Auntie Du’s hand was loosened.
Zhang Zhuan hurriedly walked outside, walking not far from the side door, slowing her pace and walking through as she normally would.
The subordinates in the government were now treating him with much more respect. Lady Zhang had died, and if Aunt Du was raised to be the first wife, Zhang Zhuan would be considered the first born. The subordinates nodded and shouted, “Second Young Master.”
Zhang Zhuan took out a few copper coins and threw them to him. The servant happily took them, opened the side door, waited for him to go out and then hurriedly closed it again, and happily returned to the hut with the coins in his hand.
Zhang Zhuan walked unhurriedly out of the street, quickening his pace the moment he turned the corner.
He did not dare to go through the front door, but went straight to the back door. The fellow led him to the front of Gu Yi’s house, and after Xiao Si had reported, he pushed the door open and let him in.
No sooner had he put one foot in the door than he said eagerly, “I’ve inquired, Zhang Huai has gone to find someone to deal with you and the Yuan family.”
“What kind of person is he looking for?”
Zhang Zhuan shook his head, “Didn’t ask, he reacted with rejection when my aunt asked Zhang Huai about his whereabouts, my aunt was afraid he would wake up and only asked this, please also ask Duke Gu to make early preparations.”
“Have you eaten?”
Gu Yi suddenly changed the subject.
Zhang Zhuanwei froze for a moment before shaking his head.
“Xiao Si.”
Xiao Si pushed the door in.
“Tell Master Wei to get a separate table of delicious food for Young Master Zhang.”
Xiao Si answered.
“Young Master Gu ……”
When Zhang Zhuan was about to say something else, Xiao Si had already made the gesture of inviting, “Young Master Zhang, please do so.”
Zhang Zhuan could only swallow back his words and follow him out.
Boss Wei let Zhang Zhuan go to an empty room in the backyard, ordered someone to serve him a hot pot, and came out to this side of the house.
“Young master.”
“Be vigilant these days, put people on watch in shifts at night, prepare a gong, and if there is anything unusual, ring it immediately to alert the people around. Remember, no killing in the restaurant until it’s absolutely necessary.”
“Yes.”
Gu Yi got up and headed out, and Boss Wei turned around and walked him to the entrance of the backyard, saw him and Xiao Si get into the carriage, and then turned and hurried back to the house where Zhang Zhuan was.
When the coachman returned to Dr. Yao’s place, Xu and Song Wan Yue had already left. Gu Yi asked Doctor Yao to take some herbs to invigorate the blood and remove blood stasis, and went to the Song family in the carriage.
Xu had just come out of her own house and was about to go to the hall to dispense the hotpot base when she heard the sound of the carriage and went over to open the door.
“Uncle mother.”
Gu Yi walked in, carrying herbs in his hand, “Doctor Yao is really old and confused, he was so focused on sticking needles in you that he forgot to get your medicine.”
Xu, ……
was puzzled, Dr. Yao was highly skilled in medicine, how could he forget to take his own medicine?
Smiling, he took it, “Trouble Yi’er, let you run again, tired, come in.”
“I’m not tired.”
Gu Yi replied with a smile, “Is the little girl here?”
“She’s gone to the workshop, wait, I’ll go and shout.”
“No need, I’ll go and look for her, and check out the workshop on the way.”
Xu wanted to accompany him, but he stopped her, gesturing to Xiao Si not to follow either, and went over to the workshop at his own leisure.
In the workshop, a group of women were working feverishly. They had been paid for their work a few days before, and when they took it home, the family’s eyes were aglow. The men, in particular, were so warm and fuzzy that they could not wait to wash their feet, a treatment they had never enjoyed before, and they worked harder and harder.
Song Shen and Song Wan Yue were talking about something in the workshop, when Gu Yi lifted his foot and walked in, the laughter in the workshop came to an abrupt halt.
“You guys go on with your work, I just came to take a look.”
The women hurriedly lowered their heads and went to work, not even daring to breathe.
“Tsk tsk ……”
Song Shen walked over, “Young Master Gu is even more frightening than the legendary tiger, look, what kind of fright has been given to these aunts and uncles of mine.”
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows, realizing that Song Shen still remembered his revenge for saying that he would remember the bookkeeping method after reading it once, and disliked him back unceremoniously, “It’s not that I scare people, it’s that second brother is too incompetent, it’s been so long and he still hasn’t honed people out.”
Song Shen,……
Song Wan Yue smiled and walked over, as if inadvertently separating the two, lest in a moment Song Shen be angry wailing, affecting the image in front of a group of working people.
“Let’s go, it’s hot here, stay long and sweat, you’ll catch a cold if you go out.”
Song Shen’s heart was uncomfortable as he listened. He spent every day in the workshop, but he had never heard his little sister say such things to him.
He said, “Yes, young masters from rich families are weak and can’t stand the wind, even a breeze can catch a cold.”
Gu Yi smiled, “I’m not as good as second brother, even if I drink two scoops of cold water on this cold day, I won’t have diarrhea.”
Song Shen,……
Song Wan Yue pursed her lips and pulled Gu Yi out, the cold wind blew, she subconsciously shivered.
“Where is the cloak I gave you?”
That was the fabric he had personally selected and personally watched over the embroiderer to make it.
“It’s in the house, thinking it’s only a few steps away, so I didn’t wear it out.”
Gu Yi took her hand and walked quickly back inside her house, once he entered, he noticed the lack of heat and frowned, “I’ll ask Xiao Si to go back and pull some charcoal.”
“No need, Grandma has already sent Second Uncle to buy it, it will be back by the time they return today.”
Song Shu had never bought charcoal before and was afraid that it would not be a good buy. After closing the stall for the past few days, she had run around the places selling charcoal in the county, and took advantage of the time when the stall was less crowded to go around the market.
The red cloak was placed on the stool, so Gu Yi picked it up and put it on Song Wan Yue, “I have something to say to you.”
Song Wan Yue poured a cup of water for him and let him hold it in his hands to warm it up before saying, “Speak.”
Gu Yi told her what Zhang Zhuan had said, “In these days, I will send Xiao Si to pick you and your aunt up every day, and I will also arrange for people at home and at second uncle’s side, you also try not to go out alone, and if there is anything you must do, wait for me to come and go together.”
“Good.”
Gu Yi couldn’t help but touch her head, Song Wan Yue tilted her head to avoid it and gave him a fierce glare, Gu Yi snapped his hand back.
There was a movement at the door, Erma was about to come in when she lifted the curtain, but when she saw Gu Yi, she instantly lowered the curtain again and ran to the hall.
Song Wangyue glared at him again.
Gu Yi touched his nose innocently, he was so wronged, it was that little girl who had to be afraid of him, what did he have to do with it?
“Right, tomorrow big brother is on lenten leave, you go with me to pick him up first, and then I’ll accompany my mother to Dr. Yao’s in the afternoon for a needle.”
Gu Yi gladly agreed, “Good.”
The next morning, Gu Yi picked up Song Wan Yue and went to the county town to pick up Song Si. When they arrived, the students in the college were leaving one after another.
