Early summer, afternoon, Yuanning Hou Mansion, Liu Yunxuan.

Although it has just entered summer, the weather is obviously hot, the weeping willows are still in the breeze, and the shallow heat rising from the ground makes people irritable, but they cannot be forced to deal with it.

Mingyue, who was standing at the door, rubbed her sour eyes vigorously, needless to say, she obviously felt that her eyes couldn't be seen at all. Last night, she was frightened all night, and this morning she stared at the hidden courtyard gate, and her nerves tensed up at the slightest hint of wind and grass, and her heart was pounding, and there was always an illusion that a catastrophe was coming.

The old lady's Fuxi Courtyard did not move a morning, and she secretly asked Lushui to investigate. But when such a thing happened, the whole house was panicked, and even Zi Shao, a first-class girl in the old lady's house who had a good relationship with Lu Shui, was silent, and waved her hand to let Lu Shui go back to her yard and wait, if there was any news, she would hand over the news.

Such a helpless wait is the most exhausting of people's minds, Mingyue even has a hallucination, as if she saw the tragic scene that happened in Fangfeiyuan last year reproduced in front of her: a group of thick-waisted and round-shouldered servant women rushed into the courtyard with the old lady's hand, tied up their slaves and maids, and beat them to death with sticks in the courtyard, and dark red blood flowed all over the ground. And the seventh lady Gu Fangfei was tied up and locked in the attic by Wuhuada...... Three days later, Miss Seven's biological mother, Aunt Xia, was sent to the empty door, and Miss Seven was forcibly escorted to a sedan chair to marry the bad old man who was over half a hundred years old as a concubine in the governor of Fujian......

Mingyue couldn't help but shudder, and her clenched palms were slightly sweaty.

The old lady's thunderous means are not something they can despise.

Thinking like this, Mingyue only felt that the whole person suddenly woke up, and saw the two little girls who were in charge of opening the curtain at the door, Ying'er, Yu'er drooped her head, looking drowsy, and hurriedly woke them up, whispered and scolded them for waiting for life, paying attention to the movement in and out of the courtyard, and not relaxing for a moment.

Since Liu Yunxuan's accident, these two little girls have almost not slept all night last night, staring at the red rabbit eyes, the bottom of the eyes is blue, and they were reprimanded by Mingyue, pursing their mouths as if they were about to cry.

Mingyue couldn't bear it, sighed, his tone softened a lot, and said in a low voice: "Now that something like this has happened, everyone is not comfortable." Although the two of you are young, you should also know some measure, keep an eye on this yard, and don't make another mess of this kind of thing to make people block. ”

The two little girls with knotted hearts and double buns nodded vigorously.

At this moment, only the sound of the Yunxi veil curtain blowing on the ground was faintly heard in the inner room, Mingyue knew that Gu Zhirong, the fifth lady of Kung Fu, had woken up at this moment, and hurriedly lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei that depicted the pattern of green mountains and green waters, and approached. Seeing that the Yunxi yarn in front of the pear wood bed of the hundred birds was opened, a slender figure sat up.

Mingyue was in a trance for a while, as if she saw Miss Seven, who had been hungry for three days of hunger, depicted by heavy makeup, and then put on a red wedding dress, stuffed a strip of cloth in her mouth and stuffed it into a sedan chair, and a kind of blowing and blowing covered up Miss Seven's whining cry. And Dong Xiucai, who swore an oath with the seventh lady, was stripped of his fame and was charged with seducing Miss Houfu, and he couldn't stay in the local area anymore......

"Mingyue?" a voice like a clear spring came, speaking unhurriedly, very nice, with a slight suspicion in his tone.

Mingyue suddenly came back to her senses, raised her head, and was greeted by a beautiful face, two slightly frowning eyebrows into the sideburns, black hair and cicada sideburns, eyes like autumn water pure and clear, reminding people of the smooth mirror-like lake surface when there is no wind in spring.

This kind of young lady is familiar to her, just like waking up after countless naps in the past, Gu Zhirong's eyes are not only calm or calm, but there is no trace of the lazy demeanor of waking up from a nap.

didn't have time to think about it, Mingyue hurriedly took the green forging ink pillow and gave it to Gu Zhirong to lean on, and then called the green water and jade cicada to come in and serve Gu Zhirong to wash, and she picked bamboo salt for Gu Zhirong to rinse.

Gu Zhirong took the bamboo salt, his eyes swept over the bright moon, and he paused slightly: "Why is it that you are haggard like this when you are only one day and one night?"

Mingyue glanced at Gu Zhirong with some resentment, and sighed in her heart, now the people inside and outside the whole courtyard are so worried that they can't eat, and they can't sleep well, just Miss You're a one-hearted, eat and sleep, and the days still pass according to the rhythm of the past, as if someone is holding on to the sky falling.

Gu Zhirong didn't ask any more questions, got up and sat on the brocade stool in front of the dresser opposite. The most skillful jade cicada walked over quickly, took out a koi-shaped horn comb from the Jiuzifang lacquer basket placed on the dressing table, skillfully pulled up a beautiful black moon bun for Gu Zhirong, and inserted a few pearl hairpins for decoration. The white pearls, combined with Gu Zhirong's white and lustrous face, complement each other and give off a different kind of softness.

Lu Shui took the clothes over, wearing a colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt, with a silk and jasper belt for the waist, and the waist that was not in a grip was revealed.

Gu Zhirong turned around, looked at a room of "red-eyed rabbits", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "What's wrong with all of you, all of you have red eyes, and people who don't know walk in and think they've entered a rabbit's nest!"

The three girls in the room glared at me, I glared at her, and finally they couldn't hold back their laughter, and the heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the room seemed to be diluted.

"Miss, love to laugh. Mingyue looked at Gu Zhirong a little helplessly, and looked at the light and bright smile on her face, somehow, as if she was infected, her heart was greatly relieved.

Liu Yunxuan has no housekeeper, this is the biggest difference between Liu Yunxuan and other young ladies in the house. Perhaps because of this reason, the undisciplined Fifth Miss often said some nonsensical things, even if it was a joke, but it gently and gently swept through everyone's hearts like a spring breeze in Hexi, so that the suppressed and uneasy heart in the room slowly settled down.

Mingyue thought, maybe this is the most distinctive thing about her own young lady.

"You all go catch up on your sleep, I'll go read under the grape trellis in the backyard later, and I won't have to wait. Gu Zhirong stood up as he commanded.

The courtyard of Gufu is very large, and the big house and the second room are all gathered together, divided into several large courtyards, and each courtyard is connected. Just like Gu Zhirong's Liuyun Courtyard, it is also a large courtyard with three entrances, there are three main rooms, the bright room in the middle is the main hall, a big kang table is placed on the kang table in the east room, and the west room is the bedroom, and then there is a small clean room, and there is a small clean room in the clean room, which has a small door to open to the north, which is convenient to send hot water from the backyard of the third entrance.

On the east side of the backyard, there is a grape trellis, in early summer, the green vines climb densely, and occasionally there are dots of fine sunlight sprinkled down, the shade is cool, Gu Zhirong likes to read in that place the most. On the west side is a medicine garden, planted with some unknown herbs, which are taken care of by Gu Zhirong alone on weekdays, and others dare not touch them easily. In order to prevent accidents, Gu Zhirong also surrounded a fence, opened a small door, locked it with a lock, and put the key on the bodies of several big girls.

Seeing that her young lady was so calm, although Mingyue and the others had doubts, their spirits were obviously relaxed. As soon as the man relaxed, the sleepy horse rose up, and he couldn't help but yawn. So he asked the jade cicada who seemed to be in good spirits to serve Gu Zhirong, and sent Cai Qing and the green water down to rest, and even the warbler and fisherman outside the door were dismissed.

Jade Cicada has been following Gu Zhirong for a long time, and she is well aware of her habits, and the wisteria chair under the grape trellis has long been arranged. The peach wood tray is placed in a vacant space between three or four bamboo branches, and the vacant seat is very dexterously placed on a peach wood tray, on which the green tobacco bottom white porcelain teapot teapot and teacup are just right, and the person sitting on the wisteria chair does not need to get up, just need to stand up and reach out to get tea, which is very convenient.

Gu Zhirong stared at the jade-like crisp green grapes that fell from the lush branches and leaves, staring until his eyes were sour, and the fog gradually formed, before he closed his eyes and sat down on the wisteria chair.

The jade cicada obediently put the book of "Medical Scriptures" in her hand on the left side of the wisteria chair, then quickly picked up the teapot, made a cup of cloud tea and handed it to Gu Zhirong's hand, and then retreated lightly, leaving a quiet space for her own young lady.

Gu Zhirong flicked the floating green tea leaves with the lid, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. She took a sip gently, letting the faint wisp of tea fragrance sink into her heart and lungs, stabilizing her slightly fluctuating thoughts, and then put the teacup on the peach wood tray, picked up the book and turned to the page she saw yesterday, the fine sunlight fell on her neck like white porcelain, demure and beautiful.

Gu Zhirong looked at the dense columns of handwriting on the paper for a moment. In her previous life, she was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, when her parents were alive, when she just knew how to read, she taught herself to read the Compendium of Materia Medica and the treatise on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, and studied Chinese medicine for seven years. Thinking about my life, it really started with Chinese medicine and ended with Chinese medicine.

If she follows her original temperament, she will not work so herself, her ideal in life is to eat death, sleep and play death, and live a happy life, as for studying Chinese medicine, it is just to fulfill the last wish of her parents. I didn't want to wear this strange time and space, but it was her medical studies for seven years that helped her.

She remembered that when she first came through, she didn't dare to speak loudly, she didn't dare to go out, she didn't dare to do anything, for fear that she would accidentally show her stuffing, and provoke jokes and surprised eyes. At that time, there happened to be such a medical book on the small coffee table at the head of the bed, and she picked it up and read it, never thinking that she would actually read it.

Immediately after the death of Mrs. Su, the biological mother of the original owner, according to Mrs. Su's dying request, she took Mingyue and others to the Hanging Ji Temple to keep filial piety for three years, and did not return to Gu Mansion until last year.

Three years in the Hanging Ji Temple, is her most relaxed and happiest days, she worships the most famous Mingkong in the temple as a teacher, the knowledge of her previous life and the practice of the later generations to understand, and often with Mingkong to go to the clinic, a few years down, even a little famous. The villagers near the Hangji Temple all knew that Master Mingkong had accepted a layman female disciple to inherit the mantle.

But for Master Mingkong, Gu Zhirong had an indescribable thought, she felt that she couldn't understand the old monk who was over seventy years old. The lean old monk had a hint of edge in his kind and loving eyes, Gu Zhirong felt that all his secrets were exposed under his sharp gaze many times, but nothing happened.

I heard Mingyue say that she drowned when she was nine years old, and she was in a coma for seven days and didn't wake up, and then Mrs. Su personally went up the mountain to invite Master Mingkong to wake herself up. At that time, Master Mingkong took away the silver bracelet of the cross he was wearing on his wrist, saying that he took it to the temple to summon spirits. It didn't take long for me to wake up.

That wrist ...... Gu Zhirong bit his lip. Everyone knew that the thing he brought was not a thing from this time and space at all, and the old monk seemed to be forgetful, never mentioning it, and there was no intention of returning the silver bracelet to her. Gu Zhirong guessed countless times and came to the conclusion that the old monk wanted to threaten himself with this secret of his own.

However, she is an orphan girl, although she is the daughter of the third room of the Gu Mansion, but her parents died early, and her status in the Gu Mansion is not even as good as a concubine, so the concubine still has an aunt to take care of her, isn't it? What is the use value of such a self? Could it be true, as it has been rumored outside, that the old monk really wants to force himself to inherit his mantle? Although the old monk has not praised himself for his great understanding in front of others, but that is because he has studied medicine for seven years? It has nothing to do with understanding, okay? What's more, she is also the serious daughter of the Gu Mansion with a head and a face, and the old lady still doesn't know if she can agree?

Gu Zhirong pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on his lips: Old monk, don't say that I won't give you a chance, it's been three years, and you have been pretending to be dumb, and this girl will not accompany you in the next few days. Inherit the mantle and live that kind of poor life, or find someone else.

The jade cicada who retreated to the backyard door and looked at the back of her young lady from a distance was very incomprehensible, such a thick medical book, such complicated and obscure handwriting, like a book from heaven, how could her own young lady read it so easily, and read it so with relish?

But after thinking about it, I secretly became happy again. She remembered that since the young lady woke up from falling into the pond four years ago, her temperament had begun to change, and although she was still quiet, she supported them to go to the stall outside to find medical books to read. Originally, they thought that Miss was joking, but they didn't expect Miss to admit it, and she nested in the yard alone to read a book, and the gate was not stepping, and some herbs were planted at the back of the yard. They didn't care at first, then they felt a little surprised, and then they felt relieved: their own young lady could not go out, but they saved themselves from being framed by others.
