On the second day, Mrs. Wang invited the imperial doctor to her home and when she diagnosed Niu's disease, she saw her with a blue face and trembling incessantly, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Last night, she avoided the descendants of the Wang family, asked her granddaughter Zhao Xiang and the two big girls to help, and took a cold shower, because she was worried that she was not seriously ill enough, the Wang family would not keep her to continue to live, and specially soaked for a while. At this time, it was already October, and the capital had already entered winter, and the wind was cold, and there was a thin snow this morning. Taking a cold shower in such weather, let alone two quarters of an hour, is afraid that a short time can make people sick.

Niu had been in prison for a few months, and his body had been lost, and although he ate good meat and soup after he was released from prison, he didn't pay much attention to it, and only ate the food that he couldn't eat during those days in prison, whether it was greasy or not. But all the supplements that can replenish the body, as long as you have money, you must prepare them, and you will never treat yourself badly. But she didn't know much, she only thought that the supplements were good, and she didn't look at the season, and she didn't ask the doctor to prescribe it. After entering Wang's house, she stuffed ginseng and deer antler bird's nest into her stomach, and after being exposed to pouring medicine, in order to continue to pretend to be sick, she could only drink the medicine hard. Then Dr. Liu knew that she was pretending to be sick, and the medicine she prescribed was just a false story, saying that it was a tonic, but in fact, it was not right for her symptoms at all. Now that she has taken a cold shower for another two quarters of an hour, where can Niu's body resist her tossing like this? It collapsed immediately. She didn't know it herself, and thought it was just a cold.

When the imperial doctor took the pulse, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brow wrinkled. Thrush and lark watching. thought that Niu's had finally succeeded in pretending to be sick, and the latter also gave Zhao Xiang, who had come to peek behind the screen, a "reassuring" look, and Zhao Xiang shrank his head. A relieved smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Wang originally thought that Niu was pretending to be sick, but she didn't expect to see it today, it looked like she was really sick, and she was still depressed. She asked the imperial doctor how Niu's condition was, and the imperial doctor dropped his schoolbag for a long time, and none of the wives and girls present could understand. Zhao Xiang behind the screen understood a few words, which meant that her grandmother had a cold and was not well maintained when she was young. Now it has caused the old disease, and the improper tonic a few days ago, the deficiency is not supplemented, but the body has deteriorated. This time the disease flare-up. I'm afraid that it will be a little dangerous, if you can't take care of it well, it is likely that there will be troubles in the future. When she heard this, she felt a stump in her heart, thinking that her grandmother was just soaking in cold water, and there was a wind cold, who hasn't had a wind cold? Took the medicine. It's good to have a few days, and it's all right. Why did this doctor say as if my grandmother was dying? What a bad luck!

Zhao Xiang was a little uneasy in his heart, if his grandmother really had a good one, what would she do? Now she is all counting on the support of this elder, her brother is unreliable, Aunt Xiaoqian has already made a feud, if her grandmother has another accident, she will really be helpless. Unless the grandmother can arrange her life before the accident, and then prepare a rich dowry for her, preferably until she marries, then she will have nothing to fear.

Not to mention the little thoughts in Zhao Xiang's heart, the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription on the spot, saying that he asked the patient to try it first, and if it was better, it would not be too late to prescribe it. Niu's whole person was dazed, and when he heard the imperial doctor say this, he thought that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw that he solemnly instructed the two girls to pay many precautions, he felt that it was not like he had no purpose. Could it be that her illness is really dangerous?

Thinking about it, she was immediately frightened. She wants to marry her granddaughter to a good family, isn't it so that she can rely on her granddaughter to enjoy happiness in the future? Before anything was done, she was going to die? Then why is she working so hard for?! She struggled to sit up, trying to find the doctor to ask for clarification, but she was so dizzy that she opened her mouth to speak, but she had no strength in her body, so she desperately supported the bed board to sit up, and touched the wound in her palm, which made her sweat cold, and then squeezed out a cry of pain. At this exhalation, she realized that her throat was actually hoarse and dry, and all she said was gas. She was in a hurry, desperately trying to speak, and her head was dizzy again. In the past, she always relied on pretending to be sick and faint to avoid talking to Mrs. Wang, but she didn't expect that now that she has retribution, she can't say anything if she wants to say something.

She was so angry and anxious that something seemed to rush to her head, and as soon as her whole body was covered and her throat was sweet, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Thrush and Bailing were still listening to the imperial doctor's orders, Mrs. Wang was listening with a gloomy face on the side, Zhao Xiang was still worrying about his little Jiujiu behind the screen, and in the end, it was Xianglan who discovered Niu's abnormality first, and hurriedly shouted: "The patient has fainted!" At the moment, it was a rush again, and the imperial doctor gave Niu a few injections, and she was relieved, but she was also drowsy and weak.

Mrs. Wang instructed the girls to take care of Niu's, so she sent the imperial doctor out, and asked about Niu's condition on the way: "The condition of the relatives...... Is it really that dangerous? I looked okay before, my complexion was good, and my voice was full of energy. Originally, she just thought that she had seen the doctor ineffective before, so she still had to ask someone with good medical skills to take a look, so that she could rest assured. I didn't expect that she would be so sick in just one night......"

The imperial doctor said vaguely: "Looking at the pulse, there was actually something bad before, the medicine I took was not right, and I don't know where the quack doctor prescribed the prescription indiscriminately, not only could not cure the disease, but made the patient weaker." The patient may not see the symptoms obvious, but it is just a strong external and middle work, but it will not come out for a while. I'm very sick today, and it looks like I got a cold last night. Now that it is winter, you still have to pay more attention to the good maintenance of your body, you are old, not as young as young, even if you love to clean, you can also wash with warm water. ”

The Imperial Doctor only said this, and then took his leave and left. Although he didn't know the identity of the patient whom the Wang family invited him to see, he had been practicing medicine for many years, and he only entered the Tai Hospital a few months ago. Today, it is obvious that he can't pretend to be sick anymore, and he wants to be really sick once, but he has done too much. But what does it have to do with him? He just saw the face of the Wang family and went to the clinic in private.

Mrs. Wang finished sending off the guests. When I returned to the courtyard, my face was red and white. She ordered Xianghuan to quietly pass the little girl waiting in the west courtyard to interrogate, and learned that last night, the two girls in front of Mrs. Zhao in the west courtyard passed a bucket of cold water. It was explained that the charcoal basin was burning in the house, and the smoke was too heavy, and the owners couldn't stand it, so they wanted to take the water and clean it, but they refused to use the basin to fill it with cold water, and insisted on using a bath bucket. When the water was sent out later, it was clear that it had been used. And when Mrs. Zhao uses this bucket of cold water. The two big girls beside her, and Zhao Xiang, the eldest girl, were waiting in the house, and Zhao Xiang's girl was guarding outside the door. Even Aunt Xiaoqian was not allowed to enter.

What else does Mrs. Wang not understand? It's so angry and funny. What's funny is that in order to stay in the Wang family, Niu was able to pretend to be sick until he was seriously ill. The angry thing is that Niu Shi is really sick, and she can't open her mouth to drive people away no matter what. She was annoyed in her heart, and even Zhao Xiang was annoyed. I thought that this little girl would not only be able to act. has no filial piety, in order to stay in the Wang family and covet her son, she actually sat back and watched her grandmother spoil her body!

After thinking about it, she turned her heart sideways, and while instructing the subordinates of the West Courtyard to continue to serve the ancestors and grandchildren of the Niu family, she told her husband all the things, especially highlighting that Zhao Xiang had intentions against Wang Tongsheng, and sat back and watched the Niu family spoil his body. Deliberately contracted these two things with a serious illness.

Wang Dongsheng frowned: "What kind of mess?" ”

Mrs. Wang was afraid that he would not believe it, so she solemnly mentioned a few witnesses. In addition to his own subordinates, there is another more powerful, that is Zhao Ze! Early this morning, she asked her second son Wang Tongsheng to go to Zhao Ze's study shop, and asked about the rumors that he had a personal affair with Zhao Xiang, and sure enough, Zhao Ze admitted that Zhao Xiang did say this, and he thought it was true. When Wang Tongsheng admitted that he hadn't even looked at Zhao Xiang with a straight eye, the expression on Zhao Ze's face was really indescribable.

Zhao Ze admitted that Wang Dongsheng finally believed his wife's words, but he still defended Zhao Xiang: "She is young, what can she understand?" Nine times out of ten, it was instigated by Mrs. Zhao. Zhao Jue, the mother, has always loved to do stupid things, and she thinks she is smart. ”

Mrs. Wang was a little angry: "Then according to your meaning, you want to continue to support their family, women and children, so that people can continue to calculate your son?" You have to think clearly, if Tong Sheng marries Sister Xiang'er, what future does he have in this life?! ”

Wang Dongsheng was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I know what you're worried about." Now that Mrs. Zhao is sick, she can't just ask the patient to leave now, and wait until she recovers. As for our two sons, it's time to find an errand. Tomorrow, I'll go to ask someone to see if I can send them to the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant. With the messengers, they have less time at home, they usually live in the outer courtyard, and they save time in the morning and dusk to avoid the guests in the west courtyard, what are they afraid of? ”

Mrs. Wang asked, "The child's errand is up, but what about yours?" ”

Wang Dongsheng paused suspiciously: "There are already eyebrows, and there should be a will in a while." ”

Mrs. Wang has been a husband and wife with him for so many years, can't you see the reluctance on his face? She persuaded him bitterly: "Why do you try to coax me? I know that in my heart now. It must have been because we took Mrs. Zhao's grandchildren home to live, and we treated them too well, so that outsiders would know that we were the ones who ignored the laws of the imperial court. I know that the old man remembers the grace of the old county prince and Zhao Jue's affection, and he can't bear to see his family living in difficulty. But the lord also has to think about our family, the old lady has been widowed for many years, and finally returned to Beijing to live a stable life, can you bear to ask her to continue to worry about the future of her children and grandchildren? ”

Wang Dongsheng sighed: "Okay, when Mrs. Zhao's condition is better this time, you can buy a clean house in the outer city and give it to their grandchildren, and then send a sum of silver to buy a house for her family, which must be enough for Mrs. Zhao to live comfortably outside." If someone in his family wants to ask for a doctor, our family can also give money, don't make them struggling to make ends meet. You can also help take a look at the marriage of several children in the future, of course, you still have to let Mrs. Zhao decide. Acting as a brother, he still has to find an errand for him, and it also saves him from getting close to the brothers Weisheng and Tongsheng. ”

Mrs. Wang was really unwilling to continue to spend money for the Niu family's ancestors and grandchildren, but in order to send people away and prevent her son from being coveted, she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

While talking, Wang Wei was born. He came to ask his parents for instructions: "When I went out today, I met the young master of the Fang family who was introduced to our brother by Brother Yan, and he mentioned that Cao Ran of the General Mansion of the Pillar State was going to have a birthday in two days, and the family banquet was held at home, but relatives and friends got together, and it was not a big deal." The young master of the Fang family and Cao Ran are cousins, saying that it would be too lonely, and planned to ask a few cousins to make two tables of wine for him outside, and invited a small drama to be lively. In addition to their cousins, there were also a few generals who were good friends with Cao Ran. The young master of the Fang family heard that after my second brother and I returned to Beijing, we had never made friends from Jiangmen, so he wanted to call us together. The son came to ask his father and mother to show him, should the son and the second brother go or not? ”

Wang Dongsheng was stunned. The Zhuguo General's Mansion is also one of the good friends of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, when he just returned to the court, he saw Cao Taihe in the palace, and the other party greeted him cordially, saying that he would drink together when he was resting. I didn't expect to see Cao Taihe again in two days, and when the other party saw him, his attitude was much colder. At that time, he was still confused, what else does he not understand now? must have been close to the ancestors and grandchildren of the Niu family, and offended Cao Taihe, who was closer to the second room of the Zhao family. Now that he and Cao Taihe have no one to make peace, it is difficult to reconcile, maybe the juniors have a good relationship, and it is also a turning point.

He asked his son a little lonely: "Go, let your mother help your brother choose a decent gift." The capital is not as good as the northwest, if you have a quarrel with a child during the banquet, be more tolerant and don't get into trouble with others. If you can make a few friends with similar temperaments, you will not be lonely in Beijing in the future. ”

At this time, in the Zhao family's small house, Zhao Wei also received an invitation sent by Cao Ran. Cao Ran not only invited him to the Cao family's family banquet, but also invited him to the banquet set up for him by his cousins and friends outside. The day before Cao Ran's birthday, it was in a famous restaurant near the East Fourth Archway, not far from the General Zhuguo's Mansion.

Zhao Wei thought that the renovation project of the old mansion of the Hou Mansion had also started for a few days, and he was about to find a time to see how it was going, so it was better to go to Cao Ran's banquet by the way. However, he didn't know who the people involved would be at that time, whether they would lose their temper with him, whether they would go crazy at that time, and say hello to their grandmother first.

On Zhang's side, Zhao Xiu was also talking to his grandmother about it. She also received Cao Luo's post, but it was a little different from Cao Ran's one, this was Cao Luo and a few cousins who discussed the matter of holding a poetry party in the east and invited Zhao Xiu to play. Because of the snow today, the plum blossoms in Cao Luo's yard bloomed, so she invited her sisters to enjoy the plum blossoms, make a poem, drink tea, and eat a snack by the way. Zhao Xiu had an appointment with her beforehand, of course she would not refuse to attend the meeting, but she had to discuss with her grandmother what gift to give to Cao Ran to congratulate him on his birthday, and how to deal with it when she participated in the poetry meeting?

Zhao Xiu is not good at writing poems and lyrics. (To be continued......)

PS: It's back to Sister Xiu'er......
