Chapter 93: Delivered to the door
On the day of the full moon of the twin emperors, Emperor Mingde ordered an amnesty to the world, and the whole Luoyang seemed to be about to turn the sky upside down.
The plum house in Lilac began to build a pharmacy, and a side door was opened for craftsmen to enter and exit in the morning and evening.
Mei Xue received a post to attend the palace banquet, which was personally delivered to the Mei Mansion by Mama Xie, who was next to the crown princess.
Mama Xie smiled attentively and said to Mei Xue:
"Miss Mei, Niangniang knows that you have never liked to be lively, so she specially sent the old slave here, please be sure to drink a glass of wine."
Mei Xue smiled and nodded, and asked Mama Xie to sit down and drink a cup of tea before asking Jiu'er to send her out of the house.
Glancing at the invitation at the corner of the table, Mei Xue looked away lightly.
She is willing to help Xie Danqin in childbirth, just because she is a woman and a mother.
And she Mei Xue, if she wants Li Mingze to live well, then between her and Xie Danqin, sooner or later there will be a day of life and death struggle.
The paper can't contain the fire, not to mention that Li Mingze, who is not yet a year old, already has the shadow of Li Jinyu between his eyebrows.
The main hall of Cining Palace was once again full of noble ladies and nobles, and the crown princess Xie Danqin sat next to the Empress Dowager Jing'an, showing grace and luxury, no longer the cautious state of last year's palace banquet.
Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle sat down together, she glanced at Xie Danqin lightly, but in a trance, she seemed to see the former Queen Shen.
Feeling that someone was staring at her, Mei Xue slowly turned her face and saw Zhao Qixia's mother, Mrs. Kong.
Although she had never seen her before, Mei Xue was sure that the person staring at her was Zhao Kongshi, because she had an ape-like face that resembled Zhao Qixia.
Well, the face of an older version of an ape.
Ever since Han Yu died, Mei Xue no longer felt that it was rude to see Zhao Qixia as an ape.
Kong Shi originally looked at Mei Xue coldly, with a little faint disgust in his eyes.
But when Mei Xue looked at her, she suddenly smiled gently.
This sharp change in expression made her face distort a little instantly.
Mei Xue just smiled faintly and turned her face away again.
Many people do evil, and there will always be a part of the external force. For example, Xie Danqin, she participated in the matter of forcing Han Yu to death because of Li Jinyu's instructions.
But Kong's mother and daughter are pure evil.
Mei Xue rarely hates a person like she hates Zhao Qixia's mother and daughter.
Until the end of the palace banquet, Mei Xue didn't look in the direction of the Kong family again.
However, when Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle walked out of the main hall together, the Kong clan stopped them in the courtyard.
Although she tried her best to smile kindly, she still couldn't completely hide the mean look between her eyebrows.
After saluting the lord of Changle County, Kong smiled and said to Mei Xue that he wanted to invite her to Zhao's mansion, because her husband Zhao Baorong was sick, and several doctors were invited and said that it was no big deal, but the decoction that she had drunk for a long time was still not good.
After being worthy of being a saint, even if Kong Shi asked for someone, he did not forget to show his identity, and after saying a complicated wording, the lord of Changle laughed angrily and said:
"You are neither an official nor an edict, but Mei Xue is the imperial doctor of the five grades, why do you only salute me, but not her?
Is this the rule of your saints' house? Asking for someone to be so high? ”
Mei Xue smiled and glanced at the county lord of Changle, really wanting to give her a thumbs up.
Kong's face turned red instantly.
The women who passed by saw Kong's red face and red ears, and they saluted Mei Xue under the pressure of the county lord of Changle, so they all looked sideways at Kong.
Mei Xue smiled faintly and directly rejected Kong's words:
"Thank you Madame for looking up to me so much, since so many doctors can't cure Lord Zhao's illness, I am only a shallow learner, so I won't go to your mansion to offer ugliness."
After speaking, Mei Xue turned around and left.
Looking at Kong's face again, she felt like throwing up.
The county lord of Changle smiled and went to chase Mei Xue, she had never seen Mei Xue so faceless, but she really liked Mei Xue like this!
The night wind was bleak, and Kong stood under the palace lamp, his face already distorted.
She didn't pursue Mei Xue and ordered someone to throw her daughter out of the carriage, and she broke her teeth and knocked out two teeth, Mei Xue dared not give her face like this.
Sure enough, it's a little slut from the countryside, an uneducated thing.
Mei Xue went to check Princess Chenyang's pulse the next day, and happened to meet Guo Yunqing, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, at the gate of the palace.
The two of them stood and talked for a while, Mei Xue remembered Kong's words, so she asked Guo Yunqing casually.
Unexpectedly, Guo Yunqing broke a shocking news to her.
It turned out that Zhao Qixia's father, the husband of the Kong family after the sage, and Zhao Baorong, the chief secretary of the Guozijian, actually suffered from flower willow disease.
Guo Yunqing was a little embarrassed, his eyes dodged and whispered to Mei Xue:
"Miss Mei, the old man shouldn't have said this kind of thing to your girl's family, but the Zhao family is really hateful, and even after I told the truth, they were threatened and pestered, I was afraid that they would ...... Alas, in short, you must not go to his house, lest you will not be able to get out of it when you get out. ”
Mei Xue smiled, and after solemnly thanking the envoy Guo, she said:
"It's a mortal disease, but it's just a fantasy on their minds.
Moreover, I think that Kong is struggling so much, I am afraid that there are other hidden reasons. ”
After speaking, Mei Xue and Guo Yuanenvoy glanced at each other, and both of them were silent.
If the husband has this disease, no matter how virtuous the wife is, he will not seek medical treatment like Kong, and do everything possible to cover up the news, unless there is someone who cares more about Kong's family also has the same disease.
As soon as she returned to the lilac, Mei Xue told Mei Gang about it and told him:
"Uncle Mei, I don't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore. But I'm in vain, and I think that the Kong clan won't give up easily.
You told Qin Li and Sun Qiang to be careful lately, and don't follow their way. ”
Kong has already jumped off the wall in a hurry, and he may not dare to use dirty means to force her to come to the door.
Mei Gang responded, and the next day he sent Mei Xue new news: Zhao Baorong was not the only one who was sick in the Zhao family, but also Zhao Baorong and Zhao Xin, the only son of the Kong family, and this young master Zhao was even more sick.
Mei Gang's eyes were full of disgust, and he said to Mei Xue:
"Zhao Xin lingers in the willow alleys of Flower Street all the year round, and their father and son are now taking medicine to save their lives, and the two handsome girls in the house have died of illness more than a month ago."
Mei Xue naturally wanted to find out why Zhao Baorong's father and son suffered from the same dirty disease, and also understood why Kong was so eager and refused to give up seeking medical treatment for Zhao Baorong.
What she wanted to save was probably only the life of her only son, but she was afraid of ruining her son's reputation, so she pushed Zhao Baorong to the surface first.
Mei Xue sneered, and once again instructed Mei Gang to pay attention to the inside and outside of the mansion to prevent being calculated by the Kong family mother and daughter.
However, Mei Xue still underestimated the shamelessness of Kong and Zhao Qixia.
After a few more days, Zhao Qixia actually found the plum house in Lilac in person.
Naturally, she couldn't get in the door, so she threatened Mei Gang, saying that Jiu'er had knocked her out of the carriage and lost two teeth, and there were witnesses.
If Mei Xue didn't go to Zhao's Mansion for medical treatment, she would go to the yamen to accuse Mei Xue of indulging in hurting people.
Jiu'er laughed angrily, rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out.
Mei Xue stopped Jiu'er, thought about it and said with a smile:
"Forget it, if I don't agree, even if she doesn't go to the yamen to make trouble, I'm afraid that the Kong family will also go to the crown princess to cry and beg, and then the crown princess will not agree, if she agrees, won't I still have trouble?"
"Girl, you're not going to cure them for that dirty disease, are you?"
Jiu'er was so shocked that she waved her hand and asked.
Mei Xue shook her head with a smile, but there was fierceness in her eyes and said:
"I didn't want to be entangled anymore, but they are so unrelenting, so don't blame me for being rude."
Speaking of this, Mei Xue looked at Mei Gang and said:
"Uncle Mei, you tell her that if you want me to be cured, you will carry the patient to our house.
In addition, you find some idlers in advance, and when the Zhao family arrives, let them come around to watch the excitement. ”
Mei Gang understood what Mei Xue meant, and immediately went out to make arrangements.
Jiu'er thought for a while before reacting, gritted her teeth and clapped her hands and smiled:
"This is the best, and it can be regarded as revenge for Han Gongzi."
Jiu'er has always respected scholars, and has always been haunted by Han Yu's death.
Mei Xue also smiled, patted Jiu'er's shoulder and told her to calm down first.
