Chapter 26 About Concubinage
"Why?" Shopkeeper Song is even stranger.
"I'm ......, it's going to be tonight anyway!" Xue Fei'er twisted her waist to coquettish her father.
"Good, good! If you want it, but where can I find it for you so late? ”
Lei Zhutou smiled: "What a coincidence, Snow Girl, I have a female dog who has just given birth, and there are six in a litter, and when the puppy is older in a few months, you will pick one?" ”
Shopkeeper Song smiled and said: "That's a good dare, Fei'er, don't thank you Lei Catcher!" ”
"Nope! Now you want it, even the! ”
Lei Zhutou frowned slightly: "Do you want it now......?" ”
"Hey! Lei Zhutou, don't get me wrong, this dog is for Dr. Du, not for me, so I'm too lazy to raise a dog. If you don't believe me, ask Dr. Du! ”
Lei Zhutou looked at Du Wenhao.
Du Wenhao smiled: "Well......, that's the case, the medicine for your elbow injury needs to be used as a medicine for the head catcher, and this medicine is limited by auspicious days and hours, after tonight, you have to wait for some days, for fear of delaying the injury of the head catcher, so I am in a hurry to use it tonight." I didn't expect to dig up this flavored medicine, so I didn't mention it in the morning, but I didn't expect to dig it up, so I was in a hurry to find the milk cub's dog. Of course, I also want to have a puppy to keep as a companion, and if I can keep a litter of dogs for a while and find the best one among them, of course, it would be great. Fei Erguang knew that I wanted to find a dog in the back, but I didn't know about the medicine primer in the front, so I didn't make it clear. Hehehe"
Lei Zhutou suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Doctor Du, this ......, this is really troublesome for you!" It turned out that everything was still for me, and it was really a coincidence, but fortunately, the dog I raised just gave birth, which was really a coincidence. I'll send you the dog right away. ”
"Thank you so much!"
"No, no, I thank you a lot, Dr. Du."
County Lieutenant Pang was anxious to let Du Wenhao go to see the condition of his beloved concubine, and finally waited for them to finish speaking, and hurriedly interjected: "It's late at night, Doctor Du, let's go back to the city!" ”
"Okay." Of course, Du Wenhao understands his thoughts. At that moment, he got into the carriage of the yamen and hurried back to the city.
Back in the county seat, Xue Fei'er and Lei Zhutou went to the house to pick up the dog. Du Wenhao took the medicine basket back to his room and put it, and when he saw that no one was coming, he took out the tiger cub from his arms and stuffed it into the quilt, leaving a slit for ventilation, and then locked the door, and came out to Hengxiang Inn with Pang County Lieutenant.
The three of them pushed the door in, and Pang Mu had already heard Du Wenhao's footsteps, and stood up tremblingly and said, "Doctor Du!" You're here! Your medicine is really spiritual, Yu'er is more awake in the afternoon, and she still talks, but she coughs from time to time, and then she falls asleep after coughing, and then she coughs again when she wakes up, what should I do? ”
Du Wenhao said: "Don't get in the way, I'll check the pulse of the second grandmother and adjust the prescription." ”
Pang Yuqin made Du Wenhao a cup of fragrant tea, blushed and whispered: "Doctor Du, you have worked hard, please drink tea." ”
Her words were soft, so that Du Wenhao couldn't help but feel like a spring breeze, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, girl!" ”
Picked up the tea and took a sip: "Well......, fragrant!" It smells so good! ”
While she was talking, the second grandmother Yu'er on the bed began to cough, and she coughed so much that she was almost out of breath. The little maid hurriedly helped her relax her breasts.
Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "Quick! Help the second grandmother up, let her lie on the side of the bed and cough, pat her back, and let her cough up the phlegm! ”
The two little maids who were close to her body helped the second grandmother to turn over and lie on her stomach, making her cough, and the little maid also used a snow-white handkerchief to catch the phlegm.
The second grandmother Yu'er coughed very hard, and after coughing, she lay on her back on the bed with the help of the maid, panting constantly. With his eyes closed, his high chest rising and falling.
The maid was about to take out the phlegm-stained handkerchief and throw it away, but Du Wenhao stopped her: "Give me the handkerchief!" ”
took the handkerchief and unfolded it, carefully checked the sputum on the handkerchief, it was yellow and bloodshot, there was a fishy smell, Du Wenhao nodded, this is a lung infection caused by sepsis, and he can already cough up phlegm, and the righteous qi in the patient's body has been enhanced, which is a good sign, and now he only needs to continue to reduce inflammation in large doses. Du Wenhao sat down on the stool next to the bed, stretched out his three fingers to take the pulse to concentrate on the diagnosis, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Second grandma is currently recovering well, and I will make some fine-tuning of the morning prescription in a while, further replenish qi and nourish blood, support poison and muscle, and should continue to improve." ”
Lieutenant Pang was overjoyed, stroked his beard and smiled, and Pang Yuqin also happily said in Pang's mother's ear: "Doctor Du said that my aunt will get better, and she wants to open a new prescription!" ”
"New house? Dr. Du doesn't have a house to live in? This is a bit troublesome, it's not that grandma picks the door, this marries a man and marries a man, dresses and eats, you marry the Du family, naturally the Du family prepares a new house, if we marry a new house, it won't become a door-to-door son-in-law, this can't be done, so that you can meet others, and start a family on your own, this is what men should do. Dr. Du! You said no? ”
Du Wenhao's face was feverish, he laughed dryly, and said: "The old lady is right, marrying a wife and taking a concubine, of course, is self-reliant......"
"Concubine?" Lieutenant Pang coughed lightly twice, "Doctor Du still wants to take a concubine after marrying Qin'er?" ”
"Hehe, this ......"
"My Qin'er is dignified and virtuous, in the future, my husband and children, inherit your Du family's incense, if Dr. Du is still not satisfied, he wants to marry a two-bedroom and three-bedroom person, and if he wrongs Qin'er, we will not agree."
The words of marrying a wife and taking a concubine are what Du Wenhao said casually just now, and after finishing speaking, he found that something was wrong, and he wanted to explain it, but listening to the words of the county lieutenant Pang seemed to have some threatening meaning in it, he couldn't help but be a little angry, thinking that I haven't agreed to marry your daughter, this is all behind the ears of the old lady of your family, and she has been trying to give me her daughter, how can she restrain me, arched her hand, and said with a faint smile: "Du was born humble, coupled with drifting all over the world, he acted rashly in trouble, since the county lieutenant disdains Du, Du does not dare to climb high, This family affair was just a casual talk by the old lady, and she didn't say that the matchmaker was hired, so she laughed it off, and never mentioned it again in the future! ”
Lieutenant Pang was stunned for a moment, his face was angry, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
When Pang Yuqin heard this, she hid her face and wept, stepped into the back room, closed the door, threw herself on the bed and whimpered and cried.
Pang Mu was surprised: "What's the matter? Why are you crying? Son, why didn't you say yes? My mother didn't hear it clearly, why didn't I hear that Dr. Du seemed to be very unhappy, my mother could say ugly things to the front, if you say anything nonsense, annoying Dr. Du, my mother will not agree! ”
"Mother!" Lieutenant Pang walked over, leaned into Pang's mother's ear and said loudly: "Doctor Du said that after marrying Qin'er, he will prepare to take a concubine!" ”
Now Pang Mu heard it clearly, and said in surprise: "Concubine? ”
"Yes! Isn't this a grievance for Qin'er! The county lieutenant said loudly in his mother's ear.
Pang's mother shook her head: "Son, what you said is not right, Qin'er married to the Du family, that is the person of the Du family, our Song Dynasty is a rich family, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines?" As long as Qin'er is virtuous and not jealous, and can get along in harmony, it is not a good thing, son, didn't you also accept Yu'er as a concubine? What can you do, Dr. Du can't do? ”
"But I'm the county lieutenant of a county, he's just a sitting doctor!"
When Du Wenhao heard this, he was depressed, and said in a deep voice: "Lord County Lieutenant, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I am destined to be a sitting doctor in my life, and I am not worthy of Ling Yan, the kindness of the old lady and the adult Du Mou has a heart, and Du Mou is a grass person, and he does not dare to climb high, so don't mention this matter in the future." Don't worry, no matter what, I will try my best to treat my second grandmother. ”
After that, Du Wenhao flicked his robe, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the pen to write a prescription, found that the ink on the inkstone had dried up, picked up the cup next to him and poured a little water, grabbed the pine smoke ink to grind, and the maid next to him was busy to help grind the ink, Du Wenhao didn't pay attention to it, and studied the ink in a muffled voice.
Lieutenant Pang and Liu, and the second daughter were all embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
