Chapter 99 100. Idle

Jin Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed, "It is said that Doctor Chu's medical skills are best at regulating the body. Maybe he can really help Fourth Sister-in-law.

Then my third sister-in-law can go with me, maybe she can recover until she is 28 years old."

Although these words sounded like compliments, Liu Liu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

"Everyone is idle," Li Cuicui stared at Gu Wenheng, "Have you heard any news?"

Gu Wenheng, "It is said that the pacification envoy appointed by the emperor himself has arrived in Daocheng. There may be news in the next few days."

"real?"

Gu Wenheng nodded. "The whole city knows this news. If you don't believe it, just go to the city gate and you'll know. Everyone is discussing this matter now."

"God bless us, these hard times are finally coming to an end."

“…”

"Now that the news has come down, everyone will go to the city gate to register tomorrow. Now let's reach a consensus. Those who are willing to return home should stand on the left, and those who want to settle down here should stand on the right." Gu Sanbu has aged a lot these days. The decision of whether to return home or leave his hometown torments him day and night.

"There is another important thing, that is, the envoy will go to the three northern provinces to check the drought situation, and allow everyone to follow their team if they want to go back, but they will not be provided with food and accommodation."

"What's the difference? We still have to walk all the way there."

"Don't talk nonsense. At least your safety on the road is guaranteed. But if anything really happens, the adults will help you."

"If we go back now, will it rain?"

"Stop arguing. The police are still waiting for everyone's decision. Hurry up and line up to register. If you are late, we will report you as people who are about to return home." Gu Shulin shouted loudly, and finally suppressed the noisy voices.

"Mom, let me make this clear. Our family must stay here. If not for anything else, it's for the sake of your two grandsons." Gu Yuanhuo saw Li Cuicui coming over and spoke first.

Li Cuicui, "I'm not going anywhere. Wherever you guys go, I'll follow you. I worked so hard to raise you, and I'm still waiting for you to be filial to me in the future."

Gu Yuanhuo grinned, "Mom, if you had thought it through earlier, I'd been worrying about your son every day, afraid that he would never see me again."

"Get lost, do you know how to talk?" Gu Yuanjin kicked him on the butt. "May you live a long life and enjoy the filial piety of our sons."

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my broken mouth." Gu Yuanhuo smiled and put his arm around Li Cuicui's shoulders. "Let's be filial to mother together in the future and make her the most blessed old lady in our clan."

Li Cuicui was so happy that her face was also full of joy. "Then you brothers must try your best to choose a place. I don't want to have to run around everywhere looking for my son when I am old."

Although the sons are filial, there is always competition among the brothers, especially the third and fifth sons. Their families have been at odds with the seventh son recently.

"Mom, the place hasn't been decided yet. It's too early to talk about this. It's not something we have the final say on." Gu Yuanshui thought for a moment and knew what his mother meant.

Li Cuicui, "..."

Perhaps because of the intense discussions before, a small number of people who had previously considered going back have changed their minds.

Seeing everyone standing aside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to separate.

Although the fleeing groups like the one in Baini'ao were singled out and given priority, even so, they were dispersed to several villages.

"Where is Gaoling Village?" Everyone had a bad feeling when they heard this unfamiliar village name.

"This Gaoling, Gaoling, isn't it the same as our Kaoshan Village? Isn't it going back to the original place?"

Gu Sanbu grabbed the document in his hand and nervously looked at the yamen runner who was about to leave. "Sir, how is the location of Gaoling Village in Fu County?"

The yamen runner shook his head. "We haven't been to this place either. These are all places reported by the county magistrates. Since we can accommodate you, there shouldn't be any problem."

Seeing the bailiff turning around and leaving, Gu Sanbu quickly called a few young men and asked them to go and find out what this place was.

Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian didn't want to wait here, so they went to the city gate, paid the ten cents fee to enter the city, and went straight to the bookstore.

"What would you like to order today, Mr. Gu?" When Shopkeeper Qian saw the two big customers appearing in front of him again, his eyes and brows widened with smiles.

"I want the local gazetteer of Daocheng. Do you have it?"

"Please follow me," Shopkeeper Qian quickly led them to a corner, "Here are local chronicles of various places. If you need anything, come to me."

"Thank you, shopkeeper," Gu Wenheng began to pick and choose, not restricting himself to this city, and picked up more than ten books.

Seeing so many books, Manager Qian quickly picked up the abacus and began to count, "Chenghui, the total is twenty-three taels and five cents."

Jin Qianqian once again felt how difficult it is to study in this era. Just these few books can equal two years' income for ordinary people.

There was no sign of it on his face, and he happily paid the bill.

When Shopkeeper Qian saw that it was this young lady who paid again, he was no longer as surprised as the first time. He calmly took out half a dollar of silver and asked, "Do you need me to help you pack it?"

"Thank you, boss. I can take it away like this," Gu Wenheng shook his head, turned around and left with the book in his arms, following Jin Qianqian.

They did not leave the city directly, but instead went to Tianfu Restaurant and asked for a small private room.

"The geographical location of Fu County seems to be pretty good. It is located on the only way to Shangjing, and is only two days' journey from Shangjing. However, there is no detailed record of Gaoling Village. It just says that it is a village under its jurisdiction. This local chronicle is too deceptive." Jin Qianqian couldn't help but complain after reading it.

"We just want to register for the household registration now. The place is actually quite convenient for us, but we still have to consider where to stay when the time comes."

Jin Qianqian silently counted the silver she had on her and said, "Do you think we should exchange some more silver while we are still in this city?"

Gu Wenheng, "What can I exchange for?"

Jin Qianqian narrowed her eyes, "Do you remember Doctor Chu?"

Gu Wenheng: "..." Is my memory that bad?

"I want to sell him some medicinal herbs. We got them by chance while fleeing from the famine. It can be explained away without being conspicuous."

Gu Wenheng, "This is a good idea, but aren't those herbs growing well? Wouldn't it be a pity to sell them?"

Jin Qianqian immediately became proud, "Don't forget, I also collected a lot of medicinal herbs before, and all kinds of so-called wild ginseng were piled in a corner.

As for the purple Ganoderma I picked before, although they are not so legendary, they are rare after all, so they should be worth something.”
