Chapter Ninety-Three: Clay Man
Don't cry, don't cry......" Cao Zhijin took her into his arms, gently patted the back of her thin hand, and comforted her, "You won't die!" ”
"Really?" She withdrew from her embrace, tears hanging on her thick eyelashes like the lovely dew of the morning. That cautious look, not to mention how pitiful it looks!
"Well, I don't lie to you, I'm a healer!" Cao Zhijin rolled up her sleeves and reinvented her pulse.
The pulse she had carefully diagnosed this time was no different from the one she had just checked, but she always felt that something was wrong!
"What's wrong?" Xiaomei looked at her nervously, for fear that Cao Zhijin would sigh and say that she was hopeless!
"Am I ...... It's hopeless! She lowered her head in a frustrated and whispered sadly.
Although she was reluctant to mention the word "death", it was better for her to say it herself than for someone else, especially when she had heard so many times that people had said that she was about to die!
"Nonsense!" Cao Zhijin nodded her head, "Don't think nonsense, I just have some questions that I don't understand, can you take me to see the medicine you usually take?" ”
"Absolutely!" I don't know why, when I saw Cao Zhijin for the first time, Xiaomei felt that she was very kind, not to mention that now she could save her life, she immediately agreed with a smile!
She almost jumped out of the firewood house!
Cao Zhijin looked at her happy figure, it was hard to imagine that she was a seriously ill patient!
The name Smiley Eyebrow suits her perfectly!
I don't know what kind of parents can teach such optimistic children?
The courtyard where Xiaomei lives is in a corner, very quiet, it can be said that it is a little quiet.
For some reason, it is clearly autumn under a sky, and as soon as I step here, I always feel that the autumn here is thicker, the air is cooler, and the house is more humid.
"Second Miss is back!" The maid immediately greeted her, "Who is this?" ”
She glanced at Cao Zhijin, then looked back at the smile and asked.
"She's my friend, forehead ......" Xiaomei wanted to introduce Cao Zhijin heavily, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he didn't know her name yet!
"My surname is Cao!" Cao Zhijin smiled at the maid.
"Hello Miss Cao!" The maid politely saluted Cao Zhijin, and habitually stepped forward and touched her smiling hand, "Second Miss, why are your hands so cold, the slave will go and get you a piece of clothing!" ”
"Not busy, not busy!" Xiaomei grabbed her and said, "Go to the kitchen and bring my medicine jar to Miss Cao!" ”
The maid looked at the smile in confusion.
Xiaomei grabbed Cao Zhijin's hand, looked at the maid and said, "Miss Cao is a doctor, she wants to treat me!"
The maid looked at Cao Zhijin vigilantly, and said with a smile: "Please forgive the slave and maid for being presumptuous, I don't know which family the doctor Miss Cao is?"
Cao Zhijin didn't mind the maid's vigilance, and was relieved because the maid cared about Xiaomei.
"Qu's Pharmacy." She replied with a smile.
As soon as she heard that it was Qu's pharmacy, the vigilance in the maid's eyes really disappeared.
"It turned out to be a doctor from Qu's Pharmacy! Please forgive the slave and maid for not knowing Tarzan! It's just that many years ago, Dr. Qu said that he had no way to cure the second lady's disease, so he didn't go to the house again, and the slave didn't expect the doctor from Qu's pharmacy to come again! ”
Cao Zhijin smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of the girl's jokes, in fact, I was invited by the eldest lady of your house!"
said "please", but the master and servant knew from the bottom of their hearts that things would not be so simple!
The maid was exquisite, and when she saw that the topic involved Zhao Mei, she didn't say anything more, led the two into the house, and went to the kitchen to get the medicine jar.
The room with smiling eyebrows is clean, there is no dull smoked fragrance, and the air exudes a clean smell of clean water, which is fresh and smelly!
The decoration of the room was worthy of her status as a lady, and the jewels on the dresser, although carefully sorted and arranged, still gave her the illusion of chaos!
The clinical position is a large desk, perpendicular to the bed, almost half of the bed's edge.
She heard that the ornaments in the homes of large families pay attention to the word "elegant".
She didn't know if it was indecent to set up a desk like this, but it was certainly not very convenient!
Seeing her staring at the desk, Xiaomei was happy to pull her over.
Instead of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, there were more wooden boxes of different sizes on the desk, stacked one after another like a hill.
Xiaomei opened the boxes one by one to show her, and while opening the boxes, she explained: "When I was sick, I couldn't get out of bed, so I lay down on the table and pinched the clay figures, you see!"
The first box she opened contained all sorts of delicate gadgets, as well as some colored paints.
The second box is a pair of clay figurines.
The clay figurines are one big and one small, holding hands, the small one is only half waist high as the big clay figurines, tied with two cute buns, and the streamers on the buns are flying, lifelike!
"This is the father, this is me!" The smiling eyebrows pointed to the clay figure eyebrows and smiled.
Cao Zhijin saw that the little clay figure was clearly a fat doll, and then looked at the smiling eyebrows, skinny as firewood!
He smiled shyly: "This is what I imagined!"
"And many more!" She then showed Cao Zhijin the other clay figurines.
All of them are a pair of clay figures with a father holding a child, the father is loving and the child is healthy and happy.
The only slight difference is the clothes and hair accessories, and the height of the child as he grows up.
"Why are they all clay figurines with my father? What about your mother? Cao Zhijin asked.
"I haven't seen my mother......" muttered with a low smile.
This is the maid walking in, with tears in her eyes.
"Let Miss Cao laugh!" The maid wiped away the tears that had slipped on her face and smiled at Cao Zhijin.
Cao Zhijin looked at the maid and said, "It's not that I deliberately mentioned your sadness, but I think Xiaomei's illness is related to her mother, and there is a question I want to ask."
The maid said, "Miss Cao, please ask!"
Cao Zhijin asked, "Why do all the doctors say that the disease of Xiaomei is caused by the root of the disease brought out of the mother's womb?"
Hearing Cao Zhijin ask like this, the maid's eyes turned even redder!
She closed the door and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
She is the second lady's maid in marriage, and now, maids of her age have been promoted to stewardship, only she is willing to stay by the side of the second lady, simply because she sees that the second miss is pitiful, and asks her to leave the second miss alone, she really can't bear it!
"Miss Cao is really a skilled healer! Presumably Miss Cao has already seen that the second miss's illness is not congenital weakness! ”
Cao Zhijin nodded.
She continued: "Speaking of which, I'm going to make Miss Cao laugh again, Gaomen Compound, who can be alone?" In fact, the second lady was not the root of the disease brought out of the mother's womb at all, but was poisoned shortly after birth! ”
"What? Know, why have you never told me this? Xiaomei was shocked and frightened.
looked at the smile lovingly: "The second miss is innocent, the slave is afraid to say that the second miss is afraid!" Besides, this was many years ago! Since the second lady left with the eldest young master, this matter has gradually been forgotten with the departure of the second lady and the eldest young master! ”
