Yuanbao ran back to the academy, but before he got close, he heard a violent vomiting sound coming from inside the courtyard.
Yuanbao knew then that he was definitely doomed today.
He carefully walked behind Han Mingyue and gently patted her back.
Han Mingyue kept vomiting until she could vomit nothing more, then she weakly straightened up.
Yuanbao nimbly ran all the way and poured a cup of tea for Han Mingyue to rinse her mouth.
"Young master, come, have some tea to rinse your mouth!" Yuanbao said cautiously.
If he had known that the aroma wafting from Gu Lili's house today was from pig intestines, Yuanbao would never have urged his young master to go and freeload.
However, those pig intestines were really delicious.
Han Mingyue rinsed his mouth and finally felt a little better. He felt like he had almost vomited up his internal organs.
Han Mingyue found a chair and sat down, squinting at Laifu.
Yuanbao felt that even though it was already spring, the temperature around him had suddenly dropped.
It makes you want to shiver; what's going on?
Seeing his young master looking at him like that, Yuanbao quickly said, "Young master, I'll go pick the lice off Dahuang right away!"
Rather than letting her young master punish her, she might as well take the initiative.
Han Mingyue snorted coldly, which was taken as her agreement.
Yuanbao felt like he had been granted a pardon and quickly ran to Dahuang's doghouse to look for fleas.
Han Mingyue slumped into her chair the moment she saw Yuanbao leave.
Luckily, he had practiced martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold it in until he got home to throw up.
If I were to say that in front of the Gu siblings, it would definitely hurt their feelings.
They kindly offered their food to him and Laifu, yet they themselves felt they had let them down.
He could understand people who loved eating pig hearts and livers, but he simply couldn't understand why they wouldn't even spare the large intestines that were used to hold pig manure...
Thinking of this, Han Mingyue felt nauseous again, stood up, and ran to the chamber pot once more.
......
Gu Lili and her three siblings all agreed that Han Mingyue was in a hurry to go home to relieve herself. After Han Mingyue and her servant left, they all went about their own business.
Gu Huanhuan was embroidering, Gu Yunchu was chopping wood, and Gu Lili was helping Gu Yanyu prepare the things he would need for school tomorrow.
After tidying up her things, Gu Lili moved a chair over and admired her new home.
Gu Lili added several more workshops to her original plan because she was preparing to make maltose and soap.
Fortunately, Gu Lili has bought up all the properties in this area, so she can build whatever she wants.
There are four rooms, each serving as a bedroom for four people, and a large kang (heated brick bed) near the kitchen, which Gu Lili plans to keep for use in the winter.
There is a main room, a kitchen, and next to the kitchen is a shower room for the siblings to wash up.
Gu Lili specially had the craftsmen build the outhouse next to the courtyard wall, and even divided it into two sides.
There were wooden boards hanging on both sides of the door, with patterns carved by Gu Lili with a sharp knife.
On one side is a simple silhouette of a woman, and on the other side is a simple silhouette of a man.
Even an illiterate person knows which side is the men's latrine and which side is the women's latrine.
This avoids the awkward situation of someone suddenly barging in while you're using the restroom.
Next to the outhouse was the chicken coop.
The chicks and ducklings we bought back then have all shed their tender yellow feathers and grown brand new ones.
They weigh over a pound each, and you can vaguely tell the male from the female by their combs.
This is all thanks to Gu Yanyu and Gu Huanhuan. Whenever they have free time, the two of them go out to find wild vegetables.
When we got them back, we chopped the wild vegetables into small pieces with a kitchen knife before feeding them to the animals.
Even the big black dog that the village head gave them back then has been well-fed and glossy by them.
Right now, it's lying on the ground, lazily basking in the sun.
But its big ears were always perked up, listening to the sounds around it.
If there is even the slightest abnormality, it will immediately jump up and bark wildly.
Shout out to warn your family that there is danger!
In one corner of the courtyard wall, there were flower seeds that Gu Lili had sown early in the morning.
Because they were planted early, several wildflowers have already bloomed, while the rest are still in bud.
I believe that in another two or three days, the original corner of Gu Lili's house will be completely surrounded by these Gesang flowers.
Gu Lili not only planted cosmos flowers, but also several grapevines in the corner of the wall.
By next summer, these grapevines should cover the entire courtyard wall.
Then we'll build a trellis, so in the summer we can sit in the yard, cool off, and eat grapes.
Diagonally opposite the main room of Gu Lili's family home is the house that Gu Lili added to.
In this way, even if they want to ask people from the village for help in the future, they can ensure their family's privacy and prevent outsiders from spying on them.
Of the additional rooms, Gu Lili kept one as a storeroom, one for boiling sugar, one for fermentation, and two for making soap.
Gu Lili took a sip of her tea and looked at her newly built house with satisfaction.
Next, she started making sugar and soap. Gu Lili believed that as long as she worked hard, her days of getting rich were just around the corner.
That night, Gu Lili finally got a good night's sleep.
She could turn over freely, and she could no longer hear Gu Yanyu and Gu Yunchu's snoring.
The next day, the sun rose.
Gu Yanyu got up early and changed into the white robe that Gu Lili had prepared for him.
In the past month or so, Gu Yanyu's diet has improved, and she has grown taller by leaps and bounds.
His complexion was no longer as sallow as before, but instead had a healthy wheat color.
His white clothes accentuated his refined and scholarly air.
He really does look quite like a scholar.
Gu Lili looked at her younger brother with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Yan Yu, let me help you tie your hair up," Gu Lili said gently.
Gu Yanyu waved her hands repeatedly, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister, I'll comb my own hair from now on. Tiedan told me that he combs his own hair and doesn't need his mother's help anymore."
Tie Dan is a year younger than Gu Yanyu. If Tie Dan knew that he had an older sister to help him comb his hair, he would definitely laugh at him.
After hearing this, Gu Lili had no choice but to give up and handed the wooden comb in her hand to Gu Yanyu, letting him comb his own hair.
Gu Lili felt a little disappointed, but even more touched.
The youngest brother is already quite grown up.
After combing her hair, the four siblings had breakfast, and then Gu Lili took Gu Yanyu to the academy.
Although it's close by, this is the first day of school.
Most importantly, I also have to pay tuition for Gu Yanyu.
When we arrived at the academy, many children from the village had already arrived.
