Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 55
The desk that Master Jia used for fortune-telling was placed against the wall, and inside the hole in the table, the drawer on the side against the wall was actually empty, and there was also a hole in the wall.This hole is not big, it is just blocked by the drawer of the table, and most people can't see it at all.

Not only that, everyone also found that the wall was a false wall, not made of bricks, but a thin layer of wood.

Everyone felt weird, so they kicked the wooden wall away, and suddenly realized.

On the other side of the wall, there is also a table with pens and ink, inkstone, and cut papers on the table.Some of the paper still had writing on it.The handwriting was clearly the so-called pre-calculated paper that Master Jia took out from the drawer when telling his fortune.

In this way, everyone present will understand.

It's all a scam to predict your birthday in advance and see if you are destined to be with him.It's just that he found a helper, and when he heard what was said here on the other side of the wall, he wrote it down perfectly.

Then put it in the drawer through the hole, and Master Jia pretended to take it out, isn't it not bad at all?

Filled with righteous indignation, the official announced Master Jia's deception to the public.

Gu Chongyang also heard about this matter in the inner house.The maids in the inner house don't have many things to do on weekdays, and even the slightest things can be spread all over the city, not to mention such a thing involving deceit, love murder, and adulterer's adultery is spread by word of mouth. After everyone's imagination, adding oil and vinegar, it didn't take long for the whole capital to know.

It was also thanks to those servants and women who liked to spread the word that she could understand things so clearly.

So, she asked Gu Tailai to pretend to be a fun-loving son of a rich family, and first pretended to ask him for fortune-telling. After the fortune-telling came out, Gu Tailai went next door and caught the person who cooperated with Master Jia.

Master Jia continued to help people with fortune-telling, but he waited and waited, but there was no more paper passed from the table, no matter how he hinted, they were indifferent.

There was no other way, so he had no choice but to close the business. After sending everyone away, he angrily went to the next door.

He thought that his assistant had fallen asleep, but he never dreamed that the young prince of the Marquis Mansion, who asked him to calculate whether he could successfully inherit the title, brought seven or eight servants to restrain his accomplice.

She asked Gu Tai to restrain Master Jia and make him obedient, but it was just a precautionary measure, and she didn't know at that time whether the old lady would get sick in this life.

The old lady was really sick.

It can be seen that she was right to take precautions.

Of course, she couldn't tell Gu Tailai the truth of the matter.Although she regards him as a confidant and has the heart to train him, she still doesn't intend to tell him everything.

Because her rebirth was too weird, not everyone could accept it.Besides, even if she said it, Gu Tailai might not believe it.

Looking at the anticipation on Gu Tailai's face, Gu Chongyang smiled and said, "What kind of strategizing? I'm not as good as you said! The reason why I know about Master Jia's deception is because when I was in Guichi, I saw A book dedicated to revealing the secrets of deception. There is a deception in the book that is exactly the same as Master Jia, so I wanted you to try it. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right. And you did not live up to my expectations. It was done beautifully.”

"As for the old lady getting sick, I don't know at all." Gu Chongyang said, his face became serious: "You are a smart person, you don't know that the current situation of our fourth room is not optimistic. There are no outsiders here, so I will tell the truth I told you that I asked you to restrain Master Jia just in case. I didn't expect it to be used so soon."

"There is also the bodhi seed Buddhist beads buried under the willow tree. When I was looking at the flowers in the small garden, I overheard two maids talking about them. Those two maids stole the old lady's Buddhist beads, and they were afraid that the old lady would find out. They buried it. When I heard it, they were arguing, one of them wanted to dig out the beads and sell them for an equal share of the money, while the other was afraid that the matter would be leaked and his job might be lost, so his life was in danger, so they disagreed."

Gu Chongyang made up the same as the real thing: "When the two of them quarreled, they forgot to lower their voices, and I happened to be on the other side of the rockery, so they didn't notice. It's a pity that I didn't see the appearance of the two maids, otherwise This matter can be designed in another way.”

After Gu Tailai heard Gu Chongyang's words, he admired Gu Chongyang even more.

The young lady is only ten years old, so she has such an exquisite mind.I am three years older than Miss, but far behind Miss.

"You are not allowed to reveal a word to others about what we said today." Gu Chongyang warned: "Even your husband, you must keep your mouth shut."

Gu Tailai stood up, bowed and replied: "Yes, miss, please rest assured, the villain promises to keep the matter in his stomach and never let others know."

"Okay." Gu Chongyang stared at him and said, "Of course I trust you, go ahead. I'll call you over when something happens."

When Gu Tailai left, Gu Chongyang let out a heavy breath.

She is really not used to lying, but she never thought that since her rebirth, she has told more lies than she put together in her previous life.

Once you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover up that lie.Master's words are really wise and famous.

However, she is really fluent in lying now, much more fluent than at the beginning.Not to mention someone as loyal to him as Gu Tailai, even if it were someone else, I'm afraid she would believe her words.

She didn't know if the string of bodhi beads was stolen.In her previous life, she raised a puppy named Juan. The reason why she knew that there was something buried under the willow tree was that she accidentally picked it up when she went to play in the old lady's yard.

If it wasn't for Juanjuan, she wouldn't know at all.

In her heart, Juanjuan is not only a pet, but also a close friend.Tell Juan Juan what's on her mind.

Facing the stepmother's coercion and temptation, everyone else turned their backs one after another, only Juanjuan followed her faithfully and wholeheartedly.

Once, the stepmother reprimanded her as before, slapped her palms with bamboo sticks, curled up to protect the Lord loyally, yelled at the stepmother, and even bit the stepmother's skirt, which made the stepmother jump wildly in fright.

Juanjuan didn't bite people, it didn't bite her stepmother when it was pushed so urgently by its stepmother, it just bit her skirt to scare her.

But some people can't stand Juanjuan.

The night that Juan Juan bit her stepmother disappeared, it was not until the next morning that Gu Chongyang found Juan Juan at the door.

It was already dead, its black curly hair had been pulled out, and the teeth in its mouth had been beaten to pieces.

Gu Chongyang didn't need to think about how much torture it had suffered before it died.

She hasn't had a pet since then.Until later, I went to Liangxiang Farm and raised a few birds under the guidance of my master.

Gu Chongyang was thinking about the past when Heng Wu, the eldest maid next to the fourth lady, came with a smile all over her face: "Miss, Uncle Nanjing has sent a letter, saying that they are already on their way to Beijing, probably in the twelfth lunar month I can reach the capital around the sixth day of the lunar new year."

"Ah!" Gu Chongyang was surprised and delighted when he heard that, he grabbed Heng Wu's hand and asked, "Is it true? When did you send the letter? Where is the sender now? What else did he say?"

Heng Wu smiled and said: "Of course it's true, the letter has just been delivered, and it's at Madam's place. Madam has already arranged for the messenger to rest..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Chongyang was already carrying her skirt and running towards the Rongdong Courtyard of the Fourth Madam.

"Mother, did uncle receive a letter?" Gu Chongyang rushed into the room and asked loudly, "Heng Wu said that uncle will come to the capital on the sixth day of next month, is that true?"

"The fourth madam was reading the letter with her head down. After hearing Gu Chongyang's words, she raised her head in response, with an unmistakable joy on her beautiful face: "It's a letter from uncle, saying that he brought your second cousin, fourth Fang's cousin came to the capital to participate in the examination tomorrow spring.You can arrive in the capital on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. "

Gu Chongyang already knew these things, but she was still very happy to hear her mother say it again: "Then what else did uncle say?"

"Your uncle said that this time is not only to send your two cousins ​​to Beijing, but also a very important thing to do. In April next year, the imperial court will hold an embroidery competition, and the winner will become the imperial embroidery shop." , specially providing embroidery for the palace.”

The fourth lady seemed a little excited when she said this: "Our Shen family's loom workshop and embroidery shop are also among the best in Hangzhou. It is not hopeless to participate in the imperial embroidery competition this time. If it is really selected, the Shen family will become a the imperial merchants."

Although the fourth lady didn't say the rest, Gu Chongyang already understood.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are ranked last, and their status has always been low, and Daqi is no exception.Although the sons of merchants can now participate in the imperial examination, the status of merchants has not been greatly improved.

Especially in the eyes of those who belong to the family of poets and bookmakers, the merchants are those who value profits and forget righteousness, and are only interested in profits.

But if you become an imperial merchant, it will be very different.

Adding the word "emperor" means that he is working for the emperor, and his status is naturally different.Although it is not as good as those famous families with hairpin tassels, at least they can speak up straight without being despised by them.

If the uncle really becomes an imperial merchant, the situation of their fourth wife will be greatly improved.

The fourth master, Gu Zhanming, was also very happy, with a slight smile on his originally gloomy face: "I think the elder brother will definitely be selected this time."

"Borrowing the master's auspicious words, it is best to be selected. It doesn't matter if you can't be selected. Anyway, for the Shen family, there is no loss if you are not selected." The fourth lady said softly to her husband: "Brother also said, wait Brother Let and Brother Zheng are here, and I want to ask the master about making art, and I hope the master will give me some advice and give me some pointers."
