Chapter 41: Cheek Poisoning
Xiao Jingyao has all kinds of business, and now Gu Xiangyi is taking pomegranates to one of the shops.
Before entering the door, Pomegranate only felt blinded, and it took a long time before he dared to open his eyes and step into the door. All kinds of brocade yarn cotton come into view, the embroidery thread does not know whether it is gold or silver, or the brocade thread is mixed together and embroidered, in short, the beauty makes the pomegranate dare not believe that it is real.
This dress, I'm afraid I can't buy it with a few golden beans, right?
Of course Gu Xiangyi didn't want to buy those expensive ones, they were too eye-catching to wear on her body, and those who didn't know thought she was looking for a stubble, she didn't want everyone's eyes to be on herself.
Picking and choosing, Gu Xiangyi fell in love with a lotus-colored long dress, wearing it that neither dropped the price nor was too eye-catching, the price was just what she could afford.
"Girl, this dress is too pretty, isn't it?" said Pomegranate, unblinking.
She felt that this dress was better than those golden, orange, red, and pink, and there was a little more tenderness in the ointment, and it seemed to give birth to a bit of heroism when worn on her own girl, although the girl's appearance was suitable for everything, but this dress seemed to be tailor-made for her.
Gu Xiangyi also likes it, she thinks differently from Pomegranate, she just likes the material of this dress, it feels like ice silk to the touch, and the material must be from the south side, no wonder the price is not cheap.
The ice silk material can not be easily embroidered, where the embroidery needle is not right, this piece of material will be ruined, and it is like walking in the shade of a tree in summer, cool and cool.
"That's it. Gu Xiangyi handed the golden beans out, and was a little worried that it would not be enough.
But the golden bean was not accepted.
Sure enough, it's not enough money. Gu Xiangyi had some regrets in his heart.
"The young owner of our family said that if the six girls of Zhongyi Bofu come, no matter what they choose, they will not charge money, even if you choose, our Xiao family's shop will not charge you a penny. ”
These words made both the master and servant stunned for a moment.
How did he know Gu Xiangyi's identity?
"I'm so embarrassed about that. Gu Xiangyi smiled: "Go back and let your young owner come to me to get the money, it's not difficult for you, put up this clothes." ”
People clearly said that the owner would not allow them to accept the money, if they forced others to accept it, it would be them who would be difficult, and when Xiao Jingyao turned around and was angry with them, they couldn't find Gu Xiangyi to be angry, right? So the best way is that it is not difficult for them, and the money is handed over directly to Xiao Jingyao.
The shopkeeper put the clothes on and asked again: "Six girls, take a look at the jewelry, pick which one to pick and take away." ”
"No need. Gu Xiangyi said with a smile: "There are a few new pieces of jewelry at home that I haven't worn, so it's not good to buy new ones." ”
Indeed, she hasn't worn all the ones Gu Fei sent.
The shopkeeper laughed, and there was a pair of pear vortices on his face that were not very obvious, and said, "Okay, sixth girl, you go slowly." ”
Just as the two were about to go out, a shadow walked into the store, the girl had a thin veil on her face, and the maid next to her frowned slightly, looking distressed and unwilling. The familiar and unfamiliar fragrance entered Gu Xiangyi's nose, making her stop and look back at the guest who came in.
With a light cyan long skirt and a pair of pearl earrings on her earlobes, she didn't look like a rich master, how could she enter such a shop? And the guest, Gu Xiangyi felt more and more familiar.
Pomegranate also felt familiar, especially when she saw her eyebrows, she leaned into Gu Xiangyi's ear and said, "Girl, isn't this the last time she was Meng..."
Well, Gu Xiangyi also recognized it.
Slender hand touched the material of a piece of clothing, Helan Xi's eyes were full of sadness, and she turned back to the maid and said, "Let's go, this dress can't be worn on my mother." ”
The regret in the words makes people feel inexplicably sour.
Gu Xiangyi stood outside the store with a pomegranate waiting for her, and the dead were stunned when they saw each other.
"The last time I saw you, you weren't veiled, and I almost confessed my mistake. Gu Xiangyi said.
Helan Xi stroked her cheek with the back of her hand and said, "I was able to see people last time, but this time I had to wear a veil to go out." ”
Pomegranate saw clearly that behind the tulle was a rash, and she had goosebumps all over her body, but she couldn't show it, for fear that Helan would feel sad in her heart.
When I saw her not long ago, her face was as bright as a morning flower, but how could she be disfigured this time? Not even a veil could cover it.
Gu Xiangyi asked directly: "How did you get this face?"
Helan Xi didn't want to answer, but she knew her identity, she was just a low-level official's concubine, and she didn't have any sense of existence in this capital, so she didn't dare to make anyone angry, and whispered: "Not long ago, my mother was sick, and I started to have this rash after I was sick, and my mother died of illness, thinking about a piece of clothing that she liked most in this store when she was alive, so I went out to find it." ”
She and her mother couldn't afford to buy clothes, but as long as they looked at it, they felt ironed in their hearts.
"Pomegranate, go and help Miss He get her clothes. Gu Xiangyi said.
"How does this make. Helan Xi was a little panicked: "The girl doesn't have to pity me, it's okay." ”
The pomegranate next to her returned to the store first, Helan didn't stop her, Gu Xiangyi stepped forward and got closer to her, looked at her face under the veil carefully, and asked, "Find a convenient place, Miss He, would you like to take off the veil for me to see?"
The request was a bit more inexplicable.
The windows of the teahouse are bright and open, and the wind blows into the long windows, making it particularly comfortable and cool to the people. On the first floor, there are plucked strings, storytellers and singers, and the voices of tea guests talking and shouting one after another.
When a few people came to the third floor, Helan Xi slowly took off the veil, which made Pomegranate a little nauseous, and Gu Xiangyi also felt a little uncomfortable.
The originally clean face like a shelled egg is now covered with rashes, and it is a bit like pockmarks, and it will inevitably feel disgusting at first sight, and it only feels uncomfortable to look at it densely.
Helan Xi also felt that way when she looked in the mirror, smiled sadly, and said: "You two don't have to endure it, I know it's ugly now, and I don't even want to see this face myself." ”
"No, it won't. Gu Xiangyi took two deep breaths, reached out and scraped her face, the potholes were like touching an unsmooth stone: "You said this face is suddenly like this?
It's not your own fault, it's oversensitivity, or poisoning.
The maid replied: "Lang Zhong is naturally looking for it, but the girl's status in the house is embarrassing, and the lord doesn't pay attention to the girl after the lady goes. ”
"Su Mei, shut up. Helan reprimanded softly.
didn't let Lang Zhong look at it, and he also broke the silver, which was too empty-hearted.
Even if Gu Xiangyi didn't know medical skills, she knew that something must be wrong, so she looked at the face carefully and said, "In my opinion, you may have been poisoned." ”
"Poisoning?" Su Mei covered her mouth suddenly, her eyes widened in fright, and after a while, she said in a trembling tone: "The eldest lady and the eldest girl are too much!
At this point, she was already in tears.
And as the owner of this face, how could Helan not be sad? How could she not know what the reason why this face became what it is now? But even if she knew, what could she do, she had no way to resist, and she could not go to her father to tell her what the eldest lady and the eldest sister had done, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything, and pretended to be deaf and dumb with this face for the rest of her life.
Pomegranate sighed softly.
is another person in the same situation as her own girl, but her own girl is willing to resist, but people don't dare to resist, and they also lose their mother and are not treated by their family, she seems to understand why the girl wants to say this to her.
"What can I do. Helan Xi put the veil back on, tears fell silently, and her thin shoulders shook slightly: "Grandmother is old, she was also seriously ill when my mother was sick, and she couldn't afford to be sick after my mother died, and there was no one at home to protect me.
The old lady of the He family is good to her, but what's the use of that, putting on a mother-in-law with a heart like a snake and scorpion is the most innocent place for a person.
Gu Xiangyi understands her current mood very well, she can't resist if she wants to resist, and she is worried that her grandmother will worry more about herself, so she won't dare to do anything.
"If your face is poisoned, I think I have a way to detoxify it. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them all looked at Gu Xiangyi, not only Helan Xi and Su Mei, but even Pomegranate was very surprised.
She always thought that her girl knew martial arts, but she didn't think she could also heal?
Gu Xiangyi knew that she had misunderstood as soon as she looked at her eyes, but now she didn't have time to say it too clearly, so she only said to Helan Xi: "If Miss He trusts me, then I can try to detoxify." ”
How can I say it now, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.
Helan Xi nodded.
When leaving the teahouse, Pomegranate followed closely behind Gu Xiangyi and asked again and again: "Girl, how can you detoxify? Do you know what kind of poison is in Miss He?"
The girl in front of her walked exceptionally lightly, her skirt flickered left and right, and her earrings dangled back and forth.
"I won't, but I have a brother who will. Gu Xiangyi said 'stinky and shameless': "I always have to try." ”
Pomegranate looked at her girl's side face helplessly, thinking to herself, where did she know that Jiang Yan could detoxify? In case no one can solve it, then wouldn't it be fun to talk to Helan Xi about this? And she still has questions to ask.
For example, why did the girl help Helan Xi?
After this question was asked, Gu Xiangyi replied: "When I was young, I once got lost in the wilderness, and a carriage stopped in front of me and sent me back to the General's Mansion. ”
