129 Promise

Taohua's three words "it doesn't matter" are like stabbing a hornet's nest. The young woman who grabbed Jiang Lianhua let go of Jiang Lianhua, turned her head and came to Taohua: "It doesn't matter? So you're a family! Knock my grandmother like this, just say it doesn't matter? ”

How could mint let her pull Taohua, pounce on it to separate, Jiang Lianhua's maids also came up to stop it, and twisted into a pot of porridge with the old woman's maids, causing a group of pilgrims to avoid one after another, and even the monks in the temple were alarmed, and chanted Amitabha Buddha to come forward to persuade them.

Taohua didn't care about anything else at this time, so she carefully touched the old woman's body first, making sure that there were no fractures or anything like that, and then looking at her eyes were clear, so she put down her heart and shouted: "Don't make trouble!" Come and help the old lady up! ”

The maids withdrew their hands and ran over to help, but the young woman rushed over and screamed, "Wait! I found Lang Zhong to see it first. Look at these people, don't let them run! If the old lady has any three long and two short, she will only take them to her fate. ”

As he spoke, he threw himself at the old woman's side and cried, "Grandmother, what do you think, grandmother?" ”

The old woman was conscious, and then she hummed, "My leg hurts......"

Taohua squatted down and touched the old woman's leg, took her pulse again, frowned, and said: "The old lady's leg didn't fall, let's help it up first, lying on the ground in such weather is not good for the body." ”

The maids hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the old lady couldn't stand up for a while, so she just screamed in pain. At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and several servants rushed in viciously, and when they saw the young woman, they said loudly: "Auntie, who are you going to take?" ”

The young woman turned her hand and pointed at Jiang Lianhua: "Take her down!" Knock my grandmother into this and take her to the official! ”

Jiang Lianhua is dressed like a girl who has not left the cabinet, if she is sent to the yamen to see an official, no matter if there is anything to do, anyway, this face will be lost. In some large families in the previous dynasty, if a woman in the family was involved in a case and wanted to go to court to see an official, they would rather force her to commit suicide first than let her go to the yamen to show her face. Although the atmosphere of this dynasty is more relaxed towards women than that of the previous dynasty, it is still considered extremely humiliating to deal with the affairs of the government. This young woman opened her mouth and was about to send Jiang Lianhua to the official, which can be regarded as vicious enough.

Biluo's face was flushed with anger, and she stood in front of Jiang Lianhua and said loudly: "My lord is also a court official, who dares to touch my girl!" ”

It was not appropriate to dress up as rich and compelling when entering the temple, and Jiang Lianhua came to observe the statue of the Bodhisattva, thinking that she might have to wave it, so she specially wore a dress with narrow sleeves and short skirts, which was not very conspicuous when she looked at it. Taohua also wanted to walk easily, and she was also dressed simply, so the young woman really didn't see that these two were actually the daughters of the official family, and she was stunned for a moment.

A maid next to her was clever and hurriedly asked, "What is the official position of your master?" ”

Biluo hesitated. Jiang Zhu is the salt class to lift the division, from the sixth grade, it is really nothing in the capital.

When she hesitated, the young woman understood and sneered: "What about the official girl? Can the official girl hit and hurt people at will? Lu Si, get someone for me! Go tell my dad again that my grandmother was hit by an official girl and injured her leg, and let my dad ask who taught such a daughter! ”

Biluo's face was so red that it seemed to drip blood. This young woman obviously knew that her lord's official position was not high, so she became so arrogant again. From this point of view, I am afraid that the official rank of this family is at least above the fourth grade, and it is quite powerful, so that ordinary officials can not be taken seriously.

She glanced at Taohua, and was hesitating to reveal the identity of Taohua's future princess, when she saw Taohua raise her hand and nodded at the servant just now, "You are the Lu family?" ”

The servant was called Lu Si by the young woman, and when she heard this, she subconsciously straightened her chest: "Naturally! ”

Taohua followed up and asked: "Is it the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Lang Lu's family?" ”

The servant's chest was raised higher: "My master is the right servant of the ministry!" Are you going to go to the yamen with us honestly, or let us do it!" ”

Taohua sneered and laughed: "If I'm not mistaken, the old lady of the right servant Lang's family is not good in the first place?" He also went to Jiang Langzhong's house to seek medical treatment. Why, now that my leg hasn't healed, I'm still going to blame others? ”

The young woman was Lu Xian's daughter Lu Xuan, and the old woman was of course Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu has been suffering from leg pain since last fall, although she went to the door to ask Taohua to touch a nail, but as Lu Xian, she can still ask for an ordinary doctor in the hospital.

After the imperial doctor came, he only said that Mrs. Lu was old and her muscles and bones were naturally fragile, so it was painful when it was cold, which was not a serious illness. I prescribed some decoction and a few more plasters, telling me to keep warm in winter and not to get cold and leave.

Mrs. Lu ate and dressed, and it had some effect at the beginning, but she couldn't even walk in winter. Then I invited someone to come for diagnosis and treatment, and I took it internally and externally, and acupuncture and moxibustion all went into battle, but it was like water splashed on a stone, and it was useless. For a whole winter, the Lu family didn't know how many times to change the imperial doctor, and Mrs. Lu could only lie on the bed, with thick fur on her legs, and she used the soup woman to warm it from time to time, barely surviving this winter.

After the New Year, Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and seeing that the imperial doctor didn't work, she came to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Fortunately, the weather was slightly warmer in the first month, and the leg seemed to hurt less, so I took a carriage and ran from temple to temple.

Lu Xuan's father did not mediate with her sister-in-law's father-in-law last time, and the Luonan County Order was beheaded, and the family was exiled for thousands of miles, and even the sister-in-law cried and cried, and she was left alone in her mother-in-law's house. Although Lu Xian's career was good, he didn't dare to make any face to her, but on the grounds that he had no children, he first sent a maid to her husband's room.

Lu Xuan was so angry that she wanted to die, but she couldn't give birth to herself, her mother-in-law only rewarded a maid, and she didn't go out to hire any good concubines. Now that her husband is fighting with this maid, she watched at home and held her breath, so she simply went back to her parents' house to live.

Mrs. Lu wanted to drive her daughter home. A maid is just a son, that is, give birth to a son, take it to his own house to raise, if the maid is honest, she will give an aunt name, if she is not honest, it is very easy to do a trick when she gives birth. But it is the most stupid thing to run home like this, obviously giving people a handle to be jealous.

However, Lu Xuan was raised by Mrs. Lu when she was a child, and she never listened to Mrs. Lu. And Mrs. Lu wanted to go to the temple to offer incense, and she also wanted to beg for a son by the way, so she followed the temple from temple to temple.

However, although the person came out, his heart was still at home, and he always thought that his husband did not know how to get close to the maid at this time, and this nameless evil fire rushed straight up, even in front of the Bodhisattva, he could not suppress it. It just so happened that Jiang Lianhua knocked down Mrs. Lu, but it became a ready-made punching bag, who was willing to let her go gently, she had to be sent to the official.

As for Taohua, because the clothes on her body were more ordinary than Jiang Lianhua's, she didn't put it in Lu Xuan's eyes. And she still has some true feelings for Mrs. Lu, seeing that Mrs. Lu was knocked unconscious by Jiang Lianhua, but Taohua said that it was okay, just when she protected her sisters, this anger was even greater. was about to send the two sisters to the yamen together, but when he heard Taohua say that Mrs. Lu had a bad leg, she was startled at first, and then became angry: "Nonsense! Knocked down someone, still want to escape? ”

Taohua pointed at Mrs. Lu: "The old lady is obviously in pain in her legs and has difficulty standing, and the maid has not been steady. My sister is coming slowly, just how strong can she touch it, why knock people down? ”

Jiang Lianhua was originally hard to argue, but only then did she get the opportunity to say: "Third sister, I actually didn't bump into this old lady. ”

There were many pilgrims in the hall just now, she looked up at the statue of the Bodhisattva, and walked very slowly, but she still heard the maid of the Lu family screaming, and when she looked down, she saw an old woman fall in front of her eyes, and immediately someone came up and pulled, saying that she had hit someone. But in retrospect, she did stand so close to the futon that the old woman almost came face to face with her as soon as she turned around, but in fact she did not feel the force of the collision at all, that is, the old woman fell as soon as she turned around, and the two did not actually collide together.

However, when she was pulled just now, she was torn up by Lu Xuan, saying that she was talking nonsense, and even the pilgrims next to her looked unbelieving, and she really taught her that she had no place to complain.

Jiang Lianhua has been quiet since she was a child, how can she compare to Lu Xuan, who was raised by Mrs. Lu, and learned some of the habits of a peasant woman, and she just pulled her hair and scratched her face. If it weren't for the fact that she often travels in the mountains and rivers, and has some physical flexibility, I am afraid that she will suffer a loss. Even so, the hair was torn at this time, but fortunately, the maids were protecting it to the death, and there were no injuries on the face.

"Third sister, although I walked behind this old lady, I really didn't touch her, and I still listened to her maids exclaiming, and then I looked down and saw people." Jiang Lianhua's eyes turned in the Lu family's maid and pointed to one, "She was the one who shouted." ”

Taohua followed and looked over, only to see that the maid subconsciously lowered her head, and hurriedly stiffened her neck: "Nonsense!" If you hadn't hit our old lady, we would have hugged it tightly, how would the old lady fall! ”

Her voice was very loud, but her eyes were a little afraid to look at people. In fact, she was the only one in this hall who knew in her heart that Mrs. Lu's leg had been hurting, and she had to be firmly supported by two maids whether she was walking or standing. Just now, when Mrs. Lu kowtowed her head and got up from the futon and turned around, she didn't follow a step, so she didn't hold it tightly.

It happened that Jiang Lianhua walked behind Mrs. Lu, and when Mrs. Lu turned around and saw someone, she wanted to retreat. However, her legs were not good, and she tripped over the edge of the futon and fell backwards. The other maid hugged her tightly, but the force on both sides was uneven, and she was taken down by Mrs. Lu and rolled into a ball. But fortunately, Mrs. Lu did not fall straight down, although I don't know where the maid was holding her breath, but she didn't hurt her muscles and bones.

But she refused to say this to death, otherwise the responsibility would all fall on her, and where would she be able to afford it then? has Jiang Lianhua on the top cylinder, who does she rely on?

Taohua looked at the girl's appearance and knew that there was something wrong here. Since Mrs. Lu is fine, Jiang Lianhua also said that she didn't hit her, it should be true, so Mrs. Lu should have turned around too quickly and didn't stand firm, so she fell down. Jiang Lianhua had at most a fault that shocked people, but it was not possible to knock people down.

Lu Xuan was annoyed: "The facts are all in you, and you still have to quibble!" Lu Si, what did I just say, why don't you hurry up and get someone for me and send it to the yamen! ”

Lu Si shouted, rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it. Taohua sank her face: "The following offenses, do you slaves want to die?" ”

Lu Xuan sneered: "The following offenses? Which is on, let me see? Although Lu Si is a lowly family, but now it is about the official position of the Lu family, and the two girls in front of him are obviously the daughters of the sixth or seventh grade petty official family, who is up and who is down, it is clear at a glance.

Taohua saw that Lu Xuan was planning to come to the real thing, and knew that it would not work if she didn't reveal her identity, so she turned her head and glanced at Mint. Mint understood, and immediately raised his voice and said: "Our girl is the princess of Anjun who was married by the emperor's holy decree, if any of you dare to move, Bao will make your heads fall to the ground!" ”

When these words were spoken, the pilgrims who watched the excitement suddenly slipped away more than half, and there were those who were bold and not afraid of things, hiding far away and quietly pointing.

Lu Si was stunned on the spot, and he really didn't dare to step forward and move his hands and feet. Lu Xian is the squire of the third grade, he naturally dares to bully the petty official family of the sixth or seventh grade, but this is the future princess of the county, the edict of the first grade, and the marriage of the holy decree, a slave like him, if he moves, he will really lose his head.

Lu Xuan was also stunned. Biluo didn't say the official position of the family just now, she guessed that this position was not high, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly jump out of a princess. However, almost everyone in the capital knew about this, and she was only stunned for a moment before blurting out: "You are the Jiang family!" ”

"That's right." Taohua stood up straight and was a little taller than Lu Xuan, quite condescending, "Your mansion once came to the door last autumn to seek medical treatment for the old lady, but it turns out that it has not been cured yet?" ”

Lu Xuan suddenly became angry: "You still have the face to say that you practice medicine!" Don't you all say what kind of parental heart you practice medicine? Why is it that my grandmother is sick, but you refuse to come and treat her? Is it that I have no ability at all, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cure my grandmother and lose my reputation in front of the emperor and the queen mother? ”

Taohua snorted lightly: "I really don't dare to say that I practice medicine." Ling Zun accused me of disobeying the orders of the emperor in front of the emperor and treating Mrs. Tai of the Marquis of Jinghai without permission. In this case, how dare I treat Grandmother Ling again, is it that the treatment is finished, so that Ling Zun can report it in front of the emperor? ”

Lu Xuan was choked and almost fainted, staring at Taohua and not knowing what to say. But Mrs. Lu snorted again. Lu Xuan was angry and distressed about his grandmother, and said fiercely: "I'm afraid that even if you want to cure it, you can't cure it at all, but it's just making excuses for yourself!" ”

Taohua smiled and said, "What if I can be cured?" ”

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but Old Madam Lu heard this sentence and said busily: "Can you really be cured?" This autumn and winter, she has suffered a great sin, and at this moment I heard someone say that she could cure her, and she couldn't care about anything, "If you can cure me, you can ask for as much silver as you want!" ”

Taohua sneered: "This is not uncommon for me. ”

Mrs. Lu then remembered that she would soon be the princess of the county, so how could she still lack silver. But she was eager to heal her illness and immediately said, "Then what do you want?" As long as I can get it, I will say yes! ”

Taohua said slowly: "Well, I have to ask the old lady first, did my sister bump into you just now?" ”

Lu Xuan was so angry that he was about to jump up: "What do you mean!" ”

Taohua pointed to the maid beside Mrs. Lu: "Miss Lu might as well ask her." ”

The maid suddenly became anxious: "It's not about slaves!" ”

Mrs. Lu naturally knew that she hadn't been hit, but Lu Xuan had already pulled Jiang Lianhua and wouldn't let go, could she dismantle her granddaughter's platform? That's why Fang just hummed and didn't speak. However, now that Taohua made it clear that if she didn't make it clear, she wouldn't cure the disease, she weighed the pros and cons, and had to say vaguely: "Actually, it's just rubbing-" Turning her head and pointing at the girl, "It's all because this girl didn't hold on, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen!" Don't pull this slacking slave down! ”

Lu Xuan saw the two mothers-in-law come up and pull the maid away, and a clever second-class maid took advantage of the situation to step forward and hold Mrs. Lu's hand to fill the vacancy, and she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Lu didn't care. She was already too sick to stand it, and hurriedly asked, "What more do you want?" ”

Taohua smiled: "Since the old lady was not knocked down by my sister, then it's none of my sister's business." The old lady still went back to your mansion and talked about it in detail, as for what she wanted, I will write down the old lady's promise first, and then I will talk about it when I have cured the old lady's leg. ”

Mrs. Lu couldn't wait for this sentence, and hurriedly called someone to prepare the car. Jiang Lianhua didn't even have time to pull her hair, so she grabbed Taohua: "Third sister, can you really cure it?" "It's all because she looks like the Bodhisattva is out of a god, but she makes the third sister get into such a mess.

Taohua smiled and patted her hand: "Second sister, don't worry." You go back first, I'll call someone to deliver you a letter after I've finished checking the pulse. ”

The Lu family is not too far from Xingshan Temple. For such a stretch of the road, the carriage was also tightly covered, and there were two foot stoves in it. Old Madam Lu covered her knees with a woolen blanket, and the stove was stuffed under her feet, still frowning and humming.

Taohua felt like she was going to sweat after just getting into the carriage, so she had to lift the curtain of the car close to her a little bit, which immediately attracted Lu Xuan's accusation: "My grandmother is afraid of seeing the wind!" ”

Taohua didn't look at her: "The old lady's illness is not blowing." ”

Old Madam Lu hurriedly asked, "Then what's the matter with my leg?" ”

Taohua smiled: "It's better to wait until you get to the house, and ask Lu Shilang to come back, and I will treat the old lady after I explain the words." lest anything come to the end. ”

Of course, Lu Xuan understood what Taohua was referring to, and his face was a little crooked with anger: "Are you afraid that my grandmother won't be able to speak?" "At home, my father always listened to what my grandmother said.

Momoka smiled at her, and although she didn't say anything, the meaning was clear. Lu Xuan was so angry that her eyes turned black, but seeing that Mrs. Lu looked at her vigorously, she told her not to offend Taohua again, so she could only swallow this breath first.

Lu's four legs and feet are fast, and he has eyes, so he ran back to Lu's house to report the news. Mrs. Lu knew a lot of things, and as soon as she heard that it was the future princess of the county, she remembered why she had touched the nail in the first place, so she turned her mind and went to the yamen to report Lu Xian. So not long after Taohua arrived in Lu Mansion, Lu Xian came back.

With the festival in front of the emperor at the beginning, and touching the nail when he came to seek medical treatment, Lu Xian saw that Taohua's face was not very good. What's even more embarrassing is that now Taohua's identity, although the marriage decree has been issued, but in the end, she has not passed the door, and there is no seal from the princess of the county, so Lu Xian is not good at saluting now, and she can't treat her as an ordinary medical girl. And to put it in detail, there is a difference between men and women, and the future princess of the county should not stay in the same room with him face to face at all.

Taohua is in a good mood, mainly because she thinks of what Lu Xian said in the palace that day, and it is really pleasant to see his awkward energy today. She didn't salute first, so Lu Xian could only lean sideways and raise her hand nondescriptly: "Miss Jiang, I don't know if my mother's illness can be cured, if it can be cured, my Lu family will feel the kindness of the girl." ”

Taohua smiled: "Kindness doesn't need to be said, the old lady has already promised me, as long as Lu Shilang doesn't go to the emperor and say that I practice medicine in private." ”

Rao is Lu Xian's cheek that has been cultivated in the court for many years, and at this time he was also a little red, and he insisted that he didn't hear the last sentence, and said: "As long as Miss Jiang cures her mother, the Lu family is willing to pay her family." The old lady opened her mouth and made a wish outside, and he could only recycle it, sometimes the money was given, but the favor could not be given indiscriminately.

Taohua didn't plan to ask for his money at all: "Does Lu Shilang have to pay for the consultation?" "Collecting money for treatment is really the rule of practicing medicine, and it doesn't make sense to spread it.

Lu Xian choked again. Looking at Old Madam Lu's haggard face and hopeful eyes, he could only grit his teeth: "As long as the girl says I can do it!" ”

Taohua smiled: "Naturally, it won't embarrass Lu Shilang, let alone violate the laws of heaven and the country." "It was an accident to bump into Mrs. Lu today, and it was originally to clarify to Jiang Lianhua that she would take this patient, since Mrs. Lu herself said it first, then you might as well use it. As for what she wants Lu Xian to do, she hasn't thought of it yet, but it's always good to leave a way, maybe she will use it in the future.

Lu Xian felt that he had fallen into the trap today, but it was his own mother who was offended, and now that Taohua had this guarantee, he could only reply: "Then it will trouble Miss Jiang." ”

Mrs. Lu sighed secretly in her heart, but her husband had said everything, what else could she say, could she not let her mother-in-law cure her illness? I had to speak: "Then please ask the girl to check the pulse." ”

"The pulse has been diagnosed." Taohua turned her head to look at the maid beside Mrs. Lu, "Who is waiting for the old lady's diet?" I have a few words to ask. When did the old lady start talking about leg pain? ”

Immediately, a maid came out and replied, saying that it was after the beginning of autumn. At first, my knees seemed to be a little stiff, and my movement gradually became difficult, but then I became in pain. She glanced at Lu Xuan cautiously as she spoke, she didn't dare to say that it was from that day when Lu Xuan came back for her sister-in-law's business, Mrs. Lu twisted it when she stood up in a hurry, and then it hurt.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little weak, but when he thought of his grandmother, he still added with a straight face: "One day I twisted it, and it hurt." ”

Taohua smiled: "This has nothing to do with twisting. What does the old lady use in her summer diet? ”

This is even more cumbersome to say, and it is also thanks to this girl's good memory, and she can count most of them with her fingers. Halfway through hearing her, Taohua was already sure in her heart, interrupted her and asked, "In other words, the old lady loves to eat cold melons and melons in summer, and she has to eat a lot every day?" ”

The maid nodded. Originally, they were afraid that Mrs. Lu would not be able to hold back these cool things when she was old, but Mrs. Lu insisted that she loved to eat melons when she was a child, and she didn't have to use too much ice in the room to eat some of this in the summer. Mrs. Lu couldn't resist her, and seeing that she did not have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating, she went to her. At this time, I heard Taohua mention the words of eating melons, and quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with this melon?" The old lady has never had diarrhea or anything like that. ”

Taohua nodded affirmatively: "The old lady's leg disease started from eating too many melons." ”
