The Epic Revenge

The banquet last night was a big test for Gu Qingzhou. She passed it and gained a firm foothold in Yuecheng. It will be difficult for anyone to drive her back to the countryside in the future.

The Overseer’s wife wanted to make her a fool, so she carefully arranged a good show for her. As a result, she sang wonderfully and won the favor of the Overseer, a blessing in disguise.

Come to think of it, the creation is really amazing.

“I’m lucky.” Gu Qingzhou smiled.

It’s just that she had a bad relationship with the Overseer’s wife.

After breakfast, Gu Guizhang went to the customs yamen, and when he was leaving, he saw Gu Zhang and Qin Zhengzheng, but he didn’t even look at them and left.

The two concubines had to gloat over the misfortune.

Gu Qingzhou watched coldly, went upstairs and changed into an old-fashioned white shirt with a slanted front and a silver-red pleated skirt embroidered with broken branches and begonias, and then slowly went down the stairs.

She combed her thick black hair diagonally and hung it halfway down her chest, braided delicately, like a beautiful shepherdess; her skirt was conservative, covering the top of her feet, and only the slightly upturned toes of her double beam shoes were exposed when she walked.

“Madam, I’ll go out.” Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and said to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zhengzheng raised her eyes angrily and stared at her. She was full of depression and stayed up all night in the church hospital last night.

“Where are you going, and you lost it like last time?” Qin Zhengzheng was rude, “Go back to the room, the girl’s house is running around, what kind of decency!”

Gu Qingzhou didn’t move.

She lowered her eyes, and her slender feathered eyelashes cast a thin shadow on her eyes, covering her emotions.

“I want to see Li Ma’s cousin. Li Ma told me the address, saying that her cousin is not in good health, and she often misses Li Ma. I’m afraid I won’t see her in this life.” Gu Qingzhou explained slowly and gracefully.

Qin Zhengzheng was very irritable and felt that Gu Qingzhou was like a fly. If she didn’t get rid of her, she would chatter endlessly. Qin Zhengzheng couldn’t kill her, so he had to drive her away first, then waved his hand and said, “Go if you want! “

She doesn’t give Gu Qingzhou money, nor does she send servants to follow.

The third concubine Su Su is shrewd and wise, knowing that Gu Qingzhou has been highly valued by the governor’s house, and her future future is better than that of everyone in Gu’s mansion. She intends to curry favor with Gu Qingzhou, so she gives Gu Qingzhou two yuan: “this is for you. If you’re in the car, buy some supplements to see others. It’s your wet nurse’s cousin and should be visited, after all, your wet nurse raised you.”

Then, the third concubine called Ma Chen again and asked Ma Chen to accompany Gu Qingzhou out.

Gu Qingzhou said with a smile: “I saw the third and fourth misses go to school, and there are no servants with them. It’s probably not popular to go out with servants now.”

Times have changed, and now it is not popular for ladies to go out with servants and maids, but they are popular with male companions.

Gu Qingzhou has no male companion.

She said again and again that she didn’t need anyone else to accompany her and would go back early, so the third concubine didn’t say anything more.

Qin Zhengzheng was not afraid that Gu Qingzhou would be lost.

It’s better to lose it, and it’s better never to come back!

After Gu Qingzhou left, Qin Zhengzheng looked at the third concubine coldly: “You are a man.”

“My wife has won the prize.” The third aunt smiled softly.

Qin Zhengzheng knew that Gu Guizhang was resting in the third concubine’s house last night, and he must have told the third concubine about his scandal. !”

“Yes, my wife taught me a lesson.” The third aunt smiled and didn’t get angry at all.

Qin Zhengzheng fell back in anger, unable to hold it any longer, and went back to sleep.

Gu Qingzhou went out and went directly to Ping’an West Street in the old city.

When she walked to Ping’an Street, she asked someone, “There is a Chinese medicine shop named He at No. 12 Ping’an West Street. How can I get there?”

The other party showed Gu Qingzhou the way seriously: “You turn in from here, and the third one is the only one. There is only that pharmacy on our street.”

Following the guidance of passers-by, Gu Qingzhou stepped into an old-fashioned street.

Unlike Gu Mansion, Ping An West Street is still an old-fashioned wooden shop with a wooden facade. Under the short eaves, the wooden carved window lattices are also installed with glass, and there is no clear separation between the old and the new.

“He’s Pharmacy”, Gu Qingzhou looked up and read the plaque made of white marble, and knew where he was.

This is a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Now the business is bleak and the facade is dilapidated.

“Miss, are you getting the medicine?” A man in his 40s, with short hair, was still wearing a long gown and vest from the front, and the fabric was half-new.

He is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy, and his name is He Mengde, who is honest and polite.

“No, I’ll find someone.” Gu Qingzhou’s eyes were as calm as water, adding a bit of maturity to her tender face, making it easier to win people’s trust.

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Qingzhou carefully and said, “Who are you looking for, Miss?”

“I’m looking for Mu Sanniang.” Gu Qingzhou said.

Shopkeeper He’s expression changed, and he suddenly said indifferently, “Miss came to the wrong place, there is no Mu Sanniang here.”

Gu Qingzhou still had a calm demeanor, with big eyes. Through his thick bangs, he looked at Shopkeeper He Ge, his eyes bright.

“You give this to Mu Sanniang, and she will know who I am.” Gu Qingzhou said. After all, she took out a jade bracelet from her arms and placed it on the counter.

The counter is old and stripped of paint and has not been repaired for many years.

Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, is it really the end? Gu Qingzhou was a little sad.

Shopkeeper He was surprised to see this jade bracelet, which was pure in texture and had a warm luster.

He pondered for a moment, picked up the jade bracelet, and returned to the backyard.

Gu Qingzhou waited for a while, and then saw a woman wearing a coarse cloth coat, with a low bun, dressed as a forward-looking woman, came out to see Gu Qingzhou.

“Are you… the daughter of my second brother?” The woman looked at Gu Qingzhou, her lips trembling slightly, and she asked excitedly.

This woman is Mu Sanniang.

When Gu Qingzhou was in the countryside, he met a famous Chinese doctor named Mu Zonghe who avoided political enemies.

Mu Zonghe saw that Gu Qingzhou was smart from a young age, so she enlightened Gu Qingzhou since she was four years old, and taught her the pulse case and acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine.

Gu Qingzhou is a direct descendant of Mu Zonghe, and he is considered the heir of the Mu family.

The Mu family was a prominent family in Peiping. After offending the dignitaries, the family wealth was wiped out. Mu Zonghe had a sister who married in Yuecheng and now opened a traditional Chinese medicine shop with her husband.

Mu Zonghe asked Gu Qingzhou to go to Yuecheng to visit his sister first and visit them. If you want to practice medicine in the future, you can get medicine from He’s Pharmacy, which is more convenient.

“Sanniang has a gentle personality, and her husband He Mengde is even more kind. I once saved He Mengde’s life and raised Sanniang. After you go to Yuecheng, you can trust them and the couple.” When Gu Qingzhou left the village, she Mu Zonghe, the father of traditional Chinese medicine physician, explained this.

When her mind turned around, Gu Qingzhou had found her master’s relatives, and her heart was a little warm.

“Mu Zonghe is my teacher, not my father. He has not married yet.” Gu Qingzhou explained.

Mu Sanniang grabbed Gu Qingzhou’s hand tightly and said, “Good boy, tell me quickly how my second brother is doing. I haven’t heard from him for ten years.”

Even if it’s not the father and daughter, getting this bracelet shows that Gu Qingzhou is a very important person in Mu Zonghe, and Mu Sanniang can’t wait to ask her.

With that said, Mu Sanniang led Gu Qingzhou to the backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he saw a tall man in an extremely ill-fitting short jacket, carrying medicinal materials. When he got up, Gu Qingzhou saw his face and was slightly stunned.
