Gu Changqing came to the door, looked at the closed door, and then at Gu Chenglin: "What's wrong?"

Gu Chenglin said, "Oh, I'm waiting for my second brother to eat at my grandmother's place, and my second brother is changing clothes."

Gu Changqing said indifferently: "I'm going to Ling's house tomorrow morning, so prepare for it."

"I see." Gu Chenglin responded.

Gu Changqing looked at the closed door again: "Chengfeng, are you okay?"

Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and put on his clothes, and said, "I'm fine, will my eldest brother go to dinner with grandmother tonight?"

Gu Changqing said, "I'm going to the military camp. I won't be back tonight."

"Are you coming back on New Year's Eve?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Gu Changqing paused and said, "I should be back."

Gu Chengfeng waited quietly in the room, making sure that Gu Changqing's footsteps had gone far. He threw the blood-stained clothes into the charcoal basin and burned it down!

Bishui Hutong.

Gu Jiao also returned home.

There were many bruises and crushes on her body, and she couldn't hide it at all, so she had to explain her own experience honestly.

"The room in the music hall collapsed and I was crushed underneath."

She didn't say that she was in the underground storage room, but even on the ground, she might fall through the cracks and be crushed.

"Jiaojiao, why did you go to the music hall?" Xiao Jingkong asked with his eyes open, his eyes wide, full of worry and sadness.

Gu Jiao moved his little bald head: "Just take a look, it's a pity, the candied haws I bought for you are gone."

The baskets are all crushed.

Xiao Jingkong plunged into Gu Jiao's arms and said aggrieved: "I don't want candied haws! I just want Jiaojiao!"

Gu Jiao leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the little guy who was scared in her arms, and wondering if this is what it feels like to be wanted by others.

"I'm fine." She glanced at the worried little eyes of the people in the room and smiled, "It's really fine."

This injury is nothing to her at all.

But in the eyes of her family, she was so badly injured that she was not allowed to even get off the bed!

The old lady let Gu Jiao rest in bed, and she didn't worry about all the work at home.

Just cooking--

A family sitting in the main room, you look at me, I look at you.

Xiao Liulang cleared his throat and said, "I'll cook."

The whole family: "Don't go!"

How unpalatable cooking your own food is not in your heart? !

The old lady did not touch the sun with her ten fingers, and Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong could not cook, the only thing left was Gu Xiaoshun, but his cooking skills were only a little better than Xiao Liulang.

At this time, the old lady missed Xue Ningxiang very much.

Xiangxiang's cooked food is delicious.

Small headroom: add one.

Gu Xiaoshun: Plus one.

Gu Yan: Plus one.

Xiao Liulang: "..."

Finally, the old lady sighed and went to the next door.

Old Jijiu was writing the couplet in the room, and the door was kicked open with a bang.

Old Jijiu shook his whole body in fright: "I don't have any private money!"

The old lady put the kitchen knife on his table: "Cook."

Old Jijiu: "..."

A quarter of an hour later, Old Jijiu appeared in the stove next door with a black face.

Has the dignified national sacrifice wine reduced to the point where it was used as a cook for a former enemy?

Forget it, he just couldn't bear to have no food for his lover and little grace.

It's not a compromise with the evil country demon queen!

But why are today's dishes so green?

Garlic sprouts, celery, greens, mung bean sprouts...

Lao Jijiu used a kitchen knife to chop and chop on the cutting board, while silently saying in his heart: Don't worry, the first emperor, the old minister will never let your head be green!

"Grandpa Aunt!" Xiao Jingkong yelled from the courtyard.

The old Jijiu put down the kitchen knife: "Come on!"

Emperor Xian who was about to hold the coffin board: "..."

Laojijiu made six dishes and one soup, which was more luxurious than Gu Jiao's cooking lineup.

Xiao Jingkong can’t eat meat. He alone made Wei Wei Jiuzhao (tofu wrapped in vegetarian meat), outsmart Chen Cang (sesame mung bean soup), tips and tricks (fried tofu buns), and tripods (assorted vegetables) for Xiao Jingkong.

Eat a small headroom to feast on.

Not even the most annoying carrot is left!

What he eats is not vegetables, but knowledge!

Only he has it!

Xiao Jingkong shook his head and shook his head, very proud!

Laojiu not only has a good name for the dish, but it also tastes really good.

The old lady was thoughtful: "Well, I might have fallen in love with your cooking skills."

The old Jijiu panicked a lot: No, we were not at the beginning!

Old Jijiu also stewed Gu Jiao with tonic soup.

Xiao Liulang brought in the supplement soup and food to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao sat on the head of the bed, looking at him with bright eyes.

Xiao Liulang was staring at him with her unconcealed eyes. He lowered his eyes, put the food on the table first, and then moved to the small table he usually set up on the bed to do his homework.

He put the table in front of her, arranged the dishes and soup.

Because of the need to heal her wounds, she did a very light diet.

Xiao Liulang looked at a table of colorless food, paused, and said, "If you really are not used to eating, I will bring you some pickles."

Gu Jiao didn't say a word, she just opened her eyes wide, and Blingbling looked at him.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Liulang asked.

Gu Jiao said, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Liulang didn't understand.

Gu Jiao looked at him steadily: "Aren't you afraid of being pressed down and never going out again?"

The situation at the time was really dangerous.

It's not the kind of danger that she would be sacrificed, it's that it would really collapse at any time.

He jumped down without hesitation.

He crawled towards her again in the darkness and danger.

Xiao Liulang didn't think so much at the time.

I didn't think too much about saving her afterwards.

As if this was something he should have done, he himself didn't realize there was something special.

Just being asked by her made him speechless.

Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips: "You look so handsome when you jump down."

In the past, thought he looked good, his face and his figure looked good everywhere.

But the moment he jumped down, he was a truly brave man.

Her little friend has grown up.

Xiao Liulang was praised so that his ears were a little red, so he handed her the spoon and soup bowl: "Eat while it is hot, it will be cold for a while."

"Yeah." Gu Jiao took the spoon and drank in small sips.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Liulang said to Gu Jiao: "The scene is too chaotic, your basket is crushed, and some things have not been recovered."

Gu Jiaohun didn't care: "It's okay, you can buy candied haws if you lose them."

"It's not candied haws, it's..." Xiao Liulang was halfway through when he saw the small medicine box next to her, he snorted and frowned suspiciously.

Maybe, he remembered it wrong.

...

"Master Hou!" Chang Jing returned to the Hou Mansion.

"Why has it taken so long? Is it difficult to save people?" Xuan Pinghou was asking Steward to accompany him to play chess.

Steward ordered the food, and he served two people alone.

Chang Jing said: "It's not difficult to save people, but it's difficult to find out who they are."

The few people were rescued and left. The yamen couldn't make a statement.

But Yamen is Yamen, and Chang Jing is Chang Jing.

Some people who watched the excitement happened to have seen Xiao Liulang, who was selling tea eggs across from the Imperial College.

"I am a student of the Imperial College." Chang Jing said.

"Name?" Xuan Pinghou.

"I didn't inquire." Chang Jing shook his head.

The tea egg seller only met Xiao Liulang, and never spoke to Xiao Liulang.

Steward frowned thoughtfully.

A student of the Imperial College?

Isn't it the young master of my own family?

No, no, it's impossible, this is too cheating!

It must be someone else!

Gu Jiao spent the next two days training at home.

New Year’s Eve is approaching. Not only did the Academy and Guozijian have a holiday, shops on the street have also been closed one after another.

Gu Houye happily went to the book pavilion of his immediate boss, waiting to receive his current year's performance appraisal.

"Given so many gifts, how can it be an excellent one?" Gu Houye walked with wind.

Zhao Shangshu coldly threw the document in front of him.

He picked it up and opened it, suspecting that he had read it wrong, and then looked at it seriously, wondering: "Master Zhao, are you making a mistake? Take other people's evaluation results as mine?"

He gave such an expensive gift and got a bad review in the end?

If this is to stab the emperor, he will have to be trained again!

Zhao Shangshu's eyes were chilly, if it weren't for Master Laohou's sake, he would now rectify this guy on the spot!

How dare to instigate his daughter to beat his son?

It's the other way around!

Master Gu Hou was confused: "How did I offend the adults?"

Zhao Shangshu: Oh, you are not offended, but your daughter will soon beat my son to see the ancestors!

Gu Houye didn't know whether he was miserable by Gu Jiao again, and he thought that the gift was not heavy enough: "Master Zhao, let's discuss things slowly!"

"Discuss a fart!" Zhao Shangshu exploded directly and blasted Master Gu Hou out.

Gu Houye held the first bad review in his career as an official, and he was heartbroken and wronged!

On the other side, Xuan Pinghou also suffered the first wave of blows after returning to Beijing.

Everyone knows that salt transportation is a piece of fat, and so is mining.

Xuan Pinghou’s subordinates finally won a mine, but when they were nearing the mining, they were given a discount. They reported that one of Xuan Pinghou’s retainers had an improper manner, was a local fisherman, and bullied a good family woman.

The evidence was solid, and the emperor immediately dismissed the dog official.

The official was recommended by Hou Xuanping, and the dynasty implemented a continuous sitting system. If the recommended official did something wrong, the recommender would also be punished.

How to punish?

I can't scold me like did before.

The emperor took back the mining rights of the mine and handed it over to others.

Xuanping Hou bared his teeth, what a fucking pain!

After going down, Xuan Pinghou stopped the old man in front of him and said with a playful smile: "Tshuang Taifu, what did you do?"

Taifu Zhuang turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and mocked: "If you want people to know what you can do, let alone the official in the world, is it not pleasing to the eyes of Lord Xiao Hou? Many, it is better to go back and reflect on it."

Xuan Pinghou put his hands in his warm hands: "Why don't you dare to recognize it after you have done it?"

"Xuanpinghou!" Mrs. Zhuang was choked with his hairs on his feet by the indescribable foul language. "This is the palace and the Golden Temple. Please be careful!"

Xuanpinghou looked at him indifferently, and walked away with a cool smile.

Xuanping Hou got into the carriage: "What's the situation? Benhou just came back, so he rushed to add blockage to Benhou?"

The guard said: "It seems... because of Zheng Siye not long ago. Zheng Siye was going to become the Imperial Prison to sacrifice wine, but suddenly there were reports of his misconduct and disrespect for the teacher in the Imperial Prison. There was a bribery account book that circulated wildly in the Imperial College a few years ago, and finally fell into the hands of His Majesty. His Majesty put aside the canonization of the Imperial College of Sacrificial Wine for the time being."

Xuanping Hou squinted his eyes: "So he thinks Benhou did it?"

The guard was silent.

"Does Benhou need to deal with a small business?" Xuan Pinghou took his hand out of the warmer, and picked up a snack on the table: "Chang Jing, Benhou was cheated."

Outside the carriage, Chang Jing clasped his fists: "The subordinates go down and kill him!"

Xuan Pinghou threw the snack back onto the plate: "boring!"

Chang Jing was wronged.

Xuan Pinghou slowed down, and said to him like a kid: "Who is that person at first? Who is behind the scenes?"

"Oh." Chang Jing went to check.

It turned out that the biggest suspect was a student of the Imperial College.

Xuanping Hou was puzzled: "Why is the Imperial Prison again? Did this Hou rush with the Imperial Prison?"

"Actually..." Steward cleared his throat on the side, "I haven't told you something."

"What's the matter?" Xuan Pinghou asked.

Guanshi Liu: "The young master who doesn't want to recognize you is also a student of the Imperial College."

Xuan Pinghou: "..."

...

Gu Jiao got up early on New Year's Eve.

The medicine in the small medicine box was very effective. In just two days, all the bruises and bruises on her body disappeared, and she was able to move her muscles and bones.

This was their first New Year's Eve in Beijing, and it was also the birthday of Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong.

She takes it seriously.

She first went to the front yard and chose two thick and strong bamboos, which were cut down to make firecrackers.

There was no gunpowder in this dynasty. The so-called firecrackers were actually just keeping the bamboo burning in the fire. The bamboo would make a crackling sound, which was very festive.

After making the firecrackers, she is ready to make breakfast.

In the cupboard, there are dumplings made with Laojijiu last night. There are mutton stuffing, cabbage pork, leeks and corn. She has cooked a little bit, and there is also a small empty space. They are filled with plum vegetables and pork.

The family started one after another.

Xiao Jingkong came to the stove to find Gu Jiao first.

"Jiaojiao." Xiao Jingkong hugged her legs, rubbing her little head against her soft belly.

Gu Jiao grinned as he rubbed it, and said, "Go and ask Grandpa Auntie to come over and eat dumplings."

"Yeah!" Xiao Jingkong is a good child of filial piety, and soon went to the next door to call the old Jijiu over.

Not long after, Feng Lin and Lin Chengye also arrived.

Gu Jiao greeted them early and came to Bishui Hutong today.

Feng Lin and Lin Chengye also came. This was also their first year in the capital. They were not used to it. Fortunately, Gu Jiao called them here.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, it was as if they had returned to their own home, and they were all at ease.

Xiao Liulang heard the voices of the two of them, and was about to come out to say hello to them, when he saw Feng Lin whizzing past him: "Lady! I'm here--"

Lin Chengye: "Me too, here--"

Xiao Liulang who was ignored by the two Chi Guoguo: "..."
