Chapter 49: The Way of the Man

"Why did this suddenly get worse, didn't it get better a few days ago?"

On this day, the Yixin Courtyard was particularly crowded, because the old lady's condition suddenly worsened, although it was not a major symptom, but the tongue coating sores, the liver fire was vigorous, and it was difficult to sleep at night, these originally not serious symptoms appeared in an old man, and he was already sick, it was a little tricky.

It took a long time for the doctor who came to check the pulse to take the pulse from the old lady's pulse, and the first sentence that the doctor said after diagnosing the pulse was also a little confusing: "Have you invited other doctors in the past few days?" ”

"Dr. Li, where did you start?" It was Gui Yi who opened her mouth to answer, and in this courtyard, she was the only one who knew the situation of the old lady best, so as soon as the doctor opened her mouth to ask, she hurriedly replied: "Doctor Li is also a frequent visitor to our house, almost all the ladies have any minor illnesses and pains, they all invite Dr. Li to come and see, and the old lady is the same, except for Dr. Li, no other doctors have been invited." ”

"If that's the case, it's a little weird." Dr. Li frowned and pondered for a long time before muttering: "If the old lady hadn't seen other doctors and taken other prescriptions, it stands to reason that she wouldn't have the symptoms she has now......

Doctor Li's words surprised Gui Yi, and she hurriedly said: "The slaves and maids have been giving the old lady food according to the prescription prescribed by Dr. Li for the past few days. ”

So, could it be that there is something wrong with his prescription? Dr. Li frowned and shook his head, denying the speculation in his heart.

"Did the old lady drink medicine this morning? Is the residue still there? Miss Guiyi brought it to me. After thinking about it, Dr. Li spoke.

"It's still there!" This time it was not Gui Yi who opened her mouth, but Gui Rong, she walked to the side and quickly brought over a white porcelain bowl with a little residue left, "After the slave maid served the old lady and drank the medicine, before she had time to ask someone to clean it up, Doctor Li came over, just right, Doctor Li to see if there was a problem with this medicine." ”

As Gui Rong spoke, he handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li took the medicine bowl, first lowered his head and sniffed it, and then rummaged through the remaining medicine residue in the bowl with his hand, and finally his face sank, and he put the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table heavily.

"Which pharmacy grabbed this medicine, there are two medicinal materials that are not in the prescription I prescribed, and the grams of this medicine are not right!" This always amiable Dr. Li suddenly started a fire at this time, "How can you be so careless about taking medicine?" Even if the amount of this medicine is only one gram or one centimeter, it can cause death! Fortunately, I remembered that the old lady was old and frail, so I specially reduced the amount of medicine, and now it has not caused a big disaster! ”

Dr. Li's words made the hearts of everyone in the room sink, and Gui Yi involuntarily glanced at Gui Rong, but he hesitated and did not speak.

But just because Gui Yi doesn't open his mouth doesn't mean that others won't open his mouth either.

"Who is responsible for the old lady's medicine? In which pharmacy did you catch it? The responsible person stands up for me! "When encountering such a thing, the person who originally stood up to deal with it should be the Song family, but the Song family didn't know if he hadn't reacted for a while, so at this time, this said from the doctor's mouth.

Song glanced at the eldest lady, and a trace of displeasure flashed quickly in her eyes.

"Yes, what my sister-in-law said is, who is in charge, don't stand up quickly!" Soon, Song also echoed with a straight face.

When Song opened his mouth, the eldest lady's face couldn't help but change slightly. She quietly stepped back a little, but she was secretly annoyed by her recklessness in her heart - after all, all the affairs in the mansion were taken care of by her before, and now although she gave up the position of the master mother to the Song family, sometimes she always forgot about it.

And for her, although this is just an unintentional mistake, it is difficult to guarantee that the Song family will not think that she has ulterior motives.

No one knows what the two ladies in this mansion are thinking, because everyone's attention at this time is on Gui Rong, who stood up timidly.

"Mrs. Hui, there are still a lot of fresh medicinal materials in the warehouse in the house, so these medicinal materials are all taken from the warehouse by the slave maid......" Gui Rong is also a faceless maid ring in the old lady's courtyard, although she usually does not handle things as Gui Yi, but she somewhat occupies a calm, but she didn't expect that the old lady's aggravation of her condition would eventually contact her, so this originally decent girl ring now has a little panic on her face.

"Stupid!" The Song family was originally unhappy because of Mrs. Fang Cai's snatching of words, and Guirong's appearance at this time was undoubtedly touching her bad head, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she scolded mercilessly: "It's in vain that the old lady usually trusts you so much, but you can't even do such a trivial thing as catching medicine!" What a rubbish! ”

"The second lady is angry, the slave knows that she is wrong, please punish the second lady." Gui Rong kowtowed deeply, with a look of guilt on his face.

But just as everyone was pointing the finger at Gui Rong, a voice sounded leisurely on the side, "Although Sister Gui Rong is responsible for helping the old lady catch the medicine, the matter of dispensing the medicine should not be handled by Sister Gui Rong." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked to realize that they had just fallen into a misunderstanding - thinking that the person who grabbed the medicine must be the one who made the mistake. But if you think about it carefully at this time, the person in charge of catching the medicine is not the person who dispenses the medicine, so the fault is not necessarily Gui Rong's body.

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the person who had just spoken, but when everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yingxue, who had a calm face, everyone's faces turned strange again.

However, there was one exception among them, seeing Lin Yingxue's calm appearance, the eldest lady's eyes couldn't help but flash a faint look of appreciation, "Brother and sister, it's time to call the person who dispenses the medicine to come out and ask." ”

Seeing that the Song family was staring at Lin Yingxue and didn't make the next move for a long time, the eldest lady couldn't help but remind in a low voice on the side.

Hearing this, the Song family hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Gui Rong, and then instructed his subordinates: "Go and bring the subordinates who are responsible for dispensing medicine to the old lady in the past few days." ”

"Yes."

The subordinate received the order to go down, and brought Ah Quan up in a short time.

Although Ah Quan didn't know what was going on at this time, seeing that everyone was staring at him with unkind faces, he also had a premonition in his heart, and as soon as he entered the room, he knelt at Song's feet.

"Little Ah Quan, I've seen all the ladies and misses." Ah Quan's panicked voice rang out in the room.

The Song family didn't bother to talk nonsense with the person in front of him, so he asked, "The old lady's medicine has been prepared by you in the past few days?" ”

“…… Be. Ah Quan replied with a trembling body.

"Bold!" As soon as his words fell, the Song family had already opened his mouth and angrily reprimanded: "You are careless in doing things, you even dare to be careless in dispensing medicine to the old lady, causing the old lady to be sick now, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?!" ”

After Song's angry drink, Ah Quan's face suddenly turned pale, and he sat down on the ground in a flash.
