Chapter 19: Affection for Grandparents

Wanshou Palace occupies most of the palace of the West Palace, enter the Wanshou Palace, the small bridge and flowing water in the garden on the left, the rockery stone forest, are planted with strange flowers and flowers, and attract the fragrance of birds and flowers.

There is a big artificial lake on the right, the lake water is clear and calm, there are pavilions and water pavilions in the lake, and the curved bridge is carved and the fence is made of jade.

The central passage is a very long hand-copying verandah, the verandah is the pillar of golden silk nanmu, the verandah depicts the dragon and the phoenix, all kinds of opera sketch characters, exquisite and luxurious.

Above the verandah, wisteria vines coiled, and dreamlike purple flowers swayed in the wind, like purple waves tumbling, charming.

The old ancestor walks on the long verandah on weekdays, and which character story he likes, the palace people will tell the old ancestor to relieve his boredom.

When you are tired, it is convenient to rest on the long verandah.

Stroll through the verandah, you can enjoy the blue water of the lake on the right, and the pavilions and pavilions.

You can also enjoy the small bridge on the left, the rockery stone forest, the strange flowers, the birds and the flowers.

Passing through the long verandah, in front of it is the majestic style, the Yuyu Qiong Building, the main hall of the Wanshou Palace with carved beams and paintings.

Gu Tingcheng followed Lu Zuo Zhaoyi to the main hall of Wanshou Palace.

Gu Qingcheng stood at the gate of the palace from afar, and saw the old ancestor.

It was an old lady with silver hair, hairpins in a bun and gold ornaments, holding a dragon head and a cane, graceful and luxurious, with crane hair and a childish face.

When Gu Qingcheng saw the old ancestor, a warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

That inexplicable warmth moistens the heart.

Like long-lost happiness.

At this moment, Empress Helian, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow brocade robe, was sitting on both sides with seven or eight concubines wearing high buns, buns or fallen horse buns, and beaded brocade clothes, and they were also waiting in front of the ancestral hall.

The old ancestor was knocking out the medicine that the imperial doctor had given her and splashing it on the ground.

The palace people were busy.

"You quacks, all day long, drink these bitter medicines to the mourners.

Even if the mourning family did not die of illness, they were also drunk with these bitter soups by you, and they lost their appetite and starved to death in vain! ”

Although the old ancestor was weak to speak and beat the dragon's head on crutches, he had a majesty of his own.

"Weichen is afraid, but the ancestor, for the sake of the ancestor's phoenix body and health, the ancestor still has to take medicine on time." Imperial Physician Li knelt in front of the old ancestor.

"The mourning family is not sick! It's the medicine that is poisonous, and the disease of the mourning family is that after taking your medicine, the disease comes out. ”

The ancestor is like a rejuvenated child.

"Old Ancestor, which one is it today, it makes the old ancestor unhappy." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi spoke softly and walked towards the ancestor with a smile.

“…… Lu girl, you're here. The old ancestor's eyes seemed to focus for a while, looking at the person in front of him who was slowly walking towards him, and his anger decreased slightly.

When Lu Zuo Zhaoyi approached her, the old ancestor pouted again:

"Tell them quickly, these bitter medicines are unspeakably bitter, and they mourn their families...... I will never drink it again! ”

"Okay, let's let Imperial Doctor Li take the medicine and withdraw first." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi is like coaxing a child.

and waved his hand to signal Imperial Doctor Li to step back first.

Come to think of it, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi is usually an eight-sided and exquisite figure in the palace.

Gu Qingcheng silently looked at Lu Zuo Zhaoyi and thought.

Gu Qingcheng stood at the gate of the palace, without a summons, and did not dare to come forward.

She saw Imperial Doctor Li walking out with a tray with a sad face.

As she passed by, she sniffed the medicine bowl in Imperial Doctor Li's tray, and with the little decoction left, she knew what medicine it was.

She muttered to herself: "Ginseng, fried Poria cocos with bran, yam, fried white lentils, lotus seeds, fried coix seeds with bran, sand seeds, bellflower, licorice." ”

Imperial Doctor Li next to him listened to Gu Qingcheng's words and looked surprised.

But he was afraid of arguing with the nobles in the hall, so he lowered his voice and said, "Little girl, do you know medical skills?" ”

"I have been practicing medicine with my master since I was a child, and I know a little bit. This is a prescription for treating spleen deficiency and lack of food, loose stools. ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at the old ancestor's face from a distance, and he did seem to have a spleen deficiency.

"Yes, yes, I can't see that you, a little girl, can still know that it is and medicine just by this decoction."

Imperial Doctor Li was stunned and appreciative, but then he became embarrassed again, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"But the ancestor just refused to take the medicine, because the medicine was too bitter. If you don't take medicine, even if Lao Chen is Hua Tuo alive, it won't help. ”

"Imperial Doctor Li, Allure can make the ancestor drink this medicine, is Imperial Doctor Li willing to give it a try?" Gu Qingcheng was calm and calm, and smiled slightly.

Imperial Doctor Li listened to Gu Chengcheng's words, although she was happy, but she was a little girl, what way could she make her ancestor take medicine.

"Can it really be done?" Imperial Doctor Li's face was not without suspicion.

"Well," Gu Tingcheng nodded and smiled, "As long as you can make the old ancestor drink the medicine, the imperial doctor still wants to try it, right?" ”

When Imperial Doctor Li saw that Gu Tingcheng could come to Wanshou Palace, he should also be a person with status.

He really didn't have a clue, so he had to reluctantly nod.

The decoction of the ancestors was not boiled in the imperial pharmacy, but directly boiled by the imperial doctor Li and his assistants in the Wanshou Palace, so that the ancestors could drink it anytime and anywhere.

Gu Tingcheng retreated to the dining room of Wanshou Palace with Imperial Doctor Li, and the dining room had already been tormented by the backup decoction in case the old ancestor beat it.

Thinking about this old ancestor, he still often makes children angry.

Gu Tingcheng added honey to the medicine they had decocted in advance, and then added yam powder, poria powder, and lotus root powder respectively to make several mille-feuille cakes with different colors and flavors.

After a while, Gu Tingcheng and Imperial Doctor Li came back again.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi glanced at Gu Qingcheng fiercely, and was annoyed where she had gone.

Imperial Doctor Li handed the mille-feuille cake to the ancestor's personal maidservant, Mama Rong, and motioned to Mama Rong to let the ancestor eat it.

The old ancestor made trouble for so long, and talked to the concubines again, and he was also hungry at this time.

Looking at the attractive color of the mille-feuille cake, I first tasted a small bite, the taste was actually novel, there was a faint fragrance of poria, and the fragrance of lotus root, and finally I ate a whole piece of mille-feuille cake.

The old ancestor who had eaten mille-feuille cake looked at Imperial Doctor Li who was standing on the side and waiting, and felt that it was really difficult for the imperial doctor to do it if he didn't take medicine.

"Okay, Imperial Doctor Li, the mourning family also knows that it is difficult for you. You bring the medicine, but the mourning family stated in advance that the mourning family only drank a small sip, just a small sip. ”

The ancestor who ate the mille-feuille cake had some strength to speak, and he was like a willful child for drinking medicine, bargaining.

"Ancestor, you don't need to drink any more medicine for the time being, you have already taken the medicine just now." Imperial Doctor Li smiled.

“…… Mourning family eaten? The ancestor was stunned.

Imperial Doctor Li told the ancestors about the mille-feuille cake medicinal diet made by Gu Tingcheng.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi and Empress Helian and other concubines were surprised to hear this.

"Hehehe...... Tell the girl to come over and let the mourning family take a look. The old ancestor smiled with a smile.

"Allure, why don't you come over and meet the ancestor!" Lu Zuo Zhaoyi shouted to Gu Qingcheng slightly, beckoning her to go in to meet the old ancestor.

When Gu Qingcheng passed by her, she gritted her teeth and hummed in a low voice: "Be careful with your words and deeds, don't embarrass this palace!" ”

In front of the old ancestor and Gu Qingcheng, she was completely two-faced.

Gu Tingcheng stepped forward quickly, knelt in front of the old ancestor and saluted: "Courtier Gu Tingcheng, I have seen the old ancestor, and the old ancestor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

He knelt down to Queen Helian and the concubines: "The queen is safe, and you are all safe." ”

"I heard that you little doll can see a doctor and understand medical science?" The old ancestor looked at the little girl who was crawling on the ground, and he couldn't believe it.

"I've been consulting with my master since I was a child, so I know a little bit." Gu Qingcheng is humble and courteous.

"Ancestor, this little girl can smell what kind of medicinal herb it is from the medicine bowl that was broken just now, and the only little medicinal soup left.

Moreover, each herb is said accurately, and he also knows what diseases can be treated, so he should be a person who understands medicine. ”

Imperial Doctor Li was grateful to Gu Tingcheng for helping him let the old ancestor drink the medicine, so he praised the old ancestor in front of him.

The more the ancestor listened, the more he liked it, "Lu girl, whose doll is this?" ”

Queen Helian and the concubines also looked at Gu Qingcheng curiously.

One of the noble and dignified concubines stared at Gu Qingcheng even more, frowning lightly, and looking a little surprised.

"Old ancestor, this is Gu Zhongnian's daughter in Shang Shulang, that is, Gu Qingcheng who beat Xiao and Yu Er to set a baby." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi said as he glanced at Gu Qingcheng sharply.

I couldn't help but secretly hate in my heart:

If it weren't for the handle in the hands of this little slut, how could he bring this rural village girl to the front of people, and introduce him as his son's baby parent.

It's a shame!

The blockage in my heart, that depression, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

In her life, she had never tried such a!

"Jun'er's child's doll daughter-in-law?" The old ancestor beckoned to Gu Qingcheng, "Little baby, you get up, come over and let the old ancestor take a look." ”

Gu Qingcheng got up and took a few steps forward, getting closer to the old ancestor.

The old ancestor patted his legs lightly, shook his head slightly, and said, "Come, come, come forward, come here from the old ancestor." Far away, the ancestors were dizzy, afraid that they couldn't see clearly. ”

Gu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, but walked forward further, almost next to the knees of the old ancestor.

Bending down slightly, he was on par with the ancestor who sat on the phoenix chair.

The old ancestor looked at Gu Qingcheng in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

His eyebrows frowned, and his hands began to tremble.

After a while, I felt that it was a little impossible.

Then he stretched out his hand and picked up Gu Qingcheng's jaw, turned up and down, left and right, looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction.

"He's a neat kid and he's smart." The old ancestor had a loving face, and said in a slow voice: "That kid will hurt people, and he will definitely hurt you as a princess in the future." ”

“…… Jun'er? Gu Qingcheng looked at the old ancestor in astonishment.

"Yes, your future man, Tuoba. Kid, what's your name—"

The old ancestor seemed to have forgotten what Gu Qingcheng was called.

"Courtiers Gu Qingcheng." Gu Qingcheng smiled, revealing his fine waxy teeth, as pure as a wisp of breeze.

"Little Allure City," the old ancestor was happy, the smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, and said: "Look, what a good child, and our son, it is a natural pair." ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee It is Tuoba Yu, the king of Nan'an, not Tuoba Yu, the king of Gaoyang. ”

The concubines and palace people also covered their mouths and smiled.

"What Tuoba Yu Tuoba Jun, you are all confused, aren't you the great-grandson daughter-in-law of the mourning family?" The old ancestor snorted at Lu Zuo Zhaoyi in a low voice.

Everyone in the hall laughed and laughed.

All the concubines and concubines are smiling and accompanying the ancestors, and everyone is just happy with the ancestors.

The old ancestor took Gu Qingcheng's hand again, pulled her to sit on his wide phoenix chair, and patted her hand affectionately.

"Xiao Chengcheng, you will often come to accompany your ancestors in the future, the medicinal food you made is much better than those bitter soups.

Don't you know that the ancestor has been taking medicine for many years, and when he smells the medicine from afar, he has no appetite, even if there are delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of him, he can't eat it. ”

A patient who has had to take medicine for many years, Gu Tingcheng understands their suffering too well.

"The ancestor rest assured, Allure tried his best to make medicinal food for the ancestor.

Maybe the ancestor didn't need to eat the medicinal food for two days, and he was in good spirits. Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

When the ancestor patted her hand, she took the opportunity to check the ancestor's pulse.

The ancestor is indeed a spleen deficiency and a lack of middle qi.

You need to add some tonifying and nourishing qi soup, and the vitality is enough to be strong in the body.

When she saw the kindness of her ancestors for the first time, she loved it very much, and felt very close and happy.

Perhaps, it is because I have lost my grandparents since I was a child, and I don't have their love?

"What a likable, hearty child, and so handsome." The old ancestor bowed his head and said, "Little Allure, the old ancestor looked at you, as if he saw his young self, my old bones, and he became younger." ”

"Ancestor, if you like it, Allure often comes over to walk with you and tell you stories and jokes."

"Really?" The old ancestor smiled again.

Gu Tingcheng nodded lightly.

"On the way to Allure, I saw a lot of opera characters depicted on the corridor of Wanshou Palace.

Over the years, those stories, the ancestors may have been tired of hearing them.

Whenever the city is empty, he will come over to tell some fresh stories and jokes to the ancestors.

It must have made the old ancestor laugh, and as soon as this person was happy, he was scared away from all kinds of diseases. ”

Gu Qingcheng laughed like a cute and delicate big child.

"Okay, well, hey, this is today, the mourning family has a little baby."

The old ancestor was overjoyed, like an old naughty boy.

"I am also very happy to see my ancestor in Allure." This is Gu Qingcheng's true words.

"Let's talk about it, Xiao Chengcheng has to come to accompany the ancestor often, and tell stories and jokes to the ancestor."

"Shall we pull a hook?" Gu Qingcheng stretched out his little thumb to the old ancestor, smiling, very cute.

"Okay, pull the hook, pull the hook." The ancestor happily hooked up with Gu Qingcheng.

The concubines looked at this newly emerging Nan'an Wang doll, and when they saw that she and the ancestor were like each other at first sight, they were so affectionate, and they all laughed far-fetched.

Of course, one of the concubines continued to be surprised and delighted.

"Come to ......" After pulling the hook, the ancestor took a gold medal to Gu Tingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the gold medal in his hand with surprise and joy.

This gold medal is even more expensive than the Royal Forest Army waist card.

"This is the gold medal of the Ancestor Wanshou Palace, you will come to visit the ancestor in the future, enter and exit the palace, with this gold medal, you can enter and exit at any time, and you will not be checked by others."

"Thank you, Ancestor." Gu Qingcheng took it respectfully, thanked the ancestor, and hid the gold medal of Wanshou Palace.
