The next day it was dark, and everyone in the family got up early.
In the past, Gu Jiao was the first to get up, but when she walked out of the house today, she found that Yao Shi, Lao Jijiu, Fangmao, and Yu Ya'er were all gathered in the main room.
Not only that, Eunuch Qin also came.
what's the situation
"Morning." Gu Jiao greeted.
Seeing the "birthmark" on her face, everyone sighed.
Gu Jiao: What's the matter with you guys looking a little disappointed? Is my status in the family already so low? You don't miss seeing me
Everyone exchanged glances that knew each other well, so after Gu Jiao drank a bowl of tonic soup, Xiao Liulang also had another bowl of tonic soup in front of him at breakfast.
Eunuch Qin specially emphasized: "It's venison soup, men eat very well!"
Xiao Liulang: "..."
The breath in Xiao Liulang's heart was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.
When someone was lying down last night, he really thought she was ready to tease her to the end, he hesitated for a while out of conscience, and then there was someone's small snoring.
He stayed on the spot!
It was him who was teased, and it was also him who couldn't eat his mouth when he got angry. In the end, it was him who was misunderstood... Where can I make sense
Xiao Liulang drank the venison soup with a dark face.
Eunuch Qin returned to the palace with a smile.
After a long journey of a day and a night, the Ministry of Household and the officials of the Hanlin Academy finally arrived in the capital this morning. The Minister of the Ministry did not dare to delay, and dragged his two broken legs to return to the emperor.
He did not arrange anything wrong with Xiao Liulang, nor did he deliberately discredit Xiao Liulang's credit. First, there was an accompanying Hanlin official who made a special trip to record the trip, and second, Xuanping Hou was standing on the Golden Palace.
That's right, this guy who never goes to bed early and only sleeps late is coming to go early today for the first time in history.
The Minister of the Ministry of Housing did not have a bad impression of Xiao Liulang, but he received an order from Mrs. Zhuang to give credit to the Anjun King as much as possible. As for Xiao Liulang, there is no need to mention it.
But... The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce thought of his experience of almost breaking his leg, and he had no doubt that he dared to say a few words about Xiao Liulang, and the Marquis of Xuan Ping could unload his leg in front of His Majesty.
The Minister of the Household reported truthfully.
The performances of Xiao Liulang and Anjun Wang are both commendable and they have made contributions. Although the Minister of the Household intends to give Anjun Wang more opportunities to make contributions, Xiao Liulang is actually doing too much in the countryside.
The emperor heard it well, both of them are the pillars of the Zhao Kingdom. Among the top three, the champion and the second place have already begun to emerge in the six divisions, and Tanhualang is still unknown.
But this can't be rushed. After all, Xiao Liulang and An Junwang both have backstage support, so they don't worry about being suppressed by others. Ning Zhiyuan's background is a little worse, and he still needs to hone his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.
The emperor gave Xiao Liulang and Anjun Wang a pair of calligraphy, and asked Eunuch Wei to send them to the Hanlin Academy in a while.
After going down to court, the emperor returned to Huaqing Palace.
"Your Majesty." A little nun came over with a food box, gave him a salute, and said, "The concubine made some snacks by herself, and asked the poor nun to bring them to the majesty. By the way, the concubine also let the poor I asked Your Majesty how well recently, I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few days, and the concubine is very worried about it."
The emperor was slightly startled.
yes.
He hadn't visited his mother-in-law for a few days.
This was simply impossible before.
As long as the mother-in-law is in the palace, he will go to greet him every day.
Could it be that he is still angry that the mother-in-law concealed his relationship with Gu Chao
Although the mother-in-law finally chose him, he still has a lump in his heart
"Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong, the poor nun will retire first." The little nun handed the snack to Eunuch Wei, who was standing beside him, then turned around and retired.
The emperor glanced at the food box in Eunuch Wei's hand.
Eunuch Wei understood, opened the lid, and said, "Your Majesty, it's jujube pastry."
This is his favorite snack, and Concubine Jing learned from the royal chef in order to make it for him by herself.
He remembered the days when Empress Dowager Zhuang was put into the cold palace, the days when he, Concubine Jing and Ning An were excluded from others. There was not even a decent hot dish on his birthday, so his concubine went to the tree to beat the dates. , made a jujube paste with crisp dates.
It didn't taste very good, but it was the best taste he could remember at the time.
The emperor picked up a piece of jujube paste and tasted it.
It was also made of crisp dates, and the images in his memory flooded into his mind, and he sighed a long time: "Go to the nunnery and talk to the mother-in-law, and I will go to accompany her for dinner at night."
"...Yes." Eunuch Wei responded.
The second owner recently recruited another doctor. To be precise, a doctor was hired from Huichuntang. He was swept out of the house by Huichuntang. Everyone was waiting to see him laughing, but he took Miaoshoutang to rise in the capital. .
The business of Miaoshoutang is getting bigger and bigger, and there are not many doctors who want to defect to him in private. After careful selection, he fell in love with a doctor named Miao.
The medical skills are good, mainly because of the excellent character.
The Er Dong family dug for a long time before convincing Doctor Miao.
After Dr. Miao came, he took on a lot of outpatient work, so Gu Jiao was not so busy here.
Gu Jiao went to the old beggar to play chess today, but to his surprise, the old beggar was not there.
After waiting for a while, Gu Jiao put on a mask and went to the martial arts gym instead.
"Brother Gu!"
A middle-aged man with a pot belly and a red face stopped her.
Gu Jiao looked at him and asked with her eyes - is something wrong
Her attitude is not warm, even cold.
However, the other party didn't mind, but anyone who has seen Gu Jiao compete in martial arts knows how irritable she is, and being willing to communicate with her is already a face.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Little brother, I have seen every competition of yours. You are very courageous, your style of play is very arrogant, and you have made great progress. With all due respect, this kind of small martial arts hall is no longer suitable for you. Strength, are you interested in trying elsewhere?"
It turned out to be to dig the foot of the wall.
Gu Jiao looked at him, took out a small notebook and wrote, "Where are you talking about a decent expert?"
Listen, listen, what kind of arrogant little tone is this
However, he loves it!
This young man does have arrogant capital.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Of course there is, I wonder if you dare to go?"
Gu Jiao wrote lightly, "Could it be the underworld?"
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man was amused by Gu Jiao's arrogance and humor, "Don't worry, little brother, why would I let you go to that kind of place for such a good seedling? Not much more to say, I'll take my little brother directly. Go over there!"
Gu Jiao left the martial arts hall and asked the third son to go back first. She took the middle-aged man's carriage to an embroidery building in the north of the city.
This is Gu Jiao's first visit to the north of the city.
Bishui Hutong belongs to the south of the city, and the Ding'an Houfu is to the southeast, and her outpatient visits are mostly from the south to the east of the city.
Everything here makes Gu Jiao feel unfamiliar, but there is an inexplicable attraction.
Gu Jiao followed the middle-aged man through the embroidery building and came to a dyeing workshop, and the underground of the dyeing workshop was an underground martial arts field.
From the mouth of the middle-aged man, Gu Jiao learned that the martial arts field had no name, and when people mentioned it, they only said that it was from the Narcissus Embroidery Building.
The martial arts field is very large, almost the size of four Taihe martial arts halls. If Gu Jiao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone had built such a huge underground place under the emperor's feet.
In the center of the martial arts field are four martial arts stands, which are the same as the martial arts hall, and there are countless wing rooms around them. The middle-aged man did not say what they were used for.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and pointed: "Have you seen those houses with gourds hanging on the doors, don't go in."
Why? Gu Jiao asked with her eyes.
The middle-aged man explained: "It's a master's house. If you break in rashly, you'll be beaten to death."
So here it is possible to kill.
The four competition stages were all competing. Compared with Taihe Martial Arts Hall, the competitions here were much bloodier and more violent. The air was full of pungent blood, and Gu Jiao felt that the blood all over her body was boiling.
The violent factor is about to move again.
Gu Jiao restrained her desire to kill, and led the middle-aged man to an accounting room in the east end.
"Yo, look who Lao He has fooled over again today?" A young man who was sorting out the account books raised his head and gave Gu Jiao a meaningful look, "Such a tender young master, Lao He, can you bear it? Aren't you afraid that he will be attacked? Killed?"
Therefore, it is also possible to die in the ring.
Gu Jiao has a clearer understanding of the underground martial arts field.
"Bet fifty taels of silver first!" the young man said to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao frowned, do you want money
"I'll come! I'll pay for this money for my little brother!" The middle-aged man generously took out a fifty tael silver note and slapped it on the table.
The young man's gaze towards Gu Jiao was even more intriguing: "It seems that you have some ability to let this iron cock pluck your hair. Well, I will take good care of you and try not to let you die. Too early."
"Can I have a look around?" Gu Jiao wrote in her notebook.
Old He said: "Yes! But remember what I just said, don't go near the house with the gourd hanging on the door."
Gu Jiao nodded.
She went out of the account.
Behind him came the voice of the young man and the old man talking.
"No, you really want this kid to compete? He's thinner than me! He's still a mute! You don't remember the lesson from the last time? I brought back a master who said he was a master, and he killed him with one punch!"
"You believe my vision this time, don't rank too hard in the first game, let him practice his hands first..."
As Gu Jiao walked away gradually, the conversation between the two was gradually drowned out by the shouts under the competition stage.
On the first day Gu Jiao came, she just wanted to get acquainted with the environment, but she didn't expect to see an acquaintance here.
A man wearing a black cloak walked past, wrapped tightly so that his face could not be seen, but the moment the other party opened the door, the cap of the cloak fell off.
Gu Jiao took a closer look, is it her
There is a quiz, who is this person
a.Princess
b. Concubine Jing
