Chapter 55: The Mei Family
The Mei family's mansion is on the south street of Fengshan City, and you can find it by asking around. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The coachman drove the carriage to Mei's house, and when the steward saw that Mei Sanniang was back, he immediately called for someone in a panic, and Mei Sanniang, who was unconscious, was carried into the house by several maids.
The family members who have not heard from each other for five years have long been almost forgotten by the Mei family, and some of the Mei family children who rushed to hear the news have no anxiety on their faces except for their luxurious clothes, but they seem a little curious.
Mei Sanniang's father Mei Xinju has four wives and concubines, Mei Sanniang is his third daughter, Mei Sanniang has two brothers, and there are two sisters and a younger brother below.
A large family has a lot of money, and if there is a son missing and a daughter is missing, people can make it up, not only to make it up, but also to make up for two more.
Mei Sanniang was carried into the back house of the Mei family, and the housekeeper had already ordered to ask for a doctor, while Xu Yan was left in the concierge, and there was a huge black dog squatting in front of him.
Outsiders can't enter the back house, unless it's a good family, Xu Yan is a sloppy little Taoist, and if he doesn't blow him out, the Mei family is kind.
After asking Xu Yan about the origin of the same gangster village as Mei Sanniang, the steward's heart was full of contempt, but on the surface, he didn't show anything, only let Xu Yan wait at the door, he needed to inform the master.
What kind of good cake can come out of the bandit's den, in the eyes of the steward, but anyone who can come out alive in the bandit's den can plan to be a bandit.
Holding the little black pig, Xu Yan honestly waited in the gatehouse, the big dog of the Mei family was notoriously vicious, but this time he didn't bark, looking at the little black pig at Xu Yan's feet, the four dog paws trembled, and he always wanted to drill behind the door, if he wasn't tied to the iron chain, this big dog might have to escape.
Xu Yan was actually very anxious, but he was not familiar with the place, and it was natural for people to take Mei Sanniang home, and he was destined to be ignored as a little Taoist.
It doesn't matter if no one cares, Xu Yan is worried about the poison in Mei Sanniang's body.
The coma just now was already a sign of poison, but I didn't expect the carriage to run fast and the poison attack faster.
After all, she is a woman, and she has always been worried in the past five years, Mei Sanniang's physique has been too weak in the past five years in Yuanshanzhai, compared to an unusual strong man, Xu Yan's estimate of ten days of poisonous hair, it has become inevitable in advance of Mei Sanniang.
Soon, the old doctor with the wooden box on his back hurriedly arrived, and walked into the Mei family like a gust of wind from Xu Yan's side, looking like a fairy among the gods, followed by two little medicine boys.
This is one of the famous doctors in Fengshan City, surnamed Li, known as Li Kuaishou, the treatment is called a fast, no matter what the problem is, as long as he is allowed to take a look, he is guaranteed to be cured in three days, and the price is fair.
Li Kuaishou is indeed fast, comes fast, and goes faster.
Xu Yan, who was standing in the gatehouse, looked at the backs of the three of them in a daze, scratched his head, and said in his heart that this was not even the time for tea.
"Your name is Xu Yan?"
Someone walked beside him, a wealthy outsider, with a fair face and three strands of beard, looking like he was in his forties, and he came to the front and asked in a pleasant voice.
"Exactly. ”
Xu Yan could see that this should be the main master, so he replied.
The person who came was Mei Sanniang's father, Mei Xinju.
"It turned out to be a Taoist family, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Mei Xinju was also a little surprised to see the little Taoist priest at the door at first sight, the steward had already said that the person who sent Mei Sanniang back was a half-grown child named Xu Yan, Mei Xinju thought it was a lonely widow in the bandit village, but he didn't expect it to be a Taoist family.
"Mercy mercy. Xu Yan spoke again: "Master Mei, has Sanniang woken up?"
Mei Xinju shook his head, sighed and said: "I saw it just now, and I said that I was overly frightened, and I went through days of running, and I lost both qi and blood to the point that I was unconscious, and I needed a long time of conditioning to recover." ”
This old man Mei's words were dumbfounded when he heard Xu Yan, today he not only saw the thief on the street, but now he also saw the old liar, that famous doctor really dared to be blind, people are going to die and say that they are too frightened and lose both qi and blood, no wonder he walked so fast.
"Master Mei, Sanniang is poisoned. ”
Xu Yan decided that it was better to tell the truth, if he delayed for a while, whether he could be saved or not was two words.
The Mei family has been selling herbs for a living for generations, and most of such a big family business is in the pharmacy, it is impossible to say that the Mei family does not understand medicine, even if the family is not skilled in medicine, the Mr. Zatang in the Mei family's pharmacy must have advanced medical skills, and he did not invite the doctor of the Mei family but casually found a Langzhong, which shows that the Mei family treats Mei Sanniang a little coldly.
"Poisoned?"
Messing frowned, he had come to ask about his son Kojo, but he didn't expect to hear such annoying news.
"What poison did she get?"
Mei Xinju's questioning, Xu Yan still can't tell the truth, he can't tell him about his feat of poisoning thousands of people, no one believes it or not, if you really want people to know that there is a murderous demon king, you can't cause more trouble.
"Running all the way, hungry and hungry, Sanniang accidentally ate some poisonous mushrooms. ”
The casual lies made Mei Xinju stunned for a while, and it is no wonder that it is normal for Mei Xinju to be able to escape from his life in the bandit village and satisfy his hunger with mountain mushrooms.
"When I was studying with my master, I saw that kind of mushroom and knew how to detoxify, but I was slow to stop it at that time, which caused Sanniang to be poisoned quite deeply. Xu Yan's face was full of guilt, and his compassion for himself kept stopping.
"It's good to be able to solve it, it's good to be able to solve it. Mei Xin nodded and said: "I don't blame you, since you know the way to detoxify, my house is a pharmacy, and the herbs are available to you, so it would be good if you could save Sanniang's life." ”
After that, Mei Xinju instructed the steward to take Xu Yan to the Mei family's largest pharmacy to get medicine, and then turned his head and asked, "Little Taoist, have you seen Sanniang's younger brother?"
When asking Mei Sanniang, Mei Xinju always looked indifferent, even if he heard that Mei Sanniang was poisoned, he was only Zou Zou frowned, and when he asked about his own son, there was obvious expectation and anxiety on his face.
Patriarchy, the practice of large families.
Because the male can prosper the family, while the female baby can only marry someone else, not to mention a bunch of dowries brought out, and follow the husband's family, and forget about the family.
"The small town has passed away and is buried in Qiyuan Mountain. Xu Yan said truthfully.
Hearing that his son was really dead, Messing shook his body, shook his head and sighed.
He had thought about this kind of ending for a long time in the past five years, but what he didn't expect was that Mei Sanniang actually came back alive.
Mei Xin walked towards the back house with heavy steps, and when he turned the rockery, Xu Yan could hear a faint angry scolding.
"Why didn't she die outside, why didn't she die outside!"
Mei Xinju was indeed resentful, hated those mountain bandits for killing his son, and even hated Mei Sanniang for taking the small town out of the city, which led to the murder.
Having a girl is nothing, and having a son is a real loss in the eyes of a big family.
The short conversation made Xu Yan faintly see the fact that Mei Sanniang's return may not be too good for her family.
Don't think about it anymore, the most important thing at this time is to prepare the antidote, so Xu Yan followed behind the steward and rushed to the Mei family's largest pharmacy in Fengshan City.
