But at the same time, Rao Lu admired him in his heart.
I didn't expect that such a little girl was not only the owner of a caravan, but also had such good medical skills.
When he went in to take a look just now, he felt that the splints were more exquisite than those of the doctor in their village.
…
A horse moves through the night and merges into the night.
Ging Guo was wearing a curtain hat, holding the reins in his hands, and the horse was galloping forward.
It wasn't until the sky started to get brighter that Ging Guo drank a bowl of Chaos at a stall.
Because it was still early, there weren't many people around, and Bai Guo was sitting in a corner, so the stall owner didn't see her face until she finished eating.
After leaving enough copper coins, Ging Guo rode on horseback again and continued on his way. It was almost dusk when he returned to Guwu County.
Bai Guo did not go back to Bai's house directly, but rode up to Shang Mountain.
Mount Shang is also a temple, but both the scenery on the mountain and the quality of the temple are inferior to Mount Wangyuan in Kyoto.
But another advantage of Shangshan is that half of the yard can be rented.
If you come to pray to Buddha and want to stay overnight, you can rent a courtyard and stay there.
Before, Ging Guo and the old lady would stay one night before leaving after going up the mountain.
Baiguo chose to ride up the mountain from behind, directly missing the people who came to worship Buddha.
The closest thing behind the mountain was a small courtyard, and Ging Guo opened the door directly and entered.
Pang Yan had been waiting all afternoon. When she saw a man wearing a curtain and hat coming in, she was first surprised, and then she called out tentatively: "County Lord?"
Ging Guo responded and took off the curtain hat.
Seeing that it was really Ginkgo, Pang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said: "I will give the county master a bath first."
Bai Guo endured his exhaustion and followed behind the screen. When he came out, he had already changed into the clothes of the county chief.
Pang Yan carefully wiped Ginguo's hair clean, changed her hairstyle into a dignified style, and added expensive hairpins.
"The carriage is waiting at the bottom of the mountain." Pang Yan said immediately after finishing it: "The slave has prepared hot tea and cakes in the carriage."
The horses outside have been moved away and fed by the waiting guards.
The way up Shangshan Mountain is ninety-nine steps. When Ginguo slowly walked down with a gauze and Pang Yan holding her hand, everyone stopped and greeted Gingo: "I have met the Lord of Kangle County."
Ging Guo nodded back and did not stop.
When I finally got down the mountain, I saw an oversized carriage with the word "Kangle" on it.
The groom saw Bai Guo coming down the mountain and put down his footstool.
Bai Guo's eyes swept over the faces of the escort one by one before he stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage.
After Pang Yan got on the carriage, she poured a cup of hot tea for Ging Guo and moved several snacks on the table towards Ging Guo.
Since morning, I have only eaten a bowl of chaotic ginkgo and used some of it, and I couldn't help but fell asleep in the carriage.
After half an hour, Pang Yan softly called out: "County Lord, we are here."
Ging Guo was gently pushed awake by Pang Yan. Her eyes were not very clear when she woke up. She stared at Pang Yan for two breaths before she regained consciousness and asked, "Are we here?"
Pang Yan didn't know why Ging Guo was so tired, so she nodded hesitantly and said, "We've arrived, the county chief."
Gingguo closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, he could no longer see anything.
"Put away your expression." Bai Guo turned to Pang Yan and said, "Don't let anyone see it."
Pang Yan knew that no one else knew about Bai Guo's outing this time, so she pretended to be in the temple for many days today.
So as soon as Bai Guo finished speaking, he nodded immediately, straightened his face, got off the carriage first, and then helped Bai Guo down.
The guard had seen Bai Guo's carriage coming back earlier, and even asked the little maid to tell He Mei that Bai Guo was back.
So just a few steps after Bai Guo walked in, he saw Bai Mingzheng running out like the wind. He called him "cousin, cousin, cousin..." along the way.
Bai Guo was pushed back two or three steps before he could stand still. He couldn't help pinching Bai Mingzheng's nose, "You're so reckless."
Bai Mingzheng raised his little face and stared at Bai Guo, "I miss you, cousin, why did you stay in the temple for so long?"
The news released by the Bai family was that she went to fulfill her wish.
"Because I want to show sincerity." Bai Guo opened his eyes and lied, then took Bai Mingzheng's hand and walked into the back house, "How has Mingzheng been good these days?"
"You're so good!" Bai Mingzheng nodded like a chicken sucking rice, then looked at Ging Guo with bright eyes, "Is there any reward?"
Bai Guo laughed, he wanted the last ten cents.
"There is a reward." Bai Guo pretended to think for a while and said, "I gave you ten cents last time, so this time..."
Bai Mingzheng's eyes were shining.
"I'll give you a medical book." Bai Guo suppressed a smile and said, "My cousin has a lot of medical books. Mingzheng will give you whichever one you like."
"Cousin~~~~" Bai Mingzheng pouted, holding his throat and acting coquettishly, "I don't want a medical book."
Bai Guo laughed and patted Bai Mingzheng on the head, "Speak well."
Bai Ming was pulling Ginguo's sleeves, his round eyes brightening again, "I want candied haws."
Bai Guo shook his head and firmly refused, "No."
Bai Mingzheng was disappointed and said, "What about maltose?"
"Don't think about it." Bai Guo pinched Bai Mingzheng's face, "You can't eat sweets."
Bai Mingzheng was even more disappointed, but he still pulled Ginguo's sleeve and asked, "Can I have something to play with?"
Bai Guo thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but I have the final say on what to do."
Bai Mingzheng nodded fiercely.
What I am thinking about are crickets, grasshoppers, pricked mouths, oil gourds, golden bells...
When they entered the backyard, they saw He Mei being supported by a maid and walking out. He Mei also saw Ging Guo. She stepped forward and looked at Ging Guo carefully before saying, "Why are you back so late?"
Bai Guo held He Mei's hand and said, "I overslept during my nap, so I had some free time."
He Mei gave Bai Guo a funny look, "Did you hear them say that I have arranged a birthday banquet for you? It's true, you came back as soon as I arranged it."
Bai Guo chuckled lightly, "With the second aunt here, it's natural to trouble the second aunt. My niece also heard that the second aunt spent a lot of money and did a big job."
He Mei patted Bai Guo's hand and said, "This is your first year as the county head. It would be unreasonable if you don't send posts to other officials."
"My niece is naturally not as thoughtful as my second aunt." Bai Guo smiled at He Mei and said, "My niece will have to trouble my second aunt even more in the future."
The two talked for a while, and He Mei looked at Bai Mingzheng who was holding Ginguo's sleeve behind her, and glared fiercely, "You can practice calligraphy for me."
Bai Mingzheng glanced at He Mei aggrievedly, then went in with his head hanging down.
"Go back to the courtyard and rest for a while." He Mei touched the corners of Ginguo's eyes and said, "I won't call you for dinner."
The fatigue of a day and night cannot be offset by squinting for a while on the carriage. He Mei had long noticed that Ging Guo's eyes were tired and her words showed tiredness.
But she stopped asking if Bai Guo didn't say anything. It was still heartbreaking to see Bai Guo insisting on talking to her.
A girl is so tired and doesn't know what she has been doing these past few days. What's the problem?
Bai Guo smiled at He Mei, then bowed and said, "The niece has resigned."
Ging Guo slept very deeply that night and couldn't wake up until dark.
Pang Yan, who was guarding, saw that it was time for the second master to have dinner, and also knew that Ging Guo couldn't get up, so he asked all the maids in the yard to retreat.
Pang Yan went into the outer room of the house, put on her clothes and leaned on the couch, thinking that if the county lord woke up in the middle of the night and was hungry and thirsty, someone would be able to take care of him.
Bai Guo didn't wake up until almost dawn. The noise startled Pang Yan outside, "County Lord."
Ging Guo gestured to the water on the table and drank two glasses before asking, "What time is it?"
"There's still half an hour until dawn. County Lord, please take a nap." Pang Yan put the cup on the table, and suddenly heard Gingo ask again: "Brother Pang Yang is coming back today?"
"I'm coming back today." Pang Yan went to the bed and knelt down to press the kicked-off quilt beside Bai Guo's feet before continuing: "I have a day off every five days. Today is a day off."
Bai Guo nodded, leaned against the bed for a while and asked, "What did Brother Pang Yang do when he came back last time?"
Pang Yan originally thought that Bai Guo had something to tell Pang Yang, but now the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
But this was not the right thing to ask. Pang Yan suppressed the strangeness in her heart and replied, "I am learning from Mr. He after the county lord's instructions."
Not long after she finished speaking, Bai Guo continued to ask: "What else have you done?"
Pang Yan's mind was spinning and she replied: "I practiced martial arts for two hours, read books with my husband for two hours, and practiced calligraphy for an hour."
"Is there anyone looking for trouble with Brother Pang Yang?" Bai Guo opened his eyes and looked at Pang Yan.
"...No." As soon as Pang Yan finished speaking, she saw Bai Guo's eyes suddenly become sharp, and she repeated her question, "No?!"
Pang Yan's heart was beating wildly and she said with a trembling voice: "...Yes...Yes"
"Who?" Bai Guo frowned.
"...It's not like asking for trouble." Pang Yan almost wanted to hit herself. Why did she suddenly say yes after being stared at for a moment? !
"I asked you who you are." Bai Guo frowned impatiently, "Just answer what I say."
Pang Yan was startled by the sudden fierceness of Ging Guo, and said quickly: "It's... it's the second young master... It's not that he's looking for trouble, but the second young master wants Le Nei and Pang Yang to sign with each other, and Pang Yang doesn't want to ...just...just"
"say clearly."
Bai Guo's long and narrow fox eyes were full of coldness, which made Pang Yan shiver violently, "Pang Yang didn't want to, so the second master asked Le Nei to chop him over with a big knife..."
Ging Guo's heart tightened.
"Pang Yang escaped. The second young master was not satisfied, so he made Pang Yang kneel down to be punished..." Pang Yan saw Ginguo's face getting darker and darker, and her voice became softer, "Pang Yang...knelt down all night. "
Pang Yan saw that Ging Guo's eyes became dark and gloomy, as if no light could seep in, and they were so cold and frightening.
"Change."
This was the voice Pang Yan heard after a long time. There was no anger at all, but it was a chill that made people tremble.
Pang Yan controlled her trembling hands to change Gingguo's clothes, wash her hair, and wash her hair.
It will definitely not be peaceful today!
The county lord's birthday party, in order to prevent trouble or mistakes, all the maids and servants got up early.
He Mei was thinking about this matter and she got up earlier than usual. But as soon as she got up, she heard the nanny coming in from outside and said: "Madam, the little maid said that the county master went to the front yard!"
