Chapter 49 Poisoning on the back
Mukden City. Quick knife door.
Song Yuanzhen, the once high-spirited head of the Kuaidaomen, was sick in bed, and only his wife Zhang was waiting at this time.
A maidservant came in with a freshly fried decoction, "Madam, the medicine in charge is ready." ”
Zhang instructed: "The decoction is still a little hot, you can put it on the table first." She sat on the edge of the bed, sighed, and then lowered her head and whispered to Song Yuanzhen, "Get up, it's time to drink medicine." ”
Song Yuanzhen heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness was still a little confused, "What about Lin'er?" What about Lin'er? ”
"Husband, you get up first." Zhang helped Song Yuanzhen up and let him lean against the head of the bed, "Good, drink some medicine, when you get better, Lin Er will come back." ”
"No, what is that evil obstacle doing when he comes back? Get out of here, get out of here! Song Yuanzhen suddenly became excited, and Zhang hurriedly hugged him, comforted him and said, "Okay, let Lin Er not come back, husband, but you are still the head of our fast knife gate, you have to get better quickly!" ”
Song Yuanzhen felt the thin shirt on his chest wet, he looked down, and saw that the Zhang family in his arms was full of tears, he slowly calmed down, and asked cautiously: "Madam, why are you crying?" Then he wiped the tears from Zhang's face with his sleeve.
Seeing that although his husband was chaotic, he was still so gentle to her, and his heart suddenly became less bitter.
"Master." Yan Yuchang shouted outside the door, and the maidservant who was guarding the door entered the room to report to the Zhang family.
"Let him in."
Yan Yuchang entered the door, first asked the Zhang family for peace, and then asked Song Yuanzhen about his condition, "Is Master better?" ”
"It's still like this. These days, the big and small things in the gate are bothering you. ”
"The master is serious, how can it be troublesome, as the master's eldest disciple, it is my duty to share his worries."
At this time, the maidservant girl came in and whispered in Zhang's ear, "Madam, Mr. Liu in the accounting room has something urgent to find you." ”
Zhang frowned, and thought to himself: Why are you looking for her at this time.
Yan Yuchang saw Zhang's face, and then saw the decoction on the table, "Master, is it time for Master to drink the medicine?" ”
Zhang nodded, "The gentleman in the accounting room is really looking for me at this time." ”
"Master, if you don't dislike it, let me serve the master to drink medicine."
Seeing that Yan Yuchang came to visit his master so well-behaved every day, and asked her for peace, he was not half guarded in his heart, so he promised to hand over the matter of feeding the medicine to him, and then took the maidservant to the account room.
After everyone left, only Yan Yuchang and Song Yuanzhen were left in the room.
Yan Yuchang picked up the decoction on the table, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, "Master, I've taken the medicine." ”
Leaning on the head of the bed, Song Yuanzhen, who was bowing his head and pretending to sleep, raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the person in front of him was his eldest disciple Yan Yuchang, and said coldly: "It's you." ”
"That's right, it's Yuchang." Yan Yuchang scooped up a spoonful of decoction and handed it to Song Yuanzhen's mouth, "Master Niang has something to do and walked away, she told me to feed you medicine to Master." ”
"It's not good to practice, come here and pretend to be courteous." Song Yuanzhen looked at Yan Yuchang with disdain and knocked off the spoon he raised.
Yan Yuchang looked at the spoon that fell on the quilt, as if his dignity had been trampled on.
Although Song Yuanzhen was a little confused, he also knew that he was sick at this moment. When he saw Yan Yuchang's actions, he remembered that when he was a disciple before, he was pretending to serve beside the bedridden master. The only person in this world who can really treat him is his wife and children, and when he thinks that his son has become a daughter, his heart aches faintly, and his consciousness begins to blur again, "Lin'er...... Lin Er......"
Yan Yuchang silently picked up the spoon, left the bedside, turned his back to Song Yuanzhen, took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his body and poured it into the decoction.
The maid guarding the door didn't expect Yan Yuchang to come out so quickly.
"You go in and wait for the master to drink the medicine." Yan Yuchang said to her, "After feeding the decoction, do your part, don't talk too much, you know?" ”
The maid bowed her head and trembled in response, "The slave understands. ”
Yan Yuchang returned to his room and angrily swept all the things on the table to the ground.
Su An came to Yan Yuchang's room and saw the mess all over the ground, "Which senior brother is it that angers us?" ”
"It's not that old man yet, he's still thinking about his son when he's sick." Yan Yuchang put down all his pretense at this time and scolded his master without hesitation.
"Senior brother, it should be said that it is his daughter." Su An reminded.
Yan Yuchang laughed, "Haha, daughter, this old man has taught and cared for his son carefully over the years, but he didn't expect it to be just a void in the end, Song Jialin is a woman, he has no son to inherit the lineage, and no son to send him to the end!" ”
Su An echoed Yan Yuchang and also laughed at his master together.
"Yes, Su An, the powder you gave me is almost gone."
"Senior brother, why do you use it so quickly, the medicinal powder must be reduced little by little, and gradually increased, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered by others."
"The old man is sick like this, and no one will find out if he goes down to the next day." Yan Yuchang said arrogantly. He didn't want to wait any longer, the position of the head of the Quick Knife Gate must be his.
The two in the house were chatting hotly, and they didn't notice Mei Xingyuan, who was eavesdropping outside the house.
Although Mei Xingyuan has been dissatisfied with Senior Brother Jialin everywhere since he was a child, and he is also bitter and mean, he never expected that he would ridicule the head of the house so much, be disrespectful to the head of the house, and secretly drug the head of the house. He didn't know what to do when he heard the news, since the second senior brother killed someone and absconded, and after the senior brother learned that the second senior brother was his daughter, the senior brother became unscrupulous, and the disciples in the door were all flattering to the senior brother.
Unconsciously, Mei Xingyuan walked to the front of the head house, and he stood there, hesitating.
Zhang came back from the account room and saw Mei Xingyuan, "Xingyuan, are you here to visit your master?" ”
Mei Xingyuan nodded and followed Shi Niang into the door.
Zhang looked at the maidservant who was cleaning up the empty bowl on the table, and asked, "Has the head finished drinking the medicine?" ”
The maidservant replied: "Madam, just now Yan Gongzi has already fed the head of the family to take the decoction." ”
Mei Xingyuan heard that it was the decoction that the senior brother personally fed the master, and just wanted to say what he overheard to the senior brother, but the senior brother praised the filial piety of the senior brother again and again, "Yuchang is really a good boy, he comes to greet you every day, visits your master, and works hard to handle the big and small things in the door." Seeing Shi Niang's happy expression, he couldn't help but close his mouth.
After visiting his master, Mei Xingyuan ran to the city to hang out, thinking about what to do as he walked.
On the crowded road, a worker came pushing a small cart loaded with goods, and Mei Xingyuan, who was walking with his head down, did not notice all this.
Suddenly, a hand appeared and pulled Mei Xingyuan away, avoiding the loading cart.
Mei Xingyuan looked at the person who was holding him clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Second Senior Brother! ”
The person who grabbed Mei Xingyuan was Song Jialin.
"You're okay, you have to look at the road when you walk, be careful of hitting people." Song Jialin felt that it was really impossible to look at this little junior brother for a while.
