Chapter 331: Chapter 207 Returning Home in Glory Chapter 331: Chapter 207 Returning Home in Glory A group set off toward Liuzhou City.
The four sisters from Golden Jade Alliance carried the sedan chair steadily, Gu Changsheng, holding Little Meat Bun, sat in the spacious and comfortable sedan, swaying and almost falling asleep.
“Mommy, I’m so sleepy…” Little Meat Bun looked up pitifully, he had been picked up so early that he had not slept enough.
Gu Changsheng lifted the sedan curtain to look outside, alright, they had been bustling about for so long, and the sky had just brightened.
Such a sin!
It was just a trip home, and yet they made the poor mother and child unable to sleep well!
“Mommy is also very sleepy, so let’s cuddle and take a nap together!” Gu Changsheng yawned, proposing spiritedly.
“Yes, yes!” Little Meat Bun Gu Ze raised both hands in agreement, quickly finding a comfortable position in his mother’s arms, closed his eyes, time to sleep!
Gu Changsheng raised her hand to touch her son’s chubby little face, indeed it was extra silky and cute.
Pushing the soft pillow at her waist aside, Gu Changsheng held her son and started to nod off with one hand supporting her head.
“Lady, the fabric won’t wrinkle as it’s the Heavenly Silkworm Cloud Silk Brocade, I’m not worried about that, but if you’re going to sleep, you should be careful with your hair bun! It must not get messy!” Xiao Cui’s voice came from outside the sedan curtain.
Gu Changsheng, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened them and rolled her eyes exaggeratedly.
What’s this rhythm?
The head can be cut off, but the hairstyle must not be ruined?
Truly damned ridiculous!
“Got it! Wake me up when we reach the doorstep, let me have a quick nap!” So sleepy, having woken up earlier than the bugs, it was truly painful.
The two Shichen journey from Baili Mountain to Liuzhou City would take the Golden Jade Alliance sisters a bit more than one Shichen to reach home, Gu Changsheng felt that a nap for just over one Shichen was just right.
With her lashes lowered, Gu Changsheng wrapped around her son and settled quietly into the sedan.
As soon as Gu Changsheng and her party left the house, horse riders raced ahead to Liuzhou City.
All along the way, countless commoners followed behind them, with the group growing larger and larger.
“It’s Medicine God Lady Changsheng’s sedan procession!”
“Keep up, keep up, I heard that today Lady Changsheng is moving to a new residence, her mansion is newly opened, and the gifts are lined up down three streets. Let’s go see the excitement!”
“Let’s go too, Liuzhou City hasn’t seen such a grand event in years, I heard all the doctors and pharmacists from across the land have gathered in Liuzhou, that spectacle… tsk tsk…”
“It’s worth getting up early just to witness and experience the world!”
“Keep your voices down, from the sound outside the sedan curtain, it seems like Lady Changsheng is resting.”
“Shhh…”
“Shhh…”
Gu Changsheng, who was sleeping in a daze, had no idea of the scene outside.
Sleeping is an art, and nothing can stop her pursuit of the art of sleeping. One word: Sleep!
The luxurious silk sedan swayed, and although it didn’t sway to Grandma’s Bridge, it did reach the city gate of Liuzhou.
The beaded glass trinkets hanging outside the sedan curtain made a gentle sound as the jade stones clicked together, clear and melodious to the ear, inducing sleepiness.
Behind Gu Changsheng’s sedan, the crowd had already grown quite spectacular, but the crowd waiting eagerly at the city gate was even more magnificent.
Packed with people bustling and jostling, the city guards wielding long spears could neither contain nor block the mass, and having no other choice, they threw down their spears, squeezed into the crowd, and joined the onlookers.
With the city’s streets emptied, everyone participated in the grand occasion. Liuzhou City hadn’t seen such an unprecedented event in years, and missing it would be a regret for a lifetime!
“It’s Lady Changsheng’s sedan procession! That is Lady Changsheng’s sedan procession!”
“Lady Changsheng has arrived!”
“Make way, clear the main road!”
“Go report the news!”
The calls rose and fell in succession. Gu Changsheng, with sleep-blurred eyes, opened them, and Little Meat Bun also awoke amidst the clamor.
“Mommy, are we home yet?” With chubby hands rubbing his eyes, Little Meat Bun’s face still had a few faint lines from sleeping.
Gu Changsheng patted her son and lifted the curtain to look outside.
Yikes!
With just a glance, Gu Changsheng was so frightened she dropped the curtain again.
So many people! Damn, really so many!
“Mommy?” Little Meat Bun looked at his mother, puzzled. Why did she seem so overly shocked? Was there a tiger outside?
“Son, the road home is long and winding, seems like we’ll have to wait a little longer…”
Damn it! The city gate was so blocked, how on earth could she get home?
If it were up to her, she would have quietly moved back to her completed mansion, at most setting off a string of firecrackers as a formality.
Like the Japanese soldiers sneaking into the village, she wanted her return to be as quiet and unnoticeable as if she were avoiding gunfire.
However, those damn doctors and pharmacists were too sly. Before her mansion was even finished, they started waiting like hunters!
Yue Xilou, who had mastered the art of waiting diligently, had been on the lookout for so long without catching even a rabbit’s fur.
But this crowd outside her home, unless she never returned, she was bound to be caught!
Sorrow! Waiting for a rabbit by the stump also depends on the right time, place, and harmony of the people…
While Gu Changsheng was worried about the numerous difficulties in returning home, from the City Gate, the originally crowded crowd all moved to the sides.
People squeezed and nudged each other, managing to clear a two-meter-wide path in the middle of the road.
And this path extended from the City Gate all the way to Tongji Street.
“Lady Changsheng, Lady Changsheng, you treated my back pain!”
“Lady Changsheng, herbs have become cheaper, I can afford medicine now, thank you Lady Changsheng!”
“Lady Changsheng, I will carry my father and mother on my back to the free clinic tomorrow!”
“…”
The people on both sides of the road shouted hoarsely toward the direction of Gu Changsheng’s sedan chair, the noise buzzing in Gu Changsheng’s ears.
Feeling the sedan chair had not stopped, Gu Changsheng peeked out with curiosity and saw the path that was cleared for her with just one glance.
The clamor was incessant, Han Qiu and Dong Lei calmly led the way at the front, with Dong Lei idly twirling a kitchen knife in his hand, and the four sisters from Golden Jade Alliance walked in unison, continuing forward as if on flat ground.
Gu Changsheng covered her son’s ears, listening to the hustle and bustle outside, her phoenix eyes slightly drooping.
Half a year ago, she returned to Liuzhou in embarrassment with her son and maid, greeted by a desolate and dilapidated front door of her home.
Half a year later, she came back transformed, dressed in brocade, and was met with the people lining the roads to welcome her with endless praise.
Some coveted her family’s medical texts, some questioned her medical skills, some came to find fault, and others to yell in anger…
With a single prescription, her reputation rose, and as a woman, she practiced medicine amidst the scorn and contempt of others, turning detractors into witnesses of her infamy, Butcher Wang revealed her astonishing medical skills, and the Jiangnan Medical Debate Conference catapulted her fame, with half of her medical text spreading her name across the Four Seas…
This was her, Gu Changsheng, who could withstand as much slander as she could praise!
When Li Mansion knelt before her, she swore an oath that, with thirty years for the east of the river and thirty for the west, she would always live better than them!
And now, with all eyes on her, her name widely acclaimed, possessing a fortune of millions, living in the luxurious Hua Mansion, who could withstand her?
Gu Changsheng’s life had always been in her own hands, not subject to others’ control! Even in this strange world, she would still stand at the top of the Pyramid, laughing and cursing as she pleased, living a life of splendor and indulgence!
The autumn wind lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, with Tongji Street already in sight.
Gu Changsheng, seeing the people holding lists and gift boxes standing on both sides, slightly curled her lips, a faint smile unconsciously spreading across her eyes and brows.
This was her, Gu Changsheng, who others could envy, admire, and be jealous of, but could not belittle, despise, or attempt to harm!
“Son, we are almost home…” Gu Changsheng’s voice contained a trace of trance, as if it were adrift from this world.
She had seen and experienced such overwhelming adoration and envy-stricken faces in her previous life…
Now, in this time and space, she was experiencing it again.
“Mother, today is my birthday, you promised to make me longevity noodles and cake, don’t forget after you’re done being busy…” Little Meat Bun blinked his round and plump eyes, his black pupils brimming with admiration and anticipation.
Gu Changsheng suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the child in her arms.
This was her son! Her son, linked to her by blood.
“Alright! Once Mother is not busy, she will cook longevity noodles and cake for you.” She indulgently touched his little head; Gu Changsheng’s heart felt an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment.
In this life, with family by her side, loved ones to accompany her, even if the future was uncertain, she would forge through brambles and thorns, clearing a vast sky for herself!
“The longevity noodles should be this long, and the cake should be this big…” Upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun immediately began to bargain, spreading his little arms out to measure.
“You aren’t afraid of turning into a little pig…”
Gu Changsheng spoke while glancing through the crack in the curtain.
The gate of her medical hall was still in sight, the three-tiered glazed tile eaves glistening in the sunlight, as if edged with golden rims, dazzlingly bright. The large signboard of Phoebe zhennan wood bore two characters in Liu Jin that were bold and majestic…
“Changsheng… Changsheng… May my son live up to his name, far from the eight sufferings for eternal life…”
Gu Changsheng smiled gently with a curl at the corner of her mouth, her eyes relaxed, exuding an air of charm all of her own…
“Here it comes, here it comes, the Lady’s sedan chair has arrived!”
In front of the closed doors of the medical hall, Uncle Song, his old eyes brimming with excitement and teary, waved his arms and shouted, “Children, hang the firecrackers, light the fuse, and join me in welcoming the Lady back home!”
The time when their house was in shambles didn’t count; that was when Old Man Song was incapable of taking care of it. Now it counted, the young mistress of his family, Jiaojiao, was truly returning home in glory!
“Pop, pop, pop…”
The sound of firecrackers filled the air, accompanied by the beating of drums and gongs.
Uncle Song, with his newly taken two young lads, slowly knelt down at the front door, tears streaming down his face, his emotions of excitement and joy overflowing.
“The old servant welcomes the Lady back home!”
“We welcome the Lady back home!”
Following their voices, the closest group of doctors from Liuzhou bent over and bowed, with countless magnates from the Medicine Chamber of Commerce following suit, and then an endless stream of medical practitioners clad in doctor attire behind them.
“Cheers for the opening of Medicine God’s medical hall!”
“Cheers for the opening of Medicine God’s medical hall!”
Amidst the resounding cheers of the crowd, the four sisters stopped their sedan chair about ten meters from the entrance of the medical hall and informed Gu Changsheng they would stand aside to wait.
Xiao Cui and Dong Lei were also somewhat shocked by the scene, exchanging glances, their hearts profoundly stirred, but they showed no hint of it on their faces.
They were the personal maids of their Lady, and no matter what, they could not let down the face of their Lady!
Dong Lei fashioned two kitchen knives into a bouquet of blades, quickly sheathing them behind her waist, concealed beneath her plain skirt.
