Gu Yuan left the north of the city and went straight to the busy city in the west of the city.

More than 50 taels of silver, he didn't intend to give it directly to Mrs. Liu.If it was directly given to Mrs. Liu, it would probably be the fate of being buried in the ground.It's better for him to buy some food and take it home, even if he suffers some nagging, it's better than burying it in the ground.

Considering that there are a lot of things to buy, Gu Yuan first bought a two-wheeled frame cart in the carpenter's workshop and spent three taels of silver.Pulling the rack cart by himself, he bought a mule at the barter for five taels of silver.

Equipped properly, Gu Yuan started shopping.Rice noodles, grains and oil are necessary, a few cans of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, several sets of quilts and mattresses, a few bolts of cotton and linen of various colors, and a ten-ten box of pastries and candies.

Buy a few good plasters for dad, a bow and arrow for elder brother, and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone for younger brother.Grandma and sister, each with a pair of carved silver bracelets.

After a while, there were more than 50 taels of silver, and there were only more than ten taels left.The shelf cart is also full of piles.

Gu Yuan tied up his things, pulled the mule, and drove out of the west of the city towards his home.

Ye Mansion, Yanhua Courtyard.

Xu Siqi's underwear was already soaked, he withdrew his hand tremblingly, fearing that his life would be lost.

Wei Shi and Xu Siqi looked at each other and asked, "How is it?"

Xu Siqi blinked, "It's okay, I'm hurting the heat, I'll wait for the little one to go back and pick up some medicine and drink it."

Ye Yushu withdrew his hand, "Mother, let me just say it, it's just hurting the heat, so don't make a fuss. I'm going to take a nap, mother should go back and rest soon."

Wei waited for Ye Yushu to lie down on the bed, tucked him in the quilt, beat the servant girl carefully, and hurried out of Yanhua Courtyard.

At the courtyard gate, Xu Siqi folded his hands and was waiting for her.

Wei Shi stopped Xu Siqi's words, "Go, go to the gazebo."

Yefu's gazebo is built on a rockery, open on all sides.Standing in the gazebo, you can see clearly at a glance whether there is anyone below.

Pushing away the servant girl, Xu Siqi knelt down in the gazebo, "Madam, Missy, yes, it's Ximai."

Wei's heart sank to the bottom, "Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true! A month ago, the old slave went to the doctor to find out that there was something wrong with the young lady's pulse, but the pulse was really invisible, and I couldn't find it all the time. It's been a month, and the pulse finally showed up, so I called the old slave. out."

Wei Shi clenched his hands tightly, "My poor Shu'er. No! I can't! You absolutely can't let this evil species be born, you go and prescribe the medicine immediately!"

Xu Siqi trembled with his hands, "Ma'am, I have noticed that since my brother was... there are very few medical books about my brother in this world. This prescription is available here, but there is no dosage explanation, and there is no increase or decrease in medicinal properties. If it is used directly like this, I am afraid that it will cause great damage to the young lady's body!"

"That can't be..." Wei slammed the teacup on the stone table, "I don't care how you use the medicine, this evil seed must be aborted by me. If it really damages the body, is it possible that the ginseng and ganoderma can't make up for it? Get back quickly, boil the medicine!"

Xu Siqi rolled down the pavilion profusely in sweat.

Wei Shi gritted her silver teeth, she must not let Shu'er, the master, and her sons know about this matter, she must quietly abort the child, and then she will find any illness to prevaricate Shu'er.

Gu Yuan didn't know that his mother-in-law was planning to murder his child.He led the mule to the west, and at the head of Liujia Village, he saw a middle-aged woman pulling a young man, whose figure looked very familiar.

When he got closer, Gu Yuan finally saw the person clearly. Isn't the one with the drooping head his good brother Gu Lin?

Seeing Gu Yuan, Gu Lin hoarsely shouted, "Second Brother, Second Brother, save me quickly."

The middle-aged woman followed Gu Lin's gaze and saw the cart full of things, her eyes lit up, "Yo, this is the second nephew, right? What did you buy, let me see it quickly look."

She threw Gu Lin away, ran over bumpily, grabbed a piece of indigo cotton cloth from the cart, "This is the best cotton cloth, it's so comfortable to wear as an underwear..."

Gu Yuan recognized that this was the original owner's eldest aunt, Ma Shi, who was not very mean-spirited, just stingy and greedy for money.

Ma Shi tried hard with his hands, but the cotton cloth was tied too tightly, and he couldn't pull it out after pulling for a long time.She smiled awkwardly, "It's too polite for my second nephew to come here and bring so many things."

Gu Yuan drooped his eyelids, feeling a little displeased, "Tell me, what is it!"

Mrs. Ma heheed, and said awkwardly: "Isn't it that the family is almost unable to open the pot? Just thinking about the five hundred copper coins that your uncle lent you to your family, and the last time you received two taels of silver for your elder brother's marriage proposal, Is it time to pay it back?"

Gu Yuan threw away the reins in his hand, walked around the mule, walked to the back of the carriage, and began to untie the rope.

Ma Shi trembled, took two steps back, and moved a little away from him, with a smirk on his lips.

Gu Lin ran to Gu Yuan's side, seeing that his eldest aunt who had been bullying him was too frightened to move by his second brother, holding her breath and covering her mouth for fun.

Gu Yuan rubbed Gu Lin's messy hair, picked out a bag of polished rice, two boxes of pastries, a can of lard, and the piece of cotton cloth that Ma Shi wanted from the cart, and then took it out of his arms. Three taels of silver were placed on top of the cotton cloth.

"These things are for uncles, aunts, and cousins. There are about three taels of silver. Do you want to weigh them?"

Ma Shi smiled from ear to ear and waved his hands again and again.All these things on the ground are worth two taels of silver, so how can you use to weigh such a big piece of silver on the cotton cloth?

Gu Yuan tied up the rest again, carried Gu Lin to sit in front of the car, and continued driving home with the mule.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Mrs. Ma couldn't help throwing herself on top of a pile of things, "Oh my mother, my sister-in-law's family is about to prosper. No, I have to go back and explain to the baby and his father. The two families have to move around. Mother, why didn't I have a daughter?..."

Ma Shi smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, afraid that someone would steal something, he resisted and hugged by himself, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Here, Gu Lin was shaking his legs, holding his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said happily: "Second brother, where did you get the money to buy these things? Brother Baishu's pens are not as good as the pens you bought!"

"I earned money by hunting with Uncle Zhang. The restaurant settled the bill every month, so I only got the money today." Gu Yuan explained.

"It's all made from hunting? Is hunting so profitable? I want to learn how to hunt too!" Gu Lin made a serious face.

Gu Yuan asked: "Aren't you going to learn characters?"

Gu Lin hesitated for a while, "But hunting makes money..."

Gu Yuandao: "Didn't you always want to go to school? You still have some money left this time, so you might as well pay Shu Xiu when you go back. You can go to school with your brother Baishu. In the future, try to get a Jinshi exam and become a high-ranking official." .”

Gu Lin was taken aback, "Second brother, can I go to school?"

Gu Yuan looked back at him, "I said yes."

Gu Lin got off the scooter, ran to Gu Yuan, and looked at him sideways, "Second brother, you are so kind! Second brother, you are the best second brother! Second brother, I will definitely study hard in the future! Second brother, second brother... ..." Gu Lin jumped up and down happily.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, I'm afraid that this little trickster will be noisy and tired in the future.

After entering Lijia Village, they were once again surrounded by spectators.In particular, the road between Lijia Village and the main road runs at the east end of the village.Not far from the east end of the village, there are three big mud houses with gray tiles, which are the uncle's new house.

Gu Yuan's aunt Yu Shi stood at the door of the room, looking at the cart in astonishment, and then her face suddenly turned red.She was so angry that she thought that the third family was stupid, but they had saved so much money.

No, then you can’t save so much, can you?What kind of fortune did the third family make?

Yu's jealous face deformed, he let out a loud bang, and closed the door.

Gu Yuan also noticed this auntie's acting, she slammed her hands, opened a box of candies, distributed one to each of the children who were staring at the cart, and broke out from the encirclement.

When I got home, the family members were both surprised and happy.Each took their own things and couldn't stop laughing.

In the evening, the family happily went to the main room, and invited Mrs. Hong to sit in the middle, and the six members of Gu's family sat around the square table.There is a large pot of dumplings in the center, and a large pot of egg and sour soup next to it.

After these few days, Hong finally had a smile on his face, "Well, A Yuan is capable. Grandma was wrong in the past. As for A Yuan's decision to let A Lin study, I didn't say it. , This is a good thing, even if Ah Lin didn’t pass the exam, then our family can be regarded as a scholar. If you pass the exam, it’s not you who will be proud in the future!”

Mrs. Liu smiled and filled dumplings for Mrs. Hong, "Look at what mother said, how dare I disagree!"

Gu Lin chuckled, caring only about being happy about his study, he was even annoyed that Mrs. Liu only served him half a bowl of dumplings.

Gu Xiu shook her wrist, watching a pair of silver bracelets jingle on her wrist, "This bracelet is really beautiful!"

Liu hit her on the head with a chopstick, "Hurry up and eat. Give me the bracelet later, and I'll keep it for you!"

Gu Xiu pursed her mouth and picked up the dumplings.

The long-awaited dumpling feast seemed to be secondary.After hurriedly finishing their meal, Liu Shi and Hong Shi got up to organize their things.

Three sacks of polished rice total 150 catties, three sacks of refined flour weigh 150 catties, two jars of lard, three jars of sesame oil, and three catties of fine salt are for food.

There are also three sets of cotton quilts, two bolts of indigo cotton, two bolts of green cotton, three bolts of black cotton, and three bolts of gray linen. These are the fabrics.

For the rest, there are seven big boxes of sweets and snacks in total.

Mrs. Liu cut out five feet of cloth, took two boxes of pastries, and asked Gu Lin to send them to Ji Baishu's house. "The hundred books teach you how to read every day, you have to remember this kindness."

Gu Lin nodded indiscriminately, and ran out with his things in his arms.

Gu Cheng had already gone to the forest behind the village to try his luck with a bow and arrow on his back.Gu Quan happily put the plaster on his leg.

After packing up their things, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Hong could finally rest. They sat in the room, touching the silver bracelets on their wrists for joy.

Hong's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Oh, I don't arrange flowers or show off in my whole life. I'm old and I'm wearing gold and silver again."

Liu's words were duplicity, "I didn't say that, that damn child, A Yuan, is getting more and more disobedient, I can't control him anymore, let him do it on his own."

Hong patted the third daughter-in-law's hand, "I don't think you should worry about him anymore, just wait for Feng Guanxia Pei, and let Ah Yuan, Alin, give you an order!"

When Mrs. Liu was told by Mrs. Hong, she felt sweet in her heart, "How dare you think about that?"

Mrs. Liu lowered her head, picked up the scissors, and clicked, she had to quickly cut two clothes for A Yuan, he was the tallest one in the house, and the original clothes couldn't cover him anymore.Ah Lin is going to school and has to make some new clothes.
