Chapter 57: Confession
Qiao Wan's drooping eyes darkened, she didn't know that her sister's affairs were the eternal mustard between her and Wu Wanggong, and Zhou Yu had an extraordinary relationship with the Sun family, she met at a young age, and worshiped her mother, how could she compare?
Lu Meng didn't know what was wrong with him today, so he simply said what was in his heart: "From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you, at that time you were still young, simple-minded, where do you understand the feelings of men and women, you treat me as a brother, and I am willing to take care of you as a brother, I always thought that when you grow up, you will understand what I mean to youโโ"
"Brother Ziming," Qiao Guan's clenched palms were already full of sweat, and he hurriedly interrupted him, "I'm your best friend's wife now, please don't say these extraneous words to make everyone embarrassed." She was frightened and flustered, and broke out in a cold sweat. Whether it was Lu Meng's feelings for her or his confession, she was caught off guard and embarrassed.
"If you're doing well, I'll never say these things." Lu Meng looked at her with a complicated expression.
Qiao Guan's eyes were still flashing with panic, but he solemnly said: "Since I am willing to come back with him, I am ready to face these storms, this is my choice." โ
With that, she ran out as if she were running away. She couldn't accept that Lu Meng, who she had always regarded as her own brother, would have this kind of affection for her, she was so disappointed and disappointed that she never wanted to see him again.
Zizhu was startled when she ran back with tears on her face.
"Madameโ" She opened her mouth wide in astonishment, as if she had seen something terrible.
Qiao Wan took off his cloak and sat down tiredly, "I'm tired, go prepare hot water to wash." โ
Zizhu gasped, asked the other two little maids in the room to go out to run errands, came to her and asked with difficulty, "General Lu, he-is he rude to you?" โ
Qiao Wan propped his elbows on the table, leaning on his head and closing his eyes to recuperate, and shook his head when he heard the words.
Zizhu frowned and said, "Madame really shouldn't be alone in the same room with General Lu today, and it has reached the ears of the lord, what should the lord think?" "Wu Jun has been gossiping about the two of them for a while before, why doesn't Mrs. know how to avoid suspicion at all?
Qiao Wan was stunned, she originally admitted that she was innocent with Lu Meng, but his confession just now made her feel inexplicably empty.
After thinking about it, it is difficult to block everyone's mouth, not to mention that there are some things that she wants to cover, she just needs to have a clear conscience.
"Squeakโ" The door was pushed open, interrupting her thoughts, and it was two little maids who came in with hot water.
After they finished serving Qiao Wan to change clothes and wash, Zizhu came over with a bowl of medicine.
"This is the medicine that the doctor prescribed to Mrs. just now, please take it."
After Qiao Wan drank it all, Fang thought of something, raised his eyes and asked, "Where is the doctor settled?" โ
"Jade Warm Pavilion."
"What about General Lu? Is he going to live in the house for a long time? โ
Zizhu frowned again, "Listening to the doctor's meaning, it seems that he is also staying here." โ
Qiao Guan's eyes rolled slightly, and he thought for a while: "Then arrange General Lu in Linfeng Pavilion, where it is the most elegant." "It's mostly remote, and she just wants to get as far away from him as possible.
Zizhu nodded approvingly.
Qiao Wan then instructed: "Arrange a few clever people to serve the doctor, and the utensils and food will be provided according to the best supply in the house, although the house is isolated, but the charcoal fire is enough to eat, so that everyone does not have to panic." โ
"No."
Tossed all night, although Qiao Wan was tired, but there were too many things in her heart, many emotions were troubled, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and still did not feel sleepy at all, and the sky was already bright, she simply put on her clothes and went to the room to guard.
The heavy snow, which had been falling for many days, finally stopped, and the warm sun came out of the clouds, spreading a layer of golden light on the earth, and the flowers fell, only the red plum blossoms shone in the sun, with a faint red fragrance.
"Wow"โโ
A basin of hot water poured on the broken snow, and the loose snow instantly turned into a pool of soft clear water, and then flowed into the cracks of the bluestone slabs.
Hua Tuo put the copper basin on the stone steps and stretched comfortably, the dazzling sunlight stinging her eyes almost couldn't open her eyes.
"What a sunny day!" He couldn't help but cheer.
But he turned to worry again, now it is the month of Layue, although this plague has been strangled by him in the cradle, and there is no large-scale epidemic, but at least he still has to stay in Wu County to watch for a month, then in this way, I am afraid that this year will be spent in Wu County.
Thinking of this, he was not happy, this year's New Year was originally planned to go to Shuzhong to soak in the warm pool, but halfway through, he heard that Wu County was exuding a strange disease, the symptoms were very similar to the plague he encountered a few years ago, it was also a winter, the plague broke out on a large scale, the weather was cold, the medicine was exhausted, and tens of thousands of people died.
The tragic image left a deep impression on his mind, and he was one of the few doctors who had experienced the plague firsthand, and he was good at healing, deeply understanding that as long as it was prevented and treated early, and the medicine was used correctly, this disease could not kill people. I am afraid that misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and a large-scale epidemic, will lead to heavy casualties if the supply of medicine is insufficient. So when he heard that there was a hatchling of this plague in Wu County, he rushed here with his apprentice day and night.
"It's not bad to spend the New Year in Wu Countyโ" He suddenly thought that Wu County's osmanthus brewing was the most unique, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar of joy, startling the birds on the plum branches to flutter their wings and fly away.
After a few days of treatment, Zhou Xun has woken up, and his face has improved, which is similar to the appearance of the two people in the illness before. Qiao Wan thanked Hua Tuo for his kindness and omitted it.
On this day, someone banged on the door of the house early in the morning, and the guard on duty was woken up while still asleep, and replied angrily: "Stop shooting!" No one is allowed to come in here! โ
"I'm here to deliver medicine, and my master is inside!" Outside the door was a deep man's voice.
"Who is your master?"
"Dr. Hua Tuo."
The guard's tone became polite, "Please sir, put the medicine at the door, I'll take it later, I can't get out if I come in here." โ
"I'm just here to heal with my master."
"This ......," the guard replied after a moment's deliberation, "Sir, wait a minute, I'm going to check with Dr. Hua first." โ
He didn't dare let people in.
Hua Tuo was bored looking at a book, this Zhoufu is really boring, Lu Meng's kid doesn't know what crazy he has been smoking these days, he drinks and gets drunk all day long, no one pays attention to him, and Zhou Ping is a person who can't chat, but it's uncomfortable for him to die, only a beauty is very eye-catching, and he can only watch from a distance and can't be blasphemed, all in all, he is about to collapse.
Suddenly hearing the apprentice coming, he suddenly got up, threw away the notebook, and jumped up happily, "Let him come in!" โ
This kid has been in charge of the epidemic in the temple on the outskirts of the city, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly.
