Seeing Gu Ba Niang get back a few hundred dollars, Cao Shi was startled, Gu Ba Niang briefly explained the original story of the matter, and Cao Shi listened to it for a long time without speaking.

"Eighteen Niang, you kid...."After a long time, Cao Shi sighed and said, stretched out his hand to stroke Gu Eighteen Niang's head and stopped, and felt a little strange in his heart, why did this child's temper suddenly become so stubborn and aggressive?

Gu Bainiang knew that she meant that she should endure it, and she should not offend the shopkeeper Zhou all of a sudden, and cut off her livelihood in the future for the sake of these hundreds of dollars.

"Mother, I endure this breath today, and I will have to endure countless anger in the future, this kind of person is a villain who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and I can't follow him for this kind of villain, I just let him know, I know the little Jiujiu in his heart, and I'm not afraid of him." Gu Banniang said.

"Eighteen Niang, let's... It's inevitable to be looked down upon, you can't..."Cao sighed and smiled bitterly.

Gu Bainiang pursed her mouth tightly, "It's okay to look down, but this is not a reason why they can point at our faces and insult us!" ”

Her hand clenched, "Mother, don't worry, isn't it just a deal that can't be done, and there are more deals that Shopkeeper Zhou can't do, for businessmen, this is a common thing, he won't become an enemy with me, at most, everyone no longer deals with each other, it's no loss to him, for me, it was originally a little bit, but now it's nothing....."

She smiled and told Peng Yizhen about it.

"I know this Peng Yipin..." Cao said, "Your father always had a sore arm when he was affected by the wind a few years ago, so he invited him..."

"Daddy came to see him?" Gu Bainiang was very surprised, she didn't have any impression at all, but it was normal to have no impression, she used to live in a mess every day, like a wooden man, where was there any impression.

"It's not him" Cao Shi smiled, "It's his father, listening to your age, now Peng Yizhen has been taken over by him." ”

It turned out that this Peng Yizhen was a signboard, Gu Bainiang suddenly wanted to laugh, she thought that maybe the name hung on the medicine hall of Peng Yizhen's house was also the three words Peng Yizhen.

"The family is kind." Cao was a little relieved.

Gu Bainiang also nodded, "Then I'll go up the mountain, collect more medicine, and send it over as soon as possible." ”

Cao nodded, and stroked his daughter's hanging hair in distress.

After digging half a basket of Yuanzhi and some windproof, Gu Bainiang sat on the rock, frowned slightly, looked down at her back basket, and had a vague thought in her heart.

Is she going to make a living by collecting or selling herbs? At least for now, they have no other means of making a living, Gu Hai has to face three exams before he can get ahead, and no one can say for sure how long these three exams will last, some people will do it in one go in three years, and some people will waste half their lives for the rest of their lives, such as her father.

With the current rough skills alone, their lives are still not guaranteed, Gu Bainiang pursed her lips, after all, she recognized the medicinal materials halfway, and quickly dropped them, if she really relied on this craft to survive, she needed to learn, she didn't recognize many medicinal materials now, and even fewer could concoct them.

"It's good to find some books to read, the best one is the Shen family's book....." She muttered to herself.

"Sister," Gu Hai's voice came back to him.

Gu Bainiang turned her head and watched Gu Hai stride over, not knowing if it was because she was in a hurry or something else, her face was flushed.

"What book do you want to read?" He took her words and asked, with some self-reproach on his face, his sister likes to read, "The family sells a lot of books...."

Gu Bainiang shook her head, now they are not people who have spare money to buy books, "I think of a medicinal herb book that I read before, nothing... Brother, what's the happy event? ”

She looked at Gu Hai and saw the joy on the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, this kind of smile that couldn't be hidden had not been seen on this young man's face for a long time, since his father died in that life, this young man was burdened with the pressure of not being with his age, and he no longer had the vitality of his peers until he died.

Gu Hai smiled when he heard this, "Today, Mr. let me enter the Ming Hall." ”

Gu Banniang was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really? ”

The school of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally has three grades, namely Meng Qiming's third class, Meng is a beginner's school, Qi is Gu Hai's students who have not participated in the county examination for a period of time, and Ming is the students who have participated in the county examination and those who have waited for the government examination, of course, including the students selected by Mr. who think they can further accept their knowledge, and the students are proud of it, not to mention that Gu Hai is about to face the county examination, and it is really a great joy to enter the Ming Hall at this time.

"Brother..."Gu Bainiang couldn't help crying with joy and held Gu Hai's hand tightly.

Gu Hai couldn't help the redness of his eyes, and stroked his sister's head, "It's just that in the future, there will be more homework, and there will be less time to help my sister collect medicine....let my sister and mother suffer.."

"What are you talking about!" Gu Banniang wiped away her tears, "My brother studied hard, not for my mother and me. ”

Only by studying and entering the profession can you live a good life, so that those people no longer look down on them, and let your mother and sister live like those ladies and ladies in the clan, no, a better life than those in the Gu family.

Gu Hai clenched his fists and nodded and smiled firmly at his sister.

"Let's go, this is a big happy event, go and tell my mother." Gu Bainiang grabbed the basket and pulled Gu Hai down the mountain.

Passing by the school, before it was time for dinner, some boarding students walked out of the school and scattered, or reading books or laughing, among these people, a young student stood alone under a green bamboo, looking particularly unsociable.

"That's Senior Brother Cai." Gu Hai saw it and couldn't help but slow down.

The last time, thanks to his delivery, Gu Hai passed the test of Mr., and Gu Bainiang also stopped.

"Let's go thank him." She proposed.

Gu Hai also admires this Senior Brother Cai, especially when he studies with him in the future, he is a little happy.

So the brother and sister got dressed and approached him.

"Senior Brother Cai."

Cai Wen was looking at the swaying bamboo leaves and didn't know what he was thinking, few people took the initiative to greet him like this, and turned around a little unexpectedly and saw the two brothers and sisters in front of him.

"Yes." He replied lightly.

"Last time, thank you Brother Cai." Gu Hai said, while saluting Gu Banniang.

Cai Wen's expression was still the same, and he said lightly: "I don't dare to thank you for the hard work." ”

Gu Hai saluted again, and was about to say goodbye, but saw Gu Bainiang staring at Cai Wen's face with a strange expression.

Cai Wen also noticed this gaze, and his face was slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't speak.

As a man, he doesn't pay attention to appearance, and he only tidies up his clothes when he looks in the mirror, and he never pays attention to his appearance, but from the evasive and whispering attitude of the maids next to him and the boudoir ladies he occasionally meets, he also knows that he should be called good.

But there's really no girl staring at herself so bluntly.

Gu Hai was a little surprised in his heart, his sister was not such a rude person, so he was about to reach out and quietly pull the corner of her clothes, when he saw Gu Bainiang suddenly step forward and stand in front of Cai Wen.
