Chapter 34

With the silver, Gu Jiao thought about what to do.

The next day, when Xiao LIULANG came back from school, the family of three sat in the main room to eat.

In fact, there is no relationship between them, but there is some strange harmony.

The old lady gnawed a big chicken leg, glanced at Gu Jiao and said, "if you have a word, just say it!"

Gu Jiao: the old lady has good eyesight. How can you tell she has something to say?

"I want to buy mountains." Gu Jiao said.

"Winter or autumn?" The old lady gave Gu Jiao a small silent look, as if complaining about this little thing is also worth grinding haw.

"I'm not talking about clothes. I'm talking about mountains, the mountain behind our village." Gu Jiao always picks fungus and fungus on the mountain. She finds that there are many good things there. If she buys them, she will be able to pick mountain goods, collect medicine, cut trees and hunt... In a word, all the hillsides are valuable and will never lose money.

"Buy it!"

Surprisingly, the old lady didn't hesitate at all. She was really impeccable and generous in spending money.

If you change this into the original owner's own milk Wu, I'm afraid you'll jump up and scold Gu Jiao: "little bereaved star, black sheep, you also buy the mountain. The silver is generously scraped!"

In the eyes of most villagers, mountains are worthless. At most, they can cut some firewood and pick some wild vegetables. Although there are also mountain goods and prey, no one will buy the whole mountain for these things.

Gu Jiao is both knowledgeable and capable of dealing with any danger in the deep mountains, so the top of the mountain will be a huge cornucopia in her hands.

She used to make up her own mind about this kind of thing. Xiao LIULANG never interfered in any of her decisions. However, since the old lady came, their mode of getting along seems to have changed imperceptibly.

"Are you talking about the mountain that goes up from the back of Uncle Luo's house?" Asked Xiao LIULANG.

"Well." Gu Jiao nodded.

Qingquan village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. What she sees is the top of the mountain in the middle. It is also the top of the mountain that people in the village often go to. Uncle Luo's house is at the foot of the mountain.

"Well, I'll ask Lizheng later." Xiao LIULANG didn't hesitate.

Gu Jiao grabs her little head. It's her grandfather in it. It's OK for her to ask. She doesn't say it to keep him busy.

After dinner, Xiao LIULANG went to Gu's old house.

Zhou and Liu were beaten 30 times by the Yamen. These days, they all lie down in the house to heal their wounds. The house is quite clean.

"Brother in law! Why are you here? " It's Gu Xiaoshun who opens the door.

"I'm looking for Lizheng." Xiao LIULANG said.

Although he and Gu Jiao became close, he always called him Li Zheng.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun was only surprised that his brother-in-law would come, but he was not surprised by his brother-in-law's address. After all, the family forced his brother-in-law to get married first, and squeezed his brother-in-law's hard-earned money later. Every stroke was a debt.

"My Lord, my brother-in-law is here!" Gu Xiaoshun leads Xiao LIULANG to Gu's house.

Mr. Gu accidentally glanced at Xiao LIULANG. If he remembered correctly, it was the first time that Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiaoda had come to the old house after their marriage.

"It's so late. What's the matter?" Mr. Gu asked.

Xiao LIULANG said, "let me ask Lizheng how to sell the mountain behind uncle Luo's house."

"Why do you ask? Does anyone in your college want to buy mountains? " Mr. Gu would never have expected that his granddaughter would buy the mountain. "That mountain costs a lot of money... Besides, it's not something anyone wants to buy. The mountain is not under the control of our village or the county government. It's the land of the temple. "

"Temple?" Xiao LIULANG frowned slightly. He didn't know there was a temple here.

Mr. Gu said: "yes, it's the temple. You haven't been here long, maybe you haven't been there. On the other side of the mountain, you can walk around the foot of the mountain in about an hour. If the people of your academy want to buy mountains, they have to go to the temple to talk to the abbot. "

When he thought of something, Mr. Gu said, "well, the concubine was born in that temple."

After Xiao LIULANG came home, Gu Jiao met him and asked him, "what's up? What does the Gu family say? "

Xiao LIULANG relayed Mr. Gu's original words.

"It's the land in the temple..." the original owner has never been to the temple. No, according to Gu Laozi, she was born in the temple, so she has been there. "Didn't you say how much silver it would cost?"

"I didn't say, but maybe one hundred Liang is not enough." Xiao LIULANG said.

"Oh, I have more." Gu Jiao said, took out a silver naked son from pocket to put on the table.

The old lady stopped when she was eating melon seeds.

But it's not over yet. Gu Jiao grabs one more, one more, one more.

The old lady and Xiao LIULANG were stunned at the same time. There are at least two or three hundred taels of silver naked children. Where did she get them?

Xiao LIULANG calmed down and asked, "are you the one who earns everything by selling mountain goods?"

"Well!" Gu Jiao efforts to open eyes, a face of sincerity, "is not a fight to hit Da!"

Xiao LIULANG

--

In ancient times, there were not many holidays for studying, except ten days' holiday every ten days, farmland holiday during busy farming, and clothing leave in September, which only included annual leave from December to January.

In the past, the annual leave was in the first ten days of December, but it was delayed to the last ten days of this year. Because of the fast release of annual leave, there will be no ten day leave in the next half month.

Gu Jiao didn't want Xiao LIULANG to ask for leave from the Academy for this, so she decided to go to the temple by herself.

Taking into account the lessons learned last time, Gu Jiao didn't leave the food in the pot, but found Xue Ningxiang and asked her to take care of the old lady.

"Your aunt..."

"Her illness is not serious. It's not contagious."

"Ah, that's not what I mean."

How can Gu Jiao not know about Xue Ningxiang's help in telling her a lie? Naturally, she also guessed what Xue Ningxiang had guessed, but Xue didn't report her and didn't alienate her.

Xue Ningxiang didn't ask Gu Jiao how to cure leprosy. She just believed Gu Jiao: "don't worry, I will take good care of your aunt."
