Chapter 164: Condolence
It was just after Shangyuan, and Bianliang City was still filled with a prosperous atmosphere, but because of the death of the old lady of the Gu family, a layer of pathos was shrouded in the lintel of the official eunuch's house.
Gu Jiangyuan now still holds the power of 100,000 troops in Shuobei, and he is the first person the courtiers want to tie up.
The last time there was such an endless stream of scenes in front of Marshal Gu's mansion, it was when Gu Jiangyuan's class returned to the court, and the courtiers and officials came to the door to say goodbye.
Sure enough, the blessings and blessings are relied on, the blessings and misfortunes are lurking, and the joys and joys of people are added up in one life, and there is no certainty.
Gu Jing guarded the mourning hall for two days, and finally on the third day, he caught a cold and had a high fever, and was urged by Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian to go back to the room to rest.
Today, Gu Jiangyuan and his wife and Gu Haomian are there.
The porter of the Gu Mansion hurriedly came in to pay respects: "Master, King Shu and King Xian have come down and said that they are coming to mourn the old lady." ”
Gu Jiangyuan sighed when he heard this, and his tone was a little surprised: "Please come in." ”
In the past few days, there have been quite a few people who have come to the mansion to investigate Mrs. Gu, but they are nothing more than those officials in the court, and most of them have a lower official rank than Gu Jiangyuan, and they are in a hurry.
In addition, only Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei from the Prime Minister's Mansion have come once, and it is still a little unreasonable for them to come in person with identities like King Shu and King Xian.
Gu Haomian went to greet him in person.
In the past two days, Gu Jin's mind was in a trance, and the old lady Gu's future affairs were mostly taken care of by him, and the young man now had two more lumps of black green, and he lost his former abundance and handsomeness, and he was left tired.
"Why did the two princes come here in person, Gu someone is panicked, I'm afraid the house will not be well entertained today."
Lu Chengxiu and Lu Guitang did not come together, but the two happened to meet by chance.
The two of them are not wearing fancy clothes today, and they are both wearing plain clothes, which looks thoughtful and appropriate.
Lu Chengxiu nodded at him, and his words were extremely clear: "Naturally, I came to pay tribute to Mrs. Gu, and the young general didn't need to be polite." ”
Gu Haomian nodded, and without saying much, he led people into the mourning hall.
The two of them greeted Gu Jiangyuan hastily, and each of them offered incense.
It was supposed to be a condolence, and it should be over here, but I saw Lu Guitang looking around, and there was a touch of melancholy between his eyebrows.
"People mourn on the Day of Death, Marshal Gu, as the pillar of our dynasty, will rely on the two of you in the future affairs, and you must not worry too much."
Gu Jiangyuan arched his hand, "Naturally." ”
But before he finished listening to Lu Guitang's words, he restrained his expression and tried his best to keep his expression as normal: "Why didn't you see your young lady?" ”
As soon as the words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed.
Not only did the second miss not show up today, but the third miss didn't feel very comfortable getting up this morning.
Which young lady is King Xian asking?
After all, everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Xian has a marriage contract with the third miss of the Gu family, but not long ago, he and the second miss of the Gu family had a lot of trouble in the city.
The subordinates listened with their ears pricked up for a while, and it wasn't until Gu Jiangyuan opened his mouth to answer that they realized that they were too careful to be a subordinate.
I only listened to Gu Jiangyuan and said: "My little daughter is not in good health today, so she rests in the room, does Your Highness have anything else?" ”
This is a wonderful thing, after all, the two young ladies are now in poor health, and they are both resting in their own rooms, in the end, Gu Jiangyuan is a mixed officialdom, and he told the truth in one sentence, and avoided the question of whether the second or third young lady was asked.
Wonderful.
Lu Guitang's eyes froze when he heard this, but there was still a faint smile on his face, but because of today's mournful atmosphere, the lazy color was no longer obvious.
"It's gone."
Lu Guitang put down these words, and did not wait for Lu Chengxiu, and left by himself.
Lu Chengxiu stared at him behind him for a while, and finally revealed the lone pine look on his face.
In the evening window pavilion, Yun Qian and Peihuan went in and out, and the look on their faces was not good-looking.
Gu Jin contracted the wind cold, and it seemed to be quite serious, the high fever has not faded for a day and night, and the person is also groggy and sleepy from time to time.
According to Gu Jin's meaning, now that the house is in mourning, it is inconvenient to seek medical advice, but after a day of hard work, it is still not good, Yun Qian is not in a hurry, and Gu Jin went to invite Wei Yuchuan.
When Wei Yuchuan came, he also brought Chen Xiangsheng over, and now he is checking Gu Jin's pulse in the room.
"Imperial Doctor Chen, how is my young lady?"
When Peihuan asked this, he was already vaguely crying.
Chen Xiangsheng withdrew his hand to check the pulse, but there was no sunny look on his face, Wei Yuchuan vaguely felt bad when he saw this, and asked after Peihuan.
Chen Xiangsheng frowned, got up and sat down at the table to write the prescription, and asked as he wrote, "Miss Gu has been worried too much these days, or has she worked hard?" ”
Yun Qian stared and thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "My young lady has really not rested well these days, a few days ago, the young lady has been busy taking care of the house, and my old lady has passed away, and the young lady has not been able to sleep for two days. ”
Chen Xiangsheng sighed when he heard this, and raised his hand to add two medicinal materials to the prescription that had already been written, and then handed the prescription to Yun Xuan.
"A wind chill is not a big deal, but Miss Gu was too tired a few days ago, and it will take some time to recuperate."
Yun Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but look up at the sleeping person on the bed in the back room, and also asked with a crying voice: "Imperial Doctor Chen, is my young lady very sick." ”
Chen Xiangsheng was about to nod, but suddenly felt that this move was inappropriate, so he spoke again to comfort: "Follow this prescription to take care of the medicine." ”
The two little girls nodded again and again.
Wei Yuchuan turned out of the back room and bowed slightly to Chen Xiangsheng: "There is Imperial Doctor Chen." ”
Today, the Gu Mansion is holding a funeral, and some people will be worried about the auspiciousness and blessings in the first month, and will not come to the door to ask for a doctor.
But Wei Yuchuan was anxious to find Chen Xiangsheng after Yun Qian reported the news, but he came without saying a word, and Wei Yuchuan was also quite grateful in his heart.
Chen Xiangsheng hurriedly replied: "Miss Wei is serious, Miss Gu is a person, Chen is quite admired, and the doctor's consultation is a matter of course, why do you have such words of gratitude." ”
Wei Yuchuan was slightly stunned, and both of them invariably remembered what Gu Jin and Chen Xiangsheng had said in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day:
Taiyi Chen is young and promising, and he is indeed a leader among doctors.
I have to say that Gu Jin, with a pair of discerning eyes, met a hero of the apricot forest.
Yun Qian and Peihuan sent Chen Xiangsheng out of the house, one went to grab medicine, and the other went to the kitchen to make some meals.
In the past two days, the house was busy with the funeral of Mrs. Gu, and the diet was a little too light, so Peihuan took out most of the reward money at the end of the year and bought some supplements for Gu Jin.
Wei Yuchuan got up again and pinched the corner of the quilt for Gu Jin, touching the girl's forehead, and feeling still hot.
She sighed and told Yancao to go out and fetch water.
"Who?"
There was a rustling sound on the roof, which frightened Wei Yuchuan.
