Chapter 81: Yu's Illness
The main exam is only one day, and when it gets dark, you have to hand in the papers. It will take some time for the questions and poems in the test paper, Gu Chengyu polished the ink, spread out the draft paper, and wrote the scriptures first.
Approaching noon, Gu Chengyu could already feel the heat in the air. This year's August seems to be particularly hot, and under the scorching sun, the heat emitted will make the examination room like a steamer.
Gu Chengyu had just written the second question, and after writing for so long, he moved his body. Because he wrote carefully, he didn't feel the heat until this point. Hurriedly run the internal force throughout the body, and then I felt much more comfortable.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the other side, only to realize that the candidate on the other side had already taken off his coat. The sleeves of the middle coat were pulled up to his elbows, and the sweat on his head was still rising, and he was wiping the sweat with his coat.
Gu Chengyu looked at the other candidates opposite again, and found that they were all in the same situation! He shook his head, the college exam is always scheduled in August, and it is not allowed to bring fans into the examination room, and the ancients wore a lot, it was really hot enough!
The candidate opposite was so hot that he was not in the mood to write the test paper, and he was afraid that the sweat on his forehead would drip on the test paper, so he had to take his coat and wipe the sweat constantly. He looked up at the other side, and found that the little baby's clothes were not messed up at all, and he didn't see him wipe his forehead.
He felt a little strange, that candidate was not stupid, right? Isn't he hot? I still wear so many clothes and keep writing. He had doubts about himself, was it just that he was afraid of the heat? He glanced at the other candidates in the row opposite, and found that they were the same as himself, and his heart was a little more balanced.
Gu Chengyu didn't care about the look of the candidate opposite, the time was urgent, he couldn't waste it, he could go out early after the exam early. Just staying in a small examination booth, the range of activities is too small, and he feels panicked.
After finishing the second question, he didn't rush to copy it, but looked at the poem.
The title of the poem is called "Xiangling Drum", and the word "spirit" is obtained, and the requirements are still five words, six rhymes and twelve characters.
Gu Chengyu closed his eyes and thought for a while, this question should be from a sentence in "Chu Ci Far Travel", "Make Xiangling drum and make the sea dance Feng Yi", this article mainly talks about the legend of Emperor Shun and the goddess of Xiangshui.
Gu Chengyu plans to summarize the topic with the first two sentences, and the first thing to do is to buckle the topic. Gu Chengyu thought about it, and started from the sentence in "Nine Songs: Mrs. Xiang", "The emperor descended to Beizhu".
He put pen to paper and thought for a while, and wrote on the scratch paper, "Good drum clouds and se, often hear the emperor's spirit." Feng Yikong danced to himself, and Chu Ke was unbearable. "It's easier to get started.
He had just finished writing these four sentences, and someone came to deliver food on them. Gu Chengyu had to dry the draft paper, put away the exam papers and draft paper, and put them on the bed board inside.
In the back house of the government, a doctor was taking the pulse of a woman through the bed curtain. After a while, the doctor put away the handkerchief on his wrist, but did not speak.
Xi's mother hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed that hand into the bed curtain, and then pulled the bed curtain tightly.
"How? But what disease did you find out? "Xi's mother is very anxious, it's been two months, how can she do it if she goes on like this?
The doctor frowned and thought for a while, and then shook his head, "Forgive the old man for not being proficient in his studies, and he really can't diagnose any illness that Mrs. has!" If it is said that it is caused by exposure to some poison, then it should be shown on the pulse, so you should be smart! ”
No wonder he heard that there was a woman in the prefect's mansion who had a strange disease, and she was fine during the day, but she felt that her skin was itchy, but she could still bear it, but as long as it was night, it was so itchy that she wanted to scratch her skin. The hand just now was really scratched and there was no good meat at all, there were scratches on it, and some places had already scratched the flesh.
In the early autumn weather, the weather is still very hot, and it is not easy for the skin to ulcerate, and the skin on this woman has just been scratched after taking medicine, but it is scratched again at night, so how can it get better?
It's weird! He has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a strange disease, and he has no clue how to get this disease.
Xi's mother sighed, this is the eighth doctor, and all the famous doctors in Fucheng have been invited, and no doctor can see what kind of illness he has.
The maid sent the doctor out of the door, and then lifted the bed curtain and hung it on the hook, and Xi's mother saw the woman lying on the bed, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
The woman lying on the bed is Yu's, how can Yu's at this time still have the dignified and beautiful appearance at the beginning? The exposed skin on his body was covered with scratches, some of which had been scratched, and the flesh was festering.
"Ma'am! I'll wipe your body for you! Xi's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and was about to tell the girl to fetch water.
"Don't bother with that, isn't it uncomfortable to wash? Mom, do you think that's all I have for the rest of my life? Yu didn't dare to look in the mirror now, she was afraid of seeing her ugliness.
Xi's mother covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and forcibly suppressed the sobs that were about to overflow, "What is Mrs. talking about?" My wife will have a long life to come! It's good to get through these few days! ”
After hearing this, Yu Shi smiled bitterly, "Can it really be good?" After looking for so many doctors, I can't see what kind of disease I have, how can I get better? ”
"Ma'am! If you want to say that this disease is also strange, but if you say that you were poisoned, I tortured the people on duty in the house that day, and it is really impossible to be poisoned! "Xi's mother actually knows that poisoning is impossible, the old lady in the house looks at her in every way, and the wife is suspicious, and she is willing to eat after trying it with a silver needle.
"What's the use of talking about it now? Did I do what I asked my mother to do? Yu suddenly remembered that if it was done, it would make her feel more relaxed.
"The slave has sent your letter to the old lady, and has received a reply that she will do so. But does the wife really ignore the master? If there is really a rumor of fraud, then the master will not be able to please him! "Xi's mother thinks it's inappropriate when she thinks about this, her master has been in this position for nine years, if this happens again, let alone promotion, I'm afraid it's possible to downgrade!
"I'm like this now, how can I manage so much? God is so unfair, I can't watch that slut live a good life, I have to pull a few pads even if I die! As soon as Yu Shi talked about this, he felt that he had strength all over his body.
"What's the matter, madam? This disease will definitely get better. "Mother Xi can only comfort Yu like this at this time.
At this time, the girl outside was in the ceremony, and it was the master who came.
"How? Is my wife feeling better these days? Before the Jiang Governor came in, the voice came in.
"Back to the master, it's still the same!" Xi's mother wiped her tears and replied to Governor Jiang.
