Chapter 28
"Speaking of which, it's also our fault." The mother blushed and was very disturbed: "It is said that we should go to pay my respects to the old lady when we came back yesterday, but we just came back yesterday and we had a lot of things to do, so we couldn't go there. The original plan I went to the long room after greeting the old lady this morning, but I didn't expect...the old lady had something to do in the yard, so it was delayed again."

Mother paused for a moment, her expression calmed down a lot: "But no matter what, we were wrong. Let the old lady wait for us for nothing yesterday, and let you go there yourself. I will go there in person later. I apologize to the old lady. We have no arrangements tonight, so I will take care of the old lady, and ask the nanny to help me express my gratitude in front of the old lady."

Gu Chongyang nodded almost invisible.

Mrs. Cui, the head of the house, is a reasonable person. She had such a bad reputation in her previous life, and Mrs. Cui, the head of the house, was willing to help her in times of adversity.Today's mother apologized so sincerely, Mrs. Cui, the eldest house, would definitely not blame her.

Sure enough, Mother Ding said: "Fourth madam, don't worry, the old madam is not angry, otherwise she wouldn't let me make this trip. I'll go back now, the old madam can't leave her side."

"Then I won't leave you here." The mother stood up and personally sent Nanny Ding to the door.

Then he asked Nanny Wu to send Nanny Ding out, and then turned back to the house.

The mother took Gu Chongyang's hand and said to her: "Ninny, let's go to the old lady of the long house to say hello in the afternoon. The old lady's natal Cui family in Shandong is a famous poet and book family, and the old lady is well-known and well-known. She was also a famous talented woman when she was young. It was the mother who was rude first, and when we go, you must not be naughty. You have to talk to the old lady, you know?"

"Yeah." Gu Chongyang nodded seriously: "Mother, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore, and I will pay my respects to the old lady."

"You're so good!" Mother patted Gu Chongyang's head: "Go and take a nap. When you wake up, we'll pack up and go there. Remember to ask Luluo to dress you up beautifully. Although there is no separation, we are two after all. Fangtou, don't be rude again."

"Then I'll take a set of combs with me. I remember that the eldest sister, like the eldest sister, likes to recite poems and compose poems. Then I'll give you the set of spring flowers, autumn moon, summer wind, winter snow and four seasons landscapes." Gu Chongyang said: " I think the lady in the lobby will definitely like it. And the lady in the hall, Rui, I’ll give you the set of the Chinese zodiac.”

"Yes." The mother smiled and said, "You are really getting more and more sensible. If you don't remind me, mother will forget it. Since you have given something to your sister-in-law and sister-in-law Rui, then other people will be left alone. I'm here to deliver."

After the mother and daughter discussed it well, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After the lunch break, Lu Wu really dressed up Gu Chongyang.

Mother also dressed up specially.

She was wearing a pink-purple embroidered grape-patterned collared beige and a pink horse-face skirt embroidered with flowers and birds.

The black hair was gathered up and combed into a round bun, exposing the smooth forehead, making the mother's fair skin and beautiful appearance even more apparent.

On the hairpin is a small silver phoenix hairpin with double-titled chicken heart pendant, which swayed gracefully as the mother walked, making the mother's already soft almond-eyed Qiong nose and willow-leaf curved eyebrows more attractive.

At this time, the mother swept away the hard work and fatigue of the journey, which made people's eyes shine.

Gu Chongyang has a good skin, and she also knows that she is indeed good-looking.

But seeing her mother now, she felt that her mother was much prettier than her.

She couldn't help muttering to herself: "Mother, you are so beautiful."

Gu Chongyang's dumbfounded appearance pleased his mother, she stepped forward and took Gu Chongyang's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't look, let's go."

The father also couldn't help laughing: "This child, why are you so dumb."

A group of people left the yard and came to the long room.

As soon as he entered the gate of the long house, Gu Chongyang felt a strong smell of medicine.

Gu Chongyang frowned, carefully identifying the medicinal materials inside, angelica, tangerine peel, tragacanth, ginseng...

This is the taste of ginseng Yangrong soup.Although there are some additions and subtractions, Gu Chongyang can be sure that the original recipe is Ginseng Yangrong Decoction.

In the Xirong Courtyard where Mrs. Cui lived, there was a little girl named Huang Ying who wore a double bun and led them there.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help the maid leading the way: "Is the old lady feeling unwell?"

"The old lady is healthy and healthy, and there is no discomfort." Huang Ying smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples: "This is the medicine for the young master."

Seeing Gu Chongyang's puzzled expression, Huang Ying said again: "It's not Young Master Rong, but Young Master Rui."

When Gu Chongyang heard this, he suddenly realized.

The young master Rui that Huang Ying was talking about was the eldest grandson of the eldest son - Gu Weirui.

Didn't expect him to be alive.

Three months after Mrs. Cui married the old man of the long house, the old man of the long house passed away.The title was passed on to the second-bedroom old lady.

Two months later, Mrs. Cui found out that she was not feeling well. She invited a doctor to find out that she was four months pregnant.

Mrs. Cui gave birth to her husband's posthumous son, the late elder Gu Zhanying of the long house.In order to distinguish him from Gu Zhanpeng, the eldest master of the second house, he is called Master Ying.

Master Ying is not in good health either.He has a son and a daughter under his knees, his son Gu Weirui and his daughter Gu Chongfang.

Master Yingda died five years ago.

Mrs. Cui has experienced the pain of losing her husband and son successively, so she loves these grandchildren very much.

Although she loves her, she doesn't spoil her. Both Gu Weirui and Gu Chongfang were well educated by her.

In the previous life, Gu Chongyang only remembered Gu Chongfang as the eldest sister, and she had no impression of Gu Weirui as the eldest cousin.All she knew was that the elder brother died of illness within two years of getting married, leaving the elder sister-in-law alone.Later, the sister-in-law of the lobby adopted an heir from a side branch of the Gu family.

In her previous life, she didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Gu family, so she didn't know the exact time when the eldest brother died.But now the lobby wife has entered the door, probably in the last year or two.

Could it be that the hall brother is already sick now?This Ginseng Yangrong Decoction is mainly used to treat spleen and lung qi deficiency, and tonify qi and blood.If it is symptomatic, it is estimated that the big cousin will recover soon.

Terrible is afraid of being wrong.

Gu Chongyang felt a little worried when he thought about the withered and indifferent look of the old lady Ying, who was all alone.

Gu Chongyang smiled at Huang Ying: "When did the big hall brother get sick? How long have you been taking this medicine?"

"I don't know." Huang Ying shook her head, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a long time, Master Rui is often sick, and this medicine has never been stopped."

"Your hall brother Rui is not in good health. It has been like this since he was three or four years old." The mother glanced at Gu Chongyang, with a hint of warning: "I don't know how much effort it took to extend the doctor to ask for medicine, but it has been intermittently good and bad. It's bad, but it's not always good. The old lady always worries about this matter, why do you ask so many questions, kid?"

Gu Chongyang could feel that his mother was a little unhappy.

There is nothing wrong with caring about Big Brother Rui. My mother definitely didn't want me to care about Big Brother Rui.

But the mother talked to Huang Ying about other things, nothing more than asking the old lady if she was in good health and if there was anything at home.

Seeing his mother deliberately changing the topic, Gu Chongyang vaguely understood that his mother didn't seem to want him to ask about medical skills.

She remembered that in Botou Town, she said that she would be a doctor and practice medicine in the future and was severely reprimanded by her mother, and a trace of regret flashed in her heart.

This regret can only be passed by in a flash, because after arriving at the Xirong Courtyard of the old lady, Gu Chongyang quickly cheered up.

Nanny Ding got the news in advance and waited at the door herself. When she saw them coming, she greeted them with a smile: "The old lady just got up too. It just so happened that the fourth master and the fourth lady came. The eldest lady and the eldest lady are also there." Woolen cloth."

Saying that, the servant girl lifted up the soft curtain with stone-blue treasure-face pattern, and a group of people walked in.

Because she is a widow, Mrs. Cui's house is very low-key.There are not so many colorful things to decorate, but the all-colored rosewood furniture still clearly shows the heritage of the Hou Mansion.

No, it should be the background of the famous family.These furniture and objects are the dowry of Mrs. Cui, her natal family is a famous poet and book family in Shandong, and there are many officials in the court.

"It can be regarded as coming back. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You have been here for three years, but you have grown a lot."

Mrs. Cui was sitting on the seat, watching with a smile that Gu Chongyang kowtowed to her with his parents.

Father and mother stood up, and both of them had a bit of shame on their faces: "Where is there any progress, and I even delayed such a thing as greeting you, I am really guilty."

"Okay, haven't you guys come here? Who can make no mistakes at all times and everywhere." Mrs. Cui waved her hand and said, "I'm not the kind who doesn't forgive people when I catch mistakes, and just expose the past. Come on. If you talk about it again, I will get angry, old lady."

Mrs. Cui was wearing a sandalwood baoxiang-pattern pair of plackets and a dark green skirt.The whole body is clean, except for the plain silver flat hairpin on the head, there are no other accessories.

There are no luxurious clothes, but the crisp and powerful aura in the gestures and gestures rushes towards her face.

Seeing her like this, Gu Chongyang admired her from the bottom of his heart.Mrs. Ge is in charge now, but who doesn't give a thumbs up when Mrs. Cui is mentioned in the Gu family?
When people live to this age, they should live in a clear and open-minded way like Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui's subordinate sat Mrs. Ying's first wife, Mrs. Wu. In order to distinguish her from Mrs. Hao, Mrs. Qingyang Hou, people in the house often called her Mrs. Ying.

Standing next to her was a girl in a goose yellow skirt, with a pretty face and slightly plump skin.

After getting a signal from Mrs. Cui, she hurried over to salute her father and mother.

Gu Chongyang recognized that this was Gu Chongfang, the eldest sister.

Because there is no man in the long house, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Yingda are close relatives, but there is a difference between men and women. Father showed his face and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed and casual than before.
