Chapter 17: Old Lady Luo
When the maid came to look for Luo Qing, Gu Huai went back to the house, not for anything else, just because he heard the maid's Beijing accent.
He wasn't afraid that people would know that he was here, but he didn't like to socialize anymore, and it would be troublesome, so he simply hid in the house and was lazy.
Luo Qing didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that he must be in the study, so after sending Cao'er away, he went to find him and accompanied him to read to him.
The two of them had a fairly comfortable afternoon.
Early the next morning, Cao'er came to look for Luo Qing again, saying that she was asking her to go to check the old lady's pulse again to see if she could hurry.
Luo Qing only felt that this old lady was messing around, she was so serious yesterday, and she was not young, but she was urging her to hurry when she was better today.
The old lady was awake when she arrived, and when she saw her, she smiled kindly, and quipped: "I didn't expect that it was a little girl who treated my wife, and now the little girls are so powerful." ”
Luo Qing was still a little uncomfortable being praised by others, and smiled shyly: "The old lady praised it falsely, Luo Qing only understands a little bit about it." ”
The old lady was even happier when she heard this: "It's the family, and my husband's family is also surnamed Luo. ”
Luo Qing only regarded it as a polite remark from the old lady, so she also said a few polite words to her, and then asked her about her physical condition today, and then gave up after asking her pulse.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo Qing had finished treating Mrs. Luo, she couldn't wait to ask, "Little Doctor Luo, can I hurry?" ”
Luo Qing smiled and shook her head: "Old lady, your body still needs to recuperate for a few days, don't be in a hurry, nothing is more important than your own body." ”
She didn't mention that Cao'er told her yesterday that the old lady was going back to the capital, this should be their family matter, Cao'er revealed the whereabouts of the master's family, it shouldn't be, if she took the initiative to mention it, she was afraid that it would make the old lady unhappy, and Cao'er would be punished for nothing.
Luo Qing didn't have parents, and even fewer elders didn't, so when he saw that the old lady was still good-looking, he couldn't help but persuade a few more words.
"You're all sick, you're going to have a good life, and you're blessed, when you should enjoy the joy of family, don't worry, the future will be long."
When the old lady heard this, she became happy, and said to Mother Lin, who was guarding on the side: "This little girl is really powerful, I can't listen to what I say." Then ...... Let's go again in three days. ”
Mother Lin knew that the old lady was coaxed to be happy, and she would not be in a hurry, so she smiled and said, "Little Doctor Luo is benevolent." The old slave then went and instructed the people below to send a letter to the lord. ”
Mrs. Luo waved her hand and let Mother Lin go: "Little Doctor Luo, I see that ordinary croppers can't raise a well-behaved girl like you, with superb medical skills, such a smart person, and an excellent heart, and different conversations, what do parents do at home?" ”
Mrs. Luo had the idea of taking Luo Qing back to be a concubine for her grandson, but Luo Qing had never experienced these things, and she didn't know Mrs. Luo's thoughts, so she replied decently: "Luo Qing is blessed and has no parents, but fortunately, a brother adopted Luo Qing, and Luo Qing learned this." ”
At the mention of this, her eyebrows were full of tenderness, and her tone couldn't help but rise slightly: "My brother is excellent, gentle and elegant, Zhilan Yushu, heroic, and talented." ”
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes: "It seems that Dr. Luo likes this brother very much." ”
Luo Qing felt embarrassed and blushed with shame: "Did I say too much?" "But my brother is the best man in the world to me.
The old lady shook her head slightly: "It can be seen that Little Doctor Luo is a grateful person." I would venture to ask, Doctor Luo's age? ”
Luo Qing didn't say much at this time, and replied in a proper manner: "Fourteen years old." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up: "There are three girls in my family, and the age is not much different from you, but people, you are not smart, unlike you, you can also heal at a young age." ”
Although Luo Qing is young, Gu Huai has taught her a lot, and she understands a little bit of human sophistication, so she immediately said: "The old lady praised it absurdly." The girls in the old lady's family are naturally all excellent, and they are only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, unlike me, who was born in the countryside and can only have some shallow medical skills and know a few words. ”
No, the old lady laughed even more happily, if it weren't for Cao'er suddenly saying that someone was looking for Luo Qing, I was afraid that Luo Qing would not have to get out.
As soon as she came out of the house, Luo Qing saw Gu Huai standing in the courtyard waiting for her, she was very surprised, and she ran to him and grabbed his arm.
"Brother, you rarely go out, why are you waiting for me today?"
Gu Huai reached out and touched her head: "It's been three years, and our Qingqing has grown a lot taller, and it's all up to my chest." ”
The smile on Luo Qing's face faded a little, and today's brother was a little unusual. "Brother, what's wrong?"
Gu Huai didn't hide it: "Let's go, let's go back first, and I'll talk to you when we go back." ”
As he spoke, he took Luo Qing's medicine box.
Luo Qing was worried, said goodbye to Cao'er and went back with Gu Huai, neither of them said anything along the way, until they walked to the bamboo forest Gu Huai opened his mouth: "Qingqing, do you want to meet your biological father?" ”
Luo Qing didn't know the meaning of Gu Huai's words, and said bluntly: "I used to think about it, but now that I have an elder brother, I don't have a big mind, I can see it, I can't ...... Forget it......"
"Don't you feel sorry?" Gu Huai asked.
"Regret? There will be, but ...... You can't find it. Luo Qing took Gu Huai's arm, and the two walked forward slowly.
It didn't take long for the two of them to see the hut in the woods, but there were several people sitting outside the hut, and there was an obvious leading steward, two housekeepers, and two maids, and the clothes of these maids were exactly the same as the clothes of the second-class maids under Mrs. Luo.
Before Luo Qing could speak, she heard Gu Huai say on the side: "What if someone is looking for it?" ”
Luo Qing was stunned: "What do you mean by this, brother?" ”
Before Gu Huai could answer, the steward under the pavilion came over first: "This is Miss Luo Qing, right?" ”
Luo Qing didn't know why: "Are you here to ask about Mrs. Luo's illness?" ”
The steward at the head was surprised: "The old lady is here?" ”
Gu Huai was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth pulled up a wry smile, this is really ......
Luo Qing reacted, it turned out that the steward didn't know, and he told the steward about Mrs. Luo with doubts in his heart.
The steward bowed slightly to Luo Qing: "Thank you, Miss Luo Qing." It's just that...... The little ones are here to find you. ”
Luo Qing felt that the fear that had been haunting her heart since she had just started was getting stronger and stronger.
