Chapter 125: sympathy

The fifteenth of each month is the fixed day when the Cao family goes to Xinglong Temple to offer incense, and it is also the only day when Gu Shiba-niang enters this temple.
"Eighteen mother, go to the guest room to rest for a while." Cao said when he came out of the main hall.
Cao’s rule is that every time he must visit all the temples before and after, Gu Shiba-niang will not accompany each other because the mother and daughter have a clear heart.
For the Cao family, every time his daughter can follow, she is already very satisfied.
"I went to the Zhuxuan Tower to sit down, and I made an appointment with the believer, and my mother will go by myself." Gu Shiba Niang replied.
Cao nodded, Zhu told her not to catch the wind and take the servant woman.
When Gu Shiba Niang came to the Zhuxuan Tower, Xin Chaoling, who was wearing only a cotton robe, greeted him.
"How come the bridegroom official came here?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled, giving a shallow salute.
Xin Chaoyang just married a month ago and married the third young lady from Yihexing Medicine Peng Family in Hengzhou.
"Working more is good." Xin Chaoling frowned.
Gu Shiba-niang smiled. I heard that the third young lady from Hengzhou is quite male, but not only in temperament, but also in appearance, so she dragged herself into an old girl to marry.
To say that Xin Chaoling also looks good, and has always claimed to be a master of flower bushes, he never sees the flowers and grasses. In the end, the well-known Young Master Ling marries this wife. It is indeed a big joke. I feel wronged.
Gu Shiba Niang listened to the people from the medicine store and laughed behind her back and said that this was because Da Yousheng had taken a fancy to Yihexing’s batch of Shanghao wild ginseng, but Yihexing medicine store was small but had a big temper, so she refused to sell it. Da Yousheng somehow knew that the boss of Yihexing was heartbroken, it was the third young lady who couldn't get married, and that's why he had this marriage.
That said, Xin Chaoling was worth the price of a batch of wild ginseng, and Gu Shiba-niang couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy.
"Anyway, I'll use this at home..." Xin Chaoling grinned, apparently knowing that jokes about him selling his body are spreading all over the city now, and I can understand Gu Shiba Niang's eyes no matter how slow.
Gu Shiba Niang was silent, if anyone could see it openly.
"It's better to be useful than useless." She smiled.
Xin Chao Ling smiled, "It's cold outside, Gu Niangzi went in and talked, my brother and uncle both made good tea."
She said she stepped aside, but she didn't mean to go in.
He is not qualified to go in. Others are sitting in the warm room, but he is standing in the cold wind. He is also a young master. In fact, he has no status at all. Gu Shiba Niang glanced at him sympathetically, "Then go ahead."
"Not busy, not busy." Xin Chaoling rubbed his hands and smiled, "Jian is burning incense inside, and it is probably burned out. I will take her back."
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, and then led the little girl up the steps.
Seeing that the little girl in the silver-white plain satin cloak disappeared before her eyes, Xin Chaoling stood there not knowing what she was in a daze.
The young man on the side couldn't help but stomped gently, and reminded in a low voice: "Master, let's go quickly."
"Where to go?" Xin Chaoling looked back at the young man.
The little servant collapsed his mouth, "You didn't mean to pick up the young grandma, the incense should be burned out, if you don't go, the young grandma will get on the carriage..."
Before he finished speaking, Xin Chaoling kicked him.
"Go to you, I'll be full to find disgusting" Xin Chaoling shouted with a stare, and took a couple of sips, "Go, get the car, and take your aunt to the Laojin shop to get some hedging."
The little boy hurriedly ran away, clutching his ass, only complaining, isn't this all what you said, why blame it on my head, my face became too fast.
Xin Chaoling snorted, and slowly followed far behind with a swaying song.
In the Zhuxuan building, Gu Shiba Niang sat down with Xin Chaoyang and the three elders in the family. Xinjia congratulated Gu Hai High School tribute, and Gu Shiba Niang congratulated Xinjia with double happiness.
Xinjia Dayou was born in this short period of several months, almost occupying more than half of the Jiankang pharmaceutical industry, this speed is unprecedented.
The elders of the letter family smiled at each other and shook their hands at Gu Shiba Niang, "This is all relying on Gu Niangzi for care."
Gu Shiba Niang almost laughed, and hurriedly stood up to salute.
This group of people just pretends that she is a three-year-old child, and they believe it with a few praises. Is it possible that a huge medicine store can be invincible with only a pharmacist?
But it is undeniable that he and his master Liu Gong did add a lot of brilliance to them, and the one thing that Liu Gongzhi’s apprentices exclusively provided for medicine was enough to quickly expand the name of Dayou Sheng.
Everyone likes to hear compliments, and the uncles of the letter family do so, which conforms to common sense and makes people feel happy.
"These two joys are that my imperfect thing, Chao Ling, finally got married. Thank you for the gift from Gu Niangzi. You are really polite." An old man twisted his beard and said with exclamation and joy on his face.
"I don't know when Lady Gu's double happiness will come?" Another old man answered and laughed.
Someone coughed. It was too abrupt to say that someone had a relationship in front of a girl.
Gu Shiba Niang didn't care, she smiled and said, "All my own mothers are in charge."
The words were revealed, the tea was drunk three times, and the gossip talked. Everyone is a businessman, and time is money. So a few people looked at each other and started to go straight to the topic.
"This is the hard work of Lady Gu." The old man pushed a thin envelope over.
Medicine money is medicine money, hard money is hard money, the two are irrelevant.
Gu Shiba Niang did not decline, nor did she look at it. She believed that she would not be superficial when it comes to money.
"Then it will cost you money." She smiled.
Everyone smiled and was polite to each other.
"Miss Gu, there is something..." After smiling, an old man said with a little hesitation on his face.
When the voice started, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a young man in a cloth and blue scarf came over with excitement holding a pile of writing papers.
He stood outside the Xuan, his eyes swept inside, obviously taken aback.
"Chunfang, what's the matter?" The old man stopped talking, coughed, and said with some dignity.
The young man's complexion was a little excited, his gaze only slightly swept over Gu Shiba Niang, and he lowered his head no longer to look at the second glance.
"Uncle...I...I thought Xie Yuangong was also here...so...so I took the liberty to ask..." He whispered, saying that he was busy and turned around to leave, but unexpectedly bent down and the book fell down, busy. Go pick it up, with a somewhat embarrassed apology.
Xin Chaoyang stood up, helped him pick up two books, and smiled at Gu Shiba Niang.
"Jie Yuan Gong did not come, Xie Yuan Gong's sister is here..." he smiled.
Since coming in, Xin Chaoyang has been sitting at the table, calmly being a tea-cooking boy, without saying a word.
This is the demeanor of everyone. Although Gu Shiba Niang and the elderly present here know in their hearts that this young man already has the decision-making power in the family, he still has to observe the etiquette of the younger generation when these elders are present.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled at him when she heard the words, and turned her gaze on the young man, seeing that he was only seventeen or eighteen, and he was quite handsome in appearance, with a strong bookish air.
Although Dazhou banned merchants from entering official positions, they were not very restrictive on their children's qualifications. Therefore, the businessmen who earned the wealth of life in Jinshan Yinshan, were fed up with the grievances brought about by their status, to their families. The training of children will be divided into two categories, one is to inherit the mantle and do business to earn money, and the other is to study and study to earn fame and gain fame and fortune, which is the real rich family.
Undoubtedly, the young man in front of him is the child of the letter family who has embarked on the path of studying.
"I have seen Lady Gu..." The young man hurriedly bowed to salute, the book in his hand was shaking again.
Gu Shiba Niang hurriedly stood up and returned the gift.
"Eighteen mother, I don’t know if I can ask for it..." Xin Chaoyang smiled, and pointed his finger at the young man. "This is my cousin, Chunfang, who has been admiring Xie Yuan Gong for a long time, but Xie Yuan Gong entered Beijing. I went to school and thanked the guests behind closed doors after I came back. Can you please let Chunfang see you?"
Gu Shiba Niang seemed to be relieved and looked at Xin Chaoyang with a smile.
"If you want to make a certain medicine, I will never agree..." She smiled, "It's okay to talk about seeing my brother."
Xin Chaoyang and the old men laughed.
"It turns out that Lady Gu looked solemnly when she came in, she turned out to be guarding us..." The old man smiled, her smile a little unnatural, "Where can I embarrass the lady any more, it would be too untrustworthy..."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled rather than smiled: "My master said, when dealing with people like you, you must be vigilant and vigilant, or you will sell yourself if you can't figure out that sentence is wrong... I am young, to be honest. Every time I come to see a few elders, I feel very nervous..."
"No wonder Lady Gu never refused to go to the banquet, because she was afraid that she could not eat at the Hongmen banquet..." Xin Chaoyang laughed.
"Exactly." Gu Shiba Niang nodded and smiled.
Everyone laughed.
"Miss Gu is too worried." The old men shook their heads and smiled.
Xin Chunfang, the young man who had been standing outside the door, couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but glanced at this lady Gu, and saw that she was smiling, revealing a kind of open-mindedness that is rare in women.
"Then thank Lady Gu." He bowed his head and thanked again.
"You're welcome, there must be my teacher for a threesome. It is also a good thing for my brother to discuss knowledge with you." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
The young man said a few words, so he didn't dare to retire.
But Xin Chaoyang and the others apologized for his unexpected appearance. After drinking another cup of tea, Gu Shiba Niang asked the old man what he was about to say.
"Just to talk about this matter, Chunfang also studied hard, but it was always a little bit worse. This is the second time I took the exam, still..." the old man said with a smile, shaking his head and sighing.
"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will always pass the exam." Gu Shiba Niang hurriedly comforted.
The old man thanked him again and again, and when the matter was finished, Gu Shiba-niang got up and said goodbye.
Seeing the girl climbing down the steps, the withered bamboo bushes blocked Xin Chaoyang's sight.
"Chaoyang, in fact, if you want to say it is suitable, you are the most suitable..." an old man whispered behind him.
Xin Chaoyang turned around, sat down on the warm mat, poured the tea slowly, and shook his head slowly, "No, I am the most inappropriate."
"Why?" the three old men asked in unison.
They are very proficient in business, and to say that the family relationship here is no different from doing business, but this time Xin Chaoyang's decision is really hard for them to understand.
"How can Chunfang compare to you, in terms of looks and family status, apart from reading a few books, even reading is inferior to you. If you can refer to it, our family will have a Hanlin bachelor early..." The old man said, "Chaoyang, don't you be afraid that the Gu family dislikes your merchant status. Although their family has said a solution, how about a champion? Because of their family background, they have survived drinking tea in the Hanlin courtyard for a lifetime, or put it outside. Let the prefect stop here, although we are businessmen, the relationship extends in all directions. With your son-in-law, it will be like a fish in water for the Gu family’s son. This is a truth they can understand when they think about it, where they can see Chunfang... ..."
Xin Chaoyang shook his head and raised his hand to signal them not to say anything.
"It's not because of this." He smiled, "because she doesn't believe me."
The three old men glanced at each other and were a little surprised, "Ms. Gu doesn't believe you? Don't believe what? It's a three-match six-employee, can we still play with her about marriage?"
"Not this, but..." Xin Chaoyang smiled, "She is wary of me."
There was a helpless flash in his smile, "This little lady is very strange, since the first time I saw her, she gave me the feeling..."
He squeezed his forehead, as if saying the following sentence was really against his will.
"...Know me very well..." Xin Chaoyang said, "This is the first time I have met such a person. No matter what I say or don't say, she just sits there with me. The look in your eyes that knows what you are thinking..."
These words made the three old men look at each other.
"No, Chaoyang, this is what you are worrying about." They said, let alone outsiders, even those who grew up watching Xin Chaoyang, dare not say what he thinks.
"Uncle and uncle, when did I think about it?" Xin Chaoyang said with a solemn expression.
The three old men closed their expressions and nodded.
"So, I'm the most inappropriate..." Xin Chaoyang lowered his head to pour the tea, and the water steamed up to block his expression, "... If you really open up their family to propose marriage with me, you will definitely get a bite. Rejected, so our family will have no chance again."
"Then say that, she is guarding you, and naturally she is guarding our house. Isn't it the same if Chunfang goes?" An old man said with a bad face.
"It's not the same." Xin Chaoyang raised his head, showing a smile, "Chunfang is just right, very similar to Gu's wife. For people who have been in the same situation as yourself, everyone will unconsciously add a bit of favor, which is the saying. Pitiful for the same disease..."
The three old men nodded.
"Then what do you ask Chao Ling to say below? Doesn't it make her feel that our family is very powerful and inhuman? That kind of impression is even worse..." an old man said when he remembered something, frowned slightly, "This Gu In the end, the lady is a poet and writer, and the most taboo is that businessmen like us value profit over righteousness..."
"Let her sympathize," Xin Chaoyang said, "Sympathize with Chaoling, and even Chaoling can be arranged like this by the family, so Chunfang, a collateral member, will not be able to be independent in the future..."
"Just because of sympathy, she would agree to marry Chunfang?" The three old men disagreed, and shook their heads. "This lady Gu, how hard-hearted is this lady, who doesn't know about Jiankang..."
"No, no," Xin Chaoyang waved his hand. "She's not..." At this point, he suddenly didn't want to go on, refilling the water to the teapot, lowered his head and said, "Aside from this, I didn't cheat. She, Chunfang was carefully selected by me, and it is really suitable for her..."
His voice was lowered, and listening carefully could detect a faint taste of it.
Only then did the three elders breathe a sigh of relief, and thought about connecting the words of the past, with joy on their faces.
"Everything has been considered. When Chunfang and Gu Niangzi's family become familiar with each other, they will ask someone to ask for a kiss. For a woman, it is not a blind marriage, but also a scholar who will not humiliate the lintel in the future. The problem, not to mention that she is only wary of letting us ask for medicine again, she would never think that we are just to let Chunfang meet her..." the three said with a smile.
They thought about everything, the only thing they didn’t think about was whether this girl wanted to marry, but they wouldn’t even think about it if they wanted to break their heads. There is no good girl in this world who doesn’t want to marry, all girls, no matter how high or low. Beauty and ugliness will all follow the same path and run towards the same goal, which is to get married. It is a pity that Gu Shiba Niang has already walked this path, so she is going to take a different path.
Not to mention the secret joys of the people in Zhuxuan Tower, and Gu Shiba Niang has always felt that something is wrong since she came out.
"They must have asked for some more individually customized medicine, so with the appearance of the scholar, I blocked this request in advance, so they didn't mention it again..." she thought, frowning as she walked. , I repeated all the scenes in my mind, and they asked themselves to come. This should be the purpose.
She shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. No matter what they had, it was for benefit. If the benefit exceeded her tolerance, she would just refuse.
For her Gu Shiba Niang, there is no friendship, besides, for a family like Xin Chaoyang, what friendship can be said.
"Poor Master Ling, it's worth the price of a batch of wild ginseng..." She sighed, and unconsciously thought of the scholar, who seemed to be inferior to Master Ling in status, and failed to study and failed the exam. It was pitiful. I don't know what benefits will be taken out in the future. . . . . .
"Amitabha Buddha, the female benefactor, it's been a long time since I saw it." Gu Shiba Niang's thoughts were interrupted by a Buddha's name. She couldn't help but stop, frowned, and looked at the old monk who didn't want to see her.
"Know the master." In view of the awe of being seen through the origins, Gu Shiba Niang was reluctant, but still bowed her head to salute.
This old monk has many famous believers. If he refers to himself as an evildoer, he will be in trouble, but at present, the attitude of this old monk can be ~EbookFREE.me~ the female donor is peaceful between the eyebrows, which is very good. it is good. "Knowledge Master said with a smile.
Gu Shiba-niang laughed dryly, pretending not to let her mother leave for so long.
"Female benefactor, everything in the world has a predestined method, let it be natural..." the master said afterwards.
Let it go, this sentence is a taboo for Gu Shiba-niang. For her, it means that their family is damned to death. She stopped and turned around, waved her hand, the little girl understood, and hurriedly walked away a few steps.
"Master, since everything in the world is predestined, why should you disclose the secret? Why not let it go?" She whispered, looking at the old monk with a bit of resentment, "Also, did you say something to Gu Yu? ?"

I can’t move to the next plot smoothly.
