The doctor put away the needle and whispered, "Let's go out and talk." ”

Mei Xiaotong left Tianhu in the house to watch Mei Zhongzhong, she walked out with Mrs. Li, Mei Changqing and Mei Changgui, and invited the doctor to the next room.

Before the doctor sat down, Mei Changgui hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what's going on?" How can there be black blood? ”

The doctor groaned for a moment and glanced at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded without a trace, and the doctor said: "This old man should have eaten something that should not be eaten by mistake not long ago, these things contain slight toxins, causing the old man to vomit and diarrhea." This symptom is very similar to eating a bad stomach, and most doctors treat it as diarrhea. The toxin was not discharged, but accumulated in the internal organs. Coupled with the wrong medicine, it aggravates the condition. ”

"At first, it's just diarrhea, and then it's sleepy, and if it's a few days late, I'm afraid that the old man will ......."

Everyone is an adult, and they all understand what the doctor means.

One by one, their faces changed.

Mei Xiaotong was still steady: "Then please ask the doctor to re-prescribe the medicine, and please leave my father's illness to the doctor!" ”

The doctor nodded: "I have already given the old man an injection today, and I will prescribe two more medicines, take them first, and I will come to the door tomorrow to take a look." If you can wake up today, eat something, and get to know people clearly, then there is still a way. ”

As he spoke, he buried himself in writing the prescription.

Mei Xiaotong personally sent the doctor to the gate of the courtyard, first paid the consultation fee, then asked for the medicine money, and gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot: "Little second brother, can you follow the doctor to catch the medicine and come back?" If it's convenient, help us buy a medicine jar, and please move us a stove for decoction. My two brothers didn't know the way, so I was afraid that we would lose time. ”

The shopkeeper readily agreed. After sending off the doctor and the shopkeeper, Mei Xiaotong returned to the house, Mei Changqing's face was pale: "I just said that my father has a good body, so he will not adapt to the water and soil!" He also said that he had hired the best doctor! Fart! I think it's the second bastard, who wants to poison our father! ”

Mei Changgui had red eyes, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go to find Mei Changan, but was stopped by Mrs. Li: "Stop for the old lady!" What's the use of you going now? Forgot what your sister told me? Isn't this a door-to-door delivery? ”

Mei Changgui pounded the door frame angrily: "Is that it?" If my father has three long and two short, I won't be done with him! ”

"You're not done? Do you have the brains of the second little beast, or do you have the strength of your sister? Nothing, what's the noise? Mrs. Li was also unhappy.

If Mei Zhongzhong is his own problem, and he is sick like this, he deserves it!

But he was harmed like this by Wang Lao'er's brute, in addition to being cold and scared, Mrs. Li still felt that Mei was loyal and deserved!

I have told him a long time ago that Wang Laoer, the sixth relative of the beast, does not recognize it, it is not a good thing, and he only has money and power in his eyes.

Eccentric

If you don't believe it, take a poisonous snake as a treasure.

I was deceived again and again, and this time I almost took my life.

When he wakes up, he'll have to ask

Ask, does he regret it!

Let's say that Mama Hu was beaten by Mrs. Li and fled into the carriage in embarrassment, and rushed all the way back to the county office.

The two rough mothers-in-law saw that Mama Hu's hair was also loose and her clothes were dirty, so they cautiously reminded: "Mama Hu, do you want to comb your hair up, and you will see Madame when you go back later, this is not easy to see." ”

Mama Hu gritted her teeth and touched the messy hair on her head, her scalp was still hurting at the moment, and she said fiercely: "Shut up for me!" At this time, rush to offer hospitality? What did you do earlier? Where were you when the old lady was pressed and pulled by the country woman's hair? ”

The two rough mothers-in-law also felt very wronged: "Mama Hu, it's not that we don't want to go up to help you, it's really that the two of us can't go up?" The girl of the Mei family is too evil, and she has a lot of strength, and she threw the two of us into a corner at once. Both of us still have sore butts at this time! ”

Mama Hu glared at the two mothers-in-law angrily, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she had a brilliant idea.

Immediately ordered the coachman outside: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage galloped through the streets, and soon stopped at the back door of the county office.

Mama Hu got out of the car in such an embarrassment, and swaggered all the way through the hall and courtyard into the courtyard of Mrs. County Order.

As soon as he entered the courtyard door, he cried: "Madam, the old slave didn't do a good job today, and I embarrassed my wife!" Please punish the old slave! ”

Mrs. Xia, the county magistrate, was not in a good mood, last night, the old man who had not stepped into her room for several months suddenly came, although she didn't care about pampering or anything, but this old man could come, she was also happy.

Still pondering, could it be that after a few months of crisscrossing the flowers, he still remembered the love between husband and wife?

Unexpectedly, Gao Jin went into his room, lying on the bed and doing nothing, so he proposed to take another concubine.

It is not uncommon to accept concubines, since Gao Jin arrived in Qicheng, he did not accept a few people to come in that month.

What is there to tell yourself? Xia didn't take it seriously, so he just said casually, then follow the master's wishes.

As a result, Gao Jin immediately said that what he wanted to accept was not an ordinary concubine, but a good concubine, a second wife, a formal concubine book, and the Xia family had to prepare well, and the concubine was naturally not a matter of being carried in a small sedan chair.

It is necessary to prepare a courtyard and prepare the subordinates who are ready to serve, and even asked the Xia family to prepare a dowry or something, and said that the courtyard should be hung with red colors, and it should not be lazy.

When Xia heard this, his nose was crooked.

Where is this concubine, this is marrying, right? If you really want to do this, where will you put your original wife?

was about to oppose it, but Gao Jin said directly,

It's okay to say that other women, it doesn't matter if Xia is frustrated, but this one is different, and it has to be treated well.

Xia knew that his master used to have some face, and he could still pretend to be outside, but now that he has arrived in Qicheng, no one is in charge, not to mention his nature, and he is particularly stubborn and self-serving, and he can't listen to any objections.

Now that this Qi City is too far away from the capital, it is really going to anger his own master, and it is himself who suffers.

Why bother to say that you still have a reputation for jealousy?

I had to swallow my anger and ask which girl it was, even if I wanted to admit it, I had to say it.

I actually hit it in my heart

The idea is to first go and see where this girl is sacred, so that his master can say such things.

The man who is his own master seems to be affectionate, but he is the most affectionate, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, it is only a few days fresh, and there has never been a woman who has been taken to heart by him.

This suddenly said that he wanted to take a woman back as a second room, which had to make people vigilant.

Gao Jin has long been accustomed to his wife's tolerant and generous performance, in his opinion, he has always given the dignity of Xia's wife, except for having children with Xia, other women, no matter how pampered, are a bowl of avoidance soup, and will never give birth to a concubine to hinder Xia's eyes.

There are not many men who respect their wives as much as he does.

Therefore, I didn't think much about it, and mentioned Mei Changan's name slightly, and told the Xia family the address.

Although the Xia family is in the back house, some of the news in front can still be known, Mei Changan she has also seen, to be honest, she looks really talented, and she has a good demeanor.

It's his wife, the Qian family has also met once, and at first glance she is also a beautiful woman, but when she is with Mei Chang'an, she is not worthy.

Not to mention, Mei Changan has been married to the Qian family for many years, has only one daughter, and has not divorced his wife or taken a concubine, which is very rare.

It's a pity that I later heard that there was a flaw in my reputation and was kicked out of the county government by Zhang Pengju.

But she also regretted it, and thought about whether it was a misunderstanding, because looking at Mei Changan herself, she is gentle and gentle, and she is really not a person with bad morals in the legend.

Now as soon as he heard that it was actually Mei Changan's sister-in-law, Xia immediately felt that Mei Chang'an's description was hateful.

What kind of bullshit talent, personable? It's a hypocrite, a villain who sacrifices his sister for glory!

She was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night, so she got up in the middle of the night and ran to the next yard to sleep with the concubine.

Xia became more and more annoyed, and after thinking about it for most of the night, he sent his henchman Hu out early in the morning.

Hu is Xia's marrying mother, and she is deeply trusted by Xia, and she helps manage the back house on weekdays, which is quite decent.

The Xia family sent Mama Hu to go, first, to show their importance to the Mei family girl in front of Gao Jin; Second, I also asked Mama Hu to visit the girl of the Mei family

Bottom.

After sending Mama Hu out this morning, Xia was anxious.

I hastily handled a few housework, and just as I had just asked someone to bring breakfast, I heard Mama Hu's crying.

Before he could react, he saw a mother-in-law with unkempt hair pounce in front of him.

was so frightened that Xia's bowl of bird's nest porridge almost didn't fall to the ground.

If you look closely, this mother-in-law with scattered sideburns and dirty clothes is not Mama Hu?

"Didn't you go to give the Mei family a dowry? How did you get back like this? Xia's eyes widened and he looked at Mama Hu in disbelief.

This Mama Hu has always been the most exquisite person, her hair has always been combed neatly, and her clothes are clean and neat.

is so embarrassed, as if rolling on the ground a few times, Xia has never seen it.

Mama Hu raised her head, Xia endured it, but she didn't hold back, and a bowl of bird's nest porridge fell to the ground, "Poof-Mama Hu, what's wrong with you?" ”

She still felt angry when Mama Hu didn't look up, but as soon as Mama Hu looked up, her face was revealed in front of everyone.

her

There were several scratches on his face, especially his left eye, which was beaten out with a cyan mark the size of a round fist, like the pug dog that Xia usually raised.

The dog is nothing else, but it also has a fist-sized black mark on its left eye, and when it wags its tail, it looks cute and cute.

Not to mention that Xia Shi didn't hold back his laughter, even the girls who were waiting next to him couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Mama Hu looked at Xia with an inexplicable expression, and her expression became more and more like that pug.

Especially when Xia's bird's nest porridge fell to the ground, the pug heard the movement, wagged his tail and rushed in, licking two mouthfuls of porridge on the ground, and didn't forget to raise his head and wag his tail at Xia's.

With Mama Hu kneeling aside, it is simply synchronous.

Xia's original anger in his stomach was dissipated a lot by such a trouble.

waved her hand to Mama Hu to go down and clean up and come back in.

Mama Hu went back to her room and looked in the mirror, her face suddenly darkened, she finally understood why she walked back all the way, and the people who had always seen her were sincerely scared, why they snickered.

While packing up his clothes and hair, he was ruthless in his heart: this girl of the Mei family has caused such a disgrace to herself, and she can't be allowed to enter the county government no matter what.

Otherwise, with the freshness of his master's promise to come out of the position of the second wife without passing the door, this Mei girl has a grudge against herself, and if she really enters the door, then if she uses her master's momentum to clean herself up.

No matter how majestic he is, in the final analysis, he is also a subordinate, and he must be the one who suffers.

Therefore, after freshening up and changing clothes, Mama Hu went to the upper room again.

Xia had already eaten breakfast, was holding the pug, gossiping with the girl next to him,

Seeing that Mama Hu couldn't hide the injury on her face, she returned to her former appearance.

Only then did he say, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mama Hu added fuel and vinegar to talk about going to Mei's house, especially the rudeness of Mrs. Li, as well as Mei Xiaotong's rudeness and infinite strength and ruthlessness.

Finally, he wiped a handful of tears: "Fortunately, the old slave ran fast when he saw that the situation was not good, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back alive to see your wife——"

Xia didn't say anything else, this girl from the Mei family was reluctant to go into the backyard to be the second wife, but it made her feel a little good.

Looking at Mama Hu so pitifully, after all, she is a mother who has been with her for many years, and she is also a little distressed, and she suddenly became entangled.

Seeing Xia's hesitation, Mama Hu knew that Xia's was shaken.

hurriedly added a handful of firewood: "Madam, it's a trivial matter for the old slave to be injured a little, but the old slave is worried about you and the young master!" If such a ruthless and powerful woman is brought to our house, if she has bad intentions, we can't prevent it! ”

When Xia heard this, his heart jumped, if he really told Mama Hu, then the girl of the Mei family has a lot of strength, and she doesn't understand the world, so she entered the door and relied on the master's momentum, what should she really do?

The maids around me are all pampered, even if there are a few mothers-in-law, it is enough to choke.

"But it's hard to explain there, master?" Xia was still a little entangled.

"Madam, think about it, this young master and young ladies are still living in the courtyard, what if that woman enters the mansion and has bad intentions, what can you do to the young master and young lady?" Mama Hu knows Xia's family, so she naturally knows where her reverse scales are.

Sure enough, it was a matter of children, and Xia immediately made up his mind.

"Mama, you're right! It's about children, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! Okay, I'll naturally tell the master about this. You've worked hard, Baicha, and brought my pair of gold bracelets to Mama Hu to suppress the shock. ”

Mama Hu was rewarded, knowing that she was not rejected by her master, and finally showed a smile.

※※※

In the evening, Mei Zhongzhong woke up, this time she was awake for a long time, looking at Mrs. Li, and her two sons, daughters and grandsons all around her, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"It's good that you're here!" Mei Zhongzhong wanted to speak, but felt that her throat hurt badly.

Mrs. Li handed over a bowl of warm water with a tiger face and fed Mei Zhongzhong to drink.

Mei Zhongzhong drank the water and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" Where is this? ”

From the moment he woke up, he felt that he was not in the second child's house, and then looked at the environment and furnishings of the house, which was much more generous than the second child's house.

"The second brute asked people to send a letter to the family, saying that you are not used to the water and soil, and you can't get out of bed. Shall we not come and see? Mrs. Li replied angrily.

Mei Zhongzhong's face at the moment

's shame: "It's also that I'm old, and I'm useless, and I can still vomit and vomit when I eat and drink!" If I had known this, I should have served my old age, and it was better to stay at home than here! ”

Mei Xiaotong and the Mei brothers glanced at each other, it seemed that Mei Zhongzhong didn't know that he had eaten the wrong thing.

In these words, he blamed himself for his poor health and illness, but he was not so confused.

Mrs. Li sneered: "You make it like this, you deserve it!" You brought it on yourself! Let you treat the second beast as a treasure, and I can't wait to stick my heart and liver to him, what is the result? Let's not talk about anything else, you are so sick that you don't know where to lie there, your good second brother and good daughter-in-law left you in the wing, the quilt on your body is full of dirt, and I don't know how many days I haven't changed you for a few days. ”

"On such a cold day, while you are still asleep, I don't burn the kang in the house where you live, if we don't go in time, I'm afraid you will freeze to death!"

Although Mei Zhongzhong has been asleep, he is still vaguely conscious, and Mrs. Li said that he couldn't help but show sadness here. Mrs. Li saw that Mei Zhongzhong's eyes were red, and she didn't insist on saying that Mei Chang'an was good, but as if she was disheartened, she snorted coldly, and didn't say anything to stimulate Mei Zhongzhong.

Mei Zhongzhong slowed down for a long time before he reluctantly asked, "Then where are we now?" ”

Mei Changqing and Mei Changgui glanced at each other and said nothing.

Mei Xiaotong stood at the door and didn't speak.

Or Mrs. Li sneered: "Where do you think it is?" The second child's beast's home, we don't dare to live in it as dare as you. He can poison you, for us, I'm afraid that we will go in vertically and come out horizontally! ”

Mei Zhongzhong was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" What did the second brother do to me? ”

Mrs. Li hesitated, looking at Mei Zhongzhong like this, if she told him the truth, what would she do if she couldn't hold on?

Mei Xiaotong thought about it more, now that they live in the inn, they don't know what other means Mei Changan hasn't used, and Gao Jin is county order, he rejected him, and I don't know if he will be angry.

The family is in danger now, if he doesn't tell Mei Zhongzhong the truth, in case he soft-heartedly reveals the news that shouldn't be revealed, or does something else, the family will have to explain here.
