Chapter 120: Re-entering the Hou Mansion
A few days later, it was the day to go back to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion to see the old lady.
After An Sheng and Leng Nanxian had lunch, they went to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion together, and as last time, they took a soft sedan chair and went straight to the old lady's courtyard.
In the courtyard, the servants were all dressed in green clothes, and they stood under the corridor with their hands down, not as busy as last time, but they were as quiet. And the atmosphere is unusually dignified and depressed.
Leng Nanxian walked in without squinting, but An Sheng couldn't help but look around because he was curious.
Under the corridor, the maidservants standing all lowered their eyebrows, crossed their hands on their waists, their heads and necks were straight and their shoulders were flat, slim and elegant, like clay sculptures.
An Sheng thought, probably the brocade-clothed guards under Yu Jingyun were as well-trained as this. The Hou Mansion should be strict with all its subordinates as soldiers, and the Imperial Palace is nothing more than that.
After this glance, I saw two people kneeling straight in the corner of the courtyard, one of whom was about sixteen or seventeen years old, almost the same as himself. Thin, unmarried, pale as paper, wearing a fat full-breasted skirt, kneeling on the ground, looking as if he was crumbling and weak.
The other person is a woman of about forty years old, with pearl hair and a full body, who should be the master of the courtyard in the house. The woman's forehead was bruised, and blood was faintly oozing, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she was still holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and she was whimpering and crying.
As if sensing An Sheng's gaze, the girl with a blank face turned her face, glanced at An Sheng, and looked at her boldly.
An Sheng guessed that he should have made some mistake and was punished by the old lady to kneel here. Looking at the description of the two, they all have crooked sideburns, and they have been kneeling for a long time.
Leng Nanxian glanced at An Sheng sideways, coughed lightly, and reminded her not to look left and right.
An Sheng took two steps and caught up with Leng Nanxian, and heard the old lady in the room reprimand with hidden anger: "Let that mother and daughter get away and kneel, don't be embarrassed here." Shameless for them, we still want it. β
Then Mrs. Hou Ye persuaded her with kind words: "You are old and discouraged, at most you can send them to Zhuangzi, is it possible that they can make you angry?" β
Leng Nanxian and An Sheng paused, I don't know if it is appropriate to go in at this time.
The mother-in-law had already entered the room, and the people inside probably heard the footsteps of the two, and Mrs. Hou Ye actually greeted her in person: "Doctor Leng, Miss Ansheng has arrived?" β
Leng Nanxian bowed slightly: "Is the old lady okay?" β
"Okay, okay!" The old lady in the middle responded one after another: "Come in quickly, I'm looking forward to the two of you." β
The two of them walked into the room one after the other and put down the medicine box. Immediately, a maid stepped forward, placed the brocade pier, and helped the old lady roll up her sleeves.
"After the last diagnosis and treatment, the symptoms have been much lighter in the past few days, and now I am looking forward to completely eradicating the roots, thank God." The old lady looked at Leng Nanxian and An Sheng, smiling with warm eyebrows and eyes, and was extremely kind.
Leng Nanxian stepped forward, asked for a pulse, and then told An Sheng what he needed to pay attention to, so he consciously withdrew, and a maid served tea and melons and fruits to entertain him.
There was a girl wearing an apricot pollen skirt standing next to the old lady, who didn't look like an ordinary maidservant, but her bearing didn't look like the daughter of the house, and she always looked at An Sheng unscrupulously, with a sense of pickiness, which made her a little uncomfortable, and she always felt that her gaze was a little strange.
An Sheng glared back, but he didn't understand what the identity of the other party was, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just pretended not to see it.
She had the last experience, this time she was familiar with the road, and the old lady did not have the slightest shelf, so she would not be as nervous as last time, methodical, meticulous and thoughtful.
Halfway through, I heard the girls outside whispering goodbye, and Mrs. Hou replied: "It's Jingyun who has come to visit your old man." β
The old lady chuckled: "This monkey has been diligent these days." β
An Sheng was engrossed, took the silver needle, and the maid stepped forward, wiped it clean, and dressed the old lady.
"What do you think?" Mrs. Hou stepped forward and asked with concern.
The old lady raised his arm: "This time it doesn't seem to have been as effective as last time." β
The mother-in-law stepped forward and handed An Sheng a warm handkerchief.
An Sheng took it in his hand, wiped it, and smiled: "The bruise pulled out is also much lighter than last time, indicating that there is only some residual poison left, and you can't be in a hurry, you have to remove it slowly, and you can't do it overnight." β
The old lady bowed slightly: "I naturally trust the medical skills of the cold divine doctor." The stubborn illness of all these years is thanks to you girl. β
An Sheng bowed his head humbly: "It's all up to the master's teaching, An Sheng just does what he says." β
The old lady glanced at the girl wearing an apricot pollen skirt beside her, and asked An Sheng: "Last time you said that you only studied medicine for two months?" β
An Sheng nodded obediently: "Back to the old lady, yes." β
"If it is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice, Nanxian, this kid is also sharp-eyed in picking apprentices. Although Wanwan has been immersed in medicine since childhood, he is helpless against my stubborn disease. β
The pink-clothed woman on the side lowered her head, couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, and said in a low voice: "It's Lin Wanwan who is stupid." β
Only then did An Sheng know that this woman was actually a medical student like himself. It seems that the old lady has a lot of rules, and specially selected a medical girl to serve by her side. No wonder she looked at herself with a bad gaze, it turned out to be a peer enemy.
An Sheng smiled: "The old lady praised it falsely." There is a specialization in the art industry, An Sheng has been practicing acupuncture with the master these days, but he doesn't know anything else, how can he compare with the girl who bends the bend? β
These words have already given Lin Wanwan great affection, but anyone who knows what is good should be grateful for An Sheng's kindness.
Lin Wanwan raised his face, and the corners of his lips were proud: "It is true that our medical officer has never dabbled in these tricks. β
Listening to her self-proclaimed, it turned out to be the son of a medical officer, but she looked down on An Sheng's acupuncture and moxibustion skills at all.
An Sheng didn't care, just smiled indifferently. Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, as soon as Lin Wanwan opened his mouth, An Sheng knew that she was not a fellow citizen of the same path as himself, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
Mrs. Hou also smiled: "The ruler is shorter and the inch is longer." Wanwan is an outstanding leader among the children of medical officers, and since he was a child, he has been taught by the deputy hospital of Tai Hospital, and the medical skills he has learned are the most orthodox, especially good at body conditioning. After a long time, you will feel that you are worthy. β
The old lady smiled "hehe": "It's rare that you and Ji'er are so hearty, knowing that my wife is poor and exquisite, and specially selected this girl to serve me." I am happy with my mother-in-law, I just think that if she can also learn this acupuncture technique, she will be perfect, and she will no longer need to trouble the cold doctor. β
"This medical skill is a secret that cannot be passed on, and the apprentice has been taught to starve the master, how can the girl of Ansheng be willing to teach it easily?" Mrs. Hou quipped as if unintentionally.
"That's right, I'm just saying it casually."
An Sheng didn't want to answer, but Mrs. Hou clearly had something to say, and it was really not too ear-catching. Then he smiled: "Master has taught An Sheng, we practice medicine is nothing more than to help the world and save people, if we can carry forward the medical skills, it is a matter of blessing, and An Sheng can't ask for it." However, the girl is a child of a medical officer, so how can she be willing to ask An Sheng shamelessly? Ansheng is naturally self-aware. β
Mrs. Hou glanced at Lin Wanwan on the side, Lin Wanwan wanted to speak and stopped, where can she really put down her posture?
An Sheng didn't wait for her to speak, and first offered to leave: "An Sheng won't disturb the old lady's rest, so he will retire." β
Lin Wanwan was relieved and swallowed the words that he didn't have time to say back into his stomach.
"I will not keep you today." The old lady called Yu Jingyun outside: "Jingyun, thank you for my good life Doctor Leng and Miss An Sheng." β
An Sheng bowed down to say goodbye to the old lady with great discernment, and went out of the inner room.
Yu Jingyun and Leng Nanxian had already stood up, and when they saw An Sheng, Yu Jingyun hooked his lips slightly: "I haven't seen her for a few days, it seems that the little girl has become a lot rounder." β
An Sheng glared at him angrily: "Last time I said that I was like a duck, and this time I said that I was fat, who did Yu Shizi talk to, are they all so unpleasant?" β
Leng Nanxian said indifferently: "Yu Shizi is just as rhetorical as a beautiful girl, but it's a pity that you are not beautiful, and second, you are just a little girl." β
An Sheng was teased one after another, and he was not angry, so he picked up the medicine box and carried it on his back: "If you say anything, believe me and humiliate myself, just shut up." β
Yu Jingyun turned to Leng Nanxian: "When did Doctor Leng see me talking to the girl's family?" β
Leng Nanxian said indifferently and casually: "Guess." β
After that, he turned around and took the medicine box that An Sheng was carrying, and walked out of the door first: "Let's go." β
An Shengxiang followed behind, and as soon as he stepped down the steps, he heard a commotion in the courtyard.
"The seventh girl fainted, hurry up and report it to the old lady."
An Sheng turned his head to see that it was the young girl kneeling in the courtyard with her eyes closed and fainted on the ground. The woman kneeling next to her turned around and hugged her in her arms, and called out in a long and short voice: "Susu, Lingsu, wake up, what's wrong?" β
An Sheng suddenly paused, looked at Leng Nanxian, and was full of pleas: "Master! β
Yu Jingyun tugged at her sleeve: "There is a doctor in the house." This means that he doesn't want An Sheng to meddle in the affairs of the Hou Mansion.
A maid had already gone in to report to the old lady, and the old lady said coldly: "It's good to wake up with a basin of water, what's the fuss." β
This voice was cold, without the slightest emotion, which was completely different from the loving old man who was warm to An Sheng's eyebrows and smiled at him.
When the woman kneeling outside heard the old lady's words, she turned her head and cried and begged: "Old lady, Su Su is really wronged. She definitely didn't do anything like that. Her body was already weak, and she was hot for many days, and now she has been kneeling for almost a day, where can she bear it? A basin of cold water goes down, I'm afraid I'm going to kill Su Su! β
"Shut up!" Mrs. Hou Ye stood at the door, glanced at An Sheng and Leng Nanxian, who had not yet left, and trembled with anger: "Do you still think that you are not ashamed enough?" Dare to talk nonsense in front of outsiders! β
The woman turned her face to look at Leng Nanxian and An Sheng, and said categorically: "If this continues, Su Su's life will be gone, what else do I have to worry about?" Su Su'an keeps to herself, every day is under my nose, and I know my own daughter! She has always kept to herself, and it is absolutely impossible for her to have a body! β
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hou Ye was so angry that she trembled: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you don't have a face, my Hou Mansion still needs to be faced!" Is this forcing the old lady to order Yu Lingsu to be immersed in the pig cage? β
