The old man came out of the west side room, Xu Qingyan had already withdrawn her senses, and was talking to Zelan and them casually at the moment.

Zelan glanced at the rain curtain outside and said, "Miss, look at this rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, why don't you let me go to the car to get some pastries, and you and the two young masters will eat some to cushion your stomach first." “

Xu Qingyan skimmed the corner of her eyes, shook her head and said: "No, the pastries are tasteless, we should eat some hot soup and rice in such weather, so that we didn't shoot a few pheasants on the road, you lead two people to the kitchen, take some mushrooms and herbs to stew the chicken, so that the big guys can drink some, so as not to get sick from the cold." ”

"Oh, slave maid is going now, Yingchun, Jasmine come and help" Zeeland responded cheerfully.

"Wait!" Seeing that they were about to go out, the old man hurriedly shouted, and then looked at Xu Qingyan with an unhappy face: "Didn't Miss just say that she would leave when the rain stopped, what are you going to do now?" “

"Cooking, don't worry, my girls are very neat, but stew a soup, you will definitely be able to get it done before the rain stops, and it will never be delayed." After speaking, seeing that the old man was still frowning, he said: "Besides, I just heard the cough in the room, and I think that the mother-in-law inside is suffering from a cold cough, and now the weather has not warmed up, and I have encountered such a cold wind and rain, if I don't drink some hot soup medicine to drive away the cold, I am afraid that I will suffer again." It just so happens that the soup we stew has the effect of repelling the cold and consolidating the foundation, and if you give your mother-in-law a bowl to drink, I think it can relieve a lot. ”

"This...."In front of the smiling girl, the old man choked all the words that were about to come out of his throat, was silent for a moment, and finally bent down and saluted: "So, then thank you, but you really can't stay here for a long time, and the girl should leave early after the rain stops." “

"Oh, why is that?" Xu Qingyan asked.

The old man shook his head and refused to speak.

Xu Qingyan frowned, and then smiled again: "It's strange to say, I passed through many villages on the way from Qingzhou, and the villagers have nothing to do with things like this to shelter from the rain or ask for water." But only in your village to avoid it, I think it is not the two taels of silver, I'm afraid my husband will not let us enter this door! “

The old man's face was ashamed of what she said, and then he sighed helplessly: "Hey..... It's not that the little old man is mean, it's really not that he can't stay! ”

"Why, what is the reason?" Xu Qingyan asked closely.

"This ......" The old man hesitated: "Because ......" As soon as the words began, he heard a violent cough from the west side room, and the old man's face stiffened, and he paused again, got up and went to the west house.

On the kang, the old woman coughed and her face turned red, and when she saw the old man coming in, she hurriedly shook her head at him.

The old man frowned and stepped forward, helped her up, and said, "You have a heavier cough today than yesterday, you can't delay any longer, I'll go and get you medicine as soon as the rain stops." “

The old woman shook her head: "Ahem.... Never mind.... Old Problem...... Can't break the root..... Cough..... Why waste that money....... and other weather ....... It would be nice to warm up....."

"This mother-in-law is sick in the lungs, and she has been sick for five or six years, and she coughs every winter or cold weather, and even more so at night, I am right."

The old man turned his head in surprise, but saw that Xu Qingyan had already stepped into the threshold, and was standing by the door at the moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the girl come in?" “

"Hearing that my mother-in-law coughed uncomfortably, out of the instinct of the doctor, I couldn't help but follow her, and I hope my husband forgives me for the offense." Xu Qingyan gave a blessing.

"It's okay, just listen to what the girl just said, is it a doctor?"

"Well, I studied medicine when I was a child, and now I have some success." She deliberately emphasized the word "childhood", just to tell her husband that she should not look at her young age, but her medical skills are still very good.

Sure enough, the word "childhood" touched the old man, the old man looked her up and down, although he was young, he spoke and acted in a disciplined manner, and he just talked about his wife's illness, not like telling lies.

I wanted to ask Xu Qingyan to diagnose the pulse, but I thought that she would take so many maids and small maids to serve when she traveled, and at first glance she was a young lady from a big family, maybe she would think they would not want to see it.

It's just that this girl said that the old woman's condition is so accurate, and the medical skills are indeed not low, if he misses it, he can only go to the county seat, but it is better not to go to the county seat.

Xu Qingyan saw it, and knew seven or eight in her heart, so she said: "The heart of the doctor's parents, if I have a fate to fall here today, I will show the old woman a look, and there is no need for consultation fees and medicine fees, as long as the old man tells me about the abnormal things in this village." ”

She took the initiative to speak, and her husband's tangled heart instantly settled down, and after a little thought, she responded.

The old woman's illness is actually not difficult to treat, but it is the same as her grandfather's illness, but it is more serious, but two bottles of lung cleansing charms can also solve it.

She took out two bottles of talisman water from her sleeve and handed them over: "These two bottles of potion are my family's ancestral secret recipe, three times a day, five drops each time, after drinking the two bottles of medicine, this cough is almost broken." “

"What? Can this medicine break the roots? But the doctor in the city said that the disease cannot be cured, even if you take medicine, it can only be slightly relieved. ”

"I said I could break it." Xu Qingyan smiled proudly: "After taking the two bottles of medicine, you will know that I am not lying, even now, if you let your mother-in-law drink some, you can immediately relieve the symptoms." ”

Seeing that she was so confident and calm, the old man's heart was a little worried, and he immediately opened the medicine bottle and fed the old woman some potions, and then let her have a good rest, and then led Xu Qingyan out of the West House and back to the hall.

"My husband can talk about it now."

"Nature."

poured a cup of tea for Xu Qingyan, and the old man sat down opposite her, and said slowly: "Our village was originally simple and simple, but because it has become like this, we have to start from two years ago......"

Xu Qingyan held the tea and listened to the story of her husband while drinking.

"At the end of the summer two years ago, a rich lady came to the village with a number of people, just like the girl today, and several carriages came into the village, saying only that the weather was hot, and she passed by here to ask for some water. Our village chief warmly welcomed them in, and this invitation caused an accident. ”

"At that time, the village chief's family had a son named Lu Liang, the child was not only handsome in life, but also a person who could read, and he was a talented man at a young age, and we all said that the child would have a great future in the future, and he would not be able to return to his hometown in the future, and the village chief was also happy, and pinned the hope of family glory on the child. When he was eighteen years old, he didn't urge him to get married, but wanted to wait for the child to go further, and give him a noble marriage, so that he could have a boost in his career in the future, but who knew that this kind of ......"

"The rich lady didn't know why, she only rested at the Lu family for half an hour, and she took a fancy to Lu Liang, and sent someone to the door the next day after she went back, and explicitly hinted that she wanted to get married."

"The village chief put all his hopes on Lu Liang at that time, and didn't want him to get married so quickly, so he politely refused."

"But the rich lady didn't give up when she heard it, so she made a fuss at home, and his family was reluctant, so they sent someone to the door to explain their identity, and wanted to use their identity to exert pressure."

"Identity pressure, what is the origin of the young lady?" Xu Qingyan asked.

"The daughter of the county princess." The old man sighed and continued: "They put pressure on their identities, and the village chief has to agree if they don't agree now, after all, they can't afford to offend the county Cheng, and the status of the daughter of the county Cheng is not low, I originally wanted to agree, but who knew that I was opposed by Lu Liang." ”

Lu Liang met with the daughter of the county Cheng, so he wanted to die or live, and he was very annoyed by the forced marriage regardless of the rules, and forcefully rejected the people sent by Liuxian Cheng to make peace. ”
