Chapter 23 Finally arrived in Liuzhou
Gu Changsheng was just as he said, and the rest of the journey was quite quiet.
Even the three eye-catching maids were made to look ordinary by her.
Good looks are a calamity, how safe it is to be like her!
Gu Changsheng looked at the three maids following behind him with hatred, and pouted his lips. Why did they have to be so beautiful? Although it looked comfortable, it was too much of a blow to himself with ordinary looks.
"Madam, Liuzhou City is ahead." Han Qiu pointed to the front from a distance.
The tall city walls can be seen. Without the official road to guide them, it took them half a month to get here by taking the country road!
Damn, the gap between the country road and the official road is too big. It turns out that the gap between the official and the people is a ravine that is difficult to cross. Gu Changsheng was almost exhausted to death on the way!
"Oh my dear mother, we are finally almost home. Comrades, victory is ahead, charge!" Gu Changsheng hugged his son and yelled, and ran to the city gate first, no longer running at the snail's pace just now.
Speaking of Gu Changsheng, in addition to physical exercise, he would never sit if he could lie down, and would never stand if he could sit. The torture he suffered along the way can be imagined.
Liuzhou City is located in the hinterland of Liuzhou. The city is magnificently built. There are two rows of officers and soldiers standing at the tall city gates, checking the pass for passing pedestrians one by one.
Gu Changsheng cooperated very well to check the pass, and took Xiao Cui and Dong Lei, who were excited, into the city.
Although the prosperity of the city is not as good as that of the capital, it is much better than the cities they have been to all the way.
"My wife, that is Luozi Hutong, there is a Huji pastry shop that makes delicious pastries." Dong Lei pointed to an alley and introduced it to Gu Changsheng with excitement.
"Madam, there is a Guanmao Street over there. It once produced a number one scholar, and a tall memorial archway was erected for the number one scholar."
"Madam, look over there, that He family mutton soup, I used to eat it often." Dong Lei pointed to a roadside stall with great joy, "Their mutton soup is thick and not fishy, I can drink three bowls at a time!"
Gu Changsheng looked at her proudly showing three fingers, glanced at her thin body, and slapped her waving hand with one claw, saying unhappily, "You don't say it, I know you are a foodie!"
"But you eat so much, and you don't gain weight, which is too hateful. If Master Du sees it, he will definitely beat you up!"
On this journey, with the twenty taels of silver, although they were not very well-off, they had never been hungry, and Dong Lei ate happily, that was called a huge appetite.
"Madam, I used to be very fat, just like this." Dong Lei drew a big circle around his body with his hands, and that feeling must be three or four times bigger than hers now.
"Well, that's good. You can continue to eat for that figure, and let me feel more balanced." Gu Changsheng nodded seriously. This little girl is too thin and looks too good. It's better to be a little fatter, safer!
"Well, don't worry, my lady. I will eat two big bowls of rice every meal, and I will definitely make myself fat. This way, it's really ugly." Dong Lei touched his body without half a pound of meat with disdain. It was really ugly.
Gu Changsheng was too lazy to correct Xiao Lei's aesthetics. In her eyes, only those with big shoulders, round waists and fat bodies can be considered beautiful. What should I say? Anyway, she won't believe it, so let her continue to be distorted.
"My lady, Tongji Street is in front. Gu's Medical Clinic is on that street. When the old man was alive, Gu's Medical Clinic was very prosperous. All the patients came to line up for consultation before dawn..." Xiao Cui pointed to a street corner and shouted loudly.
Passers-by frequently looked back and watched.
Gu Changsheng was also very excited. It took several months to travel from the capital to the south, from the beginning of summer to the hot summer. She couldn't wait to find a nest of her own to wash off the dust of the road.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead the way!" Gu Changsheng patted Xiao Cui's head and walked to the intersection of Tongji Street with his son in his arms. Tongji
Street is quite wide and can accommodate two carriages in parallel. There are also many shops on the street, which is quite prosperous.
Gu Changsheng looked all the way and was quite satisfied, and felt relieved.
But she didn't feel at ease for long. She was worried and looked at the lonely shop in front of her. The shop was not small, but the mud on the wall had fallen off, the tiles on the eaves were broken, and the door panels and window frames were old. Gu Changsheng widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Cui in disbelief, "Xiao Cui, you said this is Gu's Medical Clinic?"
Xiao Cui scratched her head blankly and replied puzzledly, "It's right here. You see, next to it is Liang's Rice Shop, and opposite is Wang's Cloth Shop. I remembered it correctly..." If
you remembered it correctly, where is the Gu's Medical Clinic that you said is very impressive? What's the matter with this dilapidated shop in front of you that looks like it will fall down with a gust of wind? There is not even a door plaque!
Xiao Cui's memory must be confused! Gu Changsheng looked at Xiao Cui with regret and shook his head. It's pitiful that she has a bad memory at such a young age...
"Mom, is this our home?" Little meat bun Gu Ze pointed to the wooden door with a hole. Didn't mom say that she would be home soon, why didn't she go in?
Gu Changsheng looked in the direction of his finger, then shook his head firmly and replied, "No!"
But ideals are always full, and reality is undoubtedly the most skinny.
"Miss?"
As soon as Gu Changsheng finished saying "No", a voice came from the side, with a hint of hesitation and disbelief.
Gu Changsheng turned around as if struck by lightning, and saw an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a coarse sweatshirt, holding a bunch of green vegetables tightly in his arms, and his wrinkled face was filled with surprise and hesitation that could not be concealed.
This must be her hallucination. She traveled south with great expectations, but what awaited her was not a luxurious house with carved beams and beams, but a dilapidated scene in front of her.
God must be playing a trick on her. She had to find a place to take a nap. Maybe when she woke up, this nightmare-like hallucination would disappear...
"Old Father Song, Old Father Song, do you still remember me? I'm Cuihua!" Xiao Cui reacted and rushed over, tears flashing in her eyes.
"Cuihua?" Old Song turned around and looked at the ordinary girl in front of him. He remembered that she used to be a pretty girl with delicate features. Why did she look more and more ordinary now?
Gu Changsheng watched the scene of the reunion of old friends with lifeless eyes. Xiao Cui was deeply immersed in the play, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
Old Song also cooperated and wiped his tears, repeatedly lamenting Xiao Cui's tragic experience of becoming a rough maid.
He also loudly condemned the Li family's ungratefulness and heartless divorce, and had the momentum to go to Beijing to seek justice.
They were reminiscing happily in front of the medicine shop, and Gu Changsheng stood aside and watched with the heart of death. Originally, she had two children and three girls to support, but now, there are old people above and children below. Damn, it's complete!
After listening to Xiao Cui's chatter, Old Song remembered that he was still outside. He bowed to Gu Changsheng, put down the vegetables in his arms, and opened the rusty lock on the door.
"It's good that you're back, Miss, it's good that you're back, go home and talk..."
Gu Changsheng followed Old Song into the clinic in a daze. The lobby of the clinic was quite spacious and clean. Although the furnishings looked a bit old, they still retained the appearance of a clinic. Two rows of medicine cabinets stood by the wall, and in front of them was a medicine distribution table with a medicine distribution scale on it. The scale plate and weight were wiped very clean. Opposite the door of the clinic was a Norda table with a faded pulse pillow on it. Gu Changsheng knew that this must be the diagnosis table. Behind the diagnosis table was a table with an abacus on it. The abacus beads were still reflecting light, and it seemed that someone was rubbing it from time to time.
Although the lobby of this clinic is dilapidated, it is still well preserved, much better than it looks from the outside, and the layout is also reasonable. Patients go to the consultation table for consultation, then take the room to the back to negotiate the price and pay, and then go to the side to get medicine.
"Miss, it's because I'm incompetent and I didn't take good care of the clinic. I have to rely on Master Fu and Miss..." Old Song closed the door and looked back at Gu Changsheng who was standing in the hall and looking around. He knelt down with a plop and confessed with tears, "I'm incompetent. I've been following the master for a lifetime and can barely recognize medicinal materials. I've watched the clinic fall into this state, but I can't do anything to save it. Please punish me, Miss. It's my fault. I'm incompetent..."
Gu Changsheng turned around and looked at the old servant kneeling in front of him with a bleak look, then looked at the empty drawers of the medicine cabinet, and then looked at the several living people who were crying for support. He
raised his head angrily, looked at the sky, and pointed a finger hatefully.
"Oh my god, you're going to fight me, aren't you? I'm not done with you!" It turns out that being kicked out of the house is not the worst, and being alone and helpless after being kicked out of the house is not the worst. The worst is that the wealth just now is gone, and the hometown she wanted to go to is in such a state!
What did Gu Changsheng do to anyone? She deserves to be tortured!
Damn the time travel, damn the halo of the heroine, it's all bullshit!
Everyone had gotten used to such a lady and chose to remain silent. Even the little bastard lowered his head and twisted his sleeves. His mother was hitting him again…
But Old Song was not used to it. He raised his head in horror from his kneeling on the ground, tears still hanging on his old face, staring blankly at the lady in front of him…
"Miss, you…"
Why are you like this… Old Song couldn't even finish a sentence. He still remembered the young lady sitting on the swing in the backyard, kicking her legs and reciting the "Compendium of Materia Medica"…
When the young lady grew up, she lived in the backyard and seldom came out, but she was still very different from the way she was in front of him…
Gu Changsheng withdrew his hand resentfully and waved to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, go, Uncle Song help him up."
Xiao Cui obediently stepped forward and helped Old Song up from the ground.
"Song Bo, this is not your fault. It's your wife's bad luck. I am Tang Sanzang of the Zhou Dynasty. I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the right result without going through 81 trials." Gu Changsheng sighed. Damn it, God is addicted to playing with her. This matter is really unreasonable! The
drizzle on the eaves stopped at the first meeting.
The reunion of old friends is indeed the most sad.
