Chapter 16: Life hangs by a thread

"Mrs. Yang, please be seated." Shopkeeper Shen got up and took a step forward.

"Where's my son?" The woman grabbed the shopkeeper Shen's hand, "My son is okay, right?" ”

"Alright, don't worry, ma'am. Young Master Yang is drinking tea in the backyard. Shopkeeper Shen patted the woman's hand and smiled slightly.

"How much? I'm going to take Cole home. "Mrs. Yang hardly listens to anything now, and only wants to bring her son back.

"Well, I don't know this very well, let us tell you about it. Master Hu, take Mrs. to settle the account. ”

"Yes." Hu Jiuquan, the bookkeeper of the gambling house, answered, stretched out his hand and stumbled into the back hall with Mrs. Yang.

After a while, Hu Jiuguan took Mrs. Yang back to the front hall, and when she looked at Mrs. Yang again, all the hairpin ring jewelry on her hand had been removed, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant.

Hu Jiuguan nodded slightly at Shopkeeper Shen, and Shopkeeper Shen shouted at the backyard: "Invite Young Master Yang over!"

Messy footsteps sounded in the backyard, and Yang Ke was picked up by two strong men.

"My son!" Mrs. Yang cried and pounced on Yang Ke.

At this time, Yang Ke couldn't see any signs of being beaten, but he was covered in alcohol, his eyes were dull, and he was unsteady on his feet.

"No eyesight! What is the pestle doing here? Help Madame carry the young master into the car! Shopkeeper Shen scolded angrily.

Seeing that Yang Ke was carried into the car, Shopkeeper Shen turned to Mrs. Yang and hugged his fist and arched his hand: "Mrs. Yang, I have offended." The subordinates are not sensible, and they ask the lady to take care of them. It's not too early, and I won't leave my wife behind. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper Shen, farewell." Mrs. Yang was slightly blessed, walked out of the gambling house, and disappeared into the night with the sound of squeaky carriages.

"Come on, come on, get the young master in!" Mrs. Yang jumped out of the carriage, beckoned the servants, and carried Yang Ke into the house.

Yang Ke is the tip of her heart, if there is no Yang Ke, the position of the mother of her family will not be stable. But Yang Ke is a good gambler, and he can't walk when he sees the card table, because of this, she, a mother, scolds him a lot, but after all, it is the meat that fell from his body, and if he doesn't hurt anymore, no one will hurt anymore.

"Where's the master?" Mrs. Yang grabbed a family member, "Where did he go after such a big commotion?" ”

"Sir...... He ...... "The family is spitting.

"Call me Zhong Yan next to the master!" Seeing that the family was spitting and spitting, Mrs. Yang was angry.

"Ma'am." After a while, Zhong Yan ran to Mrs. Yang.

"Where's the master?"

"The master is staying in Caifeng Tower today." Zhong Yan thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"It's not enough to have three or four small ones at home, and you have to go outside to sleep in the willows! Now his own sons are dying, and he can't even see a figure! When Mrs. Yang heard the three words Caifenglou, her heart was like a knife, and her tears couldn't help but fall.

"Young Master, what's wrong with him?" Hearing that the young master was sick, Zhong Yan hurriedly asked.

"Go check it out." Mrs. Yang cried breathlessly.

The inner room was a mess, pouring water, scrubbing the young master's body, looking for clean clothes, and the maidservants were busy. Yang Ke leaned crookedly on the bed, his eyes glazed, his mouth drooling, and the smell of wine was soaring.

"Ma'am, do you want ...... Let's take a look. Zhong Yan returned to the outhouse, stood beside Mrs. Yang with his hands down, and said.

"Go ahead......" Mrs. Yang has long since lost her opinion.

"Shaolang, I'm in an emergency, if I haven't come back on the fifth watch, you can go to Linglong Pavilion, talk to Mother Xu, and say that I will come over later." Rejuvenation Hall Doctor Si Duhan instructed his apprentice.

"Got it, Master. Master goes early and returns early. Shao Lang waited for Si Duhan to get into the Yang family's carriage, turned around and closed the door of the Rejuvenation Hall.

"Why are you here?" There was some tension in the sound of the night.

"I miss you and the kid." The man's voice trembled a little, "A few days ago, I heard that the Holy Lord said that he would choose the prince to drive the expedition on his behalf, you don't know how afraid I am that the Holy Lord will choose Yi'er." ”

"Yi'er is still one year old and an adult, and the saint will not let Yi'er go. Go back quickly, lest you be discovered. Tomorrow, at three o'clock, I will ask Yi'er to go to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, and you will take a look at it from afar when you go to ask for peace. ”

"Okay, then I'll go, you take care of yourself." After the man finished speaking, taking advantage of the thick night, he escaped into the darkness through the window and disappeared.

"Master, are you up?" The sound of the windows opening and closing alarmed the maid.

"I felt a little stuffy in the room, so I opened the window to let in some air." Zhang Rou said with his forehead raised.

"Master, go back and lie down, it looks like it's about to enter late autumn, don't be greedy for the cold, suffer from the cold." The maid hurriedly closed the window, leaving only a small crack, and then helped Zhang Rou back to the soft collapse.

"Doctor Si, how's it going?" Si Duhan walked out of the firewood room of Linglong Pavilion and saw Xu's mother head-on.

"Mother Xu, don't worry, this child's injury is inside, and it needs to be well regulated, I'll prescribe two pairs of medicine first, drink it and see." Si Duhan took the towel handed by Pearl and wiped his hands.

"Thank you, Doctor Si, please have tea in the front hall." Mother Xu wiped her tears and said.

"Thank you, Mother Xu." Si Duhan thanked him.

"Doctor Si worked hard, I heard that I received an emergency room in the middle of the night yesterday?" Mother Xu drank tea and chatted about hard work.

"Don't mention it, Mrs. Yang almost smashed the door of my Rejuvenation Hall in the middle of the night last night." Si Duhan laughed.

"Mrs. Yang? But Yang Huaigui's family?"

"Not really! The third watch ran to the Huichun Hall in the middle of the night and said that her son had been beaten. Si Duhan took a sip of tea and said.

"Yang Ke is the only son of the Yang family, what does the baby look like on weekdays, who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?"

"It's not that he went to play with money in the middle of the night and smashed Shen's shopkeeper's stall." Si Duhan shook his head and sighed.

"Doctor Si, this is your house visit fee." Pearl brought a mahogany carved tray, in which was placed a brocade bag full of embroidery, and it was vaguely visible that there were two silver dollars inside.

"Thank you, Mother Xu. If there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave. Si Duhan picked up the brocade bag, stuffed it into his arms, and said.

"Pearl, send it to Doctor Si for me." Mother Xu got up and was slightly blessed.

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." Ling Yi came to the Queen Mother's palace according to her mother's instructions, and happened to meet the imperial doctor to ask for peace for the Queen Mother.

"The eleventh prince is auspicious." Imperial Physician Jiang Quanyi saluted Mu Lingyi.

"Is the imperial grandmother in good health?" Mu Lingyi helped the Imperial Doctor to get up and asked.

"The Queen Mother is in good health, but Weichen just saw that the weather was getting colder, and came to ask for peace. The eleventh prince is relieved. Jiang Quanyi said with a smile, looking at Mu Lingyi's eyes full of tenderness.

"Doctor Si, please, save my son." Mrs. Yang cried so much that she had snot and tears.

"The injury is inside, it's not easy to treat, this decoction can't be fed, and the old man can't do anything." Si Duhan was not far from Linglong Pavilion, and was picked up by the Yang family's carriage to the Yang family.

"I said sister, don't embarrass Doctor Si, who doesn't know that Doctor Si is Bian Que of Lingcheng, and the young master himself should suffer a little if he gets into trouble." A delicate voice came from the door. Looking up, a woman with silky eyes, a thin waist of willows, and a fan in her hand leaned on the threshold, staring at the half-dead Yang Ke in the room.

"You get me out! Kitsune! Don't think that if the lord spoils you, you can be disrespectful. Mrs. Yang trembled with anger.

"That's it, I can't smell the medicinal smell in a room, I'd better go to the back garden to take a look around, scatter my heart, and add a satisfactory son to the lord as soon as possible." The woman covered her mouth and nose with a fan, twisted her waist and left, "It's better to have a son like this who only knows how to play money, it's better to have it than not to have it......"

"You...... You...... Wish for the moon! With Mrs. Yang's hoarse voice, a tea bowl smashed on the threshold and shattered, "Get out of here!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Yang Huaigui's voice sounded outside the house. Looking up again, there were still water stains on Yang Huaigui's shoes.

"Sir!" Mrs. Yang cried and pounced.

"There are more and more rules. Didn't you see that there were any outsiders present? Yang Huaigui's eyes were full of disgust, and he pushed Mrs. Yang away, walked to the bedside, looked at his son in a daze, and asked, "Doctor Si, is the dog still saved?"

"Yang Huaigui! What do you mean! Are you looking forward to your son being saved, so that you can have more sons with those foxes! Mrs. Yang cried and beat Yang Huaigui.

"Someone! Drag this crazy out! Yang Huaigui couldn't bear it anymore and called for the family.

"Let Doctor Si laugh." Yang Huaigui was slightly embarrassed.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Master Yang, the young master has injured his internal organs, and there is almost no skin injury, so he can only drink medicine slowly and raise it slowly, as for whether the young master can survive in the end, it depends on the young master's creation. To say something unpleasant, Master Yang must not be blamed. Si Duhan gave a deep salute.

"Doctor Si, but it doesn't hurt to say." Yang Huaigui waved his hand.

"Plan for the worst and prepare for the aftermath early." Si Duhan sighed softly and said.

Si Duhan's words made Yang Huaigui's heart pull out the cold: "Is there no hope?" Yang Huaigui's voice trembled a little.

"Alas......" Si Duhan stopped talking.

"Okay. I know. Zhong Yan, send it to Doctor Si for me. Yang Huaigui collapsed on the chair in an instant after speaking, and he didn't even know when Si Duhan left.

Although Yang Ke has all kinds of problems, he is his own son after all, not to mention the only descendant of his Yang family...... The more Yang Huaigui thought about it, the more heartwarming he felt, and he called Zhong Yan.

"Zhong Yan, you said this kid ......"

"Master, say something that shouldn't be said, young master, he is also to blame......" Zhong Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, he was only afraid that Yang Huaigui would be angry when he heard such a big truth.

"The son doesn't teach, the father's fault......" When Yang Huaigui went home, he already knew about Yang Ke stealing his ancestral jade, "But he is my own son after all......"

"Master, there's another way......"

"Say."

"Or ...... Tell the young master about family affairs, and give the young master Chong Chong joy. ”
