Chapter 107: Hawthorn Longan
The white clouds turned into dark clouds, and it looked like it was about to rain.
The prefect hurriedly said: "Don't stand in front of you, hurry up and go to the house, let's ......."
But before the sentence was finished, the prefect's wife coughed, it doesn't matter if she coughs, the whole body is trembling, and her face is like a peach blossom just now, and it is like a flower that is about to decay in an instant, and it makes people feel distressed when they look at it.
And the prefect frowned, eager to bear the pain for the prefect's wife: "Madam, how are you now?" I said you don't have to come to greet you personally, you have to come. Now that the wind is cold, I hurry back to the bedroom. ”
Although the adults were counted, they didn't dare to say a word of weight.
So in this way, Shen Qingqing came to the prefect's mansion, and just drank a sip of water and hurriedly saw the prefect's wife.
The prefect's wife sat on the bed for an hour or two, and the whole body was fine.
Shen Qingqing touched his wife's hand and whispered, "Madam, you just said that the two of us are about the same age, otherwise I will call you sister in the future?" ”
"Naturally, you can." When the prefect's wife spoke, her tone softened a little, and she was as weak as cotton.
Shen Qingqing just wanted to speak, but a maid next to him took some fruit plates and brought them up: "These fruits are all freshly delivered, you can taste them quickly, and Dr. Shen will let her rest after a tiring journey." ”
One sentence attracted Shen Qingqing's attention, Shen Qingqing looked up and saw that the big girl looked very beautiful, and the maid was wearing a bun, but this bun was a little more gentle and generous on her body, but the eyebrows revealed that she was beautiful, and her every move was seductive.
I don't know if it's Shen Qingqing's illusion or what, I always feel that this maid's face is not good.
"Yue'er, you can put it here first." Mrs. said, Shen Qingqing only then knew that the maid's name was Yue'er.
That Yue'er seemed to have understood the rules in the prefect's mansion, took an orange to help the prefect's wife peel it, and gossiped with Shen Qingqing: "Doctor Shen, my wife's illness has been sick for several years, you will come over to see the illness and should stay in the prefect for a long time, if there is anything inconvenient, you can tell Yue'er, and Yue'er will make all the arrangements for you." ”
That's a good thing to say, but why doesn't it sound so wrong, as if this moon is the hostess of the prefect's mansion.
But after all, it was a newcomer, and Shen Qingqing couldn't say so much, so he hurriedly thanked him.
Shen Qingqing looked at this prefect's lady who was really thin, if it weren't for the gorgeous clothes and expensive clothes, her bones would have sunken out.
She didn't ink, and asked directly: "Madam, you and I are both women, if there is anything inconvenient to say, you can tell me directly, but please be blunt about your cause." ”
At the mention of this matter, Mrs. Prefect lowered her head, and for a while shame and grievance knotted on her brow, and after a long time, Mrs. Prefect said: "Qingqing girl, I don't hide it, I have been married to adults for several years, but I have never had a child, this is a knot in my heart." ”
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, in this era of male superiority and female inferiority, women can't give birth to children, so maybe how much gossip they have to bear, especially for high-ranking officials like the prefect, there must be a lot of people who chew their tongues behind their backs.
Saying this, Shen Qingqing understood a little: "Have you never conceived a child or what?" ”
"No, it's not." Madame clutched her belly, as if she had fallen into some kind of sad past. "I was pregnant with a child in the first year of marriage, but at that time I was young and had a miscarriage, and I didn't have morning sickness until three months ago, and I thought it was ...... I thought it was ......"
The prefect's wife sobbed quietly when she said this, Shen Qingqing hurriedly took a handkerchief and handed it to him, and the prefect's wife wiped her tears: "Doctor Shen, please forgive me, because this matter is too big a blow to me." ”
"Madam, it's okay, you speak slowly." Shen Qingqing took her hand, and as a woman, she actually had some empathy.
The prefect's wife took a long breath and shook her head: "I have no luck, I have such a loving relationship with adults, but I don't have a child, three months ago I have morning sickness and thought I was pregnant, but I asked the doctor to come and check the pulse, but the doctor said that I was not pregnant, and the adults were happy." Do you think I am destined to have no sons and half daughters in my life? ”
Madame's head was tilted on the bed at this time, and her beautiful eyes with tears were full of sorrow, and I felt pity for me.
"Madame, don't say that." Shen Qingqing wanted to comfort, but she couldn't say a word, and only she knew the distress in the prefect's wife's mind.
When Shen Qingqing just took out the medicine box and wanted to check her pulse, she saw another maid come in with food in her hand: "Madam, it's time for you to take supplements." ”
The maid was holding a small glass bowl with red things in it, and when she just wanted to feed it to the prefect's wife's mouth, Shen Qingqing realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”
The maid's movements also stopped and replied, "Back to the doctor, this is a decoction made of hawthorn and longan, and Madame also likes to eat and drink this thing." ”
The prefect's wife was also curious when she saw Shen Qingqing like this, and hurriedly said: "I eat this thing every day, this thing is very appetizing and sour, I used to feel that my appetite was not good, and I would eat it when I didn't eat." ”
"Hawthorn longan?" Shen Qingqing smiled while fiddling with the contents of the bowl.
This hawthorn and longan do not have any side effects, but if they are put together, it is mutually reinforcing, the medicinal effects of the two things are different, and it will make people's stomachs extremely uncomfortable after eating, these things ordinary people don't know, but if people who have studied medical books will definitely know one or two.
"Are these all things prepared in the kitchen, or why is Madame drinking?"
"This was arranged by Sister Yue'er, the eldest girl."
"Yue'er......" Shen Qingqing pondered these two words in her mouth, but she felt that things were becoming more and more interesting.
Madame felt that something was wrong, frowned and said, "Qingqing girl, what's wrong with this?" ”
"Madam, I think it's better to invite the prefect over, after all, this matter is not trivial, by the way, by the way, invite the girl of that month to come over."
Madame just looked at Shen Qingqing, although she had doubts, but she still did it.
The first thing the prefect did when he came over was to ask the prefect's wife if she was better, and the two of them said a lot of thoughtful words, and after a while, Yue'er also came over.
Yue'er still saw such a battle, her eyes rolled and she said, "Madame, but something called me over." I was just preparing the tonic decoction that my wife was going to take in the pharmacy. ”
The prefect was also confused when he was called over, and all eyes were focused on Shen Qingqing's body.
Shen Qingqing stood next to the prefect and pushed the bowl of hawthorn longan in front of Yue'er: "This is what you tell your wife to drink every day?" ”
When Yue'er saw this bowl of soup, her expression was instantly wrong, but at this time, she still had to pretend to be calm: "Yes, Mrs. said that I always have no appetite, so I asked the small kitchen to make a bowl every day, but what's wrong?" ”
"Naturally, there is something wrong." Shen Qingqing knocked on the table. "Yue'er, if I'm not mistaken, you should have learned some pharmacology before, right?"
"How do you know?" The prefect's eyes lit up when she heard Shen Qingqing speak. "Yue'er did learn some pharmacology when she followed me."
Madame's temperament is simple, but Yue'er's face is not so good, Shen Qingqing just said a few words, and her face was as frightened as chaff.
Since Shen Qingqing has found the source, he naturally refuses to let it go easily: "My lord, I think you should invite the doctor over, I have no basis for what I say now, Yue'er will feel that I have wronged him, the doctor's words are still more credible, and Yue'er will naturally be convinced when the time comes." ”
"What do you mean by that? I have always served my wife faithfully. "Yue'er has always been very well disguised, but when she heard that she was going to invite a doctor over, she was really anxious.
Shen Qingqing tilted her head and blinked: "Yue'er, I haven't said anything yet, I just asked this hawthorn longan, why do you have such a big reaction?" Besides, why do you suddenly kneel down when you know you haven't done anything wrong? ”
This Yue'er is thoughtful, and naturally it is well hidden, but she is still too young and has no patience, Shen Qingqing is just a fox tail in a few words, and the tail is exposed.
The prefect has been immersed in officialdom all the year round, and he must have understood one or two things in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the doctor to come over.
The doctor just glanced at the hawthorn longan and said, "I have been suspecting the fake pregnancy when I diagnosed my wife before, and I understand it even more when I see this bowl of soup." Hawthorn longan is mutually reinforcing, if you eat too much, it will make people feel nauseous and have morning sickness, so this lady will feel that she is pregnant, and if she keeps eating, I am afraid that Mrs. will not get pregnant for the rest of her life. ”
The doctor's words were finalized, and Yue'er fell directly to the ground, and the whole person was like mud as if her bones had been sucked away.
Her hands were on the ground, and her eyes were full of malice and unwillingness.
Beauty can also be a weapon, Yue'er has a good face, and it must have been a long time since she wanted to hook up with the prefect, but it's a pity that God is not as good as people.
