Chapter 13: The Blind Old Taoist
It wasn't until the first rays of the morning sun broke through the clouds that Gu Jiu felt that he had escaped a little from the nightmare.
She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, only to find that the pillow was wet.
The clothes were wet and dry, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to her body, so she pulled the bell in front of the bed and told the maids to prepare hot water for bathing.
It wasn't until she had sunk her whole body into the tub that she felt a little clearer in her chaotic mind.
The nightmare has not gone away, but the rising sun has risen.
Those past lives are already in the past life, nothing has happened in this life, and she can prevent this from happening!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu exhaled a breath of turbidity, and fiercely suppressed those thoughts that broke the ground because of Qin Zheng's performance yesterday, and secretly warned himself to stay away from Qin Zheng and save his life!
In the maid who waited for her to dress up in the morning, there was no Angelica Angelica and peach branches.
She was originally a second-class maid beside her mother Liu, and she was calm and proper.
Because of Bai Zhi's incident, when she came back yesterday, Liu had already beaten her, and now although she came to serve the young lady in the Guogong Mansion, she acted a little more cautiously.
Gu Jiu was very satisfied with her style, and after she had finished dressing up, she smiled and said, "Since you follow me, as long as you do things in peace in the future, you will definitely not be treated badly." The maids in my room are all from a white character, your name was originally a flower name, then change to a peony character, and then call it white peony, the same treatment as Baizhu, and the same as the first-class maid in my room. ”
When she was in the Gu family before, Taozhi was only a second-class maid, although she was in the main mother's room, she was not a confidant in the end. And now that she has followed Gu Jiu, as long as she abides by her duties and knows the rules, this kind of maid has jumped a level compared to before.
Taozhi was naturally happy in his heart, but he also knew restraint, so he knelt down and saluted immediately, and said respectfully: "Miss Bai Shaoxie's name." ”
Gu Jiu nodded, and asked Baizhu to take her to get a new example, while he left Mama Zhao and instructed: "Mama has spent some time in the past two days to screen the maids and women in our yard, but if you don't see it properly, you should be assigned to the outer courtyard." Ask Ya Po to come over again, and find a few capable maids and women to put in the inner courtyard. As for the little guy...... Didn't my mother arrange someone when she got married, and where is she placed now? ”
Although Mama Zhao felt that it was too early for her girl to rectify now, she still replied: "Miss Hui, at that time, Mrs. was afraid that there would be many people in the Guogong Mansion who would dislike us and leave them in the other courtyard, and the old slave will arrange for them to come back in the next two days." ”
When Mama Zhao said this, she muttered again: "It's just that let's change blood like this, I'm afraid it's not very good-looking, and it won't be appropriate if the prince has a dislike for you because of this." ”
There are no merchants in the Guogong Mansion, and the little maids who come in and out are all registered, and now that Gu Jiu is so tidy, isn't it clear that she doesn't need the people in the Guogong Mansion to match her.
Hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled and said softly: "Mama don't worry, I have my own plans on the Shizi's side, as for others-the current head of the family is a concubine, and with this reason, I fell out with her, wouldn't it be more in line with the meaning of the Shiziye?" ”
When she said this, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "Besides, even if it is not for these reasons, for our own sake, we have to arrange all the candidates in the hospital." There are many people in the Ming Mansion, if even our own yard is not clean, how can we live with peace of mind in the future? ”
As soon as she said this, Mama Zhao also understood, and said with a smile: "What Miss said is that since this is the case, the old slave will do it." ”
When Mama Zhao went, Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, there were some things she didn't say, and if she did this, she would inevitably have a stalemate with the house. But she didn't plan to live with Heshunshun, so what if she got into a fight? It's also a snake for her to be empty and wronged!
On the Gu family's side, she was afraid that her family would be worried, so she tried her best to hide it. But the Mingguo Mansion is different, if she is still as soft as the persimmon in her previous life, and let them look into her room, then this year's life will not be over?
Anyway, as soon as the one-year period comes, she will be able to reconcile with Qin Zheng, as long as Qin Zheng and her well water do not interfere with the river water within this year, she is really not afraid of other people!
Mama Zhao is a safe person, and after explaining these things properly, Gu Jiu changed her clothes and went out.
Last night, she sorted out the memories of her previous life, sorted out a few clues, and followed the memory to find the Sun Divine Doctor.
She remembered that the storyteller was talking about the history of Dr. Sun's career at that time, and he once mentioned that the Tao was that he was downtrodden when he first came to Beijing, but he was arrogant, and he would rather be poor than bend his waist to serve the powerful, and he only lived in the Sanqi Hutong in the town and dealt with the poor.
Gu Jiu of Sanqi Hutong knew that it was an alley in the south of the city.
Most of the people living in the south of the city are poor, and this Sanqi Hutong is a slum among the poor.
Because he was prepared when he came, Gu Jiu abandoned the carriage after crossing Suzaku Street and walked on foot.
It's just that she didn't expect that although the south of the city is dilapidated, it is not as decay as she imagined, but it is full of the breath of life.
The small vendors everywhere shouted loudly, and the small stalls were full of dazzling knick-knacks, and the air was filled with the smell of food, and the various flavors were mixed together, like a picture scroll.
Gu Jiu has never seen such a scene in her previous life and this life, she has been pampered by the Gu family since she was a child, and her travel is a prosperous place, and later married into the Ming State Mansion, the rules of the house are strict, she abides by her duties, and even goes out less, where has she ever been to such a place?
So now when I see it, I feel like an eye-opener.
But she is not the little girl in her previous life, even if she looks interesting, she just pauses, and follows the landmark along the street, towards Sanqi Hutong.
When I reached the end of the street, I was stopped by a thin bamboo pole.
The bamboo pole was black and couldn't see its true color, and the hands holding the bamboo pole were full of cracks, and there was mud hidden in the nails, which looked particularly sloppy.
Gu Jiu looked down and saw an old Taoist priest in tattered clothes sitting on the side of the road, with a table in front of him, covered with dirty cloth, on which were written a few big characters "Feng Shui, word measurement, bone touching, fortune telling", and some small paper bags were thrown at random on the side, and the words on it were even more bizarre......
The old Taoist priest leaned crookedly on the back of the chair, his eyes were blank, his eyes were rolling, and he knew that he was blind at a glance. It's also embarrassing for him, with such an appearance, the bamboo pole in his hand can still accurately block his way.
Given that this was a blind old Taoist priest, Gu Jiu didn't get angry immediately, but just politely took a step back and asked, "I don't know what you're doing?" ”
Hearing her voice, the old Taoist priest sat up straight in an instant, and in his eyes, Gu Jiu actually saw a little light, and then heard him say sincerely: "Girl, when you pass by, the old man feels that you and I are destined today, and I will calculate a hexagram for you for free, how about it?" ”
It's a pity that what he said was sincere, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was thinking about how to pit the fat sheep, and even the blind eyes seemed to be staring directly at her purse.
Gu Jiu was helpless for a while, she had never met this kind of person in her previous life and this life, and now she was in a hurry to find someone, so she simply said: "Thank you, sir, but I don't count my fate, so I will leave first." ”
As soon as she was about to leave, the bamboo pole continued to stop in front of her, and the old Taoist's voice was a little higher: "Don't tell your fate, anything else is fine, girl, you say, as long as you can say it, the old man will be!" ”
It was the first time Gu Jiu had encountered this kind of person, but he didn't know what to do, but after hearing his last sentence, he thought about it and said, "I really have a problem, but it's not a fortune telling, but I want to find someone, you can help me find it?" ”
This person looks like a liar, but a blind old man, who must not live far away, should be a little eyebrow when he asks him about the Sun Divine Doctor, right?
She thought so, and saw the Taoist priest poke the bamboo pole to the ground, stretched out his hand and compared two fingers, and pretended to be profound: "Then you can ask the right person, whether you are looking for a lover or a relative, the old man only needs to pinch his hand, and it can be counted clearly." It's not expensive, two dollars of silver. ”
This is really a mixture, Gu Jiu sighed, a little doubtful about the reliability of the person in front of him, but still said according to his memory: "A man surnamed Sun, about forty or fifty years old, is a doctor, do you know?" ”
