Gu Jinyu saw that her eldest brother actually gave Gu Jiao something, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
She gave her eldest brother so many gifts, and what she got in return was just a thank you from him. Don't think she didn't know that the gifts for her birthday every year were prepared by Concubine Ling, and the eldest brother didn't even give "himself" anything. Neither is clear.
Although she can't see what's in the box from her point of view, could it be worse if the elder brother chose it himself
Gu Jinyu is not a rare item in a box, what she is noticing is her elder brother's intention.
A girl who grew up in the countryside, she has to be good-looking but not good-looking, she has to learn but she can't learn, and she is always ready to beat people. What does the eldest brother like about her
Gu Jinyu didn't go to meet Yao Shi, and she went back to Hou's mansion alone.
On the other hand, the dispute between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War finally came to an end today, the Ministry of War won a complete victory, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was scolded by His Majesty.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was furious, and after returning to the yamen, he called Mr. Gu over and asked him how he did things in the first place: "The Ministry of War said that he has come to you many times, but you have put it away on the grounds of unbelief?"
Gu Houye retorted: "Not many times, he didn't explain it at first, and only asked me to make such a large number of weapons within a month. At that time, it was almost the end of the year, and there was a lot of work in the Ministry of Industry. Can't control it!"
The weapon manufacturing of the previous dynasty was not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. After the opening of the dynasty, the responsibilities of the six departments were re-divided, and the most changed was the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Industry has a lot of shit all of a sudden, but the salary is not long, and the status is not long. It can be called an old scalper among the six departments.
Of course, Zhao Shangshu understood that Gu Houye did not lie. The Ministry of Industry was in charge of the fields, water conservancy, civil engineering, transportation, and government-run industries in the entire Zhao Kingdom, including but not limited to weapons manufacturing...
Once the New Year is over, it is so busy that one person has to be broken into three or four people.
But what is he angry about
It was Lord Gu who didn't check, so he insisted that there was no way the people could have a blasting technique that was more powerful than that of the imperial court. As a result, the people did have it, and it was brought back by the Ministry of War!
Now their entire Ministry of Industry has to go to the Ministry of War to learn blasting techniques!
Is this what people do
Is there still room for his old face
On the way back from the imperial court, he was almost laughed at by his colleagues!
"I don't know whether to call you stupid or arrogant!"
Zhao Shangshu's seven orifices gave birth to smoke!
Lord Gu pouted and said, "Would you believe it if you were present instead of an adult?"
Zhao Shangshu choked.
I knew it was the expression of Lord Gu Hou: "Look, who dares to believe it?"
"I, I, I... How come I can't believe it?" Who wouldn't? Zhao Shangshu said solemnly, "You didn't tell me at that time that I sent someone to the county town to invite people!"
Master Gu looked up at the sky: You make it up, then you make it up.
Zhao Shangshu: "..."
How did the old marquis give birth to such a foolish son
But then again, he couldn't believe it.
When the Minister of War just told him about the folk blowing technique, he scoffed. The old man in the Ministry of War was also very bad, obviously the piston bellows was already on the way, he just didn't tell him.
Caused him to think that the thing was blown out by the Ministry of War, he didn't hesitate to sneer at him, and he made a lot of cruel words, and now he was hit in the face with every sentence.
Zhao Shangshu asked: "I heard that it was invented by a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. Weren't you in the county town? Have you heard of such a girl?"
There are so many girls in the county seat, and there is one in his family! Too bad he was born to beat him!
"What's the matter? Do you know him?" Zhao Shangshu asked, looking at Lord Gu's sudden dignified expression.
Lord Gu waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of fourteen-year-old girls out there. You can't just be that girl."
Zhao Shangshu nodded: "That's true, but I heard from the iron shop that she is a small peasant girl. Our Ministry of Industry has suffered a big loss this time. If we can find her, we will definitely be able to save face in front of Your Majesty."
A small peasant girl in the county town
It's not really that girl, is it
Soon, Lord Gu shook his head decisively.
That girl didn't know a single big character. She said that she could feed pigs and farm the land. She invented a piston bellows that can crush Liang Guo's water drainage? how is this possible
Lord Gu said: "My lord, in my opinion, that girl must be a disciple or family member of a master from outside the world, and she doesn't want to join the WTO, so she didn't reveal her identity."
Zhao Shangshu thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Ah, by the way, I heard from the people in the iron shop that she seems to be surnamed Lu... or Gu?"
It was getting late, and Gu Jiao finished her day's treatment and finally took a look at Gu Chenglin's condition.
Gu Chengfeng had something to ask her.
As long as there is meat on the table now, he will think of the scene of Gu Chenglin's surgery, that frame by frame... It's not too shocking!
If it goes on like this, he is afraid that he will not have to become a monk! He wondered if there was a cure for this disease
However, Gu Jiao didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so she turned around and left!
"Hey, you just left?" Gu Chengfeng asked angrily.
Gu Jiao looked at him lightly.
Gu Chengfeng straightened his expression and said, "In case my brother is in any danger."
"There is Doctor Song." Gu Jiao said.
Gu Chengfeng hesitated.
This Doctor Song looks like a novice. He was injured when the music hall collapsed. It was Doctor Song who stitched him up. The sewing was crooked and unsightly! It still hurts for a long time!
"If you're not satisfied, you can transfer to another hospital." Gu Jiao said casually, walked to the door and handed over to Doctor Song, and gave Doctor Song an encouraging look, "This kind of critically ill patient with heartache is very important. Rare, you have to cherish this opportunity to practice."
Doctor Song is full of ambition: "I will!"
Gu Chengfeng's face was full of black lines: "..."
Is it really good for your hospital to be so rude
"Ah, by the way, settle the bill." Gu Jiao threw a bill into Gu Chengfeng's arms.
Gu Chengfeng took it over and took a look: "Why is it another thousand taels! Didn't the third brother's medicine cost only a few dozen taels?"
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "It's not his, it's yours."
Gu Chengfeng's eyes widened: "What happened to me?"
Gu Jiao spread her hands: "I also gave you a needle."
Gu Chengfeng jumped like thunder: "Then it will cost one thousand taels?! And you are attacking me, okay? You attack me and you still deceive me?"
Gu Jiao smiled evilly, her eyes swept across Gu Chenglin's body: "If you don't pay, you can decide."
Gu Chengfeng: "...!!"
Both Yao Shi and Gu Changqing had already left, and Gui Momo always wiped away tears, but Gu Chengfeng also drove away, leaving only a little servant who didn't talk much.
At night, Gu Chengfeng and the servant took care of Gu Chenglin.
Gu Jiao went home with a small backpack on her back.
Xiao Liulang and the four all came back from Guozijian and Qinghe Academy. The commotion in the courtyard was full of fireworks from home.
Gu Jiao hadn't slept all night, Xiao Liulang didn't want her to come back and wanted to cook, so he cooked dinner by himself, but the whole family was unanimously opposed.
It's enough to be poisoned by him for one day, and they really won't see the sun tomorrow after the second meal.
Fortunately, the old sacrificial wine was at home today, and the old lady brought the kitchen knife and drove people over.
Gu Jiao first put the small back basket back in the east room, and then went to the backyard.
"Jiaojiaojiaojiao!" Xiaojingkong ran over, raised her little head and looked at Gu Jiao cutely, "It's like every three autumns if we don't see you in one day, Jiaojiao, we haven't seen each other for three years, I really miss it. You!"
The corner of Gu Jiao's mouth twitched, where did she learn this earthy love story
"Jiaojiao, do you miss me?" Xiao Jingkong continued to be cute.
"Think." Gu Jiao moved his bald head.
Mmmm, another hair stud.
Xiao Jingkong pulled Gu Jiao's hand: "Jiaojiao, did you hug me last night? Do you think I'm broken?"
Gu Jiao glanced at Xiao Liulang who was chopping wood in the yard, nodded and said to Xiao Jingkong, "Well, yes."
Xiao Jingkong raised his chin proudly: "I knew it!" Thinking of something, he pulled Gu Jiao to a small basin, pointed at the little fish in the basin, and said, "Look at Jiaojiao, I'm fine. A friend gave it to me!"
"You still have a good friend?" Gu Jiao was surprised, Xiao Jingkong was not a particularly gregarious child, and had never heard of him having any friends.
"It's from the next class, it's called Xu Porridge! Porridge for drinking porridge!" Xiao Jingkong said.
Gu Jiao was a little surprised when she made friends and went to the next class.
She and Xiao Liulang have always been worried that Xiao Jingkong is too precocious, that they can't play with their peers, and that there is a gap in thinking with adults. If things go on like this, they will inevitably fall into a situation of isolation.
Xiao Jingkong showed off his little fish: "Is it beautiful?"
Gu Jiao said with a conscience, "...Beautiful, quite beautiful, what kind of fish?"
She had never seen such an ugly fish.
Xiao Jingkong said seriously: "Xiao Xu said they were piranhas."
Gu Jiao's body trembled.
What kind of children are these, so cruel? !
I was naive to think that you could be like a normal child and befriend a normal child—
Xiao Jingkong's aesthetics are not the same as those of normal people. His aesthetics were deviated by his master, and then he deviated from all the little monks in the temple.
For example, the red birthmark, which is unacceptable to ordinary people, happens to grow on the aesthetics of the small headroom and a few little monks.
The same goes for these fish.
Not only do they look weird, but their eyes are fierce, but they have a golden fish scale on their heads, which gleams in the sun, fascinating the little headroom.
It was for the sake of these beautiful little fish that Xiao Jingkong took the initiative to chat with children in Guozijian for the first time.
Of course, they are not piranhas. They are just children talking big. They are ordinary freshwater fish, but they are not the species of Zhao Kingdom. They were transported from Liang Kingdom thousands of miles away and are very precious.
Of course, these Xu porridge children didn't say anything, and he didn't understand either.
"Jiaojiao, can I keep them?" Xiao Jingkong asked Gu Jiao.
He is a sensible and polite child, and he always asks Jiaojiao's permission before raising a pet.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Yes, but you have to feed and change the water yourself. Also, we have no experience in raising fish, so we can't help you in this regard."
"Yeah!" Xiao Jingkong nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I will ask Xiao Xu for more advice! I will keep them all fat! So when I grow up, I can eat them!"
Gu Jiao: So you keep fish to eat fish
All of a sudden, there was no sound from the little fowls who were dancing in the yard.
At night, Gu Yan, who worked for Xiaojingkong, went to the chicken coop to feed seven chicks, only to find that they were on a hunger strike!
Gu Yan: "Huh?"
The dinner consisted of six dishes and one soup. The children in the family were all growing up. The old sacrifice wine made a lot of it, and still opened a small stove for Xiao Qingkong.
He eats a lot, but he doesn't grow tall.
Also sad.
The cooking skills of the old sacrifice wine successfully smoothed out the shadow brought by Xiao Liulang's breakfast, and the family was full.
After the meal, the old lady asked a few people about the day's situation as usual. Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang didn't say anything about Gu Chenglin's visit. Neither of them felt that Gu Chenglin was worth taking up their family discussion time at the dinner table.
Except for Xiao Jingkong who made a new friend in Guozijian, nothing new happened to the others.
On the other hand, Xiao Liulang, who has always been silent at the family meeting, opened his mouth for the first time: "There is a carpenter near Guozijian who wants to accept apprentices. Tomorrow Guozijian and Qinghe Academy will be closed for ten days. I will take Xiaoshun there."
Gu Xiaoshun is fascinated by woodcarving. If he can find a reliable master to learn craftsmanship, it would be a good way.
"Then don't I need to study?" Gu Xiaoshun asked excitedly.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang said in unison, "Don't even think about it!"
Gu Xiaoshun: "..."
It is true that children from ordinary families do not need to go to school after they have acquired skills, but Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao are both extremely educated people.
"Gu Yan will also go together." Xiao Liulang said.
"Why do I have to go too?" Gu Yan was confused.
Xiao Liulang: "You are free."
Gu Yan: "..."
From now on, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun will start a hard life of taking classes during the day and studying arts at night.
Xiao Jingkong shook his head proudly: "I don't need to learn art, I can play, just a little!"
Xiao Liulang gave him a ruthless look: "Starting tomorrow, add another foreign language class."
Xiao Qingkong's face darkened instantly.
