Gu Jiao played chess with the old beggar for a while and then left, of course, she didn't forget to take her earned gold ingot and "working fee".
However, she did have a bit of conscience; she left the copper coins and scraps of silver for the old man.
It was still early in the day, so Gu Jiao went to the Hanlin Academy. She originally planned to wait for Xiao Liulang to finish his duties, but after asking the academy's Kong Mu, she found out Xiao Liulang had gone to the countryside again.
This time, it wasn't to a distant place but within the Capital City, and he would be back by night.
"Thank you," Gu Jiao said politely and then turned to leave the Hanlin Academy.
Today, Xiao Jingspace was going to play at Xu Zhuzhu's house; he had given notice in the morning, so she didn't need to pick him up from Guozijian. The Xu Family would send him back to the Medical Hall in the evening.
Gu Jiao decided to go directly to the Medical Hall.
