Chapter 61: Who
Qin Langjun looked at Banqin.
"Banqin, you're not comfortable here, why don't you come with me." He said suddenly.
Banqin bowed her head and saluted.
"Xie Langjun, slave, don't want to leave." She said.
It is up to her to decide if a servant girl goes to stay, Qin Langjun shouldn't ask her this kind of thing, and she shouldn't answer.
Qin Langjun smiled, and Liulang snorted.
"Let's go down." He said.
Banqin gave a salute and retreated with a little trepidation.
The night shrouded the courtyard of the Zhou family, and the lights were everywhere in the first month, shining festively and brightly.
Banqin, as always, stood behind a big tree outside Cheng Jianniang's yard, looking at the yard that had not yet been closed.
Her hands picked at the bark and looked at the courtyard in a daze.
A woman walked out of the corridor, outlining a delicate figure in the intersection of light and dark.
That's the ...... Half celery.
Banqin tensed up, looked through the door and watched the maid say something, and the two servant women nodded respectfully and hurriedly walked out of the door.
Half celery hurriedly retracted behind the tree.
"What is Miss Banqin doing all this at such a late hour?"
"What do you do, people want it, just send it quickly."
The two servants walked briskly past the road laughing, and the gate of the courtyard was closed, cutting off Banqin's sight.
She was stunned for a moment before she turned around and walked, stumbling under her feet, but her feet were numb from the cold, and she bent over and rubbed hard for a long time before she eased up a little, and ran towards her place with her shoulders in her arms.
On the way, I met a servant woman who was on patrol at night, and I had to take a closer look, and when I returned to my residence, the door of the house was also struck.
She didn't dare to shout. Just knock on the door carefully. It took a while to open it with a few curses.
The lights were already dark in the room. I didn't know what I bumped into when I walked in, and it caused a moment of scolding, and then everything fell silent.
It was a fine day, and a carriage stopped again on the street when it was about to turn a corner.
"Da Lang-kun, San Lang-kun." The maid lifted the curtain and shouted, jumping out of the car and saluting.
Fan Jianglin and Xu Maoxiu came side by side.
"My sister is here?" They asked, looking at the carriage.
No woman in the carriage was re-seen.
"Nope. The lady asked me to bring some food. The handmaid laughed.
Fan Jianglin and Xu Maoxiu nodded with a smile.
"You go back and tell my sister that the matter is almost over, and it depends on when the contract can be signed." Xu Maoxiu said implicitly.
That is, when will there be money.
The maidservant nodded, and said goodbye.
People and vehicles go their separate ways.
On the street, the Han Won Dynasty stopped.
"Yuan Dynasty? What's wrong? The companion called back.
"I just saw, I saw that girl." Han Yuanchao said, looking behind him,
The carriage turned into a narrow alley and was gone.
"Which girl?" Companion asked.
Han Yuanchao smiled and went first.
"Not at all." He laughed.
The companion smiled and shook his head to follow. There was a commotion in the streets.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
With the sound of shouting. I don't know that the guards of that house are holding sticks to open the way.
Pedestrians on the street have taken refuge, and those who have been beaten can only consider themselves unlucky, and the identity of being able to use the guards to open the way is naturally not low, and they cannot sue the people for the crime of disturbing the people.
"Who's that?" Han Yuanchao and his companions were also squeezed aside and couldn't help but ask.
"Outlander, huh?" Someone next to him said, looking at the two of them, "It's still a showman, this is in the capital, and some people's emblems have to be memorized." ”
Han Yuanchao and his companions looked at each other and were amused.
"Dare to ask my uncle, whose noble family is this?" They asked.
The old man is a little well-informed and proud.
"So I can tell you that this is the carriage of the Tong Neihan family." He said, thinking of something and laughing in a low voice, "This Tong Neihan shouldn't have eaten too many stalactites and gone crazy, right?" ”
Neihan, that is, the bachelor of the internal system of Hanlin, the son of heaven and the minister, drafted the edict.
Han Yuanchao naturally knows the Tao of the Devil, and he also knows the Tao of the Tropite, because the elders in the family also take it.
But it's not something everyone can afford.
The golden stone pill has always been enjoyed by the rich and noble.
"Three thousand taels of stalactites." The old man shook his head and walked away. (Note 1)
This is not an uncommon thing in the capital.
Han Yuanchao and his companion glanced at each other, smiled, and continued to walk.
The streets are back to people.
The galloping carriage stopped in front of a house, and four or five men were waiting anxiously at the door, rushing to stop before the carriage could stop.
"Lord Li, Lord Li." They shouted in a hurry.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and a child jumped down first, and then Imperial Doctor Li got out of the car tremblingly.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The greeter urged.
"No hurry, no hurry." Imperial Physician Li said.
The old man moved slowly, and the anxious people couldn't wait to pick him up and run, but this old man was a medical officer of the Hanlin Medical Bureau of the Taiyi Bureau, or a medical officer in a purple robe given by the Queen Mother, so he didn't dare to wait slowly.
The cry in the courtyard shook the sky.
"What are you crying about, don't be discouraged!" A man rushed to the room and shouted.
The maid in the courtyard was busy covering her mouth.
Imperial Physician Li walked into the house, and the woman in the room couldn't avoid it.
"Master Li, let's see what's wrong with him, master?" Tong Neihan's wife said with tears in her eyes and led her inside.
Imperial Physician Li walked into the room, and a man with a white face and a fat body nearly fifty years old was lying on his back on the couch, trembling all over, his eyes were closed, and he let out a hoarse cry.
Imperial Physician Li didn't come closer, looked around directly, and sure enough, he saw a brocade box on the low table on the side, and a porcelain vase was upside down.
"Stalactites again?" He said.
"yes, new to the south." Mrs. Tong said, wiping away her tears, "It's good, just a few days after eating, it suddenly happened." ”
Imperial Physician Li snorted.
"Didn't I say that it was better for adults not to eat this thing?" He said.
"My lord, my lord's leg is sick, and it only works after eating this. If you don't eat it. I can't go. Mrs. Tong said with tears in her eyes.
Imperial Physician Li shook his head. looked at Tong Neihan, who was still screaming hoarsely on the bed.
The child opened the medicine box and handed it over, and Imperial Physician Li picked up a golden needle from it, knelt in front of the couch, pressed Tong Neihan's head with one hand, dropped the needle with the other, and pierced it into the hair.
The roar in the room died down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor." There was a low sigh of admiration outside.
"What kind of miracle doctor am I?" Imperial Physician Li muttered and stood up. looked at Tong Neihan who was trembling on the couch.
"Adults are modest, adults are modest." Mrs. Tong hurriedly wiped away her tears and said.
The sons on the side were also busy giving salutes and thanking them.
"Don't thank you, let's get ready for the future." Imperial Physician Li said.
The words made the people in the room gasp and look horrified.
"Your Excellency!"
There was chaos in the house.
"I can't help it, but use a needle to make him walk decently, or it's really ...... to scream and die." Imperial Physician Li shook his head and said, he had seen too much of this reaction to life and death, and he didn't feel anything anymore, while beckoning to Xiao Tong, "Either you go and ask other doctors to take a look." ”
The doctors at the Tai Medical Bureau all said that there was no help. Where else can I get a doctor?
Everyone in the Tong family suddenly turned to ashes.
Since my father is really hopeless, the funeral is important. There can be no errands, the sons of the Tong family immediately rushed to invite their elders, or send letters to their brothers in other places, and the sad atmosphere was diluted by the busyness.
When the women outside heard the news, they began to weep again.
"Oh my God, sister, what are we going to do?" Several beautiful concubines in their twenties hugged each other and trembled.
Tong Neihan is here, these beauties have no worries about food and clothing, if Tong Neihan is gone, they are nothing at home.
Mrs. Tong will inevitably sell them or give them away.
The giver is fine, but a few of them who have children are reluctant to separate.
I couldn't control my crying all of a sudden.
The lord is going to die, the lord is going to die, and he can't be cured......
Suddenly, a beautiful concubine raised her head suddenly.
"You guys, have you heard?" She said in a trembling voice.
"When has this been, and what gossip are you still thinking about?" A maid cried, "Don't worry about others yet, we can't protect ourselves when we cross the river by ourselves." ”
"No, no, there is a man, there is a man who says that the mortal will die!" The beautiful concubine said, "Then, the master is now a mortal person, and then he can be cured." ”
Everyone was crying, and they were muttering behind them, and soon they were all looking at each other.
"Say what? What mortal man will die? ”
The beautiful concubine looked into the room and bit her lower lip.
"Madame, ma'am." She got up and shouted, crying and threw herself in, "Invite someone to show the master." ”
The relatives and elders in the house who were discussing the funeral were startled, and they were even more annoyed when they saw that it was a concubine.
"Madam, madam, that Cheng Niangzi who met the immortals." The beautiful concubine hurriedly said before she was dragged out, "Cheng Niangzi, who cured the old lady of Chen Xianggong's family, came from Jiangzhou, Li Daozu Li Shenxian Zhenren's apprentice, she can cure it, she said that she can only treat those who will die!" ”
These rumors were also heard by the Tong family, but they didn't take it seriously.
"What a mess." Mrs. Tong cried, knelt down in front of the couch, and helped her husband, who was breathing more and exhaling less, to cry and cry.
"Madame, ma'am, it's really, it's all over the outside, ma'am, go try it." The concubine also cried, and kowtowed on the ground, "Madam, try it again for the master, you don't want the master to die like this, someone can cure it, why don't you try it!" ”
Anyway, the old man died, and she didn't end well, even if this angered the lady, it wouldn't be a big deal, if the old man was really cured, not only would he be rich and secure, but he would also be considered to have made a great contribution.
These words really made Mrs. Tong furious, and her sons were even more depressed.
"." They shouted, "Come on, go out." ”
"Madam, madam, it's really Cheng Niangzi who meets immortals, no one else can be cured, she said that only people who are about to die can be cured, please Madam, show the master, let the master see it, it can be regarded as dedication." The beautiful concubine shouted, jumped forward and hugged Mrs. Tong's legs, "If the master is gone, we won't have a good life, San Lang, Shiro, but we don't have any shade..."
These words made the faces of several men in the room a little dull.
Tong Neihan's identity is naturally enough for his children and grandchildren to make up for it, but he can only make up for his eldest son, and the other sons either rely on studying for the imperial examination or just waiting for their father to get credit again.
Although Tong Neihan is said to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, after all, it is not the kind of position that can get credit at will, so the only way is to boil up the qualifications, so that if the next sons fail in the imperial examination, they can make up for it.
If he dies like this, the future of his children and grandchildren will naturally be better than that of his father.
"That Cheng Niangzi, can it really be cured?" A son asked.
The beautiful concubine was overjoyed and kowtowed.
"Please give it a try." She cried.
The son looked at the others.
"Then go and please." The older man made a decision and said.
"Wait." Madame Tong shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, the beautiful concubine suddenly cried again, and the sons hesitated to persuade them.
"That lady, there are rules for seeing a doctor, and people don't come to the door to consult." Mrs. Tong cried, stretched out her hand and patted the couch, "Carry your father quickly!" ”
