Gu Changqing came to the door, looked at the closed door, and then looked at Gu Chenglin: "What's wrong?"
Gu Chenglin said, "Oh, I'm waiting for the second brother to go to my grandmother's place for dinner, the second brother is changing clothes."
Gu Changqing said indifferently: "I'm going to Ling's house tomorrow morning, you all get ready."
"Got it." Gu Chenglin replied.
Gu Changqing looked at the closed door again: "Chengfeng, are you all right?"
Gu Chengfeng clenched his teeth and put on his clothes, and said, "I'm fine, did eldest brother go to grandmother's place for dinner tonight?"
Gu Changqing said, "I'm going to the military camp, and I won't be back tonight."
"Are you coming back on New Year's Eve?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Gu Changqing paused and said, "I should be back."
Gu Chengfeng waited quietly in the room, making sure that Gu Changqing's footsteps had gone far, he threw the blood-stained clothes into the charcoal basin and set it on fire!
Bishui Hutong.
Gu Jiao also returned home.
There were many scratches and crushes on her body, and she couldn't hide it at all, so she had to honestly explain what happened to her.
"The house of the music hall collapsed, and I was crushed under it."
She didn't say that she was in the underground storage room at the time, but even on the ground, there was a possibility of falling through the crack and being crushed.
"Jiaojiao, why did you go to the music hall?" Xiao Jingkong asked with wide eyes, his eyes were wide, full of worry and sadness.
Gu Jiao moved his little bald head: "Just take a look, it's a pity, the candied haws I bought for you are gone."
The baskets are crushed.
Xiao Jingkong plunged into Gu Jiao's arms and said aggrievedly, "I don't want candied fruit! I just want Jiaojiao!"
Gu Jiao leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the little guy who was afraid in her arms, thinking, is this what it feels like to be needed
"I'm fine." She glanced at the worried eyes in the room and smiled, "It's really fine."
This injury was nothing to her at all.
But in the eyes of her family, she was hurt so badly that she couldn't even get off the bed!
The old lady asked Gu Jiao to rest in bed, and she would never worry about the housework.
just cook-
The family is sitting in the main room, you look at me, I look at you.
It was Xiao Liulang who cleared his throat and said, "I'll cook."
The whole family: "Don't go!"
Don't you know how hard it is to cook by yourself? !
The old lady's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong can't cook. The only one left is Gu Xiaoshun, but his cooking skills are only a little better than Xiao Liulang.
At this time, the old lady missed Xue Ningxiang very much.
Fragrant rice is delicious.
Small Headroom: Add one.
Gu Xiaoshun: Add one.
Gu Yan: Add one.
Xiao Liulang: "..."
Finally, the old lady sighed and went to the next door.
Lao Jijiu was writing couplets in the room when the door was kicked open with a bang.
The old sacrificial wine trembled with fright: "I don't have any private money anymore!"
The old lady put the kitchen knife on his table: "cook."
Old sacrifice wine: "… "
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Jijiu appeared in the kitchen next door with a dark face.
Has the dignified and dignified country's wine sacrifice actually reduced to the point of being a cook for the former enemy
Forget it, he just couldn't bear his beloved disciple and the little benefactor to have nothing to eat.
It's not that I have to compromise with the evil queen!
However, why is the dish so green today
Garlic sprouts, celery, greens, mung bean sprouts…
While the old sacrificial wine chopped with a kitchen knife on the chopping board, he silently said in his heart: "Don't worry, the old emperor, the old minister will never let your head turn green!"
"Grandpa!" Xiao Jingkong shouted in the yard.
The old sacrificial wine put down the kitchen knife: "Come on!"
The late emperor, whose coffin board could no longer be held down: "..."
The old sacrifice wine made six dishes and one soup, which was more luxurious than Gu Jiao's cooking lineup.
Xiaojingkong can't eat meat, so he made Weijiuzhao (vegetarian meat wrapped in tofu), outwit Chencang (sesame and mung bean soup), good plan (deep-fried tofu bag), and three-legged confrontation (assorted vegetables) for Xiaojingkong alone.
The old sacrificial wine not only has a good name, but also tastes really good.
The old lady thought thoughtfully: "Well, I may have taken a fancy to your cooking skills at the beginning."
The old sacrificial wine panicked: No, we didn't have it before!
The old sacrifice wine also stewed tonic soup for Gu Jiao.
Xiao Liulang sent the soup and food to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao sat on the head of the bed and looked at him with bright eyes.
Xiao Liulang was fascinated by her undisguised eyes. He lowered his eyes, put the food on the table first, and then moved to the small table he usually used on the bed to do his homework.
He put the table in front of her and set the dishes and soup.
Because of her wounds, her diet is very light.
Xiao Liulang looked at a table of colorless meals, paused, and said, "If you're really not used to it, I'll bring you some pickles."
Gu Jiao didn't say a word, just widened her eyes and looked at him with a lingering look.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Liulang asked.
Gu Jiao said, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Liulang didn't understand.
Gu Jiao looked at him fixedly: "Aren't you afraid of being pinned down and unable to get out again?"
The situation was really dangerous.
It's not the danger that she will be sacrificed, it's that there will really collapse at any time.
He jumped down without hesitation.
Crawled towards her again in darkness and danger.
Xiao Liulang didn't think much of it at the time.
After saving her, I didn't think too much about it.
As if it was something he was supposed to do, he himself didn't realize there was anything special about it.
Just being asked by her left him speechless.
Gu Jiao curved her lips: "You look so handsome when you jumped down."
In the past, I thought he was good-looking, his face, and his figure looked good everywhere.
But the moment he jumped down, he was a truly brave man.
Her little brother has grown up.
Xiao Liulang was praised so that his ears were a little red, and he handed her the spoon and soup bowl: "Eat it while it's hot, it'll be cold in a while."
"Yeah." Gu Jiao took the spoon and drank it in small sips.
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Liulang said to Gu Jiao: "The scene is too chaotic, your basket is crushed, and some things have not been recovered."
Gu Jiao didn't care: "It's okay, you can buy the sugar gourd if you lose it."
"It's not candied fruit, it's..." Xiao Liulang was halfway through speaking, when he saw the small medicine box beside her, he snorted and frowned suspiciously.
Maybe he remembered it wrong.
…
"Master Hou!" Chang Jing returned to the Hou residence.
"Why did it take so long? Is it difficult to save people?" Xuanping Hou was asking Steward Liu to play chess with him.
Liu Guanshi was able to order food, and he ordered two people by himself.
Chang Jing said: "It's not difficult to save people, but it's difficult to find out who they are."
Those few people were rescued and left, even if the yamen wanted to record their confessions.
But the yamen is the yamen, and Chang Jing is Chang Jing.
A commoner who was watching the fun happened to meet Xiao Liulang, who was selling tea eggs across from the Guozijian.
"It's a student of Guozijian," Chang Jing said.
"Name?" Xuanping Hou.
"I didn't know." Chang Jing shook his head.
The seller of tea eggs had only met Xiao Liulang, but had not spoken to Xiao Liulang.
But Liu Guanshi frowned thoughtfully.
A student of Guozijian
Wouldn't it be the young master of his own
No, no, no, it's impossible, it's too stupid!
Must be someone else!
Gu Jiao spent the next two days recuperating at home.
New Year's Eve is coming, not only the academy and Guozijian are on holiday, but the shops on the street are also closed one after another.
Gu Houye happily went to the bookstore of his immediate boss, waiting to receive his current year's performance appraisal.
"Given so many generous gifts, how can he be an excellent one?" Gu Houye walked with wind.
Zhao Shangshu coldly threw the document in front of him.
He picked it up and opened it, suspecting that he had read it wrong, and read it carefully again, wondering, "Master Zhao, did you make a mistake? Take someone else's evaluation score as mine?"
He gave such an expensive gift, and got a bad review as a result
If this is to stab the emperor, he will be punished again!
Zhao Shangshu's eyes were cold, if it wasn't for the old man's sake, he would have done the Fa-rectification on the spot right now!
How dare he incite his daughter to beat his son
It's the other way around!
Gu Houye was at a loss: "How did I offend the adults?"
Zhao Shangshu: Oh, you didn't offend me, it's just that your daughter is going to beat up my son to meet the ancestors!
Gu Houye didn't know if he was miserable by Gu Jiao again, and he thought it was because the gift was not heavy enough: "Master Zhao, if there is anything we can discuss slowly!"
"Negotiate a fart!" Zhao Shangshu made a foul language and slammed Gu Houye out.
Gu Houye held the first bad review in his official career, and felt aggrieved and aggrieved!
On the other hand, Xuanping Hou also suffered the first wave of blows after returning to Beijing.
Everyone knows that salt transportation is a piece of fertilizer, and so is mining.
Xuanping Hou's subordinates managed to take down a mine, but when they were approaching mining, they were charged with a complaint, reporting that one of Xuanping Hou's retainers had a bad style, fished the local people, and bullied women from good families.
The evidence was conclusive, and the emperor immediately dismissed the dog official.
The official was recommended by the Marquis of Xuanping. The current dynasty implemented the system of continuous sitting. If the recommended official did something wrong, the recommender must also be punished.
How to punish
I can't scold again like before.
The emperor then took back the mining rights of the mine and handed it over to others.
Xuanping Hou baring his teeth, what a fucking pain!
After going down to court, the Marquis of Xuanping stopped the old man in front and said with a playful smile, "Master Zhuang, what did you do?"
Mrs. Zhuang looked back, gave him a cold look, and mocked: "If you want people to know nothing, you can't do anything unless you don't know what to do, not to mention that there is only one official in the world who doesn't like Mr. Xiao? The person who Mr. Xiao offended is too much It’s better to go back and reflect on it.”
Marquis Xuan Ping put his hands in the warm hands and said, "Why don't you dare to recognize it when you do it? I don't like you, a scholar like you, who has a son to do it and not a son to recognize it."
"Marquis Xuanping!" Mrs. Zhuang was choked up by the indescribable foul language, and his hair stood up. "This is the Imperial Palace, the Golden Palace, please be careful!"
Xuanping Marquis glanced at him calmly, and walked away with a cool smile.
Xuanping Hou got on the carriage: "What's the situation? Ben Hou just came back, and he rushed to block Ben Hou?"
The guard said: "It seems... It's because of Zheng Siye's affairs not long ago. Zheng Siye was about to become a sacrificial wine at the Imperial College, but suddenly there were rumors that he had bad conduct and disrespect for his teacher in the Imperial College, and there was another The bribery account book from a few years ago circulated wildly in Guozijian, and finally fell into His Majesty's hands. His Majesty put the matter of conferring Guozijian's sacrificial wine on hold for the time being."
Marquis Xuanping narrowed his eyes: "So he thinks it was Marquis Ben doing it?"
The guard was silent.
"Does this Marquis need to deal with a small Siye?" Xuanping Marquis took out his hand from the warm hand and picked up a snack on the table: "Chang Jing, Ben Marquis has been tricked."
Outside the carriage, Chang Jing said, "I'll kill him!"
Xuanping Hou threw the snack back on the plate: "It's boring!"
Chang Jing was wronged.
Marquis Xuanping slowed down his tone and said to him as if he was coaxing a child: "Why don't you first check who that person is? Who is behind this marquis?"
"Oh." Chang Jing went to check.
It turned out that the biggest suspect was a student of Guozijian.
The Duke of Xuanping was puzzled: "Why is it the Guozijian again? Is this Hou fighting with the prisoner of the Guozijian?"
"Actually..." Steward Liu on the side cleared his throat, "I've never told you something."
"What's the matter?" Xuanping Hou asked.
Steward Liu: "The young master who doesn't want to recognize you is also a student of Guozijian."
Xuanping Hou: "..."
…
On New Year's Eve, Gu Jiao woke up early.
The medicine in the small medicine box was very effective. In just two days, all the abrasions and pressure injuries on her body were gone, and she was able to come out to move her muscles and bones.
This was their first New Year's Eve in the capital, and it was also the birthdays of Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong.
She takes it seriously.
She first went to the front yard to select two thick and strong bamboos and cut them down to make firecrackers.
There was no gunpowder in this dynasty. The so-called firecrackers are actually just burning bamboo in the fire, and the bamboo will make a crackling sound, which is very festive.
After making the firecrackers, she is ready to make breakfast.
In the cupboard, there are dumplings made by Lao Jijiu last night, stuffed with mutton, cabbage and pork, as well as leeks and corn. She has cooked them a little, and there is also a small headroom, which is stuffed with plum and vegetable meat.
The family started one after another.
Xiao Jingkong was the first to come to the kitchen to find Gu Jiao.
"Jiaojiao." Xiao Jingkong hugged her legs and rubbed her little head against her soft stomach, "Didn't my aunt say you want to rest? You can't work!"
"I'm fine, if you don't believe me, look." Gu Jiao pulled up her sleeves and showed him her injured wrist.
Xiao Jingkong looked at it carefully and was sure that it was really healed, so he nodded happily!
Gu Jiao curled her lips: "Go and call my aunt and grandpa over to eat dumplings."
"Okay Jiaojiao!"
Not long after, Feng Lin and Lin Chengye also arrived.
This was also their first year in the capital, and it was strange that they were not used to it. Fortunately, Gu Jiao called them over.
As soon as the two entered the house, it was as if they had returned to their own home, and they were all at ease.
Xiao Liulang heard the voices of the two, and was about to come out to greet the two when he saw Feng Lin rushing past him: "Little girl! I'm here—"
Lin Chengye: "Me too, come-"
Xiao Liulang, who was ignored by the two Chi Guoguo: "..."
