Section 5: Recognition of flesh and blood

The old man raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes, patted Xiao She'er's head, and said with a smile: "I always praise you for your calm demeanor and not being a child, why are you ...... today?"

Xiao She'er raised her head and couldn't wipe away her tears, "I don't want to be calm, I don't want to go." Father-in-law...... Father-in-law ......" Xiao She'er suddenly cried loudly: "Grandfather, you are my own grandfather!" Why do I want to call you grandpa, you always don't allow it? ”

The old man's body shook: "What did you say?" What else do you know? Although his face was full of shock, he couldn't hide the joy and emotion when he heard the voice of "grandfather".

Xiao She'er still had three doubts, but the old man's words were like not admitting himself.

Xiao She'er got out of the chair, knelt down with the old man's knees, and tears flowed down: "Grandfather, you are finally willing to recognize Xiao She'er." ”

"I refuse to admit you for fear of implicating you. Good boy, get up, how did you recognize me, and is anyone else aware of this? The old man gently helped Xiao She'er up and helped her wipe away the tears on her face, while she was very worried and frightened.

"No one knows what to say anymore. Do you remember what I told you about the aunt of Chunfeng Building? She was the one who let me into the house with the butler and let me slowly find out where you were. There are some things she told me that I must not tell you until I recognize you. I was too young to know why, so I didn't tell you. Aunt Xi said that she saw you, so she told you that her name was Xiwen. ”

"Cherish the text...... Sure enough, it was her. The old man nodded, his gaze distant.

"My aunt also told me about your appearance, but when I saw you, you didn't look like her at all, and you ...... at that time Can't speak yet. She didn't tell me that you were a ...... Crazy", speaking of this, remembering her grandfather's appearance when he pretended to be crazy, Xiao She'er couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, "Auntie only knows that you are in this mansion, but whether you live or die, whether you are locked up or become a servant, she herself doesn't know what to do." ”

"Good boy, it's hard for you, so how do you know it's me?"

"My aunt also said that you used to be an imperial doctor."

"Therefore, when you see that I know how to heal, you know that it is me? Wouldn't that be too risky? ”

"It's not dangerous at all. Last year, you taught me how to diagnose the pulse, and since there were no existing patients, you said, 'Why do you need to take the pulse yourself?' Although the ancients had a suspensory pulse diagnosis, they also needed to have patients. A real good doctor can prescribe medicine just by looking at the pulse. Xiao She'er put her left hand behind her back, pinched her chin with her right hand, shook her head and learned the appearance of the old man's art.

The old man couldn't help but smile, "You still remember this so clearly, no wonder you learn everything quickly." But this is also very common, but where do you know the Tao? ”

"It's the word 'pulse'."

The old man was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but shed tears again: "Good, good, good!" My Liu family has a queen! ”

Xiao She'er knelt down again, "It turns out that my surname is Liu." For 14 years, I have been an orphan without a father or mother, and my aunt said that I could take a cheap name to support, so she called me 'Xiao She'er'. It turns out that I am not an outcast, I still have a surname, and I still have my own grandfather. ”

The two were happy and sad, and it took a while before they calmed down.

"Although I don't often go to the front, I ask for peace twice a month, plus I take things, and I have also seen the imperial doctors in the palace who are not on duty come to see the masters. After seeing the disease, he did not register the pulse case, but only prescribed prescriptions. Lilac often said how rich this palace is, and there is no pulse case, so I am sure that the only one who can record the pulse case is the inner courtyard of the palace. Grandpa, you've seen the pulse case, aren't you still the imperial doctor? ”

The old man nodded and stroked his beard, and his heart was very happy.

"Grandpa, how did you recognize me?"

"Grandpa isn't as smart as you. You know that your eyes look like your mother's? Xiao She'er was sad and happy in her heart, her mother's voice and smile had long been reduced to more than ten years of wandering, and she inherited some of her mother's appearance, which was also a comfort. Suddenly I felt that something was very inappropriate, but I didn't know what the road was for a while, so I didn't open my mouth and listened to my grandfather.

"I was astonished when you were brought in when you were seven years old, and your big eyes, though young, were seven or eight points like your mother's. I didn't know the details, so I had to pretend to be crazy and dumb. You just came with a high fever, alas, it's all because I didn't take good care of you", my grandfather sighed, very self-reproachful, "I put a wet cloth on your head and neck, only to see your collar, it was actually when you were born, your grandmother re-fried her ancestral collar, and engraved the words on it, the fifteenth day of the first month of the year of Xinsi." I realized that it was you...... When you were born, you were born with pink makeup, and your grandmother and mother used to hold you and sing to you, and even I learned it. Seeing that your high fever does not go away, you are already a little confused, and you still think that you are that baby, so you speak...... When you listen to me sing, you gradually turn around, you can speak, you can call your mother......"
