Chapter 8: The Disease of Inadequacy
"Sun Daochang doesn't have to be so worried, Niangniang's health is not a year or two, presumably Your Majesty can also understand Sun Daochang." Zhong Zishuo thought that Sun Simiao was worried that Empress Li Shimin would blame him if he couldn't cure him.
Xuan Shijing didn't worry about this, and Li Shimin's mind was not like this.
"Sun Daochang, the queen's qi disease is indeed incurable, Shi Jing once read in an ancient book, qi disease can only be slowly recuperated, from the daily living environment and food."
Sun Simiao listened to Xuan Shijing's words and thoughtfully: "What the little marquis said is right, the queen mother is so virtuous, but now she is lingering on the sickbed, which is really regrettable." ”
When he arrived in Chang'an City, it was already evening, Xuan Shijing asked Zhong Zishuo to drive Xiaolian and her mother to the hospital, and Sun Simiao wrote a prescription on the spot for people to catch the medicine.
"Daochang Sun, it's getting late, and Daochang doesn't have a place to stay in Chang'an, why don't you go to the mansion to stay temporarily, the Hou Mansion is not far from the palace, and it is more convenient for the Taoist to enter the palace for the queen's mother to be treated." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes, Daochang Sun, you came to Chang'an mainly to treat the queen's mother, and if you live in a guest house, it's not convenient." Zhong Zishuo also tried his best to keep it.
"This ......" Sun Simiao hesitated again and again, and had to agree: "Then bother the house." ”
Xiaolian's mother drank Sun Simiao's medicine, and she was already much better, Xiaolian held the remaining medicinal materials in one hand, and supported her mother in the other, and stepped forward to bless her body: "Xiaolian once again thanked all the benefactors for saving their lives. ”
"Miss Xiaolian, you don't have to be polite, it looks like you just came to Chang'an City, but you came to join your relatives?" Sun Simiao asked.
Xiaolian's mother shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Our mother and son fled from Hebei, and the clumsy husband died on the battlefield three years ago, leaving us two years behind, these two years have been a big drought and locust plague, a few days ago, Xiaolian made the bullies in the village take a fancy to it, this day is really unbearable, so she sold her property and prepared to come to Chang'an to find a big family to work, at least she can survive." ”
Speaking of the sad part, the woman couldn't help crying, and Xiaolian also sobbed.
Xuan Shijing sighed silently in his heart, and then said: "That's it, you are also poor people, since you are going to work in a large household, so let's do it, if you are willing, go back to the Hou Mansion with me, and let Uncle Zhong arrange an errand for you. ”
As soon as the woman heard that she and her daughter had a way out, she immediately wiped away the tears on her face and knelt down for Xuan Shijing: "Thank you Hou Ye, thank you Hou Ye." As he spoke, he dragged his daughter: "Xiaolian, kneel down and thank Master Hou." ”
"Okay, okay, let's all get up, it's getting dark, don't delay any longer, let's go." Xuan Shijing hurriedly spoke out to stop it, this thank you came and went, when will the ink be inked.
Xuan Shijing and Sun Simiao got into the carriage, Zhong Zishuo led the horse in front, and Xiaolian followed her mother behind Zhong Zishuo.
At the gate of Xuanwei Hou's Mansion, Long'er looked at the carriage not far away, and her face was instantly happy: "The little Hou Ye is back." ”
The carriage stopped at the door, and Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing his little head.
Long'er immediately ran over and hugged Xuan Shijing down.
"Little Hou Ye, you can be regarded as back, why did it take so long." Long'er put Xuan Shijing on the ground and arranged some wrinkled clothes for him.
"Something happened on the way." Xuan Shijing said.
At this time, Sun Simiao had already gotten off the carriage, and Xuan Shijing said to Long'er again: "This is Daochang Sun, a distinguished guest in our house, Long'er, you order to go down and clean up a courtyard for Daochang Sun." ”
"Yes, little marquis." Long'er replied.
"Daochang Sun, it's time for dinner, today you will dine with the little marquis and his wife, presumably his wife will be very happy to see you." Zhong Zishuo said.
"Poor Dao and Mrs. Xuan haven't seen each other for many years, so Poor Dao is disrespectful." Sun Simiao happily agreed.
Mother also knows Sun Daochang? Xuan Shijing only felt that everyone in his family was powerful, whether he pulled out a random person on the street, and everyone in the house could say one, two, or three.
"It turns out that Sun Daochang and his mother are still old acquaintances." Xuan Shijing said: "That's better, Daochang Sun can live in the house with peace of mind, since Sister Xiaolian's mother and daughter were saved by you, and the two of them are going to work in my mansion, so let's do it, Sister Xiaolian will be Daochang's maid first, Uncle Zhong, Sister Xiaolian's mother, you just look at the arrangement." ”
"Yes, little marquis." Zhong Zishuo stood behind Xuan Shijing: "Long'er, you take the little marquis and Sun Daochang to see Mrs. first, and I will go and order my subordinates to clean up the yard, and then go to the kitchen to see dinner." ”
"Yes, little Hou Ye, Sun Daochang, let's go, Madam is now waiting in the hall for Hou Ye to come back for dinner." Long'er walked to the hall with Xuan Shijing and Sun Simiao.
In the hall, some side dishes and a few bowls of porridge had been prepared on the table, and as soon as Xuan Shijing entered the hall, he saw that Wang was sitting on the top.
"Mother, I'm back, you see, who's coming." Xuan Shijing walked to Wang's side.
"It's good to be back." Wang looked at Xuan Shijing dotingly, then looked up, and the moment he saw Sun Simiao, his face was full of surprise: "Brother Sun! ”
Xuan Shijing's face was full of surprise, big brother?
"Little sister, long time no see." Sun Simiao smiled.
At this time, the Wang family had not yet come out of the surprise, and Xuan Shijing gently pulled his mother's sleeve: "Mother, let's eat first, sit down and talk while eating, Jing'er is hungry." Xuan Shijing tilted his little head and looked at the Wang family pitifully.
Xuan Shijing shouted in his heart: This is definitely not selling cuteness! From the morning to now, most of the day has passed, and a child who is growing up is of course hungry if he has not eaten for so long!
"Yes, yes, you see, I forgot what I was happy about, Brother Sun, come, sit down quickly, let's talk while eating." Wang hurriedly asked Sun Simiao to sit down, and then instructed Long'er: "Long'er, go to the kitchen and let the kitchen cook more vegetarian food." ”
"Madame, don't worry, Steward Zhong has already gone to the kitchen to order." Long'er said with a chuckle.
The servants brought the food one after another, Xuan Shijing didn't care that there were outsiders present, grabbed a steamed bun with his little hand, scooped some vegetables with a spoon and put them in the bowl in front of him and began to eat, looking really hungry.
After three rounds of dishes, Wang talked to Sun Simiao.
"Brother Sun, you have been traveling for many years, how did you think of going back to Chang'an this time?"
"I responded to His Majesty's call to go to the palace to see the queen's mother, little sister, this time I met Ling Lang on the road, and found that Ling Lang was in a little wrong." Sun Simiao's face was serious.
"Huh? Brother Sun, what serious illness does Jing'er have? Sun Simiao's opening scared the Wang family a lot, and Xuan Shijing was now all her hope for life.
"Little sister, don't panic, listen to the eldest brother tell you slowly." Sun Simiao said: "Big brother knows, when you were only three months pregnant with Jing'er, Brother Mingde unfortunately died, you were overly sad, and you had fetal gas, and within a few days, you left for this Chang'an. ”
"Brother Sun, how is this good, Jing'er...... Is he okay? When Wang heard Sun Simiao say this, he remembered what happened back then, but he didn't expect that at that time, he didn't pay attention to his own child, but he brought out the deficiency disease from the mother's womb.
"Fortunately, Ling Lang is still young now, and timely conditioning is not a big problem, for my brother to come to Chang'an this time, I will live in Chang'an for a while, while the queen can see a doctor, and on the other hand, I can take care of Ling Lang and give him a condition."
"In this way, there will be Brother Lao." When Wang heard Sun Simiao say this, he put down most of his hanging heart, but he was still faintly worried, looking at Xuan Shijing, who was still gobbling up, his eyes were kind, and he said softly: "Jing'er, eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
