Chapter 70(1/2)
070. People are more important to know themselves
Gu Xiaoxiao naturally noticed the eyes of those people falling on Zhou Zeyun. She had superb ears and also heard their private whispers, just asking who Zhou Zeyun was, why have you never seen him before!
Gu Xiaoxiao curled her lips quietly, feeling a little sour in her heart.
Look! She said before that Zhou Zeyun is the fascinating goblin! Humph!
Gu Xiaoxiao was depressed and still felt very uncomfortable until she picked Zhou Zeyun up home.
On the way back, in the carriage, she looked at Zhou Zeyun, trying to scratch the face of this "fairy", so that no one would stare at him anymore, but she couldn't bear to leave it alone!
Zhou Zeyun felt that Gu Xiaoxiao's not too friendly eyes trembled.
What's going on with a little panic?!
He didn't know what happened outside the exam room, and naturally he didn't understand why Gu Xiaoxiao looked bad. But since his wife had a bad face, she must have done something bad, so she had to coax her with a good attitude!
So Zhou Zeyun smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"
This smile made Gu Xiaoxiao shook her mind for a moment, then she became angry again, frowned and said, "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"
After saying that, he turned around and refused to look at him.
I murmured silently in my heart: Any smile is so beautiful, I am such a fairy!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao thought about the eyes of the women outside the exam room falling on Zhou Zeyun, shy but exposed, and she felt even more awkward.
Are those women one by one, not ashamed?!
But she forgot that she stayed because Zhou Zeyun was pretty!
She was staring at Zhou Zeyun's face at that time!
Zhou Zeyun didn't know the cause of Gu Xiaoxiao's emotions, so he had to listen to her put away the smile on her lips, and was a little aggrieved and silent.
The results of the college entrance examination came out five days later. Not surprisingly, Zhou Zeyun won the case again, so the children's examination subjects were completed. He became one of the few scholars in the history of the imperial examinations to be the leader of the case in the three exams!
On the day when the results were released, Gu Xiaoxiao did not let Zhou Zeyun get off the carriage, but sent Qian Bin to see the list. He drove home when he learned that it was the head of the case. So the masses didn't know what the head of the court's test looked like, and some women didn't know that the young master they saw that day was the head of the court's test!
Zhou Zeyun's name began to become famous in the city. Although scholars were nothing, the road to imperial examinations was still long, but there were still a few candidates who were the first of all three exams, which was enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of some gossipers.
Later, when I found out, I heard that I already had a family, most of the enthusiasm of people was extinguished.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt much more comfortable. She didn't like her little husband to be the topic of conversation for others after dinner!
Now that their family is in the city, Liang Duo has also served as the housekeeper of the family as he said at the beginning. Before Gu Xiaoxiao came over, he had already bought some people from Yashang. As there were many servants in the family, he naturally needed to manage them. Liang Duo has always been here, so he is naturally very skilled in managing these things and is more familiar with the servants.
The servants asked him to train him in a very regular manner, but Gu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied anyway.
Zhong Yue still manages the kitchen food, and also purchases the daily needs of the buyer. Several servants also work with her and are under her jurisdiction.
Qian Bin followed Gu Xiaoxiao to help with some affairs. When Gu Xiaoxiao was about to go out, he also played the role of groom.
There is no need to worry about this time at home, and An Hetang’s affairs have come to an end. Gu Xiaoxiao is happy and plays and eats every day, and then cultivates feelings with her husband. She can’t let other women get hooked up in the future!
She has become accustomed to the life of her family like this, and she is becoming increasingly reluctant to let go of Zhou Zeyun, nor is she willing to leave the four kids. She doesn't know why she is like this, but just wants to keep living like this!
Even she herself hadn't realized that her mentality was no longer the way she could have watched coldly, and she looked at the way Wang Juanzi seduced Zhou Zeyun!
Zhou Zeyun became a scholar, and her family reduced taxes, which was very beneficial to Gu Xiaoxiao's business journey, and she was very happy.
Zhou Zeyun will prepare for the provincial examination with Teacher Xu next.
The provincial examination is also taken in the prefecture city, once every three years, and this year is just the turn. The exam is in August, and Zhou Zeyun has less than five months to study, which is enough for him.
The children also studied and practiced boxing as usual. Since Dabao had made a swing before, he felt very accomplished on it. So after coming to Zhoucheng, he also built a swing in the yard. With previous experience, this time the construction was stronger and more spacious!
Seeing that Dabao was still very interested in this woodworking work, Gu Xiaoxiao saw that there was a large open space in the yard, which was so empty that it was a waste, so she drew a drawing of a slide, which was very suitable for older children nowadays.
Qian Bin also asked several carpenters to buy some materials, and after communicating some details of the drawings, he asked them to build them with Dabao. This is also a hands-on practical course. There is a skill that will at least not starve to death in the future!
Otherwise, Dabao would have nothing to be interested in except studying!
The carpenter was originally unwilling to take care of a child, but he would still be responsible if he was injured and encountered them.
Dabao did not complain about hardship or fatigue, and used his smart little head to conquer those carpenters with his strength.
The masters all like Dabao very much and think he has great talent in this area. If the master hadn’t short of money and wouldn’t let his children go out to work, they all wanted to adopt Dabao as an apprentice!
This also made Dabao deeply understand what Gu Xiaoxiao once said: when you go out, you must have the ability to win people's hearts. It is not to use your superior identity to make others surrender, but to use your own strength to impress others!
During these days, Dabao and Mu Yan got along more harmoniously. He didn't say it, but he was actually very happy!
The slide took several days to build, and the children loved it very much. They had never played such a novelty.
Because Sibao is still a little young, Gu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would be easily injured when playing on the slide, so she drew a drawing of a small Trojan horse and asked Dabao to do it for him.
This is relatively simple. It doesn't require a carpenter to explain it to Dabao. He can do it alone, which can be regarded as a way to pass the time after class. Mu Yan is also by his side and occasionally helps with it.
Dabao was also very smart and did it quickly. Sibao happily hugged Dabao's neck and kissed it!
This surprised Dabao. The four brothers have been used to suffering since childhood. Although they depend on each other for life, they have never acted so intimately.
His eyes fell on Gu Xiaoxiao who was basking in the sun on the recliner in the yard. She gave them a beautiful and happy home!
Needless to say, the second treasure is obsessed with practicing boxing. Now that he has learned from Liang Duo, his martial arts has gone to the next level and is about to catch up with Liang Yun.
So when he was fine, he would pull Liang Yun to compete, and most of them would still lose, so he practiced harder and continued to compete with Liang Yun!
But because he likes to eat, his body is fleshy and his body is not fast enough, Liang Duo asked him to run, stance every day, and practice more on the plate.
After all, he is still young now and can't let him not eat, as it will hurt his body!
Although Sanbao is still taciturn, he still gets along well with Liang Fei. Liang Fei quickly gained his trust.
Since Teacher Xu said that he is very smart and suitable for business, Gu Xiaoxiao also uses arithmetic to train his thinking ability in his spare time and teaches him some psychology, which will be helpful for him to see and recognize people when he goes out. These are things that are not available in this world.
Through the observation that he took him to bargain for the past, he was very suitable to learn these things!
The Three Treasures also learned very quickly. Anyway, my mother said that learning these would be good for him, so he learned them! He believed in my mother!
Sometimes Gu Xiaoxiao asks his family what they are thinking, and each of him can basically say a general idea.
But that day, he stared at Gu Xiaoxiao, his voice was tender, but his eyes were calm. He said, "Mom, I can't see through you!"
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled softly and said, "How old are you? How many people have you seen? How could you just not see through me? When you have seen the outside world, come back to see me, okay?"
Sanbao nodded, "Okay."
But after he saw most of the people in the world, he still didn't see through Gu Xiaoxiao.
He thought, maybe it was because his ability was taught by Gu Xiaoxiao!
But this is all a story later.
Sibao also learned a lot of medical knowledge. Sometimes Gu Xiaoxiao would take him to Anhetang and accompany the doctor to see a doctor. After each patient left, the doctor would ask him a question. Although he had not taken his pulse, he could tell the difference just by looking at his face!
The doctor who was on the clinic was also surprised that such a child was almost as good as his medical skills!
He loved Xiao Sibao very much. Originally, Sibao also had a sweet-mouthed temperament, and so was Muyu. Sometimes two children praised the doctor on the left and right, and they were very embarrassed to make him beat him!
What Gu Xiaoxiao does every day is to take care of her old age, take a walk and tease her beautiful husband, and she feels very interesting!
Lu Ning looked at his master's ears that were always amused, but he still smiled foolishly. He really didn't even look at him!
Although Gu Xiaoxiao is not gossipy, she has also heard that there have been many things in the Xiao family recently.
Xiao Mu made major rectifications within the Xiao family and no longer spoke as easy as before. Any Xiao family who danced in front of him was stripped of power by him.
The Xiao family has a current situation, which can be said to be supported by him. The rest of the Xiao family live with dividends.
So he had absolute right to speak, but he did not act before, and now he no longer cared about relatives. It would be better to strip out the rights of those old people than to let them go out with power and harm others. No matter what, they cannot let them lose the Xiao family's property.
Xiao Mu's great reform made most of the Xiao family dare not be too arrogant to him as before. A few relatives who rely on their seniority and disobey management also made him investigate it secretly. Unexpectedly, those people did a lot of bad things in private, embezzled public funds, went to prostitutes and gambling. Whether from the legal or moral perspective, any item can be picked out, which can be put into prison for them!
Of course, Xiao Mu did the same. He handed the complaint to the yamen and handed over the collected evidence at the same time.
He woke up through what happened to Xiao Qi last time, and now he is afraid that a rat shit will ruin a pot of soup.
Those relatives said they were relatives, but they were not close to him or were not directly related, but they all wanted to catch some oily fishy things on his money tree. They were really shameless!
It was not until someone was imprisoned that the Xiao family completely calmed down and no longer fooled Xiao Mu like a fool!
Speaking of Xiao Qi, since he returned home, his mother hurriedly arrived with the antidote, but it was too late. He was destined to endure those pains for the rest of his life, which was also his repentance to those victims!
Originally, he was clamoring to ask his parents to show Gu Xiaoxiao, but he was stopped by Xiao Mu. After a while, his father was imprisoned and he could not show off at all.
After a while, Xiao Qi could not bear the pain of the poisonous attack and committed suicide. After such a big change, his mother couldn't afford to get sick, and their room fell from then on.
The other Xiao family members did not expect Xiao Mu to be so cruel. They were so desperate that they could only end up with their families, but no one dared to talk about things with family affection. They had to honestly live with the remaining dividends and old man.
Gu Xiaoxiao was relieved to continue working with him, and she was no longer angry at all, and gradually eased her relationship with him.
Xiao Mu's heart was also warm, but fortunately he was not wrong, not to the point where he could not save it!
How can those borers in the Xiao family compare to Gu Xiaoxiao? Just in terms of career cooperation, Gu Xiaoxiao is much more valuable than those people!
How did I be so confused at the beginning?
Life was peaceful and warm. One day, Gu Xiaoxiao took Sibao to Anhetang for a walk.
A man rushed in in a hurry, wearing the clothes of a wealthy servant.
As soon as he entered the door, the man shouted loudly: "How many doctors are there in your clinic? All of them follow me! Hurry up!" His voice was a little anxious.
To be continued...
