Yao Miaoyi and Song Xiu'er waited in the study, and when they drank the second cup of tea, they still didn't see the main owner. But I saw two rough mothers-in-law carrying Cui Mama, whose face was like ashes, over.

The housekeeper who was still majestic just now, at this moment, seemed to have been drained of her soul, lying on the Luohan couch calmly, as if she was ten years old all of a sudden.

Yao Miaoyi cut open Cui Mama's pants below her knees, and pulled out the broken porcelain pieces inserted into the skin and flesh one by one, some of them hurt the bones, Cui Mama just frowned, and didn't snort.

After dressing and bandaging, Cui Mama didn't look at Yao Miaoyi, she sat up on the edge of the couch, and the two maids were going to pick up, but she knelt on the ground in pain and knocked her head three times in the direction where the Chang family ancestral hall was located.

"Prince, princess, Jin'er has grown up, I have an idea, I don't use it, I have to break the original oath and go back to retire, the princess and princess are in the spirit of heaven, we must bless Jin'er with a smooth life, peace and joy."

With this action, the wound opened again, the pain was unbearable, and after Mama Cui knelt down, her body simply fell to the ground, and she was finally carried on the sedan chair by the maid. Lianxin personally sent Mama Cui out of the house, and when she met people, she said that Mama Cui had fallen and was injured and wanted to go home to recuperate.

After dealing with Mama Cui's wound, another very iconic maid came to invite, "Doctor Yao, please come with me." ”

Yao Miaoyi came to the embroidery room in the east room, and the maid at the door opened the curtain and said, "Third Miss, Doctor Yao is here." ”

It turned out to be the third lady of the Chang family, the younger sister of the crown princess, and she used to be Yao Miaoyi's handkerchief when she was a child, but she hasn't seen her for many years, Yao Miaoyi and Chang Jin are no longer the chubby, pink, and innocent little girls they were back then.

So Chang Jin didn't recognize Yao Miaoyi, the first time they met, they were a little amazing, maybe it was the reason why they often showed up, the skin was a little rough and slightly dark, but the face was very delicate, especially a pair of eyes, as if they had sucked in the light around them, and they were a little palpitating.

No wonder Mama Cui would test her details so unscrupulously, regardless of temperament and character, this appearance alone is very disturbing.

Yao Miaoyi is also exploring Chang Hibiscus, who has not been seen for a long time, she is dressed in a heavy filial piety, her face is light and elegant, such as a pear flower, sitting on the Huanghuali three-bent leg Arhat bed, leaning on a pop ink pillow, holding a two-color overprinted all-Tang poem in her hand, in the sunny day, but covered with a plush blanket below the waist, she looks even more delicate, with the attitude of Xizi.

The Double Ninth Festival is a festival for the whole family to climb the heights and go on an autumn outing, and Chang Jin did not follow, and it is estimated that the reason for the physical discomfort is the reason.

"Dr. Yao, please be seated." Chang Jin put down the book and pointed to a yellow pear rose chair next to Luohan's bed.

Yao Miaoyi's eyes did not dodge or dodge, and sat on the rose chair. Chang Jin secretly said, this woman's behavior is generous and courteous, not the appearance of a woman in the market shrinking her hands and feet, maybe it is because of the teachings of Zen Master Daoyan?

Chang Jin owes herself, "I wronged Dr. Yao today, it was I who didn't control my subordinates well, causing them to behave rudely, I'm really sorry." The evildoer has been punished, and he will go to Baihetang one day to take the blame. ”

Miss Chang San apologized in person, of course Yao Miaoyi couldn't hold it anymore, "Thank you Miss San for presiding over justice, a small punishment is enough, and you don't have to bear the guilt." ”

When she was treating Mama Cui's injuries just now, Yao Miaoyi vaguely guessed the approximate situation, knowing that it was not just as simple as a "small punishment", but she didn't understand why Mama Cui wanted to make things difficult for herself. Reasoning, Wang Ning is the guest of honor of the Chang family, even for Wang Ning's sake, it is not easy to do things such as "smashing the store" and "going through the back door".

Maybe Wang Ning inadvertently offended some servants of the Chang family, so he took the opportunity to take revenge? In this way, it can be explained, the king of Hades is easy to hide, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, especially in a wealthy family like Kaiping Wangfu, where the slaves are flying high, deceiving the upper and lower, and doing all kinds of evil.

Chang Jin is the daughter of the boudoir, and she is in the filial piety period, of course, it is not good to tell Sù Cui Mama directly that she wants to match her marriage with Wang Ning, so she changed the topic, "I have been feeling a little unwell recently, and I also asked Dr. Yao to open a post to regulate it." ”

Yao Miaoyi carefully checked the pulse, in fact, Chang Jin was not seriously ill, it was the common menstrual irregularities of young girls, the pain in the lower abdomen, and the death of her father some time ago, she was overly sad, and then experienced a long and tedious funeral, and her body collapsed.

Chang Jin and this generation were born with maids and mothers-in-law to serve, and they are a beauty lamp that falls when they see the wind. Unlike Fengyang, the parents who were born as farmers have been tempered by famine and battlefield.

"You don't need to take medicine, just take care of it." Yao Miaoyi said: "It is a medicine that is poisonous, and no matter how peaceful the Taiping is to the liver and kidneys, we have a homemade rose sauce in Baihetang." It is made with brown sugar, honey, dried roses and a few qi-replenishing ingredients, and a large spoonful is used every day to drink with a glass of warm water or milk, or wrapped in snacks as a filling. Double the dosage during menstruation, regulate menstruation and replenish qi, it is quite effective, and I have some fame in Suzhou City, and I will ask someone to send it to the house when I go back. ”

This secret rose sauce is also one of the Yao family's ancestral secret recipes, Yao Dalang and his wife are kind-hearted people, they don't hide their secrets at all, and they all taught Yao Miaoyi.

Chang Jin said: "Don't bother Dr. Yao, I'll just ask someone to go to Baihetang to get it." ”

It's okay, it's easy to do. After Yao Miaoyi's diagnosis and treatment, she retired. A female housekeeper gave five taels of silver as a consultation fee to Song Xiu'er, and personally sent the two of them to the second gate under the hanging flower door, there is a lesson from Cui's past, this time the attitude of the people is obviously respectful and courteous.

Ah Fu had already driven the carriage to wait under the Hanging Flower Gate early, Song Xiu'er helped Yao Miaoyi get into the car and took out the Xueliang small silver ingot, "The palace is really generous, we have never earned so much silver since the opening of Baihetang." ”

Yao Miaoyi looked at the mark under the ingot: "Hongwu three years cast, yo, it's the new money minted by the household this year, stay in the town money box to attract money, don't spend it." ”

"I'll save it." Song Xiu'er put the ingots into her purse, and Ah Fu, who was driving the car outside, asked: "It's still early, do you want to go to Qinhuai River to see chrysanthemums?" ”

Song Xiu'er looked at Yao Miaoyi with a blank eye, Yao Miaoyi smiled and said: "Go, you must go, anyway, I made a small profit today, close early, let's drink and enjoy chrysanthemums." Business can be done every day, and Chung Yeung Festival is only one day. ”

Ten miles of Qinhuai, like a jade belt across Jinling City, the most prosperous section of the river is in the south of Jinling City in the east archway near the school, here there are many scholars, there are also many vassal elegant businessmen and rich people are willing to flatter, later the Department of Teaching and Workshop several brothels to place official prostitutes are also located here, it is even more lively.

The clouds are cuixuan, and the smoke waves paint the boat.

On the Qinhuai River, all kinds of extravagant painting boats shuttle between them, literati and, singers and dancers, just like a fairyland. Along the shore is a hill-like chrysanthemum bonsai, tourists are weaving, while enjoying the flowers, while envying the life of the nobles on the painting boat.

After a full meal, the three of them swam to the Qinhuai River and enjoy the chrysanthemums. Ah Fu dutifully walked in front to open the way to prevent the disciples from harassing Yao Miaoyi and Song Xiu'er.

Pots of chrysanthemums seem to have been plated with a layer of gold dust on the Qinhuai River, shining in the bright sun.

Tired of swimming, Yao Miaoyi and the three of them sat on the stone pier by the river to rest, and the two women shared the chrysanthemum cakes in the oily paper bag. Ah Fu is not happy without meat, eating plum vegetables and meat shortbread.

Yao Miaoyi drank a lot of chrysanthemum wine at noon, and she didn't feel anything when she walked, so she stopped to rest, the wine was strong, and she was a little drunk, she leaned on Song Xiu'er, pointed to the gold-sprinkled Qinhuai River and said:

"More than a month ago, the stars fell, and the whole city was full of vegetarianism; Now, the city is full of golden armor. One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but the successful general will also die in the end, all of them will turn into dry bones, and they will die early and late. ”

Song Xiu'er felt that Yao Miaoyi's mood was low, as if she was misanthropic, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, you are young, you have learned less Daoyan Zen Master to participate in Zen, and you have carefully changed your temperament. ”

At this time, a melodious flute sound came from the painting boat in the river, and Ah Fu was also a little drunk, and he couldn't help but sing a song:

"Look at the painting on the river at night, playing with the kettle and rippling up and down the sky, like a piece of jasper flawless. You look at this lonely sunset in Yuanpu, and the dead vines and old trees are faint. Where does the flute sound......"

The beautiful scenery described in the singing section is similar to the current Qinhuai River, but when she heard the dead vines and old trees fainting crows, Yao Miaoyi suddenly recalled the scene before her mother was assassinated when she was a child: the jackdaw perched on a dead branch covered with snow, flew up to the ground, and suddenly the snow fell, and the jackdaw turned into a small black dot in the sky until it disappeared, and then there were flying arrows like rain, and her mother committed suicide with a hairpin......

It's been ten years, Yao Miaoyi thought about it with her eyes closed. Mother's face is already very vague, last night the enemy Zhou Kui, should go to his mother's grave to pay respects, and inform him that the revenge has been avenged and he can rest in peace.

The next day, Zhu Hu sat in Baihetang, Yao Miaoyi said that she was going to go to Jiming Temple in the north of the city to burn incense and make a vow, and she said that she was full of words:

"I once wished that Baihetang's business was booming, didn't I make a small profit yesterday? The Bodhisattva has appeared, and I am going to repay my vows. ”

Jiming Temple is in the north of the city Jiming Mountain, Jiming Mountain is a piece of feng shui treasure land, the Ministry of Rites has chosen a site here, and built the tomb of Emperor Hongwu in the future - filial piety. In order to show grace, the family tombs given by Emperor Hongwu to the founding heroes are also at the foot of Jiming Mountain. For example, the Chang family of Kaiping Wangfu, the Xu family of Wei Guogong, the Li family of Cao Guogong and so on.

Yao Miaoyi's mother, Xie Shi, is the stepwife of Xu Daming Media, and of course she is buried in Jiming Mountain.

The tomb of the Xu family is guarded by the mausoleum keeper, Yao Miaoyi added some "ingredients" to the mausoleum keeper's wine, fascinated it, and sneaked into the cemetery to worship her mother.

"Mother, Zhou Kui is dead, you can rest in peace, I'm doing well, I have a craft, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Xujia ...... I don't want to go back. Yu Xin's peace of mind is home, the Xie family's unjust case has not yet been revealed, I can't go to Zhan Yuan to be the eldest lady with peace of mind, and my father-in-law raised me to teach me, and I didn't help him do anything. ”

"Zhou Kui, a wicked man, said before he died, 'In life, you are either collecting debts or paying debts'. Now that the debt has not been collected or repaid, the daughter is unwilling, if the mother has a spirit in the sky, she will bless her daughter to have revenge and revenge as soon as possible, and repay the kindness......"

Yao Miaoyi knelt in front of Xie's mausoleum and chattered all afternoon, until the dawn of the sky was dusk, and when she left the cemetery, the mausoleum keeper was still asleep.

Yao Miaoyi rented a horse to walk, it was cloudy and dark early, the mountain began to fog again, the mountain road loomed, and there were various cemeteries around, and from time to time you could see phosphorus fire, this scene was very infiltrating.

Fortunately, Yao Miaoyi is a doctor, and she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, she patted the horse's back and galloped on the mountain road, it was getting late, and Yao had to go home before the curfew in the city.

Unexpectedly, just ran through a corner, and immediately an arrow attacked, Yao Miaoyi reacted sensitively, lying on the back of the horse to avoid the flying arrows, at this time, a group of people and horses held torches, outflanked Yao Miaoyi, and shouted: "Catch the demon sect traitor!" Surrender or kill! ”
