Gu Changqing's face was cold, she picked up the medicine bowl, and gently fed Gu Yan the medicine.
Gu Changqing is the eldest brother. He has two younger brothers under him. Although he is not much older than them, whoever asked his mother to go early, the stepmother passed the door again. Only the stepmother and her pair of children were in the eyes of the father.
Some things cannot be given by servants, so he is still experienced in taking care of his two younger brothers.
Of course, Gu Yan was different from Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin. He was too weak, so he had to be careful, like a newborn kitten.
Gu Yan was in a daze, tasted the bitter taste, and pushed the spoon out with his tongue in disgust.
The medicine sprinkled a few drops on the back of Gu Changqing's hand.
Gu Changqing wasn't annoyed at all, he sat down beside the bed, lifted Gu Yan up and put a pillow behind him.
He scooped another spoonful and fed it to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan turned her face and tilted her head on the pillow, not drinking.
Gu Changqing should not be too experienced in dealing with such small things. There was candied fruit on the table. He brought a candied fruit and fed it to Gu Yan's mouth.
Gu Yan licked it, it was sweet, he wanted to eat it with his mouth open, but Gu Changqing stretched out the spoon and fed him the medicine.
Gu Yan, who was caught off guard by being given a mouthful of medicine, opened his eyes wide and looked confused!
When Gu Chenglin was a child, Gu Changqing gave him medicine like this, and he also had this small expression, but honestly, Gu Chenglin was not as cute as Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was hot, her cheeks were red, and there was a tuft of hair on the top of her head.
Gu Changqing couldn't help thinking of the little silly roe deer he saw when he went hunting.
In the future, I am afraid that I will never be able to face the prey like the silly roe deer again.
Gu Yan was a little stunned, seeing that Gu Changqing didn't react for a while, she thought she was dreaming, and then Gu Changqing finished feeding the medicine in a daze.
Gu Changqing rewarded him with a candied fruit.
He didn't eat it, but held it in his hand.
Gu Changqing was puzzled: "Why don't you eat?"
Gu Yan said aggrievedly: "If I wake up and the candied fruit is still there, I know I'm not dreaming."
He coughed so badly that his throat was hoarse. This sentence came out of his mouth, and he could hear his grievance without looking at his eyes.
Is it because you haven't come to see him these days
Gu Changqing was dumbfounded for a long time.
You don't know anything yet.
If one day you knew that I was the big brother who neglected you, hated you, and allowed you to be bullied by others when you were young, you would never say that again.
You wouldn't want to see me either.
Won't wait for me.
Gu Changqing looked at Gu Yan again, Gu Yan had already fallen asleep on the pillow.
He pulled the quilt to cover him, intending to leave, but as soon as he moved, he found Gu Yan's hand tightly tugging at his sleeve.
Gu Changqing stared at that hand for a while, then sighed helplessly, and sat back on the stool again.
This night, Gu Yan had a severe fever, and he had a heart attack, so he couldn't take antipyretics indiscriminately.
Gu Jiao put an ice pack on his forehead, and took two more quilts to freeze outside. When the quilts were frozen into an ice blanket, they brought them into the house and wrapped them around Gu Yan.
Gu Yan obediently wrapped the ice blanket, and Gu Changqing carried the quilt into his arms.
This temperature was just right for Gu Yan, but for a normal person it was like holding a big ice cube, and Gu Changqing's lips were white from the cold.
At dawn, Gu Yan's high fever finally subsided completely and did not repeat.
Gu Changqing dragged her already numb and stiff body back to the house.
Gu Yan is the most dangerous of the three children. If he is fine, then basically everyone is fine.
Yao Shi came once and learned about the illness of the three children. She was very anxious, but Gu Jiao did not allow her to enter the house because she had never had acne.
Today, Gu Jiao packed up and decided to go to the Hou Mansion to report Yao's safety.
The weather is good today, there is no wind, the sun is very strong, and it is warm on the body.
The servants in the mansion almost knew her identity, so she didn't dare to stop her, she walked in from the front door openly.
Yao's yard is really biased, you have to go through the second entrance, walk through the waterside garden, and go around half the mansion.
When Gu Jiao came to the waterside garden, she heard a melodious sound of the piano, which sounded very similar to the music that harassed her for half the afternoon in the medical center.
It's just a little smoother, and the sound quality of the guqin is purer.
"Sister Jinyu, you play really well."
In the pavilion with roller blinds, a girl in pink looked at Gu Jinyu sincerely and praised her.
Gu Jinyu stroked the strings and looked at the girl tenderly: "When you learn it, you can play it well."
The girl sighed, "But how can I learn it?"
Gu Jinyu smiled warmly: "When you are admitted to the women's school, you can learn it. The masters of the women's school are all the best masters in the whole Zhao country, and they are much better than the Mr. Xixi you hired at home."
The girl took Gu Jinyu's arm and said affectionately, "Then cousin wants to help me!"
Just now, she was still Sister Jinyu, but she changed her tune now.
Gu Jinyu patted her hand: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you well."
Gu Jiao didn't intend to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, it was really... It was too quiet here, and the two did not lower their voices at all.
Gu Jiao knew the girl, her name was Ling Shuixian, she was the grand-niece of Mrs. Ling, and she was a month younger than Gu Yan.
This time, the mansion intends to live for a long time. One is to do filial piety in front of Mrs. Gu, and the other is to ask Gu Jinyu for advice, hoping that she can help him pass the entrance examination for women's schools after the year.
Mrs. Gu loved this grandniece very much, and she had the idea of matching her with Gu Changqing, and promised her to live in the mansion.
As for whether she could get into women's school or not, it was not within Mrs. Gu's concern.
But Gu Jinyu was teaching her earnestly, just to give Mrs. Gu face. Mrs. Gu was very useful, and she became more and more fond of Gu Jinyu.
"Huh? Who is that?"
Gu Jiao had no intention of dating Ling Shuixian, but Ling Shuixian couldn't help but notice Gu Jiao at a glance.
No way, even if Gu Jiao didn't rely on that face, her clear and clean temperament was too eye-catching.
Gu Jinyu asked people to slap up the curtain, looked at Gu Jiao, and said, "That's my sister."
"Your sister?" Ling Shuixian frowned, "Which sister are you? Why don't I know each other?"
Gu Jinyu smiled bitterly: "Yan'er's twin sister."
"She." Ling Shuixian suddenly realized that, as the cousin of Ding'an Hou's mansion, she had naturally heard such important gossip.
She has long been wondering what the cousin who grew up in the country will be like, and when she sees it today, she is really not disappointed!
"It's too unruly. You don't even wear a veil when you go out, and you don't think you'll lose the face of the Hou Mansion by showing your face!"
The daughter of a noble family like them is very particular. For example, when she comes to her uncle's mansion, she will let people let down the curtains when sitting in the pavilion, so as not to damage the reputation of the girl's family.
Gu Jinyu smiled: "Cousin, don't say that, my sister has suffered a lot in the countryside, and it's life's compulsion to show her face."
Ling Shuixian suddenly asked, "Did she really feed pigs?"
"Ah?" Gu Jinyu was taken aback.
Ling Shuixian said in disgust, "How dirty!"
Ling Shuixian didn't hate Gu Jiao, she just looked down on Gu Jiao, she didn't look down on Yao Shi, Yao Shi's child was raised in the countryside for more than ten years, who knows what kind of scumbag they were raised
And that face, oh my god, what a big birthmark!
Ugly!
Ling Shuixian mocked: "I heard that she used to be a fool? Is she still stupid now?"
Gu Jinyu smiled: "Sister's stupid illness has been cured, cousin, don't say such words again, let's go say hello to my sister."
Ling Shuixian said in disgust, "I'm not going, I'm going to you!"
Gu Jinyu was definitely going. With so many servants watching, she couldn't be rude to her sister.
She walked out of the pavilion, came to Gu Jiao, called her sister affectionately, and then introduced, "...There is cousin Narcissus over there, would you like to come over and sit with us."
"No need." Gu Jiao refused.
Gu Jinyu was not surprised at all, but she still kept her with a smile: "Just sit for a while."
"No." Gu Jiao still refused.
Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes and lowered her voice: "Then elder sister, go to work, Jinyu will not disturb elder sister."
Gu Jiao walked away.
After walking a few steps, she didn't know what to think, she turned around and looked at Gu Jinyu: "I'm going to see Mrs. Do you want to come with me?"
This is the first time that Gu Jiao has actively invited Gu Jinyu.
Gu Jinyu was stunned.
The lady in her mouth must be the mother.
Is that what she calls her mother-in-law until now
Also, why did she suddenly invite her to go with her
It was rare for her to take the initiative to tell Gu Jinyu rationally that this was a good time to repair the relationship with her. If her mother saw her with her sister, she would be very happy.
But this meant that she had to leave Ling Shuixian behind.
Ling Shuixian is Madam Gu's heart, and all the three brothers in the house love her very much. If she gets along well with her, Madam Gu and her brothers will also treat her differently.
In the end, Gu Jinyu chose the latter between Yao Shi and Ling Shuixian.
Whether the mother coaxes or not coaxes her, she is the same, but the brothers need her constant efforts.
"I'm sorry, sister, I just promised my cousin Narcissus to give her homework, and I'll go to you and my mother after the tuition is over." She said sincerely.
Gu Jiao didn't say anything, she turned around and left.
Gu Jinyu returned to the pavilion.
Ling Shuixian asked, "What did you talk to her about for so long?"
Gu Jinyu said softly, "She asked me to go to my mother's side. I thought, I'll go after you finish tutoring."
Ling Shuixian was very satisfied that Gu Jinyu chose her.
Coincidentally at this time, Madam Gu's confidant in the yard came over with a food box, and she greeted the two of them: "Miss Biao, this is the medicine you ordered the servant to boil for the prince, you see... it's the old man. Will the slave deliver it for you, or do you deliver it yourself?"
Gu Changqing is ill.
He has always been in good health, but three days ago, he didn't know what was going on, and when he came back, he fell ill.
Mrs. Gu immediately notified her mother's family and asked Ling Shuixian to live in the mansion, saying that she was doing her filial piety, but she was actually looking for an opportunity to be courteous in front of Gu Changqing.
This medicine was not prepared by Miss Ling, but was prepared by Mrs. Gu, and what the confidant said inside and outside the words was to remind Ling Shuixian, hurry up and take the medicine to take care of the prince!
Ling Shuixian likes the big cousin very much, how could he not understand the arrangements of Mrs. Gu
"Give it to me, I'll deliver it myself!"
She took the food box.
After thinking for a while, he said to Gu Jinyu, "Would you like to go see Big Brother with me?"
Gu Jinyu's eyes lit up.
The eldest brother had been sick for a few days, and she had long wanted to visit, but she could not enter the eldest brother's yard.
Sure enough, he was right to reject Gu Jiao just now, the chance to please the big brother came so soon!
The two went to Gu Changqing's courtyard.
Unfortunately, Gu Changqing went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship.
When the old man was still in the mansion, he never allowed him to be lazy because he was sick.
He is an unlucky boy who has a high fever and has to practice martial arts and swordsmanship.
Ling Shuixian decided to wait for him in the yard.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Gu Changqing's return, Ling Shuixian could not sit still and began to walk around in the yard.
She is the cousin of the Hou Mansion. The old lady and the three young masters love her very much. The servants dare not say anything about her. They only remind her not to go to her son's study.
But he might as well not remind.
Ling Shuixian just went away.
As soon as she entered, there was a loud bang in the study.
Gu Jinyu's expression changed, and she walked quickly to the study: "Cousin! Are you alright?"
…
In the yard, Yao Shi saw her daughter.
She took her daughter's hand and sat down on the kang head of the warm pavilion.
"You've lost weight." She said distressedly.
Taking care of three sick patients, not eating well or sleeping well, Gu Jiao did lose some weight.
"Are they alright?" Yao shi asked.
"It's okay." Gu Jiao said.
The three little patients were alive and kicking, but they were still contagious, so Gu Jiao kept them at home.
Yao shi felt relieved: "Thanks to you, otherwise, with Yan'er's body, I'm afraid this disease will not be able to survive."
Gu Yan's body could even die from a small cold, let alone a pimple.
Yao Shi understands that her daughter has made countless efforts in places where she can't see, so that her son has a body ten times healthier than before.
This time, it must be the daughter's careful and careful attention that allowed her son to recover so quickly.
Gu Jiao hesitated.
The mother and daughter were talking, and suddenly a little maid came in hastily: "Madam, eldest miss, it's not good! Second miss has an accident!"
