Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 239 I Promise The World, I Will Be Peaceful Forever

Temporarily handing over the official duties here to others, Gu Dan directly took Xun Ke back to the small courtyard of Gu's family.

Cang now replaced Xun Ke's former position in the Zangshu Pavilion, and would often return to the small courtyard to live for a while.

And Xiaoying is still here, but she has to go out to treat people on weekdays, and she trims the flowers and plants in the courtyard as usual in her spare time, so there is no shortage of people.

In front of Xiaoying's absence, Xun Ke breathed a sigh of relief, excused that he had official business to report to Wang Mang, and left first.

Gu Dan naturally understands that this guy's petty thoughts are nothing more than fear of embarrassment.

After all, for things like marriage, nodding alone is not enough.

When it was getting late, Xiaoying, who was dressed in white, went back to the yard with the medicine box, and immediately saw the figure cooking tea and chanting scriptures at the stone table under the willow tree.

A very familiar scene came into view, Xiaoying had a big smile on her face, and shouted happily: "Uncle Gu, you are back!"

"Ah."

Gu Dan looked intently.

Xiaoying is indeed not young.

At the age of 25, it is the most youthful and beautiful age for women. The youthful beauty of youth has not faded away, and the mature charm has been contaminated by three points. There is a sweet smile on the beautiful face, the dimples are intoxicating, and the figure is beautiful. Slender and plump, proud and tall.

After the loss of a loved one, the vivacity of her body was buried for a long time, but the medicine of the years will eventually make up for the past, and now Xiaoying has returned to the old vitality, and anyone who sees it will praise her Say hello to a beauty.

But it wasn't these things that really made Gu Dan stunned.

The clothes on Xiaoying's body. She was wearing the standard long skirt of the Taiyuan Hospital, which was the same as that of Lin Xiaoyi back then.

Coupled with that face so similar to Lin Xiaoyi's, for a moment Gu Dan had the illusion that an old friend came from outside the door.

"Come, have a cup of tea."

Gu Dan was only stunned for a moment, then recovered, and greeted casually.

"okay."

Xiaoying put down the medicine box with a smile, sat on the stone bench happily, took the slightly hot tea, and said to Gu Dan proudly: "Uncle Gu, I passed the imperial doctor's degree in the imperial hospital. Check it out!"

She excitedly waved her small fists, raised her pretty face proudly, her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation and praise, "I am now an imperial doctor specially approved by the imperial hospital, who can travel the world to treat diseases and save lives!"

"Good good."

Gu Dan said three good words in succession.

Xiaoying's current medical attainments have surpassed Lin Xiaoyi's back then.

"hey-hey."

Xiaoying laughed happily, dimpled, and said impatiently: "I have saved many patients over the years! Before"

Gossip, rambling.

The so-called short stories of parents are just like this. Xiaoying narrates what she has experienced, the intractable diseases she has encountered, and the life-saving and healing the wounded when she has a flash of inspiration.

Other than that, most of them are ordinary things, but it is the combination of these ordinary things that finally connects the whole life of a person.

Gu Dan listened quietly, occasionally echoing twice as affirmation.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it seems that there are too many things to say.

Before you know it, the sky is getting dark.

"Yeah, it's been so long?"

Noticing the moonlight falling quietly, Xiaoying woke up from her dream, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll go cook for Uncle Gu first."

"Farewell, there is something I want to tell you too."

Gu Dan waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to worry.

"what?"

Xiaoying was rather curious.

"Well, what do you think of Xun Ke?"

Gu Dan thought about it and asked.

He is not very good at being a matchmaker for others. Fortunately, we are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Xun Ke? Is he in Yuzhou now? He has become a great official, quite powerful."

Xiaoying didn't figure out what it meant, so she said it naturally.

"I mean, if Xun Ke wants to marry you, would you be willing?"

Gu Dan can only speak bluntly.

"what?"

Xiaoying's small mouth opened wide, and she froze there.

"I asked Xun Ke, he wants to marry you."

Gu Dan sold Xun Ke without hesitation, and then said after consideration: "If you have the idea of ​​starting a family, you also know Xun Ke, and you know each other well, so you should be regarded as a good man. Of course, if you don't want to, Just pretend I haven't mentioned it.

If you meet other young talents you like, you can also tell me, as long as there is no problem with character. "

Gu Dan didn't want to show the attitude of an elder to overwhelm others, even though Xiaoying was about to become an "old girl" at her age, she didn't say anything serious.

In the final analysis, marriage is actually a matter between two people, and they really have to entrust their lifelong companionship, so they can't make do.

He doesn't want to arrange the younger generation's own life, but he also needs to give reasonable advice from the elders when the time is right.

"I, him, this."

Xiaoying was stunned for a long time, her eyes seemed a little dodgy, and her ears were red all over.

"you are not willing?"

Gu Dan stood up, "It's okay, I'll tell him, anyway, he will stay in Yuzhou most of the time, so he can't bother you, don't feel embarrassed."

Seeing that Gu Dan was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, Xiaoying finally shouted: "I, I, I, I am willing!"

Shouting this sentence, Xiaoying herself was stunned.

His entire face was like a red-hot prawn.

The corner of Gu Dan's mouth also raised a slight smile, and his voice was still Gujing calmly said: "Oh, then I will inform him."

Ten years of the Xia Dynasty.

Xun Ke married Xiaoying.

Both parents are assumed by Gu Dan.

Xun Ke was sent by Mo Qiu to study with Gu Dan. Although he studied under Mo Qiu, but Mo Qiu is not around at this time, so Gu Dan is naturally enough to be called Xun Ke's elder in the true sense.

Naturally, Xiaoying didn't need to say much, she was the daughter of an old friend, so it was only natural for him to be a witness for the two of them.

The place where the two got married was in the small courtyard of the Gu family.

After fully consulting the opinions of the two, the wedding process was simplified.

Although they can't be regarded as growing up under the same roof, they have been together for many years, and they are actually very familiar with each other.

It is probably also a kind of fate that they chose to marry in the small courtyard of the Gu family where they have spent the longest time together.

Cang was excitedly wearing red and hanging green in the courtyard, wishing to paste the Chinese characters "Happy" all over the courtyard. The gate of Gu's small courtyard, which had been replaced several times, finally had a more festive meaning.

Not many people were invited to this wedding, most of them were old acquaintances or neighbors for many years.

Wang Mang, Qin Lisheng, Gong Shangguo, Zou Dan, Zhuang Sheng... These people also came.

There are not many people, but they all have weight.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the people here disappeared, the entire Xia Dynasty would be in chaos.

On the day of the wedding, Xiaoying in the phoenix crown and Xiapei was too beautiful to behold, and the handsome and elegant Xun Ke was also personable.

Talented scholars and beautiful ladies, talented men and beautiful ladies.

After receiving the toasted drinks from the two, Gu Dan warned: "We must support each other and be considerate."

After drinking all the wine, Gu worried as if he had let go of something on his mind.

He also had an explanation to Xu Zhian.

What Xu Zhian once entrusted to him has not been completed, but the next generation he is familiar with has finally come together.

After the slightly complicated wedding process was over, Gu Dan took out the Broken Soul Burn brewed many years ago.

This thing is the medicinal wine that Xu Zhian once gave him, and it has miraculous effects even on visceral martial arts practitioners.

After so many years of precipitation, it has become more and more intense. When Kaifeng is opened, the wine can't wait to rise to the sky, and the mood is intense.

I still remember that when the altar was opened for the first time, Wang Mang was still a little guy, and he would get drunk just by smelling it.

Now it was Wang Mang who took the initiative to open it, and exchanged cups with everyone present, very lively.

Three rounds of wine.

Except for Qin Lisheng and Gu Dan, everyone was drunk.

For example, Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng were already lying on the table and sound asleep.

Of course, Xun Ke, the groom, took good care of him, but everyone had a sense of propriety and didn't act cruelly. While he was staggering, it was unknown who pushed him into the new house.

"Brother Gu, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Wang Mang drank a lot, and now he was talking with his tongue out.

"What? You don't think there are enough masters, and you want me to sit in the imperial capital for you?"

On the happy day, Gu Dan also made a joke.

"Where is it!"

Wang Mang waved his hands again and again, "It's just that in this small courtyard, without you, it doesn't feel right."

After so many years, they are almost used to Gu Dan staying here all the time.

Even if Gu Dan didn't do anything, just chanting scriptures and reading in silence, there was a force that made them feel at ease.

If I had to describe it concretely, it would be "someone at home", and the backer still feels reassuring.

"It sounds nice."

Gu Dan glanced at them, "It seems that you often come here when you are free."

Look at the people at this table.

Wang Mang, emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

Qin Lisheng, a giant of the Mohist school, was the national teacher of the Xia Dynasty.

Gong Shang Guo, Shang Shu.

"The country is busy."

It is fair to say this, he has not rested for a long time.

At that time, the Xia Dynasty was short of manpower, but he, the minister, was so exhausted that he didn't dare to rest for a day.

Now there is no shortage of officials, but things are not missing at all.

But he didn't feel tired at all.

At the beginning, I witnessed how Da Yue harmed the people, but now I have the opportunity to stand up and protect the people of the world, so why do I have any complaints?
If one of these people must choose a workaholic, I am afraid Qin Lisheng will have to step back a little bit. Gongshang Guo is the one who really works hard, to the point of ecstasy, let alone smoking. Free to gather.

"The Mo family is also very busy."

When Qin Lisheng heard this, he also nodded, quite agreeing.

Whether he is a Mohist tycoon or the Xia Dynasty's national teacher, although he hardly interferes with the affairs of the temple, he still needs Mohists who are in charge of nearly ten thousand people.

Yes, ten years have passed, and there are only nearly ten thousand Mohists!

This Mohist tycoon has no lower requirements on Mohists than Mo Qiu's, and even stricter requirements.

The four words Ning Que Wu Lan almost reached an extreme.

Even though it can be said that everyone in the world admires the righteousness of the Mohist school at this time, and even there are many talents who want to join the Mohist school, Qin Lisheng still has his attitude and has not changed a bit.

"With two of you working so hard, it seems that I have become more relaxed."

Wang Mang laughed loudly.

Over the years, the support of the Xia Dynasty from various countries has stopped.

It's not that they dare to breach the contract, but that the time limit agreed with Gu Dan has already come.

The road after that needs to be walked by Xia Chao himself, and it is impossible to survive on the support of other countries.

In these years, the main thing Wang Mang has done is to clean up and rectify the rich and powerful families, especially those powerful families.

I don't know how many people have ruined their homes!
Even when compared to Emperor Zongming, the means were not much better.

But for the people, Wang Mang has done little except for the reform of taxes and corvee.

With the temple controlling the general direction, for the common people, the Xia Dynasty actually chose to "govern by doing nothing."

What is needed in this war-torn land is not immediate drastic reforms, but to use time to heal the pain and twists and turns.

Ten years later, the Xia Dynasty has swept away the gloom and gloom of the past, and the people have obviously become richer.

Even though Wang Mang's reputation is still not very good, the wallets of the people who have become rich cannot be faked.

The most important thing is that at this time, businesses in various countries are booming like never before.

Nowadays, the business travel convoy traveling between various countries can be said to be rare in thousands of years.

Since the army originally standing at the border is useless for the time being, it must play a role, right?
It's better to clean up the robbers in the mountains and forests to protect the business road.

In this way, with the guarantee of safety on the road, countries began to communicate with each other in a real sense, money flowed, goods were filled, and life became richer as a matter of course.

And the country can also extract sufficient taxes from business travelers, so that it no longer has to focus on the hard-working people who don't have much money.

At least, at this time, no one dared to say the phrase "no matter how hard it is for the people".

Although the Xia Dynasty has only been established for ten years, it still has a faint hegemony. Countries often send some young talents to come to study and understand the spirit of Mohism.

Regardless of whether they believe it or not, there is no doubt that the lives of people in all countries are much better than before.

Now that everyone has begun to give full play to their talents, it is naturally impossible for them to stay in the small courtyard of the Gu family for several years like before, and there is very little time to get together.

On the contrary, Gu Dan, a jobless vagrant, sometimes seems to have nothing to do.

"Busy, busy, busy."

Gu Dan glared at them, poured himself a cup of Duan Hun Shao, and drank it down.

The extremely hot liquor fell into the throat, as if it was going to scald the heart and lungs, and as the liquor entered the stomach, the body seemed to be warmed up a bit, and the body and mind were comfortable.

Slightly drunken eyes looked at everything around him, seeing the familiar faces who were joking and chatting, and listening to the continuous walking of passers-by outside the door, Gu Dan rarely showed a happy smile on his face.

I promise that the world will be peaceful forever.
