There is no doubt that Shengsheng has been idle at home for the first ten years, and now he is in his fifties, Fang was ordered by the heavenly family to recover, Erlang is about to get married, when the family enters Beijing, he is happy, but he does not want to be in good health Zeng Budo, but when he arrived in Nanjing, he suddenly fell ill, and because of the bad delay Erlang Zigu marriage, afraid of missing the day, the original Zhu and Zeng Budo meaning, is to call Erlang and Wulang Zifu Zijian and Zijing to enter Beijing, and keep Zeng Ziye and Shilang two brothers to serve by their side.

But the old father is seriously ill, how can Zigu be willing to abandon the old father and enter Beijing to get married by himself? Therefore, he insisted on staying, because after a few days of recuperation, Zeng Budo's illness finally improved, seeing that Zigu was unwilling to go first, Zeng Budo's body was also better, so the family set off together, walking and stopping, so that it was delayed for nearly a month to enter Beijing.

Looking at the dying father, Banniang just didn't want to make the old lady sad, and she couldn't stop shedding tears.

After settling down with her parents, Banniang hurriedly asked Cang'er to personally send a letter to the Yijun Palace, only saying that Dr. Zeng was seriously ill on the road, and they were not familiar with it in Beijing, and hoped that the king of Yijun or the princess would be free, and he could invite a better husband to take a look.

In May, she stayed in the kitchen and let people go to the flower hall with food, and Banniang guarded her father and asked her mother and her brothers to eat first.

It was Xia Rong, Qiu Wei, and Xiaofu who were serving on the road that were also led to eat in the wing room by May.

Not to mention how the mothers-in-law packed up the houses and settled down. After eating, Banniang saw that her father was asleep, so she got up and went outside to tell her brother about parting. I also learned that everything was fine at home, and after the New Year, Lu Siniang and Fan Danshu were also pregnant one after another, so they showed some joy.

talked about the second brother's marriage again, Banniang said that everything was arranged, because this time the father and mother came and brought the dowry, Banniang smiled and said: "I am also on the dowry list, and I have prepared some more, and the new house has been cleaned up." The second brother's sister, Mrs. Ouyang, also helped, and the godmother sat in our house all day long. Mother doesn't have to worry about what is missing. ”

Zhu said with a smile: "So you have to thank Mrs. Ouyang and Cai Fucai." ”

"This is natural," because it was his own business, annoying the two mansions, Zeng Zigu hurriedly smiled, "The two days are free, and my son will go to the two mansions to thank you." ”

After talking for a while, Banniang thought that they had to rush all the way, and they had to take care of their seriously ill father, probably neither eating well, but also sleeping well, so she called May, and heard that the house was cleaned up, so she asked the brothers to go to sleep for a while, and stay until the evening to talk. He personally served her mother, and she also rested on the bed.

Zhu was tired all the way, and finally arrived home at this time, his heart was settled, he just wanted to be crooked for a while, and he didn't want to whisper to Banniang for a while, so he fell asleep unconsciously.

Banniang hurriedly called Xia Rong and Qiu Wei to guard, and she led May to the kitchen. She was going to cook dinner for her parents and brothers. I didn't feel at ease, so I asked Xiaofu to personally guard the medicine for my father.

In this way, in the evening, the master of the Chao family and Mrs. Cai, the godmother, came to visit in person. In Ouyang's mansion, although Duke Ouyang and Mrs. Ouyang did not come in person, they also sent a competent housekeeper to visit.

Banniang had to ask someone to invite the second brother to accompany her, and led Mrs. Cai to talk in the courtyard where her father and mother lived. Because I heard that Mrs. Cai was coming to visit, the Zhu family also got up, packed up, and was about to come out to greet her, but Banniang had already led Mrs. Cai into the hospital.

Who knew that before he could say a few words, he heard someone report that the Yijun Wangfu had sent someone.

Banniang went to the front yard busily, although there are now eldest and second brothers to entertain guests, but because she asked the favor of Yijun Wangfu to invite a good doctor, I don't know if she really sent someone to see her father.

When I arrived at the front yard, the second brother heard that it was someone from the palace of Yijun, so he relied on the old Taishan Chao and went to entertain guests, and Banniang also rushed over, and the person who came was Wang Changshi, who gave her help last time.

The Wang Changshi saw the two brothers and sisters, stepped forward and saluted, and Banniang also stopped, although this Mr. Zigu was dressed in white, but now none of them can be underestimated, so he was busy making a respectful attitude, and said: "In the afternoon, I got Miss Zeng's letter, because the prince was not in the house, the princess hurriedly ordered someone to invite the palace Imperial Doctor Wu to come, and asked the villain to wait outside the palace, and saw that the person directly brought it over, first help the old man Zeng to see, and wait for the prescription to be prescribed, if there is a difficult medicine, if Mr. Zigu and Miss Zeng are rare for a while, the villain will go back to the palace to see." , can it be matched. This Imperial Doctor Wu is extremely famous, and Mr. and Miss Zeng don't have to worry too much about Dr. Zeng's illness. ”

Zeng Zigu said with a smile: "But it's troublesome to the princess and princess, and when I turn around, I will definitely come to the door to thank you." ”

When Wang Changshi heard Zeng Zigu say that he would come to the door to thank him in person, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If Mr. Zigu can come in person, if the prince of my county hears it, he will be happy." ”

He said: "This is not the time to speak, it is still the body of the master of the mansion that matters, so please ask the two of you to lead Doctor Wu to show the doctor master." ”

Zeng Zi Guyuan was also worried about his father's increasingly serious condition, and when he heard this, he was not humble, so he first invited Wang Changshi to sit and drink tea, and then sent someone to Chao to confess his sin, and then together with Banniang, he led Doctor Wu to see his father.

Because he heard that it was Imperial Doctor Wu who came, even Mrs. Cai's face showed joy, and when she rushed to Imperial Doctor Wu to see her, Zhu, who was worried, said in a low voice: "This Imperial Doctor Wu is the highest medical skill in the Imperial Hospital, and he rarely goes out of the palace for treatment, so he can come today, but fortunately, the illness of the old man in the house is half better." ”

Although Zhu knew that this was a word of comfort, he also had some hope in his heart.

The Imperial Doctor Wu looked at it and asked, and after half a sound, he came out of the inner room, shook his head, and said to Zeng Zigu: "It was just a cold invasion, but Master Zeng is old, and the illness is urgent, if it is half a month earlier, maybe it can be bigger, this has dragged on until now, and it is not as good as at home along the way...... Let's try a few pairs of drugs first. ”

Although the Zhu family had been prepared, they were also shaky when they heard this, but fortunately, Mrs. Cai quickly supported her, and Banniang couldn't take care of her at this time, so she went out after Zeng Zigu, and led Imperial Doctor Wu to write the prescription first, and then said: "Lord Wu, I hope you will say something accurate, my father, what is his body?" ”

Imperial Doctor Wu didn't expect that it was not Zeng Zigu who asked this, but this little lady. Twisting his beard, he said thoughtfully: "If this medicine can still have some effect after taking it, it can always drag on for three or five months, if it has no effect at all...... Most in January. ”

Banniang respectfully gave Imperial Doctor Wu a big salute: "The slave is higher than Lord Wu." I also hope that when Lord Wu is free, he can take time to take a look at his father. ”

Imperial Doctor Wu said: "This is natural, I only prescribed medicine for three days, and after three days, I will come again." ”

Zeng Zigu was stunned because of what Master Wu said just now.

When my father set off from Nanfeng, he was obviously in good health, and if it wasn't for their dedication to serving him, he wouldn't have fallen ill. Even if he was sick, if it wasn't for the fact that his wedding date was approaching, the family was in a hurry, but found a place to recuperate carefully, why would he drag the illness to the way it is now?

Although my father's entry into Beijing is a debriefing and there are regular periods, serious illness is also a special circumstance, and it may not be allowed by the heavenly family.

When you think about it this way, isn't it just regret and chagrin? It's even more self-reproachful.

Thinking about my father's lifelong ambitions, I see that there is a chance to realize them, but if I go here, how can I turn a blind eye?

"Second brother?"

was called by Banniang, Zeng Zigu came back to his senses, and hurriedly gave Imperial Doctor Wu a respectful salute and thanked him. Banniang offered the honorarium again, but it was a gold ingot of ten taels, and now the imperial doctor Wu was not calm, and was busy refusing to resign, but Banniang insisted that he accept it: "It's troublesome Lord Wu." My father's illness is also a ...... for Lord Wu Thank you in advance. ”

Those who can invite his old man are only some princes, and the remuneration is sufficient, but it is really not much to take out ten taels of gold ingots at once. But if this is not income, with the current status of the Zeng family, it seems that he did not take Master Zeng's illness to heart.

Imperial Doctor Wu excused himself and accepted it.

Zeng Zigu sent him out, but Banniang didn't worry about others, so she asked Xu Shisan to grab the medicine in person, and she turned back to the courtyard to visit her father.

Because of Mrs. Cai's presence, although the Zhu family is sad and desperate, they can still hold on.

Banniang also cleaned up the unstoppable sadness in her heart, wiped away the tears on her face, and then entered the house with a smiling face. Mrs. Cai saw her coming, and the two of them together unraveled Zhu's turnover, seeing that it was not early, and naturally could not stay for dinner at this time, so they had to leave, Zhu knew that the family was in chaos at this time, and it was not the time to entertain guests, so he cheered up, sent Mrs. Cai, and asked Banniang to send Mrs. Cai out.

Mrs. Cai said with a smile: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite to me, it's also a family, I often come here, and the maids and daughters-in-law all know each other." He turned back and told Banniang, "Give birth to take care of your mother, Master Zeng is in need of someone to take care of him, don't let your mother be tired and sick." ”

Banniang responded yes and sent it to the corridor, Cai Ren asked her and her mother to enter the house, and the maids guarding outside greeted her, Banniang sent Mrs. Cai out of the courtyard, and was explained by Mrs. Cai a few words, so that if she had something, she would send a letter to Mrs. Cai, and then she went.

Banniang went back to the house, there were only two mothers and daughters at this time, Zhu pulled Banniang and couldn't stop crying, but he didn't dare to cry, for fear that the old man lying inside would hear it.

Seeing her mother like this, Banniang was even more sad, hugged Zhu and didn't speak, only patted her shoulder comfortingly, this is what we are afraid of, if you don't ask her to vent, I'm afraid that she will be depressed and fall ill again, so how can it be good?

After crying happily for a while, Zhu took the handkerchief handed by Banniang and wiped his tears.

A husband and wife for more than 20 years, the master has become like this now, how can she not be sad? But no matter how sad she is, she is a mother, and she can't be blindly sad, she threw everything to a few children, wiped away her tears, and asked Banniang: "Can Imperial Doctor Wu's prescription be written?" ”
