Chapter 003: Chance Encounter
"Someone who is destined?"
Gu Jialuo didn't notice it herself, and when she spit out these three words, there was inexplicable coldness and ridicule in her tone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Shijiu was worried about her master, and she didn't pay attention to these, she nodded vigorously: "The main reason is that the medicine introduced by Qi Yao's family is too unusual. What is the blood of the heart of the dear and beloved and faithful people, alas, this heart blood is not an ordinary drop of blood, a piece of flesh, but the essence blood on the atrium, although the subordinates have not heard of the heart and blood treatment, let alone know the medical theory, but the common sense is known, taking the heart and blood is not a joke, if you don't get it right, you will have to worry about your life. ”
But Qi Yao's words had noses and eyes, and both the saint and the queen believed her words.
If it weren't for the queen mother, queen and other female relatives to stop them, the saint would have wanted the imperial doctor to test whether his heart's blood could be used.
Gu Jialuo frowned, "I have read a few medical books, and I remember that there was a home remedy that mentioned the blood of the heart, and it was also pointed out that the blood of the heart of the human heart is extremely precious, but it is okay to take one or two drops. ”
She is in such a hurry to return to Beijing precisely for this reason. Although many facts indicate that she cannot be related to Master Miaozhen.
However, Gu Jialuo always had such a doubt in his heart.
It's good that this medicine induction incident is good, it just so happens that she can take this opportunity to give it a try, if her heart's work can save Master Miao Zhen, it will show ...... Of course, if she can't be treated, she will also come back to serve the elderly.
For this reason, Gu Jialuo took out He's medical book again, looked through it carefully, and then ordered someone to find some witch doctor home remedies of the Southwest Yi tribe, studied them one by one, and found that there were records of blood in He's medical book and southwest home remedies.
It's just that the relevant records are very vague, and Gu Jialuo doesn't know the specific usage.
But one thing is certain, if a healthy person is drained of his heart's blood, there is no harm to his body.
Xiao Shijiu hurriedly nodded, "Yiren is right, and the imperial doctors in the capital have also confirmed this." So—"
Xiao Shijiu's face showed a look of mockery, and he said coldly: "Since the words 'extracting blood from the heart will not endanger health' in the Dahe Yuan, many Xiao clan people suddenly jumped out of the harem and even the entire capital, crying and shouting to 'make medicine' for the master. Hmph, what did they do earlier? ”
The former and the latter are so powerful, it is strange that Master Miaozhen's diehard party will feel comfortable.
Xiao Shijiu scolded in a low voice: "Their abacus is quite good, using a drop of blood that does not hurt their lives to seek the favor of the master, if they are lucky, maybe they can also become the benefactor of the master, and since then they have relied on the master to live a good life of wealth and glory, it is really calculating!" ”
Gu Jialuo tugged at the corners of his mouth and said soothingly: "You can't say that. As long as you can save the master's life, you can ignore many things. ”
Everyone is not a saint who cuts meat and feeds tigers, and he can already be considered a good person if he helps others without endangering his own interests and safety.
Gu Jialuo changed places, if it wasn't for Master Miaozhen treating her so well, she wouldn't have been able to sacrifice herself to save her. Even though she made a plan to return to Beijing after receiving the letter, she immediately looked at the medical skills, and asked Dr. Yan in detail about the specific matters, and did her homework.
It's just that Xiao Nineteen's identity is different, she is a dead soldier of Miaozhen, and her existence is for Master Miaozhen, and dying for her master is a supreme glorious thing for her.
Therefore, even if Xiao Shijiu understood this truth, she was very dissatisfied with those Xiao clan people who jumped up and down.
…… Fortunately, the young master is not such a person, and his own master really did not see the wrong person.
Xiao Shijiu glanced at Gu Jialuo inadvertently, and his eyes flashed with respect and gratitude to her.
She remembered very clearly that before the master's letter arrived, the young master was in a state of collapse because of the death of his young son, and the whole person was in a state of confusion.
And after Xiao Shisan informed the young master of the news that her master was critically ill, she came to her senses and immediately made the decision to return to Beijing.
Xiao Nineteen remembered that the young master once said with red eyes, "Without knowing it, I have already lost a relative, and I don't want to lose the elder of the master again." Maybe I won't be able to help when I go back to Beijing, but I'll have to stay at the master's bedside. ”
Subsequently, the matter of the 'medicine introduction' was transmitted back to Wumeng, and the young master said without hesitation: "I'll try it too." One more person is one more hope! ”
From that moment on, Xiao Shijiu's heart completely recognized Gu Jialuo, the young master, that she really took her master to heart.
With Gu Jialuo as a comparison, the obvious difference between the princesses, princes, county lords and clan ladies in Beijing is very dazzling.
Listening to Gu Jialuo say this at this time, he knew that it made sense, but he still couldn't help but secretly make a note of those 'nobles'.
"Xiao Nineteen, so many people are willing to take the initiative to donate blood, then, is it appropriate?"
Gu Jialuo didn't know Xiao Shijiu's careful thoughts, and asked with concern, "In addition, can Yao Xiruo help the master prescribe other prescriptions for nourishing the body?" ”
Master Miao Zhen has been in a coma and her body is weak, and if she is not carefully adjusted, she will most likely not survive the day when she is fully equipped with medicine.
"No, the masters of Prince An's mansion, as well as the entire royal family and clan, basically all the people who are related to the master have tried, but none of them can be used."
Xiao Shijiu's face was full of frustration, and he lost his meanness: "Alas, there are so many people, they can't even match a medicine." The sage had no choice but to look for a 'destined person' in the capital and its surrounding counties. Qi Yao's health was not good, and he couldn't take care of his master closely, but he prescribed some medicine to his master. ”
Xiao Shijiu suddenly thought of something, hesitated, and said, "There is one more thing, the sage ordered the family members of the master's three concubines to be recalled to the capital. ”
Master Miaozhen married three times, and all three horses were hung up, except for the first concubine who died for saving the saint, and the family was rewarded by the imperial court for this. The other two died in an 'accident', and in order to help Miao Zhen vent, the saint directly sent the families of the last two concubines to the capital.
Subsequently, the world changed, and the family of the first colt also left the capital for some reason.
This time, Miao Zhen was infected with a strange disease, and she had no heirs under her name, just in case, in case, if she went...... The sage thought about it, and I don't know what kind of consideration he had, so he actually recalled all the families of the three concubines to the capital.
Gu Jialuo frowned, "Oh, even the Liu family has been recalled?" ”
In the past three years, Gu Jialuo and Miao Zhen have hardly seen each other, but the two have been in constant contact.
In the letters exchanged, Gu Jialuo vaguely felt that Miaozhen didn't care very much about her three husbands, especially her third husband Liu Xuanlang, and when Miaozhen occasionally mentioned it, she was also full of disdain and resentment.
Thinking about Liu Xuanlang's 'death' back then, Gu Jialuo couldn't help but come to a conclusion: Liu Xuanlang and Miaozhen have reached the point of mutual hatred, and Liu Xuanlang's death is very likely to be Miaozhen's handiwork.
In fact, the sage's treatment of the Liu family was also the most severe.
is also a mother-in-law who is not pleasing to the truth, and the second Ma Mu family is much better, although the family was also expelled, but it is a prosperous small county in the south of the Yangtze River.
And the Liu family was directly kicked by the saint to the bitter cold northwest. Ostensibly to be an official, in fact it is no different from exile.
It is reported that when the Liu family went to work, there were government officials 'escorting' along the way, which was very difficult, and there were weak female dependents and two- or three-year-old children who died directly on the road.
After Gu Jialuo heard those rumors, he couldn't help but wonder what the Liu family (or Liu Xuanlang) had done to make the saint and the master punish so severely?
But now, Xiao Shijiu told her that the sage actually personally ordered the Liu family to return to Beijing, what kind of inside story is this?!
"After eighteen years, the sluts of the Liu family are finally back."
Xiao Shijiu had a smile on his pretty face, but the red cherry lips spat out cold words.
Gu Jialuo clearly felt the chill and hatred emanating from Xiao Shijiu's body, and became more and more sure of his previous guess - sure enough, the master and the Liu family were undying enemies.
……
In the evening, Gu Jialuo and his party entered the range of Shudi, and finally arrived at the post station outside the county before dark.
Gu Jialuo is a pleasant person, even if there is no male host accompanying him, Yi Cheng will not dare to slack off when he sees it. After looking at the mighty convoy, Yi Cheng made a rough calculation in his heart, and then ordered someone to clean up the best courtyards, and personally led Gu Jialuo's master and servant into one of the best ones.
"The post station is simple, which makes Gu Yiren feel wronged. Fortunately, this place is quite clean, the small ones have been ordered to be cleaned, and the tables, chairs, and bedding are extremely clean. In addition, out of the small courtyard turn right is the kitchen, the fire is ...... day and night"
Yi Cheng bowed his body, didn't dare to look up at Gu Jia Luo at all, and said with a little flattery.
Gu Jialuo said 'um' and said, "There is labor!" ”
Then he glanced at Ziwei.
Ziwei understood, paused slightly, and handed Yicheng a purse, "We are very tired after a day's journey, and we also have two little young ladies, so I don't want anyone to disturb us." In addition, we also have to purchase some fresh ingredients, and we also ask Yicheng to help make it convenient. ”
"Hey, the little one understands, the little one understands."
Yi Cheng took the purse and pinched it, hey, hard little pieces. He gently slapped it in his palm, and oh, it was a full five taels.
is such a generous lady in Beijing, a random reward is worth half a year's salary.
Yi Cheng put away the purse skillfully, nodded more and more attentively, and said in his mouth: "This big girl can rest assured, the little one will definitely explain, and she will never let the idle people disturb or collide with the nobles." ”
Gu Jialuo had already entered the small courtyard, which was a small courtyard house, with three upper rooms and three left and right wing rooms. The house is half-old and not new, and the window paper is a little yellowed, which is not very good, but not too bad.
After three years of training in the southwest, Gu Jialuo did not dislike it when he saw such a simple courtyard again.
"Clean up."
Gu Jialuo took a turn in the upper room, and then went to the east and west wings to take a look, and found that Yi Cheng was right, although the house was dilapidated, it was still clean.
Mother Qu and Mother Feng each led a few stout mothers-in-law and sorted them out separately.
Mother Qu is cleaning the east wing here, this is the house where the four nurses and happy sisters live temporarily, and Mother Qu is in charge, Gu Jialuo is more at ease.
Feng's mother led people to tidy up the upper room, and they took the bed cover of the post station to the side, and then replaced it with Gu Jialuo's own bed. Spittoons, buckets, basins, kettles, cups, cups, and other things are all used for their own use.
Even when Gu Jialuo returned to the upper room again, the room was already lit with her favorite sandalwood.
Ziwei sent the post servant, and led a few stout maids to the kitchen, boiling water, preparing dinner, and making a list of tomorrow's purchases.
Liu Hu, who was in charge of the guards outside, led the guards to live in the terraced houses outside, and after the grooms and servants settled down, they began to perform their duties, feeding the horses and carrying the cages.
Busy, not chaotic, both male and female slaves and maids seem to have done it thousands of times, flowing smoothly, only to the onlookers and postmen who are watching dumbfounded.
"Tsk, it's worthy of being a noble person from Beijing, even the minions under the door are so factional."
Yi Cheng muttered loudly.
When the hand in the sleeve touched the purse, I couldn't help but think: If there are a few more nobles like this every day, we will be rich!
Just as he was thinking about it, a thin post man ran in and panted and said to the post man: "Boss, there is another official who has returned to Beijing outside. I heard and heard that I still received a special order from the saint to return to Beijing, and the master of the family is the fourth product. ”
Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "The official of the fourth grade? Also a big family? ”
The post man nodded vigorously: "Good fellows, there are forty or fifty people of old and young, men and women, masters and slaves." Boss, people are about to arrive at the post station, how to arrange it? ”
As he spoke, the postman also deliberately glanced at the small courtyard where Gu Jialuo was. You know, there are only one or two good places in the whole station.
The post station is an inn set up by the imperial court, which follows the rules of officialdom and pays the most attention to official rank and qualifications.
If there is only Gu Jialuo's family today, she will naturally live in the best house.
But there is another four-grade official, and he is not far away from Beijing, but he is ordered to return to Beijing, look at this posture, it should be a rhythm to be reused.
Comparing the two of them, Gu Jialuo should give up the house.
Yi Cheng frowned, yes, the rules are these rules, but you need to be cautious.
Thinking about Gu Jialuo's bearing and the behavior of the slaves and maids at home, Yi Cheng didn't dare to offend easily, he gritted his teeth, "Let's go, go out to greet first, and the rest, look at my eyes and act." ”
The post man grabbed his hair, then buttoned up his hat, and rushed out with a few post guards.
Xiao Nineteen and Xiao Thirteen turned the entire post station, touched the house and the post and other situations, and when the two came over, they happened to see the back of the post in a hurry.
After exchanging glances, Xiao 13 quietly chased after him.
Xiao Nineteen entered the upper room.
Outside the post house, Yi Cheng nodded and said good words, "It's really unfortunate today, just a quarter of an hour ago, there was just a family of officials staying overnight...... There are a few houses left, and they're all excellent—"
Before he could finish his words, a crisp female voice asked, "Which official family is it?" The capital is so big, maybe it's still a familiar family. ”
Yi Cheng's smile stiffened, and he pretended to be vague and said: "The little one only knows that it is the family of Lord Cheng Qi of Dali Temple." ”
"Lord Qi? Could it be Qi Boyan? Ouch, speaking of which, we really have a little bit of a kiss and a little bit of a relationship. ”
The woman's voice became more and more happy, but for some reason, Yi Cheng suddenly rubbed her arm, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on it.
