November is not a good time to travel in the middle of winter, not to mention Gu Lekang will participate in the spring festival next year.

  Gu Xiuneng almost died of anger, "If you really don't worry, I will ask your second uncle to take him back in person. There are still four months before the Spring Festival. At this time, you should do your best to prepare for the exam."

"Grandfather, rest assured, my grandson will not delay the spring. I have read all the books that I should read in these years, and I can't see anything new in the past four months. It is better to take the opportunity to send my father back to the ancestral house to relax. ."

  It's strange that Gu Xiu can believe him, and said with a sullen face: "I don't agree with you going back, it's freezing cold, what if you get sick?"

  Gu Lekang pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, looked at him stubbornly and said, "Grandfather, if I don't send my father back in person, I will feel uneasy, I'm afraid it will be even more useless for the exam."

   "Women's benevolence!" Gu Xiuneng looked at him in disappointment and said, "Why are you as incapable of prioritizing as your father and disregarding the overall situation?"

   Now the Gu family's hopes are all on Gu Lekang, but he can't calm down and read.

  Gu Xiu can think of Gu Jingyun's performance in the court on the first day of September, and he is even more disheartened. He closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Let's go, let's go, I don't care about you anymore, let's see how you will be in the future."

  Gu Lekang knelt on the ground and gave his grandfather a kowtow before slowly retreating, turning around and heading towards the Buddhist hall.

  This time he not only took away his father, but also his mother.

   He is no longer able to intervene in the grievances between the elders, he is only responsible for filial piety and taking care of them.

Gu Lekang took Gu Huaijin and his wife out of the capital quietly. When Gu Jingyun received the news, he turned his head to look at the swirling snow outside, and then looked back at Baolu, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang eating snacks. The expression on his face slowly softened. , with a smile on the corners of his mouth.

   A carrier pigeon came flying against the wind and snow, and stayed on the bird stand under the porch. After a few "coo" calls, Li Baolu dropped the snack and jumped up, "It's master and mother!"

   Hearts carefully unpacked the letter on the pigeon's leg and sent it to Gu Jingyun.

  Li Baolu climbed from the kang to his side, watching eagerly.

  Gu Jingyun opened the letter and said with a smile, "Don't expect too much. Since they haven't come back at this time, they definitely won't be able to come back this year. My mother is weak, so she can't travel in the snow."

   Sure enough, he opened the letter, and it said that they would not go home for the Chinese New Year, so they would stay in Yazhou for the time being. The carrier pigeons reported the letter in advance, and they also sent two more specific letters through the post station, as well as some packages of local products, which are expected to arrive a few years ago.

  Li Baolu was disappointed, "Master, what are they doing in Yazhou?"

Gu Jingyun threw the letter into the brazier and burned it, and said with a chuckle, "It's fine if they don't come back, it's cold this year, and there is a hot spring courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, not far from our family's farm, we're going to live there. a period of time."

  Thinking of taking a hot spring, Li Baolu felt better. Regarding Qin Wenyin's not going home for the New Year, Qin Xinfang only sighed, "I don't want to stay in a female university", and then stopped asking.

Qingxi Academy was on winter vacation, but Guiban still needed to continue classes. The vacation didn't start until Xiaonian. Gu Jingyun arranged homework for them. The next day, he took Li Baolu, who had already packed his luggage, to the hot spring courtyard. Sister Qu Weizhen holding hands.

  No way, Zhao Ning threw himself into studying, and Yuan Niang wanted to take care of Zhao Ning, Li Baolu was really embarrassed to leave the two younger disciples to them to take care of, so she had to take them with her.

   Fortunately, the two of them are sensible and obedient, and they will take care of themselves long ago.

   Bringing the books that need to be read, the group happily went to the suburbs of Beijing.

  The prince had already transferred the people from the hot spring courtyard, and at this time, there was only an old man who was the gatekeeper and a cook.

  Gu Jingyun was very satisfied with this, and asked Hong Tao and Qing Ling to clean up the room, Nan Feng and Er Lin to carry the luggage, while he and Li Baolu took Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi to see the hot spring.

  This courtyard is halfway up the mountain. There are many hot springs on this mountain, all of which are enclosed in one courtyard after another. The Prince's courtyard contains especially large springs.

   He planted trees nearby and planted a lot of flowers. It was obviously winter, but because the temperature in the vicinity was suitable due to the geothermal heat, the flowers bloomed regardless of the season, which could be called colorful.

   Walk through a winding cobblestone path and open a wooden door to see this hot spring.

   And the hot spring is divided into three parts, and the middle is divided into three rooms by a wall made of smooth stones.

   One is for men, one is for women, and the other is piped as living water to the interior of each courtyard, allowing people to soak in hot springs indoors.

   The environment here is elegant, but it is only open air, some people may mind.

  Weizhen and Jingxi both saw the hot spring for the first time, and they were both surprised and scared when they saw the steam rising from the pool.

  Li Baolu touched their heads with a smile and said, "We'll come to the hot spring after lunch and rest for a while."

   Weizhen's eyes were shining, and she looked at the pool with some timidity and asked, "Isn't it hot?"

   "Don't worry, the temperature of the hot spring here is not very high, it's just steaming hot."

The    siblings were dubious, but they came along anyway.

   Qu Jingxi followed Gu Jingyun to the men's room, while Li Baolu took Qu Weizhen to the women's room.

  The warmth soaked into the limbs and bones, Li Baolu subconsciously used the internal force, only to feel that the already flushed face was even more hot, her internal force had gone five weeks in the body, and then stopped. I feel the fatigue of the day has disappeared.

  Li Baolu happily fluttered in the hot spring, and when she turned her head to see Weizhen's blushing face, she turned to look at the hourglass on the shore, they had been soaking for three quarters of an hour.

   She got up and said, "It's almost time, don't soak for too long the first time, let's go up."

  Qu Weizhen was very excited, "Teacher, is it true that the book says that hot soup can eliminate all diseases?"

   "Of course it's not true," Li Baolu said with a smile: "If it has such an effect, wouldn't it be an elixir? It's just that hot springs are really good for the body, and it can even regulate the weak."

When    and Zhongyonghoufu were divided, they divided a hot spring village, but the village was not in the capital, but in Baoding. Even if it took a day to drive, it was a bit far, so they had not been there yet.

  It is really useful to take a hot spring bath. Gu Jingyun's expression has dissipated since the winter.

  Children can’t soak too much. Fortunately, there is an indoor hot spring in the yard where they live, and the two of them can go to soak again at night.

  Gu Jingyun pressed Baolu on the stone steps, and said with a smile on her earlobe: "You like it so much, I'll buy a hot spring courtyard nearby, how about we can take a dip from time to time?"

  Li Baolu avoided him, stretched out his hand to support his chest, his face was blushing, "How can the other courtyard here be bought with money?" Besides, they don't even have money.

   A courtyard here will definitely not be less than 100,000 taels, and their family can't even get 10,000 taels of cash now.

   Gu Jingyun chuckled and said, "It's because I can't buy what money can buy."

   He took her lips and covered her body and said vaguely, "You just wait..."

  Li Baolu pushed him and said vaguely: "Gu Jingyun, you, this is not our home, don't mess around..."

   "You don't call me Brother Jingyun anymore. You can call me a few more times and I'll think about it."

   "...Brother Jingyun."

   Gu Jingyun's eyes darkened slightly, he held her round earlobes with a little force, and his hand reached under her clothes to hold her round, and said in a low voice, "Good sister..."

   "...Well, you don't mean anything..."

   All of Li Baolu's words were drowned in the night, and the mountain was silent, except for the occasional sound of insects and some small words.

  Li Baolu rubbed against the warm blanket, feeling that her stomach was so hungry that she had no choice but to pop her head out of the blanket.

The sun came in from the closed window, and there were only the chirping birds outside. Li Baolu just wanted to call someone when she heard slow footsteps, and she could tell who it was. Thinking of the absurdity of last night, Li Baolu hid back on the bed. , cover the whole person in the quilt.

Gu Jingyun put the tray on the table, and when he saw the quilt shaking gently, he couldn't help but grinned, stepped forward and grabbed the quilt and said, "Since you are awake, get up and take a shower, it's almost noon, first eat something to pad your stomach, We'll go down the mountain in a while to see our Zhuangzi."

  Li Baolu clutched the quilt tightly and pretended not to wake up.

   Gu Jingyun was amused when he saw it, his hand on the quilt was slightly strained, seeing that he couldn't get it off, he could only turn his eyes to the end of the bed.

   Gu Jingyun's throat moved slightly, he couldn't help but move to the end of the bed, reached in and grabbed her feet.

  Li Baolu could only stick out her head and look at him angrily.

  Gu Jingyun retracted his hand with a slight regret, and instead touched her messy head and said, "Get up, I'll be waiting for you outside."

   Gu Jingyun knew that if he stayed, she might be really annoyed and could only turn around and leave.

  Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and put on her clothes and washed.

   "This is meat porridge and some pastries. You can use some first. We will go to the farm at noon and have lunch below. By the way, let's take a look at our greenhouse."

  The farm of their family is not far from this hot spring courtyard, not far from the foot of this completely covered mountain, which can be reached by carriage in a quarter of an hour.

   But unlike the hot springs, which are worth ten thousand gold, the farm area he allocated is quite large, but the value is really not worth mentioning.

  Because the farm is large and close to the hot springs, but the land is barren and there is no good scenery.

  The village of their family even includes a small hill, not big, about ten mu, but it is covered with low shrubs, which can only be cut down for firewood by the people in the farm.

Back then, the Houfu of Zhongyong bought this land because the hot springs in the nearby mountains were hyped up to sky-high prices. They wanted to buy a piece of land nearby, and either build their own courtyard or resell the land for a fortune. , how do you know that people don't like this piece of land without hot springs at all.

   So the farm was operating at a loss every year, and Gu Xiuneng, a branch of Gu Jingyun, gave him the farm.

  Fu Dalang was living in this farm at this time.
