Chapter 40: One String and One Pillar Recalling the Past
Gu Yuxuan's reminder was extremely serious.
But looking at Gu Yulou's serious look, I'm afraid that my elder brother is really obsessed with Miss Wu.
"I am actually interested in this Miss Wu." Gu Ruanci said.
Gu Yuxuan's attitude immediately changed, and he said seriously, "Sister, I know a lot. I'll introduce you. She's the daughter of the current Prime Minister, Lord Wu Lihuan, and she has twin brothers. Their family is very simple. The Prime Minister's wife died of a hemorrhage when she gave birth to them, and the Prime Minister never remarried, nor did he have any concubines or maids."
Gu Ruanci asked, "Are Prime Minister Wu's parents no longer with us? Doesn't the pressure from the elderly have any effect on him?"
"Other families may have it, but the Wu family doesn't. This is because Prime Minister Wu's father, Old Tutor Wu Yong, only had one wife and never took a concubine. Over the years, the Wu family's internal affairs have been managed by Old Madam Xiao. As Miss Wu grew up, she has been allowed to take charge."
As they were talking, traffic ahead resumed.
"Let's go over there first..." Gu Yulou reminded.
When they found a suitable place to get off, they heard people talking.
"Miss Wu has offended County Master Mingyue this time. How dare you ask her to compensate for the damage to the carriage in public?"
"But Miss Wu wasn't wrong. After all, it was County Master Mingyue who cut in line and caused the traffic jam. If it had been someone else, she might have retaliated. Miss Wu was confident and composed, and didn't want to waste everyone's time arguing with her. She offered compensation and then immediately cleared the way. If it had been me, there's no way I could have resolved it so quickly."
"Yes, she is the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Even if she is the daughter of Prince Duan, she still dares to argue. If it were us, we would only be able to apologize."
"Alright, alright, let's go now. What if we have a chance to see the Little Medical Fairy today? Although no one in the family is seriously ill, if there is this opportunity, and we get some elixir from the Little Medical Fairy, it will definitely be beneficial to take it back."
Only after these people went in did Gu Ruanci and the others enter the house.
"This must be the Princess of Chaoyang County..." A gentle female voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw a woman in plain clothes standing there. The spring breeze blew her hair, and the gently flying hair fluttered on her face, making her face look even more beautiful.
Kindness and dignity can be seen between the woman's eyebrows and eyes.
"Hello, Sister Wu!"
Gu Yuxuan was very sweet-mouthed and just called out.
After that, he added: "Sister Wu has really good taste. This is my sister Gu Ruanci. Sister, this is Sister Wu."
Gu Ruanci bowed and said, "Hello, sister. I just returned to Dizhou and almost everyone here is a stranger. It's fate that I meet you here today."
Miss Wu walked forward, took her hand, looked her over, and said, "I'm sure the place where you learned your skills over the years must have been very beautiful and talented, otherwise how could you have cultivated such an extraordinary temperament... I'm two years older than you, you can call me Sister Wu or Sister Yixian."
Wu Yixuan, Miss Wu's real name.
Afterwards, she took the initiative to introduce the person following her.
"This is my younger brother Wu Yizhu. We are twins."
Wu Yixuan considerately helped to introduce them, and Wu Yizhui, who looked very steady behind her, also came forward to say hello.
"Wu Yixuan, Wu Yizhu, these must be names with deep meanings..." Gu Ruanci said calmly.
Gu Yuxuan wanted to remind someone, but Wu Yixuan spoke first.
"Well, you may have heard our story. Our mother died after giving birth to my brother and me. Her name was Yu Huanian. Our father gave us this name to express his grief. Every string and pillar reminds us of Huanian."
Gu Ruanci instantly felt that the names Yixian and Yizhu were sublimated.
Compared with Zhou Zhili, and even most men, Prime Minister Wu is a rare talent.
Over the years, Wu Yixuan and Wu Yizhu must have been proud when explaining their names to others.
They have a mother who protected them with her life, and a father who loved their mother all his life.
"Everyone is here, probably wanting to get in first. I don't know if Xiao Yixian has arrived yet, so let's go in quickly."
Wu Yixuan led the rhythm like an older sister throughout the whole process.
In fact, the oldest person here should be Gu Yulou, but he is not very good at these things.
After entering the Five Dragon Palace, there will be a Taoist boy there to guide everyone on the way.
"Lay Buddhists, please listen to me. Today, the Little Medical Immortal is visiting our temple and will enter three rooms at random. Please come to me in turn and draw a bamboo stick. The number on the stick is the place you will go. As for who will be lucky enough to see the Little Medical Immortal, it all depends on fate."
A Taoist priest stood on the steps and spoke in a low but steady voice.
"Drawing lots? Isn't it based on social status? This county lady has come in person. How can she, a person without any official title, nobility or rank, still put on airs?"
The person who spoke was Mingyue County Master Lu Wenxue.
It seems that after returning to Prince Duan's Mansion that day, she was not blamed.
When she said this, Zhou Qinzhu was right next to her.
Zhou Yuzhi's eyes clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with this arrangement.
It’s just that his status is not as noble as Lu Wenxue’s. Since Lu Wenxue has come forward, he can naturally reap the benefits.
"Please forgive me, Lady County..." The Taoist priest was not angry, but helpless.
"How can I be tolerant? We all came all the way here, and she's just a doctor. How noble can she be? Does she not eat or drink? I've been here for so many days, and I haven't heard that she has treated anyone. Could she be a liar?"
Gu Ruanci found such words ridiculous.
A person's cognition determines his future.
"If County Lady Mingyue finds this boring, why not just go back and try using the Duke Duan's Mansion's name to get Little Medical Fairy to come to you? Even the Emperor has never thought of summoning Little Medical Fairy to order her to treat anyone. I really don't understand why the County Lady, as a member of the royal family, always does things that neither the Emperor nor the Empress support."
Wu Yixuan spoke, his tone completely different from when he spoke to Gu Ruanci and the others just now.
When Lu Wenxue saw that it was her, and that the people around her were members of the Gu family, she became even angrier.
"You have a county lady by your side, and she doesn't stand up for herself. How can you, the daughter of a prime minister, think you can suppress me?"
Lu Wenxue's words were directed at Gu Ruanci.
Zhou Yuzhi stared at Gu Ruanci intently. She actually dared to come!
Gu Ruanci couldn't help but sigh that the Lady of Mingyue County was still as stupid as ever.
She said calmly, "When the Emperor appointed me as a county lord, he didn't tell me that I could bully others by taking advantage of my position. Every citizen of Dayao has a different division of labor. The higher the status, the greater the responsibility. If the Emperor knew that County Lord Mingyue directly reduced the policy of governing the country to dividing people into high and low, I wonder if he would be happy. I wonder, according to your standards, in front of people of higher status than you, whether you are high or low, noble or humble? Sister Yixian is right. If you don't want to wait with us for fate, why don't you just leave? Do you know that you will never become one of those three people?"
