Chapter 117: Zhien

Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen
"Master..." Gu Shiba Niang blurted out.
Covering his mouth, Liu Gong, who suppressed a huge cough, glared at her.
"Old man." Gu Shiba Niang changed her name, and walked quickly in front of him, "Just in time you are back, let Mr. Peng get your pulse..."
Liu Gong's cough passed, and he waved to Gu Shiba Niang.
"Don't be funny, I still use him to get the pulse..." he said, "Have you finished your homework? I worry about it all day long."
"Mr. Peng is a genius doctor..." Gu Shiba Niang ignored his change of subject and continued.
"It's Hua Tuo..." Liu Gong said smoothly. He said half-heartedly. Seeing Gu Shiba Niang apparently persevering, he smiled, "I said that girl, I know my own illness... this way. Come on, make me a phlegm pill..."
"Just eat this?" Gu Shiba Niang asked the fox because he couldn't understand the medical theory.
"Success." Liu Gong nodded, urging her to go.
Gu Shiba-niang said, and then turned around.
"By the way, you won't go out on the first day of July." She turned and asked again.
"What are you doing?" Liu Gong asked, touching his chest with one hand.
"There is a happy event. I have a banquet in the White Crane Tower. I would like to invite you to enjoy your face." Gu Shiba Niang smiled.
"What's the happy event? Your brother is in the ranks?" Liu Gong said curiously, and shook his head again, "No, I haven't taken the exam yet... Otherwise, you girl has decided someone else?"
Gu Shiba Niang was silent, as long as he would go.
"Okay, eat for nothing, why don't I go..." Liu Gong said hehe.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and turned away, walking briskly.
This girl seldom laughs, even a smile is a fake smile. Liu Gong rubbed her messy hair and watched thoughtfully as the girl picked the medicinal materials into the processing room. Although he didn't get along for a long time, he knew he was worthy of this girl. There is not much time for a real smile.
This girl... Liu Gong sighed, turned and entered the room.
At the same time, all medicine stores in Jiankang received invitations signed by Gu Shiba Niang. Regardless of the scale, many people were surprised and terrified, especially the medicine that participated in the Baohetang incident. Pharmacist.
After that incident, Baohetang withdrew from the Jiankang medicine industry, and business in other places suffered greatly. Moreover, a famous pharmacist named Master Dong disappeared, but everyone knew it well. Everything has nothing to do with this lady Gu.
Nothing was written on the post. Everyone inquired about each other, and couldn't figure out a clue. They had to wait anxiously for the arrival of the first day of July.
After a night of rain, everything was quiet. Cao brought Tang Zhu to the door of Gu Shiba Niang. He saw the light in the room as always, and a thin figure reading quietly at the desk was reflected on the window lattice.
"Eighteen mothers..." Cao pushed the door and came in.
"Mother, why haven't you slept yet?" Gu Shiba Niang hurriedly got up and smiled, reaching out to take the soup bowl.
Cao looked at his daughter's thin face and the rough hand stretched out, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Eighteen mother, are you ready?" She sighed.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and drank the soup and tea table.
My daughter’s every move, every smile, is a world away from the past, not like the girls of the same year or before, this body is really a twenty-something soul...
The soul that had lived alone for ten years without his mother and brother, and after life and death, this soul was already strong and wise.
It is a joy to see his child become comforting, but when he thinks of how this change came about, Cao feels like a knife.
If the husband is still there, if the family is not withered, the daughter would not make this choice, right?
Cao's tears fell off.
"Mother, what's so sad about this?" Gu Shiba Niang put down the soup bowl and smiled.
"I'm happy..." Cao wiped away his tears, concealed his sadness, and stroked his daughter's black hair that spread out like water. Looking under the light, her daughter had bright eyes and teeth. It was not glamorous, but also beautiful. Keren...
"Mother, I think, having a gentry status, finding a good husband's family to get a good marriage is not necessarily the full definition of happiness." Gu Shiba Niang knew everything about the Cao family, she smiled, "What's more, what is it? Good marriage? Is just marrying a rich and powerful family is a good marriage?"
He laughed at himself and said, "In this case, I can be considered a happy person..."
The Cao cried and stroked her hand pityingly. The status of the noble family did not bring her any benefit, and only the unforgettable sadness and hatred left behind.
"Mother," Gu Shiba-niang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think it's shameful to have a daughter like me..."
She didn't finish her words, but Cao's mouth was covered.
"Mother must have worked hard for several lifetimes to get the blessing. There is a daughter like you," Cao said softly.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, and the worries hidden in her heart disappeared.
"This is a letter from your brother..." Cao took out a thin piece of paper.
"I'm writing again?" Gu Shiba-niang was shocked, and only received the letter a few days ago. Is this coming again, what's the matter?
"Eighteen mother.. I let people tell your brother..." Cao said softly, "This is your happy event, and it is also our family's happy event. If you miss it, your brother will definitely regret..."
Gu Shiba Niang was slightly startled, because she was afraid of affecting Gu Hai's exam preparation, she didn't tell him about it, so she was subconsciously afraid that he would object.
Although the mother said this, Gu Shiba-niang understood that she must have written to persuade her because she was afraid of her son's opposition.
What would your brother say? Gu Shiba Niang suddenly felt heavy holding the thin piece of paper, her behavior was indeed a bit out of the ordinary... but she had to do it.
She took a deep breath and opened the thin paper. This is not a letter in the strict sense, but more like a draft of a practice poem.
On a piece of thin paper, only two lines of words were written.
My heart is grateful for blood, a drop of blood stains the world.
Gu Shiba-niang only felt her eyes hot and she shed a tear.
On the first day of July, the weather was clear and clear. When Gu Shiba Niang helped Liu Gong get out of the car, Liu Gong looked uncomfortable.
"I have to change my clothes for a meal," he muttered, wrinkling his face, wearing a new green silk summer gown, pulling twice from time to time.
"My sacks..." He looked back hurriedly.
"Here..." Peng Yizhen smiled and handed the sack respectfully.
Liu Gong stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Only then did he feel a little relieved. He hummed and strode inward.
The hall was already full of people, and gift boxes were piled up like a mountain in the gate of Baihe Tower. Seeing them come in, everyone stood up and said hello.
"You are ashamed." Liu Gong obviously didn't expect such a big battle. He darkened his face and raised his hand to Gu Shiba Niang. "How many times have you said that our pharmacists just make medicine and don't deal with people." "
Speaking of hate that iron can't make steel, because of the number of people, he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "You girl, you are so stupid, you may be deceived when you are cheated to help people..."
Listening to his unceremonious accusation, Gu Shiba Niang just laughed.
"Master, you are so kind to me..." she suddenly interrupted the chattering Liu Gong and said dullly.
There was a nasal sound in the voice, which seemed to curl from the bottom of my heart.
Liu Gong couldn't help being startled, and a trace of warmth suddenly rose from his withered heart.
Although this girl is not exceptionally smart, she has a sharp eye for perceiving people and things, and she can always shed thread and cocoon in the words of others, hitting the nail on the head.
Any more words...it seems unnecessary to say, Liu Gong turned his head and sighed.
"Gu Niangzi, Gu Niangzi..." Xin Chaoling, who was sitting at the front left, came over to watch Gu Shiba Niang and hurriedly raised his hand to say hello.
Gu Shiba Niang saw it, smiled at him, and then set his eyes on Xin Chaoyang, who was sitting and drinking tea, and nodded.
Xin Chaoyang put down the tea cup and made a congratulatory gesture at her with both hands.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and cast a smart compliment from you.
Xin Chaoyang arched his hands again, making a humble smile.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Xin Chaoling asked in a puzzled manner. While learning Xin Chaoyang's gestures, Gu Shiba Niang passed by, but the smile on her face did not dissipate, "Well, how can you make Gu Niangzi smile like this? Happy?"
Make up your mind and keep it in mind to please God of Wealth.
Xin Chaoyang smiled without answering, "Sit down, don't make noise, you'll know in a moment."
Seeing Gu Shiba Niang leading herself to a sole position in the middle, Liu Gong snorted.
"Don't want me to sit there." He flicked his sleeve and sat down on the side.
Chairman Huang and others were already sitting on this table. Seeing him sitting down, three older people immediately stepped aside. Gu Shiba Niang did not force him to sit down.
Gu Shiba Niang glanced around the hall and saw that there were people sitting there. In fact, she didn't know how many invitations she had sent, nor did she know whether she came together or not, but this scene should be enough.
"Thank you for your appointment." She looked around and said in a loud voice, giving a slight salute.
There was a chaotic sound of salute in the hall.
"To invite everyone here today is to witness a major event." After the noise subsided, Gu Shiba Niang continued.
The people in the hall whispered, wondering what's going on.
Gu Niangzi's brother understands Yuan, this has been congratulated? Is it possible that this little lady is getting married?
That's a big deal, but it doesn't need to be said?
Seeing this scene, Liu Gonghu's heart jumped. A thought that had been thought of but had been thrown away came out, and for a while, sweat appeared on his palms.
impossible….
"Why haven't the food served yet?" He murmured in a low voice with his chopsticks, as if this way could resolve the inexplicable emotions.
"Come on." Gu Shiba Niang stretched out her hand and lifted it.
But no food came up, but a group of small servants filed up holding the incense burner and placed them in front of the seats in the hall.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and the people sitting near saw the words on the two tablets with a surprised look.
Two tablets, one Shennong and one Qibo, this is the ancestor of their medicine world.
People who couldn't see clearly stood up and asked the people in the front row. It quickly spread, and there was a buzzing sound in the hall.
By this time everyone had basically guessed it.
"Eighteen Niangs, I am thankful to Liu Gong for guidance, but I have dull aptitude and have never dared to be called a teacher. Today, in front of colleagues in the Jiankang pharmaceutical industry, the Eighteen Niangs are here as an apprentice to pay a respectful apprenticeship..." Gu Shiba The mother said, and then bowed to Gong Liu, "I also hope that the master will not dislike the disciple's dullness, and the prospective disciple will get started."
Although she guessed it, everyone was shocked when she heard it out.
Gu Shiba Niang is not Liu Gong’s apprentice. Everyone already knows it. The well-known version is that the two of them accidentally met. Gu Shiba Niang bought medicine because of family poverty and got Liu Gong guidance. That's it. Gu family was originally an official. Although Gu Shiba Niang made her living because of poverty, she is still a lady of the official family. What's more, now her brother Xie Yuan in high school has already entered the official career. At this time, Gu Shiba Niang does not sell medicine. Also worry-free livelihood.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even return to the inner house boudoir, but had to pay her respects.
If one or two points are said to be fine, but if you worship the ancestor and pay the respect of the teacher, it means leaving the official status and stepping into the ranks of craftsmen. Since you are a craftsman, you must not discard the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestor in your life. It has nothing to do with how much money is made. For a woman, it means that she must always practice craftsmanship, lead her apprentice to teach her profession, and be responsible for inheritance.
In today's ethos, only the poor house allows women to show their faces. I am afraid that no powerful and powerful will allow their own daughters or women to act like this.
Shi, farmers, commerce and industry, under strict hierarchy, what does this mean?
The hall was quiet, all eyes were on Gu Shiba Niang, shocked and unbelievable.
Liu Gong looked at Gu Shiba Niang who bowed and gave salutes, his expression changed, his hand clenched his chopsticks unconsciously.
"Eighteen mother, do you know what you are talking about and doing?" It seemed that after a long time, he asked in a deep voice.
"I know it naturally." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "I have been prepared for a long time."
Liu Gong looked at her and sighed.
"Girl, I know what you want, and I understand it." He said, raising his hand to signal Gu Shiba Niang to get up.
Gu Shiba Niang didn't accept the gift according to her words, instead she knelt down.
"No, my mind is much more than you know, so that if you don't repay, you can't make a living." She raised her head and said solemnly.
Without Gong Liu, she would not have come to where she is today. At the initial shocking moment, if there weren't such opportunities, I'm afraid they would have returned to their old lives.
Without Gong Liu, their family was afraid that the dust would return to the dust. With such a great kindness, how could she enjoy it calmly when she knew how important the status of mentor and apprentice was to the instructor?
At the beginning, he said that he had gotten into trouble because of his own tricks, so he did his best to give pointers and showed himself when he was questioned. Presumably he really regarded her as an apprentice and taught each other, but because of scruples about her origin, Can't bear to leave her as a craftsman without mentioning it.
She Gu Shiba Niang's revenge must be avenged, and the dripping grace must be paid, not to mention such a monstrous grace.
"You may be an unintentional effort to raise your hand, but for Shiba Niang, there are no other gods and Buddhas to help rebirth, knowing the kindness and not repaying, and acting in vain." Gu Shiba Niang looked at him and said in a deep voice.
"Gu Shiba Niang has no long-lasting things, she has a dull talent, and she is not to ask her master to teach her career, but to fulfill her responsibilities as a disciple... I Gu Shiba Niang...this world.... Zeng Enqiang has neither eyes nor beads... . Fortunately, God bless this adventure. If you can’t be pleased with enmity, God’s law will not tolerate it.

She bowed her head down, the last few words were vague, and Liu Gong didn't listen to it.
What life? Adventure? Do you mean meeting yourself?
Thinking of the encounter with the little girl, Liu Gong's mouth couldn't help but smile. It was really strange.
"You...really no other master?" He couldn't help asking.
The teacher must not enter into two ways. If you have already worshipped a teacher, you must never worship others without the consent of the master.
It seems that this question Liu Gong has always existed, Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but smile, raised her head and nodded.
"Did you really think about it? Eighteen mothers," Liu Gong sighed as she looked at her, "coming in my door, it doesn't seem to be so beautiful. I am already eighty-eight years old this year. Eighteen mothers, you The road ahead is still long."
Maybe you can make a lot of money, maybe you can win a lot of admiration, but below the strict hierarchy, the woman's body, the future is full of gullies.
"Master, is Shiba Niang the kind of person who covets the name of beauty?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled.
It is true that the identity of Gong Liu's disciple is both an opportunity and a challenge. Being at the top can see the scenery that everyone can't see, but at the same time, it will also welcome the wind and frost that everyone can't meet.
But these are not in her consideration. She will do this only because it is worth and must be done.
What about craftsmen? Now even if she asks her eighteen mother to be a beggar, she believes that she can live very...well, my life is in my hands, as long as she has this belief, no matter what circumstances she faces, she can stand tall.
"I also ask Master not to dislike the dullness of the disciple." She kowtowed again and said loudly.
Liu Gong looked at her, his wrinkled old face couldn't tell whether there was joy or sorrow.
"Okay." He stood up, walked towards the front seat, shook his robe, and sat down.
This is when the atmosphere in the lobby is boiling.
Gu Shiba Niang got up and walked over, solemnly knelt down.
"Teacher is great. Today, there is Jiankang Gu's name Xiang, who worshipped Liu Bucai in Jinzhou, and taught medicine. Since then, although the master and apprentice is the same father and daughter, he should be respectful to the teacher. Personal training, No teeth are unforgettable. The love comes from the heart, and there is no regret. There is nothing to say, and I would like to use this word to show solemnity."
The one who read the apprentice post was the doctor of medicine Gu Shiba Niang invited from the Jiankang government office. The white-haired old man was excited, and the hand holding the apprentice post was shaking.
This is a major event in the pharmaceutical industry, and it is also a miracle that has never happened before. Since ancient times, people have gone to high places. Of course, many students of scholars have abandoned their studies, or engaged in business or medicine, but most of them are men. No woman acts like this.
The old man was very excited to live to witness such a big event.
After the reading was finished, Gu Shiba-niang prostrated three times, signed and pressed her fingerprint on the greeting note, the young man handed tea, Gu Shiba-niang held it, and Liu Gong took it.
Looking at the crowd of viewers with different expressions, and then at the solemn Gu Shiba Niang in front of him, Liu Gong only felt that his dry eyes suddenly became hot.
How could he not want to accept an apprentice, the person with a special skill does not want his skills to be passed on?
He has been looking for an apprentice who can pass on his skills all the time in this life, and used all kinds of testing and inspection methods. In the end, it was all in vain and almost died...
From then on, he was disheartened and concealed his surname. He thought that the craftsmanship of the Liu family would have ceased until his generation. This little girl surprised him when she first saw him, and puzzled him when she saw him. Very disappointed, but gratified when disappointed.
Surrounded by fame, she was barren and lacking money, but she was not tempted, afraid of threats, calmly acting, she was clever and cunning, but frank and open, she was kind and gentle, but cold and hateful.
Originally, he gave the book to fulfill his promise, but after standing outside the gate of Baohe Hall and seeing the play, he was tempted, and he was able to pass on the skills to this person, even if he could not have the name of a master and apprentice. ?
He really didn't expect that this little girl would really apprentice, so solemnly apprentice, and inform the world's apprentice.
He raised his hand and drank the tea, blocking the tears that were about to drip.
Gu Shiba Niang knocked her head three times.
"Worship Master Zu, offer incense." The medical doctor sang loudly.
With Liu Gong leading Gu Shiba Niang to offer incense in front of the tablet of Patriarch Shennong Qibo, the apprenticeship ceremony ended.
"Eighteen Niangs," Liu Gong stretched out his hand to stop everyone from coming, and looked at Gu Eighteen Niangs, "Get the book."
Gu Shiba Niang was taken aback, and he realized that what he said was that Liu Gong had concocted the seventeen methods. She didn't dare to neglect at the moment, so she immediately asked the little servant Pegasus to fetch it.
Seeing Xiao Si holding a book with an unremarkable appearance, and other people were OK, President Huang's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Sure enough, he couldn't help sighing for this book. Master Dong guessed the beginning correctly, but didn't guess the ending. Unexpectedly, the conditions they designed would have no effect on this little girl.
However, it was fortunate that it didn't work. Otherwise, he would be as miserable as Baohetang now.
After thinking about it, Gong Liu had already accepted the book.
"Eighteen mother, are you familiar with this book?" he asked.
Backside down, Gu Shiba Niang nodded.
"Take a brazier," he said.
Everyone didn't know his intentions, it was just a special apprenticeship ceremony of his Liu family, but after seeing the brazier fetched, Liu Gong raised his hand and threw the book in and was immediately engulfed by flames.
There was an exclamation in the hall and more people rushed over. This is a peerless book. This is an unspoken secret.
"After you become a teacher, write it out by yourself. After you accept disciples in the future, you will burn it again. Liu Gong's method, the book and the book, do you understand?" Liu Gong looked at Gu Shiba-niang and said in a deep voice. Said.
This is how Liu Gong's method was passed down from generation to generation. Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but bite her lower lip. From the moment of apprenticeship, Liu Gong's skill was all in one person, pressure and motivation.
"The disciple understands." Gu Shiba Niang kowtoed.
At this point, there was a trace of relief on Gong Liu's face, and the whole person seemed a little tired. He leaned on the chair and raised his hand to signal, "Get up."
The apprenticeship ceremony officially ended, there was a roar of joy in the hall, and everyone was smiling.
"Young Master", a shopkeeper of the Da Yousheng Xin's family was excitedly gloomy, and pulled Xin Chaoyang's sleeves, "Master, let's... let's... one year..."
One year, Liu Gongzhi’s Pharmaceutical, and the clearly identified Liu Gong Pharmaceutical for one year.
Xin Chaoyang's sight has been on the field, and with his restraint, it is difficult to hide a shock on his face at this time.
This is God blessing me to have a good life This is God helping me believe in Chaoyang
"Why did Gu Shiba Niang become a craftsman as a teacher?"
The news soon spread to the Gu family. Gu Luoer, who was making wedding gowns among a crowd of girls, widened her eyes in shock, raising the needle in her hand without falling for a long time.
"Crazy..." Gu Xi'er covered her mouth in astonishment.
To say that she used to work as a craftsman by a teacher, they would not be so surprised. After all, she was in a poor family and could not make a living, but now it can be different. Gu Haizhong understands Yuan, and they have a medicine shop and a spice shop, so they can eat and drink for a boundless future. , What is the picture of doing so at this time?
Can't explain except crazy
This is really a crazy woman, everyone looked at each other, seeing the fear in their eyes.
And Mrs. Shen San, who was about to go out to meet a few ladies, sat back in the chair in shock.
"This little is really... bitch" she scolded heavily.
It takes a lot of courage to be a craftsman from a family girl, or how stupid it is
It seems that this woman does not intend to marry their family~EbookFREE.me~ and does not intend to find a good family that is right.
Is it just to escape the marriage contract with their Shen family?
"This Gu family girl, what kind of person is she crazy?" Madam Shen San muttered to herself.
"Madam, shall we go out yet?" the woman attending to the side asked carefully.
She was going to talk to a few ladies about this girl, and proposed to boycott Cao's two children. Unexpectedly, the news of Gu Shiba Niang came.
"Forget it, no need to go." She waved her hand and leaned back in the chair with a few minutes.
