The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and all the folks in Huichuntang were attracted.
There are only three people in Huichuntang who know Gu Jiao's medical skills: the second owner, the shopkeeper Wang, and the old doctor.
Although the rest of the people often come over to Gu Jiao, they only regard her as a family member of the patient.
The second owner and the shopkeeper Wang treated her very politely, and everyone only thought that her husband was a student of Tianxiang Academy.
Don't underestimate any scholar, the squires, non-members, and local officials in the future are likely to be them.
I just didn't expect her to do such a thing.
"I can't see that a person who is usually an honest person turns out to be a habitual thief."
"Yeah, I stole someone's jade pendant, and I also stole someone's jade wrench."
"Let me just say, her husband didn't come today, and she didn't need to take medicine. Why did she still enter the Huichun Hall? Did she target that daughter? She was chasing her in to steal things!"
"She's not afraid of hurting her husband's reputation."
"Isn't it? It's really unfortunate enough for a scholar to have such a wicked woman!"
Everyone present, except for Er Dong's family, no one believes that Gu Jiao is innocent.
Isn't this obvious? She is so poor, how could she have such a good jade pendant
"Miss, you put the jade pendant away." The little maid said, bowed and hung the jade pendant on the girl's waist.
Gu Jiao reached out to take it.
"Bold!" The little girl's eyes turned cold, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Jiao.
However, before her slap landed on Gu Jiao's face, she was beaten down by Gu Jiao's backhand.
Everyone didn't know how Gu Jiao made her move. When she reacted, the little girl was already lying on the ground, her cheeks were swollen.
The girl was also stunned.
Gu Jiao stretched out her little hand that was bruised by her years of hard work, lifted the curtain of the girl, and pulled down the jade pendant hanging from her waist.
During the whole process, Gu Jiao held her breath and didn't smell the fragrance powder on her body.
The girl stared at her with round eyes: "You... arrogant!"
A village girl in the country, unexpectedly touched her!
After taking back the jade pendant, Gu Jiao did not rush to put it in her purse, but took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and wiped the jade pendant up and down.
The girl's breathing stopped.
This village girl... is she despising her for being dirty
If Gu Jiao wants to respond to others, it must be all-round without dead ends.
The girl only felt that her chest was blocked all of a sudden, and she was about to lose her breath.
The girl gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Report me!"
"Who is going to report to the officer?"
Accompanied by a majestic yet cold male voice, the dean came over with a stern look.
Another troublesome person came, and the guys at Huichuntang gave way.
The dean entered the room, looked at the girl who was so angry that she was so angry, and looked at the maid who was lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and came to Gu Jiao's side as usual.
His position can be seen from where he stands.
He turned around and looked at the girl neither humble nor arrogant: "Is this girl going to report to the official? I don't know what happened to make the girl so angry?"
His words were polite, but his tone was not polite.
The girl frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The dean said: "I am the dean of Tianxiang Academy."
Girl: "President Li?"
Lord Dean: "It's right here."
The name of Dean Li is reverberating in the capital, of course, it is impossible for a girl not to have heard of it. Even though Dean Li returned to the small town to become a teacher, his influence in the capital is still there.
The girl was still polite to him, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "She stole something from our house, and she still hasn't returned it to me."
"I didn't steal it, the jade pendant is mine." Gu Jiao can no longer care about the girl's opinion, but she cares about the dean's opinion. She is Xiao Liulang's wife, and she doesn't want to leave a stain on the dean's heart.
"What do you say about the jade finger?" the girl asked.
"It fell into my sleeve by accident, and only found out when I got home." Gu Jiao told the truth.
The maid said angrily, "That's not what you said just now, you admit that you stole it!"
Look, that's why Gu Jiao is reluctant to explain to them, because they don't listen well at all.
"Show me the jade pendant." Dean Li said to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao handed the jade pendant to him.
Dean Li remembered that the teacher also had an identical jade pendant, and also remembered that the teacher had given Gu Xiaoshun a New Year's gift, and he probably understood what was going on.
This jade pendant was given by the teacher. As for whether it was given to Gu Jiao herself, or to Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Xiaoshun forwarded it to Gu Jiao, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that Gu Jiao definitely did not steal.
The teacher went into hiding and did not want people to know his whereabouts. Naturally, he would not move the teacher out.
He smiled lightly and said to the girl, "The girl made a mistake, this jade pendant is not yours, it was given to me by my teacher, and then I gave it to her husband."
"She... xianggong?" The girl looked at Gu Jiao up and down.
"Her husband is my direct disciple." Dean Li unilaterally declared the apprentice's sovereignty.
With that said, it's all explained.
Dean Li's mentor was an old sacrificial wine of the Imperial College, and he was highly regarded by His Majesty before he retired. It is not surprising that he would have court items in his hands.
But the girl is still a little inconceivable. How many people in the capital wanted to ask Dean Li to be a teacher, but they were all rejected by Dean Li. This little village girl is so poor, she should be married to a poor country boy, how did she fall into the eyes of Dean Li?
Just when the girl was suspicious, a man from Huichuntang ran over panting: "I found it, I found it!"
"Ah!" Gu Jiao smelled the fragrance of the powder on the jade pendant, and couldn't help sneezing again.
The jade pendant was found in the grass, and it had the same fragrance as the girl's. Compared to Gu Jiao's jade pendant, this piece was obviously more like hers.
"Is the truth revealed now?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Even if you didn't steal the jade pendant, you always stole the jade ring finger." The maid whispered.
"Stop talking, Yuru." The girl stopped her, gave Gu Jiao a complicated look, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood the girl."
"Miss!" The maid was shocked!
Her young lady is the daughter of a noble man, how could she be so humbling to a lowly village girl
Even if she was wronged, why not just return her innocence? Why do you need to apologize
The girl said to the maid, "You also quickly apologize to this girl."
"But… "
"Apologize!"
The girl's tone instantly became severe, the maid did not dare to disobey, and apologized to Gu Jiao with a dark face.
The girl turned her head to the Erdong family and said, "I hope this incident will not affect the treatment of my brother in Huichuntang."
The second owner looked at Gu Jiao calmly, saw that she had no objection, and nodded to the girl with a smile: "What did Miss Gu say? Healing of the sick."
"Thank you." The girl nodded and left with a maid with a blue nose and a swollen face.
Dean Li looked at her back and said thoughtfully, "Gu family? The Gu family in the capital?"
The second owner sighed with emotion: "In addition to the Gu family in the capital, who else can raise such a daughter of Huai Jin Huyu?"
People can not escape from doing wrong? But being able to admit his mistake and repent in time, and sincerely apologize to a humble village girl, shows that she has a noble character and is Huajin holding Yu.
What Dean Li didn't say was that the daughter's name was really Gu Jinyu.
