Chapter Twenty-Seven: Qiao'er
"That person's condition is already settled, you dragged it back just unconscious, and there were no continuous convulsions." Su Nian looked at the starry sky, there were no bright neon lights around, and there were so many stars and so brilliant.
Xiaocui patted her chest, the situation was so good that she was so worried, if she met someone in a bad situation, then it is estimated that she would really not dare to touch it.
******************
Lived in Huaishu Hutong for a period of time, Su Nian and Xiao Cui were magically loved by the neighbors, Xiao Cui's original personality was very lively and cheerful, since Su Nian crossed, and subtly let her restore the innocent nature of the little girl, so it is very lovely.
In addition, Su Nian looks like a young lady, but she is kind, never arrogant, and there is nothing difficult to get along with.
After going back and forth like this, they became familiar with the people around them.
In a house on the left, there was a little girl of about the same age as them, named Qiao'er, who came to visit the courtyard of Su Nian, and happened to see them doing needlework, so she only glanced at them, and couldn't take her eyes off.
Needlework is a necessary job for women in this era, not only to support their families, but also to cultivate sentiments, which is a basic life skill.
So a young girl of Qiao'er's age naturally has a competitive spirit in this regard.
As a result, Qiao'er glanced at the needle and thread that Xiao Cui held in her hand, and immediately bowed down, and then came over from time to time to ask for advice.
Qiao'er and Xiaocui both belong to the type that loves to talk and laugh, they don't care about Su Nian, they put their heads together and chatter non-stop, Su Nian is lying on a chair, holding a book comfortably, listening to the little girl's thin voice with satisfaction, basking in the sun, so beautiful.
It's like an old man......
But one day, Qiao'er suddenly stopped appearing, Xiaocui was a little worried, so she greeted Su Nian and asked Qiao'er about her situation.
When Xiaocui came back, Su Nian found that her eyes were swollen like two walnuts, and her eyes were red and bloodshot, obviously crying hard.
"What's wrong?" Su Nian frowned, could it be that Qiao'er had an accident.
Xiaocui cried out again with "wow": "Miss, Qiao'er is so pitiful......"
By the time Xiaocui finished sobbing and crying, Su Nian had almost heard a rough idea.
It's not Qiao'er, it's Qiao'er's mother who has an accident.
It may be due to overwork, coupled with age, Qiao'er's mother suddenly fainted at night and became unconscious, and after calling the doctor to wake up, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and half of her body could not move.
Su Nian knew in his heart that it was probably a stroke.
"That doctor prescribed medicine for Qiao'er's mother, and she needs a lot of ginseng, but where can their family afford it......" Xiao Cui flattened her mouth.
In fact, Qiao'er's family is not poor, but the price of this ginseng is very high, not to mention, the amount of ginseng in the prescription is too much.
With ginseng? Su Nian's mind changed, that is to say, Qiao'erniang's stroke was caused by cerebral embolism, so the doctor would prescribe ginseng aconite, a warm-warming drug, to restore yang and save adversity.
"And then?" Su Nian asked, if this was the case, Xiaocui wouldn't cry so badly, right?
Then, because they wanted to treat Qiao'er's illness, their family decided to marry Qiao'er in exchange for a dowry.
This is really ......, Su Nian can't speak, why does she think this thing sounds so unhumane? A dowry in exchange? What's the difference between that and selling your daughter?
Qiao'er's family also has two younger brothers, this is where the hope of their family lies, and the daughter, anyway, will eventually become someone else's family, so now she can help the family with something, what is there?
"What about Qiao'er Niang? Will she? Su Nian only felt that there was a fire in his heart, what happened to his daughter? The daughter is the intimate little padded jacket!
Xiaocui touched her tears, of course Qiao'er's mother was unwilling, but in addition to Qiao'er, she also had two younger sons, for the sake of this family, she couldn't fall yet, what choice could she have?
Su Nian knew that stroke was not so easy to cure, and the doctor disregarded the conditions of the patient's family and prescribed such an expensive prescription, even if Qiao'er's family sold Qiao'er, it should not last long.
"Miss, Miss, you can save Qiao'er's mother, right? Qiao'er is really pitiful, that rich man Xue told me that she is almost fifty! There are often lives in the family, but he is rich! Miss, if Qiao'er marries and becomes a concubine, she won't live long......" Xiaocui thought about the little friend who was buried in needlework with her, and couldn't cry.
But soon, Xiaocui reacted, what was she doing? How could she make such a request to the young lady? Although the system of the Li Dynasty is open, there are not many women practicing medicine, and the young lady had to do it for their livelihood before, but now they are not short of money, how can the young lady continue to treat the disease?
Xiaocui immediately knelt down, "It's all the slave's fault, the slave maid was dazed for a while, please punish the young lady." ”
Su Nian turned around and walked into the house, leaving Xiaocui to kneel there alone, it's over, Miss is angry, it's all her own fault, and she should be angry when she makes this kind of request.
Thinking like this, Xiao Cui saw Su Nian come out of the house again, holding a small bag in his hand, Xiao Cui recognized that it was the acupuncture bag that Su Nian often held in his hand.
When he came out and saw Xiaocui still kneeling there, Su Nian was extremely surprised: "Didn't you say to go and see, why are you still kneeling?" However, if people don't want me to look at me, I can't help it, you can see if it makes sense. ”
Xiaocui still had tears on both cheeks, her small mouth was slightly open, and she looked dazed, and when she reacted, her eyes widened wider and wider, and she got up from the ground in a hurry, and she was about to cry again with her mouth flattened, "Little, Miss......"
"Okay, hurry up, after a while, Qiao'er will suffer a little more, but I can't guarantee that it will be cured, let's go and see it first."
Qiao'er's family is no stranger to Xiaocui, and their family really has no choice, Xue Caizhu didn't know where Lu Dao found out about Qiao'er's family, so he came to the door with a box full of silver to ask for marriage, Qiao'er's father refused, he was unwilling to sell Qiao'er.
However, Qiao'er's mother used those expensive prescriptions to maintain the current situation, and as a daughter, Qiao'er compromised first.
Xiaocui is still quite capable, she praised Su Nian for a good meal, and moved out the things of the previous prefect, and the Qiao'er family that she said was hopeful again.
Su Nian just smiled faintly, but he really had a masterful demeanor.
