Xia Jin cleaned his hand, reached out to take the pulse for Mrs. Luo, and when he withdrew his hand, his expression was a little solemn.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Pinghou saw her expression, and his heart "chuckled".

Xia Jin's treatment of the emperor, the queen mother once told her. For Xia Jin's calmness and confidence, the Queen Mother praised it.

In the face of the emperor and the poison, Xia Jin can be light-hearted; Now with a solemn expression, it seems that Mrs. Luo's illness is not ordinary and dangerous.

"Not so good." Xia Jin said truthfully, "I'll make a pair of white soup, try it first." ”

The subordinate next to him had already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Xia Jin wrote the prescription, handed it to the people of Cen Mansion to grab the medicine, and asked, "Is there any liquor in the house?" I'm going to use it to wipe Mrs. Luo's body. ”

"Yes." Shaw Road.

The men of the Cen family are all soldiers and like spirits the most, so the spirits of the Cen family are excellent.

After a while, the two mothers-in-law came in, each holding a porcelain altar in their arms.

"These two kinds of wine, Miss Xia, which one is suitable." Shaw Road.

Xia Jin scooped it with a small spoon, tasted a small bite of each, and frowned.

The ancients used tillers to make wine, tillers are the sprouted grains, and the wine produced is called "li", which is a sweet wine, and the alcohol content is very low, so the ancients said that "the friend of the villain is sweet". That's the kind of wine they drank in Wu'an Houfu just now.

There is also a method of making sake from koji, which is the real sake, and the alcohol is heavier, about 10% to 18%. It was the two so-called "spirits" in front of her now.

This kind of wine doesn't work at all.

Xia Jin sighed.

An hour ago, she said in Wu'an Houfu that she didn't want to get the liquor out so as not to cause trouble. Now it seems that it can't be done without it.

Better than nothing.

She had a jar of wine of a slightly higher degree poured out. He dipped it in a handkerchief and rubbed it on Mrs. Luo's armpits and the crooks of her legs.

By this time, it was already completely dark.

Xia Jin knew that the life of the ancients was basically sunset. Xuan Pinghou is too old to work hard. And the men of Cen Mansion are about to go on the expedition, and the Xiao family has to prepare a lot of things for them, and they have been very busy these days, and now they are also very sleepy.

She said, "This heat is now high. It's impossible to retreat right away. It's the middle of the night. It may be even more important. I'll stay here tonight, and you all go and rest. Anyway, it doesn't help if everyone stays here. ”

Xiao looked at his mother-in-law. Wait for her to speak.

"It's fine." Old lady Xuan Pinghou nodded.

"If you have any problems, just send someone to tell me, and I'll come right over." Xiao Shi advised, "I will leave the Zhang Wu family here." If you want to grab a medicine, a decoction, or something, you tell her to do it. ”

Zhang Wu's family. is the chief steward of the backyard of Xuanping Houfu, a woman in her forties who is extremely capable and capable. With her there, any of Xia Jin's orders can be executed well.

"Okay." Xia Jin responded.

"Otherwise, I'll be here with you." Cen Ziman said suddenly.

"No need." Xia Jin said with a smile. "If Mrs. Luo's condition doesn't get worse, I can still squint on the couch next to me for a while after she finishes drinking the medicine. You are here. I still have to talk to you. You're doing you a disservice. ”

"Yes, Sister Man. Don't make a mess. The old lady Xuanping said, patting Xia Jin's hand again, "Child, thank you for your hard work." Originally, you were a guest, and we went to sleep as the host, leaving you, a guest, to work hard here, which should not have been. But I'm only relieved that you're here. Please other Langzhong, first, there is a difference between men and women, which is inconvenient; Second, I can't trust their medical skills. That's why I'm not going to say kind things to you. When Mrs. Luo recovers, I will thank you again. ”

"This is the duty of a doctor, and the old lady doesn't have to be polite."

The old lady Xuanping called the maids and mothers-in-law in the house again and asked them to listen to Xia Jin's words, and then she took Xiao's hand and took Cen Ziman back.

Xia Jin sent them to the door, turned around, and heard Mrs. Luo, who had been much quieter just now, shouting again: "Brother Qian, Brother Qian......"

She hurried over, and saw Mrs. Luo moving irritably on the bed, her face looked a little pale in the dim light, and there were some fine lines under her closed eyes.

She couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Mrs. Luo carefully, and found that not only did she have wrinkles on her face, but also her hair scattered on the pillow was mixed with white hair.

She couldn't help but be slightly moved.

People in this era get married early and have children early. Mrs. Luo is Luo Qian, who was conceived on the wedding night, Luo Qian is eighteen years old this year, and she herself is only thirty-five years old.

The daughter of a rich and noble family is also married to a family that does not worry about food and clothing. Even if the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, Mrs. Luo's temper is hard, and she is usually not sad. In addition, when she was in Linjiang, although her complexion was not as smooth as that of a young woman, and she had a little crow's feet when she smiled, she still looked very young on the whole, and the crows on her head were very black and bright.

But she has only been seen for more than a month, and she has aged a lot.

Coupled with this illness, it can be seen that Luo Qian's trip to the border has hit her hard. She was so worried about her son that she became a knot.

"Brother Qian, don't go, my mother promised you, promised you to marry Miss Xia......" Mrs. Luo on the bed turned over again, muttering in her mouth.

Xia Jin sighed secretly, stepped forward, and said to Mother Song, "I'll come." ”

Song's mother is Mrs. Luo's companion and her confidant. Mrs. Luo has something on her mind, and she never hides it from Mother Song. Therefore, the matter between Xia Jin and Luo Qian, as well as the fact that Mrs. Luo came to the capital to beg Xia Jin to write a letter to Luo Qian, but Xia Jin categorically refused, Mother Song knew about it.

At this time, seeing Xia Jin reaching out to come over to pick up the handkerchief in her hand, she was very surprised, and was stunned for a while, until the maid next to her, Liu Lu, gently called "Mother Song", she came to her senses, handed the handkerchief over, and said uneasily: "Miss Xia, how embarrassing is this?" ”

Xia Jin ignored her, soaked the veil with well water, wrung it out, and gently put it on Mrs. Luo's forehead.

"Miss Xia, the medicine decoction is here." Zhang Wujia saw that the maid came in carefully with the medicine bowl, and hurriedly reminded Xia Jin softly.

"Give it to me." Xia Jin took it, scooped a little bit with a spoon and dripped it onto the back of his hand, feeling that the temperature was just right, so he asked Liu Lu to help Mrs. Luo up, and she fed Mrs. Luo medicine spoonful by spoon.

After taking two sips, Mrs. Luo suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at Xia Jin.

"Madame, are you awake?" Mother Song exclaimed in surprise.

"Bitter." Mrs. Luo spoke, twisting her face to avoid the spoon that Xia Jin handed to her lips.

This child's general behavior made Xia Jin slightly stunned.

Mother Song hurriedly explained: "My wife was afraid of hardship when she was a child, and she never liked to drink medicine. Can Miss Xia add some honey to the medicine? ”

Xia Jin saw that Mrs. Luo was squirming and refused to take the medicine, so she had to order the people of Cen Mansion to bring honey and add two spoonfuls to it in front of Mrs. Luo, so that Mrs. Luo was willing to drink the medicine.

Mother Song wiped Mrs. Luo's mouth with a wet handkerchief, and then helped her lie down.

Xia Jin touched her head, twisted the veil again, and put it on her forehead again.

Probably because the medicine worked, Mrs. Luo slept peacefully this time, and she no longer had the irritability that she had tossed and turned before, and she didn't talk nonsense anymore.

Xia Jin was relieved to see that she didn't burn it again, and told Mother Song that they would take turns staring, and she went to rest on the couch outside.

Then she slept until midnight, Mother Song woke her up, and Mrs. Luo burned again.

This time, Xia Jin had to use acupuncture, gave Mrs. Luo a few injections, and asked the maid to bring wine to wipe Mrs. Luo's body.

After tossing and turning like this all night, it was not until the next morning that Mrs. Luo's condition stabilized.

"Miss Xia, you asked someone to clean up the next room, you go and sleep." Mother Song looked at Xia Jin's gaze and was grateful and apologetic.

"Okay." Xia Jin knew that people with fever were more severe at night, and they were much better during the day. She didn't shirk it, and turned around and went to the wing.

Not long after she left, Mrs. Luo slowly opened her eyes.

"Ma'am, are you awake?" Mother Song was very happy to see that her master's eyes were clear, unlike the appearance of being confused even if he opened his eyes when he was making a fuss about the medicine.

Zhang Wu's family also happily came over.

When Mrs. Luo saw her, she saw several maids in the Cen Mansion here in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "...... you guys How is it here? ”

When she entered Beijing, she also brought four maids and two housekeepers, plus a Song mother. So although she lives in Luofu, she still calls her own subordinates in life. At most, the subordinates of Cen Mansion do some rough work such as cleaning and delivering water.

"Madame, you had a fever all night last night, and it frightened everyone." Mother Song said busily, "Mother Zhang is here to serve you on the orders of the old lady and the lady. ”

"Thank you, Mom Zhang." Mrs. Luo said weakly, also called Liu Lu, "Take two taels of silver for Mother Zhang's wine." ”

Liu Lu turned around and went to open the box and get the silver.

"Willow Green Girl, slow down." Zhang Wu's family first called Liu Lu, and then said to Mrs. Luo, "The old slave doesn't dare to take credit." Last night, she worked hard to serve her wife and cured her illness, but it was Miss Xia. The old slave was a stake in the house last night, and he didn't do anything, and he really didn't dare to be cheeky enough to accept his wife's reward. ”

"Miss Xia?" Mrs. Luo was stunned for a moment, and turned her eyes to look at Mother Song.

"Thanks to Miss Xia last night." Mother Song told her what Xia Jin did for Mrs. Luo last night, and said with a smile at the end, "But Mother Zhang is also very hard, she stayed up all night last night, let's grab the medicine and decoction medicine, and we want to go east and west, it all depends on Zhang's mother Zhang Luo." ”

"I just listen to the old lady and the lady's orders, and I don't have to work hard." Zhang Wujia's desperate resignation refused to accept the reward of two taels of silver.

Mrs. Luo didn't insist any longer, waved her hand at Mother Song, motioned for her to stop, turned her head and looked around the room, and asked, "Where is Miss Xia?" (To be continued)
