Chapter 5: Awakeness
She took a deep breath and, without hesitation, walked over to the table and picked up the bowl of potion.
lost his mother at the age of ten, raised by his stepmother, suffered a lot, and gained a reputation for being rude; At the age of thirteen, he met He Runnian, and then a heart fell on him.
That's how she Gu Chongyang has been in her life......
Gu Chongyang closed her eyes appointedly, and a crystal clear tear slipped from her eyes. Tears hit the decoction, and the smell of broken intestine grass came to my face.
The medicine bowl was brought to her lips, Gu Chongyang suddenly stopped, and she raised her head to look at Mama Cha.
Not good! Mama Cha's heart couldn't help jumping!
Life is at stake, this lady may not accept her fate so lightly, if she screams, she may not be able to control her alone.
Mama Cha hung her heart and moved towards the door without a trace.
Seeing her defensive posture, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but smile coldly.
"Mama Cha, I'll ask you one last sentence." Gu Chongyang said: "If I die, what are the He family going to say to my father?" ”
She died, and if Chai Xiyue wanted to straighten out, she had to write a book about it.
I wonder what my father would have done when he heard the news of her death? I think it's going to be liberating, right? After all, if she is alive, my father may also be implicated. Others will definitely stay away from his father, maybe the emperor will demote his father's official because of anger, he finally became Xiao Jiuqing, but he can't be implicated because of himself.
In this way, when he died, everyone was happy.
The He family will be satisfied, Chai Xiyue will be happy, and the stepmother will be satisfied......
I wonder if my father will be sad? She's such an unfilial girl! Always brings trouble to her father, no wonder her father doesn't like her.
But in the end, she is her father's biological daughter, and if she dies, won't her father be sad and sad at all? She didn't expect him to do justice for herself, wouldn't he even ask why? Could it be that he would agree to Chai Xiyue's correction without saying a word?
"Ma'am." Mama Cha breathed a sigh of relief almost invisibly, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Chai will always be the aunt of the He family." The new housewife has been chosen, she is the young lady of the Wailang family, a distant relative of Mrs. Tai's mother's family, the most gentle and virtuous, dignified and generous, and will not wronged the eldest young master. ”
"I see!" Gu Chongyang smiled miserably, unable to tell whether it was clear or hopeless, and drank the bowl of broken intestine grass with his head up.
Mama Cha originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, but she didn't expect her to be so decisive, and she was dumbfounded at that time.
Gu Chongyang only felt that her heart was on fire, her abdomen was like a twist, and the pain she had never felt before swept through her whole body.
The headache was cracking, and the brain was booming.
The pain was so intense that she couldn't stand on her feet, and she slammed down on the table like a mountain. The blue and white porcelain tea set on the table was toppled and fell to the ground with a cracking sound.
It was her favorite tea set, a dowry that her uncle had given her.
It's a pity that she can't care about these things now.
Gu Chongyang coughed, and red blood rushed out of her mouth, stinging her eyes.
She raised her head with difficulty, only to see Mama Cha's face turned blue, looking at her with a shocked expression, and her mouth was open and closed to say something, but she couldn't hear a word.
At this time, Mama Cha's face was already like a candle in the wind, flickering far and near, big and small, flickering and flickering......
It turns out that this is what death tastes like.
She tried to keep her eyes open, but she found that her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them.
His throat was also burning and aching terribly.
In a daze, Gu Chongyang heard a voice ringing in his ears.
"How's the fourth miss?" A voice asked.
The other person replied, respectfully and carefully: "I just sweated, the fever has subsided, and my face is much better than before." ”
"Why haven't you woken up yet?" The questioner was even more worried: "Miss is not well yet, and Madame is sick again, how can this be good!" ”
"Mama, don't worry, the fever has subsided, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be fine." The voice became more and more gentle and kind: "Madame is too worried about Miss so she fell ill, and when Miss is safe, Madame's illness will be half gone." ”
"I hope so."
The two of them asked and answered, and they deliberately lowered their voices.
Gu Chongyang felt that their voices were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them.
She struggled to open her eyes, and a bright light pierced her hand to block it.
A surprised and happy voice came from his ear: "Mama, the fourth miss is awake, the fourth miss is awake." ”
Two young girls and an elderly mother immediately surrounded her, and the old mother was even more tearful: "Amitabha, the fourth lady has finally woken up." ”
Gu Chongyang was dumbfounded.
The two young girls were with her from childhood to adulthood, and their stepmother sent them to marry not long after they entered the door.
The stepmother regarded Gu Chongyang as a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh, and in order to establish her authority, she naturally would not let the maid around Gu Chongyang marry into a good family.
Qingzhi died of dystocia not long after she got married, and the life of Luwu was not easy.
By the time Gu Chongyang arrived at his uncle's house and could make his own decisions, Luwu was already riddled with illnesses and his life was short. After Lu Wu died, Gu Chongyang left her daughter Shuang'er to serve by her side, and when Gu Chongyang drank the intestine-breaking grass brought by Cha's mother, Shuang'er was still distributing medicine to the tenants.
But the green angelica and green turnip in front of him are very young, and the green turnip is about the same age as frost, and the water is smart and can pinch out the water.
As for the old mother, Gu Chongyang is more familiar.
She is Gu Chongyang's mother's nurse Mama Wu, who followed her mother from the Shen family in Nanjing to marry into the Gu family in the capital, and was the first person next to her mother.
After her mother died of illness, Mama Wu hanged herself.
It's obviously a person who has already died, how can he stand in front of him alive?
Where is this? What happened?
She clearly remembered that she drank the bowl of poisonous decoction in Liangxiang Grange.
The burning pain in her throat reminded her of what had happened at the Grange before, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
She watched in a daze as Mama Wu brought the tea over and handed it to her lips.
"Fourth Miss, where are you uncomfortable to tell Mama."
The smile on Mama Wu's face was as amiable as ever.
But isn't Mama Wu already dead?
Wrong!
Gu Chongyang reacted suddenly.
Not only Mama Wu, but even herself is dead.
What I saw was not a person, it must be the souls of Mama Wu, Qingzhi and Luwu, who came to pick them up.
This thought rose, and Gu Chongyang immediately sat up: "Qingzhi, Luwu, Mama Wu, it's been so many years, why haven't you been reincarnated?" ”
Just now they said Madame, doesn't that mean that the mother is also with them?
Thinking of this, the joy in Gu Chongyang's heart was even greater: "Are you with my mother?" Did my mother ask you to pick me up? Is my mother okay? Why isn't she here? ”
At the thought of being able to reunite with his mother, Gu Chongyang crackled like pouring beans.
She looked at Mama Wu expectantly, hoping that they would give her an answer soon.
But Qingzhi and Luwu were shocked, looking at themselves as if they had seen a ghost, Gu Chongyang was about to ask what was wrong, but saw that her legs were weak, and she sat down on the ground with a pop.
Gu Chongyang turned his head to look at Mama Wu.
Mama Wu looked at her with a shocked face, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground, making a crisp porcelain cracking sound.
Gu Chongyang's face was puzzled, did he say something wrong?
"Mama!" Qing Zhi's voice was a little sharp: "Fourth Miss, what's wrong?" Be...... Is it a ghost? ”
As she spoke, she had already gotten up from the ground and grabbed Mama Wu's arm. Because she was so shocked, she unconsciously used a lot of strength in her hands, which made Mama Wu's arm hurt.
"Mama, what's wrong with you?" Gu Chongyang's face was confused, and his big eyes were full of doubts. It's clear that she is still the innocent little girl who doesn't know the world. Where is the weirdness just now?
Qingzhi was about to speak, but Mama Wu walked to Gu Chongyang's side first, grabbed Gu Chongyang's hand, half covering up and half comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, the fourth lady is seriously ill, and now it's just right, you should have a good rest, you don't have to think about anything." With Mama here, Miss will be fine. ”
The pity in Mama Wu's eyes, the wrinkles on her face, the white hair on her sideburns, and the texture on her shirt are all so clear.
What the hell is going on? Where the hell are you?
Gu Chongyang had a lot of clues in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it.
This feeling made her anxious, scared, and worried.
Mama Wu gently touched her head and asked her softly, "Miss Good, does your head still hurt?" Do you have a dry throat? Would you like to drink water? ”
Mama Wu talked to herself like a child, but Gu Chongyang couldn't care about it so much at the moment, and the thoughts in her mind occupied her thoughts, she only shook her head blankly, and nodded again after a while: "Mama, my head doesn't hurt anymore, but my throat is very dry." Pour me a cup of tea. ”
Hearing her say this, Mama Wu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a reassuring smile on her face: "Mama, I'll pour tea for Miss." ”
Saying that, Mama Wu really went to the table to pour tea and took a spoon to feed Gu Chongyang.
Gu Chongyang took it with both hands, smiled at Mama Wu, said "thank you", and then drank it in small sips.
Her well-behaved and sensible made a trace of surprise flash in Mama Wu's heart, and she quickly suppressed it again.
After Gu Chongyang finished drinking the water, Mama Wu asked Gu Chongyang if he was hungry, if he wanted to eat, and if he was uncomfortable.
Gu Chongyang said that he was not hungry, he was not uncomfortable, but he was a little tired and wanted to rest alone for a while.
Mama Wu then instructed Qingzhi and Luwu to clean up the fragments of the tea cup and tea leaves on the ground, and personally served Gu Chongyang to sleep, tucked the quilt for her, and saw her fall asleep, before leading Qingzhi and Luwu to tiptoe back.
The room was very quiet, Gu Chongyang, who was already asleep on the bed and was breathing for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes.
