Chapter 214： Send an umbrella

Chapter 214 Giving Umbrellas

Gu Zhao didn’t feel uncomfortable for long.

Because the old doctor urged him to take up his post and arranged his work in the shortest possible time, copying books in the morning, identifying medicinal materials in the afternoon, and serving bugs the rest of the time.

After careful calculation, Gu Zhao didn't even have a moment of neutrality.

Gu Zhao, with his small face, was stared at and copied by the old doctor in front of his family.

The others stayed with him for a while, then got up and left after counting that the time was almost up.

Before leaving, Shen Changfeng glanced at the medicinal herbs drying in the yard and said, "Old man Yan, it's going to rain soon. Do you still want the medicinal herbs?"

The old doctor also knew that Shen Changfeng was good at observing the weather. Just as he was about to get up and run out, he suddenly turned back, slipped Gu Zhaoti up and said, "Come here and help."

The Gu family wanted to come together to help, but the old doctor blocked him and said, "Let the child do it. He should be familiar with various medicinal materials as soon as possible."

The Gu family listened to the advice.

The old man lives alone in Baiyun Town. On weekdays, only an elderly woman comes to help with cooking and cleaning. Gu Zhao doesn't have much work to do.

The group returned to the outside of Baiyun Academy and continued waiting.

"Without Gu Zhao, my ears suddenly became quiet. I feel a little uncomfortable." Zhang Yuniang whispered to her husband.

Every time I take my little son out, he feels like he has a stomach like a bottomless pit. Anyway, whatever he encounters on the street is basically what he likes to eat. He doesn’t make a fuss, he just keeps pestering him. want.

Gu Mingda comforted him: "Looking on the bright side, the children will be separated sooner or later, so let's treat it as early as possible."

Zhang Yunniang lowered her head and glanced at Niu Niu. It was okay that her sons were away from home. There was no need to worry about their suffering. However, if her daughter got married and left home in the future, she would not be at ease. She was always afraid that her children would be bullied by her husband's family.

When pedestrians held up umbrellas, Gu Yan came out of Baiyun Academy.

Non-candidates are not allowed to enter, and most of the candidates do not bring umbrellas.

Gu Yan held an umbrella and sent a young man of about the same age to his family. Then he and the Gu family took several umbrellas and went back, bringing out the other children as well.

"Run slowly, don't get caught in the rain." Zhang Yunniang reminded.

Gu Yan responded and rushed into the rain again until he took out all the children. The corners of his clothes were also soaked.

Zhang Yunniang looked at him distressedly and said: "You are required to run around everywhere. The academy cannot watch so many people getting wet in the rain. We will have to arrange for someone to pick them up and drop them off later."

Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I think they were anxious and didn't think much about it."

The Gu family did not ask Gu Yan how he did in the exam, but he took the initiative and said: "I tried my best to answer the exam. If I didn't pass, it's because my skills are not as good as others, so I have nothing to regret."

Gu Yan is now relatively relaxed, and his family members are relieved to see him like this.

"Don't think about these things anymore. First drink a bowl of hot soup to ward off the cold." Zhang Yunniang brought a bowl of hot soup to her son.

The place they were staying at now was a restaurant outside Baiyun Academy. Since they got a seat early, most of the dishes they ordered were served, so that Gu Yan could eat ready-made.

After Gu Yan took the soup bowl, he didn't drink it immediately. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Where's A Zhao?"

After learning that his younger brother had become a disciple, Gu Yan was also very happy for him.

"If you pass the exam this time, you and your brother will be able to take care of you in Baiyun Town in the future. Doctor Yan's grandson is about the same age as you, and it is said that he is also studying in the academy." Zhang Yunniang said with a smile.

Gu Yan was actually very sure about passing the exam, but he was always modest and didn't talk too much. "Tonight, the whole family will go to the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner, and Changfeng will not be absent. This is to celebrate Ayan's exam." Gu Mingda said.

The Zhuangyuan Building is a restaurant as famous as the Zuixian Building in Beijing. Gu Mingda booked a private room in advance.

When Shen Changfeng heard Gu Mingda call his name specifically, he felt a sense of joy that became a member of his own family, and said, "Okay, then I'll go home and rest after dinner."

He was really afraid of Gu Zhao's room, maybe there were some poisonous insects that hadn't been cleaned out.

Gu Yan frowned slightly and reminded: "Dad, the exam results will not be released until three days later, and I may not be able to get into Baiyun Academy."

Gu Mingda said: "This is not to celebrate that you passed the exam, but to celebrate that you finally broke through the shackles and took your first exam."

Gu Yan was slightly startled.

He saw his father fail many times and became afraid of exams, but he didn't expect that his father was always watching but did not force him.

Gu Mingda patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Having the courage to take that step is already very impressive. Success and failure are all human nature."

Gu Yan nodded vigorously, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, father, my son has taken note of it."

Niuniu waited patiently for them to finish, and then asked with a troubled face: "We are having dinner at Zhuangyuan Building tonight, won't Third Brother go?"

The little girl still kept Gu Zhao's instructions firmly in mind, and she was always thinking about anything delicious.

After Shen Changfeng heard this, Dr. Yan forced Gu Zhao to stay today. Gu Mingda would probably not bring him back to the capital, but unexpectedly, Gu Mingda said:

"We will wait in Baiyun Town until the evening and then return. Then we will take him back with us. We will only have to suffer for him if we send him back early tomorrow morning."

Gu Mingda spoke lightly of the torment he felt towards his own son.

Shen Changfeng didn't realize how hard it was for Gu Zhao to come and go. He just felt very touched. The Gu family really valued family reunion!

After lunch, the rain outside stopped.

"I asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant. There is a peach blossom forest to the south. There is a Baiyun Temple behind the peach blossom forest. You can go there to have some fun." Gu Mingda suggested.

Everyone left the restaurant and didn't notice at all that two old gentlemen in long gowns were staring at Gu Yan, who was holding his sister's hand on the street, near the window on the second floor.

"I have an umbrella, and I don't forget to take care of others. I'm a child with a good heart." The long-faced old man praised.

The round-faced old man heard this and said, "Do you like this kid? This kid is here to take the exam in our academy. If you agree to stay, I will make the decision and give it to you."

The long-faced old man had not yet made up his mind whether to stay in the academy to give lectures or return to his hometown. Hearing this, he said, "Just because you have a good temperament does not necessarily mean you have good qualifications."

The round-faced old man said: "Then just wait. If he passes the exam, you can stay. How about that?"

The long-faced old gentleman hesitated.

The round-faced old man rolled his eyes, held his hand and said, "Come on, come on, don't hang on a tree. You've been idle these days, why don't we mark the papers together and see if there are any There are no good seeds.”

The long-faced old man really liked Gu Yan. When he heard this, he said, "I'll get involved in your academy exams."

But his steps were light and he was pulled into the academy by his old friend.
