Jiang Xinghua felt a burning pain in his chest, as if he had choked on ginger soup once, but it was even worse than that. Her eyes were a little dazzled by the sun, and her brain was also dizzy, but a face leaned down to cut off the dazzling sunlight, so that she could see it clearly-this, isn't this the cousin of the third uncle's family, Taohua? Or should it be a concubine? How did she end up here? But no, why is this face so young, it definitely doesn't look like a pair of children in their thirties!

"Girl, girl, you finally woke up, scared the slave to death!" The cry in his ears took Jiang Xinghua by surprise. With some difficulty, she turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw a familiar face. Isn't this wisteria? But she should be at her husband's house a hundred miles away now, why did she appear by her side when she committed suicide by hanging herself? Moreover, Wisteria also looks too young, and it is not at all the face of a peasant woman in a Zhuangzi.

No, no, Jiang Xinghua immediately discovered more things that were wrong. She was hanging in her cold and dilapidated hut late at night, but now she was lying outside the house, and her body was still ** - before she could finish thinking about it, a sneeze came out first, Jiang Xinghua wanted to say something, but her teeth were disobedient and caught each other and fought.

"Alright, it's okay." Taohua stood up, only to feel that her legs were numb from her knees, "The fourth sister's clothes are soaked, send her back to the house, boil a dose of ginger soup and pour it down first, and then hurry up to grab the medicine to dispel the cold." "The weather is still very cold in the north, and the water is even colder, according to the description of this maid, people have been soaking in the water for a long time, and it is not easy to save it, don't lose your life because of pneumonia.

Wisteria wept and laughed and kowtowed to Momoka. Xiao Shi had already called a soft sedan chair, put Jiang Xinghua on it, and carried it away quickly, Xiao Xiao Shi lowered his eyebrows and said to the old lady Jiang: "I still have to ask my father to diagnose Sister Xing'er's pulse and see what medicine to take......

Old lady Jiang glanced at Jiang Danhua, and when she turned around and walked towards Jiang Xinghua's residence, she said lightly: "Taohua come with me, and everyone else can do whatever they want." ”

Yu's footsteps stopped, and watched Aunt Zhu follow Mrs. Jiang with grace, grabbing Jiang Danhua's hand and clenching it involuntarily, causing Jiang Danhua to scream: "Grandmother, you hurt me." ”

Yu Shi hurriedly let go of his hand, looked down at Jiang Danhua's hand, and sure enough, a few fingerprints appeared on the back of his hand: "Grandmother is worried about your sister's ......"

Jiang Danhua's heart tightened, he didn't care about the pain in his hands, he leaned to Yu's side, and said like a mosquito: "Grandmother, I didn't push the fourth sister, it was because the place where she walked by herself was too slippery, and she fell down as soon as she slipped under her feet......"

Yu Shi looked at the back of Mrs. Jiang, and said absentmindedly: "I know, she is not careful, and she is not far away from the pool when she walks......"

Jiang Danhua felt a little more steady, and whispered: "Fourth sister will be fine, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Old lady Jiang's back was no longer visible, so Yu Shi regained his indifferent demeanor and took Jiang Danhua's hand, "It's okay with your grandfather." You're scared today, so let's go back and rest with my grandmother. ”

Jiang Danhua obediently supported Yu's family, and couldn't help but turn around: "That is the third sister?" How can she heal? ”

Yu Shi didn't care much and said: "There are many medical cases left by ancestors in the old mansion in Wuxi, and there are many home remedies, so she will be nothing at all." ”

"But—" Jiang Danhua vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as grandmother said. Grandmother came late and didn't see it, but she saw it from beginning to end, it was obvious that Jiang Xinghua didn't react after her grandfather applied the needle, and Taohua came to the rescue. Think boldly, is there no way to even have a grandfather, but the third sister can still save people?

There were also a few maids and women who were watching from the side, but they didn't dare to boldly think that Old Lady Jiang was helpless, so they just whispered a few words in private, saying that the new third girl actually blew to revive people, and I don't know where to get the home remedy - there is a master who is a doctor at home, and people can tell a little bit of it.

The idea is clearer, naturally it is Mrs. Jiang herself. He diagnosed Jiang Xinghua's pulse, prescribed a prescription, and ordered him to immediately grab the medicine and boil it for Jiang Xinghua to drink. After sending away a group of people in the house, he turned his head and asked Taohua: "Where did the method you used today come from?" ”

Taohua has already considered the excuse along the way: "Uncle and grandfather gave the fifth sister an injection because the fifth sister has no pulse, right?" "There is no pulse, that is, the heart has stopped," I once saw a man who was struck by lightning in the summer day, and his pulse was completely absent, and his heart did not beat, and his wife leaned on him and wept bitterly, and her elbow pressed against his chest, and then this man woke up. At that time, I thought, this method of compression, can probably make people's hearts beat again. ”

Jiang Xi looked at Taohua in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you tell your father about this?" Taohua often goes to Zhuangzi to see the medicine field, but Jiang Xi goes less, and I really don't know what happened to my daughter.

Old lady Jiang waved his hand to stop Jiang Xi from asking, stared at Taohua and said, "Go on." ”

"That method of blowing air is the remedy I talked about when I heard people chatting outside. It is said that there is a child who has lost his breath after drowning, and the mother believes in Guanyin on weekdays, and the Bodhisattva dreamed the first night and asked her to blow into her son's mouth, and the mother did so, and sure enough, the child came back to life. Taohua felt that it was a bit of pressure to lie under the gaze of the old lady Jiang, although the old man was not young, he was curious about knowledge at the moment, and he really lived to learn.

"It's not called a home remedy." Old Lady Jiang said lightly, frowning, "Some people call this a god-given prescription, such as an antidote to □□, fox repellent, etc., but most of them are hearsay, not credible at all, let alone used to save people." ”

"But this method, if you think about it, is feasible." Taohua said calmly, "If a person doesn't breathe, he will die, if he can't breathe by himself, then if someone blows, isn't it just breathing for him?" ”

Old Madam Jiang's eyes flashed: "You go on." ”

Taohua had to continue to make up: "My niece and granddaughter have thought about it. This method of blowing breath is to breathe on behalf of others, and the method of pressing is to replace people's heartbeat, and the two seem to be the same. The niece and granddaughter saw the pressure with her own eyes to wake up, so the blowing may not be just a myth. So during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Wuxi Wangyue Bridge suddenly collapsed, and a child fell into the water, and when he picked it up, he was out of breath. ”

Old lady Jiang raised her eyebrows, but did not speak. This method sounds very unbelievable, but today Taohua just used it to save Jiang Xinghua, but it is an ironclad fact.

"This method, when it is practical, I am not sure in my heart......" Taohua quietly observed the face of the old lady Jiang, not sure if he had already believed it, but her words were very vague, the method that was only used once, whether the old lady Jiang believed it or not, could not find any flaws, "It's just that when there is really nothing to be done, a dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, no matter what, you have to try it......"

Artificial respiration is not a fairy rejuvenation incense, no one can blow into the mouth and be saved, Taohua also saw that Mrs. Jiang was still willing to do needles, proving that Jiang Xinghua's body was still warm, and there was still the possibility of life, so she jumped out and recommended herself.

"According to my niece and granddaughter, this method is not a test of Bao Ling, if it is too popular, I am afraid it will be ......."

"If a person is angry and cold, he is already dead, and even the gods can't save him, let alone you." Old lady Jiang waved his hand and asked again, "What do you mean by covering the apricot girl's mouth with a handkerchief?" ”

Taohua couldn't imagine that Old Lady Jiang observed so carefully, so she had to say, "This ...... The niece and granddaughter just thought that it would be cleaner this way...... "How can she justify herself by preventing cross-infection of saliva or something?"

Fortunately, Old Lady Jiang not only did not question, but nodded: "You are right, doctors need to pay attention to keeping clean at all times, and be prepared for trouble." He mused, "Have you ever thought carefully about how hard you should exhale and press, and how fast, and how fast?" ”

Taohua thought for a moment and replied, "The exhalation force should always be as strong as possible, but if you encounter a child, you should reduce the force appropriately." The same is true for compression, especially pay attention to whether the other party has already had external injuries, if the pressure is on top of the injury, it will be more troublesome. As for the rhythm, the niece and granddaughter have not thought about it carefully, but about once every three breaths, if it is too fast, I am afraid that the strength will not be enough, and if it is slow, I am afraid that I will not be able to save people, after all, the pulse of a person is always about one breath. ”

Old lady Jiang listened quietly, and suddenly asked again: "You only used this method to save a child, so you thought about it so carefully?" ”

Taohua was suddenly a little embarrassed. Artificial respiration is a mature first-aid method, that is, a "prescription", but it is not something she has considered herself. However, the nonsense has been made up, and I can only pretend to be confused: "When I was saving people, I was confused, and I didn't pay attention to it, and I only remembered it carefully after I went home, and I probably did it like this, so I ......"

"Good." Old lady Jiang only showed a smile at this time, "Third child, your daughter, has the talent of a great doctor and the heart of a great doctor. ”

Taohua's face was uncontrollably hot: "Uncle Grandfather, you are too awarded, I am just - I can't see death without help." She didn't dare to be a great doctor, but the professional habits she developed in her previous life sometimes couldn't help it.

"You can't see death without help, this is the heart of a great doctor." Old lady Jiang said solemnly, and glanced at Jiang Xi again, "Third child, it's not that I belittle you, you don't have this talent yet, who did Taohua girl learn medical skills from?" ”

Before Taohua could speak, Jiang Xi had already smiled and said: "Uncle, you are right, I can't teach Sister Tao with this ability, but I have also taught her a little pulse diagnosis method, as for the rest, Sister Tao is from the old man of the Su family." ”

"Su Lao Langzhong—" Old Lady Jiang recalled, "he is indeed extremely experienced in practicing medicine. Practicing medicine in the private sector is much better than when I was trapped in a hospital. However, he may not know this method of blowing air to save people. The peach girl can think of it, and it can be said that it is out of the blue. ”

Jiang Xi said triumphantly: "Uncle doesn't know, Sister Tao does have some talent here." She has read all the medical books and medical cases at home, and this year in the medicine hall, she saw a case of wind heat misdiagnosed as wind cold by the method of looking at the diagnosis......

"Daddy-" Taohua had to whisper to Jiang Xi, interrupting his boasting, "It's all fur, let my uncle and grandfather laugh at ......"

Old lady Jiang smiled slightly: "This is not a fur. Besides, how old are you this year, if it takes time, you will be-" When he said this, he suddenly lost his voice, and Tao Hua understood in his heart, so he smiled: "My niece and granddaughter are daughters, and I never thought about becoming a famous doctor, but I just like to read those medical books and medical cases, and learn a little to pass the time." Even today's thing, it's better not to spread it, after all, this method is afraid to be unbelievable in the eyes of most people, if it is spread in the name of the uncle and grandfather, it is okay, if it is said that the niece and granddaughter found out, I am afraid that instead of no one will believe it, but will be caught by someone with a heart, bringing disaster to the family. ”

"You're right-" Old Lady Jiang let out a long sigh, and turned her head to Xiao Shidao, who had just come out of Jiang Xinghua's house, "Eldest daughter-in-law, how did Xinghua girl fall into the water in this matter today, do you know?" ”

Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "My daughter-in-law asked the maids, it was that there was some ice on the edge of the pool, and Sister Xing'er was talking to Sister Dan, but she didn't see it, so she slipped and fell." Sister Dan is also timid, she was so frightened when she saw it, and she didn't know how to save people......"

Her daughter knew that as soon as she saw Jiang Danhua's appearance, she knew that Jiang Xinghua fell into the water today and had nothing to do with her. But what else could she say at this point? Neither can Jiang Danhua be pulled out, and in front of Mrs. Jiang, he can't put all the responsibility on Jiang Xinghua - although this father-in-law doesn't ask much about Jiang Xinghua on weekdays, but after all, she is his granddaughter, and now she almost died.

Old lady Jiang glanced at her and said lightly: "The girl's reputation is the most important, if today's incident spreads, what will outsiders say about Sister Dan?" ”

Xiaoshi was worried in her heart, and this was what she was afraid of. The daughter is pampered, competing for the favor of the elders, and some small discord between the sisters is nothing, but if someone dies, even if there is no evidence that the daughter was killed, outsiders will be suspicious, who will dare to hire such a girl to go home as a daughter-in-law in the future?

"What my father said is that my daughter-in-law will strictly discipline Sister Dan in the future......" Xiao Shi didn't dare to excuse Jiang Danhua at this time, but he couldn't help but say implicitly, "Sister Dan is a little naughty, and the daughter-in-law always felt that she was still young before-it's all daughter-in-law's." ”

Old lady Jiang glanced at her, didn't delve further, just said: "I'll leave this matter to you, control the people below, and don't say a word about Sister Tao's rescue today." ”

"The daughter-in-law knows, and the father can rest assured." Xiao Shi thought to herself that if she went out to save people, she would not be able to hide the fact that someone needed to be saved, how could she be so stupid.

Old lady Jiang snorted and stood up: "Sister Xing'er, you are also interested here, no matter what, Chunhui is dead, she is just a child." ”

Xiaoshi's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "My daughter-in-law knows." Chun Hui was her dowry maid, but when she was pregnant, she climbed into bed after Jiang Jun was drunk. The people she brought with her could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, but they couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

Fortunately, Chunhui died of dystocia not long after, but left a Jiang Xinghua, like a thorn in the flesh, as long as it touches it, it hurts. All she can do is not to deduct her share, but she will never be able to ask for warmth and care for her daughter like herself.

Jiang Xinghua naturally couldn't hear the conversation outside, and at this moment she was leaning on the head of the bed, looking at her room carefully with wide eyes.

This was not the dilapidated courtyard of the Liu family, the furnishings looked familiar and a little unfamiliar, after all, she had not lived here for more than ten years - this was the room where she had been a girl, and she had lived here until she was eighteen years old before marrying into the Liu family.

The bronze mirror in the corner of the wall has not been polished for some time, and it has been a little blurry when illuminated, but Jiang Xinghua can still make out from there, and what is reflected in the mirror is definitely not a sallow and haggard face tormented by an unspeakable illness. The cheeks of this face are still a little plump, and the eyes are still full of brilliance, this is her former face, it is her face before she got married, it won't be wrong!

"Girl, the medicine is ready." A strong bitter taste rushed into his nose, and Jiang Xinghua wanted to vomit. In order to cure the disease, she quietly drank many medicines, and almost spent her dowry, so much so that she was about to gag when she heard the word medicine. However, she forcibly suppressed it, only staring at the person who came in with the medicine: "Wisteria? ”

Yes, it is indeed wisteria, although the face is also much younger. Jiang Xinghua felt that her already somewhat rigid memories were slowly waking up—yes, she still remembered that when she was fourteen years old, it coincided with her grandfather's sixtieth birthday, and the second and third uncles who were far away from Beijing came back with their wives and children to celebrate their birthdays. On the day the third uncle's family arrived, she fell into the lotus pond and almost drowned, but was rescued by her grandfather with a needle. That's right, today is that day, and in a few months, it will be her fourteenth birthday! She's back......

"Girl-" Wisteria looked at Jiang Xinghua, a little worried, "Is there anything uncomfortable about the girl?" ”

"No, it's nothing, I'm just scared......" Jiang Xinghua took the medicine bowl and poured it down in one go.

Wisteria breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes turned red again: "The girl really scared the slave to death!" They are all five girls, and we are not allowed to walk on a good road, so we forced the girls to the edge of the lotus pond. If it weren't for the old lady who came to give the needle, and the third girl blew on the girl's chest, maybe ......"

"You said that the third sister blew on my chest and pressed my chest?" Jiang Xinghua was a little puzzled, "What is this for?" No wonder she felt some pain in her chest right now.

"The slave doesn't know...... Wisteria was just bent on helping, but now in retrospect, he was also confused, "At that time, the old lady gave the girl an injection first, and the girl didn't react at all, so the third girl said let her try, and then she blew into the girl's mouth while pressing the girl's chest......"

Jiang Xinghua subconsciously pressed his chest, felt a burst of pain, opened his shirt and saw that there was already a bruise on his chest.

"Yikes!" Wisteria was startled, "I didn't pay attention to the girl's change of clothes just now, why is it-the girl hurts so much?" ”

Jiang Xinghua smiled slightly: "It's okay." "In the Liu family, there are more painful situations than this, what is this dull pain?

"That's right." Wisteria suddenly remembered, "The third girl said, tomorrow I will put a hot cloth on the girl's chest a few times - just now the slave maid was thinking, what to use a hot cloth, it turned out to be for this." ”

Jiang Xinghua nodded indifferently and asked, "You said that the third girl is blowing and pressing her chest, what kind of method is this?" ”

"The slave doesn't know......" Wisteria couldn't answer.

Jiang Xinghua frowned slightly. Although more than ten years have passed since her time, she is still extremely impressed by the third sister who later became a concubine.

This third sister is a lively character, although she lost her mother at an early age, her father favored her, and her stepmother didn't dare to be embarrassed, she was too lucky compared to her daughter. And she was born beautiful, that year in the capital to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, was summoned by the eldest sister Jiang Meihua in the palace, and somehow met the emperor.

Jiang Xinghua tried her best to recall. Since that time, the third sister has been repeatedly summoned to the palace, but under the pretense of saying that she will cook medicinal meals and recuperate her body for the eldest sister. After that, she became a beauty in the palace, and then she was promoted again and again, and soon surpassed Jiang Meihua and became one of the nine concubines.

The emperor's heirs are scarce, and several palace concubines have not been able to keep their pregnancy, but this third sister is blessed, and she has been in the palace for three years and has become a man in one fell swoop, and she has been promoted to a virtuous concubine. Before Jiang Xinghua committed suicide, the eldest prince from Concubine Xian was named the crown prince, and she herself was promoted to a noble concubine.

Jiang Xinghua couldn't help but have a graceful and luxurious face in front of her eyes - after giving birth, her cheeks were slightly plump, her skin was white and greasy, and there was a thin layer of reddish on her head, and her complexion was excellent; The black hair is pressed with the crown of nine Zhai, the mouth of the circle is carved into jadeite, the row is inlaid with eighteen pieces of red gold jewelry Huadian, the crown is pasted into the shape of nine Zhai with the feathers of the jade bird, surrounded by forty pieces of auspicious clouds made of gold and jade, there is a pair of red gold phoenixes on both sides, the mouth is dripping beads, the pearl that falls down is the size of a lotus seed rice, round and shiny, and sways slightly on the sideburns.

This crown is second only to the crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes worn by the queen, but it is said that the crown worn by the concubine is specially made, although the product system is not exceeded, the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, whether it is the jewelry inlaid on it, or the handiwork value spent, it is not inferior to the queen's crown. It is the black silk turban with the crown, which is also finely woven, and the embroidered gold thread phoenix is lifelike. Because the concubine loves red, the twenty-one pearls inlaid on the headscarf are all pink, and they are more conspicuous than the queen's. also left an extremely deep impression in Jiang Xinghua's heart, letting her know that the original woman's life can still be like that......
