Chapter 13 The Blind Old Taoist
It was not until the first sun in the sky broke through the clouds that Gu Jiu felt a little free from the nightmare.
She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, but found that the pillow was wet.
The little shirt was wet and dry, and it felt extremely uncomfortable to stick to her body. She pulled the bell in front of the bed and told the maids to prepare hot water for a bath.
After sank her whole body into the bathtub, she felt that there was a little more clarity in her chaotic mind.
The nightmare has not dissipated, but the rising sun has already emerged.
Those pasts are already past lives, and nothing has happened in this life, and she can prevent these from happening!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressing the thoughts that had broken the ground due to Qin Zheng's performance yesterday, and secretly reminded himself to stay away from Qin Zheng and save his life!
When the maid who was serving her dressing up in the morning, there were fewer white angelica and more peach branches.
She was originally a second-class maid next to her mother Liu, and she was calm and composed.
Because Bai Zhi had happened, when she came back yesterday, Liu had already beaten her. Although she came to the Duke's mansion to serve the lady, her actions have become more cautious.
Gu Jiu was very satisfied with her style. After finishing her makeup, he smiled and said, "Since you follow me, as long as you do things in peace in the future, you will definitely not treat you badly. The maids in my room all used the word "white". Your name was originally a flower name, so I changed the word "shao" and later called it "white peony". The treatment is the same as Atractylodes, and they are the first-class maids in my room."
When he was in the Gu family, Taozhi was just a second-class maid. Although he was a maid in the mistress's room, he was not a confidant. Now that he followed Gu Jiu, as long as he followed his principles, this maid was one level higher than before.
Taozhi was naturally happy and knew how to restrain herself. She knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying, "Miss Bai Shao Xie gave her name."
Gu Jiu nodded and asked Bai Zhu to take her to receive a new case. He left behind Madam Zhao and instructed: "Madam spent some time in the past two days to screen the maids and servants in our yard. Anyone who doesn't think it's right should be assigned to the outer yard. Then ask the dentist to come over and find a few capable maids and women to put them in the inner yard. As for the servant... Didn't my mother arrange someone when she got married? Where are they now placed?"
Her words meant to rectify the yard. Although Madam Zhao felt that her girl was rectifying her now, she still replied: "Miss, at that time, the lady was afraid that the Duke's mansion would dislike the large number of people we brought, so she stayed in the other yard. The old slave has arranged for them to come back in the past two days."
Madam Zhao said this and pondered again: "It's just that we'll make such a big blood change, and it's not good to see it. If the prince has a rift with you again, it would be inappropriate."
The Duke's Mansion is not as good as the merchants, and the servants and maids who come in and out are all registered. Now that Gu Jiu is rectifying this, isn't it clear that he doesn't need the Duke's Mansion to match her?
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled and said warmly: "Don't worry, ma'am, I have my own plans for the prince. As for others, the person in charge is a concubine. With this reason, I have a quarrel with her. Wouldn't it be more in line with the prince's intention?"
When she said this, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "Besides, even if we don't make these reasons, we have to arrange all the candidates in the courtyard. The Duke of Ming Dynasty's mansion is full of people. If even our own courtyard is not clean, how can we live in peace in the future?"
As soon as she said this, Madam Zhao understood and said with a smile: "Miss is, since that's the case, I'll do it now."
After Madam Zhao left, Gu Jiu let out a long sigh.
In fact, she didn't say something. If she did this, she would inevitably have a quarrel with the mansion. But she didn't plan to live a peaceful life, so what if she had a quarrel? She would save herself from vain!
On the Gu family, she was afraid that the family would worry, so she tried her best to hide it from it. But the Duke of Ming Dynasty's Mansion was different. If she was still as soft as her previous life and let them look at her room, then wouldn't she have lived this year?
Anyway, as soon as the year arrives, she can get along with Qin Zheng. As long as Qin Zheng and her own wells do not interfere with each other within this year, she is really not afraid of others!
Madam Zhao is a safe job. After explaining these things properly, Gu Jiu changed his clothes and went out.
Last night, she sorted out her memories of her previous life, and asked her to sort out a few clues, and followed the memories to find the miracle Doctor Sun.
She remembered that the storyteller talked about the history of Doctor Sun's success at that time, and once mentioned that he was the first to come to Beijing to fall, but he was proud, so he would rather be poor than serve the powerful. He only lived in the Sanqi Hutong every day and dealt with the poor.
Gu Jiu knew about Sanqi Hutong, which was a small alley in the south of the city.
Most of the poor live in the south of the city, and the Sanqi Hutong is a slum among the poor.
Because he was prepared when he came, Gu Jiu abandoned the carriage after crossing Zhuque Street and walked on foot by himself.
But she didn't expect that although the south of the city was dilapidated, it did not have the decline she imagined. Instead, it was filled with the atmosphere of life.
The vendors everywhere shouted loudly, and there were a wide variety of gadgets on the small stalls, and the air was filled with the smell of food. Various flavors mixed together, which looked like a scroll.
Gu Jiu has never seen such a scene in his past and present life. She was spoiled by the Gu family since she was a child, and traveled in a prosperous place. Later, she married into the Duke of Ming Dynasty. The mansion was strict and she abides by her duty and even went out less. Where did she come from such a place?
So now I feel like I'm open to my eyes when I see you.
But she was not a girl like her previous life. Even if she looked interesting, she stopped and followed the landmark along the street and followed the landmark to search for Sanqi Hutong.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the end of the street, I was stopped by a thin bamboo pole.
The bamboo pole was so dark that it was not obvious. The hands holding the bamboo pole were covered with cracks, and there was mud and dirt hidden in the nails, which looked particularly sloppy.
Gu Jiu looked around and saw an old Taoist priest in rags sitting on the side of the road. There was a table in front of him covered with dirty cloth. There were a few big words "Feng Shui, character measurement, bone touching, fortune telling" written on it. Some small paper bags were thrown casually on the side. The words on it were even more strange. Dali Wan, scattered wildly, and spring is happy...
The old Taoist priest leaned against the back of the chair crookedly, his eyes were dull, and he could tell that he was a blind man at first glance. It was also difficult for him. In this way, the bamboo pole held in his hand could accurately block his own way.
Given that this was a blind old Taoist priest, Gu Jiu was not angry immediately, but just took a step back politely and asked, "I wonder what you have to do?"
Hearing her voice, the old Taoist priest sat upright in an instant. He was clearly blind. Gu Jiu saw a little light, and then he heard him say sincerely: "Girl, when you passed by, I feel that you and I have a fate today. I will tell you a fortune for free. How about it?"
It’s a pity that what he said is sincere, but no matter how he looks, he looks like he is thinking about how to cheat the fat sheep. Even his blind eyes seem to be staring at her purse.
Gu Jiu was helpless. She had never met such a person in her past and present life. Now she is anxious to find someone, so she simply said: "Thank you, sir, but I don't tell fortunes, so I'll say goodbye first."
As soon as she was about to leave, the bamboo pole continued to stop in front of her. The old Taoist priest's voice was slightly raised: "No fortune telling, nothing else is OK. Girl, tell me, as long as you can say it, I will do it!"
This was the first time Gu Jiu met such a person, but he didn't know what to do. However, after hearing his last sentence, he thought about it and said, "I really have something to do, but I'm not telling fortunes, but wanting to find someone. Maybe you can find it for me?"
This man looked like a liar, but a blind old man must have lived not far away. If you ask him about the doctor Sun, you should have some clues, right?
As she thought this way, she saw the Taoist priest pole pole on the ground, stretched out his hand to compare two fingers, and said in a very profound way: "Then you just ask the right person. Whether you are looking for a lover or a relative, the old man can calculate clearly just by pinching his hands. It is not expensive, two cents of silver."
This was really a mess. Gu Jiu sighed, doubting the reliability of the person in front of him, but still said according to his memory: "A man named Sun, about forty or fifty years old, is a doctor, can you know him?"
