Gu Jiu wanted to copy the scriptures for his dead mother, so he thanked the guests behind closed doors.

Gu Zhen and Gu Lin came two times in a row, and both ate behind closed doors.

"My eldest girl, the fifth girl, please forgive me. My girl said, now she has to concentrate on copying the scriptures. When she comes back from Tianmen Temple at the end of the month, she will invite the eldest girl and the fifth girl to come and have tea."

Qiaomei bowed slightly and said neither humble nor arrogant.

Gu Lin frowned, "Second elder sister is in good health, so she must be busy copying the scriptures, how can this be achieved."

"Thank you five girls for your concern. My girl can hold her body after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Chen."

Gu Lin said again: "Second sister should take good care of her body. You let me in and talk to her in person."

Qingmei blocked the door, "My girl's kindness is appreciated by the fifth girl. However, it is inconvenient for my girl to meet guests, so please come back."

Gu Lin was dissatisfied, but she had nothing to do with Qingmei.

Gu Zhen asked: "I heard that the second sister will go to Tianmen Temple with the third brother on the fifteenth of this month, and burn the scriptures copied by herself to the wife in front of the Buddha."

Ome bowed and nodded, "Exactly."

"The second sister is very filial, I don't know how we can help."

Qingmei said, "My girl's kindness is appreciated by the big girl."

Gu Zhen smiled, "It seems that I can't see my second sister today. That's all, the second sister has to concentrate on copying the scriptures, it is not convenient for us to disturb. Fifth sister, let's go. Come and visit the second sister another day."

Gu Lin hesitated and nodded, "I listen to my big sister."

The two left together, and after walking to the garden, they separated again.

Gu Zhen went to see Gu Shan.

Gu Lin went to see her biological mother Aunt Bai.

"Auntie, the second elder sister refuses to see me."

"Did you say something wrong before and upset your second sister."

Aunt Bai is gentle and gentle, it is easy for people to give birth to a good impression.

Gu Lin shook her head, "My daughter never said anything wrong. I don't know why the second sister refused to see me."

Aunt Bai frowned and thought deeply, "Perhaps just like Qingmei's maid said, the second girl is busy copying the scriptures, she needs to be wholehearted and sincere, so she can't be disturbed."

Is that right?

Aunt Bai held Gu Lin's hand, "You go and do the needlework, I'll see your wife."

Gu Lin was puzzled.

Aunt Bai said again: "I have to buy a table of wine and food, and serve the master to drink at night."

"Will father come over tonight?"

Gu Lin looked surprised.

Aunt Bai smiled and said, "My wife is concerned about the second girl's situation, so I'll go chat for a few words to share worries for my wife. My wife is happy, and the master will come by himself."

Gu Lin seemed to understand but not.

Aunt Bai didn't explain, she got up and took the maid out of the courtyard.

...

Zhilan Academy.

Gu Jiu had changed the maid's clothes and was about to go out.

She asked Qingmei, "Have everyone been sent away?"

Ome nodded, "I've been sent away. Does the girl have to go out?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry. There will be elder brother and cousin Su, so there will be no accident. Qingzhu, you will stay in the house for me, is there a problem?"

Qing Zhu had changed into Gu Jiu's clothes, and looked uneasy.

When Gu Jiu left, she would pretend to be Gu Jiu and lay on the bed.

"Girl, is this really okay? What if someone finds out."

Gu Jiu calmed her, "Don't be afraid. Do what I told you, and you won't be discovered. I will go out with Qingmei, and we will definitely be back within two hours."

Qing Zhu nodded nervously, "The girl must be back soon!"

Gu Jiu followed Qingmei and quietly left Zhilan Academy.

Focusing on the remote and unmanned trails, he left the Cishi Mansion through the back door.

At the door, there was a bullock cart parked.

Gu Jiu boarded the bullock cart directly.

Gu Ling and Su Zheng were already waiting in the car.

"Sister, you finally came. I was worried about whether you were in trouble and could not leave the house."

Gu Jiu said, "Big sister and fifth sister came to visit me. It took a while to get them off. Let's go now."

Gu Ling nodded.

Li Chuan waved his whip, "Drive!"

"Moo"

The old cow yelled to the sky, ran, and pulled the ox cart toward the south of the city.

The bullock cart is very stable, but it is slow.

There is no way.

Five years ago, the imperial court was set up at the Qingping Racecourse in the northwest. It was poisoned by the Xiliang and Beirong coalition forces at the water source.

The hundreds of thousands of excellent breeds of horses in the racecourse suffered all the casualties overnight.

Since then, there has been a serious shortage of horses from the imperial court to the people in Dazhou.

Taipu Temple in charge of Qingping Racecourse, from top to bottom, more than a hundred officials, beheaded, beheaded, exiled.

Due to the Qingping Racecourse accident, the cavalry strength was greatly damaged, and the Dazhou army had to switch from offensive to defensive and enter a passive defense state.

In order to remedy the situation, the court introduced a series of policies, collectively referred to as Ma Zheng.

Two of the most critical horse governance:

First, it is not allowed to buy and sell horses privately. All horse sales must go through the horse market under the imperial court. If there is an offender, it will flow for a thousand miles for ten days.

Second, restrict the number of horses of the rich and nobles and officials. Those who exceed the number, the surplus horses, must be sold to the court.

Therefore, there are only four horses in the huge Cishi Mansion. Only for Gu and Xie's travel.

Gu Jiu had no choice but to choose an ox cart if he wanted to go out.

The bullock cart is good except for the slower speed.

Gu Ling and Su Zheng were sitting on the frame, dressed very low-key.

Gu Jiu sat in the carriage and, with the help of Qingmei, changed into a men's suit.

Gu Jiu lifted the car curtain, showed her head, and asked, "How?"

Gu Yu looked at Gu Jiu who was dressed in men's clothes, and was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect my sister to wear men's clothes, she is extraordinarily heroic."

"Really?" Gu Jiu worried that he was too small to support men's clothing.

Gu Ling nodded repeatedly.

Su Zheng also said: "The cousin wears this suit, unexpectedly suitable."

Gu Jiu felt relieved. She wears clothes from Gu Ling a few years earlier, the size is right, but slightly rich and not low-key enough.

She said: "It's just right. Is the drug store here?"

"It's almost here, sister sit down."

Gu Ling nodded and went back to sit in the carriage.

After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's medicine shop.

Gu Jiu jumped out of the carriage, and Qingmei almost yelled in fright.

Gu Jiu, like a wealthy prince, took Gu Yu and Su Zheng into the drugstore.

When the shopkeeper saw him, he personally greeted him, "Should I see a doctor or dispense medicine?"

Gu Jiu looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be a man, and said, "See a doctor."

The shopkeeper said: "The doctor who sees today has a king..."

"I'm looking for Doctor Xu." Gu Jiu decisively interrupted the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned and said hurriedly: "Doctor Xu is not going to see a doctor today."

Gu Jiu took out the prescription and showed a glance in front of the shopkeeper. The prescription has Dr. Xu's signature and seal.

The shopkeeper wanted to take a closer look, but as soon as Gu Jiu took it away, he put away the prescription.

"Before, it was Dr. Xu who visited the doctor and didn't want to change to another doctor. Please be accommodating."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Gu Jiu was dressed richly, he nodded and said, "My son, wait a minute, the younger one will go and ask Doctor Xu."

Gu Ling secretly gave a thumbs up and whispered, "My sister is amazing."

Gu Jiu coughed slightly and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Ling nodded, "I understand."

Soon, Doctor Xu came out of the backyard.

"Who wants to see the old man?"

"It's me!" Gu Ling looked at the other party up and down, his eyes seemed to be evaluating a product, a little casual.

"You are..." Doctor Xu was upset, and the son of someone's family didn't understand the least etiquette. How can you look at people this way.

Gu Jiu took a step forward, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and said like a knife, "Doctor Xu, nobleman, forget things. Some time ago, my life was almost in your hands. Did you forget it so soon?"

Doctor Xu suddenly realized that he recognized Gu Jiu, "You are Gu..."

"Doctor Xu said carefully. People come and go here, not a place to talk." Gu Jiu smiled and looked at each other.

Doctor Xu became inexplicably guilty, his eyes fluttered, and he said nervously: "Please come to the backyard to speak."
