Chapter 68: The Hanging Ginseng (Part 2)
Mrs. Anping Bo was lying on the couch, there was only a little dim light in the dark room, and she looked even more lifeless through the layers of curtains falling on her thin face.
Mrs. An Pingbo accompanied Luo Shi in, looked at the old lady's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Your third uncle and fourth uncle are too bullying, and they come here every day when there are good things in the past, crying and asking the old lady to call the shots for them, but this time they all find reasons and refuse to come." The tone was full of complaints
How can she not be annoyed, since beating the old uncle, the old lady has been sick on the couch for so long, sometimes good and sometimes bad, every day to be greeted, the long room is an unsuccessful, can not be counted on, the three rooms, four rooms and five rooms are all treacherous, if there is a benefit, she will break her head and rush to the old lady to say goodbye, crying and making trouble to divide the family wealth, to this time, but not even a figure is gone.
Luo went forward to greet Luo Ziye, and then looked at the old uncle.
"Yin Niang, you don't know, the old lady has been sick for so long, and the money and silver in the house have been spent finely, and your uncle and I have run out of ways." Mrs. An Pingbo wiped the corners of her dry eyes with a handkerchief, "The medical officer said that it was not very good, and it could only be hung with ginseng." ”
I'm afraid that the last sentence is what matters.
Roche's face sank, and he turned back to speak.
Luo Ziye stretched his face and spoke: "No matter what, we have to drag these days over, why can't we ...... at this time"
Two days later is the birthday of the saint, that is the day of great celebration of the whole world, if the old lady is gone at this juncture, it is a big bad luck, it is said that the palace is responsible, even this funeral is not easy to do, who dares to mourn at this time.
Mrs. An Pingbo frowned: "Your second uncle is now in front of the emperor, if such a thing happens, how can the saint and the queen of heaven let him be on an errand in front of him again, I am afraid that he will lose his errand again." ”
Luo Shi looked away, no longer looked at the old lady who was listening to them numbly, and said in a low voice: "There are still ginseng in Bofu." ”
Mrs. An Pingbo hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, they are all ginseng whiskers of no year, what is the use." ”
She looked back at the old lady, and her voice was a little lower after all: "The high-grade ones with years will cost a lot of money and silver after all, you can see the ...... in our house."
Luo sneered: "With such a big Anping Mansion, you can't even take out the ginseng that hangs your life." ”
Mrs. An Pingbo gave Mrs. Luo a look, and Mrs. Luo said to Mrs. Luo: "Yin Niang, you can think of ideas, those good ginseng is now rich and silver, and there is nowhere to buy it." ”
Looking at Luo Che's annoyed face, her voice was low and crying: "Your brother and I are still living in this mansion, you can't even ignore us." ”
Luo Shi glared at his mother, and the Anpingbo couple who were sitting next to him with a reasonable face, but after all, they couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure, turned around and sat down on the couch.
When she left Anpingbo's Mansion, Luo's face was extremely ugly, and she knew that it would be no good for Anpingbo's Mansion to invite her back, either asking for money or things, they really regarded her as a cash cow.
But she really can't help but send this ginseng, if the old lady really passes, she and Mingyue Mingyu have filial piety, and they can't enter the palace to meet them.
But where can I find such a good hanging ginseng? I'm afraid it's hard to find anything in the pharmacy in Chang'an City, and it's true that there is no place to buy it if you have money.
Unless...... Roche suddenly thought of it, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.
"A-Niang, you let Da Lang go to the General's Mansion tomorrow." Luo and Mrs. Luo said.
Mrs. Luo understood this, Luo Shi agreed to help, and hurriedly agreed: "There is also a head, I will enter the palace in two days to meet me." ”
Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu crossed the covered bridge and went to Dongfu.
Looking at the bustling market under the covered bridge, Gu Mingzhu's mind was a little confused. She couldn't understand Gu Qing, and she had never understood her father from the beginning to the present.
Since she was sensible, she had never seen A-Niang, and she could only hang on the portrait. But her father is rarely seen.
He doesn't seem to like Gu Mingzhu, every year, when she goes to say goodbye, all she sees is him with an indifferent face, rarely talks to her, and doesn't bother to ask about her.
In his memory, the first time he faced her formally and talked to her was for the queen of heaven's intention to marry her to King Xian.
At that time, Gu Qing told her that if she didn't marry into the Xianwang Mansion, he would think of asking for another princess in the palace for her.
At that time, how could she be willing, in order to be able to marry King Xian, she was so cautious, how could she be willing to give up like this. It wasn't until later that I realized that he was for Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingzhu followed behind Gu Qing, looking at the tall and mighty figure in front of her, her heart felt sour, he was Gu Mingyue's father, wasn't he her father?
wanted to give her marriage to Gu Mingyue, but after she married into the Xianwang Mansion, she ignored her, and when Li Yu wanted to abandon her, he refused to speak for her, only thinking about making Gu Mingyu the crown princess.
She is also the daughter of the Gu family, why does her father never think about her!
Gu Qing didn't know Gu Mingzhu's thoughts, he walked to the gilt plaque and stopped, looking at the big characters, he didn't move for a long time.
After a while, he turned his head and said to Gu Mingzhu: "Go in." ”
Mama Han had already been waiting in front of the door with someone, and when she saw Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu coming over, she bowed down: "General, lady." ”
Mama Han's voice trembled slightly, and her heart was extremely sour, since the eldest princess passed away, the general never came to Dongfu except for the death of the eldest princess, and he would come today.
Gu Qing looked at Mama Han and nodded, "Get up." ”
Gu Mingzhu put away all his thoughts and looked at Gu Qing calmly: "Invite my father to the main hall to use tea and soup, and I will order someone to prepare the offerings." ”
She is no longer the ignorant and ignorant girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, and she has long stopped hoping for what she can't get, and she won't be disappointed.
Gu Qing looked at Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu in his impression had never been so quiet and steady, but there was alienation and indifference in such politeness.
After all, he shook his head, and his voice was low: "Let people send them to Luomei Courtyard, and I'll sit there with your aunt." After that, he turned around and left, without looking at Gu Mingzhu again.
Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised, looking at him with a slight flash of eyes, he finally agreed and ordered someone to prepare. ...
