Chapter 45 Visits

  Xiao Liulang really didn’t want Gu Jiao to visit the dean’s old fox, but this proposal was unanimously approved by the family, who was an aunt.

  Old lady: "Well, it's time to visit."

  Xiao Liulang went back to the house holding the bed depressed.

  Gu Jiao looked at him in surprise: "Are you... still sleeping on my side tonight?"

  Xiao Liulang suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart: "...I went wrong."

  Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, and put her hands around her chest willfully: “I haven’t seen you go wrong after living in Westinghouse for half a year. I have gone wrong after living here for three days.”

  Xiao Liulang was choked so that his ears turned red, and said angrily: "I said it was a mistake!"

  Gu Jiao calmly: "Oh."

  Xiao Liulang: "..." 鈥斺�

  Gu Jiao did what she said, so that night, she counted the annual gifts for bribing the teacher.

  The next day, Gu Xiaoshun came over for breakfast. He heard that his sister was going to take him to visit the dean near the hot spring villa, and shouted with excitement.

  I grew up so big! Haven't been so far before!

  I grew up so big! My sister hasn't taken me out yet!

  The truth is...If Gu Jiao didn't take him, Xiao Liulang would not allow her to go so far alone as a girl.

  It’s impossible to go there to take a bullock cart. The bullock cart is too slow, maybe it’s dark and they are still swaying halfway, but the town’s carts are closed, and the carriage is not available.

  After thinking it over again, Gu Jiao showed up in Huichuntang with her younger brother.

  Faced with Gu Jiao who came here suddenly, the Second Dongjia looked inexplicable: "What advice can Miss Gu give?"

  Gu Jiao didn’t change her face and said, “I’ve thought about it. The Hot Spring Villa is indeed not far away. It’s just an hour in the carriage. Let’s set off quickly! You have the carriage!”

  I still vowed not to go to the clinic yesterday. Why did I change my mind in one night?

  The second host will look suspiciously at the baggage she is holding in her hand, and Gu Xiaoshun who is also holding a big baggage outside the door, "Why do you still bring a person and so many things? They are all for healing?"

  Gu Jiao smiled and shook her head: "These are the annual gifts for the dean. I forgot to mention it. The dean of my husband lives near the hot spring villa. After seeing the patient, I can stop by and visit his elderly home!"

  Er Dongjia almost spurted out a sip of tea. I think it’s just too tight for you to visit the dean. Healing people is the way to go. Wouldn’t it hurt to say that the horse-drawn carriage is so refreshing and refined? ! !

  The second club finally compromised.

  The second owner, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun and the old doctor all got on the carriage.

  The carriage ran very fast, and within an hour, it arrived at the house near the Hot Spring Villa. The high plaque reads Li Mansion.

  This should be the dean’s other residence.

  It is said that the dean was originally an official in the capital. The mother in the family was seriously ill, so he resigned and left Beijing and bought a separate residence here to support his mother.

  Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun out of the car and knocked on the closed courtyard door.

  Not long after, a domestic servant opened the door for them. Seeing that they were two shabby country folks, they did not show any contempt, but politely asked: "May I ask you who are..."

  Gu Jiao said: "My Xianggong and my brother are students of Tianxiang Academy and came here to visit the dean."

   "Ah." The servant was shocked.

   "What's the matter?" An old voice came from the house.

  The servant hurriedly turned around and said: "Back to the old lady, it's the master's student!"

  The old lady said in a somewhat confused voice: "Why don't you invite people in? It's freezing cold, let people come in for a cup of hot tea."

   Although Gu Jiao had never met the dean, the attitude of his family and servants made people feel very comfortable.

The servant opened the door of the courtyard and said, "The two, please come in with me. Master, he is out fishing. If it is faster, he may return in a while, or if it is slow, he may return after dark. Only then was the old lady of my family, the master's mother. "

  The servant took the two to visit Mrs. Li, but when they came to Mrs. Li’s bed, the other party was already asleep.

  Lao Mrs. Li has reached her old age, and she has no fixed number of sleeps every day like a baby.

"The two of you come to the tea room for a while, I will order tea for the two of you." The servant took Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun to the tea room again, serving tea and burning charcoal, and greeted them very thoughtfully, without a trace. Because of their humble status, they are contemptuous.

  Gu Jiao sat for a while, guessing that the dean would not come back so soon, and Mrs. Li did not wake up so soon, so she told the servant that she would go to the dean by herself.

  The fishing place is not too far away, and the servant showed her the way.

   "I want to go too." Gu Xiaoshun said.

  Gu Jiao coaxed: "If the old lady wakes up and finds that neither of us is there, she will feel that we are negligent."

   "Oh." Gu Xiaoshun stayed obediently.

  Gu Jiao got out of the house and turned into the carriage of the second house.

   "I thought it would be a long time," said the second owner.

   "The dean is not there." Gu Jiao asked, "Where is the patient you mentioned?"

   "Oh, there." The second house waved his hand, and saw the end of the trail leading directly to the green hills. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was beautiful and the courtyards were scattered. It was the famous hot spring villa of Ding'an Houfu.

  The second party didn’t introduce too much about the identity of the other party, except that it was the youngest son of a certain Hou Ye in the capital. He was born prematurely and had a weakness in his mother's womb. After so many years of searching for famous doctors, he has never been too ostentatious.

   "The little boy is about your age. Rumor has it that he will not live to be fifteen years old." The second owner said regretfully.

   "Isn't it only one year left?" Gu Jiao is fourteen this year.

   "Isn't it? However, it may not last June."

   "Is he really so sick?"

  The second owner sighed and nodded: "Yes, poor Madam Hou, there is only such a son under her knees."

  Although there is a dragon and phoenix sister on the little son, this can't make up for the pain of losing his son.

  The second owner didn't explain to Gu Jiao about the information that had nothing to do with the condition.

  While talking, the carriage came to the entrance of the hot spring villa.

  Here is a huge cornice archway. The hot spring villa is written in large gilt letters, and a line of cursive script-Ding'an Houfu is erected on the far right side of this character.

  Several people got out of the carriage.

  Gu Jiao stood under the magnificent archway, as small as a rabbit.

The style of   Hou Mansion is vividly displayed, and this is only a villa under its name.

  The second owner passed by the villa many times, but it was the first time he really came here. To be honest, he was also shocked by the big archway in front of him. Of course, what he didn't know was that the reason why Gu Jiao stared at the torii in a daze was not because she was shocked, but was purely wondering if the gold on the torii was real.
