Chapter 125: Guo Tingshi and Chang Taiyi
When I went down to the first floor, I saw an old man in his sixties half-lying on a couch, and a seven or eight-year-old boy kneeling beside him, holding the old man's hand with both hands, and calling his grandfather with tears in his eyes. The old man looked a little pained, but he still had a smile on his face and whispered comfortingly: "Grandfather is fine, don't worry." ”
Mu Jiaojiao walked forward quickly, and finally saw the old man's left trouser leg being pulled up high, his ankle swollen in a big circle, and a large piece of skin was knocked off at the knee above, and he was bleeding nonstop.
"Is this an old injury?" she immediately asked.
The old man's eyes flashed. "Today, the old man took his grandson to play on the street and accidentally fell. At this age, the bones are brittle, and it can be like this with a little touch. Hey, I'm so old!"
"Grandfather, it's all grandchildren who are not good, and grandchildren shouldn't run so fast. Hearing this, the child's tears rolled in his eyes, and he whispered sadly.
The old man touched his head and sighed silently.
Mu Jiaojiao glanced at the pair of ancestors and grandchildren lightly, and said to the red bean: "Bring me the purse embroidered with peonies." ”
The red bean hurriedly flipped it out and handed it over, and Mu Jiaojiao took out a brown pill from it and sent it to the old man's mouth: "Eat this!"
The old man didn't move, and the little boy immediately pushed her away as if she were facing a great enemy: "Who are you? What is this thing in your hand?
"Naturally, it was a medicine that was good for your grandfather's body. Mu Jiaojiao said.
"Hmph, who believes you, my slave has already gone to ask for a doctor, and you are not needed here!" said the little boy.
Cheng Jiuniang, who came later, was furious when she heard this, and grabbed him by the collar. "You little rabbit, who taught you these words? The pills she made by herself were more effective than the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor. It's a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes to meet her, and now you still dare to dislike her?"
"The saint has clouds, but the words of a woman cannot be heard!" the boy struggled a few times to no avail, and then raised his head and shouted. Although he is small, his momentum is almost comparable to that of Cheng Jiuniang.
Cheng Jiuniang couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "I don't see it, you are young, and you still know a lot of things! Come on, come, I'll let you see if my woman's words can be trusted!"
said, regardless of the child's desperate struggle, he was stunned and pushed people aside.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the old man again: "You are not only spraining your foot now, but you have fallen so hard that your bones are misaligned." In addition, you already have old injuries in your body, and your bones are brittle when you are old, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary doctors to treat them. If you wait for the doctor invited by your servants, it will take half an hour. After such a long time, are you sure you can bear to let your grandson watch from the sidelines and blame yourself all the time?"
The old man's eyes suddenly shot two sharp rays. "Where did you see that I had an old wound?"
"Your posture. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Although you hurt your left leg, you have been holding only one hand on your knee, the other hand has been supporting your waist, and your body has also maintained a sideways lying position, which means that you are hurting not only your ankles and knees, but also your thighs." It's just that you're very determined, and you've been patient. ”
"I really didn't see it, little lady, you are still a good player. Lao Tzu said meaningfully.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly. "Now, can you take my medicine with confidence?"
"Of course. The old man said, motioning for the servant to take the pill and swallow it for him. Mu Jiaojiao took out another medicine and handed it to the servant, "This one is made of water or vinegar." ”
The servant agreed.
Mu Jiaojiao pressed her hands on the old man's ankles again and gently touched them a few times. Seeing this, the old man smiled and asked, "Little lady, are you planning to give the old man a bone?"
"Why not?" Mu Jiaojiao said, suddenly with a force on his hand.
only heard a crisp snap, and the big guys on the first floor were startled, and even Cheng Jiuniang, who was playing with the child, was stunned. Xiao Tong hurriedly took the opportunity to break free from her restraints and ran back.
"Grandfather, grandfather, how are you?"
"Don't worry, grandfather is fine. She was really treating her grandfather just now! Look, his grandfather's ankle is already healed!" The old man smiled and moved his ankle in front of his grandson.
Only then did the big guy realize that his ankle, which was motionless just now, was now moving freely, and even the redness and swelling on his ankle had disappeared a lot.
When the little boy saw it, he hurriedly wiped his tears, turned around and saluted Mu Jiaojiao: "Thank you Langjun for treating my grandfather." Fang is that I was reckless, I blamed Lang Jun, and I ask Lang Jun for forgiveness. ”
Cheng Jiuniang sneered again when she heard this.
Mu Jiaojiao glanced at her. At this time, the servant had already melted the medicine in the vinegar bowl, and Mu Jiaojiao immediately took it and carefully applied it to the old man's ankles and knees. She applied a thick layer evenly, and only then did she wipe her hands until the small half bowl of water was smeared: "Okay, wait a few more moments, and your blood flow will stop." ”
"Thank you, little lady. The old man hurriedly thanked him.
"No thanks, you just need to give me five dollars for the medical bills. Mu Jiaojiao said.
The old man was stunned. "Five dollars, so expensive?"
"This medicine is worth it. Mu Jiaojiao said.
The two glanced at each other, and the old man finally nodded: "Ah Bai, take a piece of gold leaf to this little lady." ”
The servant hurriedly answered, took out a gold leaf and handed it to the old man. The old man handed it to Mu Jiaojiao instead.
Mu Jiaojiao accepted it unceremoniously, then took out a slender piece about half a finger length from her purse, and carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief. "This is the same medicine as Fang Cai, you take it back, and then cut off a thin piece every day and take it internally, which is very good for your injury recovery. If there is any external injury, it can be the same. Either internally or externally, no problem. ”
"Then thank you to the little lady for the medicine. The old man also calmly ordered the servant to take the medicine.
When everything was over, I saw Cui Pu running in in a hurry.
didn't look at the people around him, he came straight to Mu Jiaojiao's side, grabbed her and walked out. As he walked, he kept nagging: "Didn't you say that you just came out for a walk? Why did you come here? It makes it easy for me to find it! Let's go home quickly, and you will never be allowed to go out alone in the future!"
"Hmm. Mu Jiaojiao, who was not humble or arrogant in front of the old man just now, and had a leisurely bearing, was now like a well-behaved child, obediently letting him drag him out, and his feet quickly caught up with his steps. Even listening to his lesson, she was not displeased at all, but the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she seemed to be very happy?
Seeing this, the old man's eyes flashed again.
Not long after Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu left, a middle-aged man finally rushed over.
"Daddy!" he came to the old man with an arrow, "It's too late, please punish Daddy!"
"Really, a little thing, how did it alarm you? You only went back to Chang'an yesterday, didn't you say that you were going to see Shangguan today? Isn't it slacking off to Shangguan when you come here at this time?" The old man complained in displeasure.
"Daddy has something, so naturally he has to take care of Daddy first. Shangguan has already sent someone to explain. The middle-aged man said, "Daddy, please rest assured, after knowing the news, I have already ordered someone to ask for Doctor Chang." He'll be there right away. ”
"No, I'm fine. The old man shook his head.
The middle-aged man was stunned. The old man made a gesture to get up, but the middle-aged man subconsciously reached out to help, but was pushed away by the old man.
The old man landed on his feet, stood up steadily, and walked a few steps in front of his son: "Look, I'm not already well?"
The middle-aged man looked sluggish. "What's going on? I heard Hei say ......."
"I'll tell you about what happened just now, now let's go back first!" said the old man.
The father has a life, and the son has to obey. The middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head and followed the old man out of the teahouse.
Because the old man broke his leg and was now inconvenient to ride a horse, the middle-aged man ordered someone to drive a carriage over. After the old man got on the horse, the middle-aged man also abandoned the horse and got on the car to be with his father and son.
The carriage started, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, what happened just now?"
"My grandfather did fall just now, and he was seriously injured. But just now a brother came, he straightened his grandfather's bones, and gave his grandfather a medicine, and smeared this medicine on the wound, and then his grandfather's ankle was healed, and the wound was no longer bleeding!" Xiao Tong couldn't help it, and hurriedly said loudly.
The old man smiled and touched his grandson's head. "That one is not a brother, she is a sister. ”
The boy blinked and shook his head desperately. "That's obviously a brother, not a sister!"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed. "Okay, okay, now you can treat her as a brother. When you look back and see her again, you will know whether she is a brother or a sister. ”
When the middle-aged man heard the words of the grandfather, his face was even more surprised: "Could it be that it is a little lady who treats you Daddy?"
"Exactly. The old man bowed his head.
"Is it really a little lady?" The middle-aged man's face was full of disbelief, "Which little lady has such a miraculous skill, can give people bones at a young age, and can make such a good wound medicine?"
"You have been out of town for a long time, so naturally you don't know some recent rumors in Chang'an City. The old man said meaningfully.
The middle-aged man bowed his head. "Please also ask Daddy to solve his doubts. ”
"A few days ago, there was a miracle doctor lady in Chang'an City. The old man said, and patted his grandson's little head again, "Da Lang, you tell your father about this." ”
"Yes, grandfather. The boy simply agreed, and told all the things that had been rumored a few days ago. Although he is still young, he speaks very clearly, speaks very well, and explains things clearly in a few simple words.
The middle-aged man listened. "Could it be that Daddy, do you think that it is this Mu Liuniang who treated you today?"
"Now she should be called Mrs. Cui Liu. The old man said, "If I was just suspicious when I saw her with the Cheng family's Nineteen Niang at the beginning, but later I saw that the Cui family's gentleman came to find her in person, and I was already sure in my heart." ”
"Since this is the case, then I will definitely ask someone to prepare a generous gift to send to Cui's mansion to thank Mrs. Cui Liushao for saving her life. The middle-aged man said busily.
"That's nature. The old man bowed his head, "Today, Cui Ge's old daughter-in-law personally treated my illness, and gave me this medicine before leaving, a mere piece of gold leaf is really cheap." ”
"Daddy's meaning, I understand! That thank-you gift must be well prepared, and it will definitely satisfy Mrs. Cui Liu. The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.
"I'm afraid, it's not money that she loves at all!" the old man smiled and shook his head.
The father and son returned to the house, and it didn't take long for an old doctor with white hair to arrive in a hurry.
"Imperial Doctor Chang!" Seeing this person, the middle-aged man hurriedly greeted him, "Why are you still here?" Didn't I call someone to tell you, is my father okay?"
"Guo Tingshi has an old illness, and now he has fallen again, the situation must not be optimistic, it is better for the lower officials to come and see. Doctor Chang insisted.
Now that everyone has come, there is no reason to drive him back again. The middle-aged man led him to the old man's room.
Seeing him coming, the old man also smiled heartily: "You're late! I'm well now! Look, the swelling in the ankle has subsided, the knee is no longer bleeding, and even the old wound on the thigh doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Really?" Doctor Chang looked incredulous, insisted on stepping forward to check his wound and check his pulse, and then the doubt on his face deepened, "Your wound is really healed." What's going on?"
"Naturally, it's someone else's medicine. I've taken so much of your medicine, and I've never had such a good curative effect!" the old man said with a smile, happily telling the story of the teahouse.
After hearing this, Imperial Physician Chang sneered several times. "Who else should I be, it turns out that Mu Niangzi again? She just has a few ancestral prescriptions in her hand, it's not a big deal. Didn't you see it too, she didn't take your pulse, and even checked the wound, so she directly took out the medicine for you to eat, which shows that she has a little ability!"
"Then what did she say about giving me a straight bone? I've had a few injuries to my ankle, and you yourself have said that the bones of my ankle have broken several times, and even you don't dare to touch it, and every time you give me a bone, you're careful for fear of breaking it. But she didn't blink an eyelid at all, and just came back to me! You see, I'm so fine now, and there's nothing unusual about it!" said the old man, and deliberately jumped a few times in front of him.
Doctor Chang opened his mouth. "Well, that's her luck. ”
"Hey, Brother Yannan, I said you should stop deceiving yourself, can't you? What's wrong with admitting that a little lady's medical skills are better than you? Haven't you been lamenting that your disciples are not as good as one before, but now that you finally have a good one, it can be seen that your medical inheritance is promising, you should be happy!" The old man smiled and patted him on the shoulder several times, "Okay, okay, you can admit it! I'll take you to meet that little lady another day, huh?"
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to meet her!" said Doctor Chang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
