First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 416: Two shifts

  Chapter 416 Two Changes

   Coming out of the hospital, Gu Jiao got into the little third son’s carriage and went to Liu Yisheng’s house.

  Liu Yisheng’s home is as poor as ever, but he did not see Liu Yisheng sitting in the yard rubbing ears like he did several times before.

  Only the dumb boy named Anu and another elderly mother were working in the front yard, one weaving baskets and the other rubbing ears.

  The two recognize Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao said: "I'm looking for Liu Yisheng, is he there?"

  The old mother couldn't hear her ears, Anu pointed to a room inside.

   "Thank you." Gu Jiao thanked him, stepped into the hall, and turned back into the other hut pointed to by Anu.

  This is a study room and Liu Yisheng’s bedroom. It is about the same size as Xiao Liulang’s Westinghouse and Small Clearance. The furnishings are very old and rudimentary.

  There are still some tattered pieces of furniture that were picked up outside or broken by someone breaking into the house. In short, they were riddled with holes and cracks.

  Liu Yisheng dressed in coarse linen, sitting behind the desk, reading the book attentively.

  Gu Jiao recognized that this was the book she gave him last time.

  He really started reading.

  Gu Jiao didn't bother him, leaning against the door panel with her arms around her.

  Liu Yisheng was immersed in the sea of ​​books. He didn't notice Gu Jiao for a while. It was the old mother outside who accidentally knocked over a stool and made a huge collision. He was shocked and raised his head.

  Then he saw Gu Jiao who was leaning on the door faintly, looking at her with a lot of time.

   Generally speaking, it is very embarrassing to watch someone grabbed by the other party, and you will subconsciously look away.

  Gu Jiao did not.

  She was so magnanimous, she raised her eyebrows and asked: "Is it bothering you?"

   "No... it's not you." Liu Yisheng concealed his surprise, opened the window next to him and looked out, and was relieved that he was sure that the old lady was okay.

  "Why are you here?" He closed the book, and looked at his room somewhat cautiously, wondering if there was any mess in his room where people could not be seen.

  Fortunately, no.

  Grandma and Anu just cleaned up this morning.

   "You..." He hesitated for a while, and wanted to invite the other person in, but felt that it seemed inappropriate, so he stood up and said, "Go to the main room and sit."

  Gu Jiao nodded.

  You can sit wherever you want.

  Although there are two servants in Liu Yisheng's family, one is old and the other can't speak. Liu Yisheng always entertains the guests personally.

  Of course, there has never been another guest in his family, and Gu Jiao is the only one.

  Yuantang cannot be counted as a guest.

  "Sit." Liu Yisheng pointed to the chair and said.

  Gu Jiao sat down.

  A white shadow swished over and jumped onto Gu Jiao's lap. Her plump body was tufted into a fluffy ball, and she was obediently letting Gu Jiao come.

  Gu Jiao poked the soft belly with her fingertips, and said amusedly: "Do you remember me?"

This white cat was the cat that almost frightened Xiao Liulang and bumped into Princess Ning, and was caught in time by Yuantang. Yuantang saw that she liked Gu Jiao, and the white cat liked Gu Jiao, so she lied that it was nothing. The Lord’s cat, let Gu Jiao take it home and raise it.

  Gu Jiao did not take it away.

  Of course, Gu Jiao had guessed that it was Yuantang’s cat afterwards, and she had clearly punctured in front of Yuantang.

  She thought Yuantang would take her cat back.

   "You're still there." Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips, making her cat feel very comfortable.

  Liu Yisheng watched her having fun with the white cat, and couldn’t help asking, “Since you like it so much, why don’t you take it back?”

  She is afraid of cats.

  This man is not afraid of heaven and earth, nor is he afraid of death, but he is afraid of cats.

  Gu Jiao did not answer his words, but said: "No, you are well raised." After a pause, she turned to look at him, "Don't you like cats?"

   Liu Yisheng looked down and said, "No, I like it very much. It can still catch mice. After it comes, there will be no mice in the house."

  Gu Jiao clicked on her belly: "Are you capable of doing this?"

  The white cat meowed triumphantly.

  "Does it have a name?" Gu Jiao asked suddenly.

   Liu Yisheng was asked.

  It’s just a cat, do you need a name?

  Gu Jiao actually has no experience in keeping pets, but Xiao Jingkong even has to name the seven chickens one by one, so she subconsciously thinks that this white cat must also have a name.

   Liu Yisheng's face was a bit awkward.

   just said that he likes to keep cats, but he didn’t even give a name to the cat’s family.

   Liu Yisheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "I have thought about it a few times, but I don't know which one is better."

  Gu Jiao looked at him: "Let's talk and listen."

   Named Waste Liu Yisheng: "..."

   Liu Yisheng had an idea, and said: "Or you can get one. After all, it is your cat, but it is temporarily placed in my foster care."

   "Also." Gu Jiao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Call Xiaoshi."

  There are nine sacred beasts in the family, and this one ranks the tenth.

  "Okay, I'll call Xiaoshi." Liu Yisheng had no objection at all.

   "Are you here to see Xiao Shi today?" He asked, standing up to pour water on Gu Jiao.

   "I came to see you too." Gu Jiao said.

  Liu Yisheng shook his hand when pouring the water, and sprinkled a drop on the table. He took the veil and wiped it off without a trace, and put the poured tea to Gu Jiao's hand: "You are really idle."

  Gu Jiao took off the small back basket and took a few thick books from it: "Here."

  The last time I gave Liu Yisheng was the Four Books, this time I brought the Five Classics and two arithmetic books.

   is the kind with annotations, which is very suitable for self-study scholars.

   "You..." Liu Yisheng stopped talking.

  Gu Jiao can almost imagine what he is going to say: "I know, you can't afford it, it's not a free book. These are Xiao Shi's food expenses. Xiao Shi is so fat, and he can eat it at first sight."

  The white cat meowed angrily.

   Liu Yisheng sighed: "You will regret it if you lose the bet."

  It would be impossible for him in this life to give Hou Baixiang.

  Liu Yisheng struggled for a moment, after all he accepted the books, but he secretly wrote down the value of these books, and he will always return them to her one day in the future.

  Liu Yisheng stroked the cover of the books and said: "These books are considered to be borrowed from you. I will pay you back when I earn money."

   "It's up to you." Gu Jiao Hun said nonchalantly, just a few books, and she didn't lack that little silver, just to take care of his extremely powerful self-esteem, she did not refuse on the spot.

  Gu Jiao at this time would not know that one day after many years, Liu Yisheng really paid back the money for these books, but it was not for the money.

  A book, a city.

   Fully eleven, returned her half of the country.

   "If you don't understand, you can ask me." Gu Jiao saw Liu Yisheng flipping through the two arithmetic books, and said confidently and generously.

   "Ah, good." Liu Yisheng asked for advice humbly, and took out a bunch of first drafts of eight-legged essays from the room.

  Gu Jiao didn’t change her face and said, “...or, you don’t have to ask me.”

   Liu Yisheng: "..."

  Gu Jiao licked the cat for a while, and finally she wanted to **** the cat. She held back.

   "I actually have one more thing today."

  Looking up the cat so much that I almost forgot to do business, the cat's color misunderstood me!

   "What's the matter?" Liu Yisheng asked.

  "It's about Yuantang." Gu Jiao said.

  As soon as her voice fell, Yuan Tang’s voice rang from another room, "What about your Highness?"

  Gu Jiao frowned weirdly.

   Liu Yisheng explained: “He just came here and is sleeping in the wood shed.”

  Gu Jiao looked at Yuan Tang inexplicably: "Leave a good palace and stay awake, come to the wood house to sleep, what's wrong with you?"

  Yuantang covered her face with a folding fan and yawned. He strode over and sat down opposite Gu Jiao, "As long as I'm close to my cousin, what does it matter if I sleep in the wood room?"

   Liu Yisheng said to Gu Jiao: "I thought he would not wake up, so I didn't tell you."

  He didn't expect that Gu Jiao would suddenly mention Yuan Tang. If he knew that, he would have reminded her. After all, it was embarrassing to talk about the other party being caught by the owner.

  Liu Yisheng thinks too much, Gu Jiao is not at all embarrassed, Gu Jiao sighed, and said to Yuantang: "It's just right."

   Yuantang curled her lips and smiled: "Why? Miss your Highness?"

   Liu Yisheng's eyes were cold.

   Yuantang hurriedly said to him: “Don’t be angry, just make a joke, I only have a cousin in my heart, I can’t pretend to be someone else.”

  Liu Yisheng was obviously accustomed to his brazen and glib tongue, and turned around coldly and ignored him.

   Yuantang smiled and said, "Doctor Gu, what do you want to say about me?"

  Gu Jiao didn't speak, she stretched out a hand to pinch Yuantang's chin, and turned his face to the left. She really saw the scratches and redness hidden by her hair.

  It’s just that about Mo’s rubbing the medicine, it’s not as obvious as Princess Rui said, but the traces are still visible.

   Yuantang did not resist, and looked at Liu Yisheng playfully: "Cousin, this is her molesting me, not me taking the initiative to seduce her."

  "Shut your mouth!" Liu Yisheng said grimly.

  Gu Jiao asked: "How did you get the wound on your face?"

   Yuantang raised his eyebrows and said, "You care about me so much?"

   Liu Yisheng said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense."

  Yuantang shrugged helplessly, pointed at the big white cat on Gu Jiao’s leg with a folding fan and said, “How else could it be done? It’s scratching!”

  Gu Jiao looked at the white cat on her lap: "Did you scratch it?"

  The white cat closed his eyes and pretended to die.

   Liu Yisheng said: "It was scratching, I saw it."

  Gu Jiao asked: "When did you scratch it?"

   Liu Yisheng said, "Last night, he climbed the wall and entered the house. The white cat thought he had entered the thief, so he scratched his paw."

  I can't see how fierce this little thing is.

   Yuantang looked at the white cat bitterly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I forgot who raised you before!"

  Liu Yisheng will not lie to her, and according to Gu Jiao’s observation, the marks on Yuantang’s face are indeed not like finger marks, but more like scratches and scratches caused by sharp claws.

  Of course, another situation cannot be ruled out-the slap didn't make much mark, and the swelling disappeared immediately after applying ice.

Yuan Tang looked at Gu Jiao who was in deep thought, and said, "Hey, why are you looking at me like this? Are you Zhao people so strange today? First Princess Rui saw me and was shocked by my wounded face, then screamed. You are holding my face to me again."

   Liu Yisheng annoyed him to death: "Who has done anything to you, and if you are so unobstructed, don't come next time."

   Yuantang second counselor: "Good, good, don't say, don't say!"

  It's not Yuantang, the direction of this incident has become a little strange.

  Although Wen Linlang and her private meeting have nothing to do with her, she broke the secret of the other party. If the other party discovers this, it is very likely to be disadvantageous to her and Princess Rui.

  So, it’s better to get that person out as soon as possible.

  Gu Jiao looked at Yuantang for an instant, and asked, "Do you know the princess?"

   Yuantang said: "Which country do you mean the princess?"

  Gu Jiao said: "Prince Zhaoguo."

   Yuantang raised her eyebrows meaningfully: "Oh, that fiancée of Xiaohou Master Zhaodu, you know, what's the matter?"

   "It's a former fiancée, they are okay." Gu Jiao corrected Yuan Tang and asked, "Have you seen her yesterday?"

Because of being asked, Yuantang didn’t care why she had to correct herself for a while. Yuantang said, “Why should I go to see her? I’m not familiar with her again! Wait, why are you asking like that? You should Isn't it because I suspect that there is something unclear about my relationship with her?"

  This Yuantang is not stupid.

Yuan Tang smiled, finished smiling, raised his fingers, and solemnly said: "Cousin is here. I simply opened the skylight to speak up. I did assassinate the emperor of Zhaoguo, but I and your prince and concubine of Zhaoguo absolutely It doesn’t matter! I swear to God! If I lie, I won’t be able to bring my cousin back to Chen Kingdom in my life!"

  What kind of oath is this?

   Liu Yisheng said lightly: "If you lie, you will not be the prince of Chen Guo."

   Yuantang's face was hurt: "Too poisonous! Are you still my cousin?"

   Yuantang doesn’t look like lying.

  Only from the comprehensive point of view of motivation, martial arts, criminal history, etc., Yuantang’s suspicion is the greatest.

   Just when Gu Jiao was about to ask him for his alibi yesterday morning, there was a strange movement outside the house.

  Gu Jiao moved her ears, grabbed the tea cup in her hand, and threw it out the door!

   heard a crisp sound, and an arrow was knocked to the ground by a teacup.

  The dumb slave in the yard stood up, pulled up the old lady who hadn’t heard anything at all, and carried her back into the house.

  As soon as the two entered the house, Yuantang got up and closed the door of the hall, and the bolt was also plugged in!

  Almost at the same moment, a whole row of arrows shot on the door panel. One of the arrows broke halfway through the door and almost pierced Yuantang’s stomach.

   Yuantang looked at the arrow that almost broke his stomach, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

   "No, cousin, what have you been doing lately? Those people from Zhaoguo used to come to your house and smash them, but now they are going to kill you?"

As soon as Yuantang's voice fell, another arrow broke through the air.

  This time from the back door.

  The back door cannot be closed because there is no back door...

  However, the person who the arrow aimed at was not Liu Yisheng.

  For a moment, Gu Jiao thought that the other party was aiming at her, until—the arrow plunged into Yuantang’s folding fan accurately.

  It's not that the fan is blocked fast, he has been opened!

   Yuantang was stunned: "...what's the situation? Did you come to me?"

  Several arrows were shot from behind, all aimed at Yuantang.

  Gu Jiao looked deeply at the direction of the back door, her eyes moved: "Okay, your suspicion has been ruled out."

   Yuantang hid arrows and ran around the room: "What do you mean?"

  Obviously, some people want Yuantang to carry the black pot and give Yuantang a deadly proof!

    Jiaojiao is so smart, do you have a monthly pass?
