Chapter 6: The Sickness of Madness (3)
Zizhuyi stayed by Wang Shuqiu's side untirelessly until she woke up. Zizhu happily helped Wang Shuqiu sit up, only to see her eyes straight and muttered, "Where am I?" Zizhu comforted: "Master, don't be afraid! We are out of the jaws. Wang Shuqiu's face was expressionless, just muttering again, as for what he said, Zizhu couldn't hear it clearly.
Zizhu felt that Wang Shuqiu was a little strange, and hurriedly called Shen Xiluo and the others over. I saw that Wang Shuqiu's eyes were blank, and the corners of her mouth began to salivate without realizing it. Shen Xiluo said: "I'll call the doctor." Zizhu said with tears in her eyes: "Could it be that the master is crazy!" Yang Tear was also crying beside him.
The doctor has come, checked Wang Shuqiu's pulse, looked at her eyes again, looked at her tongue again, stroked his beard and said: ""The Book of Difficulties: Twenty Difficulties" has a cloud: 'Those who are heavy yang are crazy, and those who are heavy yin are crazy. Cui Wuyuan said loudly: "Who told you to endorse here!" The doctor smiled and said, "The girl has a madness." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Zizhu said: "My master has always been well, how can he get madness?" The doctor said, "Your master must be angry and frightened, damaging his liver and kidneys." The so-called 'madness is depressed by the seven emotions, so it produces phlegm and salivation, and the mind is confused'. ”
Zizhu hurriedly said: "Doctor, can my master be cured!" The doctor muttered: "What the girl gets is a mad disease, which is characterized by mental depression, silent dementia, incoherent speech, quiet and sad, etc., if you want to treat this disease, it is advisable to soothe the liver and regulate qi, dissolve phlegm and open the body, nourish the blood and calm the nerves, and nourish the heart and spleen. I will prescribe a prescription, and you will take the medicine according to the prescription, as for whether it can be cured, there is really no absolute certainty, it depends on her creation. ”
After the doctor left, Shen Xiluo went to grab the medicine. But for several days, Wang Shuqiu's condition did not improve. The crowd was a little helpless. Shen Xiluo said: "The famous doctor here has been visited, why don't we go, maybe we can meet the real miracle doctor on the way, isn't it the master's creation." Others agreed.
On this day, I came to Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Compared with other places, there are many fewer displaced refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere. Coincidentally, several inns were full, and everyone had to find another more remote place.
Although the inn is not big, there are very few people who come to stay, and the wing room is just right. Zizhu helped the demented Wang Shuqiu and slowly walked into the inn. Shen Xiluo said: "You eat first, I'll go up and take a look at the room." ”
Zizhu helped Wang Shuqiu sit down. The corners of her mouth drooled again, and Zizhu hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief. Yang tearfully said: "Just have some side dishes, be fast!" The shopkeeper left in response. The riders also sat in dispersion, shouting for food.
Suddenly, Wang Shuqiu's "sneering" smile startled Zizhu and Yang Tears. I saw her smirking stupidly, her eyes staring straight ahead. The two of them looked over and saw a young man sitting at the table opposite Wang Shuqiu grimacing, making her giggle.
Zizhu slapped the table and shouted at the young man, "Hey! What are you doing with a grimace? The young man immediately returned to his original state, stuck out his tongue, and said, "If you don't do it, you won't do it, what's the big deal!" Wang Shuqiu cried "wow", and Zizhu glared at the young man while caring for her.
The young man came over with a wine jug and asked, "In Xia Peng Xuan, can you sit down?" Yang tearfully said: "There is no place for scoundrels to sit. Peng Xuan smiled and said, "What if I can cure this girl's madness!" Zizhu and Yang Tear said in unison: "Really? Peng Xuan sat down laughing, poured himself a cup and drank, and said, "Is it still fake?" ”
Zizhu looked at Peng Xuan and saw that he was wearing a shabby blue robe, a soft scarf on his head, about twenty-five or sixteen, some beards, and a dissolute appearance. Zizhu was afraid that this person was a frivolous person, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Are you a doctor?" Peng Xuan said: "No! Zizhu said: "How can you cure my young lady's illness?" Peng Xuan smiled but did not answer.
Wang Shuqiu stretched out her hand and shouted, "I want to drink!" Peng Xuan said: "You can also drink?" "Wang Shuqiu just wants to drink. Peng Xuan poured a glass of wine and handed it over. Wang Shuqiu took it and took a bite. After drinking, I want to.
Peng Xuan said: "Okay! Then he handed over the whole pot of wine. Zizhu stopped and said, "Hey! Are you saving or harming? Peng Xuan said: "Drinking a little wine is still curative of the condition, what do you know!" Zizhu said: "This is a little bit!" Peng Xuan said: "You maid is really verbose, if you don't want your young lady's illness to be cured, just shut up if you want to." ”
Zizhu saw that he was confident, but he was afraid of some means, so he didn't say more. Wang Shuqiu took the flask, drank it with a grunt, and shouted, "I still want to drink!" ”
Peng Xuan said: "Your young lady's condition is not too serious, at least she can still drink." Zizhu and Yang Tear glanced at each other and said, "Son, if you can cure our young lady, you must be rewarded." Peng Xuan said: "It is easy to cure this disease, but I have a request." ”
"What requirements?" Shen Xiluo walked quickly. Peng Xuan said: "Can you be the master below?" Shen Xiluo said: "As long as Your Excellency's request is reasonable, the small one will definitely comply." Peng Xuan said: "I see that you are not ordinary eunuchs, and it is too vulgar to take money." Well, let me join you and give you some money every month. What do you think? ”
Shen Xiluo said: "Can you really cure our master's illness?" Peng Xuan smiled and nodded. Shen Xiluo said: "Okay! Peng Xuan said again: "In the future, in addition to eating you, living in you, and using yours, I want to talk about it." Shen Xiluo said: "How much do you want?" Peng Xuan stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred taels." ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was taken aback. Peng Xuan said: "What? Can't you get it? That is under the farewell. Shen Xiluo said: "Wait! One hundred taels is one hundred taels. Peng Xuan pointed at Shen Xiluo and said with a smile: "This father-in-law is really bold, a gentleman." Shen Xiluo continued: "It's hard to chase the horse. Peng Xuan waved his hand and said, "Follow me!" Shen Xiluo asked, "Where are you going?" Peng Xuan said: "Save people!" A few people are enough. ”
Cui Wuyuan whispered: "This person's origin is unknown, in case there is fraud!" Shen Xiluo said: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope for the master's illness, you can't give up." I'll just go with Zizhu. Cui Wuyuan was still not at ease, and arranged for four brocade guards to follow.
Peng Xuan walked out of the inn and said, "The distance is not far, it is not close, it is better to have horses." Shen Xiluo said: "This matter is easy. The group left Xuzhou City, walked quickly for a long time, the sky was about to be dark, and they had arrived at a town.
Peng Xuan said: "This place is Feiyue Town, and I live here." As soon as the words fell, a shopkeeper grabbed Peng Xuan's horse head and shouted, "Boy, you still have the face to come back." If you owe us the sake money, pay it back quickly. Peng Xuan said: "Get out of the way, when I finish my work, I will naturally have the money to pay you back." Where was the shopkeeper willing to let go, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a few days, and I don't want to go into town if I don't pay back." ”
"How much money does he owe you?" Shen Xiluo got out of the carriage and walked over. The shopkeeper said, "Twenty taels." Shen Xiluo took out twenty taels of silver from his bag and said, "Take it!" The shopkeeper got the money and left happily.
After entering Feiyue Town, before he had walked a few steps, another aunt appeared, stopped Peng Xuan, and said, "Master Peng, please show mercy and return the money to me!" Great kindness and great virtue are grateful. ”
Peng Xuan said: "Aunt Song, next time!" I will definitely return it next time! Aunt Song said: "You always say next time, how can there be so many next times, no, you must return it to me today." Shen Xiluo had no choice but to pay back the money for him. As a result, along the way, he either owed it or owed it, and Shen Xiluo paid off his debts one by one.
finally arrived at Peng Xuan's residence. Peng Xuan got off the horse, and before he could knock on the door, someone inside opened the door. The man greeted him and said, "Third Senior Brother, where have you been?" Master is angry! Peng Xuan said: "Isn't this coming back!" Why is Master angry? The man said, "It's not that you borrowed money everywhere and provoked neighbors to come to collect debts." Peng Xuan said: "Second senior brother, it's all paid off." ”
The second senior brother pointed to Shen Xiluo and the others behind Peng Xuan, and said, "Who are they?" Peng Xuan said: "I came to seek medical treatment." The second senior brother said, "Third senior brother, have you forgotten Master's words?" It will never be healed unless it is related to it. Peng Xuan said: "They are my friends, please introduce the second senior brother to the master." The second senior brother sighed, "It's still up to the master to decide." ”
Shen Xiluo turned back to the Jinyi guard who came with him and said, "You guys are waiting outside." Then followed. I saw an elder sitting on the Taishi chair, with a red face, as if he was drunk. When Peng Xuan saw this person, he knelt down and said, "Master, the apprentice has caused you trouble again." The elder glared and said, "It's good to know." You! There is still a face to come back! Come back and bring some people who don't care, do you have to be angry with me to feel at ease! ”
Zizhu could hear what the old man said, 'No, No She couldn't help frowning and retorted: "We are innocent people, please speak with respect." ”
The old man was reprimanded by a maid, and shouted angrily: "Dare to shout at the old man's house and don't blow out!" Seeing this, Shen Xiluo hurriedly laughed and said: "The old man is going to be like a little girl, and the little one is making amends." When the elder heard Shen Xiluo's voice, he hurriedly asked, "Are you from the palace?" Shen Xiluo said: "The old man has good eyesight, and the little one is indeed from the palace." I don't know what the old man is called? The old man said with a little joy on his face: "Old man Tang Jiren." ”
Shen Xiluo suddenly felt as if he had heard this name somewhere. He looked at Tang Jiren, remembered it in his mind, and hurriedly smiled: "Isn't the old man the judge of the Tang Yuan of the Tai Hospital?" Tang Jiren laughed and said: "I can't imagine that there are still people who remember the old man for so many years, and he is so reborn." Shen Xiluo smiled: "The small one is to listen to Zhao Gonggong mention it." He gave you a thumbs up as soon as he said you were coming. ”
Tang Jiren seemed to have a good relationship with Zhao Gongbus, and asked, "Is Zhao Gonggong okay?" Shen Xiluo sighed: "Gonggong Zhao died of illness last year. When he was dying, he sighed and said that it would be good if the Tang court sentenced him. ”
Tang Jiren patted the armrest of the chair and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" He stood up, walked to Shen Xiluo's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "For the sake of Gonggong Zhao's face, the old man will help you heal people." Is that her? ”
Tang Jiren paced to Wang Shuqiu's side and looked at her complexion. Shen Xiluo said: "Please also ask the old man to rejuvenate and heal our master." Tang Jiren said: "If you can't heal well to the old man, it's in vain to go elsewhere." The tone was rather conceited.
Tang Jiren looked confident after taking the pulse, and said: "This is a madness caused by phlegm stagnation. As the saying goes, 'those who are heavy yang are crazy, and those who are heavy yin are crazy', yin and yang are out of balance, so the mind is disturbed, and the gods are crazy against the chaos. Fortunately, her illness is not deep, and she only needs to prescribe a prescription to regulate qi and relieve depression, dissolve phlegm and open the body. However, it needs to be recuperated for a while. ”
Zizhu was overjoyed when she heard that Wang Shuqiu could be healed, and said, "Old Man Tang was offended a lot just now, and I hope you Haihan." Tang Jiren said: "I don't know if I'm guilty!" ”
Wang Shuqiu drank a dose of medicine prescribed by Tang Jiren and fell asleep. Shen Xiluo and the others said goodbye to Tang Jiren, and Peng Xuan also told his master. Who knew that Tang Jiren shouted: "If you don't pay off the debts of the neighborhood, you can rest and leave." Peng Xuan said: "Master, the disciples are all paid off." Tang Jiren sneered: "Do you have this ability? ”
Shen Xiluo stepped forward and said, "It's a small order to pay off." Tang Jiren nodded and said, "So that's the case." If you want to go out and be a teacher, you won't stop you, but you are not allowed to be a teacher outside, otherwise you will not be forgiven. Peng Xuan smiled and said, "Remember! ”
Since using the good medicine prescribed by Tang Jiren, Wang Shuqiu has become better and better day by day, and she understands day by day. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Wang Shuqiu was fine. Cui Wuyuan pointed to the front and said, "It's almost time to Yangzhou, everyone work hard!" The crowd could not help but cheer and rejoice.
