Chapter 50: Broken Branches and New Shoots
It snowed again on this day, and in the bamboo house of Nanwangfu, a brazier was erected, and the senior sister helped him grind medicinal herbs on the edge of the brazier.
When have you been thinking about what Tiyun and Wang Duzhi said that day these days, he turned his face to look at the senior sister.
Her hair was simply coiled, some of the broken hair fell from her forehead, and the charcoal fire and candlelight reflected on her face, as if covered with a soft veil. The senior sister was so gentle and touching in front of him. After looking at it for a long time, her face seemed a little hazy.
"What are you staring at me?" The senior sister raised her head, glanced at him with a smile, and immediately lowered her head.
The seeds of doubt have been planted in my heart, and I suspect that I am a traitor. If you don't verify it, I'm afraid it will cause more harm in the future. In fact, he was also afraid in his heart, if she was really a traitor, then what should he do...... When the time came, he frowned.
"Therefore, ......" made a decision in his heart, "Do you remember Feng Gongzi who came yesterday?" ”
"Remember, what's wrong?" The senior sister looked up at him.
"Something suddenly occurred to me. Feng Gongzi's wife, Han, is an excellent friend of the general's wife. Han opened a pharmacy in Kyoto, and his wife had a headache recently, so she went to see a doctor and dispensed medicine there, but she didn't get better for half a month. Han also took care of the fetus in his wife's womb and didn't know how to use medicine, so Tuo Feng asked me to write a prescription. ”
"I forgot about this yesterday, tomorrow you can help me take the prescription directly to the pharmacy and hand it over to the Han family." When the time came, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the senior sister, "This prescription is my unique medicine, and it can't be seen by people at will." ”
"Okay." The senior sister put down the bag in her hand, looked up and took the letter from him.
When I went out early the next morning, the senior sister always felt that something was wrong when she looked at the letter in her hand, and usually always trusted her in every way, even if this recipe was an ancestral secret recipe, there was no need to seal the letter...... I don't know why I want to avoid her this time.
Senior Sister hesitated a little, she hesitated for a while, but still walked into General Yunhe's mansion with the letter.
She told Yunhe the ins and outs of the matter, and took out the letter from her arms, "This matter is about your wife, we must always be careful." If it's really just a prescription, it's nothing, if it's something......"
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Yunhe took the letter and opened it to look at it, his brows furrowed and his face became serious, and he immediately turned around and asked the girl next to him sharply, "What about Madame?" ”
"Madame went to the Han Pharmacy in the east of the city." The girl on the side was startled by his voice and replied tremblingly.
"I've got to go and see what medicine they're selling in their gourd!" Yunhe stuffed the letter to the senior sister, and rushed out of the house and turned over on the horse, "Don't come with you, so as not to be exposed!" ”
The senior sister watched Yunhe get on the horse and leave, picked up the letter and looked at it, there was only one sentence on the letter.
Lead the lady to the old courtyard of Yangliu Lane.
When is it, why did you let the Han family take Mrs. to Willow Lane? It's impossible to do anything to Madame in Kyoto...... The senior sister was a little uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that the whole thing was a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange.
After a while, she suddenly reacted and immediately got up to chase Yunhe. Don't go to Yunhe, this is a trap!
The wind was cold, and the weather was slippery. Yunhe hurried all the way to Han's pharmacy and was told that Han's had gone out with his wife. So I asked passers-by about the location of Yangliu Lane, and hurried over again.
The senior sister rode all the way to raise the whip, but no matter how fast she was, she couldn't catch up with Yunhe's departure one step ahead.
At this time, Yunhe had already rushed to the old courtyard, and when he saw that the door was closed, he kicked it, and the door collapsed instantly.
The courtyard is dilapidated but chic, with a small pavilion in the middle, which is covered with snow, and the gray stone bricks are almost covered underneath, and the snow covers the branches of the flowers and trees on one side, and it is not difficult to imagine what it would be like to be here in spring.
Yunhe found his way into the courtyard again, and when he pushed the door hard, he saw three people in the house.
"Look at these three acupuncture points, if you apply silver needles and rub them gently, you can relieve headaches and fatigue." When did he hold the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" in his hand, he pointed to a certain place on the head of the general's wife while explaining it to Han.
Seeing Yunhe push the door in, Han and his wife were startled, and they all quickly got up and saluted.
"What are you doing here!" Yunhe was angry, and hurriedly walked over to pull his wife over, "Xiuxiu, how are you?" ”
"Yunhe, why are you here? Okay, okay, don't be angry first......" Li Xiuxiu pulled Layunhe's sleeve, "I told Qing Yao earlier that I would ask a divine doctor to come and show me my old headache in the next few days...... You don't want our child to be born with me. ”
"See a doctor, just why here?" Yun He listened to what his wife said, and glared at the other two again.
"We are talking about the way of women to cultivate their bodies and support yin, and besides, the miracle doctor is a man, so it is not good to be in a place with many people. If people see it, it will not be good to ruin the reputation of Xiuxiu and the miracle doctor. Han Qingyao spoke, her face a little cold.
Even so, it's okay to find a room in the pharmacy, so why do you have to be here? Yun He was puzzled in his heart, and glanced at it again, as if he suddenly understood something. When is this a test of the senior sister.
"General Yunhe is concerned about chaos, Madame is really blessed, to find such a caring person." When did he have a signature smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, "But I don't know how General Yunhe learned about this and found it here, I don't know if someone told me?" ”
Yun He pursed his lips and looked at the time.
He already doubted Senior Sister, today's matter, if Senior Sister fully believed in it and sent Fang Zi to the Han Clan, it would also prove that she did not favor and did not betray anyone. But now that Yunhe has appeared here, it means that the senior sister has told Yunhe about it and showed the letter to Yunhe.
Lin Guzhi, am I so untrustworthy in your heart, will I be despicable enough to use Yunhe's wife to deal with him! When was it, my heart was half cold, and I lowered my eyes and sighed softly.
"Do you remember what you just said? In the future, if the lady has a headache again, you can give her an injection and medicine according to the method I taught, and it will be a cycle every two months, and it will probably be fine after six months. When did he say it to Han Qingyao, he looked at Yunhe again.
"Today's incident is also to blame for my improper arrangement, I should inform General Yunhe in advance, and I will make a compensatory here." When it was time to say, he nodded at Han Qingyao and left.
Han Qingyao took Li Xiuxiu's hand and said, "Xiuxiu, I will catch the medicine for you according to the prescription of the divine doctor when I go back, if you still don't get better after taking it, you will come to me again." ”
Li Xiuxiu nodded, Han Qingyao smiled at her and walked out of the courtyard.
The senior sister came one step late, and there were only two left, Yunhe and Li Xiuxiu. Li Xiuxiu explained to her what happened again, and the senior sister's face was heavy and bitter. When you doubt her, it means that she is no longer trustworthy in her heart.
"I knew it was like this...... Senior Sister smiled bitterly and looked at Yunhe, "I'm afraid that I will go back to the villa in the future, and I won't be able to help you anymore." ”
"Today I was reckless, I only thought about Xiuxiu's safety, senior sister, I can't stand you." Yunhe said, "You have helped me a lot, and it is really my fault that you are being like this now." ”
"How can I blame you, it's all my own choice......" Senior Sister said and walked out of the courtyard slowly.
Later in the evening, the senior sister returned to the bamboo house. At this time, it was getting late, and it was already dark in the bamboo forest. In the cold winter, she shrunk her hands and feet, standing outside the fence of the courtyard, looking at the stone bench and stone table in the courtyard.
I remember that it was still autumn at that time, and that day Qiu Ju fell all over the ground, and she came back crying from Yunhe, and when did it come to raise her wine glass and invite her to drink. The autumn wind was blowing, his sleeves fluttering with the wind, and a few strands of long hair were scattered. At that time, there was sincerity and eagerness in his eyes.
The senior sister rubbed her hands and stomped her feet, it was too cold. In the end, she couldn't help but go up and knock on the door of the bamboo house, and seeing that there was no response inside, she carefully pushed the door open.
There was no light in the room, and the senior sister entered the house, and the whole person was shrouded in darkness and cold. I don't know if it's her delusion, as if the inside of the house is a little colder than the outside.
When did he sit on the edge of the brazier, staring blankly at the charcoal fire, not knowing what he was thinking. The senior sister pushed open the door, and the wind blew in with a trace of fine snow, and when she came back to her senses with a cold body, she looked at the senior sister who pushed the door in.
She walked over and crouched down, squeezed the time over a bit, and reached out to bake the charcoal fire, "When." I thought for a while, I did something wrong, but I still don't want to go......"
"Even if you scold me and beat me today, I won't say a word more. I know it's wrong, don't just drive me away, okay? The senior sister softened her voice and suppressed her trembling voice.
When I kept looking at her, there was fire in my eyes, like a rising sun. Seeing that he didn't say anything or speak, the senior sister grabbed his hand and asked him in a choked voice, "Do you still want me?" ”
When he looked at her, he lowered his eyes and pulled his hand back from her. The senior sister pursed her lips and took a deep breath Don't look over, tears instantly slipped down.
Sometimes, you break someone's heart and betray someone's trust. It's like breaking a branch, the scar will always be there, and the same branch will never grow again in that place.
She pressed her heart uncomfortably, and was about to get up and leave.
At this time, when he grabbed her, he closed his hand and hugged her tightly in his arms, "I really can't do anything about you, I thought about a lot of things to scold you, but when I saw your embarrassed appearance, I couldn't speak." ”
Senior Sister stretched out her hand and slapped his back, and said with a crying voice, "I just thought you really didn't want me anymore......"
"Your hands are so cold, have you been standing outside for a long time?" When did he let go of her, he took her hand and put it around his neck, held her face and looked at it, and smiled disgustedly, "Look at your appearance, did you go to steal chickens and dogs, and your hair is messed up into a chicken nest." ”
The senior sister looked at the time, and couldn't help laughing with tears in her eyes.
Maybe the scars can't grow new branches, but they will definitely sprout again, and when new shoots are issued, there is still hope for everything, and everything can start all over again.
