Chapter 1 (1/2)

The backyard of the governor's office in Jinzhou.

The servant girl peach red carries a bowl just decocted good soup medicine, pushes the door to enter the bedroom.

”Is the girl awake?”

”Not yet. Sister peach, do you want to wake up the girl

”Wake up. The doctor said, ”take the medicine while it's hot.”

Xiaocui first hung up the gauze curtain, lowered her head and looked at the two girls who were lying on the bed. Her cheeks were thin, her skin was sallow, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate.

The second girl was weak and sickly since she was young. This time, she was ill for more than half a year, and she was thin and out of shape.

The second girl must be very sad, even in her sleep, her eyebrows have never been relaxed.

Xiaocui called softly, ”girl, take the medicine.”

I thought it would take several calls to wake up the girl. But did not expect this time, her voice just dropped, the girl opened her eyes.

”Well...”

Gu Jiu should a, twist, frown, look at Xiaocui, eyes cold, in the twinkling of an eye and become weak.

Xiaocui was stunned for a moment. The girl's eyes were strange. Could it be that she was blinded.

Without waiting for her to think more, she heard the girl's weak voice ringing in her ear.

”Help me up.”

Xiaocui returns to her mind and quickly helps Gu Jiu up.

Peach red holding medicine bowl, standing beside the bed, ”girl, it's time to drink medicine.”

Gu Jiu is not in a hurry to drink the medicine. She holds a handkerchief and covers her mouth with a light cough. A small face was pale and weak.

She frowned subconsciously with a strong smell of medicine.

This medicine has a strong taste and a strong effect. How can it be given to a girl who is 14 or 15 years old, who has been ill for a long time and has been sick since childhood.

Gu Jiu looks up at her servant girl peach red. She is seventeen or eighteen years old. She is more charming than flowers.

Then she coughed twice more, and her face became paler.

Peach red was the maid beside her wife. She only came to serve her a few years ago.

”Girl, it's time to take some medicine.” Peach red again said, tone more than the last time two points. There was a clear look of impatience and disgust in his eyes.

Disgust?

Impatient, Gu Jiu can understand. Even as a servant girl, taking care of a patient for a long time will also produce impatient mind, which is human nature.

As for disgust, where to start.

Gu Jiu lowered his head, a trace of doubt and irony flashed through his eyebrows and eyes.

She looked at pink and said in a soft voice, ”come closer, I don't have much strength.”

Peach red holding medicine bowl, and closer.

Gu nine took two breaths, and then reached for the medicine bowl.

At the moment when her hand touched the medicine bowl and pink let go, her fingers suddenly trembled twice. Then, her hand drew back and fell to her side.

Bang!

The medicine bowl fell to the ground and smashed.

The hot soup splashed all over Xiaocui.

”Ah...”

They all cried out.

On the contrary, Gu Jiu, sitting in bed, escaped the robbery.

Gu Jiu picked up his handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed lightly. His face was remorseful, sad, weak and helpless.

”Are you all right?” There was a cry in her voice, almost ready to cry.

”You don't have to worry about the maid. I'm fine,” she said As you speak, you wipe the stains on your clothes.

Peach red frowned and looked at the new dress that she had just put on today. Her skirt was stained with soup and medicine, which made her ugly.

She looked at Gu Jiu impatiently, even if she was not in good health, she always added trouble.

Gu Jiu suddenly coughed violently and his face turned red.

”Girl, are you all right?” Xiaocui is very nervous.

Gu Jiu waved her hand, indicating that Xiaocui didn't have to worry about her.

Finally, she stopped coughing. Gasping for breath, she said weakly, ”peach red, it's hard for you to fry a bowl of medicine, and change your clothes by the way. The clothes are dirty and they are not beautiful. ”

Peach red full of resentment, the tone is very blunt to say: ”girl, maidservant is not easy to fry good medicine, how can you be so careless.”

”I didn't mean to.” Gu Jiu's eyes were filled with tears in an instant, ”I know that my body is not striving for success, which is a drag on you. I also want to get better earlier Cough Peach, since you came to me, these years wronged you. If you don't want to, you'd better go back to your wife and serve her. ”

”What nonsense does the girl say? The wife gives her the maid, and the maid will serve her all her life. Take good care of the girl, Xiaocui. I'll go to decoct the medicine. ”

Finish saying, peach turns to leave bedroom.

Peach red a walk, Gu Jiu then put away the tears in his eyes, a face clear light appearance.

”Don't be sad, girl. Peach red sister is a bit fierce Xiaocui comforts Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu is a silly girl. It's not just the mouth that makes the pink.

”Xiaocui, give me that piece of debris.”Gu Jiu points to the biggest piece of medicine bowl on the ground.

”What do you want this thing for? Don't hurt your hand. ”

”No matter what, just give it to me.”

Xiaocui picks up the pieces. This is a foot on the base of the medicine bowl, and there is still some medicine on it. She gives the pieces to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu lowers his head and sniffs the medicine carefully. Then he dipped some medicine juice with his hand and put it into his mouth to distinguish it carefully.

Notopterygium, bupleurum, forsythia, Atractylodes, tangerine peel

This is a kind of antidote, which is used to disperse exterior evil and relieve exterior syndrome.

There is no problem with the prescription, but the medicine is not correct, and there is also a problem with the medicinal materials.

As she had judged before, there was something wrong with the medicine she was taking.

”Girl?”

Xiaocui is a little nervous. She doesn't know what the girl is doing.

Gu Jiuchong her gentle smile, put the debris on her hand, ”strong medicine, clean the room.”

”Yes, my servant.”
