Chapter 16 Turnaround
Gu Yanfei rinsed his mouth and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief before smiling: “Big sister, you rarely come to Danyang City, should we go out for a walk?”
Gu Yunzhen pursed his lips hesitantly, and then heard Gu Yanfei say again: “I have lived here for three months, and I haven’t been out much yet. I heard that there are many delicacies in Danyang City, such as salted duck, goose puff pastry, sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet potato… The crispy dried fish is delicious.”
The milk cat’s eyes lit up when he heard the words, “miaomiao” helped to play the side drum, and looked at Gu Yunzhen expectantly.
Faced with this person and cat, Gu Yunzhen couldn’t say a single “no” at all, and replied with a smile: “I’ll have someone tell my grandmother, let’s go for a walk in the city.”
Gu Yunzhen sent the little maid to report to Mrs. Gu Tai, and went out in a carriage with Gu Yanfei.
When he was about to go out, Gu Yanfei made a hexagram and instructed the driver: “Go west.”
The hexagram shows that the turning point of this calamity in Danyang City is in the west.
Gu Yunzhen thought that Gu Yanfei was a child and wanted to relax in the city, so she was free to let her go.
So, under the command of Gu Yanfei, the carriage turned left and right, and after passing a few streets, came to Chongxian Street in the west of the city.
The atmosphere on the streets today is not the same as usual. The streets are a lot empty, and there are no shouting hawkers and walking merchants, and the places they pass by are more deserted than usual.
Along the way, many passersby gathered to talk, mostly discussing the matter of the prefect’s order to close the city gate.
“Big sister, let’s go to the Qingfeng Building in front of us.”
At Gu Yanfei’s suggestion, the sisters and a cat entered the Qingfeng Building in the central area of Chongxian Street.
At this time, there were not many guests in the restaurant, and only 12 of the tables and chairs in the lobby were seated.
The two sisters chose a private seat on the second floor facing the street, and ordered a table of Qingfenglou’s specialty dishes, and Xiaoer, who had made a big business, went downstairs happily.
In the elegant seat, the fragrance of tea curled up.
The two sisters were drinking tea, and Jue Bi was waiting for the milk cat to drink water.
After sipping two sips of hot tea, Gu Yunzhen put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup and said warmly, “Second sister, when we leave later, please bring a copy for grandmother, and let her old man have a taste.”
Although he only knew Gu Yanfei, Gu Yunzhen had a good impression of this cousin, and felt that she was not as vulgar as Xu Mammy said, her bearing, words and deeds were all modest, the wind **** Yuxue, reminded her of her uncle who passed away.
Gu Yanfei gave a soft “um”, and probably guessed what Gu Yunzhen was going to say next.
Gu Yun really wanted to talk to Gu Yanfei about the people and affairs of the Hou Mansion, so that she would not be smeared when she went to the capital in the future.
She thought about it, and started with Mrs. Gu Tai: “Second sister, grandmother likes to eat fish and shrimp, she believes in Buddhism, and she will fast and become vegetarian on the 15th day of the new year.”
“Next month is my grandmother’s birthday. The third sister suggested that each of us should copy a copy of the Buddhist scriptures for my grandmother.”
“Third sister…” Speaking of Gu Yunchang, Gu Yunzhen paused for a while.
Gu Yanfei knew what she was worried about, so he picked it out directly: “You are talking about Su Niang’s daughter.”
Gu Yunzhen nodded and continued, “My third sister was raised under her grandmother’s knees since she was a child. My grandmother loved her the most, and I could listen to her advice on weekdays. This time it was my third sister who persuaded my grandmother to come and pick up my second sister.”
Gu Yanfei blinked his big lacquer-like eyes, and then suddenly realized.
It turned out that Gu Yunchang was pushing behind her back. No wonder Mrs. Gu Tai arrived so quickly, several days earlier than she expected.
Gu Yunzhen wanted to say something else, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps on the street outside the window, and someone shouted: “The official is here!”
The movement outside the restaurant attracted the attention of the sisters, and both of them looked for fame.
On the street, a group of tall and mighty yamen ran menacingly and surrounded a medical hall opposite, several of them rushed into the medical hall from the main entrance.
led the team by a middle-aged man wearing a red robe with embroidered geese and geese, riding a brown horse waiting outside the medical hall with awe-inspiring momentum.
“Fourth-grade official uniform?” Gu Yunzhen frowned and said in surprise, “Could this be the prefect?”
“It’s really He Zhifu!”
replied that Gu Yunzhen was a young man who had just entered the door, and saw that he had six dishes of dishes in his arms, as if performing a juggling act.
While stretching his neck to look out the window, Xiao Er skillfully served them dishes, steamed shad, anchovy shrimp, salted duck, goose puff pastry, sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet potato, stewed chicken fu in clear soup… a table full of them. , full of color and flavor.
The movement in front of the Medical Center also attracted the people walking on the street. Many people stopped curiously and talked a lot:
“Why is the official here?”
“Did this Cheng’s Medical Center do something?”
“First the city was closed, and now the hospital is closed, there must be a reason!”
“I remember that Dr. Cheng was invited to see the eldest prince yesterday. Could it be that something went wrong…”
“…”
On Chongxian Street, more and more passers-by stopped to watch the excitement, and the voices were full of people.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Cheng’s Medical Center.
Gu Yanfei ate an anchovy shrimp with his chopsticks, and looked outside thoughtfully.
The milk cat smelled the fragrance and looked at Gu Yanfei with a “mow meow”. Those green cat eyes were captivating. Unfortunately, Gu Yanfei was unmoved and shot it flying, and ordered the little two to serve the cat a serving of boiled shrimp. .
After a while, a man shouted loudly from the opposite direction of the medical hall, almost overturning the roof:
“You are wronged! The villain is wronged!”
In the shrill cries of grievances, Dr. Cheng was escorted out of the hospital by four or five tall yamen, his turban fell off, and his bun was a little messy, which was described as embarrassing.
“Master He knows clearly, Caomin is wronged, there is absolutely no problem with the medicine that Caomin prescribed to His Highness the First Prince…”
Doctor Cheng raised his head and complained to He Zhifu on the horse’s back.
When Caiya went in to arrest him, he kept saying that it was because he used the wrong medicine, which caused the first prince to go down sharply after taking the medicine and was in critical condition.
But Dr. Cheng was convinced that Chu Yi’s critical illness had nothing to do with him.
He is familiar with the medicinal properties of Biyuecao. After taking Biyuecao for the first time, the patient will only feel good and refreshed, but he does not know that this is just a reflection.
Next, the toxicity of blue moon grass will erode the patient’s internal organs little by little, causing the patient to slowly weaken and die slowly, making it impossible to judge the cause of death or detect the time of the poisoning.
He only handed the medicine package to Chu Yi’s personal guard early this morning, which means that the toxicity of the blue moon grass will take at least half a month to take effect.
Moreover, judging from Chu Yi’s pulse yesterday, he was only weak and sickly enough to be fatal… Could it be that other people also gave Chu Yi medicine and deliberately blamed him? !
