Chapter 289 Ignore and ignore

When He Jinglan was picking plum blossoms, two handsome men were standing beside her.

One of them was smiling, and the other had a stern expression.

He Jinglan held up the plum blossom, turned around and said with a smile, "It is said that auspicious snow means a good harvest, and the wheat will surely grow vigorously next year."

He Jinghui smiled dotingly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.

Ever since his sister came back from the northwest, she would talk about farming every now and then.

Has he really been assimilated by Boss He?

When He Jinglan left Huachidu Village, winter wheat had already been planted.

She glanced at Mu Nanzhao and mentioned deliberately, "Will it snow in Huachidu Village? Xixi will definitely be very happy to see the first snow."

"Brother Qi Xiu, don't you agree?"

Ever since He Jinglan gave up Mu Nanzhao, she no longer called him "Azhao".

Before, he just called him by his name in private, but now that he is back in the capital, he still has to observe the etiquette of old friendship, so he uses his nickname and calls him "brother".

Mu Nanzhao has had no expression on his face since a while ago, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Hearing He Jinglan ask him directly, he turned his head and opened his thin lips, "With her preferences, she will be happy."

Especially when she was certain that he would not return to Huachidu Village, her mood should have been even better.

Thinking of this, Mu Nanzhao's face became even colder.

It was obvious that he had released Master Liu a long time ago. On the surface, he let Master Liu continue teaching and would replace him after finding a suitable village school teacher.

In fact, he wanted to leave a connection close to Gu Xixi so that when she thought of him, she could find a place to contact him at any time.

However……

It has been more than a month since Mu Nanzhao returned to the capital.

Gu Xixi didn't receive any news, didn't hear, didn't ask, and didn't pay any attention.

Mu Nanzhao was very sure that this woman was practicing what she had said before.

Just pretend that she had never known him, just pretend that she had never been to Huachidu Village.

Just as if he had never existed by her side.

He Jinghui couldn't stand watching his friend's gloomy face and cold smile, so he said, "If you are thinking about her, then go find her."

"What's the point of being upset here? And you asked us to accompany you, freezing outside in the snow."

I was drinking tea in the warm room just now.

Mu Nanzhao suddenly said it was hot and stuffy and wanted to take a walk in the garden.

Mu Nanzhao glared at him.

He Jinghui was not afraid of him, "I will still tell you even if you glare at me!"

"Since the first day of entering the court, have you ever felt good?"

"You should have all the documents and memorials from various places that have been piled up in the past two years reorganized, and you should personally review them, especially the memorials from various places related to agriculture, mulberry, and people's livelihood."

"You said that the Empress Dowager and her party increased taxes, and that this should be corrected in a timely manner. Your Majesty personally agreed and adjusted the taxes. Moreover, in consideration of the merits of the Northwest Army, he also exempted the Northwest from taxes for two years."

"But you're still unhappy. When you're unhappy, you work like crazy."

"Now the officials of various departments are almost exhausted by you. Everyone is nervous, afraid that you will check them."

"To put it nicely, it's the Regent who is diligent and works tirelessly to handle official business. To put it bluntly, you are just feeling aggrieved and everyone else has to suffer for it."

Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "In the past, when the relatives of the emperor were in power, they made too many mistakes. If I don't correct them as soon as possible, should I just let it go?"

He Jinghui was furious. "You also said there were too many mistakes. Can this be completed in one or two months?"

"The chronic illness needs to be eradicated, and it takes a long time and effort. You know this better than I do."

He Jinglan nodded in agreement, "Even if Brother Qi Xiu works himself to death, my brother and the other adults will have to clean up the remaining mess."

The brother and sister looked at Mu Nanzhao with sympathy, revealing the meaning of "we understand you".

Mu Nanzhao felt as if he was pricked by a needle and walked away with a gloomy face.

He Jinglan chased after him and shouted, "I won't laugh at you! I understand!"

"You can't give up just because of one or two rejections!"

"Out of friendship, I have already told you the news clearly!"

"Your opponent is strong! The one you like is even stronger! If you retreat! You will lose!!"

He Jinghui looked at his sister with a smile on his face.

This girl, it’s not in vain that she read so many storybooks, this slogan is so catchy.

In the wind and snow, Mu Nanzhao walked faster and faster, as if there were wolves chasing him from behind.

There are three days left until New Year's Eve.

Gu Xixi didn't go anywhere these days. The whole family ate and drank together, experiencing the happiness of wintering.

Taking advantage of the farmers' vacation time, Gu Xixi would look through the pharmacopoeia in her spare time, learn more about medicinal materials, and practice making medicines.

At first, the old doctor was dissatisfied with Gu Xixi for only learning how to prepare medicine.

Especially when I saw the medicines that Gu Xixi prepared herself, apart from poisons, there were various medicines that caused adverse reactions in the human body.

The old doctor was puzzled, "My dear disciple, why do you wear these things?"

Gu Xixi was eager to learn and did not understand the old doctor's worries. "Did I prescribe the wrong medicine? Master, do you think there is any other prescription that needs to be adjusted?"

The old doctor was silent for a while, "There is nothing wrong with the prescription you prescribed."

"Even I can't see where the adjustment is."

The old doctor couldn't help but look up at Gu Xixi and said, "That's great. You have such talent, why don't you go back and make some medicine to cure diseases and save lives?"

Gu Xixi blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't learn medicine from you. I don't know how to observe, smell, ask and palpate. How can I cure diseases and save lives? Master, please stop joking."

The old doctor: "Then learn it!"

Gu Xixi said coquettishly: "I've already agreed that I won't learn it."

The old doctor was a little helpless. After a while, he said, "Some of the poisons you had are too toxic. Just in case, I have to make more antidotes for you."

Gu Xixi smiled, "I did it, and I will be extremely careful when using it, so you can rest assured."

The old doctor looked a little confused, as if something was not right.

At this time, Shitou ran in, "Sister Xixi, Master Liu came to say goodbye and said he has something for you!"

Gu Xixi took the opportunity to stand up and floated away.

The old doctor was suddenly startled when he heard the door closing.

From the tone of that girl just now, it was clear that she had used poison, and more than once!

In the front yard, Master Liu politely declined Aunt Zhang's invitation to come in for tea.

He stood outside the gate, waiting for Gu Xixi to come over, and bowed with a smile, "I am grateful to Boss Gu for taking care of me in Huachidu Village, so I came here to say goodbye."

Before the village school was closed for the holidays, Master Liu had already announced that he was about to leave.

After the New Year, another village school teacher will come to replace him.

Gu Xixi also returned the greeting to Master Liu, "Mr. Liu, you are too kind. I am grateful for your help many times."

"I hope Master Liu has a safe journey and a successful career."

Master Liu was startled. He was indeed about to enter the government, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words."

Finally he took out the envelope and handed it to Gu Xixi.

"There's no need for me to say anything. Boss Gu must know the origin of this letter."
