Chapter 124 seems to be a little untrue!
Steward Zhao has always been very efficient, Tang Shuyi asked him to check the situation of General Weiwu's father, and received a reply before dinner: "General Weiwu's father, when he first entered the winter, he had a cold, and then he has not been well, and now he is bedridden." ”
Tang Shuyi frowned when she heard this, she is not a doctor, this kind of thing really can't help. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What kind of medicine is missing?" ”
"Alas, the doctor who treated the father of the mighty general said that it was because of the lack of medicine that the general's mansion did not have, and the mighty general's father was reluctant to spend money to buy it, and in the end it became like this." Steward Zhao sighed: "But it's not easy to buy that flavored medicine." ”
"What medicine?" Tang Shuyi asked.
Steward Zhao: "More than 100 years old ginseng, this kind of ginseng, there is generally no ginseng in the pharmacy, even if anyone has it, it will not be easy to take it out, after all, it is a hanging thing." ”
After hearing this, Tang Shuyi frowned and thought for a while and said, "Is there a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng in our warehouse?" ”
Steward Zhao was shocked when he heard her words, "Madam, I can't help it!" We have just one in our house, after giving it to someone, what if we need it? This General Wuwei and our Hou Mansion are not very close. ”
Tang Shuyi knew that he was for the good of the Marquis of Yongning, so he explained to him slowly: "Mountain ginseng that is more than a hundred years old is important, but it is a dead thing, and it is nothing compared to Yuming's future. ”
Steward Zhao had some understanding on his face, and Tang Shuyi said again: "It is said that it is easy to add icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but this love of sending charcoal in the snow is precious." What I want is to let General Wuwei owe us this favor. ”
Steward Zhao nodded, "The old slave knows, but General Wuwei's father can't use one, just cut some for them." ”
"Okay." Tang Shuyi said.
If you can save your life, you naturally have to keep some in your hands.
"Take it out and send it over now," after thinking about it, Tang Shuyi ordered again: "Let Yuming go with you." ”
At this time, it is natural to let Xiao Yuming show up in General Wuwei's mansion. Moreover, if you use it earlier, maybe the old man will get better sooner. Although there are some calculations in this act of sending ginseng, she really hopes that the old man is good.
Steward Zhao got the order, walked quickly to the warehouse, and took out the old ginseng that the Hou Mansion had treasured for many years. I carefully opened the iron box containing the mountain ginseng, looked at it again and again, and finally took a knife painfully, cut a piece from the tail, and then immediately closed the iron box and carefully put it away.
wrapped the small piece of ginseng that was cut off, and went to Xiao Yuming's yard to find someone. Fortunately, Xiao Yuming was at home today, and Steward Zhao told him the ins and outs of sending ginseng to General Wuwei's family, and said: "Second son, Madame is really painstaking for the sake of your three brothers and sisters!" ”
Xiao Yuming's face was a little moved, and he said, "I understand, let's go." ”
Steward Zhao saw that he was dressed in a practice uniform, and said, "Second son, go and change your clothes." ”
Xiao Yuming looked down at the clothes on his body, it was really inappropriate to go out to visit, so he went back to the bedroom, changed into a dark blue dark pattern robe, and put a black embroidered gold cloak outside, the whole person looked mighty and spiritual.
Steward Zhao looked at it and smiled, "This is good." ”
Xiao Yuming didn't care very much, strode out, and said, "Let's go, I'm going to come back for dinner." ”
Steward Zhao sighed and quickly followed behind him.
Xiao Yuming usually doesn't take a carriage when he goes out, he rides a horse. With Steward Zhao, the two of them walked towards General Wuwei's mansion with a horse. After arriving, Steward Zhao handed over the name of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the gatekeeper of General Wuwei's Mansion immediately reported to him, and invited the two to the hall at the same time.
After a while, General Wu Wei's brother Wu Kang strode over, and he was stunned when he saw Xiao Yuming. He had heard of the reputation of the second son of the Marquis of Yongning, and he was not enterprising and consummated. But now that I've seen it, it seems that the rumors are a little untrue!
Although he thought so in his heart, after seeing the ceremony, Wu Kang said with a smile on his face: "I don't know what happened to the second son today?" ”
Although it is said that General Wuwei has a good relationship with Xiao Huai in the northwest, in Shangjing, the two families do not have much contact. He couldn't guess what was going on with the second son of the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion coming to their house.
"Today, my mother received a post from the house, and I learned that General Wuwei's wife had returned to Beijing." Xiao Yuming said: "When my mother inquired, she found out that the old lady in the house was sick. In the past, my father always mentioned General Wuwei to my mother, saying that he was like-minded with General Wuwei, and my mother knew that the old lady was sick and was also very anxious, so she asked me to send a little century-old ginseng treasured in the house, hoping to be useful. ”
"Really, 100-year-old ginseng?" Wu Kang stood up in surprise and asked.
"Yes." Xiao Yuming took out the piece of mountain ginseng and handed it to Wu Kang, who took it, his hands trembling a little.
It's no wonder that he is like this, General Wuwei was born from the grassroots, and before participating in the martial arts, his family was a farmer who was digging in the field, and even when the year was bad, he had to go hungry.
Later, the officers of Wuwei became bigger and bigger, and the life of the martial arts family became better and better, but some things in their bones still couldn't change. For example, being thrifty, being frightened when you see the powerful, and so on.
This time, General Wu Wei's father was sick, and it was also a major illness caused by a minor illness. At first, he had a cold, and he felt that he didn't need to see a doctor, just drink more hot water and sleep under the quilt, and if he didn't sleep well, he would sleep more.
But he didn't get better after sleeping on the quilt for three or four days, so he could only ask a doctor, and the illness was already a little serious at this time. The doctor took the pulse and prescribed medicine, but General Wuwei's father insisted on prescribing cheap medicine, saying that when he was farming, he had never taken medicine when he was sick, and now he can get better by taking some cheap medicine.
As a result, after taking this medicine for half a month, he did not get better, and his illness became more and more serious, and he was finally bedridden. He is already old, so a bad life may be gone. This time, they didn't dare to ask the doctor to prescribe cheap medicine, but this time the doctor prescribed a century-old ginseng that they couldn't buy.
This can make the Wu family anxious, there is no medicine store, the doctor said that many people in Shangjing have it, let them ask. However, the people who can hide the century-old ginseng are not simple people. Their family is in Shangjing, although they live in the General's Mansion, they basically don't interact with outsiders, and they feel that those powerful people are not easy to get along with, so they don't know where to borrow.
Wu Kang mentioned going to the Yongning Hou Mansion, but the old lady Wu said that his life was not worth such an expensive mountain ginseng, and he would not let Wu Kang go if he was killed. Eventually, the disease reached the point where the medicine was almost ineffective.
At this time, can Wu Kang not be excited to see this century-old mountain ginseng?
