Listening to Guo Dongshi's words, Mr. Guo guessed that she was fine and just wanted to thank her.
Qiao Huaping felt that she had nothing to do with the Guo family. Although her pills did save Mr. Guo's life, the Guo family paid for the pill with a piece of cloth, which was enough;
I bought her ten pills and took good care of her business.
Therefore, in Qiao Huaping's case, Mr. Guo's facts are really clean.
Besides, it was very hot and stuffy in the cave, and Qiao Huaping didn't really want to move around.
How interesting it is to watch her four cubs playing chess and jumping in the pond.
Qiao Huaping never made things difficult for others. She waved her hand and rejected Guo Dongshi: "Hey, I'm too polite, no need."
Mrs. Guo Dong was also a cheerful person. When she saw Qiao Huaping acting like this, she didn't bother and nodded: "Okay."
Qiao Huaping put this matter to the back of her mind.
Unexpectedly, not long after, she heard some noise and immediately became speechless.
Not far away, several gentlemen from the Guo family came over supporting old scholar Guo.
Each household in the cave occupies not much space. Although there is still a long distance between Guo Lao Xiucai and her group, Qiao Huaping can still feel that Guo Lao Xiucai is here for her.
Qiao Huaping had no choice but to stand up and caressed the hem of her skirt which was stained with dust from squatting there.
Although the old scholar Guo still looked a little weak, he was after all a man who had been through the gates of hell.
However, if you really want to talk about it, the old scholar Guo seems to be in good spirits right now, with a pair of slightly cloudy old eyes full of sparkle.
He looked up and down the Qiao Hua screen.
Qiao Huaping looked back at the old scholar Guo openly.
"Qiao's."
"The old scholar is good."
The old scholar Guo said slowly: "... Mr. Qiao before was so stupid that he didn't know anything about archery, let alone life-saving pills."
Qiao Huaping had long expected that others would notice something was wrong, but she was very calm and unhurried, and even the smile at the corner of her mouth did not change at all: "As the old scholar said, everyone is young, frivolous and ignorant sometimes.
"No, I fell down and hit my head earlier, but it was a blessing in disguise. I realized that I had done many wrong things in the past, so I changed my past, changed my mind, and became a good person.
"As for archery and medicine, oh, these are all trivial matters! In fact, I used to know those things, and I am very talented. It's just that I am naturally low-key and don't like to show off this kind of limelight in front of others.
"But then I thought, if I don't run away, I will lose my life, so how can I care about anything else."
Qiao Huaping talked nonsense casually, and the conversation was eloquent and smooth, without any stumble or guilt. The smile on his face was extremely sincere.
This magnanimous and calm attitude really frightened the old scholar Guo into a daze.
Perhaps the old scholar Guo never thought that there would be someone so shameless who would speak without blinking and lie without even taking a breath.
Old scholar Guo calmed down a little, opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and found that he had nothing to say.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Huaping looked at him with a smile on her face, her expression innocent, her eyes filled with the light of "I've said everything that really hurts my heart", her eyelashes blinked slightly, she was as innocent as a simple little white flower.
.
It seems that anyone who doubts her little white flower's words is the most outrageous person in the world.
Old scholar Guo's mind was filled with a line of bold and flashed characters——
I have never seen such a shameless person!!!
Old scholar Guo took a deep, deep breath.
He didn't want to just come back from the hell gate yesterday and be angered by a shameless person today!
Old scholar Guo tremblingly stretched out his hand towards his son, looking for support and letting himself lean on his son's arm.
He looked to the side at the child who was originally squatting there playing chess, but since he started talking to Qiao Huaping, he stood up very alertly and stood next to Qiao Huaping.
The little child stood beside his little stepmother with dependence.
Although she is still young, she still has some soft baby fat on her cheeks, and she looks like a child.
But as long as the old scholar Guo thinks about the scene he met by chance in the village earlier, where the little child sneered and quoted scriptures and silenced the older children who were a head taller than him, he couldn't help but have a few thoughts.
It was only when I saw them that I felt happy.
He came this time partly because of Qiao Huaping and partly because of Mei Qingyu.
The old scholar Guo had gone through hell, and he felt that he should find a successor as soon as possible.
He knew that the children and grandchildren in his family had good character and were willing to study hard, but after all, they were lacking in talent, otherwise the whole family would not have failed even a single childbirth examination.
Although we are fleeing from famine at the moment, as long as we escape the famine at the border, find a lush land, and take root in life, we will slowly return to our old days.
But the old scholar Guo knew very well that once he closed his eyes, let alone returning to his old days, the Guo family's downward spiral was probably set.
Last night, he suffered from a dangerous old disease caused by the heat. When he almost couldn't get through it, all he could think about was what would the Guo family do?
No, old scholar Guo's body had barely recovered, but a thought occupied his mind.
——You must hurry up and take the second son of the Mei family as your disciple.
This son is an extraordinary person. When he becomes successful and famous, I will take care of this teacher-student friendship and help the Guo family, which will be enough to ensure the prosperity of the Guo family.
"...Qingyu, come here." Old scholar Guo simply ignored Qiao Huaping and waved directly to the child next to Qiao Huaping.
The child pointed to himself: "You called me?"
Old scholar Guo tried his best to appear amiable: "Yes, I'm calling you. I intend to accept you as my disciple, preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were looking around looked at him with envy.
Although the old scholar Guo was not a self-respecting person, he never opened a private school in order to focus on cultivating his children.
If the children in Liujin Village want to be enlightened, they have to go to a school in another village halfway up the hill.
Now that the old scholar Guo has taken the initiative to accept Mei Qingyu as his disciple, how can he not make the villagers envious?
Qiao Huaping seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
She touched the furry head of the child next to her.
The child glanced at Mr. Guo Xiucai, and his eyes widened with a strange expression: "...But I am not Brother Yu, I am Qing Huang."
Old scholar Guo: "..."
I almost forgot, the second and third children of the Mei family are twins.
The old scholar Guo coughed, his face almost a little irritated.
"What do you want from me, old gentleman?" a child's voice said.
Only then did Mr. Guo realize that the little figure who had been facing away from them, wearing a taupe shorts, squatting on the ground and playing with something unknown, was the Mei Qingyu he was looking for.
