Chapter 089: Shuangjing Alley
Shuangjing Alley is an old street in Yongzhou Prefecture, named after a well at each end of the alley.
The people who live on the old street are basically the local land-sitting households in Yongzhou Mansion, and the kind that lives here for seven or eight generations.
There are more than a dozen families in the alley, all of whom have been old neighbors for many years, and they know each other well, and they have a good relationship, so they are really closer than relatives.
Early in the morning, everyone in the alley had already eaten breakfast, and the men should go to work, and the women packed up their homes, each with a basin, and went to the well, where everyone washed clothes and chatted about the short things of the family.
"That girl from the old Qiu family has been back for a few days, right? Why don't you go back to Shen Mansion? ”
"Could it be that he made a mistake and was kicked out by the Shen family, right?"
A woman beckoned to everyone, leaned over mysteriously and whispered: "I went shopping for vegetables these days, and I can always see Aunt Qiu, either buying pig's trotters or buying stick bones, they are all good things to replenish the body, you say, will it be ......?"
She didn't say the rest of the words, just sat up straight and gestured with her hands in front of her stomach.
Everyone understood what she meant at a glance, and they suspected that Mingyu had a body before she was kicked out of the mansion.
"Then what is the plan of the old Qiu family? Do you still buy delicious food? The heart is big enough. ”
"This quasi-insurance is planning to give birth to a child!" The woman who spoke just now had a determined look, "As long as a son is born at that time, the tide will naturally rise, and the mother will be more expensive than the son!" ”
"This aunt, as the saying goes, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't eat indiscriminately. Are you a doctor or a stable woman? Have you seen someone's body with your own eyes? If you open your mouth, you will slander people's innocence out of thin air, but you can really say it! ”
"Hey, we do our own laundry and talk, what does it have to do with you."
"You said I can't care about others, but you've talked about the maid in my room, and you don't allow me to say a few words for her?"
Shen Tianshu came to see Mingyu on purpose today, but as soon as he got off the bus at the mouth of the alley, he heard several women chewing their tongues by the pool, and couldn't help but retort.
"The maid in your room? Didn't she ...... in the Shen Mansion, "The gossiping woman only then realized that she was reacting later, so isn't this one from the prefect's mansion?"
Minghui said: "Sister Mingyu is to protect the master's injury, for which not only did she get the master's reward, but our girl also rewarded her with silver, not to mention eating a meal of pig's trotters and pork ribs, even if you eat it every day, you can afford to eat it!" ”
A few women who were washing clothes had staggered faces, not knowing what to say, and watched Shen Tianshu take Minghui straight to Qiu's house.
"Good guy, the Qiu family is about to develop, and even the girls from the prefect's family have come to the door in person."
Minghui stepped forward to knock on the door, it was Qiu Jun who came out to answer the door, and as soon as the door opened, he was startled when he saw Shen Tianshu.
"Oh, why is the big girl here, please sit in the room." Qiu Jun hurriedly sent people into the house and invited, "In a messy little place like ours, we are afraid of dirty girls' feet." ”
"I'm okay today, come and see Mingyu."
"This girl is really a great achievement, and she even worked a girl to come to see her." Qiu Jun said and led Shen Tianshu to the main room, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted at the West House, "Mingyu, come out quickly, see who is coming?" ”
Mingyu's injury was actually not serious, neither the vital injury nor the muscles and bones, but because the dagger was pierced on the shoulder, before the wound healed, her right arm could not move in a large area, so Shen Tianshu simply asked her to recuperate at home and return home after the New Year.
Mingyu was wearing her mother's loose cotton jacket and cotton pants at home, and she couldn't even see the medicine on the strap on her shoulder, and she came out of the house with a pair of big black cotton shoes.
"Who's coming...... Ah......" Mingyu saw Shen Tianshu at a glance, and was so frightened that she turned around and ran back into the house, "Brother, why don't you say anything in advance when the girl comes, what do I look like." ”
"There are no outsiders, what are you hiding?" Shen Tianshu went directly into the house, saw a lot of rags and needlework spread out on the kang table, frowned and said, "What needlework do you do if you have an injury to your right shoulder, what do you have to do, take it back to the house and let Ming embroidery do it for you." ”
"Girl, the slave listens to you, honestly recuperates at home, and wants to go home to serve the girl early!" Mingyu said, "This is my sister-in-law who wants to make a hundred quilts for my little nephew, I just help choose the fabric, and I don't need to do it." ”
In the east room, Mingyu's father and mother were also alarmed, and they all came out to greet Shen Tianshu.
"Second elder, don't be polite, let's talk about it." Shen Tianshu saw that Ming Yu's father was walking a little unwell, so he asked, "Has Uncle Qiu's leg been injured?" ”
"Yes, my dad accidentally fell from the car a few months ago and injured his leg, and he still hasn't recovered yet!" Qiu Jun replied helpfully.
"Is the bone broken?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"That's not true, but I don't know what's going on, my right leg hurts when I exert myself, and now it's better, and I didn't dare to walk on the ground for the first two months."
"Come into the house, roll up your trouser legs, and I'll see!" Shen Tianshu didn't know it before, but now he happened to meet it, and it was a convenient thing to help take a look.
Mingyu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Dad, you go and sit on the kang, roll up your trouser legs, and let the girl help you see, our girl's medical skills are good!" ”
Qiu Laohan waved his hand again and again and refused, and said, "I'm such a bad old man, how can I let the eldest girl show me my legs!" You can't make it unlike. ”
Shen Tianshu said to Qiu Jun: "You take your father in and change into a pair of summer pants, the thinner the better, I'll see it later." ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiu also said: "You old man, the eldest girl is so kind-hearted, she doesn't dislike you, you still pick up Qiao, enter the house, I will find you a pair of pants to change into." If it can heal your leg, it can also make your children worry less. ”
As soon as he heard that even his wife said this, Qiu Laohan went into the house and changed into a pair of Xia Bu's single pants, and came out with his legs twisted and pinched.
"Come up and sit here." Shen Tianshu pointed at the kang and asked Qiu Laohan to sit up, her calf hung down outside the edge of the kang, she reached out and touched it from her knees, and then touched her ankles all the way down her calves, and she probably knew it in her heart.
"Uncle Qiu, when you fell from the car, did the knee of this leg hit the ground first?"
"Isn't that exactly?" Qiu Laohan said with a shocked face, "How did the eldest girl know? ”
Shen Tianshu pressed his fingers against the bones in front of Qiu Laohan's knee, moved left and right, and saw the painful look on Qiu Laohan's face, so he got up and said: "I hurt my kneecap when I fell, but when I saw a doctor, I was only given medicine to reduce swelling and stasis, so now as long as I exert force, my knee will hurt." ”
Mrs. Qiu patted her thigh worriedly and said, "Oh, this is what I went to Hua'an Hall to see, no wonder people have said that Hua'an Hall can't go recently, it's a quack doctor there!" You said that we didn't know at the time that it cost more money to go there than other hospitals! Big girl, can the old man's leg still be saved? ”
"It's not a big deal, I'll give you a prescription."
Mingyu hurriedly went to the second brother's room to find a pen and paper and handed it to Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu wrote the prescription three times and divided five by two, and handed it to Qiu Jundao: "Grab the medicine according to the prescription, apply a hot compress for an hour every night, and it will be fine for half a month." However, you have to pay special attention this winter, you can't freeze your legs, otherwise it is easy to fall into the root of the disease.
