Chapter 35: Poisoning
The white horse passed through the gap, and it will be there in a blink of an eye. And Shen Yu's family affair was set for three days later.
Eighteen Niang wore a hat, straightened the folds on Shen Yao's body, took the food box from Nan Zhi's hand, and said worriedly:
"Brother, you can't take a little girl with this spring, but you have to take the test for nine days, which is extremely inhumane. I asked Nam Chi to make some scallion cakes, steamed buns, and so on, and you ate them with bean sauce and dried meat. The water must be heated on a small stove, and the cake is placed on the pot and it will be heated in a short time......"
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Eighteen Niang has sent someone to the examination room. The Great Jin Dynasty does not engage in any imperial examination system, and it is not difficult for famous and wealthy families to enter the government and worship the prime minister once they are recommended.
Shen Yao patted Eighteen Niang's head with a smile, "Enough, if you take something again, you will fill the entire Tribute Courtyard!" Don't worry, I'm just going to give it a try, although I don't necessarily give you a champion to come back, the title of the gold list can always be. ”
The scholars on the side snorted coldly when they saw his confident look.
Brother, modesty is a virtue! You're going to be ridiculed by the crowd!
Eighteen Niang is actually quite worried in her heart, Shen Yao became famous at a young age, and he is very confident in himself, if he is not admitted this time, I am afraid that he will suffer a big blow, so how can it be good?
But no matter how worried she was, Shen Yao still had to line up to enter the examination room.
The people around were noisy, and although the scene was cleared early in the morning, there were still many homeless people wandering around, hoping that someone would buy them back.
One of them, Hanako, sat on the ground and handed a roasted sweet potato to the little girl beside her.
The little girl's face was dirty, her legs were full of yellow mud, she looked like she had come from afar, she had been hungry for many days, and she saw that the food was like a wolf, emitting a ghostly light, and she could resist the aroma of sweet potatoes.
While eating, she said: "Mrs. Chaohua is really a living Bodhisattva, if it weren't for the fact that this kind of sweet potato can be bought from the shop, where would we be able to get Chang'an." The whole family had starved to death long ago. ”
The old beggar nodded and instructed her, "You just came to Chang'an, right?" Mrs. Chaohua also set up a rice porridge shop in the south of the city, and each person could receive a roasted sweet potato and a bowl of corn porridge every day. The porridge is thick, it can fill your stomach and take care of it for a day! ”
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "I'll get it in a while, but grandpa, do you know where to send the Wanmin umbrella?" In order to thank Mrs. Chaohua for her kindness, our county wants to send her an umbrella! Let the world know that there is no virtue in God, but Mrs. Chaohua has the virtue of a good life! ”
The old beggar looked around, lowered his voice and said, "You have done so right! I heard that the imperial court did not send anyone to open a warehouse to release grain, and the grain, clothes, and tents were all provided by Mrs. Chaohua herself! This matter has been spread all over Chang'an City! ”
……
The scholars in the queue all pricked up their ears and listened curiously, and some of them whispered from time to time.
But there was a person who looked at the old beggar and the girl very seriously, thoughtfully.
Eighteen Niang hooked the corners of her mouth, if she didn't guess wrong, the topic of this year's strategy must be related to water control.
I don't know how many scholars heard these words and wrote an article about Mrs. Chaohua? She's looking forward to it.
"Namgy, let's go and go for a walk, and in nine days, we'll pick up my brother. I heard that there are many people in the south of the city who give porridge, so let's go too, maybe we can hear more touching stories of Mrs. Chaohua. ”
Nanzhi nodded, but he was inexplicable in his heart, obviously the Shen family had already set up a porridge shed, and even remembered to set up one, why did Eighteen Niang still say that she was going to give porridge.
In front of the public, she didn't want to ask questions, so she only waited for Eighteen Niang to get into the carriage before asking, "Xiaoniang, are we really going to the south of the city?" ”
Eighteen Niang shook her head, "Go home, Shen Yu is about to get married, and I haven't returned the gift yet." Besides, sending my brother out, I haven't even used the morning food. ”
Back in the province, Nam Zhi passed a meal from the big kitchen, a bowl of shrimp okra porridge, with golden millet cakes, meat crisp, and dessert is double skin milk.
Eighteen Niang looks heroic on the outside, but in fact, she is a sugar-free and unhappy master, and the best thing is the pair of skin milk, which she eats almost every meal.
Original, red bean, fruit, and honey take turns in battle.
As soon as the meal was served on the table, Eighteen Niang unexpectedly picked up the double-skin milk, but as soon as she scooped a spoonful, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell on the table, unconscious.
When Nanzhi saw it, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "Hurry, hurry, Xiping go to the doctor, the little lady fainted!" I'm afraid it's poisoning! ”
She usually speaks softly, but she didn't expect to shout like a bell, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs!
When Shen Qin, who lived in the courtyard next door, heard this, his hand shook, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered completely. She lifted her skirt and rushed to the Plum Courtyard.
As soon as she saw the fainting Eighteen Niang, she couldn't help crying, "Hurry up, go to the Rejuvenation Hall to ask for a doctor." My father is not here, so I can't hire a royal doctor. Doctor Sun of the Rejuvenation Hall has a lot of contacts with my house, please him, go and invite him. Beiliu quickly sent the steward in the front yard to ask his father to return home. ”
Xiping nodded, and quickly went to ask Dr. Sun.
That Doctor Sun, a white-bearded old man, took three steps and took a breath, and was almost carried into the house by Xiping.
He pulled his collar, stepped forward, rolled Eighteen Niang's eyelids, and then took a silver needle and pricked it in her person, and Eighteen Niang woke up leisurely.
I saw that she was a mouthful of blood again, and her face was like ashes, as if she was only hanging on her last breath.
As soon as Dr. Sun finished administering the needle, Shen Ze would come. He looks darker, thinner, because of the recent floods, many officials have fallen to the ground, as the secretary of the ministry, he has been busy, and has not returned home for seven or eight days.
As soon as he returned, he saw Eighteen Niang, who looked like him, lying on the hospital bed, bright red blood gushing out of her mouth.
In a trance, it seemed that it was not Eighteen Niang lying there, but her young self.
"Doctor Sun, how is the little girl!"
Doctor Sun shook his head, "Little Niang, this is something unclean, poisoned, the old man is shallow, so he can only induce vomiting for her, and then prescribe some antidote herbs, and do her best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”
Eighteen Niang, she is going to die.
To be honest, Shen Ze originally thought that this was another conspiracy of the Eighteen Niang Envoys, the purpose of which was to pull Wu Gui off the horse, but now, he was not sure.
Is there really anyone who gambles with their lives?
The smell of this vomiting medicine is very unpleasant, and Eighteen Niang took a sip and spit it out. When Dr. Sun saw it, he was very happy, and he didn't care about getting dirty, and he brushed it with a few stitches, and pierced Eighteen Niang like a hedgehog.
He turned his head and said, "After tonight, if I don't faint anymore, my life should be saved, but fortunately, I found it in time." I don't know what the little lady ate to cause such a thing to happen? Let the old man check it, and see what kind of poison it is. ”
With tears in her eyes, Nanzhi took the double-skinned milk on the table and said, "That's it, let the cook make it early in the morning, and the little lady just took a bite and vomited blood." ”
