Gu Jiao didn't say that he guessed wrong, she is not good at arguing with others, and this is not something she cares about.
In addition to the dormitory assignment, Zhong Ding also told the two of the time and place of their class, and told them to remember to come to class tomorrow morning and not be late.
"If you are late, you will be demerited. Tianqiong Academy has strict rules, and you will be expelled from the school if you record more than three demerits."
After listening to him for so long, I finally got important information.
No demerits can be remembered, and he cannot be expelled. After all, Tianqiong Academy is the only way for Gu Jiao to stay in Yan Kingdom.
After coming out of the East Courtyard, Gu Xiaoshun still wanted to see the South Courtyard, but Gu Jiao didn't really want to go: "It's all the same, nothing to see."
Gu Xiaoshun thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he was right. He and his sister were both from Zhao State. Could the dormitory assigned to them be so different
"Then let's hurry up and meet with Mistress and the others."
Gu Xiaoshun was called Shi Niang Shifu in front of others, and only when he was alone with Nan Xiang did he call him Mom and Dad.
The two returned to the back door of Tianqiong Academy.
To be honest, aside from the purpose of Gu Yan's surgery, Gu Jiao is indeed very interested in the prosperity of the Yan Kingdom, but she has no intention of going to the mountains and waters until the matter of Gu Yan is settled.
Nan Shi Niang and Lu Shifu's carriages were already parked nearby.
Gu Xiaoshun took the pair of cards and took their carriage over, and said painfully: "Sister, just stopped for a while, they charged me a coin, the country of Yan is too expensive, it really needs money everywhere!"
Gu Jiao raised her hand and touched a leaf off his shoulder: "It's okay, it's just a coin."
Gu Xiaoshun said: "I still have to save some money, and I have to keep the money for Gu Yan's treatment."
Before they set off, they didn't know that the price of Yan Kingdom was so high, especially the price of Shengdu. A steamed bun is two dollars, a big meat bun is three dollars, and a mutton bun is four dollars...
Nan Shi Niang lived in Shengdu more than ten years ago, but wasn't it three buns for one dollar at that time, why did it rise so much
"It's okay, I also have some money in the bank." Nan Shi Niang said to Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Jiao didn't meet Nan Shi Niang, but even if Nan Shi Niang was added, it would not be enough for them to spend for a long time. It seemed that she had to find a way to make some money.
This is a later story, let's solve the immediate problem first.
Since entering the territory of Yan Kingdom, Gu Jiao has been inquiring about the operating room along the way, and no medical center has the operating room that Gu Jiao needs.
Either the operating room has not been built, or the things in the operating room are too shocking and cannot be known to the outside world.
Gu Jiao hoped it was the latter.
In this way, at least Gu Yan still has hope.
Nan Shi Niang said: "I have already found the house. It is not far from the academy. Go out through the back door and walk a mile forward."
It was a mansion with barely two entrances. It had a front and back yard, and the back yard was connected to the stove and firewood. The area was not large, but it was enough for a few of them.
There are three wing rooms, a small study room, one for Nan Shi Niang and Master Lu, one for Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan, and the rest is for Gu Jiao.
"Master, how much is the rent for this house in January?" Gu Xiaoshun asked.
Nan Shi Niang smiled: "Not much, one hundred taels per month."
"What? One hundred taels!" Gu Xiaoshun was dumbfounded!
Nan Shi Niang was amused by his dazed look: "The houses near the academy are all rented out, one room is less than twenty taels a month, we have four rooms in total, as well as the stove house, the firewood house, the front and rear two rooms. A yard, one hundred taels is not expensive."
Gu Xiaoshun was speechless: "Bishui Hu is so much bigger than here, and the clearance is only 30 taels, and the area near Guozijian is also good."
In just one day's work, Gu Xiaoshun also began to understand how to compare locations.
If Zhao Kingdom also has inner and outer cities, then the Bishui Hutong where they live is definitely part of the inner city, while the Suzaku Street where Princess Xinyang lives is very close to the imperial palace and is the inner city within the inner city.
Gu Jiao said: "It's okay, you can earn more money, go and pack your things first."
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoshun replied Ma Liuer.
"Let's clean up. Are you going to class tomorrow? Go and prepare the things for class first."
"There is nothing to prepare, the book will be picked up in the classroom tomorrow."
"Then you can rest for a while." The two children were so tired along the way that Nan Shi Niang felt distressed and would not let them do anything else.
Gu Jiao had to give up, paused, and said, "Then I'll go and find out about the nearby medical clinic."
"Sister, I am with you."
"it is good."
The siblings walked around the streets all day, and asked the locals about the largest medical clinics in the outer city of Shengdu. As a result, there were no so-called operating rooms there, and no doctors in the medical clinics had seen or heard of it. through the equipment on the drawings.
In the evening, the two returned to the yard sweating profusely.
The food was ready, and it was the favorite taste of several children, except that Gu Yan opened a small stove alone.
Gu Yan looked at the steamed meat in front of him that wished to fade out the birds, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Nan Shi Niang also poured soup for Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun, and asked, "Did you find anything today?"
"Thank you Nan Shi Niang." Gu Jiao took the soup bowl and said, "As usual, I didn't hear anything."
Nan Shi Niang is not too surprised: "Are you sure what you want is in the state of Yan?"
"I've seen its drawings, and I'm sure there are people in Yan Kingdom who know those things. As for whether it's built or not, I'm not sure."
Nan Shi Niang thought for a while: "Otherwise... Let's go to the inner city to see? After all, the outer city is for ordinary people to live in. The best medical centers and the most skilled doctors are all in the inner city."
"It's hard to enter the inner city." Master Lu gave Nan Shi Niang a piece of braised pork.
"That's true." Nan Shi Niang frowned.
Gu Jiao took a sip of the soup and said, "I'll go around the inner city wall in a while to see if there is a chance to sneak in."
Nan Shi Niang felt that it was very risky to do so, but considering Gu Yan's condition, she realized that they did not have time to wait all the time.
She nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, it's easier to hide alone, and my wife is still at home to help me take care of Ayan."
It is a great favor for Nan Shi Niang to accompany them to Yan Kingdom. How could she let Nan Shi Niang enter the inner city with her to take risks
Nan Shi Niang opened her mouth.
Master Lu advised, "Just listen to Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is smart and alert, she does things in a measured way, and she won't be rash and reckless. Instead, it's you, it's better for Jiaojiao to keep her composure."
Nan Shi Niang's face sank: "Are you itchy?"
Master Lu cleared his throat shyly: "Eat, eat!"
Dinner was early, and it was still bright after dinner, but Gu Yan was already exhausted, so Gu Jiao sent him back to his room to rest.
Gu Yan was lying on the hospital bed weakly, unable to do anything, she could only watch Gu Jiao run around desperately for him.
He was suddenly distressed.
Gu Jiao took his temperature and blood pressure, packed the small medicine box, and said, "Don't think about it, I'll be back when I go."
Gu Jiao put the night clothes and mask in a small bag and tied it to her body, and went out to get on the carriage.
Gu Xiaoshun sent her to the vicinity of the inner city wall.
Gu Jiao jumped out of the carriage: "Okay, I'll send it here, you can go back quickly."
Gu Xiaoshun said, "Sister, be careful!"
Gu Jiao hummed: "I know."
After Gu Xiaoshun left, Gu Jiao observed around the inner city wall for a long time, and finally found a carriage that was parked on the side of the road but was about to enter the inner city.
After Gu Jiao came to the carriage, she got into the bottom of the carriage when she was unprepared, grabbed the bars on the bottom of the carriage with both hands, hooked the hub of the carriage with her feet, and stuck her whole body on it.
This method is actually quite risky, but Gu Jiao's luck seems to be good. When entering the inner city, the carriage was not checked up and down.
Just as Gu Jiao was thinking about finding a street with few people and falling down, but who would have guessed that the carriage was running on all streets and pedestrians on both sides.
Gu Jiao gritted her teeth.
She waits.
She continued to wait.
The pose was a bit laborious, and she was soaked with sweat.
The carriage went a few more streets, and finally it was no longer a busy avenue.
But before Gu Jiao got out of the car, the carriage drove into a big house on the side of the road.
Gu Jiao: "..."
Why is it said to be a big mansion, because after going in for a long time, Gu Jiao's brains were almost scattered before the carriage finally stopped.
The people on the carriage came down and instructed several servants: "Move everything to the warehouse."
"Yes, Master."
The next man answered.
Gu Jiao waited patiently for the people to empty the carriage, leaving the coachman alone to unload the horse on the spot.
Gu Jiao resisted the pain all over her body and fell silently from the bottom of the car.
She felt that her body was no longer her own, and her fingers and abdomen were almost numb.
Now she has to get out of here quickly.
After the coachman unloaded the harness, he led the horse to the water tank beside him. He was about to start brushing the horse.
Gu Jiao took advantage of her unpreparedness to leave the stable.
She wanted to find the nearest way out, but she was stunned when she saw it.
What the hell is this place
Can't see the wall!
"there!"
Suddenly, a murderous man's voice sounded, and Gu Jiao felt a familiar and terrifying aura.
Dragon Shadow Guard!
Or to be more precise, the dead man of Yan State.
The Zhaoguo Longyingwei was domesticated by the dead soldiers of the Yan country, but there are still significant differences between the two. The Zhaoguo Longyingwei could not speak or communicate, but was only a tool used by the former emperor to perform tasks.
Not all of Yan's dead men were like this.
Did you find out by yourself
Behind him was the stable, and there were dead soldiers from the Yan Kingdom coming from the front and the right, so Gu Jiao could only flee to the left.
wall!
Her eyes lit up, her toes a little, and she jumped up, holding the wall with one hand and jumping over.
However-
She did not leave the house, but entered a small courtyard in the compound.
This luck!
Is Xiao Heng possessed
Could it be that she used his name, so even his bad luck was shared
"Don't forget the things I asked you to prepare. If the lady knows that you are lazy, I can't keep you."
"Sister Forsythia, please rest assured, we will not be lazy!"
A few little maids were about to walk around the corridor towards Gu Jiao's direction. Gu Jiao closed her eyes and had no choice but to push the door and enter a room.
A warm scent of incense and medicine came to her nostrils. Gu Jiao was a doctor, so she was not insensitive to this smell.
There are patients.
"You guys, come in with me and see!"
"Stop! What are you doing?"
"Ma'am, it seems that an outsider has broken into the house just now, and we are searching."
"How did you get here? Is this a place you can go in casually?"
"Mrs. Pardon."
"I'll go in and see, you guys are waiting outside."
"Yes."
Not long after the conversation fell, Gu Jiao could clearly hear the woman's footsteps coming towards the room where she was.
Gu Jiao slapped her forehead with a slap.
A little bit like that!
The cabinet is too full, the bottom of the bed is too narrow, the tablecloth is too short, the beams…
She won't be light-hearted and won't be able to get on the beam!
Gu Jiao came to the bed, opened the curtain, looked at the middle-aged man sleeping on the bed, and said, "Offended!"
She climbed into the bed, thought about it, pulled the quilt and got in.
In order not to expose herself, she had to get as close to him and stick to him as possible.
The man was thin, exuding a faint cold and medicinal fragrance.
The woman entered the house.
"Forsythia!"
The woman's tone was not pleasant.
The maid who was called Forsythia hurriedly walked over: "Madam!"
"What have you been doing? Why didn't you stay in the room?" the woman asked.
Forsythia hurriedly said: "The servant went to bring the medicine, so I went."
Gu Jiao listened carefully to the conversation between the two and held her breath quietly.
The woman gently opened the curtain.
Gu Jiao could feel the woman's gaze cast towards him.
The woman was dissatisfied and said, "Why are you covering such a thick quilt?"
Gu Jiao: No, you're not going to lift his quilt, are you
"It was ordered by the doctor." Forsythia said.
The woman came to the bed, put her hand into the quilt, and touched the man's hand.
Gu Jiao touched the man's other hand with her fingertips without a trace.
Very cold and not thickly covered.
The woman sighed and put the man's hand back on the quilt.
"No strange things happened in the yard?" the woman asked.
"No, ma'am." Forsythia said.
After that, the woman asked a few more questions about the man's diet and daily life. Forsythia's answer was probably the same as yesterday.
Then the woman left.
"Phew, scared me to death." Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman instructed Forsythia to keep watch over the man, but the girl named Forsythia slipped away after less than a quarter of an hour.
Gu Jiao lifted the quilt and sat up, took a few breaths, got out of bed, and covered the man with the quilt.
Then she turned around and went out.
In the twilight, the man's fingertips suddenly moved.
