Medical Road Fanghua

Chapter 2 Confrontation
As soon as Gu Ruoyao entered the Nuan Pavilion, she saw four cloisonné enamel ear stoves with copper bases in the corners of the Nuan Pavilion. The charcoal fire in the stove was flourishing, making the entire Nuan Pavilion as warm as spring, and it was a world away from the cold wind outside. .

A roomful of Yingying Yanyans surrounded an old lady in the middle, who was wearing a royal blue silk smock, looking at everyone kindly.

Everyone was silent when they saw Gu Ruoyao, and the old lady put away her smiling face, and slowly took a sip from the teacup.

Vanilla took two quick steps and took off the cloak for Gu Ruoyao.

"Granddaughter Ruoyao has met the old lady." Gu Ruoyao took two steps forward, Tingting bowed gracefully, turned her eyes, and blessed everyone, "Hello, aunts, and sisters."

After speaking, he stood quietly in front of everyone.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it was the time when parents doted on their mothers innocently, because they would leave the cabinet in a few years, but the girl in front of her was dressed in filial piety, her face was calm and calm, and there was no trace of the sadness of her father who had just died. The color of panic.

The old lady's embroidered handkerchief lightly swept the corners of her eyes, and after a while, her eyes turned red and she waved to Gu Ruoyao, "I'm sorry, come here, grandma, have a look, are you resting well these few days?"

Gu Ruoyao's eyes were also red, "Of course everything is fine when I get home, but I didn't come over to say hello to the old lady because she was not feeling well, which made the old lady worry."

After speaking, she walked to Jiang Shi's side, Jiang Shi pulled Gu Ruoyao over and looked around, feeling very distressed.

"Come on, sit next to grandma." After speaking, he said to everyone, "My eldest sister just came back, you aunts should take better care of her. If A Yao is wronged, I will not let you off lightly."

The second wife Ji, the third wife Jiang, and the fourth wife Zuo stood up one after another.

Gu Ruoyao's father, Gu Mingru, was the magistrate of Huaining County before his death. He came back once after Gu Ruoyao's mother had a dystocia.

This time he died unexpectedly, so Gu Ruoyao's second uncle went to pick up Gu Ruoyao's siblings back. Gu Mingru's funeral was also held in Gu's residence.

From their point of view, since Gu Mingru died, Gu Ruoyao's siblings would naturally stay in Gu's mansion from now on.

"It's rare for the eldest sister to come back. We are too happy to be happy, so we don't want to bully her." Gu Ruoxue, the second lady of the third room, obviously couldn't understand that this was a polite word from an adult, and was dissatisfied that everyone's attention was on Gu Ruoyao, pouting dissatisfied road.

Jiang's eyes were full of smiles, "You are the only monkey who talks a lot." After speaking, she squeezed a piece of pineapple cake and stuffed it into her mouth with a smile.

Gu Ruoxue hugged Jiang Shi's arm and acted like a baby, her proud eyes swept across Gu Ruoyao.

Gu Ruoyao smiled faintly.

"Brother Chen, have you gotten better these few days? But you're still arguing to find your father every night?" Jiang shi paused, and then asked concerned.

Gu Ruoyao sighed.

Although Brother Chen is still young, he is considered a magistrate, and he vaguely knows what death means, so he can't sleep peacefully every night these days, crying and clamoring to find his father.

But fortunately, Gu Ruoyao is not too worried for the time being with Mama Hu, Zhicao and others looking after her.

After thinking about it, he nodded, "He's gotten better these days, thank you, Madam, for your concern."

"Ayao has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and she still needs to take care of Brother Gu Chen. I'm afraid it's because she doesn't have the skills to separate herself?" The fourth lady smiled and said, "I heard that the medicine cabinet of Baicao Hall came over yesterday, and Ayao had no time to see him. Is there anything I can ask my fourth aunt to help with? Ayao, just say yes, it’s all a family, so don’t hesitate.”

Before the fourth lady finished speaking, Jiang made a face on purpose, "A mere one hundred thatched cottage is not worth the trouble of the eldest sister." After finishing speaking, she patted Gu Ruoyao's hand lovingly, "Just take care of Brother Chen and take care of it." Yes, the rest of the troubles will be handled by my grandmother and aunts."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Yao to speak, she said to the servant girl who was waiting on the side, "Go and tell the third master, and then send someone to Huaining County to bring over the medicine cabinet of Baicaotang." After a pause, he said, "Take this The account books of several years have also been brought, so you don’t need to look for the eldest lady, just ask the third master to take over, and say that the matter of Baicaotang will be taken over by the third master in the future.”

After finishing speaking, he talked and laughed with everyone.

The fourth lady clapped her hands while laughing, "That's the reason." The smile was the happiest.

After you sing, I will appear on stage, but in a few words, I made a decision for Gu Ruoyao.

It seems that Baicaotang is really not worth mentioning.

But after a lifetime, Gu Ruoyao knew that this was the critical time for fourth uncle Gu Minghai.

At this time, Gu Minghai, who was then Dingzhou Tongzhi, will be transferred soon because of his superiorship, and he knows that a further opportunity is in front of him, otherwise it is very likely that he will only be wasted in his current position for the rest of his life.

So he wrote a book to Jiang and convinced her.

After that, the Jiang family began to secretly sell their assets, and almost broke their fortunes, running for Gu Minghai.

But from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, although it is only a step forward, it seems like heaven, and I don’t know how many people can’t cross it in their entire life.

It is conceivable that there are not many people who want this position.

However, Gu Minghai, who was already a co-prefect of Dingzhou, obviously had a great advantage, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the point where he was desperate.

But now, Gu's mansion has almost become an empty shelf that is not useful.

The Baicao Hall, which was originally inconspicuous in Dafang's eyes, has become a must for the Jiang family. Even if it is not for Gu Minghai, but only for the chewing and chewing of the more than 100 people in the Gu family, she is also very concerned about the Baicaotang in Gu Ruoyao's hands. The thatched cottage is determined to win.

In the previous life, Jiang's calculation succeeded.

Not only did Gu Minghai win the position of governor of Dingzhou, Gu Ruoyao's siblings were also like birds whose wings had been cut off, and they were held tightly by her hands from then on.

But at the same time, because of this step forward, Gu Minghai led the Gu family into a place where there would be no redemption.

Let me ask, how could Gu Ruoyao let Baicaotang fall into Jiang's hands.

She straightened her cuffs and stood up slowly.

"Hold on."

Her voice was soft, and even had a bit of cuteness unique to girls of this age.

But no matter it was the maid who was about to go out, or everyone who was performing a harmonious trick in front of her, they couldn't help but pause, and everyone looked at her.

Jiang put away her smiling face, and looked at Gu Ruoyao with displeasure, "What are you doing?" At the same time, she coldly glanced at the maid who had stopped, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up!"

The little maid didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran out at a gallop.

After all, it is related to her family's major affairs, and the fourth lady was also afraid that something might go wrong, so she forced a smile and came over to smooth things over, "Look at you, what can't be said well, you have to make grandma angry, hurry up, make amends with grandma, this matter will be fine." It's over."

Gu Ruoyao chuckled lightly.

"Fourth aunt means that I was wrong?" After finishing speaking, he looked around at everyone, "Let's not say that Baicaotang is the only thought left by our deceased mother to our siblings, just say that Baicaotang's surname is not Gu but Lin. This point, this Baicaotang, Ruoyao can't make the decision and leave it to the third uncle."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Jiang frowned, "Since when did Baicaotang have the surname Lin? Your maternal grandparents have no children, and your mother passed away for five full years, so her dowry belongs to you and Brother Chen."

Jiang shi leaned towards Gu Ruoyao and talked eloquently, obviously planning ahead.

"Although your mother's dowry can be divided equally between your siblings, but after all, the married daughter poured out the water, so you still want to marry with your brother's relying on it?"
