes, and she has a daughter like you." Cao said softly.

Gu Banniang smiled, and the trace of worry hidden in her heart disappeared.

"This is a letter from your brother." Cao Shi took out a piece of tissue paper.

"Write again?" Gu Bainiang was shocked, she only received the letter a few days ago, this is coming again, could it be something?

"Eighteen mothers.. I asked you to tell your brother..."Cao said softly, "This is your great joy, and it is also a great joy for our family, if you miss it, your brother will regret it..."

Gu Bainiang was slightly stunned, because she was afraid of affecting Gu Hai's preparation, she didn't tell him about it, and subconsciously she was not afraid that he would object.

Although the mother said this, Gu Bainiang understood that she must also be afraid of her son's opposition, so she wrote to persuade her.

What would my brother say? Gu Bainiang suddenly felt heavy when she held the thin paper, her behavior was indeed a little out of line...... But it had to be done

She took a deep breath and opened the thin piece of paper, which was not strictly an epistle but more like a draft of a practice poem.

On a piece of tissue paper, only two lines of words were written.

The heart is grateful for blood, and a drop dyes the world.

Gu Banniang only felt that her eyes were hot and shed a tear.

On the first day of the seventh month, the sky was sunny, and when Gu Bainiang helped Liu Gong get out of the car, Liu Gong still looked uncomfortable.

"Come to dinner, you have to change your clothes," he muttered, wrinkling his face, wearing a newly made green silk summer coat, and tugging twice from time to time.

"Where's my sack." He hurriedly looked back again.

"Here." Peng Yizhen smiled and respectfully handed over the sack.

Liu Gong stretched out his hand to grab it, and then he felt a little more at ease, snorted, and strode in.

The hall was already full of people, and the gift boxes were piled up in the gatehouse of the White Crane Tower, and when they saw them come in, everyone stood up and said hello one after another.

"You are a shameful loser" Liu Gong obviously didn't expect such a big battle, his face suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand to Gu Ba Niang, "How many times have you said it, our pharmacists just make medicine and don't deal with people."

said that he hated iron and steel, hindering the large number of people, he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "You girl, you are so stupid that you will be deceived and help you count the money..."

Listening to his unceremonious accusation, Gu Bainiang just laughed.

"Master, you are so kind to me.." She suddenly interrupted the chattering Liu Gong and said sullenly.

There was a nasal voice in the voice, as if it came from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Gong couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of warmth suddenly rose from the old man's heart.

Although this girl is not as smart as others, she is very sharp in her eyes when she sees people and things, and she can always peel off the cocoon in other people's words and hit the nail on the head.

No matter how much words seemed to be necessary, Liu Gong turned his head and sighed.

"Gu Niangzi, Gu Niangzi..."Xin Chaoling, who was sitting in the front position on the left, looked at Gu Eighteen Niang and hurriedly raised his hand to say hello.

Gu Bainiang saw it, smiled at him, and her eyes fell on Xin Chaoyang, who was sitting and drinking tea, and nodded.

Xin Chaoyang put down the teacup and made a congratulatory gesture at her with both hands.

Gu Bainiang smiled and cast a smart compliment.

Xin Chaoyang bowed his hand again and smiled modestly.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Xin Chaoling asked puzzled, while learning Xin Chaoyang's gestures, watching Gu Eighteen Niang pass, the smile on his face did not dissipate, "This, how can you make Gu Niangzi smile so happily?" ”

Make up your mind to keep it in mind in order to please the God of Wealth.

Xin Chaoyang smiled but did not answer, "Sit down, don't make noise, you will know in a while." ”

Seeing Gu Bainiang leading herself to a single position high in the middle, Liu Gong snorted.

"Don't want me to sit there," he flicked his sleeves and sat down on the side.

President Huang and others were already sitting at this table, and when they saw him sit down, three older people immediately got out of the way, and Gu Bainiang didn't force it, so let him sit down.

Gu Bainiang glanced around the hall and saw that it was full of people, in fact, she didn't know how many invitations she had sent, and she had no way of knowing whether she came or not, but this scene should be enough.

"Thank you for agreeing." She looked around and said aloud, giving a slight salute.

The hall resounded with the sound of a chaotic salute.

"I invite you here today to witness a great event." After the noise subsided, Gu Bainiang continued.

The people in the hall exchanged their heads and ears, not knowing what was important.

Gu Niangzi's brother understands Yuan, this has already been congratulated? Could it be that this little lady is going to get married?

That's a big deal, but it doesn't need to be said that way, right? No mistakes in many words

Looking at this scene, Liu Gonghu's heart jumped, and a thought that had been thought about but had been thrown away came out, and for a while, sweat seemed to come out of his palms.

It can't be....

"Why don't you serve the food yet" He paused chopsticks and muttered in a low voice, as if this could dissolve the inexplicable emotions.

"Come on." Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand.

But no food came up, but a group of small servants holding incense burners and waiting for fish to come up and place them in front of the seats in the hall.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the people sitting close to them showed surprised expressions when they saw the words on the two tablets.

Two tablets, one Shennong and one Qibo, this is the ancestor of their medicine world.

People who couldn't see clearly stood up one after another, asking the people in the front row, and soon it spread, and there was a buzz in the hall.

By this time, everyone had basically guessed it.

"Eighteen Niang, I thank Liu Gong for his favor and guidance, but the qualifications are reckless, and I have never dared to call the teacher, today, in front of colleagues in the Jiankang pharmaceutical industry, Eighteen Niang is here to worship the teacher, and the apprentice is the same...."Gu Eighteen Niang said, and then bowed to Liu Gong, "I hope that the master will not dislike the disciple is dull, and the disciple will be introduced." ”

Although they guessed it, everyone couldn't hide their shock when they heard her say it herself.

Gu Banniang is not Liu Gong's apprentice, everyone already knows, the well-known version is that the two of them got married by chance, Gu Banniang bought medicine because of the poverty of the family, and got Liu Gong's guidance, that's all, the Gu family was originally an official eunuch's family, although Gu Ba Niang showed up to make a living because of poverty, but she is still a young lady of the official family, not to mention that now her brother is in high school Xie Yuan, and she has already stepped into the official career, at this time, Gu Ba Niang is not selling medicine and has no worries about making a living.

Unexpectedly, she did not return to the inner mansion boudoir, but had to perform a great ceremony.

If you say that it is not a big deal to point out one or two, but if you worship the ancestor and worship the master, it means that you will leave the official body and step into the ranks of craftsmen, since you are a craftsman, you must not discard the craftsmanship passed down by the ancestor in this life, and it has nothing to do with how much money you make, for a woman, it means that you will always have to work with your craft, teach your apprentices, and bear the responsibility of inheritance.

In today's climate, only the poor family allows women to show their heads, and I am afraid that no powerful or wealthy person will allow his daughter or woman to act in this way.

Shinong industry and commerce, under the strict hierarchy, what does this mean?

The silence in the hall fell, and all eyes looked at Gu Bainiang, shocked and unbelievable.

Liu Gong looked at Gu Bainiang, who was bowing down, his expression changed, and his hand unconsciously clenched his chopsticks.

"Eighteen Niang, do you know what you're talking about?" It seemed like a long time had passed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I do." Gu Banniang smiled, "I've been preparing for a long time." ”

Liu Gong looked at her and sighed.

"Girl, I know your heart, I understand it." He said, raising his hand and motioning for Gu Bainiang to get up.

Gu Banniang did not accept the gift according to her words, but knelt down with her clothes.

"No, I have so much more in mind than you know that I can't live without reciprocation." She looked up and said solemnly.

Without Liu Gong, she would not have come to this point, in the initial frightening moment, if it weren't for such an opportunity, I am afraid that they would have returned to their old lives.

Without Liu Gong, their family is afraid that they have returned to dust at this time, such a great kindness, how can she enjoy it calmly when she knows how important the title of master and apprentice is to the instructor?

At the beginning, he said that the apprentice was because of his own tricks and let Liu Gong into trouble, so he gave him all his guidance, and showed his body when he was questioned, presumably he did regard her as an apprentice and taught her, but because of his scruples, he couldn't bear her to become a craftsman and didn't mention it.

Her revenge will be avenged, and the grace of dripping water will also be repaid, not to mention such a monstrous grace.

"You may be unintentionally raising your hands, but for Eighteen Niang, there is no difference to the grace of gods and Buddhas to help each other and regenerate, and you don't repay your kindness, and you are a living soul in vain." Gu Banniang looked at him and said in a deep voice.

"Gu Eighteen Niang has no other things, her talent is reckless, and she worships the door, not to ask the master to teach her, but to fulfill the responsibility of a disciple....I Gu Eighteen Niang this... The world....once enmity and hatred are not divided into eyes and beads....fortunately, God blesses this adventure, if you can't be happy with enmity, heaven will not tolerate it"

She bowed her head and bowed, and the last few words were vague, but Liu Gong didn't listen to it.

Generation? Adventure? Do you mean to meet yourself?

Thinking of the encounter with the little girl, the corners of Liu Gong's mouth couldn't help but smile, which was indeed very strange.

"You... Is there really no other master? He couldn't help but ask.

If you have already apprenticed to the master, you can never worship others without the consent of the master.

It seems that this question has always existed for Liu Gong, Gu Bainiang couldn't help but smile, raised her head and nodded solemnly.

"Have you really figured it out? Eighteen Niang," Liu Gong looked at her and sighed, "Come to my door, it doesn't seem to be so beautiful, I am eighty-eight years old this year, Eighteen Niang, you still have a long way to go." ”

may be able to earn a lot of money, and may be able to win a lot of envy, but under the strict hierarchy, a woman's body has a long future, and the scenery is full of ravines.

"Master, is Eighteen Niang the kind of person who covets the name of scenery?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Banniang smiled.

Yes, the identity of Liu Gong's disciple is both an opportunity and a challenge, located at the pinnacle, you can enjoy the scenery that no one can see, but at the same time, it will also welcome the wind and frost that everyone can't meet.

But none of this was on her mind, and she was going to do it simply because it was worth it and had to be done.

What about craftsmen? Now even if she asks her to be a beggar, she believes that she can live well, my life is in my hands, as long as I have this belief, no matter what the situation is, I can stand still.

"Please also ask the master not to dislike the disciple to be reckless." She kowtowed again and spoke aloud.

Liu Gong looked at her, and his wrinkled old face couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Okay." He stood up, walked to the main seat, shook off his robe, and sat down.

This is the atmosphere in the hall that boils over.

Gu Bainiang got up and walked over and knelt down solemnly.

"The master is great, now there is Jiankang Gu's name Xiang, worship in Jinzhou Liu Bucai, teach medicine, since then, although the famous master and apprentice friendship with father and daughter, for the teacher, should know respect. The training is unforgettable. Love out of the heart, no regrets. There is no basis for empty words, and I would like to use this word to show solemnity. ”

The person who read out the apprenticeship post was a doctor of medicine invited by Gu Bainiang from the Jiankang Mansion, and the white-haired old man looked excited, and his hand holding the apprenticeship post kept shaking.

This is a major event in the pharmaceutical industry, and it is also a strange thing that has never been seen before, since ancient times, people have gone to high places, of course, there are many children of scholars who have given up learning to practice skills, or business or medicine, but most of them are men, and there are really no women who act like this.

The old man was thrilled to be alive to witness such a great event.

After reading out, Gu Banniang bowed three times, signed and pressed her handprint on the prayer post, the little girl handed over the tea, Gu Shibanniang held it, and Liu Gong took it.

Looking at the audience with different expressions, and then at the solemn Gu Banniang in front of him, Liu Gong only felt that his eyes had been dry for many years.

How could he not want to take in an apprentice, that person with a unique skill does not want his skills to be passed on?

He was looking for an apprentice who could pass on his skills all the time in his life, and he used all kinds of test and investigation methods, but in the end, it was all in vain, and he almost died......

Since then, he has been disheartened and incognito, he thought that the craftsmanship of the Liu family would stop in his life, this little girl surprised him when he first saw him, and he was puzzled when he saw him again, and he was very disappointed after understanding, but he was relieved when he was disappointed.

She is surrounded by fame, and she is poor and short of money, but she is not tempted, not afraid of threats, she acts calmly, she is clever and cunning, but she is frank and open, she is kind and gentle, but she is cold and hateful.

Originally, he gave the book as a gift to fulfill his promise, but after standing outside the door of Boholdo and seeing that play, he was tempted to be able to teach his skills to this person, even if he couldn't have the name of master and apprentice, what did it matter?

He really didn't expect that this little girl would really apprentice, such a solemn apprenticeship, announcing the apprenticeship of the world.

He raised his hand and drank the tea, blocking the tears that were about to fall.

Gu Bainiang kowtowed three times.

"Worship the ancestors, incense." The MD sang aloud.

With Liu Gong guiding Gu Bainiang to offer incense in front of the tablet of the ancestor Shennong Qibo, the apprenticeship ceremony ended.

"Eighteen Niang," Liu Gong stretched out his hand to stop everyone from rushing over, and looked at Gu Eighteen Niang, "Get the book." ”

Gu Bainiang was stunned for a moment, and reacted that what he said was Liu Gong's concoction of the seventeen methods, and she didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so she immediately asked the little guy Pegasus to fetch it.

Seeing that the little guy came in with a book that didn't look amazing, and other people were okay, President Huang's eyes couldn't help narrowing.

Sure enough, this book did sigh at him, Master Dong guessed the beginning correctly, not the ending, but he didn't expect the conditions they designed to have no effect on this little girl.

However, fortunately, it didn't work, otherwise, he would be as miserable as Baohetang now.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Gong had already taken the book.

"Eighteen Niang, are you familiar with this book?" He asked.

Reversing backwards, Gu Bainiang nodded.

"Fetch the brazier." He said.

Everyone didn't know his intentions, but it was a unique apprenticeship ceremony of his Liu family, but after seeing that the brazier was taken, Liu Gong raised his hand, threw the book in, and was immediately engulfed in flames.

There was an exclamation in the hall, and some people pounced, this is a peerless and unique book, this is a secret that is not passed on

"After you leave the school, you will write it yourself, and after you accept apprentices in the future, you will burn it again, Liu Gong's law, get it and the book, and take it off with the book, do you understand?" Liu Gong looked at Gu Bainiang and said in a deep voice.

This Liu Gong's method has been passed down from generation to generation, Gu Bainiang couldn't help biting her lower lip, from the moment of apprenticeship, Liu Gong's skills are all on one person, it is pressure and motivation.

"Disciple understands." Gu Banniang kowtowed.

Only then did a hint of relief appear on Liu Gong's face, and the whole person seemed to be a little tired, he leaned back in the chair and raised his hand to signal, "Get up." ”

The apprenticeship ceremony officially ended, and the hall resounded with a roaring sound of joy, and everyone was smiling.

"Young Master" Dayousheng Xinjia A shopkeeper was excited and pulled Xin Chaoyang's sleeve, "Young Master, let's..." We... One year ....."

One year, Liu Gong's disciple Pharmaceutical, Liu Gong Pharmaceutical, who has a clear identity, is exclusive for one year

Xin Chaoyang's eyes have been falling on the field, and with his self-cultivation, it is difficult to hide a trace of shock on his face at this time.

This is God bless me to have a great life, this is God to help me believe in the rising sun

"Gu Banniang apprenticed to the craftsman's business?"

The news quickly spread to the Gu family, and Gu Luo'er, who was making a wedding dress in the crowd of girls, widened her eyes in shock, and raised the needle in her hand for a long time.

"It's crazy... Gu Xi'er covered her mouth with a look of surprise.

If you want to say that she went to be a craftsman in the past, they wouldn't be so surprised, after all, her family is poor and can't make a living, but now it can be different, Gu Haizhong understands Yuan, and they have a pharmacy and a spice shop, so they can eat and drink for the future, so do this at this time?

Except for crazy, can't explain

This is really a crazy woman, everyone looks at each other, and they all see the fear in their eyes.

And Mrs. Shen, who was about to go out to meet several noble ladies, sat back in her chair in shock.

"This little slut is really... "Slut," she scolded heavily.

From a woman from a family to a craftsman, it takes a lot of courage, or rather, how stupid

It seems that this woman really does not plan to marry their family, nor does she plan to find a good family with the right family.

Was it just to escape the marriage contract with their Shen family?

"This girl of the Gu family, what kind of person is she, is she crazy?" Mrs. Shen San muttered to herself.

"Madam, shall we still go out?" The woman who was with her asked cautiously.

She was about to talk to a few noble ladies about this girl, and proposed to boycott Cao's two children, but she didn't expect the news of Gu Banniang to come.

"Forget it, you don't have to go." She waved her hand and leaned back in her chair with a bit of relief.
