After many years of worshipping the Buddha's habit, every fifteenth month Mrs. Zhang will go to the temple to pray for blessings, Zhang's family is located in the west of Kyoto City, close to Shizi Street, Mrs. Zhang often goes to the Fu'an Temple located in Shizi Street.

There are a lot of merchants gathered here, all of whom are business people, and they are naturally well-informed.

Mrs. Zhang went out early in the morning, greeted her one after another, walked for more than twice as many hours as usual, and when she was about to arrive at the temple gate, she met Mrs. Li, who was familiar with her.

Mrs. Li is a native of Kyoto, and she is a know-it-all, and she has four sons in a row, and she has introduced several doctors to her in the first few years of her visit.

No, after the two of them met, Mrs. Li began to ask about the effect of the previous prescription.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "There are a lot of things at home, and my lord has been busy recently." ”

"Then where is it, let me tell you, this doctor is very famous, and the first one who went to ask for medicine before you was pregnant with twins." Mrs. Li led her towards the temple and lowered her voice, "You are not alone in this matter. ”

How could she not understand what Mrs. Li meant, but where could the husband and wife tell her this matter directly, so she shook her head silently, stepped into the temple, took the paper from the maid's hand, knelt down in her hand and prayed silently.

Mrs. Li looked up at the Buddha statue with kind eyebrows, followed the pious kneeling down and bowed, and after Mrs. Li prayed, she pressed the talisman paper on the tribute table to receive incense, and the two of them walked out of the temple together, and rushed over with the crowd, Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Zhang's sight, and gently lowered her elbow: "It's still less." ”

Mrs. Zhang moved her mouth, it is a lot, the large and small temples in Kyoto City have begged all over the city, and there are still different things to say, there is no child in life, there is a son in life.

"If you want me to say, you have a son, and you also spent a lot of money on Xunshan Academy, so you can cultivate him with peace of mind, and it will be troublesome if you have more children."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, and the person with four sons said such a thing, but it was not very convincing: "Who would think that there are many children, Jing'er is only eight years old now, and it would be good to add a younger brother and sister as a companion." ”

"Then how many years have you begged?" Mrs. Li was straightforward, "I have found several doctors for you when I came to Kyoto, don't make yourself feel uncomfortable." ”

Mrs. Zhang motioned to the maid to give the master at the door Yinliang, watched the lit lamp rise to it, turned around and stepped out of the lamp hall, and said in a light tone: "Your family is lively, you won't understand." ”

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed to say this, so she hesitated to catch up on the spot, as if she had made a big decision: "There is another person, I don't know if he is willing to show you." ”

......

When I went out early in the morning, it was already afternoon when Mrs. Zhang went home, and I met Mrs. Zhang San at the door, and when I saw the incense basket in the hand of the maid behind her, Mrs. Zhang San greeted with a smile: "Yo, sister-in-law, go to the temple again." ”

"yes." Mrs. Zhang seemed very good-tempered, and when she saw that she was dressed properly, "You want to go out?" ”

"It's too sunny at noon, and now it's just right to go out and buy some things and come back." Mrs. Zhang San stroked her hair, "Sister-in-law is going to pray for the eldest brother and Jing'er again." ”

"Today is fifteen, and I was going to the temple."

"Speaking of which, Jing'er also has the ability, he got into a fight during the competition, and the academy didn't expel him, maybe it was because of the blessings of a few people that day, and I don't know how Jing'er met his friends, what his identity is, so that we can get together together."

Mrs. Zhang was not happy to hear these words, and her tone was a little lighter: "Jing'er didn't know him before, they all said that they met by chance." ”

"Where is such a coincidence?" Mrs. Zhang's voice was lowered, quite unbelievable Mrs. Zhang's words, "I don't know where you can be so nosy." ”

"Brother and sister are still going out, if you don't go out, it'll be too late." Mrs. Zhang reminded her, Mrs. Zhang sighed, walked towards the door with the maid, and then thought of something, turned around and smiled with concern, "Sister-in-law, I heard that there is a good doctor, I will accompany you to take a look another day?" ”

"No need, my brother and sister have a heart."

Mrs. Zhang San saw her and turned back indifferently, smiled and snorted softly: "It's changed." "In the past, whenever she heard that there was a good doctor, she didn't react like this.

The maid on the side helped her into the carriage: "Maybe the eldest lady has given up, after all, so many years have passed." ”

"She has been seeking medical treatment since I married into the Zhang family, and she can have it sooner." Mrs. Zhang San smiled proudly, "As the saying goes, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there is no time in life, don't force it." ”

After returning to the main courtyard, the first thing Mrs. Zhang did was to ask if the lord was back, and then went to the Buddhist hall, put the peace charm she asked for today in front of the statue of Guanyin, looking at the statue of Guanyin with a pious expression.

"Great compassion and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, for the sake of the believer's sincere prayer for many years, this time I can fulfill the wish of the believer."

Master Zhang, who came back from outside, heard her words at the door of the Buddhist hall, and frowned slightly: "You went to the temple to tell the fortune again?" ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard his voice, she turned around happily: "Master, you are back." ”

Mr. Zhang hummed lightly, and the husband and wife went back to the main house, Mrs. Zhang waited for him to change his clothes, and smiled about meeting Mrs. Li today: "Mrs. Li invited us to go, and the second child of his family has also reached the age of saying goodbye, so ask me which girl is good." ”

"Then you can visit the Li family when you have time."

After changing his clothes, Mr. Zhang sat down to eat, and Mrs. Zhang ordered the maid to go out and serve him soup, and his tone relaxed: "Master, I still heard Mrs. Li mention one thing today." ”

has been married for many years, and when I heard her say this, I probably knew what she was going to say next, and Master Zhang put down his chopsticks: "You asked her to find a doctor again." ”

"It's not a search, this doctor doesn't necessarily want to see it." Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice, "It's the imperial doctor in the palace who specializes in treating the Queen Mother." ”

Master Zhang frowned: "How can the imperial doctor in the palace treat ordinary people, there are charlatans everywhere outside, swaggering and cheating, these are not credible!" ”

"That's why you don't necessarily want to come to the door, and the consultation fee is also expensive, don't forget, sir, the Li family's goldware business has been done in the palace, and this news will be fake, the same is in Kyoto City, if the charlatans can still hide it?" Mrs. Zhang's face turned rosy as she spoke, "Master, let's go and visit in person." ”

"Your words made Jing'er hear what he thought." Master Zhang didn't approve of his wife going to find any more doctors, he had sought medical treatment enough over the years, and the prescriptions at home were tired, "You refused to tell Jing'er the truth, and you sought medical treatment everywhere, and the child would be cranky when he knew it." ”

"Master, it's not that I didn't treat Jing'er as my own child when I did this, but I just wanted to try again because I thought of him." Mrs. Zhang said that her eyes were a little red, "We also had children at the beginning, but unfortunately there was no fate, and then I didn't think about it according to what the master said, there are still two little uncles on the left and right, and it will never break the blood of the Zhang family, but since I have Jing'er, it has become different again, and I also have hope in my heart." ”

"But sir, you have also seen that there is always no room for him in this family, if he can have a younger brother and sister, he can always protect him."

Mrs. Zhang felt aggrieved when she talked about those things, she was pregnant two years after marrying into the Zhang family, but the child could not be saved, and the miscarriage was lost at five months, and then she never got pregnant again, and then picked up Jing'er and had comfort, but the little uncle said openly and secretly that Jing'er was not the Zhang family, and in the future, if relatives came to look for him, he would be raised in vain.

"Whether there is hope or not, you always have to try, I have raised Jing'er for so many years, watching him grow up, even if he is not my belly, it is better than my own flesh and blood, the lord also regards him as his own child, and when we are a hundred years later, he will have a brother and sister, and he will be able to be a companion without being bullied." Mrs. Zhang looked at Master Zhang earnestly, "Master, let's try again, if it doesn't work this time, it means that we are destined to have no children, and we don't have that fate." ”

Master Zhang sighed: "That's up to you." ”

Mrs. Zhang's face was happy: "Then I'll go to Mrs. Li to arrange it." ”

......

Soon Mrs. Li gave a reply, and the next morning, Mrs. Zhang went out, went to Shizi Street to pick up Mrs. Li, and then went to the shop to wait for Mr. Zhang, and arrived at Jinyang Street together, and then turned around a little way before stopping.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the situation inside and outside the alley: "I'm afraid I'm going to Baihua Lane?" Mrs. Li, how could the Imperial Doctor live here? ”

"The doctor who took you to find it last time still lives in the mountain col, what does this mean, you think they all live in a high-walled compound." Mrs. Li picked her up, smiled and greeted Master Zhang who got off the carriage behind, "I'm also coming back, but I've found a familiar way, and it's right to let him lead us over, and the place where the doctor lives is not known to everyone, so I'm finally arranging it for you." ”

"Whether it works or not, I have to thank you." Mrs. Zhang patted her hands, and Mrs. Li was very refreshed, "What's this, let's go quickly, I'm afraid that people will not be there if we go late." ”

"Okay, no, it's not that you don't necessarily see it if you go."

"I can't look at it after all the money has been collected, I have stuffed a lot, don't worry, I have arranged it, and it will be done."

"Hey, let's go."

The group took a little detour to the destination, and when they saw the plaque of the He house hanging there, Mrs. Zhang was even more unconvinced, the place was a little old, and the façade was still a little broken.

"I'm knocking." Mrs. Li stepped forward to call the door, and it took a while for someone to come and open the door, and it was a kind old man.

"Steward He, I am Mrs. Li, who was introduced by the trustee before, and we came to see Mrs. He." Mrs. Li introduced with a smile, Uncle He glanced at Mrs. Zhang and them, and slowly opened the door to let them in, "You come with me." ”

The quaint courtyard, the high house blocks the light in the courtyard, and it looks a little dark in the morning, Mrs. Zhang has some doubts in her heart, looking at the things carved on the pillars of the corridor, and in a blink of an eye she crosses the corridor to the door of a room, and Uncle He shouted to the house: "Master, there are guests." ”

There was a sound of something falling to the ground inside, Uncle He went in and pushed the window, and the room was finally brighter, but Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang were a little surprised and couldn't close their mouths, leaning there smoking a cigarette in front of them, and the person with books around him was Doctor He?

Then he is too unkempt, wearing loose clothes on his body, where does it seem to be worn to receive guests, and besides, he can wash up this morning? The doctor is also a reader, how can any reader treat these books like this, and he smokes, he is simply a decadent tramp, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a doctor, is he really a charlatan?

At this time, even Mrs. Li was suspicious in her heart, she swore a letter when she came, but she had never seen a real person, she tentatively shouted to Doctor He, He Yi raised his eyes to look at the few people blocking the door, glanced at the dark part of the house casually, got up and knocked on the cabinet with a cigarette stick: "What's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang didn't react for a while, but Mrs. Li reacted quickly: "Mrs. He, Mrs. Zhang lost her body in a miscarriage many years ago, and she hasn't had anything over the years, so I want to ask you to show her." ”

It is rumored that they have been childless for many years and cannot have children, in fact, they once had children, He Yan pointed to the stool next to him, and asked Mrs. Zhang to come and sit down, Mrs. Zhang hesitated, and finally Mrs. Li pulled it over, looking at the house like this, it really made people feel uneasy.

"Hands." He Yan didn't have a good air, Mrs. Zhang was still looking for where the pulse pillow was, He Yan pointed to the piled up books, "It's right here." ”

Mrs. Zhang put her hand on it, He Yan didn't clean her hands, she directly checked her pulse, and the room was quiet, although Master Zhang didn't write surprise on his face like them, he was also shocked very much, and looked at He Yi who was wearing a beard quietly, look at this temperament, if you want to say that you are a charlatan, it is not like enough.

When several people were thinking about it in their hearts, He Yan spoke: "The blood is not cleared, how do you recuperate after the miscarriage." ”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "At that time, the doctor prescribed the medicine, saying that the blood had been cleared." ”

"It's not clean, the body is cold and stagnant for many years, and if you don't cure it, you won't be able to give birth to children in this life." He Yan motioned for her to get out of the way and pointed to Master Zhang, "You come here." ”

Master Zhang sat down, stretched out his hand, He Yan took his hand up, his casual expression gradually became serious, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Master Zhang, "You stick out your tongue and I'll take a look." ”

Master Zhang stuck out his tongue, He Yan raised his hand to pick up the tongue depressor on the cabinet, and took the lamp in Uncle He's hand and approached, and then looked at the bottom of his eyes: "Do you know if you are poisoned?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked: "Poisoning, what kind of poison, how can the master's good body be poisoned?" ”

"This poison can't kill people." He Yan let go of his hand and glanced at the couple, "It's just that you can't have children." ”

"Can't have children?" Mrs. Zhang silently recited this sentence, her heart sank, and she subconsciously looked at her husband, and she also saw the shock in her husband's eyes.

"Your good conditioning, his is more difficult to treat, and he has been poisoned for many years." He Yi got up and rummaged through the cabinet, He Bo handed over the pen and ink, and He Yi sat down and began to write the formula.

"Doctor He, you said he was poisoned, this is ...... How is this possible. Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe it, she always thought it was her own problem, she didn't recuperate well before the miscarriage, so she has not had a child for so many years, and the doctors she saw said that she did have to recuperate, but she never thought that her husband also had a problem.

"Did you ask your husband to go and see the doctor before?"

"Not really."

He Yan glanced up at them, what else did he not understand.

I have always felt that it was a woman's problem to not be able to give birth to a child, and few men went to the doctor, and the couple had children before, and they felt that it was Mrs. Zhang's problem if they couldn't give birth to a child after a miscarriage, so they would never have thought that Mr. Zhang would be poisoned.

"Two people recuperate together, and they can't have sex together during the period." He Yan threw out four prescriptions, "Take it at intervals, a total of half a month, madam, start taking it after your menstrual period is gone, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Doctor, how could he be poisoned, master." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help asking, she didn't see any problems with her good body, and she didn't hear them talk about poisoning when she came to the doctor for a small illness on weekdays.

He Yan ignored her: "These two prescriptions are taken before meals, these two tablets are very medicative, take them after meals, and come back after the matter is gone next month, two of them together." ”

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth, and Mrs. Li asked again: "Doctor He, you see that they have just heard this, Master Zhang's poison is strange." ”

"You ask me, who do I ask." He Yan felt ridiculous at her question, "You don't know about being poisoned for many years, ask me how I know." ”

Mrs. Zhang's face turned red for a while, but it was also a fact, this imperial doctor put on an attitude of believing it or not, as long as they wanted to leave, they would never stop it.

"And when will this poison be cured?"

He Yan picked up the cigarette stick again and took a puff, slowly spit out the smoke ring and said, "If you don't continue to take poison, you will be the slowest for half a year." ”

This is more promising than anything I said before, and it will be half a year at the slowerest, so what about it.

The husband and wife looked at each other, how could they not see the doctor's impatience, as if it was a difficult thing to treat them, and they refused to say a few words: "Doctor He, then we will go back first, and come back next month." ”

He didn't care, Uncle He sent them to the gate, and Mrs. Li remembered that the consultation fee had not been given yet, and all she had given before was to ask for the silver to see the imperial doctor: "Uncle, we haven't given the consultation fee yet." ”

Uncle He smiled and didn't take the silver in her hand: "It's not too late to give it when I come back." ”

The three of them went out of the door, and as the door at the back closed, Mrs. Zhang still didn't react, she glanced at the prescription in her hand, and was suspicious: "Mrs. Li, why do I think this doctor is very weird." ”

"I think what people say is reasonable, I said that you also have a snack, Master Zhang has been poisoned for so many years and I don't know, how can this be careless, I think someone deliberately poisoned you."

Mrs. Li pointed out the key at a glance, and Mrs. Zhang's face was slightly pale, she had guessed so in her heart.

"Okay, don't talk about coming to see the doctor, take the medicine well." Mrs. Li is not a human spirit, "You should investigate the poisoning yourself, don't make any mistakes." ”

......

At this time, there was more person in the house where He Yan was, Qi Xiangsi came out of the darkness, and He Yan was very unhappy and knocked on the side of the cabinet with a cigarette stick: "Okay, you can also go." ”

"Teacher, it's good if you break this one, I have prepared a new cigarette stick for you, which is better than this." Qi Xiangsi cheekily sat down next to him, "The caravan from the south came over and brought a lot of good tobacco, can you try it?" ”

"What do you meddle with people who have nothing to do with it?" The more he stopped Qi Xiangsi, the more he wanted to scream, and the word "teacher" He Yan was also called out of temper by her, and Quan Dang didn't hear it, "You are looking for trouble." ”

"It's also smart, knowing that Mrs. Zhang is going to seek medical treatment, and it is easy to be exposed, but he put this poison on Master Zhang." Qi Xiangsi had thought that there might be problems with both husband and wife, but she didn't expect that there was an external cause, "Teacher, where do you think this poison will go?" ”

"Whatever is most commonly used, go where it goes." He Yan didn't care about this, "Okay, I've seen it, you can go." ”

Qi Xiangsi sat there without moving, and analyzed according to his words: "The water is often changed, and it is inconvenient to go down often, and it is even more impossible to eat, the Zhang family is doing the tea business, and it is rare to drink tea on weekdays, and there are always habits and preferences for drinking tea for many years, which are all very fixed, and there is nothing more suitable than in tea." ”

He Yan glanced at her, and did not object or approve: "Don't leave yet?" ”

Qi Xiangsi hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'm going to the summer resort soon, you should go with it, right?" ”

He ignored her, Qi Xiangsi walked out of the house with a smile, saw Uncle He watering outside, and greeted with a smile: "Uncle He, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you another day." ”

"Miss Qi, let's go." He Bo watched her leave with a smile, looked back at the house with the door open, and continued to water the potted plants in the yard with a smile.

————————————————————

This Qi Xiangsi came out of the alley and arrived near the shop in Jinqiao, and from a distance, there were more people standing at the door than before.

When the fat man sitting there saw her coming, he hurriedly rushed forward and whispered, "She's here again, and she's inside." ”

Qi Xiangsi glanced at these people at the door, no wonder they all refused to leave, it turned out to be the people staring at her shop.

Walking into the shop, Hua Hui sat outside the counter, her body was half leaning on the counter, she could sit well, she had to be so sultry, she saw Qi Xiangsi coming in, and changed her sitting posture, and the people outside just stuck her head in to take a closer look, but she giggled and covered her mouth and smiled, very innocent.

"Okay, you, what will I do here in the future, go inside." Qi Xiangsi motioned for her to go in from the side, Hua Yuan waved her handkerchief and got up, and she didn't restrain herself after walking a few times, until she couldn't see it outside, and when she entered the house, she didn't forget to give Xiaoliu a wink to them.

"Let you have something to deliver." Qi Xiangsi pushed open the window, the room was brighter, she turned her head to look at Hua Rui, who had already sat down, "Why did you come here directly." ”

"It's stuffy in the building, come out for a walk, just come in and sit down when you get here, and it just so happens that you're here." Hua Yuan raised her hand and pointed at her, smiling movingly, "I said Acacia, you are really good as the five girls of the Qi family, and you are still an official family, no wonder I look at it, they are not the same as before." ”

Qi Xiangsi's tone was very light: "What's the difference." ”

"We are the people who escaped from the stockade, how can we compare with everyone's ladies." Hua Yuan looked at her with a smile, "You are not called Acacia, you are called Minying instead, I almost thought it was related to Ah Ying, after all, I used to call her that." ”

Qi Xiangsi's eyes shrunk, and there was something to say, what did he want to say.

Halfway, her faint voice came from her ears: "Acacia, you say that your fate is different." 166 Reading Network
