As the youngest Heavenly Master since the establishment of the Guiyi Sect, Gu Lingze transmigrated on his way back to his sect.
His family was penniless, and he had a pair of younger siblings...
When Gu Lingze heard the name "Brother Gouzi", he suddenly felt unwell.
Considering that he was also a rare genius of the Guiyi sect, and he became a Heavenly Master when he was less than 20 years old, this title was really embarrassing.
Gu Lingze looked at Jinzi seriously and said, "I recognized you, little Jinzi. Also, don't call me Brother Gouzi in the future. Just call me brother. I also have my own name, Gu Lingze." After saying that, he touched Jinzi's little head.
Jinzi looked at him stupidly for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran out.
Less than half a minute later, he came running in again, holding Lingzi's hand, "Brother! Brother, what's Lingzi's name? What's Lingzi's name?"
Jinzi was running out of breath and didn't realize he was doing something stupid.
Gu Lingze smiled, picked up one in each hand and put them on the bed.
He tapped silly Jinzi's nose and said, "You call her Lingzi, so what else should I call her? But you two really need to change your names. You can't keep fooling around like this. Jinzi, you have to study in the future."
After hearing what Gu Lingze said, Jin Zi's eyes instantly turned red.
He asked with a sob, "Can I study, brother?" After asking, he lowered his head and wiped his face hard twice with his sleeve.
"I don't want to study. I just want to grow up quickly so I can grow my own crops and not be hungry anymore. Brother, I also want to save up a dowry for my sister."
Gu Lingze felt very uncomfortable after hearing this and held Jinzi and Lingzi in his arms.
"If my brother says that I can let you study, then you can study. You don't have to worry about the family affairs. From now on, the three of us will depend on each other. I am your real brother. You two should grow up well. You will definitely have everything that other children have!"
After hearing these words, Jinzi burst into tears. Lingzi also felt sad when she saw her brother crying.
Jinzi cried for a while, wiped her tears and snot with her sleeve, and said, "Brother, Lingzi and I will listen to you. Aren't you going to give us names? How about we take your last name? That way, everyone will know that we are a family."
"You must give me a surname. I've said I'm your biological brother. If you don't give me the same surname, I won't agree." Gu Lingze said with a smile.
Gu Lingze knew after thinking about it that Jinzi and Lingzi’s father was not a good father either.
After all, families who value their children a little, no matter what their conditions are, will choose a day to present some gifts to the scholar and give the child a decent name after the child is born. It is obvious that Jinzi and Lingzi were named casually, and no one thought of giving them a proper name at all.
Gu Lingze thought about it and realized that he had read books when he was awake in the mansion before.
So I know that the structure of characters in this era is similar to that of my own era, except that some characters are in traditional Chinese.
For Gu Lingze, who had been reading Taoist ancient books since childhood, it was natural for him to do it with ease.
So he went to the firewood pile, broke off a branch, and wrote three big words on the ground - Gu Lingze.
Then he pointed at the characters and said to his younger brother and sister, "This is my name, Gu Lingze. Don't call me Brother Gouzi anymore. If any of you call me that, I'll tickle your feet. Even begging for mercy won't work."
After Gu Lingze finished speaking, Jinzi started laughing and shook her little feet.
Gu Lingze squatted on the ground and wrote again - Gu Chaoyu and Gu Chunlin. They were Jinzi and Lingzi's names respectively.
Lingze, Chaoyu and Chunlin all mean rain, and all represent the rain that moistens all things, and are auspicious omens.
I just hope these two names can bring good luck to the children and bless them to grow up safely.
The wound on the back of Gu Lingze's head that had been transferred to him by spiritual energy was almost healed in a short while.
He touched the cloth on his head and pulled it off. It was almost healed, so he better not tie it up.
It's covered in blood, which looks creepy. Covering it up all the time is not conducive to the wound's recovery.
After letting the two little ones sit on the bed to keep warm and tidying up his appearance as much as possible, Gu Lingze decided to go see Aunt Tao first.
Now that I'm much better, it's time to go and thank him.
As he walked on the road, people looked at him from time to time, but he didn't take it seriously. A group of children came jumping and skipping in front of him.
The little fat boy who was surrounded in the middle pointed at him and shouted, "It's a fool. The fool is out. Let's hit the fool for fun. He won't hide." After that, he squatted down to look for stones, and the other children followed suit.
The little fat guy found a rock as big as his fist and was about to throw it at Gu Lingze -
The person in front of me had eyes like cold stars, and although his face was still a little pale, he actually looked very majestic.
The little fat boy was so frightened that he didn't even feel the stone falling from his hand.
Gu Lingze just glanced at him lightly, then looked away and walked forward slowly.
He secretly made a hand gesture. The fat boy used to take the lead in bullying the three people in the thatched cottage, so a small punishment and a big warning would not be too much.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at Aunt Tao's house and knocked on the door, but the door was not closed tightly and opened by itself.
As soon as Gu Lingze stepped into the yard, he heard a series of violent coughing sounds, as if the man was about to die. Gu Lingze knew it was Aunt Tao's son.
Aunt Tao's son Xu Mingyan was indeed a young talent, a good student. He became a student in his first year of school, and passed the examination for a scholar before he was fourteen. Logically, his future was bright.
Who would have thought that just before preparing for the provincial examination he would catch a cold and has been bedridden ever since.
In that era, medical conditions were backward and a cold could easily kill one.
Gu Lingze did not think about anything else. As the saying goes, those who practiced Taoism in ancient times all also practiced medicine.
The Guiyi School has always maintained the tradition of integrating medicine and science. If it is really a cold, he may be able to help.
But when he stepped into Aunt Tao's yard, he found something was wrong.
It’s too cold. This coldness has nothing to do with the weather in early winter. It’s a kind of chill that goes straight into the bones.
Gu Lingze frowned. The cause of Xu Mingyan's illness must be complicated.
Aunt Tao was so sad because her son's health was getting worse that she didn't notice Gu Lingze had entered the yard.
It was Xu Mingyan who noticed it first. He looked at him and said, "Gouzi is here. Is your injury better?" Xu Mingyan spoke with a weak breath, his lips were pale, and he looked very bad.
Except for Jinzi and Lingzi, others don’t know that he is no longer stupid, but Xu Mingyan is still willing to talk calmly to such a fool as him.
Gu Lingze has already entered the body, so he can naturally read people's faces -
Xu Mingyan had long and broad ears, a square forehead, rosy eyebrows, delicate eyes, and a natural and relaxed spirit. He looked like a man born to be good at studying.
Especially the eyebrows are like rosy clouds, rosy clouds do not refer to color, but a shape.
Xu Mingyan's eyebrows were angular, close to the skin and arranged in an orderly manner. Not only should his path to the imperial examination be very smooth, but he would also have the appearance of being the top scorer in the imperial examination.
But the hint of green between the eyebrows blocked this excellent fortune.
