Chapter 101: Spring Comes
Chapter 101: Spring is coming
The matter ended with the appearance of Liu Gong, and everything returned to calm, as if the events of that day had never happened, but the atmosphere of the entire Jiankang medicine store was extremely excited, and the news spread throughout the Great Zhou.
Liu Gong, who has disappeared for ten years, has reappeared in the world, which is indeed a big event.
Time passed imperceptibly, the remnant of winter receded, the early spring came slowly with a drizzle, and the whole Jiankang City was shrouded in a freshness.
"I'm sorry, I don't have Gu Niangzi's medicine today."
Lingbao in the lobby smiled, repeating this sentence, and the shelves were empty.
"Gone again?" Seven or eight people looked annoyed, "I have to come early tomorrow..."
Everyone dispersed, and Lingbao walked to the door with a sign that read "medicine sold out" and tiptoed to hang it up.
A pair of hands reached over and hung it for her.
Lingbao turned around, and the dark blue figure had already stepped into the hall.
"Young Master, why are you here?" Lingbao followed in with a smile, stretched out his hand to take the cloak that Gu Hai had untied, it was already wet with rain, and he hurriedly shook it to dry.
"Walking in the rain with a few fellow doors, just passing by." Gu Hai smiled, he glanced at the room, and saw that it was deserted, but the smile on his face was undiminished, "Uncle Peng is out for a consultation?" ”
Lingbao brought him tea and nodded.
Since Liu Gong came back, Gu Bainiang has become even busier, almost day and night in the concocting of medicinal materials, knowing the rules of the concoction master, outsiders can not enter the back hall without permission, so Gu Hai only sat in the front hall and talked to Lingbao.
Hoofs clatter
The sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the door with the creaking of the carriage, and with a crisp ringing sound, a green figure rushed in, and a little girl behind him chased after him with an umbrella, and there was a faint aroma in the lobby.
"Huh? Why are you so lonely, people? Where have all the people gone? A delicate girl's voice rang out.
Lingbao and Gu Hai stopped talking and looked at the comer.
This is a young woman in her teens, and she is very surprised, she is still familiar, Gu Hai frowned slightly, he sat on the chair and did not get up.
"This young lady, is it to grab medicine or to ask for a doctor..."Lingbao hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a smile.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was glared at by the girl.
"Where did you come from? How do you invite a little girl to the store? The young woman frowned, her eyes fell on Gu Hai on the side, and after being stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed, "I seem to have seen you somewhere..."
She tilted her head and frowned at the willow eyebrows, looking particularly coquettish.
"The medicine is sold out, the doctor is not here, Miss, please come back tomorrow." Gu Hai put down the teacup and said lightly.
"You're human?" The young woman pursed her lips and glanced at the counter, and sure enough, she couldn't help but be surprised to see that it was empty.
"This... This.." She took a few steps over to confirm, and her willow eyebrows couldn't help but stand upside down, "What about Shopkeeper Wu?" What's going on? ”
Lingbao looked puzzled, "Miss, we don't have a shopkeeper surnamed Wu here, did you make a mistake?" ”
The young woman snorted, turned her head and glared at Lingbao, "I made a mistake?" Can I go wrong in my own pharmacy? ”
"Your home?" Gu Hai said lightly, looking at it with a flirtatious eye, "Dare to ask Miss's surname?" ”
The young woman was stunned by his glance, the young man in front of him was slender, free and easy, and modest, but how could this look .....
"Oh, I remember" she suddenly, took a few steps closer, and looked at Gu Hai, "Aren't you the ..... the disciple?"
Anyway, the apricot eyes are round, this disciple came to his own pharmacy to do it? Could it be that he came to find out his whereabouts? The thought flashed, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"You're coming to our shop to do it? Are you human? She asked, a little weaker.
Gu Hai smiled and looked at the woman.
"Miss's surname is Shen?" He slowly spit out this word, only to feel that his teeth were cold, such a high-flying and domineering woman is the daughter of the Shen family, and the daughter of the inner house is still raised like this, it can be seen that the Shen family is all people, and the situation of the sister in that life can be imagined.
"You.. You disciple..."Miss Shen's face suddenly turned even redder, and her heart was pounding somehow.
"Go out" Gu Hai's expression froze and he shouted in a low voice.
Miss Shen and the girl were stunned.
"You say?" The little girl came back to her senses and immediately crossed her waist and shouted, "Do you know who this is?" How do you speak? You get out of here, this is our house..."
"Your home?" Gu Hai smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed out, "Go out and have a look, see it clearly." ”
His expression was lukewarm, it didn't look like a joke, although Miss Shen was a bit domineering, but she was not brainless, and she had vaguely guessed that something might have happened in her mind.
Miss Uchitaku didn't know anything about the family, especially these property changes, and she vaguely remembered hearing her mother say that there were a few shops that were not doing well, and it was just a waste of rice money to keep them, so it was better to sell them.....
It wouldn't be such a coincidence, she was invited to play with someone today, and she promised to give people a box of sobering pills, so she came over to get it......
"Miss...", the little girl tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Miss Shen bit her lip and glanced at the young man, turned around and went out, not holding an umbrella, but looking up with her hand.
"Hmph, isn't this still Shunhetang......" she said indignantly, "Huh? How...? ”
The words came to an abrupt end.
Then there was a crisp ringing sound, small footsteps got on the car and left, the horses chirped a few times, and silence returned to the door.
Lingbao ran to the door and looked at it, only then turned around, and saw Gu Hai sitting there still, but with a solemn expression.
"Young Master," she asked curiously, "is that the young lady of the Shen family?" ”
Gu Hai came back to his senses, and before he could answer, he heard Gu Eighteen Niang inside: "Who?" ”
The two turned their heads and saw Gu Bainiang walking out, holding a small dustpan in her hand.
Lingbao hurriedly took a few steps over and took it.
"Why is my brother here?" Gu Banniang said with a smile.
Gu Hai stretched out his hand to wipe a bit of ash from her forehead, and said with a smile: "What? Your pharmacy brother can't come? ”
Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother will laugh." ”
"Liu Gong, is he an old man? I'm going to see you. Gu Hai asked, dressed neatly.
"No, he went out again and came back every three or five days." Gu Bainiang replied, looking at the Lingbao medicine, she remembered and asked, "Who did you just say?" The young lady of the Shen family? ”
Lingbao was about to speak, but Gu Hai had already answered first.
"We're talking about the young lady of who's family...."Gu Hai said with a smile, shaking his hand behind him at Lingbao on the counter.
Although Lingbao was surprised in his heart, he still smiled and nodded.
"It's okay to be idle, say that the lady does it?" Gu Banniang looked at Gu Hai with a bit of banter, pursed her lips and nodded, "Oh, these days, there are many ladies and wives in our family, and they seem to be talking about other people's young ladies..."
Gu Hai smiled and did not answer.
Since the township test, the first name Xie Yuan Gu Hai has become a hot topic in Jiankang City, and at the same time, there are more people in the family who say they are relatives.
Gu Hai is sixteen years old this year, and it is time to get married at this age, in the past, their family was deserted and no one inquired, which gave the Cao family a headache, but now it is full of visitors, which also gives her a headache, listening to the young ladies mentioned by those ladies, they all feel good, and they don't know which one to choose.
asked Gu Hai, Gu Hai only said that he would talk about it after the big exam.
"The young master is going to say kiss?" Lingbao asked with a smile, "Is it possible to eat the young master's wedding wine during the New Year?" ”
Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled, Gu Hai coughed, said I will go first, took the cloak and strode away.
"The young master is shy." Lingbao laughed.
Gu Bainiang glanced at her head, "How old is Lingbao this year?" ”
"I'm about to be thirteen years old..."Lingbao replied casually, as soon as the words came out, he noticed it, and immediately blushed, and stomped his feet shyly, "Miss, bully"
Gu Banniang smiled, "This is a bully, speaking of which, Lingyuan is not small..., Lingbao, you say it's good to find a decent person?" ”
Lingbao's round face was crimson, but when he didn't hear it, Gu Bainiang sat down on the side, as if she was really thinking.
"Miss.." Lingbao hesitated, plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice, "Miss wants to find a kind of person?" ”
Gu Bainiang came back to her senses, smiled, and shook her head.
There was some amazement in her expression, although she was reborn, her soul was already an abandoned woman, and she was married......
She smiled with a bit of sarcasm, and didn't speak, where did she have that idleness.
"Miss is an official eunuch, and she will definitely find an aunt from a wealthy family in the future... Wear a red robe and be a big official....." Lingbao smiled with a bit of reverence.
"Not necessarily." Gu Bainiang smiled casually.
She is not a cardamom girl now, and she has a sacred shyness about the event of getting married, and talking about it is no different from talking about the weather.
"That must be the right thing to do..."Lingbao said, with a bit of amazement in his tone.
In short, it won't be someone like my brother......
Thinking of this, she sighed softly.
Gu Bainiang didn't notice it, her hand stroked her chin, looking at the rain outside the door and thinking intently.
Baohetang has withdrawn from Jiankang, as she expected, it is Dayousheng who swallowed the big meat of Baohetang, Xin Chaoyang and his father officially came to visit her, of course, Gu Bainiang understood that they were actually visiting Liu Gong behind her.
Believe in the person of Chaoyang......
The room was quiet, except for the sound of rain outside.
Dayousheng wanted a batch of Zijin Pill, and he readily agreed, which was a reward for the day when Xin Chaoyang showed off in the forest.
She Gu Eighteen Niang has clear grievances, and if there is revenge, she will repay and repay her kindness.
"Where's Lingyuan?" Gu Bainiang came back to her senses, looked at Lingbao, and saw her holding her head in front of the counter with her hands in shock, this girl has always looked smiling since she followed her, and she has never seen such a girl's sad expression.
"What's wrong?" Gu Banniang couldn't help but laugh, "What do you think?" ”
Lingbao came back to his senses and saw a girl sitting upright on the side, wearing a goose yellow round-necked robe, jet-black and high-end, smiling delicately, bright and glamorous.
"Nope." She hurriedly lowered her head and replied.
"Ling Yuan has come back?" Gu Bainiang asked.
"Not yet." Lingbao replied, while walking to the door and looking out, there was a faint figure of people and horses shuttling in the rain, and there was no trace of his brother, "I should be back soon, right?" There are no mistakes, there are many words, Brother Baozhu, they went together, and those medicinal materials can be pulled back together. ”
At this time, two large horses were traveling in the rain, and Ling Yuan was sitting on the carriage wearing a robe, and beside him were three stout men, one of whom was whipping the horse.
"Your young lady is so generous, she gave you so much money to buy medicinal herbs, and gave our brother a hard fee..."A big man hugged Ling Yuan's shoulder and smiled, "You kid is really lucky to meet such a good master." ”
Ling Yuan's expression did not move, and he didn't seem to hear him speak.
"This counts, there is also a Xie Yuan Gong in the family, and he must be a high-ranking official in the future....." The other sighed, "Lingyuan, in the future, people will definitely hire a lot of envoys, do you remember our brothers......"
"That's right, in the future, if you follow the champion Gong, even if you drive the carriage, you will have enough face..."
The more everyone talked, the happier they became, and they seemed to have stood in front of and behind the luxurious carriage of the champion with a shy, accepting the envious gaze of passers-by.
"It's a good day, I'll send the medicine back later, let's go gamble..."
"I'm just lucky in this paragraph, the last ten taels of silver has become a hundred taels, I estimate that if I play a few more, I can buy a small yard to beg for a daughter-in-law..."
The big men talked excitedly and wiped the rain from their faces.
"Lingyuan, are you going?" Someone greeted Ling Yuan, who had been sitting silently, and pushed him, "You kid stay in the store all day long?" Why don't you come out and have fun..."
Lingyuan still didn't move.
"Hey, your young lady is really handsome, what do you say? Beauty can be eaten as a meal...... Oops..."
Before the big man could finish his sentence, the whole person fell from the car, splashing a cloud of muddy water, and the car erupted in laughter.
"You kid deserve it"
"Gu Niangzi is Lingyuan's life-saving benefactor, you should be your good friend in the black-headed alley, you can say whatever you want....."
The big man was covered in muddy water, rubbed his legs and followed, staggered into the car, and sighed in his mouth.
"I'm praising Gu Niang..... but I don't have any other thoughts......" He hurriedly defended and smiled at Ling Yuan, "... Lingyuan, you're too ruthless to do this......"
Ling Yuan snorted and glanced at him.
"Is this still ruthless? People are Miss Qianjin, do you know that she is called Miss Qianjin? It's not something that we people can talk about...... "The big man who drove the car laughed, "You forgot that a few years ago, there was an idler who looked at a young lady a few more times, and was blinded....kicking you is light...."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong... I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore..."The big man laughed.
In the noisy laughter, Lingyuan's expression became darker and darker, he took off his hat, raised his head to the sky, and the rain was blowing in his face.
When the group arrived at Shunhe Hall, Lingbao boiled ginger soup and handed it to them one by one.
"Thank you, Sister Lingbao.." The big men laughed and thanked them.
"Miss went back?" Ling Yuan didn't see the familiar figure in the backyard, so he couldn't help but ask.
Lingbao nodded, "Madame asked the young lady to come and ask the young lady to go back." She sighed, "Don't know? ”
"It's not your business." Ling Yuan glanced at her and said.
"That brother has some heart, and he should accept it." Lingbao turned his head to look at him and whispered.
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, put down the bowl and turned to leave.
"Brother, where are you going?" Lingbao hurriedly asked.
The three big men had already walked out laughing, discussing whether to eat and drink or gamble first, when Ling Yuan hesitated for a moment and followed them.
"Come back early." Lingbao chased them to the door and watched them walk into the rain and mist.
Gu Bainiang was called back by the Cao family, thinking that there was a big event, but she saw the two Buddhist posts handed by the Cao family.
"What is this?" She picked it up and opened it to see.
"This is a post from Master Ran for a scripture lesson..."Cao Shi looked at her cautiously and said, "Mother wants you to accompany me...."
Gu Bainiang looked at the few words on the post, and her expression was gloomy.
"If you're busy, it's okay if you don't go, I'll go by myself..."Cao Shi said busily again.
"Mother, I'll go." Gu Bainiang raised her head and interrupted her and smiled.
