Chapter 73
People were thinking but the movement around them did not escape from Guxi's ears. From the corner of their eyes, they glanced at the figure behind the viewing tree in front of them, and a glimmer of light flashed across her eyes. She recognized that the hem of the clothes exposed behind the tree was coming in with her. It was the same person who peeked at her from time to time, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved. I didn't expect that she would dare to come!

Gu Xi pretended not to know and walked towards the door calmly. Just when she was about to step on the steps to go out, the figure couldn't help but trot past behind the tree!

"Girl...Girl, please wait!"

Gu Xi didn't walk fast, and even slowed down to let the other party keep up, but it still made the little girl run easily, and after she came up, she took a few breaths and said, "Our wife wants to see you!"

Gu Xi stopped at the sound and looked back, ma'am?Which lady?
But since they're all here, I don't mind turning a corner, otherwise how can I be worthy of that 'Madam' bothering to let people watch her?

"Lead the way!" She said lightly, the servant girl nodded, then turned and walked towards the path where she came.

This is the women's inner courtyard of Xie Mansion, right?

Following the servant girl all the way, Gu Xi already had a rough guess in her heart. In the past few times, the most frequent people who came to her with another identity were Xie Shaolin's study and his room, but there was a way to go out obliquely. Someone deliberately explained to her that the other side is where the female family members live in the mansion, and they want the Xie family's heirs to be separated!

Now she is walking on the same road as she once saw, and she has even seen the figure of the person who is looking for her!
"Ma'am, the girl is here!"

Right in front was an octagonal pavilion, and inside stood a luxuriously dressed woman with her back facing the two. The maid stepped forward to report and saw the woman raising her hand gracefully. Come here, as if there is some beautiful scenery in front of her that makes her reluctant to turn around!
Gu Xi could almost see through the other party's intentions at a glance, obviously trying to put her aside on purpose!But how could Guxi be someone who can be manipulated by others, she simply said first, "Madam took great pains to get the servant girl to pay attention to my whereabouts, didn't she come to me for something?"

Mrs. Xie didn't expect Gu Xi to speak first, and she didn't seem to be afraid of her at all, so she couldn't help being a little displeased. Then she turned around and looked at Gu Xi, her eyes were very critical, "Are you the girl Shaoge likes?"

Gu Xi just smiled, "I shouldn't be the one to ask about this!"

Gu Xi's indifference is arrogant in Madam Xie's eyes. She frowned and looked at Gu Xi with disgust, "After all, she is a girl raised by a poor family. How can she be compared with the daughters my Madam chose? I don't know if Shaoge is Why am I fascinated by you!"

Gu Xi began to put away his smile, this old woman is really annoying!

"But Shaolin listened to me as a mother and married the girl I chose, and Shaoge is not surprised. If you are interested..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in the old lady's chatter! If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. I hope I won't find someone to follow me next time, or don't blame me for letting them come and go!" Gu Xi interrupted impatiently. She looked at Mrs. Xie provocatively at the other party's words, and the contempt was obvious in her eyes!
But he didn't know that Mrs. Xie was already burning with anger when she heard her say 'old woman', her eyes seemed to want to stare at Gu Xi, and she no longer had the slightest leisurely look just now!

But Gu Xi didn't give her a chance to get angry, and left indifferently under Mrs. Xie's glaring eyes and the adoring eyes of the little maid beside her!

Mrs. Xie's chest was heaving in a big arc. She was well protected by Xie Shaolin. It was the first time in these years that someone dared to talk to her like this. She was already so angry that her blood boiled. Oh, I'm so mad!

Gu Xi didn't know that Mrs. Xie lost her temper wantonly in Xie's mansion because of her words, she threw things, scolded people, knocked down people and fell down, and finally alarmed Xie Shaolin. He thought that his son would help him when he was bullied, but Xie Shaolin just persuaded him lightly. She calmed down and didn't say anything about teaching that woman a lesson!
In the end, he was so angry that he locked himself in the room, and would not open the door even if anyone knocked on it. Sometimes he wanted to go on a hunger strike to protest, but it was surprising that Xie Shaolin did not just Xie Mrs. this time, but instead asked all the servants to retreat, saying, Madame needs time to be quiet...

Tang Qingfeng walked back and forth at the gate of Gu's house several times, looking up from time to time to look at the road ahead and waiting for Gu Xi to come back, but after walking around for a long time, no one saw him, but he was tired from walking, and was about to sit on the threshold to rest, Gu Xi is back!

It turned out that Gu Xi asked Tang Qingfeng to heal the old man who had woken up, but when he asked him why he was looking for Gu Xi, he hesitated and refused to say more, only saying that he was entrusted by someone to see Gu Xi to answer in person, so Tang Qingfeng was curious!
To be precise, Tang Qing is curious about any gossip about Guxi. Who made him, a master, have too many secrets and so mysterious!

So seeing Gu Xi came back, she didn't need to ask Tang Qingfeng to tell what happened before and after, but to his disappointment, Gu Xi just gave a word, "Oh!"

Poor Tang Qingfeng looked at his master's calm expression messily, and expressed curiosity, could someone die?
The old man in the room was standing in front of the window thinking about something, then he heard the footsteps coming from the door and turned his head just in time to see Gu Xi coming in, he became emotional in an instant, as if he had found his lost relative and daughter, let Gu Xi It's rare to have a trace of curiosity!
"You stay at the door!" Turning his head to look at Tang Qingfeng who just took a step forward to follow in, Gu Xi closed the door smoothly, and his movements were fast and swift, so Tang Qingfeng reacted quickly and exited the room in time, so as to avoid kissing the nose with the door !
Looking at the closed door sadly, because the room is not small, if the two people inside deliberately lower their voices, the people outside will not be able to hear it!The master is really stingy, there is a lot of complaints outside the door!
The old man in the room watched Gu Xi for a cup of tea before calming down his excitement, and then began to look at Gu Xi, but it was just a simple look, not annoying!

It's just that the more I look at the other party, the more I feel that the girl in front of me is not simple, and the trace of worry that I had was gone in an instant!

"Miss, do you still remember an old man who was rescued near the pharmaceutical factory in Zhenkou three years ago?" Before Gu Xi could ask, the old man pursed his lips and asked this sentence.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, let alone what he said, she really remembered this incident, remembering that the other party gave it to her at that time...

"Did the old man give you a wooden sign at that time, probably... the size of a baby's fist!" The old man's words had already confirmed Gu Xi's guess, and she couldn't help but look at him, "I remember this! Here, do you want to give it to you now?"

Gu Xi made a gesture and was about to dig into his pocket, but the old man waved his hands again and again, "Girl, don't get me wrong, I won't take that thing back! I came here because of a request from the old man you saved back then. The medical practice order was given to you just to wait for this day, to tell you the truth, the dean went there a month and a half ago!"

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes showed sorrow, obviously he had a good relationship with the old man, and he was very sad that the other party passed away!
But Gu Xi was a little confused. At this time, she had already taken out the small wooden sign, because it was placed in the space at the beginning. It has not changed a little in three years, but the color is more pure. She remembered what the other party said just now, What is this thing called a medical order?

When the old man saw the wooden sign in Gu Xi's hand, he was even more convinced that he had found the wrong person. Thinking that he had been looking for a whole month, not to mention that a lot of old bones were about to fall apart, he simply completed the dean's explanation, and he almost subconsciously He breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't realize at all that the person standing across from Dao didn't understand what he was here for at all!

Gu Xi looked back and forth at the wooden sign in her hand several times and found nothing special. She guessed that it represented a different meaning. Since what the other party said was so important, she couldn't put it in her hands and waste it in vain, so she reached out and handed it to her. over!

"Girl, this is..."

"I didn't agree to accept it at first, but the person you mentioned begged me to accept it, so I agreed to keep it for him. Now that I see you, I can return it to the original owner!" She stretched out her hand and took a step forward, but the other party I don't want to accept it anyway!
She couldn't help wondering, "Isn't this thing very important?"

The old man looked at her with complicated eyes, "Didn't the dean tell you what it does? Since you have accepted it, you should keep it well. We cannot accept this thing, because you are the one who owns it." The next master!"

Gu Xi's frown was so frowned that it could almost kill a fly. Although she didn't know what the wooden sign was for, it sounded like she had some responsibility. This completely violated her principle of not getting close to trouble!

Seeing that Gu Xi seemed to be genuinely unaware, the other party suddenly believed that the origin of the wooden sign was not true as she said, and did not expect that the dean would hand over the wooden sign to this girl so casually without even telling others the intention. It means strong buying and strong selling, but he has to stand on the other side!
"Actually, this is the sign of the dean of Wenyu Pharmaceutical Administration. The former dean was looking for a successor he liked and passed on the order to practice medicine. When he retired, the new dean took over with a wooden sign. At the beginning, the dean never said anything. Who was chosen? We all thought it was some of his disciples in the college. It wasn't until the dean called me to my side and asked me to do something before I died that I knew that the dean had already chosen someone. You are no longer in the Imperial Capital, so I hope that I will greet you in person, girl, you should also understand that the person the dean asked me to pick up is you!"

"So you came here with a portrait of me three years ago?" Gu Xi felt a little different after hearing the story on the wooden sign. After all, being favored by others is something to be happy about, but what medicine Prison is another matter, she never thought of being a dean in the past!
"When the dean said he didn't know your last name, I thought he was joking, but now I seem to understand what you said just now. The dean simply remembered this town, otherwise I would really be looking for a needle in a haystack!  … However, since he is the person chosen by the headmaster, the old man will naturally follow the headmaster's choice, and I hope that the girl can go to the imperial capital with me!"

"What if I don't become the dean?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, he probably didn't expect Gu Xi to say that, and then he said, "The dean has put a lot of effort in Wenyu Yaojian, watching the Yaojian showing his head in the imperial capital day by day, injecting a lot of hope into it , Now that he has gone, he must think that the girl is capable of inheriting his wishes, so he left with confidence, I hope the girl can reconsider!"

Gu Xi couldn't help but look at the old man with a tired face, and said in a cold voice, "But you also know that I didn't even know there was such a drug prison before you came, why do you think I will help a stranger fulfill his wish ? Or are you sure I have this ability?"

The old man suddenly fell silent. He understood that what Gu Xi said was the truth. Even if this matter fell on him, he would not agree casually. The title of dean sounds good, but it is indeed a hard job. His medical skills... The dean didn't explain this before he died. He had doubts when he saw Gu Xi just now, but he didn't dare to doubt because of his trust in the dean!
Now that Gu Xi took the initiative to ask him, he suddenly didn't know how to answer it!
"Instead of letting me, a junior who doesn't know the basics, be the dean, why don't you take back the sign and become the dean yourself or choose another one!" As if knowing the old man's thoughts, Gu Xi smiled faintly, and the sign in her hand was taken away by her. With two fingers sandwiched in between, the slightly lazy expression at the moment not only does not give a relaxed feeling to the individual, but also makes people feel very mysterious.

She leisurely watched the change of the old man's face, hesitated to worry and said firmly, and then the other party looked at him firmly and said, "It's the same sentence, I believe in the dean's vision!"

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, she lightly threw the wooden sign between her two fingers into her palm, and rubbed her fingertips lightly, just when the other party was almost unable to maintain the firmness on her face, she suddenly withdrew her hand, "I'll give you the answer tomorrow!"
