Chapter 7 I will drink the poison when my mother gives it
"Gui Zhishi doesn't dare to deceive your grandmothers...... Siping inquired clearly outside, and this herb was originally from the poor men who repaired the canal and pulled the fiber in Xiwan. He also took this prescription and asked several famous doctors in Pingzhou City, Fengjin County, and they all said that they had never seen anyone add this to medicine. The bitter herb is poisonous, but it is used in the meat bait when the mountain people are hunting. Later, I found out that it was a Taoist priest who lived in Xiwan who used it to coax those poor ghosts. Some wild children are cheap, but they eat it by mistake. In the county, Li Jiaoyu's family also gave this grass to the children to eat, and as a result, a smart little prodigy who could memorize a thousand poems at the age of three was stupid, saying that he remembered to eat and drink now, and people couldn't recognize it. Several doctors in the county are planning to jointly sue the official office to arrest the Taoist priest on the charge of wronging people's lives......"
Gui Zhi lowered his head and replied respectfully, biting the words clearly.
As the housekeeper appointed by the Xie family, she will not compete with a vulgar nurse in the fifth room without a purpose. If it weren't for the fact that Xie got the report two days ago, he decided to take advantage of this matter to ruin the prestige of the five rooms, and Gui Zhi was too lazy to make a fuss with Zhu's mother.
However, it was her own carelessness, and the fifth grandmother's shot was still as ruthless as a few years ago, and those sticks were really sticky to meat. Secretly counting the scars on his body, Gui Zhi knelt upright, one eyelid twitched.
"I've been to see the children in Xiwan who have eaten this bitter herb to cure haode, twenty or thirty, one by one, all of them! On the contrary, there are not many people in the city who have status looking for famous doctors, but there are many children who are buried outside the city! I think this herb for healing is still divided into high and low, and it can cure ......."
"Mom!" , Du Shi shouted anxiously, stopping Zhu's mother's gushing interjection.
Finished! I guess it's messing up the young lady again. Mother Zhu smacked her tongue and stood still.
Xie Shi put down the veil, looked coldly at Mother Zhu and Gui Zhi, who were kneeling honestly, and slowly opened his mouth, "What do you say?" I think Sister Yun is fine, I guess it's also because the prescription prescribed by Dr. Wang before has worked, and it has nothing to do with this grass. Think about it, the other children used the prescription prescribed by the famous doctor, and Sister Yun ate worthless weeds, so that the fifth brother knew, and said that we thought Sister Yun was not expensive, so we were so bad that we fed her poison ......"
As Xie Shi was speaking, Zhou Manyun slid down from Du Shi's arms in a hurry, stretched out his two small hands, and picked up the small white porcelain bowl on the table. Amid the shouting and screaming of several women, they gulped down the medicinal soup.
"Sister Yun! This medicine is poisonous! The fastest one rushed was the second aunt Gao, who had been sitting on the side like a transparent person, but she only grabbed an empty bowl. One bowl of medicine, half of the bowl went into Zhou Manyun's stomach, and the other half bowl was sprinkled on the ground in the pulling.
Man Yun let go of his little hand and raised his eyes to look into a pair of eyes with sorrow and horror.
In her previous life, she raised her second aunt, and she has always been so kind that it is unbearable. Zhou Manyun smiled gratefully at Gao's family, turned his face to the eldest aunt Xie Shi, but raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Niang, I think I am drinking this medicine and drinking haode! ”。
"This medicine is poisonous!" , Xie Shi stared at Man Yun condescendingly, and was cold. If it was in the previous life, as long as the Xie family glared, he would kneel down and ask for guilt, right?
Man Yun smiled lightly, straightened his small chest, and stood a little straighter. "I believe that my mother is for my good, she gives me poison, and I drink it too!"
"Good boy!" , Du Shi hugged Zhou Manyun tightly from behind, and after a while, he choked softly in Manyun's ear, "Mother has never thought that you are not expensive, you are the most important baby of your father, don't ......believe what others say nonsense, don't believe it."
Although Du Shi had been sitting calmly just now, he was actually only holding on to his mother-in-law and a few concubines.
Originally, it was just a matter of two subordinates fighting, but Xie didn't ask about the cause or the process, and only asked about the medicine as soon as he opened his mouth. Du Shi immediately understood that it was a hypocrisy to deal with Zhu's mother, and what she really wanted to ask about was her sin of refusing to accept the medicine that the public middle school had uniformly dispensed for the sick children in the family and letting Zhu's mother pick her own herbs.
Fortunately, my daughter believes in herself! The corners of Du Shi's eyes bent, all the grievances were swept away, and he hugged Zhou Manyun's soft little body tightly, warm and warm.
Zhou Manyun hugged Du Shi's back, she understood why Du Shi was so excited after she rushed to drink the medicine, and because she understood, her face was also fainted with a layer of shame pink.
Zhou Manyun dared to drink medicine, not entirely out of the support of mother-daughter love. She had long known that this medicinal bitter herb was right for her own illness. Previously, Du Shi and Zhu's mother fed her this, and Man Yun thought that they were using a prescription that someone had tried a long time ago.
In the previous life, there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and in order to survive, even the big families did not dig grass and pick up medicine according to the folk earthwork. She had fiddled with this herb before, tried it, and had the audacity to feed it to the critically ill girl who was thrown to serve her.
According to what was known at the time, no matter how much it was used, it would not cause death and stupidity, but it would affect people's memories to a greater or lesser extent depending on the degree of poisoning. For adults, it is terrible to forget things, and the future economy may come to an end, and it is indeed a ruined life. But children's memory is shallow, but it doesn't hurt to use it, and those who forget it will be taught slowly again.
At the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, the critically ill girl who was cured by drinking this medicine was named the lord of Qingyang by the founding emperor, and she did not live a good life.
Zhou Manyun's body will never be more expensive than the emperor's granddaughter, right? Pretending to be cowardly, Zhou Manyun hid in Du Shi's arms, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint mockery, covering the bitterness in his heart.
That's when she figured it out again. In his previous life, Zhou Manyun always felt that he was a stupid person, he remembered late, and he had no impression of the things in his childhood, especially the series of regrets of the Zhou family in the fifteenth year of Yongde, which were all told later and pieced together.
"My mother really thinks that her children are precious, so live for me in this life, and the unknown brother or sister in the womb!" , Zhou Manyun grabbed Du's shirt tightly, and her little face rubbed hard in her mother's arms, calling her mother again and again.
At the age of nearly thirty, Zhou Manyun was a little pretended to be a little strong at first, but gradually under Du's caressing, it became more and more natural.
Let the mother and daughter in the fifth room play the motherly and daughterly filial piety here, and the Xie family, who was disturbed by Zhou Manyun's sudden behavior, secretly pulled the handkerchief in his hand angrily.
A series of coughs from Mrs. Zhou came from the inner room, and when the sound stopped, Mrs. Zhou's voice floated softly from inside, "Sister Yun is different from other children in the family. She drank it, and other children didn't have to drink it. It's better to be cautious and ask Dr. Wang to take a look first......"
Sister Yun is different from other children? As soon as Mian Rou's words entered her ears, Zhou Manyun intuitively felt that her ears and eyes were pierced, and Du Shi's hand around her waist was obviously tightened. In one room, there are different expressions.
Zhou Manyun felt as if he had returned to his childhood in his previous life and faintly felt excluded. It can be seen that the memories of the young days in the previous life are true, but now when I look at it with the eyes of an adult, it is even more weird. weishenme is different? Zhou Manyun bit his lip and quietly noted down the question.
With Mrs. Zhou's final word, Xie quickly made it clear to everyone one by one.
Zhu's mother, who was the first to cause the incident, was only fined half a month's monthly money by Du Shi for playing with a shy face. On the contrary, Gui Zhi, who committed the following crimes, was fined a month's monthly money, and was also written down with a cane of twenty, just because he was now renting a house to live, and he would be beaten again after returning to the main house of Huo City.
Du, who concealed his pregnancy and tossed with his subordinates with his belly, was punished for copying the "Female Commandment" fifty times. Du Shi's face was bitter at the moment, and he was in tears.
Listening to Xie's punishment, Zhou Manyun quietly lay in his mother's arms and looked at the inner room that had never made a sound. The Mrs. Zhou Xie who was praised by people in her previous life seemed not to be the Mrs. Zhou who was holding a shelf and not trying the medicine test, so she didn't allow the children to drink it at all.
In their previous lives, did the other children of the Zhou family drink bitter herbs? Zhou Manyun also asked herself softly in her heart, she couldn't remember this at all.
But she remembered that according to the elders, the Zhou family was stranded in Pingzhou, and there were five people who had child plague with her, but she was the only one who survived.
If you think about it, it should be the bitter herb that has taken effect on the symptoms. But in his previous life, Man Yun vaguely remembered that he was drowsy all the way home from his hometown, and he was wrapped in a white filial piety dress in Huocheng, and he began to have an impression of his childhood, and this time it got so good so quickly, is it also a little weird to be reborn?
In the process of taking the medicine in the past few days, she did not have the feeling of dizziness and dizziness in the medicine qi when she tried the medicine in her previous life, but felt that the medicinal soup was in her stomach, and the wisps were scattered to her limbs, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort. Even if the illness has been cured, I still want to drink to quench my thirst and take poison to quench my hunger.
Zhou Manyun thought about it, frowned unconsciously, and Du Shi, who couldn't see it, laughed out loud, and gently pushed her two fingers between her eyebrows, "Little fool, I don't know what to think when I see the sky!" ”
Don't want to! Zhou Manyun sighed secretly, and raised her face coquettishly, "Mother, I'm sleepy, can my mother sleep with me?" ”
Du Shi was happy to go down the stairs, and hurriedly begged Mrs. Zhou and Xie for mercy and retreated, and the Gao and Min families on the side also got up.
"Five brothers and sisters! You wait! Xie Shi straightened up, and his voice was a little astringent in embarrassment, "I just asked the maid to invite a doctor to help you ask for a pulse, and you can sit down for a while." ”
Du Shi hummed clearly, and sat down again with Zhou Manyun in his arms.
The Min family, who wanted to stay to watch the show, stopped by the door for a while, but was dragged by the Gao family, "I have been waiting in front of my mother for a long time, and now that I have time, you and I will go to see Brother Huai and Brother Shen first!" ”
Yes, my son matters! The Min family, who was reminded, had a wind under his feet, and quickly put aside the careful thoughts of looking at the big house and the secret fight in the fifth room, which were also concubines.
