152. Plague in the south of the city
Naturally, Gu Qianxue didn't know what a crane cloud pendant was, nor did she know what this exquisitely carved jade pendant meant or what it represented.
Besides, no matter how valuable it was, she never thought of keeping it private, this jade pendant was just a mortgage, threatening Su Lingxiao to cherish herself.
Even decades later, when Gu Qianxue recalled what she did that day, she would still be amazed at why she racked her brains only to protect the life of a person who didn't have much friendship. Her understanding is that maybe it's the professional habit of a doctor, or maybe it's because she was too lonely when she traveled to Nanyue country, and she wished that everyone around her who was kind to her could live forever and not leave easily.
She would never have thought that because of this He Yunpei, she would have been entangled with Su Lingxiao for the rest of her life.
After borrowing Pan Xiaopeng, Gu Qianxue took Yulian and Yucui to follow Pan Xiaopeng to the house.
The layout of the capital city of Nanyue Kingdom is very imaginative with that of ancient China.
The center of the city is where the imperial city is located, and then with the imperial city as the center, the capital is divided into "rich in the east and rich in the west, cheap in the north and poor in the south".
Dongfu refers to many rich and wealthy businessmen; Xigui refers to high-ranking officials and nobles; Beijian refers to low-level jobs, such as theaters, brothels, and many sundry markets; and Nanpoor does not describe Extremely poor, but the living quarters of ordinary people.
The largest area in the entire capital is the living area of the southern people. Of course, there are also real slums in this living area.
Because of Pan Xiaopeng's "high-paying" job, although his mother is seriously ill, his life is still passable. The house at home is neat and tidy, and the yard is also tidy.
In Pan Xiaopeng's house, there are stone walls around the house and a wooden door on the front. After entering the wooden door, you can enter the yard. The yard is a dirt road, but there is a path made of stones from the wooden door to the door of the two houses.
There are three houses in the center, two large and one small. The big one is for living, and the small one is for kitchen and warehouse.
Among the two houses for living, one is lived by Pan's mother, and the other is lived by Pan Xiaopeng.
It can be seen that the house on the east side belongs to Pan's mother, because the whole house has been repaired extremely meticulously, with thick edge paper on the windows, and many cloth strips around the door to keep out the cold evening wind.
In contrast, the houses on the west side are more casual.
Gu Qianxue's impression of Pan Xiaopeng was even better.
"Miss Gu, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." Then, Pan Xiaopeng ran to the east room, first knocked lightly twice, and said respectfully, "Mother, I'm back." Then he opened the door and entered, and then Close the door carefully.
Gu Qianxue and Yulian Yucui waited quietly in the yard.
Not long after, Pan Xiaopeng came out of the house with a grateful face, "Miss Gu, please come in, the house is simple, I hope you don't dislike it."
Gu Qianxue smiled and nodded, "It's okay." After saying that, she brought Yulian and Yucui inside.
After entering the room, Gu Qianxue found that, as Pan Xiaopeng said, it was extremely shabby, without even a decent piece of furniture. But the cleaning is extremely clean, the setting sun in the afternoon shines into the room through the window edge paper, with the scent of medicine, but it has a warm feeling.
"My family met Miss Gu..." Mother Pan said as she was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Gu Qianxue and pushed her back on the bed.
"Auntie, don't be too polite, you are weak, don't get out of bed easily, it will be bad if you catch a cold." Gu Qianxue said softly.
Mother Pan naturally heard Pan Xiaopeng talk about Miss Gu Shangshu's family early on. In the eyes of ordinary women like her, this kind of official lady is as high as the statue in the temple, but she never thought that she saw it with her own eyes. Miss Gu is so amiable.
"Miss Gu's great kindness to our Pan family, the slave family will not be able to repay it even if it is a cow or a horse. Even if the slave family loses ten years of life, I hope Miss Gu's life will be safe and auspicious." Pan's mother said while falling Tears, voice trembling with gratitude.
Gu Qianxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, it's your fault. I'm working hard to heal you, but you want to shorten your own life. Isn't that a waste of my efforts?"
I couldn't help but say in my heart that the people of Nanyue country really regard death as home, and none of them care about their own lives.
A joke by Gu Qianxue frightened Pan's mother, and she struggled to get out of bed to greet her, "No no, Miss Gu, you misunderstood, I really... really don't mean that..."
"..." Gu Qianxue had no choice but to push Pan's mother back on the bed, "Auntie, you are the one who really misunderstood. I was just joking. Pan Xiaopeng knows that I often joke." As she spoke, she winked at Pan Xiaopeng.
Pan Xiaopeng hurriedly said, "Yes, mother, Ms. Gu is a very kind person, she is kind and has no airs."
Pan's mother gave Pan Xiaopeng a hard look, "No matter how arrogant you are, you are still a noble person, we can't be rude."
"Yes, mother, what you taught me is right." Pan Xiaopeng immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Gu Qianxue could only accept this kind of native Nanyue people who were deeply influenced by feudal ethics, "There is not much time, auntie, lie down, and I will treat you."
Pan's mother lay back on the bed obediently, but her eyes were full of gratitude.
Gu Qianxue first checked the pulse, and then used the improved self-made stethoscope to listen to Pan's mother's heart and lungs.
She took off the receiver on her ear and said with a smile, "How does Auntie feel about her breathing recently? Is it smoother than before?"
Pan's mother hurriedly said, "Yes, thanks to Ms. Gu, my coughing has decreased recently, and I haven't coughed up blood for three days. I used to wake up often when I slept at night, but now I can sleep until dawn at night. Ms. Gu His medical skills are too good!"
Pan Xiaopeng said with a smile, "Mother, of course Miss Gu's medical skills are excellent, even the concubine Qin's illness can be cured, let alone your illness."
Pan's mother was very surprised, "Concubine Qin's illness has been cured? Is it really cured?"
It can be seen that the concubine Qin was suffering from a strange disease and recruited famous doctors from all over the world, and almost everyone in the world knew about it.
Pan Xiaopeng said, "Yes, mother, I didn't tell you before, although Ms. Gu has never admitted that she cured her, but I bet with my head that it must be Ms. Gu who cured me. I have never seen anyone except Ms. Gu. Who's medical skills are so amazing!"
Gu Qianxue said, "Auntie, don't listen to Pan Xiaopeng's nonsense. In fact, my medical skills are really average. The reason why your illness has recovered so quickly is thanks to Pan Xiaopeng's use of the best medicine to maintain your condition. I just heard you The sound of your lungs, although you have been sick for a long time, your lungs have not been damaged too much. If there were not so many good medicines at that time, once the lungs were damaged, they would not be able to recover for life."
Mother Pan and Pan Xiaopeng were taken aback.
No matter what, Gu Qianxue was very happy because the penicillin finally had an effect. This is also an individual experiment, it would be even better if we could find a plague-infested area!
At this moment, Pan's mother said emotionally, "It's my luck. I met Miss Gu, but I don't know what happened to my old sister's family."
Gu Qianxue was puzzled, "Auntie, what happened to your sister?"
Pan's mother sighed, "Miss Gu doesn't know something. Many refugees have come to the south of the city, and now there is a plague. The old sister of the slave family lives in the south of the city, but she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive."
