"Mother, what's so bad about being a doctor?"

Gu Chongyang used the words taught to her by her master to refute her mother: "I have hands and feet, and I have a skill, not only can I support myself, but also save lives and help others......"

"If I say no, I can't!" The mother's voice was much harsher than before: "If you dismiss this idea as soon as possible, I will not agree." ”

"Mother's ......"

Gu Chongyang wanted to say more, but his mother coughed again on the edge of the bed.

Gu Chongyang was shocked, patting his mother on the back while shouting to the maids to come in. Several people were busy for a long time before the mother calmed down.

Looking at his mother's flushed face and uncomfortable appearance, Gu Chongyang felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

Although she wants to practice medicine, her mother's body is more important.

As long as my mother is happy, it's okay if she doesn't go to medicine. She is too aggressive today, and she must tell her mother slowly about practicing medicine, and she must not be so anxious anymore.

Mama Wu brought medicine to her mother.

Gu Chongyang looked at it with a blank eye, very anxious.

The mother sighed almost invisibly, and said to Mama Wu: "Take it down, I won't drink this medicine." ”

Mama Wu was very shocked: "Madam, how can you do it without taking medicine?" ”

"Alright, let's take it." Her mother stopped Mama Wu's persuasion.

Mama Wu glanced at Gu Chongyang thoughtfully, very puzzled.

Gu Chongyang was satisfied, and said with a smile: "Mother, do you believe my words?" ”

Mother scratched Gu Chongyang's nose and said dotingly: "My nannan is my mother's heart and liver, I don't believe in anyone and won't believe you." ”

"Mother, you treat me so well!"

At night, Gu Chongyang lay on the bed, his mind was full of what he had seen and heard during the day, and his mother's love was undoubted, exactly the same as in his memory. But in the face of her father, she still can't deal with it naturally. The events of the previous life left too many shadows.

My mother didn't take my medicine, but tomorrow I took my own medicine, and my mother's illness will be cured.

Thinking that her mother would not die, Gu Chongyang's mood was unprecedentedly bright, and she slept very sweetly this night.

Early the next morning, she ran to find her mother and met her father at the door.

She restrained her expression, gave her father a hasty salute, and went in to find her mother.

After breakfast, my father said, "Chongyang, it's been boring these days, and we're going to leave again in a few days." When the road is very boring, let Mama Wu take you to the street to have fun today, okay? ”

What's there to do on the streets!

Gu Chongyang shook his head without thinking about it: "It's not good, I want to stay here with my mother." ”

"Good boy, mother doesn't want you to accompany me." Mother said softly, "Go play, haven't you always wanted to go out and play?" ”

"I'm not going." Gu Chongyang insisted: "When we return to the capital, mother, you will take me to play in Guangji Temple." ”

The mother smiled dumbly: "I was thinking about this." Guangji Temple has the characteristics of Guangji Temple, and Botou Town also has its own unique scenery. You want to go to Guangji Temple to play, and when we go back to the capital, you have a chance. But this Botou Town, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come in the future. Mother is accompanied by her father, don't feel lonely, you go to play with Mama Wu, okay? ”

Mother is right, after she returned to the capital in her last life, she never left Beizhili. But despite this, she still doesn't want to go out, she wants to accompany her mother.

But her mother didn't seem to want to be with her.

Gu Chongyang looked at his father with an expectant face, and then at his mother, who persuaded him softly, and suddenly his cheeks were hot.

Father and mother must have thought they were an eyesore, so it was better to spend themselves than in a two-person world.

She has also been married, so she naturally understands it deeply. But in the face of his father and mother, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But instead of insisting on staying, she said loudly, "Good! I hang out with Mama Wu. ”

Father and mother looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chongyang felt more and more that he had guessed correctly.

But there's nothing wrong with going out shopping, at least she can buy some medicinal herbs and come back, which can not only treat her mother's illness, but also prepare for emergencies.

The group cleaned up a little and went out.

The streets of Botou Town are similar to those in other places, and there is nothing to visit at all.

Besides, they didn't go down for a walk, they could only sit in the carriage and look out through the curtain, so they couldn't see anything interesting at all.

Except for the beginning when I went to a pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs, there was nothing new in the back.

Gu Chongyang felt that he was lacking in interest, so he asked people to go home.

Mama Wu hurriedly persuaded softly: "Miss, we still have a lot of places to visit, why do we go back so quickly." Let's play a little longer, it's hard to get out of it. ”

"What's the fun about that?" Gu Chongyang tilted his head and asked Mama Wu: "This street is so deserted, and there is no good scenery, I don't want to see it, let's go back." ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Mama Wu's forehead, and her task was to take the young lady out of the house, and she couldn't go back until noon.

But now it's only been half an hour since she came out, and the young lady is going back, what should she do?

The place was too lively for fear of being bumped into by too many people, and she was not familiar with the place, so she didn't dare to take the young lady there. But this little ancestor is clamoring to go back, but how can he do it?

There were a few seven or eight-year-old girls playing with stones on the road outside the window, and Mama Wu's eyes lit up, and she had a plan in her heart: "Miss, we will go back to the capital in a few days, are you ready for the old lady's birthday gift?" ”

"Isn't Mother ready?" Gu Chongyang had no feelings for Old Madam Ge and was not interested in this topic.

"My miss, Mrs. prepares Mrs., the old lady is your grandmother, I haven't seen you for a few years, you should also show filial piety."

In the last life, when Mrs. Ge celebrated her birthday, she did not give anything, but the three cousins presented carefully prepared birthday gifts. In comparison, her empty hands are particularly abrupt. At that time, the second aunt seemed to have said a few unpleasant words, which made the mother very sad.

Mama Wu's words reminded Gu Chongyang that she is now ten years old and a person who has lived a new life. Not only can she not rely on her mother everywhere like a child, but she must cheer up, help her mother pick up the gaps, and think carefully about the places that her mother can't think of, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

She not only wants her mother to be healthy, but also to let her mother live a comfortable and happy life.

"Mama, you're right, I have to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady." Gu Chongyang said: "These streets are too lonely, you ask the coachman to go to the lively streets around here, and ask him to recommend us a few shops that sell comb grates, gold and silver jewelry, and rouge gouache, I want to buy some things." ”

Seeing that Gu Chongyang was no longer clamoring to go back, Mama Wu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go buy a birthday gift for the old lady." ”

Although Botou Town is only a small town in Cangzhou, it is exceptionally prosperous because it is a port. Traders from the north and south will stop here and buy goods, so the streets in the center of the town are really lively and the goods sold are exceptionally complete.

Gu Chongyang and his entourage went to the grate shop first.

The boss saw that Gu Chongyang was a young girl, although she was carrying a servant, her clothes were not luxurious, so she was not very concerned, so she only took a cheap grate like Gu Chongyang's introduction.

The boss talked for a long time, Gu Chongyang was indifferent, she pointed to a set of combs on the shelves behind the boss and said, "Take that one down and show me." ”

The boss turned around and saw that Gu Chongyang was looking at a complete set of peach wood comb grates packed in a big red openwork lacquer box, and wondered if she had the money to buy it, and introduced: "Miss is really good eyesight, this is the freshest pattern just delivered from Yangzhou, not that I brag, I am the only one who sells it in the entire Beizhili." ”

The material of a set of combs is not special, but it is a fine peachwood, but it is better than its exquisite workmanship and fancy novelty. A set of comb grates is a total of four, on which the birth is carved with the pattern of Xi Shi Huansha, Zhaojun out of the village, Diao Chan worshipping the moon, and the concubine appreciating the flowers, the color is bright, the characters are cute, and they are very exquisite.

The boss said that he is the only one in the north of this comb, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not nonsense. In the previous life, this kind of comb had indeed not reached the capital at this time, but it was very popular later, and it was still very popular until Gu Chongyang passed away.

Suddenly, a young man's displeased voice came from outside: "...... Cangzhou is also a state capital, and there is not even a decent grate, isn't there a lot of merchants selling goods in this Botou Town? How could there be no comb grate that my sister wanted? Senior sister's birthday, how can I go empty-handed, Master and his old man are really good, and he didn't tell me in advance! I can't do anything about it now......"

A neutral voice persuaded: "Uncle, isn't there a grate shop here, let's go in and have a look, maybe there is." ”

"Humph!" The young man said disdainfully: "This small shop only has half a façade, and the curtain hanging at the door is dirty, so what good things can there be." Let's go look elsewhere! ”

Their voices were loud, and they didn't mean to shy away from it, and they reached the house word for word.

The boss's face turned into a pig's liver color in an instant, where did the ignorant junior come from, he actually dared to make a big statement in front of their house, it was really too deceitful!

Where did this boy come from, and he really didn't speak tactfully. Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings, he just stands at the door and criticizes other people's stores, and he can't look down on his words, no wonder the boss is angry.

If someone else says this about themselves, I'm afraid I will be unhappy.

Gu Chongyang saw that the boss couldn't hold it on his face, and he was amused, but his face didn't show any expression at all, but diverted the topic and said: "Boss, this street is the most prosperous street in Botou Town, right?" ”
