On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, there are still five days before the Double Ninth Festival, and all families have begun to collect chrysanthemums, steamed chrysanthemum cakes, five-color cakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the house of the Cheng family in Pingkangfang, there is no joy of the upcoming festival.
Mrs. Cheng's courtyard was full of people, who were diagnosing and visiting, and all of them were cautiously holding their breath, for fear of touching the sadness of the master's house.
It was noon when the courtyard was quiet.
"Squeak", the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked out first, with a stubble figure and a haggard expression, and his always dignified and resolute face was worried at the moment.
"Courtyard Envoy Fang, how is it?" the middle-aged man walked into the courtyard, and Fang asked the imperial doctor behind him in a low voice.
The envoy of the Fang Yuan sighed, shook his head, looked extremely unbearable, and said after a while: "My lord, the aftermath should also be prepared, and it will only be a few days of work." ”
The middle-aged man is Cheng Lin, known as Cheng Xianggong, Zhongshu and the Privy Council have always been known as the East and West Mansions, as the leader of the East Mansion, he thinks that he has experienced no less than a few storms, but at this moment he still can't bear the words of the Fang Yuan envoy, and he staggered two steps.
"Is there really no way?" Cheng Lin asked again without giving up.
Fang Yuan was silent, he could understand Cheng Xianggong's feelings, he had long heard that Cheng Xianggong treated his wife and his affection, and today it seems that it is true, but it is a pity......
Thinking of Mrs. Cheng, who was so thin that there were only a handful of bones left on the hospital bed, the envoy of the Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As a doctor, in the face of a patient who is powerless and can only declare death, his mood is also a little dull, and it is even more difficult to declare that he is powerless when he encounters such a deeply affectionate family member.
But Mrs. Cheng's pulse has run out of oil, and even if the Da Luo Immortal comes, it will be difficult to treat.
Cheng Lin closed his eyes, his face was full of grief, but he still arched his hand, "I'm tired of the Fang Yuan." ”
Shi Li, the envoy of the Fang Yuan, "I didn't help the adults, so I dare not be ashamed." ”
"I just ask the prescription to prescribe another prescription," Cheng Lin's lips trembled, gritted his teeth, and still said, "Let Neiko walk with less pain." ”
Mrs. couldn't sleep in pain day and night, Cheng Lin saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to replace him.
With such a simple request, the envoy of the Fang Yuan naturally would not refuse, not to mention that he was originally ordered by the emperor to diagnose Mrs. Cheng.
Her own maid stepped forward to lead the envoy of the courtyard to prescribe medicine.
Cheng Lin stood in the courtyard in a daze, looking a little dazed, as if his mind had nowhere to put it.
He and his wife have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the friendship is heavier than that of ordinary couples, but he never thought that his wife would go first, leaving him alone.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him hurriedly coming, Cheng Lin turned around and saw his eldest son Cheng Liwen striding in.
"Father. Seeing his father in the courtyard, Cheng Liwen stopped and saluted.
Cheng Lin looked at the eldest son's equally haggard description and nodded, "Go see your mother." ”
"My son will go to see his mother later," mentioning his mother who was seriously ill in bed, Cheng Liwen's eyes were full of sadness, and at the same time strengthened his belief, "Father, my son has something to discuss with you." ”
Cheng Lin frowned, what could be more important than going to see his wife right now?
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Liwen gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I heard that there is a miraculous doctor lady in the people, who is said to have advanced medical skills, so why don't we find a way to find a way to diagnose my mother again." ”
Cheng Lin's face sank, "Where did you go to hear people talking nonsense?"
Since his wife was sick, not only the doctors of the Tai Hospital, but also a lot of folk doctors, all of whom said that they were miracle doctors, but after diagnosis, Mrs. did not take less medicine, but her condition did not improve at all.
After a few tosses, because of the guilt suffered by his wife, Cheng Lin didn't have a good impression of these so-called miracle doctors among the people.
It's just a bunch of quacks in the name of miracle doctors! What kind of miracle doctor lady? Where is there a little lady who comes out to practice medicine?
Cheng Liwen knew Cheng Lin's worries, and waved his hand hurriedly, "No, no, my son listened to the classmate who accompanied the elders to visit his mother two days ago, he said that Xiao Langjun of Zhao Jixiang's family had a wheezing attack on the street a few days ago, and met the miracle doctor lady, and she cured Zhao Xiaolangjun's asthma with three or two needles." ”
Cheng Lin didn't believe it, and snorted, "It's just a rumor, most of them are those young people who see the beauty of the little lady, and they say so in order to pursue her, if asthma is really so easy to cure, this miracle doctor lady has long been famous all over the world, why have I never heard of her name." ”
Cheng Liwen also knew that it was difficult to convince his father to believe in this matter, but fortunately, he also did his homework when he came, "My son inquired carefully, then the little lady of the Luo family took a curtain fence when she treated Zhao Xiaolangjun, and no one had seen her true face, she only temporarily stopped Zhao Xiaolangjun's asthma at that time, and left a prescription, saying that according to the prescription, Zhao Xiaolangjun would be cured within two months." ”
Cheng Lin was skeptical.
"If my father doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Zhao's house to ask him carefully. Cheng Liwen hurriedly added.
The left and right Zhao families were only two streets away from their house.
Cheng Lin sighed deeply, his expression sad, "Brother Wen'er, do you know that just now the envoy of the Fang Yuan said that your mother has been in the past few days. ”
Is it still useful to find those folk doctors at this time? Cheng Lin didn't want his wife to suffer any more.
Cheng Liwen looked at Cheng Lin in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face turned white in an instant.
"Don't toss, let your mother suffer less. Cheng Lin's eyes turned red and patted his son's shoulder.
Cheng Liwen's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground.
After a moment, he suddenly stood up and pulled the corner of Cheng Lin's clothes, "No, father, I don't believe that my mother would do this...... I don't believe it. ”
Cheng Lin was so grief-stricken that he choked up, and he didn't believe it.
"Father, try again, please, try again, my son has asked someone to inquire, that little lady Luo is really good at medicine, maybe she can really save her mother." Suddenly remembering what he had just said, Cheng Liwen grabbed the corner of Cheng Lin's clothes and cried as if he had grasped the last straw that saved his life.
"If someone can really save our mother, let's miss it like this, wouldn't we have to hate it for life, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, father, please. ”
Cheng Lin didn't know that if there was a glimmer of hope, he couldn't give up, but he was afraid that they would no longer be able to withstand the successive blows.
"That's the worst of all, father. ”
yes, at worst.
Cheng Lin clenched his fists and pulled up his son, "Come on, go to Zhao's house first to ask about Little Lady Luo." ”
