Chapter 346 White Lie
Half an hour later.
Gu Chan and others finally returned to Zhongyuan Medical Center safely.
As soon as they came back, everyone in the medical center gathered around them, hugging them and crying.
No one is more worried about this border war than them.
For them, Gu Chan and others are like family members. How can they not care about them?
The ones who cried the most were Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.
At this moment, the two of them were holding Gu Chan, one on the left and the other on the right, crying. Their tears had soaked Gu Chan's collar.
Gu Chan said with a look of helplessness, "Okay, please stop crying. Everyone has been crying all this time, and those who don't know thought you were crying in mourning! We have returned victorious this time, everyone should be happy That's right."
"Gu Chan is right, stop crying and be happy," Zhang Wanshan said, stopping his tears.
Ding Meihua came forward and quickly stretched out her hand to pull Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue away.
After the two sobbed for a while, they stopped crying and finally smiled on their faces.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Gu Chan asked Ma Zheng to carry the gold box into the lobby, open it, and then said to everyone, "The emperor rewarded me with fifty thousand taels of gold this time and divided it among them. In the future, there will be fourteen thousand taels left. Now I will take out four thousand taels and divide them equally among everyone.”
“Thank you, shopkeeper.”
“Shopkeeper, we will follow you later. I’m sure you won’t leave.”
“That’s right! You have a bright future with the shopkeeper.”
Everyone was so happy that they all flattered Gu Chan.
Gu Chan laughed happily. With a wave of her hand, she immediately asked Ma Zheng to take out four thousand taels of gold and distributed them equally to everyone in the hospital except Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue.
Then Gu Chan pulled the two of them and said, "As the mistresses of this family, you two don't have to share it. I'll give you these ten thousand taels of gold. You can choose on your own. Anyway, this whole thing will happen in the future." I have to leave the house to you."
"What do you mean? Didn't you come back after winning the battle?"
"Yes! I just came back!"
Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue were both smart, and they clearly heard that there was something wrong with Gu Chan's words, so they both asked.
At this moment, their thoughts were not focused on the ten thousand taels of gold, but all their thoughts were on Gu Chan.
Everyone in the medical center also looked at Gu Chan, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.
You know, from the beginning, Gu Chan has been the backbone of this family. Whenever she is not around, everyone will live in fear every day. Once she comes back, everyone will feel full of security.
So no one in the hospital wanted her to leave.
Gu Chan did not hide anything. She told everyone everything about the emperor sending her to the south of the Yangtze River to make money and rescue the border.
After everyone understood, they all nodded in relief.
Of course, Gu Chan did not immediately tell the emperor the half-year time limit given by him, for fear of worrying everyone.
Facts also proved that her approach was right.
Zhang Wanshan took the lead and said, "Gu Chan, since the emperor trusts you so much and has given you an official position and asked you to go to Jiangnan to make money, you can just go. Anyway, this is to revitalize the border, there is nothing wrong with it."
< br>"Yes! We all came from the border. Think about how poor we were at that time! We couldn't even eat meat and vegetables. If you go and get money this time, you can make the border better and everyone can Wearing warm clothes and having enough food is a great merit!" Ding Meihua said with a smile. Everyone also followed suit and drank.
The six of Wei Xing stood aside without saying a word, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If everyone knew that the emperor had given a time limit this time. If Gu Chan couldn’t get an astronomical sum of money after half a year, he would have to kill everyone, I don’t know if everyone would still think about it. Would you agree so much with Gu Chan going to Jiangnan?
Gu Chan pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Okay, then I will listen to everyone. Then I went to Jiangnan and worked hard to get money to revive the border."
"Na Wan'er , Ziyue, hurry up and get some wine and food, and prepare a banquet. Let's celebrate tonight and greet them after their triumphant return." Zhang Wanshan waved happily.
Ouyang Wan'er and Ziyue nodded in agreement, and immediately took a few old ladies to the kitchen and started cooking.
Others helped Gu Chan move the things from the carriage outside into the hospital, and arranged for the eight mysterious beasts to go to the large animal room behind the hospital, and lit charcoal basins for them. He warmed the fire, gave them food and drink, and took good care of them.
Gu Chan and the others took some time off, sitting in the lobby to warm themselves by the fire and rest.
At this time, Lao Bai walked down from the second floor.
Gu Chan quickly stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
After Lao Bai waved to her and motioned for her to sit down, he walked to sit next to her, and then said to her, "When are you going to Jiangnan?"
"Three days later. Come on! In these three days, we still need to make preparations, and we have to hide our identity in the name of the caravan." Gu Chan said.
Lao Bai nodded quietly, reached into his sleeve and took out a letter, and handed it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan asked doubtfully, "Master, what is this?"
"When you arrive in Jiangnan, if you encounter a strong man who you can't deal with, take this letter and go to Jiangnan Xiaoyaomen The old lady hidden inside is my old sweetheart when I was young. For my sake, she might help you," Lao Bai said seriously.
Gu Chan immediately looked at him with wide eyes.
Wei Xing sat aside and joked with a playful smile, "Okay! I really can't tell! Old man, you were very romantic when you were young, but you actually have an old sweetheart in Jiangnan."
" You are underestimating this old man. He must have been handsome and charming when he was young, and he must have charmed thousands of girls!" Renyin said jokingly.
The four of them, Xue Lihua, covered their mouths and snickered, extremely happy.
Lao Bai rolled his eyes at them, and then said to Gu Chan, "Remember, that old woman has a bad temper. When you go to find her, be coaxing and don't annoy her, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."< br>
"Master, can't you just go with us directly?" Gu Chan said, spreading her hands.
“Oh! I’m getting older, and my old bones can’t stand the torment anymore, and I’ve lived here for a while, and my life is quite comfortable. I already like it here, and I’m really willing to do it in the future. Stay with everyone, treat illnesses and save people, and I'm too lazy to mess around with you young people," Lao Bai said with a long sigh.
Gu Chan nodded noncommittally, "Okay, before I leave, I'll leave you some more homework and I'll check it when I come back."
"Hurry up! I've learned all division methods. It's almost done." Lao Bai urged him angrily.
“Why are you so anxious? Mathematics is endless. You have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are also fractions, square roots, geometry, multiplication of two digits by squares, multiplication of three digits by squares, etc.!” Gu Changuai said with a smile.
Lao Bai’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it. He was like a learning machine, wanting to absorb knowledge crazily.
Seeing that he was so eager to learn, Gu Chan stopped talking nonsense and immediately went back to the room with him and continued to explain to him the theoretical knowledge about fractions.
