Yao Xing had someone carry Old Man Zhang on his back. Zhang Yingzi asked, "Can I ride in the same carriage with Madam Gu?"

  Seeing Li Mumu looking at her in confusion, Zhang Yingzi said, "The carriage we brought is small, and my father's health will be better during the journey, and in order to make it easier to take care of him, we will share a carriage with him."

  "But now my father is even sicker. I'm worried that he will be uncomfortable sitting in the carriage. I want to let him lie down in our carriage so that he can feel more comfortable." Zhang Yingzi said, "But if I do that, there will be no room for me to sit in the carriage."

  Yao Xingcai thought to himself, aren't you afraid that your father will be left alone in the carriage without anyone to take care of him?

  Then Zhang Yingzi said, "Fortunately, the distance from the inn to Gu's house is short, so there is nothing to worry about."

  Yao Xingcai thinks that the road is close, so it's okay for you to squeeze in with Old Man Zhang, right?

  Fortunately, Yao Xingcai had been prepared, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang does not need to squeeze into the same carriage with our general and his wife. When I came here, I was worried about old man Zhang's health, so I prepared a carriage specifically for him."

  "Thick bedding has been laid out in the carriage to minimize the discomfort caused by the bumps in the carriage." Yao Xingcai said, "Miss Zhang, don't worry."

  The smile on Zhang Yingzi's face froze for a moment. She didn't expect that Manager Yao was so thoughtful.

  However, since she was going to live in Gu Mansion, she wouldn't mind the time it takes to travel from the inn to Gu Mansion.

  "Manager Yao is very thoughtful." Zhang Yingzi said, "Thank you very much, Manager Yao."

  "Miss, you should thank Madam." Chief Steward Yao said with a smile, "The general went back to the mansion and told Madam about Old Man Zhang's illness. Madam immediately asked someone to clean up the yard and took the general to see Old Man Zhang. The general knew little about the doctors in Beijing, but Madam knew that Doctor Li's medical skills were equally good, so she specially invited Doctor Li to come over on the way."

  "Madam, you have made a careful plan. Let Doctor Li take a look at what is going on first. Then you can have something to say when you ask the Crown Princess. Otherwise, how can you just invite the imperial physician out of the palace to treat Old Man Zhang?" Chief Steward Yao explained, "We must let the Crown Princess know the severity of the illness and what is going on. Otherwise, if the Crown Princess asks, Madam will not be able to say anything, so how can we invite the imperial physician?"

  "Miss Zhang, don't think that Madam brings Doctor Li here because she doesn't value him." Yao Xingcai pointed out Zhang Yingzi's attitude just now, "It is precisely because she values him that Madam wants to take care of every aspect."

  How could Zhang Yingzi, who was as cunning as a stream, survive in Beijing?   She was still thinking about General Gu.

  Not to mention that General Gu was already married to his wife, even if General Gu was not married and had no engagement, he married Miss Zhang because of her life-saving grace.

  I'm afraid that this Miss Zhang will only be a hindrance to General Gu, let alone managing the Gu family and leading the life they have today.

  The smile on Zhang Yingzi's lips trembled and she almost couldn't maintain it.

  Why are the people around Li Mumu so annoying?

  This was the case with the eunuch Pan who seemed to have a very good relationship with Li Mumu at the beginning.

  The same is true for Gu Mian and Manager Yao today.

  They all looked down on her.

  "Miss Zhang, let's go back home and talk about this." Li Mumu reminded, "Old Man Zhang's condition is serious."

  Zhang Yingzi followed them downstairs and saw the carriage that Manager Yao had prepared for Old Man Zhang.

  Although the carriage was not luxurious, the interior was carefully decorated.

  Especially the three-layer bedding is very soft.

  After Old Man Zhang was placed on the bedding in the carriage, Yao Xing asked, "Master Zhang, do you feel uncomfortable?"

  "Everything is fine." Old Man Zhang said, "Thank you, Manager Yao."

  "Excuse me for a moment, we will be there soon." Yao Xingcai said, closed the curtain, sat in the front of the carriage, and asked the coachman to drive.

  Because we were in the city, there were many people walking on the road, and the carriage could not move fast.

  In addition, the bedding was thick and the road surface in the city was flat, so the ride was not too bumpy.  

  It didn't take long before they arrived at Gu's house.

  Mr. and Mrs. Gu were already waiting at the door with their whole family.

  The carriage stopped and people came forward to greet them as they saw old man Zhang being carried down from the carriage.

  "My benefactor!" Gu's father and mother came forward. Old man Zhang was being carried on someone's back.

  "I dare not!" Old Man Zhang said hurriedly, "And it's Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, right?"

  "Hey!" Gu's mother nodded, "Let's take our benefactor to rest, we can talk while we walk."

  So the group went to the courtyard prepared for Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi, and got to know everyone in the Gu family on the way.

  "Master Gu, Madam Gu, please don't call me a benefactor. I really don't deserve it." Old Man Zhang said ashamedly, "If Madam Gu hadn't found us in time, we would have almost delayed General Gu's injury."

  "Don't say that. No matter what, it was you who took Shang Qing in and gave him a place to live." Father Gu said.

  Everyone came to the yard prepared for Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi.

  Because she was not familiar with Gu's house, Zhang Yingzi didn't know how far this yard was from other people's yards.

  Just walking all the way from the door, he felt that Gu's house was much more exquisite than their house in Chong'an.

  In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, this house can be considered large.

  The interior is even more exquisitely built.

  Pavilions, corridors, rockery and flowing water.

  Although the buildings are not large and spacious due to the area of Gu's residence, they are small and exquisite.

  Obviously, the Gu family also came from the peasants, and perhaps they were very rich because of their business, but why was their aesthetic taste the same as those of the rich and powerful?   Zhang Yingzi didn't quite understand.

  She had never seen the courtyard decorations of any wealthy family's home, but she could see that the interior of Gu's house was very elegant and looked very cultured.

  After settling Old Man Zhang, Li Mumu said, "There is no time to lose. I will go to the East Palace now."

  Ever since I met Li Mumu, I have never seen Li Mumu rest and have been running around for her own things.

  Old Man Zhang felt very sorry and said, "Madam Gu, I have been ill for a long time. I have waited for so many days. I don't mind waiting for one more day. Madam Gu has been busy for me for a long time today. You should take a rest. It will be in time even if you go tomorrow."

  Li Mumu shook her head, "Since you are sick, you can't delay. The delay on the way here was unavoidable. But if you can get treatment as soon as possible, you should get it as soon as possible."

  Li Mumu called Gu Mian and went to the East Palace again.

  The rest of the Gu family remained in Old Man Zhang's room.

  Father Gu said, "Master Zhang, please take a rest first. We will not disturb you. If you have anything to do, just ask the servants to do it. If you need anything, feel free to contact us."

  "Thank you." Old man Zhang wanted to get up, but was held down by Gu's father.

  "Don't be so polite." Father Gu said, "Just treat it as if you were at home."

  "I am really sorry to trouble you this time." Old Man Zhang said, "I just wanted to come to Beijing to seek medical treatment, and I didn't mean to disturb you."
