Chapter 180: Pingyang Houfu
Rong Xi felt that the two masters and servants were really freaks, and they took the murderous filial piety to other places without looking back.
"Childe," Xiao'er sniffled, "It's so fragrant......"
As she spoke, she looked at a restaurant on the side of the road, her eyes shining with the light of a gluttonous worm.
Rong Xi also felt a little hungry, looked at Xiao'er, who was possessed by a starving ghost, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you to a big meal." ”
"Okay, okay." Xiao'er's head nodded quickly.
The two of them entered the restaurant, picked a seat by the window, asked for a few signature dishes, and ate slowly.
Xiao'er hasn't eaten in the restaurant yet, she feels fresh, everything she eats is delicious, and she doesn't forget to look around and look at the street scene.
Rong Xi looked at her face that was still excited just now and suddenly collapsed, and couldn't help but look for her gaze, only to see that the thirty-eight beautiful man with a few guards appeared in the field of vision again.
The ghost is not gone, this is Rong Xi's first thought.
The thirty-eight beautiful man looked at Rong Xi, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked over quickly and said, "Oh, what a coincidence." ”
Rong Xi rolled his eyes, is it a real coincidence or a fake coincidence?
In the next few days, except when Rong Xi was sleeping, whenever he inadvertently looked out of the window, he could see three or eight beautiful men.
Rong Xi almost wondered if this guy didn't have to do anything, and he was making a fuss there all day, causing a significant increase in the number of female patients in front of his medical hall, and there were more people seeing him than seeing a doctor.
"Doctor! Doctor! Rong Xi had just finished writing a prescription when he heard a rush of shouting outside.
Before the guy could stop the comer, the man crashed in and threw himself in front of Rong Xi's table, "Doctor-help......
Rong Xi looked at the visitor, this is an old man over fifty years old, his hair and beard are a little gray, beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, his hair is tied into strands, his beard is also trembling slightly because of excitement, his fingers are clean, he grasps the edge of the table tightly, and his eyes are full of eagerness.
"What's the matter, speak slowly." Rong Xi looked at Xiao'er and motioned for her to help the old man up.
"Doctor, save our girl." The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Where?" Rong Xi said as he said to Li Haijiang: "Old Li, pack up your things." ”
A vermilion shadow floated over the window, "Do you want to help?" ”
"No, thank you." Rong Xitou didn't raise his head, and Xiao'er closed the window with a "snap".
The old man led the way, Rong Xi asked the guy to deal with the patients behind, and followed the old man to take Li Haijiang and Xiao'er to see the patients together.
The carriage stopped in front of a high-gate compound, Rong Xi now had a headache when he saw the door of the mansion, the old man had already stepped out of the carriage first, and said eagerly: "Doctor, please." ”
Rong Xi hesitated slightly, why did she come, there was no reason to refuse, she looked up at the plaque on the door, which had four big characters written on it: "Pingyang Houfu".
Rong Xi was slightly surprised, Pingyang Houfu, it is said that this should be the home of the waiting master, but why does it look a little dilapidated? Although it was cleaned, it could still be seen in many details, such as a few copper nails falling off the door and a few cracks on one of the claws of the stone lion at the door.
Li Haijiang looked at the plaque, was slightly stunned, and then said with some excitement: "Excuse me, here...... Is it the home of Pingyang Hou, who won the famous Battle of Jindong twenty years ago? ”
"Exactly." The old man nodded.
"That'...... That...... The girl you're talking about is ......"
"It's the only daughter of Pingyang Hou," the old man's eyes darkened slightly, "After the old Hou Ye died, this Hou Mansion was left to the girl, and she is now the female daughter of Pingyang Hou Mansion." ”
"Oh, I see," Li Haijiang's expression was also a little sad, "Pingyang is loyal to the martyrs, but he doesn't want to ...... Went so early. ”
"Yes," the old man said as he led the way, "It is not easy for our eldest girl to support this family, and the aunt who recruited her is ...... Alas, you better show it, the girl's illness this time is really not light. ”
Rong Xi listened to the conversation between the two of them, and she also roughly understood, she saw Li Haijiang's slightly regretful and sympathetic gaze, and nodded slightly at him.
The old man took them to a small courtyard and shouted at the house, and a grandmother came out of the house, also with a face full of eagerness, and when she saw the old man, her expression eased slightly, "Manager Liu, you are finally back, and the girl is uncomfortable to death." ”
"The doctor is here, come on, please let the doctor in."
Mama saluted Rong Xi, "Please come with the old slave." ”
As soon as Rong Xi walked into the room, he smelled a smell of medicine, the lights in the room were dim, the furniture in the hazy light looked even more old, and the porcelain furnishings on the table were also out of fashion, and they had already lost their former brilliance in the dim light and shadow.
One of the people on the bed coughed a few times, and Mama walked over quickly and helped the man away: "Girl, the doctor is here, and he will be fine soon......"
The man smiled lightly, and his face looked even paler as paper, "Is there any cure for my disease?" ”
"What did the girl say?" Mama's voice choked, "It's going to get better." ”
The girl sighed, stopped talking, and leaned on her grandmother's shoulder with her eyes slightly closed, like a fragile autumn butterfly, which made people feel pity.
"Doctor, excuse me...... Let's show our girl, our girl is suffering from this disease. Mama's eyes were red, and she gently held the girl's hand, which was so thin that it showed cyan tendons, which was shocking to see.
Rong Xi walked over, first carefully looked at the girl's face, her face was pale, without the slightest anger, carefully looked at the eyebrows There is a trace of blue and black, her hand skin is also a lot, there is no blood, there are faint ribs on the nails, which also reveal blue and black.
Rong Xi's eyebrows jumped, and she didn't need to cut her pulse, she could also see that this girl's illness was not a disease, but poisoning.
She sat down slowly, the silk cloth on the girl's wrist, and sure enough, the pulse confirmed her suspicion, and she withdrew her hand and folded the silk cloth one by one, as if folding her own heart.
"Doctor, how's it going?" Mama couldn't help but ask.
Rong Xi didn't speak, she didn't know how to speak, this girl was different from Aunt Pei, whether it was her face or pulse, it proved that her poisoning was not an overnight thing, but at least more than two years, and the amount of poison each time was not large, and it was devouring her health little by little, who was it? Poisonous with such a deep heart?
"Doctor, I'm sick and incurable, right?" The girl slowly opened her eyes and asked weakly, a faint smile on her lips.
Rong Xi didn't answer her question, but turned her gaze to Mama, "Excuse me, who is responsible for your girl's diet?" ”
"Yes...... The kitchenette in the yard, Fuchu...... Now it is not as good as before, when the old man was there, he bought this independent small kitchen for the girl, and now no matter how difficult it is, this small kitchen has been retained. Mama replied.
"So, what has happened in the past two years?" Rong Xi slowed down, "What I'm talking about is these two years. ”
"These two years......" Mama was a little strange about Rong Xi's question, but she looked at Rong Xi's stern face, and couldn't help but think about her question, "Oh, I remember, the current cook is new two years ago, the previous cook was not clean hands and feet, my aunt was very angry, so I found a reliable person from my hometown." ”
"Women?" Rong Xi sneered in his heart.
"Yes," Mama nodded.
"A good-looking woman?" Rong Xi asked again.
"How do you know?" Mama asked in surprise, but Rong Xi just smiled and didn't speak, looking at her smile, the mama's mind exploded, she suddenly thought of something, holding the girl's hand shook slightly, and her voice trembled a little, "You...... You mean......"
Rong Xi knew that with this grandmother's experience, she could naturally understand what she suddenly asked about what these represented, and judging by her reaction, she had obviously thought of it.
The girl's eyes also widened instantly, the light under her eyes brightened, her breathing was a little short, her hand grasped Mama's hand tightly, the bones and green tendons in her hand were more obvious, she didn't say anything, but the grief in her eyes swallowed people like a tidal wave.
Rong Xi closed his eyes slightly, "There is no evidence in this matter, and it can't just rely on suspicion, if you two can trust me, I will leave you something, melt it in a small bowl with warm water before eating, and then pass all the things in the mouth in this warm water, and you will see which thing is not clean." ”
Her voice was low, and she suddenly remembered the last blow that forced her to leave Ning Wang's Mansion and leave Leng Yixiu, that is, because of the smallpox powder mixed in the soup, people's hearts are calculating, everywhere, and you can only step forward step by step.
"Okay." For a long time, the girl's voice was weak, but unusually firm.
Xiao'er looked at Rong Xi's back sitting there, looked at her thin shoulders, and couldn't help but sour her nose.
The 38 beautiful man who followed all the way on the roof suddenly felt a little sullen in his heart, as if he was stuck in his throat, he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he felt that when he heard Rong Xi's tone, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he always felt that her words carried infinite loneliness and helplessness, as well as a faint pain, like a tough silk thread, which was finely and densely wound around the tip of his heart.
Rong Xi opened the prescription, handed it to Mama and said, "Take it according to this prescription, pay twice a day, and then go to me to change the prescription after ten days, and you can remove it within a month." ”
"Thank you, doctor," Mama cried with joy, and she saluted Rong Xi vigorously.
Rong Xi took out a bag of things from his sleeve and slowly handed it to her, "Pick a little bit each time, don't need more, if you can't get it right, say let the old housekeeper show it to me." ”
