Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Visit to Bao Mansion

"If you follow the analogy, the person with the largest collection of medical books should be the house of the Lord Shangshu Bao of the Ministry of Rites."

What Xiao Yun said was conclusive, and there seemed to be some truth, Jiang Liuyu thought about it, "Although Mrs. Bao is not in good health, she has doctors and imperial doctors in terms of treatment, how can she use Lord Bao to find a medical book in person and take care of it herself?" ”

"If those doctors were really useful, Mrs. Bao wouldn't have to suffer so much." Xiaoyun sighed, "Princess, the slave maid had a few words with Yansi, the maid beside Mrs. Bao, only to learn that Mrs. Bao has been so weak for many years. ”

"It seems that when I gave birth to Miss Bao, I couldn't adjust well, and I have been left with the root of the disease. In the early years, the body was so strong that I couldn't see anything, but it slowly showed itself when I got older. ”

"Then it's no wonder that Mrs. Bao would sleep down next to the rockery that day," Jiang Liuyu remembered the events of that day, a really gentle and strong lady like Mrs. Bao really made her feel admired from the bottom of her heart.

"It's really unfair for Mrs. Bao to be such a good person, to suffer so much." Jiang Liuyu thought of the lady Li who had a sweet mouth and a sword, and her heart hurt angrily, especially when compared with Mrs. Bao, it made her feel that it was not worth it.

"In that case, let's go visit Mrs. Bao, while relieving her boredom, and borrowing her family's ancient medical books to read."

"Then the princess, wait a while, and the slave will call someone to set up the car." Xiaoyun said, picked up the stack of books that Jiang Liuyu put on the table, put them back in their original places on the bookshelf, and then left to go out. Jiang Liuyu's nose was a little itchy from the dust in those books, and he also went out to the hall to wait.

In the house of Lord Bao of the Ministry of Rites, since the emperor has not been to the court for a few days, Lord Bao will inevitably be free to accompany Mrs. Bao in the mansion.

Usually Bao Changchuan is at home for a short time, and Mrs. Bao can still hide her condition, but these days Bao Changchuan is at home every day, Mrs. Bao just wants to hide it, and this body can't hold it, and she has not been exposed for a day.

"What's going on, doesn't it mean that you've gotten better after drinking the doctor's medicine? How can you still be weak like this? ”

At this time, Bao Changchuan was talking to Mrs. Bao at the beginning, and suddenly Mrs. Bao coughed, and a faint bloodshot flowed from the corner of her mouth. Frightened, Bao Changchuan was a calm and rational person in the main hall on weekdays, and he suddenly panicked.

"Back to the master, Mrs. is indeed drinking medicine every day, but this medicine is really useless, Mrs. She is because she ......" Yansi saw her master so uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to tell the truth of the matter, but Mrs. Bao stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Yansi, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Bao grabbed Bao Changchuan's sleeves with both hands, and her chest kept panting, "Master, don't blame them, if you want to blame them, you can only blame the concubine for doing too many stupid things when she was young, and now it's all retribution." ”

"Zitong, don't say that." Bao Changchuan hugged her distressedly and kept stroking her back. "It's all my fault in the past, how can I blame you? If there is retribution, it should be retribution on me. ”

Looking at the loving middle-aged couple in front of her, Yansi also hesitated, not daring to say the matter, for fear that it would affect the warmth of this moment.

"Old lady, Princess Jing came to visit, saying that she came to visit Madame." Qin Zitong felt that his breathing was a little easier, and he heard a report from outside the door. Bao Changchuan comforted his wife and frowned: "I don't have anything to do with King Jing, what is Princess Jing doing?" ”

"If you go out, you will say that Madame is not feeling well today, and ask the princess to come back another day."

"What are you talking about, it's rare for people to be kind enough to come here, how can you tell people to just leave? What's more, she is still the princess, if it spreads, it will not let others think that you are unwilling to collude with King Jing, but let Your Majesty think that you despise the royal majesty? ”

Qin Zitong sat up and patted Bao Changchuan on the shoulder, "Since she is kind enough to come to see me, then I also have a private room to say about my daughter's family, it is inconvenient for you to stay here for a long time, it is better to go to the study first to deal with the affairs of the past few days." ”

Bao Changchuan knew that she was trying to push herself away, so that he would not investigate why she was seriously ill. Looking at the reluctant smile on Qin Zitong's face, Bao Changchuan couldn't go against her wishes, so he had to agree.

"Okay, I'll go first, talk to her for a short time, you need to get some rest now."

After hearing this, Qin Zitong raised his handkerchief and covered his mouth and chuckled, "I know, you can rest assured." ”

Master Bao reluctantly returned to the study from the path on the right, and just after he left, Jiang Liuyu followed.

"I haven't seen Mrs. Bao for many days, is Mrs. Bao in good health?"

Jiang Liuyu said, and wrapped some of the valuable medicinal materials he brought, such as ginseng, lingzhi, snow lotus, etc., and put them on Mrs. Bao's small case.

After taking medicine for so many years, Mrs. Bao also has her own unique views on medicinal materials, knowing that these medicinal materials look like some years and have good medicinal effects, and I am sincerely grateful to her.

"There is Princess Lao, and you will be asked to break the bank for a trip, which is really unpleasant." In fact, Mrs. Bao, today's physical fitness is not able to eat such a large tonic medicinal herb.

It's just that this is Jiang Liuyu's intention after all, and Mrs. Bao can't accept it, so she keeps it for Bao Changchuan to make up for herself, and next time she will return the gift with the same expensive gift.

"But it's all something outside the body, Mrs. Bao doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Liuyu smiled politely, walked over and sat on the chair that Yansi had specially laid out for her, and then had the time to take a look at Mrs. Bao's room.

I saw that although this room was spacious, it was a little dim, presumably because Mrs. Bao was tortured by illness and couldn't sleep well all day, so she asked someone to adjust this room so that she would not be stimulated by the bright light when she wanted to rest.

It's just that it's so dim, which makes people's hearts a little dull, and I feel that the air is a little not circulating, how can it be suitable for the patient's cultivation. Jiang Liuyu looked at it, shook her head again and again in her heart, and then looked at Mrs. Bao who was leaning on the couch.

The weather is still a little hot these days, but Mrs. Bao is wearing thick satin clothes, with several layers of mattresses under her, leaning on a big pillow and covering her body with a small quilt. If you don't know it, you think she's spending the winter.

"Is Mrs. Bao afraid of the cold?" Jiang Liuyu suddenly said such a sentence, which made Yan Si and Qin Zitong stunned, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "It's me who is abrupt, I'm sorry, if Mrs. Bao doesn't want to answer, she can not say it." ”

"Actually, I don't feel cold, but my body can't help but shiver, which is also a common thing, don't be surprised, princess." Mrs. Bao was so tired that she gasped for breath just by saying this, and the strength to support the pillow in her hand gradually disappeared, Yan Si saw this, and hurriedly helped her up and sat on the edge of the bed.

Jiang Liuyu couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that she was so sick. The last time I saw her, she could still talk and laugh with so many ladies, and it was only a long time before she was weak like this.

"What kind of illness did Mrs. Bao have, is it that she is overly worried, and Mrs. Bao should also take good care of herself."

"It's not a disease, it's retribution." Qin Zitong smiled wryly, and said such a sentence helplessly.

Jiang Liuyu listened, and was even more helpless, ancient people liked to connect their illness with retribution, but there was no scientific basis.

"Mrs. Bao, don't think about it, how can a person like Mrs. Bao who is dignified and abides by his own etiquette do bad things, and there will be retribution."

"In this capital, I am afraid that the princess is the only one who can really have a clear conscience." Qin Zitong exhaled deeply, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a reminiscence of the past. "I only hope that the princess will not be spoiled by other ladies and ladies in the capital, and she can always stick to her heart."

"I will." Jiang Liuyu nodded. Although she knew that she might be helpless here and use some unusual means, Jiang Liuyu was still somewhat sure if she was worthy of her heart.

"Mrs. Bao has done something that makes her feel guilty so far, say it, so that I can solve it for Mrs. Bao."

Hearing this, Yansi couldn't help but look at her with some resentment.

Jiang Liuyu noticed Yan Si's eyes, and also realized that her words might have the meaning of tearing apart other people's wounds, so she hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, if Madam is inconvenient to say, I don't insist on knowing." ”

"Yansi, you can go and bring that bottle of medicine for me." Qin Zitong knew that Jiang Liuyu's sudden change of words might be due to Yansi, but she had been holding this matter in her heart for a long time, and it was really uncomfortable not to say it, so she took her away.

"Madame, you-" Yansi frowned and refused to leave, knowing how badly it affected her, but she was very firm, "Don't go yet." ”

"Yes." Yansi had to agree, and glanced at Jiang Liuyu hatefully before leaving.

"Mrs. Bao, why be reluctant, if I evoke your sad past, Yansi is afraid that she will be angry with me." Jiang Liuyu saw Yansi's eyes when she was leaving, and joked with Mrs. Bao helplessly.

"I will tell him not to be an enemy of the princess." Qin Zitong bent the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help coughing, "Besides, even if he wants to embarrass the princess, he may not have the ability." ”

"Sincerely, the golden stone is open, I see that she is so loyal to her wife, she has the perseverance of a gentleman to take revenge, and it is not too late for ten years."

Jiang Liuyu saw Mrs. Bao stretching out her hand to let her pass, so she leaned on Mrs. Bao's side, holding Mrs. Bao with one hand, and letting her lean on her shoulder, so that she could save some effort when she spoke.

"Yansi is an orphan, and I brought my daughter back to the house before she was born. She grew up with my daughter, and like my other daughter, she had a very strong relationship with me. Mrs. Bao said, I don't know if she remembered Yansi's childhood, or her own daughter, with a happy smile on her face.
