Chapter 21: The Woman Who Wears Clothes
Lu Qiao walked out of the door of the squatter with the brocade box and ran towards Yu Youwei's yard.
Because today is the first day of the new year, there are more pilgrims who come to Guanzhong to offer incense, and I don't know how many pilgrims I bumped into along the way. Some pilgrims were even knocked to the ground, and Lu Qiao didn't have time to help them, just apologized and hurried away.
When the pilgrim stood up, he could still see her shadow. I can only pat the dust on my body by myself, I think I am unlucky, and I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out. If you are in a hurry, you have to stand in place and scold, so that your heart can be comfortable.
When Lu Qiao ran back to Yu Youwei's yard, she was already drenched in sweat, and she couldn't care about wiping it. Ran to the door, holding on to the door, bent over and gasping for breath.
When the old doctor saw that she was back, he hurriedly got up and walked over. "Can you find it?"
With a sweet smile on his face, Lu Qiao raised his hand and raised the brocade box in his hand. "Found it! Found it! ”
The old doctor took the brocade box from her hand and opened the lid with his hand. When he saw the thousand-year-old ginseng in the box, his eyes lit up.
This ginseng pays attention to the "five forms" and "six bodies". The so-called "five shapes" refer to the reed (reed head), grain (texture), skin (epidermis), whisker (whisker), and body (shape) of ginseng; The "six bodies" refer to the spirit, stupidity, oldness, tenderness, horizontality, and smoothness of the taproot.
The middle branch part of this thousand-year-old ginseng in this brocade box is straight and smooth, tight inside, and clear in texture, and the rhizome part is thin and long, slightly cylindrical. Whether it is from these five forms or those six bodies, they are all superior colors. The person who owns this root of ginseng must be either rich or noble, not an ordinary person.
The old doctor stroked the white beard on his chin and shouted the word "good" three times.
Lu Qiao finally smoothed out his anger, "Can this root save my wife?" ”
"This is natural, and your wife is really blessed. With this thousand-year-old ginseng, not only can you save your wife's life this time, but also greatly improve her physique and alleviate her old physical diseases. ”
After listening to the old doctor's words, the stone in Luqiao's heart fell completely. She glanced at Yu Youwei, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes moistened, and she clapped her hands and said, "It's really good." ”
The old doctor wanted to ask who Lu Qiao was looking for and got this ginseng from him. But he looked at Yu Youwei on the bed, and knew that he couldn't delay any longer. After explaining a few words, he hurriedly took the ginseng to the kitchen.
Outside the window, the wind rustled the leaves, and Lu Qiao walked to the window, looking at the autumn breeze outside the window, and the forest was dyed and golden. Bow your head and pray a few words, and gently close the window.
Yu Youwei had a long dream, dreaming that she had become the woman in the last dream again. It's just that now she is sitting in front of the mirror in a wedding dress, and the sound of blowing and blowing sounds outside the window. It was obviously a festive and happy day, but the woman in the mirror had a sad face.
She raised her hand and gently ran her fingers across her face, her already fair skin made as white as snow by the bright red clothes. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, her eyes full of sadness that could not be dissolved, and she didn't know what she was pondering.
There was a loud knock on the door, accompanied by the voice of a young woman.
"Eldest princess, the sedan chair of the horses outside has arrived, come out quickly."
After hearing this, the expression on the face of the woman dressed in the wedding dress finally changed. The hand on his face slowly lowered, opened the drawer of the cabinet in front of him, and took out a phoenix hairpin from it.
This phoenix hairpin is golden all over, and the phoenix on it is lifelike. The phoenix sways around a budding peony, and in the center of the peony is a bright red jade.
The woman held the phoenix hairpin in one hand, and kept stroking the phoenix hairpin with the other hand.
"The person who came to pick up the kiss is Na Yunge?"
When the people outside heard her question, they were dumbfounded. There was silence for a long time before he spoke: "Exactly"
The woman suddenly raised her head and smiled, and the phoenix crown on her head kept swaying with her movements. Laughing and laughing, for some reason a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
"Okay, you tell them to wait outside!"
Yu Youwei suddenly felt bad in her heart and wanted to stop it, but found that she had no way to control this body at all. I could only watch her take the phoenix hairpin and slash it towards her wrist, and the blood was as bright as the color of the wedding dress on her body.
Yu Youwei couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and slowly closed her eyes. This woman is like herself, so helpless, so stupid, she can only rely on death to do everything.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her changed, and what appeared in front of her was a white gauze curtain. He was wearing a white undershirt, no longer the bright red wedding dress. Where are you? Yes, didn't she kill herself? Is this the Hades Palace?
Yu Youwei's eyes were still hazy when she looked around, and she didn't know. She tried to look around, and noticed that the furnishings around her were familiar.
Before she could react to anything, a figure appeared in front of her, accompanied by a voice.
"Madame, you're awake!"
As soon as the words fell, the figure walked away again. She heard the man shouting out the door: "Auntie, my lady is awake!" ”
This voice made Yu Youwei wake up instantly, this is not the Hades Palace, nor the happy house in the dream, but the salty courtyard. She closed her eyes slightly, a teardrop spilling out of the corner of her eye.
The eldest lady heard the sound of green warp in the kitchen, and hurriedly scooped a bowl of freshly cooked chicken soup from the pot and hurried to the house. She looked at Yu Youwei on the bed, with a look of relief on her face.
"It's awake, it's awake."
As he spoke, he walked to the bed with chicken soup.
"Girl, you should be hungry, you are weak now, drink a bowl of chicken soup to make up for it."
Lu Qiao also stood aside and wiped her tears and said, "Madam, you must be hungry when you just woke up, take two sips." ”
Yu Youwei opened her eyes again, and her vision finally became clear. She saw an old woman with a kind face sitting on the edge of her bed, with tears on her face still unwiped, standing beside her.
"Why do you bother to save me from a man who wants to die!"
The eldest lady looked at Yu Youwei's teary-eyed appearance and sighed. During the day, I learned something about the girl in front of me from Lu Qiao's mouth, and my heart was full of sympathy. This world is unfair, why let such a delicate woman bear so many things alone.
"Girl, you listen to the advice of the eldest mother. Why are you suffering from all this? The dead are gone, and you can't redeem them by committing suicide. You do what you make your parents think, and what your loved ones think. Even if you don't think about these people, how can your children in the sky be reincarnated with peace of mind when they see you like this! ”
When Yu Youwei heard the mention of the child, the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow out.
Midori stood aside and tried to step forward and say something, but he didn't know how to speak, and put his feet back in place.
The eldest lady glanced at Lu Qiao, naturally understood her thoughts, and gave her a reassuring look. Turning his head to look at Yu Youwei and continued: "Cry, cry, cry, after crying, you will regain this time." If you still want to die, we won't stop you. ”
