The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Xiao Liulang really didn't want Gu Jiao to visit the dean's old fox, but this proposal was unanimously approved by his family, who was his aunt.

Old lady: "Well, it's time to visit."

Xiao Liulang depressedly hugged the quilt and returned to the house.

Gu Jiao looked at him in astonishment: "You...are you sleeping with me tonight?"

Xiao Liulang felt a sudden embarrassment in his heart: "...Wrong way."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and put her hands around her chest arbitrarily: "I didn't see you going wrong after living in the Westinghouse for half a year, but I went wrong after staying here for three days."

Xiao Liulang was so choked that his ears turned red, and he said angrily, "I said it was wrong!"

Gu Jiao calmly said, "Oh."

Xiao Liulang: "..."

--

Gu Jiao did what she said, and that night she counted the New Year's gifts for bribing the teacher.

The next day, Gu Xiaoshun came over for breakfast, and when he heard that his sister was going to take him to see the dean near the Hot Spring Villa, he was so excited that he cried out.

I am so big! Haven't been out this far before!

I am so big! My sister hasn't taken me out yet!

The truth is... If Gu Jiao didn't take him with him, Xiao Liulang would not allow her to go out so far alone.

It is impossible to go there by an ox cart. The ox cart is too slow, and it may be dark and they are still wandering halfway, but the car dealerships in the town are closed, and the carriage cannot be hired.

After thinking it over and over again, Gu Jiao and her younger brother appeared in the Huichun Hall.

Facing the sudden arrival of Gu Jiao, the second owner looked inexplicable: "What advice does Miss Gu have?"

Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "I've thought about it, the Hot Spring Villa is indeed not far away, it will be there in an hour by carriage, let's go quickly! You have a carriage!"

Yesterday, I swore that I would never see a doctor. How could I change my mind in one night?

The second owner looked suspiciously at the burden she was holding in her hand, and Gu Xiaoshun, who was also carrying a large burden outside the door, "Why did you bring someone and so many things? Are they all for medical purposes?"

Gu Jiao shook her head with a smile: "These are New Year's gifts for the dean. I forgot to mention that the dean of my husband lives near the Hot Spring Villa. After seeing the patient, I can drop by and visit his old man!"

The second owner almost spit out a sip of tea. I think you are in a hurry to visit the dean. Treating people is the way to go. Wouldn’t it hurt to say that rubbing the carriage is so fresh and refined! ! !

The two owners finally compromised.

The second owner, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun and the old doctor all got into the carriage.

The carriage ran very fast, and in less than an hour, it arrived at the house near the hot spring villa, and the high plaque read the house of Li.

This should be the residence of the dean.

It is said that the dean was originally an official in the capital, and his mother was seriously ill, so he resigned from the office and left the capital, and bought a separate residence here for his mother to take care of her old age.

Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun out of the car and knocked on the closed courtyard door.

Not long after, a domestic servant opened the door for them. Seeing that they were two countrymen in shabby clothes, they did not show any contempt. Instead, they asked politely, "May I ask who are..."

Gu Jiao said, "My husband and my brother are students of Tianxiang Academy, and they came here to visit the dean."

"Ah." The servant was shocked.

"What's the matter?" An old voice came from the house.

The servant hurriedly turned his head and said, "Back to the old lady's words, he is the student of the master!"

The old lady said in a confused voice: "Why don't you invite someone in? It's freezing cold, let someone come in and have a cup of hot tea."

Although Gu Jiao had never met the dean, the attitude of his family and servants made people feel very comfortable.

The servant opened the courtyard door and said, "You two, please come in with me. Master, he has gone out to fish. If he is fast, he may return in a while.

Grandpa's mother. "

The domestic servant took the two to visit Mrs. Li, but when they came to Mrs. Li's bed, the other party was already sound asleep.

Mrs. Li has reached her old age, and like a baby, she wakes up and sleeps every day without a fixed number.

"Come to the tea room and sit for a while, I'll order some tea for the two of you." The servant took Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun to the tea room again, serving tea and burning charcoal. Despised for their humble status.

Gu Jiao sat for a while, guessing that the dean would not come back so soon, and Mrs. Li didn't wake up so soon, so she told the servant that she would find the dean herself.

The fishing place was not too far, and the servant showed her the way.

"I'm going too." Gu Xiaoshun said.

Gu Jiao coaxed: "If the old lady wakes up and finds that we are not here, she will feel that we are neglected."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun obediently stayed.

Gu Jiao left the house and turned around to get into Er Dong's carriage.

"I thought it would be a long time." Er Dongjia said.

"The dean is not here." Gu Jiao asked, "Where is the patient you mentioned?"

"Hey, there." Er Dongjia waved his hand and pointed, and saw the end of the trail leading directly to the green mountain. The foothills of the mountain were beautiful and the houses were scattered. It was the famous hot spring villa of the Houfu of Ding'an.

The second owner didn't introduce too much about the identity of the other party, except that it was the youngest son of a certain Hou Ye in the capital. He was born prematurely and had a weak condition from his mother's womb. After so many years of searching for famous doctors, he was still not too proud.

"That little boy is about the same age as you. It is rumored that he will not live to be fifteen years old." The second owner said regretfully.

"Isn't that only one year left?" Gu Jiao was fourteen this year.

"Isn't it? However, it may not last until June."

"Is he really that ill?"

The second owner sighed and nodded: "Yes, poor Mrs. Hou, there is only one son under her knees."

Although there is a twin sister on top of the young master, it can't make up for the pain of losing his son.

The second owner did not explain to Gu Jiao any information that had nothing to do with the illness.

While talking, the carriage came to the entrance of the Hot Spring Villa.

Here stands a huge eaves archway, with the words Hot Spring Villa written in large gilt characters, and on the far right of the word is a line of small cursive characters - Ding'an Houfu.

Several people got off the carriage.

Gu Jiao stood under the magnificent archway, as small as a rabbit.

The style of the Hou Mansion is vividly displayed, and this is just a villa under its name.

Erdong's family passed by the villa many times, but it was the first time he really came here. To be honest, he was also shocked by the big archway in front of him. Of course, what he didn't know was that the reason why Gu Jiao stared at the archway in a daze was not because he was shocked, but simply wondering if the gold on the archway was real.
