Huai Sleeve changed his clothes, raised his hand and dusted off a thin fold on the embroidery branch on the cuff, and said to Yuehe with a calm face: "You go and tell Zhang to keep the car, I will leave the palace immediately." ”

Yuehe went out in response, and Yin Ling'er frowned and said: "However, that old monster doesn't know how to lift, the master saw it with his own eyes yesterday, and he ......"

Sitting at the table with a tea bowl and thinking about the tea foam, he said in a calm tone: "I don't care if he knows how to lift or not, as long as he can heal Qi'er's eyes, what kind of lift he wants, this palace will give it to him!" ”

While the two were talking, Yuehe had already walked in from outside, and said on his knees: "Back to the master, Zhang Bao has prepared the carriage and horses, and stopped in front of the east gate to wait for the drive." ”

Huai Sleeve stood up and walked out, Yin Ling'er hurriedly picked up the lynx Qiu Da Yu on the screen and followed, but Huai Sleeve turned to look at her and said, "You don't have to follow today, I'll go by myself." ”

Yinling'er was anxious when she heard it: "This can't be done, the master is a precious body, in case there is a mistake, even if it is borrowed from the slave maid ten heads are not enough to cut off, and the old medicine monster is used to making things difficult for people, the master went today, I don't know what he wants, and the slave and maid can also solve the ...... for the master."

"I've made up my mind, even if there is a case, I don't need you to take care of it, besides, when I go out of the palace to seek medical treatment for Qiu'er, I will no longer be an imperial concubine, I am just Qiu'er's mother!"

After Huai Sleeve finished speaking, he turned around and stepped out of the high threshold of the dormitory, and galloped out of the Forbidden City in a carriage alone.

When she entered the courtyard, she handed over the walnut crisp specially brought from the palace to the old woman, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring you a horseshoe crisp today, this walnut crisp tastes good, you can taste the habit of eating."

The old woman took the walnut cake and rubbed it, and sighed lightly: "Hey, although Xiao Yinzi's niece didn't come today, my old woman can hear that you are a good boy with a careful heart." But girl, listen to your mother-in-law's advice, go back as soon as possible, and beg this strange old man again, he won't go with you. ”

Huai Sleeve smiled and said gently: "Thank you mother-in-law for your kind words and persuasion, but no matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am still willing to give it a try." ”

When the old woman heard Huai Sleeve say this, she sighed lightly: "That's it, everyone has their own difficulties, and my wife won't persuade me, so you can go in!" Then he went back to his room.

He thanked the old woman with his sleeves, and gently pushed open the door of the old monster with a blue and white porcelain altar, and saw that he was still sleeping sweetly in the recliner as he did yesterday.

He tiptoed into the room, sat on a small stool by the stove, lit up the charcoal fire and boiled all the way to hot water, and cleaned the teacups and teapots one by one.

After about half an hour, the old medicine monster slowly turned over on the recliner, sniffled a few times and suddenly said, "Hmm! Fragrant, so fragrant! ”

Huai Sleeve raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I specially brought the rootless water that the old fairy said today, can you taste the taste of this tea?" ”

When the old medicine monster sat up, he was already smiling and serving the tea cup in front of the old medicine monster.

The old medicine monster didn't lie to be polite, Dafang took the teacup and took a sip, and nodded: "Well, the water and tea are just right!" ”

Seeing that he liked it, Huai Sleeve added tea juice to it with his own hands, and the old medicine monster drank a few teas, basked in the sun for a while, and then turned over and fell asleep again.

I listened to the snoring of the old medicine monster getting louder and louder, and then looked at the sun outside the window, and quietly went out of the door.

Around noon, the old medicine monster woke up slowly, stretched his waist, sniffed his nose and said, "Well, the pig's head meat in the Hutong!" ”

Huai Sleeve put a plate of thin crystal braised pig face and red oil cold pork ears on the tea table, and took a blue and white porcelain wine bottle, and said with a smile: "There is also a bottle of Shaoxing flower carving!" ”

The old medicine monster nodded and smiled: "Hey! This is good, if there is another plate of drunkard peanuts, it will be even more authentic! ”

He pulled out the cork of the bottle, poured a glass for the old medicine monster, and said with a smile: "I made a note of it, and I will definitely bring the drunkard peanuts another day." ”

As he spoke, Huai Sleeve poured himself a glass of wine, held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Today is also a fate between the two of us, and I will accompany the old fairy to drink a few cups." As you speak, raise your head and drain the wine in your glass.

The old medicine monster had already picked up the cup, but when he saw that Huai Sleeve had dried it first, he put the wine glass back on the table, looked at her and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the girl is a Manchu, right?" ”

Huai Sleeve nodded: "The old fairy is right, I grew up in the General's Mansion in northern Xinjiang since I was a child, and I am not from the capital. ”

The old medicine monster put down his chopsticks and said: "No wonder, the Manchu women have a good amount of wine, and my old man can't drink this wine today!" ”

Puzzled, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this?" ”

The old medicine monster pouted: "You can drink better than an old man like me, what if you get me drunk and trick me into going with you?" I don't drink it, I can't drink this wine! As he spoke, he pushed the wine glass far away, and sure enough, the wine did not stick.

Huai Sleeve was made to cry and laugh by his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I will accompany you to eat meat, this bottle of Shaoxing Huadiao, just keep it for you to drink slowly." ”

When she raised her eyes, she saw the old medicine monster sneaking a glance at the wine bottle in her hand, and her expression was like that of a child who was hungry for candy.

Huai Sleeve only felt funny, and suddenly felt that in fact, this old man with a strange temper was also a little interesting, and suddenly remembered the words of the blind old woman when she entered the door in the early morning: Everyone has their own difficulties......

Could it be that this strange old man is unwilling to enter the palace with her, and he also has his difficulties?

Huai Sleeve spent a whole day with the old medicine monster, only serving tea and pouring water, but did not mention anything about his illness. When the sun was setting in the west, he came out of the courtyard and sat in a rickety carriage, but suddenly thought about something in his arms.

And just as the carriage with sleeves was walking on the front foot, a middle-aged man in a blue poplin robe flashed at the other end of the alley.

The man watched the carriage go out of the alley and disappear into the sinking night, checked a lotus leaf bag in his hand, shook the slightly upturned inverted figure-eight mustache, and walked towards the small wooden door with a sneer on the corner of his lips.

Knocking lightly on the wooden door, and hearing the question of the blind old woman inside, the man coughed lightly and said, "Master, I am Xiao Yinzi, come to see Master." ”

When the old woman heard this, she walked over to open the door and said, "You kid, you just came here yesterday and you come here again today, why have you suddenly run so diligently these days?" ”

The door was opened as he spoke, and the middle-aged man put the lotus leaf bag in the old woman's hand, and said with a smile: "Master, there is still something going on at the pharmacy, so I won't go in, this is the sweet and sour tenderloin in Wuli Lane, which is Master's favorite food, and it's still hot, you can hand it over to the master." ”

The man left the lotus leaf bag and hurriedly left, leaving only the old woman standing alone at the door, holding the sweet and sour tenderloin that remained warm in her hand, and muttered: "This voice is Xiao Yinzi, yes, how strange is this kid today......
