Chapter 52: Illness
"What did you say?!" Sun Quan stood up with a "rub" and looked at Zhou Ji with a shocked face, unbelievable.
"Did you send someone to find it?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked.
Zhou Ji shook his head, "Not yet, Madame let me inform Gongzi first." He looked at Sun Quan on the side, gave Zhou Yu a look, and stopped talking.
Zhou Yu understood, got up and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, forgive me, I have to personally arrange for people to find people, and I will leave first." β
"Wait!" Sun Quan stopped him, "What the hell is going on?" Why did she run away from home? β
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. β
Sun Quan looked stunned and said, "Gong Jin, if you need help, just askβplease be sure to get her back." β
Zhou Yu retreated in response, Sun Quan couldn't sit still, it was the harsh winter season, the snow outside closed the mountains, how could she be a girl who could endure the cold; How dangerous should she be alone......
Outside the corridor, Zhou Ji said to Zhou Yu: "The eldest lord invited the son over and said that there was something important to discuss." β
Zhou Yu saw that he was embarrassed when he wanted to speak, and he probably understood a little in his heart, and asked, "Is it about Miss Bu?" β
Zhou Ji glanced at him and nodded, "I accidentally heard a few words of conversation between the eldest master and Mrs. Bu outside the door, Mrs. Bu said that Miss Bu ran away from home because of you, and the meaning of the eldest master is that he wants you to take Miss Bu as a concubine, and Miss Bu will naturally come back." β
Zhou Yujian twisted his eyebrows, and with a "click" he broke off a branch of red plum, peeling off the bark on the branches layer by layer, and his face was terrifyingly dark.
Zhou Ji said timidly: "Actually, the son doesn't have to obey them, they are just your uncle and aunt, and they can't interfere in your marriage." β
Zhou Yu tore off the plum petals one by one, put them in the palm of his hand, and said loudly: "Immediately send an elite, led by me personally, and I will find her back by wading through mountains and rivers." β
"And now the big man's side?"
"When I find Miss Bu back, I'll go and explain it to him." Zhou Yu turned to leave, brushed off the petals on his hand, and let them fall into the dust of the slush intersecting.
Wu County, Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Xun has not been well in the past few days, infected with wind chill and fever repeatedly, Qiao Wan has been taking care of himself day and night, and he has also fallen ill.
Zizhu brought the freshly boiled medicine, and saw Qiao Guan lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was pale, and there was no blood, and he was worried, and he didn't know how distressed the Lord should be when he came back to see her sick appearance.
She put the medicine bowl aside, and quietly pulled up the green gauze tent, so that the sickness on the bed dissipated a little.
Qiao Wan asked about the smell of medicine, her eyes opened slightly, and she raised her hand to signal Zizhu to pull her up to take medicine.
"Childe is feeling better today?" Qiao Wan was half-lying on the bed and asked Zizhudao.
Zizhu nodded, "Childe hasn't had any more fever in the past few days, and the doctor said that he is about to get better, but you, Madameβ" she said worriedly, "You seem to be getting worse." β
Qiao Wan drank the bitter medicine in one gulp, and the bitter and fishy medicinal gas made her shiver unconsciously, and her stomach turned over for a while, and she immediately vomited it all in the bowl.
Zizhu hurriedly wiped the stains on her mouth, and said anxiously: "What kind of medicine did this doctor prescribe, it smells so heavy, where can I swallow it!" Madam, why don't we find another doctor! β
She watched as her lady's illness became more and more serious, and this doctor was probably a quack.
Qiao Wan shook his head and said: "Xun'er is also being treated by Dr. Zhang, and he is almost well, which means that the people are right, you go to boil a bowl of medicine again, I will eat some pastries before taking it, so as not to smell so strong." β
Zizhu insisted: "Madam, your face is really not very good, maybe you and Childe's illness is not the right cause at all, how can you treat it according to Childe's method, or Zizhu will find another doctor to diagnose and treat it together, just in case." β
Qiao Wan thought for a moment, she was right, she was sick and confused. She nodded with satisfaction, "You're right, then it's hard for you to run again." β
"Slave and maid, go now!" Zizhu moved quickly, and ran out in stride.
Qiao Wan took out the latest letter sent back by Zhou Yu from under his pillow, the letter said that the lord had captured Lujiang City, and they would be victorious in a few days.
She put the letter to her chest, and a happy smile tugged at the corner of her pale lips......
It didn't take long for Zizhu to return with an old man with gray temples.
"Doctor, please look at my wife-"
When the old man saw Qiao Guan's complexion, he immediately frowned.
He took the pulse for a while, tried the forehead temperature again, shook his head and said: "Although this disease is in time, it is indeed a cold disease, but Mrs. is already weak and cold, and she should use ginseng, ginger jujube and other tonic medicines to slowly recuperate, it is really not suitable to use the tiger and wolf medicine of the previous doctor, although it works quickly, but it also hurts the body greatly, and Mrs. is extremely weak, I am afraid that she was boiled down by this medicine!" β
Qiao Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "The little boy in the mansion is only eight years old, how can he withstand that medicine?" β
"Everyone's physique has been determined from birth, no matter how young he is, if his physique is masculine, it can only be effective if it is in harmony with the medicinal properties, otherwise it will be counterproductive like his wife."
Qiao Wan suddenly realized that everything in the world has yin and yang attributes, which complement each other, and will also punish each other.
She nodded and said: "I see, the doctor is really proficient in medical science, fortunately, you stopped the loss in time, otherwise I don't know when I will misuse it, I will ask you to prescribe a new prescription for me." β
The doctor nodded in relief.
This year's winter was particularly cold, with heavy snow falling for many days, flooding the city of Kure, making it difficult to walk. In front of the eaves, there are short sword-like icicles, which do not melt, everyone huddles at home to bake the fire, and the street is a cold and lonely situation, only a few pedestrians, all of whom are in a hurry and cold and shrink their necks and hands.
Two figures, an old man and a young man, carried several large and small burdens and stepped on thick snow into Wu County City.
The eldest was an old man in black who was about fifty years old, with a tough body and full of energy, but he looked more energetic than the thin and thin young man in gray on the side.
They went to the wine shop on the side of the street and bought two bowls of wine to warm up, and their bodies were filled with the smell of wind and snow.
The man in black looked at the dead silence of Wu County, and said quietly: "This winter, there will be a plague in Wu County. β
"Master, this is the seventy-third time you have said this." The man in gray reminded him.
The man in black kicked over, "Little rabbit, why don't you remember what you usually learn so clearly!" β
The man in gray fell down on the snow without sitting firmly, and the hot soup in the bowl splashed on the ground, instantly stirring up a burst of white mist.
"Eh, I said you touched porcelain?" The man in black grabbed his hand and pulled him up, but his face gradually froze when he sensed his pulse.
"Your cold poison has a tendency to worsen." The man in black looked guiltily at the handsome silhouette looming under his veil, "I really shouldn't let you follow me on a snowy day." βγ
The man in gray said "hi", got up and swept the snow on his body, "I know my body, I really can't stand it, I will never be reluctant, besides, if the apprentice dies of illness with you, then your reputation will be ruined!" β
"Stinky boy, you know that you are poor, this cold poison can't kill you, but it can make your life worse than death!" The man in black hurriedly drank the hot soup in the bowl, put a few copper plates on the table, pulled him up and left, "Hurry up, find an inn to stay in and I'll give you a needle, otherwise you will be better at a while." β
The man in gray stopped, looked back and glanced deeply at the word Wu Jun on the city gate.
He finally arrived.
