"Disciple Lin Nuo, meet Master!" Lin Nuo hurriedly knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Gu Ye three times.

Gu Ye raised his forehead embarrassedly, stepped forward and bent down to help him up, and said with a smile: "I'll let you settle down in the outer courtyard first." I've just arrived in Beijing, and some of my plans are just in the beginning. If you live in the house first, and if you need any medicinal herbs, go to the Jimin Hall to get them and put them in my account. If you have any questions, it's best to sort them all out and answer them for you when I have time. Belch...... Still have questions? ”

"......" Lin Nuo was silent for a moment, looking at her again and again, not knowing whether to make this request. However, he really couldn't enjoy himself in a high-ranking family, and let his mother suffer in a broken shack.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan hurriedly said, "If you have any requirements, ask the girl directly." We girls are kind-hearted and will never sit idly by if we can help you. ”

"That...... The disciple has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. My mother has been in poor health for the past two years, and when she came to Beijing this time, the disciple was not worried that she would stay alone in her hometown, so he brought her and settled her in Nancheng. Disciple ......" Lin Nuo said half of his words, and he was really embarrassed to speak. How can anyone be a medicine boy and bring a mother?

Gu Ye thought for a while and said, "That's it, my grandfather has an idle yard nearby. You take your mother and live there first. Full moon, you lead Lin Nuo to the Gu Mansion to recognize the door and explain to Aunt Fu Bofu. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Nuo knew that no matter how many words he had, he couldn't express his gratitude to Miss Gu, he would keep it in his heart deeply and repay it with his actions.

Yue Yuan rented a carriage and accompanied Lin Nuo to the south of the city to pick up his mother. For this big medicine meeting, Mother Lin sold almost all her family property and came to the capital all the way to save money.

Lin Nuo's status as a third-level pharmacist can live in the pharmacist post house for free. The inn also provides hospitality for the pharmacist's family, but it charges 5 cents a day.

Mother Lin was distressed about money, so she went out to find a place to live by herself. In the shack area in the south of the city, she found a shed that could shelter from the wind and rain, and it was only five big money in ten days. In order not to sit and eat, she also found a job as a laundry worker, and had to walk back and forth for two hours every day. She hid all this from her son!

Lin Nuo jumped out of the carriage in the most dilapidated part of the shack area, said "wait a minute" to the full moon, and then bent down through the shacks one by one and found the shed where his mother lived. The shed was empty, and after inquiring with an old woman next to me, I learned that my mother had to go to help people do the work every day, and she would go all day. When I came back, I was so tired that I fell asleep, and I couldn't even take a sip of water.

Lin Nuo's fists clenched tightly, holding back the tears in his eyes. He is really unfilial, in order to pursue further progress in medicine, he only cares about practicing and ignoring the financial situation of his family.

His mother was not in good health, and she had been dragging her sick body to maintain the livelihood of the family, trying her best to support his ideals. changed to a child from another family, and at his age, he would have already shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family! He was too selfish......

Asking where his mother was, he got out of the shack again.

The full moon stood beside the carriage, out of place with the people and things around it. Around her, there were old men and ragged children in the distance. They looked enviously at the carriage beside her, and the clothes on her body.

An old woman, holding a skinny little girl, plucked up the courage to come over, and asked with sincere fear: "Miss, do you buy a maid?" My little granddaughter is very sensible and capable, only 500 big money! ”

Yue Yuan shook his head slowly and said, "I'm just a maid, and I can't be the master." I'm so sorry! ”

After Lin Nuo came out, an old man grabbed him and whispered, "Little pharmacist, are you developed?" He actually got into the carriage and aroused the maid. Tsk, look at the clothes on the girl's body, the muslin material, and the embroidered flowers, and the silver hairpin on her head is worth a few taels of silver, right? That bearing, it doesn't look like a maid, she says that she is a young lady from a rich family, and everyone believes it! ”

Lin Nuo smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you also think too highly of me." I just found a job, and the lord was kind, so he sent this maid sister to help get some things. ”

"That's good, too! Look at the dress and complexion of that maid, you know that your master is very good to his subordinates, and you are blessed little pharmacist. The old man was envious.

"Uncle, I rushed to pick up my mother and said goodbye!" Lin Nuo had already packed all the luggage left by his mother in the shack and was ready to pick up his mother and go directly to the Gu family's house in Xicheng.

Mother Lin, who was helping to wash clothes at the master's house, heard the little girl say that her son was coming to her, thinking that something was wrong, so she quickly wiped her hands and trotted out.

Lin Nuo looked at his thin mother, his temples were already dyed with frost, and his eyes were only squinted when he looked at people because of long-term needlework. His nose was sour, and he choked up: "Mother, I have found the master's house." The main family is kind-hearted and allows family members to be brought. I'm here to pick you up! ”

Mother Lin was stunned when she heard this, and only after a while did she ask cautiously, "What about the medicine that you have spent years of hard work on?" It's just so deserted? Didn't you say that you have a hope of being admitted to an intermediate pharmacist this year? It's a shame to give up! Don't worry about money, my mother will find a way, my mother doesn't want you to give up now, and regret it in the future! ”

"Mother, I didn't give up studying pharmacy. My master is a very powerful pharmacist, and I am a medicine boy by his side, not only can I take care of food and shelter, but I can also learn more exquisite pharmaceutical skills. Oh, and by the way, the medicinal herbs for practicing pharmacy are also available for free! Lin Nuo took his mother's arm and helped her to the carriage.

Behind them, a mother-in-law with a meaty face roared fiercely at the top of her voice: "Mrs. Lin, if you grind hard, you won't be able to get any wages today!" Grinding and chirping all day long, working and grinding, I shouldn't have looked for you in the first place! ”

Lin Nuo wrinkled his eyebrows, glared at her coldly, and said, "We don't want the salary, and we won't come again in the future!" You see who is easy to use, who to find! ”

Mother Lin is still a little reluctant to pay today's wages, she washed her clothes for half a day, and she can get two or three copper plates! However, with her son by her side, she had to take into account his feelings, so she didn't say anything, and obediently followed her into the carriage.

The carriage galloped all the way, and after half an hour, it arrived at the Gu family's house in the west of the city. The Gu family's house is a royal gift, although it is not very big, but it is not far behind. The courtyard of the three entrances, five rooms in the east and west, the courtyard is quite open.

There is no master in the house, only Fu Bo and Aunt Fu are left to guard the door and take care of the yard. Fu Bo was a soldier under Gu Xiao, his leg was injured, and he walked little by little. However, he is not bad, and he runs away from the thieves who come in over the wall.
