Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 786 Can It Be Missed?

The nights in February are quite cold.

The tall and long-legged Gu Wenxuan quickly walked through the moon gate and went into the backyard and headed towards the east courtyard.

The back room of the main courtyard of the east road was the same as the courtyard where he and his wife lived. There was a reed curtain hanging under the corridor to block the wind and snow, but there was no brazier.

It's not like his place. As long as the couple is indoors, no matter who is in the room, there will be a maid in the corridor who either moves a small wooden stool to do needlework or stands quietly waiting for instructions.

Therefore, there is still a brazier burning in the corridor over there. Even before stepping into the room, the corridor in front of the house is quite warm. When you step into the living room, there is still a buffer for the temperature difference.

What a brother!

I am not afraid of the cold, but I have two children, especially the older one Changsuo. No matter how warm the house is, children of that age cannot stay there without running in and out.

"Big brother?"

"Come in."

"Uncle~"

"I heard you. It's cold outside, don't come out. Uncle will go in right away." Gu Wenxuan responded loudly, took a big step, reached out to lift the cotton curtain, and stepped over the threshold.

The layout of the back room of the main courtyard of the West Courtyard is similar. The back room here also opens into a hall, but one serves as a warehouse and the other is converted into a pharmacy.

inside the hall.

A burst of hot air brought with it a not very strong but extremely pleasant medicinal fragrance, more reliable than incense, which made Gu Wenxuan involuntarily take a breath.

"Find a chair and sit down. I'll let Changsuo remember these two medicinal herbs first." Gu Erlang said, and then took out a piece of grass from a winnowing basket.

Gu Wenxuan shook his head secretly when he saw this, thinking to himself that my wife envies you just because you know medicine, but if my wife sees you teaching the children now, how can that be!

"What about the little one?"

"in front of."

"My eldest nephew is only a few years old. He has to memorize books and learn to read, and recognize herbs and remember their properties. Can he handle it? Yes, he also has to squat. Is there any father like you?"

"Stop making trouble."

"Okay, I won't tell you." Gu Wenxuan put his hands behind his back and walked to Xiao Changsuo. He bent down and touched Xiao Changsuo with his elbow, "My nephew, I can't help you~"

Gu Erlang raised one foot.

"What are you doing? The child is here. Give your uncle some face and put him down." Gu Wenxuan reacted very quickly, picked up his nephew, and jumped to the side.

Little Changsuo chuckled.

"Oh my, silly boy, your uncle is happy about being bullied by your dad because of you. Do you believe that your uncle can't beat your dad, so I'll beat your little butt instead?"

"Uncle is reluctant."

"Who said that!" Gu Wenxuan freed one hand and deliberately patted his nephew's butt, then put him down and asked, "How many herbs will you teach me every night now?"

"Five." Little Changsuo didn't wait for his father to agree, and raised his hand, "But, uncle, I always forget. After a night's sleep, I can only remember three at most."

"What?" Gu Wenxuan was shocked. "How old are you? You remember three things after waking up from a night's sleep? You are worthy of being my nephew. You are much more promising than your uncle!

How can an uncle of your age tell the difference between medicine and grass? They look the same, don’t they? Not to mention that at your age, someone could recite the Hundred Family Surnames and the Thousand Character Classic.

You are talking about your father. Your father is very smart. When your father was studying in the town, there was no teacher who didn't praise your father. Later, when he returned to the village to study, he was praised by the teacher again. Do you know who Gu Dalang is? Your father was so good at studying that he was scared to tears many times. It's a pity that your father was kidnapped by your master, otherwise Gu Dalang would have cried himself blind! "

Little Changsuo chuckled, "My eldest brother from my great uncle's family doesn't know as many words as I do, and he can't memorize as fast as I do. I'm sure I'll be so good at studying that I'll scare him to tears!"

"You have great ambition!" Gu Wenxuan happily stroked his nephew's head, "Your uncle and your father are waiting for you to vent our anger. That brat is not your big brother at all.

You know he and we are not from the same family? You are the eldest, the eldest grandson of our family. Your brothers and sisters will all depend on you in the future. Him? His grandfather is Gu Dazhu, and we are not familiar with him! "

Gu Erlang held his forehead with his hand, "Just listen to what your uncle said, but don't tell anyone."

"I won't learn this to outsiders. I'm not a child."

"Yes! Changsuo has been smart since he was born. He is not one of those bad kids who don't know shit. When the weather gets warmer, uncle will take you to ride a horse.

When you are as big as Uncle Xiaohe, I will definitely take you to buy a pony. Grow up well, get plenty of sleep and eat plenty, but don’t learn bad habits and make your parents angry.”

"Ok."

"How good of you, my nephew."

Are you done talking?

Gu Erlang looked at the uncle and nephew, one standing and the other squatting, with a smile on his face. He reached out and patted his son's little butt, "Go play."

"Put on a thick coat first!" Gu Wenxuan quickly stood up and shouted for someone to come outside, so that the mother-in-law could come in, help his nephew put on thicker clothes and carry him to the front.

A maid came in, put an outer coat on the child and took the child away. Another maid served tea and cakes. In short, there was not a single maidservant to be seen. All who came in and out were servants over thirty years old.

Gu Wenxuan thought he was convinced by his sister-in-law.

If a man wants to play with a woman, can you stop him? He is guarding against her like a thief at home. How ugly. Only his elder brother didn't take it seriously.

After the maid left and the two brothers sat down, Gu Wenxuan asked directly, "Has anyone else come to see you today?" without waiting for Gu Erlang to speak.

"How can it be omitted?" It was a good question. Gu Erlang rolled his eyes at his brother without hesitation, "If it weren't for my uncle wanting to invite Doctor Song to the clinic again, he would never go.

Before I came back, someone wanted to take the carriage with me to ask you for help. This time it wasn't any of the officers of County Magistrate Huang, or any of County Magistrate Huang's sons-in-law."

That's why people say that his master is so strategic. He took advantage of the timing and left his father-in-law in the capital, so no one could find him.

Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood, and asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know him. It was in the afternoon that Mr. Bai brought him to the clinic. He was not Mr. Bai from the escort agency, but Mr. Bai who sold the house to our village."

Why is he joining in the fun?
"He brought a guy who was about the same age as our father to see me and said that you were not at home during the day. As soon as I heard it, I knew that he had no choice but to accompany that person.

Later, from what he said, he seemed to know that the former county magistrate wanted to deal with County Lieutenant Huang, and he was afraid of being dragged into it, so he wanted to ask you to help him find the county magistrate and say a few good words. "

understand!

Now that his senior brother has taken up the new post, his background has not been discovered by those people in the county yet, but his dealings with County Magistrate Cheng cannot be concealed from others.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not go out. When County Magistrate Huang was detained, many people were implicated and it was not easy for him to get involved.

All he could do was to help pass on a message in private - every debt has its creditor, every grievance has its perpetrator, and it is better to resolve a grudge than to create one. Since it is impossible to eradicate the roots, it is enough to just do it.

A mere promotion of a county magistrate from the seventh rank to the sixth rank Tongpan, or a sixth rank Tongpan transferred to another place, can bring no great benefits. There is really no need to dirty one's hands.

County Magistrate Huang is overbearing, but it's the former county magistrate's own incompetence that makes him want to save County Magistrate Huang's life even though he has been transferred away. That's a little unreasonable.
