"Grandpa, are you here to buy something too?" Ling Bao asked familiarly.
Gao Xianqing nodded.
Looking at the big bag next to him, Ling Bao asked: "Grandpa, can you carry it? Do you want us to help you? It's a pity that my second brother didn't come, he is very strong."
The king is here, but he is in space and cannot come out.
Gao Xianqing said: "I can carry it."
Seeing Ling Bao looking at him, his unwillingness to admit defeat came up again, so he picked up the sack and tried to carry it on his shoulders.
"Crack-"
With a crisp sound, Gao Xianqing's complexion changed, his brows furrowed, and he held his waist and stopped moving.
"Grandpa, did you reach your waist?" Ling Bao asked worriedly.
Gao Xianqing: "..."
Shameful and speechless!
"I'm fine." Gao Xianqing said stubbornly, grabbing the sack with his hands and trying to pick it up even when it reached his waist, "I can do it."
Lingbao grabbed his hand suddenly and said disapprovingly: "Grandpa, don't be brave, it will be more serious."
Gao Xianqing was caught off guard and was grabbed by a junior without saying a word and was given a lecture. Gao Xianqing was a little dazed.
"Just listen to her. Your health is your first priority." Cheng Yun smiled and said, "Where do you live? We will help send you there."
Gao Xianqing hesitated: "This..."
Cheng Yun smiled and said: "It's just a little effort."
Lingbao Jiansheng echoed: "Yeah, it's easy to do with a little effort!"
The waist was really uncomfortable. Gao Xianqing thought about it and nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you."
Cheng Yun, who had long since outgrown the category of weak scholar, carried the sack. Ling Bao supported Gao Xianqing and walked slowly. Fortunately, Gao Xianqing's home was in the alley not far away.
The person who opened the door was an old lady with gray hair but who took care of herself meticulously. She was still surprised when she saw the stranger. The next moment she noticed her old man and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Gao Xianqing felt embarrassed and remained silent.
Lingbao answered on his behalf: "Grandpa has reached his waist, so we will help deliver the things back."
"Come in quickly." Grandma Gao said hurriedly.
Gao Xianqing felt better after sitting on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Bao cared about the patient very much. Instead of sitting on the chair, she stood in front of Gao Xianqing and asked seriously: "Grandpa, does your leg hurt? Do you feel numb or unable to exert strength?"
Gao Xianqing was stunned for a moment, felt it carefully and then shook his head.
"That's good, it means it's not serious." Ling Bao said with a smile, and unconsciously took a step forward, holding his knees with his little hands.
Gao Xianqing lowered his eyes and did not avoid it.
Grandma Gao on the side was a little surprised that this old man was willing to let others touch him. Could it be that the sun was rising in the west?
"You can use a cold hand towel today instead of massaging, otherwise it will get worse. Grandpa, you won't even be able to walk!" Ling Bao's expression was serious, and he kept talking. He didn't know that he thought Gao Xianqing was a disobedient bear.
Where is the child?
"Also, don't sleep on a bed that is too soft. Instead, sleep on a hard wooden bed, and put a soft pillow under your waist. It will be much more comfortable."
"If it keeps hurting, you should see a doctor." Seeing that Gao Xianqing remained silent, she tilted her head, "Grandpa, did you hear that?"
Gao Xianqing nodded and said seriously: "I heard it." He paused and then said, "Thank you very much."
Ling Bao smiled and rolled his eyes: "You're welcome, grandpa needs to take care of himself."
Gao Xianqing suddenly asked: "What did you do when you went to the state capital before?"
"My father took the college entrance examination, and we went with him."
Gao Xianqing nodded, he guessed.
It happened that at that time in the state capital, what else could it be besides the college examination.
After thinking about it, Gao Xianqing asked them to wait. He went back to the house to get a book, opened it and read it, then put it down and picked up another one, touching it lovingly.
"This is my private collection. Since your father is going to take the imperial examination, he must be able to use it."
Grandma Gao was even more surprised. The old man loved books very much, and no one except himself was allowed to touch his books.
The word "Private Collection" shows the value of this book. Cheng Yun felt that this gift was too valuable and was about to decline it when he saw the words "Zhengyan Jushi" in the book.
Everyone in the world doesn't know that Gao Xianqing's nickname is Zhengyan Jushi, which comes from Zhengshen and admonishment.
"This...are you Mr. Gao Xianqing Gao?" Cheng Yun asked excitedly.
Gao Xianqing nodded calmly and did not ask him how he recognized him.
It's not that he is arrogant. Although he failed in his career, his talent is a well-deserved leader. Nine out of ten people in the literary world have heard of his name.
"Grandpa, it turns out you are Gao Xianqing." Ling Bao couldn't help but come closer and looked at him with admiration.
Gao Xianqing's face softened unconsciously: "You also recognize me?"
Ling Bao nodded like a fool: "My eldest brother said you are amazing, and he led me to read your poems."
Gao Xianqing became interested: "Can you also write poetry?"
"I can't do it yet." Ling Bao said sheepishly, "I can only read."
Let alone writing it, I can't even taste it. I can only judge intuitively whether the poem is well written or not.
Gao Xianqing comforted him: "This is normal. You will get better when you are older."
"Really? Can I write a poem as good as yours?" Ling Bao was looking forward to it.
Gao Xianqing: "Of course."
Lingbao thought longingly for a moment, then became silly and happy.
Gao Xianqing couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and it was so fleeting that even he didn't notice it.
After learning his identity, Cheng Yun did not refuse, but repeatedly promised that he would cherish the books and never let them get dirty.
When Ling Bao left, he was still a little reluctant to leave. He held Cheng Yun's hand and turned around every step of the way: "Grandpa, my family lives in Beihe Village. Come and visit me when you have time."
It is said that Gao Xianqing hates people who talk about having fun. Cheng Yun was afraid that she would anger Gao Xianqing and wanted to explain, but Gao Xianqing said hello as usual.
After everyone left, Gao Nainai said: "Do you like that little girl so much?"
Gao Xianqing said: "She and I get along very well."
This is the most rare thing. He hasn't had such a relaxed conversation with someone for a long time.
Cheng Yun carefully stuffed the books into his arms, couldn't help but touched Ling Bao's head and said, "We Ling Bao are so lucky."
I got to know the layman Zhengyan just by kicking my feet. This is a great blessing.
Lingbao blinked, raised his head and laughed.
After returning to the grain and oil store and buying some seasonings, the two of them went home together.
After arriving home, Cheng Yun couldn't wait to look through it. He was worthy of being a Zhengyan layman, and he hit the nail on the head.
Cheng Yun was so mesmerized by the sight that he didn't even know Cheng Zhongqian was back.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Zhongqian poured a cup of tea and drank.
Cheng Yun came back to his senses and told his father. Cheng Zhongqian was stunned for a moment and came over to watch together. They became two people in a state of intoxication.
If it weren't for Ling Bao, they wouldn't even want to eat dinner.
After dinner, Cheng Yun remembered the twenty taels of silver and left five taels for household use, giving fifteen taels to Lingbao, ten taels to Xie Wuyan, and keeping the other five taels for herself.
Ling Bao took the money and rubbed it, she was so happy, she became a rich little woman!
As a result, before I was happy for a long time, it was confiscated by Cheng Zhongqian, leaving only 20 yuan as pocket money.
