The second update!

Gu Juan felt her heart tremble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The night breeze was blowing, and she suddenly felt that the man's clothes seemed to be too thin.

At this moment, Wang Kai coughed lightly, he turned around a little unnaturally, and left with Wang Qigong.

When he got into the carriage, Wang Kaijunyi's fair face was still a little abnormal, and Wang Qigong couldn't help but ask, "Lan Jun's face seems to be a little?" But not feeling well? ”

"It's okay, it's just a little windy outside."

Wang Qigong was noncommittal, but secretly said in his heart that his grandson, who does not eat fireworks in the world, has now reached such an age of blood and strength.

Gu Juan returned to the house a little stupidly. At this time, Gu Weijun's eyes lit up, he sat extremely straight, his originally sick and weak body seemed to be full of strength, Gu Weijun looked at Gu Juan happily, and said, "Ah Juan." ”

Just these two words can hear the ultimate hope and joy.

Gu Juan smiled and said, "I'll buy medicine for my brother tomorrow." ”

When Gu Zhi returned from the private school in the village, he was naturally extremely happy when he heard about this, and he drank two glasses of rice wine after dinner, looking very interested.

He also took Gu Juan and Gu Weijun's hands, and said with drunken eyes: "As long as my son's illness is cured, our family will really survive this hurdle." ”

"These days, you have to read books well, after all, there will be a college exam in two months, and my son's talent is still very promising."

Gu Juan looked at Gu Zhi with a smile, maybe this person hadn't encountered a good thing for a long time, so he was so happy now.

Life doesn't always be a tribulation after all.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Juan got up early, put on Ahe's turquoise shirt, Gu Zhi also put on his much-loved gown, and a poor and sour air immediately came to his face, Gu Juan said with some disgust: "Daddy, this gown is already worn to such an extent, why do you still wear it." ”

Gu Zhi smiled and said: "The caftan is a symbol of a scholar, so naturally it is impossible not to wear it. ”

Gu Juan was amused in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that when his brother was cured, he would make a better gown for this talented father.

The two of them got on the ox cart in the village for two pennies a trip, and arrived at Taicang City in two hours.

"Yesterday's scene, as if it was right in front of me, half a month ago, my father came out of this city, and I felt that the future was bleak, but at this time, I felt that my heart was full of hope, and even I thought that my son would be able to take the lead in high school soon, and even raise people and even jinshi."

Gu Zhi stood at the gate of the city and said with emotion. Gu Juan reluctantly pulled up Gu Zhi's sleeve and said, "Daddy, there's no time to sigh, it's important to grab the medicine, try to go home before lunch, and save money for a meal." ”

"Ah Wan is right, let's go."

In the city of Taicang in late spring, it is lively and full of people.

The place where Gu Juan wanted to go was the Huimin Pharmacy set up by Taicang Prefecture, which started from the Song Dynasty, and later changed to a private operation because of the problem of local officials' inflated existence, but the land of Taicang was retained because of a family surnamed Shen's benevolence and outstanding ability.

Although there is no financial support from the central government, Feng Rubi, the governor of Sudan, has a lot of support, so this Huimin Pharmacy has survived.

I saw a two-entry courtyard in front of me, with black tiles and white walls revealing a trace of antiquity. But there were many poorly dressed people waiting outside the door, most of them in their thirties and forties, with dark skin and thin bodies.

Gu Juan was a little puzzled.

Gu Zhi said to Gu Juan: "These people are all slender coolies in Babao Town. ”

"Eight Treasure Town?"

Gu Zhi looked at Gu Wan and said helplessly: "Didn't Ah Wanmo even forget these things, right?" ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a while, she naturally couldn't remember anything.

"Back then, Gonggong Zheng went to the West seven times in Babao Town to raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

Gu Juan's heart was shocked, if this is the case, then this so-called Babao Town is the Taicang Port of the later generations, that is, the mouth of the Yangtze River, Gu Juan suddenly looked south.

In the most lively street market of the Ming Dynasty, the floors were no more than high trees, so there was only a green horizon in the distance. And in 500 years, a glorious city will rise there.

"Ah Wan is stunned again, it's our turn."

Gu Juan shook his head, not thinking about those strange things.

The person sitting in front of him has clear eyebrows, although he is over forty years old, his eyebrows and eyes are comfortable, and he does not look old at all, and he is obviously very good at health preservation.

"What is the ailment, sir?"

"Coming down to grab the medicine." Gu Zhi handed over the prescription, and the person sitting in the clinic frowned, and then said, "There are a few flavors of medicine, I don't have them here, and I will pack some medicinal materials for you." ”

"Thank you, doctor."

The person sitting in the clinic glanced at Gu Zhi's shabby clothes, sighed and said, "Those few medicinal herbs add up to about ten taels of silver." ”

Gu Xuan, who was originally standing aside in a daze, was taken aback.

The Ming Dynasty is not one of those unreliable travel novels, casually hundreds of taels of silver, in the golden vase of plums, Ximen Qing invited people to dinner, only four taels of silver to buy a pig, a sheep, five or six jars of Jinhua wine and incense candles, paper ties, chickens and ducks case wine, set down two large tables of banquets.

And Gu Weijun's medicine costs ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to five thousand yuan in later generations.

If the Gu family wants to take out this money, they can only sell Gu Juan.

The two walked out dejected. At this time, there were many people on the street, and the shouting came and went, but Gu Juan felt cold in her heart, she looked at Gu Zhi and asked, "Daddy, how much money do we have?" ”

"Five, two, four. It's not close. ”

Among these five taels and four cents, there are also one or two or four cents of Gu Boss, and one or two that Gu Elder secretly brought over.

But it was still not enough for them to buy half a pair of medicines.

If Gu Weijun knew, he would definitely blame himself again, saying that he was involved in the family again.

But last night, the family was still looking forward to the future with hope. Gu Juan clenched his fists and said to Gu Zhi: "Daddy, let's go to the pharmacy to have a look, we have to give it a try, if we go back like this, brother, I'm afraid I'm going to be sad again, his body is weak, if he is making his condition worse, what should I do?" ”

Gu Zhi sighed faintly and said, "If you let go of this old face, you have to buy the medicine back." ”

The two walked to the door of a very grand medical hall, Gu Zhi took a deep breath and walked in, perhaps because it was still early, at this time there was a crowd in the lobby, and only an old doctor with a white beard was sitting in the clinic.

Gu Zhi took the medicine list and said those medicinal herbs.

The old doctor frowned, raised his head and looked at Gu Zhi's shabby robe.

"These medicinal herbs are at least ten taels of silver."

Gu Zhifang used all his courage, he said: "I don't have so much money in the future, why don't you pay half of it first, and then repay it with interest?" ”

The old doctor sighed and said, "Our clinic is not a loan, so the master should go back and raise money." ”

"But my son is seriously ill, and it is really urgent, can the doctor be accommodating?"

"We also have to support our families, and if everyone was like this, my hospital would not be able to open a long time ago."

Gu Zhi looked at the old doctor, took out a document with the official seal from his arms, put it on the table, and said to the old doctor: "Doctor, this is the Maocai document under the law, and the mortgage is here, okay?" ”

At this time, a little medicine boy standing behind the medicine cabinet said: "You are really sour and talented, and we are not rare with your things, so you should go to another house." ”

Gu Zhi was in place, looking humiliated, but he still said: "Doctor, can you be accommodating, Wu'er, will be rested!" ”

Gu Juan saw Gu Zhi's trembling calves, slightly bent, as if it was some kind of omen of shame, and a huge sadness suddenly surged in her heart.

Her father was a reader.
