Chapter 704: Zhang Wenming's Death (Part II)
Although Zhang Jingxiu was very anxious when he asked about his grandfather's condition, Dr. Mei still heard a hint of strangeness in his tone, as if he was not concerned about whether Zhang Wenming's illness could be cured, but about something else. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the old doctor naturally won't break this point at the moment, so he touched his beard and said: "The old lady's disease is really a bit serious, especially this year's climate, which has a great impact on his body." Of course, the old man can prescribe a prescription to recuperate the old lady, so that he will not have any problems for the time being. But ......" said this, and he began with a slight pause.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Jingxiu's expression suddenly had a hint of joy. But then he found that the other party still had something to say, and his heart was tense again, and he quickly asked, "But what?" ”
"However, the old lady's body is too weak, but she still has some consciousness, and she can't stand the interference of the outside world. Therefore, during the period of recuperation, it is most taboo to be furious, or to be frightened by something. If this kind of thing really happens, I'm afraid that even Hua Tuo Bian Que will not be able to save the old lady if he is reborn. Doctor Mei whispered: "So in the old man's opinion, during this time, everyone who serves in front of the old lady must try to be as careful as possible, and there must be no mistakes." ”
When Zhang Jingxiu heard what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing. In fact, several doctors have said the same thing before, so recently, I have been extra careful when I talk and do things in Zhangfu, for fear of shocking my grandfather. Since you said so, Dr. May, I will tell the people below to be more careful. ”
"Naturally, that's for the best. But this disease has entered the old lady's fat, so it is not an overnight thing to recuperate, you have to be prepared. ”
"Everything is at the doctor's command." Zhang Jingxiu arched his hand at him. Then, I thought of something and asked a little eagerly: "But I don't know if my grandfather can be cured of this disease?" After your diagnosis and treatment, how much better can he go? ”
"This ......" Dr. Mei hesitated for a moment, and he really didn't dare to say something to the other party. After all, the status of the Zhang family is too high, even a famous doctor like him will be a little nervous when facing the eldest son of the Zhang family, for fear of saying something wrong and causing the other party's anger. However, as a doctor, these words related to patients and families have to be said, so after muttering for a while, he still said honestly: "This disease is impossible to cure, the old man can try his best to alleviate the pain of the old lady, and at the same time let him do some small things." But it is impossible to act like ordinary people, and if you are well recuperated, you may be able to speak and move, but you can't get down; And if something goes wrong again, I'm afraid of ......"
"Is that so?" Zhang Jingxiu's eyes flashed, and then he slammed the old doctor to the ground again: "So there is Dr. Lao." As long as I can save my grandfather's life, nothing else is a problem, and my Zhang family will definitely remember your kindness, Doctor Mei. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Dr. Mei hurriedly waved his hand and said, but at the same time, the strange feeling in his heart was heavier. He always felt that when he said those words, Zhang Jingxiu seemed to be a little excited, as if this was the result he was most happy to see.
It is too strange and cold-blooded for a grandson to be happy to see his grandfather seriously ill and unable to live on the ground. But Dr. Mei, who was in Zhang's mansion, didn't dare to expose the thoughts in his heart, so he could only nod, and then called his apprentice, and the two of them wrote a prescription in the hall on the side and handed it to the Zhang family's subordinates to prepare.
And Zhang Jingxiu, after doing all this, accompanied his grandfather for a while, and then returned to his own courtyard. When he was alone in the room, he had a relieved smile on his face.
Some people thought that he would smile like this because he was happy that his grandfather's condition was stable. In fact, this is not the case, for him, his grandfather's condition is not the best result, like the present, he will not even be able to go out of the backyard in the future, which is the best result for him and the entire Zhang family.
As Zhang Juzheng's son, Zhang Jingxiu understands too well what his grandfather's life and death mean to his father. Once his grandfather died, Zhang Juzheng, as a son, was bound to ask the court to resign and return to his hometown to guard the system. Once this is the case, everything he has worked hard for in the court for many years will be in vain, because after three years, the changes in the court will not be controlled by him as an outsider, and the Zhang family will inevitably plummet, or even be forgotten.
Zhang Jingxiu naturally didn't want such a situation to happen, so he valued his grandfather's life and death more seriously than anyone else. When the local doctors suggested that the old lady needed to recuperate, he immediately complied and forced everyone in the house to be quiet.
But at the same time, Zhang Jingxiu complained a little about his grandfather, feeling that this old man sometimes acted too disproportionately, always causing trouble for the Zhang family, and making the Zhang family's reputation bad. In recent years, because of Zhang Wenming's greed and stupidity, the reputation of the Zhang family has completely stinked in the local area, and even on the ground of Huguang, there are many people who have a lot of criticism of the Zhang family, thinking that they are the most bullying. It was only because of Zhang Juzheng's relationship that the local government turned a blind eye to this, and even favored the Zhang family.
But Zhang Jingxiu understands a truth, if you do too much of this kind of thing, there will always be a day when you miss it, and then it will not be a good thing for either the Zhang family or your father. Moreover, even if there were no accidents, his grandfather's behavior would have had a great impact on his father's reputation, and even one day political opponents would use it as a means to attack his father.
For this reason, Zhang Jingxiu also persuaded his grandfather. However, as a grandson, he didn't dare to speak too clearly in front of his grandfather. And Zhang Wenming has not taken anything to heart over the years, so his advice is almost useless.
Fortunately, this time, because of old age and frailty, coupled with climate change, Zhang Wenming couldn't afford to get sick. Moreover, now he has got such a result from Dr. Mei's mouth, which makes Zhang Jingxiu very satisfied. As long as the grandfather is still alive, and at the same time he can no longer take care of things, let alone provoke right and wrong, the reputation of the Zhang family can still be redeemed with his own efforts.
Thinking of this, the smile on Zhang Jingxiu's face became even bigger. It seems that this Dr. Mei is really a person with good medical skills, and after just one diagnosis and treatment, he has already helped his grandfather and himself to cure the most fatal diseases.
Because of this view, Zhang Jingxiu was quite polite to Dr. Mei, and any request he had was met as soon as possible. Under Dr. Mei's careful treatment for a few days, Zhang Wenming's condition really slowly stabilized and improved.
The old man, who had been asleep all the time, only when there was any big movement around him, would his body tremble, and he sweated frequently, and he woke up a few times after taking a few pills. And the last two times, there was also a hint of consciousness in his cloudy eyes, and he could already understand what his grandson was saying in his ear.
Seeing that the patient's body was improving, Dr. Mei was also quite happy, and after being sure that Zhang Wenming's body had stabilized, he temporarily took his leave and returned to his hometown. After all, he is not the Zhang family's personal doctor, and he is also famous, but he has to treat more patients.
In this regard, Zhang Jingxiu naturally tried his best to keep it. However, under Dr. Mei's insistence, he couldn't do what he could, so he had to ask the other party to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment in half a month, and then send the doctor out of the house.
But then, the situation in Zhang's mansion has not changed at all, in order to make Zhang Wenming have a quiet recuperation environment, this mansion is still so quiet that you can hear the sound of needles falling to the ground.
Especially when the time came to one or two watches, even the servants who were doing things everywhere went back to rest, and the courtyard was even quieter than the palpitations. In Zhang Wenming's bedroom, in addition to a diligent servant taking care of him, there are only a few candles left beeping in the burning.
No one expected that at this time, a figure would fall from the high outer wall of Zhang's mansion like a ghost, and quickly and silently went straight to Zhang Wenming's bedroom.
This shadow had appeared here several times before, but it had never moved its hands, just observing the movement in the vicinity and grasping the situation inside. But tonight, after having completely mastered everything inside, and even seeing the rules of the people's routines, the black shadow finally acted.
Swiftly and silently, the black shadow had come to the door of Zhang Wenming's bedroom. Through the window paper, he was sure that there was only one servant napping in a chair next to the bed. So without the slightest hesitation, a boning steel knife appeared in his hand, and with a single insertion in the crack of the door, the latch was picked open.
Because he was afraid that the old lady on the bed would be frightened, the door shafts of these two wooden doors were deliberately oiled, so when he pushed them open, he did not make the slightest sound. This made the black shadow enter the room quietly, and then with a wave of his hand, he slapped the sleeping little girl and fainted.
After making sure that there were no distractions, the shadow looked around the room, thinking about how to do it so that people could not see the slightest problem.
It is naturally not difficult to take the life of an old man who has long lost his mobility, but it is not so simple to let him die like an accident or a natural death.
......Just when the black shadow was a little worried, the old man on the bed suddenly made a movement, he quickly looked back, but was a little surprised to find that Zhang Wenming had woken up, and even held a pair of godless old eyes, staring at his face with horror, his mouth slowly opened, as if he wanted to shout out......
