Chapter 17: The Evil Disease
In terms of beauty, Zhan Xinglan threw off Xi Li'er more than a dozen streets, not to mention Zhan Xinglan with pear blossoms and rain.
Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to her.
"The little girl originally wanted to come to see the elegant collection that gathered literati and artists, but she never thought that her brother would be charged with bullying women, all of which are the fault of the little woman, if you want to blame me, blame me."
Zhan Xinglan's watery apricot eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
The translucent and fair cheeks crossed the beaded tears, which was extremely aggrieved.
Chang Huaizhou asked with a confused expression: "Who is this?" ”
"The little woman is the sister of the shameless person in Lang Jun's mouth. Just now Mrs. Xi suddenly stepped forward and pulled the little woman, but the little woman and Mrs. Xi were not familiar with each other at all, and the eldest brother saw that I was afraid of being in a hurry and blocked it, and I didn't want Sister Xi to be so weak. ”
Zhan Xinglan cried and cried and said what had just happened.
"In this way, it's no wonder that Zhan Dalangjun is there."
Ye Yunyu, who was standing in the hall, spoke.
Hearing this, the people present also felt reasonable, so they casually agreed.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xi Li'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chang Huaizhou's arm.
"Chang Langjun, it's really not Zhan Dalangjun's fault, don't misunderstand good people."
Chang Huaizhou's face was a little unbearable, and he bowed to Zhan Nanjing.
"Today is Xiaosheng reckless, and I misunderstood Zhan Dalangjun."
Zhan Nanjing disdains to say much to him, this kind of person is still good to stay away.
"It doesn't matter."
"My brother's reputation is almost ruined, can Chang Langjun be reckless and reckless? Fang Cai also accused his father of dereliction of duty and scolded his brother for being a disgrace to the Ming State Mansion. Chang Langjun is also a scholar, but he insults others indiscriminately for a woman, which really shows the little woman what a scholar is. ”
Zhan Xinglan's words were soft, but his sentences were like knives.
Which of the people present was not a scholar, and as soon as they heard this, they immediately pointed the finger at Chang Huaizhou.
How can the integrity and reputation of a scholar be ruined in the hands of such a person.
"Chang Langjun, in the future, you should not set foot in this Gantang Yaji again."
"Yes, this place is not for Chang Langjun to mess around."
"If Chang Langjun admires a lady, just come to the door to propose marriage, why bother to come here under the guise of a scholar to save the beauty."
Everyone, you say a word to me.
Chang Huaizhou was extremely embarrassed, and his face was also embarrassed.
"In this case, Xiaosheng will not come."
He rushed out of Gantang Xuan, and he didn't even glance at Xi Li'er before leaving.
"Thank you for speaking up."
Zhan Xinglan wiped away her tears and bowed slightly to everyone.
Xi Li'er's face was also embarrassed, but she still maintained the most basic smile.
"Sister Xi, are you injured somewhere, why don't you let me take a look? Although I am not talented, I have a little bit of medical skills, and I will ask the maidservant to write you a prescription later, which will be good for your injuries. ”
Zhan Xinglan stepped forward and looked at Xi Li'er with concern.
"Don't bother Zhan San Niang, I'd better go to the hospital and have a look."
Xi Li'er hastily ended the topic and left Gan Tangxuan.
failed to act, she never left, and Zhan Xinglan was the next person to deal with her.
Zhan Xinglan looked at her figure in a hurry and made a calculation in her heart.
There are only two possibilities for this Xi Li'er to suddenly attack.
Or, she wants to take this opportunity to ruin the future of her eldest brother, the Zhan family has one less person to enter the office, and the reputation is also ruined, and the prince will not want to tie up the Zhan family with marriage, and the princess will still be her Xi Li'er at that time.
Either she heard the conversation between herself and her eldest brother and wanted to stop her eldest brother from being with Ye Yunyu.
If the Ming Mansion marries the Jingzhao Mansion, the power will be even greater.
Then the prince even less looks down on the daughter of the prince Xian Ma.
Xi Li'er is really scheming.
said that she supported Fu Tingxuan, but in her heart she was only planning for herself.
Everyone dispersed, and Gan Tang Xuan returned to normal.
Ye Yunyu glanced at Zhan Nanjing, who was also about to return to the second floor.
"Ye Niangzi stays!"
Zhan Nanjing called out to Ye Yunyu.
"Is there something wrong with Zhan Dalangjun?"
"Thank you Ye Niangzi for speaking up."
"It's the one who is often obsessed with the boat, and Zhan Da Langjun doesn't have to be polite."
Ye Yunyu bowed slightly, and prepared to leave.
"This is Sister Ye, I often hear my eldest brother talk about Sister Ye, and when I see it today, I really look like a fairy who came out of a painting."
Zhan Xinglan stepped forward and said with a smile.
To be honest, Ye Yunyu is indeed beautiful.
A pair of slender eyes like willow leaves, and brown eyes are round and bright.
Thin lips are vermilion even if they don't have rouge.
She is definitely the most cold woman Zhan Xinglan has ever seen.
"Zhan San Lady has won the award, and in terms of appearance, Zhan San Niangzi is more outstanding."
is also a compliment to others, from Xi Li'er's mouth came out of the yin and yang weirdness, but from Ye Yunyu's mouth it was like a spring breeze.
"It's almost noon, why don't we treat Sister Ye to a light meal, and we should thank Sister Ye."
Zhan Xinglan originally wanted to go upstairs to approach Ye Yunyu on the pretext of learning the guqin.
didn't expect Xi Li'er to make such a fuss, but it saved Zhan Xinglan a lot of trouble.
"It's just a casual remark, and you don't have to break the bank."
Ye Yunyu saw that Zhan Xinglan was so smart and playful, and she liked her very much.
But how could Zhan Xinglan miss this good opportunity.
"Sister Ye should just talk and eat with friends, I know there is an excellent restaurant in the West Market, let's go."
Zhan Xinglan stretched out his hand towards Ye Yunyu.
Ye Yunyu was stunned for a moment, and then put his hand up.
Friendship between girls is often as simple as that, and an intimate act can quickly bring the two people closer.
The three of them each rode in a carriage to the door of a restaurant.
Although it was not yet noon, there were already many diners sitting in the restaurant.
Zhan Xinglan took Ye Yunyu's hand and walked into the restaurant, and immediately a little servant stepped forward to greet him.
"Little brother, is there any room between the clouds on the second floor?"
"It's empty, it's empty, and the little one will take three of them up."
The servant led them to the middle room on the second floor.
As soon as Zhan Xinglan sat down, he said to the little guy: "Little brother, bring all the good spicy food you have here." ”
"Gotcha."
Ye Yunyu looked at her in surprise.
After the little guy retreated, Ye Yunyu asked the doubts in his heart.
"Most people in the capital don't like the smell of pepper, but I didn't expect Zhan San Niangzi to appreciate it."
"Actually, I ordered the dishes according to Sister Ye's preferences."
"How do you know I love spicy food?"
"When I was in Gantang Xuan, I knew that Sister Ye had been drinking water. People who like to eat pepper often have a dry mouth and dry tongue, and they are prone to fire accumulation in their bodies, and if they don't drink too much water, they will have symptoms of sore teeth and throat. ”
Zhan Xinglan said that the head is the Tao.
stunned Zhan Nanjing and Ye Yunyu.
"I didn't expect that Zhan San Niangzi was so young that she knew the way of medicine."
"It's just a little bit of understanding, and there's one more thing I don't know if to say."
Zhan Xinglan looked at Ye Yunyu with difficulty.
"Zhan San Niangzi might as well say it directly."
"Sister Ye's family can have people who are seriously ill and can't afford to live by taking bitter medicine ginseng soup all year round."
When Ye Yunyu heard this, she chuckled in her heart.
"Yes."
"No wonder Sister Ye has a faint smell of medicine on her body, if my guess is right, the seriously ill person in Sister Ye's family must be Sister Ye's closest relative, otherwise Sister Ye's eyebrows will not be clouded."
After Ye Yunyu heard this, her eyes became bitter and melancholy.
"All of them made Zhan Sanniang guess right, my mother was bedridden all the year round, and invited countless doctors to treat my mother's illness to no avail, and even the imperial doctor in the palace said that my mother's life was short."
Zhan Nanjing looked at her like this, and felt very uncomfortable.
"No wonder Ye Niangzi is depressed, it turns out that it is because of Ling Tang's illness."
"If Sister Ye can trust me, you might as well let me go and take a look for Lingtang."
Zhan Xinglan took advantage of the situation and said.
Ye Yunyu hesitated slightly, but when she saw Zhan Xinglan's clear eyes, she had no reason to trust.
"Then there will be the third lady of Lao Zhan."
Two days later, Li Qingchen sent a mahogany wooden box to the Ming State Mansion.
Although he couldn't understand the drawings drawn by Zhan Xinglan, as long as Zhan Xinglan wanted it, he must make it for her.
Zhan Xinglan opened the mahogany wooden box, and inside was all kinds of short knives.
It's not comparable to a scalpel, but it's barely enough.
"Lan'er, when will you know how to heal? Are you sure? ”
Zhan Nanjing looked at the dazzling array of short weapons and asked in confusion.
"If the eldest brother doesn't believe me, then I won't go to Yefu today."
Zhan Xinglan said that he was about to close the box.
"Believe in faith, for my brother, I believe in you."
"I'll go to Ye Mansion later, the eldest brother has only one task."
"What?"
"Of course, it is to appease Sister Ye, Sister Ye must be very sad and anxious when she sees her mother struggling on the sickbed, if she can have a shoulder at this time, Sister Ye will definitely feel better."
Zhan Xinglan said with a grin.
Zhan Nanjing looked at her helplessly and dotingly.
"You, you, Mobei is right, you are a cunning little fox."
In the corner, the carriage of the Ming Mansion stopped in front of the Ye Mansion.
As soon as Ye Yunyu saw them, he immediately greeted them.
"You are here, come with me."
The two followed Ye Yunyu through the front hall and came all the way to the side courtyard.
It stands to reason that the wives of high-ranking families are all sitting firmly in the main courtyard of the house.
But Ye's mother lives in this remote and narrow courtyard, which is really unreasonable.
"Please put this on and go in."
Ye Yunyu took the two veils from the handmaid behind her and handed them to the two.
"What does that mean?"
"My mother is seriously ill, and everyone in her close care is infected, and this disease is so severe that if you don't wear a veil to cover your mouth and nose, you will be like your mother."
Zhan Xinglan and Zhan Nanjing glanced at each other, took the veil and put it on their faces.
The three of them put on their veils and walked into the courtyard, a desolate scene.
Even if it's a concubine, you shouldn't live in this kind of place.
Stepping into the main house, there were only three or two old women serving Mother Ye.
The interior of the house was overhanging, with only a few shabby and moldy mahogany furniture.
When the old woman saw Ye Yunyu coming, she respectfully retreated.
"Ahem, ahem."
A gruntling cough came from the heavy tent.
"A-Niang, I brought a friend to treat you."
"Yu'er, A-Niang has already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, so don't worry about A-Niang anymore."
Every time the person in the tent said a word, he felt weak, as if he was going to die in the next second.
"A-Niang is not allowed to say such frustrating words again."
Ye Yunyu's eyes were slightly red, and she tried her best to suppress her sadness.
"Okay, A-Niang doesn't talk nonsense."
The man in the tent choked up, and silently stretched out his withered arms through the cracks in the tent.
Looking like that, it must have been countless times to stretch out your hand to let people take the pulse.
Zhan Xinglan took out the pulse pillow from the medicine box and put Ye Mu's wrist on it.
During the pulse check, the coughing sound in the tent was rapid and long, and listening to it made people feel like they couldn't breathe.
After cutting the pulse, Zhan Xinglan put Ye Mu's hand back into the tent.
Ye Yunyu folded her hands on the side, looking at Zhan Xinglan nervously and eagerly.
"What is my mother's condition?"
Zhan Xinglan groaned slightly, and said:
"In my opinion, Ling Tang is suffering from tuberculosis."
