Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

The eyes of the man holding the child were hot, and he knelt down to Gu Yunji on the spot, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! Your great kindness, I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

Gu Yunji quickly helped him up: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, it's important to take the child to see a doctor first."

Perhaps seeing that the officers and soldiers made an exception, the refugees in the distance gathered around to intercede with Gu Yunji. They all described their movements as sluggish and stiff, stretching out their hands and murmuring unconsciously, with a voice like a ghost: "Young master, please do me a favor. My son, please do me good." Good job, young master, good job..."

The officers and soldiers at the gate of the city reacted quickly, and all of a sudden they drew out their weapons, lined up in front of the refugees, and shouted: "Stand back! Back off!"

The refugees were so frightened that they retreated several steps in a row. Seeing that there was no hope of entering the city, they scattered again.

Looking at these refugees who looked like walking corpses, Gu Yunji felt extremely uncomfortable.Cheng Yan sighed helplessly, and said: "You saved one or two, can you save tens of thousands outside this city? Yunji, you don't need to do anything unnecessary today."

"I'm not very capable, saving one is one." Gu Yunji tightened his hands by his side, his eyes were full of sadness, "I can't just watch this child die of illness like this, I can't do it."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, sorted out his emotions, and stuffed a few silver coins into the man's arms: "Here, this money is for you, take the child to see a doctor."

"Thank you son!" the man said, and was about to kneel down for Gu Yunji, but he stopped him.

Gu Yunji wanted to leave just like this, but when he saw the man with a dazed look on his face after entering the city, he felt a little worried, so he simply helped people to the end: "Forget it, you are not familiar with Hangzhou Fucheng, I will take you there Find a doctor."

The man had no reason to refuse. After thanking him a thousand times, he followed Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan to the pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, after the doctor took the pulse and took the medicine in an orderly manner, he said: "Decoct this medicine in the morning and evening, and drink it for seven days. It should be almost enough. Although the wind and cold are not a serious problem, children are weak. The nurses here need to be more considerate."

Gu Yunji hesitated and said: "Doctor, is there a quicker way? Decoction... It's not convenient for them to cook."

Hearing this, the doctor glanced at the father and daughter dressed as refugees behind him, and sighed, "Okay, then I will replace it with pills, and take one each morning, noon, and evening. Be on the safe side, how about this, you stay in my pharmacy for a while, I will go to make a medicine first, let the child drink it before leaving."

Gu Yunji was overjoyed: "Thank you, doctor!"

While waiting for the decoction, several people were silent.Suddenly, the man seemed to have remembered something, raised his head and asked: "Have you not asked the benefactor's name? If there is a chance in the future, I will repay the great kindness of the two of you as a cow!"

Gu Yunji laughed lightly, didn't take this to heart, and replied casually: "My name is Gu Yunji, and his name is Cheng Yan. You don't need to repay anything, you just need to live a good life with your daughter."

As he spoke, he looked up at the man: "What about you? What's your name? Where do you come from? Where are your other family members?"

"The younger one is Liu Dazhuang, and my daughter is Liu Yaya. We are from Baoding Mansion. Apart from us, there are my wife, old mother, and a 13-year-old son at home, but..." The man's expression darkened. The voice was a little choked, "But they all starved to death on the way."

Gu Yunji's expression froze, and he said embarrassingly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Liu Dazhuang's eye circles were red, he touched a few tears indiscriminately, and pulled the corners of his lips to force out a smile: "It's okay, at least I still have Yaya, and I still have a home."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan felt sore in their hearts and fell silent.

After a while, the medicine was ready.After Liu Yaya drank the medicine, the fever subsided quickly, and her face finally had a normal rosy color.Seeing this, Liu Dazhuang gently stroked his daughter's head and heaved a sigh of relief.

The worry on Gu Yunji's brows remained undiminished, and he asked, "What are your plans now? Find a job in the city?"

Liu Dazhuang smiled wryly for a moment: "I want to take my daughter back outside the city."

Cheng Yan frowned, a little confused: "Go back outside the city? Why do you want to go back after you finally came to the city? Find something to do in the city and settle down here, isn't it good?"

Liu Dazhuang said: "I'm a foreigner, and people can recognize my accent as soon as they hear it. No one is willing to hire me. What's more, I don't know when I'm dressed. I will be regarded as a refugee who sneaked into the city by the officers and soldiers." If you are arrested, you might as well go back outside the city and stay with your fellow countrymen to be safer."

He glanced at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, and his tone was distressing and cautious: "I was guaranteed by the two young masters when I entered the city. It's nothing if I was arrested. I'm afraid that a mistake will implicate the two benefactors." , that is the real crime worthy of death."

Gu Yunji's heart was complicated, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. In the end, he could only turn his head to hold back his tears, and said awkwardly: "Then... then you should be careful in everything."

After saying goodbye, Liu Dazhuang solemnly and slowly bowed to the two, and then left with his daughter in his arms.

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stood in place, watching Liu Dazhuang's receding back, and did not speak for a long time.It wasn't until the figures of the two were completely out of sight that Cheng Yan gently said to Gu Yunji, "Yunji, let's go, let's go back to the academy."

Gu Yunji didn't respond, as if he was still in a trance.Cheng Yan didn't rush, just quietly accompanied him.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Yan felt his clothes being pulled violently, and a cold voice came from beside his ears: "Go, go to the Hangzhou government office!"

The ink in Gu Yunji's eyes welled up, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed. He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "I want to ask Lu Xianzhi how he sleeps so soundly these days!"

A moment later, outside the government office of Hangzhou.

With a cold face, Gu Yunji said to the guard at the door: "Gu Yunji, a student of Luxi Academy, please see the magistrate, please inform me."

At the entertainment fair before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Gu Yunji stole the limelight in the competition with Ren Yingze, and it was spread all over the city of Hangzhou for a while, but everyone who can read and write knows his glorious deeds.

The guard also followed Lu Xianzhi to the funfair at the time, so he had heard about Gu Yunji, so he didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, and said nicely, "Young Master Gu, the magistrate is not here, please come back another day."

Gu Yunji was in a fit of anger at the moment, and only thought it was an excuse for the guards. Hearing this, the momentum around him suddenly sank, and his eyes were burning like fire: "Not here? Thousands of refugees outside are so hungry that they are eating bark and grass roots. Mr. Lu, who sits in the government office, is not here? I'm afraid you are not coaxing me!"

The guard shrank from his fright, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Young Master Gu, how dare you lie to me? The magistrate is really not here. He leaves early and returns late these days, and I don't know where he went."

Cheng Yan was afraid that Gu Yunji would go too far, so he quickly comforted him: "He is just a guard, don't make things difficult for him. It seems that Mr. Lu is really not here. Let's go back first and ask Xu Shanzhang for his opinion."

"What can you do now that you see Lord Lu? Scold him face to face, or ask him why he didn't resettle the refugees? Does that make any sense? I'm afraid that if he accidentally offends him, he might even involve you in it."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and tried to calm himself down.

After a while, he closed his eyes tiredly, and said to Cheng Yan weakly: "Let's go back to the academy."
