The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 621 Intimacy (Part 1)

Gu Jiao didn't say that he guessed wrong, she wasn't good at arguing with others, and it wasn't something she cared about.

In addition to the allocation of dormitories, Zhong Ding also told the two of them the time and place of their classes, and told them to remember to come to class tomorrow morning and not to be late.

"If you are late, you will be demerited. Tianqiong Academy has strict rules. If you demerit more than three times, you will be expelled from school."

After listening to him babbling for so long, it was finally time for important information.

No demerits, no expulsion from school, after all, Tianqiong Academy is the only way for Gu Jiao to stay in Yan Country.

Coming out of the east courtyard, Gu Xiaoshun still wanted to see the south courtyard, but Gu Jiao didn't really want to go: "It's all the same, there's nothing to see."

Gu Xiaoshun thought about it, and it seemed right, he and his sister were both from Zhaoguo, so could there be a huge difference in the dormitories they were assigned?

"Then let's hurry up and meet up with Master Mistress and the others."

Gu Xiaoshun called Shi Niang Shi Fu in front of others, and only called Da Niang when he was alone with Nan Xiang.

The two returned to the back door of Tianqiong Academy the same way.

To be honest, aside from the purpose of Gu Yan's operation, Gu Jiao is indeed very interested in the prosperous capital of Yan Kingdom, but she has no intention of going to the mountains and rivers before solving Gu Yan's matter.

The carriages of Master Nan and Master Lu had already parked nearby.

Gu Xiaoshun brought their carriage over with a pair of cards, and said heartbrokenly: "Sister, just stop for a while, they charged me a dollar, the country of Yan is too expensive, you really need money everywhere!"

Gu Jiao raised her hand and took off a leaf on his shoulder: "It's okay, it's just a dollar."

Gu Xiaoshun said: "It's still necessary to save some money, and save the money for Gu Yan's medical treatment."

Before they set off, they didn't know that the price of goods in Yan Kingdom was so high, especially the price in Shengdu. A steamed bun cost two knives, a big meat bun cost three knives, and mutton buns four knives...

Nan Shiniang lived in Shengdu more than ten years ago, but at that time it wasn't three buns for one dollar, why did it increase so much?

"It's okay, I also have some savings in the bank." Nan Shiniang said to Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun.

It's true that Gu Jiao didn't see Mrs. Nan, but even adding Mrs. Nan's money might not be enough for them to spend for a long time. It seems that they have to find a way to earn some money.

This is something for later, let's deal with the immediate matter first.

Since entering the country of Yan, Gu Jiao has been inquiring about the operating room along the way, and there is no medical center that has the operating room that Gu Jiao needs.

Either, the operating room was not built, or the things in the operating room were too shocking,

cannot be known to the outside world.

Gu Jiao hoped it was the latter.

At least Gu Yan still has hope.

Nan Shiniang said: "I've already found the house, it's not far from the academy, go out through the back door, walk a mile forward and you'll be there."

It was a two-entry house, with front and back yards, and the backyard was connected to the stove house and woodshed. The area was not too big, but it was enough for a few of them to live in.

There are three wing rooms, a small study room, a room between Mrs. Nan and Master Lu, one between Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan, and the other room belongs to Gu Jiao.

"Master, how much is the monthly rent for this house?" Gu Xiaoshun asked.

Master Nan smiled: "Not much, one hundred taels a month."

"What? One hundred taels!" Gu Xiaoshun was dumbfounded!

Nan Shiniang was amused by his blank look: "The houses near the academy are all rented on a room-by-room basis, and a house is at least twenty taels a month. We have a total of four houses, including a stove house, a firewood house, and two front and back houses. A yard, one hundred taels is not too expensive."

Gu Xiaoshun was speechless: "The Bishui alley is so much bigger than here, and the headroom is only 30 taels, and the location near the Imperial College is also good."

In just one day, Gu Xiaoshun also began to know how to compare locations.

If it is said that there are inner and outer cities in Zhao Kingdom, then the Bishui Hutong where they live definitely belongs to the inner city, while the Suzaku Street where Princess Xinyang lives is very close to the imperial palace, which is the inner city within the inner city.

Gu Jiao said: "It's okay, you can earn more money, let's go and pack things first."

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoshun responded quickly.

"Let's clean it up. Are you going to class tomorrow? Go and prepare the things for class first."

"There is nothing to prepare, the book will be picked up in the classroom tomorrow."

"Then you guys rest for a while." The two children were very tired along the way, and Mrs. Nan felt distressed, and said nothing to let them do it again.

Gu Jiao had no choice but to give up, paused, and said, "Then I'll go and inquire about the nearby medical center."

"Sister, I'm with you."

"it is good."

The two siblings wandered the streets all day, and asked the locals about the largest medical clinics in the outer city of Shengdu, but when they arrived there, there was no so-called operating room, and none of the doctors in the medical clinic had seen or heard of it. through those devices on the drawings.

In the evening, the two returned to the yard sweating profusely.

The food has been prepared, and it is the favorite taste of several children, except that Gu Yan cooks a small stove alone.

Gu Yan looked at the steamed meat with birds in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Nan Shiniang also served Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun with soup, and asked, "Did you find out anything today?"

"Thank you Mrs. Nan." Gu Jiao took the soup bowl and said, "As usual, I didn't find anything."

Nan Shiniang was not too surprised: "Are you sure what you want is available in Yan Country?"

"I've seen its blueprints, and I'm sure there are people in Yan who know about those things. As for whether they were built, I'm not sure."

Mrs. Nan thought for a while: "Otherwise...go to the inner city to see? After all, the outer city is for ordinary people to live in. The best medical clinics and the most skilled doctors are all in the inner city."

"It's hard to enter the inner city." Master Lu sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Mrs. Nan.

"That's true." Master Nan frowned.

Gu Jiao took a sip of the soup and said, "I'll go around the inner city wall in a while to see if there is a chance to sneak in."

Nan Shiniang thought it was very risky to do so, but thinking about Gu Yan's condition, she knew that they didn't have time to wait forever.

She nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, it's easier to hide alone, so my wife will help me take care of Ah Yan at home."

It is a great favor for Mrs. Nan to accompany them to the country of Yan. How could she let Mrs. Nan go into the inner city with her to take risks?

Master Nan opened her mouth.

Master Lu persuaded: "Just listen to Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is smart and quick-witted. She has a sense of proportion and will not be reckless. On the contrary, it is you. It is better for Jiaojiao to be calm."

Master Nan's face darkened: "Your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

Master Lu cleared his throat embarrassingly: "Eat, eat!"

He ate dinner early, and it was still bright after eating, but Gu Yan was exhausted, so Gu Jiao sent him back to his room to rest.

Gu Yan was lying weakly on the hospital bed, unable to do anything, he could only watch Gu Jiao running around desperately for him.

He suddenly felt bad.

Gu Jiao took his body temperature and blood pressure, packed up the small medicine box, and said, "Don't think about it, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Gu Jiao put the night clothes and mask in a small bundle and tied them around her body, and went out to get in the carriage.

Gu Xiaoshun sent her to the inner city wall.

Gu Jiao jumped off the carriage: "Okay, I'll send it here, you hurry back."

Gu Xiaoshun said: "Sister, be careful!"

Gu Jiao hummed: "I know."

After Gu Xiaoshun left, Gu Jiao observed around the inner city wall for a long time, and finally found a carriage parked on the side of the road that was about to enter the inner city.

After Gu Jiao came to the carriage, she slipped into the bottom of the carriage while no one was prepared, grabbed the bars at the bottom of the carriage with both hands, hooked the hub of the carriage with both feet, and stuck her whole body onto it as if it fit perfectly.

This method is actually quite risky, but Gu Jiao seems to be lucky, the carriage was not checked by the up and down when entering the inner city.

Just when Gu Jiao was thinking about finding a street with few people to fall down on, but who would have thought that this carriage was traveling on a large street with pedestrians on both sides, she fell out of the bottom of the carriage inexplicably, and would startle half of the street on the spot.

Gu Jiao gritted her teeth.

she waits.

She continued to wait.

The position was a bit strenuous, and she was drenched in sweat.

The carriage walked a few more streets, and finally it was no longer a busy avenue.

But before Gu Jiao got off the carriage, the carriage drove into a big house on the side of the road.

Gu Jiao: "..."

Why is it called a big house, because after entering it, it was jolted for a long time, and Gu Jiao's brains were almost knocked out before the carriage finally stopped.

The people on the carriage came down and ordered several servants: "Move everything to the warehouse."

"Yes, Master Guan."

The servant answered.

Gu Jiao waited patiently for the people to empty the carriage, leaving only the coachman unharnessing the horse on the spot.

Gu Jiao resisted the soreness all over her body, and fell down from the bottom of the car silently.

She felt that her body was not her own, and she almost lost feeling in her fingers and abdomen.

Now she has to get out of here quickly.

After the coachman unharnessed, he led the horse towards the water tank beside him, and he was about to start brushing the horse.

Gu Jiao took advantage of her unpreparedness and left the stable.

She wanted to find the shortest way out, but when she looked around, she was stunned.

What the hell is this place?

Can't see the wall at a glance!

"there!"

Suddenly, a man's voice with a murderous air sounded, and Gu Jiao felt a familiar and dreadful aura.

Dragon Shadow Guard!

Or to be precise, the dead soldiers of Yan State.

The Zhao Kingdom Dragon Shadow Guards were domesticated by the dead soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, but there is still a significant difference between the two. The Zhao Kingdom Dragon Shadow Guards cannot speak or communicate, and are just tools used by the late emperor to perform tasks.

Not all the dead soldiers of Yan State were like this.

Could it be that he was discovered?

There is a stable behind, and there are dead men from Yan Kingdom rushing in front and to the right, Gu Jiao can only escape to the left.

wall!

Her eyes lit up, she pointed her toes, jumped up, supported the wall with one hand and jumped over.

However--

She did not leave the mansion, but entered a small courtyard in the large courtyard.

This luck!

Is Xiao Heng possessed?

Could it be that she used his name, so she even shared his bad luck?

"Don't forget the things I told you to prepare. If my wife finds out that you are lazy, I can't keep you."

"Sister Lianqiao, don't worry, we won't be lazy!"

Several little maids were about to go around the corridor and walk towards Gu Jiao's direction. Gu Jiao closed her eyes and had no choice but to open the door and enter a room.

A warm scent of incense and medicine came to the nostrils. Gu Jiao is a doctor, so she is not insensitive to this smell.

There are patients.

"You guys, follow me in and have a look!"

"Stop! What are you doing?"

"Madam, it seems that an outsider broke into the house just now, and we are searching."

"How did the search come here? Is this a place you can enter casually?"

"Ma'am, forgive me."

"I'll go in and have a look, you wait outside."

"Yes."

Not long after the conversation fell, Gu Jiao clearly heard the woman's footsteps coming towards the room she was in.

Gu Jiao slapped her forehead.

Is it a little bit like this!

The closet is too full, the bottom of the bed is too narrow, the tablecloth is too short, the beams...

She doesn't know how to do light work, she can't get on the beam!

Gu Jiao came to the bed, lifted the curtain, looked at the middle-aged man who was sleeping on the bed, and said, "I'm offended!"

She climbed onto the bed, thought for a while, pulled back the quilt and got in.

In order not to expose herself, she had to get as close to him as possible and cling to him.

The man was thin and thin, exuding a faint fragrance of cold and medicine.

The woman enters the house.

"Forsythia!"

The woman's tone was not very pleasant.

The servant girl called Lianqiao came over in a hurry: "Ma'am!"

"What did you do? Why didn't you stay guard in the room?" the woman asked.

Lian Qiao hurriedly said: "The maidservant went to bring the medicine, so I went."

Gu Jiao listened carefully to the conversation between the two, quietly holding her breath.

The woman gently opened the curtain.

Gu Jiao could feel the woman's gaze cast towards her.

The woman was dissatisfied: "Why is the quilt so thick?"

Gu Jiao: No, you don't want to lift his quilt, do you?

"The doctor ordered it." Lian Qiao said.

The woman came to the bed, put her hand under the quilt, and touched the man's hand.

Gu Jiao also touched the man's other hand with her fingertip without any trace.

It was cold and not covered thickly.

The woman sighed and put the man's hand back into the bedding.

"No strange things happened in the yard?" asked the woman.

"No, madam." Lianqiao said.

After that, the woman asked a few more questions about the man's diet and daily life, and Lianqiao's answer was probably the same, the same as yesterday, without a big look.

Then the woman left.

"Huh, I was scared to death." Lian Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman told Lianqiao to guard the man, but the girl named Lianqiao sneaked away after less than a quarter of an hour.

Gu Jiao lifted the quilt and sat up, took a few deep breaths, got out of bed, and covered the man with the quilt.

Then she turned and went out.

In the twilight, the man's fingertips suddenly moved.
