Medical skills help me win the arrogant husband

Chapter 26

Mrs. Gu said again: "Even if the son of the protector of the country robs his wife, there must have been no such rumors when he talked about the first marriage. But his first wife, although she came from a good background, was just a mother who lost her eldest daughter." The stepmother is the head of the family, and the eldest daughter who grew up under the hands of the stepmother, how can she become the wife of a dignified prince?"

It's not bad to lose the eldest daughter, but it's because of the lack of systematic discipline since she was a child. In terms of education, she is definitely not as good as a pro daughter who is taught by her mother herself.

Many well-behaved families would not marry their sons to their eldest daughters who lost their mothers.

Furthermore, nine out of ten prostitutes who grew up in the hands of their stepmother have obvious defects.

Because at least seven out of ten stepmothers are mean and abusive to their stepdaughters.

Otherwise, there would be no saying that "if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather".

This is probably related to patriarchal thought.

Because the man is both the husband and the father, he, as the head of the family, wields control over all the family's resources.

The stepmother was afraid that the children born to the ex-wife would compete with their own children for resources, so they suppressed the mean stepson and stepdaughter in various ways, so that they could not compete with their children or lose the competition. After the man died, he finally inherited the main property of the family.

There are also women who are born with selfish and narrow jealousy.

It is really strange that the son of the dignified protector of the country should marry the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother.

And this girl died unexpectedly not long after she got engaged to the Duke Protector's son.

As for Gu Fuyun, he was not conspicuous in the circle of noble women, and his reputation was not very good, and he had the reputation of plotting against Chu Rui.But she can still be loved and rewarded by Mrs. Chu.It was so abnormal.

The old lady looked at Gu Fuyun appreciatively: "Fifth girl, it seems that you have not been blinded by the superficial prosperity. Grandma is very pleased. However, it is too late for you to understand now, no matter whether the Chu family is a dragon's pool or a tiger's den , for the sake of your sisters, you will marry." There was a little pity on his face again.

There are only two people who can decide Chu Rui's marriage, the old lady who protects the country, and the wife who protects the country.

Now Mrs. Chu is in charge of Duke Huguo's mansion.

The rumor that Mrs. Chu favored the second son has never been broken, and because of this, she had many conflicts with the old lady who protects the country.

The kindness and generosity shown by Mrs. Chu today did not dispel the old lady's worries, but deepened her doubts.

Mrs. Chu's unreasonable love for the fifth girl, but ignoring the arrogance and acrimony of the fourth Miss Chu, is indeed inconceivable.

"When you see Miss Chu Si in the future, you have to be patient."

Gu Fuyun said: "Grandmother, you don't have to worry about your granddaughter. Didn't Mrs. Chu say just now that she was going to find Master Hongya to get the horoscopes of the fourth Miss Chu and Prince Wangbeihou? It's not far from getting married. I just need to respect a married sister-in-law."

The old lady nodded: "It's not good for you to think like this. You are a girl from the Yongningbo Mansion, so you must not fall into the pride of the Yongningbo Mansion. People ignore you, so don't go to your side."

……

Coming out of the old lady's room, Gu Fuyun did not go back to his own room to rest, but looked around the guest courtyard. Although the area was not big, it was enough for the four of them, grandparents and grandchildren, to live in as maids and servants.

The gate is inlaid with pear wood, although it is strong, the courtyard wall is not high, and those who know a little bit of martial arts or can climb can easily climb up.

"Miss, it's hot outside, won't you go back to the house for an afternoon nap?" Qingsi suppressed her yawn.She has to take a nap after noon every day, and she can't be shaken.It's past nap time now.

Qinghong glanced at Qingsi, and asked Gu Fuyun: "What's on your mind, girl?" The girl didn't have the joy of being rewarded by her future mother-in-law, she kept holding her purse, her face was cloudy and uncertain.Thinking about the girl's act of sending other purses just now, Qinghong knew that the purses given by Mrs. Chu must have other tricks.

Gu Fuyun took out the Dongzhu from the pouch, and asked Qinghong to find the pouch again, holding the empty pouch containing only herbs, and said to Qinghong, "Let's go to Master Hongya."

……

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Master Hongya was also taking a lunch break, and there was no one in the huge Buddhist monastery.

Even the little novice who was guarding outside Master Hongya's meditation room disappeared.

"Is Master Hongya here?" Gu Fuyun stood at the door and called softly.

No echo was heard, Gu Fuyun called again.

After a while, a little novice came out, recognized Gu Fuyun, clasped his palms together, and said, "The benefactor, please Haihan, the abbot is taking a lunch break, the benefactor, please come back later."

"When will Master finish his lunch break?" Gu Fuyun asked.

"It's about a quarter past hour."

"Okay, then I'll come back later."

Gu Fuyun turned around, and within two steps, another young novice's voice came from behind him: "The benefactor, please stay, the abbot is here to welcome you."

Gu Fuyun turned around, and happily entered the Zen room, it was such a joy to be so privileged.

Qinghong was a little dumbfounded, she had sold to other dignitaries before, even though it was not long, she had also heard about Master Hongya's reputation, he was Master Fangwai who even the dignitaries wanted to curry favor with , why are you so polite to your own girl?

Yesterday, when Gu Fuyun spoke with Master Hongya, he specifically reprimanded the two servant girls.

Therefore, Qinghong and Qingsi didn't know what kind of confusion their girl asked Master Hongya to solve.

Even more puzzled why master Hongya is so polite to his daughter.

Gu Fuyun entered the meditation room, and waited for a while, then Master Hongya came out, clasping his hands together: "Benefactor Gu, come to look for the poor monk at this time, but what is the urgent matter?"

Gu Fuyun didn't beat around the bush, and said to Grandmaster Hongya: "I have important personal matters and I need to ask Grandmaster for help."

Without further ado, Master Hongya cleared out all the young monks in the room and ordered people to guard outside the meditation room.Master Hongya took Gu Fuyun to the private room on the other side.

"Benefactor Gu, please take a seat." He personally brought her tea.

"Thank you, Master." Gu Fuyun took the tea and took out the red envelope from Mrs. Chu, "Master, please take a look."

Master Hongya took it and rubbed it carefully, the pouch tentacles are different, because the fabric is made of gauze, and it is double-layered gauze, there is a faint floral fragrance in the interlayer, and the aroma overflows when you smell it lightly.

Master Hongya sniffed it again and again, and said: "There are indeed geraniums here, as well as pepper, er, it seems to have the smell of eggs and flour. Geraniums do have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. As for the pepper, and other things The poor monk is not quite clear about its function."

Master Hongya has a little understanding of medical theory, but it is only at a half-baked level.It is rare to be able to smell geraniums.

Even the imperial physician in the imperial hospital may not be able to identify him.

Gu Fuyun took a deep breath, and said: "This is snake-luting powder. There are medicinal herbs in it, which are not available in the Qi Dynasty. If I hadn't been familiar with the Secretary of the World's Strange Story since I was a child, I would never have thought that it would be in the Qi Dynasty. , there is such a snake lure fan."

Nowadays, ordinary people spread snakes, most of them put bloody fish or corpses of mice and frogs into cages to lure and catch snakes. Snake lure powder is only available in Cambodia, because only there is the raw material for snake lure powder.

Unexpectedly, such a rare snake lure powder was actually put in this purse by Mrs. Chu, and it was only given to her as a meeting gift.

"Is this really a snake lure powder?" Master Hongya's expression also changed slightly.
