Chapter 4 Changes in People's Hearts

Everyone focused on Old Man Wu who had just woken up. Old Mrs. Wu personally served Old Man Wu to eat a bowl of noodles. After seeing Old Man Wu’s energetic spirit, he completely felt relieved.

Old Mrs. Wu was naturally extremely grateful to Gu Jin. She was so stingy that she was rare to be generous. She directly took out a piece of silver worth more than three taels of silver to give to Gu Jin as a medical treatment. Gu Jin's smile became even more beautiful when she saw the silver. Ordinary doctors can actually only cost a few hundred dollars to visit. These three taels of silver are already a lot of money.

It was already dusk when Gu Jin left the Gu family. The sky was half bright and not dark, and there was still the sunset in the sky, but the sun had disappeared behind the majestic walls of the house. The light purple glow was like a fairy's silk, covering the end of the sky, making this ancient capital so beautiful that it was dazzling.

However, such beautiful scenery often appears, so that people who are busy on the streets and alleys are too lazy to take a look at the beautiful scenery.

The smoke from every household began to rise, the fragrance of food wafted in the alley, and there were men carrying water chatting by the well platform, and the children were running around holding the simple windmills they made, as if all the smell of fireworks in the world was condensed in this moment, which made people feel warm and sad.

Gu Jin just carried the medicine box forward, and the medicine box was a little pressed, so he wanted to carry the medicine box on his back. Unexpectedly, a child suddenly ran over from behind him and hit Gu Jin. The child fell to the ground and started crying.

Gu Jin was shocked. He didn't expect such an accident. He quickly turned around and saw a little girl of five or six years old sitting on the ground, wearing a slightly old water-red dress, with a fat and round face. The girl closed her eyes and cried loudly, her face covered with tears.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Is it hurt when I fell?" Gu Jin said hurriedly, then squatted down to see if the girl was injured.

The little girl was not injured. Although she sat on her butt, it only hurt.

After checking up and down, Gu Jin felt relieved when he saw that the little girl was fine. When he saw that the little girl cried, Gu Jin took out a purse from his sleeve, took out a purse, opened it, and several pine nut candy were poured into Gu Jin's hands.

"If you don't cry, will I give you candy?" Gu Jin shook the little girl with pine nut candy and said with a smile.

When I heard that there was candy, the little girl stopped crying. Her big eyes were still stained with tears and moved with the pine nut candy. Candy is a good thing in the eyes of children. Usually, only during the Chinese New Year and the holidays would buy some food at home. I thought of the sweet taste, and the little girl also smashed her mouth a few times.

Gu Jin smiled again when he saw this. He stuffed a candy into the girl's mouth, then reached out to take out a handkerchief to wipe the girl's crying face. He didn't think it was dirty, and he used the candy to tease the little girl with the candy. After a while, the girl smiled happily.

"What are you doing? Let my sister go!" A seven or eight-year-old boy rushed over from the entrance of the alley. Seeing Gu Jin holding the little girl, he shouted viciously to Gu Jin.

"Brother, candy," the little girl smiled in Gu Jin's arms. When she saw her brother, she spread her hands. There were a few pine nut candies that Gu Jin had just given her. She said to the little boy like a treasure, her voice was soft and very well-behaved.

The sugar melted a little, and some were sticky on the little girl's hands, but the little girl seemed to offer treasures.

"Xing'er, come here for me, aren't you allowed to ignore people you don't know? Why are you not obedient at all!" The little boy saw Tang without any happy expression. He glared at Gu Jin again vigilantly and scolded the little girl fiercely.

The little girl pouted, but she still struggled to get out of Gu Jin's arms. Gu Jin took the opportunity to put her on the ground, and the little girl ran to the boy.

"Idiot, I was abducted by a kidnapper one day. When you cry!" The little boy poked the little girl's head hard, glared at Gu Jin again. Seeing that Gu Jin had no intention of coming, he led the aggrieved little girl home.

Gu Jin kept watching the two children walk into the door of the family. He stood there for a moment before sighing.

My brother used to protect her like this. At that time, she was still young. Her brother and she had twins. They were the same age. However, every time she went out, her brother would hold her hand, for fear that she would be abducted and sold.

Yes, he was actually her at that time. At that time, his brother was named Gu Jin, and her brother was Gu Ying. His brother was a boy, but she was a daughter.

My brother always calls out to Ying'er, saying that he will be the top scorer when he grows up, and help Ying'er find a good husband to marry. If the married husband dares to treat her badly, his brother will beat her husband hard.

Back then, she didn't know what marriage was, nor did she know what husband was, but she knew what the top scorer was. Her father said that the top scorer was a person with good knowledge and good knowledge, a high-ranking official, a very powerful and powerful official.

My mother said that my brother was smart and would definitely be able to take the top scorer in the future, to glorify his ancestors, and earn a royal title for my mother.

When I said this, my mother's eyes shone with expectations.

Gu Ying was very envious. She also wanted to be a big and big official, so she pestered her father and said that she also wanted to take the top scorer. After hearing this, her father laughed.

"My family's Ying'er is also smart, but my daughter's family can't get the top scorer. It's a pity that you have such a smart little head, otherwise we must have two top scorers."

Yes, Gu Ying is really smart. When she was a child, she often read with her brother. The articles that her brother had difficulty memorizing were too difficult. She could repeat them all by just listening to them once. Her brother was very surprised at first, but after a long time, she began to be unhappy. After she recited the articles, her brother would curl his lips disdainfully.

"Hmph, what can you do if you can memorize it? You are not a girl who loses money, and you will be able to live around the pot in the future!" The brother sneered.

At that time, my brother had already passed the Tongsheng exam and was about to take the exam for the scholar. Everyone praised his brother as a prodigy and the reincarnation of Wenquxing. His mother was even more doting on his brother.

My brother is no longer the brother who protects her. Gu Ying could even feel that his brother hated her, and his disgust for her intelligence and never forget her. Gradually, Gu Ying also understood her brother's feelings. Since then, she has only studied secretly and never showed any of it in front of her brother.
