Gu Jiu wanted to copy the scriptures for his dead mother, so he thanked the guests behind closed doors.

Gu Zhen and Gu Lin came here twice, and they both ate behind closed doors.

"My eldest girl, the fifth girl, please forgive me. My girl said, now she has to concentrate on copying the scriptures. When she comes back from Tianmen Temple at the end of the month, she will invite the eldest girl and the fifth girl to come and have tea."

Qingmei bowed slightly, and said neither humble nor arrogant.

Gu Lin frowned, "Second elder sister is in good health, so she has to be busy copying the scriptures, how can this be achieved."

"Thank you five girls for caring. My girl can hold her body after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Chen."

Gu Lin said again: "Second Sister should take good care of her body. You let me in and talk to Second Sister in person."

Qingmei blocked the door, "My girl's kindness is appreciated by the fifth girl. However, it is inconvenient for my girl to meet the guests, so please go back."

Gu Lin was dissatisfied, but she had nothing to do with Qingmei.

Gu Zhen asked: "I heard that the second sister will go to Tianmen Temple with the third brother on the fifteenth of this month, and burn the scriptures copied by herself to the wife in front of the Buddha."

Ome bowed and nodded, "Exactly."

"Second sister is very filial, I don't know how we can help."

Qingmei said: "My girl's kindness is appreciated by the big girl."

Gu Zhen smiled, "It seems that I can't see the second sister today. That's all, the second sister has to concentrate on copying the scriptures, it is inconvenient for us to disturb. Fifth sister, let's go. Come and visit the second sister another day."

Gu Lin hesitated and nodded, "I listen to my big sister."

The two left together, and when they walked to the garden, they separated again.

Gu Zhen went to see Gu Shan.

Gu Lin went to see her biological mother Aunt Bai.

"Auntie, the second elder sister refuses to see me."

"Did you say something wrong before and upset your second sister."

Aunt Bai is gentle and gentle, and it is easy to give birth to a good impression.

Gu Lin shook her head, "My daughter never said anything wrong. I don't know why the second sister refused to see me."

Aunt Bai frowned and thought deeply, "Perhaps like the maid Qingmei said, the second girl is busy copying the scriptures. She needs to be wholehearted and sincere, so she can't be disturbed."

Is that right?

Aunt Bai held Gu Lin's hand, "You go and do the needlework, I'll see your wife."

Gu Lin was puzzled.

Aunt Bai said again: "I have to buy a table of wine and food, and serve the lord to drink at night."

"Will father come over at night?"

Gu Lin looked surprised.

Aunt Bai smiled: "My wife cares about the second girl's situation. I'll go chat for a few words to share my worries for my wife. My wife is happy, and the master will come by himself."

Gu Lin seemed to understand but not understand.

Aunt Bai didn't explain, she got up and took the maid out of the courtyard.

...

Zhilan Academy.

Gu Jiu had changed the maid's clothes and was about to go out.

She asked Qingmei, "Have everyone been sent away?"

Ome nodded, "I've been sent away. Does the girl have to go out?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry. With older brother and cousin Su, there won't be any trouble. Qingzhu, you will stay in the house for me, is there a problem?"

Qing Zhu had changed into Gu Jiu's clothes, and looked restless.

When Gu Jiu left, she would pretend to be Gu Jiu and lay on the bed.

"Girl, is this really okay? If someone finds out, what should I do."

Gu Jiu comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Do what I told you, and you won't be discovered. I will go out with Qingmei, and we will definitely be back within two hours."

Qing Zhu nodded nervously, "The girl must be back soon!"

Gu Jiu followed Qingmei and quietly left Zhilan Academy.

Focusing on the remote and unmanned trails, he left the Cishi Mansion through the back door.

At the door, there was a bullock cart parked.

Gu Jiu boarded the bullock cart directly.

Gu Jue and Su Zheng were already waiting in the car.

"Sister, you finally came. I was still worried about whether you were in trouble and couldn't leave the house."

Gu Jiu said, "Big sister and fifth sister came to visit me. It took a while to get them off. Let's go now."

Gu Jue nodded.

Li Chuan waved his whip, "Drive!"

"Moo"

The old cow yelled up to the sky, ran, and pulled the ox cart toward the south of the city.

The bullock cart is very stable, but the speed is slow.

There is no way.

Five years ago, the imperial court was set up at Qingping Racecourse in the northwest. It was poisoned by the Xiliang and Beirong coalition forces at the water source.

The hundreds of thousands of excellent breeds of horses in the racecourse were all killed and wounded overnight.

Since then, there has been a serious shortage of horses from the imperial court to the people in Dazhou.

Taipu Temple in charge of Qingping Racecourse, from top to bottom, more than a hundred officials, beheaded, beheaded, and exiled.

Due to the Qingping Racecourse accident, the cavalry strength was greatly damaged, and the Dazhou army had to switch from offensive to defensive and enter a passive defense state.

In order to remedy the situation, the court introduced a series of policies, collectively referred to as Ma Zheng.

Two of the most critical horse governance:

First, it is not allowed to buy and sell horses privately. All horse sales must pass through the horse market under the imperial court. If there is an offender, it will flow for a thousand miles for ten days.

Second, limit the number of horses of the rich and the nobles and officials. Those who exceed the number, the surplus horses, must be sold to the court.

Therefore, there are only four horses in the huge governor's mansion. Only for Gu and Xie's travel.

Gu Jiu wanted to go out, so he could only choose an ox cart.

The bullock cart is pretty good except for the slower speed.

Gu Jue and Su Zheng were sitting on the frame, dressed very low-key.

Gu Jiu sat in the carriage and, with the help of Qingmei, changed into a men's suit.

Gu Jiu lifted the car curtain, showed her head, and asked, "How?"

Gu Jue looked at Gu Jiu who was dressed in men's clothes, and was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect my sister to wear men's clothes, she is extraordinarily heroic."

"Really?" Gu Jiu worried that he was too small to support men's clothing.

Gu Jue nodded repeatedly.

Su Zheng also said: "The cousin wears this suit, unexpectedly suitable."

Gu Jiu felt relieved. She wears clothes from Gu Jun's earlier years. They are of the right size, but they are slightly rich and not low-key enough.

She said, "It's just right. Is the drug store here?"

"It's almost here, my sister sits down."

Gu Jue nodded and went back to sit in the carriage.

After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's medicine shop.

Gu Jiu jumped out of the carriage, and Qingmei almost yelled in fright.

Gu Jiu, like a wealthy prince, took Gu Jue and Su Zheng into the drugstore.

When the shopkeeper saw him, he greeted him personally, "Should I see a doctor or dispense medicine?"

Gu Jiu looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be a man, and said, "See a doctor."

The shopkeeper said: "The doctor who sees today has a king..."

"I'm looking for Doctor Xu." Gu Jiu decisively interrupted the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and said hurriedly: "Doctor Xu is not going to see a doctor today."

Gu Jiu took out the prescription and showed a glance in front of the shopkeeper. There is Doctor Xu's signature and seal on the prescription.

The shopkeeper wanted to take a closer look, but Gu Jiu put away the prescription as soon as he took it away.

"Dr. Xu has been seeing a doctor before, and I don't want to change to another doctor. Please be accommodating with the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and seeing Gu Jiu dressed richly, nodded and said: "My son, wait a minute, the younger one will go and ask Doctor Xu."

Gu Jue secretly gave a thumbs up and whispered, "My sister is amazing."

Gu Jiu coughed slightly and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Jue nodded, "I understand."

Soon, Doctor Xu came out of the backyard.

"Who wants to see the old man?"

"It's me!" Gu Jue looked at the other party up and down, his eyes seemed to be evaluating a product, a little casual.

"You are..." Doctor Xu was upset, and the son of another family didn't understand the least etiquette.How can you look at people this way.

Gu Jiu took a step forward, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and said like a knife, "Doctor Xu, nobleman, forget things. Some time ago, my life was almost in your hands. Did you forget it so soon?"

Doctor Xu suddenly realized that he recognized Gu Jiu, "You are Gu..."

"Doctor Xu said carefully. People come and go here, not a place to talk." Gu Jiu smiled and looked at each other.

Doctor Xu became inexplicably guilty, his eyes fluttered, and he said nervously: "Please come to the backyard to speak."
