After everyone dispersed, my grandfather's yard was quiet.

The maid brought breakfast.

Gu Jinzhi and his grandfather had breakfast and then began to study.

She was reciting "Mencius". She usually recited it very fluently, but today she made several mistakes. She was absent-minded.

The old man rapped her desk hard with a ruler and said in a stern voice: "Take a break! If you make another mistake, I'll give you ten slaps."

Gu Jinzhi regained his composure, memorized two sections, and then became distracted again.

"Stand up!" The old man's ruler fell on the desk again, "Stretch out your hand."

Gu Jinzhi's little hands were thin and white, and the ruler made a crackling sound when struck.

After five strokes, the palm of her hand turned red. The old man actually didn’t hit her too hard, but her hands were too tender. Seeing that her hands were red, the old man couldn’t bear it and said with a straight face: "There are still five more strokes to remember first."

,If you make another mistake, you will be punished!"

Gu Jin's way is.

"Go back and sit down, and then finish memorizing it," the old man said again.

Gu Jinzhi sat back.

She memorized the following books very smoothly, and she made no mistakes after reciting one chapter.

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

"It's obviously very easy. If you take it seriously, you can finish it quickly, but you have to make so many twists and turns! Remember the five strokes first, and then calculate them later." The old man said, "What was I thinking about just now? I didn't have any thoughts at all.

Spend it on endorsements?”

The voice was stern and questioning, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

Gu Jinzhi said: "I'm thinking about what dad said..."

The old man's eyes turned cold.

"...His words were quite gentle. If someone else had said that, I would have laughed and not taken it to heart. But when my father said it, I felt sad. Compared with outsiders, my parents are the closest people to me. They

What he gave me was the most in the world. And I, who don’t take trivial matters to heart at all, was actually a little angry with him. Does it mean that the more he loves me, the more he asks for more?"

Gu Jin's parents in her previous life were both engaged in politics and came from wealthy families. Due to family and work reasons, they never allowed others to read their true thoughts. They always think twice before speaking to their daughter without leaving anything behind.

Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen are different.

One of them has never been an official and is just a bookworm studying behind closed doors; the other is a housewife who has never dealt with power in her life, but they both retain the innocence of human nature.

Gu Jinzhi obviously liked their true nature. But the moment her father blamed her for Brother Xiu's illness, she felt sad and complained, knowing full well that her father was just being anxious.

As time went by, she became hypocritical...

So she thought a lot.

The stronger the feelings, the more demanding people are. Just like parents must love her unconditionally. Once they have any doubts about her, they have done something wrong.

It is a common thing for human beings to add so many burdens because of the relationship between father and daughter.

It’s better to be less emotional…

Mr. Gu was stunned by what she said.

Then, his ruler hit the desk hard again: "Don't study hard and think about these irrelevant things! Stretch out your hand!"

Gu Jinzhi obediently stretched out his hand.

The old man tried to hit her hard, but the ruler fell on his palm and it didn't hurt at all, just like before.

However, the old man was so stunned that he raised his hand high, lowered it gently, and hit her five ring feet, which made up for the debt he had just owed.

"Keep studying!" the old man said.

Gu Jin's way is.

After that, she was very attentive in studying. After she finished speaking, the traces were erased in her heart, and she didn't think about it any more.

After a few days of hard work, "Mencius" has been memorized.

The old man was very satisfied.

"I'll have a rest today. Go back and see your mother..." The old man closed the book and said.

He knew that the family was in chaos, and Gu Jinzhi's mind was not on studying. He must be thinking about her mother.

Just as Gu Jinzhi was about to say yes, the servant came in and said that Doctor Qin was here.

She had to sit back again.

The old man asked you to come in.

Imperial Physician Qin changed into a brand-new sixth-grade Imperial Physician official uniform today and paid a very grand visit to Mr. Gu.

When he entered the door, he bowed to the old man and shouted: "Teacher!"

When Qin Shen took the Fourth Examination to Taiyuan Hospital, the examiner was Mr. Gu.

Like the officials, they also called their examiners teachers.

The old man nodded slightly and asked him to sit down.

"The student has never visited his teacher in the past six years. It is really a heinous crime. It is wrong for a student to accompany his teacher." Qin Shensi did not sit down, but lifted up his clothes and kowtowed to the old man.

"Now I am a commoner, and Mei Qing is still a sixth-grade imperial doctor. I can't bear to act like this." The old man said, "Get up quickly."

Two years before Qin Shensi came to Yanling, he would send messages to visit during the New Year and holidays. But the old man deliberately avoided the world at that time and saw no one.

"Once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. A teacher should never say anything that you cannot bear, or hurt your students," Qin Shen said.

After being so polite, I sat down.

The old man got straight to the point and asked him why he was here today.

"My ancestors once opened a Baicaotang, and then moved to Kyoto. My uncle has always been in charge of it." Qin Shensi said slowly, "It's just that the two uncles in my uncle's family were not good at running it. After my uncle left,

Baicaotang gradually became lonely and closed down. My father bought those plaques. A few years ago when I came to Yanling, I separated from my eldest brother and got that plaque..."

Apart from his wife's dowry and the plaque, his eldest brother and aunt gave him nothing.

"...The student's long-cherished wish in his life is to reorganize his ancestral business. A few days ago, the princess received a reward. With enough capital, the student wanted to reopen Qin's Baicao Hall. The student asked the princess for instructions, and the princess agreed and gave some reward money. But the student

I have little knowledge, so I think my mentor is Xinglin Taishan Beidou. If I encounter difficulties in the future, please ask my mentor to take care of me."

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Mei Qing, you're welcome. If you need any help, just ask."

But I was thinking in my heart, could it be that Qin Meiqing came here just to say these polite words?

Since he is opening Baicaotang, what does he need to take care of? Doesn’t he have Princess ** as his backer?

"Thank you so much, my mentor! Thank you so much, my mentor!" Qin Shen thanked him four times, stood up and bowed to the old man twice.

The old man waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

After sitting down, Qin Shensi glanced at Gu Jinzhi behind the desk and said: "Teacher, the princess was ill that day, and the student misunderstood the cause of the illness. I really couldn't live up to my teacher's teachings and discredited the teacher's sect! Then, it was

The Seventh Miss has protected her in every possible way, so she is favored by the princess today. Most of the silver reward should have been shared by the Seventh Miss. It was just the student's selfishness, thinking of opening Baicaotang as soon as possible, so she spent the money..."

Gu Jinzhi smiled helplessly.

She was about to say that it didn't have to be like this, when she heard Qin Shensi continue: "I drew up a deed, went to the Yamen to seal it, and gave the two shares of Baicaotang to Miss Qi. I hope Miss Qi won't dislike it."

The old man was still thinking about what Qin Meiqing was going to say, and he didn't understand until now.

This honest man is so honest!
