The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

The four of them knew the seriousness of this matter in their hearts, and they didn't say it, but they all tacitly kept the matter under wraps.

Gu Jiao asked Gu Xiaoshun not to come here for the past few days. Although the contagiousness of early leprosy type is not that strong, there is still a certain risk.

Gu Jiao didn't go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and An Xin took care of the old lady at home for a few days.

It was because she took good care of her. At noon on the third day, the old lady woke up completely and was no longer in a daze, but there seemed to be something wrong with her mind.

When Gu Jiao asked who she was, she looked at Gu Jiao with wide eyes; when Gu Jiao asked where she lived, she still looked at Gu Jiao with wide eyes.

Could it be Alzheimer's?

"Do you still remember what disease you had?" Gu Jiao continued to ask.

The old lady still kept her eyes wide open.

Gu Jiao was gone.

It seemed that the old lady not only didn't remember who she was, but also completely forgot her illness.

In fact, it’s okay to forget, Gu Jiao can watch and keep her from going out, but she can’t prevent people from the village from coming to the door. If the old lady accidentally leaks the leprosy thing, she will be closely related to Xiao Liulang and Gu Xiaoshun. Contacts have to suffer.

As for how to arrange her in the future, that is a matter of the future. The top priority is to cure her, and no one must find out that she has suffered from leprosy.

Thinking so, Gu Jiao picked up the medicine jar and went to make medicine for the old lady.

The medicine in the medicine box must be eaten, as well as the traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise the secret of the medicine box will be exposed.

When the old lady saw Gu Jiao holding the medicine jar, she turned her face away in disgust.

Gu Jiao vaguely heard a resentful hum, this old lady, is she quite temperamental?

The medicine had to be boiled on a slow fire for half an hour. While waiting for the medicine, Gu Jiao took out the small medicine box and checked it.

She has used a lot of medicines these days, and she has never had the opportunity to take a good count. She has to see how much of her medicines are left and which ones can no longer be used casually.

As a result, she was a little dumbfounded after the inspection.

She actually had a new bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine that she had eaten up, a spare antibacterial ointment, and a few other medicines that she didn't remember when they put them in.

Gu Jiao looked at the motionless medicine box, touched her chin, and fell into deep thought.

Near the end of the month, the academy has another exam.

Gu Dashun entered the first class of the emperor with the halo of the second freshman. After that, he really lived up to the expectations and performed very well. This time, he took the second place in the exam.

Master Chen was very happy, but there was not much joy on Gu Dashun's face.

Master Chen thought that he was blaming himself for not winning the first place, so he patiently reassured: "You and Hanzhi are both the best of the freshmen, Hanzhi is two years older than you, and opened earlier, a book that is several years older than you. , you don't have to worry about the current results."

Gu Dashun certainly didn't worry about this. The student named Xu Hanzhi was just a little bit more pretentious because he studied a few more years than him, but the other party's talent is not as good as his own, and he has great confidence to surpass him.

It's just that his ambitions don't stop there.

He came for the direct disciple of the dean, and he hoped that the dean could become his teacher.

Since the last time, he has written a lot of good articles, and Master Chen also showed them to the dean one by one, but the dean never heard of him again.

"What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Master Chen noticed that he was hesitant to speak.

Gu Dashun thought about it for a while, but still mustered up his courage and said, "I heard that the entrance examination questions this time were given by the dean. I wonder if the dean has any plans to accept disciples?"

"It is true." Master Chen felt relieved when he thought about it, but unfortunately, Gu Dashun was not the dean's favorite candidate.

Gu Dashun saw a trace of regret in Master Chen's eyes, and his heart was cold: "Is it Xu Hanzhi?"

"not him.

"Master Chen shook his head, "This matter has not been settled yet, so don't ask." Even if he can't be the dean's disciple, the dean will take the time to guide the outstanding students in the academy. "

How can this be the same? One is to inherit the dean's mantle, to be the dean's successor, and to gain not only knowledge, but also the dean's contacts.

Random guidance is much weaker.

He is such a poor boy who dreams of soaring into the sky. If he is not good enough, he will be fine, but he has enough conditions to be favored by the dean.

How is he willing?

Gu Dashun wanted to ask further questions, but Master Chen was reluctant to speak.

Zhongzheng Hall.

The dean looked at Xiao Liulang with cold eyes and said gently, "How are you thinking?"

Xiao Liulang said indifferently: "Do you want the third last?"

This time, Xiao Liulang took the third-to-last test. This is not because he improved by one place, but because Gu Xiaoshun was at the bottom.

The dean cleared his throat and said, "I'm not embarrassing you. In this way, you can go back and think about it for a few days. You don't have to worry about giving me an answer. I would have been in the academy years ago. When you figure it out, you will come back to answer me. ."

It can be said that it is very sincere to say such words from the dean's mouth.

Even though Tianxiang Academy is just an academy in the town, the dean once ranked first among the four talents in the capital, and his reputation and talent are beyond doubt. If it wasn't for an accident at home, he wouldn't have left the capital to come to a small Qingquan Town to teach and educate people.

He met so many students, and he really had the urge to accept him as a direct disciple, Xiao Liulang was the first.

"Just want him so much? I'm not afraid that I can't get over this thorn."

After Xiao Liulang left, the clothed old man inside the screen hummed lightly.

The dean saluted the screen and said with a smile, "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to get down, why don't... Teacher accept him as a disciple?"

There was silence behind the screen. After a long while, the old man sighed softly: "You forgot, I said that in this life, I will never accept apprentices again."

Xiaohou Ye died, the Imperial Academy was closed forever, and the teacher's heart was completely dead.

After school, Xiao Liulang and Gu Xiaoshun returned to the village in Uncle Luo's ox cart. When they left the town, they found that there were several more checkpoints on the official road, all of which were searching for lepers, and the two became more vigilant.

After Xiao Liulang got home, Gu Jiao told him about the old lady's situation: "...she doesn't remember anything."

Xiao Liulang didn't think this was a bad thing, at least not for now, so he wouldn't say anything if he didn't know.

"Is she clamoring to go out?" Xiao Liulang asked.

Gu Jiao shook her head: "That's not true. I told her that she has tuberculosis and can't go out to blow air. The red spots on her face are frozen. Because tuberculosis is contagious, she'd better stay in her own room to avoid it. I'm sick to others. Looking at her appearance, she seems to have listened to it, and she is very peaceful all afternoon. "

Xiao Liulang went to the house to see the old lady. Her condition has improved a lot, and the skin lesions have faded a lot. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see the erythema on her face.

What Gu Jiao didn't say was that after a few days of treatment, her leprosy would no longer be contagious.

At the end of the month, Feng Lin and "Doctor Zhang" made an appointment to treat Xiao Liulang's legs.
