The Epic Revenge Chapter 17: Find a confidant

Last night's banquet was a big test for Gu Qingzhou. She passed it and gained a firm foothold in Yuecheng. It will be difficult for anyone to drive her back to the countryside in the future.

The Lady of the Overseer wanted to embarrass her, so she carefully arranged a good show for her. As a result, she sang wonderfully and won the favor of the Overseer, a blessing in disguise.

Think about it, it's really amazing.

"I'm lucky." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

It's just that she's completely at odds with the Overseer's wife.

After breakfast, Gu Guizhang went to the customs yamen. When he was leaving, he saw Gu Zhang and Qin Zhengzheng, but he didn't even look at them and went straight away.

The two concubines had to gloat.

Gu Qingzhou watched coldly, went upstairs and changed into an old-fashioned white shirt with a slanted front and a silver-red pleated skirt embroidered with broken branches and begonias, and then slowly went down the stairs.

She combed her thick black hair slantingly, half hanging on her chest, and braided delicate braids like a beautiful shepherdess; the skirt was conservative, covering the top of her feet, and the slightly upturned double-beam shoes were only exposed when walking. tip.

"Madam, I'll go out." Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and said to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zhengzheng raised her eyes angrily and glared at her. She was full of depression and stayed up all night in the church hospital last night.

"Where are you going, and you lost it like last time?" Qin Zhengzheng is rude, "Go back to the room, the girl's house is running around, what a formality!"

Gu Qingzhou didn't move.

She lowered her eyes, and her thick feathered eyelashes cast a thin shadow over her eyes, covering her emotions.

"I want to see Li Ma's cousin. Li Ma told me the address and said that her cousin is not in good health and often misses Li Ma. I'm afraid I won't see her in this life." Gu Qingzhou explained slowly and gracefully write.

Qin Zhengzheng is very irritable and thinks Gu Qingzhou is like a fly. If she doesn't get rid of her, she will chatter endlessly. Qin Zhengzheng can't kill her, so she has to drive her away first, then wave her hand and say: "If you want to go, you can go. Go!"

She doesn't give Gu Qingzhou money, nor does she send servants to follow.

The third concubine Su Su is shrewd and wise, knowing that Gu Qingzhou has been highly valued by the governor's house, and her future future is better than that of everyone in Gu's mansion. She intends to curry favor with Gu Qingzhou, so she gives Gu Qingzhou two yuan: "This is It's for you to take a car, and then buy some supplements to see others. It's your wet nurse's cousin and should be visited, after all, your wet nurse raised you."

Then, the third concubine called Ma Chen again and asked Ma Chen to accompany Gu Qingzhou out.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I saw the third and fourth misses go to school, and there are no servants to follow. It is probably not popular to go out with servants now."

Times have changed, and now it is not popular for celebrities to go out with maids and maids. They are popular with male companions.

Gu Qingzhou has no male companion.

She said again and again that she didn't need anyone else to accompany her and would go back early, so the third concubine didn't say anything more.

Qin Zhengzheng is not afraid that Gu Qingzhou will be lost.

It's better to lose it, better never to come back!

After Gu Qingzhou left, Qin Zhengzheng glanced at the third concubine coldly: "You are a man."

"My wife has won the prize." Third Aunt Tai smiled softly.

Qin Zhengzheng knew that Gu Guizhang was resting in the third concubine's house last night, and he must have told the third concubine about his scandal. How much!"

"Yes, my wife taught me a lesson." The third concubine smiled and didn't get angry at all.

Qin Zhengzheng fell back in anger, unable to hold it any longer, and went back to sleep.

Gu Qingzhou went out and went directly to Ping'an West Street in the old city.

Walking to Ping'an Street, she asked someone: "No. 12 on Ping'an West Street, there is a Chinese medicine shop surnamed He, how can I get there?"

The other party showed Gu Qingzhou the way seriously: "You turn in from here, and the third one is the one. There is only that pharmacy on our street."

Following the guidance of passers-by, Gu Qingzhou stepped into an old-fashioned street.

Different from Gu Mansion, Ping An West Street is still an old-fashioned wooden shop with a wooden facade. Under the short eaves, the wooden carved window lattices are also installed with glass, and there is no clear distinction between the old and the new.

"He's Pharmacy", Gu Qingzhou looked up and read this plaque made of white marble, and knew where he was.

This is a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Now the business is bleak and the facade is dilapidated.

"Are you getting the medicine, Miss?" A man in his 40s with short hair, but still wearing a front-facing gown and vest, the fabric is half-new.

He's the shopkeeper of this pharmacy. His name is He Mengde, a gentleman.

"No, I'm looking for someone." Gu Qingzhou's eyes were as calm as water, adding a bit of maturity to her tender face, making it easier to win people's trust.

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Qingzhou carefully and said, "Who is Miss?"

"I'm looking for Mu Sanniang." Gu Qingzhou said.

Shopkeeper He's expression changed, and he said indifferently: "Miss came to the wrong place, there is no Mu Sanniang here."

Gu Qingzhou still had a calm demeanor, with big eyes. Through the thick bangs, he looked at Shopkeeper He Jiyan, and his eyes were bright.

"You give this to Mu Sanniang, and she will know who I am." Gu Qingzhou said. After all, she took out a jade bracelet from her arms and placed it on the counter.

The counter is old and stripped of paint and has not been repaired for many years.

Traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, is it really the end? Gu Qingzhou was a little sad.

He looked at this jade bracelet in surprise.

He pondered for a moment, picked up the jade bracelet, and returned to the backyard.

Gu Qingzhou waited for a while, and then saw a woman wearing a coarse cloth coat, with a low bun, dressed as a forward-looking woman, and came out to see Gu Qingzhou.

"Are you.... my second brother's daughter?" The woman looked at Gu Qingzhou, her lips trembling slightly, and she asked excitedly.

This woman is Mu Sanniang.

Gu Qingzhou was in the countryside when he met a Chinese doctor who was avoiding political enemies. His name was Mu Zonghe.

Mu Zonghe saw that Gu Qingzhou was smart since she was a child, so she enlightened Gu Qingzhou since she was four years old, and taught her the pulse case and acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine.

Gu Qingzhou is a direct descendant of Mu Zonghe, and he is considered the heir of the Mu family.

The Mu family is a prominent family in Peiping. After offending the dignitaries, the family wealth was scattered. Mu Zonghe had a sister who married in Yuecheng. Now, she and her husband opened a Chinese medicine shop.

Mu Zonghe asked Gu Qingzhou to go to Yuecheng, first to visit his sister and visit them. If you want to practice medicine in the future, you can get medicine from He's Pharmacy, which is more convenient.

"Sanniang has a gentle personality, and her husband He Mengde is even more kind. I once saved He Mengde's life and raised Sanniang. After you go to Yuecheng, you can trust them and the couple." Gu Qingzhou left the village At the time, her TCM father, Mu Zonghe, explained this.

The thoughts turned back, Gu Qingzhou had found Master's relatives, and her heart was a little warm.

"Mu Zonghe is my mentor, not my father. He has not married yet." Gu Qingzhou explained.

Mu Sanniang took Gu Qingzhou's hand tightly and said, "Good boy, tell me how my second brother is doing recently, I haven't heard from him for ten years."

Even if it's not the father and daughter, getting this bracelet shows that Gu Qingzhou is a very important person in Mu Zonghe, and Mu Sanniang can't wait to ask her about it.

Speaking, Mu Sanniang led Gu Qingzhou to the backyard.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw a tall man in an extremely ill-fitting short jacket, carrying medicinal materials. When he got up, Gu Qingzhou saw his face and was slightly stunned.
