Chapter 177: Serving the Sick (3)
"It's still the eldest sister who has the means to obey that girl's clothes." It was Fang's voice.
Xun Qingran stopped because of this.
"What means are not means." Second Lady Qi pretended not to think so, but there was a little smugness in her voice, "Second sister, now that you have seen it with your own eyes, you should rest assured." I will do what I promised you. ”
"Of course I can trust my eldest sister. However, just like that, how long will it take to rub her to death. ”
"Didn't I tell you, this matter is urgent. She is now being favored, and she always has to find an opportunity, and it is good to be a person who does not know it. ”
"Lan'er and I all rely on the eldest sister."
Hearing footsteps coming towards the door, Xun Qingran hurriedly turned around, retreated from the hall, and went out of the back door, out of the moon gate, and out of the prayer hall from the corner door.
Xun Qingran stopped at this time, and was indeed slightly stunned. Who is she in the mouths of Second Lady Qi and Fang? Xun Qingran asked herself, pondering the conversation between the two people repeatedly, and she couldn't deceive herself. What she said in the mouths of those two people was her Xun Qingran.
Isn't she good enough? She came to serve Second Mrs. Qi sincerely. Even if she suspected that Second Mrs. Qi's illness was a little strange, she was afraid that three points pretended to be ten points, but she still treated Second Mrs. Qi as an elder who was sick. She really wants to please Second Mrs. Qi and hopes that the two of them can get along well. She was a human being in two lives, and she was taught to respect the old and love the young. Some people get older, and their temper will become weird, so it's enough to coax them like this. She never regarded Second Lady Qi as an enemy.
But why did Second Lady Qi want her to die? Why did the Fang clan want her to die? Even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, they don't need you to live or die. Second Mrs. Qi wants to put out her mother-in-law's money to pinch her, she can cooperate to a certain extent, so she should coax Second Mrs. Qi to play. She could even understand that the Fang clan didn't look down on her well.
But what if she wanted her life? What benefits will her death bring to the Fang clan and Second Lady Qi? When this matter is said, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
Xun Qingran was puzzled, and carefully recalled the words he had just heard. A thought came to mind, but it was also too unrealistic and ridiculous. Xun Qingran shook his head and threw that thought out of his mind.
Xun Qingran calmed down his breathing. Second Mrs. Qi still understands a little, and knows that she can't be moved for the time being. Xun Qingran recalled that Second Lady Qi was full of anger when she spoke, where she was as weak as she was when she was present.
expects that people's hearts are flesh and blood, and filial piety to please Second Mrs. Qi will not work. She wasn't really able to stand the abuse. Let's take a different approach.
At this time, Malt came over with the little girl.
"Grandma, this girl's name is carp, and she is a third-class girl who does chores in the Prayer Hall. The maid asked her for a long time, but she only said that she was hanging out there and didn't see her grandmother, so she was rude. ”
Xun Qingran lowered her head and looked at the little girl named carp who was kneeling on the ground. This girl obviously saw her, so she was in a hurry to run into the house, and then there were some girls from Shen Liang's family who were only at the door of the back room, and there should have been someone in the hall to serve her, but there was no one, only Caidie was at the door, like that, it seemed to be looking at the door and ventilating the news. Thinking about the conversation between Fang and Second Lady Qi again, she had a rough guess in her heart.
The carp was here to watch the wind, but because he was napping, he didn't see her coming in time, and she caught her again, so he couldn't go back to report the news. She was able to go in unimpeded, and as for why Shen Liang's family and Caidie did that, she put it aside for the time being.
Xun Qingran took out a small piece of broken silver from her purse and gave it to the girl.
"This time, I just don't see you, you can do whatever you have to do, as for how to speak, I see that you are not stupid, you should know the severity."
Xun Qingran let the malt put the carp.
The carp hurriedly kowtowed, stood up, and ran into the yard. Of course, the carp is not stupid, she didn't report in time and let Xun Qingran walk in, if she said it, she would have to be punished. Now that Xun Qing let her go, and rewarded her with a piece of silver, of course she closed her mouth tightly.
Xun Qingran said a few more words to the treasure bead, and waited for a while before slowly walking around to the main gate of the prayer hall with the malt. There was no one at the door of the upper room, only Mama Zhang brought a few girls to stand under the porch.
Seeing that Xun Qing was coming, Mama Zhang greeted her with a smile, and deliberately raised her voice, "The fourth grandmother is here, and the slave will greet the fourth grandmother." ”
Xun Qingran stepped into the upper room. In the hall, Caidie stood at the door of the bedroom of the second lady of Qi, saw Xun Qingran, and also curtsto, and invited Xun Qingran into the bedroom.
Second Mrs. Qi was reclining on the bed, looking sick again.
“…… The eldest sister should take care of herself. Fang wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and held Second Lady Qi's hand to comfort.
"When I'm older, my body is useless. The affairs of this family are thanks to my daughter-in-law. I also have to thank you, second sister, for raising such a good girl to be my daughter-in-law. Second Lady Qi said weakly.
Xun Qingran hurriedly stepped forward to greet the two.
"Qing Ran, I was afraid that I would be too spoiled at home, and I would have to worry about you as a daughter-in-law. Just now, your mother-in-law couldn't stop praising you, and I was relieved. It's not in vain that I raised you and gave your aunt as a daughter-in-law. You have to serve your mother-in-law well, and you are a filial child if you don't have the slightest disobedience. Fang also put on a kind smile.
If it weren't for the words of the two sisters overheard, Xun Qingran would have felt warm at this time. Okay, that's a lie, Fang's praise is the same as Second Lady Qi's praise, in Xun Qing's ears, it is an alarm bell.
Xun Qingran nodded softly, only saying that everything was her duty as a daughter-in-law.
"My wife's complexion is much better, and I think she will be cured by taking another dose of medicine." Xun Qingran carefully looked at the face of Second Lady Qi and said happily.
Fang's face changed.
Second Lady Qi pressed her chest and coughed a few times.
"You took care of me very dedicatedly, but this body is getting heavier and heavier." Second Lady Qi said.
"Your mother-in-law is afraid that you will be worried, and she endures it in front of you. Fang just coughed for a long time, which made people very worried. Fang said.
Xun Qingran panicked, "How is this good, it turns out that my wife is more seriously ill, why don't you tell me." Come on, go and get a doctor. ”
Xun Qingran ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor.
Second Mrs. Qi turned around to comfort Xun Qingran, so that she didn't have to worry, "I can still get through it, so I don't have to be so troublesome." ”
Fang had been sitting for a long time, saying everything that should be said, and what she saw also satisfied her, so she got up and said goodbye and left with Xun Shulan.
Sending Fang away, someone outside came to report that the imperial doctor was here.
Second Mrs. Qi waved her hand, saying that it was no trouble. It's just that Xun Qingran is very insistent, and the second lady of Qi is too full of words, so she can't refuse.
Baozhu led the Imperial Doctor Lu in, and checked the pulse of Second Lady Qi again.
This time, Xun Qingran only avoided behind the screen. Doctor Lu didn't say anything after diagnosing the pulse, so he was taken out by Baozhu to write a prescription.
After a while, Fang Zi wrote it out, and Xun Qingran wanted to see it in person. However, they are all peaceful, harmless and tonic medicines, and Xun Qingran's heart is more complete to the "condition" of the second lady.
Xun Qingran handed over the recipe to Baozhu and asked her to hand it over to Imperial Doctor Lu.
"Our fourth grandmother said that this recipe is no different from yesterday's recipe, but my wife's illness is serious. Please also reformulate the formula. Baozhu said to Imperial Doctor Lu.
Doctor Lu thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he came up with another prescription. Xun Qingran still looked at it, and saw that there were still some peaceful and harmless medicines in the prescription, but a few flavors were added or decreased, and among the increased flavors was Coptis chinensis, and the amount was just right.
"Grandma, according to your instructions, the nose is empty and what Imperial Physician Lu said, good medicine is bitter and good for disease, so Imperial Physician Lu prescribed this prescription."
Xun Qingran took the recipe and thought about it, this matter went more smoothly than she thought. Therefore, I can't help but think of the replacement of the imperial doctor in the house. It turned out that the surname was Hu, but because of something in his hometown, he returned to his hometown, so he changed to this Imperial Doctor Lu, and he was also very familiar with the house. Xun Qingran had to go to Yang's Mansion because of Doctor Hu's obstruction, so Doctor Hu left, she was only happy, and then every time Doctor Lu came, he was extremely respectful and accurate, and Xun Qingran had a good impression of Doctor Lu.
Imperial Physician Lu was very interested in Xun Qing's prescription, so he asked Imperial Physician Lu to be sent away, and he quickly dispensed the medicine and came back. Xun Qingran personally boiled the medicine under the corridor, filled a big bowl, and brought it to the second lady of Qi.
Second Mrs. Qi took a sip, her face suddenly darkened, and she pushed away the medicine bowl.
"Changed the way?" Second Mrs. Qi asked.
Xun Qingran nodded, "Mrs. took those doses of medicine, and her illness did not improve, but became serious." How can I eat it again, the doctor diagnosed my wife's pulse, and said to change the prescription. ”
Second Mrs. Qi said, "Still use the original recipe, you go and boil the medicine." ”
Xun Qingran smiled, "Madam, this person is sick, what medicine to use, I have always listened to Langzhong." Mrs. Mo doesn't think this medicine is not delicious, I have prepared a lot of candied fruit here. ”
Xun Qingran told jokes and coaxed Second Mrs. Qi again, just like coaxing a child who is willful and doesn't like to take medicine.
After all, Second Mrs. Qi is from everyone, and in front of her daughter-in-law, she can't say that she is afraid of bitterness and doesn't drink medicine, so she thinks about dragging it out, waiting for Xun Qingran to walk away, and pouring out the medicine in the bowl.
But Xun Qingran didn't give her this opportunity, and kept staying by the side, but she didn't force Second Mrs. Qi to drink medicine.
When the medicine was cold, Second Mrs. Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "This medicine is cold, pour it out, it's okay to take one less dose." ”
Xun Qingran obediently went out to pour out the medicine, but lit the charcoal stove again and boiled a full bowl.
The maid in the prayer hall, as well as the maid in the other courtyards, saw in their eyes that the second lady Qi was seriously ill, but she refused to take medicine, and repeatedly tossed Xun Qing to dye. Xun Qingran worked hard, without a trace of complaint, not even dissatisfied, and went to boil another bowl when it was cold. The stove where the medicine was boiling was burning all the time.
After doing this several times, Second Mrs. Qi couldn't, so she had to pinch her nose and drink the medicine. Because the medicine was too bitter, Second Mrs. Qi couldn't help but lose her temper with Xun Qing, Xun Qingran respectfully reprimanded Second Mrs. Qi without any resentment, and asked people to buy a variety of candied fruits and serve Second Mrs. Qi to eat.
In the evening, Xun Qingran was still on duty in the second lady of Qi's house. This night is very similar to last night, but it is different in many ways.
