Chapter 15 Decoction
"Of course I believe." The mother reached out her hand, wanting to touch her little face, but when she reached the air, she withdrew her hand as if remembering something: "You can help me cure my illness, but you have to promise mother that you won't be able to enter mother's room in the future." Come in the room, you still have to listen to Madam Wu, you know?"

"I know!" Gu Chongyang agreed crisply.

A gratified smile appeared on the mother's face, and Nanny Wu knelt on the ground choked with sobs, and kowtowed to her mother: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of Miss, and I will never disappoint your entrustment."

"Okay!" Mother smiled weakly: "Chongyang, you go out, I have something to say to Nanny Wu."

Since she was reborn, her mother has always called her Daughter, and it was the first time she called her by her name like this.

The mother looks like this, she is clearly asking for help!

It seems that my mother believed what old doctor Li said and thought she had tuberculosis, so she didn't want to let her get close.

She just listened to her mother and reassured her.After her mother took her own medicine, she would believe that she was good at medicine, so she didn't lie to her.

Right now, nothing is more important than my mother's illness.

Gu Chongyang nodded and walked out without saying a word.

She thought of her previous life, when her mother died, she was not by her side.

In the 14th year of Jianxing, on the eighth day of November, the eldest aunt's natal mother, Mrs. Linjiang Hou, celebrated her birthday.She and all the sisters wore red and green clothes, and went to Linjianghou's mansion early in the morning with her aunt.

Linjiang Hou's Mansion is the natal family of the eldest aunt, and the maternal ancestral home of the eldest sister.It was rare for the eldest aunt to go back to her mother's house when she was hosting the Gu family, so they stayed very late that day.They didn't return to Gu's house until evening.

When she returned home, what was waiting for her was not her mother's greetings, but a cold coffin.

She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time.

Mother is dead!Nanny Wu, who loved her dearly, also died.

Others said that the mother died of an illness and died suddenly, while Nanny Wu had a deep relationship with her mother, and died by hanging herself.

She was ignorant and ignorant at that time, and knew nothing but crying for her mother.

But today, seeing her mother Tuogu, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.

The mother loved her dearly, and even though she knew that she was dying of tuberculosis, she still missed her and entrusted her to Nanny Wu.

It doesn't make sense for a mother to do this in this life, but she didn't leave a word in her previous life.

There is also Nanny Wu, she is the mother's nurse, she regards her mother as her own daughter, and loves herself very much.

The mother died, and the father was an upright man, so he must be reborn.As the mother's old man, Madam Wu has great responsibilities. Shouldn't she take care of her health, raise herself up well, and prevent herself and her mother's dowry from falling into the hands of the stepmother?How could she seek death?

Since Nanny Wu is not even afraid of death, it can be seen that she is very loyal.Such a loyal Nanny Wu, after her mother's death, did not take care of her mother's remains, but chose to die for the master, and handed over the young master to the stepmother, and let her be tortured.

Gu Chongyang felt that he couldn't figure it out!
Did something happen in the previous life that I didn't know about?My mother died of an illness, but no one seemed to be able to tell what the illness was.

Gu Chongyang sighed, he only blamed himself for being ignorant and ignorant in his previous life, and didn't understand anything.

She never had a chance to figure out the questions from her previous life.

Because in this life, my mother will not die, but will watch me grow up in peace and health, watch my father get promoted step by step, the husband and wife are noble, and live a life of peace and happiness.

Gu Chongyang clenched his fist and decided to treat his mother.

My mother's illness was not particularly serious, but she took the wrong medicine. If she didn't treat it quickly, she would become lung disease.

Fortunately, old doctor Li Xingchun was afraid of death, so he didn't come up to take his mother's pulse. If he did, he would never say that his mother had tuberculosis.

So, she wanted to make medicine for her mother right away.

The yin qi in the mother's lungs was hurt so badly that Yin-nourishing medicine had to be prescribed immediately.

Gu Chongyang already had a prescription in her mind, she went back to her room, wrote down the prescription, and then took the medicine according to the prescription.

Boiling medicine is very important, she didn't want to leave it to others, so she watched it in the kitchen herself.

The kitchen is in the small yard behind the inn.

Gu Chongyang carried the medicinal materials in a basket and came to the kitchen.

In the open space in front of the kitchen, two or three boys aged twelve or thirteen were chopping wood.

They were dressed in rags and were sweating profusely. When they saw Gu Chongyang approaching, they all stopped their work and looked at Gu Chongyang.

In Gu Chongyang's eyes, they were all children.Therefore, she smiled at them kindly, took out three or four pieces of caramel from her purse and handed them to them: "Take it and eat."

Under Gu Chongyang's gaze, the boys were a little embarrassed, and even lowered their heads in shame.

"Take it!" Gu Chongyang said: "This caramel is very sweet."

A young man with dark skin and bright eyes walked up to Gu Chongyang and squatted down, stretching his hands on the ground: "We are dirty and dare not take things from the nobleman. You should throw the candy on the ground, nobleman."

Gu Chongyang was a little surprised, this guy really has a wink!

She smiled slightly, and dropped the candy down one by one, and the candy landed firmly in the boy's hands.

"Thank you for the reward!" The boy grinned, grabbed the candy and walked to the firewood, and said to the other two boys: "There are four in total, each of us has one, and the remaining one is mine too." , even if it’s my hard-working errand expenses.”

"How can this be done?" The two boys disagreed, "You just said a few auspicious words."

The little guy immediately raised his hands high: "If you don't agree, I won't share the candy with you. All the candy belongs to me! Since you can say auspicious words, go tell the nobleman, if the nobleman gives you candy , I don’t want yours either.”

The two young fellows looked at each other after hearing this, and they were all defeated: "Okay, it's up to you, I'll give you two."

What a clever man!
In the kitchen, Gu Chongyang heard the sound of them haggling over sugar, and his heavy heart eased a lot.

"Miss, what do you need me to do for you?" Luwu was a little surprised seeing Gu Chongyang's proficiency in brewing medicine, lighting a fire, and decocting medicine.

Gu Chongyang looked after the stove very patiently without raising his head: "You take 20 taels of silver and buy half a basket of fresh lotus roots from the innkeeper."

"Miss, how can there be fresh lotus roots in this season?" Lu Wu was a little embarrassed: "Even if there are, they are all in the mud. The weather is so cold, and no one goes down to fish them."

"That's why I asked you to take 20 taels of silver." Gu Chongyang then raised his head to look at Luwu with a stern expression: "20 taels are not enough, so I will give you 40 taels, and 40 taels are not enough, so I will give you 100 taels. Those who are willing to go down and fish lotus roots from the mud."

"Miss, why do you have to use lotus root!" Lu Wu persuasively said, "Can I change it to something else?"

Gu Chongyang stared at her intently: "If you don't want to go, just tell me directly, I will find other ways, don't bargain with me."

Luwu was taken aback by Gu Chongyang, and hurriedly said: "I'll go ask Nanny Wu!" After speaking, he ran away.

Gu Chongyang sat down discouraged.

Luwu and Qingzhi are very obedient, but they are listening to their mother or Madam Wu, and it is too much trouble to ask them to do things by themselves.

If I want to walk in the inner courtyard in the future, I must have someone who can order me to move.

If every day in the future is like today, she will be bored to death.

It's too bad that the people in her yard are not with her.

Fortunately, Lvwu and Qingzhi are both 15 years old, and have reached the age of marriage.After returning to the capital, I asked my mother to find a good family to marry them, and then bought a few little maids to come back and train them slowly.

She didn't believe that she couldn't find someone handy.

After the death of his mother in the previous life, many people took refuge in his stepmother, only Luwu and Qingzhi stayed by his side. Gu Chongyang was grateful for this friendship.

But after being reborn, what she needs is not protection or coaxing like a child, what she needs is execution and loyalty.

He only listened to her, Gu Chongyang, and was loyal to Gu Chongyang alone.Only such a maid is what she needs.

"Miss! You give me 20 taels of silver, and I promise to get you a basket of fresh lotus roots."

A clear voice came from behind.

Gu Chongyang turned his head in response, and saw the dark-faced boy standing at the door with firewood in his arms and smiling at him.

"Can you get fresh lotus roots?" Gu Chongyang asked him with great interest: "You are so short, if you jump into the pond, the water will cover you, how do you pick lotus roots?"

"Miss, don't worry about how I pick it, you give me 20 taels of silver, and I promise to bring you the lotus root before dark."

"But, why should I trust you!" Gu Chongyang asked him: "For a boy like you, I can buy one for five taels of silver. If I buy more, the price can be even cheaper. For 20 taels of silver, you can buy one There are four or five young men like you. I gave you the silver, what if you run away with the silver? Wouldn’t I be empty of money by then?”

what?
The little boy was dumbfounded, and scratched his head helplessly, as if he was racking his brains for a solution.

"Miss, my name is Zaozi. I grew up eating a lot of food. There is no one in Botou Town who doesn't know me. I have no serious business now, and I have never sold myself to Uncle Zhao at the inn. I am just an idler. Who knows me?" The family is short of manpower and needs help, as long as I say hello, I will be there immediately."

"For people like us, reputation is more important than life. If the reputation is bad, who would dare to ask me to do things in the future? If I really cheated your money out of conscience, you just have to tell Uncle Zhao that my reputation It’s so bad, didn’t I seek my own death?”

As he said, he slapped his chest loudly: "Don't say it's a scam, even if I pick up silver on the road, I don't dare to take it. If you don't believe me, you can go out and inquire about it. My dates are famous for their fair price." , A promise is a thousand pieces of gold, and a child will never be deceived."
