I was Idle and Cool Chapter 27: Under the skin

The moment he heard this, Gu Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and he almost didn't even react. He raised his voice and asked, "Where did the prescription come from?"

"From the General's wife, Huishengtang, Ghost Hand Zhang's prescription!"

Wan Baochang's voice contained a bit of excitement. Hearing Gu Chengqian almost couldn't remember it, he almost panicked and repeated it again.

"You forgot?"

Forgot?

How could it possibly be forgotten?

Gu Chengqian has experienced wind and rain for most of his life. Sometimes I have experienced a lot of big things, and I don't remember very much about the ordinary little things.

But the pain of the old cold leg and the old wound together reminded him one thing: he can't invite ghosts.

There are too many doctors in the world.

But the ghost hand Zhang is just that.

Healing, treating strange diseases and intractable diseases is a good hand;

Healing, Liao is seriously injured, and scraping bones to cure poison is not a problem;

Preparing medicines, dispensing new medicines, I often go to the horns and nooks and inaccessible mountains, and I always find some medicines that are not in the Herbs Collection, and can prepare different usages for ordinary medicines. The Eighteenth Anti-Anti, who is generally a doctor who is cautious and cautious, is easy to come by on his side.

There are even rumors that when he was terrified to heal, he opened his stomach and took something out of his stomach.

Is it true or false, Gu Chengqian doesn't know.

He only knew that Ghost Hand Zhang might not really be able to cure his problem, but if he had to find someone in the world who might be able to cure it, there would only be one Ghost Hand Zhang.

It's a pity that so many people in the house have invited him so many times, but in the end it didn't work.

The old man had a stubborn temper. Gu Chengqian didn't know if the other party was not sure about his medical skills, or if he had offended others without knowing it.

As for the stalls, he claimed that he did good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, and he never felt any guilt.

In order to seek medical treatment, Wan Bao often came back in the cold weather wearing a foot wash.

At that time, he and Gu Juefei hadn't had a falling out yet. He was dragging an old Han's leg and was in his study, drinking medicine and looking at his painting of "Shuang Cranes in the Cold Forest".

Hanging in the room is the "Fast Snow and Clear Post", which is just around the corner. In the plum bottle is a cold plum that has just been folded back and is still stained with a few pieces of snow. On the chess table by the window is an unfinished Finished Jinlong.

Zihao pen walked on the Chengxintang paper spread out on the bookcase, he hung his wrist, stroke by stroke, very freehand.

After Wan Baochang came in very arrogantly, he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had expected this result, but instead laughed: "When you encounter hard bones, how can you be so polite? "

That's a very common-sounding remark.

At that time, Gu Chengqian didn't care either, he only saw Wan Baochang's embarrassed appearance, his heart tightened with anger, and immediately put the medicine bowl on the table.

"If you don't come, you won't be invited! The old man's half-body buried in the soil has suffered from pain over the years? It's not bad for the past few years! From now on, no one is allowed to invite him again!"

A strict order goes down, and all the people in the house obey.

After that, no one really went to Huishengtang again, but every time it was cloudy and cold, someone always remembered: If the ghost hand Zhang Ken cures, maybe the old lady's problem can be cured. Bar?

After so many years, the original scene is still vivid in my mind.

Gu Chengqian sighed: "I didn't even think about the day when I could see the medicine in Huishengtang. The General's Mansion, sent by the General's wife..."

Isn't that Xue Kuang's widow, Lu Jiuling's only daughter, Lu Jinxi?

At this moment, Gu Chengqian looked at his classmate, classmate, and colleague at the other end of the mahogany carved lacquer coffee table.

Lu Jiuling is a few years older than Gu Chengqian and looks just as old.

He was wearing a dark blue uniform and a black green cloak. He sat on the chair with a long beard. He was afraid of being disturbed by the wind outside, so he clipped it with a beard clip.

When he heard Wan Baochang say "Mrs. General", he was stunned.

After a long time, he asked Wan Baochang: "You just said, Madam General?"

Wan Baochang also knew the pain in the heart of this old man Lu, and even heard that the wife of the general was ill a month ago, and she refused to go to see him. Now that he heard the wife of the general, how could he not be excited?

He hurriedly replied: "It's indeed Mrs. General. She came with Princess Yongning. Even I was shocked when I saw her. She looked very good, as if she had recovered from her illness. Said, you were talking to the adults of our family in the study, and the wife returned, and I came here today to meet you."

"Good, good, good..."

Speaking in a row, Lu Jiuling's mouth was vague, and she couldn't find any other words.

Sitting next to Gu Chengqian, his wrinkled face was already in a trance.

Wan Baochang was a little frightened by his appearance, and was a little frightened for a while, only Gu Chengqian shook his head at him, and only asked him to hand over the brocade box to himself, don't disturb Lu Jiuling,

It's all suffering from old age, how could he not know the situation of Lu Jiuling's daughter?

I got a daughter at a young age, and I love it like a precious pearl, and I just look at her as a beautiful girl forever. In the future, relying on the lintel of the Lu family, why should she stay until the age of 20, teach her some things in the inner house, and then pick a poet from Beijing or a Confucian scholar from Jiangnan to marry.

In this way, if you are not forty and childless, you cannot take concubines.

His daughter doesn't have to worry about getting by.

Everything is going well.

Even at many banquets and private gatherings, Lu Jiuling often mentioned it, with a smile all over her face.

The child of the Lu family, although it is said that although he does not have the skills of Wei Yi, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, he is kind and docile, and is very popular with the elders.

Gu Chengqian is busy with official business and suffers from leg problems all the year round, so he doesn't go out very much, and only sees the little girl a few times.

In my impression, it is also gentle and charming, and it hurts.

But who would have thought?

Everything that Lu Jiuling planned for her daughter failed in the end.

Emperor Qing'an said that marriage is a gift, and there is no room for change.

The son-in-law envisaged by Lu Jiuling "was born in a Confucian family, and did not accept a concubine until he had no children in his forties", but became "a family born in a general family, and brought a concubine and a concubine before he got married."

Even at that time, his daughter was only sixteen, and everything in the house was not fully learned.

When she went to the General's Mansion like this, even if she had a valuable status, even if Xue Kuang never treated her beside her, and even never took a concubine for more than five years, how could life be easy?

Originally, it was brocade clothes and jade food to nourish his body, and poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness to nourish his spirit.

It's good this time, but before I can take care of it, it has become a thousand kinds of internal discussions.

In the past eleven years, Lu Jiuling has been gnashing his teeth every time he mentioned the General's Mansion!

Just who can be blamed?

Who dares to blame?

When Xue Kuang brought the Orchid and the lame son back to Beijing, he didn't go to the palace gate to kneel long, but Emperor Qing An only asked people to persuade him to go back.

As soon as I went back, I almost fell ill.

The emperor's life is difficult.

Even if one does not want to marry, and the other does not want to marry, who would dare to tie the rise and fall of the family's fate to such a marriage?

At that time, Xue Huan, who had lost his second room in the General's Mansion, even Xue Kuang's elder brother Xue Leng also went.

The Lu family, although a scholarly family, never had much real power, and it was just better when it came to Lu Jiuling.

How can they compare with the Gu family and the Wei family?

The emperor can pinched to death with a move of his finger, and he doesn't even have to worry about hurting his muscles and bones.

So, in the end, it still became such a "bad relationship".

Seeing Lu Jiuling sitting there now, a deep trance and sadness appeared on her face. Gu Chengqian thought about it, and sadness also came from it.

How could he be better?

"Clap."

He twisted the bronze lock of Huishengtang in the shape of Tiannanxing leaves.

The things lying inside also came into view one by one: medicine stickers, prescriptions, and doctor's orders were all available, including those for knees, those for foot baths, and even decoctions to be taken orally.

"Alas..."

Gu Chengqian let out a long sigh, but he knew how deep his heart was hidden in this small box.

Gu's house went up and down and visited Huishengtang for many years. Guishou Zhang was afraid that he had long been recited by his illness. This doctor's order is written, but all of them correspond to his illness...

One of Lu Jinxi can remember his problem, two, he dares to go to Huishengtang again to ask for medicine, and three of them are still successful.

The ability is there, and the heart is there.

It's not like the rumors from the outside world, too kind and gentle, cowardly and incompetent.

There was a warm current in my heart for a while, and it slowly flowed away, making Gu Chengqian feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Jiuling has a good daughter.

He slowly closed the lid of the brocade box again, and he didn't know what to say or think for a while, so he only ordered Wan Baochang: "Go and tell Madam in person, Madam General does not like to go out of the house, it is rare to come out. Take a walk, don't be lazy."

Wan Bao often listens to it and understands it in his heart.

The general's wife was originally a high-ranking official, and she was on an equal footing with the Taishi's wife, Tang Shi, so it was impossible to neglect her, let alone accompanying Princess Yongning?

The master added that he was going to be a guest of honor.

He hurriedly bowed and said "yes", and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Jiuling stood up directly from the chair, the wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen, she only said: "Since you are going, show me a ride. I always want to see her. , my heart is at peace..."

Hearing this, Gu Chengqian felt a pain in his heart.

"Bao Chang, you just take Mr. Lu there, and you can ask Mrs. General to see you in the side hall."

"Yes." Wan Baochang knew that this was Lord Lu's love for his daughter, and he was going to have a look, so he waved his hand and said, "Please also invite Lord Lu to come with me."

Lu Jiuling is no nonsense, and even forgot to say goodbye to Gu Chengqian.

He disappeared along with Wan Baochang and disappeared outside the door, bypassing the twists and turns of the corridor, and finally disappeared.

Gu Chengqian just sat in the room.

He had the box of Huishengtang medicine in his hand, and on the table was a good tea that was starting to cool down. Drilling through the cracks in his bones.

It's cold.

This winter is too long and too cold.

He looked out the window again.

The budding begonia trembled in the cold wind, as if the next gust of wind could blow through the bulging buds and bloom fresh flowers.

How did he and the eldest son get to where they are today?

Gu Chengqian almost forgot.

He just remembered that sentence again: "When you encounter tough bones, how can you be so polite?"

This is what Gu Juefei said when they couldn't invite Guishou Zhang.

It's a word from his eldest son, who has always been humble and reserved.

It was so obvious that he didn't even notice it at the time.

So much so that, after a long, long time, he found out all the details of his relationship with him in the past, only to realize that this sentence was one of the few times when he showed his flaws.

Looking like a joke, the simple word "kindness".

How many thrilling and sword-like shadows are hidden inside?

At that time, he, like everyone around him, had the same understanding of this eldest son, the eldest son of the Gu family, the most proud genius of the Gu family in the past century, that would be terrifying if you think about it carefully. ——

Have traveled to study the world, made friends with all directions, three religions and nine streams, traders and pawns, all admire him;

The court and the opposition, and his colleagues from all over the world, there are also many who have helped him solve the crisis and praised him;

He is also the companion of Emperor Qing'an, and he is a close friend of him, and he talks about everything.

Daughter's family in the capital, who doesn't admire his amazing talent, that arrogant and elegant bearing?

He is a person who is almost perfect in everyone's eyes.

Beautiful jade is flawless and flawless.

Since his opening, no one of his age has ranked ahead of him, and almost few people have a bad feeling towards him. He's getting better and better, he's smart and smart.

As a result, this kind of cognition gradually deepens and remains deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.

Also includes Gu Chengqian.

This kind of cognition has lasted for too long, too long, and people are already used to it. So much so that he couldn't believe it six years ago when this cognition collapsed like a mountain.

After a long time, it is full of disappointment, full of anger, and even-

Full of fear.

Gu Juefei still looks like the perfect young master Gu...

However, a few people in the world know what kind of terrifying monster is hidden inside when the skin of the painting is uncovered?

He didn't know how to describe it other than horror.

Old things came to Gu Chengqian's mind one by one.

He slowly put the brocade box in his hand on the desk, looked at it for a long time, but a bit of sadness flashed in his eyes: After all, it was him who failed to keep Xue Kuang...

Nowadays, how can he afford to be his widow and treat each other with such a heavy heart?

Gu Chengqian's eyes almost burst into tears for a while, but he could only stand rigidly in front of the bookcase, looking up at the "Quick Snow When Clear Post" that was moved and hung on his wall, he was speechless for a long time.

On the other side, the big housekeeper Wan Baochang has taken Lu Jiuling to the side hall first, and then turned to the back garden. He instructed a maid to go to Tang's side and ask Lu Jinxi to come to the side hall. .

Lu Jinxi didn't walk very fast.

After all, the Gu family is famous, and has a deep heritage left over from the previous dynasty. The ancestors' ancestral home is also in the south of the Yangtze River. The entire mansion is built according to the standard of Jiangnan gardens, which is particularly elegant.

Moving to change the scene, it's not a problem.

In the big winter, some green trees and safflowers can be seen in the garden, which makes people forget that it is still an early spring with cold spring.

When she saw her, she was relieved for a while, and walked more and more slowly.

The egret and the green sparrow followed her without saying a word.

Across a wall, there are vague chatter and laughter.

Lu Jinxi knew that if she went to the front, it should be the flower hall for entertaining female guests, so she settled down and walked over with the maid.

Unexpectedly, a maid behind her hurriedly ran from the corridor, ran all the way along the edge of the small lake, hurriedly reached behind her, saluted, and panted, "Madam, the housekeeper Wan has slaves. Come and report, please follow the servants to the side hall first, and Mrs. Lu is waiting for you to speak."
