Chapter 227: A Vast Dream (11)

Anshuntang Mu Qingyuan knew that the portal was not big, and it was hidden in many large merchants in the East City, and it was difficult to live. Now looking at the courtyard of Anshun Hall, it is surprising: although there are many people at the door of the shop, it is not crowded, and it is lined up in an orderly manner. The procession was very interesting, with all kinds of people, some beggars in rags, some rich people in bright clothes; There are children in his arms, and there are also old men with canes......

Ah Liu casually asked an old man who looked a little bit old-fashioned: "Dare to ask this old father, since he is sick and old, why don't you invite that Chinese medicine doctor to visit him at home?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "The lady doesn't know anything, but if this Zhao doctor is willing to come to a certain house, why bother to come here to crowd here?" Saying that, he glanced at the hall and brought his hand to his lips, "This Doctor Zhao has good medical skills, but his temperament is very strange, and he does not take a penny for the consultation, but he is determined to refuse to go to the clinic, regardless of whether he is high or low, men and women, young and old, if he wants to seek a consultation, he must come in person, and the prescription must be grabbed in Anshun Hall." When I heard that there were a few beggars or poor families, who had no money to buy medicine, even the medicine money was paid by Dr. Zhao. ”

Ah Liu nodded and thanked his father-in-law, turned around and smiled at Mu Qing and said, "It's Zhao Cang who is good, I'm afraid that there will be no second doctor in the world who practices medicine like this." ”

Mu Qingming's groom sent Shiro back to his house first, but he and Ah Liu were waiting in front of Anshun Hall to wait for the crowd to disperse. Until the shadow of the sun turned west, the golden glow was closed, and the sound of the east market was loud, reminding the merchants in the city that the time was approaching, and Mu Qingfang stepped into Anshun Hall.

A high case in the hall. A person with a half-white hair was lying on the desk and copying the case medication, Xu was aware that someone had entered the store, but he didn't raise his head and kept writing, and said in a muffled voice: "Haven't you heard the sound of the cymbals in the scattered market?" If you have a disease, you can come back tomorrow, and if you can't wait, go to the doctor next to you as soon as possible. ”

After a long time, I didn't hear the sound of the people leaving, but a soft voice greeted me: "I haven't seen you for a few years." Is Doctor Zhao okay? ”

Zhao Cang was shocked. The pen in his hand froze on top of the paper, and he looked up. Seeing his frowning and stunned expression, Mu Qing bowed his knees, "Doctor Zhao doesn't want to see Qi Niang?" ”

Zhao Cang hurriedly lost his pen. Bypass the head from the back of the high case. "Qi Niang's identity is different now. Make such a big gift and teach a certain how to be worthy. He walked and bowed until he saw Mu Qingzhong standing up straight again. Fang Cai let go of his heart, "If you want to see anything, it's just that a certain heart just wants to hide in the city, study medical skills, and don't dare to disturb Qi Niang." ”

The two thought of Yinghua inviting herself to marry into Hongyi Palace and ruining her marriage contract with Zhao Cang, so they fell silent. After a while, I only heard Zhao Cang's dull sigh, and said with difficulty: "I have also heard about Yinghua, I have also heard about it, I have been inquiring about it for a long time in Chang'an, but I have never found out where she is buried, I only heard that Qi Niang brought it out of the palace." Now Zhao Cang has a reluctant request, willing to go to her grave to pay tribute to her, and ask Qi Niang to fulfill it. ”

Mu Qing couldn't help but be surprised, listening to what he meant, he came back to Chang'an to pay tribute to Yinghua, but he didn't come to Yongxingfang to ask her. At that moment, she closed her eyes and nodded, "Mr. Zhao, don't blame, Yinghua has never been buried, if Mr. wants to see him, please go back to the house with Qi Niang." ”

Back to the mansion of Yongxingfang, Mu Qing led Zhao Cang around the pavilions and pavilions of several courtyards, and now the Du Mansion has been voted by the Du clan, and has also raised a little bit of the guest department, which has doubled compared to before, and has walked two teas, and finally entered a hidden courtyard. The courtyard is very small, the length and width are only about ten steps, there is only one room in the courtyard, and the courtyard wall is thick, isolating all the noise from the outside, and the courtyard seems quiet and quiet.

Mu Qing opened the copper lock on the door of the house, gently pushed the door open, and saw a large offering table that occupied almost half of the room, a long oil lamp, all kinds of fruit offerings, water and rice, and the tablet in the middle of the offering table was Yinghua's name. Mu Qing clearly felt that Zhao Cang beside him was trembling involuntarily, and his feet seemed to be unstable.

She glanced at him, reached out to a conspicuous secret color porcelain altar on the offering table, and said quietly: "Although the saint promised me to take her out of the palace because of Yinghua's dying wishes, but in the end, the holy will is difficult to violate, I am only afraid that one day, the saint insists on posthumously sealing Yinghua and moving the imperial mausoleum." When she was alive, she hated being locked in the palace, that is, I can't stand her, is it possible that even the freedom of her soul has to teach me to be a sister who can't protect me......"

Mu Qing had a throat infarction, stopped talking, and swallowed hard several times before he said in a hoarse voice: "Therefore, I deceived you, and the saint asked about Yinghua's burial place several times, but I only replied that the fire was burning and ashes." In fact, although the fire was burning, it did not raise ashes. ”

Zhao Cang's feet floated, stumbled into the house, and caressed the porcelain altar with great care, without saying a word, tears flowed all over his eyes. Mu Qing turned around and gently closed the door, standing silently behind him, a beam of slanting sun shining in through the paste veil on the door, which was spreading on Zhao Cang's body, his gray hair was especially eye-catching. Mu Qing remembered that the last time he left with his Buddha sleeve, he was still full of black hair, but in five or six years, it was half white, which was really sad. At this moment, seeing his back crying bitterly, I couldn't help but leave a few tears.

After a while, he rolled up his sleeves, wiped the tears on his face a few times, and said to Mu Qing with red eyes: "If she hadn't left Beijing on the day she was seriously injured, I would have treated her with my own hands, or I would have been able to save her life." I blamed me for being angry for a while, but I mistook her......"

Mu Qinggang was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but he waved his hand, "Qi Niang doesn't have to comfort me, she was useless back then, she couldn't relieve her worries, and then when her life was hanging by a thread, she couldn't save her, and I couldn't forgive myself for the rest of my life, so I just waited for Huangquan in the future to make amends to her." ”

"Don't say that." Mu Qing stabilized his mind, "I am also full of regret, the deceased is like this, and it is useless to regret it." Now that Mr. Zhao knows the truth, he is still keeping his mouth shut. Qi Niang has already committed the crime of defrauding the king, but I am not afraid of the crime, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep Yinghua's soul at ease, and I can't help her again. ”

Zhao Cang hugged his hand and said firmly: "Qi Niang doesn't have to worry too much, I can reflect on myself." ”

The two burned three incense sticks in front of the case. After saying goodbye, he pushed the door out, walked slowly in the direction of the main courtyard, and talked about the child left by Yinghua all the way, who is still in the palace now, because he has been given the title of princess, and wants to take her out of the palace to raise, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

When I walked into the main courtyard, I saw Du Qi hurrying in from the gate and saw her. He paused and bowed and said, "Lady." Aaron is home. ”

Mu Qing looked at the sky, it was already twilight, although it was not time to close, but it was also the time for dinner. "Doctor Zhao is not busy going out. It's getting late. Why don't you have dinner in the house. How about an overnight stay? Qi Niang has something to worry about, and I hope that Doctor Zhao will not push it back. ”

Zhao Cangyuan thought about excuse himself, but when he looked up, he saw Du Ruhui, who was dressed in purple and gold, coming towards him. Although the sky was dark, he also had a smile on his face, and he could still see from his face that he was not very healthy, and he expected that what Mu Qing asked for was exactly this matter, so he took the opportunity to respond.

After some greetings, Du Ruhui let him into the house in the main courtyard, and Mu Qing went to the kitchen to urge dinner.

That night, Zhao Cang really diagnosed Du Ruhan's pulse, and when he prescribed the prescription, Mu Qing inquired carefully on the side, Zhao Cang felt strange, "Du Shangshu really hurt his liver and blood too much, but this is not difficult, why can't Qi Niang diagnose it?" ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, "If you care, you can't be sure of the pulse you diagnosed, you have to worry about Doctor Zhao to confirm it." Besides, in terms of medicine, who can have such exquisite attainments as Doctor Zhao. ”

Zhao Cang picked up the prescription and examined it, handed it to Mu Qing, and instructed: "Although Du Shangshu is still in his prime, after all, he is over forty years old. ”

Since then, Mu Qing has kept these words in mind, and every drink and peck in the mansion has been modulated by her hands, without any care. In the middle of the New Year, Du Yan passed away, Mu Qing was the master, and all the chores were handled by the clansmen, and he didn't dare to work for half of him. If you are careful to nourish, in the early spring after the year, Du Ruhui's complexion has improved significantly, and the long-lost look is gradually recovering.

Mu Qing's whole mind was on Du Ruhui's daily medicinal diet, so that the spring of Zhenguan's three years had quietly approached for a long time, and she was unaware of it. It wasn't until she happened to see a snow-white pear blossom tree in the backyard fluttering and spreading across most of the yard that she was shocked and asked Ah Liu, "What is the solar term now?" ”

Two days after asking this, the door suddenly received a post from the eldest princess Gaomi. Ah Liu then posted a strange post, "Originally, I only wanted the eldest princess to refuse to come out for the sake of the six palace maids in the Jingcini Temple." ”

"She has had a grudge with the queen for so many years, if she only closed her door for one or two cases, she would have gone with her husband to refine the pill and cultivate, how could she still go in and out of Chang'an City." Mu Qing chuckled and raised the post in his hand, "Spring has arrived, and as soon as the peony banquet opens, she naturally wants to come out." ”

Before the day of the post, the eldest princess Gaomi had already come to Yongxingfang in a hurry. The porter of Du Mansion was busy reporting and picking up the driver, so busy that even Mu Qing, who was welcoming him out, couldn't help but say: "What advice does the eldest princess have, you can send someone to summon Qi Niang to visit, why ......?"

"You can hold on." The eldest princess of Gaomi dragged her arm with a thin layer of anger, "Go and change your clothes, and follow me to the West Market." ”

Mu Qing was helpless, changed her dress according to her words, got into the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion, and followed her to the West Market.

She usually only walks around in the East Market, but rarely goes to the West Market, first, the shops in the East Market are more decent, and the big businessmen prefer to do business in the East Market, and the West Market is mixed, there are all kinds of characters, she has a small house in Chonghuafang, and she always intends to bypass the West Market whenever she goes. I don't know why this eldest princess dragged her to the West Market.

The carriage of the eldest princess's mansion stopped somewhere in the city, and the eldest princess Gaomi got out of the car with Mu Qing and went straight to a wine shop. The liquor store is incomparable to that of Kaizaburo in Higashi, and most of the people in the restaurant are small people in the market, and there are also trading merchants. There was a large table in the hall, and many people were stacked on top of each other.

Mu Qing followed the eldest princess Gaomi upstairs, and only by the railing did he see that it was a middle-aged man who looked like a traveling merchant surrounded by everyone, and urged him to talk about something with great interest.

The eldest princess of Gaomi glared down angrily, turned her head sideways and whispered to Mu Qing, "You listen carefully to what they say." ”

Mu Qing listened carefully, but he was not shocked, and grabbed the carved wooden fence in front of him with one hand, his knuckles trembling slightly.

"Last year's flood, this year's locust plague, Rao is like this, the military department of the court is still insisting on using troops against the Turks. It's easy to settle down in the past two years, but there is going to be a war again! If our land is invaded, our generation of men will go into battle to defend against the enemy, but now the khan has clearly asked the saint to marry the princess, and he has shown favor in every way, where is there half a bit of hostility. In this way, it is still necessary to use troops, and I don't know what the intention of the military department is. The wandering merchant in the middle was full of righteous indignation, and those who were familiar with some political and state affairs around him couldn't help but speak in harmony.

"Those who are so familiar with the government must not be ordinary businessmen." Mu Qing sank the anger in his chest, and whispered to the eldest princess of Gaomi, "Have you checked the origin of this person?" ”

"What if you find out, and if it's like this everywhere in the city today, you can't check them all." The eldest princess of Gaomi snorted coldly: "These people don't know why they are so bold and dare to criticize the affairs of the court in the market, they don't look like ordinary people. ”

"There is food and grass to fight the war, but not to the hungry! How is this different from the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty? The saint must have been deceived by some slanderous words. A voice said.

"Now that there is a famine, maybe the army is collecting grain on a large scale by conquering the Turks, and I don't know what the idea is." Suddenly, someone came out of nowhere.

Mu Qing's heart was beating in horror when he heard it, his heart fluttered in his chest, the words that were hotly discussed below, those who were in the crowd, obviously someone had arranged it with a heart, and every word pointed the finger at Du Ruhui, and if he continued, he didn't know what to say. As for whose handwriting it is, there is no need to check, she knows in her heart that it is nothing more than the eldest grandson faction who has been frequently suppressed because of Du Ruhui's right migration.

"But the more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes!" The eldest princess of Gaomi slapped her hands on the fence angrily, and summoned people to disperse the people gathered below.

Mu Qing hurriedly stopped: "Eldest princess, slow down!" No eviction is allowed. ”

She saw that the person who led the order stood still, so she held on to the fence and took two breaths, "This time, everyone didn't know who dispersed, so they naturally counted the account on Du Fu's head, and the trouble started, but it couldn't end, and Du Fu was panicked." Second, the first few people were obviously not ordinary people, they alarmed the city, brought Wuhou to get people, and asked the general, these words must not be reported layer by layer? Let them go, and it won't be a matter of a day or two. ”

The eldest princess of Gaomi stopped her family members who were about to act, and was full of doubts, "Qi Niang has never heard these words?" I don't know what Du Shangshu is doing in the court recently? ”

Mu Qing shook his head, "It's still a big taboo to put the beak in the harem, not to mention the women in my mansion." He didn't want me to know, so I couldn't ask more. ”

"I have heard that when the saint was still in the hidden mansion, he discussed with Du Shangshu and others, and Qi Niang was always on the side, and often listened to your thoughts, why do you think of avoiding it now?" The eldest princess asked in a low voice.

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help but reply: "At that time, the saint was Erlang, and now he is the Son of Heaven, this time is different from the past, I naturally can't lose my sense of proportion." ”

As if she hadn't said this, the eldest princess of Gaomi didn't fully understand it, but it was not good to talk about it anymore, so she didn't talk about it, and went downstairs to the house with Mu Qing. (To be continued......)
