Chapter 189: Old Lady Cao is sick
"No, I can't. Cui Pu coldly refused.
Aunt Zhao suddenly stretched her face. "Why, Cui Liulangjun, you are an official, and your worth is high, so you can't look down on poor relatives outside?"
"Auntie, who your brother is, don't you know it yourself? For as long as I can remember, he has eaten, drank, prostituted, gambled, and done all kinds of evil, just a ruffian and a hooligan! My cousin has been taken by him since he was a child, how good can he be? You asked me to take them to Yangzhou because you planned to let me back them up and let them indulge in unscrupulous nonsense there, right?" Cui Pu said coldly.
"Did you say that about your own uncle?" Aunt Zhao blushed and immediately shouted, "I don't think I'm a female ugly dog or a poor family, you're good now, you're good at it, and you don't even want to take your own uncle with you?"
"What kind of uncle is he, is he?" If you have the ability, you let him go to the courtyard of Cui Mansion and call himself uncle, and see if the porter will open the door to welcome him in?" Cui Pu also raised his voice.
Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately sat down on the ground, pulling her throat and crying: "I can't live this day! Cui Liulangjun has forgotten his poor relatives when he becomes an official! What is the use of my aunt giving birth to him? Now he will not agree to ask him for a trivial matter. It seems that even if he becomes the prime minister in the future, I don't expect to please him at all! I'm not alive, I'm still dead!"
Mu Jiaojiao was annoyed by her crying.
Look at Cui Pu, his face is also very ugly.
"What should we do? or shall we just say yes?" she asked in a whisper.
"No!" Cui Pu shook his head resolutely, "I haven't even taken office yet, and I've been stuffed with such a big trouble around me, so what's the matter? Although you haven't seen my uncle and cousin, if you look at your aunt like this, and if you quadruple it, you can think of what virtues those father and son have." Isn't it like I have a big guillotine hanging over my head and accidentally wiping myself with a big guillotine hanging over my head? I'm not that stupid!"
"But my aunt ...... like this"
"Let her howl! I can be satisfied with all the little things. But now, I won't agree to die!" Cui Pu said, and shouted at Aunt Zhao's little maid, "Are you all dead? Don't you see that Aunt Zhao is very uncomfortable? Hurry up and help her back, give her a heart-clearing pill, and serve her to rest." If Aunt Niang doesn't get well until dark, then you don't serve well, and I'll kick you all out of the house!"
The little maid was so frightened that her little face turned pale, and she hurriedly ran forward and dragged Aunt Zhao out without saying anything.
It's just that although the person is gone, her mournful cry is still like an aftersound, lingering in the ears of the two people and never dissipating. Mu Jiaojiao's brain was swollen: "I'm tired, I'll go to the rest meeting first." ”
"Well, I'll go sit down with my brother again. He said he had some things to tell me. Cui Pu nodded and walked away with a gloomy face.
However, Aunt Zhao's matter has not yet ended.
On the second day, Mrs. Cui specially called Mu Jiaojiao over: "How did I hear that Aunt Zhao is sick? She's also Rokuro's aunt, so go show her!"
Mu Jiaojiao was helpless. "Auntie, I can't cure this disease. ”
As soon as Mrs. Cui heard this, she knew that things were not simple. "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Jiaojiao put forward Aunt Zhao's request again, and then smiled bitterly: "Liulang is now one head and two big. He had never been exposed to officialdom before, and he had no bottom in his heart. It was too late for him to be too busy looking for people to learn from him, and now his aunt was going to make trouble, and he was almost scared to death. Originally, he was worried that he would not be able to do this official well, and if there were a few more people around him who didn't do their right things, wouldn't that be even more of a drag on him? His things were not good and small, but because of this, the people of a county would suffer, and the reputation of the Boling Cui clan would be affected, then his sin would be great!"
"How unreasonable!" Mrs. Cui became angry after hearing this, "You little children's family are already busy enough, she doesn't come to help you solve your worries, but she deliberately comes to make trouble, where is this thinking for Liulang? You don't have to worry about this matter, Aunt Zhao has me to say it, to ensure that she will not have such thoughts again." ”
Mu Jiaojiao was overjoyed when she heard this. The daughter-in-law thanked her aunt first. ”
I don't know what Mrs. Cui called someone to say to Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao got up from the bed with a grunt that night, and she could eat the food and swallow the water. It's just that for several days, the food that Mu Jiaojiao asked people to send was returned by her.
It can be seen that she still has a bit of temperament in her heart.
However, Mu Jiaojiao didn't have the heart to care about these things for a long time. Because someone came to the door again to seek medical treatment.
The person who came was Mrs. Cao, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Originally, with our identity, we were not qualified to ask the Sixth Young Lady for your help. It's just that my old lady is old, and she has always been restless and hot all over her body since most of the Chinese New Year's Eve recently, so that she can't sleep. I asked the doctor to read a lot of prescriptions, but there was no effect after eating, and the person became thinner, but after using the Qingxin Pill in the Mu's Baicao Hall, he improved slightly. So now, we have to be cheeky to beg the sixth young lady to be merciful and show my old lady. Mrs. Cao said with a guilty face.
Mu Jiaojiao listened, and only asked one sentence: "You come to invite me, does Old Madam Cao know?"
Mrs. Cao froze, her face a little embarrassed.
Mu Jiaojiao waved her hand: "Old Madam Cao has always had a pimple in my heart, and I am afraid that she will not agree to let me diagnose and treat." Mrs. Cao, if you want her to get better soon, you might as well go and ask for another famous doctor. ”
"No, no, no, you will be wrong, Sixth Young Lady! Of course, my old lady is willing to invite you there! Actually, I came to ask you today, and that's what she meant. Mrs. Cao hurriedly said.
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
"She actually agreed?"
Mrs. Cao smiled very awkwardly. "People are old and a little stubborn. It's just about her body, and she naturally won't stick to the prejudices of the past. ”
Translated into the vernacular, that is, although Mrs. Cao doesn't like her, she won't get along with her body. Especially when people are older, they are more afraid of death. Now that she finds out that there is something wrong with her body, where can she still take care of any prejudices? Naturally, she grabbed the best doctor and quickly cured her of the disease!
I have to say that this old lady Cao's bones are really soft. She thought she would hold out to the end!
The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips raised slightly: "I have a lot of things on hand recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to go out." ”
It was because she knew that they were about to leave Chang'an, so Mrs. Cao was in a hurry, and in the past few days, she secretly reminded her to hurry up and invite Mu Jiaojiao to see her. Otherwise, when the people are gone, there will be no good doctor in Chang'an City to see her, so what should I do?
It's just that the old lady can't do this authentically. also wanted Mu Jiaojiao to come to her to see a doctor willingly, but didn't want to pull down the button, so he put the responsibility on his daughter-in-law, and only told her daughter-in-law that she must invite Mu Jiaojiao. What can Mrs. Cao do now? In front of Mu Jiaojiao, she can only tell the truth.
"We also know that the sixth young lady, you are about to leave Chang'an. It's just the heart of the doctor's parents, presumably the sixth young lady, you will definitely not stand by while watching someone being tortured by illness. In the past, our family was disrespectful to you, but now we all know that we are wrong, and please ask the sixth young lady to help my old lady take a look!"
This Cao family should include Mrs. Cao and Cao Shu, right?
Although Mrs. Cao treated her badly, Mrs. Cao has always treated her with courtesy. She knows that.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "I feel Mrs. Cao's sincerity. It's just that I've been really busy these two days, and I really can't go out. But Mrs. Cao's problem, I probably know the reason. When the fourth is uglier, the foot syncopation yin and liver meridians are prosperous at this time. Her problem is called ugly time irritability, which is caused by the depression and heat of the liver meridian, and it cannot be passed when it is passed. The reason why he is getting thinner and thinner now is also caused by the yin and blood of the liver and the liver caused by long-term depression and heat. It's not a big problem, use a little chai hu soup to add flavor, dredge the liver meridian, clear the depression and heat, and nourish the blood and nourish the yin. Just take a few doses like this. ”
As he spoke, he asked Hongdou to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a prescription for her.
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but be shocked when she held the prescription: "Sixth young lady, did you already know that my old lady had this problem?"
"A few times before I went to Cao's Mansion, didn't I meet the old lady a few times? At that time, I saw that the corners of her eyes were red and her expression was a little impatient, and I knew that she had a heat in her liver meridian. It's just that if she stops getting angry indiscriminately, properly restrains her temper, and takes two Yangrong pills, it will be fine. But now it seems that I thought things too simply. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.
Mrs. Cao felt more and more embarrassed.
Doesn't she know what kind of character her aunt has? Because it was the widowed mother who single-handedly pulled her son up, she was stubborn and arrogant. Now that I'm older, I'm even more paranoid. The whole family, anyone who disobeys her will be scolded, and even Mu Jiaojiao, the guest who came to treat Cao Shu's illness, was troubled by her. If you want her to restrain her temper, it's harder than climbing to the sky!
And Mu Jiaojiao discovered this sign at the beginning, but she never reminded them, presumably she was a little angry in her heart, and deliberately held back to see the excitement, right?
Now that she can prescribe a prescription to treat Mrs. Cao's illness, it is enough to ignore her previous suspicions. She couldn't find fault with anything more.
Knowing in her heart that Mu Jiaojiao was unwilling to enter the door of the Cao family again, she was no longer reluctant, and hurriedly took the medicine to leave.
It's just that when she grabbed the medicine and returned to Cao's mansion, she sent the decocted medicine to Mrs. Cao, and Mrs. Cao lifted it up. "Just by the glance she saw half a year ago, she can know what kind of illness I am? You really dare to take the medicine according to the prescription and give it to me! Aren't you afraid that she will kill me?"
Mrs. Cao hurriedly knelt down. "The Sixth Young Lady explained your illness clearly, and there is nothing wrong with it. This medicine is definitely symptomatic. And auntie, have you forgotten, she didn't look at Thirteen Niang a few times and told her about her illness?"
"That's Thirteen Niang! It's not me!" Old Lady Cao said sharply, "I won't take this medicine." You go and bring her here, and let her take my pulse!"
