Chapter 47: The Coming Storm (2)
When Ximenqing returned to the mansion, it was already a quarter of an hour later, and he hurried to the Garden of Merit, where it was quiet and full of a strange atmosphere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The official is back," Lu Ru was about to invite the doctor into the room, and when he looked up, he saw Ximenqing walking in with a solemn face.
The west couch where the old lady lived was already full of people, Wu Yueniang, Li Bei'er, and other masters in the Ximen Mansion. A little flustered for a while, Ximenqing entered the room, a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Except for the doctor and the people who serve around me, everyone else will get out of here." ”
Seeing the anger on the faces of the big officials, those people hurriedly left the room, leaving only Wu Yueniang, Li Bei'er and a few people around the old lady.
Ximenqing walked to the bed, only to see the old lady lying there, her face pale, her eyes closed, and she didn't feel a trace of life.
Ximenqing's heart froze, and he didn't care about the cold on his body, and strode forward to lie down in front of the old lady's couch, "Mother, mother, wake up." ”
Looking at his nervous look, others were even more panicked, his family officials have always responded indifferently in the face of anything, not only because he has the ability to reach the sky, but also because of his own character, in this family, there has never been anything that made him change color, but I didn't expect that the old lady fainted, which made the big officials so panicked.
"Doctor, how is my mother?" Ximenqing stared at the old doctor with burning eyes, the old doctor's surname is Zhang, he is a famous doctor in the Baoan Hall of Yanggu County, and his medical skills are superb. After he took the old lady's vein, his face was a little solemn, and after thinking about it, he spoke.
"The old lady's pulse is slow and sinking, the yang qi is deficient, the qi and blood are blocked, the yang qi is not smooth, and the viscera is weak, I'm afraid it's only a matter of a few days. ”
"What?" Ximen Qing was taken aback, "Doctor, did you make a mistake?" When I left in the morning, my mother was fine, how could it be, how could it be?"
When Wu Yueniang and Li Bei'er saw Ximenqing so angry, they didn't know how to comfort him.
"Daguan, the old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has seen such a pulse not thousands but hundreds, but if you really don't believe the old man, you can ask other doctors to come over, and the old man will say goodbye. "Dr. Zhang has no reverence for Ximenqing, he is just a doctor, if the patient's family does not believe in his medical skills, then it is inconvenient for him to stay here.
"Slow," Ximen Qing saluted Dr. Zhang, "Doctor, forgive Ziquan Fangcai's rudeness, Ma Rong, you follow Dr. Zhang over to grab the medicine." ”
Doctor Zhang shook his head, sighed, and followed Ma Rong to the outer room.
Looking at Ximenqing again, the tension and anger just now had calmed down, "How did the old lady faint?
The people below trembled, knowing that the senior officials were going to investigate the bottom of the matter.
The maids in the Garden of Merit, the servants, and the little maids knelt all over the ground, and Ximenqing sat on the Taishi chair at the door, his face was gloomy, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was coming.
The old lady had eaten at noon, rested for three quarters of an hour, and was active in the garden for a while, and then the second lady came and drank tea with the old lady in the garden. ”
"When I arrived at Shen, the chief manager of the outer courtyard came to report something, it was about the old lady's birthday banquet, and the slave maid was sent to Zhuhuayuan to deliver snacks, and the rest of the matter was unknown. ”
"Official, the slave family just came to accompany the old lady to drink a few teas and send a few boxes of favorite snacks, and nothing else was done. ”
"When the little one came over, the old lady was in good spirits, and was laughing with the second lady, and the little one told the old lady about the birthday banquet, and the old lady even said that the official was really attentive, and then rewarded the little one, and the little one retired......
"After the second lady left, the old lady looked a little tired, and then she lay down to rest for a while, a few of us were instructed to stay outside, who knows, when Yuan Mama went in again, she found that the old lady had become like this, and the officials, slaves and maids didn't know what happened to the old lady......"
"During the time you went out, didn't you hear anything unusual?" Wu Yueniang was angry and slapped the table.
Lu Ru and Lu Yi shook their heads, Yuan Mama looked haggard, and the worry in her eyes was also deep. She was the old lady's dowry maid, and was later promised by the old lady to Mr. Xu, and later Mr. Xu died of illness, and she had no children and no daughters, so she followed the old lady again and did not remarry.
"What about the snacks sent by the second lady?" asked Ximenqing.
Li Bei'er was wearing a green gauze skirt today, lined with green and proud like lotus leaves in the water, but her expression was pale, especially when she heard Ximenqing's words, her delicate body trembled even more.
"Official, a few boxes of snacks sent by the second lady were sent to Zhuhuayuan, and the rest were divided by the old lady, and now there are no more in the merit garden. ”
"Go to Zhuhuayuan and bring the snacks. ”
"Official, do you want to invite Miss Pan here?" the people below asked carefully.
Ximenqing didn't answer, but Wu Yueniang glanced at him fiercely.
"Close the door of the house, and give me a detailed inspection of each courtyard to see if there are any suspicious people. ”
"The medicine is boiled, and I quickly sent it to the old lady to drink. ”
"Ma Rong, take my waist card and go to Zhou Shoubei, and ask him to send someone to the provincial capital with you to invite that Imperial Doctor Chen. ”
Ma Rong should have retreated quickly.
"Official, the second lady should have no malicious intent, you see that she is so delicate, let her go back to rest. Wu Yueniang was a little gloating, but she didn't show half of it on her face.
Li Bei'er was waiting for the official's next sentence there in fear, but when she heard Wu Yueniang say this, she couldn't help but secretly hate, she raised her delicate face and looked at Ximenqing infinitely delicately.
"Fox Meizi," Wu Yueniang looked at her like that, and she couldn't wait to tear her face, no matter when and where, she didn't forget to show off her style, but this time the official would definitely not give her face.
Ximen Qing snorted coldly and successfully stopped the fight between the two women.
"I heard that the old lady is sick, what is happening now?" A crisp voice came, everyone turned their heads, and saw a white and elegant figure, hurriedly walked over, it turned out to be Jin Lian, she came over this morning, and the old lady also talked for a while, looking very good spirits, and then, she went back, I didn't expect that someone went to her to get snacks, only to know that the old lady actually fainted, unconscious.
When Ximen Qing saw her, his expression relaxed, and he led Jin Lian into the old lady's house.
A trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of Wu Yueniang and Li Bei'er in the back, why did this woman follow?
