Zihao pen walked on the Chengxintang paper spread out on the bookcase, he hung his wrist, stroke by stroke, very freehand.

After Wan Baochang came in and was very arrogant, he didn't even lift his eyelids. As if he had expected this result, he laughed: "When you encounter tough bones, how can you be so polite?"

This is a very ordinary-sounding remark.

At that time, Gu Chengqian didn't care, only seeing Wan Baochang's embarrassed appearance, his heart tightened with anger, and he immediately placed the medicine bowl on the table.

"If you don't invite me, I won't invite you! The old man who buried half of his body in the soil has suffered from pain all these years? It's not bad in the past few years! From now on, no one is allowed to invite him again!"

A strict order went down, and all the people in the house obeyed.

After that, no one really went to Huishengtang again, but every time the sky was cloudy and cold, someone always remembered: If the ghost hand Zhang Kenzhi, maybe the old lady's problem can be cured, right?

After so many years, the original scene is still vivid in my mind.

Gu Chengqian sighed: "I didn't even think that there would be a day when I could see the medicine in Huishengtang. The General's Mansion, sent by the General's wife..."

Isn't that Xue Kuang's widow, Lu Jiuling's only daughter, Lu Jinxi?

At this moment, Gu Chengqian looked at his classmate, classmate, and colleague at the end of the mahogany carved lacquer coffee table.

Lu Jiuling was a few years older than Gu Chengqian, and looked just as old.

He was wearing a dark blue uniform and a black green cloak, and sat on the chair with a long beard. He was afraid of being disturbed by the wind outside, so he clipped it with a beard clip.

When he heard Wan Baochang say "Mrs. General", he was stunned.

After a long time, he asked Wan Baochang, "You just said, Madam General?"

Wan Baochang also knew the pain in the heart of this old man, and even heard that the old general's wife was ill a month ago, and he refused to see him. Now that he heard that the general's wife was here, how could he not be excited?

He hurriedly replied: "It is indeed the wife of the Great General. She came with the eldest princess Yongning, and I was shocked when I saw her. She looked very good, as if she had recovered from her illness. I told her, you I was talking to the adults of our family in the study, and my wife returned, and I came here today to meet you."

"Good, good, good..."

After speaking in a row, Lu Jiuling's mouth was vague, and she couldn't find any other words.

Sitting next to Gu Chengqian, his wrinkled face was already in a trance.

Wan Baochang was a little frightened by his appearance, and was a little frightened for a while, only Gu Chengqian shook his head at him, and only asked him to hand over the golden box to himself, don't disturb Lu Jiuling,

It's all suffering from old age, how could he not know the situation of Lu Jiuling's daughter?

When got a daughter at a young age, loved her like a precious pearl, and just looked at her as a charming girl forever. In the future, relying on the lintel of the Lu family, why should she stay until the age of 20, teach her some things in the inner house, and then choose a poet and calligraphy scholar from Beijing or Jiangnan to marry.

In this way, unless you are forty and childless, you are not allowed to take concubines.

His daughter doesn't have to worry about not getting through life at all.

Everything is planned well.

Even in many banquets and private gatherings, Lu Jiuling often mentioned it with a smile on her face.

The Lu family's child, although it is said that although he does not have the same ability as Wei Yi, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, he is kind and docile, and is very popular with the elders.

Gu Chengqian is busy with official business, and suffers from leg problems all the year round, so he doesn't go out very much, and only sees the little girl a few times.

In the impression, it is also gentle and charming, and it is painful.

But who would have thought?

Everything Lu Jiuling planned for her daughter failed in the end.

Emperor Qing'an said that marriage is a gift, and there is no room for change.

The son-in-law that Lu Jiuling envisaged "was born in a Confucian family, and didn't accept a concubine until he had no children in his forties."

Even at that time, his daughter was only sixteen, and everything in the house was not fully learned.

When she went to the General's Mansion like this, even if she had a valuable status, even if Xue Kuang never treated her beside her, and even never took a concubine for more than five years, how could life be easy?

Originally, it was brocade clothes and jade food to nourish his body, and poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness to nourish his spirit.

This time, it's good, and before can take care of it, it has become a thousand kinds of internal discussions.

For the past eleven years, Lu Jiuling has been gnashing his teeth every time he mentioned the General's Mansion!

Just who can be blamed?

Who dare to blame?

When Xue Kuang brought Hu Ji and the lame son back to Beijing, he did not go to the palace gate to kneel long, but Emperor Qing An only asked people to persuade him to go back.

When he returned, he almost fell ill.

The emperor's life is difficult.

Even if one does not want to marry, and the other does not want to marry, who would dare to tie the rise and fall of the family's fate to such a marriage?

At that time, Xue Huan, who had lost his second room in the General's Mansion, even Xue Kuang's elder brother Xue Leng also went, which can be regarded as a loneliness and loneliness;

The Lu family, although a scholarly family, never had much real power, and it was just better when it came to Lu Jiuling.

How can the two of them be compared with the Gu family and the Wei family?

The emperor can squeeze to death by moving his fingers, and he doesn't even have to worry about hurting his muscles and bones.

So, in the end, it still became such a "bad fate".

Seeing Lu Jiuling sitting there now, a deep trance and sadness appeared on his face, Gu Chengqian thought about it, and sadness also came from it.

Where is he himself?

"Clap."

He twisted the bronze lock of Huishengtang in the shape of Tiannanxing's leaves.

The things lying inside were also reflected in his eyes one by one: medicine stickers, prescriptions, and doctor's orders were all available, including those for knees, those for foot baths, and even decoctions for oral administration.

"Ugh……"

Gu Chengqian let out a long sigh, but he knew how deep his heart was hidden in this small box.

Gu Mansion went up and down and visited Huishengtang for many years, and Guishou Zhang was afraid that he had already recited his illness. This doctor's order is written, but all of them correspond to his illness...

First, Lu Jinxi could remember his problem, second, he dared to go to Huishengtang again to ask for medicine, and thirdly, he was successful.

It's a thing, it's a mind.

It is not like the rumors from the outside world, too kind and gentle, cowardly and incompetent.

There was a warm warm current in my heart for a while, and it slowly flowed away, making Gu Chengqian feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Jiuling has a good daughter.

He slowly closed the lid of the brocade box again, but he didn't know what to say or think for a while, so he only ordered Wan Baochang: "Go and tell Madam in person, Madam General does not like to go out of the house, and it is rare to come out for a walk. , don't be lazy."

Wan Bao often listened to it and understood in his heart.

The general's wife was originally a first-class official, and she was on an equal footing with the Taishi's wife, Tang Shi, so it was impossible to neglect her, let alone accompanying Princess Yongning?

The old man added that he was going to be a guest of honor.

He hurriedly bowed and answered "yes", and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Jiuling stood up directly from the chair, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be deeper, she only said: "Since you are going, show me a ride. stable……"

Gu Chengqian heard this, and his heart was filled with endless bitterness.

"Bao Chang, you just take Mr. Lu there, and you can ask Mrs. General to see you in the side hall."

"Yes." Wan Baochang knew in his heart that this was Lord Lu's love for his daughter, and he wanted to see it, so he waved his hand and said, "Please come with me, Lord Lu."

Lu Jiuling didn't talk nonsense, and even forgot to say goodbye to Gu Chengqian.
