Five years passed in a blink of an eye.
The summer of the thirty-seventh year of Baoqing came quietly with a thunder.
In the evening, the weather was muggy.
The back door of Magistrate Li of Suzhou opened with a creak, and a graceful woman quickly got into the carriage. This woman was Magistrate Li's favorite concubine, Mrs. Xu.
The maid in green looked around intelligently, jumped on the carriage, and whispered a few words to the driver.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at a narrow alley. The maid helped Mr. Xu get out of the car and walked a few hundred meters before the two of them got into a house.
As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Xu was dumbfounded. A nearly ten-meter-long queue formed out of the main room. The woman gritted her teeth, not daring to speak out, and stood silently at the end.
After the third watch, it was finally her turn.
The young waiter smiled and whispered: "Madam, please come with me!"
After bypassing the main hall, walking through the corridor, crossing the rockery and flowing water, the waiter stopped in front of a small room.
"What's your surname, madam?"
"The surname is Xu."
"Where do you live?"
"The entrance to Liujia Alley."
"Wait a moment." The clerk asked simply, then went in to pass the message.
Mrs. Xu looked around, it was dark, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird, with an indescribable feeling.
The maid in green seemed to notice it and grabbed Xu's arm.
"Madam, Doctor Jin invites you!"
After a while, the man left and came back.
Mrs. Xu took a long breath, pushed the maid's hand away, and walked into the house.
The layout of the house is very simple, with only one table and one chair.
Behind the table, a man in black was sitting with a veil, his deep eyes looking at her without any emotion.
Mrs. Xu shivered, sat down gracefully, coughed slightly, and said, "Doctor Jin, I..."
"Reach out!" A cold female voice sounded faintly.
"You are a woman!"
The golden doctor who is said to be able to bring people back from the dead is actually a woman, and her voice sounds very childish. Xu raised her eyebrows with a look of disbelief.
The masked man raised his eyes, said nothing, and only placed three fingers on his pulse.
"On the surface, the pulse pattern indicates cold and dampness, irregular menstruation, and cold uterus and infertility. In fact..."
"What's the reality?" Mrs. Xu looked nervous.
The masked man sighed softly and said, "Let me ask you, do you have the habit of drinking bird's nest every night?"
Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly: "How did you know?"
"There is a small amount of mercury added to the bird's nest. If you eat it every day, you will naturally not get pregnant. If my diagnosis is good, your menstrual flow is sparse, the menstrual days are getting shorter, and the color is red. Even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, the child will not be pregnant. Can’t keep it.”
Mrs. Xu was shocked and fell to her knees.
"Miracle doctor, miracle doctor, please save me, you must save me."
The masked man looked at her calmly: "Do you know the rules of my medical practice?"
"I know, I know, if you do something for the miracle doctor, it will come true and your illness will be cured!" Ms. Xu inquired clearly.
"Now that I know, I will prescribe medicine for you. In three months, the poison will be gone from your body, and in half a year, you will be pregnant!"
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What does the miracle doctor want me to do?"
The masked man's dark eyes flashed with light, and his voice was as clear as pearls.
"You can't let the marriage between Governor Li's silly son and Miss Gu's sixth daughter come true."
The fourth update has passed.
As the last patient left quietly, the door of the house slammed heavily, and the guys began to sweep the courtyard.
In the dark night, Yueniang carried the food box into the house and said, "Miss, let's have some porridge. I'm tired after a long night."
Gu Qingguan had already taken off his black clothes and veil, and was frowning in thought over some prescriptions under the candle.
As soon as Yueniang interrupted her, she simply put away the prescription and wolfed down a few delicate side dishes.
After a few mouthfuls, Gu Qingwan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is there a letter from Uncle Fu?"
Yueniang shook her head: "It can't be so fast. Beizhili is so far away from Suzhou, and it takes several months to go back and forth. Uncle Fu is going to open a branch this time. He won't be able to come back for half a year."
"I'm worried!"
Gu Qingguan smiled faintly, with a hint of trance on his delicate and beautiful face.
Fast forward five years.
In the past five years, on the surface she was still the silly and silly sixth lady of the Gu family, but secretly she was already a famous miracle doctor in Nanzhili. Qingfengtang has firmly established itself in Nanzhili and is making money every day.
No one knows how she survived these five years. Only she knows that she is walking on thin ice step by step.
Seeing the young lady's expression, Yueniang knew that she was thinking about the past again, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it's time to go back, it will be dawn soon."
Gu Qingwan raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Hmm."
The streets were deserted in the early morning.
The young coachman held the reins steadily, and the carriage moved slowly, making only a slight sound.
Gu Qingguan leaned his head against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.
"Miss, how should we push forward the marriage of Magistrate Li?"
Gu Qingguan didn't open his eyes and said with a smile: "This matter will be resolved in less than ten days."
Yueniang said happily: "Miss, are you serious?"
"Absolutely true."
"How did Miss do it?"
"The prefect's favorite concubine, Mrs. Xu, was laced with mercury in her tonic by her wife. I treated her, and she did things for me, and the money and goods were cleared."
Gu Qingguan said it very easily, but Yueniang's heart felt clear.
The lady does not charge for medical treatment, she only asks the patient to do one thing for her. This may be big or small, easy or difficult, it all depends on who the patient is. It must have taken a lot of thought and trouble for the young lady to attract Mr. Xu.
When Yue Niang thought of this, anger appeared on her pretty face: "Miss, we have been living in seclusion for many years, and we dare not even show our faces during the holidays. But she still thinks about it and wants to push you into the fire pit. She is so cruel."
Gu Qingwan knew that the woman Yueniang was talking about was none other than his father's second wife, Princess Huayang.
She smiled lightly and said: "It's a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. It's best to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Yueniang said contemptuously: "That depends on whether she has the ability." Her young lady is no longer what she used to be.
Gu Qingguan curled his lips and changed his posture. Before they could sit firmly, the carriage paused heavily and the two of them bumped into each other.
The curtain was suddenly opened, and a long sword came across.
"Get out of the car!" The voice was deep and deep, without any warmth.
Yueniang threw herself on Gu Qingwan and said in a trembling voice: "You... what do you want... to do?"
"Get out of the car and keep talking nonsense, your life will be at risk." A handsome face came in, without any expression.
Yueniang hurriedly put her cloak on the young lady and protected her like a chicken.
After getting out of the car, I looked around and saw that the carriage was blocked by a dozen men in black. Chen Ping, who was driving the carriage, had been restrained, with a bright knife hanging under his neck.
Yueniang's heart skipped a beat and she secretly thought it was not good.
Chen Pingyuan is a martial artist in the escort agency. He seeks help from the young lady because he is treating his mother's illness. The lady saw that he was very skilled in martial arts, so she hired him with money. With his skill, he could easily defeat a dozen thieves, but he was subdued by one move without even issuing a warning, which showed that the opponent was extraordinary.
Gu Qingguan lay in Yueniang's arms, looking around with the corner of his eyes, his eyes fell on a man in a black brocade shirt.
This man has ink jade buns on his head, and the ink hair hangs lightly on the back of his head. He has sculpture-like facial features, long sword-shaped eyebrows, and bright moon lips. He has a ruffian smile on his face, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and he looks like a wealthy man. appearance.
It's actually him
Gu Qingguan's heart condensed and she buried her head deeply in Yueniang's arms.
Yueniang thought the young lady was afraid, and held her in her arms without daring to move, staring with stern eyes.
"Master, the car is here. I'll help you."
The man let out a long sigh and said quietly: "Ah Li, you let me ride in such a shabby car. Do you know that this is the worst car I have ever sat in..."
"Compared to the previous ten cars, this car is already... Otherwise, if I keep insisting, A-Li will look for it again!"
The man raised his eyebrows and narrowed his dark eyes.
"Forget it, I'll leave you alone. Ah Li, help me get into the car!"
The man walked past Yueniang in a swaggering manner. As he passed each other's shoulders, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the person in his arms.
"Hey, whose little girl is this? She doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanders around the street? Come on, show me!"
The man seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking at Gu Qingwan calmly.
Chen Ping was furious because he dared to molest my young lady. He struggled twice, but was held down tightly.
Yueniang's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned around, covering her burning gaze with her back.
Gu Qingguan calmly took the purse in his hand, mentally calculating whether the weight inside was enough to bring down twenty strong men.
If you can't put him down, can you capture the thief first and capture the king first? As far as she knew, this person should be powerless.
Before Qingguan could think about it again, A Li urged: "Master, it's getting late, it's almost dawn!"
"Boring, boring!" The man in the brocade shirt glanced at Qing Guan, took out a piece of gold from his arms with a playful smile, and threw it at Yueniang's feet.
"My body is delicate and my flesh is expensive. There is nothing I can do about it."
The man in the brocade shirt said a word without beginning or end, and was helped into the carriage.
The man named A Li turned around and said solemnly: "This gold is enough to buy the carriage. You can go now - let me go!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping felt as if he had heard something great. He broke away from the people on his left and right sides, bent down to pick up the gold, winked at Yueniang, and escorted the young lady into the night.
Gu Qingguan's clenched hands loosened little by little, but her eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Ah Li got into the car, sniffed the smell in the air, frowned and said, "Master, this car smells of medicine."
"What a dog nose, I can only smell the fragrance of a woman. Take out the Night Pearl, this car is so dark, I don't like it!"
A Li took out two fist-sized night pearls from his baggage, and the car suddenly became much brighter.
The man in Xuanyi looked around and took a deep breath.
The spacious carriage was covered with Persian carpets, and the walls of the carriage were decorated with brocade-painted flowers and plants as the background. The flowers and plants were all made of gold leaves, with gemstones in the center, which was ingenious workmanship. In the corner, there were two ice basins, and fine sandalwood was burning in the white jade hollow cauldron, curling up.
As soon as Guidao got into the car, he felt very comfortable. It turned out that the car looked unremarkable from the outside, but there was nothing moving inside. It's so luxurious, I'm afraid it can't even compare to the car of the Prince of Beijing.
The man's beautiful eyebrows knitted together, he listened attentively and said, "Go down and see what's on this wheel?"
