The executive's family agreed and ran away, and after a while, Huang Langzhong and two other famous doctors were invited. When I heard that Miss Gao's condition had relapsed, I was taken aback. After checking the pulse and looking at the tongue, they all shook their heads together. The three of them had treated Miss Gao before, and there was no good way, Huang Langzhong sighed and said to Old Lady Gao: "Old lady, we really can't do anything about Miss's illness, you should ask the famous doctor who treated Miss before." Leave. The three of them looked ashamed, and they didn't even ask for the outpatient fee, so they took their leave and left.

Hearing this, Old Lady Gao stayed on the spot. Mrs. Gao's original wife and second aunt had already received the news, and they rushed over in a panic, just when they saw the three Lang Zhong saying goodbye with a ashamed face, they couldn't help but be even more panicked, and looked at Mrs. Gao together.

The third aunt cried and said to Old Lady Gao: "Otherwise, let's go and invite that waste ......, ah no, that Lord Lu, please ask him to come and see?" "Because now he has to ask for help, he doesn't dare to call people waste.

When the old lady Gao heard this, she snorted and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first, is there any medicine he prescribed yesterday?" ”

The executive's family hurriedly laughed and said: "No, the medicine from the waste is only enough to eat once, and it has been eaten yesterday, and there is not a drop left. Otherwise, let's take the medicine according to the prescription, wouldn't it be done? Don't beg him. ”

Old lady Gao said, "Let's take a look at the situation first." With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and stepped out of his daughter's boudoir to the study.

He sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, and he took a book to read, but he couldn't read a word. Although he is not by his daughter's side, his heart is still worried.

Mrs. Gao thought that her daughter's illness might gradually improve after a day of rest, but she didn't expect that in the afternoon, her condition would become more and more serious. I can't ask Lang Zhong to see it anymore. However, after Lang Zhong came, he shook his head and said that there was no way. They had all seen the old lady's daughter before, and they had all used this prescription, so they were helpless and didn't dare to prescribe it indiscriminately. Similarly, he did not accept the consultation fee, so he said goodbye and left.

In this way, Old Lady Gao is even more depressed. At nightfall, the daughter's painful ** voice became heavier and heavier. Tossing and turning in bed and yelling all night. The next day, the illness was even worse. However, almost all the Langzhong in Tongzhou City have been invited, and no matter how bad it is, they can only go to the capital to invite. But Mrs. Gao also knew that even the imperial doctor had been invited to move, but he had not cured his daughter's illness, and now he is afraid that the result will still be the same.

This night, for the old lady Gao, can be described as tormented. He took his wife and concubine to stay by his daughter's side all night, listening to her wailing and pain, tossing and turning on the bed, but he couldn't touch her, and it hurt badly when he touched her. Old lady Gao and several wives and concubines didn't know what to do, so they struggled until dawn the next day.

The third aunt cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and finally she stubbornly proposed to the old lady Gao to ask the old lady Lu to come and see her daughter.

On the first day, Mrs. Gao still had the hope that he could see his daughter slowly recover his health, and after this day and night, he completely understood that the disease would not get better for no reason, and if he did not get the right treatment, it could only get worse and worse, and his daughter is like this now.

So, he could only grit his teeth and say to the executives: "You go and ask that waste...... Ah no, please ask Lord Lu to come and see Miss. Say a lot of good things, as long as you can cure Miss's illness, you have made a great contribution, do you hear? ”

The executive's family agreed with a sad face. This is not a good errand, I have already turned my face with Jinping before, and now I am begging to ask someone to come back to treat Miss, this face really has no place to rest. But the old man told him how dare not obey, so he could only go out with a bitter face.

After a long time, the executive's family came back, drooping his head, like a frosted eggplant, and said to the old lady Gao, the old lady and the two aunts: "I inquired and found out that the lord has been setting up a stall in the yamen to copy judgments and scriptures and the like. I found him, begged him for a long time, and after a few big baskets of good words, I almost knelt down and begged him. But, that kid, ah no, that Lord Lu didn't give face at all, he didn't even look at me, as if I didn't exist, his powerful girl was still sneering, and said that I had no face, so I had to come back. ”

As soon as he heard this, the old lady and his wives and concubines looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The second aunt said: "I'm afraid that he won't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, we offended him before, and this time we have to take out the money before he is willing to come." Why don't you bring some more money? ”

The third aunt hurriedly said: "Yes, that's right, that's right, we should bring more money, the old lady said before, curing the young lady's illness, there will be a heavy reward, we only gave fifty wen before, it's really less, old lady, give more this time, right?" If I don't have enough jewelry, add it to him and give it to him, as long as I can save my daughter, I can give him all my belongings! ”

Old lady Gao sighed and said to the executive: "Okay, you bring 5,000 Wen to beg him, he is now poor, and he should be satisfied." 5,000 is a lot, go ahead. ”

The executive's family cried and said, "Master, there is not so much cash in the account." ”

Old lady Gao's eyes widened: "Nonsense, why can't you even take out five thousand wen?" ”

"Yes, old lady. I bought this house and land, and there was not much left of it, and a few days ago, in order to treat the young lady, I really spent a lot of money. Now, when the cash money is added up, I'm afraid it's only two or three thousand Wen. ”

Old lady Gao was stunned for a moment. He used to be an official, only in charge of officialdom, and he didn't care about the family's finances at all, but he didn't expect that now the family only has so much money. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Madame. The lady is in charge of the family's accounts.

Mrs. Gao sighed and said to her husband: "Master, you are an honest official, you rely on your income, you don't have much external water, your savings are not much, and your family expenses are large. However, there is a lot of grain in the granary at home, and the rent that has just been collected in the autumn. Why don't you take some grain and sell it and see if you can save that much money? I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it at a good price in a hurry. ”

The third aunt was also dizzy and said, "Master, why don't we sell some of our land?" Now there are many people who buy land, as long as they are willing to sell, someone will definitely buy it. ”

"Nonsense!" Old Lady Gao said angrily, "Why did we fall to the point of selling our land? That's what the shitty lord does! ”

Speaking of this, he remembered that he was asking for help now, why did he still call it that, if he didn't open this knot in his heart, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask that Lord Lu to come back to treat his daughter's illness. So, he sighed and said: "Lord Lu can't do that, he also wants to reorganize the family ......business, forget it, let's not go here, it's just that our land can't be sold, and we can still make up 5,000 yuan." In this way, everyone will put together the jewelry, and it will be almost enough to send it again. ”

So, several wives and concubines went back to the house and brought their own jewelry boxes, gathered all the valuables, roughly calculated, almost enough for 5,000 Wen, plus the original copper coins, packed in a money box, and guarded by several families, the executive's family went out again with the money box to beg Lu Jinping.

After a long time, the executive's family returned. It's just that his face is still full of frustration, his head is drooping, and he is holding the money box: "Old lady, I didn't get it done." I put the money in front of him, and begged him to have mercy on our young lady, and to treat her, but he still treated her as if I did not exist, and did not even look at it, nor did he even glance at the money in the box. - He's so poor that he pays off his tall fart! ”

He was aggrieved and couldn't help but curse a dirty word.

Old lady Gao yelled, "Dog thing! Are you still talking like that? Presumably it was because you refused to bow your head and angered him that he didn't come, yes or no? ”

The executive was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "No, sir, a few of them can testify." I did apologize with a smile on my face just now, begging him, and I didn't say a word of cruelty, they can testify. With that, he turned around and pointed to a few accompanying family members at the door.

The housekeepers also hurriedly testified that the butler was indeed pleading, but the lord never looked at them, nor did he look at the money in the cash box. When they don't exist. But the girl was sneering on the side, which made people unbearable.
