Chapter 173: Life and Death at a Glance

Both are scholars, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo, and even the deceased Scholar Cui are all acquaintances, and now they meet here, so they are naturally very lively and close.

Mr. Guo specially thanked Mrs. Cui, and almost half-sold and half-gave him a Zhuangzi.

Old Man Liu said for Mrs. Cui, "Brother Guo, you are so tormented by the juniors, and when the scholars were still alive, they also respected you a lot. You founded Taihua Academy, which no one knows in Kyoto, but it is ranked first in the world, and many students are honored as the chief of the mountain. Now, it is also fate that Jinrou can live with you as a neighbor.

"In the future, it will be inconvenient for me to come over in the city, but you live next door, and I want you to take care of Jinrou a little more. This child's life is miserable! ”

Mr. Guo hurriedly nodded in response, before buying Zhuangzi, he also inquired a few words, and vaguely heard some of them.

At this time, he promised, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they will move around more in the future." If Jinrou has anything to do, just let people go to Zhuangzi and say it. ”

Mrs. Cui hurriedly got up and thanked him, and finally introduced Mr. Wen and Li Laosi to Liu Dangtou and others to his old man.

Mr. Wen is a senior apprentice of Cui University, and Mr. Guo has also seen him, and he still has some impressions in a trance.

But when it was Li Laosi and Liu Dart's turn, he was a little confused.

Because no matter how they look at it, they don't look like scholars, but they stand behind them, and the young man holding the female doll has a quiet bookish air between his eyebrows.

As for Doctor Zhang, he dozed off when the old man entered the house, ignoring everyone at all.

Mrs. Cui didn't treat Li Laosi and the others slowly, and talked to Mr. Guo carefully.

"Mountain Chief, I was delayed in moving south due to an incident, and there were many dangers on the road, but fortunately I met a kind person to rescue me, so I could come to Jiangnan safely. The Li brothers and Liu Darttou, as well as Doctor Zhang, are my lifesavers. ”

Mr. Guo didn't know what he thought, his face was very complicated, and he said with emotion, "You are lucky, at that time, it is really rare to have someone to help." ”

Mr. Wen opened his mouth to say something, but Mrs. Cui took the lead, "Mountain Chief, Uncle Liu, let's have a banquet first, and talk while eating." ”

"Okay, talk while you eat." Old Man Liu nodded and greeted Mr. Guo, "We haven't seen each other for many years, have two drinks?" ”

"Okay, two drinks." Mr. Guo reluctantly raised his interest and said with a smile, "I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I can't drink too much, just two glasses." When I'm ready, I'll visit the house again, and we'll get drunk. ”

"Okay." Old Man Liu smiled and agreed.

Soon, the banquet was set.

Mrs. Cui is the master, but as a woman, there are many inconveniences, so she can only have Mr. Liu to entertain guests.

Old man Liu sat in the main seat, on the left hand side was Mr. Guo, on the back hand side was Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng, Guo family's nephew Guo Qing, Zhang Shenyi, Li Laosi and Liu Dart sat down in turn.

At the other table, Mrs. Cui brought Jiaren and Wen Hao, the youngest grandson of the Guo family, plus a good news.

Mrs. Cui took back the dowry, and the silver was not bad at all, and the banquet was very rich.

Jiayin didn't care about others, so he ate his stomach round first.

After Jiaren picked out the fish bones for his sister, he went to take care of Guo Wenhao, but Guo Wenhao didn't move, and finally half a bowl of fish meat went into Jiayin's stomach.

Mrs. Cui thought about it and asked Sister-in-law Qiong to take the snack box.

Sure enough, Wen Hao hugged a piece of butterfly crisp and finally ate it.

Jiayin was full, drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and looked at Guo Wenhao's gaze, with a little envy and jealousy.

This child must not have escaped the famine and endured hardships, otherwise he would not be such a picky eater.

On the main table, Mr. Guo occasionally looked over and sighed.

"My grandson has always been a picky eater and doesn't eat, when can he eat like the little fat girl next to him."

Doctor Zhang was "struggling" with a piece of white chopping chicken, and when he heard this, he said, "There is fire in the womb, the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and it will be almost the same for a year of careful conditioning." ”

Mr. Guo was stunned when he heard this, and turned to look at Mr. Wen and the others.

Mr. Wen said, "This is Doctor Zhang, his medical skills are quite exquisite, we came all the way from the north, through nearly a thousand miles of mountains and forests, all relying on his old man to save his life." ”

"Really?" Mr. Guo was pleasantly surprised, and quickly got up and saluted, asking Doctor Zhang to help his little grandson diagnose and treat.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Guo Qing's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Old Doctor Zhang was also full, so he simply started to work directly, looked at it, asked questions, and after some examination, he prescribed a prescription.

"This medicine is one pair a day, take it for half a month, and then ask me to change the prescription. Not surprisingly, if you take a new prescription every five days in the future, you will be able to eat and sleep for a long time. ”

Mr. Guo hurriedly thanked him, but Guo Qing suddenly interjected, "Is this prescription successful, we have found more than a dozen doctors, and we have treated them for half a year, but it has no effect." ”

This is questioning the medical skills of the old doctor Zhang, the old doctor glanced at him and sneered, "Do those dozen doctors have imperial doctors?" When Lao Tzu trained the imperial doctor as a grandson, you were not born yet. ”

Guo Qing was not convinced, and wanted to refute, but Old Doctor Zhang said again, "Also, if you want to save your life, you should abstain from alcohol and eat vegetarian." Otherwise, if you indulge in lust, you will not raise it after a year, and you will die after three years. ”

There was a dead silence in the room, Guo Qing's face was even purple, like an eggplant, and he scolded, "I don't understand what you're talking nonsense!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to let the two quarrel, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to persuade.

"Come, drink, drink."

"Yes, the weather is good, in a few days, the spring flowers will bloom, let's go out."

The atmosphere finally got better, but Guo Qing didn't say a word, and Old Man Zhang also left the table to find a chair to sit on, disdainful of participating in the wine table.

Jiayin climbed down from the chair, climbed onto the old man's knees, and smiled and stuffed a piece of osmanthus candy into the old man's mouth, coaxing him to smile.

"It's still our good girl, good boy!"

Jiayin smiled and showed a mouthful of small white teeth, festive and cute.

After such a distraction, Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen were afraid that Dr. Zhang would leave in a fit of anger, so after a few hasty bites, they withdrew the banquet and replaced the tea and snacks.

Mr. Guo also felt that his nephew was reckless today and lost face, so he thought about saying goodbye early.

But Old Man Liu suddenly changed his words, "Brother Guo, I heard that your children and grandchildren are still living in Jiangbei, and now there is news?" ”

Mr. Guo's face suddenly fell lonely, and he shook his head and sighed.

"There has been no news, the barbarians are close at hand, and I can't send anyone to look for them, and I am anxious every day like frying, so I have only been seriously ill before. If it weren't for the fact that I have a little grandson to raise him, I'm afraid I would... I can't hold on anymore. ”

Guo Qing hurriedly responded, "Uncle should relax, once the barbarians retreat, I will immediately lead people across the Jiangbei to find the whereabouts of the eldest brother." ”

Mr. Guo was pleased to hear this, nodded and replied, "When the time comes, you are not a martial artist, you really went to Jiangbei, I still have to worry about you." ”

Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen glanced at each other, and Mr. Wen said, "Mountain Chief, please look at this jade pendant, do you know it?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it over.

Mr. Guo took the jade pendant with a puzzled face, took a closer look, and stood up excitedly.

"Where did you find this? This is my son's jade pendant, his favorite piece! ”
