Chapter 52 Gossip

  Gu Chao was waiting at Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, and when the time came, he would send the little girl away.

  Master Jing Zhaoyin was a little surprised to see Gu Chao in his house when he came back from the Yamen, thinking that there are guests at home?

  But after repeated confirmation, she was sure that she did not know this person.

  After Wang Fulang arranged for Gu Chao, he took his daughter back to the backyard. Both father and daughter cherished this last time.

  Gu Chao could also understand Wang Fulang's mood and let him leave her alone.

  Gu Chao would drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the yard when he had nothing to do, and he didn't mean to be restrained in other people's homes at all, with a comfortable appearance, as if she was the owner of this place.

  So, when Mr. Jing Zhaoyin came home, he saw Gu Chao sitting in the courtyard with a cup of tea, drinking tea and looking at the scenery leisurely, and there were two serving servants beside him.

   Master Jing Zhaoyin thought, did she enjoy herself so much when she was at home?

   After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no such thing!

  The main reason is that she is busy with work, and she is too tired to move when she gets home every day. Where should she have such leisure time?

  Gu Chao saw a middle-aged woman in official clothes coming in, and he thought this person was Jing Zhaoyin.

  The host family is back, so she, as a guest, should naturally say hello to the host family.

  Gu Chao put down the teacup and stood up, clasped his fists at Master Jing Zhaoyin Zhu Yongqi, "Master Zhu."

   Heh, this person still knows her.

  When you come to the door, you are a customer, and you will not hit the smiling person with your hand.

  Master Zhu also cupped his fists at Gu Chao, "I wonder who you are?"

   "I'm next to Gu Chao."

  She doesn't know Gu Chao, but she knows the name Gu Chao.

  The main reason is that Gu Chao has been widely rumored these days, and there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about Gu Chao.

  Of course, all the rumors are about how powerful Gu Chao is, and he is almost praised as a living god.

  Zhu Yongqi doesn't believe in that ghostly thing, and just listens to it as gossip.

  Besides, the yamen is too busy all day, and she doesn't have that much time to listen to these.

  However, why is this person at her house?

  Although there were doubts in his heart, but out of demeanor, Lord Zhu still had a few polite words with Gu Chao before he asked Gu Chao why he came.

  Gu Chao told her what happened at home, then sat there and continued drinking tea, waiting for Master Zhu to digest on his own.

  After Mr. Zhu finally came back to his senses, Gu Chao said kindly, "There are still three or four hours before Ion Time, Mr. Zhu should go and accompany the child too!"

   As he spoke, Gu Chao squeezed the formula again and hit Master Zhu on the forehead, so that she could see her daughter.

  Master Zhu is still dubious, but she doesn't look like she's lying to Gu Chao like this.

   After being polite to Gu Chao, she got up and went to the backyard. She wanted to see it for herself.

   When she went to the backyard and saw her husband and the eldest daughter who had passed away, the mother and daughter naturally recognized each other again, with tears in their eyes, and the family was finally reunited.

  When it came to the son, Lord Zhu dismissed all the servants, leaving only their family of three and Gu Chao in the yard.

  At this time, Wang Fulang realized that he hadn't prepared such things as money, paper and incense.

   Ask the underworld to help, how can people drive back empty-handed.

   "No need for those, I have prepared myself."

  Hearing what Gu Chao said, Wang Fulang and the others felt relieved.

  As soon as the hour came, Gu Chao took out the soul-inducing incense in the space and lit it, then began to recite the formula to invite the messenger.

   After a cup of tea, Master Zhu and the others found that the surrounding temperature had dropped, and they heard the sound of chains being dragged and rubbed against the ground.

   Then, they saw a dim light appearing in the darkness in the distance.

   It was getting closer and closer, although it was still unclear, but it could be seen that it was two blurred figures.

  The one who came here was not a human being.

  Two errants approached, their eyes swept over the three people and one ghost, they paused when they saw Gu Chao, and finally fell on the little girl.

   "Who invited us up? And why?"

   Yin Zai's voice is bleak and gloomy, making people shudder.

   Master Zhu and his wife finally saw the true face of the ghost. They thought that they never wanted to see each other again in this life.

  Fortunately, Daoist Gu was here, otherwise the two of them might faint on the spot.

   Master Zhu, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, finally believed in them. The facts were in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe them.

  Gu Chao clasped his fists at the two servants with a polite attitude, "I'm next, Gu Chao."

  The two errands couldn't help but look at Gu Chao a few more times, and then saw that Gu Chao lit another incense stick and sent it to them.

   Gu Chao just started to explain the situation.

   "Zhu's parents and daughter missed the opportunity to enter the underworld because they were young and reluctant to let go of their parents. They also asked the two to take her into the place and reincarnate."

   After enjoying the fragrance of nourishing the soul, the errand felt like eating people's mouth, so he glanced at Gu Chao.

  However, they were very satisfied with the soul nourishing incense, so they still nodded.

   "This is our responsibility, you don't have to be polite."

  The reason why the two underworld servants were so polite to Gu Chao and called them fellow Taoists was also because they recognized Gu Chao's identity.

  Based on this person's cultivation base, compared with the palace lords in the underworld, they don't know who is higher or lower, so they naturally dare not neglect.

  Besides, this man politely invited them to come, and even gave them gifts.

   "Thank you so much, both of you have worked hard to make this trip."

  The errand waved at the little girl of the Zhu family, and the little girl's soul floated straight towards them.

   "If there is nothing else, we sisters will go back."

  Gu Chao nodded and said, "There will be a period later."

  Then the two servants took the little girl from the Zhu family to the beginning, but they disappeared with just a few snaps of their fingers.

   The errand left, and the surrounding temperature returned to normal.

  At this time, Wang Fulang finally couldn't help crying in Master Zhu's arms, "Ying'er, woo~"

  Master Zhu put her arms around Fulang, and gently patted his back. Her eyes were also bloodshot. Presumably, her inner pain was no less than that of Wang Fulang.

   That's right, that's her eldest daughter, she has been eagerly looking forward to since she was conceived, and after landing, she is also a child who is wholeheartedly cared for and loved.

   It was already late at night after the matter was settled, and Gu Chao stayed at Master Zhu's house that night.

  Yin Xiuyan waited in the inn until mid-afternoon, and Gu Chao hadn't come back, so she called the waiter to ask her if she knew where Gu Chao was going. The waiter only knew that Gu Chao had gone out, but didn't know where he went.

  Later, the old nun Wuchen came back with her young apprentice, she grabbed Wuchen and questioned him again, but Wuchen didn't know where Gu Chao had gone.

  Gu Chao went out every day, but he didn't tell old nun Wuchen where she was going every day. The places she went to were different every day, and she said every day that she found it troublesome.

   Helpless, she had no choice but to continue to wait, until it was dark and Gu Chao still hadn't arrived, so she had to go home in the end.

   Before leaving, tell the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, when Daoist Gu will come back, and when will he come to inform her.

  Early the next morning, Gu Chao came out from Lord Zhu's residence, and was going back to the Drunken Immortal Tower to change his clothes before going to Yin's residence to check the old man's pulse.

  Since he took money from the Yin Mansion, he must be responsible.

  She made the medicine herself, and she knew it well. After taking it for three days, the old man probably should change the medicine.

  So, Gu Chao has already arranged this time.

  However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of Zuixianlou, he saw Yin Xiuyan sitting in the lobby eating breakfast.

  Yin Xiuyan didn't wait for anyone yesterday, so she got up at dawn to watch over her today.

  I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, I was afraid that I would miss Gu Chao if I came late.

  When she arrived at Zuixianlou, she asked the shopkeeper, knowing that Gu Chao hadn't come back all night, so she ordered breakfast and waited while eating.

  While eating, she pulled her neck and looked towards the door, finally seeing Gu Chao coming back, she rushed out to pull Gu Chao with half a bun in her mouth.

  As if he was afraid that she would disappear again and make her wait another day in vain.

   Knowing her reason for coming, Gu Chao ordered the breakfast on the table, "You continue to eat, I will go up and change clothes and come down."

  Yin Xiuyan got her permission, and then let her go, sat down and continued to eat.

  Gu Chao didn't lie to her, he really just came down after changing clothes.

  She moved quickly, and so did Yin Xiuyan. By the time Gu Chao came down, she had already finished her breakfast and was standing at the door waiting.

  Gu Chao looked at her and smiled lightly, "I originally planned to go to your house to check the old man's pulse today, so you don't have to make this trip."

  Yin Xiuyan couldn't help feeling depressed when she heard that, you should have said it earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait all day yesterday, and come here in a hurry at dawn today.

  Because the last time Ruan Laosan brought them to Gu Chao to see Feng Shui at home, she made them wait for three days. She knew that there were many people looking for Gu Chao, and they had to queue up.

  That's why she was in such a hurry.

  Her family's old man is different from those who look at Feng Shui and fortune-telling. Maybe he can wait, but her old man can't wait.

  The most important thing is that Gu Chao has been given medicine for four days in total, and this is the fourth day. If she doesn't make it through, will her father's medicine have to be stopped?

  How is this possible!

  When they arrived at the Yin Mansion, a small attendant came up to welcome them. Presumably, they had been waiting for them here a long time ago.

   "Miss, the ancestors are admiring the flowers in the garden, let the slaves wait here for the young lady and Daoist Gu, just go directly to the garden."

  It seems that the health of the old man of the Yin family has improved, otherwise he would not be able to get out of bed and go to the garden.

  Gu Chao knows how many medicines she has, and her budget is about the same.

   Arriving in the garden, after being polite first, Gu Chao checked the old man's pulse.

   "Judging from the old man's recovery, it will take less than a year and a half to recover. It's still the last time I told you, don't be overjoyed or sad, and don't be in a hurry.

   Usually when you are in good spirits and in a good mood, go out for a walk more, which is good for your body.

  I changed the prescription again, this time the medicine can be taken for three months in a row, and I will change it after three months. "

   Speaking of this, Gu Chao thought that she would go back to her family village if she couldn't get through it any longer. After those three months, I'm afraid he would have to come back again.

   Gu Chao frowned, three months later it will be almost the year, eh~ she doesn't want to go out!

  The house will be built next year, and she has no time.

  Yin Xiuyan and Lan Fulang, who were listening carefully to Gu Chao's instructions, waited for a while but did not wait for Gu Chao to speak, thinking that she had finished.

   As a result, she saw her frowning again, and her heart also raised. Could there be something else?

   It's probably not a simple thing that can make Gu Daochang frown, right?

   "Gu Daochang, is there something embarrassing?"

  Gu Chao nodded, of course it was embarrassing, she didn't want to go out, but this place took over the Yin family's business, so she couldn't just leave it alone.

   Isn't it embarrassing!

   "I'm going back in ten days."

  The three of them were stunned, "Go back?"

   In this way, what about the medicine behind the ancestors?

  Looking at Gu Chao's embarrassment, could it be that Daoist Gu has a very important matter and can't leave?

  After thinking for a while, Yin Xiuyan asked, "I don't know where Gu Daochang's immortal residence is. If it is inconvenient for Gu Daochang, we can go there by ourselves."

  Yin Xiuyan also knew that a Taoist priest with real abilities like Gu Chao would not stay in one place, but would roam around.

   Daoist Gu came to Beijing, isn’t it just a short time ago?

   Fortunately, Daoist Gu said he wanted to go back instead of going to Yunyou after finishing talking. Otherwise, the world is so big that they would not be able to find anyone if they wanted to.

  However, if they go by themselves, they will definitely have to take their ancestors with them. I hope that Gu Daochang's immortal residence will not be too far away.

  Gu Chao felt that Yin Xiuyan was very knowledgeable. Since she took the initiative to say that she would go in person, is there any reason for her not to agree?

   Of course not!

  Anyway, by that time, the old man of the Yin family should not recover much. Even if the carriage goes back and forth for three or four days, it will be no problem.

  So Gu Chao's frowning brows also dispersed, and a smile appeared on his face.

   "Then I will trouble you to come here, but don't worry, the old man's body will definitely be able to withstand a few days of driving and horses at that time."

  Then Gu Chao reported the family name, and fearing that they would not remember, he wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to Yin Xiuyan.

  Holding Yin Xiuyan with the address of Gu Chao’s home on it, and listening to Gu Chao talking about traveling for a few days, he felt relieved that it was not far away.

  She looked at the last specific place on the paper, Gujia Village, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where a master in the world doesn't like the noise of the mortal world, and lives in seclusion among the beautiful mountains and fields.

   Sure enough, an expert like Daoist Gu is different from ordinary people like them.

  The expert Gu Chao didn't have this idea. The reason why she chose to stay in Gu's Village was because the environment was good on the one hand, but on the other hand, she just didn't want to be too troublesome.

   While waiting for the boy to grab the medicine, the few of them chatted casually.

  The old man looked at Gu Chao and his granddaughter, and suddenly remembered the gossip that the sons-in-law had talked about yesterday when they came to greet him.

   At this time, both of them happened to be there, so he mentioned something.

   "Yan'er, Daoist Gu, I don't know if you have heard about Mr. Han?"

  Actually, his original intention was just to remind his granddaughter that they are all married and have children.

  As for Gu Chao, like the head husband of the Han family, he felt that Gu Chao would not have any thoughts on matters between men and women.

  Both of them were taken aback when they heard this. Who is Young Master Han?

  Seeing the stunned expressions of the two, the old man thought that this rumor could not be true, it was just those talkative talkers.

  So, the expression on the old man's face has also improved, and he is ready to take this word with him in a casual sentence.

"It's not just those talkatives. It is said that you, the third child of the Ruan family and the child of the Li family were ambiguous with Mr. Han in the garden of the Li family yesterday. The reputation of this man's family is so important. Just be more careful when you go out."

   When the old man said this, he was looking at his granddaughter, but he found that his granddaughter turned to look at Daoist Gu after hearing this!

  He was obviously reminding her, she didn't reflect on herself, why did she go to see Daoist Gu?

   Do you still care about what happened to Gu Chao?

  Gu Chao also understood, it turned out that they were watched by someone when they were in the garden yesterday.

   Not only was it seen by others, but gossip about that young master was also spread.

   That son, is his surname Han?
