Chapter 15: Decoctions

"Of course I do." Mother stretched out her hand and wanted to touch her little face, but her hand was in the air, but she withdrew her hand as if she remembered something: "You can help me heal, but you have to promise your mother that you can't come into your mother's room in the future, and you have to listen to Mama Wu's words, you know?" ”

"Yes!" Gu Chongyang readily agreed.

With a pleased smile on her mother's face, Mama Wu knelt on the ground choked up, and kowtowed to her mother with a "knock": "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of Miss and never live up to your trust." ”

"Good!" The mother smiled weakly: "Chongyang, you go out, I have something to say to Mama Wu." ”

Since she was reborn, her mother has always called her nannan, and it is the first time that she has called her name like this.

Mother looks like this, she is clearly supporting the orphan!

It seems that the mother believed Dr. Li's words and thought that she had tuberculosis, so she was reluctant to let herself get close.

She listened to her mother and reassured her. When her mother took her own medicine, she would believe that she knew how to heal and that she had not lied to her.

Right now, nothing is more important than my mother's illness.

Gu Chongyang nodded and walked out without saying a word.

She remembered her previous life, when her mother died, she was not around.

In the fourteenth year of Jianxing, on the eighth day of November, the eldest aunt's mother, Mrs. Linjianghou, celebrated her birthday. She and her sisters wore red and green together, dressed up newly, and followed her aunt to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion early in the morning.

Linjiang Houfu is the maiden home of the eldest aunt and the maternal grandfather of the elder sister. The eldest aunt was given back to her parents' house under the auspices of the Gu family, so they stayed late that day. It wasn't until late afternoon that they returned to Gu's house.

When she returned home, what awaited her was not her mother's cold greetings, but a cold coffin.

She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time.

Mother is dead! Mama Wu, who loved her, also died.

Others say that her mother died suddenly and violently, but Mama Wu had a deep relationship with her mother's master and servant, and she was martyred and hanged herself.

She was ignorant at that time, and knew nothing but crying for her mother.

But today, looking at her mother Tuogu's appearance, she couldn't help but have a suspicion in her heart.

Her mother loved her, and even though she learned that she was tuberculosis, she still remembered her and entrusted her to Mama Wu.

In this life, my mother can do this, it makes no sense that she didn't leave a word in her previous life.

There is also Mama Wu, she is her mother's nursing mother, she regards her mother as her own daughter, and she also loves herself.

My mother is dead, and my father is upright and in his prime, and he must continue the strings. As an old man before her mother's death, Mama Wu has a heavy responsibility, shouldn't she take care of her body, raise herself well, and avoid her and her mother's dowry from falling into the hands of her stepfamily? How could she go to death?

Since Mama Wu is not even afraid of death, it can be seen that she is very loyal. After her mother's death, such a loyal Mama Wu did not take care of her mother's bones, but chose to be martyred, handing over the little master to the stepfamily, and letting her suffer.

Gu Chongyang felt that he couldn't figure it out!

Did something happen in your previous life that you didn't know? My mother died of illness, and no one seems to be able to tell what kind of illness it is.

Gu Chongyang sighed, only blaming himself for being ignorant and ignorant in his previous life, and he didn't understand anything.

The question of the previous life, she never had a chance to figure it out again.

Because in this life, my mother will not die, but watch herself grow up safely and healthily, watch my father rise step by step, and her husband and wife will be noble, and she will live a peaceful and happy life.

Gu Chongyang clenched his fists and decided to treat his mother.

My mother's illness was not particularly severe, but she used the wrong medicine, and if she didn't treat it quickly, it would become a lung wilt.

Fortunately, Dr. Li Xingchun was afraid of death and did not come up to give his mother a pulse, if he had a pulse, he would never say that his mother was tuberculosis.

Therefore, she had to boil medicine for her mother immediately.

The yin qi in my mother's lungs hurt too badly, and she had to prescribe medicine to nourish yin immediately.

Gu Chongyang already had a prescription in her mind, she went back to her room, wrote down the prescription, and then grabbed the medicine according to the prescription.

Boiling medicine is very important, and she doesn't want to fake it to others, so she watches it herself in the kitchen.

The kitchen is in the small yard behind the inn.

Gu Chongyang carried the medicinal herbs in a basket and came to the kitchen.

In the open space at the door of the kitchen, two or three young men of twelve or thirteen years old were chopping wood.

They were in rags and sweating profusely, and when they saw Gu Chongyang coming, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Chongyang.

In Gu Chongyang's eyes, they are all children. Therefore, she smiled at them kindly, took out three or four pieces of caramel from her purse and handed them to them: "Take it and eat it." ”

Under Gu Chongyang's gaze, the young men were a little cramped, and even lowered their heads in shame.

"Take it!" Gu Chongyang said: "This caramel is very sweet. ”

A young man with dark skin and bright eyes walked up to Gu Chongyang and squatted down, his hands stretched out on the ground: "We are dirty, we don't dare to take things from the noble hands, noble people, you can throw the sugar on the ground." ”

Gu Chongyang was slightly surprised, this young guy is really eye-catching!

She smiled slightly, threw the candy down one by one, and the candy fell firmly into the young man's hand.

"Thank you!" The young man grinned, grabbed the candy and walked to the firewood, and said to the other two young men: "There are four in total, one for each of the three of us, and the remaining one belongs to me, even if it is my hard work for errands." ”

"How does this work?" The two young men didn't agree: "You just said two auspicious words." ”

The young man immediately raised his hand high: "If you don't agree, I won't give you any sugar." It's all mine! Since you can speak auspicious words, go and tell your nobles, and if you give you candy, I don't want yours. ”

When the two young men heard this, they looked at each other and were defeated: "Okay, it's up to you, just give you two." ”

What a clever guy!

Gu Chongyang heard the sound of them calculating sugar in the kitchen, and his heavy mood was much lighter.

"Miss, do you need me to help you with anything?" Lu Wu looked at Gu Chongyang's soaking medicine, making fire, and decocting medicine very skillfully, and was a little surprised.

Gu Chongyang looked at the stove very patiently, and didn't raise his head: "You take twenty taels of silver and buy half a basket of fresh lotus root from the innkeeper." ”

"Miss, this season, how can there be fresh lotus roots?" Luwu was a little embarrassed: "Even if there is, it's all in the mud, it's so cold, and no one goes down to fish." ”

"That's why I asked you to take twenty taels of silver." Gu Chongyang raised his head to look at the green man, his face was grim: "Twenty taels is not enough, give forty taels, forty taels is not enough, give one hundred taels, there will always be someone willing to go down to fish lotus roots from the mud." ”

"Miss, why do you have to have lotus roots!" Lu Wu said step by step: "Is it better to change to something else?" ”

Gu Chongyang stared at her intently: "If you don't want to go, just tell me directly, I will think of other ways, don't bargain with me." ”

Lu Wu was taken aback by Gu Chongyang, and hurriedly said, "I'll ask Mama Wu!" After saying that, he ran away.

Gu Chongyang sat down discouraged.

Luwu and Qingzhi are very obedient, but they listen to their mother or Mama Wu, and it is too much trouble to ask them to do something.

In the future, if you want to walk in the inner court, you must have someone who can command you to move.

If every day is like this in the future, she will be annoyed to death.

The people in her yard don't have the same heart as themselves, and this situation is too bad.

Fortunately, Luwu and Qingzhi are both fifteen years old and have reached the age of marriage. After returning to the capital, he asked his mother to make the decision to find a good family to marry them, and then buy a few little maids to come back and slowly train them.

She didn't believe she couldn't find someone she could handle.

After the death of his mother in the previous life, many people took refuge in their stepmothers, only Luwu and Qingzhi stayed by their side, and Gu Chongyang was grateful for this friendship.

But after being reborn, what she needs is not protection, not coaxing like a child, what she needs is execution and loyalty.

only listened to her Gu Chongyang's words, and was loyal to Gu Chongyang alone. Only such a maid is what she needs.

"Miss! Give me twenty taels of silver, and I promise to bring you a basket of fresh lotus roots. ”

A crisp voice came from behind him.

Gu Chongyang turned around in response, and saw the black-faced young man standing at the door holding firewood just now and smiling at himself.

"Can you get fresh lotus roots?" Gu Chongyang asked him with great interest: "You are so short, jumping into the pond, the water can drown you, how do you pick lotus roots?" ”

"Miss, don't care how I pick it, you give me twenty taels of silver, and before dark, I promise to send you the lotus root."

"But why should I believe you?" Gu Chongyang asked him: "A young man like you, I can buy one for five taels of silver." If you buy more, the price can be cheaper. Twenty taels of silver, you can buy four or five little guys like you. I gave you the money, what if you run away with the money? Won't I be empty of money and money? ”

Yes?

The young man was dumbfounded, scratching his head helplessly, as if racking his brains to find a way.

"Miss, my name is Zaozi, I grew up eating 100 family meals, and there is no one in the whole Botou Town who doesn't know me. I don't have anything serious to do now, and I haven't sold myself to Uncle Zhao in the inn, I'm just an idle gang, who has less people to do things, and needs help, as long as I say hello, I'll be there immediately. ”

"For people like us, reputation is more important than life. If my reputation is bad, who will dare to ask me to do things in the future, if I really cheat your money with a clear conscience, you just need to tell Uncle Zhao, my reputation will be very bad, didn't I kill myself? ”

As he spoke, he slapped his chest loudly: "Don't say it's a fraud of money, even if I found silver on the road, I don't dare to ask for it." If you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire, my dates are well-known for their fair prices. ”
