Chapter 22: Secrets
"If the scourge lasts for a thousand years, you will live a long life."
"You dead boy!" The old marquis slapped Gu Jinzhen's back.
"Drink tea, Shunqi." With the action of holding the teacup, Gu Jinzhen turned around and avoided the old marquis's sharp palm.
Zhenyuanhou's eyes flashed. After taking a sip of tea, he asked slowly, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”
"I'm recovering well, otherwise I wouldn't have gone out today."
The old marquis looked at Gu Jinzhen scrutinically, "Then let's talk about it, why are you unforgiving to Qiao Qiao." ”
Gu Jinzhen looked disdainful.
The old marquis warned: "Don't tell me anything she deserves to die, Qiaoqiao deserves to die, it's not up to you to decide, you have to tell me a reason." ”
"There's no reason." The things of his previous life are incredible, what did he say?
The old marquis frowned.
His grandson is not a vexatious person, and he has a reason for targeting everyone, and he will never be so stubborn about a child.
He asked himself about countless people, and his eyes were still very vicious, Qiaoqiao, that child, at first glance, was in poor health and introverted, what kind of undying hatred did he have with his grandson?
"Okay, I don't care about you, but you are not allowed to do anything to Qiaoqiao, otherwise, I will get Shen Yi and Shen Er to Qiaoqiao."
"Old man, you ......" Gu Jinzhen grinded his teeth with hatred.
Who are Shen Yi and Shen Er?
It is the secret guard of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and it is the elite of the elite.
In order to guard against him, the old marquis even used by the elite.
As if he had won a battle, Marquis Zhenyuan looked at Gu Jinzhen's gaze with smugness, "Grandfather is not an unreasonable person, when will you tell me the reason why you are so kind to Qiaoqiao, if I accept it, I will not interfere in this matter." ”
Gu Jinzhen was silent.
If he can't come openly, he will come secretly and kill a powerless little kid, he has a way.
Back in the yard, the dumplings were immediately put on hot water.
His own young master has always had a habit of cleanliness, and he was molested by a crazy woman, and it is the limit to endure it until now.
The hot water continued to flow into Gu Jinzhen's room, and it was not until half an hour later that it gradually eased up.
In front of the bronze mirror, Gu Jinzhen looked at the broken skin on her neck and the clear tooth marks, and her face turned red.
Qiao Lixi, I'm not done with you!
Joe's House.
Qiao Lixi eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, and enjoys it more than a piglet, the only regret is that the medicine does not leave her mouth.
"Miss, today is the day of the imperial doctor's follow-up, you have to pack up and go to the main hospital quickly." Forsythia coaxed Qiao Yixi off the bed and helped her dress in an orderly manner.
After cleaning up, Qiao Yixi walked to the main courtyard of the East Courtyard with her little short legs.
"Jojo is here?" Gu Jingshu was directing the maid to set up breakfast, and as soon as she saw Qiao Lixi, she immediately walked over and scratched her nose affectionately, and saw that her face was ruddy, so she nodded reassuringly.
"Where's Daddy?" Qiao Lixi tilted her head and asked.
"Your father went to the Chamber of Commerce early in the morning, and came back after dealing with the affairs over there. If you go back to the clinic today, your father will definitely accompany you. ”
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome." Qiao Lixi said embarrassedly.
"How's that going to work?" Gu Jingshu hugged Qiao Yixi and sat at the table, and picked up a hot towel to help her wipe her hands, "For such a big matter, your father must be present, so he will go over early this morning, finish the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce early, and come back early." ”
Qiao Lixi didn't know what to say.
Although she has a big personality, she has also self-hypnotized - if she comes, she will be safe, but it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, she can't let go, let alone accept it.
Sullenly drinking porridge, the bright little face was sad.
"Is Jojo feeling uncomfortable?" Gu Jingshu asked worriedly.
Qiao Lixi shook her head, "No, I just can't keep up my spirits." ”
"Girl, this is autumn fatigue." Mama Zhong smiled and comforted, "This season is so easy to be lazy, the autumn rain is continuous, it is a good time to sleep, as soon as you sit down, your eyes will fight." ”
"This kid ......" Gu Jingshu touched Qiao Yixi's head, "You are growing up, it's normal, wait for the doctor to finish your follow-up, go back and sleep well." ”
Qiao Yixi nodded obediently.
Just finished breakfast, and before the east room was cleaned up, a maid said that the girls from the other rooms had come.
Gu Jingshu sneered, but didn't say anything.
After saying a few words casually, when Qiao Xingbang came back, he was followed by an old man in his fifties, carrying a medicine box, which should be the imperial doctor.
"I happened to meet at the door." Qiao Xingbang explained a little, and led Imperial Doctor Wen to Qiao Yixi.
Imperial Physician Wen is the imperial physician of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, which is the honor given by the first emperor to the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan fought all the year round, and he suffered from large and small external injuries and internal diseases, and he would get sick when he encountered rainy days or autumn and winter. The first emperor sympathized with the old marquis, and specially transferred a doctor from the Tai Hospital to follow the old marquis.
This is the glory of the courtiers!
It is also the importance of the first emperor to the Marquis of Zhenyuan!
Every autumn and winter, the old marquis will leave the capital, take the imperial doctor back to the old house in Shuzhong to recuperate, and then return to the capital after the first month.
On the southern side of Xinjiang, it has always been guarded by the guards of the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion, and it is the strongest front of the imperial dynasty.
The people of Sichuan and Shu are also proud of being the townsmen of Zhenyuanhou, and every year when the family of Zhenyuanhou comes back to stay in these months, every first and fifteenth day of the new year, they will give porridge in front of the land temple.
Qiao Lixi was lucky, and met the soup kitchen stall of the Hou Mansion in Zhenyuan at the back door of the Hou Mansion, so she rushed into the Hou Mansion by mistake.
Imperial Physician Wen is very good at external injuries, otherwise he would not have been "assigned" to the Marquis of Zhenyuan by the first emperor.
The follow-up visit did not take much time, and Qiao Lixi recovered well.
Mrs. Wen changed the prescription and changed a few flavors.
Gu Jingshu was relieved at this time, and wanted to ask a few more words, but a maid said that the grandmother next to the old lady came.
Mama Gong came in with a sad face, "Madam, the old lady got up today, her throat was uncomfortable, at first she thought it was autumn dryness, the old slave ordered the kitchen to cook rock sugar pears, after the old lady drank it, not only did it not get better, but now she still feels dizzy." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Imperial Physician Wen from the corner of his eye, as if he was hinting at Gu Jingshu something.
Gu Jingshu said: "The old lady is not feeling well, why didn't you ask the house doctor earlier?" Hurry up to the fourth room to get the right cards! ”
Mama Gong stood still and didn't move.
Qiao Xingbang asked impatiently, "What, is there anything else?" ”
Mama Gong sneered, "Go back to the uncle, ask the house doctor to come and go, it will take a lot of time, and the old lady can't afford to delay." ”
"Can't afford to delay? Then why did you go earlier? You've been by the old lady's side, how did you serve? Qiao Xingbang asked.
Mama Gong's face changed suddenly, "It's the old slave's negligence, please forgive me!" The old slave also thought that today was the day of the seventh girl's follow-up, so he went to the East Courtyard and wanted to ask the imperial doctor to go. ”
Finally said the purpose.
"Imperial Physician Wen is a person from the Marquis of Zhenyuan, how can we dispose of it at will?" Gu Jingshu said with a smile: "Instead of wasting time here, Mama should take the sign and ask the house doctor earlier." ”
"It's the old slave who thinks about it, the old slave thinks that the old lady's situation is urgent, and the old man and the lady are most concerned about the old lady's body on weekdays, so they have the courage to ask the doctor to go." Mama Gong said bitterly as if she was referring to something.
Gu Jingshu didn't answer Mama Gong's words at all, but said: "Old lady, after we settle down Qiao Qiao, go over and take a look, Mama Gong, you hurry up." ”
Mama Gong wanted to say something more, but when she saw Imperial Doctor Wen's smiling expression, she didn't dare to say any more.
Who is Imperial Physician Wen?
Wandering in the harem all the year round, what kind of intrigue has never been seen, this little trick of Old Madam Qiao is just a small skill of carving insects in his eyes.
"Imperial Doctor Wen, let you see the joke." Qiao Xingbang sneered.
Imperial Physician Wen waved his hand disappreciatively, "Qiaoqiao has nothing to do here, and I will also leave." ”
Qiao Xingbang sent Imperial Doctor Wen out of Qiao's Mansion all the way to the Intermediate Court with Gu Jingshu.
Old Mrs. Qiao was "sick", so naturally she couldn't show up, Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang waited for the house doctor to come, consulted the old lady, and prescribed medicine before leaving with confidence.
Old Madam Qiao was half-lying on the bed, her wrinkled face full of cruelty.
"Old lady, don't be angry, your body is your own, and if you are sick, it will only make the people in the East Courtyard happy." Mama Gong soothed.
"None of them are good!" Old Madam Qiao patted the bed board and shouted, "I look filial in front of outsiders, in fact, I wish I died early, so that they can occupy my Qiao family's property and be unscrupulous!" ”
"Old lady, what are you doing, you can't be angry with those people." Mama Gong hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and helped the old lady to calm down.
The old lady's face turned red, "Imperial Doctor Wen is still here today, they will ignore me, Ming'er, I'm afraid they will kick me out of Qiao's house!" ”
"Old lady, you are the ancestor of the Qiao family, the heaven of the Qiao family, the East Courtyard? Oh, it's just a wild seed of unknown origin, and they are the ones who should be driven out. ”
"Osmanthus, you say, was I wrong back then?" Mrs. Qiao grabbed Mama Gong's hand, looking for a sense of identity.
"Old lady, you did the right thing, it was you who were kind-hearted back then, and gave that wild seed a mouthful of food, a way out, otherwise, that wild seed would have fed the wild dogs a long time ago. It's the East Courtyard who doesn't know what to do, and the wolf heart is dog's lungs. Old lady, don't worry, let's take our time, we will definitely let the people in the east courtyard hand over the seal, and the old lady is kind-hearted when she leaves the house, according to the meaning of the slave maid, you should let them hand over the seal first, and then return it with interest for so many years, eating us, drinking us, and using our money to return it with interest! Mama Gong's eyes were scarlet, and she said through gritted teeth.
"Back then, if it weren't for that slut, why would I make such a decision, and give the things that belong to the fourth child to an outsider, I didn't think about getting it back, but if the East Window incident happened, the first one in the clan wouldn't let me go! Moreover, the business ability of that wild seed, you can also see, there is no perfect certainty that the people in the Eastern Courtyard will not be able to turn over, I don't dare to act rashly, I am afraid that the wild seed will retaliate. ”
