"Qiuqiu?" The princess stood at the door and knocked on the door.

Gu Yunqiu got up uneasily, "A-Niang has something to look for me?" ”

The princess nodded and brought a snack made of lotus leaves, "It's just sent from the palace, it's inconvenient for me and my grandmothers, Qiuqiu helped me send it to Master Yuankong." ”

Gu Yunqiu nodded and took the food box, but only after bypassing the bamboo forest at the door, there was a snapping sound under the red wall.

Gu Yunqiu followed the prestige and found that it was four or five small people scolding and scolding around the individual: "Do you dare to quibble?!" Don't look at what you are! How can there be such a good gold sore medicine?! ”

"This, this is, this is mine."

"Yours? Do you call it a name? It's obviously the one who steals Brother Shun, and he dares to be hard-mouthed! ”

Gu Yunqiu frowned: What...... Brother Shun again?

"It's me, mine! I didn't, I didn't steal! Give it back! ”

Gu Yunqiu held his breath and stood quietly behind the bamboo forest, and found that Brother Shun actually took the lead in surrounding a boy who looked like a handyman under the red wall, the boy was not tall, his body was thin, and his face happened to be blocked by Brother Shun.

He reached out to grab the medicine bottle, but was kicked to the ground by Brother Shun.

"You still dare to do it with me?!" Brother Shun snorted, raised his foot and kicked the little handyman in the stomach, "Cheap seed, what are you?!" How dare you steal me?! ”

He used his hands and feet at the same time, and after a few heavy punches, he was still angry, and then he picked up a broom standing at the base of the wall, picked up the long stick, and whipped it at the back of the little handyman.

The little handyman was beaten to the ground and rolled over and over, but he still insisted that the medicine was his.

Brother Shun was so angry that he turned his head and scolded: "Why are you still stunned?!" Give it all to Lao Tzu! Kill this little bastard! ”

The little guys looked at each other, and finally they were forced to surround him by his obscenity.

At this moment, Gu Yunqiu saw the face of the little handyman who fell to the ground clearly, and saw his stubborn eyes.

Those eyes!

Gu Yunqiu was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Stop it!" ”

It's those eyes!

It was he who blocked the door of Ning Xintang, looked at him, and asked him to run quickly.

And Gu Yunqiu only realized at this time that the little handyman was a little stuttering when he spoke just now.

The little servants were stunned by him, and when they turned around, they still tacitly stood in a row to block the miscellaneous servants.

Brother Shun will come to something, and he stepped forward to help Gu Yunqiu get the food box: "Father-in-law, son-in-law, why are you here?" Is this going to be sent out, I ......?"

Gu Yunqiu retracted his hand, didn't answer his words, and only raised his chin, "What's going on?" ”

"Whew...... Just a little thief, he stole Brother Shun's things. A guy next to him replied in a funny way, but he was inexplicably slapped by Brother Shun, "Childe, don't listen to Xiao Wu's nonsense, it's not stealing, it's looking like, so ask." ”

"Looks like?"

Brother Shun smiled and explained, "Isn't it, childe, have you forgotten?" You rewarded me with a bottle of gold sore medicine ...... ago."

Gu Yunqiu pointed to the broom and interrupted him with a cold voice, "This is a question?!" ”

This time, several other little guys also felt the taste, and turned around to help the handyman, presumably saying that they were in a hurry and had no weight in their hands, not intentionally.

Gu Yunqiu followed their movements, only glanced at Brother Shun from the bottom to the top, and coldly threw out a "heh".

Brother Shun shivered, and suddenly sweated.

Gu Yunqiu pushed aside the crowd and personally went to help the handyman.

The little handyman was thin and small, his hands were rough, his eyes were big, and his eyes were very clear, although he bared his teeth in pain, but he still remembered the rules, and saluted first and called "Childe".

Gu Yunqiu stared at him for a while, with a thousand tastes in his heart, and finally turned around: "...... What about medicine? ”

He was so excited that his voice was hoarse.

Brother Shun frowned, and offered it with both hands, "Here, Childe." ”

Gu Yunqiu took it and looked at it carefully, then turned around and asked the little handyman, "You said that this medicine is yours, what is the evidence?" ”

The little handyman was broken at the corner of his mouth, and hissed when he spoke, he licked his lips and said slowly that the medicine was bought by him at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Bureau, and he was going to give it to his uncle, but the other party didn't want it, so he took it up the mountain.

The medicine bottle is a white porcelain thin-necked gallbladder bottle, the bottle has a red-crowned crane painted by the pharmacy, and the small round bead with a red rope tied to the top stopper is loose, and he comes back to make up for it with a white thread, and there is a gap at the bottom of the bottle, which is not very stable.

"I bought it for three months after I saved it, and the guys at the pharmacy can prove it."

Gu Yunqiu nodded, and looked at Brother Shun again, "What about you?" ”

Gold sore medicine is not cheap, but it is not expensive.

For handymen, it takes three or four months to save money to buy it, but for a small guy like Brother Shun who earns one or two a month, it is dispensable.

He didn't find it today, but he happened to see the handyman take out a bottle, so he subconsciously thought that he was reaching out and grabbing it, but he didn't think that this little handyman was so stubborn that he didn't give it to him.

got up and ran under the red wall, but I didn't expect to be caught by Gu Yunqiu again.

Brother Shun trembled, stood for a long time, and said: "I ......"

Gu Yunqiu's face was cold, "Brother Shun, you have been on an errand with me for a year or two, I don't care how you do things on weekdays, but this is back in Baoguo Temple-"

"You used your power to bully the little novice in the temple first, and you didn't have a long memory of being scolded and beaten by your mother, and now you are insulting and beating the miscellaneous servants in the house, isn't it that when I don't know, you can do more evil things?"

"Childe, I didn't ......" Brother Shun's face changed, and the other little guys also panicked and knelt down.

"That's enough, needless to say, I don't want to listen to your quibbles a second time," Gu Yunqiu interrupted him impatiently, "According to the rules of the mansion, I will make it clear to the mother concubine, let your father take you back, fine, beat the board or send the outer village to the northwest, and the chief steward of the free mansion decides." ”

"As for a few of you—" Gu Yunqiu glanced at Brother Shun's little attendant, "Send it back to the house as well!" ”

Brother Shun sat down on the ground, his face pale and full of disbelief.

Gu Yunqiu didn't look at him anymore, and only pulled up the handyman and returned to the small courtyard.

When they walked away, the little guys came to help Brother Shun with sad faces, "Brother, what should I do, Childe, Childe, he won't really betray us......"

A few of them couldn't hold their breath and already cried, "The life of that Waizhuang is not a human life, brother, doing so much work every day, we will be beaten to death!" Sell to the northwest more, more ......"

Brother Shun was so crying by them that he couldn't help but shout: "Shut up for me!" ”

He gritted his teeth, his eyes gloomy in the direction Gu Yunqiu left-

He suddenly remembered that the prince had asked him to find a little stammer.

○○○

After this incident, Master Yuankong couldn't go there, and Gu Yunqiu went directly back to the small courtyard to find the princess.

"Ah Niang—" Gu Yunqiu called out in a long voice.

"Come back to ...... so soon" The princess looked up and unexpectedly saw Gu Yunqiu pulling a boy who was in embarrassment, "This is ——? ”

"Auntie, I want him to be my little servant!"

The princess was stunned, and the handyman was dumbfounded.

The princess thought to herself how this child thought that it was a play, but she still smiled and asked the reason.

Gu Yunqiu couldn't talk about his previous life, so he only squatted down and lay on the princess's knees, explaining what had just happened, and then he hugged the princess's legs and dragged out:

"Let him be my little servant, please Auntie!"

Princess Ning touched his head and didn't speak.

Gu Yunqiu made persistent efforts, and her voice was sweet, "A-Niang should answer me, as long as A-Niang agrees, I will study and practice calligraphy hard, and I will not be angry with the masters in the future." ”

Master Wang is a famous teacher of Qingyang Academy, and was hired by King Ning to teach Gu Yunqiu to read.

Princess Ning's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly rubbed Gu Yunqiu's cheek with the back of her hand, "Little flower cat, your face is full of mud, go wash it with Mama first." ”

Gu Yunqiu sighed and believed it, and was obediently taken away, only the handyman kneeling on the ground was strange-Gongzi obviously had nothing on his face.

Waiting for Gu Yunqiu to walk away, Princess Ning let him get up and asked his name in a warm voice.

The handyman was a little nervous and stumbled to answer slowly.

He is from Tianjia Village, Weizhou, northwest China, and is called Gouwa, 12 years old.

Eight or nine years ago, there was a plague in the village, and only three-year-old him and the young man next door to his house survived, and the young man joined the northwest camp and took him with him to raise him.

Later, when he grew up, the young trustee found him a job as a handyman, and he was only bought into the palace a few years ago, as the grandmothers around the princess can prove:

"It's a solid-eyed child, madam, you can rest assured."

"Really?" The princess smiled, although this child didn't look as smart as Brother Shun, but he was honest and honest, and he didn't have any bad intentions, she asked a few more words, "Are you literate, have you ever read?" ”

The dog shook her head.

Reading and literacy is too expensive, Uncle Jiang has already worried a lot about him, and it is good enough for him to have an errand and a full meal, and he doesn't dare to ask for so much.

Thinking of this, the dog baby knelt down and kowtowed to the princess again, "The little man has no knowledge, yes, he is a rough man, he is still a handyman, he is a small servant, I am afraid, I am afraid that it is not good to serve the son of the world with clumsy hands......"

The princess looked at him: this child is sincere.

"Tell me, what is the root of being a servant?"

The dog baby knelt on the ground and thought about it, and replied seriously: "Yes, loyalty." ”

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to find a loyal servant.

The princess exchanged glances with the grandmother next to her and smiled, "Okay, since Qiuqiu takes a fancy to you, you can serve you well." ”

The dog baby was stunned, and never thought that the princess would agree.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, then threw down Shane, his head banging.

The princess hurriedly helped him up, "Okay, okay, let's go wash with Mama." ”

Gu Yunqiu came back to know the result, and pounced on the concubine and thanked him, "I know that A-Niang is the best!" ”

However, the princess asked about the original few little guys, Gu Yunqiu shook her head, "Deal with it." ”

The princess knew this: she didn't like Brother Shun for a long time, but she was afraid that her son would be unhappy. Now that Gu Yunqiu has said so, she is naturally happy to send them away.

And so, half a moment later—

A few of the little guys who bullied the dog baby just now were beaten in the small courtyard and sent to the outer village-

Brother Shun was taken away by the second steward, and he was no longer allowed to work in the house.

The two stewards were also implicated, fined half a year, seized most of the power, transferred out of the palace's account room, and let him go home to teach his son first.

As for how the second door steward dealt with Brother Shun, it was not Gu Yunqiu's interest, he only happily pulled the newly acquired little miscellaneous ...... No, the little guy went back to the house.

After entering the house, he endured it, but he still couldn't help but ask:

"You...... Why do you want to follow me? ”

When asked, he felt stupid - who would let the first-class little guy not do it, and be willing to be a handyman.

But the dog baby knelt down, and looked at him with bright eyes:

"Because, Childe saved and saved my life, Childe is, is a good person."
