"What is occupation! This house is originally my son's. Before he comes back, I will help him watch it!"
Gu Qiao's house has been repaired for more than ten years. How can this newly repaired house live comfortably? There are also the newly made furniture, the newly added household items, and the new quilts, which are worth dozens of taels at least. Liu Shi's triangular eyes flashed with scorching light.
"Your son? Where is your son here? Mrs. Liu, don't you forget that your stepson and stepdaughter have long been bought out by you with five taels of silver. This house, even if we don't come back, will be with you. You have nothing to do with you!!" Gu Ye and Gu Ming, walking out of the gap made by the villagers, stared at Liu Shi with shameless eyes.
Seeing the Gu Ye brothers and sisters, Liu's expression changed several times in an instant. When the master came back, she knew that she could not get any benefit, so she got up from the ground numbly, patted the soil on her body, as if nothing had happened, and muttered: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, no. Know people's hearts. I'm not afraid that your house will be occupied by outsiders, so I can help you keep an eye on it."
"We're not blind, we can't tell the difference between good people and bad people? As for you, tell the truth, I really haven't seen a good person, but I have seen someone who wants to take advantage and wants to go crazy!" Gu Ye took the hood from the cloak from his head. down, revealing a head wearing a crystal bead flower.
The villagers looked at the little girl in front of them. She was wearing a brand new peach-red silk jacket, a silver-white ermine shoulder-to-shoulder vest, a silver-pattern embroidered butterfly silk cotton skirt, a red fire fox cape, and white fox fur on the hood. With double buns on her head, pink crystal beads and flowers, her palm-sized melon seed face, and a pair of big and smart eyes, she was full of jokes and shame at this time.
Is this the sick scorpion from Gu Qiao's family who is about to die? No way? She is obviously more beautiful and attractive than the young lady in town. Sure enough, Buddha wants gold clothes, and people want clothes.
"Little Ye Ye is back? Aunt doesn't even dare to recognize her in this outfit!" Aunt Jiu came over and looked at Gu Ye up and down, wanting to pat her on the shoulder, but she was afraid that her hands would be rough and scratched her beautiful dress.
Liu Shi pouted and said in a low voice, "If you pretend to be a lady, you won't be able to change the origin of Mud Legs!"
"Someone wants to pretend, but they don't have the capital! They can only talk sour behind their backs!" Aunt Yan glared at her fiercely, then smiled and said to Gu Ye, "Girl, I hope you come back. Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? I'll go to the kitchen to make your favorite red dates and glutinous rice cake."
Gu Ye greeted the familiar people under the surprised and envious eyes of the villagers. Then he said to Aunt Yan: "Aunt Yan, no need, just get some food first, and fill the stomach for the cashier and the uncles in the back, and at noon, I will pick up a few more dishes."
When the villagers heard the bells of the mule and horse team behind, they turned their heads and were stunned by the pile of goods on the back of the mules and horses. Li Hao's mouth was so open that he couldn't close it for a long time. He pointed to the goods and asked Gu Ming, "These dozen mules and horses are all your family's stuff? What? So many years?"
Gu Ming explained: "Except for the first mule, which was purchased by us, the rest were sent by Yancheng Jun's family and Old General Chu's family."
"Yancheng Jun's family? It's the one with two generations of emperors and one generation of great scholars?" Uncle Gu San asked excitedly with a trembling voice.
"Really? Of Mrs. Jun's three sons, two are high officials outside, and one is the mountain chief of Yancheng Academy. It is said that many people want to worship him." Gu Ming couldn't understand the matter of the emperor. I just told Uncle Gu San what I knew.
Uncle Gu San rubbed his hands together, his face flushed with excitement, and he raised his voice: "That's right! That's the Jun family!! How did you meet the Jun family? Why did the Jun family give you gifts?"
Other villagers also pricked up their ears. Gu Ming scratched the back of his head, glanced at his sister, and said, "My sister received a letter from Grandpa, and went to the border with Grandpa Zheng to save General Chu. Jun's family is the General's foreign family, these are all thanks to come. on."
"It turns out that they were given to the old genius doctor. What does it have to do with your Gu family?" Someone in the crowd was greedy for these things and couldn't help but whispered something bitter.
"Gu Ming, Xiao Ye Zi, why didn't Grandpa the genius doctor come back with you?" Zhang Lihu squeezed in from outside the crowd. He walked steadily to the two brothers and sisters step by step, and deliberately kicked the injured foot in a showy way, "Look. , my feet are healed and not lame."
Gu Ye nodded and said, "Don't run and jump, don't do strenuous exercise in the past two months, and keep doing rehabilitation. When spring starts next year, you can go to the mountains with your father to fight."
Zhang Lihu grinned, revealing a simple and honest smile: "Little Leaf, spring is the season for animals to grow cubs, so it is not suitable to go to the mountains to fight. When next summer and autumn, I will hunt pheasants and wild pigeons for you. Those things are the best for you."
Gu Xiao led the horse to the front of his house, and said to the villagers who were crowded at the door to watch the excitement: "Dear neighbors, it's windy outside, come into the yard and sit for a while!"
The village chief waved his hand and said, "You just came back, and there are so many things that need to be put away, so we won't add to the mess. Leave a few people to help, and everyone else will be gone!"
Some villagers with good deeds, although they were curious about what gifts the Jun family, who was a high-ranking official, gave to the genius doctor, but the village chief spoke, and they all said a few polite words and went back.
When Liu Shi saw Gu Xiao back, he felt that he could not take advantage of it, and he was also caught in the crowd, and went down the mountain in a daze.
Gu Ye stared at her back with disdain, and raised his voice: "Some people's minds are really poisonous. In order to occupy other people's houses, they curse them not to come back. Such a snake-like heart, you must be careful!"
Liu stumbled over the stone under his feet, and rushed forward for several steps before stabilizing his footsteps. She noticed several defensive glances and shot at her. She wanted to refute, but couldn't find any words, so she lowered her head and ran home with her tail tucked.
Ninth Aunt and Ninth Uncle stayed behind to help them unload the goods. Hearing this, he smiled and said to Gu Ye: "Now, there are no more than three families in the village who are willing to have contact with Liu. The next time I came to your house to make trouble, I didn't get it in front of the Yan family sister! The Yan family sister looked quiet and became powerful, and her words were like knives. "
Hearing this, Yan Qiutong stuck his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "When dealing with those who are quite unreasonable, you can't give her half face. Otherwise, she will treat you as weak and bully!"
"Isn't that right! Mrs. Liu took a fancy to your newly built house and wanted to take the opportunity to take it for herself." Aunt Jiu pouted and took a bag of Gu Ye's clothes from the back of the mule.
Gu Xiao snorted coldly: "She doesn't even think about it. She treated Ming'er like she used to be Ye'er. Even if we move out of the village and live in the village in the future, the house will not be cheap for her!"
"What? Fifth Uncle, are you leaving the village?" Gu Mo, Zhang Lihu and a few helpful people looked at him after hearing the words.
Gu Xiao laughed and said: "If we want to leave, it will be in the future. In the past two years, we have no plans to move."
"Just say it! How long has it been since you returned to the village, Uncle Five, how could you leave so quickly?" Gu Mo put a burden on his shoulders, looked back at Gu Ye, and said, "Little Ye Ye has the talent to learn pharmacy, Gu Mo. Ming will follow you to learn martial arts again, and it will definitely be promising in the future, it is impossible to be trapped in this mountain forever and you will leave sooner or later!"
"That's right, in this mountain where birds don't shit, the two children are such a waste of talents. Gu Wushu, you have contacts with the Jun family in Yancheng, and other generals, and you will definitely give them to the children in the future. Find a good way out." The village chief's second son said enviously.
Gu Xiao shook his head and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Whether they can be successful or not depends on their own efforts."
Zhang Hu took the conversation and said, "Uncle Gu is right. It is true that you can earn your future by yourself. Gu Ming, you have to learn your skills. Your grandfather and sister will depend on you in the future."
"Yeah! I will take the martial arts exam in the future, honor my grandfather, and support my sister." Gu Ming nodded heavily, with a childish face and eyes full of determination.
"Good boy, you have ambition! If you can't take the martial arts exam, you won't be able to do optics. I will go to Uncle San's house tomorrow. Uncle San will teach you how to read and write!" Uncle Gu patted the little guy's head and praised the authentic.
There were so many people and great strength that the goods on the dozen mules were quickly unloaded. The east house where Gu Ming and Yaosheng lived was full, leaving only a narrow space for others.
"Eat!" Aunt Yan quickly prepared breakfast. A pot of thick vegetable porridge, noodles wrapped with cabbage, and a plate of crispy radishes that Gu Ye learned to pickle from Aunt Jiu in autumn.
The crispy radish tasted crunchy in the mouth, sour and spicy, and served with the cabbage pancake made of pure white flour, which made the shopkeeper Qian and the guys under him satisfied.
Shopkeeper Qian had eaten and brought his guys to the village to collect the goods. The owner collects a few catties of dried wild vegetables, and the western house collects a few catties of dried mushrooms, as well as some dried game. Such a village to collect goods, this trip is not free to go back. This money shopkeeper really does not miss every opportunity to make money. No wonder he has formed a caravan of more than a dozen mules and horses within a few years!
Gu Ye jumped gently, lay on his back on the kang, and rolled a few times comfortably. Still living in the comfort of your own home! She hugged her pillow and buried her head on it, sniffing the familiar smell.
"Girl, how about stewing chicken soup at noon?" Yan Qiutong walked in from outside and smiled knowingly when she saw her like this.
Gu Ye nodded, his big eyes flashing with scorching brilliance: "Let's make chicken soup with angelica and wolfberry, that nourishing qi and nourishing blood is suitable for you who are recovering from a serious illness, and me who is in loss."
