Chapter 106: A Kind Reminder
Gu Zhirong winked at Shang Wu: "Xiao Wu, you take care of my eldest brother, I'll go out for a while and come back soon." I'll go out and see if there is a pharmacy and grab two pairs of medicines for my eldest brother. Also, we have to go to the capital to join our relatives, how can we get such a long journey, and we still need foot strength, don't we? I see if there is a carriage to rent around here?"
The old lady nodded hurriedly and said: "This girl is right, this place is seventy or eighty miles away from the capital, if you want to leave, you really have to walk for a day and a night." According to the old body, it is better to take care of the strength of the feet. The big yellow dog at the entrance of our village has several carriages, and this is what he does, so the girl might as well ask him for one......"
Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to remember something, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Speaking of which." The old man also has a donkey cart at home, I don't know if the girl wants to ......"
Gu Zhirong knew that the old lady had received her money before, and when she saw her go out to rent a car, she felt embarrassed, so she took the initiative to ask her if she wanted a donkey cart. To tell the truth, how slow the donkey cart was, the three of them were going to run for their lives!
So, Gu Zhirong smiled, walked over and patted the old lady's shoulder and said, "Auntie, it's okay." We need to be in a hurry, and we need fast foot strength. Besides, your family lives on this donkey cart, so how can I borrow you?"
The eldest lady was even more embarrassed, rubbed her hands with her apron, and said, "This...... This ......"
Gu Zhirong patted the eldest lady again: "It's okay, as long as you help my brother and take care of my eldest brother." ”
Then, she walked up to Shang Wu. Said solemnly, "Xiao Wu, the eldest brother will be handed over to you." ”
Shang Wu also changed his previous grinning face, and nodded his head solemnly and vigorously: "Be careful yourself." Go early and come back early. ”
The old lady went out to get the donkey cart ready, and then called her grandson Xiaohuzi over, and told her carefully.
Her little grandson nodded very seriously like a little adult, and sat on the wheel of the donkey cart, not looking at his young age, driving the car steadily, not bumpy at all.
Xiaohuzi really thought that Gu Zhirong was going to grab the medicine. Immediately drove the car to the front of the pharmacy, Gu Zhirong was also reluctant to do it, and grabbed some medicinal powder to treat scalds. And then. Gu Zhirong said to him: "Little Huzi, my sister still has to go buy some more things, see if there are ready-to-wear shops or rouge gouache shops around here." And a hairpin shop or something?"
Xiaohuzi nodded. Soon brought Gu Zhirong to these shops. Gu Zhirong made a lot of purchases, went to the house of the big yellow dog that the old lady said, paid the money to rent a carriage, and finally let Xiaohuzi drive home.
When I got home, the old lady was packing something. She took a plain flower cloth and wrapped the two dozen baked cakes she had just bought from the outside village, as well as the corn tortillas she had just made, and said, "Little girl." If you're away from home, you can't do it without some dry food. Besides. You have to hurry, and it is not uncommon to find inns and restaurants along the way. The old body will bring these to you, and you will fill your stomachs on the way. ”
Gu Zhirong felt a burst of emotion in his heart, and couldn't help but gently hug the old lady: "Auntie, you are so good." ”
The eldest lady smiled: "Girl, it's not easy to go thousands of miles to Beijing to join your relatives, and I don't know what will happen in the future." The old body remembered that decades ago, the old body also went to Beijing to join his relatives, but he couldn't find that relative, and he was almost on the streets, but fortunately he met Xiaohuzi and his grandfather and brought me back. It's been a few decades since then. So, girl, there are still a lot of good people in this world, aren't they?"
Gu Zhirong nodded vigorously. Yes, although she has been subject to all things and ill-fated since she arrived in this strange era, she will not give in, because there are still more good people than bad people in this world, just like the old lady in front of her.
"Auntie, what's your name, and what's the name of this village?" Gu Zhirong asked.
The old lady said: "The old body is called He Guixiang, and this village is called Big Banyan Village." ”
"Big Banyan Village?" Gu Zhirong couldn't help laughing, no wonder when she went out just now, she saw many big banyan trees with fibrous roots hanging on the ground, it turned out to be the name of the village because of this, it's easy to remember.
She turned around and winked at Shang Wu, and motioned to him to say, you will have a day of prosperity in the future, but you have not forgotten the old lady back then.
Shang Wu nodded slightly, in response. I was inevitably a little surprised in my heart: Isn't this Miss Gu Wu the daughter of the Hou Mansion? Those daughters are all above the top and look down on these poor people, when did they become so caring for people?
Gu Zhirong and Shang Wu entered the back room, took out the medicinal powder they had just bought, and asked Shang Wu to put it on the prince. While Shangwu went out to wash her hands, she quickly took out another small packet of powder medicine on her body, pried open the prince's teeth, and poured the tea on the table to the prince. While pouring: "Prince, I gave you the only packet of Shennong flower powder on my body, you must save your life, you can't die, if you die, I'm sorry I sacrificed my life to save you." You must know that this Shennong flower can only save one person's life...... How can it only save one person's life, alas. ”
Gu Zhirong was entangled for a while, and regretted very much why she only brought the weight to save a person's life? In fact, when it came to this Shennong flower powder, she didn't have it originally, since that time to see the goods at the dock, the hall master of Baojian Hall sent someone to send her some, she knew that the gold of this medicinal powder was expensive, and the business belonged to business, but it was really unreasonable to accept such a valuable thing from others. So, Gu Zhirong sealed another five hundred taels of silver, which was half bought and half given.
"Forget it. Gu Zhirong took the rag on the table and wiped the medicine powder on the corner of the prince's mouth, and decided not to dwell on this matter anymore, "Maybe I am the legendary white lady, because I owe you a life in my previous life, so I have to give you this chance to live today, which can be regarded as paying off the debt." ”
After doing all this, it happened that Shang Wu also came back, and outside, there was a neighing sound of horses, and it turned out that Huang Dagou was driving the carriage that Gu Zhirong was going to rent.
Gu Zhirong asked Shangwu to carry the prince into the car first, pack up the things he bought, and then go out on his heels. The old lady handed her the flower cloth bag filled with the baked cakes, and suddenly stopped her: "Girl, wait." ”
Gu Zhirong took the foot that was about to step out of the door, turned around and asked, "Auntie, is there anything else?"
The old lady looked at Gu Zhirong very seriously, and then said with a smile: "You don't look like a young lady from a big family, and besides, you are still three people." ”
Gu Zhirong heard that it was inexplicable, and there was something faintly inappropriate in his heart: "Auntie, what do you want to say?"
The old lady said: "I'll just tell you so, just now when I went to the village to buy baked cakes, I saw the land security of our village, and said that our village was in front of me." It is said that a small maid in the Shouwang Mansion abducted his niece, so checkpoints have been set up in the suburbs of the city, and the people who pass by are strictly checked, and it is necessary to find out the daughter and the bold little guy. ”
Gu Zhirong felt a moment in his heart: "King Shou, is it really for her?"
At the thought of King Shou, Gu Zhirong felt disgusted. It's just that they met once, and King Shou actually missed her and tracked her down, which is too unreasonable, right?
Suddenly, her mind changed: Isn't it King Shou, but Concubine Cen Guifei?
In this way, this trip must not be peaceful, and her plan must be implemented immediately. (To be continued......)
