Chapter 14 Etiology

When everyone was waiting anxiously, they finally heard a voice from outside the door, "Okay girl, slow down, slow down, isn't it already here, my old bones are about to break." ”

Cui Jing hurriedly went out of the door, only to see Siyu leading an old man with gray hair and a medicine box on his shoulder, and was hurriedly entering the Songhe Hall.

"Doctor Zhang, you have worked hard, please take a look at the little girl in the family first, somehow during the banquet, it became this painful appearance." Cui Jing personally reached out and took the medicine box, not caring about avoiding suspicion, and led Dr. Zhang into the house and went straight to the blue yarn cabinet where Lie Yun was lying.

Cheng Jinsi hurriedly got up and avoided to the side, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the three fingers that Old Doctor Zhang put on Lie Yun's wrist to diagnose the pulse.

After a while, Dr. Zhang withdrew his hand, took the medicine box, and took out a silver needle an inch long.

Cui Jing and Cheng Jinsi were so frightened that when they saw Doctor Zhang take out the needle, they trembled with fright.

Cui Jing asked in a panic, "Doctor Zhang, what is the disease of the little girl, and does she still need an injection?" ”

Cheng Jinsi kept his mouth closed, as if he was afraid that he would scream out accidentally, but his face was pale.

"Shut up, the old man will explain to you later, it's important to save this girl doll now." didn't even look at the two of them, Doctor Zhang only asked Zilan to take the candle flame, burned the silver needle, and ordered Cuizhu and Zilan to help Lieyun lie on his side, and the needle was quickly and steadily pierced into the big vertebral point behind Lieyun's neck.

After instructing the two of them to take care of Lieyun and not to move the needle, Dr. Zhang walked out of the door and sat down outside.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb, and when Dr. Zhang could write the prescription, Mrs. Cui personally instructed Mingqin to go to Baicaotang on Zhengyang Street outside the alley to knock on the door and grab the medicine. ”

Doctor Zhang didn't ignore Mrs. Cui as much as he did to Cui Jing and his wife, but he only greeted Mrs. Cui and didn't reply, but turned around and asked Cui Jing.

"Are you the official Cui Shilang?"

"It's down there, I don't know ......"

Without waiting for Cui Jing to speak, Dr. Zhang asked again, "Is this your daughter?" ”

"It's the little girl, I don't know why the little girl looks like this? Please ask Dr. Zhang to solve our doubts. This time, without waiting for Cui Jing to open his mouth, Cheng Jinsi had already said tightly.

"Hmph, in vain you are still the home of the eunuch, and now it is late autumn, and you still give this little girl cold things to eat every day. Cold disease is still harmful to men, not to mention that women are already cold, and the symptoms are worse, and the doll has not yet been able to take care of it, if it damages the uterus, you will harm the doll for a lifetime. Civilian homes do not commit this taboo either. Dr. Zhang scoffed.

Everyone in the Cui family looked at each other.

Old Madam Cui looked at Cheng Jinsi: "You all use breakfast in Songhe Hall every day, and lunch and dinner are also made in the big kitchen, why does Yun'er eat cold things every day?" ”

Cui Jing also looked at Cheng Jinsi in confusion, not realizing the hint of reproach in his eyes.

Cheng Jinsi saw it, and the painful look on his face flashed, "Back to my mother, Yun'er is sick, don't say three meals a day, that is, tea and snacks on weekdays, and my daughter-in-law has to ask in person, for fear that Yun'er will have any discomfort, how can she prepare cold things for Yun'er to eat every day!" Saying that, Cheng Jinsi turned to Doctor Zhang again, "Doctor Zhang, they all say that you have excellent medical skills, can you please tell the concubine, what kind of cold things did the little girl eat to cause this?" ”

Doctor Zhang frowned, "The old man is a doctor and not the cook of your Cui Mansion, how can I know what you eat every day." Acupuncture does not cure the symptoms, it is only a temporary effect, you need to follow the prescription, let the little girl take it once a day for half a month to see, if there is no improvement, you don't need to go to me again, please ask the imperial doctor to go. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at everyone, but went to the inside to take the needle from the back of Lieyun's neck and put it into the medicine box, turned around and said goodbye to go out.

Everyone couldn't keep it, so Cui Jing had to order Qingshan, a little girl next to him, to take out fifty taels of silver as a consultation fee, personally hand it over to Dr. Zhang, and personally send him out. And Cui Jing and Qingshan, who had sent people back, didn't see it, and Dr. Zhang, who was still trembling when he walked, walked out of the gate of Cui's mansion, but lost the rickety posture of the old man, but rose up, and a few ups and downs disappeared into the night.

Inside the house, Cheng Jinsi had already instructed Hanlu to go to the big kitchen to inquire, what kind of food could be eaten in addition to the three meals in the purple courtyard recently, and what cold things could there be.

After waiting for a while, Cui Jing came back to Songhe Hall. Han Lu then also returned, and said to everyone, "Back to the old lady, old lady, old lady, the big kitchen said that the purple courtyard has not been added to food in the past half month, only Songtaoxuan made two crystal elbows, and the fragrant courtyard made chestnut cakes once." ”

"Then, could it be that Yun'er made something to eat in the small kitchen in her courtyard to make it like this?" Cheng Jin thought about it, and was about to tell Hanlu to call Lieyun's maid to come out for questioning, when Mingqin's room had already boiled the medicine and brought it into the house.

Cheng Jinsi took the medicine and entered the blue yarn cabinet inside, Lieyun had woken up, and there was no longer a cold sweat on his body, but there was still no trace of blood on his face.

personally fed Lieyun to drink the medicine, and instructed Lieyun to lie down and rest first, and left Cuizhu to take care of Lieyun, and Cheng Jinsi called Zilan to go outside to question.

But Zilan also replied, the county lord had three meals during the day, breakfast was used in Songhe Hall, and the four of them took turns to go to the big kitchen to get food and return to the courtyard for lunch and evening.

Cheng Jinsi didn't believe it, and was about to ask Zilan, when he saw a person running out of the room and kneeling in front of him.

When I looked closely, it was the green bamboo that Fang had left to take care of the burning clouds.

Without waiting for Cheng Jinsi to ask, Cuizhu had already kowtowed and said, "Slave and maid are brave." When I went to the lady and talked to her, the slave and maid were willing to be punished, but the slave and maid really couldn't bear to see the county lord suffer such a great crime. The county lord has indeed used cold things every day in this half moon, that is, ......"

"Cuizhu, shut up!"

Cuizhu was about to break through the cold thing, but was interrupted by a weak but angry voice, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Lieyun's hand grasping the door frame and crooked there.

Cuizhu didn't care about it anymore, and didn't wait for Cheng Jinsi to be right, he and Zilan hurriedly stood up and ran to Lie Yun's side. Old lady Cui frowned and couldn't hide the concern on his face, but Old Lady Cui asked Cheng Jinsi to quickly help Lie Yun to sit down beside her, and ordered Gu Se to take out his white fox light fur and personally drape Lie Yun.

"Yun'er, what is that cold thing that your maid said just now?" Cui Jing stared at Lieyun and settled down, and asked loudly.

"Grandfather Cui, Grandmother Cui, aunt and uncle, don't worry." Lie Yun glanced at Cui Jing, "Cuizhu only saw me in pain, and he was so frightened that he was at a loss, so he would talk nonsense, and there was nothing ...... about it."

"County Lord, you just let the slave and maid say," Cui Zhu knelt down again, and his voice was already crying, "You are grateful to Madame for taking care of you It is not easy, and you don't want to cause trouble to Madame anymore, but if Madame knows, it is because of Madame that today's fruit has been caused and your body has been harmed, Madame regards you as a daughter, at that time, how will Madame regret it!" ”

These words not only confused the second elder and Cui Jing, but Cheng Jinsi himself was also confused.
