Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 17
"Miss, don't worry!" Madam Wu assured, "Let Madam drink the medicine on my shoulders."

Gu Chongyang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and an undisguised smile bloomed on his face: "Of course I can trust the nanny."

"The old fairy said a lot about my mother's illness. I'll go back and think about it. Don't let anyone disturb me. When the boy who delivered the lotus root comes, you take the lotus root and let the boy come to me .”

"Okay." Nanny Wu nodded again and again, with a serious expression on her face: "Miss, don't worry, think slowly, think carefully, and don't think wrongly, Mammy promises not to let anyone disturb you."

Seeing Nanny Wu's cautious look, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but smile slightly, the name of this old fairy is really useful.

If I had known that they believed in ghosts and gods so much, I should have lifted the old gods out from the beginning.In the dream, I met an old fairy who enlightened me. There have been many dramas, and I am not the first one.

Gu Chongyang suddenly froze!
Where are you?Have you really been reborn?
Is the so-called rebirth just a dream of oneself?When she woke up from the dream, she was still in Liangxiang Farm, and her mother, Nanny Wu and others were just a fantasy imagined by her?
Or, the present is the reality, and the events of the previous life are just dreams.

Gu Chongyang was a little dazed.

Seeing that she was stunned, Nanny Wu didn't dare to rush her, but carefully helped her back to her room, and ordered Luwu and Qingzhi to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb Gu Chongyang.

It didn't take long for Zaozi to go, and he came back soon.

"Miss, it's a good luck. Thanks to you, the villain has done the job well." Zaozi spoke very reservedly, but his joyful expression betrayed his inner joy.

Gu Chongyang looked at his expression, put down the book in his hand, and asked him: "How did you get the lotus root?"

Zaozi smiled and said: "Because the villain has a huge sum of money on him, he dare not run around like before. As soon as he went out, the villain hired a familiar carriage. I will first convert the 20 taels of silver into cash, and then I went to the pastry shop and bought two boxes of Yunpian Cakes, and finally took the Yunpian Cakes to the biggest restaurant in the town, which is Mingli Restaurant."

"Because the villain helped Mingli Restaurant chop firewood and transport vegetables before, Chef Zhao, the head chef of the restaurant, is very familiar with the villain."

"The little man gave Yunpian Cake to Chef Zhao, and spent 15 taels of silver to Chef Zhao, and bought a basket of fresh lotus root from him. The purchase price of this lotus root is [-] taels of silver per basket. He earned five taels of silver for nothing, so he was naturally very happy."

"The villain took another two taels of silver to the chefs and helpers in the back kitchen to drink, and asked them to help cover up one or two in front of the boss. In this way, everyone is happy."

"It cost 15 liang to buy lotus root, [-] liang to the cloud cake, [-] liang to cover up the chef's cover, and [-] copper coins to take the carriage, and there are still [-] copper coins left in the end."

As Zaozi said, he took out a large handful of copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table in front of Gu Chongyang, the copper coins rattled.

Gu Chongyang just laughed: "You worked hard, isn't it just for these ninety copper coins? You gave it back to me, wouldn't it be a waste of water from the bamboo basket?"

"Miss." Zaozi scratched his head and said, "The villain originally wanted to earn some money from you, but now the villain has other plans."

"What plan?" Gu Chongyang looked at him calmly.

Under Gu Chongyang's watchful eyes, Zaozi gritted his teeth, and made a deep bow: "The villain wants to join Miss's family as a servant, please give me a meal."

After saying this, his heart was beating wildly.

He has had enough of this precarious life of doing chores for others every day and being ordered around.His jujube is not good-looking, and his body is weak. Anyone who wants to sell himself as a slave will not want him.Therefore, he can only go to the east house for business, and the west house for business. Because he is a day laborer, he is often bullied by the servants of the east house.

He has had enough of this kind of life!

The young lady in front of me, although she is a young lady, is upright and generous, and spends a lot of money.The most important thing is that she lacks people under her command.If I can vote for her and help her run errands and do some errands in the future, I won't have to live and sleep like this, and worry about eating and drinking every day.

I just don't know if I can catch her eyes. After all, I have been rejected many times by selling myself before. Apart from rejection, it is just ridicule.

He has no home since he was a child, and has been a beggar on the street. His biggest dream is to hope that someone can accept him.If it wasn't for the sake of passing on the family line in the future, he would even go to Beijing to be a eunuch.

He must grasp the opportunity in front of him.

Zaozi kept her head down, as nervous as waiting for a verdict of life and death.

Gu Chongyang never spoke.

He could feel that the young lady's gaze had been on him all the time, and Zaozi only felt that he was getting more nervous.

Suddenly, a woman's soft voice came from the door: "Miss, are you serving dinner now?"

"Yeah." Gu Chongyang said, "Let's put it in."

Lu Wu brought the food in with two little maids, and Zao Zi could smell the aroma of the food.

He swallowed hard, but regret rose in his heart. He felt that he was too reckless, and he should wait a few days before speaking.But he was afraid that the eldest lady would leave, so he had to speak hastily.

Just when he was conflicted, Gu Chongyang Qingyue's voice came from above: "Zaozi, you go back first, let me think about this matter, and I will give you an answer in a few days."

"Yes." Zaozi was shocked and walked out beamingly.

The delicacies on Gu Chongyang's table are deeply reflected in his mind, it's really a luxury for the young lady to eat so many things by herself.If I follow the young lady, the rest of her food will be enough for me to eat for several meals, so why not live a good life.

After dinner, Nanny Wu came: "Miss, the lotus root juice is ready, do you want to put it together with the medicinal soup?"

"Yes." Gu Chongyang said: "Together together, and then serve it to mother to drink. Mother, is she willing to drink?"

"Yes." Xu felt that his mother's recovery was hopeful, and Nanny Wu's spirit was much better than in the afternoon: "Miss, don't worry."

"You serve it to mother right now." Gu Chongyang went out with Nanny Wu: "I want to watch mother drink it with my own eyes."

After a deception, Gu Chongyang was really worried.

When he reached his mother's door, Gu Chongyang opened the door and was about to enter.

"Ninny!" The mother stopped her with a stern look: "Go out soon? What did your mother tell you in the morning, have you forgotten?"

My mother has always been very gentle, but suddenly became very strict because she was afraid of infecting herself with the disease.

Gu Chongyang did not continue to move forward, but retreated outside the door, and spoke loudly to his mother through the door: "Mom, don't worry, I won't go in, I will obey your words from now on."

With that said, she took a stool and sat at the door.

"Ma'am, it's time to drink the medicine."

Heng Wu took the medicine bowl from Nanny Wu and brought it to her mother's bedside.

Even Nanny Wu couldn't get close to her mother.

It seemed that my mother really felt that she was bound to die.

But mother drank the medicine, she will be healthy and safe.

"Before going to bed, let mother take the medicine again." Gu Chongyang urged: "Nurse, call me over when the time comes, I want to watch mother take the medicine with my own eyes."

"Don't worry, miss."

Gu Chongyang left contentedly, without seeing his mother's nostalgic gaze.

Before going to bed, Nanny Wu came over, and she said to Gu Chongyang with great joy: "Miss, madam really doesn't vomit blood anymore, for an hour and a half, she only spit out a small mouthful of clear phlegm."

"I don't know which god it is, but it's so wonderful!" Madam Wu wiped her tears excitedly: "Maybe it's the late old man who is blessing Madam in heaven."

The old man that Nanny Wu said was the mother's late father, Gu Chongyang's grandfather.

Gu Chongyang's maternal ancestor's surname is Shen, and now he is a well-known wealthy businessman in Nanjing.

The Shen family's ancestral home was in Chuzhou, originally it was just a small merchant selling traditional Chinese medicine, but it really started to rise from the generation of Shen She, Gu Chongyang's grandfather's father.

She bought cotton from Songjiang Mansion to Sichuan, sold medicinal materials from Sichuan to Jiangnan, sold silk cloth from Hangzhou to the capital, and then sold the most fashionable rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry to various places... that's it. The business is getting bigger and bigger.

By the time Uncle Gu Chongyang was in charge of the family, he was already a well-known rich man in Nanjing City.

Hearing Madam Wu's words, Gu Chongyang's heart skipped a beat.Since ancient times, medicine has not been divided into families. Since the ancestors of the Shen family sold medicinal materials, maybe the Shen family will know how to do medicine.

Even if the uncle can't, the grandfather and grandfather's father must be more or less able.I told my mother that I was taught by the Shen family in my dream, and that's why I learned medical skills, so it's okay.

She said that she was helped by the Shen family, and her mother would definitely be less suspicious.

The more Gu Chongyang thought about it, the more she felt that she was smarter, she jumped off the chair: "Nurse, let's go, it's time for mother to take the medicine."

Seeing his mother taking the medicine again, Gu Chongyang's heart was completely in his stomach.

Mother can take the medicine obediently, thanks to Nanny Wu who is also a mother and servant, Gu Chongyang is very grateful.

"Grandma, give mother some benzoin. When mother wakes up, it will be fine tomorrow." Gu Chongyang said again: "Grandma, you have worked hard today. When we return to the capital, I will treat your old cold well." Legs, I promise you will never suffer from leg pain again.”

The corners of Nanny Wu's mouth twitched, she was very relieved and moved: "Miss, Mammy doesn't think it's hard work, as long as Madam can get well, even if it takes my life, I have nothing to say."

Gu Chongyang believed this!

In the previous life, her mother died, and Nanny Wu hanged herself as a martyr.

She didn't think it was anything at the time, but now, after experiencing life and death, she knows the truth of the only death that is difficult in all ages.
