After the man sent Xiao Jingkong home, he turned around and left, and Gu Jiao didn't even have time to thank him.
Gu Jiao asked Xiao Jingkong about the incident, and when she learned that he was desperate to save a chicken, Gu Jiao also felt that he should not do it.
However, Gu Jiao was not in a hurry to express her opinion.
Xiao Jingkong frowned deeply and said, "Big brother said I shouldn't do this, does Jiaojiao think I did something wrong?"
Gu Jiao asked him, "What do you think?"
Xiao Jingkong raised her chest and said, "I think I'm doing the right thing! If it's me who is in danger, Jiaojiao will go all out to save me!"
Yes, even the idioms popped out.
Gu Jiao said, "But, have you ever thought that maybe Xiao Qi doesn't need your help?"
"Huh?" Xiao Jingkong was puzzled.
Gu Jiao explained patiently: "Xiao Qi is very sensitive and small, so the horse's hoof can't easily step on it, but the horse's hoof can easily step on you."
Xiao Jingkong suddenly realized one thing: he is not as sensitive as a chicken!
Xiao Jingkong secretly vowed that he would practice more diligently, that he would become very sensitive, and protect his chickens!
A few days later, Gu Houye and his party also arrived in the capital.
The bumps for more than a month have broken the three of them. Gu Jinyu has never ridden in such a bad carriage before, and her whole body is so sore that it seems that it is not her own.
Yao shi has no complaints. She is very fortunate that she took this car, otherwise she would feel distressed if Jiaojiao and Yan'er came to suffer this kind of hardship.
"It's hard for you." Yao shi took Gu Jinyu's hand and said guiltily.
Gu Jinyu said warmly, "I'm fine, my brother is not in good health, he must not be able to bear such a bump. I'm glad my mother gave the carriage to my sister and brother."
Yao Shi patted Gu Jinyu's hand: "You're still sensible."
Lord Gu helped Yao Shi and Gu Jinyu out of the carriage.
The servants in the mansion were very happy to see Lord Hou and Gu Jinyu, but they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the Yao Shi next to Lord Hou.
Yao shi has lived in the villa for ten years, and she has never returned to the mansion once, and the servants at the gate don't know her at all.
Lord Gu said coldly, "What are you doing stupidly? Haven't seen your wife soon?"
Several people looked at each other in dismay, and bowed forward in a dazed manner: "Have you seen Madam?"
what lady
Could it be possible that Lord Hou has raised a woman outside
Yao shi was too old to be embarrassed by such a small offense, and she has been taking the depression medicine prescribed by Jiaojiao for the past six months, and her mood and body are very good.
Lord Gu took Yao Shi and Gu Jinyu into the mansion.
The servants had already spread the news to Mrs. Gu's Songhe Courtyard.
Mrs. Gu had not seen her son for more than half a year, and she was quite worried about it, so she had someone go to ask Lord Gu to come to Songhe Court immediately.
Lord Gu originally planned to take Yao Shi to greet the old lady tomorrow, but the old lady urged him, so he had to divert to Songheyuan halfway.
Mrs. Gu was overjoyed and waited to meet her son, but when she saw Mrs. Yao next to her son, Mrs. Gu's smile froze.
"Why is she back?" Mrs. Gu asked calmly.
Gu Jinyu was embarrassed for her mother.
"Mother!" Lord Gu glanced at Mrs. Gu and motioned her not to show Yao's face like that.
Mrs. Gu should not have seen it.
Yao shi bowed in an orderly manner: "I have seen my mother."
Gu Jinyu also saluted: "I have seen my grandmother."
Mrs. Gu used to look at Gu Jinyu well, but now that Yao Shi came, she even disliked Gu Jinyu.
Yao shi lived with Gu Yan in the hot spring villa, and now Yao shi has returned, but Gu Yan is nowhere to be seen, and Mrs. Gu didn't even think to ask.
Gu Houye made a round of words: "Mother, my son is exhausted from running around all the way. I'll come back tomorrow to greet you."
He didn't say that Yao Shi and Gu Jinyu were tired, but that he was tired, so Mrs. Gu could not let her own son go to rest
This is why Mrs. Gu doesn't like Yao's eyes. It's not entirely because Yao's background is not good, but more because as long as Yao's here, her son will follow the devil, and no one will pay attention to it. !
Gu Houye pretended not to understand Madam Gu's displeasure, and said with a smile, "My son is leaving first", and took Yao Shi and Gu Jinyu out of Songheyuan.
The three of them had just crossed the threshold when they met a woman in fancy clothes and jewels.
The woman glanced at the three of them, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly bowed down and bowed: "Master! Madam! Miss!"
Gu Houye frowned: "Aunt Ling, why are you here?"
The woman called Aunt Ling smiled and said, "I'm here to bring ginseng soup to my mother."
Is it necessary to dress up like this to deliver ginseng soup to the old lady? Gu Jinyu could see that she was blocking Lord Gu here.
Mrs. Gu's surname is Ling, Mrs. Xianhou is Mrs. Gu's direct niece, and Aunt Ling is Mrs. Xianhou's concubine, and she can be regarded as Mrs. Gu's niece.
When little Ling passed away, Mrs. Gu married Yao, and Mrs. Gu was worried that Mr. Gu would not love the three sons born to her ex-wife when she had a new love, so she decided to take Concubine Ling as her concubine.
Lord Gu didn't like Aunt Ling, but with Mrs. Gu supporting Aunt Ling, Aunt Ling had a very good life in the mansion.
Especially after Yao Shi and Gu Yan moved to the villa, Aunt Ling seemed to be about to become the serious wife of the Hou residence.
In addition, she is the aunt of the three sons, and the three sons are far more close to her than to Yao Shi.
"Then go send it." After Gu Houye said lightly, he helped Yao Shi and left.
The next day, Yao Shi shied away from being sick and did not go to greet Mrs. Gu.
Mother Fang persuaded Yao Shi: "Madam, why is this necessary? Be careful with the etiquette, so as to save the population."
Yao shi smiled bitterly: "No matter how well I do, there will always be people who want to pick me up. If I don't go, the old lady will be out of sight and out of mind."
Gu Houye and Gu Jinyu went to Songheyuan.
Hearing that Yao Shi was ill, Madam Gu snorted coldly, "She just doesn't want to see me!"
Gu Houye hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, how could Yao'er not want to see you? Look, she prepared these gifts for you herself! She respects you the most in her heart!"
The gift was indeed chosen by Yao shi, and it was also thoughtful, but Yao shi was not for herself, but to prevent Madam Gu from taking out Gu Jinyu's anger.
Mrs. Gu pouted, she didn't like Yao shi, so it would be better if Yao shi didn't come, to save her from being upset.
"Where's Yan'er?" Madam Gu finally asked Gu Yan, "Why didn't he come with you?"
Lord Gu didn't dare to say that Gu Yan had come to the capital early, he smiled and said, "Yan'er is not well, I'll let him slow down, and a doctor will accompany him."
"Well." Mrs. Gu didn't ask any further.
Lord Gu said, "I'll take Jinyu into the palace in a while to say goodbye to the empress."
Speaking of Concubine Shu, Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Jinyu with a kinder look: "Alright, your aunt has been thinking about you for a long time, and she has been asked by the mansion several times."
Gu Jinyu smiled in relief: "Jinyu also misses her aunt very much."
While talking, someone came to report, the second son and the third son.
Madam Gu's face immediately revealed an unconcealed doting.
If Mrs. Gu had the most trouble in her heart, it would be her three precious grandsons, and even the biological son of Lord Gu, was not as important to her as the grandsons.
Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin closed the curtain and entered.
"grandmother."
"Father."
The two bowed hands.
Gu Jinyu stood up and saluted the two brothers: "Second brother, third brother."
Gu Chenglin gave her a lukewarm look.
Gu Chengfeng said, "No need to be too polite."
He spoke politely, but his tone was very distant.
Gu Jinyu is used to it, the brothers are not targeting her, but the mother, but the brothers will not like the mother's child.
"Where's your eldest brother? Why don't you see him?" Mrs. Gu asked.
Gu Chengfeng said: "Big brother came back very late last night, and went to the military camp again early in the morning."
The eldest grandson of the Marquis of Ding'an is not so easy to do. He is the heir of the Marquis, and he shoulders the rise and fall of the Marquis, which is harder than other children.
Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her grandson, but she couldn't really drag him back from the military camp.
Gu Houye saw that the time was almost up, and it was time to get to the point. He cleared his throat and said to Mrs. Gu, "Mother, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Gu looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Houye glanced at Gu Jinyu who was on the side, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "It's about the life experience of the two children."
…
Gu Jiao worked at home for several days, and finally renovated both yards. She planted green onions, rapeseed, and lettuce in the small vegetable garden, and planted some peas at Xiao Jingkong's request.
The small vegetable garden only occupied the left half of the yard, while the right half Gu Jiao thought about building a grape trellis, planting some gourds, and then planting some grapes and loofah in the spring sowing next year.
Xiao Liulang had already taken back the waist badge of the Imperial College, and registered for Xiao Jingkong by the way.
Guozijian’s Mengxue is also divided into four classes according to grades and age. Besides these four classes, there is a very special class that recruits children with extraordinary talents, somewhat similar to Gu Jiao’s previous life. The Prodigy Class.
This kind of class was only opened in recent years, and Xiao Liulang never attended it when he was a child.
Gu Jiao stopped when she was cutting vegetables: "Huh? Didn't the Guozijian close for a few years? Mengxue is not closed?"
Xiao Liulang added some firewood to the stove: "Strictly speaking, Mengxue of Guozijian does not belong to Guozijian completely. When His Majesty closed Guozijian, he didn't deliberately mention Mengxue, but Mengxue took advantage of it and has been in operation until now."
It has been open for a few years, so it should be quite experienced in teaching child prodigies.
Gu Jiao said, "What is the entrance exam?"
Xiao Liulang said: "Judging from the examinations in previous years, the examiners are literate, scriptures, and arithmetic."
Gu Jiao snorted: "These small spaces are all right."
"Yeah." Xiao Liulang nodded.
But to be on the safe side, the two still spent a lot of money to buy back the exam questions from previous years to do it again for Xiaojingkong. Xiaojingkong's accuracy rate is very high, but the writing is slow, ugly, and extremely ugly!
There is one more item in Xiaojingkong's daily itinerary: writing calligraphy.
Xiao Qingkong is not happy, he suspects that the bad brother-in-law is depriving him of his happiness as a child!
Xiao Liulang said to him: "Jiaojiao also practices calligraphy every day, the two of you together."
Thinking of being alone with Jiaojiao, Xiao Jingkong happily agreed!
Gu Jiao hadn't dreamed for a long time.
The last time I dreamed was before Xiao Liulang went to the provincial urban and rural areas for the examination, and it has been four months since then.
She had almost forgotten that she could dream.
However, this night, when she and Xiao Jingkong finished practicing calligraphy and returned to the house, she soon fell into a strange dream.
The reason why it was unfamiliar was that neither Xiao Liulang nor herself appeared in her dream.
It was the man she had almost forgotten who had saved Xiao Qingkong.
The man was wearing cyan armor and a blood-colored cloak, sitting on a majestic warhorse.
Passing through a secluded alley, the man encountered a wave of ambush, and the assassins were all first-class masters. Even so, they were still no match for men.
Just when the man was about to win, one of the assassins suddenly threw a child and stabbed the child with a sword.
In order to save the child, the man was cut in the right arm by the assassin.
The assassin's sword was poisoned, and although the man's life was saved, his right arm was abolished.
Strictly speaking, this assassination has something to do with the small clearance.
This group of assassins had been stalking the man for a long time, but never dared to make a move. They accidentally bumped into the man who rescued an unarmed child. They decided to do the same, and then this assassination happened.
When Gu Jiao woke up, her expression was a little inexplicable.
She can't understand her dreams more and more. Can anyone who can't be beaten can be dreamed by her now
But no matter what he said, he had saved Xiao Jingkong's life, and the inspiration for this assassination was also inspired by him saving Xiao Jingkong.
She couldn't just sit back and watch.
The time of the assassination was tomorrow evening. As for the location, she remembered that there was a Xiangyun Inn near where the man was assassinated.
