    Mrs. Gu made a big fire in the ancestral hall, and everyone in the house knew that Gu Changqing had imprisoned her two younger brothers in the ancestral hall.

    But Gu Houye didn't know the matter. He was caught up in the trivial affairs of the Ministry of Industry recently and hadn't been back to the Hou Mansion for several days.

    "Master Gu, the Ministry of Defense is urging again." An official under Master Gu Hou said.

    Master Gu Hou sat on the chair and looked at the pile of official documents on the table, one at the top and two big ones: "Push, remind, all day long! Isn't it already casting? Only a few days have passed?"

    The officials suffered from the unwarranted disaster and were scolded at both ends, and they were very miserable: "The Ministry of Defense said that our speed is too slow, and they can't wait two months."

    Master Gu Hou said angrily: "If you can't wait, you have to wait! What they want is a weapon, the weapon is made of iron, not muddy! Is it that fast?"

    The officer squeezed a cold sweat: "The Ministry of War said, at most one month, you must make those long swords..."

    "One month? He is daydreaming!" Gu Houye really didn't make those swords for the Ministry of War. It is because their current technology is limited. If they can get Liang Guo's latest water drainage technology, perhaps the iron can be smelted. greatly increase.

    The official said again: "However, the Ministry of Defense said that with such a small amount of weapons, civilian iron shops can make it. Why can't the Ministry of Industry make it?"

    "Can a folk iron shop be made?" Gu Houye smiled sarcastically. "Does their Ministry of War even use the ability to spread rumors for weapons?"

    The official replied: "It’s not Mr. Gu. The next official seems to have really heard about this. The folks have produced a box that is more effective than the water drain of our court. The wind is stronger and the firepower is greater. Smelt ten times more iron."

    "Ten times?" Gu Houye waved his hand, "No, no, absolutely impossible." Kingdom of Liang couldn't do it. Kingdom of Liang taught Zhao Guo the initial water drainage technology, but it would not be ten times with them. difference.

    The official asked: "Why don't you... send someone to check it out? I heard that it is a place called Qingquan Town in Youzhou."

    Gu Houye waved his hand: "Heh, that's even more impossible. This lord has just come from Youzhou! Wouldn't you know that there is such a powerful technology?"

    Gu Houye insisted not to investigate.

    On the other side of the Ministry of War, they couldn't wait and sent someone over.

    In early November, there was a light snowfall in the capital.

    When Xiao Jingkong went out, he didn't look at the way, and he fell over.

    Since going down the mountain, Xiao Jingkong rarely wrestled, and Gu Jiao almost forgot that he was a famous wrestling monk.

    However, he was as adept as ever in throwing himself, hugging his head and bending his knees, like a small ball, rolling around in the yard.

    Gu Jiao just came out of the stove.

    Xiao Jingkong rolled to her feet, and then Xiao Jingkong spread her hands and feet, looking at Gu Jiao cutely.

    Gu Jiao picked up the person and patted the snowflakes off him: "Why did you fall down again?"

    Xiao Jingkong was intoxicated in Gu Jiao's arms: "Because Jiaojiao is so beautiful, I am fascinated by Jiaojiao!"

    Gu Jiao: "..."

    Has the wrestling monk turned into a native-flavored little monk?

    Xiao Jingkong’s hair was short, and worried that he would be cold, Gu Jiao bought him a hat with a tiger head. The tiger’s eyes were big and round, and Xiao Jingkong wore it.

    He generally doesn't wear it in the academy, which is naive.

    But in front of Gu Jiao, he not only wore a tiger head hat, but also a tiger head vest and tiger head shoes.

    After selling Meng, I asked for a kiss and went back to my house with my brother-in-law.

    After finishing his early business, he changed back to Niu Hulu·Kingkong, and went to school with a serious face!

    Gu Yan's body has improved after a few days of cultivation, and he can go to class.

    Gu Jiao prepared the hand warmer, one for her aunt, one for Xiao Liulang and three younger brothers.

    Xiao Liulang took Xiaojingkong to the Imperial College, while Gu Jiao sent Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun to school.

    While walking out of Hu, Gu Yan looked around.

    Gu Jiao asked, "Who are you looking for?"

    "No." Gu Yan looked at the sky with both eyes.

    Have you said yet? In the past few days, have ran to the door every day, looking towards the end of the alley. Gu Jiao is his sister. Can still not know his thoughts?

    However, that person has never appeared since he saved Gu Yan.

    Gu Jiao took the two into the academy and went to Chang'an Avenue.

    Having been here for so long, she has mastered the terrain nearby.

    She thought about it, although they still have a thousand taels of silver on hand, the prices in the capital are so high that they can't really sit and eat at home.

    She bought herbal medicines at the market and prepared some medicines for golden sores, and planned to sell them in a nearby medical clinic.

    As soon as she walked to the first hospital, she saw an acquaintance: "Xiao Liu."

    The young man called Xiaoliu turned his head in a daze, his eyes lit up: "Miss Gu? Have you come to the capital?"

    Gu Jiao nodded: "My father-in-law came to the Imperial College to study, and we all moved here."

    Little Six hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Young Master Xiao and Congratulations to Girl Gu!"

    Little Six was the coachman of the second club. He had ran a lot of legs for Gu Jiao when he was in the hospital. He also got the iron tools for driving the mountain.

    "Where is the second party?" Gu Jiao asked.

    Xiao Liu's expression dimmed: "The situation at the second club is not very good. I can't understand it in a few words. He is in the tavern over there. Let me take the girl over."

    "Okay." Gu Jiao agreed.

    On the way to the tavern, Little Six said something more or less, probably because Er Dong's sudden return to Beijing was because Master Hu was about to die.

    The second house rushed back to the capital without stopping, but still failed to see Master Hu for the last time.

    The Hu family buried Master Hu without even waiting for the second house to return.

    In fact, the Er Dong's family was only one day late. If you wait for this day, the Er Dong's family can personally see off his father, and the Hu family will not even give him such a chance.

    This is not the most hateful. The most hateful thing is that the Hu family actually beat him up, slandering the Second Dong Family for being indifferent even when the old man is sick, and he didn't come to the funeral.

    Zhaoguo ruled the world with filial piety, and a hat of unfilial piety was buckled, and the reputation of the Second Dong Family was over.

    "He was kicked out by the Hu family..." Xiaoliu wiped tears and couldn't help but feel wronged and heartbroken for the Er Dongjia.

    "I see." Gu Jiao came to the door of the wing of the tavern and said to Little Six, "You go to the endpoint and get hot tea."

    "Yeah!" Little Six choked down and turned to find hot tea.

    Gu Jiao entered the wing, a pungent smell of alcohol came over her face.

    I haven’t seen him for several months. The once vigorous Second Dong’s house is like a sloppy drunk, slumped on the floor without an image. don’t know how many empty wine bottles have been poured beside him. He stared at the roof blankly without moving. , As if dead.

    Gu Jiao stepped over the wine bottle, squatted down beside him, opened the small medicine box, and took out two anti-alcoholic pills: "Here."

    The second owner did not move.

    At this time, Little Six entered the house with hot water.

    Gu Jiao took the hot water and asked Little Six to help her second Dongjia and force him to take the anti-alcoholic medicine.

    Xiaoliu looked at the disheveled, shaggy beard of the second owner's house, and said with a choked voice, "Master, Miss Gu is coming to see you."

    Second Dongjia sat on the ground with a dull expression.

    Gu Jiao glanced at him and asked calmly, "How did your father die?"

    The Second Dongjia returned to his senses, staring blankly at Gu Jiao. The emotions that he didn't dare to vent in front of his family suddenly collapsed. His tears fell uncontrollably, and he hugged his head, crying and trembling all over!

    Gu Jiao didn't bother him.

    Wait quietly for him to finish crying.

    Little Six retired with red eyes.

    I don't know how long it took, the second owner finally calmed down.

    He wiped his tears with his sleeves and looked at Gu Jiao with a smile: "Girl, why are you here?"

    "Come with me to study at the Imperial College."

    "Ah, Young Master Xiao is in high school, that's really congratulations!"

    "what's wrong with you?"

    Xu is the anti-alcohol medicine has worked, and Xu is all crying, and the whole person feels a lot better. He smiled nonchalantly: "It's nothing, after a while, it makes you laugh."

    "Back to Hu's house?" Gu Jiao asked.

    The second owner was taken aback.

    After a long while, he smiled bitterly: "I can't go back."

    "How is your father treating you?"

    The second owner thought for a long time: "...it used to be better."

    Before his mother died, the family of three had a happy life. Since he had a stepmother in the family, he has also had a stepdad.

    "So you blame your stepmother?"

    The second host wanted to say, how many good stepmothers can there be in the world? When I reached my lips, I suddenly remembered that Gu Jiao's mother was also a stepmother.

    He said: "If my stepmother could be half as kind as Madam Hou, I wouldn't be so."

    "But it's useless. No matter how kind she is, her three stepsons still don't like her."

    "So you think I was wrong?"

    "No, none of you are wrong. I don't comment on the Hou Mansion's affairs, but your father is the one who was wrong. He was so mean to you, why do you feel sorry for his death?"

    Gu Jiao wasn't blaming the second party, she really didn't understand.

    There is no such item in her emotional reserve.

    Whoever treats her well, she treats whoever is good, and whoever bullies her, she bullies her back, even if the other party is her own father.

    She looked at the second owner weirdly.

    The Second Dongjia had known that she was a different girl, and her thoughts were different from them. He smiled bitterly and explained patiently: "Actually, I don't understand. Maybe... I just remembered what he had done to me. Click on it."

    Gu Jiao still didn't understand.

    Maybe she won't understand it all her life.

    "Not going back to Hu's house, what are you going to do?"

    "have no idea."

    Gu Jiao thought about it seriously: "Why don't you sell medicine with me!"

    Second owner: "..."

    No comfort, thank you!

    At first, the second house thought that Gu Jiao was really going to take him to sell medicine, but later realized that Gu Jiao was going to open a medical clinic.

    The second owner of the capital is invested, and Gu Jiao Technology has invested in the shares, each accounting for 50% of the shares.

    If others persuaded the second party to do so, the second party would definitely not agree. He didn't have the confidence and the fighting spirit.

    Gu Jiao is different.

    There is a convincing power in her.

    The second owner said, "Okay! Just do it!"

    It's just that the Second Dong's family was expelled from the Hu's family, and there was not much money on hand. Even if the cheapest shop nearby was set up, it would cost at least three thousand taels before and after.

    "I can lend you a little bit." Gu Jiao said, "but interest is calculated."

    Second host: always feel something is wrong!

    At noon, Xiao Liulang came back for dinner. Gu Jiao told Xiao Liulang about the use of silver. There were still 1,000 taels left in the house, and she probably spent 800 taels.

    In the study, Xiao Liulang was sorting out the books to be taken to the academy. Hearing this, he said without even thinking: "The silver is for you to use, so you don't have to tell me."

    So generous.

    Gu Jiao said, "Don't you ask me what I do?"

    "What are you doing?" Xiao Liulang asked.

    "Lending usury!" Gu Jiao said.

    Xiao Liulang looked dumbfounded.

    "Haha." Gu Jiao was amused by him again, "You lied to someone else! You also know that person, the second owner of Huichuntang."

    Xiao Liulang said unintentionally, "I heard that you have been a medicine boy in his house?"

    Gu Jiao blinked her eyes and said, "Who told you?"

    Xiao Liulang said: "Mother-in-law."

    Gu Jiao: "..."

    Since discovering that her box might be a small medicine box, Xiao Liulang has faintly guessed something, but he didn't open it if she didn't say it.

    They all have secrets for each other.

    His identity, her origin.

    Xiao Liulang picked up a cup of hot tea on the table and took a sip.

    Gu Jiao snorted and pointed to another cup of tea on the table: "This is what I just drank, and this cup is for you."

    Xiao Liulang had a look.

    Gu Jiao looked at him and looked at him: "You drank what I drank too, rounded up. Are we two indirect ones?"

    Xiao Liulang Jun's face blushed, put down his teacup, and said solemnly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't drink where you just drank it!"

    "Oh." Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, don't blush if you have the ability, "I'm going to cook."

    "Yeah." Xiao Liulang looked serious.

    Gu Jiao glanced at him one last time, then turned to cook.

    Xiao Liulang breathed a sigh of relief as the sound of pots and pans ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, bang, pots, pans, and pans.

    He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully.

    "Brother-in-law!"

    Little headroom suddenly jumped in!

    Xiao Liulang choked with a guilty conscience, choked on choke... choked to death!
