Mama Zhang and Yurong lived in the next room with Ping'an, Mei Xue changed into the men's clothes worn by the attendants, and sat in front of the window to write a prescription for Ping'an after washing.

The boat was still moving forward, but the rain gradually faded, and it was pounding on the portholes.

Xiao Yan walked to the door with hot tea, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the woman inside.

Because the clothes were too loose, it became more and more obvious that the wearer was thinner.

But under the dim candlelight, the snow-white woman is still cold and attractive.

Just like after a summer rainstorm, the white lotus is covered with water droplets, trembling in the wind, which is pitiful but reluctant to touch.

The woman in front of her looked like a person, but Xiao Yan couldn't remember who she looked like for a while.

Mei Xue glanced up at Xiao Yan, did not speak, lowered her head and continued to write.

Xiao Yan touched his nose, sat down opposite Mei Xue and poured her a cup of hot tea, and then said tentatively:

"Miss Mei, don't mind, although Shen Qingyang is notorious, he is not really bad, he threatens you, he just wants to scare you, he will never do anything out of the ordinary, I will definitely protect you."

Mei Xue smiled faintly, sorted out the several recipes she had written, and then looked at Xiao Yan calmly and said:

"Thank you Xiao Gongzi for your kindness, Shen Gongzi didn't threaten me, he just happened to know a relative of my mother, and said that as long as I was willing to go to Chengdu, he would tell me the address of that relative later."

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then said hatefully:

"It turns out that it's just such a thing, Shen Qingyang, this guy is really not authentic, and I have been worried for several days."

Mei Xue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and a trace of coldness slipped under her eyes.

Perhaps it was because his mood was relaxed, Xiao Yan's words became more, he poured himself a cup of tea, and said to himself while drinking:

"Miss Mei, don't worry about going to Chengdu, my cousin has a very good temper, he has never been angry with anyone, and many old doctors have said that if he didn't have this good temper and never get angry, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive today."

Seeing that Mei Xue turned her face to look at herself, as if she was a little interested, Xiao Yan became more energetic, and continued in a rambling voice:

"The previous Princess of Shu was my aunt, who gave birth to my cousin and died of illness in childbirth, and passed away not long after.

Although my uncle was not loved by the first emperor, the first emperor loved my cousin very much, so my cousin almost grew up in the palace.

My grandmother said that after his birthday party when he was five years old, my cousin suddenly became ill, coughing up and fever intermittently, so much so that he has now become tuberculosis.

Later, the first emperor was seriously ill, and before he died, he ordered several sons to become vassals. Because my cousin is not in good health, my uncle came to Chengdu after another two years.

People say that Your Majesty is benevolent and treats my cousin, a nephew, very kindly. ”

As if remembering something again, Xiao Yan shook the cup in his hand and said:

"At that time, my grandmother felt sorry for my cousin's frail and sick, and was afraid that the women in the palace would calculate him, so she wanted to marry another daughter of the Xiao family to take care of her cousin in the palace.

But there were no girls of the right age in the family, so my grandmother went to the queen mother and sent one of my aunt's concubines to the palace.

My uncle didn't like the princess before, but she was very good to her cousin, even her own mother couldn't be like her, so now my uncle respects her. ”

Mei Xue seemed to be only interested in Li Jinzhi's condition, and when she heard this, she changed the topic and asked:

"Those who took care of your cousin closely, or those who had access to your cousin in the palace or in the capital, have anyone ever had tuberculosis? Or there is such a patient in the family. ”

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while, but finally shook his head and said:

"I don't remember such a person, my cousin was raised in the palace when he was a child, and the people around him were carefully selected.

Later, when he fell ill, his aunt loved him very much, so naturally she would not let people with illness touch him. ”

Mei Xue nodded, turned her eyes to look at the dark night sky outside the window and said:

"In that case, we will wait until we get to Chengdu, and if he is not tuberculosis, I will definitely do my best to heal him."

Xiao Yan hurriedly got up and saluted Mei Xue, and said gratefully:

"Miss Mei, whether you can cure my cousin's illness or not, I, Xiao Yan, will always remember your kindness."

Mei Xue got up and returned the salute, but she didn't say anything more.

Xiao Yan walked out of the room and couldn't help but look back again.

The night rain is dashing, the candlelight is dim, and the woman sitting under the lamp is as quiet as a beautiful woman in an ink painting.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered what his cousin Li Jinzhi looked like when he was studying in the study of the palace.

After dawn, Mei Xue followed Xiao Yan off the boat, and Shen Qingyang was already waiting at the dock with people.

It was just over an hour after they landed, and he arranged everything.

arranged for Mama Zhang and Yurong to be two mothers-in-law as helpers on the boat, found an old doctor to follow and take care of Ping'an, and left a few attendants to be responsible for purchasing and guarding.

And also arranged a nurse to follow and feed all the way.

Yurong couldn't stop crying, Mama Zhang hugged Ping'an, and looked at Mei Xue with red eyes.

Mei Xue lowered her head, gently touched Ping'an's little face, and then jumped on the horse without saying a word.

After the rain, the sun was dazzling.

The girl in green clothes and green shoes galloped in the bright spring light, stunned the group of people behind her.

Shen Qingyang glanced at Xiao Yan and sneered:

"With her ability, do you think you can really bring her to Chengdu if you don't grasp her weakness?"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, he originally proposed to arrange a docile pony for Mei Xue, and even thought that it was really not possible, he could teach Mei Xue to ride a horse first.

More than a dozen horses galloped on the official road, Mei Xue did not fall into the wind from beginning to end, and rested in the tea shed on the side of the road at noon, Xiao Yan diligently poured tea for Mei Xue, and said with a smile:

"It's hard work for Miss Mei to travel like this."

Mei Xue shook her head, did not speak, and only quietly began to eat.

In the small shop in the countryside, there are only simple white porridge, cooking cakes and two side dishes, Shen Qingyang and the attendants all eat the jerky brought in their luggage, and Mei Xue only drinks porridge and occasionally sandwiches two green vegetables.

While eating, there was a sudden commotion in the tea shed, and it was a child who was eating and suddenly fell ill.

When he was only five or six years old, he suddenly had a rash that soon spread all over his face.

The child cried and scratched his face, and the child's father was anxious and angry, accusing the owner of poisoning their meal.

The shopkeeper jumped to his feet in anger, and the two sides quarreled.

Shen Qingyang frowned, snorted and slammed the teacup on the table.

The teashed fell silent in an instant, and neither the shopkeeper nor the child's father dared to speak anymore, except for the child who cried incessantly.

The child's face was covered in blood.

Xiao Yan looked at the crying child and went to see Mei Xue again, but he didn't dare to speak.

Mei Xue was still eating quietly, and when the porridge in the bowl was finished, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers.

Shen Qingyang looked at Mei Xue coldly, and his disdain was overflowing.

The doctor is benevolent, but this woman is hard-hearted, and I don't know how much of her reputation as a miracle doctor is true.

Mei Xue didn't even glance at Shen Qingyang, and stood up after tucking the handkerchief back into her sleeve.

Seeing Mei Xue walking towards the crying child, Xiao Yan hurriedly followed, protecting Mei Xue and shouting:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the doctor take a look at the child first."

Most of the people who watched the excitement were surprised, the woman in front of her looked very young, I was afraid that she didn't even have a pipe, could she cure the disease?

The shopkeeper seemed to see a savior, and was busy shouting at Mei Xue, saying that the food in his store must be fine, the big guys are eating, why are everyone else fine?

The middle-aged man who was the father held the child in his arms, so anxious that he was sweating.

Mei Xue looked at the child's face carefully, then reached out and lifted the child's sleeves and trousers to look at it, then pointed to the half bowl of chicken on the table and asked:

"Is this made of fresh bamboo chicken? Where did you get the bamboo chicken? ”

The shopkeeper seemed to see hope, and replied hurriedly:

"Girl, have you seen that in addition to porridge and cooking cakes, there are only two kinds of vegetarian vegetables in my shop. This bowl of meat is indeed bamboo chicken, but it was brought by their father and son, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

The child's father was also anxious, and said angrily at Mei Xue:

"Are you a little girl, going to see a doctor? This bamboo chicken was caught by me an hour ago, just at the foot of the mountain over there, it couldn't be fresher, and I said that I would give him five copper plates to make it, how could it be a problem with the chicken? ”

Xiao Yan was instantly unhappy, shook his hand and slapped the middle-aged man, and scolded:

"If you dare to be rude to Miss Mei again, I will let someone break your leg now."

Seeing that Xiao Yan and the others were all dressed in brocade clothes, and the attendants were all carrying swords, the child's father was afraid, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and only hugged the child so anxiously that he shed tears.

Mei Xue didn't seem to care, and turned her face to ask the shopkeeper:

"Uncle, you are doing business here, do you know if there are herbs growing on the mountain in front of you? Especially Banxia. ”

The shopkeeper immediately replied:

"Yes, there must be, there are people in our village who go to the mountain to collect medicine and sell it for money, as for the Banxia that the girl said, I only know that it is a kind of medicinal material, but there must be, the pharmacy in the town will come to our village to buy it, and my daughter-in-law sold a lot the day before yesterday."

Mei Xue smiled faintly after hearing this, and said to the shopkeeper:

"Now is the peak season for mid-summer growth, and bamboo chickens like to eat half-summer, this child must be allergic to fresh bamboo chickens after eating too much.

Uncle, you can just ask someone to make a bowl of thick ginger juice for this kid to drink, it's not a big deal, don't worry. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, a little incomprehensible, but he still ran to get busy.

Xiao Yan also paused for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Mei Xue:

"Miss Mei, isn't Banxia medicine, and it's all eaten by bamboo chickens, how can it still make people ...... What about allergies?

Oh, by the way, Miss May, what do allergies mean? ”

Mei Xue smiled, walked back to her seat and sat down, and said:

"The so-called allergy can also be described as mild poisoning. Banxia is a good medicine, but for people who are not suitable, it may be highly poisonous.

This kid just ate bamboo chicken, if he eats Banxia directly, he will die if he can't be saved in half an hour. ”

Xiao Yan was surprised, and while pouring tea for Mei Xue, he looked back at the child who was still crying.

The shopkeeper quickly brought out half a bowl of ginger juice, pinched the child's nose and poured it in, and with half a pillar of incense, the rash on the child's face began to subside.

By the time Mei Xue finished drinking a cup of tea, the child had stopped crying, and the red rash on his face had receded, leaving only some scratched blood marks.

The child's father was grateful, knelt down to kowtow to Mei Xue, and apologized again and again for his recklessness just now.

Mei Xue helped him up, but said lightly:

"This child should be allergic, not only in the future, but also in the future, as long as it is something that has not been eaten or drunk in ordinary times, the first time he eats it, he must try it in small quantities first, and he can eat it with confidence if there is no problem."

The middle-aged man nodded again and again, and the shopkeeper was also happy, resolutely refusing to accept the tea and dinner money from Mei Xue and his party, and said gratefully:

"This is a piece of my heart, and the girl must not refuse.

Today's strange thing, if it weren't for meeting the girl, I really can't tell it. ”

Xiao Yan smiled happily, and rushed to accept the shopkeeper's kindness for Mei Xue.

Shen Qingyang had been sitting expressionlessly, and he still didn't speak at this time, and when he saw that the matter was over, he got up and walked out.

Mei Xue still ignored Shen Qingyang and galloped forward on her horse.

Xiao Yan was still excited, and chased after Shen Qingyang and said:

"You see what I said is right, this Miss Mei has real skills, don't keep a black face, scare Miss Mei, I'm not done with you."

Shen Qingyang snorted, he disdained to ignore Xiao Yan, and urged the horse forward.

But when he looked at the cyan figure in front of him, his expression was still a little softened.

He has always been impatient with delicate and pretentious women, but Mei Xue did not dislike him at this point, and it can even be said that Mei Xue's crispness and neatness are better than many men.
