Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty First Cordial

Li Hao also put his cloak on Chu Mushan. Gu Ye was wrapped in a warm cloak, and his bluish face finally recovered. She looked at Gu Li'er with watery eyes, and said miserably: "We haven't reached the capital yet, and the snow will be heavy. Come to the factory to avoid the wind and snow..."

"Why are you wearing so thin? Don't tell me, you didn't have thick clothes in your luggage!" Gu Li'er touched Xiao Ye'er's face, and it was still a little cold, so she rubbed her hands and rubbed it for her.

Gu Ye's voice was pitiful: "I have brought thick clothes... Didn't I want to come back earlier? I came back with my brothers on horseback, and it would take two days for the luggage cart to arrive in Beijing. Who would have thought that this temperature Will it suddenly drop?"

"You, you! You are not in good health. If you freeze it out, won't the prince and his wife feel bad? Come, follow me to the dormitory, and I will cook some ginger soup for you to go to the cold!" The cloak wrapped her tightly again.

Gu Ye continued to pretend to be pitiful and bargained: "Sister Li'er, can you just drink the brown sugar water instead of the ginger? My body has been taken care of a long time ago, and I won't get sick, Ah Chi—"

"Look, you said you won't get sick? Why don't you like ginger soup just like when you were a child? Drinking ginger soup to ward off cold is better than drinking bitter medicine when you are sick, right?" Gu Li'er pointed He tapped her forehead. Gu Lier, who is only one or two years older than Gu Ye, gradually showed her mature and capable side after years of training.

"Don't we have cold granules in our factory? No need to drink decoction!" Gu Ye retorted stubbornly.

"No! Ginger soup must be drunk! If you can't have good medicine at home, you should rush to seek sickness?" Gu Li'er's voice that could not be refuted, merged with the flying snow all over the sky.

Two guards, you look at me, I look at you! I went to Li Hao's guard, looked at the brazier and hot tea in the reception room, and said with a little dejection: "I'm finished! Who would have thought that this group of people is the owner of our pharmaceutical factory? I even turned them away. , I suspect others... brother, you still have the power to see!"

Although the second guard was also a little worried, he comforted: "Brother, it's too early to worry about being fired. Besides, you are also doing things carefully for the pharmaceutical factory. I look at our young master, not that kind of unreasonable person. …”

The guard shook his head and sighed, "Forget it! It's useless to worry, let's stand on the last guard..."

Several days passed, and the dismissal and punishment they feared did not come. At the staff meeting at the end of the month, their immediate boss, head guard Li, publicly praised them for their devotion to their duties and meticulous work at the meeting. They also received an extra twenty taels of silver in bonuses!

The fact that they stopped the owner of the pharmaceutical factory and her brother quickly spread in the pharmaceutical factory. Everyone said they were lucky and had a good master. What's more, she praised Gu Ye, the owner of the pharmaceutical factory, saying that she was fair and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments. The example of the two guards also made every employee of the pharmaceutical factory understand that as long as they work hard, they can get the rewards they deserve. This is all for later!

Because Gu Li'er was in Beijing alone, she did not live in the two courtyards assigned to her. Her room is a small suite with one bedroom and one living room with kitchen and bathroom. The temperature suddenly dropped today, and the dormitory building has already started heating. As soon as Gu Ye entered the door, he felt a sense of warmth coming towards his face, and at the same time he shivered, he felt that he was surrounded by warmth.

In the small living room, there is a table and four chairs. Gu Li'er moved a chair and put it next to the heating pipe to let Gu Ye sit down. He went to the next door to borrow a few stools, let Yueyuan and the two servants also sit down, and built another brazier, which was placed at Gu Ye's feet.

Gu Ye took off the big cloak outside, and the small cloak that had been drenched in snow also hung up. Gu Li'er frowned, found a set of thick cotton dresses she had just made, and asked Gu Ye to go into the bedroom and put on her clothes.

Gu Ye let him do whatever he wanted, and he seemed very well-behaved. In her heart, Gu Lier filled the role of her sister. It feels good to be cared about! Uh... it would be nice if she didn't force her to drink ginger syrup!

Gu Lier cooked the ginger soup, gave everyone a bowl, and then stood beside Gu Ye, staring at her to drink the ginger syrup. Although a lot of brown sugar is put in, there is also a lot of ginger in it, which is spicy. Gu Ye took a small sip, and immediately wrinkled his face - it's so bad!

Gu Li'er thought it was funny, but she said with a straight face: "It's said that long pain is worse than short pain, but it's more enjoyable after drinking it in one breath. Or do you like a soft knife to be sharpened slowly?"

Gu Ye rolled her eyes at her - it wasn't you who drank it, so of course you don't have back pain when you stand talking? But Gu Li'er is right, stretching the neck is a knife and shrinking the neck is also a knife, let's have a good time! Gu Ye frowned tightly and drank the ginger soup in one go. The last mouthful, I almost spit it out. She quickly pulled out a strawberry-flavored lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth!

"Why are you still like a child, taking medicine and asking for candy?" Gu Li'er teased her for being squeamish. When I was in Qingshan Village in the past, I had no money to buy medicine, so when I caught a cold, why not pour ginger soup? Back then, I couldn't even afford brown sugar!

Li Hao said to Chu Mushan and Gu Ming, "Let's go, go to my room and change your clothes." Braving the wind and snow all the way, their clothes were half wet. Especially Chu Mushan, wearing a thin jacket, the snow head soaked the clothes!

Li Hao handed the two thick padded coats to the two of them, smiled and said to Gu Ming: "Fortunately, the conditions are better now, if it were put away, it would be a luxury to wear a cotton padded coat for a winter!

When I was in Qingshan Village, most families had only one set of cotton-padded clothes, and whoever went out wore them. Others can only stay warm on the big kang... My family was considered a good village back then, and it took several years to make clothes, so how could there be extra money to lend to others? "

Gu Ye put on his new guard uniform, which was covered with thick cotton, and the effect of keeping warm was good. He looked at the heating in the room again, and said to Li Hao, "This house is really nice. You don't need your own kang and floor dragons! It's warm as soon as you walk in the door!"

"Just seeing that we save trouble here, the factory has hired more than a dozen workers for heating in one winter!" Li Hao bared his teeth in pain, "However, the welfare of our pharmaceutical factory, That's really not to say! There are eight sets of work clothes throughout the year, providing ice in summer and heating in winter. Not to mention children from poor families, even if they are from a well-off family, they are willing to send their children to our factory! Fortunately, I have followed a kind master!"

"My little sister is kind, so you don't know it!" Gu Ming leaned back in the chair and said with a smile, "You kid, you've become the leader of the guards so soon. Okay, Boss Li!"

"Don't make fun of me! Didn't it benefit from Chu Shao and your guidance? I can't compare with you, you are going for martial arts! When I see you in the future, I will respectfully call you 'General Gu' 'Woolen cloth!"

With the relationship between the Gu family and the government of Zhenguo, it will definitely be smooth sailing if he succeeds in martial arts in the future and develops in the military! However, Li Hao was not jealous at all. Grandpa often told him to eat as much as he wants, and don't want to dream those unreachable dreams!

He is very satisfied with his current life! Every month, I have seven or eight taels of silver, and I send half of it back to my family. I save the rest and the bonuses, so I can plan for my own life in the future. When I was young, I heard that the seventh uncle of the Gu family (Gu Qiao, Gu Ming's biological father) was the second shopkeeper in Yancheng, and he earned 2 taels of silver a month. He already thought it was very powerful. The village said that the seventh uncle of the Gu family was promising.

His dream was to become an apprentice at a younger age, like Uncle Gu Qi, and slowly climb up to the position of shopkeeper... Unexpectedly, he, his sister, and Li'er all became "promising" among the villagers. people.

Fortunately, he and his younger sister didn't bully her because of Ye Er's dullness like other peers. Who would have thought that Gu Ye'er, who was terribly thin and had an unpleasant personality back then, could become such a powerful person after worshipping a master? She is the one who is truly promising!

According to Gu Li'er's mother, when Uncle Gu Qi heard that Ye'er was the stray daughter of the Duke of Zhen Guo's family, he was so sorry that he slammed his head against the wall, beat Liu Shi hard again, and hugged Miao Shi in front of him. The relic left behind, weeping.

If the Miao Shi hadn't died, the couple would treat Gu Ye'er as their flesh and blood as they did before. With the credit for saving the girl from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it is enough for him to eat spicy food in the capital.

But now? A good girl, she was almost thrown on the mountain to feed the wolves, and she even sold people! Later, it was repeated over and over again, looking for trouble with other people's daughters... It would be good if the government of the government did not retaliate against his family!

Everyone in the village said that Gu Laoqi played a bad hand with a good hand. Since then, Gu Qiao has never recovered. If he has money in his hand, he will buy wine and get drunk, and when he is drunk, he will beat Liu Shi severely. He was also hooked by the second-rate in the village to gamble for money. All the money for selling medicinal herbs has been lost by him... Xiao Zhuang followed him, hungry and full, and patches of clothes. If it wasn't for Liu's follow, Xiao Zhuang would have had a worse life.

However, these Li Hao did not tell Gu Ming. After all, Uncle Gu Qi was Gu Ming's biological father. He was not doing well, and Gu Ming must not be feeling well in his heart.

Li Hao tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "How is it? When are you going to participate in the martial arts competition? I'm still waiting for your celebration wine!"

"Don't worry! I've only started learning to read when I'm eleven, and my foundation is weaker than that of many people. It's not a matter of being good at martial arts, and you can do it. Wentao and martial arts are indispensable! Anyway, I I’m still young, and after a few years of hard study, my kung fu will be more solid, and it’s not too late to end up!”

Gu Ming went to Wu Zhuangyuan. Among the seven older brothers, he was the least promising. He can't fall into his sister's name! There is a younger sister who has been named "Princess Protecting the Country", which puts a lot of pressure on him! Of course, this pressure will also become the driving force in his growth process, pushing him all the way!

Gu Ming suddenly smiled at Li Hao and asked, "How are you now...with your fiancee? We haven't seen you for more than half a year. Sister Li'er looks more capable!"
