Mrs. Xiao Wei walked into the room.
"How about Da Lang's wife? Does it matter?"
Gu Rui stood up and said, "I've already taken the anti-fetal medicine, and the situation is better."
The eldest lady, Xiao Wei, was obviously relieved. She took a look at Jia Shi's face, it was pale and pale, like a dead person.
Little Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became worried.
She came to the bed and asked softly, "Daughter-in-law, how do you feel now? Tell me what makes you uncomfortable."
The young lady Jia opened her eyes and said weakly, "It's because my daughter-in-law is unfilial to worry my mother-in-law. After taking the medicine, I feel much better, but my body is weak and I can't get up."
Xiao Wei said: "Lie down well, don't worry about it. I have already sent someone to invite the imperial physician with the old master's name card. Don't worry, the imperial physician will come soon. Does your stomach still hurt?"
Jia shook her head slightly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Wei immediately let go of half of his heart. No stomach pain, no bleeding, the baby should be fine.
She told Jia Shi to take a good rest, and then motioned Gu Rui to talk outside.
The mother and son came to the outside room, Xiao Wei asked: "Da Lang, what's the matter with your daughter-in-law? All right, why did you suddenly complain of a stomachache?"
Gu Rui said: "My son didn't know the situation either. At that time, after she had washed up and lay on the bed for a long time, she started to complain of stomach pain. I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly sent someone to take the old master's post and go out to ask the imperial doctor."
Hearing this, Xiao Wei sighed, "When the servant girl came to report, the old lady was frightened and insisted on coming over to take a look. It's so late and it's cold outside, how dare I let the old lady go out. At least let me and you The second aunt persuaded me."
It is also because of this that the eldest lady Xiao Wei came late.
"Is the old lady okay?" Gu Rui asked worriedly.
Little Wei shook her head, "She's just worried about your daughter-in-law and that she won't be able to keep the child."
Gu Rui said: "Since she was pregnant with this child, she hasn't lived a day of comfort. It's really not possible, even if she doesn't want the child."
"Nonsense. You are the eldest son, and you have been married for two years. Is it reasonable to have no children? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Hou family."
Xiao Wei scolded Gu Rui angrily, with a distraught look on his face.
Gu Rui was tongue-tied and sighed, "Mother calm down, son is just talking casually."
Xiao Wei snorted coldly, "I don't want to hear similar words in the future. Mingyue's body has been recuperating for so long, and she finally got pregnant, and this happened again. If I had known this, I shouldn't have..."
"Mother!" Gu Rui interrupted Xiao Wei, and he looked at him disapprovingly, "I want to marry Mingyue, if you want to blame, you can blame me. I will bear all the responsibilities."
Xiao Wei's heart was filled with anger, "You, you are really obsessed. Forget it, forget it, it's useless to say these things now.
When the imperial doctor comes, let Mingyue take a good look. If you really can't keep this baby, don't force it.
Continue to take care of your body, and strive to be able to conceive smoothly next time and give birth to the child smoothly. "
Gu Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you mother for understanding."
Xiao Wei snorted coldly, "What can I do if I don't understand the matter now. Your daughter-in-law has hidden things in her heart. If I am a mother-in-law, if I show her face again, she may even want to die. up.
I'm not that kind of wicked mother-in-law, I don't know how to torture my daughter-in-law. I just hope that both of you, the young couple, are safe and sound, and that you will add children to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible. "
Gu Rui was both moved and guilty, "The son is ashamed of his mother."
"Okay, go into the house and stay with your wife. She looks like that, and I don't feel relieved if no one is with her."
"Thank you, mother."
Gu Rui returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Jia's hand.
Jia Shi looked at Gu Rui anxiously, "Mother-in-law..."
Gu Rui comforted softly, "Don't worry, it's fine. My mother is very worried about you, and she asked me to persuade you to relax, don't put pressure on yourself, and don't think wildly. No one in the house will gossip."
Jia was so moved, "My mother-in-law always thinks of me, but I am so disappointed. It is difficult to conceive a child, but there are still three disasters and six disasters. Let everyone worry with me."
"Look at you, you're thinking wildly again. The imperial doctor has said, you have to relax and don't think about it."
Jia Shi nodded, "I see, I won't think wildly, I will get better."
Gu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's right to think so."
The maid stood at the door and rushed to Gu Jiu, Gu Mei beckoned.
Gu Jiu and Gu Mei then left the bedroom and came to the outside room.
The eldest lady Xiao Wei motioned for the two to sit down, and then asked: "When you came over, what happened to Dalang's daughter-in-law?"
Gu Mei secretly glanced at Gu Jiu, and said: "Reporting to mother, my daughter and sister Xiao Jiu met the little maid next to sister-in-law on the way back to the room, and hurried over when they learned that something happened to sister-in-law.
When she came over, the sister-in-law was so painful that she almost passed out. It was Xiaojiu who reminded us to quickly take out the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician and take the medicine according to the prescription. After the sister-in-law drank the medicine, the situation improved a lot. "
The eldest lady Xiao Wei looked at Gu Jiu and laughed, "Xiao Jiu is indeed a lucky star."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "When I was in the northwest, everyone said that I was not blessed, so my body was always sick. I didn't expect that when I returned to the capital, I would not only recover, but also be able to help a little. It really is the Hou Mansion The blessings are profound, and even I have received favors."
Little Wei's face was happy, Gu Jiu is too good at talking.
Little Wei smiled and said: "It can be seen that the place in the northwest does not match your horoscope. So when you were in the northwest, your health was not well maintained. Now it seems that the rich and noble place in the capital is definitely in line with your horoscope. So when you return to Beijing, you will be in good health. Now, luck has also arrived."
Gu Jiu smiled, eyebrows and eyes curved, "Hearing what the aunt in the lobby said, it makes sense. I don't feel panic anymore."
Little Wei laughed, "You don't have to panic in the Hou Mansion. If you have anything, you can talk to Mei girl. If Mei girl can't solve it, you come and tell me, and I will solve it for you."
"Thank you, Auntie in the lobby."
The servants came in and reported that the imperial doctor had arrived.
"Quickly invite Doctor Hu to come in."
Doctor Hu is an old man who is nearly sixty years old, with a gray beard.
He is a well-known master of gynecology in the Imperial Hospital. If the empresses in the palace are not feeling well, they will ask Imperial Physician Hu to take a look.
Imperial Physician Hu did not come alone, he also brought his apprentices, one male and one female.
Gu Jiu took a second look at that female disciple.
Hu's female disciple, about twenty-seven or eight years old, with her head crossed and a dull expression.
Mrs. Xiao Wei, together with Gu Rui, welcomed Imperial Physician Hu.
Xiao Wei said: "It's so late, it's hard work for Dr. Hu to come here. Dalang's daughter-in-law kept complaining of stomach pains, and we were all terrified.
After taking the anti-fetal medicine you prescribed, it finally got better. Show her quickly, what's going on with her? Is the baby in her belly okay? "
"Ma'am, don't be in a hurry. The old man asks the young mistress for a pulse."
"Okay, okay, doctor Hu please come here."
Xiao Wei invited Imperial Physician Hu into the bedroom, and Gu Jiu followed him in, standing by the side and looking up.
Judging from the prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Physician Hu, Gu Jiu knew that Imperial Physician Hu's reputation as a master of gynecology was not just a lie, it was a real skill.
Dr. Hu did have profound attainments and insights in obstetrics and gynecology.
Imperial Physician Hu checked the pulse with his hand, expressionless.
Hu's female disciple, named Kumquat. According to Gu Mei's introduction, Kumquat is the neighbor of Imperial Physician Hu, and when the family was in trouble, she learned medical skills from Imperial Physician Hu to deal with Yixi's illness that was inconvenient for Imperial Physician Hu.
After Taiji Hu's pulse diagnosis, he signaled Jinju to check Jia's body.
As for privacy, everyone exited the bedroom.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Hu came out.
The eldest lady Xiao Wei hurriedly asked: "Doctor Hu, how is the situation?"
"You dealt with it promptly and correctly. Thanks to this, the condition of the eldest and youngest mistress did not deteriorate. Don't worry, Madam, the adults and children are all fine. I will re-open the prescription and take it three times a day."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Gu Rui and Gu Mei both looked at Gu Jiu.
Fortunately, they chose to trust Gu Jiu, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Mei whispered to Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, thank you."
"Sister Mei, you're welcome."
Imperial Physician Hu re-prescribed the medicine, and told his disciple Kumquat to stay in the Hou's mansion and take care of Jia Shi, and then took the male disciple back home.
The eldest lady Xiao Wei said: "Girl Mei, Xiao Jiu, it's so late, you two should hurry back to your room to rest."
"Mother also rest early."
"Don't worry about me. This person is old and sleeps less. It's okay to sleep less for a while. You are just growing up, so you can't stay up late."
Gu Mei and Gu Jiu bid farewell to Da Furen and Gu Rui. He also made an appointment with Jia Shi to visit her tomorrow, and then he left the courtyard.
Back at the Peony Courtyard where Gu Mei lived, Gu Jiu felt exhausted as soon as he relaxed.
"Sister Xiaojiu, thanks to you today. Are you tired? I'll ask the servant girl to fetch hot water. After washing up, we'll go to bed and rest."
"I listened to Sister Mei."
After washing up and going to bed, Gu Jiu thought he would fall asleep soon because he was so tired after all.
As a result, he went to bed, and his whole body became more and more energetic. The sleepy bug didn't know where to go.
In the dark night, Gu Mei breathed evenly.
Gu Jiu turned over carefully, could it be because of a change of environment that she couldn't sleep.
"Sister Xiaojiu, are you still awake?"
Gu Mei's voice sounded in the dark night.
Gu Jiu snorted and laughed.
"It turns out that sister Mei is not asleep either."
Gu Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You damn girl, how can I fall asleep after tossing and turning. Are you a bed?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "I shouldn't recognize the bed very much. Only on the first day back to the capital, some didn't adapt to the climate of the capital, so I went to bed late. Other times, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow."
Gu Mei said, "It's probably because you're not used to sleeping in the same bed with people."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Sister Mei makes sense."
The two of them each covered a quilt, Gu Jiu was playful, so she simply crawled into Gu Mei's bed to tickle her.
"Xiao Jiu, you're being naughty again." Gu Mei giggled a few times, and finally grabbed Gu Jiu's troublesome hand, "Don't act recklessly."
Gu Jiu snuggled into Gu Mei's arms, "Sister Mei, you smell so good."
"We're all the same. If you say I smell good, aren't you praising yourself?" Gu Mei teased Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu laughed, "I sure as hell smell good too."
Gu Mei followed Gu Jiu's hair, "Sister Xiao Jiu, how do you keep your hair, it's black and smooth."
Gu Jiu smiled proudly, "I'm a natural beauty."
Gu Mei teased her: "Give you two points of color, and you will open a dyeing workshop."
After finishing speaking, he pinched Gu Jiu's cheek, "Sister Xiao Jiu, your face is so tender."
"Sister Mei's face is also tender."
Everyone is young and young, the collagen egg buns are sufficient, and it is amazing enough without makeup.
Gu Mei asked curiously, "Sister Xiaojiu, who did you learn your medical skills from? Can you tell me?"
In the dark night, Gu Jiu opened his eyes wide, as if they were shining with light.
She said to Gu Mei: "Sister Mei, I said that I am self-medicated and self-taught after a long illness, do you believe me?"
Gu Mei nodded again and again, "I wouldn't believe it if I were someone else, but you, I would definitely believe it."
Gu Jiu wondered, "Why would Sister Mei believe me?"
"Because you are sister Xiaojiu?"
Gu Jiu was stunned, "Is it that simple?"
Gu Mei laughed and put her arms around Gu Jiu, and the two got closer, "The first time I saw sister Xiao Jiu, I felt that you were different from others. As expected, my vision was right. Sister Xiao Jiu , How many surprises will you give me?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "No more. I've got all of my skills."
Gu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't believe it, you must have surprises for us. You can teach yourself, at such a young age, your medical skills can catch up with the old doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades, how clever you are."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Mei, in the dark night, she only saw a silhouette.
"Sister Mei, if I say that I actually cured my illness, would you believe me?"
Gu Mei nodded again and again, "Of course."
Gu Jiu was a little moved when he heard that.
Gu Mei trusted her so much, but she had to deceive him.
"Sister Xiaojiu, you must have suffered a lot these years. In order to cure your illness, you must have studied a lot of medical skills. Have you ever tried acupuncture on yourself?"
Gu Jiu hummed, "I have tried."
"I knew it would be like this. They all said that you were very sick at the beginning, and you were on the verge of dying. Then there was a commotion, and your condition miraculously recovered. I guessed that at that time, you should have found a cure. I have my own way, so I made a fuss on purpose, looking for opportunities."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Mei in admiration.
Except for the fact that she was time-traveled, Gu Mei guessed right in most cases.
Gu Mei managed to piece together a complete truth based on just a few gossips, which is really remarkable. She is indeed the eldest daughter cultivated by the Hou family.
Seeing that Gu Jiu had been silent, Gu Mei comforted her, "Sister Xiao Jiu, don't worry. If you can't solve anything, you can go to the Hou Mansion for help."
Gu Jiu was moved, "Thank you, Sister Mei. When I think of Sister Mei, you are going to get married next year, I can't bear it."
Gu Mei laughed, "Even if I'm married, I'm still in the capital. If you have anything to do, just send someone to tell me. If you want to meet, that's easier. I'll post a post for you, and you just need to be a guest." Yes. If Aunt Xie stops you and won't let you go out, I'll go to her to reason."
Gu Jiu smiled sweetly, "Sister Mei, you are so kind."
Gu Mei scratched the bridge of Gu Jiu's nose, "You know I'm fine. Will you still make fun of me in the future?"
Gu Jiu shook her head again and again, "I promise I won't make fun of you, you must be serious in what you say and do."
"You girl, you love to joke."
Gu Mei looked at the roof, "Sister Xiaojiu, today you took the pulse of sister-in-law, what's going on with sister-in-law's body, can you tell me?"
Gu Jiu was curious, "Don't Sister Mei know the reason why the lobby sister-in-law is weak?"
Gu Mei sighed softly, "Mother and elder brother should know the inside story, but they never told me. I have made a guess, but it seems to be wrong.
I saw that my sister-in-law was having such a hard pregnancy and she kept conserving her baby, so I wondered if there was something wrong with her body. Could it be that the maid beside her was dishonest? "
Gu Jiu said: "It's not like that. Today I checked the pulse of the lobby sister-in-law, and found that she must have been injured when she was a child, leaving the root cause of the disease, and it was not cured."
Gu Mei was stunned for a moment, "Sister-in-law was injured when she was a child? I don't know about it. My sister-in-law and elder brother are childhood sweethearts, and elder brother must be clear about this matter. Sister Xiaojiu, do you know exactly what injury elder sister was injured?"
Gu Jiu pondered for a while, leaned into Gu Mei's ear, and whispered, "Sister-in-law seems to have been poisoned when she was young."
"What?" Gu Mei was shocked.
"Hush! Sister Mei, please don't yell. This is just my preliminary judgment, and it may not be true."
"No! It should be true. I suddenly remembered that when I was about five or six years old, my elder brother came back from the outside with blood on his body, and my mother was terrified. I can't remember what happened later. Now I think about it Come to think of it, it is possible that sister-in-law was poisoned at that time."
