Chapter Fifty-Eight: Orpiment
It has been three days since Cheng Jianniang's consultation, and Cheng Jianniang's courtyard is as crowded as ever.
A lady walked out with the curtain open, and the others in the room hurriedly stood up.
"How? Cheng Niangzi prescribed medicine? Everyone hurriedly asked.
The lady shook her head, a little puzzled.
The people present looked at each other, and their eyes were confused.
"Don't prescribe medicine? What did that say? A busy asked.
The lady shook her head again.
"That's it again." Everyone said, "This, what does this mean?" ”
In the past few days, everyone has seen this Cheng Niangzi as they wished, and they also said with satisfaction what they asked for a consultation, whether it was a son, daughter, husband or other relatives, Cheng Niangzi listened quietly and asked them to talk in detail one by one, but they listened carefully, but in the end they didn't say anything.
If you don't prescribe medicine and don't talk about the symptoms, what kind of diagnosis is this? Did you just listen to their gossip?
Everyone present was a little anxious.
"Which lady is still going to ask?" The maidservant lifted the curtain and came out, and asked.
When she saw the servant, a lady stood up.
"I'll ask her." She said, making a reassuring gesture to everyone, "I asked her directly and saw what she had to say." ”
Everyone nodded, in the past few days, everyone has a noble lady who abides by etiquette, and the other is only the rules of this Cheng lady's medical practice, so although they feel strange, no one has any questions.
But it doesn't seem like it's going to work without asking.
The lady went into the side room, and saw the woman who seemed to be reading a book sitting in front of her, to be exact. Girlish.
Sit down with each other and salute.
"What a sickness. Age of the patient. I'll listen to them one by one. Cheng Jianniang said directly.
The lady also knew the rules, so she spoke seriously, and after speaking, she saw that the woman's eyes were still looking at the book, and she didn't know whether she heard it or not.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Madame is finished?" The maidservant asked.
Madame nodded and looked at Cheng Jianniang.
Cheng Jianniang nodded slightly.
"Madame, please." The maidservant hurriedly got up and led the way.
This time, the lady did not obediently follow her, but sat up straight.
"Mrs. Cheng." She asked, "How should my family Langjun use medicine?" ”
Cheng Jianniang raised her head and looked at her.
"Me. Ignorance. She said.
Madame was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.
"Lady? What did the lady say? She asked.
"I can't treat your husband's illness, so I don't know how to use medicine." Cheng Jianniang said.
What does this mean?
The lady's eyes widened in astonishment.
Hearing the news, all the people outside poured in, and asked Cheng Jianniang chaotically, and sure enough, Cheng Jianniang replied that she was not cured.
"Lady, these days, you are. Are you, fooling us? ”
"That's right. yes, aren't you a miracle doctor? ”
"Why can't you cure it? These diseases are not unusual, right? ”
There was a lot of chatter and anxious questions in the room.
Cheng Jianniang still sat a few days in front of her, slowly holding her book.
"That's the rule." The handmaid shouted, her voice raised to cover everyone's inquiries.
"Rules? Yes, your rule is not to go out to receive medical treatment, we are here, you here, what do you want us to do? "Let's not talk about it, speaking of this, thinking of coming here in a hurry for the past few days, a lady shouted angrily.
"That's right, my lady has rules for treating patients, don't you know the way?" The maidservant was also surprised and asked, "This is one of them." ”
One of them? And the second one?
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
"What's the second one?" Someone asked.
The maid didn't speak, Cheng Jianniang stood up, and her big eyes swept over everyone under the eyebrow curtain.
"No, those who will die will not be cured." She spoke.
Everyone was stunned, and then there was an uproar.
Those who are not bound to die will not be cured?
Are you kidding?
Crazy?
The noble ladies who filled the courtyard poured into Mrs. Zhou's courtyard like a tide.
First of all, I was curious to visit, I couldn't see it, and I was disappointed, and then I suddenly said that I was going to be consulted, and my attitude was so good, I was overjoyed, and I came here lively, and the woman said that she only consulted five or six people a day, and everyone waited anxiously and excitedly, and as a result, now she suddenly said that the person who must die will die!
In other words, they have been tossing for so many days!
Disappointment, surprise, excitement, anxiety, and disappointment, this is playing with them, right?
The house was overturned, and the ladies who had always paid attention to good manners and dignity completely exploded after these emotional ups and downs.
"....What do you mean?"
“… I call you Sister Zhou, do you have a sister to a sister? ”
“… Kang Jiuniang, we have been handkerchiefs since childhood, you have climbed the high branches of Chen Xianggong's house now, and I am nothing in your eyes, right..."
"Are you such a bully?"
Mrs. Zhou took medicine to sleep, and when she saw so many people rushing in, she shouted and said, and her brain was messed up.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
It took a mess to ask what was going on from the mouths of these angry ladies, and Mrs. Zhou was stupid.
"What are you kidding?" she said, standing up.
"yes, what are you kidding us, it's fun for the New Year?" A lady aired.
"What's my business?" Mrs. Zhou reached out and stroked her chest.
"Your daughter, isn't it your business, our business?" The other lady replied immediately.
Look, look, the smiling face is given to this girl, and she has to carry the trouble.
Mrs. Zhou held her chest and coughed.
"She's dead, why are you looking for her, what's the urgency for me." She aired.
"Since there are rules, don't make it clear earlier, you are deliberately watching us lively!" Ladies are also airways.
What are the rules, Mrs. Zhou's brain is booming, and she is even more confused when she listens to it.
Those who are not bound to die will not be cured?
"I don't know about this." She said busily.
But. At this moment, the angry ladies will not listen.
"Anyway. You're amazing. You have the final say on everything, and we are in a hurry to let you play around, you deserve it. The ladies said indignantly, no longer listening to Mrs. Zhou, and threw away their sleeves.
Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to stop but didn't know which one to stop, coughed, and finally reached out to cover her chest.
"Hurry up and call the master back, I'm in big trouble!" She shouted. Fall down on the mat.
Accompanied by the galloping carriage and horses in front of the Zhou family, this bold and arrogant and stupid sentence quickly spread like a tide.
In the first month of the year, it is the time when you move around the most, and in the inner houses and concierge rooms of each family, all kinds of rumors are spreading faster and wider than in the past.
Even if Chen Xianggong's father was cured, and the rumors of meeting immortals were first, they couldn't withstand the absurdity of this sentence.
What's more, there are a lot of beautiful girls in the process now, obviously a young girl, and although she doesn't seem to be stupid. But it's not clever.
I had never studied medicine, so I dared to say such a thing.
Immortal magic. The women and children of the common people heard that it was just lively, and the high-ranking officials and magnates of the clan all respected the ghosts and gods and stayed away.
"This old Shaanxi Zhou wants to be famous, he wants to go crazy!"
"Isn't it just that one person has been cured, and the Zhou family is so frivolous."
"Speaking of which, the name Lao Shaanxi Zhou has been called for a long time, and there has been no other growth for so many years, it's time to change the name, such as..."
"Like calling Old Silly Zhou?"
“… Haha
Master Zhou brushed and pushed the table in front of him, and the servant women in the house and outside the house shrank their heads silently.
Mrs. Zhou's cough became more and more violent from the room.
"I'll just say, I'll just say, you still don't believe it..."She shouted in a trembling voice, "She is sincere in destroying our Zhou family!" This can't be mixed up in the capital! ”
While talking, he urged the servant woman.
"Pack up your things, pack your things, leave immediately, and go back to Shaanzhou."
Naturally, the servants didn't dare to really clean up their things, and knelt on the ground to persuade and coax.
"Does she still call this place home?" Master Zhou shouted and kicked over the flower stand.
"Do you think she calls this place home?" Mrs. Zhou shouted inside, and there was another violent cough, "She is taking this place as an enemy!" ”
"What about the, call her!" Master Zhou yelled, "Call her." ”
A servant woman ran out of the house in a hurry, and then came back in a hurry.
"She, she, don't come." The servant said in a trembling voice.
This!
Old Man Zhou leaned back angrily, walked around the room, and reached out to grab the sword hanging on the wall.
"Such a scourge, what's the use of keeping it!" He shouted and rushed out.
Frightened, the servants and girls in the room knelt down and crossed their arms and legs to stop them.
Liuliulang kicked the door open, and the maidservant girl in the house was startled.
"Sixth Son." The maidservant immediately smiled and stood up, "I was just about to tell you that our lady is going out, so you can prepare the car." ”
Liuliulang, who opened his mouth to scold with a stiff face, choked on this sentence.
"Cheng Jianniang, you come out for me!" Liulang shouted, looking behind the curtain.
Looking at Liuliulang's expression, the maidservant who was originally smiling sank her face and didn't speak, but she didn't have the uneasiness, worry, or even anger that other girls should have, but took a few steps back and stood by the tent.
Behind the tent, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the maidservant reached out to lift the curtain.
Changing into the plain robe and plain skirt she was used to wearing, Cheng Jiaoniang, who had long hair and smooth hair, looked at Liuliulang.
"Are you crazy?" Saturday Lang shouted.
"Nope." Cheng Jianniang replied and stepped out.
"You're not crazy, what are you talking crazy about?" Liuliulang gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't die, what rules!" You make things up, deliberately make trouble, and come up with something convincing, okay? ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at him, and the corners of her mouth curved.
"Don't you know my rules?" She asked.
"How do I know about the Dao? I'm not stupid! Saturday Lang said with a sneer.
Cheng Jianniang looked at him.
"Don't you have half celery?" She said slowly.
The name Banqin suddenly popped up, and the maid on the side was slightly stunned, and she almost responded habitually.
"You, go and ask, I, Cheng Jiaoniang, is that kind of person, making up nonsense and making false promises."
Don't wait for anyone to answer, who asks, Cheng Jianniang continued, while slowly stepping forward and looking at Liulang.
"You, go and ask, I, Cheng Jiaoniang, is it, have you been following the rules."
"I, Cheng Jianniang, walk upright, stand upright, don't come to the door for consultation, if you don't die, you won't be treated, if there is a lie."
Cheng Jianniang said, standing in front of Liulang.
The young man who has not yet fully grown up, in front of this girl who is already budding, does not have a slight advantage in his sight.
"I'm thundering five times a day!" Cheng Jianniang said word by word.
With these words, there seemed to be thunder rolling in Liulang's ears, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and when he reacted, a trace of shame flashed on his tense face.
Cheng Jianniang had already turned around and walked out.
"Cheng Jianniang, aren't you afraid of making things bigger?" Liuliulang gritted his teeth and shouted.
Cheng Jianniang stopped, looked back at him, and the corners of her mouth curved.
This was the only expression on the woman's face, but Liulang didn't feel the slightest pleasing to the eye.
The face is stiff, and there is no smile in a pair of eyes, which makes people feel chilled.
"I'm just afraid, it's not a big deal." She said. (To be continued......)
