Ultimately, An Junwang didn't see Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao had already gone home and the two of them missed each other perfectly.
An Junwang sat back in the carriage with regret.
Gu Jiao first went to Imperial Academy and took Little Jing Kong home. Xiao Liulang had an evening class, so he didn't return home with them.
The atmosphere within the Imperial Academy had been so tense recently that even Gu Jiao, a layman, was able to feel it. It seemed that everyone was somewhat nervous about meeting the Emperor.
Originally, the palace exam was held in the first half of the fourth month, but it was reportedly postponed to the second half because of the visit of the State of Liang’s envoys.
The ideology of the people in the capital was different from that of the people in the countryside. The hot topic they discussed every day wasn’t whose chickens had laid eggs again, whose family’s pig had given birth again, which millet should be harvested, or which wheat should be cut... People in the capital were very concerned about the current situation in the capital, even Uncle Zhao next door knew that another state’s envoys had entered the capital.
In ancient times, because of the inconvenience of transportation, diplomatic contacts were not as frequent as in her previous lives, but they did occur every three or two years.
The six states also had divisions. The State of Liang belonged to the upper three countries while the State of Zhao belonged to the lower three countries. The State of Liang's status was much higher than that of the State of Zhao, so it wasn’t surprising that the imperial court attached great importance to the visit of Liang's envoys.
But none of this had anything to do with Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao took Little Jing Kong back to Bishui Alley.
"Jing Kong, is school over? Big sister went to pick you up?" Aunt Liu, who was drying clothes at the door, teased Little Jing Kong.
Little Jing Kong jumped and said, "That’s right, Aunt Liu! JiaoJiao picked me up from school!"
Whenever Xiao Liulang sent Little Jing Kong home, Little Jing Kong always hung his head low with an unwilling look, as though he was just forcibly dragged away by people.
But whenever Gu Jiao took his little hand home, he was full of energy, bouncing around, acting like he was a villain who wanted to drag Gu Jiao back to his den!
He was very smug about it.
Gu Jiao also greeted Aunt Liu before bringing Little Jing Kong into their house.
Today, Old Chief wasn’t at home, and Grannie Fang was also out to buy some fabric and clothes for the family. Yao shi was in the house waiting for Gu Yan, waiting until she fell asleep.
Little Jing Kong quietly opened a small gap in the door, poked in his small head and looked inside. Seeing Yao shi asleep, he was very careful not to disturb Yao shi.
He gingerly made his way back to Gu Jiao, his small hand covering his small mouth as he whispered, "JiaoJiao, Madame is asleep."
"En." Gu Jiao replied and asked him, "Do you have any homework?"
"I've already finished them!" Little Jing Kong quietly spread his hands.
Gu Jiao rubbed his little head, "Then play by yourself for a while, I'll cook our dinner."
"Okay!" Little Jing Kong nodded obediently.
He is a sensible child and would never pester JiaoJiao to play with him all the time. Besides, he did have his own things to do.
Big brother Yan asked for a day off today.
... It was strange, why did he ask for a day off?
In short, Little Jing Kong had to shovel chicken poop himself.
Little Jing Kong grabbed his own small shovel, scooped up a handful of sand, and began to clean up the chicken poop in the yard as well as Little Nine’s bird poop.
Because he hadn’t done this for a long time, his work was a little rusty.
Little Jing Kong spent a long time cleaning the chicken poop in the yard, "Oh, I'm exhausted!"
Because of the rain, the chickens had been shut in the cage for a while, and now that the rain had stopped, Little Jing Kong decided to take them for a walk.
Little Jing Kong's route for walking his chickens had been extended from Bishui Alley to the orchard, mainly because there was a lot of grass in the orchard, and the chickens could eat the bugs and other things in the grasses there, which could let him save the chicken food at home.
He was a diligent and frugal boy!
Seven chickens lined up and went out of the gate, followed by a puppy and a little falcon.
Generally speaking, birds could fly and jump, but not walk.
However, the little falcon walked so well!
Indeed worthy of being a baby bird raised by chickens!
As for Little Eight, it had also been successfully upgraded. It was no longer a small puppy who had accomplished nothing. Now, it was a noble chicken herding dog!
It would protect its little master and its little master's little chickens at all costs!
Little Eight, with his head held high, marched outside the house!
When Little Jing Kong slipped the chickens into the orchard, there seemed to be a drizzle falling from the sky .
"Alright, we're going home!" Little Jing Kong said to his little army.
Seven chickens, a baby falcon and a puppy turned a corner in an orderly manner and followed Little Jing Kong, walking back in a neat and tidy formation.
Suddenly, Little Jing Kong felt a darkness over his head and a fragrant breeze hit his nose.
He was small, and the first thing he saw was the place that was level with his sight. It was a white skirt, spotless and clean.
Then he raised his little head and saw a veiled hat.
The girl wearing the veiled hat had her body slightly bent over, so that the fragrance became stronger.
She smelled good, but Little Jing Kong still preferred JiaoJiao’s scent.
He looked curiously at the girl who suddenly blocked himself, and politely asked her, "Can I help you? Why are you blocking my way?"
The girl with the veiled hat asked softly, "Little one, do you know which house Xiao Liulang lives in?"
Little Jing Kong looked her up and down.
......Actually, he couldn't see anything. She covered herself too tightly.
"Who are you?" Little Jing Kong asked.
Instead of answering his words, the girl in the veiled hat took out her hand holding a stick of candied haws from behind her and gently coaxed him, "As long as you tell me where Xiao Liulang's home is, I will give you this stick of candied haws."
Little Jing Kong loved candied haws.
But Little Jing Kong wasn’t in a hurry to get it. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Give me the candied haws first, and I'll answer you."
"Good." The girl in the veiled hat smiled and generously gave him the stick of candied haws.
Little Jing Kong took the candied haws and said, "I don't know."
The girl in the veiled hat was stunned, "What did you say?"
Little Jing Kong replied innocently, "My answer to your question! I don't know where his home is!"
He really didn’t know!
Their home was JiaoJiao’s. His bad brother-in-law was just a temporary brother-in-law, he hadn't been officially recognized yet! How could he know where his bad brother-in-law's home was?
Little Jing Kong licked the candied haws and walked away.
The girl in the veiled hat was shaking with anger.
In fact, what she wanted to inquire about was the whereabouts of Gu Jiao, but she thought that women were generally not the head of the household, so she mentioned her husband’s name instead.
"Little brat, you dare to fool me?"
With a cold look in her eyes, she reached out her hand and coldly grabbed Little Jing Kong's shoulder!
Little Eight jumped up with fright and stuck upright against the wall, its dog paws covering its eyes!
Just then, the baby falcon swished its now thick-feathered wings open and soar into the air.
The ferocity in the bones of gyrfalcons was thoroughly aroused at this moment. Instead of pecking the girl's hand, it aimed directly into the girl's hat!Raz P.'s Thoughts
