Gu Jiao had never shared a bed with anyone in her previous life, not even a female roommate. She thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell asleep in that reassuring breath after a while.
She went to see Duke Zhou, but Xiao Liulang didn't fall asleep so quickly.
He looked at Gu Jiao lying beside him, the thin snow light fell on her face through the window paper, she was lying on her side, and the half of her face with the birthmark was pressed down.
She was probably really afraid of the cold, her face was red from freezing, her eyelashes were long and her facial features were delicate. If there were no birthmarks, she would be a beautiful and refined little girl.
Inexplicably, a trace of regret flashed in Xiao Liulang's heart.
But soon, he frowned again and wiped this emotion from his heart.
Xiao Liulang slept very well, barely moving all night.
Gu Jiao is also quite good, except for getting closer and closer to Xiao Liulang, hugging Xiao Liulang with both hands and feet, and resting her small head on Xiao Liulang's shoulder, there is really nothing else.
Gu Jiao slept until dawn, and when she woke up, Xiao Liulang was already up and sitting by the window reading a book.
The light of the sky shone through the window paper, reflecting on his jade-like face. Gu Jiao's delusion was not sure, but he seemed to be blushing a little.
"You're awake." Xiao Liulang greeted Gu Jiao seriously, but did not look at Gu Jiao on the bed.
"Well, I woke up, early." Gu Jiao rubbed her eyes and yawned a little. She just woke up, but she was still in a daze, and unconsciously she had a lazy little milky voice.
In the early morning, who can bear this for a normal man
Xiao Liulang only felt his chest swell, and he almost stood up: "I'm going to buy breakfast!"
After saying that, she opened the door and went out, leaving only Gu Jiao scratching her little head in confusion.
The snow stopped in the middle of the night, and the sun was particularly good today.
Because the academy was closed today, after breakfast, the two hired a mule cart to go back to the village.
When passing by the entrance of the village, I heard the villagers who were fetching water by the ancient well talking: It snowed suddenly yesterday, and people who went back to the village for several nights were injured. Lost half life.
Xiao Liulang thought about the fact that he had to hire a car to go back to the village last night. If she hadn't proposed to stay at the inn for one night, they might have suffered an accident too.
Xiao Liulang didn't know what to say for a while.
After all... This is the third time because she has avoided disaster.
The two went home.
The old lady got up and was sitting in the hall sulking.
Yesterday, Gu Jiao thought that things would end very early. She and Xiao Liulang would be able to get back before the snow, so they only left a lunch in the pot. Unexpectedly, the masters of the academy would come to trouble and pester Xiao Liulang. Asked about the snow.
In order to avoid the bad luck in the dream, she could only take Xiao Liulang to stay in the town.
The old lady doesn't know how to burn fire. Last night, she ate cold steamed buns, and this morning, she ate cold steamed buns again. Her teeth were about to burst!
Gu Jiao was very puzzled. You said that when you are a poor old lady, why can't you set fire to it? Are you the old lady of a big family, or are you the empress dowager
Gu Jiao silently took out a pack of candied fruit and a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "You are allowed to eat two more today."
Old lady: "No! Five!"
Gu Jiao: "Three."
Old lady: "Deal!"
The old lady hugged the candied fruit and sweet-scented osmanthus cake, turned her back, and started eating.
The arrest of Gu Dashun and Zhou Clan Liu Clan has already spread in the village, and even the neighboring village has come to watch the fun. They don't know what this incident has to do with Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao, so they all went to Gu's house. The old house inquired about the news.
At noon, two arresters came to the door. They came to look for Gu Jiao.
It turned out that after Zhou and Liu were taken to the yamen, they honestly explained the origin of the silver under severe interrogation: it fell from the person who fought with the little fool. I had returned to the village with some money in my pocket.
"Ah, so that's the case. I said how come I didn't see the two aunts when I went back." Gu Jiao said with a sudden realization.
Zhu Kuai looked at him: "Why did you fight?"
Gu Jiao said coldly, "He hit me! Bullied me! He even scolded me!"
After being hit and scolded by others, I chased and chopped down a few streets with a sickle. Girl, you are a hero.
If someone else did this, the arresters would be suspicious. However, they had already learned from the mouths of Zhou and Liu that Gu Jiao was an idiot, and that an idiot's behavior could not be judged by common sense.
Therefore, even here, no one suspects that Gu Jiao deliberately squatted there and waited for the rabbit, and also deliberately drove the thief away, leaving the silver for the Zhou family to covet. Even Zhou's Liu's thought everything was just an accident.
Only Xiao Liulang felt that everything was a coincidence.
"That person may be the thief, what happened to him in the end?" Zhu Kuai said.
"He ran away." Gu Jiao spread her hands.
"Do you still remember what he looked like?" Chau Kuai asked again.
"He looks... um..." Gu Jiao gestured as she recalled. Another catcher was a yamen painter. He drew the appearance of the thief, "Is that so?"
"Well..." Gu Jiao frowned.
At this time, Xiao Liulang came out with a portrait.
Gu Jiao's eyes lit up: "Yes! It's this person!"
Chu Kuai and the painter exchanged an embarrassing look. The dignified Yamen painter could not draw a single student. Does it feel like his job has been smashed
After getting the portrait, the yamen quickly solved the case.
However, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu were not immediately released by the yamen, because when the yamen's arresting fast approached the Gu family and asked them where the money came from, they swear and insisted that they were selling mountain goods by themselves.
The amount is huge, plus lying and refusing to pay, it properly constitutes the crime of embezzlement. One person was fined 22 taels of silver and beaten 30 big boards.
As for Gu Dashun, his mother and second aunt did this kind of scandal, the family style was not right, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame.
