During the Laba Festival, Mrs. Hu received the Laba porridge from Yongxihou Mansion, so she took her daughter to send some back, and kowtowed to the old lady and Mrs. Houye.

The old lady and his wife were both staying at Marquis Yongxi's residence. It was inconvenient for Mrs. Hu to go there, so she left it with Yiqiu, the maid next to Marquis Yongxi.

Yiqiu invited Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie to sit down, then went in to report.

It has been half a month since Marquis Yongxi lingered on his sick bed. Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie already knew about this matter. Hu Zeyu told them.

They sat quietly in the booth and waited.

After a while, Mrs. Yang's mother came out next to Mrs. Yongxihou.

She smiled and greeted Mrs. Hu.

"Madam said, Mrs. Xinxin and Miss Jie'er are going to go. Mr. Marquis is still taking medicine. Madam has to wait for you. If you can't come out, let your slave accompany you..." Although Yang's mother smiled, there was something in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Sad look.

Mrs. Hu hurriedly asked: "I heard from my master that Mr. Hou has a minor illness. How come he is fine now?"

Yang's mother suppressed her smile and sighed deeply: "We haven't settled down yet. It turned out that Mr. Hou was happy and had a drink outside. He didn't know what he hurt. He got up twice in the night when he came back. Mr. Hou went to the Taiyuan Hospital to get fried.

After drinking the medicine, my wife didn’t ask much about it. Who would have known, but then things started to get worse. She went to the toilet seven or eight times a day, and had to go to the toilet three to five times at night. The day before yesterday, she couldn’t get out of bed, and she asked for leave from the ministry...

…”

Mrs. Hu was stunned.

Hu Jie also paused in her heart.

Yongxihou Mansion treated them affectionately but not intimately, always with a sense of alienation.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie knew in their hearts that in the eyes of Mrs. Yongxihou, they were almost like servants.

Mother Yang is the companion of Mrs. Yongxi Hou, and is the general manager of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. She is a bit more shrewd and powerful than Mrs. Hou Ye. Why are you talking so heartbreakingly about the Hou Ye's illness to Mrs. Hu and her daughter today?

?

It's a bit abnormal.

Diarrhea syndrome like Yongxihou's is probably not good-looking.

Hu Zeyu also knew about it from the Qingke of Yongxihou Mansion.

Why did Yang’s mother tell Hu and her daughter?

Hu Jie's eyes and thoughts were moving quickly.

Mrs. Hu didn't quite understand.

She didn't know what to say.

"I heard that the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital is not doing well." Hu Jie spoke before her mother, saying to Yang's mother, "Why don't you invite a famous doctor from Beijing to take a look at it?"

"Please." A flash of admiration flashed in Yang's mother's eyes, and she said to Hu Jie. "I invited a high-level doctor. I drank two doses of medicine. It still didn't work. I heard that this high-level doctor also gave Ning the medicine.

The Marquis has seen patients. Although his medical skills are high, there are times when his eyes are wrong..."

At this point, Hu Jie knew that her guess was accurate.

Mrs. Hu also understood.

Mother Yang spoke so much unusually. Mrs. Hu had already become suspicious. But now she was talking about Lord Ning.

The matter of Yi Yanhou Ning'e is related to Gu Jinzhi.

Mrs. Hu also claimed to be on good terms with the Gu family.

Are you talking about Gu Jinzhi?

"We have also heard about Mr. Ning's incident. It is indeed shocking." Mrs. Hu smiled. "When Miss Gu gave him the warning, he went around saying that Miss Gu was ridiculous and used all her skills to gain a high position, and then it turned out that

He was paralyzed, and now he is still lame on one leg. Talking about it in Jingli, everyone is flustered, and now they wish they could worship the doctor as a god..."

Hu Jie spoke up and said, "Other doctors may not, but Miss Gu wants to be worshiped by a god. Mother, do you still remember my illness?"

Yang's mother was also happy when she saw her mother and daughter on the road.

She answered the call and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Jie'er? Have you been sick too?"

"Isn't that true?" Hu Jie said, "It was at the banquet that Miss Gu said that I had heat poison in my body and that I should take some medicine seriously. It was just the beginning of autumn and winter at that time, and it was not summer to autumn. Where did the heat poison come from?

?We all thought she was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously. Later, I got sick. The doctor in Yanling Mansion said it was a sign of death, but my father asked Miss Gu to cure me..."

When Yang's mother heard this, she was surprised.

It turns out that Miss Gu was very capable when she was in Yanling Mansion?

"That's true." Mrs. Hu responded, "She didn't even take a pulse at that time. She only glanced at Jie'er's complexion for a few times and then said that there was poison in her body. I had never seen such a miracle doctor before, how could I believe it? Later Jie'er

My face is swollen, my throat is sealed, no water can come in, and no medicine can be used.

She was just close to death. Miss Gu used her own secret Gu's Liushen Pills and placed it on Jie'er's throat. The medicine was slowly converted into fluids and penetrated into the throat... Jie'er took the medicine and she was cured in one day. The swelling was gone.

It's gone. It's a life-and-death line. Now that I think about it, I'm scared."

Mother Yang stopped listening.

She knew that Gu Jinzhi was quite capable, and the news spread throughout the capital.

The Queen Mother's illness was also cured by Gu Jinzhi.

But how true are the rumors? Yang’s mother didn’t really believe it.

Now when she heard Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie talk about it again, she completely believed it.

"Miss Gu actually has such a method?" Yang's mother asked in surprise, "So she is famous in Yanling Mansion?"

"Not only famous..." Mrs. Hu couldn't stop talking when she talked about Gu Jinzhi. She also told her husband's outstanding political achievements, "...If it weren't for Miss Gu, how could smallpox be controlled so well?

People from ten miles and eight villages in Yanling Mansion have built shrines and made golden bodies for her. Anyone with minor illnesses does not need to take medicine, just say goodbye..."

People in this era believe in gods and ghosts very much.

When Yang's mother heard this, she was so surprised that she was speechless.

Her original purpose was forgotten.

She listened in a daze, and it took a while before she came back to her senses.

"When we were in Beijing, we only knew that Miss Gu had good medical skills, but we didn't know that she was also a living Bodhisattva!" Yang's mother sighed, remembering her intention before talking to Mrs. Hu, and changed the topic back, "My Lord Marquis has this disease.

, I wonder if I am lucky enough to let Miss Gu take a look..."

Mrs. Hu was looking for something to do in front of Mrs. Yongxihou.

She immediately came up with an idea and said: "Go and invite me. Come as soon as you are invited. Miss Gu has a kind heart and the most compassionate heart. When Jie'er was sick, I said some unpleasant words, and then my master went to invite her.

She is here too. She is the living Bodhisattva who has descended into this world..."

After hearing this, Mother Yang quickly laughed and said: "Families like ours also have status in the capital. If we go to invite King Luyang's concubine without inviting a serious imperial doctor, it would be frivolous to say that she is frivolous. If we don't invite her, I will be embarrassed."

It’s even harder to get through.”

Hu Jie sneered in her heart.

That's what it means.

Mrs. Hu didn't know yet, so she said hurriedly: "Why can't you invite me? Just send someone there and they will definitely come."

After Hu Jie heard this, she couldn't stop her. She was very anxious and thought to her, mother, can't you be honest before you speak? Why are you so impatient?

Sure enough, Mother Yang immediately caught Mrs. Hu's words and said with a smile: "In that case, your relationship with Miss Gu's family is unusual. You invite me on our behalf, just treat it as a personal relationship. You don't look down on the Princess of Luyang."

, treat her as a doctor; she can also fulfill Miss Gu’s benevolence..."

Mrs. Hu doesn't think there's anything wrong with being a doctor.

But the Yongxi Hou Mansion felt that doctors were low-class, at least compared to their own Hou Mansion.

If Gu Jinzhi was a licensed doctor and sent a servant to invite him, there would be no problem.

But she wasn't, she was just a purdah lady with a reputation for her medical skills.

With such a status, I sent a servant to invite her, but I also looked down on Gu Jinzhi. She would be Princess Luyang in the future, the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother.

The Hu family did not dare to openly despise her.

But Mrs. Hu went to invite her herself, which lowered the status of the Yongxi Marquis Mansion.

It would be a joke for the dignified Madam Yipin Gaoming to hire a doctor in person.

How can someone from a family like the Hu family look down upon themselves?

Mrs. Hu saw that Marquis Yongxi's ejaculation was always bad and made him lose his temper, so she wanted to invite the most famous Gu Jinzhi.

But Mrs. Hu said: "How to invite her? You sent the housekeeper to invite her and spread the word. How can the Queen Mother be happy if you despise the Princess of Luyang so much?

You are too flattering to the Gu family by inviting them in person. Those families who came from the countryside and entered the capital for the first time are newly favored. It is at a time when they don’t know how great the world is, and they think they are already superior. The more you praise them, the more likely they will be.

The more frivolous you become, the more serious nobles like us, Guiyin, will no longer be looked down upon."

Mrs. Hu was in a dilemma. Mother Yang gave her an idea and asked Hu Zeyu's wife Jiang to come forward.

In this way, it does not constitute contempt for the prospective concubine, nor does it degrade the status of the Hu family.
