151 feigning illness

Lin Lili got up immediately, he was not very old, less than thirty, he was also upright and handsome, and his gestures were full of youthful demeanor, and he did not have a little calmness in doing business.

However, the Lin family has no elders here, he has been married to Mrs. Lin for several years, and he also gave birth to a daughter, and everyone is called "master".

When I was in my twenties, I was called such an old name, hiss...... Sure enough, people in ancient times were called old.

Xiao Ling'er lowered her body and saluted, very straight to the point, "Shopkeeper Lin, how is the situation of Madame?" ”

"It's not good." Lin Shu shook his head, glanced at them, recognized them as the two shopkeepers of the Medicine Canteen Hall, and respectfully bowed his hand, "I have invited many doctors, and I have also taken a lot of medicine when I am sick, but it has not improved at all, my wife's body is getting weaker and weaker, and now she even eats less and less, I really don't know what to do." ”

Lin Shu said that, a woman not far away also came over with tea, put things on the table, and bowed to Xiao Ling'er and the others, "Don't worry, son, my sister's illness will definitely get better, there are so many doctors in Tang County, there are always those with superb medical skills who can cure my sister." ”

The woman stood aside, Xiao Ling'er hadn't seen her, and she was called Lin Shu "Childe", not like a member of the Lin family, but she looked beautiful and beautiful.

Xiao Ling'er retracted her gaze and didn't procrastinate, "Shopkeeper Lin, if it's convenient, can you let us see Madame." ”

"Convenient." Although Lin Shu didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the Medicine Canteen Hall would also come to see a doctor, but now for him, as long as he can use the method, he will naturally use it, and immediately let his subordinates take them to the room.

Mrs. Lin guarded a few people outside the door, there was no one in the house, probably just left a few doctors, the next person cleaned out, the room was still clean, there were some potted vases, and the decoration was very elegant. There was food on the table, and it didn't move a few bites, it was indeed as said outside, Mrs. Lin couldn't eat anything.

The servant brought her to the bed, and Mrs. Lin lay on the bed, covered with a thin layer of quilt, her face was pale and bloodless, and the skin and bones on her face were visibly emaciated. Not to mention, just not being able to eat is enough to consume her body.

"Madam, here are three more doctors."

The maid called the doctor softly in front of the bed, and Mrs. Lin didn't fall asleep, just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, opened her eyes when she heard the sound, let the maid sit up, and sat down firmly against the edge of the bed, before she looked at the three people in front of her, slightly stunned.

There are countless doctors coming to the house these days, but it is rare that there are three people who are so young and two women who come today.

Mrs. Lin lowered her chin slightly, "I've seen three." ”

"Mrs. Lin is polite." Xiao Ling'er also saluted and replied.

This Mrs. Lin is the first time she has seen it today, but it is also a little unexpected, although she is the daughter of the county official Lord He, but she looks humble and polite, without the temper of many official ladies, but is very slow and gentle.

It is said that the county official, Lord He Lihe, is a clear and upright person, and he can still see it in words and deeds.

"I wonder if Mrs. Lin is convenient now?"

"It's convenient." Mrs. Lin nodded, "It's just my body, I'm afraid that seeing it will only make the three of them more worried." As she spoke, she held out her hand and rested it on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Ling'er glanced at Brother Xie Yuan on the side, he stepped forward, the maid added a chair next to the bed, he sat down, and put his hand on Mrs. Lin's pulse to treat her.

Among the three of them, she also knows a little about medicinal herbs, and Sister Shishi's medical skills are not as good as Brother Xie Yuan, so naturally he will look at it.

Xiao Ling'er and Mu Shishi stepped aside, Xiao Ling'er secretly slapped Mu Shishi's arm, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Sister Shishi, what kind of disease do you say this Mrs. Lin will have, I look at her appearance, her eyes are bright, her speech is clear and organized, except that she looks pale and weaker than others, but I can't see any other problems." ”

Mu Shishi nodded, "I feel the same as you, but I want to hear and ask, hope is only the first step, many diseases are not visible at first sight, otherwise why so many doctors shook their heads and left, let's wait for the junior brother to read it." ”

"Okay." Xiao Ling'er didn't ask any more questions, just sat aside and watched Xie Yuan carefully diagnose and treat him.

Xie Yuan has always been very careful, and he has to ask carefully and clearly about everything, he finished his pulse, checked Mrs. Lin's eyes and tongue, asked about the recent food, what kind of herbs he had used, and pressed several acupoints for her, asking her about the pain on her body, and after such a while, he asked carefully for a long time.

Mu Shishi was the most idle, Brother Xie Yuan was watching the illness there, she was pacing around the room and looking at the decorations in the room, and she also walked to the side and smelled the orchids inside.

Mrs. Lin seems to like orchids very much, she planted some in the yard, and cut branches in the room and put them in a vase as decoration, which is very similar to her elegant temperament.

After a while, Xie Yuan finally stood up, Xiao Ling'er and Mu Shishi stepped forward, "How is it?" ”

Xie Yuan's expression was not good-looking, and he shook his head, "It's better to go back and talk about it." ”

"It's fine." Although Xiao Ling'er didn't know why Xie Yuan said this, she still nodded.

Xie Yuan arched his hand towards Mrs. Lin at this time, "Madam, I still need to go back and think carefully about my condition, Madame will pay attention to rest according to what I just said in the past few days, and take medicine on time." ”

"There is Dr. Raussie, and it is inconvenient to send him away if he is unwell, please forgive me."

"Madame is too polite, then Madame rests, we won't bother." Xiao Ling'er also accompanied her, and went out of the room with Sister Shishi and Brother Xie Yuan.

Lin Shu has been waiting outside, Brother Xie Yuan didn't say much to Shopkeeper Lin, but instructed twice, still the same as Mrs. Lin's words, only saying that he would go back to think about it, and if there was a countermeasure, he would come to the mansion again.

Lin Shu didn't say anything, so many doctors returned in vain, and he didn't expect anything from them, this statement was already expected, but he still thanked them a few times and let his subordinates send them out of the Lin Mansion.

When the three of them returned to the medicine canteen, Xiao Ling'er pulled Sister Shishi and Brother Xie Yuan to sit at a remote table and spoke, "Brother Xie Yuan, now that we are all home, you can tell me, what happened to Mrs. Lin's illness?" ”

She could see that Brother Xie Yuan must have hidden something in the Lin family, otherwise he wouldn't have a hidden look.

Xie Yuan hesitated a little, as if he couldn't grasp the conjecture in his heart, took a sip of tea and drank it, and then sighed, "I can find out, Mrs. Lin is actually fine, it is because she doesn't eat anything every day, so she will be pale and weak due to blood deficiency and shortness of breath, and it is easy to recover, the prescription I left is to take it carefully, and then eat on time every day." ”

"Not sick?" Xiao Ling'er was a little surprised, "No, you're really not mistaken?" The Lin family has gone to so many doctors, if they are not sick, how can they not see it? ”

"That's right." Xie Yuan nodded and shook his head, "But to be precise, Mrs. Lin should be pretending to be sick, when I helped her diagnose her pulse, I didn't find anything, and I was a little hesitant in my heart, so I asked her what she had eaten recently, all of which were all unusual, and she deliberately probed a few acupoints on her body, and she replied to my paradox, it should be the same as when Miss Zhu came to the medicine canteen to make trouble before, she answered randomly, but she didn't want us to see that she was not actually sick." ”

"How so?" When Xiao Ling'er was in the Lin Mansion just now, looking at the embarrassed look on Brother Xie Yuan's face, she thought that Mrs. Lin's illness was very tricky, but she didn't expect that she was pretending to be sick. "Then why are there so many doctors, none of them can see it."

"I guess someone else has seen it." Xie Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Mrs. Lin deliberately pretended to be sick, this symptom is naturally nonsense, some people may have really been deceived by her, and some may also see it, but Mrs. Lin naturally won't admit it, and because she doesn't eat much, she is weak and can't see well, even if she can't see that she is sick, I'm afraid she can't help it, so she has been dragging it out like this." ”

"I think what my brother said should be right." Mu Shishi, who had not spoken on the side, also opened her mouth, "Mrs. Lin is very sick and born, and the eight achievements are her own doing. When I was in Mrs. Lin's house just now, I looked around, the pot of orchids was a little dilapidated, I smelled it carefully, there was a medicinal fragrance on it, and there was still a little medicinal residue on the soil of the orchid. That would be a little strange, now that I think about it, it should be Mrs. Lin who poured all those medicines on it. She didn't even take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, which is enough to see that she didn't think about this disease at all. ”

Xiao Ling'er didn't expect that Sister Shishi was not all blind when she was hanging around, and she even looked at these details.

It's a pity that this little girl is not a detective.

But why did she pretend to be sick, what did she do when she was lying in bed every day without eating or taking medicine? I didn't see that Shopkeeper Lin and Master He were about to die. ”

"Since she is pretending to be sick, she must have her own reasons." Mu Shishi took the empty teacup and turned it around in her hand, her eyes blinked and suddenly remembered something, and looked at Xiao Ling'er and Xie Yuan, "By the way, Shopkeeper Lin didn't have a concubine, right?" ”

"Isn't that what you should know best?" Xiao Ling'er snorted twice, only she was the most powerful at gossiping.

Mu Shishi also seemed to ask casually, snapping her fingers, "That's right, that's right, Shopkeeper Lin has never married a concubine, and there is only one wife and daughter in the family, so you say, who is the woman next to Shopkeeper Lin we see today?" ”
