"Even if his status is different now, his attitude towards us has not changed. He has always been my best friend. I sincerely wish him well and hope that he will go further and further."
His best friend is getting farther and farther away from him, and he is not unsentimental. What he has to do is to catch up until he is side by side with him, laughing and watching the clouds roll and relax together, instead of feeling decadent and alienating him from then on.
You Siyuan looked at Wang Qikai, who was rarely serious, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wang Qikai to be so open-minded.
Perhaps Gu Chengyu fell in love with Wang Qikai and the two became close friends.
He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Why didn't he want to make friends with Wang Qikai because of his personality? Gu Chengyu was lucky to have such a close friend.
Gu Chengyu went to Shopkeeper Zhou to deliver the post, and drank a lot of tea before going to his third and fourth brothers.
Their shops were not on the same street, but in opposite directions. Gu Chengyu went to Fourth Brother's place first, because he had to go to Xi's Bookstore to deliver the post.
It was Mr. Li who had been responsible for the fourth brother's marriage back then, and the fourth sister-in-law's family and shopkeeper Pan were cousins, so Gu Chengyu had to go and invite someone to sit down at the table.
"Shopkeeper Pan!" Gu Chengyu looked at Shopkeeper Pan who was busy in the shop, introducing books and negotiating prices. The look of reluctance and pain on his face remained unchanged.
Shopkeeper Pan thought it was some scholar who asked him to get the book, but when he looked up, it turned out to be Gu Chengyu.
"Ah! It's such a rare visitor. Master Ju Ren also has time to come to my shop? Are you back from the capital?"
Shopkeeper Pan was very surprised and pleasantly surprised to see Gu Chengyu, and hurriedly welcomed him out of the shop.
"Are you here to laugh at me too? Don't leave the shop now, your shop is busy! I'm here to deliver a post, and I also invite you to come home for a drink in ten days."
Gu Chengyu saw that the business in the shop seemed to be much better than before, so he quickly took a few steps forward and delivered the post to the counter.
"Come in and sit down. You will really make the shop shine if you come in person!" Shopkeeper Pan quickly asked to let him in politely.
Gu Chengyu waved his hands repeatedly and said that he still had something to do today and would talk about it in a few days. Shopkeeper Pan had no choice but to let it go!
Walking forward to the farthest point, which is the fourth brother's medical clinic, Gu Chengyu did not take the carriage and ordered Ming Yan to drive the carriage to the fourth brother's place and wait.
And he walked over slowly to enjoy this rare leisurely moment.
"Juren? Is this scholar a scholar? He looks young! I heard that our Jingyuan Prefecture won three prizes this year. Is this one of them?"
A scholar heard Shopkeeper Pan's greeting, and after Gu Chengyu left, he quickly asked Shopkeeper Pan for confirmation.
"Isn't that true? This is the youngest Jie Yuan in the Dayan Dynasty. Our whole Jingyuan Prefecture may not be able to win even one of the provincial examinations in several provincial examinations. This year we are proud and proud."
Shopkeeper Pan was full of pride when he talked about this. This Juren was a relative of his family!
"What? You look so young! Is this really Gu Jieyuan, who is famous in the capital? He still looks like a young boy!"
Gu Chengyu and the others were not the only students who went to the capital to take the provincial examination, but they all failed, which is a common occurrence.
Shopkeeper Pan boasted to everyone again and said that Gu Chengyu had liked buying and reading books at his bookstore since he was a child, which actually made his bookstore famous.
After that, even scholars from the next town and county came to his bookstore to buy books, just to see Jieyuan's style or to make friends with Gu Jieyuan.
Shopkeeper Pan was so happy that he smiled crookedly and counted his money at home every night.
Even though the price of books has increased, those people still come to buy them one after another.
Among them, the poems written by Gu Chengyu were included in poetry albums. These poetry albums have long been sold out, and shopkeeper Pan even increased the price of the poetry albums.
Even shopkeeper Pan did not expect the book buying frenzy triggered this time. Perhaps this is the so-called celebrity effect.
These are all things for the future, let’s not mention them for now.
Gu Chengyu led Ming Mo to his fourth brother's medical clinic along the not-so-wide street.
The name of the medical clinic is Jishitang, and the shop is not big. Gu Chengyu waited outside for a while and found that the business of the medical clinic was so-so.
His fourth brother's medical skills are still good, but he is too young and others dare not believe him.
Gu Chengyu remembered the medical books in space, and planned to wait for his fourth brother to come back, then copy the medical books and give them to him, and let him and Mr. Li study them carefully.
Of course, Gu Chengyu would definitely not take out those books that required the use of medicinal materials in space.
He only planned to find one or two books, and he had to take them out slowly or take out several at once, and he couldn't explain the source.
After entering the shop, Gu Chengyu took a look at the medicine cabinet and found that his fourth brother was taking medicine for someone.
He hadn't been to the shop yet. It looked like the place for taking medicine and taking the pulse should be in the same place. There were tables and stools next to it, but he didn't see the fourth sister-in-law.
"Fourth brother!"
Gu Chengchi heard the sound, glanced back, and then shouted in surprise: "Xiaobao? When did you come back?"
"I just came back. You take the medicine first and talk about it later." Gu Chengyu found a chair inside and sat down.
Gu Chengchi glanced at the medicine bag in his hand, only half of it was caught, and quickly speeded up.
"Okay! Go back and do as I say. Your mother's illness will be cured in a short time."
Gu Chengchi wrapped the medicine bag and handed it to the man who was waiting to grab the medicine.
"Doctor Gu, I have to pay on credit today. My family really has no money. We have been out of food since yesterday. I'm afraid it will take a few days to pay for the medicine."
The man was so suppressed that his face turned red and he was too embarrassed to look at Gu Chengchi's face.
He had already paid on credit for three days, and now that he had to borrow money again, he felt shameless.
Gu Chengchi frowned when he heard this, "Then take it back first and pay it back when you have it! If you don't insist on taking medicine for your mother's illness, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Gu Chengchi paused and then said: "In the past three days plus today, the total is 800 cents. I have already given you a little less. Don't publicize it outside. I didn't earn you a cent, but I paid you back."
He passed on the medicinal materials I collected from the mountains."
I have to make it clear that credit is credit. Most of the people who come here to see a doctor are poor people. Those who have money go to big medical clinics in towns or counties. Who is willing to come to his small shop?
He also opened a medical clinic in order to retain some business, only to realize that business was not doing well.
There is always no business, and the rent for the shop in the back is lost, not to mention all the medicinal materials and utensils.
The man hurriedly bent down and thanked me, and promised to pay him back as soon as he had money. He took the medicine bag and thanked me, and then left.
When the man said he had no money just now, Gu Chengyu observed the man. Judging from his clothes, he was indeed from a poor family.
However, knowing people but not their hearts, who knows whether he is deliberately pretending to be poor? Not to mention that there are not such people, there are many people who are greedy for petty gains in the world.
Besides, for ordinary people, 800 yuan is quite a lot.
"Daughter-in-law! Come and pour tea, Xiaobao is here!" Gu Chengchi happily shouted to the backyard of the shop.
