The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 49 The Yao Family
Chapter 49 The Yao Family

Gu Chengyu read the medical books for a while, and then his consciousness came out of the space. Seeing that Old Gu was already impatient with waiting, he had already sat on the grass beside him.

"My friend, I don't know when I can come to see me next time, so please stay a little longer!" The woman's nostalgic voice sounded.

"No, I was able to sneak out while I was going to Xialing Village. Now I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, it will not be so easy to come out next time." Then there was a rustling sound.

"Your mother-in-law can still watch you all the time? Anyway, if you want to find me, you can go to the grove and tie a blue cloth strip, or I will tie a red cloth strip, and I will come to see you every day. Also, you Don't forget what you promised me."

Gu Chengyu rubbed his chin. It turned out that this was a fixed place for them to meet, and there was a secret sign. It seemed that they couldn't be passers-by. They could only be people from the village. Since they were leaving, they would definitely see each other.

"Understood, I'm leaving, and I'll come to you when I have time. The matter will be guaranteed in two days, but it's really convenient for you to come out? Don't let your third son Yang get caught."

"You don't have to worry about that, just take care of yourself. You go first, and I'll go later."

Footsteps came from the grove. The sound was heavy and powerful, and it seemed to be the man.Soon, a man wearing dark green coarse cloth and short brown came out of the jungle. He glanced left and right first, and Father Gu quickly pulled Gu Chengyu inside to hide.Through the cracks in the leaves, Gu Chengyu saw the man's face, it was him?

Of course, Papa Gu also knew this man, and he held Gu Chengyu's hand tightly.

Seeing no one on the path, the man quickly rushed into the village.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the woman also came out.Sure enough, as Gu Chengyu expected, this woman is indeed her.

"Bah! It's just a silver-plated hairpin, how can you treat it as a treasure?" The woman pulled the hairpin off her head and put it in her arms. She straightened her clothes, brushed her hair, and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he twisted his already not-so-slender waist and walked away.

Papa Gu and Gu Chengyu both heaved a sigh of relief and finally left.Gu Laopa let out a foul breath, what's the matter?Co-authored them to become sentinels?

"Father, what were they doing just now? Why did we hide?" Gu Chengyu looked at Father Gu with a confused expression on purpose.

"Ah? This." Papa Gu scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it to a little boy.

Seeing his father's embarrassment, Gu Chengyu secretly laughed in his heart. "Father, could it be that they went there to steal fish? There are fish in that little pond, right?"

"That's right! That's right! It's just for stealing fish. It's a pity that the fish pond has been abandoned for many years, and it is almost covered by grass. It turned out to be much bigger than this!" Gu Lao looked at the fish pond. Just past this grove?While dragging Gu Chengyu on the way, he was also thankful that his son didn't understand anything.I knew I would not take this road today, and I don’t know which tendon is wrong. This road is not used by anyone, and grass has grown on the small road, and the road will be covered by grass.What a bad luck!
It took the two of them more than half an hour to arrive at Li Langzhong's house.

The courtyard of Li Langzhong's house is very large, with stone walls built higher than those in the village.The courtyard gate is tall and strong, and it can be seen that it was built by a carpenter, but it is not like the Gu family. They went to the mountains to chop wood, and nailed the wood together casually, and used it as the courtyard gate.It seems that Li Langzhong's family has a lot of money.

Old man Gu stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, "Who is it? Here it is." The woman who responded was a woman, who must have been commonly referred to in the village as Mrs. Li's wife, Mrs. Yao.

Yao opened the courtyard door, and saw a man about the same age as her husband and a young boy standing outside the courtyard door, looked at the child a few more times, and couldn't help admiring inwardly.In this countryside, it was the first time that she saw such a good-looking boy, even the sons and brothers of the rich families she had seen were not as good as this one in front of her.However, being too good-looking is not necessarily a good thing, let alone being born in this peasant family.

"But looking for my master? He just went out to change the medicine for Gu Laosi of the Gu family, and he will be back soon. What's the matter with you? If you want to see a doctor, why don't you come back later? I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if the master is not at home." .”

Gu Chengyu has set his sights on Yao Shi since Yao Shi opened the door.Mrs. Yao has always been a mysterious woman. Since Langzhong Li came to Shangling Village and settled down, Langzhong Li has been going in and out of the village. Mrs. Yao never goes out to visit. I didn't come out to meet the guests, and I don't know why I came out to open the door in response to the sound today.

Gu Chengyu's gaze swept over Yao Shi's body. This is a well-dressed woman, completely different from ordinary peasant women.I saw that he was wearing a pair of ginger-yellow muslin skirts, revealing a section of the white shirt's stand-up collar inside. Simple textures were embroidered on the cuffs and skirt, and pink peonies were embroidered on the hem. would be too complicated.On the head is a round bun like that of an ordinary woman, with only a silver hairpin inserted into it.The complexion is fair, there are light fine lines at the corners of the eyes, but the eyes are bright and energetic.She doesn't look very beautiful, but she has a very gentle temperament, which makes people look amiable.Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled. Although Li Langzhong had the temperament of a scholar, Yao Shi in front of him was not like a woman from an ordinary family, but more like a wife from a wealthy family. Moreover, she spoke with a high level of elegance, so she should have read books.

"Xiaobao, why don't you call someone? Call Aunt Li." Seeing that it was Li Langzhong's wife who came out to open the door, Gu Lao hurriedly asked Gu Chengyu to call someone.

"Hello Aunt Li!" Gu Chengyu felt that this woman was very amiable.Sure enough, people still need clothes, and Buddhas need gold clothes!If his mother wears good-looking clothes, she must be beautiful too, but she lacks the charm of the woman in front of her!

"Hey! Be good!" Yao shi smiled, and gently patted Gu Chengyu's head.Gu Chengyu is slightly embarrassed, why do you like to touch his head?

"Huh? It's Brother Gu! I was coming out of your house. You came to look for me. We missed it, but something happened?" It was also a coincidence that Li Langzhong just came back from the Gu family after changing his medicine. The medicine box greeted this way.

"Brother Li, I really need to find you. It just happened that we went astray and missed it." Father Gu was also happy to see that Li Langzhong was here. He and a woman couldn't talk much, so naturally it was impossible to go into the house. Wait, if you can take care of your family, there are so many people that you can't get out the ginseng.

"But I want to ask about your fourth child? I saw that I feel much better today. Fortunately, I don't have a fever. After changing the medicine a few more times, I can walk on the ground."

"That's not the case. I can still question your medical skills? Is there something else to ask you for, you see?" Mrs. Gu looked around. Since Langzhong Li is here, it's better to go inside and talk.

"Master, it's better to let them in! I'll serve tea." Seeing that her master came back, Yao Shi no longer shy away from it.

"Hey! Look at me, come in quickly, Brother Gu, don't take offense, please trouble the lady to serve tea."

Gu Chengyu and the others followed Li Langzhong into the courtyard.The Li family has a large yard, but not many houses. There are only two main rooms and one east and west wing rooms.There are many herbs in the yard, such as cinnamon twigs, white peony root, roasted licorice, black aconite, ephedra, etc.These are commonly used wind-cold medicines, presumably Li Langzhong went to the mountains to collect them.

"Father Gu, I don't know what you want to ask me for?" Li Langzhong led Gu Cheng and them into the main room, and sat down in priority.

　Everyone knows who is in the woods, right?It's easy to guess!
