After coming out of the hospital, Gu Jiao got on the carriage of the third son and went to Liu Yisheng's house.
Liu Yisheng's family was as poor as ever, but he did not see Liu Yisheng sitting in the yard and rubbing ears as usual several times.
Only the dumb boy named Anu and another elderly old lady were working in the front yard, one weaving baskets and the other rubbing tassels.
The two recognized Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao said, "I'm looking for Liu Yisheng, is he there?"
The old mama was deaf, unable to hear, Anu pointed to a room inside.
"Thank you." Gu Jiao thanked her, walked into the main room, and then turned around and entered the other hut pointed out by Anu.
This is a study room, which is also Liu Yisheng's bedroom. It is about the same size as Xiao Liulang and Xiaojingkong's Westinghouse. The furnishings are very old and simple.
There are also some tattered furniture that I don't know if they were picked up from outside, or if someone broke into the house and smashed it. In short, it is full of holes and cracks.
Liu Yisheng, dressed in sackcloth and linen, sat behind the desk and read the book attentively.
Gu Jiao recognized that this was the book she gave him last time.
He really started reading.
Gu Jiao didn't bother him, and leaned against the door with her arms in her arms.
Liu Yisheng was immersed in the sea of books, and he didn't realize that Gu Jiao was coming. It was the old lady outside who accidentally knocked over a stool and made a huge collision, and he raised his head in shock.
Then he saw Gu Jiao, who was leaning against the door lightly, looking at him with ease.
Generally speaking, it is very embarrassing to see a person being caught by the other party, and you will look away subconsciously.
Gu Jiao did not.
She was very magnanimous. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you disturb you?"
"No... It's not you." Liu Yisheng hid the surprise in his eyes, opened the window beside him and looked out, making sure that the old mama was all right before he was relieved.
"Why are you here?" He closed the book and looked at his room cautiously, wondering if there was any unsightly mess in his room.
Fortunately not.
Mammy and Anu just cleaned up this morning.
"You..." He hesitated for a while, and wanted to invite the other party in, but he felt that it seemed inappropriate, so he stood up and said, "Go to the main room and sit."
Gu Jiao nodded.
You can sit wherever you want.
Although there are two servants in Liu Yisheng's family, one is old and deaf and the other cannot speak. Liu Yisheng entertains the guests in person.
Of course, there had never been any other guests in his family, and Gu Jiao was the only one.
Yuan Tang cannot be counted as a guest.
"Sit." Liu Yisheng pointed to the chair and said.
Gu Jiao sat down.
A white shadow swooped over and jumped onto Gu Jiao's lap, her plump body was round and fluffy, and she obediently asked Gu Jiao to rub her.
Gu Jiao poked her soft belly with her fingertips, and said amusedly, "Do you still remember me?"
This white cat was the cat that almost frightened Xiao Liulang and bumped into Princess Ning again, and was caught by Yuan Tang in time. Yuan Tang saw that she liked Gu Jiao, and the white cat also liked Gu Jiao, so he lied that it was no The master's cat, let Gu Jiao take it home and raise it.
Gu Jiao didn't take it away.
Of course, Gu Jiao had already guessed that it was Yuan Tang's cat, and she clearly poked it in front of Yuan Tang.
She thought Yuan Tang would take her cat back.
"You're still here." Gu Jiao curved the corners of her lips, and she felt very comfortable licking the cat.
Liu Yisheng looked at the way she was having a good time with the white cat, and couldn't help but ask, "If you like it so much, why didn't you bring it back?"
Her husband is afraid of cats.
This man is not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, not afraid of death, but he is afraid of cats.
Gu Jiao didn't answer him, but said, "No, you are well raised." After a pause, she turned to look at him, "Don't you like cats?"
Liu Yisheng lowered his eyes and said, "No, I like it very much. It can also catch mice. After it came, there are no mice in the house."
Gu Jiao tapped its belly: "Are you able to do that?"
The white cat meows proudly.
"Does it have a name?" Gu Jiao suddenly asked.
Liu Yisheng was asked.
It's just a cat, do you still need a name
Gu Jiao actually has no experience in raising pets, but Xiao Jingkong even had to name the seven chickens she kept, so she subconsciously thought that this white cat also had to have a name.
Liu Yisheng's face was a little embarrassed.
He also said that he likes to keep cats, but he didn't even give the cat a name.
Liu Yisheng's eyes flashed and he said, "I've thought about it a few times, but I don't know which one to call."
Gu Jiao looked at him: "Come and listen."
Named Waste Liu Yisheng: "..."
Liu Yisheng had an idea and said, "Why don't you get one, after all, it's your cat, it's just temporarily put in foster care with me."
"Alright." Gu Jiao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Call Xiao Shi."
There are nine divine beasts in the family, and this is the top ten.
"Okay, let's call Xiao Shi." Liu Yisheng had no objection at all.
"Are you here to see Xiao Shi today?" he asked, standing up and pouring water for Gu Jiao.
"I came to see you too." Gu Jiao said.
Liu Yisheng's hand shaking when pouring the water, spilled a drop on the table. He took the handkerchief and wiped it away without a trace, and put the poured tea in Gu Jiao's hand: "You are really busy."
Gu Jiao took off the small backpack and took several thick books from it: "Here."
The last time I gave Liu Yisheng the four books, this time I brought the Five Classics and two books on arithmetic.
They are all annotated ones, which are very suitable for self-study readers.
"You..." Liu Yisheng hesitated.
Gu Jiao could almost imagine what he was going to say: "I know, you can't afford it, it's not like giving you books for free. These are all Xiao Shi's food expenses. Xiao Shi is so fat, he can eat very well at first glance."
The white cat meowed resentfully.
Liu Yisheng sighed, "You will regret it if you lose the bet."
It is impossible for him to honor the prime minister in his life.
Liu Yisheng struggled for a moment, and finally accepted the books, but he secretly wrote down the value of these books, and he would always return them to her one day in the future.
Liu Yisheng stroked the cover of the book and said, "I borrowed these books from you, and I will pay you back when I earn money."
"It's up to you." Gu Jiao said carelessly, only a few books, and she didn't lack any money, just to take care of his incomparably strong self-esteem, she didn't refuse on the spot.
At this time, Gu Jiao would not know that one day many years later, Liu Yisheng really returned the money for the books, but not with money.
A book, a city.
Eleven of them paid her back half of the country.
"If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Gu Jiao said confidently and generously when she saw Liu Yisheng flipping through the two arithmetic books.
"Ah, good." Liu Yisheng asked for advice humbly, and took out a bunch of first drafts of eight-legged essays from the room.
Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "... Or, you can also not ask me."
Liu Yisheng: "..."
Gu Jiao licked the cat for a while, and at the end she wanted to suck the cat, but she held back.
"I actually have one more thing to do today."
I almost forgot my business with the cat, the cat's color misunderstood me!
"What's the matter?" Liu Yisheng asked.
"It's about Yuan Tang." Gu Jiao said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Tang's voice sounded from another room, "About this Highness?"
Gu Jiao frowned strangely.
Liu Yisheng explained: "He just came here and sleeps in the woodshed."
Gu Jiao looked at Yuan Tang with an inexplicable look on her face: "Don't sleep in the good palace, come to the firewood room to sleep, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Tang covered her face with a folding fan and yawned, strode over, and sat down opposite Gu Jiao: "As long as you are close to cousin, what does it matter when you sleep in the woodshed?"
Liu Yisheng said to Gu Jiao, "I thought he wouldn't wake up, so I didn't tell you."
He didn't expect Gu Jiao to suddenly mention Yuan Tang. If he had known this, he would have reminded her. After all, it would be embarrassing to talk about the other party being caught by the master behind his back.
Liu Yisheng thought too much, Gu Jiao was not embarrassed at all, Gu Jiao snorted and said to Yuan Tang, "It's just right."
Yuan Tang hooked her lips into a smile: "What? Do you miss my Highness?"
Liu Yisheng's eyes turned cold.
Yuan Tang hurriedly said to him: "Don't be angry, it's just a joke, I only have my cousin in my heart, and I can't pretend to be someone else."
Liu Yisheng was obviously accustomed to his brazenness and glib tongue, and turned around coldly and ignored him.
Yuan Tang smiled and said, "Doctor Gu, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Gu Jiao didn't speak, she stretched out a hand and grabbed Yuan Tang's chin, turned his face to the left, and really saw the scratches and redness hidden by her hair.
It's just that you probably rubbed the medicine, it's not as obvious as Princess Rui said, but you can still see the traces.
Yuan Tang did not resist, and looked playfully at Liu Yisheng on the side: "Cousin, this is her molesting me, not me taking the initiative to seduce her."
"Shut your mouth!" Liu Yisheng said angrily.
Gu Jiao asked, "How did you get the injury on your face?"
Yuan Tang raised her eyebrows and said, "You care about me so much?"
Liu Yisheng said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yuan Tang shrugged helplessly, pointed at the big white cat on Gu Jiao's lap with a folding fan and said, "How else could it be done? It scratches!"
Gu Jiao looked at the white cat on her lap: "Did you scratch it?"
The white cat closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Liu Yisheng said: "It scratched, I saw it."
Gu Jiao asked, "When did you scratch?"
Liu Yisheng said: "Last night, when he climbed over the wall and entered the house, the white cat thought that a thief had entered, so he scratched his paw."
I can't see how fierce this little thing is.
Yuan Tang looked at the white cat resentfully: "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I forgot who raised you in the past!"
Liu Yisheng will not lie to her, and according to Gu Jiao's observation, the marks on Yuan Tang's face are indeed not like finger marks, but more like scratches and scratches caused by sharp claws.
Of course, another situation cannot be ruled out—that slap didn't leave too many marks, and the swelling disappeared immediately after applying ice.
Yuan Tang looked at Gu Jiao, who was in deep thought, and said, "Hey, why are you looking at me like this? Are you Zhao people so strange today? First Princess Rui saw me, and she was startled and screamed by my injured face, and then It's you holding my face again and doing something to me."
Liu Yisheng annoyed him to death: "Who is doing something to you, and if you keep your mouth shut, don't come next time."
Yuan Tang hesitated: "Okay, don't say it, don't say it!"
It's not Yuan Tang, the direction of this matter has become a little strange.
Although Wen Linlang has nothing to do with her, she has broken through the other party's secret. If the other party finds out about this, it is very likely to be detrimental to her and Princess Rui.
Therefore, it is better to find that person as soon as possible.
Gu Jiao looked at Yuan Tang for a moment and asked, "Do you know the Crown Princess?"
Yuan Tang said, "Which country's crown princess are you talking about?"
Gu Jiao said, "Prince Concubine Zhao Kingdom."
Yuan Tang raised his eyebrows meaningfully: "Oh, that fiancee of the little Marquis of Zhaodu, know, what's the matter?"
"It's the ex-fiancee, they're fine now." Gu Jiao corrected Yuan Tang and asked again, "Did you see her yesterday?"
Because of being asked, Yuan Tang didn't care why she was correcting herself for a while, Yuan Tang spread her hands and said, "Why should I go to see her? I'm not familiar with her! Wait, why are you asking that? You should Don't you suspect that I have an unclear relationship with her?"
This Yuan Tang is not stupid.
Yuan Tang smiled, and after laughing, he raised his fingers and said solemnly: "Cousin is here, I simply opened the skylight to say something bright, I did assassinate the emperor of your Zhao Kingdom, but I am absolutely absolutely with your Zhao Kingdom's crown princess. It doesn't matter! I swear to God! If I tell a lie, I won't be able to bring my cousin back to Chen Country in my life!"
What kind of oath is this
Liu Yisheng said indifferently: "If you lie, you will not be the prince of Chen State."
Yuan Tang's face was hurt: "It's too poisonous! Are you still my cousin?"
Yuan Tang didn't look like he was lying.
It's just that Yuan Tang's suspicion is the biggest in terms of motivation, martial arts, criminal convictions, etc.
Just when Gu Jiao was about to ask him for his alibi yesterday morning, there was a strange movement outside the house.
Gu Jiao moved her ears, picked up the teacup in her hand, and threw it out the door!
Just heard a crisp sound, and an arrow was knocked to the ground by the teacup.
The dumb slave in the yard stood up abruptly, picked up the old granny who hadn't heard any movement at all, and carried her back into the room.
As soon as the two entered the room, Yuan Tang got up and closed the door of the main room, and the bolt was also inserted!
At almost the same time, a whole row of arrows sounded on the door panel, and one of the arrows broke through the door halfway, almost stabbing Yuan Tang's stomach.
Yuan Tang twitched the corners of his mouth as he looked at the arrow that almost ripped open his belly.
"No, cousin, what have you been up to lately? In the past, those people from Zhao Kingdom just came to your house to smash them, but now they're going to kill you?"
As soon as Yuan Tang's voice fell, another arrow broke through the air.
This time from the back door.
The back door can't be closed because there is no back door at all...
However, the person the arrow aimed at was not Liu Yisheng.
For a moment, Gu Jiao thought that the other party was coming at her, until the arrow accurately plunged into Yuan Tang's folding fan.
It wasn't that the fan was blocking fast, he was kicked out!
Yuan Tang was stunned: "... What's the situation? Did you come for me?"
Several arrows were shot from behind, all aimed at Yuan Tang.
Gu Jiao looked deeply at the direction of the back door, her eyes moved: "Okay, your suspicion has been ruled out."
Yuan Tang dodged arrows and ran around the room: "What do you mean?"
Obviously, some people want Yuan Tang to take the blame and give Yuan Tang a death sentence!
Jiaojiao is so smart, do you have a monthly pass
