Chapter 372 Sending a message (second update)
Zhou Gu also had a great sense of accomplishment. He never thought that the poison, antidote, and life-saving medicine that could not be bought was actually made by Su Rong and him according to the prescription.
He feels that if he has no money to spend in the future, he can gather medicine, make medicine and sell medicine for money, and he will not starve to death.
He sincerely said to Su Rong: "You are really amazing."
If he was only asked to look at the prescription, he would have to study it for ten days and half a month, and experiment countless times, probably before he could make a bottle. But Su Rong is very smart, she doesn't need to experiment, she can do it all by herself.
Su Rong stood up and thumped his shoulders, "I didn't have money before, and my mother didn't give me money, so I collected herbs and sold them myself. I spent most of the day in Huichuntang. When I was young, I always dealt with these herbs. Of course, I wouldn't be too handy."
Zhou Gu suddenly felt a little distressed when Su Rong mentioned his childhood, thinking that it would be great if he knew her earlier. At least it can save her from having to worry about hard work for money.
Su Rong yawned and said to him: "Next door is Feng Ling's room, go and sleep with him for a while, and I will go to sleep for a while, and then I will go to the palace to visit His Majesty."
Zhou Gu is not sleepy, "I don't need to sleep."
Su Rong waved him away, "Go to sleep, one hour, wake up and have breakfast before working."
Zhou Gu could only nod his head.
So, when Feng Ling got up early, opened the door, and was about to practice martial arts as usual, he saw Zhou Gu walking to his door. He was surprised, "Fourth Young Master, you haven't left all night?"
No wonder he was too surprised, I really didn't expect Zhou Gu to stay in Su Rong's room all night.
Zhou Gu nodded slowly, and explained to him, "Accompanies her to prepare the medicine all night, and she drove me to your room to rest for an hour."
Feng Ling was stunned, and hastily stepped aside to open the door, "Then please hurry up."
Zhou Gu thanked her and entered Feng Ling's room.
Feng Ling closed the door for him. Seeing movement in Su Rong's room, she poked her head and called out, "Sister?"
Su Rong was packing the sealed medicine bottle and seeing Feng Ling woke up, he instructed him, "You woke up just right, seal these up, I'll go to sleep for a while, call me an hour later, and then follow me into the palace."
Feng Ling scratched her head, "Okay."
Su Rong entered the back room, took off his coat, and fell asleep on the bed.
Zhou Gu couldn't sleep well, lying on the bed next door, touching the medicine book written by Su Rong in wild cursive and giving him, thinking that since Su Rong went to his yard that day and heard him say those heartfelt words, facing him now seems a little different.
He couldn't tell what was different, but he seemed to be very relaxed in short, no longer deliberately distanced himself from her, and was no longer mostly silent, and he didn't seem to be cautious about his emotions anymore, but treated him more casually.
Is this a good thing?
Zhou Gu thinks this is a good thing, at least for him, she can give him a chance to get close. He closed his eyes, feeling a little more at ease, even if he couldn't sleep, he forced himself to sleep. After all, Su Rong is going to enter the palace today, and he has to do those unfinished tasks.
No, he seems to have forgotten something.
He quickly sat up and called out, "Midnight."
No one should be outside.
He immediately got out of bed, opened the door, Feng Ling next door heard the movement, poked his head out and asked him, "Fourth Young Master, what do you want?"
Feng Ling readily agreed, "It's easy to say, just sleep, I'll send someone to help the fourth son pass the message to the Duke's wife."
Zhou Gu said "Thank you", and went back to the room to lie down.
Feng Ling called for a guard and sent him to Duke Huguo's mansion.
Mrs. Guo went to Zhou Gu's yard early in the morning. After arriving, she learned that Zhou Gu had left the mansion last night and hadn't returned all night. She was a little anxious and asked Ziye, "Why didn't you come back all night? Did something happen?"
Zi Ye shook his head, "Don't worry, Madam, nothing happened to you, Young Master. You have gone to Xie's Mansion in Dongsi Hutong. I stayed outside the mansion for midnight. I didn't see anyone coming out, and I didn't want to bother you, so I came back first."
Mrs. Guo felt relieved when she heard the words, "So I went to Xie's Mansion."
She sat down, "Brother Gu, is he going to say goodbye to Su Rong before leaving?"
Zi Ye was not sure, "It should be?"
But it won't take a whole night to say goodbye, and he doesn't dare to think deeply about what the young master is doing in other people's house all day long.
Guo Gong’s wife waited in Zhou Gu’s room for a while, and then the guards sent by Feng Ling came to send a message, saying that Zhou Zi stayed at Xie Mansion Pharmaceutical today and would leave tomorrow, and informed his wife that there was no need to wait for him.
The Duke’s wife felt relieved, and asked the visitor: "Dare to ask what kind of medicine is made?"
The guard shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, everything is fine on Thursday, Mrs. Guo, don't worry."
Mrs. Duke nodded, she could only let her go, and went to Princess Sheng'an's room to inform Princess Sheng'an.
Everyone in Duke Huguo's Mansion got up early and waited to see Zhou Gu off. Unexpectedly, the plan changed, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Princess Sheng'an laughed, "It's fine to leave tomorrow, but I said yesterday that the date set by the old man was too urgent. If tomorrow is a good day, everything will go well if the time is auspicious."
She waved to the three brothers, "You all go back to the barracks, my brother, I had already had a drink yesterday, so there is no need for you to wait for tomorrow to see him off, anyway, what should be said has already been said."
The three brothers glanced at each other and could only nod their heads. After all, a military camp is inseparable from people. Although they finally returned to the city, they couldn't stay for long.
After the three brothers left, the crowd also dispersed.
The old guardian of the country scolded, "Stinky boy, you are so unreliable."
Princess Sheng An glared at the old Hu Guogong, she felt that it was very reliable, Zhou Gu went to bid farewell to Su Rong, and if she could stay in Xie Mansion and not come back, it shows that her grandson is useful, otherwise, if Su Rong gets bored, he would not even be able to enter the door of Xie Mansion.
After the old Huguogong left with his hands behind his back, the Duke’s wife approached the eldest princess of Sheng’an and said in a low voice, "Brother Gu went out at Xushi last night and didn’t return all night. He has been staying in Xie’s mansion. According to the guards of Xie’s mansion, he is doing medicine.”
Princess Sheng'an had been thinking wrong after hearing the first half of the Duke's wife's sentence, but when she heard the second half of his sentence, she stopped thinking and asked, "Pharmaceutical?"
Mrs. Duke nodded, "That's what the guard said. But the guard doesn't know what kind of medicine they made."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an was shrewd and guessed: "Su Rong is good at medicine and medicinal materials. Could it be that he is helping Brother Gu to make the medicine that he carries with him?"
Mrs. Guo said: "My daughter-in-law also thinks the same way." She paused, "If that's the case, Su Rong still has a lot of heart for Brother Gu."
Princess Sheng An nodded, "Su Rong naturally has a heart for Brother Gu, otherwise she wouldn't have saved her once or twice." She was thoughtful, "Could it be that Su Rong's mind has changed? Otherwise, how could it be possible to keep Brother Gu at the Xie Mansion all night?"
Mrs. Guo thought about it, "Mother means..."
Monthly pass, okay?
