Chapter 121

Gu Jiao got up before dawn. After washing, she went to feed xiaojingkong's chicken.

Chickens are now growing into big ones, and occasionally they will sing. If no one gets up, they won't fight.

There is a small market nearby, which is different from the direction of Guozijian. It is also very fast.

Gu Jiao went to the market with a basket on her back.

"Steamed buns - fresh and delicious steamed buns -" a hawker called out.

Gu Jiao went over and asked him, "how much is a steamed bun?"

When the peddler saw the birthmark on her face, he didn't show any difference. He was worthy of being a native of Beijing.

The peddler said with a smile: "three Wen for big meat buns and two Wen for brown sugar buns! How many girls do you want

The steamed buns are very big, and one of them is almost enough. Gu Jiao takes out her food box from the basket: "eight meat buns, four sugar buns."

They eat meat and sugar.

Four also don't know if he can eat enough, the little guy's appetite is a bit amazing.

"Good! Thirty Wen in all! Here is a steamed bread for you The vendor packed Gu Jiao with steamed buns and steamed buns.

"Thank you very much." Gu Jiao paid, and then went to buy pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, followed by firewood.

Firewood in the capital is not cheap. A bundle of firewood costs ten coppers. According to the speed of their family's firewood, they can burn it for two to three days.

Gu Jiao asked for two bundles of firewood and asked how to sell charcoal.

The firewood vendor said, "do you want black charcoal or silver charcoal? Black charcoal is five Wen and one jin, silver charcoal is twenty Wen and one jin. "

"Silver charcoal is so expensive?"

The firewood vendor said with a smile: "silver charcoal is easy to use!"

This is a big truth. Black charcoal is not only resistant to burning, but also smoking. In contrast, silver charcoal is more resistant to burning, and there is no smoke.

Finally, Gu Jiao bought 100 Jin Silver Charcoal at the price of 17 Wen per Jin.

The peddler drove the mule cart and personally delivered firewood and silver charcoal to the door.

Xiao LIULANG has already got up and cleaned up the kitchen. Now he is cleaning the backyard. His action is very light and doesn't wake anyone.

"Good morning." Gu Jiao said hello.

"Good morning." Xiao LIULANG nodded.

Gu Jiao directly asked the peddler to move firewood and silver charcoal to the kitchen.

After the peddler left, Gu Jiao went over and took the broom from Xiao LIULANG: "I'll come, you go and tidy up the box."

On this trip to Beijing, Gu Jiao, the old lady, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun did not have much luggage. On the contrary, Xiao LIULANG and Xiao Jingkong were full of several large boxes. Xiao LIULANG's main work is books. Xiao LIULANG's main work is what he brought back from the temple. Of course, there are his seven chickens.

"Good." Xiao LIULANG turned and went to the study.

After a while, Gu Jiao gave him two steaming big meat buns: "you eat first, I'll make some millet porridge."

"Have you eaten yet?" Xiao LIULANG stops her.

"Not yet." Gu Jiao shook her head.

She wanted to say that I could eat porridge when I was cooking. Unexpectedly, Xiao LIULANG pushed the plate forward: "let's eat together."

Gu Jiao thought, "good."

They haven't had dinner alone for a long time since there were so many people in their family. The last time was at the inn in the town, but that was more than half a year ago.

They sat face to face, as if back to the original days.

Gu Jiao gave a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Asked Xiao LIULANG.

Gu Jiao holds the big meat bag in her hand: "smile, I told you to eat for the first time. Do you think I've been poisoned and dare not eat?"

"I'm not." Xiao LIULANG denied it.

Gu Jiao suddenly got close to him and stared at his handsome face: "now I'm not afraid to poison you?"

Do you trust me too much?

When Gu Jiao was complacent, he saw Xiao LIULANG look at the steamed stuffed bun in his hand. Then he took Gu Jiao's steamed bun and gave it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao

After breakfast, Xiao LIULANG is going to the Imperial College to report. Gu Jiao estimates that they are going to sleep until noon, so she sends Xiao LIULANG to the Imperial College.

The Imperial College officially opened in late October, and now there are more and more students coming to report, some from the capital, and some from other places like Xiao LIULANG.

All the expenses were paid by the imperial court, including the dormitory and meals, which were also allocated from the financial resources of the imperial court.

Xiao LIULANG today went to the academic affairs office to report and then he could go back. Of course, if he wanted to, he could still study in the Imperial College.

Guozijian has the largest library in Quanzhao, otherwise it would not be the holy land of all scholars.

Gu Jiao is waiting for him outside Guozi prison.

The traffic in front of her makes Gu Jiao feel very fresh.

It turns out that this is the capital city. If it is different from the county, the road is much wider. From time to time, several carriages pass by in parallel. Most of the girls on the road wear veils, but only a few of them show up like Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao is looking at it vigorously. Suddenly, the crowd rushes towards a place. Everyone stands on both sides of the street, peering toward one end of the street.

Gu Jiao stood not far from the street. She was pushed aside and her feet were trampled on.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! " The culprit rushed to apologize to Gu Jiao.

Is a scholar dressed up boy, regardless of appearance or deliberately low voice can judge each other is actually a girl.

She's pretty.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to The little scholar dressed as a man bows to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao didn't care.

She gave way back.

But the people behind didn't give her a chance to go out at all.

She was in the middle of the crowd, unable to advance or retreat.

The little scholar kept pushing forward, but she was too weak to get to the front row.

She gave up her resistance, wiped the sweat on her forehead and asked Gu Jiao, "girl, what's wrong with your face?"

Gu Jiao calm way: "birthmark."

"Ah..." the little scholar covered his mouth, "I thought it was rouge. Yes, yes, I'm sorry."

Gu Jiao didn't care about her unintentional offense.

However, she felt sorry for herself. She was embarrassed enough to bump into others, trample on them, and poke them in the pain when she said something wrong——

Alas!

She really doesn't offend people every day!

The little scholar looked at Gu Jiao and said, "girl, you are not from Beijing, are you? It doesn't sound like an accent. "

Gu Jiao: "well."

The little scholar said, "are you also here to see the crown princess?"

Gu Jiao strange way: "what imperial concubine?"

Little scholar apricot eyes round stare way: "crown princess? You have come here so early to wait. Don't you hear that the crown princess is coming back from praying for blessings and is going to pass by the gate of the Imperial College? "

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't know the princess. I don't look at her."

The little scholar gasped: "who, who came to see her because he knew her? Can people in cloth clothes like us know the princess? Don't you want to look at her from a distance because you hear about her and worship her? "

Gu Jiao said seriously, "I haven't heard of her, and I don't worship her."

"Are you from Zhaoguo? Have you ever heard of the princess? "

The little scholar's voice is so loud that people around him look at her one after another. All of them look at Gu Jiao with incredible eyes. Obviously, like the little scholar, it's strange that there is no one in the world who doesn't know the Crown Princess of Zhao?

While talking, someone in the crowd suddenly yelled: "here comes the princess - here comes the princess."

With his exchange, the crowd was in a fury.

One hundred guards came on horseshoes. They were like a huge formation. They surrounded the princess's carriage in the middle. The common people didn't even see the wheels of the carriage. The guards escorted the princess's guard of honor and disappeared in the street.

The crowd dispersed.

The little scholar looked at the back of the disappeared guard's iron horse and stamped his feet angrily: "Oh, I didn't look at it! Is it easy for me to come out? I got up so early

Leaving the crowd, Gu Jiao was relieved.

She's not used to being so close to strangers.

Seeing that Gu Jiao was not in the least annoyed and angry, the little scholar asked curiously, "are you really not here to see the crown princess?"

Gu Jiao light way: "I said I am not."

"Why?" the little scholar asked

Gu Jiao said, "I have said that, too."

"Have you never heard of her?" said the little scholar

Gu Jiao gave her a silent look.

The princess is the most adored person in the eyes of the little scholar. She will never allow anyone in the world to have never heard of her!

"Do you know who the crown princess is? She is the most outstanding woman in Quan Zhaoguo. No man in the world does not like her, and no woman does not envy her. Do you know Zhuang Xianzhi, the great talent of the banker? She used to be the princess's teacher. Do you know who she went to school with? Young Marquis of zhaodu! "

Gu Jiao looked at her calmly.

The little scholar blew his hair: "isn't it? Don't tell me you don't know who the young Marquis of zhaodu is! Little Marquis! Young people's sacrifice wine

Gu Jiao thought, "Oh, I've heard that."

It's a long time ago. Xianggong of Xiao Qin got a painting from somewhere. He said it was the master's ink, but Xiao LIULANG said it wasn't.

This was the only time she had heard of the young Marquis of zhaodu before.

The little scholar slapped himself on the forehead: "my God, my God, did you jump out of the crack in the stone? How can you not know the prince and the princess? One is the first gifted youth of Zhao state, the other is the first gifted girl of Zhao state. After the death of the young Marquis, the Crown Princess kept the festival for him for three years. This year, she accepted his Majesty's offer to marry the crown prince. Have you never heard of such a legendary story? "
