Chapter 36: The Sacrifice

Zhang Luan still said that he would do his best, and persuaded Er Zhen to go back to the room to rest, how could he stand his small body after a tired day. Zhang Erzhen is no longer annoyed with his father, Zhang Luan has a lot of affairs, and has been busy with the county's construction of dikes and rivers recently, and last year's disaster made him feel uneasy, and now he has to send people from the house to find Doctor Li. Zhang Erzhen didn't understand why Zhang Luan, who has always been generous and kind, stayed out of the matter so much this time, Xinghua Village, Doctor Li, she thought of that thin boy again, maybe it had something to do with him?

Zhang Erzhen said goodbye to her father and returned to her small courtyard, and asked Mingyue to go to the door to guard, waiting for Li Xing, who went out to find someone, to come back. She sat tiredly on the rocking chair with carved rattan of nan wood, swaying with her eyes closed, but quietly but not asleep.

The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years......

In the courtyard of the Zhizhou Mansion, Mrs. Zhongpingbo sat anxiously and irritably on the pear blossom wood carved Eight Immortals Fugui chair, twisting her handkerchief to listen to the report of the long follower. She also sent a long entourage to follow the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion to Xinghua Village to look for someone, and she has been looking for two days, and now the news has come.

The minions followed the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion to Xinghua Village, but they couldn't find any news about the miracle doctor, and the villagers there didn't know him. Later, there was a small servant in Zhang's Mansion who heard that there were people living in the mountains behind him who occasionally haunted, and the minions boldly went into the mountains and forests, and walked for most of the hour to find a few thatched huts, and the medicinal incense was left in the house, and the minions guessed that it should be the residence of the divine doctor, but the divine doctor was no longer there. ”

Mrs. Zhong Pingbo asked sharply: "If you didn't find it, you came back like this?" In case he went into the mountain to collect medicine, did you go into the mountain again to look for it?"

"The minions went deep into the mountains to look for it, but there was still no trace of the miracle doctor. Moreover, the tables and chairs in the room were already covered with dust, and the servant guessed that the divine doctor must have been gone for some days. The minions sent a few people to guard there, and they came back first. ”

Mrs. Zhongping slapped on the wooden table, grabbed the tea bowl she had just used and threw it on the ground, her face was gloomy, she ordered her to go down, and then called the third prince on the side.

“...... Yu'er, we only came here for your sister, and now that no one has found it, what should we do? Thousands of miles away, if this disease can't be cured, where is the future of the late child...... If our mansion is degenerate......" Seeing her son, Mrs. Zhongping Bo babbled and chattered, complaining that Zhang Zhixian was slow, hating that the so-called miracle doctor was useless, and the servants raised by her family were not satisfied, and finally said angrily: "If it doesn't work, then don't be happy!"

Liang Yu naturally knew why her mother was so angry, and persuaded: "It's okay if Aiwan is just in poor health, and the imperial doctor also said that taking care of her well is the same as ordinary people, so why should my mother force her." The status of our Zhongping Bofu was won by the ancestors on the horse, but now we have to maintain such glory with the idea of sending my sister into the palace, mother, she is only ten years old. ”

"What do you know?! The prince is also getting older, and in a few years he should be appointed as a crown princess. If you can send your love to the queen to raise it, you can meet the prince often. Such deep feelings are naturally easy to become good things. Your father doesn't plan for you, but your mother has to take care of your brother and sister's life. Your eldest brother is fighting for his life on the battlefield, and your second brother is not successful in the imperial examination, even if he wins, he will donate a petty official, seeing the turmoil in the imperial court, it is not for our family to plan earlier. Mrs. Zhongping remembered that her lord was obsessed with her aunt's gentle township, and she was even more angry: "When we came, that Aunt Xiang was pregnant, and I don't know how to be powerful in the house at this time, my mother doesn't expect anything else, and I don't hope you can all ......be well."

Liang Yu felt sad when he thought of his eldest brother who he hadn't seen for a long time, but he didn't completely agree with his mother's words: "The prince's body has always been bad, and he is never his own when he is raised by the queen's side, not to mention that Concubine Wan covers the sky with one hand in the harem......"

Mrs. Zhongpingbo said: "The prince is smart and precocious, he is deeply loved by the saint, and he is the eldest son of the saint, and you have also stayed in the palace for a while, so you naturally know all this." Besides, sending love into the palace is not necessarily to be the crown princess, the princes are also older, which one is a gift from the royal family to us, and it is the barrier of our mansion. ”

Liang Yu did not agree with sending Ai into the palace late. The queen mother revealed that she wanted to find a few official ladies to accompany her, how many officials and eunuchs coveted, and how many dodged out, who didn't know that the harem Wan Guifei favored the sixth palace, and the queen was an evenly matched mortal enemy, and one didn't know how to die if he was not careful. His mother and father are angry, I heard that there is a miracle medicine in Wuchang to get rid of the disease, and he will come late with love, so he is not at ease and naturally has to follow. Now that the miracle doctor has not been found, his mother still does not give up, and only pities his sister. If he had known that his mother's approach would never have been agreed, he would no longer continue to talk about the affairs of the palace, and began to persuade his mother to return to Beijing.

Mrs. Zhongpingbo is still angry, but there is no other way at the moment, it is really inappropriate to stay for a long time, and the little prostitute is still waiting for her to go back and clean up.

Zhang Erzhen didn't know that Mrs. Zhongping was going to leave, she told Mingyue to tell Liwei yesterday that maybe she could go to the big black mountain behind Xinghua Village to find it, but I don't know if they found it.

In the study, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang was reporting the situation of the search, Zhang Luan sighed when he heard it, this daughter is always a little willful, but even if Zhen Zhen told them that the divine doctor was in the mountain, if they didn't find it, the result would be the same.

After a few more days, there was still no movement, and Zhang Erzhen did not inquire again, naturally he didn't know when the people from Zhongping Bofu left Wuchang. She hasn't gone out since she came back from the Yellow Crane Tower, and she has spent the past few days very leisurely.

As the so-called spring sleepiness, autumn and summer nap, Zhang Erzhen is particularly sleepy, and she sleeps soundly in bed early. There are always a lot of mosquitoes and flies in summer, and the "buzzing" noise is annoying. Ruyue pounced on the annoying mosquitoes around her ears, and carefully walked to the deep forest of the butterfly courtyard with the yellow paper bought by the little maid in the nursery a few days ago.

She was eight years old, but she was thin and petite, with two small purses often combed by maids on her head, her face was white, and her big eyes were full of tears. Yang slept next to Ruyue, woke up since Ruyue went out, and followed out uneasily, seeing the thin Ruyue carefully bypassing the branches, taking out the fire fold and lighting the yellow paper, his mouth was closed one by one, and his shoulders shook as if he was sobbing. Yang remembered that it was summer when she came last year, and her only mother was gone and was picked up by the girl. is really a good and filial child, in this situation, Yang thought of his son who had been gone for many years, such a young child, because he was sick and had no money for treatment, and she became the girl's nurse. It's all creation, Yang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, no longer looked at Ruyue's sobbing figure, and quietly returned to the ear room.
