Chapter 35: Revisiting the Old Place

When the carriage arrived at the Gu family's old house in Loucheng, the Gu family was in a mess at this time.

The servants and maids were all panicked and in a trance.

Even those old servants and housekeepers were anxiously circling around the door of Master Gu's room.

Revisiting the old place, Gu Zhiqing inexplicably had a strange mood. I remember that a few months ago, he was expelled from this threshold.

The memory of that day is still deeply imprinted in his thoughts, Gu Zhiqing stroked the vermilion lacquer gate, and then crossed the high threshold and came to the Gu family's compound.

At this time, the servants and maids immediately came up and told Old Madam Gu about the changes in the Gu family over time.

It can be seen that there is no Master Gu in the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu is the backbone.

Old Madam Gu directly ignored those maids and servants, and rushed directly to Old Man Gu's bedroom.

When the door was pushed open, an old man with a gray beard was lying on the bed, unconscious.

At this time, he no longer had the arrogance of expelling himself from the Gu family before, nor did he have the extravagance of the rich family, he was just an ordinary old man.

Looking at him, Gu Zhiqing reminded his old father in his previous life, he was a farmer, he had no culture, and he asked for food from the fields all his life.

Therefore, he was so tired early that his beard turned white, and his age was not even as good as that of the Gu family.

When he came to the bedside, Mrs. Gu tried to wake him up, and kept urging the maid to invite the doctor over.

At this time, an old Chinese medicine doctor rushed into the house with a medicine box, and saw that Old Madam Gu hurriedly bowed down to give a salute.

"Doctor Wu, hurry up and show the master, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Facing Old Man Gu's earnest eyes, Dr. Wu wrinkled his eyebrows bitterly and said: "Master Gu's illness is very grotesque, the old man has never seen it in decades of practicing medicine, and he can't do anything, so please ask the old lady to find another famous doctor."

The chief doctor of Wu County was helpless, and Old Madam Gu instantly felt extremely desperate and stared at Old Master Gu on the bed and said, "Gu Ying.... Do you remember what you told me.... You said..... You will protect this family for the rest of your life.... Why are you so willing to leave us alone....."

When the matter comes to an end, you can see that the husband and wife are affectionate, don't look at the usual disputes between Mrs. Gu and Master Gu over the matter of concubines, but in the end, she still can't let go of Master Gu's safety.

On the other hand, those concubines, they are busy packing up at this time, ready to donate money and abscond at any time.

Thinking of the concubine, Gu Zhiqing immediately instructed Fengming to organize and say: "From now on, show me the Gu family to death, no one will want to enter or leave, and send a few people with strong professional quality to keep an eye on the concubine's every move."

At this time, there was no sadness in Gu Zhiqing's eyes, only anger and the fire of revenge. From the moment he entered the bedroom, he knew that Master Gu was not sick, but poisoned. He had personally tested this poison in his previous life, and it was indeed like the symptoms of Master Gu right now. This poison comes from a strange poison in the ancient court, which is said to have been developed by an old eunuch and used to deal with disobedient concubines.

After she was poisoned, similar to a wind and cold emergency, many imperial doctors in the palace were also misdiagnosed, resulting in many concubines who died unjustly.

This kind of poison detoxification is very simple, Gu Zhiqing only needs to use a little chemical knowledge of the later generations to easily dissolve it, but it can't prevent the secret spy hidden in the Gu family from continuing to poison.

Therefore, Gu Zhiqing felt that he should not detoxify Master Gu first, but secretly sent someone to block the Gu family.

Gu Zhiqing pulled Mrs. Gu into the wing room on the left, and asked Feng Ming to arrange a secret whistle inside and outside the house, and then he comforted Mrs. Gu and said, "Mother, the master is fine, don't hurt yourself"

Old Madam Gu hurriedly said: "The old man is unconscious, how can he say that there is nothing to say."

Gu Zhiqing leaned close to her ear and said: "Mother, the child can detoxify Master Gu, but he must cooperate with the child to act in a scene."

"Poisoned?" Old Madam Gu was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "They really jumped over the wall in a hurry."

"Qing'er, what are you going to do for your mother? Even though the command is... For the sake of the Gu family, for the sake of Master Gu, my mother can do anything" At this time, Mrs. Gu's mood also regained her composure, showing the unique momentum of the ladies of the Jiangnan martial arts.

After getting along with Gu Zhiqing in the past few days, Mrs. Gu has long understood that her son is no longer the same as before.

It's a person who has a supernatural means and the ability to do things.

Therefore, Old Madam Gu trusted the son in front of her very much.

"Mother.... From now on...."Gu Zhiqing leaned over and whispered in her ear for a long time, until Old Madam Gu seemed to have an understanding.

Only then did he turn around and leave Master Gu's room.

Standing in the Gu family's compound, he slowly paced towards the camphor tree in the courtyard.

I feel the countless pictures from my memory, which is the real feeling of every minute and every second of the predecessor of the gentleman for more than ten years.

Even if Gu Zhiqing's willpower is not affected by it, but when he is there.

I still can't help but bring in the perspective of the gentleman, as well as the perception of the inside,

When he was nine years old, he received his early childhood initiation in this courtyard.

The master held a ring ruler in his hand, and his words were sharp and taught the naughty and mischievous Xiao Zhiqing.

At that time, he was not such a bastard now, crying like a little tearful man, which made people feel pity.

Xiao Zhiqing's memory is really poor, and he can't even recite a few crosses.

The angry master kept beating his little hands with a ruler, and his little hands were red and swollen.

It's no wonder that Xiao Zhiqing cried so aggrieved and sad.

When I turned my eyes, I saw the rockery again.

At this time, Xiao Zhiqing has grown to twelve or thirteen years old, and he looks a bit like an adult on the surface.

The aura of the gentleman on his body gradually formed.

He still doesn't like to study, he always fights cocks and walks dogs, and gets together with a group of evil teenagers in Loucheng and runs rampant in the countryside.

At this time, he was hiding behind the rockery and looking at the spring palace picture with a group of half-sized children.

This gang of evil young people is not only curious to observe, they also find people to practice, first scourge the maids in the Gu family's old mansion.

After that, he ran out to plague the women of the good family, and it was from that moment that his reputation as a villain in Loucheng began to be called in the whole Loucheng.

As soon as he turned around again, Gu Zhiqing saw that Lou Cheng was less evil when he grew up.

At this time, he was dressed in a Confucian robe, and he looked a little suave, like a scholar.

If it weren't for his notoriety, no one would have seen him as a gentleman from his appearance.

This may be the image he deliberately created.

For example, those nouveau riche in later generations want to pretend that they are officials the most.

At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had the most lofty status in people's hearts, and they were still scholars.

Therefore, Gu Zhiqing, who was born in a merchant family, began to imitate the clothes of scholars, and made friends with various scholars to cover up his own inferiority complex of businessmen.

He shook his folding fan and talked about poetry and poetry with a few scholars in the gazebo.
