Chapter 151: Opportunity
Several gatehouses in Yuwang's mansion, in the summer, were sitting in the house to enjoy the cool and eat watermelon, and heard someone outside gently buckle the door knocker, and I didn't feel a little strange. This is a side door in the corner of the palace, and the outside is not close to the vegetable market wine shop, even if it is a maid and servant who goes out to buy things on weekdays, she doesn't like to go here, how can someone hit the outside today?
Seeing that several young people were still moving, Fang sighed, put down the melon peel in his hand, got up and went out to open the door.
The door squeaked and opened the crack, and I saw a familiar woman standing outside with a basket. The porter squinted his eyes, hurriedly opened half of the door and said with a smile: "Miss Qing hasn't seen her for a long time, and I almost can't recognize it when I change my clothes." ”
"Old man, look at what you said, what kind of sunny girl, I have been away from the palace for many days." Chen Yuqing returned with a smile.
"Come in, come in, what are you doing with a pestle at the door? Is it the wind that blows you here today? The old man hurriedly gave way.
Chen Yuqing carried the basket, stepped into the threshold, and said: "It's not like I've been back for a few days, I miss all my uncles and uncles, and I happened to come to the city to buy things, so I brought some fresh melons and fruits from the countryside to see you." ”
"It's just Miss Qing, you remember us!" The old man smiled and pulled her inside, and shouted into the house, "Miss Qing has come into the city to see us." ”
A group of men inside were stunned, and then hurriedly put on their clothes, the weather was hot, most of the men were open, and they were eating juice, and someone was coming, so they had to clean up.
Chen Yuqing also guessed one or two, so she just let her not go into the house. She only said to the porter: "I won't go in and bother, I just want to ask." Can the old lady be in the house? ”
"I don't know that very well," said the porter. "Although our north gate is closer to the old lady's courtyard, you know it, Miss Qing. People in the house usually don't come and go from here, so how can we know where the old lady is going? ”
"Then trouble the old man to go in and pass a message, and ask the old lady if she is there? If you are here, say that I, Chen Yuqing, will come to say goodbye to the old lady. Yu Qing said with a smile.
The old man nodded and replied, "It's not difficult, you can wait." After that, he called out to the porter in the house, brought a stool out for Chen Yuqing to sit on, and went by himself.
After a while, the old man came back, and he said to Chen Yuqing: "Miss Qing, it's really unfortunate! The old lady was invited by the prefect's wife. I went to their house to listen to the play. ”
When Chen Yuqing heard this, her expression was slightly gloomy, and she still smiled: "That's really unfortunate!" Forget it, I'll come to the old lady to say goodbye to the old lady tomorrow. By the way, I asked the old man, is your grandson's jaundice better? ”
When the porter heard this, his face instantly turned bad, and he sighed and said, "Where can it be good, somehow, the children of other people's families are born even if they are yellow and thinner." If you raise it, you will be fat and fat, but the roots of our family are now half a year old, and they are still sallow and sallow! Although our family is more bitter, no one has ever broken a child! The daughter-in-law's milk is also very good. But you can't get fat. ”
Chen Yuqing said again: "I don't know how many medical halls in Huaizhou City have been seen?" ”
"Naturally, I sent them all to see, and I took a lot of soup prescriptions, and in the end, I still spent money in vain!" The porter patted his knees and sighed.
"Old man. Let's do it, since everyone in Huaizhou City has tried. Why don't you try a medical clinic elsewhere? I am now working as a maid in a medical hall near my village, which is the newly opened Renhe Hall next to Nanhuai Academy. I don't know if you've heard of it. Our host's medical skills are different from the medical hall next to it, old man, you might as well tell the family, the child's matter is not a trivial matter, anyway, it is not far, just a few miles away, run a trip to take a look, it is not known if you can't say it. ”
Chen Yuqing's words really enlivened the old man's thoughts. The so-called rush to the doctor is better than not trying. Their family also took several years to spread out, and they got their first male grandson, who knew that after being born, they were thin and yellow, and they didn't get better. Jaundice in children is a common thing, and five or six out of ten children will get it, but I haven't seen any child who doesn't quit after half a year old. Not only that, the child's physical fitness is not very good, he often gets sick, and the whole is a constant decoction, and it is difficult for the whole family to sleep in a hurry.
Although there is no hope now, it is still a place to go, and there is no harm in trying anyway.
So the porter was busy and asked the address carefully, and then let Chen Yuqing go.
On the second day, his family took their children to Benren and Tang.
didn't attract the big patrons of the palace, only came to a porter, Yang Zixi was not discouraged, the so-called bite to eat, the road has to go step by step, she still has patience. It's all healing for her anyway, and it's not bad after all.
After examination, the child's condition is still stable, but there are some hereditary hemolysis, the main reason is that the child's parents are closer, the son of the porter is his cousin, and the cousin is a close relative in the 21st century, of course, it is considered a good thing to be close relatives.
After taking medicine and light therapy for the child, the condition was much better in two days. The concierge family is very grateful.
Three days later, when Chen Yuqing took the local melons and fruits to visit the palace, the concierge was quickly filled with people. There are hundreds of people in the palace, and they have their own family members, who don't have a few of these bits and pieces of problems, some are stubborn and difficult to treat, and some are reluctant to go to the hospital because they can't afford the money.
A group of people surrounded Chen Yuqing and asked questions, and even asked if they could meet Jin. Chen Yuqing responded one by one with a smile, but in her heart, she was worried about the porter who went in to report the news.
In the end, the porter came back, only to see him wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said to Chen Yuqing with a guilty face: "I'm sorry!" Miss Qing, the courtyard said that the old lady was invited to the Wang's house for tea today, and I don't know when she will come back! ”
As soon as his words came out, the chattering people in the room stopped talking, and some of them looked indefinite.
Seeing this, Chen Yuqing understood a little bit in her heart. She still knows the old lady's habits. Who in Huaizhou City doesn't know that the old lady is the most critical person in the palace? The crowd waiting in line for the old lady to befriend the old lady has gone. But the old lady has always been self-disciplined, always focusing on the prince, for fear that her words and deeds will affect the reputation of the prince, so she rarely responds to the invitations of others, and it is rare to go to an occasion that cannot be shirked.
Going to the theater before? Going for tea today? I'm afraid this news is not true at all.
Of course, the porter may not know that there are many rules in the palace, and there are rules for where everyone can go and where they enter. Therefore, if there is really any maid who is bad and makes a deception to him, he does not know whether it is true or false.
As soon as this thought turned, Chen Yuqing understood that the person who did this was not someone else, but her old rival Yuyan.
But this time, she is no longer from the palace, and she is also an outsider, so it's not good to be serious.
Chen Yuqing thought about it and got up and quit, it seemed that if she wanted to see the old lady, she would have another opportunity.
But it was said that this day was the birthday of the Buddha, and the old lady got up early in the morning and went to the Buddhist hall in the house to recite the Diamond Sutra. The people up and down the house were busy early in the morning, preparing breakfast and vegetarian food, preparing for the carriage and horses, and they were all busy. Today's day is not the same as the next day, even if the wind and rain fall the knife, the old lady is going to the west of the city to offer incense and participate in the Buddha's birthday celebration.
This is how many years have not changed the rules, the old lady believes in Buddhism, and pious tight, on weekdays in the house practice, but the Buddha's birthday is must go to the temple on the head pillar incense, the Buddha birthday of the Buddha every year of the head pillar incense has always been left to the old lady, only wait for the old lady to finish, only to really start the celebration ceremony.
The house began to prepare early, and the incense and silver donated this year, the monk's clothes and hats for each master of the Wozen Temple, and the utensils used by the old lady to travel, all of them are one that cannot be missing, and one cannot be wrong.
When the inventory was completed, the old lady's scriptures were finished, and the meal was consumed, she came out of the courtyard in a soft sedan chair and went to the west corner gate to change to a sedan car.
The soft sedan chair stopped at the door of the west corner, and the old lady had just stepped out of the sedan chair, but saw a person with a house to greet her.
"Greetings old lady, please." Chen Yuqing touched a stack of books and said.
When the old lady saw that it was her, her expression changed slightly, and she smiled: "Why are you?" Where did the fight come from? ”
"From home." Chen Yuqing said, "The slave maid entered the city several times and came to the palace to greet the old lady, but she didn't get a chance to see her. Today is the Buddha's birthday, and the slave knows that the old lady is going to the Reclining Temple, so she waits with her things early. ”
The old lady thought for a moment, glanced at Yu Yan, who had a bad face beside her, and turned her head to Chen Yuqing and said, "What kind of slave and maid are you called?" Didn't they all return you home? ”
Chen Yuqing said with a smile: "Serving the old lady is the grace of the slave maid, even if she returns home, she will not dare to forget it." In the past, the scriptures dedicated to the Bodhisattva on the Buddha's birthday every year were copied by the slave to the old lady, and the old lady also praised the slave and the maid, saying that the slave's handwriting was the most beautiful, and the Bodhisattva must have liked it. Although the slave and maid had already gone back this year, they thought that the old lady might not be able to find the appropriate scriptures immediately, so they copied it on their own initiative, and asked the old lady not to dislike it. With that, she handed over all the books she had prepared.
Yu Yan reluctantly took her book and sent it to the old lady.
The old lady smiled and took Chen Yuqing's hand and said, "You kid! What a heart! (To be continued......)
