When the second lady heard the report, she sneered: "Hmph, since the beginning of autumn this year, she has done a lot less embroidery work than in previous years. What kind of illness is just to be lazy and pretend! It's because I've been too busy these days to discipline her well, even if she kicks her nose in the face. I'm going to see if she's sick today! ”

The second lady rushed to the Lilac Courtyard angrily, wanting to teach Gu Chongzhi a good lesson, but she didn't expect to startle herself.

Gu Chongzhi's condition is very bad, and he has clearly made a major illness after a minor illness.

She was so frightened that she hurriedly asked someone to get a doctor.

In order to shirk her responsibility, she also beat up the two big girls in the Lilac Courtyard, saying that they did not report in time and delayed Gu Chongzhi's condition.

In this way, everyone in the Gu family knew that the third lady was sick.

When Gu Chongyang got the news, he naturally wanted to visit, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Wu stopped her and didn't let her go.

"Miss, the third lady has a strange disease, and the doctor is helpless and says that it can't be cured. Several young ladies wanted to go to see it, but they were all stopped. said that Miss San's illness was too strange, and if it was transmitted to others, it would be bad. Lu Wu said worriedly: "The second lady is also afraid, and the third lady was removed overnight yesterday." ”

On such a cold day, Gu Chongzhi was sick again, how could he move out casually?

Gu Chongyang frowned when he heard this: "Where did you move to?" ”

Lu Wu sighed and said: "The second lady said that there are many people in the family, and there are many miscellaneous things, and the noisy third miss can't recuperate with peace of mind, so she moved the third lady to the Wutong Garden in the back garden. ”

Wutong Garden is on the other side of the Wutong Forest in the back garden, since the old Qingyang Hou died, no one has gone there for a long time, and it is not a good place, how can it live there?

The second lady's heart is too dark.

"Did the doctor say what the third sister's symptoms were?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that it was a strange disease, and he couldn't cure it. Now the doctor is reluctant to come to the door. ”

It is clear that Gu Chongzhi is treated as a dying person.

The third sister, Gu Chongzhi, is the same, she has no mother.

A motherless child is a grass, and when it is left to fend for itself, it may be trampled under the feet at any time.

Gu Chongyang thought of himself, and suddenly felt sympathy: "Luwu, you decorate some pastries and bring them, and go with me to see the third sister." ”

Lu Wu glanced at Gu Chongyang in embarrassment, and finally answered "yes".

Passing through the back garden, there is the plane forest. It was already winter, and the bare plane trees, □□ their white bark, fought tenaciously in the cold wind.

The afternoon sun shines brightly on the snow.

But it was still cold when the wind blew on the face.

Gu Chongyang tightened the cloak on his body, retracted his hand back into his hand, and said: "I know you want to persuade me not to come, but Luwu, you see that there is no popularity at all in this sycamore forest, the third sister has no biological mother, and she is sick like this, and the second aunt is good if she doesn't grind her, how can she ask for a doctor." If I don't come, who else will come to visit her. ”

She did not say the rest of the words, but silently recited them in her heart.

It is said that the third sister has a strange disease that cannot be cured, and even the doctor is helpless, she must come to see what is going on.

She is a doctor, and she will treat the tenants in the grange when they are sick, not to mention that the person who is sick now is still the third sister who is related to her?

She always felt that this third sister, who had no mother and begged for a living under her mother-in-law, was very similar to herself in her previous life. The same loneliness, the same pitiful.

If she can't help it, forget it, since she has medical skills, she can't stand by no matter what.

"Miss, I know you're kind. But the third lady has a strange disease, if she is too sick, how can she be born? Lu Wu still did not give up, and continued to persuade: "If the lady is still alive, I am reluctant to risk your life." ”

"If my mother were alive, she would never die without help." Gu Chongyang interrupted Lu Wu's words: "If you are sick, then you can wait here, I will go by myself." ”

As she spoke, she reached for the pastry she was carrying.

Lu Wu let out a long sigh: "Since you are not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of." I'll go with you. ”

Wutong Garden is the most remote place of the Gu family, there is no willingness to live, it is in disrepair, very dilapidated, and a small piece of the courtyard wall has fallen.

Gu Chongyang walked into Wutong Garden with Lu Wu, and heard a helpless cry from inside: "...... Sister Sydney, how are you, does the wound still hurt? You were beaten, and Miss was getting sicker and sicker, but what should I do? ”

Sydney comforted in a low voice: "Don't cry, Hongling, Miss Careful felt uncomfortable when she heard it." ”

Gu Chongyang sighed, walked in and asked, "Why is it only the two of you, and the others?" ”

"Fourth Miss is here." Sydney was beaten by the board and was lying on the bed, when she saw Gu Chongyang coming, she hurriedly stood up to salute, but was stopped by Gu Chongyang.

Hongling said with a sad face: "When those people saw our young lady like this, they refused to come for fear of being sick by our young lady." Miss Vain was so good to them before, but at the critical moment, they fell into the trap and left Miss alone. ”

"Fourth Miss, I really didn't expect that the only person who came to visit our Miss was you." Hongling didn't know what she remembered, and said with red eyes: "Come in quickly, our young lady is very sick, and it will be a few days later, maybe...... Maybe ......"

Gu Chongyang sighed in his heart, could it be that the third sister was already so sick?

She quickly lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room.

There were no ornaments in the room except for the bed and table, although it was bare, but it was clean, and there was charcoal in the carbon basin, so it was not particularly cold in the house.

Gu Chongzhi was lying on the bed, unable to see clearly.

Hongling walked to the side of the bed and called softly: "Miss, Miss Fourth looks at you here." ”

"Really?" Gu Chongzhi's voice was very tired, but she could hear it, and she was very surprised: "Help me sit up." ”

Gu Chongyang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third sister, you are sick and weak now, don't get up, let's lie down." ”

Walking in, Gu Chongyang found that Gu Chongzhi actually had a thin veil around her face, which surprised her very much: "Third sister, what are you doing with something around your face?" ”

"Fourth sister, I really didn't expect you to come to see me." Gu Chongzhi said and shed tears: "I thought that except for Sydney and Hongling, no one in this world would think of me anymore." ”

Gu Chongzhi's voice was weak, and his words were very pitiful, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.

When people are sick, they are always extremely vulnerable, especially a lonely person like the third sister, and a little care can move her very much.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly said: "Third sister, where are you talking." In addition to me, the eldest sister also wants to visit you, but the eldest aunt won't let her come, so she can't help it. ”

When Gu Chongzhi heard this, not only did he not feel comforted, but his tears flowed even more fiercely: "I know what my status is in this family." We sisters don't meet much on weekdays, and before I die, I am already satisfied that you can come and see me off. You see me now, go away. lest I have passed away my sickness on you. ”

She's so sick that she's still thinking about others.

Although the third sister is low-key and silent, she is a delicate and gentle person.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chongyang remembered that she was always helpless when she drank □□ in Liangxiang Grange, not only did she not leave, but sat on the side of Gu Chongzhi's bed.

"Third sister, why bother saying these frustrating words, you are just suffering from a minor illness, and you will reach the field of death. Don't be cranky, take care of your illness. In the past, our sisters had little contact, and when you get better, we will play together, and I will learn to do embroidery with you. ”

Gu Chongyang said, put his hand into the quilt and shook Gu Chongzhi's hand.

The slender hands are like dry wood, without a speck of flesh. Gu Chongyang's hand reached in, and he could hold all her hands with one hand.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be surprised: "Third sister, why did you lose weight like this?" ”

Gu Chongzhi was not sad, she smiled weakly: "Fourth sister, don't worry, I've always been like this." ”

Gu Chongyang didn't speak, he took the opportunity to give her a pulse, and found that she was counting the pulses, although she was sick, it was not a sign of death, and her heart was slightly relaxed.

"Third sister, why did you cover your face?"

"You know what I used to be like."

Gu Chongzhi said, suddenly lying on the side of the bed and vomiting, Gu Chongyang quickly took the sputum box to catch it, because Gu Chongzhi didn't eat much, so almost all he spit out was water.

Gu Chongyang didn't dislike her for being dirty, but wiped the corners of her mouth very considerately.

Gu Chongzhi's tears welled up again, she shook Gu Chongyang's hand back, and asked her in a choked voice: "Fourth sister, why are you so good to me?" ”

She probably had never enjoyed warmth, so she couldn't believe the little care she had given her.

Gu Chongyang sighed in his heart and said softly: "Because we are sisters, but also a family. ”

"Really?" Gu Chongzhi's tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and he muttered, "I also have sisters, do I have a family?" ”

"Yes." Gu Chongyang nodded and said, "I am." ”

Gu Chongyang wanted to say that there were Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhu, and the second master, but she didn't say it, because she herself felt that those people probably wouldn't treat Gu Chongzhi as a family.

Gu Chongzhi smiled miserably: "In the past, I always felt that there was no good person in the Gu family, but I didn't expect the fourth sister to be so sincere, I was wrong in the past and missed you, a good sister." ”

"Third sister, don't talk about this." Gu Chongyang said: "I gave you a pulse, you are not a serious illness." Will you take the veil off? I'll look at your face and tongue and help you diagnose and treat it. ”

Gu Chongzhi shook his head: "My disease, the doctors said that it could not be cured." Fourth sister, don't comfort me, my own body knows by myself. ”

"Third sister!" Gu Chongyang said: "You don't believe me, do you?" ”

Her eyes were shining, staring at Gu Chongzhi without any dislike, full of concern.

Gu Chongzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Chongyang shook her hand and said, "You still remember that Mrs. Lu had a stroke last year, I cured it." If you believe me this time, I say you're okay, and you'll be fine. ”

Without waiting for Gu Chongzhi to answer, she reached out to remove the veil from her face.

Gu Chongzhi didn't stop him, but he was already prepared in his heart. The fourth sister will definitely be surprised, she will be afraid, she will definitely stay away from herself, and she will definitely feel that she is a monster!

She closed her eyes gloomily, not wanting to look at Gu Chongyang's scared appearance.

Unexpectedly, the imaginary screaming and escape did not appear, and Gu Chongyang's hand kept holding her hand and did not let go.

She opened her eyes blankly, and met Gu Chongyang's serious eyes: "Sure enough, it's jaundice." ”

"Third sister, you stick your tongue out, I'll take a look."

Although Gu Chongzhi didn't know what Gu Chongyang meant, he also understood that Gu Chongyang would not dislike her or harm her. She stuck out her tongue as she said, Gu Chongyang looked at it, and then nodded almost invisibly.

Gu Chongzhi covered her face just now, and her bangs covered her forehead again, so Gu Chongyang didn't really judge her condition at the first time.

But when Gu Chongyang gave Gu Chongzhi a pulse, she had a bottom in her heart. At that time, she guessed that Gu Chongzhi might have jaundice.

Because judging from the pulse, Gu Chongzhi's illness is on the kidneys. Kidney deficiency can lead to many diseases, and biliary block is one of them. Biliary block can cause jaundice, which is also manifested as nausea and vomiting, and yellowing of the whole body.

This kind of disease is relatively rare, and people who don't know it will think that it is a serious or strange disease. Ordinary doctors are so frightened that they are helpless just by looking at this face, let alone go to serious dialectical diagnosis and treatment.

Now, when the veil was removed, Gu Chongzhi's face was really scorched, and Gu Chongyang was not only not afraid, but relieved.

She was not mistaken, it was indeed jaundice.

This disease can't be cured by others, but for her, it's not a major symptom, she can treat it.

But she didn't directly say that she could cure it, but asked rhetorically: "Third sister, do you often feel nauseous and vomiting?" ”

"Yes, you also saw it just now, I can't do anything about vomiting when I say vomit."

Xu is Gu Chongyang did not dislike her current strange appearance, Gu Chongzhi also faded his guard, and spoke a lot more casually than just now.

Gu Chongyang originally thought that she was really a major symptom, but now that she was sure that it was jaundice, she said: "Third sister, you are always lying down, your head will be dizzy, people will become more and more weak, and good people will lie down." Why don't I help you sit up, and the two of us have a good conversation? ”

Gu Chongzhi has been lying on the bed, except for the two maids, there is no one else to talk to her, and she is indeed very lonely. After listening to Gu Chongyang's Jianyì, she thought that she was also dying anyway, and she should be satisfied if someone could talk to her before she died.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm tired of my fourth sister helping me." ”

Gu Chongyang helped her up, and took another pillow and put it behind her back for her to lean on: "What do you think, can you hold it?" ”

"I was a little dizzy when I first got up." Gu Chongzhi said weakly: "When I sit up this time, I feel that my chest is not as stuffy as it was just now." ”

Gu Chongyang nodded, knowing that she had indeed slept for too long.

It's not a serious illness, but she will be mentally exhausted, coupled with the exaggerated remarks of the doctor and others, she thinks that she is a mortal disease, and naturally becomes more and more strict.

No matter how small a disease is, it will become a major illness if it is not carefully treated.

Gu Chongyang asked again: "Not only do you have nausea and vomiting, but you also have a bitter mouth and a dry throat, and you hate greasy, don't you?" ”

Gu Chongzhi was stunned for a moment: "That's true, how did you know about the fourth sister?" ”

Gu Chongyang smiled: "Not only do I know this, but I also know that your two stools are different from usual, you must solve the dark yellow and the gray and white." ”

Without waiting for Gu Chongzhi to react, she smiled and patted Gu Chongzhi's hand: "Third sister, I can cure your disease, don't worry, I will keep you able to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with everyone on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

This year is the fifth day of the lunar month, and there are more than 20 days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Can her illness really be cured? The fourth sister is eighty percent to comfort her, right?

How can her body last until Chinese New Year's Eve?

Gu Chongzhi wanted to ask Gu Chongyang where he was sure, but looking at Gu Chongyang's determined smiling face, all her words swallowed into her stomach: "Fourth sister, then how are you going to treat me?" ”

"Your disease is easy to treat, it is kidney deficiency, as long as saltpeter and alum stone two flavors of medicine can be cured." Gu Chongyang turned around and said to Hongling, who was shocked: "Don't be stunned, bring pen and paper, I'll write down the method of taking it, and you can just feed it to your young lady." ”

Hongling took the paper, Gu Chongzhi lowered his head, and said to Gu Chongzhi while writing: "Third sister, I know that there are only two people around you, Sydney and Hongling, who are injured and can't leave the bed." I asked people to go out and buy medicine and bring it to you. There is also the trauma medicine that Sydney wants to use, I will send it to you with me. ”

Gu Chongyang encouraged: "Don't be discouraged, you will definitely recover." I'll go back and have someone catch the medicine for you, and if you drink the medicine, you'll be fine. Before taking the medicine, you should eat some pastries made of noodles to cushion your stomach, and eating these two medicines on an empty stomach will hurt your stomach. ”

Gu Chongzhi's eyes were complicated, and for a while, his heart seemed to have overturned a five-flavor bottle, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and all kinds of flavors came to his heart together.

A thousand words finally turned into one sentence: "Fourth sister, thank you, you have to remember to come to see me often." ”

She still has a very important matter, and she hasn't thought about whether to sue Gu Chongyang or not.

Looking at her expectant eyes, Gu Chongyang's heart couldn't help but sour.

also has no mother, she is a concubine, she is a concubine, and her status is inferior to her previous life.

In the previous life, he drank □□ and died, but the third sister died of illness within a few months of marriage, which was very pitiful.

Maybe in this life, the third sister won't be so early.

"Of course." Gu Chongyang said: "I still have to give you a follow-up visit, I will come over tomorrow afternoon, you must take the medicine obediently." ”

"Hey, I'll take my medicine."

Gu Chongzhi responded to this, but what she thought in her heart was not to say saltpeter and alum, but Gu Chongyang opened the □□, let her obey, I am afraid she will not refuse.

Unexpectedly, in this world, there is really someone who cares about her.

Gu Chongyang prescribes saltpeter alum stone powder, which specializes in treating female tuberculosis caused by female kidney deficiency, which is facing Gu Chongzhi's disease, so the day after she took the medicine, the nausea and vomiting were reduced a lot, and the meal was much more fragrant than before. As a result, Gu Chongzhi's spirits were greatly boosted, and he felt that his recovery was hopeful. When there is hope in the heart, the body recovers faster and faster.

After taking the medicine for more than ten days, the yellow color on her body faded, except for the two eyeballs that were slightly yellow, there was no abnormality at all. Gu Chongyang prescribed raw yam, coix seed, and poria cocos, and asked her to decoction, and after taking it for five days, the yellow color completely faded, and Gu Chongzhi also recovered her health.

Of course, that's another story.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Chongyang returned to the Begonia Pavilion and saw that Bibo was already waiting for her.

"Fourth Miss, in two days it will be the first anniversary of the fourth lady, the fourth master has already sent someone to tell the monks of Guangji Temple, this time for the fourth lady to do a three-day water and land dojo, let you prepare, tomorrow afternoon to go to Guangji Temple, stay in the temple for the night, and start doing things early in the morning on the seventh day of the first month."

"Why not do it at home? Mother's 100-day sacrifice day was done in Guangji Temple, and now mother's first anniversary small auspicious ceremony, how can it still be so perfunctory? ”

Gu Chongyang was very upset for the fourth lady in his heart, and looked at Bibo's eyes like a sharp sword: "The fourth master is doing this, how can he be worthy of my mother?" ”

Bibo didn't dare to look at Gu Chongyang, lowered his head and said softly: "The Dharma has to be done for three days, and the next day is Laba, and the fourth master said that this is unlucky." The fourth lady is not dying, and there are still elders in the family, so it is really not appropriate to do a big deal, otherwise it will cost the elders' lives. Miss, the villain knows that you are filial, and he feels sorry for the fourth lady. But now that the fourth lady is gone, you should also think more about the fourth master. ”

A hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of Gu Chongyang's mouth: "When my mother was alive, she was too planning for the fourth master, so she suffered too many grievances, and now she has to be wronged even when she dies for the anniversary sacrifice." You asked me to plan for the fourth master, so who plans for my mother? How did the fourth master ever plan for me and my mother? ”

Since the father and daughter confronted each other that day, she no longer calls him father, and she keeps saying that she is the fourth master.

"Besides, the fourth master is very good at planning for himself, which can be seen from the fact that he is quietly going to marry a new lady. When the new lady enters the door, there is naturally a new lady to plan for him, where will there be my business? ”

Gu Chongyang sneered: "Bibo, what you said is ridiculous! ”

Yixi's words were like needles in his back, and he didn't dare to answer, so he could only promise to be.

Looking at him like that, Gu Chongyang felt very upset, it has never been her style to embarrass people: "You go down, I already know about telling the fourth master to go to Guangji Temple." ”

On the evening of the sixth day of the lunar month, Gu Chongyang went to Guangji Temple and began to practice early the next morning.

Listening to the monk reciting the "Sutra of Death", Gu Chongyang silently recited in his heart: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you have left me for a whole year." Mother, what grievances did you suffer, and why did you embark on the path of suicide? Is it your father who killed you? I will definitely find out the truth of the matter and will never let you die in vain. If you can see it, the spirit of heaven must bless me with all the best and find out the murderer as soon as possible. ”
