Lu Shui came back with a food box, and after a room of people had lunch, someone outside reported that Cai's mother was over.

"Please sit in the flower hall of Mother Cai, I will come after changing my clothes. Gu Zhirong said lightly.

The eldest lady was really anxious, and tried her best to heal the pustules on her face, in the final analysis, she still wanted her to be able to attend the birthday banquet of the concubine in the palace on time. From this point of view, that Cen Guifei's birthday banquet is tantamount to a Hongmen banquet, and it will definitely be in danger.

In this way, even if he personally made it clear to the eldest lady that he would not marry the prince, it seemed useless, and the eldest lady clearly wanted to put herself to death. It seems that the eldest lady not only wants her own property, but also wants her own life.

That eldest lady is really a ruthless master, and she should be taught a lesson.

Lu Shui went out to serve tea to Cai's mother, and while Cai Qing was grooming herself, she asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from Mingyue?"

Cai Qing lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, the slave maid pretended to go to the miscellaneous room to do some errands and saw Mingyue. She told the slave maid that since she was relegated to the miscellaneous house, she had gone to the farm in the east of the city to find her godmother several times, and her godlady was very sympathetic to her plight, and the two talked very well. Her godmother has always taken care of her when she entered the house, and the woman's husband and son have died of illness one after another, and she has no other relatives in this world, so she has always regarded Mingyue as her own daughter. In the past, Mingyue often visited her every other day, but now she works in the outer courtyard, and there are more opportunities to go out, and some people often come to see her. The woman was also very happy, and Mingyue said to the slave. It didn't take long for her to get a glimpse of how the eldest lady used inferior crystal rice to pick up money in her pocket. ”

Gu Zhirong nodded. still said: "When you see Mingyue in the future, tell her that you can't be in a hurry about this, you have to take your time." What's more, the outer courtyard is complicated, so let her be careful. ”

Cai Qing nodded: "The slave knows." ”

After a while, Cai Qing finished grooming Gu Zhirong, and he was free from dressing up, after all, he had sores on his face, and he didn't even need fat powder, so as not to affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

Out to the flower hall. Mother Cai had already drunk the third cup of tea, and when she saw Gu Zhirong, her eyes quickly glanced at her face, and then her body subconsciously shrank slightly behind her.

Gu Zhirong didn't understand the fear in her heart, so she didn't move forward anymore, just stood in place, and said, "This time I'm going to bother Mother Cai again, it's hard work." As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Qing on the side.

Cai Qing immediately took out a bulging purse and stuffed it into Cai's mother's hand. Cai's mother secretly weighed it. With a smile on his face, he was no longer so afraid of the abscess on Gu Zhirong's face, and took a step forward and said, "For Miss Five's illness, the eldest lady has always been worried about it. I specially ordered someone to go to the countryside to inquire about a lot of home remedies. Later, I heard that Imperial Doctor Hu from the Imperial Physician Pavilion in the palace said that there was a doctor in the countryside who specialized in treating this disease. The eldest lady immediately ordered me, the old woman, to come and take the fifth lady there. ”

Speaking of this, Cai's mother glanced at Gu Zhirong a little helplessly: "To be honest." The dignified Miss Yuanning Houfu had to go to the countryside to find the doctor in person. It's really good to say it. But what can be done? The doctor that Imperial Doctor Hu said was very arrogant, and the eldest lady had already sent someone to invite him several times, but he didn't eat this set, and even returned the gift, and the eldest lady had no choice, so she had to be wronged by the young lady. ”

Gu Zhirong couldn't wait to leave the house. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "What did Mother Cai say? The eldest lady has good intentions and is looking for a good cure for me everywhere, so that I am grateful as a niece, so what does it matter if I go out of the house and walk? As long as I can cure my face, I can do anything." ”

Mother Cai not only got the silver, but also saw Gu Zhirong talking so well, she was very happy in her heart, and felt that she didn't feel anything more than this trip. She looked at Gu Zhirong, and her tone was much more attentive than Fang Cai: "Is Fifth Miss ready?" If not, I can wait a little longer, old woman." ”

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "I've finished freshening up, and now I can go." ”

Mother Cai liked Gu Zhirong's crispness and neatness very much, and said busily: "Okay, Fifth Miss, let's go." ”

Gu Zhirong took a step back: "Mom will go first." ”

It stands to reason that Cai's mother is just an old slave in the house, and there is no reason to walk in front of the young lady. However, one is that Cai's mother is a big celebrity in front of the eldest lady, and she is very respected, and the people in the house do not look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, but they have to give Cai's mother face, and over time, Cai's mother has developed an advantage that Cai's mother thinks is higher than the ladies in the house;

Cai's mother didn't shirk, and walked to the front as a matter of course. Cai Qing hugged Gu Zhirong and followed closely, crossed the corridor, turned the corner gate, and walked all the way to the backyard.

The small door in the backyard had already been opened, and a green canopy carriage in the courtyard was firmly parked in the center, waiting quietly.

The car was driven by Li Quanfu's family, a woman in her forties, who was sitting on the wheel and sipping melon seeds, when she saw Cai's mother walking out, she hurriedly threw melon seeds, jumped out of the car with a smile on her face, took down the low stool on the carriage very diligently, bowed down and stretched out her hand to support Cai's mother, and said: "Cai's mother, you have to step on Luo!"

After Cai's mother got into the car, she beckoned Gu Zhirong to get into the car.

Cai Qing frowned, Gu Zhirong didn't care, and pulled Cai Qing into the carriage. Now endure the anger for a while, in the future, she must let these dog-eyed minions see who is the master of the Yuanning Hou Mansion!

The carriage drove out the back door, walked through the busy street, and got on a fork in the road, and really headed for the countryside. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I turned into an alley and came to a red mansion.

This Zhumen mansion is not closed like other courtyards, but the door is open, quite a bit of a wide welcome to the world, and it seems that it is not calm inside, and from time to time there is a high and low noise. Moreover, there are often people who come in and out alone, or groups of three or five, or with sad faces, like dead mothers, or dancing with hands, as if they have been hit by gold falling from the world.

Cai's mother couldn't help but frown, what kind of place is this? Is it a medical hall or a bazaar?

Cai Qing also felt very strange, according to her impression of the medical hall, it is generally a few clear windows, silent, on the left is the place to see a doctor, and on the right is a medicine cabinet, where all kinds of medicinal herbs and herbs are placed. And in this place, when you look into it in the dim light, a group of people on the left and right are all people, around a table and don't know what they are looking at, and there are also shirtless people. From inside came a loud and low shout, which was uncomfortable to listen to.

She suppressed the curiosity in her heart and looked at Gu Zhirong next to her. I saw that the latter also frowned tightly, as if in contemplation, and after a while, he seemed to understand something, his brows stretched, and a smile appeared on his lips. (To be continued......)
