Chapter 168: The Gu Family
Poria smiled, "Isn't it just sick, if you can hold on to a happy event, you still have time to live, my princess is a miracle doctor, and there is no disease that cannot be cured." β
Poria said with confidence, her neck was raised, Su Rou shook her head violently on the side, "No one can cure Master Li's illness, you don't know, that horse crushed his foot bones, in order to save his life, that foot ...... No, a high-minded young master will have to live in a wheelchair for decades to come, how can he bear it? His illness is depressed, he has no will to survive, no matter how powerful the doctor is, it is useless, Mrs. Li thinks that the young master Li and the second sister are in love, and wants to marry the second sister into the door to stimulate him and let him live well. β
Poria cocos, her cheeks are crimson, no matter how powerful the princess is, she can't live to the dead and live with white bones, a broken leg can be cured, but the leg is gone, how can someone treat it?
Su Yi and Su Rou cared about Su Xue's marriage, and took Zhiwan to the old lady's house, and before they entered, they heard bursts of sobbing from the house, "I know that the Li family is sorry for the Su family, but since this family matter is decided, how can it be easily repented, who in Yongzhou City does not know that the young master of the Li family and the second miss of the Su family are in love, even if they quit, who can Xue'er marry?" Xun'er likes her, I think that her entry into the door can give Xun'er the courage to live, I only have such a son, I can't watch him die like this...... β
For Mrs. Li, the Su family is sympathetic, the eldest young master of the Li family, the Su family is satisfied, the talent and appearance are all excellent, and they are among the best in Yongzhou City, but they know that the eldest young master of the Li family will die soon, and they still push the second girl into the fire pit, isn't this taking a knife to cut the heart of Mrs. and the old lady again?
Zhiwan was a little sympathetic, it was originally a happy marriage, why did there be an accident, so I listened to Su Xue begging, "Mother, my daughter doesn't regret it, my daughter is willing to marry!" β
Mrs. Su turned her face away. Silently wiped his tears, sobbing and didn't know what to say, the custom of Yongzhou, and made a marriage. is going to get married, if you don't get married, then you have to stay at home for two years before you can re-appoint someone, at that time Xue'er is eighteen, even if you can say kiss, what can you say about kissing?
Seeing that Mrs. Su did not object, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand tightened, and she said again and again, "I heard that the princess of the county lives in Su Mansion. She is a miracle doctor who spreads all over Dayue, can you ask her to come to my house to help Xiao'er take a look? β
The old lady also had this idea, and she had a pain in her back two days ago, and she pricked her with a few stitches, which made her much more comfortable. I have prepared medicine again, and after taking it for a few days, my body and bones are a lot refreshed, but no matter how high my medical skills are, what can be cured is the disease, not the heart!
The maid came in and saw Zhiwan and Su Yi standing at the screen. Hurry up and say goodbye, Zhiwan nodded her head and stepped in, and Mrs. Li hurriedly got up and saluted.
Su Xue also begged Zhiwan to save the eldest young master of the Li family, and Zhiwan hurriedly helped her up and said, "I'll take a look." Heal him as much as you can. β
When Mrs. Li heard this, her sad face finally brought three points of joy, and she couldn't wait, but she knew that Princess Yuejun was willing to go to the Li family for the sake of the Su family's face, so she didn't dare and couldn't urge. Fortunately, the old lady looked at the sky, and when she went out at this hour, she could still rush back for lunch, and she would be hungry if it was too late.
left Su's house, got into the carriage, and went straight to Li's house.
When Master Li heard that Princess Yuejun had come to see his son, he was so flattered that he couldn't even speak, so he and Mrs. Li led Zhiwan to see Master Li.
When Zhiwan entered, she happened to encounter a bloody scene, and Young Master Li fell directly in front of her, Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth, "You don't have to make such a big salute, right?" β
Su Xue hurriedly went to help Young Master Li get up, but Young Master Li obviously didn't appreciate it, and pushed Su Xue away with a push of his hand, got up from the ground with difficulty, and let the little guy help him go, and didn't speak when he saw his father and his mother, let alone salute, but glanced at Zhiwan, his eyes were lukewarm.
Zhiwan went to help Su Xue up, and said lightly, "How can Young Master Li be as good as you say, he has no respect for his superiors, no distinction between dignity and inferiority, even if such a person is cured, sooner or later he will be a loser." β
Su Xue's beautiful eyes were full of tears, she didn't know how he became like this, and his attitude towards her plummeted, according to her, thousands of miles away.
Mrs. Li was afraid that Li Sixun would offend Zhiwan, so she hurriedly pulled him to apologize to Zhiwan, but Li Sixun was unmoved at all, "If your son is not filial, she will let Princess Yuejun cut her son." β
Mrs. Li almost died of anger, her eyes fell down, Li Sixun couldn't bear to look at it, turned her face sideways, and curled the corners of her lips at night, this person's heart was not so hard that it was hopeless, and she would save him if he would rather be alien than hurt Su Xue.
However, before Zhiwan could speak, Li Sixun coldly spit out two words, "Send off!" β
These words sound a little familiar, it was the words of the head of the Wu family that she bombarded that day, I didn't expect it to fall on her head today, I couldn't cry or laugh at night, Master Li almost fainted, was the princess of Yuejun offended by their Li family, and people condescended to see a doctor for him, but he had such an attitude, he really wanted to be angry with him!
Mrs. Li hurriedly pleaded, "The princess of the county is angry, after the dog has fallen ill, her temperament has changed greatly, and the princess of the county should not be like him." β
Patients are easy to be short-tempered, this is a very common thing, how can Zhiwan not even have this little belly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't meet him in general, but I want to double the consultation fee." β
The first village aunt treated people, and after being cured, she charged 10,000 taels of silver, and if she couldn't cure it, she didn't take a penny, and if she doubled it, it was 20,000 taels, which is not the point, the point is that she will receive it when it is cured, what does the princess of the county mean?
Before Mrs. Li could react, Master Li was already overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I also ask the princess of the county to treat the child." β
Zhiwan walked over to Li Sixun and glanced at his face, "It's no big deal, it's just hungry, I think even if he dies, he will starve to death, bring him a bowl of porridge." β
How can you die if you don't starve to death, if you want to buy poison, you have to buy it, which maid and maid dare to provide him with poison, and he will die.
Mrs. Li hurriedly asked the maid to bring the porridge, but Li Sixun didn't eat it at all, and the maid handed it two more times, and he threw it away.
Coincidentally, some porridge was spilled on Zhiwan's skirt, and the angry Poria scolded, "I've never seen you like this, wouldn't it be good if you want to die and hit the wall directly, so slowly starve to death, torture yourself and toss others, a big man, doing things so twisted and pinched." Shame on ....... β
Li Sixun almost gasped in anger, but Zhiwan covered his mouth and smiled, and he didn't blame Poria, this person should be scolded like this.
Zhiwan walked over to him. He put another bowl of porridge brought by the maid in front of him, and said with a smile, "If you want to stand up, you can obediently eat this bowl of porridge and eat it clean." β
Li Sixun was stunned for a moment, a flash of despair in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and dim, "Impossible, my feet are gone, how can I stand up?" β
Zhiwan didn't pay attention to him at all, and his eyes fell on the porridge. "I'll ask after eating."
Li Sixun didn't believe it at all, but he was a little suspicious, Mrs. Li said on the side that Zhiwan was a miracle doctor, and asked Li Sixun to eat it quickly, and Li Sixun ate it suspiciously.
When you're done, put the bowl on the table. Only then did he look at Zhiwan, but Zhiwan asked the maid to take a pen and ink, and drew Li Sixun's other foot, and then said to Li Sixun, "Don't worry, a little illness will not take three days." I'll be cured. β
...... a minor illness?
Li Sixun looked at his broken leg, a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, and he turned his face away, he didn't believe Zhiwan's words at all, but it was Mrs. Li and Su Xue, asking if what Zhiwan said was true.
Poria was dissatisfied. What she was most dissatisfied with was that someone questioned Zhiwan's medical skills, and immediately said, "Didn't you prepare double the consultation fee, if it can't be cured, my princess will not charge the consultation fee." β
Mrs. Li said yes again and again. Su Xue looked at Zhiwan, Zhiwan patted her hand, glanced at Li Sixun and said, "He is my future cousin-in-law, how can I see death and not save him, in the future, he can walk and run, but if he bears you, I will definitely break his other leg." β
After a few days of getting along, Su Xue also knew a little bit about Zhiwan, and knew that she wouldn't lie to her, but she couldn't figure it out, how could she still walk with a broken leg?
Li Sixun looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl on the table and was stunned, did he really have a chance to walk? Is there a chance to run?
Li Sixun saw Su Xue in the spare eyes of his eyes, and saw tears hanging on her delicate and fair cheeks, wanting to fall, as if he saw the crystal dew on the grapes, he was distracted for a while, and forgot that there were other people in the house.
Zhiwan looked at him like that, smiling lightly at the bottom of her eyes, she could see from his eyes that he did have Su Xue in his heart, and Su Xue also noticed it, like snow cheeks ruddy and flying rouge, and she was shy and eager to burrow into the ground.
Mrs. Li and Master Li are half happy and half sad, the joy is naturally that Li Sixun and Su Xue are in love, and the worry is whether it is true that his leg can be cured, and he always feels hanging.
I really hope that three days can pass in the blink of an eye.
Su Xue blushed and moved behind Zhiwan, Zhiwan couldn't hold back, and laughed, Li Sixun's face was also red, his eyes flashed, no better than Su Xue.
Zhiwan was amused and angry, and teased Young Master Li, "Why don't you fall again and let Su Xue help you up?" β
Li Sixun's flushed face was immediately comparable to that of tomatoes, and he was afraid of Zhiwan's gaze, so he hurriedly asked the little girl to help him back to lie on the bed.
The little guy thought that his young master did it on purpose, so he gave him a handful, okay, it's really embarrassing now, Li Sixun can't wait to really hit the floor and die.
Poria covered her mouth and giggled, looking at Su Xue with her eyes, Su Xue blushed and stomped her feet and ran out of the house, Zhiwan shook her head and chuckled out of the house, behind her was Mrs. Li's laughter, "Xun'er, didn't you tell your mother that you don't like Xue'er, since you like it, and it's your betrothed fiancΓ©e, my mother will go to Su Mansion in a few days to set a date for you, marry her into the door as soon as possible, and spread the branches for the Li family." β
After speaking, he hurriedly sent Zhiwan out with Master Li.
Inside the house, Young Master Li supported the floor with both hands, gritted his teeth and looked at the little guy, the little guy looked aggrieved, the young master better not to eat, he had the strength to stare at people after eating, but he still quickly helped him up.
Besides, Zhiwan, out of the small courtyard, walked behind to chase Su Xue, Su Xue was afraid that Zhiwan would laugh shamefully, and she couldn't wait to fly away from Zhiwan with her skirt, Zhiwan was not satisfied, "What's wrong with Xiaoxiao, if you don't like him, he and I are just strangers, and I won't treat his legs." β
Before the words fell, Su Xue's footsteps suddenly stopped, biting her lip and looking back at Zhiwan, the blush on her face had not faded, and she looked even more delicate.
Zhiwan walked over calmly, with a smile between his eyebrows, but his face was deliberately tense, "It's just a little funny, and you blush like this?" Young Master Li is still lying on the ground waiting for you to help him up, you ran away without looking back, I guess his careful liver must have been broken into one petal, I can heal his legs, but I can't cure people's hearts, heart disease still needs heart medicine......! β
Mrs. Li and Master Li followed. I don't dare to laugh, I can't imagine that King Yue is such an unattainable character, but there is such an amiable, lively and interesting princess, and it is rare that she has a close relationship with Xue'er. In the future, Xue'er married in, even if there was no Su family to protect her, they didn't dare to give her a look easily.
Su Xue bit her lip, she really wanted to turn her head and leave, but her feet seemed to be frozen, she couldn't move, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand twisted lightly, "Cousin, can you really cure his leg, how do you want to cure it?" β
Speaking of leg treatment. Zhiwan's eyes blinked lightly, and he instructed Leng Shidao, "Go to Yongzhou Yamen and find the prefect to buy a few cows and come back." β
In ancient times, cattle were an important labor force. It is illegal to kill at will, there is any meat on the table, but it is difficult to find beef, I know that I have come to Dayue Dynasty for so long, and I have not eaten a piece of beef, so I just had a good time this time.
Leng Shi and Leng Mu were ordered to protect the safety of Zhiwan, for Zhiwan's medical skills. The two were convinced, and they were also very curious about how Zhiwan treated a broken leg, and were expecting her answer, but it turned out to be buying cattle, did the topic change too quickly?
Leng Shi didn't dare to question it, and was ordered to buy cattle. Mrs. Li wanted to shout that there were a lot of cattle on her Zhuangzi, but she didn't dare to say it, the princess of the county, the dignified Su family. Can there still be no cows?
Could it be that the cattle bought from the prefect are different?
Su Xue thought that Zhiwan was talking about him left and right, and she didn't want to say how to treat her, for fear of making her angry, so she didn't dare to continue to ask, so she helped Zhiwan by one arm and went out of Li's house.
Leng Shi's efficiency was very fast, and when they arrived at the door of Su's house, Leng Shi and a group of officers and soldiers drove ten cows back, as well as the county government master's book, and cautiously asked Zhiwan, "County princess, is ten cows enough, not enough, my subordinates will send them to you early in the morning." β
Zhiwan glanced at the cattle and nodded his head, "Don't delay farming." β
The master bookkeeper nodded again and again, and carefully led a group of officials back to the yamen to resume his life.
Shou'an Courtyard, the residence of Mrs. Su, when Zhiwan entered the house, the maid had already put the food on the table, and when the old lady saw Zhiwan, she complained, "I came back so late, my stomach is hungry, hurry up and eat." β
Zhiwan helped the old lady and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I ate some pastries, and I didn't go hungry, but I caused my grandfather and grandmother to wait for me. β
The old lady glanced at Zhiwan with disgust, pinched her face, cleaned her hands together, and then sat down.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but ask about Young Master Li's situation, Su Xue bit her lip and didn't speak, and Zhiwan replied with a smile, "It's not a big deal, Young Master Li is not critically ill, but he is on a hunger strike and can't die." β
The old lady nodded lightly, "It's okay, that kid is also a miserable life, it is the age of high spirits but lingering on the sickbed, no one can stand it, how many generals with broken arms on the battlefield, not all of them are alive and well, he wants to seek death and life like this again, this family business will be retreated." β
Su Xue lowered her head, and when she heard the old lady's words, she bit her lip tightly and said softly, "Cousin said that she can make Brother Xun run and walk." β
The old lady was drinking wine, and when she heard Su Xue's words, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Zhiwan, "Is there really such a medical skill of the flesh and bones of the living dead?" β
The crow who knew the end of the day wandered and sang, "Grandfather, how can there be such medical skills in the world." β
"How did you walk with a broken leg? It's not like singing on the stage, is it? Su Rou was young and asked openly.
Su Yi patted her on the head, "Nonsense, Young Master Li is so big, how big are the legs, how to go, my cousin pulled ten cows back, it must be with a cow leg." β
Zhiwan couldn't cry or laugh, the corners of his mouth and eyes twitched, and he really admired the imagination of these people, especially Su Xiangxing and Mrs. Su looked at her like this, as if Zhiwan really planned to pretend to be a cow leg for Li Sixun, if that's the case, then it's better not to pretend, it's better to be in a wheelchair than to go out and be asked, your cow leg is easy to use, and you can walk neatly, right?
Zhiwan bit his chopsticks, holding back the urge to laugh and said, "I want to replace the young master of the Li family with a beef leg, but I don't have that ability, I have a useful role for those cows, and I will make some snacks for you to taste tomorrow." β
When the old lady heard that Zhiwan was going to eat cattle or plough cattle, her brows frowned, "One cow is worth three or five laborers, and it is enough for you to eat one, and the rest is still ......." β
Before the old lady finished speaking, she was glared at by the old lady, "It's just ten cows, and I know that I will eat a hundred cows, and my wife will buy them too." β
Although the old lady is a merchant, he will work in the field every year, this is the family rule of the Su family, so as not to divide the four bodies of the descendants of the Su family, and the people who go to the field know how important the cattle are when they plough the land, and they are a little embarrassed, "Grandfather, why don't you open a cattle farm for the Su family in the future?" I promise that everyone will enjoy Ming'er's snacks. β
Su Xiangxing said with a smile, "Your ability to make money, my uncle has seen it, and I will tell the manager to open a cattle farm and raise it for food." β
When it comes to making money, Mrs. Su has nothing to say, the Yongzhou Coal Mine has already started construction, and the Su family has also used it, it is really easy to use, so she didn't speak, she raised it herself, and she could eat whatever she wanted.
Putting aside the matter of the eldest young master of the Li family breaking his leg, everyone talked and laughed, and ate a meal for half an hour.
After eating, Sister-in-law Qian and Chunxiang brought Chen'er Si'er to Zhiwan to see, the old lady liked the two children the most, and looked at Zhiwan with a smile, "How did my grandfather hear that the prince of the county doesn't like Chen'er and wants to give Chen'er away?" If you don't want to raise it, your grandfather will help you raise it when he has nothing to do. β
When the old lady heard this, she gouged out the old lady's eyes fiercely, "Chen'er is the little prince who was personally appointed by the emperor, how can he live in the business, the prince of the county just didn't hold a child, you have held a child before?" β
The old lady listened to his own wife tear down his platform, and his face was a little unbearable, "It is said that hugging grandchildren or not hugging children is a rule handed down from the ancestors, and it cannot be abolished." β
The old lady was angry, "Crooked, you have to hug your grandson, catch Ming'er and ask Ang'er to marry her daughter-in-law into the door, give birth to a big fat boy for you, let you tease you, don't be bored again when the time comes, Chen'er is the grandson of the king of Zhennan, and it hurts in his palm when he holds his hands, do you want to let Chen'er go back, see if he doesn't lead the three armies to level you." β
At the door, Su Ang stepped in, and when he heard the old lady's words, he took a foot into the door and silently took it back, and turned around to run, but Su Xue's eyes were sharp and shouted, "Big brother, are you interested in someone?" β
Su Xue shouted loudly, and there was a hint of urgency, she blushed for more than an hour today, if she didn't lead the spearhead to her eldest brother, she was uncomfortable, she couldn't always be shy alone, brothers and sisters, sharing blessings and difficulties.
Su Ang was speechless, he knew that he shouldn't have come back, turned around with a jade fan, entered the door to ask for peace first, and then sat down next to the old lady, laughing at Chen'er, and after two sentences, he patted his head and said that there was an appointment, where is there a poetry meeting, I want to show my face, and I slipped away after speaking.
Mrs. Su scolded angrily, "Mention family affairs with him, he is so virtuous, either hiding or playing sloppy, he is eighteen years old, and the family affairs have not been decided, look at the prince of the county, the children are all crowned kings." β
Su Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother, don't worry, the eldest brother has a sweetheart, and I secretly asked my daughter what she likes, I thought it was given to the second sister, and secretly asked Yuanbao, he said that the eldest brother gave a gag order, and if he leaked a sentence, he would be punished." β
Mrs. Su was angry and funny, and a little worried, "Don't like which official lady." β
Su Xue took Mrs. Su's arm and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, the eldest brother knows the family rules and will not break them easily, when the eldest brother comes back, I will ask him carefully, it really can't work, I will arrest the ingots, interrogate them carefully, and marry the eldest sister-in-law into the door as soon as possible, okay?" β
Mrs. Su is not a relaxed person, and immediately asked the maid to call Yuanbao, and after three or two words of intimidation, Yuanbao confessed tremblingly, "The young master has fallen in love with the girl of the Gu family." β
Mrs. Su frowned, Yongzhou is not small, but there is only one family surnamed Gu in a large family, isn't the girl of the Gu family already a good person, "Which Gu family?" β
"It's the Gu family in the east of the city."
The old lady frowned and was displeased, "The girl of the Gu family is not bad, but she has made a promise, and she will get married in half a year, Ang'er won't know, doesn't Ang'er like the Gu family's daughter?" β
Yuan Bao shook his head again and again, "No, no, the slave is not very clear, the girl is with the girl of the Gu family, and the girl of the Gu family called her cousin, she should have come to congratulate Master Gu on his birthday." β
