No.131 Son of Evil
Qingshu lay on the bed and folded paper cranes. I haven't folded it for a long time, and I tried to fold it while recalling, and it took a few times to fold it. The housekeeper begged for Zhou Boyan, hoping that she would ask Gu Ye who wrote the letter. She didn't refuse, she didn't promise. She was a little distressed, and she actually cried at Zhou Boyan, which was really embarrassing. Alas! At that time, I cried so badly, I felt wronged, and the more I thought about it later, the more I felt that I was crying inexplicably and nervous. Alas! This completely ruined her reputation as a fierce woman.
Xiao Yu lightly clicked the door frame three times, "Miss, the slave has something to report." β
Qing Shu counted the folded paper cranes in his hand, a total of seven, plus half folded in his hand, eight. She said slowly, "Come in and say." β
Xiao Yu walked into the door of the inner room, finished saluting, and replied, "Miss, Mrs. Guan just came, saying that Mrs. was sick, and she was in a hurry to ask for a doctor, so she left in a hurry." β
Qing Shu didn't raise his head, "Sue the housekeeper, please Doctor Zhou." β
Xiao Yu replied, "Miss, Mrs. Guan said that Mrs. Don't look at Dr. Zhou, she said that she wanted to invite a doctor surnamed Hu in the east of the town." β
Qing Shu snorted coldly, "Just ask Doctor Zhou." β
Xiaoyu said yes and went out.
The more Qing Shu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and sat up, "Xiaojuan." β
Xiao Juan, who was sitting in the outer room, agreed to enter.
Qing Shu said, "You whispered to the housekeeper to check on Doctor Hu in the east of the town." "If the Gu Ye clan still dares to play tricks, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
As soon as Xiao Juan left, Qing Shu put on embroidered shoes and got out of bed, straightened the clothes on her body, made sure that there was nothing wrong, and prepared to see Gu Ye's family. On the way, she met Lily of the Valley picking red fruits, and Qingshu asked Lily of the Valley to put down the basket and follow her.
Seeing Qing Shu coming, Guan Pozi, who was about to pour the washing water, hurriedly put the basin aside and saluted, "I've seen Miss." β
Qing Shu's gaze fell on Guan Pozi, "What's wrong with Madam?" β
Mrs. Guan subconsciously retracted her right hand into her sleeve, "Mrs. said she was uncomfortable when she got up early, and she lay down to rest after breakfast." When she woke up two quarters of an hour ago, she said that she had a terrible headache, and that her body was weak, and that she was afraid that she was sick, so she told her slave and maid to ask for a doctor. Madame had washed her face and felt a little more refreshed. β
Qing Shu snorted and prepared to go into the house. Guan Pozi and Lily of the Valley hurriedly went over and lifted the light gauze curtain left and right.
Qing Shu walked through the outer room and walked into the inner room, and saw Gu Ye lying on the bed face in, covered with a summer quilt, and his hair was scattered on the pillow under his head. She walked to the bed and spoke to Gu Ye's back, "Mom is better?" β
Gu Ye lay silently, as if asleep.
People who have just washed their faces, they fall asleep before they have time to pour the washing water, who believes. Qing Shu didn't bother to be as knowledgeable as Gu Ye's, walked over and sat down in front of Gu Ye's dresser. Seeing the delicate jewelry box on the dresser, she remembered that when she confiscated the gold and silver in Gu Ye's hands, she forgot about it. She stretched out her hand, tapped the lock on it with her index finger, turned to look at the bed, and saw Gu Ye quickly turn his face away.
Qing Shu was speechless, she was already a woman in her thirties, could she look like an adult! Can you not be as funny as a child of a few years old! In the memory of the original owner, when the general's father was alive, Gu Ye's family was a very gentle and virtuous woman, why did the general's father become such a dead person as soon as he died? This has changed too much! It's incomprehensible.
After a moment of silence, Qing Shu tapped the dresser lightly with her fingers, "Mother, since you haven't slept, let's talk about the letter!" Who wrote the unsigned letter to you? β
Gu Ye didn't move, and began to pretend to be asleep again.
Qing Shu said to herself, "If my guess is right, the person who wrote the letter should be a woman, and it is a woman who can't look down on her mother, right?" β
Gu Ye's back stiffened, but he didn't speak.
Qing Shu noticed Gu Ye's reaction, "Mother, why don't you believe your father, but you have to believe a letter written to you by an irrelevant outsider?" β
Gu Ye sat up, his body trembling slightly, and shouted at Qing Shu angrily, "What do you know? You don't know anything, you don't know anything. β
Guan Pozi didn't know what was going on, and came in in with a panicked expression, but saw Madame glaring at Mademoiselle angrily, and Madame looking back at Madame with a calm face. She couldn't move forward, standing still and not knowing what to do.
Qing Shu waved his hand, "You don't need to wait here, go down!" β
Guan Pozi got the order, agreed, and quickly withdrew. She felt that it was not appropriate to stay outside, so she made a look, took Lily of the Valley out of the house, and stood outside Wenlan Courtyard.
In the room, Qing Shu was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Gu Ye's reaction to be so big, it was really strange. "What do I not know, my father is good to my mother, I only love my mother, and the dignified general has no three wives and four concubines, and he has always only guarded my mother. In the world, I am afraid that few rich men can do it. β
Hearing this, Gu Ye became even more excited, "You don't know anything, you don't understand anything?" He has someone in his heart, and he can't marry his sweetheart, so he retreats and marries me. He married me for the sake of succession, you know? β
Qing Shu stood up and forced himself to the bed, "What did you say?" β
Gu Ye was frightened and shrank straight into the bed, but he didn't change his words, "He just married me for the sake of inheritance, he is a bastard, a bastard." β
Qing Shu grabbed her collar, "Did Dad say that to you, or did someone else sue you like that?" Say. β
Gu Ye's frightened body trembled, and he was about to cry.
Qing Shu ordered with a cold face, "Don't cry." β
Gu Ye was a spirit, tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't dare to let it fall, let alone look at Qing Shu's expression. She cowered, her lips twitching, but she couldn't say a word.
Qing Shu asked again, "Did your father say that to you, or did someone else sue you like this?" Make it clear. β
"Yes......" Gu Ye snorted, "Yes, girl in purple." β
Qing Shu was stunned, "Who is the girl in purple?" β
"The girl in purple, she is the first-class palace maid next to Concubine Xiao." Gu Ye said, taking advantage of Qing Shu's stunned moment, he waved away Qing Shu's hand and hid in the tight back of the bed.
How did this get in touch with Concubine Xiao again. Qing Shu was stunned for a while, didn't care about anything else, and climbed into bed to ask Gu Ye's family. I don't know if I don't know, but I'm shocked when I ask.
Xiao Guifei's name is Die, her mother Xiao Zhou fell in love with Gu Yunhu, who was only a school captain at the time, and intended to marry Xiao Die to Gu Yunhu. Xiao Die's father was unwilling, and Xiao Die himself was unwilling, mainly because he felt that Gu Yunhu was not worthy of their Xiao family. Xiao Zhou's family really likes Gu Yunhu, and he has already explored Gu Yunhu's character and details, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rejected by Master Xiao, which made his daughter unhappy. Xiao Zhou felt regretful, but he could only give up.
Soon, Gu Yunhu married the Gu Ye clan who had a bad reputation, and took the Gu Ye clan to the capital as soon as he was free, and the husband and wife were very affectionate. The noble ladies said that Gu Yunhu and his wife were shameless, accusing them of pulling and hugging in front of everyone, but in their hearts they were both envious and jealous. Later, Gu Ye became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. During this period, Gu Yunhu did not take concubines or accept houses like other men. This made the ladies in the various prefectures in Beijing psychologically unbalanced.
Xiao Zhou sighed when he heard how Gu Yunhu loved his mother. Xiao Die was silent. A few months later, Xiao Die entered the prince's mansion and embarked on the road of competing for favor. And Gu Yunhu and Gu Ye lived a life of deep affection between the couple, and Gu Yunhu's official position also rose step after step. Later, Xiao Die went from the prince's mansion to the palace, continued to compete for favor, slowly climbed up all the way, and was crowned Concubine Die.
Before Gu Ye gave birth to a son, Concubine Die's heart was very calm; After the Gu Ye clan gave birth to a son, Concubine Die's heart fluctuated, and she couldn't accept this result.
The army returned victorious. At the celebration banquet, the harem concubines and the military generals drank together. Avoiding people, the palace maid Ziyi beside Concubine Die said to Gu Ye, "I pity you."
A few days later, the Empress Dowager summoned the wives of military attachΓ©s above the fifth grade, and the Gu Ye clan was also among them. Concubine Butterfly smiled and invited the Gu Ye clan to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. Gu Ye's flower didn't see it, but he saw Gu Yunhu and the eldest princess standing among the flowers, talking and laughing. At this time, Gu Ye had no intention of looking at the flowers, confessed to Concubine Die, and prepared to leave. Ziyi sent Gu Ye to the clan and said to the Gu Ye clan, "You are just the one he married to inherit the lineage, and only the one who is amazing and brilliant is the woman he wants to marry but can't." β
Gu Ye guessed that this was a game set up by Concubine Die who was jealous of her good life, but she was still uneasy, and she wanted to confront Gu Yunhu, but she didn't have the courage. After a period of calm, suddenly in the middle of the night, the eldest princess's cronies came to ask for help, saying that the eldest princess was held hostage by gangsters. Gu Yunhu didn't say a word, he took people out in the middle of the night, and came back at ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, and didn't say a word about last night. Gu Ye originally didn't believe what the purple cloth said, but after this incident, she believed it. She wanted to quarrel with Gu Yunhu and Gu Yunhu, but she had just started, but someone came to call Gu Yunhu away. Gu Yunhu has been gone for more than a month.
Gu Yunhu came back and was safe for a few days. Gu Ye thought about it and wanted to have a good talk with Gu Yunhu, but he didn't want Gu Yunhu to go on another expedition. In the end, the Gu Ye clan tried Gu Yunhu several times in his letters to no avail. One day, Gu Ye took Qingyang, who was less than one year old, to the temple to make incense and make a wish, and happened to meet purple clothes.
At this time, the purple clothes have been released from the palace, and they are no longer the palace maids on duty in front of Concubine Die. Ziyi stepped forward to talk, teasing Qingyang, and said with a smile that Qingyang really looked like an eldest princess.
Gu Ye's face changed at that time. Ziyi whispered that she wanted to tell her a big secret, which was about the eldest princess and General Gu, and said the time and place, so that the Gu Ye clan would go over to see her if they wanted to know.
Gu Ye couldn't hold it back, and hesitated again and again to go. After meeting, Ziyi scolded her for being stupid, saying that the child she had raised for nearly a year was not the one she gave birth to at all. Ziyi also said that the rumors that the eldest princess had an affair with others were true. The eldest princess was pregnant with someone else's child, and after hiding and giving birth to a son, she couldn't bear to strangle her son, so she handed it over to General Gu to raise. Coincidentally, she gave birth on the night of the eldest princess giving birth to her son. So, General Gu replaced her child and put the son born by the eldest princess next to her who was sleeping, and Li Dai was stiff.
Gu Ye's wandering soul returned to the house like a wandering spirit, staring at the little Qingyang babbling on the small bed, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like himself, the more he looked like the eldest princess with his small eyebrows, small eyes, and small mouth. She almost fainted on the spot. After a few days, she stared at Qingyang in a daze from time to time, and no matter what, she couldn't find anything similar to herself from Qingyang. Since then, she has refused to hug Qingyang, and she wants to fall to her death. But she didn't dare, because Qingyang was the child of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was the person the emperor valued the most.
Gu Ye originally wanted to wait for Gu Yunhu to return to Beijing and ask about the whereabouts of his son, but he never thought that Gu Yunhu was dead and the eldest princess was missing, she didn't know who to find her son, she knew that this secret could not be told to others, she knew that her child could not be found at all. The rest of her life is hopeless, she just wants to get by.
Qing Shu took a long time to speak, "Mother, you don't believe your father, but you believe in a woman who has only met a few times and hasn't even figured out the details." Mother, you ......" she couldn't speak, she really wanted to scold her mother for being an idiot and adding two goods. She didn't know what the eldest princess looked like, but Qingyang's appearance was more like her father, she was still sure. Qingyang's eyes are different from Gu Ye's, and they also have crooked eyebrows when they laugh. At this point, their sister and brother followed the Gu Ye clan. Others, such as the nose, mouth and ears, as well as the face shape, Qingyang is a copy of the general's father.
How long are her mother's eyes, she can't even see the fact that her son's appearance follows her husband! has been dying for so many years, it turned out to be the result of her own idiocy and two goods, it is really the best of the best, and it is not acceptable.
Now it's okay, the evil son in other people's mouths and the evil son in Gu Ye's mind have finally appeared. Qingyang, who was denied by his own mother for a long time.
Gu Ye retorted, "My mother has eyes to see, so she naturally knows whose words are true and whose words are false." β
Qing Shu stroked his forehead, "Mother, are you sure that Xiaoyang doesn't look like his father?" "Her mother, she also said that she has eyes to see, and she can see that the fart is coming, and there are no beads in the eyes, and it is better not to have long eyes, which is the best.
Gu Ye immediately replied, "It's not like it, it's not like it anywhere." β
Qing Shu twitched the corners of her mouth, "So, that letter was written by the girl in purple?" "When you meet the best idiot, don't think about making the idiot smart, you can only continue to be idiot.
Gu Ye nodded.
Qing Shu got off the bed of the idiot mother, shook her head and went out. Seeing that Guan Pozi and the others were standing outside the courtyard gate and waiting, he pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "Has Dr. Zhou arrived?" "Her mother urgently needs a doctor, but the doctor is enough to cure idiocy.
Guan Pozi replied: "I arrived, and I was waiting outside the inner courtyard." β
"Ask Dr. Zhou to come in and ask for Madame's pulse." Qing Shu commanded, turned around and entered the house again. She has to keep an eye on the best mother, so that the best mother will make trouble because she didn't ask for a named doctor. When she first entered the hospital, although Guan Pozi hid her hand in her sleeve, she still saw the freshly baked scratches on the back of Guan Pozi's hand. It wouldn't be Guan Pozi who caught it herself, so he didn't need to think about the candidate, it must have been done by the Gu Ye clan.
When Doctor Zhou came in, Guan Pozi had already lowered the bed curtain, and only let Gu Ye stretch out his wrist to come out. Doctor Zhou sat on the embroidery pier placed by Xiaojuan, quietly checked the pulse for a while, and said, "Madame is not seriously ill, but her body is weak, and it will be helpful to go out every day to see more wind." His words are translated, that is, the Gu Ye clan is too lazy and too homely, as long as the Gu Ye clan is willing to move more, bask in the sun more, and do some work, his body will definitely not be so empty.
Gu Ye naturally didn't like to listen to it, "Mrs. Ben has a headache and pantothenic acid all over her body, how can you be fooled by saying that your body is weak." β
Dr. Zhou immediately stood up from the embroidery pier, "I have only been a shallow learner, and I have not been able to diagnose my wife's illness, so I ask my wife to forgive me." β
Gu Ye, "It's good that you know. β
Qing Shu interjected from the side, "Doctor Zhou, does my mother need to take medicine?" β
Dr. Zhou hesitated, "This ......" the patient was not satisfied with his pulse, how did he prescribe it.
Gu Ye said, "He can't diagnose the disease, where do you need him to prescribe another prescription." I went to ask Dr. Hu in the east of the town, and I heard that Dr. Hu had excellent medical skills, so I asked him to give it a try. β
Qing Shu didn't hear it, and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou, let's prescribe a prescription!" My mother has been a little upset recently, and I don't know if it's appropriate to add some coptis to the recipe? β
Doctor Zhou was stunned, and found that the Gu Ye clan behind the bed curtain was actually quiet. He was surprised in his heart, and when he saw Qing Shu smiling and waiting for his answer, he replied like a ghost, "Yes." β
Qing Shu said again, "Please ask Dr. Zhou to prescribe another bottle of wound medicine, there are people in the house who have been scratched by cats and injured the back of their hands, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate not to apply medicine." β
Guan Pozi, who was standing next to him with her head down, listened, Huo Di raised her head, but immediately lowered her head and continued to stand quietly.
After Dr. Zhou opened the prescription, Qingshu personally sent Dr. Zhou out. And Gu Ye, who was lying on the bed, his face was flushed, and his hands were clutching the summer quilt tightly, a typical dare to be angry and dare not speak.
In order to cure the Gu Ye clan well, Qing Shu sat in the Gu Ye clan room until the medicine was caught and boiled well. She personally brought the medicine bowl to Gu Ye's family, "Mother, the medicine should be drunk while it is hot." β
Gu Ye dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, staring at the medicine bowl without moving.
Qingshu said again, "Mother, as the saying goes, good medicine is bitter. This Coptis chinensis is a good thing, bitter is a bitter point, but it can cure diseases. Mother, in order to cure the disease, we have to endure hardship. β
Gu Ye took the bowl with a miserable face, drank the medicine in the bowl, rinsed his mouth seven or eight times without any image at all, and lay down face in again, leaving his back to Qing Shu.
Qing Shu smiled and told the Gu Ye clan to have a good rest, and left satisfied. When she returned to the room, she picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: Xiao Guifei was a first-class palace maid by her side when she was a butterfly concubine, and she was in purple clothes.
She blew dry the ink, folded the paper, handed it to Xiaoyu, and instructed Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu to go together and hand the note to the housekeeper.
