Spring Girl's Notes

In April in Yanling, the flowers gradually faded.

Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother Gu Xuanzhi sat on the Kang and ate peaches.Listening to her parents talking about her aunt's condition, she gradually lost interest and turned her gaze out of the window.

She saw her eldest aunt today, it was not a serious illness, she would be cured if she took the right medicine.

The brocade window is half open, and a cherry tree under the window is full of pink cherry blossoms.The wind blows, and the gorgeous and strong fragrance slowly spreads, and the ground is full of light crushed pistils.

The sunset is lazy, reflecting the golden curtain hooks hanging brocade curtains, shining golden light.The brocade curtain is soft and silently lying in the curve of the curtain, silently.

Yu Hui watched, his younger brother's eyes that were clearer than Qiushui sparkled with luster, he tried hard to gnaw on the peach, with the expression of a little pet.

Gu Jinzhi liked his younger brother very much.

"...Brother said that sister-in-law misses sister Jin and brother Xuan. This must be an excuse." Mother's topic shifted from her natal sister-in-law to Gu Yantao's letter, "We have been in Yanling for six years. If you don’t write a letter, why do you want us to take the child back to Beijing to have a look this time?”

Father shook his head.

Yesterday, they received a letter from the uncle Gu Yantao in the capital, asking their parents to take the elderly and children back to Beijing, saying that the family misses the old man and Gu Jin's family very much.

Mother didn't believe it at first.

Uncle Gu Yantao was not so kind.

"Do you want to go back?" Seeing that his father was silent, his mother suddenly asked him.

Although Yanling is his father's ancestral home, his father grew up in the capital. He was not used to Yanling's diet in the past few years, and it has gradually improved in recent years.

Beijing is my father's hometown.

My mother is from Yanling, where she grew up.It is the best thing to be able to return to my hometown by serving the old man.

Mother didn't want to go back to Beijing.

"The next year will be Chunwei. It's not bad to be able to go back to study and not have to travel back and forth during Chunwei." Father said after a while.

He is 30 years old. At the age of 22, he passed the Juren examination.It's just that in the past few years, his studies have not improved, and he has been unable to enter school.

In the spring of the next year, my father will definitely participate.

"You don't want to go back?" After the father finished speaking, he found that the mother was silent and did not answer.

Mother knew what father was thinking, and the uncle's letter made father want to move back to the capital.The question she just asked was just to test him.After confirming, the mother hesitated.

Of course she didn't want to go back.

"No." The mother lied, "We came to Yanling to serve the old man. If the old man doesn't leave, it's not easy for us to leave. From what the old man said, it's probably because I'm used to living in Jiangnan and don't want to go back to Beijing... .”

Father showed some helplessness.

"Mother, where are we going?" Gu Xuanzhi asked suddenly.

He went south with his parents when he was one year old, and has been in Yanling since then, not remembering the capital at all.

The mother looked back at Gu Xuanzhi, with a look of doting on her face, and hugged him into her arms, carefully wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and wiped away the peach juice that he gnawed.

"The capital." The mother coaxed Gu Xuanzhi with a smile, "Brother Xuan, do you want to go to the capital?"

Father also looked at with a smile.

Gu Xuanzhi was a little at a loss, he looked at his parents blankly, and then asked Gu Jinzhi: "Seventh sister, do you want to go back?"

He threw the question his mother gave him to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi is the eldest daughter in the third room, but she has two uncles and six cousins.In terms of sequence, she was ranked seventh, so the family called her Seventh Girl, and her two younger brothers called her Seventh Sister.

"I don't want to." Gu Jinzhi said.

She also stayed in the capital for six years.The six years from birth to toddler were not so boring, but certainly not very interesting memories.

Back in the capital, the whole family lives together, not to mention the crowds, the people coming and going, and things going on, Gu Jinzhi doesn't like it.Like now, the family of grandfather, parents and younger brother is better, more like the family structure of later generations.

Gu Jinzhi likes this.

Her parents laughed when they heard her answer.Just like ordinary parents, Gu Yanzhen and Mrs. Song dote on their children very much.They will be delighted to hear their funny answers.

The father even asked Gu Jinzhi amusedly: "Why don't you want to? The capital city is much more fun than Yanling."

The prosperity of the capital is unmatched by Yanling.

"That's you." Gu Jinzhi said, "I can't go out, and I can't have fun!"

Father was taken aback.

Mother just laughed.

Gu Xuanzhi also giggled.

Father couldn't help but also laughed.

The house is full of joy and warmth.

Just talking and laughing, the maid from the outside came in and said: Aunt Hong brought her nine-year-old concubine brother Gu Xiuzhi to pay her respects.

The silver-red felt curtain was raised, and Aunt Hong, who was wearing lotus-colored makeup and flowered beanie, led Gu Xiuzhi in, and saluted father and mother respectively.

The mother was still holding Brother Xuan, but the warm smile on her face was mostly gone.

She didn't like Aunt Hong very much.

Aunt Hong's original name was Hong Lian, and she used to be her mother's dowry maid, and her mother trusted her the most.Later, all the maids around her were released, and only Hong Lian was left, planning to find a good home for her.

But Hong Lian climbed onto her father's bed.

Gu Jinzhi was two years old when he learned that Hong Lian was pregnant.Seeing her mother crying and making noise, she forbade her father to approach her and Jin Zhi, drove her father to sleep in the study in the outer courtyard, and forced her father to sell Hong Lian.

My father agreed, and even went to call Ren Yazi himself.

When the eldest aunt and the second aunt saw that the couple were messing around, they joined hands to persuade them.

Mother didn't let go.

It was a hell of a day.

Hong Lian was sent to Zhuangzi.

At that time, the eldest aunt thought that if Hong Lian gave birth to a daughter, she would take over the child and send Hong Lian away.But Hong Lian's fate was good, she gave birth to a son.

Regardless of the mother's crying, the eldest aunt took Hong Lian and her son back.

My mother also gained a notoriety of being aggressive and jealous, and became a joke that year.

But from then on, the father didn't dare to look at Hong Lian's mother and son, and the lives of Hong Lian's mother and son were in the mother's hands.

Later, Gu Jin's family left the capital.

Where did the mother fail?

She wins!

Life is like a fish drinking water and knowing how warm it is, and my mother has always been unwilling to compromise.

Today's Aunt Hong is docile and well-behaved, respectful in front of her mother.If it's not such a fuss, why is it so?

"Hai Tang, go get some more peaches for the Eighth Young Master to eat." Mother ordered the maid beside her lightly.

Gu Xiuzhi ranked eighth.

The peaches were served, and Gu Xuanzhi also wanted to eat them.

Gu Xiuzhi lives with Aunt Hong, except for three meals a day, nothing else.What a coincidence, the mother never gave them.

The mother was very doting and gentle towards Gu Jinzhi's siblings, but she was a little harsher towards Aunt Hong's mother and son.Gu Jinzhi thought, her mother, Song Pan'er, is definitely not a nice person!

Seeing the peaches, Gu Xiuzhi was also greedy.

Gu Jinzhi took the crystal plate that Haitang brought in, but refused to give it to the two younger brothers.

Gu Xuanzhi pouted.

Gu Xiuzhi hid behind Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong's eyes flashed with pain.

"... peaches swell your stomach, eating them will hurt your food." Gu Jinzhi first said to Brother Xuan, "You have already eaten one, so you can't eat any more."

Then, she said to Gu Xiuzhi, "Brother Xiu, you vomited yesterday, did you take the medicine I prescribed for you? You vomited because your stomach qi was out of balance, and your qi went against the top. You vomited after eating peaches. Not good. You take two more doses of medicine, and I'll ask someone to give you the peaches after you've finished."

Gu Yanzhen glanced at her daughter.

He also knew that Gu Xiuzhi vomited the day before yesterday, and Jinzhi prescribed the medicine, and he was fine after taking the medicine.

He also thought that Jinzhi was touching randomly.

Unexpectedly, she is really clear.

It makes sense.

Gu Xiuzhi hesitated, and asked a little timidly: "Really just need to take two more doses of medicine?"

Jinzhi nodded.

Gu Xiuzhi showed a smile, pure and free of impurities.After all, he is only a nine-year-old child, and there is still some innocence.

"Brother Xiu, why don't you thank Miss Seven?" Only now did Aunt Hong realize that she had misunderstood Jinzhi, and hurriedly pushed Gu Xiuzhi to thank Jinzhi.

The mother hated Aunt Hong, mother and child, and never stopped; the father had no feelings for Aunt Hong, but it was just a one-night relationship, and he was afraid of his mother's anger, so he was as indifferent to Aunt Hong, mother and child as strangers.

Gu Xuanzhi is only seven years old, he doesn't understand love and hate.

Gu Jinzhi was even more indifferent.

However, the last time she saw Gu Xiuzhi's complexion was not right, the doctor instinctively asked Aunt Hong if Gu Xiuzhi was vomiting.

Aunt Hong heard that Gu Jinzhi often treated the family maid and even Brother Xuan, so she took the opportunity to ask Jinzhi to prescribe Gu Xiuzhi's medicine, and to get close to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi opened it.

Gu Xiuzhi's vomiting wasn't a big deal at first, and he was cured soon.

Aunt Hong used this as an excuse to get close to Jinzhi everywhere.

Just like it is now.

Gu Xiuzhi listened to Aunt Hong's words very much, and said to Gu Jinzhi, "Thank you, Seventh Sister."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Haitang took the peach down again.

The mother said to Aunt Hong: "Brother Xiu is not in good health, you need to take care of him more. Don't come here to pay his respects for a few days."

Aunt Hong respectfully said yes.

The mother let them go out with their mother and son.

Nine-year-old Gu Xiuzhi has been with Aunt Hong for a long time and is a little timid.

The father watched, feeling unbearable, and told his mother to ask her to take brother Xiu to her side to take care of her.But thinking of the mother's hatred for Hong's mother and son, he swallowed the words again.

He dare not mention it.

As soon as Hong's mother and son left, the mother's mood immediately improved.

After dinner, Gu Jinzhi's siblings went back to their rooms.

Gu Jinzhi went to his grandfather's study to hand in today's homework.Recently, she not only recited various medical scriptures, but also read the Five Classics, Three Histories, and hundreds of schools of thought.

As the saying goes: "Scholars who learn to practice medicine are quick to cut salty meat".Only by mastering the classics can you hold the key to attacking medicine, otherwise, if you want to climb high without a ladder, and want to cross a river without a boat.

Gu Jinzhi didn't feel tired, he had learned all these things in his previous life.

The grandfather in the previous life always said: Medicine comes from Confucianism, if you don't read and understand it, it will be vulgar and ignorant in the end, and you can't dredge changes.

Many of the prescriptions are old sayings, and the classics and history subsets are one of the basic skills for the Gu family to learn medicine.

Therefore, the grandfather Gu Shifei in this life always said that she was born with intelligence, a medical genius descended from heaven.

If you think about it carefully, you are right.

Who has the memory of two lifetimes, isn't he considered a genius?

After handing in the homework, Gu Jinzhi went back to his room to rest.

The days passed quietly for a few days.

On the tenth day of April, my mother was thinking about my aunt's illness, and asked Mama Song to go and see her.

Mother Song went and came back and said to her mother: "Your maidservant doesn't look very well, my uncle and wife have lost a lot of weight, and they don't have much strength to talk while lying down."

Mother was surprised.

She knew that sister-in-law's hot heart would sooner or later be quelled with ice.

After changing her clothes, she told Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi's nanny to take good care of Gu Jinzhi's siblings, and her mother took Mother Song to visit her aunt's house.
