Changzhou, Jiangsu, also known as Dragon City. In his previous life, Gu Jinzhi was born here.

However, it is now called Yeonryungfu.

Yanling Mansion is picturesque, and the Longxi River passes by the city. Longxi River is adjacent to the Grand Canal, close to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, and has convenient transportation, so it has the reputation of "Zhongwu Yaofu, Bayi Famous Capital".

Yanling is the land of fish and rice, and it is a treasure of nature. If it is peaceful today, it is even more like a cloud of thousands of people competing for the stream, and the wealth and prosperity will not be said.

In her previous life, Gu Jinzhi's parents were both children of the Wang clan in Beijing, but she herself was born and raised in Changzhou.

At that time, her father was in politics and experienced at the grassroots level, and he was the deputy mayor of Changzhou, and her mother also worked in Changzhou. Gu Jinzhi was born in Changzhou. When she was thirteen years old, her father, who was the secretary of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee, was transferred to the capital, and she followed her parents back to her home in the capital.

Later, Gu Jinzhi occasionally passed by Changzhou because of work, but he never had the opportunity to live for a long time.

When she died, she always dreamed of her small yard when she was in Changzhou. The luxuriant gardenia trees, before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the snow-colored delicate stamen is covered with emerald green branches, and the yard is full of fragrant fragrance.

She had never smelled that strong fragrance again in her life.

She didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to return to Changzhou by herself.

However, this Changzhou is already Yanling, a more antique ancient town.

Now, she is no longer the eldest lady Gu Jinzhi of the Chinese medicine family, but the seventh lady Gu Jinzhi of the Chengguo Mansion.

As in her previous life, her ancestors were all medical heirlooms and enjoyed a good reputation; Her grandfather was a saint of the world, and her father and uncle were unwilling to inherit the family business, so they had to go into business or politics.

Grandfather had no support, so he taught his most beloved granddaughter, exactly like her grandfather in her previous life.

When her grandfather Gu Shifei handed her the introductory medical scriptures every day, Gu Jinzhi did not feel bored, but relished, and showed that she was very diligent and studious. Although what her grandfather Gu Shifei taught her was already familiar to her.

She understands the old man and doesn't want her grandfather to be sad.

Grandfather didn't want to teach Gu Jinzhi. When he started teaching Gu Jinzhi, Gu Jinzhi was already ten years old, and in this era, she would get married in three or five years.

Grandfather wanted to teach Gu Jinzhi's younger brother Gu Xuanzhi.

Gu Xuanzhi was only five years old, he couldn't read books, his grandfather told him the Neijing, where did he understand what his grandfather was talking about? My grandfather was often angry about it and angry alone.

Gu Jinzhi thought of his grandfather in his previous life, and he couldn't bear it.

The old man is in his twilight years, but he wants to have a successor to what he has studied all his life. His sons all thought that his medical skills were mediocre, and the other grandchildren were far away in the capital, and only Gu Jin's family accompanied him.

Gu Jinzhi has two younger brothers, a seven-year-old brother and a five-year-old brother.

Grandfather has a clear love and hate, and he doesn't like Gu Jinzhi's cousin Gu Xiuzhi very much.

Seeing his grandfather's depraved and lost appearance, Gu Jinzhi began to deliberately recite a few words from the Neijing in front of his grandfather. Grandfather was surprised, and tentatively taught Gu Jin something. Soon, he discovered that Gu Jinzhi had an amazing memory and a super comprehension ability.

He sighed: Gu Jinzhi is a genius and should be his heir.

Since then, Gu Jinzhi has been studying medicine with his grandfather every day.

In the past two years, she has studied the "Neijing", "Difficult Scripture", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", "Jinkui Yaolu" and so on again.

Gu Jinzhi's parents objected at first. They think that if a girl reads the Four Books and Five Classics of a few women, and then learns the Female Commandments and the Book of Filial Piety, it will be almost the same. In the future, I will have to work hard and decorate the façade by reciting some poems. Needle Female Red is the point.

It's just that Gu Jinzhi used to always be cowardly and didn't like to talk, and his grandfather was also lazy and didn't ask about the world. Since she began to study medicine, Gu Jinzhi has gained spirit, and occasionally shows the liveliness of a little girl; My grandfather was also full of spirits, and his voice was loud and powerful.

Gu Jinzhi's parents never intervened again.

In Yanling, the rules are not as strict as in the capital.

The children are healthy and the elderly are healthy, which is the greatest blessing.

In a flash, it has been two years, and Gu Jinzhi has learned his grandfather's knowledge to a certain extent. Whoever has a headache and brain fever in the family is prescribed by her to take medicine.

There was no need for her to hide her past life.

It's just that when someone in the family was sick and began to show signs, Gu Jinzhi found out and prescribed medicine. After eating, he was cured.

Because it was cured when the prevention was gradual, everyone didn't know that their situation was strict, and they thought that they were a minor illness, and Gu Jinzhi was also a small means.

So, she got the name of a half-bucket of water.

No one believed she had medical skills.

"Sister Jin, why are you in a daze again?"

On the third day of April, it was Gu Jinzhi's eldest aunt Sun's birthday, and his mother took Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother Gu Xuanzhi to celebrate his birthday.

The canopy thick tassel carriage creaked forward, and the mother, Mrs. Gu San, sorted out the clothes for her brother Gu Xuanzhi, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Jinzhi sitting in a daze, and couldn't help but call her softly.

Gu Jinzhi looked back and showed a shallow smile.

And her mother didn't like her to be in a daze the most. Every time she saw her stunned, her mother chuckled in her heart, for fear that she was a fool, and she would call her.

"Wait a while, your mouth will be sweet, and you will call ...... when you see someone," her mother told Gu Jinzhi again.

Gu Jinzhi is notoriously not talkative.

She nodded and said, "I remember, mother." Stopped my mother's nagging.

"Don't be in a daze when you're seated!" The mother still couldn't stop and told her again.

Gu Jinzhi used to be always cowardly, no one liked to take care of her when she sits, she thought about things quietly, and her relatives at home often said behind her back that she had a bad brain, there was a problem, and her mother was angry to death.

After a long time, Gu Jinzhi is a stupid girl, she is already famous, and no one has come to ask for marriage at the age of twelve this year.

My mother was worried.

Gu Jinzhi smiled lightly again and continued: "Got it." ”

Whether she really knows or not, Mrs. Gu San has no way of knowing. Seeing Gu Jin's face being obedient, he didn't say anything more about her.

The car arrived at Qingguo Lane.

Qingguo Lane is one of the most famous places in Yanling Province, where two major families live in Yanling: the Song family and the Jiang family.

Among them, the Song family is Gu Jinzhi's foreign family.

The Yanling Song family, famous in the south of the Yangtze River, is a three-hundred-year-old family.

The Song family has produced many celebrities in the past dynasties.

For example, Gu Jinzhi's maternal great-grandfather Song Ming, a famous anti-Japanese general, died on the battlefield, and was praised by people and inkmen, which has been passed down to this day.

Another example is Gu Jinzhi's second uncle Song Xi, a prodigy in Jiangnan who shocked Jiangnan, and became a jinshi at the age of fifteen, and was the first person in the dynasty. He was in the Hanlin Academy for two years, and then resigned from his errand and returned to Yanling, where he wrote poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings all day long, and was already known as the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River.

His calligraphy and painting are hard to find.

In the history of later generations, there are the names of Song Ming and Song Xi, and Gu Jinzhi sighed very much.

It turns out that this is a name left for the ages.

Gu Jinzhi's maternal grandfather and uncle were not well-known. My grandfather used to be a thorn in Wenzhou, and my uncle is now a salt law in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and he has an excellent fat difference.

The Song family has flourished to this day.

The carriage went directly to the hanging flower gate of the Song Mansion.

Gu Jinzhi and the three got out of the car, and the second aunt Qin, with the maids and servants, personally greeted them.

"Brother Xuan is growing again!" The second aunt smiled and said to her mother, "Our brother is two months older than him, and he is less than half as tall." ”

Brother Yu is the youngest son of his second uncle, whose scientific name is Song Yanyu, and he is also seven years old this year.

"How can a child be conclusive?" The mother smiled and said, "If you grow late, you will grow well in the future." You're too impatient......"

The second aunt laughed: "No, I hate that he will grow up all of a sudden......"

Everyone laughed.

Then the second aunt praised Gu Jin's beauty again.

Gu Jinzhi called out to the second aunt, and followed behind her mother quietly.

The group went to the courtyard of the eldest aunt.

Today is the birthday of the eldest aunt Sun, and it is different from the excitement of previous years, this year only the sister-in-law and a few close relatives in the Song clan were invited, and no one else was at all, but it was simple.

When my mother looked at this, she was slightly surprised and wanted to ask what was going on.

The eldest aunt has always loved extravagance.

Yuehua Pavilion set up a small stage, and after the guests came, they went to Yuehua Pavilion to open the banquet.

The eldest aunt was a little mentally weak.

Her mother asked her, "Sister-in-law, are you tired?" ”

The eldest aunt had a good relationship with her mother, so she whispered to her, "It's not very good...... Last month, I contracted a cold and had a fever. After taking Dr. Zhao's medicine, the fever subsided, and the wind chill also improved. It's just that my heart is like a fire, and I am always unhappy, and it is not good to eat or sleep......"

The mother looked at the eldest aunt's face, and sure enough, it was a little less, and said, "It's not okay to be next to each other." Would you like Dr. Zhao to take a look at it again? ”

Doctor Zhao's name is Zhao Daoyuan, he used to be a Taoist priest, he read hexagrams accurately, and he was a famous doctor in Jiangnan.

"He went to the capital." The eldest aunt was quite regretful, then lowered her voice and said, "I heard that there is a noble person in Beijing who is sick, so I made a special trip to invite Dr. Zhao." ”

The mother was slightly stunned.

Zhao Daoyuan is very arrogant, and pays attention to fate when treating people. He had a little friendship with Gu Jinzhi's maternal grandfather, so his eldest aunt could invite him to come and see.

Ordinary nobles please leave him alone, unless it is a big man.

The mother kept silent.

After a pause, my mother said, "Then ask other doctors to take a look?" ”

"Please......" the eldest aunt said, "Yanling's doctor is pleased, but after taking the medicine, it still doesn't get better, and my heart is even hotter, and I always eat ice." Last time, I ate a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup and had a good night's sleep. But cold things are always cold things, and this is not a hot summer, so I don't dare to eat more......"

The mother frowned slightly.

She doesn't know medical science, so she can't do anything.

"Last time you said you had a headache, you just took the medicine prescribed by your old man. Can you please ask your old man to prescribe medicine for me too? "The eldest aunt remembered the old man of the Gu family.

The old man had heard that his medical skills were mediocre.

But the eldest aunt thought that since he had been a point in the Tai Hospital, he should have something to do, at least better than those unknown doctors in Yanling.

Yanling is a bit of a famous doctor, and the eldest aunt has seen it all.

After taking the medicine for a month, it still doesn't work.

She's sick and rushing to the hospital now.

The mother laughed: "...... My old man hasn't prescribed a prescription for five or six years. Last time I was in a really bad pain, and the medicine in the past was not good, life is better than death, it was Sister Jin'er's prescription. What does she know? Afterwards, I thought that it should be the old man who read my daily filial piety and told Sister Jin about the recipe......"

The eldest aunt showed a little regret.

As she spoke, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and the heat in her heart floated inexplicably.

When it is hot, the heart burns, and the person is very uncomfortable.

"Go and bring a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup." The eldest aunt hesitated for a moment and ordered the little maid beside her.

When she couldn't stay up, she ate ice to calm the town.

The mother watched from the sidelines and was terrified.

She has been married to the Gu family for more than ten years, and she knows some medical science. If there is heat in the body, it should be channeled with medicine, so that it is pressed with ice, but I am afraid that the disease will be aggravated.

But she only understood this, and she didn't know what to do, so she didn't say much.

When I got home in the evening, my mother talked to my father Gu Yanzhen about my aunt's illness.

Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother Gu Xuanzhi were eating fresh peaches brought back by their father on the side.

This season, the peaches are not yet on the market, and I don't know where my father got them, but my brother eats them happily. Gu Jinzhi didn't love the taste of peaches very much, so he didn't bite a bite and listened to his parents.

"Yan zhòng is not strict zhòng?" Gu Yanzhen asked with concern.

"I can't see it." Song said, "My sister-in-law was plump, but she lost some weight, and she looked energetic." Still, she said she had a heartburn. That's not a good thing after all. ”

Gu Jinzhi took another bite of the peach, which was crunchy and a little sour.
