Chapter 19: Rejuvenation of the Hands
I don't know who is talking, Shen Ruyi made a big fuss and heard the news of Yuxuan spread, and Xia Xue'er's attitude towards this matter was also spread, and it became a topic of conversation for many people after tea and dinner, which aroused heated discussions in the house. The praisers said that she was benevolent, compassionate, and filial piety, and the sighers said that she was indecisive and indecisive. But no matter what people say about her, what is noncommittal is that after the murder of her concubine, Shen Ruyi was once again pushed to the forefront, and her reputation was repeatedly degraded, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to live a high-spirited life in this Xia Mansion that values courtesy, righteousness and shame.
That night, Xia Xueer was writing a letter, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the corridor, and listened carefully, it was from the direction of Westinghouse, and she was shocked, could it be that something happened to Cuizhu? Just as he was worried, there was a quick knock on the door, accompanied by Dongmei's slightly crying voice: "Miss, are you asleep?" Big things are wrong! ”
After hearing this, Xia Xue'er hurriedly put down the brush in her hand and ordered at the door: "What's wrong, come in and say!" ”
Dongmei pushed open the door, hurriedly ran into the back room, looked at Xia Xue'er with teary eyes and said: "Cuizhu, she has a terrible fever, her whole body is as hot as a fire, I can't wake her up no matter how I call it, miss, what can I do!" ”
Xia Xue'er put on her coat and said, "Don't worry, go and invite Lang Zhong to come into the mansion to take a look!" ”
Dongmei's anxious heart did not decrease by half a point, and she cried and said: "But now that it is late at night, the medical hall has already closed, I am afraid that I will not be able to invite Lang Zhong to enter the mansion to treat Cuizhu!" ”
Xia Xue'er had already stepped out of the door with her front feet, and when she heard Dongmei say this, she replied anxiously and angrily: "How do you know if you can't ask if you haven't gone yet?" When the hospital is closed, then go and knock on the door, how can the doctor's parents not save them when they see death! ”
Dongmei was still unmoved, and followed Xia Xue'er at a loss and said: "But Lang Zhong also divides people to see a doctor, a humble slave like us will not come to Lang Zhong willing to come at night!" ”
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er suddenly stopped, thinking that what Dongmei said was not unreasonable, she is now in an era where there is a clear distinction between dignity and inferiority, and the hierarchy is clear, even if it is a doctor, how many can treat everyone equally?
I saw Xia Xue'er turn around and walk quickly into the bedroom, take out a jade pendant from the mezzanine of a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship on the dresser, hesitate for a few seconds, and then hand it to Dongmei and instructed: "You take this jade pendant to the west gate to find Xiao Wu now, and let him drive you to the west of the city to invite Dr. Zhang from the Rende Medical Center into the house, I heard that Dr. Zhang is not only superb in medical skills but also has an excellent heart, and he will never die without help, go quickly!" ”
Dongmei took the jade pendant and looked at it, the tentacles warmed up, it was a rare warm jade, a flying phoenix was carved in the middle, the whole body was transparent, there was nothing special except that it was a treasure of great value, and it was found that there were two small seal characters engraved in the corners of the "Netherworld". She had never seen Miss take out this jade pendant before, but looking at Miss Fangcai's expression when she looked at the jade pendant, it seemed that she had a different kind of emotion for this jade pendant. So Dongmei hesitated and asked: "Why doesn't Miss take other things as a reward, I want to give him such a valuable jade pendant, and besides, now that the time has passed, in the dead of night, will Doctor Zhang come?" ”
Xia Xue'er frowned, Cuizhu's life and death are unpredictable now, and Dongmei, this little girl, still has the leisure to care about these!
Although this jade pendant looks inconspicuous on the surface, it is a treasure that is one in a million, and it is a representative identity that only the core disciples of the Netherworld Valley can wear, Xia Xue'er does not want to use this thing as a reward to Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhang is the eldest disciple of the third uncle, specially came to take care of her body on the order of the master, and came to help her, as long as Dr. Zhang saw this jade pendant, he would follow Dongmei back to the house anyway! After all, there are some things that the less you know, the safer, not to mention that these things can't be said, and even if she does, she can't understand them. So Xia Xue'er didn't explain to Dongmei, she just pretended to be angry and said: "What so much nonsense!" Regardless of whether he will come or not, you just go according to my instructions, and if you delay, Cuizhu is afraid that it will be more than lucky! ”
Although Dongmei still had doubts in her heart after hearing this, she didn't dare to slack off, she turned around with the jade pendant and ran out of Tingyuxuan, Xia Xue'er also went out to the West House after Dongmei left, Xianglan and Qiu Ju are not in the house today, and Cuizhu can't be left without anyone to take care of them.
Opened the tent, a wave of heat came to the face, Cuizhu was really hot, the original pale little face was already burned red, and he had begun to talk nonsense in a daze. Xia Xue'er saw that this was far beyond her expectations, and her heart instantly rose to her throat. Worst! It must have been caused by Shen Ruyi's whipping in the afternoon, if there are antibiotics that can be used in modern times, this ancient Chinese herbal medicine is afraid that it is difficult to cure due to its limited medicinal power! Seeing that Cuizhu is now in a deep coma but still in pain, Xia Xue'er's anger towards Shen Ruyi is also surging like this heat wave. She could only wipe her body with a cold towel constantly, and after changing several basins of water, Dongmei led Dr. Zhang to hurry over.
After Dr. Zhang entered the door, he first saluted Xia Xue'er: "I've seen the third lady." ”
Xia Xue'er hurriedly got up and helped Dr. Zhang up, and said, "Dr. Zhang doesn't have to be polite, disturbing in the middle of the night, it's really life-threatening, and please ask Dr. Zhang to hurry up and see how my little girl is doing!" ”
Doctor Zhang put down the medical box and stepped forward to check the pulse, checked it carefully, and then wrote a prescription and handed it to Dongmei and said, "Girl, go and grab the medicine according to the prescription, and boil it for half an hour over medium heat." ”
Xia Xue'er instructed Dongmei: "It's late at night, you don't have to waste time and effort to go out of the house, the key to the medicine pavilion is in Miss Shuang'er, you quietly go to the old lady's courtyard to find Shuang'er, tell her to hear that Yuxuan needs some medicinal materials temporarily, and let her take you to the medicine pavilion in the mansion to grab medicine." Remember, don't alarm the old lady! ”
Watching Dongmei walk away, Xia Xue'er turned her head to look at Dr. Zhang, and said apologetically: "I shouldn't have disturbed my senior brother late at night, but it happened suddenly, and Xue'er had nothing to do before she rashly invited her senior brother into the mansion, and asked senior brother not to blame." ”
Doctor Zhang smiled and soothed: "Senior sister's words are outside, now that the time has passed, which doctor besides me is willing to enter the house to treat Miss Cui?" As long as I don't alarm the rest of the house, my entry into the house today will not have any adverse impact on you and me. ”
Xia Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but she remembered that Senior Brother Fang Cai's expression was heavy and nervous when she diagnosed Cuizhu's pulse, and hurriedly asked, "How is Cuizhu's situation?" ”
Dr. Zhang replied with a solemn expression: "Wound infection is not a serious disease, but the inflammation of multiple wounds in the body has aggravated the condition, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
Seeing that Xia Xue'er was so nervous that her two eyebrows were tangled together, Dr. Zhang pretended to smile lightly and said, "But you don't have to worry, Senior Brother has the name of a miracle doctor, if this little problem can't be solved, how can the valley master rest assured that only I will take care of your body!" ”
Xia Xue'er completely relaxed after hearing this, lifted the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Dr. Zhang: "There is no good tea in the Cuizhu room, senior brother will drink some to quench your thirst first." ”
Dr. Zhang took the cup, did not show half disgust, raised his head and drank it all.
"Miss Cui's illness is easy to cure, and it is not difficult to heal if you drink medicine on time and take care of her, but yours is different, how has it improved recently?"
Xia Xue'er wilted when she heard this, and replied with a sad sigh: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, more than three months have passed, and I haven't made any progress at all!" ”
After hearing this, Dr. Zhang frowned, shook his head and said to himself, "It shouldn't be like this." After thinking about the effort of touching a cup of tea, he looked up and asked Xia Xue'er, "Is there anything wrong with my junior sister recently?" ”
Xia Xue'er asked with a puzzled expression, "What does Senior Brother mean?" ”
Dr. Zhang patiently explained: "For example, it is not easy to get tired, sleep is shallow, and ear strength is better? ”
Xia Xue'er thought about it carefully and said: "Listening to my senior brother say this, it seems to be true, I always thought that it was because it was difficult to fall asleep in the cold weather in winter, and sometimes the sound could be heard from a hundred meters away, I thought it was because I suddenly stayed away from the noise and calmed down." ”
Dr. Zhang pulled Xia Xue'er's arm to check the pulse, and after carefully checking the exercises, he suddenly laughed, and only after laughing did he look at Xia Xue'er with a puzzled look and comforted: "Senior sister don't have to be anxious, the hard work pays off, it seems that there is no progress, but in fact the progress is great, as long as you continue to practice diligently according to the instructions of the master, you will succeed in a few days!" ”
Xia Xue'er was naturally very happy after hearing this, and she was immediately full of confidence. It's really the emperor who lives up to his wishes, and the hard work of so many days has finally paid off.
Xia Xue'er glanced at the sky and said, "It's already late at night, I'll ask Dongmei to clean up the East House in a while, senior brother will be here tonight, okay?" ”
"Don't bother my sister, my master sent a message to say that I have something to do, so I will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back within ten days and a half months, if my sister encounters something and has any confusion, I can let Xianglan go to the valley to find my uncle, and my uncle will definitely find a way to help my sister solve the problem."
"Will Senior Brother go back to the Netherworld Valley tomorrow?"
"I want to go there, and my master instructed me to go to the valley lord to get an object first."
"In that case, there is something that my junior sister wants to ask my senior brother for help, but I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
"Senior sister, but it doesn't hurt to say it, senior brother is here."
Xia Xue'er smiled slightly before she spoke: "That's the case, a few days ago I asked Xianglan to go out to do something, the day before yesterday she sent a letter saying that there was something in the valley to delay the time to return home, I want to ask my senior brother to help me bring a letter to her, just because the content is important, the flying pigeon is afraid of any accidents on the road, and I only trust the senior brother in the people around me, so please ask the senior brother to help me." ”
"It's a trivial matter, my sister just give me the letter."
"That's okay, senior brother will drink tea first, and I'll go get it." After Xia Xue'er finished speaking, she went back to the house, sealed the written letter, handed it to Dr. Zhang, and instructed: "Senior brother, be careful in everything!" At this time, Dongmei brought the medicine bowl into the house, Xia Xue'er got up and took the medicine bowl and said to Dongmei: "Hello, send Dr. Zhang out of the house." ”
Doctor Zhang saluted Xia Xue'er and said, "Third Miss, farewell!" Then he withdrew from the door with Dongmei.
After Cuizhu drank the medicine, the situation improved, and the fever completely subsided after three hours, Dongmei was overjoyed and cheered: "This doctor is really a miracle doctor, the medicine is gone, and Cuizhu is no longer burning!" I couldn't hear Xia Xue'er's echo, turned my head and saw her sitting at the table with a thoughtful look, and shouted, "Miss? Miss! Seeing that Xia Xue'er didn't react, she stepped forward and gently pushed her. Xia Xue'er was frightened by this sudden movement, and stood up nervously and asked, "What's wrong with Cuizhu?" ”
Dongmei replied with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, Cuizhu's fever has subsided!" ”
Xia Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, if you retreat, it means that you're almost good." ”
Dongmei looked at Xia Xue'er with a worried look, thinking that she was tired, so she said: "Miss has also stayed up for so long, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, there are slaves and maids guarding here, although rest assured." ”
Xia Xue'er thought about it for a while, and now that the burning of Cuizhu has subsided, people don't talk nonsense anymore, it's good to talk unexpectedly, and it doesn't play a role to stay here, but it makes her feel guilty when she wakes up.
"Okay, I'll go back to the house first, come and tell me if there's anything in time." When he walked to the door, he turned back and instructed, "Don't mention tonight's events to outsiders, don't ask why." "Then leave with confidence.
She was quietly waiting for what kind of news Xianglan would bring back to her.
