Chapter 82 First Place

Gu Jingyun curled up into a small ball, sitting in the corner of the wall next to him, his arms wrapped around his calves, his little face buried between his knees, only his eyes showing, his eyelids drooping, looking listless.

There were only a few people walking in front of the academy, it was particularly desolate and quiet.

The little guy looked particularly pitiful.

Su Wan quickly stepped forward, squatted in front of Gu Jingyun, and asked softly: "Jingyun, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something?"

Gu Jingyun snorted and turned his head to the side.

Su Wan held Gu Jingyun's little head and straightened it. His black and bright eyes were half soaked with tears, and his little nose was also red. Su Wan was stunned.

Gu Jingyun broke free from Su Wan's hand, raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and angrily didn't look at her.

"I'm late, Jingyun, I'm sorry, can you forgive me again?" Su Wan couldn't bear to see the little guy's tears. Since she came through, she had never seen him cry. Except for the sullen face at the beginning, she was smiling afterwards.

When she sent him to the academy, she promised to meet him at the door. Because of business matters, she delayed time and left him here alone.

"Don't cry, I was wrong. Jingyun can punish me however he wants."

Gu Jingyun calls himself a little man. He doesn't cry even if he bleeds. He despises people who cry the most.

When he came out happily today, he didn't see Su Wan. All the others were taken away by their families.

He wanted to leave angrily, but was afraid that Su Wan wouldn't see him, so he was anxious to find someone.

This wait lasted nearly half an hour.

Su Wan coaxed him softly, and Gu Jingyun suddenly felt very wronged. His eyes didn't look like his own anymore. He didn't listen to him at all, and his tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Jingyun, Yunyun, second brother?"

Su Wan had never taken care of a child before, and was a little at a loss. She took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"You lied... woo woo..." Gu Jingyun couldn't help crying as soon as he opened his mouth. He felt so ashamed that he pursed his lips tightly and buried his red face in his legs.

Su Wan sat beside him, hugged Gu Jingyun in his arms, and gently touched his head: "There were too many chores today, so I didn't pay attention to the time. How about we buy candied haws and small candy men later?"

"I'm not a child, I don't want to eat candied haws and candy men!" Gu Jingyun raised his head suddenly, his little face was covered with tears, and his small double eyelids were crying into single eyelids. He pouted and said in a muffled voice: "I don't blame you."

Gu Jingyun understood that his sister-in-law was busy making money, but the entrance examination was a big deal, and he wanted to see her first and share it with her. He was very disappointed that he didn't see her, and he was a little stubborn.

"Our Jingyun is a little adult."

"Second brother!" Gu Jingyun corrected.

"..."

Su Wan lowered his eyes.

The two of them stared at each other.

Su Wan sighed: "Second brother, let's go."

Gu Jingyun wiped his face with his sleeves and walked beside Su Wan unhappily. Seeing the red strings of candied haws not far away, with a thin layer of sugar slices shining in the sun, he secretly swallowed his saliva, pretending not to want to eat at all, and lowered his head with no interest.

How could Su Wan not know the little guy's thoughts? It was to save money for her!

She bought four strings of candied haws and stuffed them into Gu Jingyun's hands: "You share with your sister."

Gu Jingyun was stunned, staring at the candied haws in his hand. He looked up at Su Wan again, her face was filled with a gentle smile, his eyes began to heat up again, he held the stick tightly, stretched out his tongue and carefully licked the candied haws.

The sweet taste poured into his heart.

"Sister-in-law, have one, it's so sweet!" Gu Jingyun handed over a string of candied haws and said with a stern face: "I'll just have one string, eating too much candy will cause tooth decay."

Su Wan didn't take it, but bent down and bit off the small hawthorn on the top, and said with curved eyebrows: "I'll just have one to try."

Gu Jingyun smiled with his lips pursed.

The two walked back to the clinic together.

Gu Jingyun finished a string of candied haws, pulled Su Wan's sleeve, and said with two knotted eyebrows: "Don't you want to ask me if I did well in the exam?"

"Your brother said that you are very good at studying and you will definitely be admitted to Xihe Academy." Su Wan was afraid that Gu Jingyun didn't perform well and hurt his heart, so she waited for him to say it himself.

"But I said I want to get the first place." Gu Jingyun sighed "Ah", and said in a mature manner: "I seem to have failed the exam. There are all brothers older than me. I didn't do a good job in the article. I lost my previous level and I definitely won't get the first place."

"???"

The previous level?

What was the previous level?

Su Wan didn't dare to ask.

She comforted him, "It's okay. They are much older than you and have to study for a few more years. It's understandable that you didn't pass the exam."

Gu Jingyun sighed again, "It would be too embarrassing if I can't get into the top 20."

Su Wan: "..."

Brother, at your age, if you get into the top 50, you can be called a child prodigy!

——

Su Mixue has left.

Su Wan asked Gu Jingyun to play in the backyard.

Maybe because he really didn't do well in the exam, the little guy has been depressed.

"Su girl, that is the crown princess. She knelt down to beg you. If you don't agree, will it really be okay?" Doctor Zhou was very worried. He was flattered that such a person appeared in the clinic.

But what happened next scared him so much that he didn't even dare to show his face in the pharmacy and went to see patients with his medicine box.

He asked again, "Are you really sisters?"

If so, is it Su Wan's biological father who is sick?

Zhou Langzhong thought of him revealing the imperial edict. Su Wan's obviously cold aura was obvious, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"I guess so." Su Wan didn't want to mention the people from Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, it was too disappointing, so he told Zhou Langzhong: "If Su Mixue comes again, don't pay attention to her, just let her come to me."

"Okay." Zhou Langzhong hesitated, and finally didn't reveal Su Wan's scar.

Su Wan brought up the business: "General Zhao placed an order for 10,000 bottles of medicine for injuries. I can't handle it alone. You hire a few people who know medical theory. I plan to find a house to open a workshop in the afternoon."

"I hired two medicine boys, both of whom know medical theory. They will come tomorrow. You can take a look at it then? If you think it's feasible, arrange them in the workshop?"

"No problem."

After solving the problem of manpower, Su Wan took Gu Jingyun to find a house.

After running for most of the day, he didn't see anyone he liked.

Su Wan was exhausted and took Gu Jingyun back to Xinghua Village.

Smoke from Gu's kitchen rose, and the aroma of food wafted out. Su Wan realized that she was hungry.

Gu Huaizhi put the dishes on the table and looked at the two tired people: "Wash your hands and eat."

Su Wan was sweating: "I'll take a shower first."

Gu Huaizhi watched her carry her clothes to the bathhouse, and looked at Gu Jingyun calmly: "What delayed you to go home so late?"

Gu Jingyun put the candied haws in the bowl, and said while washing his hands: "Sister-in-law wants to find a house to set up a workshop. If there is no house that suits her, she may go again tomorrow."

Gu Huaizhi frowned slightly and stared at the direction of the bathhouse thoughtfully.

——

Su Mixue knelt for two quarters of an hour, and her knees were red and swollen.

Qing Huan knelt on the ground and applied medicine to Su Mixue, while telling Su Mixue about Su Wan's movements: "The eldest lady is looking for a house today, and wants to rent it to open a workshop. Her brother-in-law is taking the entrance examination for the academy today. I spent some time to find out that he got the first place."

"First place?" Su Mixue thought carefully, Gu Jingyun is only eight years old? She sneered: "You go and take care of it and knock him down."

"Yes." Qing Huan applied the medicine and immediately hurried to do it.

Su Mixue stared at her white and smooth knees, and a purple-red bruise on it looked shocking.

Her face twisted for a moment, and she would let Su Wan know the consequences of offending her.

This is just the beginning.
