A misty rain painting the hometown

February of the first year of Hongyuan.The Cheng River is clear and clear, wild ducks are chasing and playing on the bank, a ferry is docked at the pier, and three young men walk out of the boat. The three of them step up the fifty stone steps and look directly at the Caoying County Government.

Southwest Street in Caoying County is full of trees.

The southernmost point, the ancient mansion.

There are sporadic eaves, winding corridors connected to wall screens, lotus ponds, rain pavilions, flower gardens, four quiet posthumous courtyards, and four rows of wing rooms for guards and servants, passing through the first, second, and third entrances.

It was the end of the time, the big kitchen in the southeast corner of the ancient mansion.The seven wooden sticks are burning, the five stoves are brightly lit, the two girls who burn the fire, and the three cooks who hold the spoon are busy with their own affairs.Two dishes of vegetarian dishes and a big bowl of rice are being put into the food box in order.

"Hey, where's Tanggu Duck?"

"here."

After handing over and receiving, the Tanggu duck was stacked on the top of the food box, and the cook had already fastened the lid.Outside the window, a simple and honest man poked his head in.

"Are you ready?"

"All right."

The strong man entered the door and took the food box, walked straight to the small stone path on the right hand side of the kitchen, passed through a dense forest to the backyard gate of the ancient mansion, and then stepped on a stone road up the mountain, and then there was a lush bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest is a small courtyard.Green grass grows in the vine fence, and three or five wild flowers are attracting bees and butterflies.Directly opposite, the three rooms are the main wing room, the study room on the left and the lower room on the right. The kitchen and firewood room are on the left, and there is a well in front of it. The open space near the fence gate is a stone table. It is a bamboo pole for drying clothes.

An hour ago, in the bamboo forest courtyard.Qingqiu tidied up the bedding, helped his young master out of the house, and set up pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the stone table in the courtyard, and waited for the young master to practice calligraphy.

Bai Xueyan is soft, and Wan Mo is thin.

The hand holding the pen is slender, staring at the ink-stained pen, Qingqiu's eyes are upturned, he is very proud, even the old master praised the young master for his good handwriting.

With a flick of the wrist, the nib of the pen hangs in the air, and the ink condenses into beads.On his pale face, his eyebrows were slightly disheveled, and he moved his waist quietly as if he was not used to it.

The pen didn't come down for a long time, only Mo Zhuer made a tick, rendering a piece of high-quality rice paper.

The nib of the pen wipes away, whether it is light or heavy, thick or thin, hooked and drawn, and the lotus of the evening night is ready to come out.Qingqiu's eyes are wide open.

"Young master is amazing."

"Ah."

Gu Ji made a sound from his nasal cavity, he was helpless, and this boy was very noisy.

"Uncle Li!"

The strong man approached with a food box, he looked at Qingqiu and nodded in response.The bronze muscles exposed in a bunt show that this strong man is a trainer, and Gu Ji guessed that he is a nurse.This person is indeed Li Changji from the nursing home of the ancient mansion. He is dull by nature and simple and honest.

"Master, lunch is ready, eat it while it's hot."

Putting down the food box, Li Changji saluted and left in a hurry.

Qingqiu packed up the pens, ink, papers and inkstones, took out the food from the food box and put them on the stone table one by one, then handed the pair of chopsticks to Gu Ji.

"It's one meat, two vegetables and one soup."

The tone is dissatisfied and even complains.Gu Ji snatched the chopsticks, paused for a moment, stretched out his hand, and picked up the vegetables as if the camera slowed down. The Tanggu Duck was red and crispy, the color was burnt white, sweet but not greasy, and it was very refreshing.Gu Ji tore off a piece of duck leg and handed it to the boy beside him.

"Thank you, young master."

Qingqiu took the duck leg, squatted on the ground, and started to eat big mouthfuls. Gu Ji paid attention to the corners of his eyes. A pair of chopsticks picked up a big lump of vinegared cabbage and pressed it into his mouth. Swallowing hunger, three or five times, two vegetarian dishes were eaten whole.

Qingqiu ate all the duck legs, and when he stood up, there was only half a bowl of rice and half of an untouched Tanggu duck left on the stone table.Gu Ji has also returned to his previous state, and is counting the rice grains.After the master finished eating the rice, Qingqiu packed up the stone table and took the food box back.

Gu Ji slipped into the study room and quickly looked through the history collections. He is located in the Nanzhou Continent. There are hundreds of countries in this place, the largest seven of which are Shangming, Chaoya, and Mengsheng. , Most of the texts are couplets, couplets, poems, words, songs, Fu, numbers, strategies, books, volumes, histories, and collections are very similar to ancient China.At this time, Shangming's folk customs are simple and honest, and the government and the public are clean and virtuous, and it is in the period of prosperity.

Gu Ji felt a little regretful, waking up to become a hero in troubled times is his dream of crossing over, this bright world tells him how this professional Ph.D. Fishing through the ages?

Gu Ji rummaged through the study room in an hour, stepped out of the study room, and the sun was slanting three poles, and it was already the middle of the application period. The boy might have been dodging, and he had to find out "his" life experience from the boy's mouth in the past few days Come on, and this sick body is really not what he likes, before he was the number one "Lieutenant Touching Gold", he fell off the cliff and died at the age of 28.

Bored, Gu Ji went into the wing room and rummaged through the cabinets. Two vermilion boxes were stacked on top of the brown wooden cabinet, and the two boxes were full of fine brocade silk clothes.Inside the cabinet are two thick brocade quilts.There is a dark long wooden box in the upper left corner of the cabinet, and inside it is a sapphire pendant with rough inlays.A wooden hairpin and two bamboo sticks have not yet been completed.Twelve ornamented incense bags, five shriveled bamboo-leaf cranes, a red-green bamboo flute, an iron dagger, a small carving knife, and a money bag, which contained a ten tael silver note and two small silver ingots. Ingots.

Gu Ji took out the wooden box and put it next to the pillow, restored the cabinet and two boxes, and then lay on the bed for a while, his newly acquired illness was really exhausting.

Qingqiu knelt beside the stone path holding two packs of medicine, he looked annoyed, but dared to lower his head and poke the palm of his hand with his nails.

He returned the food box, thinking that the young master's medicine was not enough, and the young master refused to take the bitter medicine, and his long-term illness was difficult to recover, and the doctor only prescribed the usual prescription, so he went to the mistress's yard to get the medicine.

Carrying the medicine bag, Qingqiu hopped back and forth, but bumped into someone unexpectedly.That person was about his age, dressed luxuriously, and looked handsome, only getting angry, staring at him with sharp phoenix eyes was really scary.Qingqiu knew that she had bumped into a distinguished guest in the mansion, and was immediately frightened.Mingyue, the maid of the mistress, is arriving with the young servant.She looked at everyone present and said immediately.

"Qingqiu, go to the Yu Pavilion and kneel for two hours. The three young masters, the servants in the house don't understand the rules, and they offended the nobleman this time, so I hope you can bear a little more."

The oldest of them laughed.

"It's okay, I'm going to see Aunt Ertang."

"Three young masters, this way please."

The sun was far behind, and Qingqiu had to go back to the bamboo courtyard to cook good medicine in Shen Shizhong.This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to feed the young master the medicine on time.

"Qingqiu, why are you kneeling here if you don't boil the medicine?"

Hearing this, Qingqiu was overjoyed and was about to get up.Just as the knee was raised, it was lowered again.

"Qingqiu offended the nobleman, sister Mingyue punished Qingqiu to kneel here."

"You go back to the Bamboo Courtyard to boil the medicine, you can't afford to delay it."

"Yes, young master."

Qingqiu got up, carried two packs of medicine, and limped and jogged back to the bamboo courtyard.Gu Ji took a breath, stepped out, and was walking in the bamboo grove. He looked at the sprouting bamboo shoots and was stunned. He immediately went back to the kitchen and checked the seasoning. The class has not yet been created.

Qingqiu saw the young master in the kitchen, he quickly set up the medicine jar, lit the fire and boiled it.

"Young master, it's a bit late today."

"It's okay. You will...cough, why is it late?"

"I offended the nobles, sister Mingyue punished Qingqiu to kneel for two hours. If the young master hadn't returned home, Qingqiu would have had to kneel for half an hour."

"You don't recognize them?"

Qingqiu stuffed a few pieces of loose bamboo into the stove, when he looked up, his eyes lit up for a moment.

"It's them! Qingqiu remembers that sister Xia Liu said that the young masters of the Zongfu would come to our residence for a while. Qingqiu actually bumped into a child prodigy! Gu Yun, a child prodigy of Shangming Kingdom, the youngest son of the Zongfu, aged 14, the seventh young master Gu Yun! There is a person on each side of him, the left hand is the oldest, it should be the 17-year-old Gu Ran, the youngest son of Gu He, the suzerain of the ancient palace in the capital and the minister of Dali Temple. Ren is the head of the bodyguard with sword in front of the imperial court, his second brother Gu Mao Hanlin lecturer. The right hand should be Gu Jun, the eldest son of Gu He's younger brother Gu Shi, who has a younger sister, Gu Youlan, who is 16 years old, and his second brother, 12 years old. Sui Gufang, third younger brother, seven-year-old Guyang. Gu Yun is Gu He's eldest brother, Gu Tai's youngest son, his eldest brother is Gu Mu, general Huwei, and his second brother is Gu Hao, captain of Xuncheng School of the capital."

Gu Ji was a little messy, but what he heard was a guerrilla group of super-born guerrillas. He squeezed his chin and stared at Qingqiu for a while.This boy's name is Qingqiu, and his clever mouth is like a treasure, which made him finally know that his surname is Gu.

"Want to go and see what they look like? Qingqiu can secretly take the young master there."

Gu Ji shook his head, he is not a young master of the ancient mansion, it is better to guard the courtyard for a while, so as not to show his feet.

"The young master has always been like this, and he doesn't feel bored."

Gu Ji was startled for a while, his physical body might be the result of his death, he had to slowly change his nature, seeing that the medicine jar had been in good condition for five or six years, he opened his mouth and said.

"Be sick and get better."

Qingqiu fell silent.Guji also didn't want to stay in the pharmacy anymore, the smell of the medicine was too strong, so he had to go out to get some air.

The spring thunder and lightning flashed, and the spring rain drenched the mountains and fields.In the bamboo courtyard, the humidity brought a bit of spring chill.A sick body can only be wrapped in a winter quilt.Gu Ji sat on the head of the bed and looked out the window. The bamboo forest became more and more fresh after the rain.

The rain has stopped, the spring sun has set, and the bamboo forest is gradually darkening.After drinking the bitter medicine and taking the meal, the two of them fell asleep early in the morning.

Because he is not the young master of the Gu Mansion, Gu Ji is afraid of being discovered by others, so leaving the Gu Mansion is the way he should take, and it will cost money to travel, buy land, and settle down.But the young master of Yifu is currently worth only 12 taels of silver, which makes him very worried.

The next day, it was sunny and the sky was as blue as water.After dinner, Gu Ji looked at both sides of the fence gate. The land that should have been used as a flower garden was deserted. While the soil was still soft, he pulled up the grass for a while.

Qingqiu took the medicine and stepped out of the kitchen door cautiously. He saw his young master pulling weeds.

"A while ago, the young master refused to let him pull it out."

Gu Ji took the medicine bowl, drank it in one gulp, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for a while.

"It's really suffering, don't let it happen again."

Qingqiu has hurried to the wing room, took out the candied fruit hidden under the pillow, shot out the door, and ran back to Guji Shenze.

"You forgot about it, young master, you are the best today."

Gu Ji took the candied fruit into his mouth, and his taste buds felt better. He pointed to the grass.
