Chapter 13 Hematemesis
"Mommy, what's the matter with that little maid?" Gu Chongyang turned his head and looked at Nanny Wu sharply.

"What little maid, why didn't I see it." Wu Mama laughed and laughed, her perfunctory expression was very obvious: "Maybe it's the maid in this inn, our maids know the etiquette. After all, Botou Town is a small town. Some places, little girls are afraid of seeing people."

"But……"

"Miss, I bought a lot of things today. I don't know how happy Madam would be if she knew that you took the initiative to buy gifts for the ladies." Madam Wu thought that Gu Chongyang was a naive little boy, so she coaxed her with nice words: "Mom Mammy sees that the silk flowers you bought are so beautiful, can you reward Mammy with one?"

Gu Chongyang couldn't help pursing his lips.

She clearly saw that the little maid was wearing a lake-green gown just now, and the second-class maids in their family were all wearing that style of gown, how could they be from the inn?
The little maid looked around at the door and didn't say anything. When she saw them coming back, she neither stepped forward to help nor saluted, but ran upstairs.If it had been in the past, Nanny Wu would have scolded others a long time ago, but this time she talked about him, clearly prevaricating herself on purpose.

Since breakfast this morning, things have been strange everywhere.

If Gu Chongyang still can't see that this little maid is tricky, then she will have lived two lives in vain.

She couldn't help thinking of when she was fighting for favor with Chai Xiyue in her previous life, she also sent a little maid to watch the wind at the door.Once He Runnian came back, she and Chai Xiyue would act as if they were harmonious wives and concubines and sisters.

Could it be that this little maid is also a lookout?

I just don't know if this is what my father meant or what my mother meant.

They guard themselves like this...

Gu Chongyang looked up at his mother's room on the second floor of the inn, and his eyes darkened.

"Miss, are you reluctant?" Madam Wu teased with a smile: "Miss, Madam is going to be sad."

Looking at Nanny Wu's amiable smile, Gu Chongyang only felt upset.

They all treated themselves as children, and suddenly there was an anger of being fooled in her heart, and the words she said were hard: "It's just a few silk flowers, what are they worth? You can take them all if you like .”

As she said that, she didn't care if what she said just now would embarrass Madam Wu, so she kept a cold face and strode inside.

Nanny Wu didn't expect that Gu Chongyang would suddenly become rude, and she was indeed a little uncomfortable.But fortunately, she really loves Gu Chongyang, she only treats her temper as a child and takes it to heart.

However, Gu Chongyang held back his breath and strode in. Just as her feet reached the first step of the stairs, there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

"It's Chongyang who came back." The father's voice was very warm: "It can be regarded as coming back. Your mother is thinking about why you have been away for so long, and is about to send someone to find you. Have you had lunch yet?"

snort!Why worry that I've been away for so long, I'm afraid it's because I don't want to come back so early, right?Otherwise, why would you greet him personally!
When Gu Chongyang looked up, he saw his father had a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were full of love.

She couldn't help but startled.

Such a father was something she had dreamed of but could not have dreamed of in her previous life.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was silent, his father frowned slightly: "Did you not eat, are you hungry?"

While speaking, her father had already come down the stairs and stood by her side.

As soon as his father raised his hand, he wanted to touch her head. Gu Chongyang avoided his hand and ran upstairs: "I'm not hungry! I'm going to see my mother!"

Her footsteps were strong, and there was a thumping sound on the stairs.

Walking to the second floor, she turned her head and saw her father winking at Nanny Wu, and the two walked aside, talking furtively.

This feeling of being kept in the dark felt very uncomfortable to her, Gu Chongyang snorted coldly, and ran into her mother's room.

The mother was sleeping, but Gu Chongyang's footsteps were too heavy, so the mother opened her eyes.

"My daughter is back." The mother looked at her with loving eyes: "Are you tired after going out today? Is it fun outside?"

"It's not fun!" Gu Chongyang's voice was very crisp.

"Mother, I bought a lot of things, some as rewards for my servants, some for my cousins, and I even bought you a pair of pearl earrings." Gu Chongyang took out a small red earring from his armhole. The lacquer box was handed to the mother like a treasure.

A pair of red gold earrings inlaid with pearls shone warmly on the royal blue velvet cloth. Although the pearls were not very large, they were of a particularly fine color. Against the backdrop of gold, the pearls became more lustrous.

"Mother, I bought this specially for you." Gu Chongyang asked happily, "Do you like it?"

The mother was taken aback for a moment, and then there was an unconcealable surprise on her face.

"Ninny!" Mother nodded excitedly, her eyes gleaming: "I like it, my mother likes it very much."

My grandfather's family is a wealthy businessman in Nanjing, and my mother grew up in rich clothes and rich food. What kind of treasures have I never seen?

Now, it was just a pair of pearl earrings, and she was so happy, not because it was given to her mother by herself.

Looking at it, Gu Chongyang felt very sad and blamed himself.

In her previous life, she had never done anything for her mother.

Gu Chongyang made a bold statement to his mother: "Mom, when I return to the capital, I will make shoes and clothes for you myself."

The mother burst out laughing when she heard the words "puchi". Her daughter's color changed when she heard the word needlework. Now she is ten years old, not to mention making clothes, shoes and socks, even forehead wipes, fan covers and purses. won't do.Now, in order to make myself happy, I give myself shoes and clothes.

My daughter has become much more sensible about her own illness.

Her daughter has really grown up!
The mother was very emotional, and hugged Gu Chongyang and kissed her face.

Gu Chongyang put his arms around his mother, feeling her warmth. She was very attached to and cherished such a warm and beautiful time.

"Cough cough..."

With a burst of violent coughing, the mother had already pushed Gu Chongyang away, leaning on the edge of the bed and coughing loudly.

"Get the spit box!"

The mother's painful appearance made Gu Chongyang very worried. As soon as her words fell, a stream of scarlet blood spit out from the mother's mouth.

"Mother!" Gu Chongyang paled in shock, with a tear in his voice: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Heng Wu and Du Ruo also panicked, one came up to support their mother in a hurry, and the other ran out to find their father in disorderly steps.

Gu Chongyang's heart sank heavily, thinking of all the weird things today, a ridiculous thought came to his mind.

Could it be that the father laid hands on the mother...

When she thought of this possibility, her heart ached like a twist, and tears immediately came to her eyes.

There was a sound of eager footsteps in the room, accompanied by his father's worried voice: "What's wrong?"

Gu Chongyang raised his head and stared at his father intently.

The father's expression was very anxious. The moment he saw his mother vomiting blood, his face immediately turned white, obviously frightened.

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now?" Due to panic, his father's voice trembled a little, and his face was a little scary. He staggered and ran to his mother, and grabbed her hand: " Qiongzhi, how are you...how are you?"

Mother turned her head to look at father, and shook her head weakly.

"Hurry up, go and invite Li Xingchun to see the doctor." The father was very flustered, so he called the doctor by his first name and forgot to use his honorific title.

But for some reason, his father's panic made Gu Chongyang calm down, father, did not harm his mother.

Mother just vomited that big mouthful at the beginning, and then it turned into a thin and long line of blood, which gradually stopped.

Knowing that her father did not harm her mother, Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, but when her hand touched her mother's pulse, a surge of anger surged into her heart.

Mother, she still took the old doctor Li Xingchun's medicine!
She didn't listen to her own advice.

On the surface, she agreed to herself, but in fact, she ate the little green dragon soup behind her back.

If not, her illness would not have worsened so badly.

The old doctor Li Xingchun said that my mother was suffering from a cold in the lungs, so he prescribed warm medicine to dispel the cold.

In fact, it is not at all, the old doctor Li Xingchun misdiagnosed it!

The mother didn't suffer from the cold, but stayed up all night continuously, and her body was too tired, resulting in the imbalance of yin and yang in the lungs and damage to body fluid, which is why she coughed.As long as you rest more, drink plenty of water, and eat more pear ointment and bird's nest to nourish your lungs, you will heal naturally without any medicine.

It's like the fields are too dry because they don't get the nourishment of rain. At this time, as long as the nourishment of rain and dew is nourished, it will naturally restore fertility and grow crops.

But the old doctor Li Xingchun did not give her rain and dew, but set a fire to burn it. The land will only become drier and the cracks will become deeper and deeper.

The Xiaoqinglong Decoction he prescribed is a hot medicine like fire. The heat in the medicine agitates the blood in the lungs. Because the surface of the lungs is not nourished by body fluid, it becomes very dry. The blood can't hold on and rushes up directly, so Mother would vomit blood profusely.

In a short time, old doctor Li Xingchun was invited.

His entourage supported him, his eyes were half closed, and his whole body almost fell on the entourage.

Old Doctor Li smelled of alcohol uncontrollably, and his clothes were also wrinkled.

Obviously, he was drunk and just woke up from sleep.

From the time the little maid went out to the time when Old Doctor Li came in, it took only half a cup of tea.In such a short time, there was not even enough time to run to the door to prepare the carriage.

How could it be possible to go to a place other than Santiao Street and invite old doctor Li back?

That is to say, old doctor Li has been in the inn just now.

Are all the strange behaviors of father and mother today because of old doctor Li?
