The next day, Hong Lian came early to pay her respects.
She wanted to see Gu Xuanzhi.
Song Pan'er first sent her son and daughter to study, then let Gu Yanjin go to the outer study room, only then did she start scolding Hong Lian with a cold face.
Scold her for intentionally harming Eighth Master Bao!
Hong Lian's legs went soft and she knelt on the ground, knocking her head hard, saying she didn't.
Song Pan'er remained unmoved and quietly drank her tea.
She saw a bald spot on Hong Lian's head and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Honglian originally had a head of thick and dense black hair that shone like a mirror, soft to the touch, and looked very lovely.
At that time, Honglian was most favored by Song Panner and often served beside Song Panner and Gu Yanzhen.
Gu Yan thought to himself, "This girl has a head of really beautiful hair."
These words finally stirred Hong Lian's heart.
Now, all the hair has withered and is falling out badly, and the scalp can be vaguely seen.
Song Paner suddenly felt sick: she had actually been so angry for so many years, all because of this person! No matter how great the grudge, it wasn't worth it!
"Song's mom, send her out, immediately pack some things, let Han Yu and Ying Xue follow, leave before lunch!" Song Wan'er had no interest in talking nonsense with her anymore.
Hong Lian cried until she fainted and fell to the ground.
Out of the blue, Honglian was going to be sent away.
The two maids, Han Yu and Ying Xue, did not want to follow her, one hugging Song's mother's leg, the other pulling Haitang's hem, crying pitifully: "...it was all Du's mother who came up with the idea for the madam, deliberately harming Eighth Young Master, and Third Young Master is so pitiful. We didn't do anything, just wanting to serve Third Young Master, the mistress, and the young ladies wholeheartedly..."
Du's mother heard this and her face turned black, flustered and said: "These two little hooves are full of nonsense!"
"It's all you, it's all your fault!" Han Yu cried, "You told the woman at the gate to ask Ba Shao for a sign. Ba Shao spat blood for three days, and Auntie cried bitterly... it was all you who stopped us from finding Madame..."
Song Mama and Haitang didn't expect these things in between.
The two of them exchanged a glance.
Haitang then went back and carried Song Wantong.
Song Pan'er was furious: "Throw that old witch Du out! I thought tigers don't eat their own sons, how could Hong Niang do such a cruel thing to her own child? It turns out it's this old evil woman who's behind the scenes! Throw her out! Those two little rascals Han Yu and Ying Xue must also be involved, thinking they can get away with it? Throw them out too!"
Han Yu and Ying Xue didn't even have the qualifications to go to Zhuangzi's place, they were directly sold out just like Du Mama.
Song's mother also chose two rough-serving maids from Hong Lian's courtyard and accompanied Hong Lian to the villa.
Things suddenly got out of hand and caused a huge stir at home among the people downstairs.
Honglian's departure was not told to Gu Xuanzhi by Song Panger.
Gu Xuan was still recuperating in Song Pan'er's ear chamber.
Song's mother and Haitang, who delivered medicine to him, both said that Eighth Master always asked for Madame Hong, crying and wanting to find Madame Hong.
Song Pan'er scolded: "Get out of here, you shameless thing! If you want to find Hong Niang, send him away too!"
Song's mother and Hai Tang hurriedly persuaded Song Pan'er.
Third Master would never send Gu Xuan away. Third Master always said he was timid and cowardly, and should be properly educated.
Don't annoy San Ye over these trivial matters.
Song Pan'er snorted coldly and didn't say anything more about getting rid of Gu Xuanzhi.
When Haitang gave medicine to Gu Xunzhi again, she quietly told him: Hong Niang went to the villa to fast and pray for Bodhisattva to bless Gu Xunzhi to recover soon. After Gu Xunzhi recovered, Hong Niang came back.
Gu Xuan was so sad when she heard that Hong Niang had left the mansion that she burst into tears.
Haitang comforted him for a while before he felt better, then asked timidly: "...after I get well, will my aunt come back?"
Haitang hastily nodded.
In the following days, Gu Xunzhi didn't ask Hong Niang again. She obediently lay in bed, took her medicine and nursed herself back to health, and her complexion improved somewhat.
Gu Jin also visited him once when he was ill.
She lived an ordinary life, going to her grandfather's place every day to read books.
The warm sunlight flows gently on the desk, and the light dust dots between the dense ink characters, adding a few jumping points. Gu Jin sat upright, with clear tea and light ink, his heart was calm and quiet.
It was also very quiet at home, and nothing else happened.
Song's mother and Hai Tang, under the pretext of helping Gu Xuanzhi prepare for his new home outside the city, secretly investigated the source of the "return to Beijing" rumor. Afraid of startling Song Dang'er, they were somewhat restricted in their investigation and after several days, they had no results.
Song Dang'er's mother went to visit Ming Hui Gong Zhu and her elder sister-in-law, "accidentally" mentioning the matter of Xia Lao Ye Zi, exaggerating Gu Jinzhi's abilities.
Princess Ming Hui naturally believed it.
The elder sister-in-law then spread the news quickly. Because Old Man Xia suddenly didn't celebrate his birthday, it led to a lot of speculation, and under these circumstances, this rumor was easy to believe.
With these two things happening first, Gu Jinzhi was said to be more and more divine.
Of course, since she was still a young girl who had not yet reached adulthood and was also a female, the rumors were mixed with suspicion.
There are pleasant and unpleasant ones to listen to.
Miss Gu's name thus resounded throughout Yanling's apricot forest and left a deeper impression in the alleys.
The business of Xiajia Baicao Hall has been declining gradually.
It just so happened that Qin Sheng's new pharmacy was only two streets away from Xia's Baicao Hall.
Xia Lao Ye Zi made a joke first, and Qin Shen Si's pharmacy prices were lower later. Xia Jia Bai Cao Hall gradually became deserted.
On the day Qin Shisi's new pharmacy opened, Old Master Gu had someone send over ten pills of Gu's Six Spirits to offer congratulations. This moved Qin Shisi greatly.
He knew that Mr. Gu was compiling a book recently, and he also brought many rare books collected by his ancestors, so he gave two to Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu asked Gu Jinzhi to help him copy it, and after finishing copying, he sent it back again.
He knew these books were valuable, and Qin Shen didn't have enough capital to open a pharmacy, so he couldn't bear to sell them, which shows that these books are extraordinary...
Five days later, Qin Shen personally delivered three books, all of which were handwritten copies.
After a few interactions, Mr. Gu felt that Qin Shenshi was not only honest but also knew how to show gratitude and wasn't dull, so he started to like him too.
Afterwards, Qin Sheng would often send someone with a card to request an audience, and Lao Ye would always see him.
Time has quietly arrived at July, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.
On the first day of July, when the family was having dinner, the steward suddenly brought in a letter, which was sent from Beijing to Yanling Fu by express horse.
"Big brother sent it..." Gu Yanwen looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope and said, then respectfully handed it to his father.
The old man put down his bowl and chopsticks and opened it to take a look.
After reading half of it, he snorted, slapped the letter on the table and ordered everyone: "Dinner!"
After dinner, when he returned to his room, he still didn't take the letter.
Gu Yanzheng and Song Pan'er picked it up to take a look.
