Chapter Forty-Eight: It's Not Good to Raise Animals
"Where has the princess gone?" Alai looked around and didn't see anyone, so he had to ask the guy who was cleaning the yard on the side.
The servant stopped, put the broom aside, and then bent down and replied, "The princess went out early this morning and didn't come back, and we don't know where we went." ”
Alai had no choice but to stomp his feet, and trotted to the porter, and learned that the princess had gone out in a carriage, with not only two maids, but also three guards, so he ran to the study to reply.
On the other side, Shen Jiahe had been in the carriage for a long time, and staggered to the place that Yao Xinrou said, and fortunately there were Pei Yuan's two guards, otherwise in this ancient country where there was no navigation, and there was no serious official road, if you go out alone, you have to get lost.
Cheng Feifei never imagined that Shen Jiahe would come here to visit her, and when she heard her uncle and aunt say that there were nobles in the capital who came to see her, she was subconsciously worried that Qin Xiaoshuang would come to find fault.
When he went out to greet him with a face towel, his eyes suddenly turned red when he saw Shen Jiahe standing in front of him with a smile.
"See ...... women," Cheng Feifei hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Shen Jiahe hugged her: "Hurry up, I just told your uncle and aunt just now, you don't have to be polite here, there are some villager friends nearby, the first one is that you don't want to expose your identity, and the second one doesn't want everyone to be restrained, so you don't have to be polite." ”
Cheng Feifei was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand again and again: "How can this be done, princess, you ......"
"Okay, do as I say, I should call you sister like Xinrou." Shen Jiahe dragged her to a small farm yard.
Cheng Feifei was still a little uneasy in her heart: "I can't help it, the princess is going to torture me." ”
Shen Jiahe looked at a sour jujube tree in the yard, then let go of Cheng Feifei's hand and walked over to take a look, and said with a smile: "You are also the sister of Zhuang Yuanlang, why can't you be it." ”
Thinking of her promising younger brother, Cheng Feifei finally smiled, and she hurriedly moved a chair and put it under the tree: "Then the princess will sit down, this sour date will not be eaten until the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, it wasn't too hot to sit in the shade of the tree, which reminded her of the scene when she accompanied her grandmother to peel edamame under the tree when she was a child.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the Cheng family and his wife were standing aside very nervously, and hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle and aunt go and get busy, I'm going to bother you today, if you need help, just tell these people, I'm here to talk to Sister Cheng." ”
Waiting for the two old men to leave, Shen Jiahe looked at the face towel on Cheng Feifei's face and asked; "Sister Cheng, what's wrong? Why do you have to cover your face with a face towel on such a hot day? ”
Cheng Feifei lifted the face towel a little: "Princess, look, I don't know what's wrong, I just grew a few days ago, but I also have a face in the past two days, I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't dare to show it." ”
It was a small red rash, which looked a little scary, seeing that she couldn't help but scratch her arm, Shen Jiahe picked up her arm, lifted her sleeves and looked at it: "Have you seen the doctor?" ”
Cheng Feifei nodded: "I see, it's not very effective, I itch a lot every day, and I can't sleep well." ”
Shen Jiahe looked at it carefully again before asking again, "Can you show me the prescription prescribed by the doctor?" ”
Waiting for Uncle Cheng to bring the pharmacy over, Shen Jiahe took a closer look, there are a few flavors of medicine in it that are still useful, but they can't be eradicated, "It's not a big problem for you, it's just ordinary eczema, because of the humidity and heat in summer, the moisture in the body can't be discharged, so it will be like this, and now it may be more serious." ”
She put down the prescription and called Bai Wei to prepare a pen and paper for herself: "I'll write a new prescription for you now, and let Uncle Cheng help you catch the medicine, no need to decoction, just boil the water and scrub it." ”
Uncle Cheng took Shen Jiahe's newly prescribed recipe and waited for it to dry, folded it and carefully put it in his arms: "Speaking of which, there are herbs on the mountain here, but we don't know each other, and the master of the herb hall in the capital has come to us to pick them." ”
"Really," Shen Jiahe's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then we'll go and see it in the afternoon, if it's true, we don't need to buy any more herbs." ”
"No matter how this works, it's all to blame for the old man and his mouth, how can this ...... How can you trouble the nobles. Uncle Cheng was a little uneasy, so he could only look at Cheng Feifei in a panic.
Cheng Feifei naturally stopped: "These are not worth a few dollars, where do you want to work the princess to do this kind of rough work." ”
Shen Jiahe waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm here to play and relax, and going to find herbs is also a way to relax, so don't persuade me." ”
After having lunch at Cheng's house, Uncle Cheng led the way in front, and Shen Jiahe took the group to the back mountain.
As Uncle Cheng said, there are really a lot of medicinal materials here, in addition to the herbs for Cheng Feifei to treat eczema, there are many other things.
These are all wild Chinese herbs, compared to modern artificial cultivation, the medicinal effect is not known how many times better, Shen Jiahe was very excited for a while, not only dug up a lot of herbs by himself, but also took Bai Wei and Bai Ying by his side, explaining the use of these herbs to them one by one.
After the sun set and the visibility was low, Shen Jiahe reluctantly took people down the mountain under the urging of Uncle Cheng.
Shen Jiahe and Cheng Feifei walked in front, and when they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard an exclamation behind them, and Uncle Cheng, who was worried that there would be wild beasts, immediately became alert, and when they all looked back, they saw Bai Wei sitting on the grass with her feet covered.
Shen Jiahe hurriedly walked over in three steps and two steps, and saw that her face was already white with pain, and her ankles were red and swollen, so she chuckled in her heart at the moment, worried that Bai Wei was fractured.
Bai Wei looked at her feet with tears in her eyes: "The slave and maid were in a hurry, but they didn't see the vines under their feet, so they tripped up." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, then raised his hand and put it on her red and swollen area: "I'll touch it later, see if your bones are hurt, you bear with it." ”
Seeing Bai Wei nodding and looking at herself, Shen Jiahe motioned to Bai Ying to help her divert her attention, and then quickly pressed down on the swollen area, and in Bai Wei's cry of pain, Shen Jiahe was sure that her bones were fine, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She called Cheng Feifei to put down the bamboo basket on her back, pick and choose in it, and found a few herbs to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis to apply to her, fortunately, she picked it when she saw it just now, otherwise it would be too late, and it would be really difficult to find medicine again.
Liuyu took the initiative to carry Bai Wei on her back, and the group sped up their steps, and finally rushed to the Cheng family's courtyard before it was completely dark.
Bai Wei's feet need to rest for at least three or five days, and Shen Jiahe also wants to see Cheng Feifei's eczema get completely better, and after thinking about it, Shen Jiahe decided to live here.
Fortunately, they brought enough things, and there were enough empty rooms in the courtyard of the Cheng family, so it was not so troublesome to arrange.
After dinner, Shen Jiahe personally went to boil the potion for Cheng Feifei, and instructed Aunt Cheng to help scrub it three times a day, and only after she was busy did she go back to her room with confidence.
Bai Wei's feet were still a little swollen, but they looked better than before, Shen Jiahe helped her reapply the medicine, and the master and servant fell asleep one after another.
The next morning, Shen Jiahe woke up in a burst of roosters and dogs barking, and in a trance thought that he had returned to his grandmother's house in the countryside, and only after seeing Cheng Feifei in the yard did he smile helplessly.
"How's your eczema?" Shen Jiahe walked out of the house and asked Cheng Feifei in the courtyard.
Cheng Feifei looked back and smiled: "It's much better, I scrubbed it once last night, and my aunt helped me scrub it again this morning, although it looks like it's still a subordinate, but it's no longer itchy." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, and then told her what to pay attention to on weekdays, and after breakfast, she took the time to write a letter to Yao Xinrou and shared with her her comfort here.
There is no need to think about fighting with others, and there is no need to think about when he will be called into the palace to act, in short, here, Shen Jiahe feels comfortable and comfortable for the first time.
Shen Jiahe is living comfortably outside, but Qin Xiaoshuang in King Kang's mansion is not so happy, since she drugged Pei Shu last time, a period of time has passed, but her stomach still hasn't moved at all.
She was scared in her heart, thinking that the queen also said that she was not in good health, so she moved to find a doctor, this matter could not be known to Pei Shu, Qin Xiaoshuang had to ask Bi Tao outside to inquire about the doctor in the capital, and then found an opportunity to go out and take a look.
After the doctor finished checking Qin Xiaoshuang's pulse, he stroked his beard and muttered for a while: "Madam...... Have you ever had a slippery tire before? ”
Qin Xiaoshuang's eyes suddenly turned red, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and nodded after a while, before Shen Jiahe entered the mansion, she was also pregnant, but she was pregnant twice, and she didn't keep it twice, and it was difficult to get pregnant again later.
"That's right, Mrs. has a cold physique, and pregnancy is already difficult for Mrs., and it also hurts the root of the previous slippery fetus, and it is really not easy to get pregnant later." The doctor sighed.
"Doctor, you are the most famous doctor in the capital, you must think of a way for our wife!" Bi Tao saw Qin Xiaoshuang's pale face, and she was about to kneel down for the doctor at that time.
The doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to the maid who spoke, and instructed the lady in front of him: "The old man prescribes this prescription with some warm and tonic medicinal materials, which can help the lady to nourish her body, and if the lady wants to get pregnant as soon as possible, she must also be open-minded, don't think too much." ”
After Qin Xiaoshuang returned to King Kang's Mansion with the pharmacy, he not only enshrined a son Guanyin in Qinxiangju, but also went out every day to burn incense in the ancestral hall far away from King Kang's Mansion, hoping that he could conceive a dragon son as soon as possible.
She also knew that she was too anxious, but now she had no other way but to drink medicine and worship the Buddha.
Pei Shu was noncommittal about this, and on the surface, he just persuaded Qin Xiaoshuang not to worry, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't report any hope for Qin Xiaoshuang's toss.
Even after occasionally warming up with Qin Xiaoshuang, he looked down at her lower abdomen, fantasizing in his heart that it would be good if Shen Jiahe could give birth to an eldest son for him as soon as possible.
