Chapter 7: Mother
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Chongyang choked and raised her head, tears clouding her eyes again.
The mother has fair skin, apricot eyes and a nose, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, although she is sick, she can hardly hide her beauty, and she is a great beauty.
She herself inherited her mother's beauty, so when her stepmother looked at her, her eyes were always very vicious.
However, now that she has been reborn, her mother will not die, and her stepmother will not enter the door.
Gu Chongyang thought about this, his arms tightly wrapped around his mother's waist, and his head was buried in his mother's arms, which was an unprecedented attachment, and the tears that flowed out were also tears of happiness.
When her mother saw Gu Chongyang crying so sadly, her face showed a solemn look: "Where is Mama Wu?" What about Angelica and Lvwu? The fourth lady is seriously ill and has not recovered, why did she let her run out by herself? ”
As soon as her mother's words fell, Lu Wu was already standing at the door with a stumbling voice: "Madam, Madam Wu has gone to the street to buy sacrifices, and Qingzhi is boiling medicine for Miss in the kitchen." It was the slave who was negligent for a moment and did not take good care of the young lady. Please punish Madame. ”
Lu Wu said, and knelt down.
The mother said with a calm face: "You are the eldest girl next to the young lady, and you know the rules, if I start for you today, this rule will be broken in the future." ”
"Mother's ......" Gu Chongyang didn't expect that as soon as she was reborn, the people around her would be punished, she felt uneasy, and pulled her mother's sleeve with a worried face.
The mother glanced at Gu Chongyang, blocked her words of intercession, and then said sharply to Lu Wu: "This is on the road, punish you, and there is no one around the young lady to take care of you." Remember this punishment first, and when we return to the capital, you can get it yourself. ”
"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Lu Wu crawled up with a frightened face.
Mother waved her hand to let the green go down, and then pulled down her face to Gu Chongyang: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
Mother is the person who loves herself the most in the world, although she has a straight face at the moment, Gu Chongyang is not afraid at all, she smiled and took her mother's hand: "Mother, I know it's wrong." ”
Unexpectedly, his mother raised her hand, and Gu Chongyang's hand fluttered into the air.
Gu Chongyang raised his head in surprise, only to see that his mother's face became more and more ugly, and his voice was much harsher than just now: "Then you say, what is wrong with you?" ”
She didn't expect her mother to be really angry with herself.
Under the gaze of his mother's sharp eyes, Gu Chongyang sat up straight uneasily: "My daughter doesn't know. ”
"You!" The mother sighed helplessly, and said solemnly: "Everyone is beautiful, the servant woman does not leave you, how can you run out by yourself and make Luwu worry and fear?" This is your first mistake. ”
"Second, even if it's your fault, Luwu, as the big girl who serves by your side, didn't persuade you and serve you well, it's her fault. I dispose of her, do you think it is her who disposes of? Not only her, but also let you know that your words and deeds are not only about yourself, but also about the people around you. If you make a mistake because you run around, then it's not just a matter of being punished. There is also Qingzhi, although she doesn't know about it, she will be punished. ”
"Third, I deal with the green turnip, and you actually want to open your mouth to intercede for her. You are a young lady and a master, if I disagree and refute your face, how will you suppress the people below in the future? If I agree, how do I know that the people below will not come to you to intercede if they make mistakes in the future? ”
The mother continued to ask her: "When they come to you to intercede in the future, do you agree or not?" If you agree in the future, will the rules be broken? If you don't agree, who knows they won't blame you for favoritism and unfairness? ”
As soon as he said that, Gu Chongyang's forehead was full of sweat.
When the mother saw it, her voice softened a little: "Do you understand? ”
Gu Chongyang put away his indifferent thoughts, and showed a solemn look on his face. Except for my mother, no one will teach me so earnestly.
In his previous life, under the "care" of his stepmother, he got the reputation of being disobedient and unruly. Those young prodigals even gave themselves the nickname "straw bale beauty". When I first married to Yan'en Houhefu, I was not liked by my mother-in-law because of the bad rules, and I suffered a lot.
In this life, will she repeat the same mistakes? Do we have to repeat the tragedies of the past?
No! She will never be looked down upon again, never put up with those ridicules again, and never be a "straw bag beauty" again.
Gu Chongyang pursed his lips, made up his mind, raised his head and said to his mother: "Mother, this matter is wrong for me, you teach me in the future, I promise to change everything, I promise not to make you angry again." ”
Seeing that Gu Chongyang sincerely admitted his mistakes, he didn't forget what he said before, and he never cared, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "My son, it's not that your mother treats you harshly, it's just that you are ten years old now, you are a big girl, and you can say goodbye in two years." If you keep acting recklessly like this, it's not good. Besides, you still have a few cousins, and your mother has burdened you, and you are not as good as them, so you have to hurry up in other places. ”
"Good!" Gu Chongyang smiled and took his mother's arm, leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, and coquettishly said: "I will listen to my mother in the future." ”
The mother was amused by her and smiled happily, and gently touched her forehead: "Nan Nan is so good!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the mother suddenly turned pale and lay on the edge of the bed in pain, gasping for breath.
"Mother!" Gu Chongyang's face changed greatly, and he looked at Lu Wu and Du Ruo in horror, one patting his mother on the back, and the other taking a sputum box.
Only then did Gu Chongyang realize that his mother was actually coughing just now, but she didn't make a sound at all, coughing silently.
Inside the sputum box was yellow and white phlegm, like pus from a festering wound.
Gu Chongyang's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he looked at his mother worriedly, was his mother so sick?
Was my mother's violent death in her previous life the root cause of this cough?
In the previous life, when she was ten years old, her father, who was sent to Guichi County, Chizhou to serve as a county magistrate, returned to Beijing after three years of service to wait for a vacancy.
Before he set off, he got the news that the old lady of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, that is, the father's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ge, was going to hold a sixtieth celebration.
So, my father and mother hurriedly packed up our things and prepared to return to Beijing.
The old lady's birthday was on October 20, and in order to be able to reach the capital at the end of September, she didn't stop much along the way.
Because he was in a hurry, he slept in the open all the way, and he was slightly seasick, Gu Chongyang had a high fever.
My father meant to rush to the capital to ask a famous doctor to help me recuperate, who knew that she didn't even have a fever for several days, and finally she didn't know what to do and talked nonsense.
At the insistence of their mother, they landed in Botou Town, Cangzhou Port, 400 miles away from the capital.
Returning to Beijing to wait for a vacancy is not a promotion, it is not a business matter, not to mention dragging the family, there is also a patient. Therefore, my father did not go to the post station of the imperial court, but chartered an inn in a quiet place on the street of Botou Town.
Because he burned too badly, the doctors in Botou Town were helpless and did not dare to receive treatment. My father had to take the name card to visit the governor of Cangzhou Prefecture. Cangzhou Zhizhou recommended a famous doctor to treat his illness, and thanks to the doctor's wonderful rejuvenation, he was able to survive.
Before he could recover, his mother fell ill because she was taking care of herself. Later, although he was cured, he fell to the root of the disease. In addition, when they returned to the capital, it was already mid-October, and it was only a few days before the old lady's birthday.
On the one hand, the Hou Mansion had to pack up and settle them, and on the other hand, they had to prepare for the old lady's birthday, so they were busy up and down. The old lady was very upset, which made her mother angry.
My mother was unwilling to lag behind, and she was very dedicated to the old lady's birthday banquet.
Not long after the old lady's birthday banquet was over, her mother died of illness.
In her previous life, she was ignorant and ignorant, and she did not hear the news of her mother's serious illness until her mother died, and she learned the news of her mother's serious illness from her father and subordinates.
Now, she has been reborn and has a body of medical skills, no matter what, she can't let her mother go down the old path of a lifetime.
Her biggest regret is that she does not have the company of her mother's upbringing, although the widowed eldest daughter is not good, but what she cares about most is the time with her mother.
Only a mother will treat her like a jewel, take care of her, and love her.
She is no longer an ignorant child, and in this life, she can no longer be as muddy as before. Now, it's her to protect her mother.
Gu Chongyang's mind gradually calmed down, but the thoughts in her heart became more and more firm, in this life, she wanted her mother to live.
Lu Wu and Du Ruo served their mother and rinsed their mouths, and the mother who lay down again saw that Gu Chongyang was still standing in a daze, looking frightened, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Nan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Chongyang stared at his big black and white eyes, and pleaded with his mother: "Mother, don't die, okay?" ”
Lu Wu and Du Ruo looked at each other when they heard this, but their mother laughed out loud: "Silly girl, my mother is just tired of traveling and occasionally feeling unwell, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Without waiting for Gu Chongyang to answer, her mother gently took her hand and said lovingly: "I haven't seen our girl grow into a big girl and marry a good mother-in-law, how can she die." Don't worry, your mother will accompany you. ”
Hearing his mother's reassurance, Gu Chongyang not only did not calm down, but his face became more and more solemn: "Mother, don't worry, with me, I won't let you die." ”
"This kid!" Her mother gently patted her back, feeling Gu Chongyang's nervousness, and feeling distressed in her heart.
