the saying goes, good deeds never leave home, but bad ones travel a thousand miles.The news of Miao Shoutang treating Liu Yisheng spread quickly, attracting many on-lookers in the afternoon.They weren’t disappointed either.By the time of sundown, the bruiser that Gu Jiao had knocked flat came back, along with a squad of guards.They weren’t officials, but rather looked like guards from some affluent homes.The burly man pointed his shaking hand at Gu Jiao and glared, “Master Tong! That’s her! She was the one who beat us all up!”The guard called Master Tong looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see a fourteen or fifteen year old girl. He was bewildered, “Who?”“Her! That woman!” said the burly man.Tong frowned and looked at Gu Jiao, then at the burly man, “Are you telling me that you all got beaten up by a girl?”Wha… What’s this about a dog?The large man refused to admit it!But recalling how they were scrambling around on the ground looking for their teeth, they loo

This name sounded somewhat familiar.But Gu Jiao couldn’t recall where she had heard it for the moment.Gu Jiao ordered someone to prepare his medicine, but did not accept his money.Carrying the medicine, Liu Yisheng stumbled away.He had barely taken two steps when suddenly he turned around: “Maybe you shouldn’t have treated me after all.”Many times he had been deceived. Each time he harbored hope, but each time only met disappointments.But this time, he knew the medicine she gave him was authentic.Countless times he had wished that the medicine given by others was genuine, but this time alone, he wished it to be a hoax.Liu Yisheng left.When Gu Jiao returned to the medical hall, except for Dr. Song and Shopkeeper Wang, who looked puzzled, the other local Capital City staff all kept their heads down, not daring to utter a word.“Little Gu! I’m back!”The second owner entered the medical hall, cheer and excitement in his eyes, “Being wealthy indeed feels different, it even makes

The landlord’s wife initially thought Gu Jiao would ask why he had suddenly changed his mind, but instead, she promptly started waving SILVER bills in their face.Isn’t that way too showy?The landlord’s wife was dumbstruck: “Where did you get so much silver?”“Well…” Gu Jiao thought for a moment, “Extorted them.”The landlord’s wife: “…”I also want to extort as much, take me with you!Gu Chengfeng actually wasn’t this rich, he didn’t have more than a thousand taels in total, the other two thousand were borrowed.In order to pay back the silver, he had already started secretly taking on extra work, and it was not as simple as shoveling a few mounds of chicken dung, those tasks were all dangerous and strenuous.His days were squeezed dry by school during the day and by tasks at night, it was a miserable existence, to say the least.On the first day of opening after the New Year, the Medical Hall had a lot going on.Gu Jiao and Dr. Song took out some of the medicinal herbs from the cab

The Emperor left the soon-to-be incumbent official without a backward glance.He was on his way to look for the elder ritual wine official.The elder official hadn’t included his address in his letter, but the Emperor was not incapable of finding him.The messenger who delivered the letter had said he was just running an errand for a guest staying at the Eastward Inn.Eastward Inn, splendid.The Emperor personally went to the Eastward Inn, but found that the elder official had already left by the time he arrived.“When did he leave?” The eunuch by His Majesty’s side asked.The innkeeper replied, “He left a while ago. He goes out every day and only returns late.”“How many days has he been staying here?” The eunuch probed further.The shopkeeper glanced at his ledger and replied, “Five nights.”The Eastward Inn was an unremarkable inn, one so downtrodden that was scorned even as a lavatory for the Emperor.The Emperor felt deeply saddened when he thought about how the elder official ha

He had received news from Minister Zhuang in advance that the position of Libationer at Guozijian had been confirmed. The Emperor intended to confer upon the crown prince the title of Ning King at the first court meeting of the New Year, and simultaneously, he would be officially appointed as the Libationer of Guozijian.“Congratulations, sir!” the butler said.Zheng Siye raised his chin proudly: “What about it? If it weren’t for all those troublesome incidents, I should have rightfully been the Libationer of Guozijian already!”The butler replied, “Indeed, sir! But it’s not too late now!”“True.”Zheng Siye smiled.Thinking of something, he asked, “Are the clothes ironed yet?”“Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Just waiting for the official badge to be issued by the court to sew it on!” the butler hastily answered.Guozijian’s ceremonial robes are commissioned by the court, but Zheng Siye couldn’t wait that long. He had them made prematurely—a robe that currently lacked the Libationer badge signif

The old priest actually understood his meaning. When a person is younger, there is more time remaining. His life’s learnings couldn’t be drilled down in ten or twenty years.“Come in.” the old priest called out to the entrance.Xiao Liulang walked in.The old priest’s gaze fell on Xiao Liulang’s face, and he instantly froze.Xiao Liulang had attended the old priest’s classes when he was a child. The old priest certainly recognized him.But the next sentence from the old priest almost choked him, “Am I dead? Why are you dead too? It’s over, there’s no one to inherit my place!”Xiao Liulang: “…”The old priest: “…”It took a lot of effort from the old priest to convince the old man that the young man before him is not dead.As for why he doesn’t die, the old priest didn’t say, the old man did not ask.To live to this age, knowing fate, some things are clear in the heart but can’t be scrutinized.This was true for the old man, as well as for the old priest.The old priest asked, “Are you
