The green branch is not young, and it is time to release it. For example, the dowry girl brought by Yu Jia herself either gave Brother-in-law Ding a room, or released her early, and now the children are several years old.

If it were usual, Yujia would definitely ask about the details of Green Branch's marriage, but now she is not in such a mood. The son was about to be taken away by his mother-in-law, and Yujia's heart was like cooking in an oil pot.

Yuxin has been in the palace for so many years, and she has already developed a pair of fiery eyes that can observe words and colors. Yu Jia sat down as soon as he came in, although there was a smile on his face, but the smile was very reluctant. And although Yujia occasionally handed over signs to talk to her, she was not as intimate as Yulan and her, so Yuxin concluded that there must be something wrong with her this time.

Yu Xin gave Lu Rui a look. Lu Rui understood, curtsied, and then went down with the palace maids and eunuchs.

"There are no outsiders here, and we sisters don't have to go around the bend, the second sister might as well say anything directly!"

Yujia stood up and knelt down directly: "Your Highness, the concubine is here this time, and she really has something to ask for!" Yu Xin sighed in her heart, after all, the second sister can't talk to her like the seventh sister, if the seventh sister will only have something to say, and Yu Jia knelt like this, it was a bit of a force for her to help. Yu Xin didn't mind helping her sisters, thinking that the second sister was not too close to her even if she was at home, Yu Xin put aside the unhappiness as soon as she thought about it.

She personally stepped forward to help Yujia. "Come on, we sisters, there's nothing you can't say, just tell me if there's anything you can do, I will definitely help you!" The attitude is very sincere.

Yu Jia remembered that when she was in the Jin Palace, when Yulan and her were thinking about how to make Mrs. Ding take the bait, she had fully considered Yuxin's help here, and she never thought that Yuxin would refuse them. It seems that the seventh sister knows the crown princess far better than herself.

While thinking nonsense in her heart, she stood up, and the two sat down again, and Yujia told the family about the things as they were. and when she arrived at the Jin Palace, Yulan discussed the countermeasures with her, and they all talked about it in detail.

Yu Xin listened quietly, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest. Yu Jia was slightly surprised when he looked at it. When she was at home before, Yuxin was not so calm, it seems that the palace is really exercised, and even Yuxin's fiery temper has been experienced.

When Yu Jia finished speaking, she looked at Yu Xin with burning eyes, full of expectations for her. Yu Xin slowly turned the pastel teacup in her hand, as if considering the possibility of this matter. "Call Lord Gong from Tai Hospital to help say a few words, this is not a problem." Yu Xin said lightly, Yu Jia was overjoyed when she heard it.

Yu Xin said again: "Such a trivial matter, it seems a bit of a fuss to move Zhang Tianshi to come forward." Yu Jia's original joy immediately vanished, and she said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" ”

Yu Xin gently took a sip of the fragrant West Lake Longjing tea, put the teacup on the small table in front of her, thought about it, and said slowly: "Although Zhang Tianshi did not serve in the court, after all, he was awarded the title of Zheng Erpin by the emperor, and he has such a high prestige among the people, even the prince does not dare to instruct him at will, if I send someone to tell him about it, it will be a little inappropriate." Yu Jia's face already showed a look of disappointment, but Yu Xin changed her words again: "Second sister, don't worry, although Zhang Tianshi can't do it, this matter may not be successful." It's his apprentice, but it's okay. ”

As he spoke, he screamed, and Lu Rui had been standing under the eaves outside the hall, and walked in when he heard the sound. "What do you command?"

"Go and call Mama Zhang to me." Mama Zhang manages the relationship between the crown princess.

After a while, a woman in her forties walked in. Yu Xin asked her: "I remember that a few days ago, Li Chengqian, a closed disciple of Zhang Tianshi, sent someone to send a heavy gift, is there such a thing?" "That mother-in-law can control the relationship between the princess and the princess, so she is naturally capable. She doesn't have to flip through the post, she also remembers, "If you go back to your mother, there is such a thing." "Zhang Tianshi's apprentices are all men, so naturally they can't see Yuxin, but if they want to gain a foothold in Beijing, they always have to find some backers, and of course the princess has to give a big gift.

Yu Xin didn't think about how to return the gift for a while, so she put it away for the time being. As soon as Yu Jia said this, she suddenly remembered. She waved her hand, sent Mama Zhang down, and said with a smile: "Although this Li Chengqian is Zhang Tianshi's closed apprentice, it is said that the law is not below several senior brothers, and he is very clever, which is very valued by Zhang Tianshi. Let's work him! "During these days, the prince and Zhang Tianshi have been very close, and Yu Xin has also learned a lot about Zhang Tianshi, but she didn't expect to be able to use it in this situation.

"Among the disciples of Heavenly Master Zhang, it is said that they are also fighting openly and secretly, and they all want to show their faces in front of Heavenly Master, and it is just the time to ask us. We've got to plan and plan! Yu Jia was slightly stunned, she saw a terrifying brilliance flashing on Yu Xin's face, it seemed that at this moment, the eighth sister who was in the Yang Mansion was full of energy back then.

Yujia's in-law Ding Mansion. Mrs. Ding sat upright on the bed in the hall of the main room, and the maids and women in the room and under the eaves of the porch outside were all holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

The reason why she is respectfully called Mrs. Ding is not because she is old, but because she is older. In fact, she is only in her forties, and because of proper maintenance, she looks only about thirty years old, and her hair is crows, and she can't tell where she is "old" at all. It's just that the look is very serious, and it's not easy to get along with at first glance.

She took a sip of the high-quality Biluochun with the blue and white porcelain teacup, put down the teacup and asked impatiently: "Why did you invite a doctor to go for so long, and no one has come back?" ”

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and a mother in her forties wearing a plain Hangzhou silk gown came in, cleaning up very neatly, with a pair of eyes that were very flexible, and she was shrewd and capable at first glance.

She first saluted the old lady meticulously, and then said, "Old lady, the hundred stewards of the outer courtyard have invited the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital back." ”

When Mrs. Ding heard this, her expression was still a little worried, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

This mother's surname is Li, and she is the first-class housekeeper mother in Mrs. Ding's room. It is the person she has spent most of her life with, the henchman in her heart, but in the face of Mrs. Ding, she is still careful and careful, and she does not dare to make a mistake and take half a wrong step, which shows that Mrs. Ding is strict with people.

Mother Li said cautiously: "The white steward came in just now to pass the word, saying that it was very unfortunate today, and the queen occasionally felt a cold, so she called Imperial Doctor Lin to go in to diagnose the pulse. Imperial Physician Lin had no time to come, so the Imperial Hospital recommended a Imperial Physician Gong. The white steward was not good at refuting the face of the hospital, so he brought it over. ”

Mrs. Ding frowned when she heard this, and she was very unhappy: "Why did you change a doctor?" What a self-inflicted claim! "That Imperial Doctor Lin and the Ding family are good friends, no matter who in the family has a problem for so many years, they have always asked Imperial Doctor Lin to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and now they have suddenly changed to a Imperial Doctor, and I don't know what the medical skills are, Old Lady Ding is naturally unhappy.

Mother Li has been with her for so many years, so she can naturally guess this little bit of thought. The white steward of the outer court was related to her by marriage. She always wanted to help him turn around in front of the old lady, so she said carefully: "This Imperial Doctor Gong is said to have excellent medical skills, but if there is a headache and brain fever in Yuqing Palace, he always calls him to come and see, it is the Jin Palace, and he often asks him to consult the princess." "Yuqing Palace lives in the prince, and the prince of Jin is even more famous for his difficult waiting, this Imperial Doctor Gong can often go in and out of Yuqing Palace and Jin Wangfu, which shows that his medical skills are very clever.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ding's expression was a little pale. In fact, this Taiyi can't do it, and she can't return it, since it was recommended by the Tai Hospital, she can't just save the face of the Tai Hospital because she is not satisfied at all. Although Mrs. Ding is an elder, in the officialdom, even Shoufu does not dare to offend everyone.

Mrs. Ding said, "Since you are here, just say hello, don't slack off." ”

"Yes!" Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief and finally passed this hurdle.

Mrs. Ding said: "You go to Ermen, personally accompany Imperial Doctor Gong to the eldest grandmother, and give Brother Ye a good diagnosis and treatment, to see if he is really sick, and there are still people who want to keep him sick." "Grandma, it's Yujia. Mother Li felt a chill when she heard this. Mrs. Ding is too cold to this eldest daughter-in-law.

Previously, when Mrs. Yang was in power, at that time, Ding Ge always asked Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Ding and Yujia had a good mother's love and filial piety, and she was like her own daughter, and later Ding Ge betrayed Mrs. Yang, and the political speculation was successful, but the reputation was ruined.

Mrs. Ding took her anger out on Yu Jia for this matter, thinking that Mrs. Yang had made a stumbling block. I hate Yujia to the core, and I can't wait to leave her. It happened that Yu Jia broke up with her mother's family because she refused to reconcile with the eldest young master, thanks to her two good sisters, at that time, the princess of Jin came to visit every three or five days, and strongly supported the cousin in the next room, and the princess couldn't come out in the palace, so she rewarded the palace maid to Yu Jia.

Mrs. Ding relented a little. On the one hand, he pleaded with his son not to enter Yujia's room, and on the other hand, he stuffed people into his son's house. Later, I don't know which immoral suggestion Lu Dao listened to, and he wanted to take his grandson to his own room and raise him, and break up the mother and son of others.

Although Mother Li is the old lady's side, she has looked at her grandmother in the past few years, although she has a cold temperament, she is generous and fair, and behaves decently.

What the old lady said just now meant that Yu Jia had done something on the child's body, and kept telling him to be sick for a long time, so as to avoid being held and raised by the old lady. She felt that the eldest grandmother would not be like that at all, she was also a mother, she knew that once the child was sick, what was it like to be a mother, she really wished that she was sick for the child, and Brother Ye was so young, the eldest grandmother had always treated him like an eyeball, how could she be willing to do this to her son?

She understands the old lady's thoughts, once the eldest grandmother really does this, a crime of "harming the heir" will not be able to escape, and Brother-in-law Ding will have every reason to leave her home.

Mother Li opened her mouth, trying to persuade two words but didn't dare to say it after all, Mrs. Ding has always said one thing and another, even if she said it, it was useless, she only told Mrs. Ding to annoy her in vain, so she simply shut up. After saluting, he went to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Mrs. Ding sent Li's mother away and called a literate maid to come in and read the Bible to her. After reading for more than half an hour, Li's mother came in to inform her: "Imperial Doctor Gong has seen the little young master, and wants to come in and ask the old lady for a safe pulse." ”

Imperial Physician Gong's posture was very low.

Mrs. Ding was a little satisfied when she heard this. Although this Imperial Doctor Gong rarely came to Ding's Mansion to see a doctor, she looked polite, and she was about to ask about her grandson's condition, so she said, "Please come in." ”

Li's mother agreed, turned around and led a middle-aged man in his thirties in. I saw that he had a straight nose and a square mouth, and his appearance was upright, and Mrs. Ding had a good impression at first sight.

"Xiaguan greets the old lady!"

"Lord Gong, please get up!" Seeing that the greetings were over, Mrs. Ding asked: "This time, the little grandson is sick, and Master Lao has gone this way." I have long heard that you are the national hand of Xinglin, and it is natural that you will be cured by medicine. It's just that as a grandmother, I still want to know about my grandson's condition, but I don't know what happened to Brother Ye'er......"

Imperial Physician Gong first said humbly: "Your old lady is polite, Xia Guan was originally a late learner, and it was all by luck that he was able to enter the Tai Hospital, and the Xinglin National Player would never dare to be it!" Speaking of Brother Ye'er's condition: "Let Sun only have an ordinary cold and cold, the prescription of Imperial Doctor Lin in front of him is very symptomatic, and the lower officials have carefully added or subtracted one or two flavors of medicine, so that Sun has taken medicine for three days in a row according to the prescription, and he usually pays attention to his diet, so it is not a big deal." ”

Old Mrs. Ding showed a very satisfied look on her face when she heard this: "It's really Master Lao." It's just that Xiao Sun's illness came suddenly, and it hasn't improved for a long time, is someone careless to take care of it, or is there any other reason? "I have to blame this matter on Yujia to feel at ease.

Imperial Doctor Gong said: "The child's body is already weak, and now it is the season of spring and summer, the disease of wind and cold is not big, but it is very difficult to treat, and some recurrence is normal." In other words, it is not a human factor, Mrs. Ding couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Imperial Doctor Gong said: "Since you are here, it is good to ask the old lady for a safe pulse!" ”

Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "It's so tiring." The little maid took a thin silk handkerchief and put it on Mrs. Ding's wrist, and Imperial Doctor Gong put her hand on Mrs. Ding's wrist.

His expression slowly changed from relaxed to solemn. He cautiously changed his hand, touched it for a moment, and then closed the door and pondered for a long time without saying a word.

Mrs. Ding is also a good hand at observing words and feelings, she is a person who cherishes her life very much, and she can't help but be a little worried when she sees this. "Lord Gong, but is it inappropriate to give up?"

Imperial Physician Gong's expression changed slightly, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "It's okay, old lady, you are in good health, it should be okay." ”

He looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, how could Mrs. Ding rest assured, she waved her hand and sent the servant, there is a way to care about it, she said: "If you have anything to say, you might as well speak boldly." If you say this, you leave half and leave half, isn't it a rush to death! ”

Imperial Doctor Gong seemed to have something unspeakable, and refused to speak for a long time, and he simply wanted to leave after the last moment, Mrs. Ding felt cold and cold, could it be that she had some incurable disease? At this time, we can't let Imperial Doctor Gong go. It's good to say that it was hard to keep Imperial Doctor Gong.

"If you have any questions, please explain!"

Imperial Doctor Gong seemed to be entangled and had no choice, so he had to say: "Xiaguan looks at your complexion, you should have a stomach cold and spleen deficiency, but just now I gave you a pulse, and the pulse is very peculiar, but it does not correspond to this symptom at all." It's really weird. It is necessary to know that it is the foundation of Chinese medicine, and Xia Guan studied under his father, who is the best at seeing and diagnosing, and has never encountered this situation for many years, so he feels very surprised. ”

No wonder I didn't want to say it, but I was afraid that I would smash my signboard after saying this. Mrs. Ding can understand. She hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with the old body?" ”

"The old lady doesn't have to worry, even the stomach cold and spleen deficiency are not a big symptom, since I haven't seen your pathology below, I won't prescribe you a prescription. You should also ask a famous doctor to take a look at it before making a conclusion. Then he got up and took his leave. I can't keep it.

After sending away Imperial Doctor Gong, Mrs. Ding was uneasy. Just now, the old lady waved away the maid and the mother-in-law, but Mother Li was left behind, and seeing that the old lady was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but say: "There is a golden needle Liu in the Shahat Hutong, who is rumored to be a miracle doctor." It is said that the family has practiced medicine for generations, and the medical skills are very high, no less than the Tai Doctor in the Tai Hospital, but because he was lame in one leg, he was not able to enter the Tai Hospital...... But the slave and maid invited him to show the old lady! The reputation of this golden needle Liu said: "Since this is the case, don't go quickly!" ”

After a while, Jin Needle Liu came, looked at her complexion, touched her pulse again, muttered for a while, and said exactly the same words as Imperial Doctor Gong.

Mrs. Ding only felt cold.

"The symptoms are unknown, and the old man doesn't dare to prescribe casually." Jin Zhen Liu shook his head and said, "The old man also encountered an incurable disease back then, and there was a lady who had abdominal pain, but she couldn't feel the pulse no matter what. After taking a few doses of medicine, it didn't get better, and then a Taoist priest who happened to meet a crane in the clouds and helped her do a ritual, and she got better. Therefore, some diseases can be cured by medicinal stones, and some diseases cannot be cured by medicinal stones. ”

Mother Li was taken aback: "You mean, the old lady was hit by something unclean?" ”

Golden Needle Liu shook his head again and again: "I didn't say that!" After saying that, he took the medicine box and left.

At night, Mrs. Ding didn't sleep well all night, kept sweating and was awakened by nightmares. I woke up in the morning feeling a little hazy, as if I had really been sick overnight.

Just one night, the old lady was hit by something and spread all over Ding's mansion. The Wansan family, who combed the old lady's hair in the morning, saw that the old lady was sick, so he boldly said: "I heard that Zhang Tianshi is a guest in Baiyun Temple, and he will also dial one or two when he meets someone who is destined, why don't the old lady go to Baiyun Temple to worship and worship, and touch the blessing of the Heavenly Master, maybe your illness will be cured." ”

Wan Sanjia had a handful of sweat in her palms, she accepted Yujia's five taels of gold, and deliberately said this in front of the old lady, the old lady's temper was not good, in case she annoyed her, she would have to suffer, but for the sake of five taels of gold, she also let go.

The old lady was not angry, she also wanted to go to the temple to worship, but what she wanted to go to was not Baiyun Temple, but Fayuan Temple. She pondered for a long time with a calm face, and then she arrived: "That Heavenly Master is really in Baiyun Temple?" ”

Wan Sanjia said busily: "That's what everyone said outside, saying that after Zhang Tianshi completed the 7749 days of Dharma for the royal family, he went to Baiyun Temple and has lived until now." These days, Baiyunguan incense is flourishing, and big families go there to incense, and everyone thinks that even if they get Zhang Tianshi's half-word guidance, they can benefit immensely! ”

Mrs. Ding called Mother Li in: "You go and talk to the grandmother, ask her to arrange the carriage and horses, and we will go to Baiyunguan to incense after breakfast." ”

Mother Li glanced at Wansan's family, and Wansan's family lowered her head. She didn't dare to delay, and promised to go down and pass the word.

Yujia got up early in the morning. She was relieved to hear Li's mother come in and spread the word, all the plans were going well, and she was slightly relieved.

Yujia arranged everything, and when the meal was over, everyone got into the carriage. Yu Jia deliberately proposed to the old lady, saying that Brother Ye was sick and had to be taken care of at home, so he wouldn't follow him to Baiyun Temple.

Mrs. Ding immediately shook her face and went down, and when she spoke, she carried a gun and a stick, to the effect that her mother-in-law was going to go to the incense, and as a daughter-in-law, she naturally had to follow to serve, so how could she ask her mother-in-law to go alone because of a trivial matter? Now the mother-in-law is also a little unwell, and the daughter-in-law should be serving beside her.

Yu Jia responded very "aggrieved".

When I arrived at Baiyunguan, my life was really boiling, because it was a temporary intention, and I couldn't notify Baiyunguan to clear the field. Everyone took the maid and the woman to worship all the way from the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Yu Jia finally booked a private room and settled Mrs. Ding.

Old Lady Ding immediately instructed her: "I want to see Zhang Tianshi, you go and ask Zhang Tianshi if he is in the temple now, if he can see him." ”

Yu Jia went out of the temple, and came back after a stick of incense: "Back to my mother, the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple said that since Zhang Tianshi arrived in the temple, he has been in retreat in the ashram and has not seen any outsiders!" "It was expected, Zhang Tianshi is a fairy-like figure, except for the emperor, who in this world can see him if he wants to?

smashed the teacup on the ground with a snap: "This idea can't be done, what's the use of a daughter-in-law like you?" I know that you haven't looked at me now, and you wish I would die early, yes or no? ”

Yujia slowly knelt down: "Mother's words are serious! The daughter-in-law never dared to have such a rebellious mind! ”
