Chapter 6
What came into view was a lake-blue plain silk curtain, such a Sujuan, the family of Gongqing would only use it as a reward for the servants, and would never use it.The House of Poetry and Books thinks it has no foundation, and small families can't afford it.

Because it is easy to clean, many post houses like to use this kind of fabric.

Gu Chongyang sat up and looked at the room he was in.

In the small room, apart from the kang under him, there is also a wide clothes hanger, a table, and four stools beside the table, all made of locust wood.

In the black lacquer tray on the table, there is a blue and white porcelain teapot and three tea bowls of the same color.It should have been four, but Nanny Wu was so frightened that she broke one because of what she said just now.

Against the wall, there is a semi-old and not new Sujuan screen. If you want to come to the screen to cover it, it must be something like a Gong bucket.

It seems that I guessed right just now, this place is indeed an inn.

Gu Chongyang was startled when he wanted to get off the kang to put on his shoes.

She couldn't reach the ground, why is this kang so tall?

Why are those embroidered shoes under the kang so small?And my own hands and feet have shrunk a lot.

What exactly is going on?

Gu Chongyang tiptoed down the kang, and when she was putting on her shoes, she saw that the floor was covered with bluestone square bricks, and a beam of light came in through the window covered with oiled paper, she couldn't help being taken aback.

A bold idea came to her. When she lived in Liangxiang Farm, she heard from the tenant ladies in the village that ghosts have no shadows.

She stood up, avoiding the water stains on the floor, and reached into the beam of light.

The white and tender hand still had some baby fat on it, casting a small shadow of the hand on the ground.As her fingers stretched out and clenched, they changed like a shadow.

There is a shadow!
Gu Chongyang was overjoyed immediately, she is not a ghost, she is still alive!

What I saw just now were all living people, not ghosts.

In this way, Nanny Wu's secretiveness and the panic in Qing Zhi and Lu Wu's eyes can be explained.

She went back in time.

But what time is it now, and how old is she?Also, why is she in the inn?

There were whispering voices coming from the door, Gu Chongyang tiptoed to the door and put his ear on the crack of the door.

"...I'm dazzled, I can't see clearly, Qingzhi, please read it quickly."

Gu Chongyang looked out along the crack of the door, and saw Madam Wu handing a book to Qing Zhi, and there were five large characters written on the book: The Jade Box of Wanquan.

It turned out to be a book for giving away, and with the nonsense I said just now, Nanny Wu probably thought that she had bumped into some ghosts and gods.

Just now I was worried about how to explain to Nanny Wu, but now it seems that there is no need to explain.

Qingzhi took it, turned it over for a while, and Fang said pleasantly, "Yes."

"Keep your voice down." Nanny Wu and Lu Wu scolded her at the same time: "You're so loud, Miss."

Only then did Qingzhi lower her voice and read: "September [-]th, the evil star descends. Women don't like this star. There are many strange dreams on the main night and many nonsense on the day. It is not suitable to travel far. Use a yellow card to write "Central Wuji Tude Xingjun ", five lamps, offering sacrifices to the west, great auspiciousness."

When Nanny Wu heard the words, she recited a sentence of Amitabha: "I found it now, isn't it just talking nonsense? Madam also couldn't sleep well at night, and she had to worry about Miss during the day, so she finally squinted for a while."

"Because the old lady is going to celebrate her birthday, the master and wife are too busy traveling. The road is non-stop, and I didn't even look at the almanac when I went out. The young lady is sick, and the madam is also sick."

Lu Wu couldn't help but said, "It's all over now, hurry up and prepare paper money and lamps, and give them to Madam and Miss."

"I need to do this in person. The inn is shabby and there is nothing there, so I have to ask someone to buy it on the street." Madam Wu said to Qingzhi and Luwu, "Look at Miss, I'll go back as soon as I go. The stove There is chicken soup simmering on the table, wait for the young lady to wake up, then feed the young lady to eat, don’t be lazy.”

Luwu and Qingzhi agreed in unison, and Nanny Wu left.

After hearing what he said just now, Gu Chongyang already knew where he was now.

Today is the 40th anniversary of Jianxing, today is September [-]th, and my mother is still alive.In the last life, my mother died suddenly on the eighth day of November.

In other words, there is still one and a half months before my mother passes away.

No, she couldn't let her mother die.

She was reborn once, and no matter what, she had to change the tragedy of her previous life.

She wants to cure her mother's illness, and she is going to see her mother.

Gu Chongyang opened the door without hesitation, and Lu Wu, who was sitting on the stool, immediately stood up, with a nervous expression on his face: "Miss, why did you get out of bed? You just happened to need to rest."

As she said that, she stepped forward and took Gu Chongyang's hand, and while leading her back, she said, "Are you hungry? Nanny Wu made chicken soup with you, and Qing Zhi has already brought it, wait You can eat it in one go."

Just recovering from a serious illness, Gu Chongyang has no appetite at all, she just wants to see her mother now.

"Sister Luwu, I don't want to eat chicken soup, I'm going to find my mother."

"Madam is not feeling well. You made a fuss last night, and Madam finally got some rest." Lu Wu said persuasively, "Miss, if you want to see Madam, after Madam wakes up, I will let Qingzhi go Madam was invited here. Madam would be so happy if she knew you were awake. You must be obedient and don't make Madam worry."

He spoke as if he was an unreasonable child.

Although Gu Chongyang is now a ten-year-old child, he is already an adult soul in his bones. She is not used to Luwu holding her hand like this, coaxing her like a child.

She broke away from Luwu's hand, turned around and walked out.

"Miss!" Lu Wu panicked, hurriedly chased up and blocked the door: "Miss, the doctor said that you are recovering from a long illness and cannot see the wind. You are obedient and don't go out."

"My illness is already cured." Gu Chongyang said to Luwu, "I'm not fooling around. If I don't go, my mother may become more and more ill, and maybe the root cause of the disease will remain. I will go to see a doctor for my mother. It will get better soon, don't stop me."

Lu Wu turned a deaf ear and pleaded: "My good lady, just be obedient. When Nanny Wu comes back, you can do whatever you want. If I let you go out now, Nanny Wu will definitely blame me."

"Nurse Wu is back, so naturally I have to tell her." Gu Chongyang said: "I do everything by myself, and I will never let you take half of the responsibility."

Lu Wu didn't believe it: "Miss, Nanny Wu will be back soon. Just wait a little longer, okay?"

After all, just don't let yourself out.And Gu Chongyang can be sure that even if Nanny Wu comes back, she will not agree to her going out.

Now that Nanny Wu and Qingzhi are not here, I can just convince Luwu to be alone. When Nanny Wu comes back, it will be even more difficult for me to go out.

Gu Chongyang was so angry that his almond eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Wu with his mouth pursed.

Under her gaze, Luwu gradually lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze.

Gu Chongyang is only ten years old, but Luwu is already 15 years old.If you force it, you will definitely not be able to get out, you have to outsmart it.

Neither of them spoke, only Gu Chongyang's breath was heard.

Suddenly, her face brightened, and she happily said to the door: "Nurse Wu, you are finally back."

Luwu hurriedly turned around, but found that there was no one behind her.

Taking advantage of her turning around, Gu Chongyang swooped down and got out from beside her.

Lu Wu's face changed drastically, and she shouted at Gu Chongyang's back: "Miss, come back quickly."

If Gu Chongyang would have listened to her, she wouldn't have run out just now. She acted as if she hadn't heard, and ran forward without turning her head.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed on the second floor of the inn.

She knew that the houses of her mother and father were at the other end of the corridor.

Hearing the movement, Heng Wu, the eldest maid in the mother's room, opened the door to see what was going on. Gu Chongyang had already run to the door, and rushed in without a word.

The mother was wearing a half-worn bluish-colored brocade with dark flowers and bamboo leaves with an open collar, and was leaning on the autumn-colored brocade pillow. Because Gu Chongyang was making too much movement, the mother raised her head in astonishment.

When she saw that it was Gu Chongyang who came, a joyful smile appeared on her face: "Oh, my little girl finally woke up. Why are you here now? Are you dizzy? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Have you ever eaten anything?" ?”

Little girl, little girl... Only a mother would call herself little girl.

The kind tone and doting eyes are exactly the same as in the memory.

The appearance of her mother gradually became blurred in her former memory, but she will always remember the way her mother looked at her, as if she was the most precious jewel in the world, and her mother was willing to protect her with everything.

Just like at this moment, her originally weak face brightened up when she saw herself.

"Mother!" Gu Chongyang couldn't bear it anymore, and cried loudly, throwing himself into his mother's arms.

"Okay, little girl, mother knows that you don't want to take medicine, and knows that you have been wronged by keeping you in this inn recently. It's all mother's fault, she didn't take good care of you, and made you suffer from the cold."

The mother's hand gently patted Gu Chongyang's back, with infinite patience: "When we return to the capital, mother will take you to Guangji Temple to eat vegetarian dishes, okay?"

In the capital, Guangji Temple is as famous as Tantuo Temple.

The difference is that Tantuo Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and the scenery is very beautiful; while Guangji Temple is located at the intersection of Xishi in Fucheng Gate, which is the busiest area in Beijing.There are row upon row of shops, and there are all kinds of goods from south to north. There are also shops opened by Westerners and Hu people. There are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

In the past, after hearing such words, Gu Chongyang would have jumped into his mother's arms with joy, and coquettishly said "Mother is so kind" or something like that.But after experiencing rebirth, she was no longer an ignorant child. Her mother coaxed her like this, which made her feel even more sad, and she shed more and more tears.

The mother couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? Who wronged our Fourth Miss?"
