At this time, Deng Dayong took out two horses from the stable, and Feifeng stepped forward to take the reins of the two horses and led them straight out of the door.

Mei Yixuan glanced at Zhang Defu, who was obviously not in a state, and said, "Let's go, isn't your mother-in-law sick?"

"Wait for me, wait for me!" Zhang Defu came back to his senses and rushed out the door.

Outside the door, Mei Yixuan and Feifeng were already on their horses, waiting for him.

So, the three fast horses followed the Cangxia Street in the northwest direction where the Zhao Mansion was located, passed through several streets and several alleys, and arrived at the lower house behind the government office on Jiaodong Street in the southwest three quarters of an hour later.

Thanks to the fact that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still lunchtime, and there are no people on the street, so the three of them can let their horses gallop.

This row of lower houses is a blue brick and tile house with a spire, composed of small courtyards, all of which are three main houses and three wing rooms on the left and right, which is the place where the servants of the officials of the government live.

Don't look at the place where the people live, but the street is very clean, and the fly in the ointment is the public thatched house on the corner of the street, which exudes a bad smell.

After Mei Yixuan and Feifeng followed Zhang Defu to his neighborhood, the three of them got off their horses and walked forward, stopping in front of a small courtyard after walking a short distance.

Zhang Defu's family lives in a small courtyard in the east, very close to the mouth of the alley, and there is a leafy, lush, tall and stout camphor tree at the entrance of the courtyard, like a giant umbrella standing there, and the whole yard can borrow wide green shade.

It's just that before I entered the yard, there was the sound of children crying inside, mixed with the sound of calling mothers.

The courtyard was full of people at this time, mostly women and children, and a few elderly men, all sighing and whispering, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

"Alas, you said that Xiao Mengniang is suffering so much? It's easy to stay up with Xiao Meng's father to become the shopkeeper, and her mother-in-law's illness is about to recover, but she ······"

"What kind of illness do you say? It's a tough person, how can you say that if you fall, you will fall?"

"What's tough? That's all hard in front of people, don't you see that she has lost a lot of weight?"

"Yes, there are old and young, but it's not comfortable and stiff and it's over, who doesn't do this?

"Yes, yes, my mother-in-law is not in good health, if she hadn't served her well, would she have been able to get better so quickly?"

"It's a pity, good people don't live long, if this is gone, Lao Zhang is easy to say, and he can talk about one more, but it's a pity that a few children ······"

"It's not like that, it's a hard life! I heard that I found several doctors, but they all said no, let me prepare for the future!"

"Shhhh

Mei Yixuan followed Zhang Defu into the courtyard, and when everyone saw that the master was back, they couldn't help but stop talking, and stepped forward to ask where the doctor was invited. When they saw Mei Yixuan, a child who hadn't grown up yet, they were stunned.

A white-bearded old man wearing a gray coarse cloth short brown and long pants walked over, looked at Mei Yixuan and asked, "Defu, what are you······ Isn't this nonsense? It's still a kid, what can it understand?"

Zhang Defu heard everyone's discussion just now, and he was very angry and sad, but he couldn't show it.

Seeing that the neighbor who had a good relationship with Mr. Chen questioned it, he blushed and said patiently: "Uncle Chen, Zhao Gongzi's medical skills are high." ”

After speaking, he didn't explain, and hurriedly took Mei Yixuan into the house.

Feifeng tied the two horses to a big locust tree in front of the door, did not go in, and waited for Mei Yixuan outside.

Mei Yixuan followed Zhang Defu into the west room of the main house, and as soon as he entered the door, he choked on the unpleasant smell and coughed, so he immediately covered his nose, glanced at the closed windows in the house, and said, "Open all the windows to ventilate!"

"Oops!" Zhang Defu agreed, hurriedly walked over and opened a few windows, and the turbid air in the room immediately dissipated a lot, smelling much better and brighter.

"Ah Fu, whose little boy is this? How do you let people come here? Hurry up, get out to my house······"

At this moment, an old woman's voice sounded in the room.

Mei Yixuan glanced at the scene in the room.

Leaning against the west wall near the window, there was a simple wooden bed, on which an unconscious woman in her thirties was lying.

There were three children gathered around the bed, a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old in a gray-blue muslin trousers, a boy of about eleven or twelve years old in a long trouser in a cyan muslin brown and trousers, and a girl of eight or nine years old who wore a minislin bamboo floral coat and a maroon muslin horse dress.

All three of them stared at the woman on the bed with grief and trepidation on their faces.

The girl was obviously crying just now, her eyes were red from crying, and she was holding a handkerchief and wiping her lips with water.

An old woman in her fifties, with gray hair and a fine brown cardigan, sat on a Taishi chair against the west wall, and she was the one who had just spoken.

Obviously, the three children are Zhang Defu's children, and the old woman should be his mother. Hearing Mei Yixuan and her grandmother's voices, the three children looked at Mei Yixuan in unison.

There were also two women in their thirties who were wearing coarse cloth and shabby clothes, who were comforting the three children, and when they saw Mei Yixuan coming in, they whispered a few words of comfort to the children, and then quietly walked out.

Mei Yixuan's glance was only a second, and when she heard the old woman speak, she glanced at Zhang Defu inquiringly.

Zhang Defu hurriedly introduced: "Zhao Gongzi, this is Zhang's old mother. ”

Mei Yixuan clasped his fists and saluted the old woman: "Zhao has seen the old lady!"

Zhang Defu pointed to the three children and said, "These three are Zhang's sons Xiaomeng, Xiaochuang, and Xiaoyue. Then he yelled at them: "Why don't you come over and see Zhao Gongzi soon?"

"I've seen Zhao Gongzi!" The three children hurriedly walked over and gave Mei Yixuan a proper salute.

Mei Yixuan nodded at them, but her eyes looked at the unconscious woman on the bed.

"Oh, this is my mother-in-law!" Zhang Defu said hurriedly.

"When did you faint?" Mei Yixuan didn't have time to pay attention to the others, sat on the small stool in front of the bed and prepared to take the pulse, and asked casually.

"Fainted while cooking this morning. Xiao Yue replied by standing close to her mother's bed, staring at Mei Yixuan nervously, as if she was afraid of hearing bad news from his mouth.

Mei Yixuan nodded and did not speak, carefully observing the patient's complexion.

I saw that Lamei's face was sallow, her eyes were closed, she had become skinny, and her thin and thin body under the orchid coarse cloth seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

How much can this Lamei endure and be strong, so that she will fall down when she really can't hold on.
