From the same scholarly family, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo, and even the deceased Grand Scholar Cui, are all acquaintances. Now that they meet here, they are naturally very lively and close.
Mr. Guo specially thanked Mrs. Cui and almost half sold and half gave him a Zhuangzi.
Mr. Liu said on behalf of Mrs. Cui, "Brother Guo, you are so embarrassing to the younger generation. When the bachelor was still alive, I had great respect for you. You founded Taihua Academy, and everyone in Kyoto knows that. You are ranked high in the world, and many students respectfully call you the mountain leader. Now, it is fate that Jinrou can live next door to you.
"From now on, it will be inconvenient for me to come here when I am in the city, but you live next door, and I want you to take more care of Jinrou." A little softer. This child's life is miserable! "
Mr. Guo quickly nodded in agreement. Before buying Zhuangzi, he had asked a few questions and vaguely heard about it.
At this moment, he promised, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Move around more in the future. If anything happens to Jinrou, just ask someone to come to Zhuangzi and tell her. "
Mrs. Cui quickly stood up and thanked him, and finally introduced Mr. Wen, Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou and others to his old man.
Mr. Wen is a disciple of Cui University, and Mr. Guo has also seen him, and he still has some impressions.
But it's his turn . He was a little confused about Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou.
Because they didn't look like scholars, but the young man standing behind them, holding the baby girl, had a quiet bookish look in his eyes.
As for Doctor Zhang, he came into the room. She was dozing off and ignored everyone.
However, Mrs. Cui did not treat Li Laosi and others at all, and spoke carefully to Mr. Guo.
"Shan Chief, I was delayed in moving south due to something, and there were many dangers on the road. Fortunately, I met Only with the help of kind-hearted people can he come to Jiangnan safely. The Li brothers, Head Guard Liu, and Doctor Zhang were all my saviors. "
Mr. Guo didn't know what he thought of, and his face was very complicated. He said with emotion, "You are lucky. At times like this, it is really rare for someone to help. Mr.
Wen opened his mouth to say something, but Mrs. Cui preempted him, "Mountain Chief, Uncle Liu, let's start the banquet first and talk while eating."
"Okay, let's talk while eating. " Mr. Liu nodded and greeted Mr. Guo, "We haven't seen each other for many years. How about a drink?"
"Okay, have two drinks. " Mr. Guo managed to regain his interest and said with a smile, "I have just recovered from a serious illness. I can't drink too much. Just two glasses will be enough." When I feel better, I will visit my house again and we will get drunk before resting. "
"good. "Mr. Liu agreed with a smile.
Soon, the banquet was set.
Mrs. Cui is the host, but as a woman, there are many inconveniences, so she can only have Mr. Liu to entertain the guests.
Mr. Liu is sitting at the main seat, and on the left is Guo Old gentleman, behind him were Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng, the Guo family's nephew Guo Qing, Zhang Shenyi, Li Laosi and Liu Biao, etc. sat down in turn.
At the other table, Mrs. Cui brought Jiaren and the Guo family's grandson Wenhao. , plus a piece of good news.
Mrs. Cui got back the dowry, which was not short of money at all, and the banquet was prepared very sumptuously.
Good news ignored others and ate her own belly first.
Jiaren finished picking out the fish bones for his sister, and then went to take care of Guo Wenhao. , but Guo Wenhao didn't move a bite, and the last half of the bowl of fish went into Jiayin's stomach.
Mrs. Cui thought for a while, and asked Sister-in-law Qiong to take the snack box.
Sure enough, Wenhao took a piece of butterfly cake and finally started eating it.
Jiayin was full and drank half a bowl of chicken soup. She looked at Guo Wenhao with a bit of envy and jealousy.
This child must have never experienced hardships in fleeing from poverty, otherwise he would not be so picky about food.
At the main table, Mr. Guo occasionally looked at He came over and sighed.
"My grandson has always been a picky eater and refused to eat. When will he be able to eat big meals like the little fat girl next to him?"
Doctor Zhang was "struggled" with a piece of chopped chicken. Hearing these words, he said, "There is fire in the fetus, and the spleen and stomach are not in harmony. A year of careful conditioning will be enough. " "
Mr. Guo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Mr. Wen and others.
Mr. Wen said, "This is Dr. Zhang. His medical skills are quite exquisite. We came all the way from the north and passed through nearly a thousand miles of mountains and forests, relying on him to save our lives."
"Seriously?" Mr. Guo was surprised and quickly stood up and saluted, please. Doctor Zhang helped diagnose and treat his grandson.
A flash of hesitation flashed in Guo Qing's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
The old miracle doctor Zhang also had enough to eat, so he simply started working. He listened, listened, and inquired, and after a thorough examination, he wrote a prescription.
"Take this medicine once a day for half a month, and then ask me to change the prescription. If nothing else happens, I will take a new prescription every five days and it will be good for a year. I can eat, sleep and live longer."
Mr. Guo hurriedly said After thanking him, Guo Qing suddenly interjected, "Is this prescription ready? We went to more than a dozen doctors and treated him for half a year, but to no avail."
This was questioning the medical skills of the old miracle doctor Zhang. The old miracle doctor glanced at him and sneered. He said, "Do those dozen doctors have imperial doctors? When I trained the imperial doctors as my grandson, you were not born yet."
Guo Qing was not convinced and wanted to refute, but the old miracle doctor Zhang said again, "Also, you If you want to save your life, abstain from sex, alcohol, and vegetarianism. Otherwise, if you continue to indulge in sex, you will die in three years if you don't do it in one year."
There was a dead silence in the room, and Guo Qing's face turned as purple as an eggplant, and he scolded, "I don't understand. What are you talking about!"
Everyone didn't dare to let the two of them argue anymore, so they quickly started to persuade them.
"Come, let's have a drink."
"Yes, the weather is nice. The spring will bloom in a few days. Let's go out for an outing."
The atmosphere finally got better, but Guo Qing didn't say a word anymore, and Mr. Zhang also left the table. He found a chair and sat down, not bothering to participate in the wine table.
Jiayin climbed down from the chair and climbed onto the old man's lap. She smiled and stuffed a piece of osmanthus candy into the old man's mouth, making him smile.
"We Fu Niu should be good, good boy!"
Jiayin smiled with her little white teeth showing, which was festive and cute.
After such an interruption, Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen were afraid that Doctor Zhang would leave in a fit of anger, so they took a few hasty bites, then removed the banquet and replaced it with tea and snacks.
Mr. Guo also felt that his nephew was reckless and lost face today, so he wanted to leave early.
But Mr. Liu suddenly changed his subject, "Brother Guo, I heard that your children and grandchildren are still living in Jiangbei. Is there any news now?"
Mr. Guo's face suddenly became lonely, he shook his head and sighed.
"There has been no news. The barbarians are so close that I can't send anyone to look for them. I feel anxious every day, which is why I got seriously ill before. If I didn't have a little grandson, I have to raise him. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer."
Guo Qing quickly responded, "Uncle, please relax. Once the barbarians retreat, I will immediately lead people across the Yangtze River to find the whereabouts of my eldest brother and the others."
Mr. Guo was pleased to hear this and nodded. , "Let's talk about it then. You are not a warrior. If you go to Jiangbei, I will still miss you."
Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen looked at each other, and Mr. Wen said, "Chief, please take a look at this jade pendant. Do you know it? " ?"
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it over.
Mr. Guo took the jade pendant with a puzzled look, looked at it carefully, and stood up excitedly.
"Where did you find this? This is my son's jade pendant. It is his favorite piece!"
