rebirth [rebirth]

In order not to delay other people from entering the city, the centurion guarding the city specially opened the gate on the right side to let the Gu family pass through.

The people nearby saw it and started talking about it.

Originally, they had waited for a day, and they didn't have cotton-padded cloaks like rich people, so standing in the cold wind for a day was too much, and many people's hands and feet were swollen, and they didn't dare to complain, so they could only wait.

The Gu family had carts and horses, and they were pulling such a big nanmu coffin, they were not ordinary people at first glance.

At first they waited with the team, and the people naturally didn't say anything, but now that the city gate was about to be closed, they were let into the city first, and naturally the good-for-nothing person shouted: "Master, why are they advancing?" , can we get in if we pay a few more coppers?"

One shouted, and the others naturally followed the crowd, and the scene became chaotic after a while, and the soldiers had to add more people at the gate of the city, so that they were not allowed to break into the city by pushing and shoving.

With a dark face, the centurion came out and stood in front of the crowd with a gun.

He was born tall and mighty, with a somewhat ferocious face, the common people are timid after all, seeing that this is a high official, they gradually lost their voices.

The centurion's voice was very loud, and he said directly: "The team here is Gu Daru's relatives. Gu Daru committed suicide because of integrity, and his family returned to his hometown with the help of his family. Should I let him wait outside the city overnight?" ?"

Most of the common people have never read the book, but they also know Gu Zhenli. After hearing his words, they lost their voices. Some elderly scholars rushed to the Gu family caravan to salute from afar, and even the common people at the gate also saluted in twos and threes.

Gu Guangbo saw everything in this scene.

He didn't go in with the convoy, but stood quietly at the gate of the city.After all the convoys had entered, he came slowly, bowed to everyone earnestly and repeatedly, he didn't say a word during the whole process, his face was sad, and he went straight into the city after saluting.

As the sunset approached, the entire city of Fengcheng seemed to be quiet. The colorful sunset glow reflected the thick snow on the bluestone road, making the whole capital warm.

The sea breeze blowing from the sea seems to be still wet, and it hurts people's faces.The Gu family is not in Fengcheng City, but in Ding'an County at the foot of the distant mountain. They will pass through the entire Fengcheng City, and then turn to the north.

The Gu family who entered the city were not in a hurry, they first found a medical clinic to see Rong Jingheng.

Because he was going back home today, Rong Jingxuan asked the others to eat first, and he and Xie Mingze accompanied Rong Jingheng.

Zhong Qi asked the centurion about this clinic just now, saying that it is an old genius doctor with excellent medical skills. When Rong Jingxuan carried his younger brother into the clinic, he saw a gray-haired old man going to the backyard. .

It was dinner time, and there were no other patients in the clinic, and the old doctor probably went home for dinner.

Xie Mingze hurriedly called out: "Doctor, please take a look. My younger brother had a fever during the day and is now unconscious."

As soon as the old doctor heard this, he immediately turned around and walked back, and hurriedly asked Rong Jingxuan to put Rong Jingheng on the bamboo bed. When he came over, he first looked at his face, then at the base of his tongue, and finally he concentrated on his pulse.

Rong Jingxuan only felt his heart lift, he subconsciously held Xie Mingze's hand, and stared closely at his younger brother.

The old doctor quickly let go, and touched the other side of the vein for a while, then got up and said: "This little brother, did you have cold poison in your body when you were born?"

Rong Jingxuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.

Even Xie Mingze didn't know about this old palace affair, but now the old doctor has diagnosed it immediately, which shows that he has excellent medical skills.

"Yes, the doctor is very skilled."

The old doctor stroked his beard, pondered for a long time before saying: "To be honest, this child has been fed Taifang all these years, but the medicines are expensive and the meals are also careful on weekdays, so it is not bad to raise him until now, but the residual poison has not disappeared. , so now when it is cold or hot, you are tired and impatient, and you are prone to fever and illness.”

Rong Jingxuan nodded again.

The old doctor didn't speak immediately, but just stood there silent for a long time.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze have been in high positions all year round, and their demeanor and dignity are not ordinary. Although they are busy with dust and dust at the moment, their faces are clean, their eyes are bright and their feet are steady, and they look like the children of a lord.Another one, these are all new faces, he has never seen them in Fengcheng, the old doctor hesitated for a moment.

It's not been peaceful recently. To be honest, he can cause less trouble if he can, but the child on the hospital bed is only in his teens, about the size of his grandson. Now that he has felt his pulse, he naturally can't let it go.

The heart of the doctor's parents... The old doctor sighed, and finally said: "He is so old, the cold poison has already penetrated into the lungs, I am afraid it cannot be pulled out completely."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the two young men were distressed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, even if the poison is not clean, the old man will try his best to make his body strong, so that he won't collapse when he encounters cold or heat. At least you can live a normal life.”

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were very pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

For so many years, the imperial physicians always told them that His Highness Sixth Highness could not be cured. He was born weak and unstable, so they could only hold on and try their best to let him die day by day.

But according to this ordinary medical doctor, Rong Jingheng's illness still has a chance.

The old doctor saw that they were happy, and laughed himself: "I see that you are not ordinary people, so you must not be short of the money for the medicine. He can't make up for his illness, but he can't stop taking the medicine, so the medicine is a bit expensive. And you also have to be careful on weekdays, the old man will prescribe a prescription later, and I will list everything you can eat and what you can't eat, let's work hard at both ends, and strive to make him recover this year."

Rong Jingxuan naturally listened carefully to his words, and when the old doctor prescribed the medicine and made a food list, he handed the list to Zhong Qi and told him to be careful.

The old doctor prescribed medicine for Rong Jingheng for three days. His body was too weak, and the medicines used were very mild, so if the fever did not subside after three days, he would come back to change the prescription.

Naturally, Rong Jingxuan left gratefully, and after only two moments of delay, it was already dark outside, and Rong Jingxuan didn't bother to talk to Gu Guangbo in detail, so he got into the carriage and drove on his way.

Finally, when the moon and stars were thinning, a group of people arrived in Ding'an County.

Ding'an County used to be a small fishing village near the sea, but with the prosperity of land transportation, there was a market for fresh fish in the sea, and the village became bigger and bigger, and finally became the size it is today.

The whole village is built around the sea in a fan shape, and the Gu family is in the outermost alley.

Before Gu Gu Li Sanyuan Jidi, he was just the youngest son of an ordinary family. Their ancestors were fishermen. Later, seeing that selling fish made more money and it was not so hard, they started a small business.

Because he knew that merchants were not allowed to take scientific examinations, no matter how difficult the family was, his father did not sell the only two acres of grape land. This made Gu's family still count as a farmer, so Gu Guli could continue to study.

The seaside is all saline-alkali land, so wheat and sorghum cannot be grown.But grapes and apples are unexpectedly easy to feed.In summer, the sun is bright and sunny, and the grapes and apples in Ding'an are extremely sweet. Gu Gu Li's parents rely on the two acres of grape fields and a fishing cart to support him, a well-known university scholar.

After he passed the third yuan, he took his wife and parents to Yong'an directly, and the small courtyard of his hometown was vacated, and he only came back every Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors.

Later, his parents died of illness one after another, so he buried them back to Ding'an and renovated the old house by the way.

The old house of the Gu family that Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze saw now was a simple and dilapidated two-entry courtyard house.

Due to the small space, the first entry only made a corner room, where fishing gear was usually piled up, and inside it was made three big houses, surrounding the pitifully small patio in the middle.

Because of Gu Zhenli, the street in front of their house was also renamed Zhuangyuan Street.

After decades of separation and reunion, most people live in middle-class families nowadays, and the whole street looks much cleaner than the villages by the sea.

The tears that Gu Guangbo endured along the way finally poured down when he saw the words "Gu Zhai" written by his father on the lintel of his house.

Holding Gu Zhenli's ashes urn tightly in his arms, he knelt down in the snow crying, "Father, father, we are home, and you will be reunited with mother."

The scene suddenly became sad, Madam Gu also burst into tears, and the two children snuggled up to their parents, sobbing and crying.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze saluted Gu's family respectfully, then stepped forward to persuade them to help them up, and entered Gu's house together.

Only one family was left here to guard the gate, because the host family had not sent a letter saying that they would return, so the family had not had time to clean the bedroom, but the yard was very tidy, and the flowers and plants were very energetic. Obviously, they put their heart into it on weekdays.

At this moment, seeing Gu Guangbo's family come back in sackcloth and filial piety, but Gu Guli was missing, the old Li, who was guarding the gate, suddenly understood, and his eyes turned red: "Master, Mrs...."

Gu Guangbo said in a hoarse voice, "The old man has already passed away, Lao Li, you took Mrs. Li to clean up all the rooms, there are guests at home."

Lao Li endured his grief and promised to go to work.

Gu Guangbo's family went directly to the main hall to place Gu Guli's spiritual tablet, while Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze arranged for the people who came with them to Ding'an outside.

Although the Gu family's house is not big, it's not small either. The side rooms on both sides are made of bunks, so it's no problem to sleep a dozen people.

Rong Jingxuan asked the original housekeeper of the Gu family to burn the kangs on both sides first, and then found out the bedding to clean the wing room, and let the ten soldiers rest directly.The other side room was where the Gu family's servants originally wanted to live, and the main house had bedrooms on the left and right sides, and Rong Jingxuan reckoned that their own family would sleep together on one side.

Although it was a bit crowded, they escaped from Yong'an after all, and this is where the brave army is stationed. It was rare for Rong Jingxuan to relax, and his spirit was no longer so tense.

After everything was done, it was already starry night, Rong Jingheng fell asleep directly after taking the medicine, now curled up in the warm quilt and kept sweating, Rong Jingxuan looked at him, completely relieved.

I have to say that this old doctor is quite powerful.

The kangs in the main house were not too big, Rong Jingxuan, Xie Mingze, Rong Jingheng and Xiao Fuzi slept on the kangs, while Ning Yuanshi and Zhong Qi slept together on the floor.

After these few days settled down, Rong Jingxuan wanted to see if there was anyone renting out nearby. They might have to stay in Fengcheng for two or three months or even longer, so it was not a problem to make ends meet.

Lying on the kang at night, Rong Jingxuan said to Xie Mingze: "Tomorrow we will go to bury Master first, and you and I will find a place to live in the next day. We have been staying at the Gu family, and the Gu family is not safe."

Xie Mingze hesitated for a moment, but still asked him: "The Bravery Camp... should be empty."

Rong Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, he slowly lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yongwu...let's talk about it."
