Chapter 142: Ghost Doctor
The trip to Tianxianglou made Ran Qiunian change his opinion of Liu Yunyao a lot, and even had a good impression of Qi Ruoyun. She said goodbye to the two in a good mood, got into the carriage, and went all the way back to the general's mansion.
The carriage turned a corner from the heavenly street, and suddenly saw a broken mule cart lying across the road, which looked like it was broken in the middle of the road, and there stood an old man and a young man next to the car, like a grandfather and grandson, carrying a patched burden, and looking at the broken mule cart at a loss.
There were many horse-drawn carts and ox-carts passing by on the streets, but no one was willing to stop to ask or lend a helping hand.
Ran Qiunian looked out of the car window and saw that the grandfather and grandson were thinly dressed, although they looked a little depressed with patches, but they were very neat and tidy, so she couldn't help but feel a little compassionate.
"Stop." Ran Qiunian stopped the coachman and jumped out of the carriage, and when the coachman saw that Ran Qiunian was going to go to the grandfather and grandson, he knew that she wanted to help them, so he followed.
"Old man, are you in trouble?"
Ran Qiunian walked closer and asked.
"Our mule cart broke down in the middle of the road, and we didn't know where to go to repair the wheels when we first arrived in the capital, so we have been delayed here for most of the day."
The young man standing next to the old man, who was only ten years old, spoke generously and generously, and did not feel uncomfortable because of Ran Qiunian's identity.
"Where are you going? This mule cart can not be repaired for a while, why don't you take my carriage first, and I will give you a ride, and when you are settled, I will ask someone to come and repair the mule cart? ”
It was windy today, and it was approaching evening, and the sun was about to go down, and it was already a little cold outside, and after a while, the sky was completely dark, and after the dew fell, it was even colder.
If you leave these grandfathers and grandchildren on the side of the street and ignore them, and sleep on the streets, with the thin clothes on their bodies, they will not be able to withstand the cold at all, and they will have to catch the cold.
"Girl, we met in Pingshui, why do you want to help us so much?"
The old man suddenly asked, Ran Qiunian didn't feel strange, and said with a smile: "There are also elders in my family, but I just compare my heart to my heart, and I can't see the old man suffering." ”
"If a girl is kind-hearted, she will be blessed." The old man looked at Ran Qiunian with admiration, and there was a smile on his face, as if he was extremely satisfied.
Ran Qiunian didn't take this sentence to heart, just smiled and thanked him, invited the person to his carriage, the three of them got into the carriage again, and the car moved, and Ran Qiunian asked where the two were going.
"Let's go to the General's Mansion." The little boy holding the luggage said something that made Ran Qiunian a little surprised.
"General's Mansion? But General Gu's mansion? Ran Qiunian confirmed.
"Yes, it is the mansion of Old General Gu." Speaking of this famous old general, the child's eyes were full of admiration.
"This kid has been determined to become a hero who defends his family and country like an old general, and if he had to take care of me, an old man, he would have been shouting to go to the barracks."
The old man explained a few words, but Ran Qiunian still felt curious, so he asked, "Did you two come to the General's Mansion to join your relatives?" ”
Afraid that the grandfather and grandson would feel that they had bad intentions, Ran Qiunian hurriedly explained: "The old general Gu of the General's Mansion is my uncle, and this carriage is from the mansion, if you want to find someone, I can help you find it together." ”
"We're not here to run to our relatives." Yu Qian, that is, the little boy waved his hand, and said with a little pride, "Grandpa is here to treat people, and we are invited to come." ”
"I don't know the old man's name?" Ran Qiunian's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask.
"The old elm acacia, because he often practiced medicine on the rivers and lakes, he got the name of a ghost doctor, I looked at the girl's complexion, it seems to be a disease of qi deficiency, if the girl can trust the old doctor's medical skills, let the old man cut all the pulses for you."
The old man looked at the stunned Ran Qiunian with a smile, reported to his home, and verified Ran Qiunian's guess.
Unexpectedly, the old man he rescued on the side of the road turned out to be the famous ghost doctor. Before he could calm his thoughts, he heard the ghost doctor seniors say this, Ran Qiunian naturally had no reason to refuse, and stretched out his hand.
"Old-timers, please."
The ghost doctor cut Ran Qiunian's pulse, looked at her face again, and asked a few seemingly ordinary questions, before slowly withdrawing his hand.
Ran Qiunian looked at the unpredictable look of the ghost doctor a little nervously, for fear that he would show the same embarrassment as the two doctors before.
Fortunately, the ghost doctor is an experienced old Jianghu, and although this soul-leaving disease is rare for him, there is a way to follow, and it is not difficult to cure.
After receiving the guarantee of the ghost doctor, Ran Qiunian relaxed and secretly looked forward to it in his heart.
The three of them returned to the mansion together, and after introducing the ghost doctor to General Gu, they settled down in a corner of the mansion and set out to cure Ran Qiunian's soul-leaving disease.
"After Miss Ran takes this medicine, she will slowly remember some of her past memories, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and Miss Ran still needs an opportunity to completely cure this soul-leaving disease."
The ghost doctor touched his beard and handed the prescription to her.
"Thank you to the ghost doctor seniors, but I don't know what this opportunity means?"
Ran Qiunian couldn't help but ask.
"You'll find out then." The ghost doctor said this, and his tone was a little meaningful.
Although Ran Qiunian didn't understand a little, when she wanted to continue asking, the ghost doctor had already packed up his things and left with the elm money that was a medicine boy for him.
Seeing this, Ran Qiunian had no choice but to retract what he wanted to say and put his gaze back on the prescription in his hand.
On the second day, Ran Qiunian received a post, the lady of General Wuwei's mansion invited Ran Qiunian to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to enjoy the maple, and I had heard that she had a very good relationship with this Miss Wu in the past, and Ran Qiunian did not intend to refuse this post.
"You are now at the critical juncture of curing the disease of leaving the soul, you should recuperate more, although the girl of the martial family has the same temperament as you and is a person worthy of friendship, but there will be many people at the Fengfeng Appreciation Party, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions."
Gu Zheng learned that Ran Qiunian was going to Miss Wu's maple appreciation party, and he had been to such a maple appreciation meeting a few times a few years ago when he was not yet in the office.
I have to say that the mountain villa of General Wu Wei's family on the outskirts of Beijing has a really good view of the maple leaves in autumn, but it has also attracted a lot of uninvited guests.
"Although the villa is the mansion of General Wuwei, every autumn when the maple leaves are red, the maple forest behind the villa can go to enjoy the scenery regardless of anyone."
"Miss Wu is not a domineering character, even if she wants to hold a foliage party in person, she will not invite other tourists to leave in advance, you don't have an incomplete memory now, what if something happens?"
Gu Zheng explained the pros and cons to Ran Qiunian in detail, and he looked quite uneasy.
Seeing that he was so attentive, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but smile and said, "I just forgot something, and I didn't become a three-year-old child, what can't I deal with?" Besides, I had already met Miss Wu once on the day I entered Beijing, and I promised to go to her appointment, so it was not good to go back on my word. ”
Seeing Ran Qiunian say this, Gu Zheng didn't persuade him again, but Xiao Yin said to Ran Qiunian: "Tomorrow, there will also be a banquet in Fenglin, and I will go with you." ”
Originally, Xiao Yin didn't plan to go to the banquet, but he didn't expect Ran Qiunian to go over, so he changed his mind, and with him nearby, he didn't expect anything big to happen.
"That's the best, with Brother Yin here, I'm much more at ease." Ran Qiunian was naturally surprised when she heard that Xiao Yin was going to go to the maple forest on the outskirts of Beijing with her, and she was more concerned about the attitude revealed by Xiao Yin's words.
Ran Qiunian knew that Xiao Yin changed his mind for himself, and with his temperament, it was really rare to be able to compromise for a person and change his mind to do things that he was not interested in.
Does this show that in fact, Brother Yin also has his own in his heart? Ran Qiunian couldn't help but think about it, and there was a bit of sweetness in her heart.
"Miss, there is a girl surnamed Ran, who said that she was your clan sister and asked to see her outside." The maid came in from outside to report, and Ran Qiunian knew that it should be Ran Yu'er as soon as she heard it, so she hurriedly asked the maid to invite someone in.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Ran Qiunian couldn't help but guess in her heart that Ran Yu'er came to the General's Mansion at this time, what was it for, could it be that she came to visit Brother Qiubai?
Ran Qiunian showed a narrow smile on her face, full of thoughts of making fun in person, but who knew that Ran Yu'er was here to resign.
"The New Year Festival is approaching, I moved into the capital with my father, but the ancestral hall is still in the splendid city, and the ancestral tablet will not have time to move into the capital together, this year's Spring Festival, I must return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, this go, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until the spring of next year."
Ran Yu'er explained carefully.
"Why did you go in such a hurry? If you say that you should not set off so early for the New Year's Festival, there are still many months to go, is there anything else? ”
Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask a few words, but Ran Yu'er just shook her head and didn't say much, in that way, there was obviously another hidden secret, which made Ran Qiunian very relieved.
"In this case, Sister Yu'er should always say goodbye to my brother Qiubai face to face, you saved his life, such kindness is not an exaggeration, this time you have to go for so long, he will definitely miss you very much."
Seeing that Ran Yu'er refused to say what happened to her and that she needed to go back to Splendid City so early, Ran Qiunian didn't force her to ask, and directly coaxed people to Ran Qiubai.
Maybe in front of Ran Qiubai, Ran Yuer can say more, besides, these days Ran Qiubai is recuperating in bed, although he doesn't say it, but Ran Qiunian can see that he also misses Ran Yuer a lot.
"Sister Nian'er always likes to make fun of people, what do you promise by yourself, what is this?" Ran Yu'er reprimanded in a low voice with a red face, her eyes were a little evasive, but she still couldn't help but ask, "How is Brother Ran lately?" ”
"Is he good, haven't you seen it?"
Ran Qiunian smiled and pushed people to the courtyard where Ran Qiubai was recuperating from his injuries, and vacated the place for the two of them, so that they could tell their lovesickness well.
"Where's Miss Ran?" Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian coming back alone, so he asked.
"I brought people to Brother Qiubai, the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot to say, so I'll come back by myself."
Ran Qiu smiled narrowly and winked at Xiao Yin.
