Chapter 2: play off

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 has made her body worse.
Fortunately, everything is too late.
She just had a cold, inflammation, and her body was harmed 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 would know that she 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 in her eyes, she choked up and said, "Girl, are you better?"
"Qingmei, come here soon." 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 and maid 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 Xiao Cui who was standing next to him: "Xiao Cui, you go and guard, don't let anyone in. If Tao Hong is here, 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 Xiao Cui 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 coughed up.
"Are you okay, miss."
After coughing for a few times, 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, which contained the monthly bills she had accumulated over the years, as well as precious cloths. It can be said that all her property is in that cabinet.
The cabinet is locked and the key is in Taohong's hand.
Gu Jiu clenched her fists, she must get the key back. No outsider should be in charge of fiscal power.
"Qingmei, I have two things for you to do."
"The girl just ask."
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, when the master comes back from the yamen, he must ask the master 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 slave is willing." Qingmei nodded with tears in her eyes. "But the slave 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 just after getting out of bed and walking a few steps, she panted.
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 started writing the prescription.
A stroke of silk flower in lower letters appeared weak and weak, which was in line with her current physical condition.
The prescription was written, and she handed it to Qingmei,
You go to the storeroom to grab the medicine. If the lady in charge makes you embarrassed, you don’t have to argue with them. You can take what kind of medicinal materials they give you. use."
Qingmei worried, "If the screwdriver gave me the medicinal materials that are moldy and deteriorating, what would be good? How can my condition get better if the girl can't get good medicinal materials."
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, "The 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 slave and maid will definitely do the things you explained."
Ome hurried away.
Gu Jiu sat at the desk, closed his eyes and rested. The sun shines on his 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 bed, holding 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, "Training Peach Red. 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 dissatisfied: "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 and I haven't seen any improvement. It can be seen that 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 hold 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 bed, "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, his eyebrows were weak, and he seemed to be compromising, "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 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 and maid 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 I don't like pink serving.
Tao Hong took a deep breath, "Girl, slave servants serve you to drink medicine." Her tone was tougher than Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and was silent!
Neither speak nor drink medicine.
Tao Hong was suddenly so angry.
If Xiao Cui is not allowed to serve, she will not 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.
