It's not just Mao'er's thoughts about you, just because you went to catch the Gu worms of the noble people and came back to medicine, I'm afraid that this matter will not be good. ”

Su Jinyao sighed when she heard this, and said, "As long as I can detoxify my grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), I am willing to carry this pot." If Yu Guiren blames her, Su Jinyao is willing to compensate her. ”

"Compensation? What compensation do you get? The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Little girl, you are also a smart person, so you shouldn't be too stubborn when your eyes are bright." You know, it's not about a few bugs, right? ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she had to nod silently. In fact, she understood this truth, but she was afraid of causing trouble to Gu Xuebin when she stayed, so she began to be in a dilemma.

The Empress Dowager said again: "Listen to the words of grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), and leave more (rì) sons, I can't lose you." I also like to gather a few juniors on the side of the palace, which seems to be noisy and vibrant. If you are really idle, go and play with the Xue Qi girl in Ziwei Pavilion, you two grades are similar, you won't feel bored. ”

Su Jinyao said: "I know. Then I'll stay a little longer, wait for my grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi) to fully recover, and then go. This makes me feel more at ease. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Is it here today?" Can I pull out the needle on this (shēn)? ”

Su Jinyao said that it would take a while, so she went to the side to prescribe a prescription for the queen mother, and then said: "This house is for external use, grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi) bathes in medicinal soup every day, the water is not too (rè), just sit in it and not feel cold." Because the herbs in this are very strong, if you use (rè) water, you are afraid that you will burn your skin if you sit for a while. ”

Aunt Ma took the prescription and said that she would leave this matter to her. Su Jinyao began to pull out the needle for the Queen Mother.

When all the silver and gold needles were pulled out and put away, Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief. Then he advised: "Grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), now that the Gu poison is cleared, the remaining poison will be completely removed after taking medicine and medicinal baths." Moreover, this Gu poison has made you a blessing in disguise, and you will never have to worry about being disturbed by Gu worms in the future. ”

"Oh? What does that mean? The queen mother said in surprise: "Could it be that I will be able to avoid all poisons in the future?" ”

Su Jinyao explained: "This means so, but there are no absolutes, so it's better to be careful." But ordinary Gu worms can't hurt grandmother (nǎi) anymore. ”

The Empress Dowager seemed very satisfied, but she also sighed and said, "All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital came to treat me before, but there was no good way. It hurt me for a few months. Now, you've only been here for a few days, and you're chūn, which is really terrifying. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "This is also a complaint against the imperial doctors, it's just that they are not good at treating Gu poison." Besides, the good God Gu King who can be raised in the whole world can be counted in two slaps, and I was lucky enough to get one to give medicine to my grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi). Otherwise, let me raise another one, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"Haha, the little girl has a good heart." The Queen Mother looked at Su Jinyao's eyes full of kindness (ài), and she couldn't see the feeling that she was not her own granddaughter at all.

Su Jinyao also smiled in return and let out a long sigh of relief. I felt in my heart that she had finally cured the dean's mother; Looking at the sky again, Su Jinyao wanted to know, was the dean's mother looking at herself somewhere?

The Empress Dowager's son (shēn) is unharmed for the time being, but she still needs a good rest.

Aunt Ma called a few palace maids to send Su Jinyao back, and she stayed to serve the queen mother to rest.

Su Jinyao followed the palace maid out of Yining Palace, and then remembered to ask her what Ziwei Pavilion was, and who was the Xue Qi that the Queen Mother was talking about.

A leading palace maid said: "You can pass by on the way back to send the girl, Miss Xueqi is the eldest lady of the Gu family." ”

Gu Xueqi? As soon as she said this, Su Jinyao knew that it was the girl who looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was anyway.

Su Jinyao said, "Then you can send me there directly?" Since the Queen Mother has allowed me to befriend her, I want to say hello. ”

The leading palace maid nodded and said, "Miss Liu, you just have to order, and we will lead the way." Aunt Ma has explained that as long as it is within the scope of this Yining Palace, Miss Liu, like the other little masters who live in, can summon us to listen to the errand, and there is no need to report anything to Aunt Ma. "It seems that the Queen Mother is not bad to Su Jinyao, although she wants to keep her, she does not give her any (jìn) orders.

As for Su Jinyao going to see Gu Xueqi, the eldest lady of the Gu family, she wanted to try to fight for Gu Xuebin, hoping that the Gu family could give up neutrality and stand on Gu Xuebin's side.

This Yining Palace is the name of a palace (diàn), but the actual scope is a large area surrounded by several partial (diàn) and several small gardens. Crape Myrtle Pavilion is one of them.

Each of these rooms has its own courtyard, forming a small independent space. It was surrounded by a low wall, or a hedge, or a shrub and rose.

The crape myrtle pavilion is surrounded by a circle of flower walls full of crape myrtle flowers, and the door is a bamboo door, and the wall and door are less than one person high, so you can see the situation inside clearly when you pass through here.

When she walked by before, Su Jinyao saw the girl in pink sitting on the stone bench in the small garden, and when she came back, she was still sitting there. It's just that the sitting posture has changed slightly, holding a book in his hand, but it looks thoughtful.

The palace maid who led the way took Su Jinyao to the door, and she deliberately stepped forward to call the door, Su Jinyao pulled her and shook her head lightly to signal not to disturb.

Su Jinyao stood at the door for a while before she stepped forward and gently shook a small copper bell hanging outside the bamboo door. The reason why she didn't let others call the door and went to ring the bell herself was to show sincerity and politeness.

The sound of the bell was crisp and pleasant, which brought the girl back to her senses, and when she looked up, she saw Su Jinyao standing outside the door, so she smiled at her and said, "You're here." ”

This tone is not 客 (tào), it sounds as if she is greeting a friend, and it seems that she knows that Su Jinyao will come?

Su Jinyao nodded and smiled, and greeted: "Hello Gu girl, my name is Su Jinyao, and I am a little girl from the countryside." Recommended by the Empress Dowager, let me talk to the ancient girl and relieve your boredom. ”

"Come in, please. I know you're not a simple country girl. "The eldest lady of the ancient family speaks softly and gently, and also (tǐng) politely. But there is a familiarity in the politeness, which makes people feel natural and friendly.

Su Jinyao felt that this eldest lady of the ancient family was either a lady with a good temper and a good bing; Either she has read too much of the three and four virtues, and she has been suppressed into a woman who has no temper and abides by etiquette.

If it was the former, Su Jinyao was really willing to make friends with it. For such a person is courteous, intelligent, and generous and decent.

But if it's the latter, Su Jinyao will have to grieve for her. A young girl in the flower season is suppressed by the sky (xìng) and loses herself, so it is unlikely that there will be any great development.

While the eldest lady of the Gu family was talking, a palace maid who accompanied her came to open the door for Su Jinyao. The attitude is also polite and polite.

Su Jinyao said to the palace maids who followed (shēn): "Can I sit here for a while?" If you have something to do, go and get busy, I know the way back. If it's inconvenient to leave, you have to watch me go back, so please stay a little longer. ”

The leading palace maid blessed the blessing (shēn) and said, "Miss Liu is free to do so, if you need to serve, we will stay." If you want to wander around, I'll call your girl Xiluo'er to come and serve. It's not that I'm holding the girl, I'm afraid that you don't know the scope of Yining Palace for a while, and it's not good to go out. ”

The meaning of this is nothing more than to remind Su Jinyao that she can move freely within the scope of Yining Palace, but she must not break out casually.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Then please call Xi Shen'er over." She can show me the way. ”

Gu Xueqi also said after hearing this: "It's okay, if Miss Liu wants to go back, I'll ask someone to send her." ”

The leading palace maid hurriedly thanked Gu Xueqi and left with several other palace maids. Before leaving, he also said that he must find Xi Shen'er to serve Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if she comes or not, if she goes out with the fourth prince, can you find it back?" ”

The fourth prince was arranged by the queen mother to live in this Yining Palace, and I heard that the reason was to facilitate the queen mother's control, so that he could study well every (rì). But in fact, it is most likely that in order to contain Yu Guiren, one of Yu Guiren's sons is pinched in the palm of his hand, and he is not afraid that she will attack the Queen Mother.

Of course, the Yu Guiren used Gu poison on the Empress Dowager's (shēn) this time, and it cannot be said that it may be because the four princes were detained here by the Empress Dowager.

Anyway, as soon as this palace fight drama begins, who cares what bone (ròu) pro (qíng)? It's just a bargaining chip used to blackmail others and protect yourself.

However, after Su Jinyao came with Xi Zhu'er, the four princes were very happy, and they couldn't wait to take Xi Zhu'er to wander around every day. It is estimated that what Su Jinyao said is right, it is really difficult to find Xi Shen'er with a palace maid.

After calling away those palace maids, Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi were left. Gu Xueqi's several attendant palace maids did not approach, they should have known that Gu Xueqi was happy and quiet, and they all retreated to the side a little farther away to listen to the errand.

Gu Xueqi beckoned to Su Jinyao and said, "Miss Liu, sit here, I have the freshly made dim sum here." ”

"Okay, then bother. I was stuffy in Qinglian Pavilion for the whole time, and I was also bored. Walking here today, I really can't help but come to bother, it's rare that the ancient girl doesn't dislike it, so I'm not welcome. ”

As she spoke, Su Jinyao walked to the stone table where Gu Xueqi was sitting and sat opposite Gu Xueqi.

At the same time, Su Jinyao also found that from the time she called the door at the door to the time she sat opposite Gu Xueqi, Gu Xueqi stood in place and did not move even a single step.

Su Jinyao secretly wondered, Gu Xueqi is not an arrogant person, why doesn't she move around to welcome guests? Is there something wrong with her feet?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao unconsciously looked at Gu Xueqi's legs. This is not because Su Jinyao is rude, but because of her duty as a healer. Since I guessed that the other party might have a disability, I wanted to see what was wrong with it and whether it could be cured.

Gu Xueqi Bingxue was smart, and when she saw Su Jinyao looking at her legs, she smiled and said, "It's really rude to greet each other just now, but you can't come forward to greet her." Just because Xue Qi had a serious illness when she was a child, she injured the tendons and veins in her legs after acupuncture, so that after the illness was cured, it was always not conducive to walking. Seeing that it is about to be the rainy season again, there is some pain in the attack of the leg disease, so please Miss Liu do not blame. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly said, "It's because I'm rude." I just want to see if I can heal the ancient girl, and there is no abruptness. ”

Although Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi only spoke a few words, it can be seen from her speech and demeanor that Gu Xueqi is the kind of person who is born full of affinity. Su Jinyao felt that Gu Xueqi should be a generous girl who never played with people (xìng) and would not care about anything with others, and her heart and eyes must be good. But such a good girl doesn't have a good pair of legs, and I'm really sorry for her.

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, Gu Xueqi was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Liu said that you are a doctor?" ”

"Ah, doesn't the ancient girl know?" Su Jinyao was strange.

When she was at the door just now, she introduced herself as a country girl, and Gu Xueqi said that she must be a country girl who is not simple. Su Jinyao thought that Gu Xueqi also knew that she was here to treat the Queen Mother.

But now it sounds like Gu Xueqi doesn't know that she knows how to heal, so what does Gu Xueqi mean by what she said? How does it sound like Gu Xueqi knows that she is a very famous person in a small mountain village in the countryside?

Su Jinyao asked directly: "This is strange, the ancient girl said that I am not a simple country girl, but there is something that I don't know how to heal (qíng), so what is the ancient girl referring to?" ”

Gu Xueqi smiled and asked rhetorically, "Then Miss Liu, did you remember where we met?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "I really can't remember." To be honest, when I walked through this Ziwei Pavilion just now, I felt familiar when I saw the ancient girl, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it anyway. A woman like the girl must be unforgettable at first sight, but I really don't have any impression at all. Please also ask the ancient girl to prompt. ”

Gu Xueqi picked up the book on the table and said, "When I saw you before, I also felt the same as you, I saw it, but I couldn't remember it." So I just sat here and thought about it, and I found it. ”

Think? What does it have to do with finding it? Su Jinyao looked at the book in Gu Xueqi's hand suspiciously, but it was just an ordinary poetry book, and it was not printed by Su Jinyao, where did Gu Xueqi see her?

Seeing that Su Jinyao was still confused, Gu Xueqi handed the book in her hand to Su Jinyao and said, "You open the book and take a look, and you will understand." ”

Su Jinyao took the book with a puzzled face and flipped through it casually. She didn't know what Gu Xueqi asked her to read, and she didn't know what prompts would be in the book.

But when Su Jinyao was almost halfway through the page, something in the page suddenly fell out.

Su Jinyao was stunned, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and said apologies in her mouth. It was only when she picked up the thing that fell on the ground that she suddenly understood where she had met Gu Xueqi.

I saw that what fell out of the book were a few withered yellow blades of grass. But the blades of grass are not ordinary leaves, but are braided into the shape of a small grasshopper.

But probably because of the age, the grass leaves have become crispy after they have withered and yellowed, so there is only the shape of a small grasshopper, but it has been broken in a few places.

And Su Jinyao recognized it at a glance, this grasshopper was made by herself. At the beginning, there were not many people who gave away the little grasshoppers she made, and as for the girl's family, there was only one girl, that is, the beautiful woman who gave her the name "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" to her small water shop, and the two daughters she carried.

Looking up now, Gu Xueqi is not the older sister of the two sisters.

However, Gu Xueqi was fourteen or five years old at the time, and now she should be seventeen or eighteen, a little less childish, more quiet and soft, and her posture is more exquisite.

It's just that Su Jinyao saw that Gu Xueqi should have a disabled leg and was inconvenient to walk, but now that she thinks about it, she should be seriously ill, so standing is not a problem, but walking may have an impact.

"Do you remember?" Gu Xueqi smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be so destined for you." When I saw you and your brother selling water on that official road, I felt that you two sisters and brothers were hard and ambitious, and you were not flattering to others, but everywhere you were polite, humble and polite, so that my mother praised me frequently along the way, and I have more and more memories of you. It's just that after a long time, you look very different from back then, you can be described as slim and beautiful, so I didn't recognize it for a while. ”

Su Jinyao looked at the little grasshopper in her hand again, and her heart was really indescribably aftertaste and warmth.

You know, this kind of grass that can be picked everywhere is thin and brittle when it dries up, and it is extremely difficult to preserve. And Gu Xueqi has not only been preserved for so many years, but also preserved so completely, but it is slightly damaged, which shows that she really has a heart.

In this way, this is not just a fate, but also Gu Xueqi's intentions and her kindness.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao put (xiōng) 脯一 (tǐng) and said, "Since there is fate, I will continue this fate." Didn't you have a leg attack? I'll show you. ”

"Do you really know how to see a doctor?" Gu Xueqi asked with a smile, but there was no tone of doubt, it was completely a joke tone.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Then how do you think I came to this palace?" I think I'm a grass farmer, a small peasant girl in the countryside, how can I have a relationship with you, the eldest lady of the ancient family? ”

"Cut, is it just to show off your skills?" Gu Xueqi was no longer restrained, and said another joke with Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's nature."
