Chapter 116: The Empress Dowager
Because of the favor of the old lady, Ah Xiu became the upstart of the General's Mansion within one day, and even Nabi Mama was smiling when she saw Ah Xiu.
Mrs. Gu even ordered directly, and this Axiu girl refers to the eldest lady's daily life.
What a love!
Ah Xiu was a little uncomfortable, she didn't plan to stay in the General's Mansion for long, in this case, if she had to leave at that time, she would have a reputation for being ungrateful.
And those subordinates were too flattering to her, which also made Ah Xiu even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she ran to find Dr. Tang on weekdays, and Dr. Tang lived in the most remote courtyard of the General's Mansion, where there was only Dr. Tang and a dumb servant.
This Doctor Tang usually talks very little, and the whole courtyard seems to be uninhabited.
At the beginning of each month, I have to send some things for daily use here, but this errand is not willing to be done by everyone, and it is decided by drawing lots.
So as soon as this Ah Xiu hid over there, there was a lot less disturbance.
And because she has such a good relationship with Dr. Tang, the eyes of those subordinates who look at her are a little weird, and there is always a trace of awe.
"Have you heard that the Empress Dowager is sick?" Doctor Tang used a pen to slightly change the recipe written by Ah Xiu, and said as if unintentionally.
In fact, when he learned that Lu Dao Gu Jingling was going to bring Ah Xiu back, he knew in his heart what the reason for Lu Dao was.
The Empress Dowager's problem is not a day or two, he knew fifteen years ago that she would have such a day.
It's just that at that time, he could cure her illness, but the disease has progressed to the present. He couldn't help it.
Although the imperial court is now secretly looking for a miracle doctor, it is just that the Xue family can't cure the disease, how can such a folk doctor cure it well.
Moreover, although he knew that the Queen Mother's nature was not bad, it was a pity that there was a dead knot in the middle between them.
He would never save his enemies.
And Ah Xiu, he didn't want her to step into this whirlpool.
"I don't know what to do." Ah Xiu shook her head, she originally lived in the countryside and had closed information, plus she had been in the military camp for so long, so she didn't know what to do.
"This time, Gu Jingling will bring you to the capital. Guess it's for this thing. You'd better think of a good reason to refuse. Dr. Tang said.
Although he cares about people's words, he has the ability to speak hard.
I don't know what to do, I think he's threatening people!
Fortunately, Ah Xiuzhi said that he was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and facial paralysis was not what he wanted.
"What's the mystery in that?" Ah Xiu asked with some curiosity.
She had thought about this before, and Gu Jingling invited her so warmly to go on the road together. Maybe it was for some purpose.
But I didn't see him mention it after that. It's just that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Really. She didn't misread him!
But just to let her see a doctor is much better than other attempts.
"Today's saints are just hairy children, and there are a few people who are sincerely surrendered to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. If it weren't for her pressure, this dynasty would definitely not be so stable. ”
Ah Xiu nodded, she knew that this little emperor had just ascended the throne this year.
It's just that this Doctor Tang is too rude to say this about today's saints, right......
However, she also understood the deep meaning of his words, the current position of the empress dowager is like listening to the government, although the person sitting on the throne is the little emperor, but she is the one who really makes the decision.
Now that she's sick, whoever goes to heal it has to take a lot of risk.
And whether this is cured well or not, the responsibility to bear is not small.
After all, not everyone wants to see her get better......
Ah Xiu only felt that he couldn't wait to leave the general's mansion now.
She knew that this Gu Jingling was not a good thing!
"Doctor Tang, your place is almost deserted, or you can go out of the house with me, anyway, you are half my master, and I also have a lot of private money, enough for us to eat and live." Ah Xiu said jokingly.
Although her tone was more relaxed, her words were true.
She wanted to leave with Dr. Tang.
Dr. Tang was slightly stunned, his nose suddenly sour, but he didn't immediately nod in agreement.
"There are some things that haven't been resolved yet, and I can't leave yet." This Gu family can be regarded as his own life-saving benefactor, he can't just leave.
There are some things that still need to be clarified.
And he had agreed with the unfilial son before, waiting for him in the General's Mansion for half a month, and when he had arranged everything, he would come to pick him up and Ah Xiu.
"Okay then." Ah Xiu was a little disappointed, does that mean that he has to stay here for a while.
It's not that she hates this Gu family, it's also because this old lady is too good to her, and she is afraid that she will really have feelings for this place at that time.
After all, her heart is not made of stone.
"There are some things that God has already arranged." Doctor Tang gently patted Ah Xiu's head.
It's like they'll meet again in 10 years......
After staying from Dr. Tang's side until it was getting dark, Ah Xiu walked out slowly.
Sure enough, there was already a servant waiting there, waiting for her to come out, and invite her to supper.
For Ah Xiu to like to be close to Dr. Tang, the old lady is very happy to see it.
And the old lady also heard that this Doctor Tang's attitude towards Ah Xiu was not ordinary, and she was even more convinced that she was the reincarnation of Song Yuechen, and she became more and more kind to her.
Probably because she was in a happier mood, she had not been ill during these days.
Because of the existence of Ah Xiu, Lao Taijun is very rare during this time, and she eats with her family every day.
"Ah Xiu, you don't have time to stay on that old stubborn side, the little girl has to go out to play more." The old lady said and glanced at Gu Jinrong.
This Ah Xiu has been in the capital for four or five days, and he has not been out of the city once.
Although it is cold now, there are many places to go in the capital.
I am bored in the general's mansion every day, what if I get sick.
"Grandma is right, Ah Xiu, I'll take you out of the city tomorrow to have a look, let's go out for breakfast, you must not have seen the morning market." Gu Jinrong received the old lady's eyes and said with a smile.
"Then it's troublesome for Sister Gu." Ah Xiu said softly.
Before, she was called Gu Jinrong or Miss Gu, but because the old lady liked her, she changed her name to Sister Gu.
Otherwise, not everyone can casually call Gu Jinrong a sister.
"Then I'll ask Yan'er to come to you tomorrow morning, and we'll go out early in the morning." Gu Jinrong originally thought that she would have to take a little effort, but she didn't expect Ah Xiu to be so easy to speak, which was really a bit unexpected for her.
In fact, she has always been a little unsure of Ah Xiu's temper, to say that she doesn't love money, but she is worried about medical expenses with Ah Ling everywhere. To say that she doesn't like to cling to the powerful, but coaxing the old lady to come, it's just a matter of three or two sentences.
This made Gu Jinrong a little dazed, what is this Ah Xiu's nature.
"Then wait for the account room to pay two thousand taels of silver, Ming'er can buy whatever you like, Rong'er, you take Ah Xiu to make a few sets of beautiful clothes, what does this old clothes look like in your old clothes." The old lady said.
Because she is the person she loves, she wants to put the best in front of her, for fear that she will be wronged.
"Grandma, Ah Xiu is also my friend, I want to entertain my own friends, how can I use your money." Gu Jinrong didn't follow the way, and these two thousand taels were too much.
You must know that she, the eldest lady of the general's mansion, is only ten taels of silver per month......
This old lady was so generous to Ah Xiu, Gu Jinrong felt a little bit of a taste in her heart.
"Okay, well, then it should be grandma's subsidy for you, you can only buy whatever you like." The old lady said with a smile.
"A few days ago, I specially found an embroidery girl to measure Axiu's figure, and the clothes should be sent over tomorrow and tomorrow, how can the outside store have the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady in Fuzhong, I want to say, why don't you buy some good-looking ready-to-wear clothes, wear them casually, and lose them directly if you don't like them." Mrs. Gu interjected with a smile.
This little girl is all good-looking, although this embroidery girl is good at embroidery, but the style of the clothes is far less than those garment stores outside.
Although there are some materials that Mrs. Gu can't look down on, it doesn't hurt to wear them casually.
If you really like it, just buy the clothes back and let the embroidery girl do it like that.
"This is good, I also liked to wear the clothes in the ready-to-wear store back then, the style is much better, not like the ones made at home, do and do so some styles, my mother wore it when she was young, I also wore it when I was not married, I didn't have any intention at all, no wonder the business in those ready-to-wear stores is getting better and better." The old lady agreed on the side.
When she was young, she liked to go to buy those beautiful ready-to-wear clothes with Sister Chen, and sometimes the fabric was too ordinary, so she would take it home and let the embroidery girl at home imitate it.
If it weren't for the fact that those clothes and fabrics couldn't be on the table, where would there be a place for those embroiderers.
"It's cold this day, Rong'er will wait and then go to the warehouse for Ah Xiu to get a scarf, it is the white fox fur that Ah Ling hunted last year, I remember making a scarf and a pair of handguards, you can get that when the time comes, it is warmer, Ah Xiu is from the south, and he must not stand the cold." Mrs. Gu said with great concern.
The white fox is relatively rare, Gu Jingling hunted one last year, I don't know how many people are coveted by Lu Dao, especially those young ladies.
It's a pity that Gu Jinrong is in good health and is not afraid of the cold, even if he makes a handguard food shawl, it is useless.
In addition, this coat color is not very suitable for Mrs. Gu's age, so she placed it in the warehouse, originally thinking of waiting for Pei Yan's birthday and rewarding her.
I didn't expect that now there is a show who is afraid of the cold, and it can be used.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu was thinking so thoroughly, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Although his daughter-in-law only gave birth to three children in the General's Mansion, and did not allow the eldest to take concubines, she was very good at dealing with the world and her heart.
When Ah Xiu heard this, he hurriedly thanked him on the side. (To be continued......)
