Chapter 130: Clues
Butong shook his head helplessly,
"After all, it is also a national event, and it will not be done easily, you can go and bring the yam porridge and Chang'an together to reply."
Chun Tao went out, but after a while, there was a knock on the door again, Bu Tong was drinking water, looking up and saying casually,
"Come in, when did you knock on my door and enter my house?" How can it be so fast, could it be that I live by the kitchen? ”
The person who came in was the grandmother of the Four Princes' Mansion, holding Xiao Shizi who was crying in a low voice, almost crying, her voice trembled, "County Lord Niangniang, help, Xiao Shizi just passed and cried non-stop, and he didn't eat milk, and now his voice is hoarse, and people have no strength, how can you see this?" ”
Butong was taken aback,
"Bring it to me."
The nurse hurriedly stepped forward, Butong took the child, but the cry was already weak, and when she arrived in Butong's arms, she slowly stopped, breathing hard, Butong looked at the child's shriveled little belly,
"You just feed here, Xiao Shizi must be hungry."
The nurse nodded again and again, "Come to think of it, His Royal Highness has not been breastfeeding for most of the day, but he is hungry." ”
As a result, the moment the nurse hugged the child over, the villain in her arms seemed to feel it, and began to cry again, "Wow Wow", Bu Tong was helpless,
"Let's go, let's go behind the screen, I'll hold the son, you come to feed."
……
Finally fed the child, the villain, who was born only ten days ago, recognized people like this today, Bu Tong handed the child to the nurse, and took the waist card of the Nanguo Mansion to her,
"You take this with you, if you turn back and Xiao Shizi wakes up and recognizes people and cries, you will come to me, and the Guogong Mansion will never stop you."
The grandmother left with a thousand thanks, and Chun Tao hurriedly gave Bu Tong porridge, "Miss, let's go back to the house first after eating, Chang'an said that this is what our adults mean, and the adults said that Miss should not overdraft too much when she recovers from a serious illness, and it is better to go back to the house to rest early. ”
Butong yawned,
"That's fine, I'm very tired, but I can't stand it,"
Liu Siyuan came in the door, "The county lord's mother is fine, and the courtiers have returned to the palace for the time being." ”
Butong got up and thanked him,
"I haven't had a chance to thank Liu Siyuan well, and there is no embarrassment in the palace, right?"
Liu Siyuan is in good spirits now, "The county lord can rest assured, now that His Majesty is seriously ill in the palace and the queen is grounded, Qi Guifei is in charge of the harem, and she values the courtiers very much, and I have to thank the county lord." ”
Butong shook his head slightly,
"It was we who treated Liu Siyuan badly, and now the four palaces have only woken up, and there will definitely be trouble in the future for Liu Siyuan."
Liu Siyuan actually looked a little grateful, "Thank you, county lord." ”
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Bu Tong felt that his spirit was recovering well, but he was still weak, and the warm supplement prescription prescribed by Liu Siyuan was too slow, Bu Tong couldn't help but be a little irritable by this body, and went out for a stroll when he had nothing to do, and the preferred place was naturally Bu Yiyang's yard.
In the past two days, Bu Yiyang will definitely not sit in the yard and bask in the sun, and only white peony is left here to read and drink tea in the shade.
This famous noble girl is different, obviously it has reached the month of joy, and she has a good appetite all day long, but she can still sit in the shade of the courtyard on a sunny day, and read a book leisurely.
"Sister-in-law, this day is the most comfortable in the house, and those of us who are in a hurry all day can't experience it."
Bai Peony looked up and beckoned Bu Tong to sit with a smile, "What's comfortable, it's not that it's not bad to go out in the first three months, you have to have a good baby at home, I'm also very bored, Ah Tong was unwell a few days ago, why don't you have someone to talk to me." ”
Bu Tong sat opposite Bai Peony, reached out and took her book and flipped it a few times,
"This is a medical book, why did my sister-in-law start reading such a book now?"
Bai Peony smiled gently, "It's just idle and idle, just turn a few pages." ”
Butong was dizzy when he saw these things, so he put it down,
"Or a talented woman like my sister-in-law would settle down to see such a thing, so does my sister-in-law have any recipes for replenishing qi and blood here? I hadn't eaten for a few days, and I was very weak. ”
Bai Peony's hand to Butong paused and then took it back, and instructed the people behind him, "Go and cook a bowl of milk tea for the county lord." ”
Butong "tsk" out loud, "People who are healthy are too particular, I don't care so much." ”
Bai Peony gently cleaned up the books on the table, "You are weak now, don't make up for it, but the gains outweigh the losses, just warm up slowly, and don't drink more tea, it's not good for the body to recover." ”
Bu Tong nodded again and again,
"Listen to my sister-in-law."
Bai Shaoyao mentioned with a casual look, "Ah Tong, Yi Yang got the news yesterday and went out, and he hasn't returned yet, it seems that the affairs of the Four Princes' Mansion are going well?" ”
Bu Tong nodded, and his fingers folded the pages of the white peony medicine one by one,
"Well, His Royal Highness has convened everyone to discuss the matter, first solve the matter of sending troops to the northwest, I think my brother will be busy again these days, sister-in-law can rest assured, the army will be drawn out of camp in a few days, and my brother will come back to accompany my sister-in-law at that time."
Bai Peony glanced at Bu Tong coquettishly, lowered her head to serve the tea, and seemed to be a little embarrassed in Bu Tong's opinion, "In the end, it is Your Majesty's courtier, and it should be a state affair." ”
Bu Tong took the hot milk handed over to the side, and raised it with tea instead of wine.
"Sister-in-law is the most sensible, brother has you as a wife, that is a great blessing in life."
Bai Peony suddenly felt a little more melancholy, but shook her head slightly, "I'm really not a good wife." ”
Bu Tong only felt strange how he said these words for no reason, but Bai Peony got up, "Ah Tong can't help it, I woke up too early today, and now I'm a little sleepy." ”
Butong got up with a smile,
"Sister-in-law, go and rest, Tong'er will stew a cup of nourishing soup for you."
……
In the pharmacy in the house, the two gentlemen were busy sorting out the medicinal materials, and when they saw Bu Tong coming in, they were a little flustered for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward in a trance, "I have seen the county lord's mother, the county lord has just recovered from a serious illness, how did he come to us, it is strange that it is a war, what are the orders, just send the spring peach girl over,"
Bu Tong smiled,
"It's okay to go left and right, it's good to go out for a walk, my sister-in-law has been tired lately, thinking about making a tonic soup for her, and taking out some nourishing good things to see."
The doctor in the house knows the best way to maintain these nobles, and hurriedly took out some of the things of Codonopsis, "The young lady's recipe for the fetus has been eating, and the county lord will prepare a nourishing soup, Codonopsis is the most suitable, warm and replenish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and it is the most suitable right now." ”
Bu Tong doesn't know much about this, but he just thinks that Codonopsis is too commonplace.
"It's not much nourishing than usual, but some old ginseng or blood clams, deer antler velvet and the like? It's faster to replenish qi and blood. ”
The old doctor hurriedly waved his hand anxiously, "County Lord Niangniang, these things are not eaten by pregnant people, although these things are the most nourishing on weekdays, but the yin blood of pregnant people gathers in the abdomen, such as old ginseng and deer antler velvet This kind of yang supplements with excessive yang energy will greatly damage the body, and it is very easy to cause postpartum hemorrhage, but it is often impossible to eat; As for the blood clam, it is a precious thing, but it can be extremely damaging to the child in the womb, and the child born is afraid that it will be difficult to raise. ”
For some reason, Bu Tong's right eyelid suddenly jumped, and he was stunned before he spoke,
"I see, thank you for your advice, I didn't know that I almost hurt my sister-in-law, so I just brought some codonopsis to make soup."
Chun Tao stepped forward to take Codonopsis, and suddenly rolled her eyes, "Sir, my young lady's body is also very weak, it doesn't hurt for her to take these supplements to nourish her body?" ”
The old doctor touched his beard, "That's naturally the best choice." ”
The apprentice-looking young man beside him hurriedly got up, "Wait a minute, the county lord will go and fetch some here to bring back to the spring peach girl." ”
Butong nodded and smiled, "It's hard work." ”
Maybe by virtue of his identity, he can also taste these things that modern times can't afford at all.
The young man came back quickly, holding the box with only a little bit, Chun Tao pouted in displeasure, "What's the matter?" Is Miss's share only so small? Could it be that the pharmacy in the house is so empty that it doesn't even have enough things for the masters to replenish their bodies? ”
The two on the other side bowed their heads in embarrassment, "The county lord's mother forgives her sins, but she used it a lot a few days ago, and now it coincides with the drought in the south, so it is really difficult to procure." ”
Bu Tong originally didn't care about these supplements at all, but now when he heard Mr. Pharmacy say this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"How much did you use the other day? There is no one in the house who needs such a general, who is it for? ”
Mr. Pharmacy didn't look through the account book in front of him at all, and replied directly, "It's all the begonia girl in the young lady's room who came to pick it up, saying that the young lady wants to make tonic soup." ”
Butong's right eyelid jumped violently, and suddenly he began to panic inexplicably.
"Is my sister-in-law sick? Have you been treated? ”
The old doctor smiled embarrassedly, "The nobles in the palace generally invite the medical officer in the palace to take the pulse, and the pharmacy in the palace is only responsible for decocting the medicine." ”
Butong nodded,
"It's about making tonic soup for my father, mother, and brother, and my sister-in-law has always been careful."
The two hurriedly nodded yes, and Bu Tong motioned to Chun Tao,
"Don't be embarrassed, let's go back, it's been a long time since I came out, and I'm very tired."
After that, he looked at the two of them,
"There's still medicine in the back? Let's go and see, nothing has to go wrong. ”
The two of them hurriedly retreated to the backyard, Bu Tong looked at the account book on the table, reached out to take it, the brightness in his eyes darkened little by little, and the words of Yan Xi's maid laughing and shouting before she died are still in your ears.
"You don't know, you don't know, haha, but in the game, smart as the county lord can't see that he has become a stepping stone for others!"
In the past two days, Butong has thought of this sentence from time to time, and he can't figure it out for a long time, it stands to reason that people are going to die, so as not to deliberately say something inexplicable, that is, there is still some inside story, and he and everyone are stuffed in the dark.
Bu Tong put the account book into his sleeve, "Come back, I hope it's not what I think." ”
Chun Tao didn't know what Bu Tong was worried about, but when Bu Tong couldn't eat supplements, he was unhappy, and smiled and comforted him, "Miss, don't be unhappy, there is no more in the house, Chun Tao is a big deal to go outside the house to procure, in the largest treasure pavilion in Kyoto City, all good things can be bought." ”
Bu Tong just shook his head slightly, "That's not the case, I'll go back and take a look first." ”
Holding the box and going directly to Mrs. Qi's yard, Mrs. Qi was so happy to look at Bu Tong that she knew that she cherished her body, and hurriedly sent Chun Tao and Jing Zhao to the small kitchen in the back.
"The cook in the house is very rough in making tonic soup, Jingzhao has some skills, let her stew, and Tong'er can talk to me."
Butong sat down next to Mrs. Qi,
"It's still my mother who has good soup here, I used to hear Sister Yao say that in the days of the house, my mother and sister-in-law have constant soup, and it tastes good when I want to come."
Mrs. Qi smiled bitterly, "It's hard for her to keep remembering, I've only sent it two or three times, how can there be any soup constantly, pregnant people can't blindly replenish, when the time comes, it will be difficult to give birth to a child, and the woman will suffer." ”
Bu Tong's heart was half a minute colder, and he smiled far-fetched,
"Sister Yao has always been sensible, so she naturally knows how to say good things about her mother and remember her mother's goodness."
Mrs. Qi lowered her head and smiled slightly, and Bu Tong hurriedly spoke,
"Mother, I also took some codonopsis, the summer temperature supplement is the most suitable, I plan to stew some chicken soup for my sister-in-law to replenish her body, now that she is here, I will also do more to honor my father and mother."
Mrs. Qi touched Bu Tong's little head, and said dotingly, "In the end, my family Tong'er is sensible, your father and I have never liked these nourishing things, your father often said that being a man is upright and upright, there is heaven and earth nourishment, and it is difficult to get sick, so I hate to drink tonics." ”
Since there is no one in the house to drink it, it is obvious who the white peony took a lot of medicinal materials for.
……
Until the night slowly shrouded, Bu Tong still watched under the lamp, calculating the account books of the pharmacy, Tang Xuanlin quietly came in through the window without noticing, Chun Tao entered the door with the medicine cup and almost took off his hand in fright, so he simply stuffed things to Tang Xuanlin, "It's better for adults to persuade my young lady, this bowl of tonic soup has been hot three times, and I always say that I will drink it later, and I haven't looked at it until it is cold, and the young lady's body is just better, so how can it be done?" ”
After that, the little girl went out on her own.
Tang Xuanlin smiled, knelt down beside Butong with something in his hand,
"What do you look so fascinated by, Chun Tao told me to call you to drink soup."
Bu Tong turned the last page, closed the account book, and only exhaled deeply.
"Xuanlin, I seem to have discovered something terrible."
Tang Xuanlin blinked his eyes a few times, "The matter of the Hubu Shangshu deliberately shorting the treasury?" ”
Bu Tong's eyes widened instantly, "And this matter?!" ”
Tang Xuanlin opened the soup cup and pushed it to Butong, his expression was as usual, without the slightest worry and boredom.
"It wasn't that."
Bu Tong sighed, "My sister-in-law seems to be related to Sister Yao's dystocia. ”
