Chapter 8: Returning to the Soul (I)
Hearing the girl's exclamation, everyone suddenly got up.
Mr. Yao turned around and gave his hand again, with the intention of giving a little peace. After that, he entered it with Zhuang Hu.
When I got inside, I saw three or four mothers-in-law gathered in the tent, and the girls carried water and handed hand towels wave after wave.
There was an old doctor sitting next to the bed, and after Mr. Yao came in, he observed a ring, and then slowly saluted the old doctor. After the ceremony, Mr. Yao asked the old doctor, "What is the situation when the old gentleman sees it?" ”
The old doctor shook his head.
Mr. Yao wanted to look sideways, and when he saw a curtain around him, he couldn't help but lose his courtesy when he crossed over to see it, so he could only ask the old doctor. Seeing the old doctor shake his head, the situation was more serious than expected, and then asked, "What kind of medicine did you take?" ”
The old doctor arched his hand and said: "I entered the white lock orchid before, but this herb has been old for a long time, the medicinal power has been lost, and other symptoms have been hooked, but I am not panicked, and I have entered the longevity turtle ginseng fruit, and I have just boiled Ganoderma lucidum licorice and ginseng...... It's too much, and it's poison after all. How can such a messy recipe be used? The old lady said that she wanted to take care of it, this is a rush to the doctor! ”
Mr. Yao knows that this is a foolish approach, why is the old doctor so rash in treatment? The heart thinks, but the mouth is respectful and humble.
Mr. Yao said: "According to the old man's diagnosis, how did the patient cause the symptoms? ”
The old doctor shook his head: "It should be said that oleander flowers will not be like this." After entering the White Lock Orchid, it can be said that it has no medicinal effect, but after entering, it collapsed with a lot of blood. ”
Mr. Yao only understood in his heart that there was a lot of blood, the pregnant woman's breath was weak, and if she wanted to save her life, she had to take a big tonic medicine, and the old doctor came up with a next strategy.
At this point, Mr. Yao sighed: "That longevity turtle ginseng fruit is a cold fruit medicine, although it is rare, it has the effect of nourishing yin, but I am afraid that it will backfire at this time." It is said that the poison is caused, and it is suppressed with ginseng and ganoderma licorice, although this party is not hindered, only this medicine enters, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve temporary effect. Poison on poison, this ......"
The old doctor was sweating profusely, and he repeatedly asked Mr. Yao: "Mr. Gaojian." ”
Zhuang Hu, who was standing on the side, was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and begged in a low voice: "Do the two gentlemen have a way?" ”
Mr. Yao replied, "Can I take a look?" ”
When the old doctor heard this, he avoided face slightly. Zhuang Hu lifted the curtain, Mr. Yao visited and took a look, only to see the little aunt lying on the bed, the woman's face was purple and white, her anger was like a gossamer, her eyes were bloodshot and long, and the long hair on her wet head was scattered, half of her face was covered.
Mr. Yao didn't manage etiquette anymore, stepped forward, squatted slightly in front of the bed, grabbed the little aunt's wrist, and took a little examiner. When she stopped, she got up and put down the curtain.
Zhuang Hu asked with concern, "Sir, how is it?" ”
Mr. Yao thought about it, but he didn't listen.
Zhuang Hu's heart tightened, he was afraid that it was really bad, and he was about to turn around and go out to report, when he suddenly saw Mr. Yao wake up and say, "Big girl, wait." Then he hurriedly said: "Now, other medicines are not busy first, first go to find a black chicken, boil it in a clay pot, add cooked land, angelica, the number is not limited, and then mix it with peanuts and rice coat skin, and boil out three bowls thickly." It's going to be fast. ”
When Zhuang Hu heard this, he seemed to have hope, so he happily agreed to go. Mr. Yao said again: "In addition, are there air-dried dates?" Take out three or five cores, add the brown sugar stored in the cellar, and mash them into a pulp. Let people take it first. ”
While talking, he came out with Zhuang Hu.
Outside, when the old lady heard this, they were all relieved.
Zhuang Hu instructed Mr. Yao to speak again, and for the rest, a few consuls from Dongfu went down.
The old lady ordered a stool to be brought for the old doctor and Mr. Yao to sit on. The old doctor came here for half a day, and he was afraid that there was no hope of saving people for half a day, and now that Mr. Yao came to relieve the scene, he was going back with a reason, how could he still sit still, so he made a farewell.
The old lady and the others did not leave him, so he was allowed to go, and then instructed Zhuang Hu to give some silver to see if he was sent out of the house.
This old lady treated Mr. Yao again, watched tea, and offered fruits and snacks. After presenting them one by one, the old lady asked, "Sir, do you have a plan in mind?" That ......" didn't wait for him to answer, and hurriedly said to Qin's family, Aunt Xi, Zhuang Hu and others: "Hurry up, thank you!" ”
before the sound stopped, and the people of Dongfu and others all gave a salute.
Mr. Yao didn't dare to accept it, so he stood up and gave a salute in return.
At the right time, Zhuang Lu, the second master of Beifu, sent someone to ask, do you still need to find a famous doctor? It is said that he is a doctor who came to the highlands from Kyoto, and his medical skills are extremely good. Besides, I want to invite the eldest girl and aunt to come over to discuss the matter.
Everyone was troubled by the affairs of the little aunt, and they should be happy to hear that the highland doctor was coming. Then where is the Cao family willing to wait for the old lady to put down her words, and there are a series of sour words. She knew that her husband Zhuang Lu must be looking for the eldest girl Zhuang Hu to take care of the woman's entry into the mansion in the old part of Xinjiang.
So, Cao said: "Now here is a master doctor like Mr. Yao, I don't know where the highland doctor came from, boasting of extremely high medical skills, just now the old doctor is still a famous doctor, why did he call Chichi and run away!" Let the big girl go, maybe you can see the real chapter? If you want me to say, old lady, this place will be handed over to Mr. Yao for treatment, and it is an old acquaintance over there of the girl, so it is safe. ”
Although Cao's words are unbearable, there is some truth to it. The old lady said nothing.
Seeing that the old lady was silent, the Qin family did not dare to cross her and signal to Zhuang Hu. Where did the rest of the crowd dare to say "yes" or "no".
Seeing this scene, Cao Shi was satisfied and happy.
After the messenger in Beifu left, the little aunt had just entered the soup and jujube candy ordered by Mr. Yao, and the second master Zhuang Lu sent the servant of the first household to invite the eldest girl, saying that there was something to discuss.
Zhuang Hu was about to respond, but the Cao family refused to let go, grabbed her, and said, "What is a big deal bigger than the matter of Dongfu, and the big thing is even bigger than the sky?" Is the old lady still here? I'll go! ”
The old lady blindly held back, and really listened to Cao's voice so loudly.
As a result, the Cao family left everyone and led Guiyuan and other girls back to Beifu.
Going out from the south courtyard of the East Mansion and leaving the gate of the East Mansion, the Cao family asked the first household to stop and ask questions strictly.
The first household to run a small business with Zhuang Lu also has some status in the house, so he didn't have to invite him for such things, but the second master really paid attention to it, so he had to come. Now Cao's question is not that.
Cao said: "What's important for the second master to say to the eldest girl?" Didn't you see that Dongfu was going to die? ”
The first family was afraid of the Cao family all day long, and when he was asked like this, his heart trembled.
Cao said: "You have followed the master with Qian Zhuang for many years, so you should do things properly." When the second master has any will, you should mention it, but I don't understand this kind of truth and rules, and Baba came to Dongfu at this juncture, which is not enough to make people laugh. ”
Cao's no matter whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, she first takes advantage of the reason and then says, she only believes in the first opportunity, talks about business, and succeeds everywhere, all of which are used in this move. But it means being mean to others.
The first household stood upright, still listening to the training.
Cao Shi said again: "I don't care about the second master, I don't have to deal with anything, and I will go back and forth to the old lady when the matter of the East Mansion is over." The hot tofu is in the bowl, and I am afraid that I will not be able to serve it, and I am not afraid of burning my tongue in a hurry! ”
After speaking, he turned his head and wanted to enter the East Mansion.
The first household was afraid that he would not be able to pay the difference when he went back, so Baba begged forward: "Madam, we don't distinguish between the second master and you, right?" You are the master of our northern mansion. It's not at your beck yet. Inside, you beckoned me to find the second master, and I had to climb to ask for a thousand beatings! There must not be a reply yet. ”
Cao Shi sneered: "Yo! This can be said to my heart. That's it, Guiyuan, you go back with the first household, and tell your lord that the eldest girl is not free. Let's just say, the second master's matter, when the little aunt's handling is finished, we will handle his affairs well, what's the hurry! ”
Guiyuan replied, "Yes, ma'am." So he went and urged the first household.
The first household was pushed and didn't move his feet, stood upright and knelt in front of Cao's family, and said with a sad face: "Madam, what about the rules you set!" ”
Cao Shi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ouch! I'm sure I'm not wrong with the rules! I didn't say the rules, I can't flip them! Let's go back! ”
The first household flicked his knees, reached Cao's feet, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Madam, you ...... Just pity me, you know my temper. If it's not proper, I don't want to pay for these two months. Besides, the big girl used to talk about it, and it was not a big deal. ”
Cao Shi put away his smiling face and "hummed" a few times.
The first household begged again, and the Cao family was furious, turned around and took a sip, and said fiercely: "Sooner or later, there will be a good day for you!" Beg me! Please, your new wife, behave in a proper manner! So that you can ...... These ......"
Cao Shi "hummed" heavily, and finally strode into Dongfu.
No, the first household got up and reluctantly walked with Guiyuan. After a few steps, he asked Guiyuan to go back with Cao.
Guiyuan was also entrusted by his master, and he didn't dare to leave without permission, and he took out what the first household had just said to the Cao family.
Since then, the two of them have not been in harmony with each other, and they have returned to Beifu one after the other. On the Tongfu trail, I happened to meet Zhuang Pu's personal maids, Xianglian Lingcai Tong and Wang Wu, and instructed a few little servants to move things.
Guiyuan doesn't like to ask more on weekdays, and sees that Xianglian doesn't manage such hard work on weekdays, but now he is curious, so he doesn't open the first account and asks Xianglian.
Xianglian said that Mr. Guan from Shu came to Kyoto, and the second master Zhuang Pu entertained him to live in the house. Some of these things are Mr. Guan's belongings, and some are gifts prepared by the second master for Mr. Guan.
After all, it didn't matter, and Guiyuan no longer cared, so he continued to go back to Beifu with the first household to resume his life.
When they arrived in Beifu, the first household and Guiyuan confronted each other in the process of inviting the eldest girl, and the second master Zhuang Lu was speechless. only angrily dropped a pot of tea, and raised his voice "roll" in a row. The two of them were gray-headed and withdrew in front of the other maids and servants.
Out of Beifu, Guiyuan still returned to Dongfu along the road, and met Xianglian again on the Tongfu Trail.
Xianglian saw that Guiyuan's eyes were red, so she asked her with concern: "What's wrong with my sister?" ”
Gui Yuan found a corner stone, sat down, cried fiercely for a while, and said: "Everyone in the house thinks that I followed the second wife, only I am the one who bullies, and no one bullies me." Look at the second master and the two people in the first household of the former Qian Bank, and they are not good at doing things by themselves, and they also affect me. ”
Xianglian said strangely: "How do you say this?" ”
Gui Yuan said: "Whatever he has to do with me, I will go back according to the master's words." He was fine, with a stick and a mallet, and he didn't help to say a word, and said that I deliberately instigated the second wife not to bring the eldest girl back. ”
Xianglian was not greedy, she listened to it for a minute or two, she was not too clear, and she didn't want to inquire. Just a few words of relief.
Gui Yuan said: "Sister, you know me, when did you show your face in front of your wife if you had a grievance?" Today, only my sister knows how to see it. Tell me to tell my wife, but I don't dare or can't. If God sees it, and you testify to your sister one day, I am crying like this for my wife. ”
Just now, a few girls passed by, glancing at Guiyuan with their eyebrows down, Guiyuan half covered and half avoided, and was angry and had nowhere to attack, so he scolded the girl who passed by: "Thief hoof, look at your aunt's good deeds?" Stealing your heart and hiding your eyes? What kind of eyes do you take? Carefully, I tell you in charge, get them all out! ”
The girls were afraid, so they hurriedly ran away, and Gui Yuan was even more angry, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the girls from a distance.
Xianglian was afraid that Guiyuan would hurt someone, so she sat down with her, took her hand and comforted: "Sister, why bother yourself, the master's business is the master's own business." What do you have to do with it, the master is angry and can't buckle it on your head. If you want me to say, reason is in people's hearts. My sister is down-to-earth and worthy of her master, so she is righteous, and she is not afraid of what people say. ”
Gui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xianglian gratefully, and suddenly had nothing to say.
Xianglian said: "How is it in Dongfu?" ”
Gui Yuan sneered: "No matter what, that's it!" ”
After that, Guiyuan got up refreshingly, clapped his hands and brushed his skirt, went to the dust and drove the soil, and went to the East Mansion lightly and coldly.
This Fang Xianglian looked at Guiyuan's figure, sighed, and only shook her head.
At this time, it was almost late, and a round of the moon was attached to the Qiongkong, like a contemplation bead knot on the forehead of the fairy Chang'e, shining brightly.
