233. The Immortals Show the Way
Holding this thought, Wang Ben didn't squirm, and said straight to the point: "Wang has a personal matter, and I want to ask the immortal master to take a pulse for the relatives in the family." The immortal master is a great talent, and it is really overkill to treat me and other laypeople, but after seeking medical advice for many years, if it is not for other methods that do not work, I will never ask for the head of the immortal master. ”
Although Yuan Banxian showed a smile of embarrassment, he still reluctantly agreed: "Since it was recommended by Lord Zhao, Poor Dao will not refuse, who will let Poor Dao owe Lord Zhao a favor." However, although Poor Dao went to see a doctor, he had a reluctant invitation before going, and hoped that the two adults would be accommodating. ”
Okay, it's good to talk about the conditions, if you can talk about the conditions, this thing can be done, Wang Ben hurriedly agreed: "Don't dare to be accommodating, the immortal master, please speak, as long as the immortal master is willing to give up, he will not hesitate to go bankrupt." ”
Yuan Banxian frowned and said, "I came all the way to Xiada, and I haven't eaten yet, can I go after eating?" The whole deer banquet of this Luxian Building, the poor road has not tasted it. After saying that, he laughed.
Zhao Quande and Wang Ben, who were originally a little worried, also laughed when they heard Yuan Banxian's humor, Wang Ben hurriedly poured Yuan Banxian a full glass of wine, and said with a smile and compliments: "The immortal master is really a wonderful person." ”
Zhao Quande got up and urged loudly outside the door: "Little Er, serve the food quickly." ”
Wang Ben's house is just a three-entry courtyard, although the regulation of this house is not big, but the origin is not small, it is the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the prince Zhu Biao sent to Wang Ben.
In the evening, the two small sedan chairs stopped in front of the main gate of Wang Ben's house, the small sedan chair in front of it just stopped, and a middle-aged man hurried down inside, the man hurriedly ran to the back of the sedan chair, personally picked up the sedan curtain, and blocked the right arm on the upper edge of the sedan door, and respectfully invited the people in the sedan chair: "Immortal master, the house has arrived." ”
The person who lifted the curtain was the owner of this house, the prince belonged to the official Wang Ben, and it was no one else who got down from the small sedan chair behind, it was Yuan Banxian, who was famous in the capital and was known as the living immortal.
Wang Ben was in front, signaling the people who came up to dodge away, and he personally respectfully led Yuan Banxian to the last courtyard, came to the front of the main house, did not knock on the door, pushed the door in, and then respectfully made a gesture of invitation again, inviting Yuan Banxian to enter.
The main room is a suite connected to the inside and outside, there is only one girl waiting in it, the maid saw the master come back, and hurriedly came out of the inner room to greet the ceremony, Wang Ben asked in a low voice: "Madame can you have dinner?" ”
The maid was in her twenties, and when she saw someone alive, she couldn't help but be a little shy, and whispered, "It's useless." ”
Wang Ben bowed down and asked Yuan Banxian to go to the inner room again, and said as he walked: "I can't hide it, the main reason for coming here this time is to ask the immortal master to show his wife." My wife and I have been married for many years, and my wife has never given birth, please take the pulse and see if my wife can still have children? ”
At this time, the two had already entered the inner room, Yuan Banxian saw that a middle-aged woman was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and when she saw Wang Ben coming in, she only raised her eyes and looked at it, and then lowered her head and swallowed melon seeds.
Seeing the husband return to the house, the woman does not go out to greet her, and at this time the husband has returned to the room, you must at least stand up and greet him. But this woman not only did not welcome her, but what was even more excessive was that she was very indifferent to Wang Ben. Not to mention that Wang Ben is now an official, he is an ordinary person's family, and this kind of performance is too rude. Seeing the woman like this, Wang Ben's face showed an embarrassed expression.
Yuan Banxian didn't say anything, just looked the woman up and down. This is a middle-aged woman with a very ordinary appearance, in her forties, slightly chubby, wearing a pure gold hairpin on her head, two very thick bracelets on her wrists, and her clothes are also red.
In the face of Madame's indifferent attitude, Wang Ben did not attack, but said very calmly: "Madam, I invited the famous Yuan Banxian to come and show you the pulse." ”
The woman squinted at Yuan Banxian, then threw the melon seeds in her hand into the basket and sneered: "The surname Wang, don't you know your little thoughts?" When you meet people, you say that I can't give birth, and you invite so many doctors to see the disease, don't you just want people to know that my stomach is not angry? You touch your conscience and say, is my stomach not angry, or you don't touch me at all. ”
As the woman spoke, she burst into tears, pointed to Wang Ben's nose and scolded: "Now that you are a big official, and you are the prince's celebrity again, you have forgotten how you were cornered back then, and you have forgotten who saved you from being on the streets." Think back then, if my father didn't pity you and reward you with food, would you be able to live to this day? Have you forgotten how you kept your voice down in my house back then? You're a little guy who unloads the mill and kills the donkey. ”
Wang Ben's face was scolded by the woman for a while red and white, and without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, he pulled Yuan Banxian out of the room.
"I'm sorry, Immortal Master, I let you see the joke." Wang Ben frowned with embarrassment, and couldn't help bowing his head to apologize, seeing that Yuan Banxian didn't speak, Wang Ben grabbed Yuan Banxian's hand hard, and pleaded with an increasingly embarrassed expression: "The woman is unobtrusive, don't mind." There's one more thing I want to help me with. ”
Coming out of Wang Ben's house, he sat in a sedan chair for another two quarters of an hour, and the sedan chair of Wang Yuan and the others stopped.
As soon as he got out of the sedan door, Wang Ben smiled and said: "This is also a house, it is in the outer house, the immortal master please." ”
Yuan Banxian was stunned for a moment, the mansion in front of him was several times larger than the mansion that Wang Ben took him to just now, and judging from the scale of the gate and courtyard wall, this mansion was not much more luxurious than the courtyard just now.
Such a mansion, even in the capital, at least it is a high-ranking official and dignitary above the earl who can live, and this is actually the outer residence of Wang Ben, and what is even more puzzling is that the outer mansion is more luxurious than this mansion, which is really rare.
Yuan Banxian said with a smile: "What a magnificent outer house." ”
Wang Ben probably guessed what Yuan Banxian thought, and he explained lightly: "This is also a reward from the prince, I don't live here on weekdays, and Mrs. Xiaru lives here, she is now pregnant with clouds, please come here, I just want you to see, she is pregnant with a man or a woman." ”
Yuan Banxian didn't say much, and followed Wang Ben to go inside, and there were many more people serving in this mansion than in this house, but along the way, Wang Ben retreated from his subordinates and personally led Yuan Banxian inward.
When the two came to the main room in the fourth courtyard, Wang Ben personally pushed open the door and made an exaggerated gesture of please, which was more respectful than when he had just shown the pulse of Mrs. Zhengfang.
At this time, the people in the room already knew that Wang Ben was back, a middle-aged woman in her thirties, with three maids, stood in the door with her hands down, and respectfully saluted the two who came in. Don't blame the distinguished guest, please wait, the concubine has already ordered someone to prepare. ”
Wang Ben was very satisfied with the woman's attitude, came to the woman with a smile, and asked with great concern: "How do you feel today, are you still vomiting?" ”
The woman shook her head slightly: "I vomit occasionally, but it's not as bad as yesterday." ”
Wang Ben took the woman's hand and introduced Yuan Banxian with a smile: "This is Yuan Banxian, who is famous in Jinghua, I specially invited the immortal master to come and show you today to see if what is in your belly is male or female." ”
From the moment he entered the door, Yuan Banxian was observing this Mrs. Ru, and he had no intention of going forward to cut the pulse at all, and after walking around Mrs. Ru, he turned around and walked out.
Yuan Banxian's actions surprised Wang Ben and Mrs. Ru, and Wang Ben hurriedly chased him out and apologized in surprise: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, after a few weeks of bowing, you are tens of millions of Haihan." ”
Yuan Banxian unceremoniously interrupted Wang Ben's words: "Men and women don't need to look at it, you can't keep this child." ”
At this time, Mrs. Ru had already followed, and when she heard Yuan Banxian say this, without waiting for Wang Ben to speak, the woman rushed forward, hurriedly knelt down, hugged Yuan Banxian's legs, and did not speak, she was already in tears: "Immortal Master, they all say that you are an immortal in the world, you can do well, give a prescription, and save the child in my belly." ”
Wang Ben was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Why did the immortal master say that? Is there a remedy? ”
"It's not a matter of remediation." Yuan Banxian's face was facing Wang Ben, but his eyes were slanted at Mrs. Ru, and he said coldly: "Mrs. Zun's virtue is at a loss. ”
"What?" Wang Ben was stunned: "Is there a loss of virtue? Immortal Master, where does this begin? ”
Yuan Banxian bowed his head and said to Mrs. Ru: "I said a few things, but if one thing is wrong, you can refute me at any time." This is your third child, your first child is a baby girl, an illegitimate daughter, the child's biological father saw that you gave birth to a baby girl, so he refused to marry you, and you gave the baby girl away in a fit of anger. The second child, you gave birth to a baby boy, this time people want to marry you, but he refuses to help you to be the main room, you in order to blackmail the person, with the child who has just reached the full moon, but unfortunately the child is weak, infected on the road, you can't be cured, the child died. Am I right? ”
Yuan Banxian's words were as stunned as Mrs. Ru, she looked at Yuan Banxian in disbelief, and only said after a while: "How do you know?" How do you know? As he spoke, he fell to the ground and fainted from crying.
Wang Ben hurriedly leaned over to help, and Yuan Banxian continued: "If you don't raise a child, it will hurt Tianhe." Besides, Mrs. Zun's name has the word month, right? ”
Wang Ben replied without hesitation: "Yes, she was a very popular celebrity back then, and our locals called Xiao Yuexiang." ”
Yuan Banxian continued: "The word moon in Madame's name makes you too gloomy, and you lose your virtue, so this baby can't be saved, but it's a pity that this baby boy is gone." ”
As soon as he heard that it was a boy, Wang Ben was full of joy and sorrow, happy that his middle-aged man finally had a child, sad that his son who had finally come could not be saved, he knelt down weakly with his legs, and cried tightly holding Yuan Banxian's hand: "Immortal, you want to find a way, as long as you can keep this son, I will not hesitate to go bankrupt, I am almost forty years old, I have this son, if I can't keep it, I, I ...... I'm really ......, our Wang family is going to die......"
