Chapter 48: Guard

"Why do you suddenly vomit and diarrhea? Did you eat something bad or did you freeze your stomach? The eldest lady was very worried: "How can I ask an ordinary doctor, or I will send someone to ask for a doctor." ”

As she spoke, she called the maid in a loud voice: "You take the name of the Hou Ye and ask the housekeeper to arrange for someone to follow Mama Wu to invite a familiar imperial doctor." ”

When Mama Wu saw the eldest lady's expression, she was very grateful, and felt that only the eldest lady in the entire Hou Mansion was a good person, and she really deserved to be the daughter of the family.

The imperial doctor soon came and inquired about some of the situation, only saying that Gu Chongyang had a cold, and he prescribed a warm prescription and went back.

The fourth lady was very worried, so she quickly asked people to decoct the medicine and feed it to Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang said that it was too hot, and he would drink it later.

When the fourth lady didn't pay attention, she quietly poured the medicinal soup into the pastel jade hall rich high-necked bottle placed on the bedside table.

Gu Chongyang lay on the bed weakly, his face pale: "Mother, I'm so uncomfortable, will I delay going to the Linjiang Hou Mansion tomorrow." ”

Last time in Botou Town, Gu Chongyang was too sick, which scared the fourth lady. Therefore, this time Gu Chongyang was sick, and the fourth lady was even more nervous.

It wasn't until Gu Chongyang took the medicine and stopped the diarrhea that her heart was put down.

At this moment, after hearing Gu Chongyang say this, she said distressedly: "Good girl, my mother knows that you are uncomfortable, I have already told your aunt for you, she said that you should recuperate at home with peace of mind, and you will not go to Changningbo Mansion tomorrow." ”

"How's that going to work?" Gu Chongyang didn't follow when he heard it: "I really want to go out to play." ”

The fourth lady touched Gu Chongyang's head and comforted her softly: "Right now, you are sick and can't go anywhere." When you get better, your mother will take you out to play. ”

"Then I want Guangji Temple." Gu Chongyang said coquettishly: "Before in Botou Town, you promised to take me there. ”

Seeing that she was not clamoring to go to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, the fourth lady smiled and said: "Okay, it's all up to you, you can go wherever you say, but you have to wait until you are well." ”

"Mother, I'll get some sleep tonight, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

The fourth lady looked at Gu Chongyang, her eyes full of love: "Good! ”

As she said this, a smile appeared on her face, and Gu Chongyang saw that the fourth lady was a little tired. After she vomited and diarrhea, her mother had been busy, and now, it was time for her mother to rest for a while.

Gu Chongyang said: "Mother, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while, can you help me put down the curtain?" The room was so bright that my eyes hurt. ”

Where is the fourth lady who does not follow, she tuck the quilt for Gu Chongyang, put down the curtain herself, and instruct the maid to guard at the door, not to disturb Gu Chongyang, and then walked out.

When the room was quiet, Gu Chongyang turned over and pressed the quilt under his body, and exhaled softly.

She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a reason not to go to Changningbo's Mansion, and in the end, she could only pretend to be sick.

But pretending to be sick must be pretended.

Fortunately, she is a doctor and can pretend to be sick with the help of medicine.

In order to create the illusion of vomiting and diarrhea, she took a small amount of croton.

Croton can vomit and down, can stop and work, and can be raised and lowered.

Three points of her vomiting and diarrhea are the credit of Croton, and seven points are pretended by her. Therefore, her body is indeed a little uncomfortable.

But for the sake of her mother, in order to prolong her mother's life, enduring this hardship is nothing to her.

Tomorrow is the eighth day of the first month of November, and when she thinks of what she has seen and heard in her previous life, her heart involuntarily shrinks.

In this life, it must change, definitely!

The night passed, and early the next morning, the eldest lady Hao took the three sisters Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhu, and Gu Chongzhi to Linjiang Hou's Mansion to celebrate their birthday.

Gu Chongyang is still recuperating in bed.

The fourth lady stayed by her side, and except for greeting Old Madam Ge, she never left Gu Chongyang's house.

Gu Chongyang pestered the fourth lady, and the mother and daughter were talking.

Time passed bit by bit, and every qiē was calm as usual.

But Gu Chongyang didn't dare to slack off, even if the fourth lady went out of the room to greet the fourth master, Gu Chongyang had to let the two maids follow, and told them to never leave.

If it weren't for the fourth lady's repeated request, she would have gotten up and looked at the fourth lady in person.

Soon, night fell, and the eldest lady and others returned. Brought back the eldest lady Gu Chonghua's piano sounded amazing, and the news that the name of the talented girl spread quickly.

Gu Chongyang's health is also much better, and she no longer has to stay in bed.

After dinner, Gu Chongyang said, "Mother, I want to sleep with you tonight." ”

The fourth old man was surprised: "Then where do I sleep?" ”

Gu Chongyang is already ten years old, and he will be able to say goodbye in a few years, but now it is not appropriate to squeeze together with his parents.

But Gu Chongyang was like a coquettish child: "I don't care, I must sleep with my mother tonight." ”

When she spoke, her hand was holding the fourth lady's hand tightly, very nervous, as if this was a big deal.

The fourth lady also felt that Gu Chongyang's feelings were nervous, and her spirit was tense, so she had to rely on Gu Chongyang in everything.

"It's really unreasonable, you sleep with me, so where do you want your father to sleep?" The fourth lady smiled: "Then I will live in the blue yarn cupboard with the girl tonight." ”

This sentence was said to the fourth master.

Gu Chongyang is seriously ill, and the fourth master is also very distressed, his wife lives with his daughter, so it is convenient to take care of his daughter, he said: "It's better for me to live in the Bisha cupboard." ”

When the fourth lady heard this, she smiled slightly, full of satisfaction and happiness.

The daughter is well-behaved, the husband is elegant and considerate, except that she did not give birth to a son, her life is almost perfect. What luxury does she have to hope for to marry such a husband?

"Master, how have you been these days?" She asked about her husband's vacancy.

In order to get an official position as soon as possible, the fourth master has not touched his home almost every day in the past few days, either visiting the teacher's seat, or banqueting classmates and colleagues of the same year, just to be able to get through the customs through the interpersonal relationships in the past.

"It's still like that." As soon as this matter was mentioned, the fourth master frowned: "In front of the child, don't say this." See back in a few days. ”

With this sentence, the fourth lady knew that her husband's affairs must not go well. She didn't continue the conversation, but laughed and talked about something else.

That night, Gu Chongyang slept with the fourth lady, she hugged the fourth lady tightly, not daring to sleep, for fear that her mother would disappear in the blink of an eye.

She was an adult psychologically, but after all, this body was only a ten-year-old child, and although she tried her best not to let herself fall asleep, when she was ugly, she couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

In the dream, she returned to the year when she was ten years old in her previous life, on the eighth day of the first month of November. When she returned home from the Linjiang Hou Mansion, she saw her mother's mourning hall as soon as she entered the door.

I don't know how long I slept, Gu Chongyang suddenly woke up, but found that his surroundings were empty, and his mother had long since disappeared.

Recalling what he saw and heard in his dream, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Where did the mother go?

She quickly lifted the curtain, put on her shoes, and walked out of the inner room.

The greenery on duty at night slept soundly on the floor, and only one illuminated candle remained on the candlestick. Outside the window, the wind rustled the branches. The moon is only half there, shining on the wall, casting shadows, so gloomy.

Gu Chongyang's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mother! Mother, where are you? ”

In the silence of the night, her voice was particularly loud, and Lu Wu woke up all at once. Seeing Gu Chongyang walking out wearing only a middle coat, she was startled.

"Miss, why are you up?" Lu Wu hurriedly got up and walked to Gu Chongyang's side: "Are you going to drink tea?" Why don't you wear a single piece of clothing, what if it's frozen? ”

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Chongyang to the inner room.

Gu Chongyang was unmoved, only took her hand and asked, "Where is my mother?" Do you see my mother? ”

Lu Wu was surprised: "Fourth Miss, isn't the Fourth Lady there?" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed behind Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly turned around, and saw where his stepmother Ge Bilian was standing, wearing bright red clothes, and beckoned to her with a smile: "Fourth Miss come here!" ”

Gu Chongyang's face couldn't help but change greatly, and she grabbed Luwu's arm all of a sudden: "Luwu, where is my mother?" What about my mother? I want my own mother! Why is Ge Bilian standing there? ”

She hated her stepmother very much, and often called her Ge Bilian by name and surname in private. But in front of others, she still has to call Ge Bilian "mother".

But how could Ge Bilian come? Since she came, where did the mother go?

She clutched her green arm so hard that her whole body trembled.

Lu Wu said, "Fourth Miss, have you forgotten?" Mrs. Shen passed away last year, and now the fourth lady is the new mother, and she is your mother. ”

"No!" Gu Chongyang's voice was high-pitched and sharp: "I don't want a new housewife, I don't want Ge Bilian, I don't want anyone, I just want my mother!" ”

"I just want my mother ......"

Gu Chongyang shouted and cried, his voice frightened, helpless and sad.

"Nannan, Nannan......" The fourth lady heard Gu Chongyang shouting, and hurriedly sat up, patting her chest while anxiously calling her name: "Nannan, wake up, wake up." ”

It's the mother! It's the mother's voice.

Gu Chongyang was like finding light in the dark night, her heart immediately stabilized, she suddenly opened her eyes, only to see her mother looking at her with a worried face: "Nannan, are you okay?" ”

The kang was burned in the inner room, and it was very warm.

There was a faint light in the windows covered with Korean paper, and the sound of a rooster crowing came from a distance, melodious and high-pitched.

Surrounded by a familiar environment, my mother's face is still so beautiful, and the eyes that look at me are as loving and spoiled as ever.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

Gu Chongyang couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into his mother's arms and cried loudly.
