Chapter 7 Taoist Medicine

Gu Yanfei closed her eyes completely, her senses magnified several times.

The evening breeze is as cold as water, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard are dancing in the wind.

She could clearly hear the sound of the wind blowing over the branches, the sound of falling flowers, the sound of water flowing, the sound of birds flapping their wings... and the barely audible sound of insects.

After a while, she finally opened her eyes, convinced of one thing——

The spiritual energy in this small world is so thin that it is almost non-existent. Even the heavenly spirit root of the genius of the sky can't draw the energy into the body in a lifetime.

If she can't practice, she can only be a mortal with no power to restrain a chicken.

The cool wind from the outside blows in from the window, and a corner of the white paper under the paperweight is blown up by the wind, making a "squeaky" sound.

Gu Yanfei took out a piece of paper, laid it flat on the table, and then slowly rubbed the ink, the ink stick was spun round and round on the inkstone, and the fragrance of the ink gradually became stronger...

The candlelight on the desk reflected Gu Yanfei's black pupils extremely brightly, just like the night sky full of vast stars.

The Master said: "Don't worry about having no position, worry about standing. Don't worry about not knowing yourself, and seek to know it."

After two lifetimes, Gu Yanfei can more deeply understand the profound meaning of this sentence. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have a skill.

Gu Yanfei picked up a Langhao pen, with some ink on the tip of the pen, and wrote the word "Taoist Medicine" on the paper.

These two characters are written like flowing clouds and flowing water, powerful and powerful, and the brushstrokes are neat and neat, giving people a feeling of falling paper and swaying freely.

Gu Yanfei stared at these two words quietly.

The "Tao" of Taoist medicine is not the Tao of Taoism.

Taoist medicine uses Tao to benefit life and medicine to help the world. It not only uses herbal decoctions and prescriptions to treat diseases with acupuncture and moxibustion, but also includes the use of Daoyin, breath adjustment, inner alchemy, and bigu. Divination, lottery, cursing, fasting, sacrifice, and praying are all means of governing both form and spirit, forming a self-contained system.

When she was in the Yaoling Realm, she was a medical practitioner and became a teacher at the age of five.

Master taught her that all things lead to the same end by different routes, the "Tao" is in the things, and the things are in the "Tao".

This small world will naturally have its "Tao".

Gu Yanfei pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was as bright as a peony flower in full bloom under the moonlight.

"girl."

Jubi's voice sounded outside the door.

After Gu Yanfei responded, Juan Bi pushed the door open and entered the room, carrying a food box in one hand, with a look of worry on her delicate round face.

"Girl, the woman in the kitchen told the maidservant that Nanny Xu is going back to Beijing." Juan Bi put down the food box and said, "Madam Xu said that you have no rules, and returning to Beijing is also an embarrassment to the Hou family. I won't take you back."

Juanbi frowned tightly, very worried.

With Madam Xu's penny-pinching personality, she will definitely complain to Mrs. Tai after returning to Beijing, and Mrs. Tai's likes and dislikes will determine whether the second girl can return to Beijing...

Gu Yanfei didn't even move the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and said three words without moving: "Let her go."

"But..." Juan Bi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Yanfei.

"Have someone go to Xijiao Mountain to collect the dead body." With that said, Gu Yanfei got up and walked to the dressing table, and took out a pair of red gold earrings inlaid with pearls from the dressing box, "You take these earrings to Dou's pawnshop, hire someone to go manage."

Juanbi took the earrings, her heart warmed up, and then a strong sour feeling appeared.

Mother Xu wanted to give the girl a bad rap, the people in the house would definitely not listen to the girl, and they could only go outside and hire someone to collect the corpse.

Thinking of the tragic death of the coachman Lao Wang and Mrs. Zhang, Juanbi felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

"Girl, don't worry, this servant will do it right away." Juan Bi took the order and left in a hurry, forgetting what Nanny Xu said she was going to leave for a moment.

The news of Juanbi's going out immediately reached Mother Xu's ears.

A woman in her early fifties with brown spots all over her face looked at Nanny Xu with an apologetic smile, and said flatteringly, "I deliberately let Juanbi out, which scared Juanbi so much that she almost dropped the food box. She went to the second floor just now. After the girl was there, I hurried out."

"I see that the second girl should know that she is wrong, and ask Juanbi to go out and buy some good things to honor you, Mammy!"

Nanny Xu picked up the teacup, curled the corners of her lower lips calmly, and sighed: "The second girl grew up outside, she has a strange temperament... Those of us who are slaves, we can only bear more."

Nanny Xu had just knocked out a front tooth, and now when she opened her mouth, there was a black hole between her lips, and it was inevitable that her words would leak out.

The mother-in-law said yes again and again, and said some flattering compliments.

Beside them, two little maids were packing their bags, and they would come over from time to time to ask Madam Xu for instructions.

"Mrs. Feng, go and watch the second girl."

Nanny Xu dismissed Mrs. Feng casually, and a look of cruelty flashed in her eyes: The second young lady made her lose face in front of the servants, and she would never let it go.

However--

One stick of incense has passed, one hour has passed, two hours have passed... When the candle was burnt out and the moon was setting and the sun was rising, Nanny Xu never waited for Gu Yanfei to come.

"Nurse Xu, the bags are all packed. Old Li is here to ask when we will leave..."

After breakfast, the little maid bit the bullet and came to ask Nanny Xu for instructions, not daring to look directly at her gloomy face.

After not getting a good night's sleep, the calm look on Madam Xu's face had long since disappeared, replaced by embarrassment and anger.

She placed the teacup heavily on the tea table beside her, and the loud sound of the impact made the little girl's heart tremble and her head drooped even lower.

"..." Madam Xu rubbed her temples restlessly.

Now, she has only two ways to go, either she slaps her face and refuses to leave, or she leaves the second girl and leaves immediately to return to Beijing.

Of course she was eager to choose the second path, but the problem was, if she went back to Beijing alone without bringing the second girl, it would be difficult for her to do business.

I still remember that before she set off from the capital in June, Mrs. Tai had specially told her to teach the second girl how to behave, which affected the face of Gu and Fang.

Mrs. Tai attaches great importance to the marriage between the Hou's Mansion and the British Duke's Mansion, and is waiting for the second girl to go back to fulfill the marriage contract.

There is no room for loss in this job... To put it bluntly, she can't handle it well, and there are still many people in the Hou Mansion waiting to take over!

Thinking about it, Nanny Xu felt a throbbing pain at the position of the missing tooth, and the pain seemed to seep into the bone marrow.

"Nurse Xu, it's bad!" Granny Feng shouted in a fuss, and hurried into the house, her round chin and bloated body trembling.

Nanny Xu hated Mrs. Feng's vulgarity, but she still asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Feng replied: "Early this morning, when Mrs. Qian passed by Dou's pawn shop, she was stopped by the man there. The man said that someone went to the pawn shop yesterday evening to pawn a pair of earrings, and the earrings have the imprint of our Marquis Mansion. "

"Right now, there are rumors outside that our Dingyuanhou Mansion is in decline and has no money... we are about to be deposed."

The voice of the last five words is getting lower and lower, lower and lower, as thin as a mosquito's moan.
