The moment he heard these words, Gu Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and he almost didn't react. He raised his voice and asked, "Where did the prescription come from?"
"It was sent by Mrs. General, Huishengtang, Guishou Zhang's prescription!"
There was a bit of excitement in Wan Baochang's voice. Hearing Gu Chengqian almost couldn't remember it, he almost panicked and repeated it again.
"You forgot?"
forget
How could it be forgotten
Gu Chengqian has experienced wind and rain for most of his life, and the wind and waves have passed by. Sometimes I have experienced a lot of big things, and I don't remember very much about the ordinary little things.
But the pain of the old cold leg and the old injury together reminded him of one thing: he can't invite ghosts.
Doctors in the world, there are too many.
But Guishou Zhang is just such a person.
It is a good hand to cure diseases, treat strange diseases, and solve intractable diseases;
Healing injuries, Liao’s serious injuries, scraping bones to cure poison is not a problem;
Dispensing medicines and new medicines, I often go to the horns and nooks and inaccessible mountains, and always find some medicines that are not found in the Baicao Collection, and can prepare different usages for ordinary medicines. The Eighteenth Anti-Anti, who is generally a doctor who is cautious and cautious, is easy to come by on his side.
There are even rumors that when he was terrified of healing, he opened his stomach and took something out of his stomach.
Whether it's true or not, Gu Chengqian doesn't know.
He only knew that Ghost Hand Zhang might not really be able to cure his problem, but if he had to find someone in the world who could cure it, there would only be one Ghost Hand Zhang.
It's a pity that so many people in the house have invited him so many times, but they have not been successful in the end.
The old man was stubborn, Gu Chengqian didn't know whether the other party was not sure about medical skills, or whether he had offended others without knowing it.
As for Tan Ding's entry into the mu, he said that he did good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, and he never felt any guilt.
In order to seek medical treatment, Wan Bao often came back in the cold weather wearing a foot wash.
At that time, he and Gu Juefei hadn't had a falling out yet, dragging an old Han's leg in his study, drinking medicine and looking at the painting "Shuang Cranes in the Cold Forest" by him.
Hanging in the house is the "Fast Snow When Clear Post", which is just around the corner. In the plum bottle is a cold plum that has just been folded back and is still stained with snow. On the chess table by the window, there is an unfinished game. Jane Long.
Zihao pen walked on the Chengxintang paper spread out on the bookcase, he hung his wrist, stroke by stroke, very freehand.
After Wan Baochang came in and was very arrogant, he didn't even lift his eyelids. As if he had expected this result, he laughed: "When you encounter hard bones, how can you be so polite?"
This is a very ordinary-sounding remark.
At that time, Gu Chengqian didn't care, only seeing Wan Baochang's embarrassed appearance, his heart tightened with anger, and he immediately placed the medicine bowl on the table.
"If you don't come, you won't be invited! The old man who buried half of his body in the soil has suffered from pain all these years? It's not bad in the past few years! From now on, no one is allowed to invite him again!"
A strict order went down, and all the people in the house obeyed.
After that, no one really went to Huishengtang again, but every time the sky was cloudy and cold, someone always remembered: If the ghost hand Zhang Kenzhi, maybe the old lady's problem can be cured, right
After so many years, the original scene is still vivid in my mind.
Gu Chengqian sighed: "I didn't even think that there would be a day when I could see the medicine in Huishengtang. The General's Mansion, sent by the General's wife..."
Isn't that Xue Kuang's widow, Lu Jiuling's only daughter, Lu Jinxi
At this moment, Gu Chengqian looked at his classmate, classmate, and colleague at the end of the mahogany carved lacquer coffee table.
Lu Jiuling was a few years older than Gu Chengqian, and looked just as old.
He was wearing a dark blue uniform and a black green cloak, and sat on the chair with a long beard. He was afraid of being disturbed by the wind outside, so he clipped it with a beard clip.
When he heard Wan Baochang say "Mrs. General", he was stunned.
After a long time, he asked Wan Baochang, "You just said, Madam General?"
Wan Baochang also knew the pain in the heart of this old man, and even heard that the wife of the general was sick a month ago, and she refused to see him. Now that he heard the wife of the general, how could he not be excited
He hurriedly replied: "It is indeed the wife of the Great General. She came with the eldest princess Yongning, and I was shocked when I saw her. She looked very good, as if she had recovered from her illness. I told her, you I was talking to the adults of our family in the study, and my wife returned, and I came here today to meet you."
"Good, good, good..."
After speaking in a row, Lu Jiuling's mouth was vague, and she couldn't find any other words.
Sitting next to Gu Chengqian, his wrinkled face was already in a trance.
Wan Baochang was a little frightened by his appearance, and was a little frightened for a while, only Gu Chengqian shook his head at him, and only asked him to hand over the golden box to himself, don't disturb Lu Jiuling,
It's all suffering from old age. How could he not know the situation of Lu Jiuling's daughter
When I got a daughter at a young age, I loved her like a precious pearl, and I just looked at her as a charming girl forever. In the future, relying on the lintel of the Lu family, why should she stay until the age of 20, teach her some things in the inner house, and then choose a poet and calligraphy scholar from Beijing or Jiangnan to marry.
In this way, unless you are forty and childless, you are not allowed to take concubines.
His daughter doesn't have to worry about not getting through life at all.
Everything is planned well.
Even in many banquets and private gatherings, Lu Jiuling often mentioned it with a smile on her face.
The Lu family's child, although it is said that although he does not have the same ability as Wei Yi, the eldest daughter of Taifu Wei's family, he is kind and docile, and is very popular with the elders.
Gu Chengqian is busy with official business, and suffers from leg problems all the year round, so he doesn't go out very much, and only sees the little girl a few times.
In the impression, it is also gentle and charming, and it is painful.
But who would have thought
Everything Lu Jiuling planned for her daughter failed in the end.
Emperor Qing'an said that marriage is a gift, and there is no room for change.
The son-in-law that Lu Jiuling envisaged "was born in a Confucian family, and didn't accept a concubine until he had no children in his forties."
Even at that time, his daughter was only sixteen, and everything in the house was not fully learned.
After going to the General's Mansion like this, even if she had a valuable status, even if Xue Kuang never treated her beside her, and even never took a concubine for more than five years, how could life be easy
Originally, it was brocade clothes and jade food to nourish his body, and poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness to nourish his spirit.
This time, it's good, and before I can take care of it, it has become a thousand kinds of internal discussions.
For the past eleven years, Lu Jiuling has been gnashing his teeth every time he mentioned the General's Mansion!
Just who can be blamed
Who dare to blame
When Xue Kuang brought Hu Ji and the lame son back to Beijing, he didn't go to the palace gate to kneel, but Emperor Qing An only asked someone to persuade him to go back.
When he returned, he almost fell ill.
The emperor's life is difficult.
Even if one does not want to marry, and the other does not want to marry, who would dare to tie the rise and fall of the family's fate to such a marriage
At that time, Xue Huan, who had lost his second room in the General's Mansion, and even Xue Kuang's elder brother Xue Leng also went.
The Lu family, although a scholarly family, never had much real power, and it was just better when it came to Lu Jiuling.
How can the two of them be compared with the Gu family and the Wei family
The emperor can squeeze to death by moving his fingers, and he doesn't even have to worry about hurting his muscles and bones.
So, in the end, it still became such a "bad fate".
Seeing Lu Jiuling sitting there now, his face was in a deep trance and sadness. Gu Chengqian thought about it, and sadness came from it.
Where is he himself
"Clap."
He twisted the bronze lock of Huishengtang in the shape of Tiannanxing's leaves.
The things lying inside were also reflected in his eyes one by one: medicine stickers, prescriptions, and doctor's orders were all available, including those for knees, those for foot baths, and even decoctions for oral administration.
"Ugh… "
Gu Chengqian let out a long sigh, but he knew how deep his heart was hidden in this small box.
Gu Mansion went up and down, and visited Huishengtang for many years, and Guishou Zhang was afraid that he had already recited his illness. This doctor's order is written, but all of them correspond to his illness...
First, Lu Jinxi could remember his problem, second, he dared to go to Huishengtang again to ask for medicine, and thirdly, he was successful.
It's what it is, it's what it means.
It is not like the rumors from the outside world, too kind and gentle, cowardly and incompetent.
There was a warm warm current in my heart for a while, and it slowly flowed away, making Gu Chengqian feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Jiuling has a good daughter.
He slowly closed the lid of the brocade box again, but he didn't know what to say or think for a while, so he only ordered Wan Baochang: "Go and tell Madam in person, Madam General does not like to go out of the house, and it is rare to come out for a walk. , don't be lazy."
Wan Bao often listened to it and understood in his heart.
The general's wife was originally a first-class official, and she was on an equal footing with the Taishi's wife, Tang Shi, so she couldn't be neglected, let alone accompanied Princess Yongning
The old man added that he was going to be a guest of honor.
He hurriedly bowed and answered "yes", and was about to go out.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Jiuling stood up directly from the chair, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be deeper, she only said: "Since you are going, show me a ride. Stable…”
Gu Chengqian heard this, and his heart was filled with endless pain.
"Bao Chang, you just take Mr. Lu there, and you can ask Mrs. General to see you in the side hall."
"Yes." Wan Baochang knew in his heart that this was Lord Lu's love for his daughter, and he wanted to see it, so he waved his hand and said, "Please come with me, Lord Lu."
Lu Jiuling didn't talk nonsense, and even forgot to say goodbye to Gu Chengqian.
Along with Wan Baochang, he disappeared outside the door, bypassing the twists and turns of the corridor, and finally disappeared.
Gu Chengqian just sat in the room.
In his hand was the box of Huishengtang's medicine, and on the table was a good tea that was starting to cool down. The earth dragon was burning hot, but he felt that there was a cool air all over the room, and he moved towards him with all his strength. Drill in the seam of the bone.
chilly.
This winter is too long and too cold.
He looked out the window again.
The budding Begonia shivered in the cold wind of the spring, as if the next gust of wind could blow through the bulging buds and bloom fresh flowers.
How did he and that eldest son get to where they are today
Gu Chengqian almost forgot.
He just remembered the sentence again: "When you encounter tough bones, how can you be so polite?"
This is what Gu Juefei said when they couldn't invite Guishou Zhang.
It was a word from his eldest son, who had always been humble and reserved.
It was such an obvious place that he didn't even notice it at the time.
So much so that, after a long, long time, he found out all the details of his relationship with him in the past, only to realize that this sentence was one of the few times when he showed his flaws.
It seems like a joke, with the simple word "kindness".
Inside, how many thrilling and sword-like shadows are hidden
At that time, he, like everyone around him, had a similar understanding to this eldest son, the eldest son of the Gu family, the most proud genius of the Gu family in the past hundred years—
He has traveled to study the world, made friends with all over the world, three religions and nine streams, and merchants and pawns. He admired him all;
The court and the opposition, and his colleagues from all directions, there are also many who have helped him solve the crisis and praised him;
He is also the companion of Emperor Qing'an, and he is a close friend of him, and he talks about everything.
The daughter's family in the capital, who doesn't admire his amazing talent, that arrogant and elegant bearing
This is a person who is almost perfect in everyone's eyes.
The jade is flawless and flawless.
Since his opening, no one of his age has ranked ahead of him, and almost few people have a bad feeling towards him. He's getting better and better, he's smart and smart.
As a result, this kind of cognition gradually deepened and remained deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.
Including Gu Chengqian.
This kind of cognition has lasted for too long, too long, and people are already used to it. So much so that he couldn't believe it six years ago when this cognition collapsed like a mountain.
It took a long time to be full of disappointment, full of anger, and even—
Full of fear.
Gu Juefei still looks like the eldest son of Gu who is so perfect that no one can go wrong...
But in the world, how many people know, what kind of terrifying monster is hidden inside when the painting skin is uncovered
Apart from horror, he didn't know how to describe it.
The old things came to Gu Chengqian's mind one by one.
He slowly put the brocade box in his hand on the desk, looked at it for a long time, but a bit of sadness flashed in his eyes: After all, it was him who failed to keep Xue Kuang...
Now, how can he be his widow and treat each other with such a heavy heart
There were tears in Gu Chengqian's eyes for a while, but he could only stand stiffly in front of the book desk, looking up at the "Fast Snow When Clear Post" that was moved and hung on his wall, he was speechless for a long time.
On the other side, the big housekeeper Wan Baochang had brought Lu Jiuling to sit in the side hall first, and then turned to the back garden. He instructed a maid to go to Tang's side to report, and asked Lu Jinxi to come to the side hall.
Lu Jinxi didn't walk very fast.
After all, the Gu family is famous and has a deep heritage left over from the previous dynasties. The ancestors’ ancestral home is also in the south of the Yangtze River. The entire mansion is built according to the style of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, which is extraordinarily elegant.
It's not a problem to move to change the scene.
In the big winter, some green trees and safflowers can be seen in the garden, which makes people forget that it is still an early spring with cold spring.
When she saw it, she was relieved for a while, and walked more and more slowly.
Egret and Qingque followed her without saying a word.
Across a wall, there were vague chatter and laughter.
Lu Jinxi knew that if he went to the front, it should be the flower hall where the female guests were entertained, so he settled down and walked over with the maid.
Unexpectedly, a maid behind her hurriedly ran from the corridor, ran all the way along the edge of the small lake, hurriedly reached behind her, saluted, and panted, "Madam, the housekeeper Wan is here with a servant to report, Please follow the servants to the side hall first, and Mrs. Lu is waiting for you to speak."
