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 an aunt.
Old lady: "Well, it's time to visit."
Xiao Liulang went back to the house holding the blanket depressed.
Gu Jiao looked at him in astonishment: "Are you... still sleeping on my side tonight?"
Xiao Liulang felt embarrassed suddenly in his heart: "...I went wrong."
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and put her hands around her chest arbitrarily: "I haven't seen you go wrong after living in Westinghouse for half a year. I have gone wrong after living here for three days."
Xiao Liulang was choked and his ears turned red, and he said angrily, "I said it was a mistake!"
Gu Jiao calmly said, "Oh."
Xiao Liulang: "..."
Gu Jiao did what she said, so that night she counted out the New Year gifts for bribing the teacher.
The next day Gu Xiaoshun came over for breakfast. heard that his sister was going to take him to visit the dean near the hot spring villa. She automatically filtered out the neighborhood and the dean. He was full of hot spring villas and shouted with excitement.
I grew up so big! Haven't been so far before!
I grew up so big! My sister hasn't taken me out yet!
The truth is... If Gu Jiao didn't take him, Xiao Liulang would not allow her to go so far alone in a girl's house.
It’s impossible to take a bullock cart on such a long road. After all, the bullock cart is too slow. It may be dark and they are still swaying halfway, but the town’s carts are closed, and the carriage is not available.
After thinking twice, Gu Jiao showed up in Huichun Hall with her younger brother.
Facing the sudden arrival of Gu Jiao, Er Dongjia looked a little inexplicable: "What advice can Miss Gu give?"
Gu Jiao didn't change her face and said, "I've thought about it. The Hot Spring Villa is indeed not far away. It will be an hour in the carriage. Let's set off quickly! You have the carriage!"
Yesterday, still vowed not to go to the clinic. Why did work change all night?
The Second Dongjia Jiangxin looked suspiciously at the baggage she was holding in her hand, and Gu Xiaoshun, who was also holding a big baggage outside the door, "Why did you bring a person and so many things? They are all for healing?"
Gu Jiao smiled and shook her head: "These are the annual gifts for the dean. I forgot to mention it. My husband's dean lives near the hot spring villa. After seeing the patient, I can stop by and visit his old man!"
Erdong’s tea almost spurted out. I think it’s just too tight for you to visit the dean. Healing people is the way to go. Wouldn’t it hurt to say that the horse-drawn carriage is so refreshing and refined? ! !
The second club finally compromised.
Er Dongjia, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun and the old doctor all got on the carriage.
The carriage ran very fast and arrived at the house near the Hot Spring Villa in less than an hour. The high plaque read Li Mansion.
This should be the dean's other residence.
It is said that the dean originally served as an official in the capital, and his mother was seriously ill. He resigned and left Beijing and bought a separate residence here to support his mother.
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 shabby countrymen, they didn't show any contempt, but they asked politely: "May I ask you who are..."
Gu Jiao said, "My Xianggong and my younger brother are students of Tianxiang Academy and 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 around and said, "In return to the old lady, it is the master's student!"
The old lady said in a bewildered voice: "Why don't you invite someone in? It's freezing cold, let people come in for 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 door of the courtyard and said, "The two, please come in with me. Master, he is out fishing. If it is faster, he may return in a while, or if it is slow, he may return after dark. Only then was the old lady of my family, the master’s mother. "
The servant took the two to visit Old Doctor Li, but when they came to Mrs. Li's bed, the other party was already asleep.
Mrs. Li has reached her old age, and she has no fixed number of wake-ups and sleeps every day like a baby.
"The two of you come to the tea room for a while, I will order tea for the two of you." The servant took Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun to the tea room again, serving tea and burning charcoal, and greeted them very thoughtfully, without a trace. Because of their humble status, they are contemptuous.
Gu Jiao sat for a while, guessing that the dean would not come back so soon, and Mrs. Li did not wake up so soon, so she told the servant that she would go to the dean by herself.
The fishing place was not too far away, and the servant showed her the way.
"I want to go too." Gu Xiaoshun said.
Gu Jiao coaxed: "If the old lady wakes up and finds that neither of us is there, she will feel that we are negligent."
"Oh." Gu Jiao stayed obediently.
Gu Jiao left the house and turned into the carriage of the second house.
"I thought it would be a long time." The second owner said.
"The dean is not there." Gu Jiao asked, "Where is the patient you mentioned?"
"Hey, there." The second owner waved his hand, and saw the end of the trail leading directly to the green hills, the foot of the mountain was beautiful, and the courtyards were scattered.
The second party didn't introduce much about the identity of the other party, except that it was the youngest son of a certain Lord Marquis in the capital, who was born prematurely and had a weakness in his mother's womb. After so many years of searching for famous doctors, he has never been too ostentatious.
"That young man is about your age, and there are rumors that he will not live to be fifteen years old." The second owner said regretfully.
"Isn't there only one year left?" Gu Jiao is fourteen this year.
"Isn't it? However, it may not last June."
"Is he really so sick?"
The second owner sighed and nodded: "Yes, poor Madam Hou, there is only such a son under his knees."
Although there is a sister of dragon and phoenix on the little son, this can't make up for the pain of losing his son.
The second owner didn't explain to Gu Jiao about the information that had nothing to do with the condition.
While talking, the carriage came to the entrance of the hot spring villa.
There is a huge flying eaves archway, with the hot spring villa written in large gilt letters, and on the far right side of the word is a line of cursive script-Ding'an Houfu.
Several people got out of the carriage.
Standing under the magnificent archway, Gu Jiao was as small as a rabbit.
The style of the Hou Mansion is vividly displayed, and this is just a villa under its name.
The Second Dongjia passed by the villa many times, but it was the first time that 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 torii in a daze was not because she was shocked, but was purely wondering if the gold on the torii was real.
