Chapter 240: Healing
Mother Zhong asked someone to burn a pot of warm soup, and asked two strong mothers-in-law to carry Lan Yu into the basin, and Mother Zhong wiped her tears while wiping Lan Yu with a towel. What a girl, she was tortured like this by Xiao Rongcheng. But she didn't dare to wipe her tears in front of Lan Yu, so she could only take advantage of the time to wipe Lan Yu's back and secretly wipe a few tears.
When Liu Tianbao sent Lan Yu back, he also told Zhong's mother that when Lan Yu was fished out of the river, her clothes were frozen like a piece of ice, which was stronger than the small pond where he searched for golden silk nanmu. She was wounded, unconscious, and paralyzed. So no matter how cold it was, she couldn't feel it.
When Mother Zhong was dumbfounded, she had never seen a paralyzed person at her age! When she saw Lan Yu's delicate face, Mother Zhong sighed, how could she live in this life when she was paralyzed in bed at such a flower-like age?
"Miss Lan is a good person, but it's a pity that in her life, she was miserable by her unconscious father. Liu Tianbao sighed: "Mother Zhong, you are so waiting." When the master was still in the Wei Mansion, Miss Lan called the master a sister. ”
The Lan family is an official family, and the young lady of the Lan family inevitably has unique tastes, so Mother Zhong specially sent someone to call Shi Yushui back to cook for Lan Yu. Shi Yushui made a few dim sums and a cup of bird's nest shark fin soup. I'm afraid that it will be cold, so I have been warming it in a basin with hot water. The prince's mansion was waiting for Lan Yu up and down, and he was busy working for Lan Yu alone.
The little girls who pick out clothes are shuttling like flowing water, too bright, too plain. It's too new, it's not good, it's too old. Picking and choosing, Mother Zhong pointed to a set of jade-colored dresses: "That's it." ”
Mother Zhong changed Lanyu's dress, and asked the two mothers-in-law to carry Lanyu to another side room in Yuanxi's courtyard. The bed is surprisingly soft, there are five sets of mattresses underneath, the quilt should be clean, and the fluffy cotton cover is light and fluttering on the body, which is very comfortable, but Lanyu can't feel it.
When the bed was just made, two little girls muttered at the door, saying that Lan Yu was a paralyzed person, and she couldn't feel it no matter how good the mattress was for her, and Mother Zhong also asked someone to make a five-layer mattress for her, which was a waste of things. These words were impartial, and when Mother Zhong, who came to get the clothes, heard it, she slapped her left and right, and the little girl's face turned red.
"Miss Lanyu is a distinguished guest of the Prince's Mansion, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Miss Lanyu, it is disrespectful to the mother, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"
The little girl was beaten, and she knelt on the ground to make amends, saying that she was confused for a while, and she would never dare to talk about the master in the future. Mother Zhong was willing to spare them, and ordered someone to drag them to the firewood room and beat ten boards each.
Shi Yushui brought him the dim sum and soup he had carefully cooked. Mother Zhong took it and saw that the snacks on the plate were all cut with a small knife, and Shi Yushui also carefully inserted a few small silver skewers to facilitate feeding to Lan Yu. Mother Zhong pinched one and sent it to Lan Yu's mouth: "Miss Lan, this Shi Yushui's craftsmanship is good, do you want to try it?"
Lan Yu opened her mouth mechanically, chewed it twice, and swallowed the snack. Mother Zhong gave her water to drink, and she ate snacks, and Mother Zhong didn't know how much she ate, she was afraid that she would be hungry if she fed less, and she was afraid that she would support if she fed too much. When I asked her if she wanted to eat it, she didn't respond, she was like a living dead.
Mother Zhong fed a few pieces of dim sum and half a bowl of soup, and felt that it should be almost there, so she put the bowl aside and couldn't help sighing.
Lan Yu closed her eyes, as if the world had nothing to do with her.
Mother Zhong hooked her hand and called a girl: "You are staring here, if Miss Lan wakes up, you can call me, and I will go to the mother to reply." ”
Mother Zhong returned to Yuanxi's room and saw that she was leaning on the railing of the Babu bed in a daze, so she smiled: "Niangniang, Miss Lan has eaten a few pieces of dim sum and half a bowl of shark fin bird's nest soup, and she has already slept at this time." ”
Yuan Xi hummed faintly.
Mother Zhong felt that Yuan Xi's face was not very good, and reached out to probe Yuan Xi's forehead: "Niangniang, are you uncomfortable, do you want to call a doctor to take a look?"
I have to call a doctor, but I don't want to see a doctor, Lan Yu's throat can't speak, and it's too difficult to get the bronze from her mouth.
At that time, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor had already entered the mansion and treated Lan Yu according to the rules, and when he turned around and saw Yuan Xi standing outside the door, the imperial doctor kowtowed: "Weichen asks the crown princess to say goodbye." ”
"Get up. Yuan Xi raised his hand, called the imperial doctor to the courtyard, and asked, "Is there any way for Miss Lan's throat?"
The imperial doctor stroked his beard and said, "If you go back to Niangniang, Miss Lan's throat is caused by taking an overdose of heat medicine, and according to Weichen, Miss Lan's throat is fine. ”
Yuan Xi was stunned: "Didn't you say that her throat was poisoned by poison?
The Imperial Physician shook his head: "How can there be a kind of poison in this world that specifically burns the throat but does not burn the five internal organs? This is probably just a kind of charlatan trick in the streets and alleys." The decoction made from excessive amounts of ephedra, aconite, red ginseng and other substances may cause hoarseness and inability to speak at that time, but when the effect of the medicine has passed, the person's voice will return to its original state, and there may be some changes in the voice, but it does not affect the pronunciation. ”
Yuan Xi looked at Liu Tianbao, and both of them were happy. Fang Cai was still worried, I didn't know how Lan Yu's illness should be caused, but now it's better, as long as the medicine has passed, Lan Yu can speak again.
"Tianbao, send the imperial doctor. ”
Liu Tianbao bowed down and let the imperial doctor in front of him, and inadvertently stuffed a silver ticket of fifty taels into the imperial doctor's sleeve. The imperial doctor was silent, tacitly put away the silver ticket, and said thank you in a low voice.
Lan Yu stayed in the Prince's Mansion. For the sake of her throat, Mother Zhong got her some medicinal food to eat every day, and after only three days, Lan Yu's voice was gradually able to say sentences. Liu Tianbao followed Captain Li to raid Lan Chengjie's house every day, and searched for three days in a row, but he did not see the whereabouts of the bronze.
The places where the Lan family could dig had been dug up, and even the small pond where the golden silk nanmu had been found had been emptied, revealing the bare lake bed.
This time it was really empty, and even the gold paint on the pillars was hung down by the knife, revealing a bare piece of log, which was very ugly.
Captain Li stayed in Lanfu for the past few days, and like the soldiers, he ate green vegetable noodles boiled in a big iron pot. Afraid that the Lan family would starve to death, he also brought a bowl to Lan Chengjie and Mrs. Lan, and the people each had two cornmeal nests a day. There is no oil star noodles, even the subordinates of the Lan Mansion are not used to eating them, let alone Lan Chengjie and his wife? This noodles have been put for two days, and no one has touched them, and on the third day, Lan Chengjie was so hungry that he secretly picked two noodles with chopsticks and put them in his mouth.
Lan Chengjie at first felt that Captain Li was insulting him by serving him such noodles, because their pigs didn't eat such a bland.
To cook noodles, you must first prepare the broth, beef bones or lamb bones boiled, clear to the bottom. The noodles should be strong, and the wheat noodles are cooked with a little barley flour and Jiang rice flour, which is not only soft and glutinous, but also chewy and looks crystal clear. Finally, the toppings, the newborn calf, cut a loin, slice thinly, marinate for a few days with various shades of rice wine mixed with rice wine, steam in the basket drawer, the meat is thin like paper, very delicious. Finally, add some coriander and chopped green onions to your personal taste, and aged vinegar and chili peppers as the finishing touch.
Lan Chengjie thought about the noodles cooked by Mrs. Lan in his heart, and then secretly chewed the completely tasteless noodles in his mouth, feeling that he was eating candles.
Captain Li had already found out that Lan Chengjie was secretly eating the bowl of noodles that had been sitting for two days, and deliberately pretended not to know, scooped up a new bowl of noodles, and held it behind his back. walked up to Lan Chengjie, snatched the noodle bowl beside Lan Chengjie, and judged him for a while.
Lan Chengjie was slightly self-conscious: "Take it, I'm not hungry." ”
"Not hungry?" Captain Li raised his eyebrows and took out a new bowl of noodles from his back: "It seems that this bowl is going to be ruined again." ”
Captain Li took Lan Chengjie's chopsticks, went to his side, picked up a chopstick noodle, and sent it to his mouth to snort and suck the noodle soup. Lan Chengjie drooled when he heard the voice, although this noodle is not delicious, but it is also dry food! After two days of hunger, his hands and feet are numb, and a few gold stars pop up in front of him from time to time.
"Can you go somewhere else to eat?" Lan Chengjie glanced at Captain Li with disgust.
Captain Li put down the bowl and said, "What? Don't you allow me to eat? Do you know what kind of grandson I have been tired of by raiding your house?"
Lan Chengjie tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to go back. Captain Li asked, "You really don't want to eat?"
Lan Chengjie lowered his head and was silent.
Captain Li snorted disapprovingly, and served him a new bowl: "Eat." ”
Lan Chengjie held the noodle bowl and sucked it slowly, and couldn't help but spit on himself in his heart--It's really spineless! Captain Li and Lan Chengjie ate noodles one by one, and said a couple of sentences without a match. Captain Li's mouth was broken, and Lan Chengjie was annoyed by three or five sentences, bowed his head to eat noodles, and ignored him anymore.
After finishing eating the noodles, Captain Li looked at Lan Chengjie and asked, "Then again, the Lan family was copied, why didn't you arrange a back road for your daughter?"
Lan Chengjie glanced at him and didn't say anything.
"I heard Mr. Liu say that the fourth master poisoned your daughter by the throat and threw her into the moat. Tell me about you, how did you get mixed up? You are loyal to the fourth master, but you got this result at the end of your life. Your girl can't know something she shouldn't know, right?" Captain Li cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet.
Lan Chengjie stood up suddenly, startling Lieutenant Li, and almost drew his knife with a reflex.
"What are you doing?"
Lan Chengjie asked in a trembling voice: "Fourth Master, General Li, what you said is true?"
Captain Li raised his eyebrows: "Why am I lying to you, I don't believe you to ask Mr. Liu." I heard that Miss Lan was not dead, she was fished up by the guards at the palace gate, and now she has been taken to the prince's mansion. ”
Lan Chengjie sat down dejectedly, that time he and the prince asked Wei Chengzhen to poison the crown princess, and he let Wei Chengzhen go, will the crown princess hold a grudge? Will he blame his Lan Yu for this?
Lan Chengjie bent his knees and fell to the ground: "I beg you, General Li, let me meet the crown princess!"
