217 Adoptive Mother (2nd Shift)

The business of the hospital was only deserted for one day, and the next day there were more people, and fortunately, the injured who had been treated here earlier were discharged one after another.

Jiang Shi is still being treated.

He was one of the most serious patients in the accident, having successfully weathered the perilous period just a few days ago and is now in good condition and seeing new improvements every day.

His voice was gradually recovering, and he could occasionally speak a few words hoarsely.

Gu Jiao has already learned that his name is Jiang Shi, a native of Yuxian County, who is twenty-one years old this year, and his sister Jiang Li is eight years old this year.

They were in the village where there was a famine, and his parents and family starved to death, leaving him and his sister alone.

The two of them were bought by someone and resold many times, in fact, everyone can sell if they are separated, but Jiang Shi is reluctant to part with his sister.

It was also by chance that the two of them were sold into the capital, and he worked as a black worker for the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

The wages of working as a black worker are not much, but the frugality is barely enough to give my sister a bite to eat.

From Jiang Shi's mouth, Gu Jiao also learned that there are many black workers like him, and it is a kind of luck to be able to do black work for the imperial court, some people are not bought by the corrupt officials of the imperial court, but are sold to some black-hearted small workshops, which is really miserable.

This kind of black labor has no household registration or road guide in the capital, although the imperial court bears their treatment expenses and makes up a little salary for them, but when they are cured, they all have to leave the capital.

Gu Jiao hung today's hanging needle for Jiang Shi.

Jiang Li was not in the ward, she went to the lobby to help.

The little girl was already familiar with the people in the medical hall, and understood that the people here would not hurt her, so she gradually let down her guard, and she would go to help when there were many people.

She was helping to pack the medicine bag today, and her hands and feet were not too sharp, but she did it very carefully.

When Gu Jiao observed Xiao Jiangli, Doctor Song suddenly walked over, smiled, and said, "The little girl works very hard, and she can recognize a lot of medicinal herbs, which is much stronger than me at that time." ”

As he spoke, a carriage came from outside the door.

The four accompanying guards were all riding tall horses, and at a glance they knew that the people in the carriage were extraordinary.

Sure enough, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a noble and gorgeous young lady stepped down.

Who is it if it's not Princess Rui?

Princess Rui met Gu Jiao on the stone arch bridge on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and never appeared since.

She stepped out of the carriage with the support of the two female officials, and she waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, don't help me, I'm not without hands and feet!" ”

"But you have to be careful." Female Officer Xu said.

Princess Rui ignored her, stepped into the lobby, and when she saw Gu Jiao, she smiled happily: "Miss Gu! ”

Gu Jiao bowed slightly.

Princess Rui looked around, stepped forward and took Gu Jiao's hand: "Is it convenient to go to your yard to sit?" ”

"Okay." Gu Jiao said to Doctor Song, "I'll leave it to you here." ”

"Huh." Doctor Song responded and bowed his hand to Princess Rui.

The patient here doesn't know who the other person is, but he does.

Princess Rui didn't notice him much, and went to the courtyard with Gu Jiao.

The two sat down.

Gu Jiao poured her a cup of tea.

Princess Rui didn't drink, but said, "I'm sorry, I haven't come to you for so long." It was also when I came back from the palace that day that I found out I was pregnant. The grandmothers won't let me go out, and they have locked me up for two months! ”

The mothers also follow the meaning of Concubine Yu, and the fetus must wait for three months before it can be declared to the outside world and go out.

"Congratulations." Gu Jiao said.

Princess Rui's face flashed with a touch of shyness: "I have been married to His Royal Highness for a few years, this is the first child, you can help me see how the pulse is." ”

Gu Jiao checked her pulse: "The pulse is very stable. ”

Princess Rui rarely showed an innocent smile: "The imperial doctor also said so, but I don't worry about what the imperial doctor said, I am relieved of what you said!" ”

Thinking of something, she said again, "By the way, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time, and if you hadn't asked me to prepare in advance, I wouldn't have been able to save those who fell into the lake." ”

Gu Jiao said: "I'm just telling you, if you believe it, they will be saved." The credit is yours, don't thank me. ”

Princess Rui opened her mouth: "Ah......"

How did she accept this?

Gu Jiao asked calmly, "You came today just to diagnose the pulse and thank me?" ”

Princess Rui smiled: "Actually, there are other things, I want to ask you to go to the doctor." I know I'm too abrupt, I should have told you earlier, but I also entered the palace today to greet His Majesty and the Queen, and I accidentally got the news, and I don't feel at ease when others go to see me......"

Gu Jiao is like this, she eats soft but not hard.

If Princess Rui used her power to suppress her, she would have refused in the morning, but Princess Rui looked at her with a pair of fawn-like eyes, she sighed and agreed.

"You're the best!" Princess Rui took Gu Jiao into her carriage.

Gu Jiao's visit was to a concubine of the dynasty, who did not live in the imperial palace, but in a nunnery near Puji Temple.

and cross that river.

The rope bridge has been rebuilt, and the only thing that may have been horse-drawn carriages was the stone arch bridge.

The carriage stopped outside the hermitage.

The two got out of the carriage.

Princess Rui asked the female official to wait outside, and she took Gu Jiao into the nunnery.

This nunnery is not big, and there are not many teachers, and they have seen two of them in total.

"Is the concubine there?" Princess Rui asked.

"Yes, princess, please." A little master took Princess Rui and Gu Jiao to a meditation room in the backyard.

A muffled cough was heard in the meditation room.

Princess Rui's heart tightened, and she walked over with her skirt: "Concubine Niangniang!" Are you okay? ”

In front of the bed, an old lady saluted Princess Rui: "Princess." ”

Princess Rui sat down on the edge of the bed and held the coughing man's thin hand: "Why are you so sick?" ”

"Ahem...... What are you here to do? I'm out of the way...... It's a problem...... Ahem...... "She coughed heavily.

Gu Jiao walked in with a small basket on her back.

Her gaze fell on the other party, an old lady with hair and cultivation, about the same age as her aunt, and her elegant face vaguely showed the beauty of her youth.

"This is ......," the other party looked at Gu Jiao.

"Concubine Niangniang, this is my friend, her surname is Gu, and her medical skills are very powerful! She's here to heal you! Princess Rui said, looking at Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu, this is Concubine Jing." ”

Gu Jiao shook her head.

She doesn't have the habit of bending over and kneeling.

Concubine Jing is a monk, but she doesn't care about this, she hid her face and coughed twice, and said to Gu Jiao: "Since you are Qianqian's friend, don't be restrained, I'm not a concubine anymore, you can just call me Mrs. Jing'an." ”

Gu Jiao took Concubine Jing's pulse and checked her body: "Did Mrs. Shi also have asthma before?" ”

A young girl who was so young was diagnosed with asthma at once, and Concubine Jing was quite surprised, but in the end, she was a person of this age, and she would not be surprised.

She said: "There have been old problems before, and the spring is the worst." ”

"Can it be cured?" Princess Rui looked at Gu Jiao.

"It's hard to cure, but it's manageable." Gu Jiao opened the small medicine box, took asthma medicine and asthma spray to Concubine Jing, and explained how to use it, as well as some taboos in life.

Concubine Jing thanked Gu Jiao.

Princess Rui talked to Concubine Jing for a while, and did not leave reluctantly until Concubine Jing was sleepy.

After getting into the carriage back, Princess Rui sighed: "The concubine is so pitiful, what's more?" ”

Concubine Jing is admired by the emperor, and the emperor's biological mother was born in a slight cold, just a little palace maid, and she is not qualified to raise the prince. As soon as the emperor was born, he was succeeded to the name of Concubine Jing.

At that time, Concubine Jing was only a concubine, and a few years later, she gave birth to a little princess and became Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing is a gentle and generous woman, she is never jealous in the harem, and she is not seen making waves.

Xu is her kind of non-fighting and non-grabbing temperament, which was favored by the Empress Dowager Zhuang, who gave up so many princes and set up her adopted son as the emperor.

However, she also made sacrifices.

Since the emperor has passed to her name, that is her son, and the emperor has ascended the throne as emperor, and she should also be named the queen mother.

But how could the Empress Dowager Zhuang allow a second Empress Dowager to appear in the palace?

Therefore, Concubine Jing missed the first emperor and was willing to bring the practice of chanting scriptures for the first emperor every day.

"However, there is another way of saying it." Princess Rui didn't treat Gu Jiao as an outsider, she didn't have her own little sister, Gu Jiao was the first, she unilaterally identified.

She said: "Concubine Jing has a sweetheart, she is not uncommon to be the queen mother, she invited herself to become a monk. ”

She didn't even say this to her sister Du Xiaoyun.

Of course, the main reason is that Du Xiaoyun is a big mouth, and she is a big mouth that is brainless and biased towards the crown princess.

------Off topic------

Could her sweetheart be-

Well, I don't say.
