Quick Wear: True and False Life

"Well, I don't know the origin of this child, but he looks quite handsome." Gu Gao led Erniu and Xiaobao, who had washed their hands, to the kitchen to eat.

"Mom, is this a little sister or a little brother?" Erniu asked as she and Xiaobao held the bowl and stretched their heads to look at Gu Nan.

"Mother doesn't know either. I'll check when I change his clothes later. Eat quickly, and then your sister will eat." Gu Gao sat down and said.

After dinner, Gu Nan was too sleepy to open her eyes, so she was carried to the kang by Gu Gaoshi and fell asleep, and she covered her with a thin blanket. Gu Gaoshi took the three children to the main room and went to clean up the kitchen.

"Come here, come to me." Chang Le waved and said as he saw the three children come in. Chang Le carefully looked at the faces of the three children, combined with the birth dates given by Gu Changshan, and pondered for a while.

"Gu Danzhu," Chang Le pointed at the girl.

"Gu Danmu" pointed at Erniu again.

"Xiaobao is named Gu Yaowu. I hope Xiaobao will be healthy and safe." Chang Le looked at Xiaobao, reached out and took out a small peach wood gourd from his arms and gave it to Xiaobao.

Gu Changshan knew from Chang Le's actions that something was wrong with Xiao Bao, and asked anxiously: "Master?"

"It's okay. Just find a red string to hang on Xiaobao and don't lose it."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Gu Changshan felt relieved after hearing this. Taoist Priest Chang Le said this, which meant that there was no danger to his life.

After this matter was settled, Chang Le talked about finding someone to help, mainly because he had picked up a baby as his apprentice and now he was no longer alone like before, so if one person was well fed the whole family would not be hungry.

"I picked up a baby girl on the road when I was out on business. I calculated that we had a destiny as a master and apprentice, so it would be difficult to give her away. I planned to ask Gu Gao to find someone to cook and wash clothes for me, fifteen cents a day." Chang Le simply expressed his thoughts.

"Master, please sit for a while. I will take the child out and explain to his mother." Gu Changshan said.

"Mother of the child, take the gourd from Xiaobao's hand, and find a rope to string it together and hang it around his neck at night. The important thing now is that Taoist Chang Le wants to find someone to cook and wash clothes. Do you think there is a suitable candidate?" Gu Changshan said as he handed the gourd in Xiaobao's hand to Gu Gao.

"Let me think about it." Gu Chang thought about it. This job was easy and free. If you work hard, you can do a lot of your own things. Besides, you don't want money. The eldest daughter can cook and wash. Let the Taoist priest take care of Xiaobao. It would be good for Xiaobao to learn some words before going to private school! If the two daughters can learn some words like Xiaobao, it will be easier to find a husband.

"Boss, our eldest girl can do it at the age of nine! She goes up the mountain to chop firewood every morning and does the laundry and cooking for the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is much older than our grandfather and has extensive knowledge. I don't want to charge any money, but let Xiaobao learn a few words with the Taoist priest in advance to increase his knowledge. Do you think the Taoist priest will agree?" After saying this, Gu Gao was quite nervous, fearing that her request was too excessive and Taoist priest Changle would not be happy.

Gu Changshan thought more deeply. He hoped that the child could learn some life-saving skills. After all, the eldest girl had a different background. If her background was revealed, the whole family would suffer. He was afraid that Taoist Chang Le would not be happy! After thinking about it for a while, he thought it was worth a try, so he said, "I'll discuss it with the Taoist."

In fact, Chang Le has some skills. When listening to what the Gu couple said, he also thought about it privately. This method is still feasible. After all, his limited money is also a problem.

"Master, can I discuss the matter of hiring someone?" Gu Changshan returned to the main room and sat down, his face flushed, and he spoke nervously while puffing up his breath.

"You talk, I'm listening." Chang Le knew what was going on. He picked up the big bowl of tea, took a sip, put it down, and said calmly.

"Master, what do you think of the girl? Although she is only nine years old, she must know how to do housework."

"Haha... you are playing tricks on me. I know you well. What are your conditions? Tell me."

"Ha...ha...I knew you heard what my wife said, but you didn't even bother to be polite to the Taoist priest. You have some ulterior motives. I want my three children to learn some survival skills from the Taoist priest."

"Isn't your wife literate? A maidservant of a family is well-mannered and knowledgeable enough in this country. It's not for the girl, is it?"

"You are really amazing, Taoist priest. You should know that I brought the girl back from abroad. Her mother doesn't know. Her exact origin is that of the young lady's child. She was attacked and had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth. In order to save the child, the mother's dead child was exchanged for her. I hope Taoist priest can show her a way out. I am afraid that something will go wrong and she will lose her life like the young lady."

Speaking of Gu Gao, she was sold into slavery by her family when she was young, and eventually came to the young lady of the Xiao family, serving her from her childhood until she got married for more than ten years. The young lady married a bad man, and she was depressed and was robbed when she went out to burn incense. For the young lady's safety, Gu Gao, who was still called Jin Xiang at that time, took the initiative to exchange clothes with the young lady. Jin Xiang was almost humiliated but was rescued by the escort Gu Changshan, which led to this fate.

After getting married, Jinxiang was released from the mansion to help in the young lady's dowry shop. Later, the two of them became pregnant one after another. Jinxiang had an unexpected difficulty in giving birth and the baby was weak and could not be raised. She kept it a secret from Jinxiang.

Later, on the night when the child died, the young lady was framed by the harem and had a heavy bleeding during childbirth. Seeing that she would not survive, she held on to her body and told the nanny beside her to take the child away. At that time, the nanny heard that Jin Xiang's child was gone, so she thought of changing the child. Fortunately, the young lady was not valued by her husband's family and was not taken care of properly, so the child change went smoothly. After the child was changed, Jin Xiang spent the whole month of confinement, changed her surname, and followed Gu Changshan to live in Gujia Village.

"Okay then! You can ask the children to help on the mountain every day. To have something to say, you can say that the Taoist accepted Xiaobao as an outer disciple and taught him martial arts. The eldest and second girls will go up the mountain to help the Taoist take care of their apprentices out of gratitude." Chang Le thought to himself, fortunately he had collected some martial arts secrets during his travels, and he could go back and look through them. With three children in the mountains, he wouldn't be afraid that the apprentices would be bored. This method was perfect.

The matter was settled, and Chang Le carried the already awakened Gu Nan back to the Taoist temple.

Back at the Taoist temple, Chang Le put Gu Nan on the bed and saw that Gu Nan was very quiet with his eyes open, which was very strange. It seemed that this child had been very quiet since he was picked up, except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Sometimes he would roll his eyes when he was teased. It didn't look like a baby at all. Could he be precocious? It didn't look like that!

Chang Le suddenly thought of a situation, got up and went straight to the study. Gu Nan was also shocked. This future master liked to tease her too much, just like an old playboy. If she was not restricted by her body, she would have been venomous to death. How could this master be so eccentric in private when he looked like an immortal in front of outsiders at his age?

As for Chang Le, he searched in the study for a while and finally found the essays of his ancestor, which told the story of a person reincarnated with memories. He used to think of it as a story and disdained it, but now it seems to be true.
