Xia Shaoyuan was at odds with the old imperial doctors, and finally had to consult Xia Xiangguo, who meant that since he had suspected poisoning, he would find out first.

This is naturally the safest method, but Xia Xiangguo, who was originally anxious, couldn't wait for the imperial doctor to slowly find out the cause of the disease, so he couldn't wait to force the imperial doctor to write a prescription immediately, and if he drank the medicine jade bead, he would get better immediately.

Today's Xia Xiangguo is no longer so concerned, so he is naturally able to make the most rational judgment, but Xia Shaoyuan is a little reckless because he is still in the dark.

It's just that this detailed investigation is not so fast, and Zhuyuan made a fuss all night, and in the end there is no conclusion. And those who have ghosts in their hearts can only continue to carry that heart and wait for the final result.

And on the side of Ruiyuan,

Maybe it's because I'm anxious, maybe it's because I'm old and can't stand it, in short, the next morning, the old lady who was supposed to go to Tiandu Mountain to incense can't get up.

Mrs. Xiangguo and Mrs. Xiangguo hurriedly came when they heard the news, Mrs. Xiangguo's maiden name is Guo, she is about forty years old, but she still looks like a woman in her thirties, wearing a lotus-colored gold silk soft smoke skirt, covered with a smoky gray gauze coat, and a simple style, but excellent jasper auspicious hairpin with excellent color on her head, which looks solemn and rich. A pair of clear and harmless gentle apricot eyes, looking forward to it, but faintly with a sharp edge.

Chu Feifei peeked at the side, and felt that it was no wonder that although Xia Xiangguo was in the phase, he only had one wife, and this time he saw that the means and bearing of this wife were all first-class.

Since the old lady was uncomfortable, everyone hurriedly invited the doctor to take a look. Now there is no shortage of imperial doctors in the prime minister's house, and immediately two old imperial doctors with a strong reputation came to diagnose the pulse of the old lady.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady couldn't go to the incense and pray for blessings in the Dushan Big Buddha Temple that day.

This is said to be a good Buddhist thing, but it is not said that it can be canceled, not to mention that the Prime Minister gave a large amount of incense and lamp oil to the masters of the Big Buddha Temple in advance, and booked a first-class meditation room, just said that the time of the salute in the hall, the time of the stay of the female dependents of the Prime Minister is set, and the first day of the new year is a big day of incense.

The old lady was worried and wanted to force herself to incense.

Xia Xiangguo hurriedly stopped, and Mrs. Xiangguo on the side also said: "Mother, don't get up, this incense thing, the daughter-in-law went on behalf of her mother, but it is just a blessing for the younger generation, and the Buddha will not mind." ”

Xia Guotao's heart moved slightly, if it was before, he naturally had no opinion, but now that he already knows that the jade bead is fake, he is reluctant to let his beloved wife suffer this fatigue for the Xibei goods, and besides, this pretending to be a real dragon bone blood is also a big crime, if the Buddha has a spirit, he will be blamed if he really wants to go.

Thinking of this, Xia Guotao pondered what excuse to use to block the incense, and at this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and Chu Feifei walked in with the boiled medicinal soup.

When the old lady saw it, she said, "You girl, didn't you say these trivial things for them to do?" The kitchen is smoky, your little body bones, don't go in, this autumn dryness is also very hurtful. ”

Chu Fei smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just looking at the small stove for boiling medicine outside, there are a few flavors of medicine on this recipe that are marked as "fried first" and "later", it is very cumbersome to see, I was worried that the sisters in the small kitchen would not be busy, so I came by myself." ”

Xia Guotao listened to it on the side, and nodded secretly in his heart, the so-called "decoction first" and "then down" refer to the detailed requirements for different medicinal materials and the order of water intake and the time of decoction.

The imperial doctor is the imperial doctor in the end, even if it is an ordinary prescription to calm the qi and reduce the fire, it is also very particular, and even more requires the decoction of the medicine to use rain before the dawn, and the snow melts after the cold to soak the medicinal materials, these cumbersome attention is naturally to maximize the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, so that the patient can take the least medicine as much as possible, and recover in the fastest time.

It's just that when this recipe arrives at the patient, most of the decoction is an ignorant servant, and some of them care about the order of water intake and the time of torment in order to avoid laziness, most of the time they see that the water is almost dry, and fry it into a bowl, which is already considered conscientious. What's more, fry it dry and then add water to mix it

Therefore, most of the painstaking efforts of the doctors were in the hands of the servants who decocted the medicine, but most of them actually left nothing.

Now Chu Feifei's devotion to decoction made Xia Guotao look at Chu Feifei again in his heart, but then he thought of Mama Jin's words yesterday, and suddenly woke up in his heart, this prince is mainly interested in Shaoyuan, and I am afraid that it is impossible to accept concubines.

In the past, Yuzhu was raised by herself, and she had such a character, and parents were always afraid of wronging their children, so they would think of giving Xia Shaoyuan a deferential and virtuous concubine first. Now that Mama Jin has spoken clearly, if she wants to pretend to be confused, it is impossible to cut first and then play.

Looking at Chu Feifei who was smiling and serving the old lady to drink medicine, and looking at the old wife on the side who was also looking at Chu Feifei with satisfaction in her eyes, Xia Guotao sighed secretly in his heart, it's a pity that such a good child is cheaper than others.

Seeing that the old lady liked this girl so much, Xia Guotao felt a dilemma in his heart, and the more secure it was for one person to know about this real princess.

Xia Guotao didn't even plan to sue his old wife, and naturally he didn't want to make the old lady worried, but he just wanted to find some excuse for the old lady to dispel the idea of letting Shaoyuan accept this girl?

While pondering, I suddenly heard the old lady say: "Since the wife is going to incense, you can go with it, and your knowledge will also increase." ”

As soon as Chu Feifei heard that he could leave the house, he was naturally so happy that he agreed, and Mrs. Xiangguo also looked at Chu Feifei, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she had eyes, and she thought that this child would be half a daughter-in-law in the future, so she readily agreed at the moment.

Only Xia Guotao frowned slightly, and then said: "Suwen, my mother is sick in bed, it's not good for you not to wait by your side, I see this incense, just let this girl go." ”

Yes? Mrs. Xiangguo and the old lady looked at each other, this incense and prayer, it is already a big disrespect not to be able to go in person, and send a girl to make a difference, this is too

Xia Guotao continued: "It is the duty of the maid to pray for the blessing of the master, since ancient times, there have been maids who have become monks in the Buddhist family instead of the master, and it makes sense that this girl will go to the incense instead of her mother." ”

The old lady still felt that something was wrong, and opened her mouth, Xia Xiangguo gently held her mother's hand and pinched it slightly, the old lady's heart moved, and she glanced at Chu Feifei, who was cleaning up the kang table.

At this time, Xia Guotao said again: "Not only will Ruiyuan let the maid go, but there will also be a maid from the Zhuyuan side, and they will go to the incense and pray together." ”
