days of being forced

Chapter 17

Seeing Jiang Ning's disdainful face, Gu Xingzhi originally wanted to explain that his refining medicine is not so unreliable, and now it has real effects, but after thinking about the lice medicine, he really couldn't get it out, in order to avoid Jiang Ning's ridicule , he still shut up.

As a man, you still need to save face in front of your beloved.

The two stayed in the room for a long time, and when they were having lunch, they heard the Yang family's annoyed cry, Jiang Ning responded and was about to go out, regardless of Gu Xingzhi's life or death.

"I'm going to eat, you can go back by yourself."

That heartless look made Gu Xingzhi angry and funny, he dragged him back and bullied him a bit before letting him go: "Go."

Jiang Ning snorted and opened the door and left.

On the way back home, Gu Xingzhi restored Lin Yuan's severed five senses. When he met Jiang Ning, Lin Yuan was not allowed to peek, and asked, "In your ancient times, how did everyone get wealth? and status?"

Gu Xingzhi was a little annoyed. In this world, it seemed that someone with a high level of cultivation would have a high status.

Lin Yuan was surprised: "Hey, Boss, why are you worried about this? You can make a living in this world just by refining medicine." Although he didn't know why this history seemed to involve martial arts, it was generally That way, it is incomparable with the cultivation plane.

Gu Xingzhi also expressed his own thoughts. The medicines that the Pharmacopoeia currently allows him to refine are of relatively low grades, with little orientation, and most of them tend to be of the same kind. What's more, what he wants more is to continuously upgrade the grade in the Pharmacopoeia. , This low-end walking volume is too out of line with his style, and it is not very helpful for upgrading.

The Pharmacopoeia provided him with few herbs. First of all, he didn't have any money to buy herbs.

Lin Yuandao: "The best way to obtain a large amount of medicinal herbs is to get acquainted with powerful people. These people have them."

Based on Gu Xingzhi's situation, it's not realistic to make friends with powerful people through refining medicine now. He can do few things, and the best thing is to temporarily use his own force value as a breakthrough point.But the powerful are not so easy to see, and Gu Xingzhi's temperament is not inferior to others, so there are more considerations in this.

In the end, Gu Xingzhi decided to first understand some of the most basic conditions of this era. Lin Yuan only knew about the general situation of the transition of imperial power. These things are too far away to be useful at present.

At the dinner table, Gu Xingzhi said to Gu Qingqing, "Can I read those books later?"

"Eh?" Gu Qingqing was taken aback, "Yes, yes."

"No!" A voice cut in immediately, Gu Xingzhi looked over, it was Gu Hua from Da Fang's family.

Seeing that Gu Xingzhi was looking over, Gu Hua raised his head and said, "I bought those books, so I won't show them to you." He was revenge for Gu Xingzhi's refusal to teach him martial arts before.

Gu Xingzhi's eyes were indifferent, he only looked at him for a moment, then looked away, and said to Gu Lishi: "Grandma, Brother Datang is almost 24 now, and he still naps every day while studying, reciting an article upside down, I think it's better to let him Come home and do farm work."

During this period of time, Gu Hua stayed at home for a long time. Even though Mrs. Gu Li always believed that reading was a sacred thing and would not allow family members to disturb her easily, she knew from the occasional words she heard when delivering soup that the eldest grandson In the past, I was not as serious as I thought I was in school, and it seemed that I was really not the material for studying.

So there was a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Gu Xingzhi!" Gu Hua was furious, and there was still a fear in his heart that he didn't even realize. Although he always thought that he could read day by day, if he really wanted to stop reading, he would be at a loss. .

Gu Xingzhi remained as still as a mountain: "Can I watch it now?"

Gu Hua's anger was pale and powerless, he could only keep his head down and keep silent, Gu Xingzhi just took it as his acquiescence.

Gu Hua has a special study room with good lighting. The bookshelf is made by Gu Rongquan. There are many books on it. The inside is kept clean and tidy by Mrs. Gu Li. A stool leaned against the bed and watched.

The golden sun shines through the window on Gu Xingzhi's sculpturally handsome face. He lowers his eyes slightly and looks at the scroll in his hand. The picture is so amazing that Gu Qingqing, who came in, looks at it for a while and finds that Gu Xingzhi's reading speed is quite fast. Quickly, she walked to Gu Xingzhi's side, after thinking about it, she still chose to call her brother: "Brother, why do you suddenly want to read these books?"

She noticed that Gu Xingzhi was looking at the things to be tested in the scientific examination. It was because the books were more expensive. There were no two essays in Gu Hua's study, so Gu Xingzhi chose these. Do you want to take the imperial examination?"

"Imperial examination?" Gu Xingzhi noticed the term.

"That's right." Gu Qingqing said: "This is the only way for poor kids like us to get ahead. Brother, if you have this idea, you can try it too." Anyway, she thinks it won't be worse than Gu Hua, If you work hard, the two of you may just be in sync.

For Gu Qingqing, Gu Xingzhi is her own brother now, and of course she hopes that Gu Xingzhi will be better.

Gu Xingzhi also found the importance of the imperial examination in Gu Erlang's memory, but he still shook his head: "No, I don't have this plan for the time being."

However, it is still necessary to read some of these books. He already has a general direction for his future, and it may be useful to deal with those people.

The two exchanged a few words, but Gu Qingqing didn't persuade her anymore. After a while, Gu Hua and Sanfang's younger brother Gu Wen also came to study.

Gu Xingzhi reads books very fast, and his memory is very strong. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he can even understand the meaning of the article easily. After all, he was also a child of a family back then. Although the Canglan Continent is respected by martial arts, the heritage and connotation of the family It's not just about teaching reckless men who only know martial arts.

Regardless of their status, the children of the Gu family have to go to the clan to learn, and the masters there are all people with real talents and real learning. Even in terms of talents, Gu Xingzhi can also talk about a good piano.

After finishing another book, Gu Xingzhi closed the book and eased his eyes.
