Just two days after the old lady's birthday, something happened in the house.

First of all, the Yin family found that the account books in the mansion in the past few days were wrong, and they lost thousands of taels of silver for no reason.

Then the second master, Su Yang, forcibly occupied the concubine room of the boss Hubu squire, and also bought a house for the concubine outside, and raised it for several months. Now that he was discovered by the Tobe Squire, the Tobe Squire was furious and wanted to kill the concubine as a fugitive concubine.

But the concubine has been pregnant for two months, Su Yang's heirs are thin, and the only son, Su Yi, is not a child, so he naturally values this unborn child very much, and only hopes that it will be a son.

Su Yang pleaded with the household servant and bypassed the concubine's life, but the household servant refused to agree, and the matter came to the old lady.

At the same time, Yin found out that the account book was manipulated by the people in the second room. It turned out that since Yin's deduction of the second room for two months, the life of the second room has become more and more difficult, so Guo came up with an idea, falsified in the account book, and secretly took the silver from the treasury. I thought that I could hide from the world, but I didn't want the Yin family to look at the accounts so carefully, and found out the clues within a few days.

Now that the matter has been poked out, Guo Shi not only did not reflect on his own actions, but first blamed Su Yangyang's outer room.

The two quarreled in the upper room, and the old lady was so angry that she had a stroke again. For a while, there was a mess in the upper room, and the Yin family hurriedly invited Doctor Hao, and the old lady Su knocked on the dragon's head and scolded the second master and the second lady directly, but she was not relieved, raised the cane and hit Su Yang fiercely, and said: "Bastard, the old lady's face is all lost to you." If anything happens to the old lady, our Su family should have never raised your son! ”

The second old man knew that he was wrong, and knelt in front of the old lady without making a sound.

"And you." The old lady pointed at Guo Shi and said, "Did the Su family shorten your food or drink, and let you steal it from your own house?" As a mother of three children, you don't raise them well, and your heart is not right, how can my Su family provoke a daughter-in-law like you? ”

The old lady was so angry this time, and what she didn't say before because of her feelings was scolded today.

Guo's face turned pale, and he said unconvincedly: "Sister Rong and Sister Yun are going to get married, the cost of the second room is large, and the lord's monthly salary is not much, but the sister-in-law deducts the monthly case of the second room, and the daughter-in-law has no way to ......."

The old lady said angrily, "You shut up for me." ”

After a while, Dr. Hao came, and the old lady thought that the two of them were an eyesore here, so she asked them to go to the ancestral hall and kneel.

Yin gave the old lady a good breath and said worriedly: "Mother, you dissipate your anger." Daddy is angry, what if something happens to you again? ”

The old lady eased up for a long time, but still did not ease up, and when she thought of the second room, she was angry, "The family is unfortunate...... It's really a family misfortune. ”

At this end, Doctor Hao checked the old lady's pulse, looked at his face again, and after a long time, he shook his head solemnly, and said: "The old general has a stroke this time that is much stricter than last time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to treat, and I am afraid that I will worry about my life." I don't dare to jump to conclusions, I'll wait for the old general to wake up and then look at it. ”

The old lady came in from outside, and just when she heard this, her hand holding Yin's was soft, and her eyes were closed.

Yin panicked: "Mother! ”

The eldest lord Su Zhenyuan was outside the gate, and the two old men fell ill again, and the basket poked out of the second room had not yet been solved, and the household department was still waiting for an explanation. The Yin family was so busy that he couldn't wait to break one person into several people, but at the end of the day, the whole person seemed to be haggard.

*

Su Xi heard about going to the room, and when he came back from the clan study, he rushed to Qiutangju without changing his clothes, and when he entered the house, he saw that the Yin family was tired and half-lying on the makeup flower pillow, with a towel on his forehead, and his face was very pale. She was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yin slowly sat up from the couch and comforted her: "Mother is fine, but I'm too tired, lie down and rest for a while." ”

Su Xi said: "What happened to my grandfather and grandmother, what happened today?" She only listened to the general situation, but didn't know the specifics.

Yin told her in detail about today's events.

Su Xi listened and was silent for a long time. In his previous life, without Su Lingyun's experience, the Yin family had not deducted the second room monthly case, and the Guo family had not changed the account books of the treasury without authorization. What's more, she remembered that her grandfather had only had a stroke once in her previous life, that is, when she was ten years old, and then her grandfather's body and bones gradually improved, and there was no major problem, that is, when he died, he was still alive and well. So she didn't expect her grandfather to have another stroke, and it sounded even harsher than the last time.

In Su Xi's heart, the old lady is a good grandfather. He was majestic and unsmiling to his three sons, but he was very amiable to his grandchildren, especially to himself, which can almost be called doting.

The grandfathers of other families like their grandchildren, maybe there are too few girls in the Su family, and Mrs. Su only likes her granddaughter. When Su Xi was a child, she was bullied by several brothers in the second and third rooms, and the old lady protected her behind her, holding a stick, and taught her a lesson for Su Yi and Su Zhen's naughty male dolls.

Now that he heard that the old lady had been hit by two strokes in a row, Su Xi was both worried and uneasy, "Has Grandfather woken up?" Mother, I want to go see my grandfather. ”

Yin said: "Right now, your third aunt is waiting in front of you, and Dr. Hao is also giving needles to the old lady, if the old lady wakes up, she will send someone to sue us." Don't go and make trouble, I'll take you there tomorrow morning. ”

Although Su Xi was worried, she had no choice but to agree.

Early the next morning, Su Xi and Yin went to the upper room.

Although the old lady woke up, he was not very conscious, and he couldn't speak, and the third lady Yu fed him medicine, and he couldn't eat it. In the end, it was Dr. Hao who ordered someone to bring a bamboo pipe, so he reluctantly fed the old lady to drink the medicine.

The old lady cried on the side, "What kind of evil ...... has been created?"

Su Xi stood at the head of the bed and looked at the old lady who couldn't move, her nose was sore, and tears flowed down. She knelt on the bed, held the old lady's hand and called "grandfather" several times, but the old lady did not respond.

After a long time, the old lady raised her right hand with difficulty, raised it in front of her, and wiped the tears from her face.

Su Xi was stunned for a moment, and then cried even more fiercely.

Su Xi always thought that the old lady was still strong, but the last time the old lady had a stroke, she was not so worried, because she knew that the old lady would definitely get better. But this time, she was not sure, even Dr. Hao couldn't say, and the old lady looked like this, which really frightened her. She lay on the head of the bed and cried for a long time, and finally cried so that her eyes were red and swollen. Yin was worried that she would cry her eyes, so Su Li took her back to the flower open-air incense.

After a few days, the old lady's condition still did not improve.

When the head of the household heard about the old lady, he read it in the old lady's face, and he no longer cared about running away from the concubine.

It's just that in this way, most of the idle jobs of the second master Su Yang hanging in the household department cannot be kept.

But in this situation, who has the time to take care of the affairs of the second room? The old lady wished that she had never raised this evil seed, and it was better than being by him.

In the past few days, the second master has always wanted to see the old lady, but he was stopped by the old lady, but he was afraid that the old lady would not only be bad when he saw him, but would aggravate his condition. The old lady punished him and Guo to kneel in the ancestral hall, kneeling for three whole days, not allowing them to drink a drop of water, and after three days, Guo couldn't bear it and fainted, but the old lady did not allow anyone to look at her.

Even if the old lady doesn't say it, no one wants to go to the second room in the big room and the third room.

*

The old lady couldn't eat for several days, and Su Xi was anxious when he watched from the sidelines.

Doctor Hao was also helpless, and tried several methods, but he couldn't feed it into the old lady's stomach. In just a few days, the old man who was in good spirits and strong in the past has lost a whole circle, and he is like two people before.

Su Xi couldn't watch the old lady get sick, she heard that the doctor in the Rejuvenation Hall of Dongdajie had excellent medical skills, and she told the Yin family this day, so she went to the Rejuvenation Hall to ask for a doctor in person.

Arriving at the door of the Rejuvenation Hall, Su Xi took Tingyan's hand and hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked towards the medical hall.

Probably too anxious, just when a person walked out of it, Su Xi was caught off guard, almost bumped into it, and hurriedly took two steps back.

"Nine girls?" The other party was surprised.

Su Xi raised his eyes, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Jianghuai here. She called "Brother Lu", didn't say much, only said that she had something to do, and walked into the hospital anxiously.

Su Xi asked the little boy who grabbed the medicine: "Is Dr. Chang in the museum?" ”

The little boy said, "Master has gone out to see a doctor, and he will come back in a few days." ”

Su Xi was deeply shocked, and asked Dr. Chang where he went to see a doctor, and the little boy said: "Master has no fixed place for consultation, and wherever he goes, he will be there." ”

Su Xi returned in vain, so he had to go back to the general's mansion for the time being. When he walked out of the door of the medical hall, he saw that Lu Jianghuai was still outside the door, so he remembered and asked, "Why did Brother Lu come to the medical hall too?" ”

Lu Jianghuai said: "I was a little injured when I practiced martial arts, so I came here to pack some medicine." After finishing in an understated tone, seeing Su Xi's little face pale and tired, she remembered her panicked appearance just now, "What happened to the ninth girl?" Why are you in such a hurry to find a doctor? ”

Su Xi drooped his head, and his usual bright and bright eyes lost their brilliance, looking listless. She didn't hide it, but she didn't tell the truth completely, "My grandfather is sick at home, and I heard that Dr. Chang from Huichun Hall has good medical skills, so I want to ask Dr. Chang to diagnose my grandfather." Unexpectedly, it was not at the right time, and Dr. Chang went out to see a doctor. ”

Lu Jianghuai was shocked when he heard this, "A few days ago, Old Lady Su had her birthday, and she looked fine, why did she suddenly ......?"

Su Xi was silent, her eyes were red, but she didn't want to cry in front of outsiders, she lowered her head and blinked her eyes several times, and finally held back her tears. She said, "Brother Lu, I'll go back first." ”

"Nine girls, please wait." Lu Jianghuai couldn't see her crying, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "I know that the doctor of Baozhitang has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate and hang the pot to help the world, although I don't know what the condition of General Su is, but it must be no problem." Nine girls might as well try it with the doctor of Baozhitang. ”

Su Xi said: "Didn't Bao Zhitang retire to the apricot forest a few years ago? ”

Lu Jianghuai said: "Having said that, as long as someone can find this place, they will not stand idly by." ”

Su Xi paused for a moment, "I don't know where Baozhitang is......"

Lu Jianghuai looked at her, "Lu happens to know some clues, if the ninth girl does not object, Lu is willing to help the ninth girl find it together." ”

Su Xi groaned and bit his lower lip, not knowing whether to agree to Lu Jianghuai's kindness. On the one hand, she wanted her grandfather to recover as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she didn't want to trouble outsiders, but if she didn't ask Lu Jianghuai for help, she might not be able to find Baozhitang with her own ability......

Lu Jianghuai saw her embarrassment and said, "Ninth girl, please rest assured, only you know about this matter, Lu is tight-lipped and will not talk nonsense." ”

Su Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, "Then there is Brother Lao Lu." ”

Lu Jianghuai smiled, "Ninth girl is polite. ”

Su Xi got into the carriage, and Lu Jianghuai rode a horse to lead the way, and after a while, he went out of the city gate.

Lu Jianghuai said that Baozhitang is about north of Qingshui Mountain, not very far from the capital, and it can be reached in half a day, and if you are lucky, you can find it today. The carriage drove out of the moat, and Su Xi sat in the carriage, pinching his palms, thinking about the old lady's illness, hoping that he could find Baozhitang and cure his grandfather's illness today.

After the carriage walked for a quarter of an hour, Lu Jianghuai saw a pair of people and horses coming towards him, about a dozen or so people. The other party is well-dressed and heroic, and at first glance, they are all people who practice martial arts. Especially the one at the front, the wind vane is clean, rich and beautiful, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person from a distance.

Lu Jianghuai let the carriage drive to the side and give way to the other party.

When the other party drove to him, Lu Jianghuai saw that the person who came was Wei Feng, the prince of the King of Jin.

Lu Jianghuai clasped his fists at him and saluted.

Wei Feng rode his horse past, glanced at him sideways, his eyes were calm, not alarmed, only slightly bowed, and rode away.

Lu Jianghuai clamped the horse's belly and said to the coachman: "Keep walking." ”

The coachman raised his whip again.

At this end, after Wei Feng walked out of a distance, his mind suddenly swept over the carriage that he had just seen, his eyebrows frowned, and before the others came to their senses, he tightened the reins violently - stopped.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also tightened their reins, "Lord Shizi, what happened, why did you stop?" ”

Wei Feng didn't explain, and immediately turned the horse's head and chased after the carriage behind him.

Leaving more than a dozen people looking at each other, I don't understand what happened to the prince, I was in a hurry to go back to the capital just now, and now there is still a way to go back to the capital, why did I rush back?

Wei Feng frowned slightly, and after a while, he caught up with the carriage in front.

He blocked Lu Jianghuai's way, his eyes fell on the carriage behind Lu Jianghuai, and his voice was cold and clear: "Stop." ”
