For the time being, the official business here was handed over to others to deal with, and Gu Dan directly took Xun Ke back to the Gu family's courtyard.

Cang now replaces Xun Ke's previous position in the library pavilion, and often returns to live in the small courtyard for a while.

And Xiaoying is still here, but she has to go out to treat people on weekdays, and she prunes the flowers and plants in the courtyard as usual in her spare time, but there is no shortage of smoke.

In front of Xiao Ying's absence, Xun Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and under the pretext that he had official business to report to Wang Mang, he resigned first.

Gu Dan naturally understood this guy's careful thinking, just because he was afraid of embarrassment.

After all, there is such a thing as getting married, and it is not okay for one person to nod his head.

When it was getting late, Xiao Ying, who was dressed in white, returned to the courtyard with a medicine box, and saw at a glance the figure of cooking tea and chanting at the stone table under the willow tree.

An incomparably familiar scene came into view, Xiao Ying's face rose with a big smile, and she shouted happily: "Uncle Gu, you are back!" ”

"Hmm."

Gu Dan looked intently.

Xiao Ying is indeed not small.

Twenty-five years old, is the most youthful and beautiful age of women, the youth of the youth has not faded, mature charm has been stained with three points, the beautiful face rises sweet smile, dimples are intoxicating, the beautiful figure is slender and plump, proud and upright.

After the loss of her loved ones, the liveliness and agility on her body were buried for a long time, but the medicine of the years will eventually smooth out the past, and now Xiaoying has returned to the vitality of the past, and anyone who sees it has to praise a good beauty.

But what really stunned Gu Dan was not these.

The clothes on Xiao Ying's body. She was wearing a standard long skirt from the Tai Hospital, which was no different from Lin Xiaoyi at the beginning.

Coupled with the face that was so similar to Lin Xiaoyi, for a while, Gu Dan had the illusion that an old man had come from outside the door.

"Here, have a cup of tea."

Gu Dan was only stunned for a moment, then recovered and greeted casually.

"Okay."

Xiao Ying put down the medicine box with a smile, sat on the stone bench quite happily, took the slightly hot tea, and said to Gu Dan with a little pride: "Uncle Gu, I have passed the Tai Doctor assessment of the Tai Hospital!" ”

She waved her little fist excitedly, proudly looked up at her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were full of expectation, "I am now specially approved by the Tai Hospital, and I can travel the world to treat diseases and save people!" ”

"Good, good."

Gu Danlian said three good words.

Xiaoying's current medical attainments have surpassed Lin Xiaoyi's originality.

"Hey, hey."

Xiao Ying smiled happily with two small dimples, and couldn't wait to say: "I have also saved a lot of patients over the years!" Before"

Gossip, chatter.

The so-called parents are short like this, Xiaoying told about what she had experienced, the incurable diseases she encountered, and the life-saving help when she had a flash of inspiration.

In addition, most of them are ordinary things, but it is these ordinary things that are combined together to finally connect the whole person's life.

Gu Dan listened quietly, occasionally echoing twice to make an affirmation.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it seems that there are many things to say.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

"What's been said for so long?"

Noticing that the moonlight was quietly falling, Xiao Ying woke up from a big dream, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll go cook for Uncle Gu first." ”

"Don't, there's something I want to talk to you about too."

Gu Dan waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to worry.

"What?"

Xiao Ying was curious.

"Well, what do you think of Xun Ke?"

Gu Dan asked thoughtfully.

He is not very good at this kind of thing as a matchmaker, but fortunately they are very familiar with each other, and they don't have to beat around the bush.

"Xun Ke? He's in Yuzhou now, right? is a big official, which is very powerful. ”

Xiao Ying didn't figure out what it meant, so she said naturally.

"I mean, if Xun Ke wants to marry you, are you willing?"

Gu Dan can only speak bluntly.

"Huh?"

Xiao Ying's mouth opened wide, and her whole person froze there.

"I asked Xun Ke, he wants to marry you."

Gu Dan sold Xun Ke without hesitation, and then said after consideration: "If you have the idea of starting a family, you also know Xun Ke, and you know each other, so you should be regarded as a good person." Of course, if you don't want to, I didn't mention it.

If you meet other young talents you like or something, you can also tell me, as long as there is no problem with the character. ”

Gu Dan didn't want to take out the attitude of an elder to oppress people, even if Xiaoying was about to become an "old girl" at this age, she didn't say anything serious.

In the final analysis, marriage is actually a matter for two people, and it is really a matter of being with each other for a lifetime, and it can't be improvised.

He doesn't want to arrange his own life for his juniors, but he also wants to give reasonable advice from his elders at the right time.

"I'm him. This."

Xiao Ying was stunned for a long time, her eyes seemed a little evasive, and her ears were red.

"You don't want to?"

Gu Dan stood up, "It's okay, I'll tell him, anyway, he has to stay in Yuzhou most of the time, and it is impossible to disturb you, don't feel embarrassed." ”

Seeing that Gu Dan was about to walk to the door of the small courtyard, Xiao Ying finally shouted: "I, I, I am willing!" ”

When this sentence was shouted, Xiao Ying herself was stunned.

The whole face is like a red prawn.

The corners of Gu Dan's mouth also provoked a slight smile, and his voice was still Gujing Wubo: "Oh, then I'll go and inform him." ”

Ten years of the Xia Dynasty.

Xun Ke and Xiaoying got married.

Both parents are responsible for the care.

Xun Ke was sent by Moqiu to study with Gu Dan, although he studied under Moqiu, but Moqiu was not there at this time after all, so Gu Dan was naturally enough to be called Xun Ke's elder in the true sense.

And Xiao Ying naturally doesn't need to say much, she is the daughter of an old friend, and it is natural for him to be a witness for the two.

The place where the two got married was chosen in the small courtyard of the Gu family.

After fully considering the opinions of the two, the wedding process was simple.

Although it can't be regarded as growing up under the same roof, they have been together for many years, and they are actually very familiar.

Choosing to get married in the small courtyard of the Gu family, where the two have been together for the longest time, is probably also a kind of fate.

Cang excitedly wore red and green in the courtyard, eager to paste the word Xi all over the courtyard, and the courtyard door of the Gu family's courtyard had been changed several times, and finally there was more festivity.

There are not many people invited to this wedding, most of them are old acquaintances or neighbors for many years.

Wang Mang, Yu Lisheng, Gong Shangguo, Zou Dan, Zhuang Sheng. These people are here too.

There are not many people, but they are all very heavy.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the people here disappear, the entire Xia Dynasty will be in chaos.

On the day of the wedding, Xiao Ying, who was in the phoenix crown, was beautiful, and the handsome and elegant Xun Ke was also personable.

Talented and beautiful, talented and beautiful.

Receiving the toast from the two of them, Gu Dan admonished: "Support and understand each other. ”

The drink was gone, and it was like letting go of a worry while worrying.

He can also be regarded as having an explanation for Xu Zhian.

What Xu Zhian once pinned on him could not be completed, but the next generation of people he was also familiar with finally walked together.

When the slightly complicated wedding process was over, Gu Dan took out the Soul Breaker Burn brewed many years ago.

This thing is a medicinal wine that Xu Zhi'an once gave him, and it has a miraculous effect even for those who practice dirty martial arts.

After so many years of precipitation, it is also getting thicker, and when it is opened, the wine is eager to rise to the sky, and the ambition is fierce.

I still remember that when the altar was opened for the first time, Wang Mang was still a little guy, and he was about to get drunk just by smelling it.

Now it was Wang Mang who took the initiative to open it and changed the cup with everyone present, so it was not lively.

Three rounds of drinking.

Except for the bird Li Sheng and Gu Dan, everyone is already drunk.

For example, Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng were already lying on the table and falling asleep.

Of course, Xun Ke, the groom, also took care of it, but everyone was measured and did not be ruthless, and in its swaying, I don't know who pushed it into the new house.

"Brother Gu, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Wang Mang drank a lot, and was talking with his tongue wide at this time.

"What? I don't think the grandmaster is enough, and you want me to sit in the imperial capital for you? ”

On the big day, Gu Dan also made a joke.

"Where's the word!"

Wang Mang waved his hand again and again, "It's just that in this small courtyard, without you, it always feels wrong." ”

After all these years, they have almost become accustomed to being here all the time.

Even if Gu Dan doesn't do anything, just silently chanting and reading, it has its own power to make them feel at ease.

If you have to describe it concretely, it is "there are people at home", and the backer is still that kind of reassuring feeling.

"That's nice."

Gu Dan glanced at them, "It seems that you often have time to come and sit down." ”

Look at the people at this table.

Wang Mang, Emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

Bird Lisheng, the giant of the Mo family, the national teacher of the Xia Dynasty.

Gong Shang has passed, Shang Shu.

"It's a busy state affair."

He said this, and he had not rested for a long time.

At the beginning, the Xia Dynasty was short of manpower, and he, a scholar, was exhausted and didn't dare to rest for a day.

Now there is no shortage of officials, but things are not less than anything less.

But he didn't feel tired at all.

I saw with my own eyes how the Great Moon brought disaster to the people, and now I have the opportunity to stand up and shelter the people of the world, what complaints do I have?

If there is a workaholic in this group of people, I'm afraid that the bird will have to go a little later, and Gong Shangguo is the one who really works hard, working hard to the point of selflessness, let alone taking time to get together.

"The Mo family is also very busy."

When Yu Lisheng heard this, he also nodded and agreed.

Whether it is as a giant of the Mo family or as the national teacher of the Xia Dynasty, although he almost does not interfere in the affairs of the temple, he also needs to be in charge of nearly 10,000 ink masters.

Yes, ten years have passed, and there are only nearly 10,000 ink writers!

This Mo family giant has no lower requirements for ink than Mo Qiu, and even more stringent.

The four words "rather lack than indiscriminate" have almost reached an extreme.

Even if everyone in the world at this time admires the righteousness of the Mo family, and even there are many talented people who want to join the Mo family, Yu Lisheng still has his attitude, and there has never been the slightest change.

"With two of them working so hard, it seems that I am idle."

Wang Mang laughed.

Over the years, the offerings of various countries to the Xia Dynasty have stopped.

It's not that they dare to break the contract, but that the number of years agreed with Gu Dan has arrived.

After that, Xia Chao needs to go by himself, and it is impossible to survive on the support of other countries.

In these years, Wang Mang's main thing to do is to clean up and rectify the rich families, especially those who are powerful and powerful.

I don't know how many people are ruined!

Even when the means were compared to Emperor Zongming, they were not far behind.

But for the people, Wang Mang has done little except for the reform of taxes and forced labor.

Under the circumstance that the temple controls the general direction, for the people, the Xia Dynasty actually chose to "rule by inaction".

What is needed in this war-torn land is not immediate and drastic reforms, but the use of time to heal the pain and twists and turns.

Ten years have passed, and the Xia Dynasty has swept away the gloom and gloom at the beginning, and the people have become obviously rich.

Even if Wang Mang's reputation is still not very popular, the wallets of the people who have become rich cannot be faked.

The most critical thing is that at this time, the countries are experiencing an unprecedented boom in commerce.

Today's caravans of business travelers to and from various countries are rare in thousands of years.

Since the army that was originally standing in the border pass is of little use for the time being, it must play some role, right?

It is better to sweep the robbers in the mountains and forests to protect the trade routes.

With security on the road, countries began to communicate with each other in a real sense, money flowed, goods were abundant, and it was only natural that life became richer.

And the state can also extract sufficient tax revenue from business travel, and no longer has to focus on the toiling masses who have little oil and water.

At least, at this time, no one dares to say the phrase "suffer the people again".

Although the Xia Dynasty has only been established for ten years, it has a vague attitude of hegemony, and some young talents often sent by various countries to come over to learn and understand the spirit of the Mo family.

Regardless of whether they believe it or not, there is no doubt that the people of all countries are living much better now than before.

Now that everyone has begun to give full play to their talents, it is naturally impossible to stay in the Gu family's small courtyard for several years like before, and there is very little time to even find time to get together.

On the contrary, it is to take care of this unemployed vagrant, and sometimes it will seem that he has nothing to do.

"Busy, busy, busy."

Gu Dan glared at them, poured himself a cup of Soul Breaker Burn, and drank it all.

The extremely hot liquor fell into the throat, as if it was about to burn the heart and lungs, and with the liquor into the stomach, the body seemed to be a little warmer, and the body and mind were comfortable.

Slightly drunk eyes looked at everything around him, looked at the familiar faces talking and laughing, and listened to the endless movement of pedestrians outside the door, Gu Dan rarely showed a happy smile on his face.

I promise the world that my life will be peaceful.
