Chapter 170: Cold Poison
The summer morning in the capital is already lively, but when the road is swept away, the sound of the shops opening the door sounds, the hawkers who sell rouge embroidery in the various alleys with their burdens, and the cars that deliver water or vegetables to the families of the powerful make the morning of the whole capital full of some hot prosperity.
At this time, a green oil cloth car stopped at the door of the Li family's mansion, and the mother-in-law wearing a muslin blue floral shirt knocked on the door of the Li family.
The porter held tea in one hand and opened the door with the other, and when he saw his mother-in-law, he smiled and asked, "Dare to ask which one it is?" ”
The mother-in-law smiled very kindly: "I annoyed this eldest brother to report it, and said that the Pei family was visiting." ”
"But the Baihua Pei family?" The porter asked again, and when he saw that the mother-in-law nodded yes, he quickly took a bench for the mother-in-law to sit down, and he himself went to the backyard as if he was happy.
After a while, Li Luan'er came out with a few girls, but saw two girls wearing willow green dresses coming down from the carriage first, and the girls came down and helped out Mrs. Pei, and then, the three turned around and helped out a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe with a pale face and a very thin face.
This man has long eyebrows and thin eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and he really looks like a sick and weak literati.
It's just that Li Luan'er knows that this is not a literati, but Pei Ji, the current head of the Pei family.
"Your guests have come to the door, and they have not been greeted from afar, but they have also looked at Haihan."
Li Luan'er hugged her fists and saluted when she saw the two members of the Pei family, she was dressed in women's clothes, but she was a man's etiquette, and her posture was chic and extraordinary, which made Pei Ji have a good impression of Mr.
Mrs. Pei held Pei Ji with one hand, covered her mouth with the other and chuckled: "What a distinguished guest, it's good that the eldest lady doesn't treat us as evil guests." ”
While talking, Li Luan'er had already invited the Pei family into the courtyard.
She looked at Pei Ji, and then at Mrs. Pei, without asking, she knew that these two people were afraid that they were here to seek medical treatment.
She had already agreed with Mrs. Pei before, if she had time, she would be asked to bring Pei Ji to the house to have a look, or Mrs. Jin could cure Pei Ji's illness with a skillful hand, probably because the Pei family had too many affairs, and it was not until now that Mrs. Pei came.
Li Luan'er invited the Pei family and his wife to sit down in the main hall, and asked someone to invite Mrs. Jin to come over, Li Luan'er followed Mrs. Jin for a long time, plus she often went up the mountain to collect medicine in Fenghuang County, but asked her to also know some medical science, she saw Pei Ji panting from time to time along the way, her face was even more flushed, and she had coughed several times after sitting down, knowing that he must be weak, and she didn't dare to invite him to tea at will, let alone bring cold things, just asked someone to bring a glass of white water, He also took out the dim sum made by Li Chun to nourish blood and qi and asked Pei Ji to taste it.
At Mrs. Pei's place, Li Luaner naturally served the dried flower tea at home, and brought all kinds of fancy snacks to the table.
After Mrs. Pei ate two pieces of snacks and Pei Ji also drank a few sips of water, Li Luan'er smiled: "The flowers I ordered before have been sent, the Pei family is really worthy of the name of a hundred flowers, those flowers are really good, the roses are delicate, the jasmine is fragrant, it is really the best quality, that is, our wife also admired it for a while, and now our shop has made a few kinds of fat powder, it just so happens that Mrs. is here, you must bring some back to try when you leave, whether it is good or not, and give us some advice." ”
"What opinions, I'm just a rough person, where do I know so much." Mrs. Pei pointed to her face: "I don't like to use those fat powders on weekdays, at most I smear some facial fat on my face in autumn and winter, and I don't call my face too dry." ”
Li Luan'er looked carefully, and sure enough, she saw that Mrs. Pei had no fat powder on her face, and she looked like she was facing the sky, so she nodded and said: "The ones bought outside don't need to be used, it's not good to use too much skin on the opposite side, but these are made of natural pollen from my family, Mrs. might as well use them." ”
"Then I'm disrespectful." Mrs. Pei smiled: "When you leave, you can bring more with me, not only me, but also my two girls." ”
Before Li Luan'er could agree, she heard footsteps, and then Mrs. Jin took Ruifang into the house.
The three people in the house hurriedly got up to greet Mrs. Jin when they saw Mrs. Jin come in, Mrs. Jin smiled and talked to the Pei family couple, and after sitting down, she didn't say much, and directly called Pei Ji to go over and check his pulse.
After taking the pulse, Mrs. Jin frowned, and her face was heavy.
"Ma'am?" Mrs. Pei probably saw something and asked cautiously.
After a while, Mrs. Jin waved her hand: "Speaking of Uncle Pei, this illness is not a big deal, but your body has been delayed." ”
"This ......" Mrs. Pei was very puzzled, and Pei Ji also looked at Mrs. Jin with a puzzled face.
Mrs. Jin said in a deep voice: "When Mrs. Pei was pregnant with Uncle Pei, she was about to touch someone's means, so that Uncle Pei was born with a weak disease, if he was born with a good recuperation, although his body and bones are not strong, but after adulthood, he is no different from ordinary people, but Uncle Pei is afraid that he has been hit by some means when he was a child, or he has been invaded by the cold, or he has been poisoned by the cold......
When Mrs. Jin said this, Mrs. Pei's face changed greatly: "This, madam, can my father-in-law still be governed?" ”
Pei Ji looked pensive, and only spoke after a long time: "What Madame said is very true, I did have other people's calculations when I was a child. ”
"What's going on?" Mrs. Pei was even more surprised: "Why didn't Xianggong tell me." ”
Pei Ji smiled lightly, with a calm and square face, looking at the bearing, the absolutely honest and humble gentleman, coupled with his thin body and panting from time to time, it made people feel a little pity for him.
"It's been a long time, and I don't want to say it to annoy the lady." As he spoke, Pei Ji told the story of the year in detail.
It turned out that the heirs of the Pei family were thin in several generations, and when it came to the generation of the old lady of the Pei family, except for the old lady Pei back then, for the sake of the heirs, she accepted a concubine, and this concubine was not from someone else's, but a side branch woman of the Peony Wang family.
The Pei family has been operating in the capital for several generations and has a deep foundation, but the Peony Wang family has been in the field, and the well water of the Pei family does not interfere with the river water, so the old lady of the Pei family is also at ease with the daughter of the Wang family.
But he didn't understand the means of women competing for favor, and how vicious things women would do for the sake of status and children, which made Pei Ji miserable.
After the Wang family entered the Pei family, they were still safe and secure, and they treated Mrs. Pei very respectfully, but when she became pregnant, she became restless.
Wang Shi saw that Pei Ji was congenitally deficient and thin and weak since he was a child, so he looked down on him, and thought that he could give birth to a strong child to replace Pei Ji's position, her calculation was excellent, but later she learned that the Pei family's family rules were very strict, and she couldn't be stricter on the distinction between concubines and concubines, so she began to have bad thoughts.
Wang was unwilling to let his son be no better than a thin Pei Ji, and every time he saw Pei Ji, his heart was on fire, and he wished that Pei Ji would get sick for a while.
It happened to be winter, Pei Ji's body and bones were a little uncomfortable, and he invited a doctor to take a look, so Wang bought the little girl who boiled medicine for Pei Ji, and put Pei Ji's medicine with cold poison, which was Wang's behavior, which almost gave Pei Ji's life.
Pei Ji's illness is getting worse and worse, and the old lady Pei is also very anxious, the old lady Pei is worried about Pei Ji, and while asking a doctor with excellent medical skills, she is checking in the backyard.
It's just that Wang was pregnant at that time, and he couldn't do anything about her, so he locked her up and didn't let her communicate with outsiders.
This Wang Shi probably did something immoral, so he tossed the blessing away, gave birth to a thin little girl when she was eight months pregnant, and went without feeding after birth, and Wang also lost her hemorrhage because of dystocia.
After Pei Ji finished talking about the accident here, everyone fell silent for a while.
Pei Ji smiled bitterly: "This is the ugly thing of the Pei family, I don't want to say it, but my wife's medical skills are really good, and I can see it after so many years, for the sake of my body, I have to say it." ”
Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Ji and choked up: "Xianggong, I've hurt you." ”
Pei Ji smiled and comforted Mrs. Pei a few words, Li Luan'er saw that they were in love with each other, and said that it might be that Pei Ji suffered from the concubine, plus he was not in good health, and he knew that he didn't have the energy to deal with many women, but he treated Mrs. Pei wholeheartedly, and this Mrs. Pei was really sincere to Pei Ji, and the husband and wife were a rare match.
She thought about it again, Pei Ji only said that the Wang family was blessed and had a difficult birth, even the daughter she gave birth to did not feed, it is true to say so, but who knows if Mrs. Pei made a move in the matter back then.
It stands to reason that the Wang family is bold enough to plot against Pei Ji, how can Mrs. Pei tolerate him, saying that she can't do anything when the Wang family gives birth.
It's just that she can only think about this in her heart, and she never says it.
Mrs. Jin listened to Pei Ji's words and thought for a while: "Your cold poison has only been suppressed for so many years, and it has not been completely removed, if you want to regulate your body bones, you must first pull out the cold poison, but this year is a little more, it is not so easy." ”
As soon as Pei Ji heard it, he understood that this Mrs. Jin must have a way to cure his illness, so he quickly got up and saluted Mrs. Jin: "No matter how difficult it is, cooperate with Mrs. to diagnose and treat it, and ask Mrs. to help me get rid of the stubborn disease, my Pei family will be grateful." ”
Mrs. Jin smiled: "The heart of the doctor's parents, if you come to the door, how can I not save it, so, I will first prescribe a prescription with you, you drink it for two months, and after two months, I will acupuncture with you to remove the poison. ”
Mrs. Pei was overjoyed for a while, and followed Pei Ji to get up and thank you.
Li Luan'er lowered her head and smiled secretly, her heart said that Mrs. Jin's words made people laugh, she was a poisonous hand doctor, and her ability to make poison was higher than that of a doctor, where is there any doctor's parents' heart, but because the family needs cheap flowers provided by the Pei family, she only helped, if it was someone else, you would see if she would help with such a big effort.
