Chapter 11 (67) One Thing After Another (1)
Shi led the third sister-in-law and the little sister of the Gao family back to Yingbo's mansion. He found an old steward he knew, guided them to the old steward, and asked him to lead the two of them to find Yue'er quickly.
They soon found Yue'er. When the little sister of the Gao family cried and told the story of the matter, Yue'er and Erya, as well as the eldest girl and Pan'er, the four girls were frightened by this terrible incident and turned white. They had all heard about the ghosts and gods' dreams, and they were even more convinced of it, and the Gao family's little sister's story immediately made them fall into deep panic and great uneasiness. Faced with the sudden bad news, they completely lost their claims in a panic, and would only cry with the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family.
The third sister-in-law had tears on her face, clenched Yue'er's hand and choked and said, "Sister of the Liu family, sister of the Huo family, both of you are the owners of my man." Folks, my man's business, you ......" The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, but her originally pale face became unusually ruddy, and her thin cheekbones seemed to be beating with two fires, so red that people didn't dare to look at it. She paused, gasped for a few breaths, and barely finished speaking.
“…… You can't care about his life or death! ”
She swallowed her voice and spoke, her voice was so hoarse that it was difficult to read, but the word "dead and alive" at the end suddenly turned into a sharp sound, like a fierce wind through the valley and whining against the mountain gorge! She struggled with all her strength to finish her sentence, and her throat gurgled as if she was choked with phlegm, and she let out half a breath before collapsing from her chair to the ground.
This freaked everyone out. Several girls hurriedly helped her to the kang in the inner room, rubbed her chest and pinched people, and were completely busy. The little sister of the Gao family took the pill that her sister-in-law usually ate, pried open her sister-in-law's mouth and stuffed it into her mouth. But at this moment, the third sister-in-law didn't know who was going to do it, and she didn't know how to chew the pills, and the little sister of the Gao family was so anxious that she cried at that time. In a panic, Yue'er remembered that no matter whether the monk brother was at home or not, the two imperial doctors who treated him came over every day with the bell and drum, and said goodbye at the end of the mansion, which was more punctual than going to the yamen to order Mao. Now that the time has passed, the two doctors may not have left; Even if you leave, you have time to catch up. She hurriedly called Pan'er's personal maid Rouge to run, and made sure to invite the two imperial doctors back.
Thankfully, the two doctors haven't gone out yet. When they heard that Uncle Ying's sister-in-law was sick, they didn't even bother to say hello, so they rushed over with the medicine box on their backs.
In Shang Cheng's eyes, the medical skills of these two imperial doctors are really ordinary, and compared with the Yixian Zhu Divine Doctor, the distance between them is more than 108,000 miles. But since the two doctors can receive a salary in the Tai Hospital, their medical skills are actually quite good, and they can pull the third daughter-in-law of Gao Xiao back from the ghost gate with a needle. When the third daughter-in-law woke up, she grabbed Yue'er and Erya and told them to save her man no matter what. Everyone hurriedly calmed down the emotional patient. Probably because of their profession, the two doctors didn't care about the ghosts and gods, and what they did was to rob the business of buying and selling with the Lord of Yama. Hearing that she had not used the prescription of the divine doctor, the two imperial doctors immediately came to the same conclusion, the root of the disease left by her when she was frightened was actually caused by her weak physique, and later when she came to see the doctor and grabbed the medicine, she met a quack doctor and mistakenly used the medicine of the tiger and wolf. However, because she has been sick for a long time and has taken medicine, and now she has hurt her vitality at all, so she doesn't dare to use it immediately, and she needs to slowly recuperate for a period of time.
The two imperial doctors considered prescribing a prescription for her, and then stood up and took their leave.
The eldest girl and Pan'er accompanied the sister-in-law to talk, and Yue'er and the second girl came out to see off the two doctors. At the door of the instrument connecting the front and back yards, Yue'er presented two tips to the two imperial doctors. The bag contains a small amount of consultation money, five taels of silver per person.
From July last year to the present, from Fangzhou to the capital, it has been these two imperial doctors who have been treating Shang Cheng. After getting along for a long time, they have some understanding of some things in the corresponding uncle's family. They knew very well what the status of the two girls in front of them was in Shang Cheng's heart, and they could almost understand their temperament and character, so they did not make excuses and accepted the consultation fee generously. When they said goodbye, they also kindly reminded them that no matter what, they should tell Uncle Ying about this matter quickly.
The two girls nodded indiscriminately and sent the two doctors away.
It's not that they didn't think to tell the monk about it. However, they opened a warehouse to do business, which was in itself against his will, but he pretended not to know if he didn't say it; The purpose of buying a ship to go to sea in Quanzhou is to make the business bigger, and who dares to talk to him about this kind of wrong thing? But now things are obviously getting bigger, something happened to the boat that went to sea, and the soul of the little third brother came back from a dream, and if he didn't say anything, it would definitely not happen......
Yue'er took Erya's hand and said, "You go back and take care of the third sister-in-law and the sister of the Gao family, and I'll go and talk to him." ”
"Oh." Erya was still thinking about something, and lowered her head and answered vaguely. She didn't hear what Yue'er was saying at all. She's so remorseful now! The matter of going to sea was what she did with all her might, who knew that it would cause a big disaster now! If God opens his eyes to save the life of the third brother, this matter is still easy to say; If the little third brother really wants to do something, what should she do? thought of the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family in the house, thought of her father and mother at home, and then thought of him...... She shuddered, not daring to think deeply. She raised her head and said, "You go back and take care of the third sister-in-law, and I'll go find him!" "Whether it is a knife or a knife to shrink the head or a knife, since you have to let him know sooner or later, it is better to say it now; Instead of letting someone else tell him about it, she should tell him herself! Hmph, even if it is a death, she has to teach him to know that she Huo Erya is not a person who has no responsibility!
The two girls encouraged each other, plucked up the courage to run to the front yard to find Shang Cheng.
But when they arrived at the door of Shangcheng's small courtyard in front of them, the two of them were dumbfounded. Gao Qiang Li Feng led the team, and seven or eight guards covered the small courtyard tightly. After asking again, I learned that Sun Zhongshan brought Shao Chuan, Zheng Qi and several other Yanshan generals to pay homage to Shangzhu State, because they wanted to talk about some military secrets, so they had fallen behind here. At the moment, don't say that the two of them can't go in, even Gao Qiang Li Feng can't go in and out at will.
The two girls have seen this kind of scene many times when they were in Yanzhou, and they all know how powerful it is. Military law is strict; In this case, it is not an urgent military and government affairs, and whoever dares to trespass on this courtyard will not be able to save the king of heaven. But their business is not a trivial matter! The two of them did not dare to set foot in the courtyard, but only hesitated back and forth outside the door; Gao Qiang Li Feng didn't dare to move around with his duties, so he had to persuade them to leave with good words. The meeting of the generals, whether they can stay here or not, is obviously not a matter; If this is investigated, they will also have to suffer military law......
The old knife on duty at the entrance of the hall soon came out. Except for Duan Si, who had the highest rank among the guards, he walked over silently, swept his eyes, and first asked Gao Qiang in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”
Gao Qiang and Li Bong stood up and saluted at the same time. Gao Qiang said: "Miss and Second Miss have something to do with the general. ”
The old knife glanced at Yue'er and Erya. This person was honest, and he didn't recognize anything except Shang Cheng in his eyes, so he muttered impatiently and turned his head into the courtyard. Gao Qiang smiled bitterly and said to Yue'er: "Captain Dao is angry. One by one, here's what, when the meeting is over, you guys will come to the general again. Success? ”
Yue'er and Erya could only go back in a huff.
After they returned to the backyard, they accompanied the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family, and kept saying some reassuring words to relieve them. Aunt Seventeen also came after hearing the news. She didn't care about the second girl who was beating and scolding and causing trouble, so she sat down first and persuaded the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family. She is an elder, and others can listen to what she says; In addition, she has a lot of experience and knowledge, and her speech is more tactful and pleasant than that of the four girls. Under her guidance, the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family finally stopped crying; But I'm still wiping my tears.
When Aunt Seventeen was talking with the aunt and sister-in-law of the Gao family, Yue'er and Erya kept asking people to go to the front to inquire about the news. But the news that the maids brought back again and again was that the general was still in the meeting. The two men were so anxious that they stomped their feet. Why are you still in a meeting? This is a real emergency! The two of them walked in and out of the inner room, and they were so anxious that they were going around like ants on a hot pot. This obviously affected the emotions of the Gao family's sister-in-law, so in the end, both of them were blasted out by Aunt Seventeen.
When it was time to get up and watch, the maid finally brought back a not-so-good news, the front guard had been withdrawn, but Sun Zhongshan and they hadn't left yet. Listening to the guards, the general had ordered the stove room to prepare wine and food for the night dinner, and it seemed that he was going to entertain Sun Zhongshan and them.
Yue'er and Erya didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly went to the front to find Shang Cheng. When Erya was in Yanzhou, she was called a "crazy girl" in private, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she was afraid that Shang Cheng would be angry. So she was cautious and wanted to drag her mother over. She thought, no matter how she said that her mother was also an elder; In front of his elders, he definitely won't lose his temper, right? But she is afraid of Shang Cheng, isn't Aunt Seventeen afraid of Shang Cheng? If it's something else, it's okay to say, Aunt Seventeen can naturally say something on the side. But Gao Xiaosan's matter of buying a boat and going to sea, in the final analysis, the "root of the disease" is that she took down Liu Ji Warehouse when she took charge of Yue'er, and she caused trouble first in this matter, where does she still have the face to meet Shang Cheng? So she made up her mind not to move, even if her daughter said that the sky would fall, she was determined to accompany the third sister-in-law of the Gao family here!
Yue'er and Erya had no choice but to face the coming storm alone with trepidation......
