Chapter 20: Mother Asks
"Nannan, tell me honestly, where did you learn your medical skills?"
Born to the Shen family, there is only this one daughter, so she naturally values love and care like an eyeball. How can her daughter turn a blind eye to such a big change.
She understands her daughter, who is a lively and coquettish person who doesn't care about everything. But once you take something to heart, you will be very stubborn.
Especially two days ago, she actually said such absurd things as being a doctor and going out to practice medicine to treat people. At first, I thought she was a child's nonsense, but from my daughter's appearance in the past two days, it seems that she is by no means a whim.
What the hell is going on?
The more Shen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the tone of his questioning became a little stern.
Although he had already prepared to be questioned by his mother, at this moment, seeing his mother's solemn face and sharp eyes staring at him, Gu Chongyang's heart was still sudden.
But she was the one who had died once, not a real ten-year-old girl, and she could say the words that had passed through her mind several times with one mouth.
"Mother, I did dream that the old gods taught me medicine and taught me to heal people. But not in the last two days, but three years ago. The first sentence came out, and the following words became more and more smooth: "As soon as I passed my birthday, an old fairy came to teach me medicine in a dream, teach me medical science, and teach me to give people a pulse." For three years, he came every night without a single break. I remember everything that happened in my dreams clearly, as if it had happened. โ
Mother's voice was a little tight: "That's from when you were seven years old?" โ
"Yes!" Gu Chongyang nodded: "I was very scared at first, but the old immortal said that he was my ancestor and would never harm me, let me learn from him well, and it will naturally be useful in the future." He repeatedly told me not to sue others, otherwise I would leak the secret of heaven and the consequences would be unimaginable. โ
"Nonsense!" The mother slapped the mattress, and her face became more and more cold: "The ancestor of the Gu family is Wu Ding on the border, and there is no one who knows medical skills at all, how can he be your ancestor?" Hello, you're still lying? โ
Mother is really not as easy to fool as Mama Wu, but she has already thought of a countermeasure.
"Mother, I'm not lying." Seeing that his mother was angry, Gu Chongyang's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "He said that his surname is Shen Mingse, and he is my maternal โกโก father, that is, my mother, your grandfather." He was very heartbroken when he saw that the Shen family's business was getting bigger and bigger, but he had forgotten all the ancestral medical skills, so he decided to teach me all the medical skills. Mother, I'm really not lying! โ
The mother's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she looked at Gu Chongyang in disbelief. Her grandfather is indeed famous, and the ancestor of the Shen family does know how to heal.
"Chongyang, what you said is true?" The corners of my mother's mouth twitched, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
Seeing his mother's reaction like this, Gu Chongyang knew that his mother must have believed what he said.
Mother's maiden grandfather is named, and no one has ever told him.
When she opened her mouth, she said the name of the regent, and also said that her medical skills were taught by the regent, and her mother had to believe it.
The reason why she knew the name of the regent was when her uncle was named the Duke of Liangguo in the previous life, and when her uncle moved the ancestral hall from Nanjing to the capital, she saw it herself. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.
"It's true." Gu Chongyang's eyes were as clear as water, and he was serious about a child: "He taught me for a total of three years, and the last time was the last time I was sick." He told me in a dream that I had learned and that he would never come again. In the future, I don't have to deliberately hide my medical skills as before, I can tell others that I have medical skills. He also said that when others ask in the future, except for the closest people, I must never tell others that my medical skills were taught by him, and only that I learned it from others in Guichi County. โ
"Mother, is he right?"
Mother grabbed Gu Chongyang's hands with a very solemn expression: "He is right, you must not mention this matter to others, even your father." โ
This matter is too absurd, it must be covered to the death, if others know, I am afraid that they will treat Nan Nan as a monster.
"If someone asks, you say that you met a doctor in Guichi County and learned from him. Remember? โ
Seeing that the matter had passed, Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Mother, I remember!" โ
When her mother heard this, she touched her head lovingly, and looked at her with relief and worry: "There are so many people in the Shen family, why did they choose you?" I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? โ
There was a bit of worry in his tone.
"Nature is a good thing." Gu Chongyang said coquettishly: "Mother, I helped you cure your illness." In three days, we will be able to set off, and we will definitely arrive in the capital before October, and we will never miss the old lady's birthday banquet. โ
"yes." Whether she can go home in time to attend the old lady's birthday banquet is what her mother has always been most worried about, and this matter has been settled, and the big stone in her mother's heart has also landed.
"Mother, I did a good job this time, and you haven't rewarded me yet?"
The mother smiled dumbly, and when she saw her daughter looking at her with a blank look in her eyes, she doted on her: "My good girl, what reward do you want?" โ
"Mother, I want personal." Gu Chongyang hit the railway while it was hot: "There is a little guy in this inn, very clever, I like him very much, I want him to come to me to help me do things." โ
"Isn't it enough that you have so many people around you serving you?" The mother asked, "Besides, you don't walk outside, what do you want the little girl to do?" โ
Although there are many people serving, they are not easy to use. Reborn, she didn't want everything to be exposed under her mother's nose. She had to have someone who was loyal and committed to doing things for herself.
She could stomp her foot and pout her lips and say that she wanted that little girl, and her mother would naturally agree. But when carrying herself, her mother will definitely beat the dates, and maybe the dates will become her mother's person again.
It was not easy for her to take a fancy to someone, and she must not listen to herself.
Gu Chongyang's mind turned quickly, but his face was not revealing at all: "Jujube is very smart, and it will get fresh lotus roots, which is different from Qingzhi and Luwu." I think he can usually be an ordinary little guy, and when I have something to go out, I can take him with me. I have my own little house, and it is convenient to do things, and I don't have to ask my mother to assign someone every time I go out. โ
The mother listened and said, "In that case, you can ask the little guy to come over and let me have a look in the afternoon, and if it is all right, you can keep it." โ
When my mother said this, she agreed, and Gu Chongyang was naturally full of joy when she completed a major event: "Thank you, mother!" โ
*********
When it was time for lunch, she went to find the dates.
"The last time you said you wanted to serve me, did you mean it from the heart?"
Zaozi didn't wait for a reply last time, and I didn't see Gu Chongyang for two days, thinking that there was no hope. When Gu Chongyang came to him today, his heart was already very excited, and after hearing Gu Chongyang's question, he immediately patted his chest and said: "What the villain said is naturally true, the villain is willing to follow the eldest lady and go to the soup and fire, and he will not hesitate." โ
Gu Chongyang said: "Once you sell yourself as a servant, you will no longer have a free body, and your net worth and life will be tied to your master." There's no regret medicine for this kind of thing, have you thought about it? โ
"The villain thinks very clearly." Jujube looked very solemn: "That is, as the servant of the young lady, he will be loyal, listen to the words of the young lady, do things for the young lady, and put the young lady first in everything." I do things for the young lady, and I believe that the young lady will not treat me badly. โ
"Why do you think I won't treat you badly?"
Just because she regarded his dates as a person, twenty taels of silver was given to herself.
"Intuitively." Jujube said: "I believe that as long as I can be used by Miss, Miss will not treat me badly." I'm not afraid that Miss will call me, I'm afraid that I'm useless, and Miss doesn't need me. โ
Gu Chongyang's eyes couldn't help flashing, this was so beautiful to say, it almost poked at his weakness at once. Within a few days of knowing him, he knew what he wanted, this jujube was really a smart person.
"You went to see my mother in the afternoon, and after she nodded, you went to my mother's side to write a letter of sale. After writing the essay of selling yourself, you will come to me again. โ
Jujube was overjoyed, but tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart: "Yes! โ
"My mother likes honest people, and she hates flamboyant tongues the most. You should know how to answer. โ
This is the guidance, and the jujube arched his hand and bent over: "Miss Xie instructs." โ
In the evening, when Zaozi came to Gu Chongyang, she was practicing calligraphy.
In the previous life, no one taught her, and her stepmother deliberately raised herself crookedly, her words were ugly, and she was ridiculed by her sisters.
After marrying He Runnian, the contempt between his words deeply pierced her heart.
Since then, she has worked hard to practice calligraphy, although it is not particularly good, but she can finally take it out to meet people.
Her handwriting is not good, she can't do embroidery, and her rules and etiquette are also very poor.
In the previous life, she suffered a loss in this, and in this life, she must make up for it.
