Chapter 2 Provocation
Gu Jiu's body was very weak, and only one conversation made her feel tired.
In addition, taking the wrong medicine for a long time made her body worse.
Fortunately, everything is too late.
She just had a cold, inflammation, and her body was infested by the wrong medicine.
As long as the prescription is changed and the decoction is made with the best medicinal materials, she will soon recover.
"Girl, sister Qingmei is here."
Xiao Cui deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was afraid Tao Hong knew she had called Qingmei over.
Gu Jiu heard the sound and looked towards the door.
Qingmei is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, standing at the door with a haggard face in a white-washed dress.
With tears gleaming in her eyes, she choked up: "Girl, are you better?"
"Qingmei, come here quickly." Gu Jiu waved at her.
Qingmei made three steps and two steps before coming to the bed and kneeling directly.
She looked at Gu Jiu's face and blamed herself, "The slave can't wait on the girl's side, and the girl suffers."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "I'm fine. Get up and talk."
Qingmei wiped her tears, got up and sat on the footstool.
Gu Jiu said to Xiaocui who was standing beside him: "Xiaocui, you go outside and guard, don't let people come in. If Taohong comes, you scream at the door."
Xiao Cui opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to refuse. Suddenly remembering how Gu Jiu had lost her temper before, she walked out silently.
After Xiaocui left, Qingmei asked in a low voice, "Girl, do you have something to tell the servant?"
Gu Jiu laughed with satisfaction, she was indeed a clever maid.
Gu Jiu was about to speak when he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat, and couldn't help coughing up.
"Girl, are you okay."
After coughing a few times before stopping, Gu Jiu waved his hand and said softly, "I'm fine. Qingmei, I ask you, are all the keys of Zhilan Academy in Taohong's hands?"
Qingmei nodded, "Since Tao Hong came, all of the girl's belongings have been in charge of Tao Hong."
Gu Jiu stared at the cabinet on the shelf, inside it was the monthly silver she had accumulated over the years, as well as precious cloths. It can be said that all her belongings are in that cabinet.
The cabinet is locked and the key is in Tao Hong's hand.
Gu Jiu clenched her fists, she must get the key back. There is no room for an outsider to be in charge of fiscal power.
"Qingmei, I have two things for you to do."
"Girl just give me orders."
Gu Jiu stared at Qingmei, "The first thing, you go to the storeroom to get the medicine according to the prescription. The second thing, go to see the young man Li Chuan next to your brother. You tell him that when the master comes back from the office, he must ask the master to ask him. Go to Zhilan Academy."
Qingmei looked up at Gu Jiu with a nervous expression, "What is the girl going to do?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "I want you to come back to serve me, are you willing?"
"The servant girl is willing." Qingmei nodded with tears in her eyes, "but the servant girl has no prescription for the girl, so she went to the warehouse and didn't know what medicine to take."
Gu Jiu said, "Prepare pen and ink, and I will write you the prescription."
Qiaomei nodded and got up to get his pen and ink.
When she wants to come, the girl drinks medicine all day long, she must be familiar with the prescription.
As everyone knows, Gu Jiu completely judged the prescription from the bite he had tasted before.
The pen and ink are ready.
Gu Jiu said, "Help me over."
Qingmei helped Gu Jiu get out of bed, "Girl beware."
Gu Jiu panted. This body is too weak to be as weak as Sister Lin, and as soon as she gets out of bed and walks a few steps, she pants.
With the help of Qingmei, Gu Jiu came to the desk.
The desk was leaning against the window, which was tightly closed and dimly lit.
Gu Jiu said, "Open the window."
"Girl, be careful that the wind blows, and the condition gets worse."
Gu Jiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe something. I haven't seen the sun for a long time, you open the window to let me breathe."
Ome followed the order and opened half of the window.
The dappled sunlight came in and reflected on Gu Jiu's face.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was the smell of sunlight and it smelled so good.
She laughed, with a gentle smile and warm eyes. Then he picked up the pen and began to write the prescription.
A small stroke of silk flower appears weak and weak, which is also in line with her current physical condition.
The prescription was written, and she handed it to Qingmei, βYou go to the storeroom to grab the medicine. If the lady in charge makes you embarrassed, you donβt have to argue with them. You can take what kind of medicinal materials they give you. The medicinal materials are almost okay. use."
Qiaomei worried, "If the screwdriver gives medicinal materials that are moldy and deteriorating, how can it be better? If the girl can't get good medicinal materials, how can his condition get better."
Gu Jiu laughed, "If the warehouse manager really gives you the moldy and deteriorating medicinal materials, that would be great."
"Girl?" Qingmei puzzled.
Gu Jiu said, "You don't have to ask more about this, just follow what I said. Qingmei, I will definitely let you come back to me."
Qingmei burst into tears, "A slave girl is not worth it."
"You are worth it! You are my maid, and I need you by my side. After you get the medicinal materials, remember to see Li Chuan."
Qingmei put the prescription next to her body, and solemnly said: "Don't worry, girl, the servant girl will do the things you explained."
Ome hurried away.
Gu Jiu sat at the desk, closed his eyes and rested. The sun shines on the face, showing warmth.
Xiao Cui stood at the door, wanting to enter but not daring to enter.
"Is it Xiaocui, come in."
Xiao Cui walked into the bedroom, "Girl, you are weak, so go back to the bed and lie down."
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and raised his hand Xuxu, "You hold me."
Xiao Cui helped Gu Jiu go to bed. Gu Jiu found a comfortable posture, leaned against the head of the bed, with a book in his hand, and flipped through two pages.
Tao Hong stared at the little maid and decocted the medicine, filtered the medicine residue, and brought the medicine to the bedroom by herself.
"Girl, take medicine!"
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand, coughing again and again, sick and haggard, "Thanksgiving pink. Put the medicine on the table."
"The doctor said, drink it while it's hot."
Gu Jiu wrinkled his nose and said weakly, "Too soup, sore throat."
"Girl, listen to what the doctor said, and drank the medicine quickly."
Tao Hong took the medicine bowl and came to the bed. If there is a big discrepancy, the medicine must be forcibly filled.
Gu Jiute looked at the medicine bowl in her hand with disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's too bitter and hot, I don't want to drink it."
"How can the girl get better if she doesn't take medicine."
"I have drunk so many medicines in the past six months, but I haven't seen any improvement. It can be seen that the doctor Xu who prescribes the medicine is a quack, and I don't drink this medicine."
Tao Hong was condescending, "Girl, this is not the time to be petty. Both the wife and the master have instructed the servants to supervise the girl and drink the medicine. Xiaocui, you can help the girl and I will give the medicine."
Gu Jiu glanced at Tao Hong, and Tao Hong really planned to forcibly pour the medicine.
Xiao Cui walked to the bedside, "Girl, you still have to drink the medicine while it's hot, so that the illness will heal quickly."
Gu Jiu's expression was guilty, and his eyebrows were weak. It seemed that he had compromised. "Xiao Cui was right. Give me the medicine and I will drink it."
Xiaocui was very happy, "Sister Taohong, the girl is willing to drink medicine."
Tao Hong stared sharply at Xiao Cui. What a shabby hoof, so that the girl only listens to you, not me. I gave up so much tongue and never persuaded the girl. A word of you actually made the girl change her mind.
Xiaocui looked upset, "Sister Taohong, why are you looking at me like this, did I say something wrong?"
"Xiao Cui, come and serve me to drink medicine." Gu Jiu added fuel to the fire.
Tao Hong suppressed her anger, and said to Gu Jiu: "Girl, let the slave servant serve you. Xiao Cui is clumsy, I'm afraid it might not serve you well."
Gu Jiu covered her lips with her hands, her expression was weak, but her tone of voice was very strong, "Xiao Cui served me well. I like her to serve me."
The implication is that don't like pink serving.
Tao Hong took a deep breath, "Girl, slave servants are serving you to drink medicine." Her tone was stronger than Gu Jiu's.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and was silent!
Neither speak nor drink medicine.
Tao Hong was suddenly so angry that she smoked.
If you don't let Xiao Cui serve, you don't drink medicine.
good, very good.
Tao Hong said dissatisfiedly: "The girl is really big-tempered today. It seems that the girl dislikes the slaves and the rough hands and feet, which is not what you want. Xiao Cui, you come and serve the girl to drink medicine."
It stands to reason that if she said this, the girl should say a few soft words, not let Xiao Cui wait, this matter will pass.
As a result, things did not develop as she expected.
