Chapter 20: The Lonely Soul

In the Yunmei Garden, only Xia Shuang's residence was lit with lanterns, and the dark night was like a ghost fire.

The leaves of the plum trees in the garden will not wither, which will add to the loneliness.

Mulian and Kapok walked all the way with lanterns, their cheeks, ears and hands were red from the cold. Outside, you can hear the crying of willows whimpering inside.

It must be really bad. When I entered the back room, the charcoal fire was burning very hot, and the heat was blowing in my face.

Mu Lian felt a little itchy on her face, thinking that she would not get frostbite this day.

When Kapok saw that her sister had gone by herself, she didn't fight, and stood closely behind her, listening to her instructions.

At this moment, her face was pale, and this was her own hand. Others just thought she was timid or frozen.

Because Mu Lian looks very calm, and her techniques seem to be familiar with a few things, she is not a doctor at the same level as Kapok at first glance. Seeing Mu Lian like this, Liu Wu's heart was also settled. Liu Si whispered: "Miss was sad before nightfall, crying and crying, she felt that her qi and blood were surging, and she fainted after coughing up some blood. ”

It's no wonder that Liu Si is so afraid, there are rules in this palace, smallpox, malaria, leprosy, hemoptysis, and tuberculosis can't stay in the palace.

In the palace, even if the prince has these diseases, he has to be removed from the palace for treatment.

Leaving the palace, without the care of a medical woman, the days are even more bleak.

After Mu Lian finished his pulse, he applied needles in Xia Shuang's people, Hukou, and Yongquan, not to save her, but to drag her otherwise her condition would deteriorate.

It won't be long before she wakes up. He was so sick that he had to call in a doctor after dawn. Mulian whispered to Kapok.

Kapok is almost going to fall. I only heard Mu Lian say to Liu Wu: "You go to the kitchen to get some Jiang rice porridge, you need thick rice soup." ”

Liu Wu looked embarrassed, this is not the time to pick up food.

Mu Lian secretly rejoiced in her heart, and as she expected, she said to Kapok: "You go and get it, and say that I want it." ”

Kapok asked rhetorically: "In the middle of the night, what if there is really none?"

Mu Lian said again: "Master Gu's spleen and stomach have always been bad, the kitchen prepares Jiang rice porridge every day, this meal to be used tomorrow morning, this midnight will also start to prepare, you go and get some, see my face in the kitchen will not embarrass you." ”

Kapok trotted away after listening. Over there, Xu Chaoyun already knew about Yunmei Garden, and it was Begonia who came out to talk to the doctor on duty at night, and she was going to the night today.

Haitang pondered for a while after listening to it, and knew that this matter could be big or small, and she didn't know what the situation was over there.

Thinking that Xia Ruren had been sick for a long time, and it was freezing this day, he thought about reporting it early tomorrow morning, so as not to let the master get up at night and be frozen.

Haitang told the doctor girl on duty that she knew, and it was difficult for the doctor girl on duty to do it, which was all for every quasi-believer, if she wanted to use medicinal herbs or something...... The doctor hesitated for a moment, and then went to the great grandmother.

It's better for her to ignore the affairs of the backyard masters.

After the eldest grandmother found out, she didn't say to go and take a look, so she said that she should go back and let the pharmacy people get up and unlock it, and if Yunmeiyuan wanted to use any medicine, she would give it.

It's even harder for the doctor now.

Seeing the appearance of the girl next to Xia Ruren, I was afraid that she was in a serious condition, and no one said that she would ask for a doctor.

She was still obedient and dignified on the surface, and secretly said a few words, please don't let Xia Ruren get any incurable disease, otherwise...... After such a big circle, it was just a pharmacy.

The lady on duty at night returned to the night office of the hospital after finishing all the things, and sat by the fire to roast the fire, her face was calm - don't get into any trouble.

Kitchen.

Qian Xiaosi was boiling porridge at this time, and the charcoal fire under the copper pot like a water tank, the rice flowers inside had exploded, and there was a thick layer of rice oil on the surface.

Since this medical hall opened the medicinal diet recipe of Jiang rice porridge, Ying Xintang and many other people can also eat this.

Sometimes even Jin Dee Yu and Wang Sining will order Jiang rice porridge.

Jiangmi warms the spleen and stomach, nourishes the central qi, and is the simplest food tonic recipe.

There is nothing wrong with this Gu Xie Wu, but he is afraid of heat and eats little, and he is always slender.

made King Qin afraid that he would crush her if he used too much strength.

As soon as this prince said that she was not in good health, everyone had to follow and say that Mrs. Gu was indeed in poor health.

And so, there were many things that followed.

Mulian has been serving her, she knows, except for eating less at dinner, dim sum and fruits are used like running water, but she doesn't like supplements and greasy things, like chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, ham and elbows don't like to eat, slender is natural.

I can only open some appetizing meals such as Jiang rice porridge and red date bird's nest cake.

So she naturally knew that there was something in this kitchen now.

Qian Xiaosi saw that it was the sister of the Mulian doctor who came to get something, so he only asked, but Master Gu wanted to eat in the middle of the night, and this Jiang rice porridge was not enough.

Kapok replied: "No, it's the Xia Ru people over there in Yunmei Garden who are not good...... My sister said that she wanted to write Jiang rice porridge. ”

Qian Xiaosi was thoughtful, and was busy serving a plate of red bean buns the size of a cake and a stack of shredded green carrots, and a stack of salted duck eggs.

Leaned over to Kapok and said, "Then sister, you can take a good look, the most important thing in this food is to keep an eye on other people's hands." ”

Qian Xiaosi knew that Kapok had just come in from outside, and he didn't understand some things, so he mentioned it more.

Kapok was greatly used, and squatted down to thank him. I hurriedly took the food box and left. When I returned to Yunmei Garden, it was already the second watch.

Along the way, there were already some people who had sprinkled and swept up, and lightly cleaned up under the porch and in the aisle. Seeing the person wearing a doctor's uniform, he hurriedly avoided it.

The heart said that which master is not good, let the doctor get up at night to serve. But this kind of thing is not something they can care about, so they don't think about it much.

When Kapok returned to Yunmei Garden, Xia Ruren had already woken up, looking out the window leisurely, as if listening to the whirring wind.

Seeing Kapok coming in, he brought out a bowl of porridge and some food.

Xia Shuang knew that this Jiang rice porridge was a medicinal recipe from Yingxintang since the beginning of autumn, and she was very grateful to Mulian and Kapok.

Mu Lian, who came to check her pulse late at night, was even more kind: "I'm tired." ”

Mu Lian stood aside respectfully: "Xia Ruren is polite, serving the masters is the duty of the medical lady of the medical hall."

My sister is a clumsy girl, and she doesn't dare to tell you what she has in her heart, for fear that you will be too careful.

She hadn't studied, so she didn't know the truth of this advice. ”

Xia Shuang smiled indifferently: "The Mulian Doctor Girl is an understanding person. Mulian became more and more respectful: "Where, there are too many heels, and you have to eat a trench and grow wise." ”

Liu Si served Jiang rice porridge and served it to Xia Shuang. After a bowl of hot rice soup, my stomach was also warm, and my face looked much better than just now.

Liu Si Liu Wu said in her heart that the medical skills of this Mulian medicine girl are really more profound, but after a few stitches, there are signs of improvement. As everyone knows, it's just a return to the light.

They couldn't see it, but Kapok could see it, and Mulian also regretted it a little, getting up in the middle of the night, although it was to prevent failure, but after all, she didn't expect this summer frost to be so careless. That's all it took for three or five days.

After dawn, after Xu Chaoyun learned about Xia Shuang, he immediately summoned the imperial doctor.

After Mu Lian and Kapok explained Xia Shuang's symptoms since the beginning of the illness to the Imperial Doctor, Mu Lian retreated.

Because Kapok has been serving, he has to follow the imperial doctor to continue to serve Xia Shuang's illness.

Mu Lian was not idle, and when she returned to the medical hall, she opened Xia Shuang's pulse case in the past few months, and carefully examined it several times before she put her mind at ease.

Then I went to Yingxin Hall again, and I had to let Master Gu know about it.

Gu Xie Wu listened to her statement, and leaned lazily on the pier next to her, her eyes shining: "What are you doing?" Mu Lian didn't know why, she was scared into a cold sweat.

She said to herself again: "Thinking that she traveled a long way to Liangzhou, she was already injured, and she was not accustomed to the water and soil, and she ate those big things in private, and she deserved to lose her life."

It's just that her good sister Han Xue doesn't know how much true affection she has. In the future, when I see that the prince can still remember her, she can still turn over a trick when she dies. If not, it's just a dry bone in Guanghan Gongjing. ”

Mu Lian's heart, liver, spleen and lungs suddenly returned to their places, and she asked Ping'an Maifu to retreat. After Mulian left, Ronghua stepped forward and said, "This Mulian doctor girl is strange. ”

Gu Xie Wu glanced sideways at Rong Hua: "Her sister has been serving Xia Ruren's illness, but she is afraid that Xia Shuang has three long and two short, which will affect her sister, so she came to me to ask for peace of mind." ”

Rong Huawaner: "In this way, the slave is too careful." ”

She said with a smile: "It's always good to have multiple hearts, but Mu Lian is my person in the end, and she doesn't protect her for two points, and it's not exactly as Xu Chaoyun intended." "Because King Qin's official duties are about to end and return to his home, there is more and more trouble in this mansion.

Since that time when King Qin secretly came back in the middle of the night, there has been no more.

It's just that Xie Wu always can't sleep in the middle of the night, always thinking that maybe when he opens his eyes, he will miraculously appear in front of him again.

It can be seen that there are really such nonsense things as dreams in the world.

Now Xie Wu has grown again, and he will be fifteen in the New Year, and he looks no different from his daughter-in-law of seventeen or eighteen.

Today, the little eunuch beside King Qin came back to report that the prince had returned to the Liangzhou camp, and he could return to the mansion after handling the military affairs, so that she could wait in the mansion.

There are always little eunuchs who specially ask her for peace, so they don't attract the attention of others.

It's just a routine to ask for an eunuch.

Therefore, the matter of His Royal Highness King Qin's return to the house in the near future is only known to Gu Xie Wu and Ronghua.

Unfortunately, the summer frost also went this day.

When Chunmei came in and went back, she said that she went quietly in the afternoon, and the maids around her waited for her to take a nap, so she didn't wake up.

I heard again that Han Xue was crying sadly at this time, and she was clamoring to help Xia Shuang's spirit.

However, Xu Chaoyun was cold at this time and said that a concubine in the house was sick and died, which was already unlucky, so should he still have to go out for the funeral with great fanfare? In the afternoon, he packed up the longevity materials, stopped for the night in the Fanghua Garden next to the Yunmei Garden, and chose the time on the second day to carry it to be buried.

The maids she brought wanted to give her filial piety, but she didn't want to be cleaned up by Xu Chaoyun, and all of them fell to Zhuangzi.

Hearing this, Ronghua couldn't help but sympathize with the maids: "Poor one, you can't come back." ”

Chunmei couldn't help but blame her for this thought: "You really have a heart, but I don't know that those few were released with a gag." ”

Gagging means that they say something they shouldn't have said.

Ronghua was shocked: "But what did you say?" Her master is popular, and she is a figure on the cusp wherever she puts it. Even if the master of his own family does not go out of the door, he will be entangled by the group of dogs that bite people.

Chunmei smiled lightly: "No, Mrs. Xu started ruthlessly and quickly, and as soon as Liu Si, who was serving closely, came out with two words, she was slapped by Lilac and knocked out two teeth, stuffed with a handkerchief and tied up, and then let people send Zhuangzi up." ”

Gu Xie Wu was funny when she heard this, if it was her, I was afraid that she would have to do this.

It can also kill people invisibly.

Moreover, her hands are not clean. I'm afraid that those maids won't survive this year.

A good show girl came to this desert north with thousands of mountains and rivers, and she didn't even see the face of the prince, so she died.

As a result, the plum garden fell silent, and no one had the heart to think about the prince, the competition for favor, and the heir.

At this time, it is best to live without incident.

It's just that the world is impermanent, and Xia Shuang's good sister Han Xue is also sick.

As soon as he fell into bed, Xu Chaoyun asked the imperial doctor to serve, but he didn't think that the symptoms were getting more and more strict, but he really didn't get better.

Since Xu Chaoyun took charge of the family, the first time he entered the newcomer and died was an accident, so he was afraid of one after another.

She spoke, asking the Imperial Doctor not to let her die no matter what.

As soon as the imperial doctor heard this, he knew what Xu Chaoyun meant, at least he had to let Han Ruren drag it out for the New Year, and this prince would have to return to the house one day, if he hit it, it would not look good after all.

Since he voted for Xu Chaoyun, he must think about everything for her, and use Han Xue, that is, a good medicine and fierce medicine that does not tremble.

Mu Lian secretly peeked at Han Xue's pulse case, and the prescription turned out to be clear, and the medicine was just right.

It's just that which doctor doesn't have some medicine at home to defend himself. She passed by the decoction pharmacy several times, smelling the smell of the medicine wafting out of Han Xue's medicine jar, bitter and astringent.

In order to verify his idea, he bought medicine from the outside according to the prescription meticulously, went back to his home in Xiliu Lane, and boiled the medicine jar to smell it.

Kapok followed all the way, and at first he didn't understand what his sister was doing.

The more I looked at the back, the more frightened I became. The appearance of the two sisters also alarmed the family. Mulian only said to her mother and eldest brother: "I am not feeling well, so I took the medicine and boiled it." ”

The eldest brother of the Mu family has followed him to see a doctor since he was a child, and he knew what kind of medicine this was at a glance, but the eldest sister didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the place where she is on an errand is a tiger's den and a wolf's den.

It's just that his daughter-in-law didn't know it, and in the evening he saw Kapok pouring medicine into the vegetable garden, and the medicine residue was poured into the pit.

In the evening, he said it to his man.

The eldest brother of the Mu family only said to his daughter-in-law: "Don't worry about the eldest sister's affairs, you must not tell the second person about these things, I am afraid that our family will not be at peace." ”

His daughter-in-law said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Auntie too, if you see something unseemly, why do you have to go home and do it." ”

The eldest brother of the Mu family shouted angrily when he heard this: "What are you talking about, there is no eldest sister and second sister who have you to eat fragrant and spicy food, wear gold and silver?"

The couple has not blushed since they got married, and this is the first time, but the old husband and young wife are newlyweds, and it will be fine in a short time.
