In April in Yanling, the flowers are gradual.

Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother Gu Xuanzhi sat on the kang and ate peaches. She listened to her parents talk about her aunt's illness, gradually lost interest, and looked out the window.

She saw her eldest aunt today, it was not a serious illness, and she could get better if she took the right medicine.

The brocade is ajar, and the cherry blossom tree under the window is full of pink cherry blossoms. The wind rises, the bright fragrance is slow, and the ground is lightly shattered.

The sunset is lazy, reflecting the golden hooks of the hanging brocade curtains, which are shining with golden light. The brocade curtain is soft and silently lying in the curtain, silently.

In the afterglow, my brother's eyes, which were clearer than autumn water, were shining, and he was trying to nibble on peaches, looking like a little pet.

Gu Jinzhi likes his younger brother very much.

“…… The eldest brother said that the sister-in-law misses Sister Jin and Brother Xuan, which must be a pretext. The topic of the mother shifted from her mother's sister-in-law to Gu Yantao's letter, the uncle of the Gu family, "We have been in Yanling for six years, and the eldest brother has never written letters, why do you want us to take the child back to Beijing to see this time?" ”

Father shook his head.

Yesterday, they received a letter from Gu Yantao, the uncle in Beijing, asking their parents to take the old man and children back to Beijing, saying that the family missed the old man and one of Gu Jin's family members very much.

At first, my mother didn't believe it.

Uncle Gu Yantao was not so kind.

"Do you want to go back?" When his mother saw that his father did not speak, she suddenly asked him.

Although Yanling is his father's ancestral hometown, his father grew up in the capital, and he was not suitable for Yanling's diet in the past few years, but he has gradually improved in recent years.

The capital is my father's hometown.

Her mother is from Yanling, and she grew up here. It is the best thing to be able to return to my hometown by serving the old man.

My mother didn't want to go back to Beijing.

"The year after tomorrow is the spring festival, and it is not bad to be able to go back and forth to study, and not to run back and forth during the spring season." My father said after a while.

He is Chinese New Year's Eve years old. When he was twenty-two years old, he passed the exam. It's just that in the next few years, his studies have not progressed, and he has not been able to go to school.

In the spring of the following year, my father will definitely participate.

"You don't want to go back?" After the father finished speaking, he found that the mother was silent and did not answer.

The mother knew her father's thoughts, and the uncle's letter made my father's desire to move back to the capital go crazy. The question she had just asked was just to test him. After confirming it, the mother hesitated.

She certainly didn't want to go back.

"Nope." The mother lied, "We came to Yanling to serve the old man." If the old man doesn't leave, we won't be able to leave. I listened to the old man's meaning, probably because he was used to living in Jiangnan and didn't want to go back to Beijing......"

The father showed a little helplessness.

"Mother, where are we going?" Gu Xuanzhi asked suddenly.

When he was one year old, he followed his parents to the south, and then he has been in Yanling, and he doesn't remember the capital at all.

The mother looked back at Gu Xuanzhi, with a doting face, took him into her arms, carefully wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and wiped off the peach juice that he had gnawed.

"The capital." Mother smiled and coaxed Gu Xuanzhi, "Brother Xuan'er, do you want to go to the capital?" ”

My father looked at it with a smile.

Gu Xuanzhi was a little overwhelmed, he looked at his parents blankly, and asked Gu Jinzhi instead: "Seventh sister, do you want to go back?" ”

He threw the question his mother gave him to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi is the eldest daughter in the third room, but she has two uncles and six cousins. In terms of prologue, she is ranked seventh, so the family calls her Seventh Girl, and her two younger brothers call her Seventh Sister.

"I don't want to." Gu Jinzhi said.

She also spent six years in the capital. The six years from birth to toddler are not boring, but there are certainly no interesting memories.

Back in the capital, the family lived together, not to mention the crowding, people came and went and things were complicated, Gu Jinzhi didn't like it. Like now, the family of grandfathers, parents and younger brothers is better, more like the family structure of later generations.

Gu Jinzhi likes this.

When her parents heard her answer, they all laughed. Like ordinary parents, Gu Yanzhen and Song are very spoiled by their children. Children will be happy to hear interesting answers.

The father even asked Gu Jinzhi funny: "Why don't you want to?" The capital is much more fun than Yanling. ”

The prosperity of the capital is incomparable to Yanling.

"That's you." Gu Jin said, "I can't go out, and I can't play fun!" ”

The father was stunned.

Mother laughed.

Gu Xuanzhi also giggled.

My father couldn't help but laugh too.

The house is full of joy and warmth.

Just as she was talking and laughing, the maid from outside came in and said: Aunt Hong brought her nine-year-old cousin Gu Xiuzhi to ask for peace.

The silver and red felt curtain was raised, and Aunt Hong, who was wearing lotus lotus-colored makeup and gowns, led Gu Xiuzhi in and saluted her father and mother respectively.

Mother is still holding Brother Xuan, but the warm smile on her face has lost most of it.

She didn't like Aunt Hong very much.

Aunt Hong's original name was Hong Lian, and she used to be her mother's dowry maid, and her mother trusted her the most. Later, all the maids around her were released, and Hong Lian was left alone, ready to find a good family for her.

But Hong Lian climbed into her father's bed.

learned that Hong Lian was pregnant, and Gu Jinzhi was two years old that year. She saw her mother crying and making trouble, and did not allow her father to get close to her and Jinzhi, and drove her father to sleep in the study in the outer courtyard, forcing her father to sell Hong Lian.

My father agreed, and even went to call someone himself.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt saw that the two of them were messing around, so they joined forces to persuade them.

The mother did not let go.

It was a terrible time.

Hong Lian was sent to Zhuangzi.

At that time, the eldest aunt thought that if Hong Lian gave birth to a daughter, she would take the child over and send Hong Lian away. But Hong Lian's life was good, and she gave birth to a son.

The eldest aunt ignored her mother's crying and took Hong Lian's mother and son back.

My mother also got a bad reputation for being pungent and jealous, and it became a joke that year.

But since then, my father didn't dare to look at Hong Lian's mother and son, and the lives of Hong Lian's mother and son were in the hands of my mother.

Later, one of Gu Jin's families left the capital.

Where is the mother defeated?

She won!

Living a life, like a fish drinking water, knows that it is warm and cold, and her mother has always refused to compromise and seek perfection.

Today's Aunt Hong is docile and well-behaved, and she is respectful in front of her mother. If not, why not?

"Begonia, go get some peaches for the Eighth Young Master to eat." The mother lightly instructed the maids around her.

Gu Xiuzhi ranked eighth.

The peaches were served, and Gu Xuanzhi also wanted to eat them.

Gu Xiuzhi lives with Aunt Hong, except for three meals a day, there is nothing on the side. What is fresh and coincidental, my mother never gives it to them.

The mother was very doting and gentle to Gu Jinzhi's sisters and brothers, but she was harsh on Aunt Hong's mother and son. Gu Jinzhi thought that her mother, Song Paner, was definitely not a good person!

Seeing the peaches, Gu Xiuzhi was also greedy.

Gu Jinzhi took the crystal plate brought in by Haitang and didn't give it to the two younger brothers.

Gu Xuanzhi pouted.

Gu Xiuzhi hid behind Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong's eyes flashed with pain.

“…… Peaches swell the stomach, and eating them will hurt the food. Gu Jinzhi said to Brother Xuan first, "You have already eaten one, you can't eat it again." ”

Then, she said to Gu Xiuzhi, "Brother Xiu'er, you still vomited yesterday, did you take the medicine I prescribed to you?" You vomit because your stomach is out of harmony, and your qi is reversed. Eating peaches is even worse. You take two more doses of medicine, and when you're done, I'll have someone bring you peaches." ”

Gu Yanzhen glanced at her daughter.

He also knew that Gu Xiuzhi vomited the day before yesterday, and Jinzhi prescribed medicine, and he was fine after taking the medicine.

He also thought that Jinzhi was touching it randomly.

Unexpectedly, she is really clear.

That's right.

Gu Xiuzhi hesitated, and asked with a little timidity: "Really only need to take two more doses of medicine?" ”

Jinzhi nodded.

Gu Xiuzhi showed a smile, pure and without impurities. In the end, it's just a nine-year-old child, and there is still innocence.

"Brother Xiu, don't you thank Miss Seven?" Only then did Aunt Hong know that she had misunderstood Jinzhi, so she hurriedly pushed Gu Xiuzhi and asked him to thank Jinzhi.

Mother hated Aunt Hong's mother and son, and never stopped; My father had no feelings for Aunt Hong, but it was just a one-night stand, and he was afraid that his mother would be angry, and he was indifferent to Aunt Hong's mother and son like a stranger.

Gu Xuanzhi is only seven years old and doesn't know love and hate.

Gu Jinzhi was even more indifferent.

It's just that the last time she saw Gu Xiuzhi's complexion was wrong, the doctor could ask Aunt Hong if Gu Xiuzhi was vomiting.

Aunt Hong heard that Gu Jinzhi often treated the maids and mothers-in-law at home and even Brother Xuan'er, so she took the opportunity to ask Jinzhi to prescribe medicine for Gu Xiuzhi and get close to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi opened it.

Gu Xiuzhi's vomiting was not a big deal, and it was cured quickly.

Aunt Hong used this as an excuse to get close to Jinzhi everywhere.

Just like it is now.

Gu Xiuzhi listened to Aunt Hong's words very much, and said to Gu Jin: "Thank you, Seventh Sister." ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Begonia took the peach down again.

Mother said to Aunt Hong: "Brother Xiu'er is not in good health, you have to take care of it more." Don't come here to say hello these days. ”

Aunt Hong said yes respectfully.

The mother told them to go out.

Nine-year-old Gu Xiuzhi has been following Aunt Hong for a long time, and he is a little timid and cowardly.

The father looked at it, and couldn't bear it, and said to his mother, let his mother take Brother Xiu'er to take care of herself. But thinking of her mother's hatred for Hong's mother and son, the words were swallowed back.

He didn't dare to mention it.

As soon as Hong's mother and son left, the mother's mood suddenly improved.

After eating, Gu Jinzhi's sister and brother went back to their rooms.

Gu Jinzhi went to his grandfather's study to hand in today's homework. Recently, she not only memorized various medical scriptures, but also read the Five Classics, the Three History, and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

As the saying goes: "Show talent to learn to practice medicine, and cut the salty tooth quickly". Only by knowing the classics can you hold the key to attacking medicine, otherwise you will climb high without a ladder, and you want to cross the river without a boat.

Gu Jinzhi didn't feel tired, he had learned these in his previous life.

In my previous life, my grandfather always said: Medicine comes from Confucianism, and if you don't read and reason, you will end up being vulgar and ignorant, and you can't dredge up changes.

Many prescriptions are ancient sayings, and the subset of scriptures and history is one of the basic skills of the Gu family's introduction to medicine, and it is on the same level as the Neijing, the Difficult Scripture, and the Jinkui Yaoluo.

Therefore, Gu Shifei, the grandfather of this life, always said that she was born smart and a genius who descended from heaven.

If you think about it, it's right.

Who has the memories of two lifetimes and is not considered a genius?

After handing in his homework, Gu Jinzhi went back to his room to rest.

The days passed quietly for a few days.

On the tenth day of the fourth month, my mother read about my aunt's illness and asked Mother Song to take a look.

Mother Song went and came back and said to her mother: "The slave and maid don't look very good, and the uncle's wife has lost a lot of weight, and she has no strength to talk while lying down." ”

Mother was surprised.

She knew that her sister-in-law's heart was so hot, and sooner or later something would happen to her with ice.

changed her clothes, told Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi's nurse to take good care of Gu Jinzhi's sisters and brothers, and her mother took Mother Song to visit her aunt's house.
