Dr. Chen came to the Governor's Mansion to make a follow-up consultation for Gu Jiu.
"The girl has recovered from her illness, but her body is still a little weak, and she needs to take good care of her."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Chen. I was able to save my life this time, thanks to Doctor Chen's wonderful hand and rejuvenation."
Dr. Chen said: "Miss Er, you are welcome. I will prescribe a health-preserving prescription for the girl, and insist on taking it every day. The shortest period is half a year, and the longest period is one or two years. The girl will be as healthy as others."
"Dr. Chen is here."
Dr. Chen wrote a prescription.
After a while, the prescription was prescribed.
He handed the prescription to Gu Jiu, "Miss, take the medicine according to the prescription, if you feel unwell, please send someone to tell me."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "Thank you, Dr. Chen. Qingmei, send Dr. Chen off for me."
"Doctor Chen, this way please."
Gu Jiu took the prescription and glanced over it.
It is indeed a prescription for nourishing the body to nourish the vitality and restore the pulse.
Dr. Chen's prescriptions and medicines are very accurate in treating colds and colds. But in terms of self-cultivation, there are some deficiencies.
There are still some flaws in the prescription in my hand.
Gu Jiu came to the desk, picked up a pen, imitated Dr. Chen's handwriting, and wrote a new prescription for health.
Schisandra, ginseng, longan meat...
A well-written prescription of Zhongzheng and peace, the medicine has mild effects, can not only nourish the body, but also beautify.
It happened that Qingmei saw off Dr. Chen and came back.
Gu Jiu handed her the prescription he had prescribed, "take the medicine according to the prescription."
"Yes! This servant is going to grab the medicine now."
Qingmei didn't realize that this prescription was prescribed by Gu Jiu himself.
Gu Jiu imitated Dr. Chen's handwriting perfectly. Without careful comparison, there is no trace of imitation at all.
Gu Jiu ignited the prescription prescribed by Dr. Chen and burned it.
"Girl, Li Chuan is here."
Qing Zhu stood at the door and said.
Gu Jiu suddenly laughed, "Let Li Chuan come in."
"yes!"
Soon, Li Chuan came to the door of the bedroom, "Little one, please greet the girl."
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "My brother sent you here, what's the matter?"
"Returning to the girl, the third young master got two new books, please come and taste them."
Gu Jiu's heart twitched slightly. Cousin Su must have received definite news.
She said, "Go back and tell brother, I'll be there in a while."
"Retire, little one."
"Qingzhu, wait for me to change my clothes, the color should be more plain."
Gu Jiu changed into a grass green dress, only the hem was embroidered, which looked fresh and elegant.
After that, she brought her maid to the courtyard where Gu Ting lived.
Su Zheng was already waiting inside.
When Gu Jiu saw him, he was blessed first, "I met Cousin Su."
"Your cousin is welcome."
Gu Jiu exchanged pleasantries with him, "Is Cousin Su used to living in the mansion these days?"
Su Zhengli said politely, "Thank you cousin for your concern, I am fine.
My cousin got two new books and learned that my cousin likes to read, so I specially invited my cousin to come and taste them. "
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's fortunate that my brother is thinking about me, so he sent someone to invite me to taste it."
She waved her hand and told the maids to back down.
Meeting today, tasting poems and books is not true, but exchanging news is true.
Gu Jiu asked straight to the point: "Cousin, did you hear about Xie's family?"
Su Zheng smiled and nodded, "My cousin guessed right."
"Brother Su, tell me quickly. After asking you for a long time, you have to wait for your sister to come over before you will say."
Gu Ting was very anxious. He was also very curious about the purpose of Xie's family coming to Jinzhou at this time.
Su Zheng lowered his voice, and said in a calm manner: "Yesterday, my uncle inspected everyone's homework. Everything else was normal, but Xie Xian was the only one who paid special attention to him and asked a lot of things outside of homework. Afterwards, I thought about it carefully. Uncle Looking at Xie Xian's gaze, it is very meaningful."
Gu Jiu asked softly, "Cousin Su has come to a conclusion about the reason why my father looks at Xie Xian differently?"
Su Zheng nodded, and said solemnly, "Uncle seems to be looking at his son-in-law."
"Ah?" Gu Ting looked surprised, "Could it be that father intends to betroth Gu Yue to Xie Xian?"
Gu Jiu and Su Zheng were silent, neither of them made a sound.
Gu Ting realized something was wrong, "Did I say something wrong? It wasn't Gu Yue, who could it be?"
"Brother, don't worry."
Gu Jiu looked at Su Zheng, "Cousin Su probably has other news."
Su Zheng laughed, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my cousin. Shunzi, come in."
The servant Shunzi entered the room, "Greetings to Master Biao, Miss Biao."
Su Zheng said, "Shunzi, tell Cousin what you heard."
"yes!"
Shunzi bowed slightly, "These days, the younger one often drags Mr. Xie's servant, Sangui, to drink and play money, and he is already familiar with him.
Yesterday, the son ordered me to inquire about Xie's father and son, so I took Sangui to drink and play money.
Sangui was persuaded by me, so he drank a few more glasses. After getting drunk, he really revealed some inside information. "
Gu Jiu asked, "What's the inside story?"
Shunzi said in a low voice: "Sangui said that this time Xie's father and son came to Jinzhou, one is to send money to the Xie family, and the other is to get married.
He also said that Mr. Xie married a sick young man and went back. After two years, the sick young man died of illness and got a dowry for nothing. "
"what?"
Gu Ting jumped up angrily, "Father is not watching the marriage for Gu Yue, but for my younger sister.
Knowing that the Xie family had evil intentions, his father was so foolish that he wanted to betroth his younger sister to Xie Xian. No, I have to go to my father to find out. "
"Cousin, don't worry, first listen to what my cousin has to say."
Su Zheng stopped Gu Ting, fearing that something bad happened to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting looked back at Gu Jiu, his eyes were full of worry and anger, and he looked worried.
"Sister, let's go see father together. Father must not let you betroth you to Xie Xian."
Gu Jiu laughed, her brother's concern for her warmed her heart.
She said, "Brother, be safe and don't be impatient."
"How can we not rush this matter. In case father really betroths you to Xie Xian, what should we do?"
Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, "Brother, do you think father will listen to us?"
Gu Ting was stunned.
Yeah, father couldn't possibly listen to them.
As the so-called marriage event, the words of the matchmaker are the order of the parents.
If he really made a fuss, not only would he not change his father's decision, but it might actually prompt his father to make up his mind to betroth his younger sister to Xie Xian.
But…
Gu Ting was full of worries, "It's useless to find my father, so what should we do? Would it be useful to beat Xie Xian?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Brother, don't worry, I'm trying to find a way. Cousin Su, you said my father is investigating Xie Xian?"
Su Zheng nodded, "That's right. I think with my uncle's style of handling things, the two marriages should not be settled so quickly.
However, if Xie Xian behaves well, uncle may really betroth his cousin to Xie Xian.
I heard that since living in your mansion, Xie Xian rarely went out, and spent most of his time studying in his room. "
Gu Ting snorted coldly, "It must be an act, just to win father's favor."
Gu Jiu asked again: "I don't know how Xie Xian's knowledge is?"
Su Zheng said, "Pingping!"
The word mediocre already explains everything.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "So, Xie Xian can't pass the imperial examination to become an official."
Su Zheng nodded, "Exactly. Cousin has an idea?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I have some ideas. Xie Xian probably doesn't really like reading."
Su Zheng affirmed, "Xie Xian is not a scholar."
Hearing this, Gu Ting said angrily, "I knew Xie Xian was hiding in his room and studying, and he was all pretending."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Just pretend."
