I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Du Yuanwai held his wife's hand excitedly and kept calling

After a while, Madam Du finally woke up faintly.

As soon as they woke up, the couple hugged each other and cried, showing their deep affection.

Afterwards, Madam Du got out of bed, and bowed to Gu Mingying with tears in her eyes: "Thank you Mr. Gu, if it weren't for you, I might not be able to get back my life."

Gu Ming smiled gratifiedly and said, "Madam Du, you are welcome!"

Madam Du said solemnly: "It may be just a little effort for you, but for this concubine, it is a life-saving grace."

After a few words of courtesy to each other, Gu Ming bid farewell and left.

Du Yuanwai looked at his back and said: "Mr. Gu, my wife and I will definitely come to pay you back tomorrow!"

As soon as she returned to the study, Nie Xiaoqian rushed forward and asked, "I heard that Mrs. Du is ill, how are you doing now?"

"It's okay, she was overly frightened"

Gu Ming briefly explained the reason.

"So it's so unexpected that you are now a doctor."

"Haha, I can't talk about the doctor. Mrs. Du is not suffering from a disease, so the doctor is helpless."

"Well, by the way, come home with me later, okay? Have a meal with Dad. I think he seems to be very worried recently. Why don't you help enlighten him."

"No problem, why don't you go to Caichen now, you tell Leping and the others, I have to leave beforehand."

Ning Caichen was chatting with two scholars about poetry, when he heard Gu Ming's order, he immediately responded.

Not long after, the two of Gu Ming returned to the county government office.

Yu'er was watering the flowers, and when she saw Gu Ming coming, she went up to greet her, and then ran to make tea.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Nie Hongshu walked into the courtyard with a heavy heart.

"Father-in-law!"

"Oh? My son-in-law is here too."

Nie Hongshu raised his hand with a smile, and sat down at the stone table.

After chatting for a while, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if my father-in-law has heard that Madam Du and her party were attacked by wolves?"

"Ugh!"

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but sighed and nodded.

"I've heard that I sent those two yamen servants to Qingfeng Town, and there has been some unrest there recently."

"what happened?"

Nie Hongshu didn't respond positively, but shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know what Nie did wrong. As soon as he took office, strange incidents happened one after another."

"Father-in-law, this is none of your business. There must have been many similar incidents before, but Qin Shou just ignored it."

After all, this is the world of Liao Zhai, where ghosts and ghosts are everywhere, and it is normal for strange events to happen.

It's abnormal if it doesn't happen.

"Even so, I still feel panicked in my heart."

"What happened in Qingfeng Town?" Gu Ming asked again.

"Wolf trouble"

Nie Hongshu slowly explained the reason.

About half a month ago, a butcher surnamed Zhang in Qingfeng Town finished selling his meat and went to a tavern to drink some wine before returning home with a burden.

At that time, the sky will be dark but not dark.

But Butcher Zhang didn't care, anyway, he wasn't very far from home, and he was used to returning home late.

When walking halfway, I was shocked to realize that there were actually two gray wolves behind me.

Butcher Zhang was in a cold sweat, and the alcohol disappeared, and he rushed home in three steps at a time.

As a result, as soon as he accelerated, the two wolves also accelerated.

In desperation, Butcher Zhang simply stopped and picked up a bone left over from the sale and threw it out.

One of the wolves immediately stepped forward to bite.

So Butcher Zhang threw another

After repeating this several times, the bones were gone, but the two wolves were still following closely, and seemed ready to attack at any time.

In a hurry, Butcher Zhang saw a haystack nearby, so he hurried over.

Then he put down the burden, held the butcher's knife tightly in his hand and leaned against the haystack, ready to fight the two wolves to the death.

It turned out that there was only one wolf left, squatting not far in front of him and staring at it.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, butcher Zhang gritted his teeth, his figure suddenly rose, and he slashed at him with a knife.

No matter how cunning a wolf is, how can it compare to humans?

It didn't expect Butcher Zhang to move as soon as he said it, and was hacked to death before he could fight back.

Afterwards, Butcher Zhang hurried to the haystack, and as expected, the other wolf had already submerged half of its body in the haystack.

Obviously, they wanted to dig out a hole and attack him from behind.

But the wolf should have sensed the movement and hastily backed away.Before it could back out, Butcher Zhang struck again, finally beheading both wolves.

After that, he happily carried the wolf carcass back to the village, peeled off the relatively intact wolf skin, and distributed the wolf meat to the villagers.

Hearing this story, Gu Ming couldn't help but think of a little story in Liaozhai: Wolf.

I roughly remember these two sentences: "One carcasses return late, the burden is exhausted, and only the bones are left. The two wolves on the way traveled a long way."

"Could it be that because of this incident, the wolves took revenge?"

Gu Ming couldn't help asking.

"That's right!"

Nie Hongshu nodded with a serious face.

"Actually, there have been wolves in Qingfeng Town since ancient times, but they are rare, and most of the time they stay in the deep mountains.

Not two days after Butcher Zhang slaughtered wolves and ate meat, their village was attacked by wolves.

Fortunately, the villagers reacted quickly and organized their personnel in time. In the end, three people were injured, but no one was killed.

But the matter didn't end there. Those wolves came almost every night, and almost all the chickens, ducks, cattle and other domestic animals in the village were killed.

Later, wolves also appeared in the town, and two people were killed.

The reason why I sent people to investigate was because someone reported that the pack of wolves were not ordinary wolves.

Because someone once saw a wolf as big as a calf, and suspected it was a wolf demon."

"A wolf the size of a calf?" Gu Ming was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's what they reported. It remains to be seen whether they are exaggerating."

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, why don't you send a few policemen to come with me and go to Qingfeng Town tomorrow to find out."

"I'm really embarrassed to trouble you every time."

"Father-in-law is gone, we are all a family."

"Hahaha, yes yes yes, one family." Nie Hongshu stroked his beard and smiled, and then his heart moved: "By the way, you and Xiaoqian are also in love, how about choosing an auspicious day to get married?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian immediately blushed and glanced at Gu Ming shyly.

It seems that she has no objection.

After all, she is 19 years old. If she were the daughter of an ordinary family, she might be able to play soy sauce.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Ming is also eager to get married as soon as possible.

After all, the feeling of being single is really uncomfortable, the long night is long, and there is no sleep, only the fifth girl will never leave.

However, he had already planned for getting married, but he just didn't bring it up.

Now that Master Taishan proposed, he can only express his thoughts.

"Father-in-law, Xiaoqian, in fact, I wanted to discuss with you about getting married before.

My thinking is like this, why not wait until after the provincial examination, if I win the exam, wouldn't it be better to marry Xiaoqian in a grand manner? "

"Hahaha, good, good, a good man should have ambition!"

Not only was Nie Hongshu not angry, but he laughed out loud.

It was originally planned to change [-] characters, but now it is [-]. Please ask for the next monthly ticket and recommended ticket.

Chapter 90 Little lady, are you coming to our study?Take care of food and lodging!

Hearing Gu Ming's words, Nie Xiaoqian also had a look of relief and joy.

Either way, it was a promise after all.

And she can also understand Gu Ming's thoughts.

If the two get married now, someone will make sour remarks behind their backs, thinking that Gu Ming has climbed a high branch.

Although Gu Ming ran the study, he also made a lot of money.

But having a lot of money does not necessarily mean having status and prestige. At worst, you can be regarded as a land fortune or a businessman.

Only fame can be widely recognized and respected by people.

Although scholars also have fame and fame, they are relatively common and belong to the entry level, basically they will not have too special status.

Otherwise, he would not be often dubbed a "poor scholar".

Juren is different, it can be called soaring into the sky.

The so-called non-kneeling of scholars when they meet officials is actually limited to the county level. When they meet officials at the government level, they have to kneel when they should kneel.

It's different if you win the exam. Even if you have committed a crime, you don't have to kneel in court, and you can't punish it.

When the common people see Juren, they have to respectfully call him a master.

Therefore, if Gu Ming really wants to marry Nie Xiaoqian after he wins the election, not only will he not invite people to gossip, but it will also become a good story about a talented man and a beautiful woman.

It is also based on these reasons that Gu Mingfang said those words.

At the same time, it also strengthened the determination to take the exam.

Even if it's nothing else, you have to fight for your breath.

As for being an official, it's fine, as long as he has fame and fame, Gu Ming really doesn't care about being an official.

He even planned to straighten out everything in the future, and he wanted to persuade Mr. Taishan not to be an official.

After all, there are many right and wrong in the officialdom, and although there are many privileges, there are also many unstable and restless factors.

After chatting for a while, Mama Liu and Yu'er began to bring food and wine to the table.

Weng and son-in-law drank very happily.

If it wasn't for his daughter watching over him, Nie Hongshu might have to get drunk again.

The next morning, Yuanwai Du and his wife came to the study early and prepared a generous gift: a jewelry box.

There are several gold ornaments and jade wares inside, and it is estimated that they can be worth several hundred taels of silver.

"Mr. Gu, I just want to give it to Miss Nie. Please don't hold it against me."

It's not that the couple deliberately please Nie Xiaoqian. After all, Gu Ming is not an ordinary scholar, and it seems too vulgar to give money directly.

Therefore, the couple discussed for a while, and decided to give a curvy gift, picking out some jewelry and giving it to Nie Xiaoqian.

This not only shows sincerity, but also looks good on both sides.

After giving way to each other, in the end, Gu Ming still accepted the other party's wishes.

Otherwise, Yuanwai Du and his wife would feel very sorry.

When Nie Xiaoqian came to the study, Gu Ming handed over the jewelry box and explained the reason.
