Chapter 25 Meng Lao Guogong
The porter stretched out his head to look at Jiang Yixi and the others, and said, "Please wait." β
Half an hour later, the porter came back with a much more enthusiastic attitude.
"The old man invited Miss Jiang in."
Jiang Yixi's master and servant were taken to a courtyard, more precisely a garden.
The garden is planted with a variety of flowers and greenery, some on the ground and some in pots. An old man in his sixties was busy, with mud on his hands.
The old man straightened up, clapped his hands and smiled, "Little Miss Jiang is here." β
The voice is loud.
Meng Lao Guogong is tall, with a gray beard covering half of his face, wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows flying obliquely into his sideburns, and his eyes are like copper bells, not angry and arrogant. Beneath the mighty skin, there is a kind and generous heart.
Seeing him, Jiang Yixi's eyes turned red, and he unconsciously felt close. I only saw him twice in my previous life, and as long as he was an old man, others would not dare to bully her.
In Jiang Yixi's heart, Meng Laoguo is the best elder for her besides her father.
Jiang Yi bowed his knees and said with a smile, "The younger generation regrets seeing Meng Laoguogong. "I looked around again, "The flowers are clustered, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the green mountains are far away, and the streams are surrounded, which is really like a fairyland." β
Meng Laoguogong's eyes were crooked, he glanced Jiang Yixi up and down, and asked, "Like here?" β
"I like it very much." Jiang Yixi said sincerely.
The old man was even happier, "I will often come to play in the future, and I can talk more with the old man." In the future, call me Grandfather Meng, and you will not be unfamiliar. β
"Grandfather Meng."
"Huh."
Meng Lao Guogong happily agreed and took Jiang Yi to visit the garden.
There are many orchids and orchids here, but there are also peonies, chrysanthemums, peonies, yueji and other flowers, most of which are famous products, and there are many treasures. Peonies and other flowers are blooming brightly, and the garden is full of purple and red, fragrant and fragrant.
There is also a kind of flower that Jiang Yixi has never seen, the vine man climbed half a zhang high, purple red, blooming layer upon layer, extremely beautiful.
Jiang Yixi walked closer and said, "Ah, it's beautiful." What kind of flower is this? β
"The triangle flower was bought and given to me by my old subordinate Zheng Ji from Fanren. I have been carefully tending for more than a year to bloom so luxuriantly. If the little girl likes it, I'll divide it for you. However, this flower is afraid of cold and light, and it should be moved to a warm house at the end of autumn, and it should be sunny......"
Jiang Yixi likes flowers, and he also likes flowers that bloom brilliantly and luxuriantly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandfather Meng, I will laugh." β
The old man laughed loudly, "Little girl, I'll let someone divide the plants for you, and then go to your Zhuangzi to teach you to serve." β
He pointed to a pot of Junzi Orchid and said, "This is the Pearl King, the flowers are big and gorgeous, and Liu Lao Pifu wants to buy it for 5,000 taels of silver, but I am not willing to sell it." If you like, come and enjoy it when it's time to bloom. β
Jiang Yixi happily accepted the invitation, "It's blooming, Grandfather Meng, don't forget to inform me." β
The two talked about flowers and praised each other a few words. Jiang Yi praised the old man for being old and strong, having both civil and military skills, and loving elegance. The old man praised Jiang for being a hero, not pretentious, generous and polite.
After a turn in the garden, the two of them were already very familiar with each other.
In his previous life, Jiang Yixi didn't even dare to say more to the old man, but in this life, he knew that the old man was so approachable.
Now it is late spring, and after walking down, sweat beads have already appeared on the tip of Jiang Yixi's forehead and nose, and he wipes it with a handkerchief from time to time.
The old man didn't want her to sit in the garden anymoreβit was hot, so he took her to the study in the outer courtyard.
The outer study is a courtyard house, and dozens of bird cages are hung under the corridor, and the birds chirp happily and happily, and the sound is particularly loud, like entering the mountain forest.
The old man not only loved flowers, but also birds.
A handsome little guy stepped forward and smiled, "Old man, that wild cat is here to eat again." β
The old man asked, "Have you fed the little fish left for it?" β
The little guy laughed, "Look, it's eating." β
In the corner of the wall, a raccoon cat was eating fish, looked up at them, and lowered his head to continue eating fish.
Jiang Yixi laughed, this cat was very similar to the raccoon cat she met in Zhaoming Nunnery that day.
Entering the house and sitting down, the next person served tea.
Jiang Yi took a sip, looked at the people on both sides, and stopped talking.
The old man asked, "Is there something wrong with the little girl?" β
Jiang Yixi nodded.
The old man waved his hand, and everyone in the Meng family retreated. Mama Wu glanced at Jiang Yixi, and also pulled Shui Ling to retreat.
Jiang Yixi asked, "May I ask Grandfather Meng, how is Meng Shizi's eyes cured?" β
The old man was upset when he thought about it, "Alas, since I returned to Beijing, it has been more than a year, and I have been cured by a famous doctor." Poor resignation, but his ability is about to be delayed by his eyes. β
Jiang Yixi asked, "Those doctors are all treated according to eye diseases?" β
The old man said, "Cimo's illness is originally the eyes, of course, it is treated according to the eye disease. However, some people suggested that it might be caused by a head injury, but the vast majority of imperial doctors and doctors did not agree with this statement, and the person who proposed it did not have a good treatment. β
Jiang Yixi asked again, "Was Meng Shizi's eyes hurt by a hard object?" β
Of course she knew no, she asked on purpose.
The old man shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to hurt my eyes, but I only broke my head." But the head is fine, but the eyes can't see. β
Jiang Yi said with regret, "That's it." The root of the disease is in the brain, and it must have been blood that fell out of the brain during the wrestling, and the blood clot pressed the meridians connecting the eyes, causing the eyes to not see. β
The old man was stunned, "How do you know?" β
Jiang Yi said regretfully, "It's my master who said it." I told him about Meng Shizi's symptoms, and he said so. β
The old man hurriedly said, "Immediately ask your master to come and treat Cimo." β
Jiang Yi said regretfully, "He's gone." I also begged him at that time, but he was unwilling to give Meng Shizi governance. β
The old man was disappointed and puzzled, "Our Meng family has offended him?" β
Jiang Yixi shook his head and said, "No, there is another reason for his death. β
The old man asked again, "What is your master's name, and why didn't he treat Cimo?" β
Jiang Yi regretted, "He said that he once swore a poisonous oath not to treat the officials and family members of the Jin and Dynasty dynasties. Don't let me say what his last name is, and you can't say that you studied medicine with him. β
Meng Laoguogong's eyes bulged with copper bells, and his face turned red with excitement, "Is that person's surname Shen?" Only Old Guy Shen has made this oath. I sent people everywhere to inquire about him, but I never thought that we didn't know about coming to the capital. β
Jiang Yixi smiled, "The surname Shen was guessed by Grandfather Meng, I didn't say it." Although my master is gone, he has taught me how to heal my illness."
The old man was a little suspicious, "Will you cure the eyes of Cimo?" β
Jiang Yixi didn't dare to say enough, "I have learned, but I have never treated anyone, and I don't know if I can cure it well." β
Meng Lao Guogong asked again, "How long have you been studying?" β
Jiang Yi replied crisply, "Twenty-one days." β
