Spring Girl's Notes

Section 411 Health

The snow and dust are endless, like catkins flying in the courtyard, curling up and falling.

Gu Jinzhi took the carriage and arrived at Xipinghou's Mansion.

The uncle was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping in his early years, and it was not until his grandfather got rid of his clothes that he chose another residence and built the current house.

Gu Jinzhi's carriage stopped at the gate.

It was snowing heavily, but the door was swept clean, and the servants kept busy.

Outside the gate, two majestic stone lions stand quietly, cold and gloomy, but spotless.

The vermilion pillars supporting the eaves of the door are brightly colored, heralding the prosperity of the owner's house.

The door under the eaves is brand new in color, the golden door cymbals are turned upside down, and there is a faint light.

Gu Jinzhi's carriage stopped, and the accompanying maid held an umbrella for her.

Several carriages had already parked at the door.

There was an endless stream of people who came to pay New Year's greetings to the uncle.

The servants at the door to welcome and see off guests are all neatly dressed in silk clothes.

Gu Jinzhi's bodyguard stepped forward to report his identity, and the servants warmly greeted him and asked Gu Jinzhi to invite him inside.The boy on the second door had already gone in to report to the eldest lady and grandmother Lin Manjing.

All the way from the gate to the vertical flower gate, there are women sweeping the snow all the time.

There are guests coming in and out.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know much about the people who came and went, so he just nodded and smiled slightly.

The same goes for guests.

Gu Jinzhi was held up by the accompanying maid and walked slowly inside.

When Gu Jinzhi walked to the door of Chuihua, the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother had already arrived.

Not seen for several years, suddenly reunited.Everyone looked at each other's eyebrows and eyes, and they were a little strange.

Gu Jinzhi saluted the eldest lady first.

The eldest grandma wanted to salute Gu Jinzhi, but Gu Jinzhi quickly supported her and said with a smile, "This is home. When I get home, I am the aunt of the Gu family. As long as the sister-in-law salutes the sister-in-law, there is no reason for her to be saluted by the sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, don't be like this..."

She finished speaking quickly, without waiting for Grandma's response.So I squatted down and blessed the grandma.

The eldest lady took advantage of the opportunity to support Gu Jinzhi, and said with a smile: "Sister Jin is still like this, she is being polite, but instead calls others unfamiliar, just like when she was a child..."

Gu Jin smiled.

A group of people went to the main courtyard of Da Furen to go to the room.

Both the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother are plump and fair-faced.The texture of the years is not obvious.It seems that time has not passed by them in recent years, and they still maintain young and smooth skin...

Gu Jinzhi watched with joy in his heart.

The family is doing well, and she is also happy.

In the east room of the upper room, the earth dragon is burning.Warm as spring.

There is a pot of wintersweet in the corner, with a faint fragrance.

The eldest lady lives in the east room of the banquet hall.There are several little girls waiting there.

When they came in, all the children stood up.

Gu Jinzhi looked at them in surprise.

The girl in the lead looks about eleven or twelve years old, and the half-old girl is tall and slender, wearing a silver-red silk tapestry jacket.The double bun is combed, and the eyes are like black gems.There was a bright light flowing, and she hid back a little shyly, but still secretly looked at Gu Jinzhi.

She looks a lot like grandma Lin Manjing.

The other three children looked like the youngest was three or four years old.

Gu Jinzhi and the eldest lady sat down, and the elder sister-in-law helped to bring tea, and then introduced these girls to Gu Jinzhi: "This is sister Xi, this is sister Tan..."

These four girls are all sister-in-law's daughters.

When Gu Jinzhi was still in the capital, Sister Xi and Sister Tan were born.In the following seven years, the eldest grandma gave birth to three more daughters for Gu Chenzhi, a total of five daughters.

The youngest was only [-] months old, and he didn't come here.

The eldest, Gu Xi, is more than a year older than Gu Jinzhi's two twin brothers, and is twelve years old this year.She has grown up and has the appearance of a big girl, slim and beautiful.

She was a bit shy, not sophisticated enough, but she kept the innocence of a little girl, Gu Jinzhi liked it very much.

After the eldest grandma finished her introduction, the Gu Xi sisters all smiled shyly, not daring to initiate a conversation with Gu Jinzhi.

Grandma asked Gu Xi, "Do you still remember Aunt Seven?"

Sister Xi smiled shyly, and called Qigu again in a low voice, saying that she remembered.

Gu Jinzhi took four purses from his arms and gave them to the children.

The children took the purse and thanked Gu Jinzhi one after another, very polite.

Grandma asked the children to go out: "Take the younger sisters back, next time I have time to go to Qigu's house to play..."

Gu Xidao said yes, holding the fourth child in his hand, with

The room was suddenly empty.

Gu Jinzhi said to the lady: "...Looking at your complexion, it's even better than when I left Beijing."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Your elder brother opened a pharmacy by himself, and he often bought us some nourishing herbal tea, and asked your sister-in-law and I to drink it every day, and it hasn't stopped in these years. The complexion is better, and the body is also comfortable. Thai."

Gu Jinzhi glanced at his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law's complexion is also good, her skin is white and red, and it can be broken by blowing bombs.She applied a little powder, and the color was very gorgeous.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and asked the elder brother: "Brother is not at home today? How is his pharmacy?"

"How can he be free at home? He took half of the inner court's offerings, and most of the medicines in the palace were supplied by him." The eldest lady laughed, "Your uncle despises his low-level livelihood and always asks him to close the shop." Yes. It was the empress dowager who issued a decree, saying that the Gu family's medicine is the best. She only takes the Gu family's medicine for her old man's illness, and it has been prescribed until today. If it weren't for the court worship, our house would not be enough for your elder brother to lose.. …”

"Brother is a prodigal?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "My elder brother is the most successful in the yamen in the capital. How can I say a prodigal? What my aunt said, I feel wronged for my elder brother..."

"You don't know the reason for this." The eldest lady smiled, although she said that Gu Chenzhi was a prodigal, but her tone was very pleased and proud, "As long as the poor people see a doctor in his shop, he doesn't want medical expenses from others.

Not to mention that the consultation fee was waived, he gave medicine to the poor.Seeing that people's livelihood is difficult, he still has a few coins to subsidize.all year round.Nothing good.If it weren't for the income from the offerings in the palace, the demolition of the house would not be enough for him to lose.People say that the silver that was enshrined in the court is white, but in his hands, it is all in vain.

For court offerings, he took half, and Qin Shensi took half.The Qin family made a lot of money, paid several dividends, and gave medicines to the poor.But it's only once a month, and it's more popular than your elder brother.

That's what people do.

Your elder brother is a prodigal..."

Saying that, the eldest lady laughed first.

Grandma laughed too.

From the attitudes of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Gu Jinzhi could tell that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very much agreed with Gu Chenzhi's behavior.He said that the elder brother was a prodigal, but he was very proud in his heart.

Court worship.The annual profit is huge, and it is a huge profit.

Gu Chenzhi didn't want to make money either, so he gave it away.

Gu Jinzhi remembered what he said about his ideals in the early years.He doesn't want to be rich and famous, he just wants to have a small medicine shop in the street or alley, if the poor old farmer gets medicine.He does not charge a consultation fee, and relieves people's sufferings.

his ideal.Is it realized now?

"Brother has the ambition to be a great doctor." Gu Jinzhi sighed, "If my grandfather knows about it, I will be pleased. The medicine of the Gu family is passed down to the family, and it will become famous all over the world in the hands of the elder brother."

This is true.Gu Jinzhi remembered that in the genealogy of the Gu family in later generations, it was Gu Ling who was originally famous all over the world and carried forward the Gu family lineage.

Gu Jinzhi thought, this is probably the beginning of the elder brother's accumulation of reputation, right?

"What is famous in the world?" The lady was also happy when she heard this.Still modest, "It's all about being poor and generous. Now your uncle is in court. The family can live on the salary, and let him be so prodigal. If outsiders don't know, who doesn't say he is a fool? His stupidity, pour into it." In the eyes of the empress dowager."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

It turned out that the Queen Mother was Gu Chenzhi's backing.

"...Dinning here at noon, I have already sent someone to call your elder brother and ask him to come back. Since you came to Beijing, he has also talked about it several times." The eldest lady did not boast too much about Gu Chenzhi, and the topic was just a little bit , Let's talk about staying with Gu Jinzhi for a meal.

Gu Jinzhi also wanted to see his elder brother very much.

Her plan today is to go to her aunt first, and then to her third sister-in-law to find out what her sister-in-law is saying.Gu Jinzhi still needs to inquire about Brother Xuan's sweetheart, Cai Yan.

If I stay with my aunt to eat, I am afraid that my third sister-in-law will not have time to go today.

And tomorrow, she has other things to do.

Gu Jinzhi hesitated.

It was still snowing heavily outside, Gu Jinzhi thought, after lunch later, he should leave early, there should be time.She wanted to see her eldest brother very much, so she said: "Then I will trouble my eldest aunt."

The eldest lady smiled and said she was being polite.

The maid refilled their tea.

Gu Jinzhi drank his tea slowly, and talked about the trivial matters at home with his aunt.

The eldest aunt asked about her child.

"...When the weather gets better, bring them here for us to have a look." The aunt said, "You have given birth to three sons in a row, what a blessing."

The grandma beside her had darkened eyes.

Gu Jinzhi thought that the eldest grandma had given birth to five daughters, and she must be very bitter in her heart, so she smiled slightly and did not answer the elder aunt's words.

The eldest aunt originally wanted to ask about Gu Jinzhi's eldest son's premature birth, but the daughter-in-law's face was slightly restrained, so she knew that the eldest grandma might be overwhelmed, and Gu Jinzhi just smiled and said nothing. .

About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps came from outside.

The leather boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the snow.

After a while, the eldest brother, Gu Chenzhi, was covered in snow, and entered the room breathing white.He stomped the snow off his feet and entered the house.

He came back in a hurry, didn't wear the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, just walked in through the heavy snow, his head and body were covered with snow, a lot of it turned into water, soaking his clothes and hair.

"Seventh Sister!" He shouted loudly, his voice was loud and powerful.

I haven't seen you for many years, and my eldest brother has also gained weight.He looks good, too, and is very energetic.His voice is loud and hoarse than when he was young, very magnetic.

He also grew a little mustache, more famous doctor demeanor.

Gu Jinzhi smiled, got up quickly, called "Brother", and went up to meet him.
