Chapter Forty-Seven: Painstaking
Zheng Mansion, living room.
Zheng Heng and his second son Zheng Wenlong received Li Wuchang very warmly, and he expressed his great gratitude to Li Wuchang for coming.
At this time, there were already many people in the living room, Lu Xuandong, Lin Zheng, Guo Yunlei were all there, and the "Chang'an Sanyan" I saw in Longmen Restaurant that day.
In addition, there is the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Chengwang.
Zhou Sheng and Zheng Heng's younger brother Zheng Tai is a friend of life and death, so the Zhou family and the Zheng family are very close, Zheng Heng also regards Zhou Chengwang as his junior, this time Li Wuchang treated the old lady of the Zheng family, he was very concerned and came to help, after the old lady fell ill, he wanted to invite Li Wuchang in person, but Lu Xuandong took the lead.
As for why other people are here, they all have their own reasons.
Needless to say, Lu Xuandong was Li Wuchang's recommender, so he also came this time, and Lin Zheng was his follower, so naturally he also came.
And Guo Yunlei because Guo Hongyi recommended Li Wuchang last time and cured Zhou Sheng's illness, so the Zhou family is very affectionate, these days, the relationship between the Guo family and the Zhou family is much closer, Guo Yunlei and Zhou Chengwang have become good friends, and this time they also came over to see if they could help.
As for the three girls of "Chang'an Sanyan", they formed a team to see how Li Wuchang cured the disease, and they were driven by pure curiosity.
After saying hello, Zheng Heng invited Li Wuchang to see his mother.
Li Wuchang waved his hand and said, "Gong Zheng doesn't need to worry, as far as I know, the old lady is impatient to see the doctor, so I can't go to see her as a doctor, that would be counterproductive." ”
Everyone looked at Li Wuchang in surprise and waited for the following.
Li Wuchang continued: "Listen to me, this time I will pretend to be a soldier who came back from Jizhou, as a comrade-in-arms of Brother Wentong, because I was injured, so I returned to Chang'an, and this time I came to Zheng Mansion to be assigned by Brother Wentong to come and see the old lady." ”
After a pause, he continued: "At that time, I can secretly observe in the dark to see what the old lady is like, so that I can prescribe the right medicine." ”
The old lady of the Zheng family has not eaten much for many days, her body is getting thinner and thinner, and she has recently been infected with wind and cold, and she has taken medicine but has no effect.
Li Wuchang passed the preliminary judgment that the old lady must have a heart disease, and she missed her grandson too much, causing her to not think about tea and dinner, and her body collapsed rapidly, and the general treatment had no effect at all, so she must untie her heart knot first, and she could not be depressed anymore.
Zheng Heng frowned, puzzled.
Zhou Chengwang helped: "Uncle Zheng, just do what impermanence said, last time my father was seriously ill and unconscious, and the process of impermanence treatment was also very weird, in just a quarter of an hour, my father was awakened, and even the old doctor in the imperial hospital was amazed." ”
Li Wuchang said: "Zheng Gong, rest assured, impermanence may be reckless in other things, but curing diseases and saving people is not child's play, and impermanence will never dare to act recklessly." ”
Zheng Heng nodded.
Zheng Wenlong asked, "Then what kind of preparation does Brother Li need, I will prepare immediately." ”
Li Wuchang said: "Brother Wenlong, I bother you to report to Grandmother Ling, just say that your eldest brother's comrades-in-arms in Jizhou have come to see her, let her be mentally prepared first." ”
Lu Ting blinked and asked, "Then can we go and watch it together?"
Guo Yunling and Lin Qin were also looking forward to it.
Li Wuchang advised: "All of you can go in and see ...... However, I should pay attention to one point, that is, my identity, I am a soldier in Jizhou, don't show my stuffing, in addition, I will deliberately provoke some topics later, you had better not talk about it, because I want to secretly observe the old lady's emotions. ”
Everyone nodded when they heard what Li Wuchang said seriously.
......
Zheng Wenlong led Li Wuchang and the others to the inner hall, where Mrs. Zhou was already sitting there, looking very excited, it seemed that she wanted to meet her grandson's comrades-in-arms and learn about her grandson's situation.
Zheng Heng introduced everyone first, the old lady didn't care much, just said hello to Lu Xuandong and Lu Ting a little, and then came up and took Li Wuchang's hand, looked at him, and said excitedly: "The little brother is the friend of the old grandson?"
Li Wuchang said respectfully: "Hello old lady, little Li Si is Brother Wentong's friend in Jizhou, the war in Jizhou is urgent, Brother Wentong is in an important position, he can't be separated, the kid just got injured, he can only come back to recuperate first, Brother Wentong knows that the old lady is worried, so he dragged the little one over to bring the old lady well." ”
Li Wuchang observed the old lady's expression as he spoke.
The old lady's face was bloodless, she looked extremely tired, it could be seen that she had not rested well for many days, her hands were as thin as firewood, her green tendons were exposed, she was malnourished, her eyes were deep-set, her eyes were complicated, as if she was hiding endless thoughts, and her tone was high at the moment, but her breath was extremely weak, and she felt that she would fall down at any time.
It's a serious situation!
Li Wuchang secretly shouted badly, it seems that his judgment is correct, the old lady's body is indeed caused by heart disease, and her heart disease must be cured immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
The old lady heard Li Wuchang's confirmation, her eyes finally had a hint of brilliance, let go of Li Wuchang's hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the old body is excited, don't blame the little brother...... You may be seated, you may be seated. ”
Li Wuchang said with a smile: "The old lady is polite, Wentong often tells the little one how much his grandmother cares about him, he is not in Chang'an, his grandmother must miss him very much, I saw it today, sure enough, Brother Wentong is so blessed, there is a grandmother who cares about him so much." ”
The old lady covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "Will he still remember the old body? If he doesn't come back for so long, I'm afraid he will forget his grandmother." ”
Although the tone was not polite, her expression was still very happy, and it seemed that she was happy to hear her grandson mention her.
Li Wuchang looked at her and sighed in his heart, what a lonely old man.
In fact, the old lady is usually very lonely, and the people in the family are either afraid of her or afraid of disturbing her, no one has a good chat with her, and no one has the patience to listen to her heart.
So as soon as she saw Li Wuchang, her grandson's friend, she was very excited, and talked about Zheng Wentong's interesting stories when he was a child.
This situation is very common, and there are many people who are lonely because they lack a patient listener, and now Li Wuchang plays this listener.
The atmosphere in the room was eerie, everyone sat on stools and didn't speak.
Only the old lady and Li Wuchang talked, and it was the old lady who talked to herself or asked Li Wuchang questions.
Li Wuchang did not show any impatience, looked at the old lady with a smile, and did not take the initiative to interject, if the old lady asked about Jizhou, Li Wuchang would answer immediately.
Of course, most of it was nonsense, and he had already done his homework before.
The old lady changed her usual decadence, and seemed very happy and energetic.
This greatly lifted Zheng Heng and Zheng Wenlong's spirits.
You know, the old lady was sick a few days ago, and she was impatient to speak.
At this moment, the old lady sighed with emotion: "The old man has always understood why Wentong's child is biased to go to the battlefield, little brother, listen to me, Wentong's child is both civil and military, even if he is a civil official, he is very promising." ”
Li Wuchang said with a smile: "This is the truth, our brigade has the best literary talents, and he often recites poems against us, which opens the eyes of our group of big bosses." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, will he also compose poems when he goes to Jizhou?"
Li Wuchang's old lady's complexion was getting better and better, and she was happy in her heart, and it seemed that she wanted to solve her heart disease in one go, and said casually: "Why not, when I went to Lichun Courtyard with him, he often wrote poems." ”
The old lady was talking about it, and of course Li Wuchang had to do everything he could...... Nonsense.
"What is Lichunyuan?" the old lady wondered.
Li Wuchang pretended to look left and right, smiled cheaply, and said: "Brother Wentong, the kind of Sven people call it Qinglou, and a rough person like me calls him a kiln, we often go there when we are on vacation, that ...... Drink, yes, drink. ”
Everyone's expressions froze, and there were 10,000 horses running by in their hearts.
This Li Wuchang is too good at nonsense, and what he says is too unreasonable, especially his thief-eyed appearance, is it like words?
However, everyone kept in mind Li Wuchang's entrustment and did not dare to speak.
Amazingly, the old lady laughed and said, "Two little villains." ”
The old lady was the daughter of a bandit in the green forest in her early years, and later became the general's wife, so she was not angry, and she felt very happy when she heard her grandson's affair.
Li Wuchang knew this, so he said some interesting things about Zheng Wentong, and tried to make the topic as easy as possible, so as to relieve the depression in the old lady's heart for many days.
smiled at the moment: "Generally, Brother Wentong's poems are very good, for example, again, when he was drunk, he composed a poem on the spot...... Think about it. ”
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, it's such a poem. ”
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. ”
"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. ”
Li Wuchang shook his head and recited this poem, and then said: "How about it, old lady, let me tell you, this poem has established Brother Wentong's status as the first poet in our brigade." ”
As soon as this poem came out, the old lady's eyes lit up and she said with great joy: "This is really my grandson's work?"
The old lady knows poetry quite well, of course she knows the subtlety of this poem, she is happy in her heart, and praises her grandson's literary talent, this poem should be written by a calligraphy master, framed, and let others see it.
Li Wuchang smiled and said, "Then there is still a fake?"
Of course, the others knew that this was not Zheng Wentong's doing, and looked at Li Wuchang with strange expressions.
Guo Yunling secretly wondered, this wouldn't be Li Wuchang's cousin.
Li Wuchang said again: "But sometimes Brother Wentong's poems are also average. ”
The old lady frowned and said, "Oh? What other poems did he compose?"
Li Wuchang took a sip of tea and said: "It's such an old lady, once she was also in Lichun Courtyard, Brother Wentong was in a bad mood, he said that he was homesick, so he made a poem, you listen." ”
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. ”
"Look up at the bright moon and think of your hometown. ”
When everyone heard it, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and it was a good poem, but they didn't understand what Li Wuchang meant, and said that it was not good.
The old lady was puzzled: "This poem is good, why is the little brother bad?"
Li Wuchang said with a thief: "Old lady, listen to my explanation, there was a girl who accompanied Brother Wentong to drink at that time, and her name was Mingyue. ”
The old lady wondered what it meant, what does this poem have to do with a girl's name?
Li Wuchang said: "Old lady, if you listen to me explain the meaning of this poem to you, you will understand." ”
After a pause, he continued: "There is a girl named Mingyue next to Brother Wentong, whose clothes are about to fall off, her skin is like hoarfrost on the ground, Brother Wentong looked up at this Mingyue girl, but when he looked down, he remembered the girl in the Qinglou in his hometown. ”
When everyone heard this explanation, they all laughed.
The old lady also laughed.
Li Wuchang said: "What are you laughing at, is this poem very good?" Brother Wentong looked at the girl in front of him but thought of the girl in his hometown, isn't this eating from the bowl and looking at the pot...... This kind of behavior is very bad. ”
As soon as these words came out, the laughter became louder.
The old lady laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.
Li Wuchang has gradually regained her vitality, and she is relieved in her heart, she has tried her best to talk nonsense, just to let the old lady forget her sadness for a while, and then treat her physical illness, it seems that the effect has been achieved now.
The next step was to diagnose the pulse and cure the disease, so that her body could be restored to health.
