128. Chapter 128
Gu Chongyang watched her walk into the small thatched hut in the pastoral style next to the rockery, so he pretended to be casual and went back to enjoy the orchids.
Seeing that there was a little maid guarding the orchid there, Gu Chongyang beckoned her to come over: "Did you feed the golden pheasants in your home, I just saw a big golden chicken and went to the rockery." ”
"Nope." The little maid shook her head and said: "Our family doesn't feed the golden chicken, the golden chicken is too rare, even if you want to buy it, there is no place." ”
Gu Chongyang raised his voice and said: "But I obviously saw a big golden chicken, with golden feathers on the top of its head, bright red hairs on its belly like fire, and a long and colorful tail, how could it be wrong?" ”
The little maid was a little uncertain.
Miss Gu said it in such detail, even the colors and patterns were clear, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, how could she say it so vividly? Besides, Miss Gu has no need to lie to herself at all.
Could it be that someone else recently gave a gift to an adult, and I don't know it?
It's better to believe that there is no credible, if there is really a golden chicken and you don't look for it, you will definitely be hit by the board at that time.
The little maid immediately lost the things in her hand and said: "Thank you Miss Gu for suing the slave maid, it may be that the golden chicken in the family has run away, so I will go and sue those mothers-in-law and let them help find it." ”
"Go ahead, that golden pheasant is very beautiful, I want to see it again."
Their conversation was heard by the other little girls, and they were all a little curious, especially Shen Suying, who was even more eager to try: "I have grown so big, and I have never seen a golden chicken." Since the golden pheasant is so beautiful and so precious, why don't we go and help find it together. If it is found, it is better to return it to the prefect's wife as soon as possible, so as not to be punished. ”
She said it soundingly, but in fact, she just wanted to play. This mention has been approved by many young ladies, after all, going out to find a golden pheasant is much more interesting than appreciating orchids.
Seeing the ladies running towards the rockery one after another, Gu Chongyang quietly retreated and ran to find his aunt.
Mrs. Shen was talking to her eldest daughter, Shen Su'e, and Shen Su'e sobbed: "...... The body is not happy, the father-in-law accepted another maid, and the mother-in-law said him a few times, but it was useless at all......"
When Gu Chongyang entered, Shen Su'e's eyes were red, and there were faint tears, Gu Chongyang knew that he was reckless, but when he thought that he could get rid of Su Xiuyue today, the apology in his heart quickly dissipated: "Uncle, Cousin Su Ying went to the depths of the garden with the other ladies to find the golden chicken." ”
"But we don't have a golden chicken at home!" Shen Su'e hurriedly stood up: "My sister won't be going to cause any trouble again, right?" ”
Mrs. Shen was also taken aback: "This Su Ying really doesn't make people worry for a moment." Hurry up and come with me to see, don't make any trouble. ”
Shen Su'e was also afraid that her sister would get into trouble, so she took the maid and Mrs. Shen to find Shen Suying, but as soon as they arrived at the rockery, they saw that the young ladies were all red-faced, their eyes dodged and turned back, as if something terrible had happened.
It's over, Su Ying must be in trouble again.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Su'e glanced at each other, and they saw a deep worry in each other's eyes.
"What's going on?"
Shen Su'e is the host, so she grabbed a young lady and asked.
"There was a man and a woman in a hut ......"
The young lady's face was red, she really couldn't say anything, Shen Su'e and Mrs. Shen's faces changed greatly, their hearts were cold, and they accelerated their pace and ran towards the small hut.
The prefect's wife also heard the news, and hurried over with her personal servant: "Mrs. in-laws, we never thought of such a thing. Su Ying, this child was grown up by me, don't worry, no matter who is light on Su Ying, I will definitely ask him to give Su Ying and the Shen family an explanation. ”
Mrs. Shen's face was pale, and she trembled, but she couldn't speak. She couldn't believe that her daughter was so stubborn that she would do such a thing.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly stepped forward and shook Mrs. Shen's hand: "Auntie, although Cousin Su Ying has a playful personality, she will never do such a thing, I just saw Cousin Su Ying take the ladies to find Jinji, from the perspective of time, it will never be Cousin Su Ying, don't worry!" ”
After listening to Gu Chongyang's words, Mrs. Shen also reacted, yes, it was only a moment before and after, and the time was not right at all. Besides, if Su Ying really came so nonsense, how could he take the ladies with great fanfare.
It seems that there must be a mistake.
Shen Su'e also reacted, and said to the prefect's wife: "Mother-in-law, Su Ying was enjoying orchids with other young ladies just now, and she went to the rockery in groups with other young ladies, and I am afraid that there are other people in the small hut." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a disheveled man burst out of the small hut, he covered his head and face with his clothes, pushed open the door, and ran away.
The ladies screamed louder.
The prefect's wife was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the two Buddhas went out of the body, this is the prefect's back house, and she feasted on the lady of Nanjing City.
"What are you still doing in a daze, don't take down that thief for me! Hit hard, kill this thing that doesn't have long eyes. ”
Several mothers-in-law got the order, and they used all their resources to rush up and knock the man down, and they beat him in the head and face.
The mother-in-law had big shoulders and round waists, pressed and pressed, beaten, kicked, kicked, and kicked, and the man who was pressed to the ground was still silent, and after a while, he exhaled in pain.
Gu Chongyang looked at it and only felt unusually relieved.
"Stop fighting, stop it, it's me, it's me!"
The second son of the Dou family cried out in mourning, and everyone felt more and more wrong when they heard the voice, especially the prefect's wife, who gave birth to two sons in total, how could she not hear her son's voice.
Her face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Stop, stop, stop for me!" ”
The mothers-in-law looked at each other and stopped one after another, Dou Ergongzi had already been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he vomited blood.
When the prefect's wife saw her son like this, she immediately felt like a knife, and wanted to pounce on her son to see her, but because there were people around her, she had to endure it, so she had to pretend to scold: "Evil obstacles, why did you come here?" Which shameless little hoof hooked you in? ”
Others don't know what virtue her son is, but she herself knows it clearly. Like his father who is the prefect, he doesn't have any hobbies, but he can't walk when he sees a woman.
But no matter how ridiculous the son is, he won't come when he holds an orchid feast, someone must have deliberately seduced him. The young lady who is 28 classics is not so bold, and eighty percent are the maids in the house who want to climb the bed.
The prefect's wife gritted her back molars and said: "Don't you quickly pull out the cheap hooves that seduce the masters, dare to flout the family rules, lewd. Mess up the house, seduce the young master, take her down, beat her, beat hard! ”
The mother-in-law injured the young master with their dead hands, and they were trembling and worried that the lady would blame them, and after listening to the instructions of the prefect's wife, they rushed into the small hut like a wolf.
With the lesson just learned, they did not dare to go up and beat people indiscriminately, so they first grabbed the disheveled young girl and dragged her out of the dim and messy little hut.
The girl was wearing a carmine dress, and at a glance she knew that it was not the maid's dress, but her hair was scattered, covering her cheeks, making it difficult to see her face.
Gu Chongyang pretended to be panicked and shouted, "Miss Su, how could it be you?" ”
At this moment, not only the prefect's wife, but even Shen Su'e, Mrs. Shen and the young ladies were stunned.
Shen Su'e hurriedly whispered a few words in the ear of the prefect's wife, and the prefect's face showed a reassuring look. It's just a concubine of a merchant family, and she was accepted as a concubine, and when it was spread, people would only say that the Su family's family style was not strict, and she didn't hurt her son Qiu.
No matter how hard it takes to blink an eye, the prefect's wife already has a countermeasure in her heart.
On the one hand, she instructed someone to ask the doctor to treat her son's injuries, and said to Shen Su'e: "Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly help Miss Su to your yard to freshen up, young men and women, not Ai Fangxing, this is not a big deal, our Dou family is not the kind of irresponsible person, I will go to Mrs. Su to make amends, punish if you should be punished, and compensate if you should be compensated, and our Dou family will have no complaints." Mrs. in-laws, please come with me to see Mrs. Su and explain the matter clearly. ”
The last sentence was said to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen nodded and glanced at Gu Chongyang, who was busy and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I will find Cousin Su Ying." ”
Mrs. Shen was relieved and left with the prefect's wife.
Mrs. Prefect's words made Su Xiuyue feel overjoyed, it was in vain that she didn't leave a way back for herself, and today she really got her wish. It's ridiculous that my mother-in-law actually accepted a thousand taels of silver from the widower and wanted to marry an old man in his thirties, and when she heard the news, she must have a wonderful face.
It's a pity that she can't see it with her own eyes if she wants to avoid the edge for the time being.
Su Xiuyue's heart was full of joy and excitement of success and ambition, but unfortunately this pride did not last long, and the little girls around her stared at her with strange eyes, and they were bold and even whispered with disdain.
Those eyes were as sharp as knives, as if they could pierce her clothes, and seeing her body made her have nothing to hide, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to.
Can't panic, can't bow her head, as long as she passes today, she will be the concubine of the second son of the prefect's family, as long as she holds the heart of the second son of Dou tightly and gives birth to a boy as soon as possible, it is too late for others to flatter her, how can she remember today's ugly things?
Those people are polite and pointing fingers at themselves on the surface, but in fact, they are envious, jealous and hateful to her in their hearts.
She can't be defeated by them, as long as it is after today, no one can look down on her in the future.
Faintly, she raised her head, not only did not shy away from the eyes of the ladies, but was a little proud.
Those ladies who stared at her lowered their heads instead, not because they didn't dare to look at her, but because they had never seen such a brazen person, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing that everyone was forced by her gaze and bowed their heads in shame, Su Xiuyue snorted coldly and raised the corners of her mouth.
A little girl suddenly walked out of the crowd, walked up to Su Xiuyue, raised her hand and gave Su Xiuyue a slap in the face.
The mother-in-law next to Mrs. Prefect hurriedly came up to stop the little girl, coaxing and persuading: "Second Miss Su, what are you doing?" Whatever is the matter, the ladies and ladies are in charge, and this is not something that you ladies can participate in. ”
The second miss of the Su family turned a deaf ear, only ashamed and angry, gritted her teeth and glared at this concubine sister, hating to eat her alive: "Why are you so shameless!" Just like your dead aunt! If it weren't for your aunt seducing your father, how could she have given birth to you? You think you are taking revenge on my mother and me by doing this today, you think that you will be able to marry into the prefect's family if you succeed in your treacherous plan today, I sue you, you are dreaming! Your aunt was found guilty by her father because of her unruly behavior, and she really has a mother and a daughter. Do you think that no one knows about it for many years? I'm going to make the ugly things your mother do public, and I'm going to see if the prefect's wife will let you in!" ”
The second lady of the Su family was flushed and trembling all over, she was very angry.
The Su family is a new merchant, and it has been difficult for them to gain a foothold in recent years, and their sisters have also reached the time to say goodbye, and now Su Xiuyue is making such a fuss, not to mention that her father and mother will not be able to go out to meet people in the future, and even her marriage with her sister will be implicated.
As soon as her words fell, the crowd let out a "boom", and everyone began to turn their heads and ears.
Everyone only knew that two years ago, an aunt in the Su family had an affair with a little maid and gave birth to a son, was caught on the way to elope, and finally hanged herself, but she didn't know that it was Su Xiuyue's biological mother.
After listening to the words of the second lady of the Su family, everyone reacted immediately. Seeing Su Xiuyue's gaze becoming more and more contemptuous and disdainful, even the mother-in-law who comforted the second lady of the Su family looked at Su Xiuyue's eyes full of disdain.
Su Xiuyue's face was pale, trembling all over, her hands were clenched into fists tightly, and she didn't say a word no matter how her sister abused.
At this moment, Su Xiuyue is a little pitiful, but it is also the path she chooses. Gu Chongyang saw it and sighed in his heart, but he never regretted it. This is her own choice, and she didn't force her, so she doesn't feel guilty about it, it's just taking advantage of each other.
In the end, it was Shen Su'e who came out of the round and took Su Xiuyue away from here.
Shen Suying ran over hand in hand with a young lady, she ran very fast, her face flushed slightly and asked Gu Chongyang: "What are you all doing here, the sound is buzzing, we all heard it in the bamboo forest." ”
What a big heart!
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll tell you slowly." ”
She stretched out her hand, plucked the bamboo leaves from Shen Suying's hair, and whispered to Shen Suying what had just happened.
As they were talking, suddenly there was the sound of a bell striking a bell, and it kept ringing.
Shen Suying tilted his head and listened for a while, and said indifferently: "Huh? This is another noble person in the capital who has passed away. ”
Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly became a little nervous, it was Emperor Jianxing who died, that is to say, King Rong was about to become a vassal and he was going to send people to contact the major rich and powerful officials and wealthy businessmen in the south.
A few days later, Gu Chongyang got the news from Shen Suying that Su Xiuyue's biological mother was exposed, which really had a slight impact on Su Xiuyue, but in the end, she still became the aunt of the second son of the Su family.
This result can be regarded as a happy one, Su Xiuyue got her wish, and Gu Chongyang also solved a problem for the Shen family and the future second cousin.
It's just that my cousin has been a little depressed recently.
The Shen family has big rules, and he is never allowed to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, and his mind has never been told to others, so he is only secretly sad and distressed.
But Gu Chongyang couldn't bear to let him be so depressed, thinking that his uncle had always been reluctant to buy more grain, so he had an idea in his heart.
She decided to buy the grain herself.
With the experience of her previous life, she can make a lot of money by buying grain now, and in a few months. Her participation in the Shen family's business can attract her uncle's attention on the one hand, and on the other hand, if King Rong really sends someone to contact her uncle, she can also get the news as soon as possible.
In any case, she had to prevent her uncle from boarding King Rong's ship.
"Uncle, I have taken a fancy to a business, a million profits, but there are still shortcomings, can I borrow something from you?"
"Hey, we Chongyang have been thinking about business since we were so young, not bad, not to mention that you have welcomed your cousin, even if you make your cousin not as bold as you." Shen Yucheng likes his niece's character of daring to think and do, so he naturally agreed: "You still lack something, just say it!" ”
Gu Chongyang said: "I want to borrow 10,000 taels of silver from my uncle, borrow a warehouse, five guys, a second shopkeeper, twenty handymen, and let my cousin let him come to help me too." ”
Shen Yucheng laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that you have nothing, and you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and you will borrow all the capital and labor from me." ”
Gu Chongyang walked to Shen Yucheng's side: "Then uncle, do you agree?" ”
"Of course I agree, but you have to tell me first, what business are you going to do. 10,000 taels of silver, so many people, you can do a lot of business. Shen Yucheng's face was full of appreciation: "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, as soon as you open your mouth, it is such a big stroke, your uncle will definitely support it, what business do you want to sue me, and my uncle will also help you with your staff." ”
Uncle was afraid that she would be deceived, but he was afraid that saying it directly would discourage her enthusiasm, so he said it so tactfully.
In addition to his mother, his uncle is the person who loves him in the world.
Gu Chongyang's eyes were slightly wet, and he became more and more determined to protect his uncle's family.
"I'm going to buy grain." Gu Chongyang, who had originally thought of it, didn't need to use it, she decided to tell her uncle directly about her thoughts: "Uncle, last year, the rain in the north was not adjusted, and there was a great drought in many places, and this year there will definitely be many businessmen from the north who go south to buy grain, and the imperial court will even come forward to buy grain." So, I decided to take a gamble, buy grain, and sell it at a high price when that time came. ”
"But 10,000 taels of silver is too much!" It was the eldest cousin Shen Qian who spoke: "How many catties do you plan to collect?" ”
Gu Chongyang saw that Shen Yucheng didn't speak, and knew that his uncle might think the same as his eldest cousin, so she said: "As little as 6,000 catties, as much as 10,000 catties." ”
Not to mention Shen Qian, who has been helping Shen Yucheng take care of the industry, Mrs. Shen, Shen Suying, and Qian's cousin-in-law are all dumbfounded. Shen Rang, who was originally very depressed, also frowned.
They felt that Gu Chongyang was just messing around, but no one spoke, but they all looked at Shen Yucheng, the head of the family.
They felt that Shen Yucheng would definitely not agree.
Shen Yucheng really didn't want to agree, he also felt that Gu Chongyang's doing this was too exaggerated, it was a lack of food, wasn't there still a household department, how could it be that even the imperial court went south to buy grain.
Gu Chongyang was secretly anxious, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he exposed the news that the household was greedy for ink, and when the imperial court was ready to use grain, he found that the real grain storage was only one percent, and the remaining grain bags were full of stones and dregs. If it hadn't been for the timely purchase of grain from the south, the disaster victims from the north would have poured into the capital, which would have almost caused a catastrophe. In that year, Nanjing's grain harvest was extremely small, and the new emperor even personally issued an order to reprimand the Nanjing prefect for not collecting grain effectively.
But although she knew these things in her heart, she couldn't tell her uncle.
She also knew that her request was ridiculous, but she had no good reason to convince her uncle, so she had to look at Shen Yucheng with a blank eye.
Shen Yucheng originally didn't want to agree, but after all, this was the first time his niece opened her mouth to borrow something from him, if she refused, wouldn't it chill Chongyang's heart?
Especially when he saw Chongyang looking at him expectantly, his facial features were exactly the same as his deceased sister, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.
"Okay." Shen Yucheng said kindly: "Since you want to collect grain, then just go, if you lack anything, just tell your uncle, since you want your cousin to come with you, then let him go, you can also teach him well, let him learn to do business with you." ”
She knew her uncle wouldn't refuse. In the previous life, the uncle would agree to more excessive and unreasonable requests than this, not to mention that it was only 10,000 taels of silver.
"I know that my uncle loves me the most, you are really the best uncle in this world." Gu Chongyang was very happy, walked to Shen Yucheng's side, smiled like a flower, patted his ass, and hammered Shen Yucheng's back: "Uncle, rest fast, don't worry, my cousin and I will definitely collect the grain well, do things properly, and never embarrass you." ”
"Good, good, good." Shen Yucheng was flattered by Gu Chongyang, smiled from ear to ear, and kept praising Chongyang for being well-behaved and filial.
His two daughters, the eldest daughter Shen Su'e is introverted and generous, and the second daughter Shen Suying is lively and generous, but none of them have a sweet mouth like Gu Chongyang.
Anyway, it's only 10,000 taels of silver, and the Shen family can't afford to pay it. It's a big deal to sell old grain in the next two years, and buy Chongyang with 10,000 taels of silver, this business is very cost-effective.
Everyone in the Shen family was stunned.
Although the Shen family is rich, Shen Yucheng is extremely cautious in doing business, so he did not encounter major risks, and he even taught his son that "seeking wealth and danger" is not suitable for the Shen family, and the Shen family should be stable. But no one thought that he would be so generous in the face of Gu Chongyang, not only love, but also doting.
Shen Qian Shen made it rare for the two brothers to see their father have such good words, after this incident, the eyes that looked at Gu Chongyang became different again, it seems that in his father's heart, what his niece said was much more effective than what his son said.
Shen Suying didn't think about it so much, she looked at Gu Chongyang dumbfounded, and said incredulously: "Chongyang, you are really good at sycophancy, don't you blush when you say those sweet words?" ”
Gu Chongyang's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "This is my uncle, I am his niece, what I say is from my heart, so I am not a sycophant." My uncle is the best uncle in the world, except for my mother, he is the person closest to me and the person who loves me the most. My uncle is doing business very hard, I can't share anything for my uncle, and I can't drag my uncle back, as long as I do a good job in this grain purchase, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and I am my uncle's niece in vain. ”
Shen Suying was defeated by Gu Chongyang, but Shen Yucheng laughed, his face was full of relief: "Chongyang is right, Su Ying, you should learn from your cousin Chongyang." Chongyang wanted to do business not long after she came, and she is more like the Shen family than you. ”
Shen Suying was unconvinced and said: "I also want to do business, but there is no way and no funds, and you won't give it so happily when I ask you for money." ”
As she spoke, her eyes purred, she walked to Shen Yucheng's side, hammered his other shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why don't you do this, Dad, you let me also harvest grain with my cousin Chongyang, so that I can also have a long experience?" ”
"That's not good, just have your second brother, don't make trouble for your Chongyang cousin."
Shen Suying was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Listen to what you say, it's you who say that I can't do business, and it's you who doesn't let me make trouble, what do you want me to do!" ”
Saying that, she glanced at Gu Chongyang.
Gu Chongyang understood and said busily: "Uncle, I can't be busy alone, so let Cousin Su Ying help me." When the two of us have made money, we will hold a table of banquets and thank you very much. ”
"Hmm." Shen Yucheng glanced at his daughter with a face full of resentment and expectation, and then at his niece who was smiling like a flower, and waved his big hand: "Okay, I'll wait to drink the wine of the two of you." ”
Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Don't worry!" ”
said that Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying were going to do it, but in fact, the two of them only had to move their mouths, one Gu Tailai ran errands, and Shen Rang was also instructed by the two of them.
Seeing his sister and cousin sitting in the warehouse roasting a brazier and eating snacks, he just had to wait for the grain to be sent over for registration, but he had to follow people to the countryside to collect food. Seeing that more than half a month had passed, and the grain harvest was too bad, his sin was finally taken over.
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work." Shen Suying saw that his brother followed five or six men to escort a batch of grain in, and came over with a cup of tea with a smile: "Sit down quickly and rest your feet." ”
Shen Rang was very tired, but it was rare to see his sister considerate, so he took the teacup and said, "Haven't you always been at odds with me?" Why will you bring me tea, there won't be anything in this tea, right? ”
"Cut!" Shen Suying resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him: "You used to know that eating and drinking behind your eldest brother and father was a bit of a manly appearance of the Shen family these days, if it weren't for Cousin Chongyang saying that you have worked hard these days, I wouldn't have sent it to you." ”
Shen Rang was stunned when he heard this, but it was rare that he didn't argue with his sister.
Yes, let alone his sister, even he himself found that he had become different.
When he went to the countryside to collect grain, he found that it was not an easy task to collect grain, some people were very poor, and there was not enough food to eat, but in order to treat their children, they had to sell the only remaining grain. Some people are very rich, but they must pay more baht. There are also people who are shoddy, forced to buy and sell. As for those who want to take advantage of the trouble, there are even more.
At first, he was at a loss, so he could only follow the guy who collected the grain to help, and later he could grab a handful to know whether the grain was dry enough and whether it was deliberately mixed with water. At a glance, you can tell whether it is new or old.
And those guys, the eyes that looked at him also changed from contemptuous and distant to admiring and close. In the past few days, he has learned that the Shen family's business is not so easy, and he really feels that he is the Shen family and wants to work hard for the development and growth of the Shen family.
It's a feeling like never before. This qiē is thanks to Cousin Chongyang.
Shen Rang looked at the way Gu Chongyang carefully registered the amount of grain, and couldn't help but be full of gratitude to her, Cousin Chongyang was so smart, she must have deliberately wanted to let herself learn this.
He walked up to Gu Chongyang and didn't speak.
Gu Chongyang saw that he had darkened a big circle, not only did he not look like a rich kid in the past, but he was no different from those little guys. smiled and said, "Let my cousin, it's hard work." ”
"What is this hard work!" Shen Rang smiled and looked at the guy behind him who was carrying the grain: "It's hard for them to follow me in the east village and the west village." How fast the grain can be harvested, so good, is all the credit of the guys. ”
Those guys smiled and said, "It's the young master and the cousin who are leading the way, and we don't dare to take credit." ”
It's only been a month, and my cousin has matured a lot.
Gu Chongyang looked at it and felt relieved in his heart, so he said: "The second young master is right, everyone has really worked hard these days, and when things are done, everyone will be rewarded." ”
"Thank you, cousin."
Gu Chongyang said to Shen Su again: "Cousin has also worked hard, let's go to Jiming Temple to play in a few days." ”
Shen Suying clapped her hands happily when she heard this: "Good cousin, I know that I can't be wrong with you." ”
As he spoke, Chong Shen raised his eyebrows, and his face was bright.
Jiming Temple has a long history, has the reputation of the first temple in the Southern Dynasty, and is the most prosperous temple of incense in Nanjing.
It is the end of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the scenery of Nanjing is pleasant, and there are many pilgrims in the Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang received a total of 8,000 catties of grain, completed a major event, and felt happy, and was very bold when he heard that Master Zhike asked them to donate silver taels, and it was one hundred taels as soon as he made a move. Although Master Zhike's expression remained the same, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he became more patient when talking to them.
After going to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to pray for blessings, Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying had a disagreement, Shen Suying wanted to see the rouge well, but Gu Chongyang wanted to see the pearl surge, if he went to see the rouge well first and then went to see the pearl surge, the time must be too late, and finally the two agreed to go their separate ways.
Shen Rang accompanied Shen Suying to see the Rouge Well, while Gu Chongyang went to see the pearl surge by himself, and they finally met at the Guanyin Temple.
The pearl surge is one of the 48 scenic spots in Nanjing, which is famous for the churning water of the river and the water droplets like pearls. The banks of the Pearl River from the Jiming Temple to the pontoon bridge are planted with oleanders and various flowers, and the fragrant grass is full of cherry blossoms.
Gu Chongyang enjoyed the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the Pearl River, and a pair of master and servant came into view.
The hostess looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although she was no longer young, but her appearance was beautiful and slender, which was amazing. Especially the dusty temperament and unforgettable demeanor, she is undoubtedly a peerless beauty who is hard to find.
There are beautiful women in Jiangnan, this sentence is really not said casually. Such a beauty, holding a paper umbrella and wearing flowers and willows, even Gu Chongyang was stupid.
Suddenly, a scream: "Snake, snake, snake......"
Gu Chongyang was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward, as soon as the person ran to the master and servant, the beautiful woman fell down softly, Gu Chongyang only saw the tail of the snake, and disappeared in the flowers for a moment.
The beautiful woman covered her legs and cried out in pain, Gu Chongyang did not hesitate, squatted down and lifted her dress, only to see that the beautiful woman's calves were dark purple, and the wound was still bleeding.
She quickly tore off the beautiful woman's clothes and tied them tightly on both sides of the wound to prevent the spread of the poisonous gas. Seeing that the beautiful woman had passed out, her lips were faintly blue, and if she didn't rescue her, her life would be in danger, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and her brain was also turning rapidly.
Master said that where snakes are infested, there are usually herbs that are used to cure snake venom.
She picked up the flowers with her hands and searched carefully.
When she saw a kind of grass with narrow leaves and small white flowers among the flowers, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was a white-flowered snake tongue grass, which specializes in treating snake venom.
She quickly pulled a handful of leaves, did not wash them, but stuffed them directly into her mouth, chewed them, spit them out, and leaned down to suck the poison on the woman's calf with her mouth.
From the beginning of running over to her sucking snake venom, it was only a moment's work.
Only then did the maid who served beside the beautiful woman react, and hurriedly exclaimed: "This young lady, you will be poisoned like this, if you have three long and two short, the lady will know about it, and she will definitely blame the slave maid." ”
Gu Chongyang took a few sips vigorously, spit out the black poisonous blood, and then put the chewed white-flowered snake tongue grass on the beautiful woman's legs, and said while bandaging her: "I am a doctor, I know the severity." Don't worry, I chewed this white-flowered snake tongue herb that specializes in anti-snake venom in advance, and it will be fine. ”
As she spoke, she felt her tongue tingle slightly, and quickly pulled a handful of white snake tongue grass and put it in her mouth.
"Hurry up and help your wife go back, and detoxify her immediately, otherwise the poison will deepen."
Gu Chongyang said that he had already stood up first, grabbed one of the beautiful woman's arms, and went back to Jiming Temple with the maid.
It turned out that the beautiful woman lived in the retreat of Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang sent their master and servant back, and personally boiled medicine and fed the beautiful woman, and when he saw that the beautiful woman's condition had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother Wu, Madam is fine, I should go back too." ”
"Miss Gu, our son-in-law is back, please come over and speak."
I don't know if it's an illusion, Gu Chongyang felt that Wu's mother was very nervous.
She also had a moment of surprise in her heart, her mother was bitten by a snake, and the son knew about it, shouldn't she be very nervous to come over to visit the situation? Not only did this son not come, but he wanted to see himself first?
However, Gu Chongyang did want to meet the master's son-in-law, because the situation of this beautiful lady was a bit complicated, and he had to talk to the patient's family about the situation, and the patient's family would make a choice.
When Gu Chongyang came to the door of his son's house, a very beautiful little guy opened the curtain, and when he saw Gu Chongyang, he didn't raise his eyebrows, he was very educated.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the smell of agarwood came to the surface, and Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned. Agarwood is precious, and it is difficult to buy it even if you have money, and the person you save must be either rich or expensive.
She settled down and walked in, only to see a young man in a moon-white shirt sitting on a chair in the main seat of the hall, he was drinking tea with his head down, very casually, but he couldn't hide his chic posture. There is a kind of person who doesn't have to do anything, just sits and stands at will, and people's eyes will involuntarily fall on him.
And the man in front of him is exactly this kind of person.
Hearing the movement, he put down the teacup, looked up and said to Gu Chongyang: "My mother was bitten by a snake, thank you Miss Gu for helping me and saving my mother's life." ”
His voice was cold, and he didn't know what was going on, but Gu Chongyang felt a little mocking of himself when he heard it.
She blessed herself, raised her head, and looked up.
The heroic sword eyebrows were slightly raised, a little impatient, the shining star eyes were very sharp, the ink-like eyes, the delicate and flawless facial features, although he smiled, the smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, and the curved mouth even seemed to mock something.
She couldn't help but feel like she had been struck by lightning.
Wang Jiulang!
She actually met the famous Yushu Gongzi Wang Jiulang!
