Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 278 Returning to Beijing Alone
Worried about his grandfather's illness, Gu Yanxi got into the carriage early the next morning and returned to the capital.

The journey from Muran Mountain Villa to the capital would take more than half a day at the usual speed, but because he was in a hurry to go home, Gu Yanxi ordered the driver to hurry all the way, and he even rushed back to Gu's mansion during lunch time.

At this moment, Mrs. Lin, who was serving the old man's illness in Chunhui Garden, was notified by the porter that her daughter had returned, so she was naturally extremely happy.

Immediately, he put the medicine bowl in his hand on the small table beside the bed, and ordered the servants around him to go to the door to greet the third girl.

In the past few days, people in Gu's house were panicked because Grand Master Gu suddenly fell ill. For Gu Fu who had been suppressed for several days, it was really a rare happy event.

Therefore, even the faces of the servants who went out to greet the third girl rarely had a smile on their faces, feeling that the dull air that had been lingering over Gu's mansion was finally going to fade away.

It was almost a month since Gu Yanxi left the capital, and now that he was able to come back again, he was naturally extremely happy.

When she got off the carriage supported by Luomei, she saw Yingzhu, the maid who had been by her mother's side all the year round, came out with unconcealed joy. The moment she saw her, Yingzhu became red before she even opened her mouth. In the eye sockets, "The maidservant greets the third girl. The girl can come back safely. It is really the blessing of the Bodhisattva."

As she said that, Yingzhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times firmly, she was really happy like that.

Gu Yanxi had always had a good impression of Yingzhu, and seeing her move like this, she was even more moved, and hurriedly reached out to help her up, "Did mother ask you to come out to meet me? Where is mother? Is she okay?"

Yingzhu wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, and told herself that it was a great joy for the third girl to turn the corner and come back safely, and she must not cry at this time, so as not to touch the girl's brow.

"Madam is taking care of Chunhui Garden at the moment. The old man fell ill. Except for waking up once in the middle of the past two days, he never woke up again. What the old man means is that if the situation does not improve, he will go to the memorial hall, please." The emperor sent an imperial doctor to treat him."

Hearing Yingzhu mention her grandfather's physical condition, Gu Yanxi didn't say much anymore, she just lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the mansion, and the direction she went straight was towards Chunhui Garden.

Seeing that Gu Yanxi was about to start trotting, Yingzhu, Luomei and the others quickly chased after her, fearing that the third girl, who had just recovered a little, would knock and fall.

When Gu Yanxi came to Chunhui Garden, Mrs. Lin, who was eager to miss her daughter, was already waiting at the gate of the small courtyard.

Seeing her daughter in a goose-yellow spring shirt running towards her with a blushing face, Lin could no longer hold back the tears that had been hidden in her eyes, and they slid down the corners of her eyes; thinking of a month ago , this child was sent away in a sickly state, and the pain that was comparable to peeling skin and flesh was still fresh in her memory.

In the past month, she has been terrified every day, looking forward to her letter all the time, and also afraid of the news from Muran Villa; because she is afraid that there will be bad news from there.

Fortunately, the gods are pitiful, and she finally protected her Jiaojiao to be safe. It seems that she must go to the temple outside the city to offer incense in order to worship the blessings of the Bodhisattva when she finds time.

The moment Gu Yanxi saw her mother's figure, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. Since she was reborn, this was the first time she had been away from her parents for such a long time. In fact, before she left, even she didn't have much Make sure you can come back safely.

Now, it is undoubtedly the greatest comfort for her that her relatives can be reunited.

Therefore, Gu Yanxi was like a baby bird that was tired from flying outside. The moment she saw Lin, she plunged into her mother's arms and hugged her mother's soft body tightly, as if she had returned to her mother's body. As she was when she was young, she called her mother in a delicate and soft voice.

When she heard the word 'mother', Lin was also very excited, and also hugged her child tightly, reluctant to part for a minute.

"Mother, Jiaojiao misses you so much, she looks forward to coming back to see you day and night."

Lin's tears could not be restrained, "Mother misses you very much too, my Jiaojiao is back, she really is back, from now on, mother will never let you leave her side, never let my child was sent away."

Reunited after a long absence, naturally there is a lot to say.

Especially for Lin, she wished she could hold her daughter tightly in her arms every minute, and never let go.

Gu Yanxi cried in Lin's arms coquettishly for a while, then regained her composure. She slowly withdrew from Lin's arms, seeing her mother still holding her hand tightly, she smiled: "Mother, don't worry, I won't leave when I come back this time, my body is almost fully recovered, and I don't need to go back to Muran Villa to rest."

"Really?" Lin's eyes flashed with joy: "You mentioned in your last letter that your health is no longer serious. I was still worried that you only reported good news but not bad news. I didn't expect it to be true."

Speaking of this, Lin looked Gu Yanxi up and down again, and finally showed a smile on his face: "Jiaojiao seems to have grown a lot in the month since she left, and she looks much taller than before."

Gu Yanxi also heard this kind of words from Feng Yichen, it seems that she has really grown taller this month.

Thinking that she was about to become a big girl, Gu Yanxi was naturally happy, but she had always been a quirky and clever ghost, and she almost just opened her mouth to act like a baby.

She could see that Mrs. Lin must be in a bad mood these days, so after the mother and daughter reunited, she naturally began to coax her mother in different ways.

I saw her acting like a little daughter, gently shaking her mother's hand, and said in a delicate voice: "Even if my daughter grows taller, she is still the little daughter that my mother loves the most in my heart. When Jiaojiao grows up, she no longer cares about Jiaojiao."

Hearing the domineering meaning in her daughter's tone, Lin's heart seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and she felt sweet all over.

For her, her daughter is her sweetheart. What she worries most is that after the child grows up, the man she likes will no longer be intimate with her mother. She is even worried that when she grows up, she will not be loved by her as a mother.

Seeing such a naive daughter, Mrs. Lin really wanted to hold her heart and said, "What silly things, to mother, you are my mother's life, Jiaojiao, how could I not love you in the future? ? My Jiaojiao is my little padded jacket for the rest of my life, much better than your elder brother who only knows how to wield knives and guns all day long."

After speaking, Lin hugged Gu Yanxi tightly in her arms again, and both mother and daughter had smiles from their hearts on their faces.

Luomei and Xiaokui, who were waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help laughing too. For them, seeing this scene made them feel extremely satisfied and happy.

After her mother managed to coax her into a smile, Gu Yanxi thought of her grandfather, "Mother, I want to visit my grandfather, can I?"

Lin took Gu Yanxi's hand and walked towards Chunhui Garden: "There is nothing wrong with this, if your grandfather knows, you can come back to see him safely, maybe he will wake up sooner when he is happy Woolen cloth."

As she said that, Lin couldn't help but wiped the corners of her eyes again, and continued: "I don't know what happened to our Gu family this year, bad things happened one after another, first you contracted the pox, and then It was your grandfather who suddenly fell ill, and your father has lost a lot of weight during this period, just looking at it makes people feel distressed."

Gu Yanxi comforted her mother: "Mother, don't worry, am I coming back now? As long as I come back, I will share the burden for my mother."

"It's better to be my Jiaojiao, she is the most caring daughter of my mother." Lin patted the back of Gu Yanxi's hand, paused, and said: "It stands to reason that your elder brother should stay in the mansion at this time, but It just so happens that something happened to Aunt Xiang again; hey! It seems that I really have to go to the temple to worship quickly. If possible, let the eminent monk come to our mansion to take a look and see if there is really anything unclean in the mansion. Otherwise, there will always be accidents in a good family, either the family members get sick, or someone dies of illness suddenly."

In order to conceal the truth about Aunt Xiang's death, Feng Yichen sent someone to report that she died suddenly.

Faced with the sudden death of a living person, my mother naturally found it difficult to accept, so she had the idea of ​​asking the eminent monk to come and see the evil, but there is no evil in this mansion, it is clearly man-made; If not, that dirty thing can only be the one from Hengguangyuan.

When she finds the evidence and reveals the man's true face, the Gu family will naturally be at peace.

It's just that right now, it's better to let mother not act rashly.

Gu Yanxi said: "Mother, I know you are worried about your family, but you have to think about it carefully. Grandfather has never liked the miasma caused by female relatives inviting great dance gods or so-called eminent monks to toss around the house. If you do this at this time Things, my grandfather will inevitably be in a bad mood when he wakes up; so I mean, we can go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and add some sesame oil money, and God will bless us naturally. As for the home, don’t make those messes Now that my grandfather is ill, we should quickly find a doctor to take good care of him.”

Lin was moved, "Is there really no need to invite eminent monks? I heard that it is very good to invite eminent monks to recite sutras at home."

"Mother, my grandfather is sick, not some ghost. I need to invite those people into the mansion. As for Aunt Xiang, she is very lucky. Besides, she died of illness in Muran Villa. You invite those people to chant scriptures in Gu's mansion. It's useless, right? So, don't think about it."

As he said that, Gu Yanxi deliberately changed the topic to distract Lin's attention: "Mother, are you very tired recently? I think you've been haggard a lot, and the wrinkles around your eyes seem to have appeared."

Lin Shisheng is beautiful, and loves beauty even more. When he suddenly heard his daughter say such words, he was startled on the spot, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke his face, with a worried look on his face: "Really? My mother is really old. Is it? Oh my god, I haven't rested a little these days, why do I have eye lines?"

Seeing that her mother's attention was successfully taken away by herself, Gu Yanxi secretly smiled in her heart; her mother was really well protected by her father all these years, she didn't have any scheming methods, otherwise, how could it be so easy I was influenced by these few words.

Sure enough, the biggest taboo for women who love beauty is the fear of getting old!
