Xiong Tiannan grinned and said, "Didn't I just report it downstairs, anyway, we and Sister Lan'er will be a family sooner or later, so I don't think we need to worry so much!"

He squinted at Hua Bushi, Zhu Hong and Hai Hongzhu who were standing next to him, but his brows were furrowed, and he said, "How can Elder Yao only talk about me, didn't they all come in?"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Young Master Hua specially came to diagnose the eldest lady, of course you can come in, how can you compare with him." ”

Xiong Tiannan waved his hand again and again and said: "Sister Lan'er is sick, how can you let some incompetent quack doctors diagnose and treat indiscriminately, and the delayed illness will be repaid! ”

Yao Yuanxiao asked, "Which old doctor Hu?"

Xiong Tiannan said: "Of course, it's Doctor Hu Wanchun Hu of the 'Tongji Hall', can Elder Yao still get a doctor who is more Haode than him?"

Hearing the name of "Hu Wanchun", Yao Yuanxiao had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, because he really couldn't find a doctor more Haode than Doctor Hu.

Hu Wanchun, known as the "Miracle Doctor", is over 60 years old, is the owner of the city's largest pharmacy "Tong Ji Tang", and is also the most brilliant physician in Okura Castle. It's just that this Dr. Hu is very greedy for money, and the consultation fee charged for medical treatment is extremely high, and he never goes out to see a doctor, and the patients who want to seek medical treatment from him have to go to the "Tongjitang" by themselves.

Xiong Tiannan made an appointment with the first local doctor to diagnose Sima Rulan, and Yao Yuanxiao had nothing to say.

Xiong Tiannan said: "Sister Lan'er, I have arranged the carriage and horse downstairs, and my sister will go to the 'Tongjitang' with me, and let Doctor Hu treat you!"

He immediately beckoned to the little girl beside the bed and said, "Go and help the eldest lady downstairs, the matter of diagnosis cannot be delayed!"

Hai Hongzhu on the side shouted: "Wait!"

She glanced at Xiong Tiannan and said to Sima Rulan: "I don't know how clever that old doctor Hu is, anyway, Hua Bushi has already come, and my sister will let him take the pulse, there is no harm, isn't it?"

Hai Hongzhu said and beckoned to Hua Bushi: "Why don't you come over and see Sister Lan'er!"

She knew that Hua Bushi's ability might be sparse and ordinary, but she did have some skills in medical skills, so he could rest assured that he would diagnose Lan'er's sister, which was also the reason why Hai Hongzhu ran back to the Bar Sky Tower to find Hua Bushi as soon as she heard that Sima Rulan was sick.

Sima Rulan said: "Lan'er's illness is still not bothered by Mr. Lao Hua. Xiaohong, help me downstairs!"

Xiao Yahuan should claim to be, and stepped forward to help Sima Rulan downstairs.

Xiong Tiannan also walked down with a few "scholars", and this Xiong eldest son couldn't help but say: "Sister Lan'er is doing too right, my sister is a daughter, and if she is sick, she must find a famous doctor to take a look, where can those ninth-rate quacks who can only train dogs be reliable!"

Hai Hongzhu was so angry that her face was flushed, and she was about to refute and quarrel with Xiong Tiannan, but Hua Bushi stretched out her hand and grabbed her. Although he heard Xiong Tiannan say something ugly, the eldest young master had a calm face, not angry at all, but the look of doubt in his eyes increased a little.

Everyone came to the study downstairs, but saw that there was a two-wheeled carriage parked outside the door of the small building, and the girl Xiaohong helped Sima Rulan into the carriage, and Xiong Tiannan sat in front of the car. Under the urging of the "scholars", the coachman whipped and shouted, drove the horse and pulled the carriage, and went straight out of the back garden.

Seeing that the carriage had gone far away, Yao Yuanxiao arched his hand towards Hua Bushi, and said with a slight apology in his tone: "Thank you Young Master Hua for coming here, the eldest lady's personality has always been very stubborn, let Young Master Hua run away, I am really a little sorry, please don't blame her." ”

Hua Bushi said: "What is Elder Yao talking about, the eldest lady of the city lord has helped us to bark at the heavenly tower several times, and she has been more kind to Hua Bushi, I am not grateful, how can I blame her? It's just that I don't know anything and want to ask Elder Yao." ”

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Young Master Hua, please speak." ”

Hua Bushi said: "I heard the eldest son Xiong say upstairs, he and the eldest lady are a family sooner or later, but I don't know what it means?"

Yao Yuanxiao hesitated for a moment before he said: "This matter has not been disclosed to the public, and since Young Master Hua asked, it is inconvenient for me to hide it." A few days ago, the deputy hall master Xiong proposed to the city lord of Sima, and the city lord had already married the eldest lady to Xiong Tiannan. ”

Hua Bushi was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Isn't the city lord Sima not on Okura Island, how can he agree to Xiong Bailing's proposal, isn't the city lord already back to the island?"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "The city lord went to the mainland this time, he should have returned to the island a long time ago, but it was only delayed because of the big storm, and now he is living at a friend's house outside the island, and he will not come back in a few days." Deputy Hall Master Xiong went to the city lord's friend's house and proposed his marriage to Sima City Lord in person, and the city lord agreed, and agreed to hold a marriage ceremony for the two of them after returning to the city. ”

Hua Bushi asked, "Are these things all said by Deputy Hall Master Xiong?"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Yes, Deputy Hall Master Xiong talked about this matter a few days ago, and he also took out a letter agreeing to marry and watched it with us, which is indeed the handwriting of Sima City Lord. ”

Hua Bushi frowned. After listening to what Yao Yuanxiao said today, he knew that Sima Rulan had moved out of the Bar Sky Tower unusually, and she had avoided him as much as possible these days, and even the diagnosis of the disease was the reason why he was not allowed to interfere.

In the past, Sima Rulan could ignore the gossip circulating outside, but now that she has promised to be married, she can't ignore the feelings of her fiancé and her in-laws, which will cause misunderstanding among others.

And the most puzzling thing is the origin of this family business. Sima Zhufeng was stabbed to death in Nanquanzhuang in Yuejing a few months ago, and Hua Bushi had personally examined his body, and it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake. People can't be resurrected after death, and the so-called living in a friend's house is all a fictitious thing, and it is impossible to promise relatives, and the letter of promise must be forged.

Therefore, it is certain that all this was a lie made up by Xiong Bailing, the deputy master of the "Wanjin Hall"! But why did Xiong Bailing make up such a lie? Was he not afraid that Sima would expose the whole deception when he returned to the island? Or did he dare to do so because he had already learned the news of Sima Cheng's death?

These questions instantly appeared in the eldest young master's mind, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a plate of snacks placed on the table.

This is a plate of rush cake, one of the most common desserts in the Jiangnan area, made of glutinous rice and sugar, cut into two inches long, matchstick-thick square thin strips, and decorated with red cinnabar marks at one end, very beautiful. As you can see from the appearance on the plate, there are several pastries that have been eaten.

When he entered the door just now, Hua Bushi had also seen this plate of dim sum, but he hurriedly went upstairs and didn't pay attention to it, but when he saw it again, his eyes were fixed on the vermilion marks on the end of the wick cake.

He walked to the table, picked up a wick cake from his plate, looked at it in front of his eyes, and asked, "Where did this plate of dim sum come from?"

Yao Yuanxiao shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Hai Hongzhu said: "Sister Lan'er loves to eat wick cake the most, this is what people went to 'Qingfeng Garden' to buy, and someone sent it yesterday afternoon." At that time, Sister Lan'er and I were practicing swords in the courtyard, so I asked Yahuan to put it on a plate and put it on the table. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Then have you ever eaten it later?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "I originally wanted to eat, but it was too late after practicing the sword, and I was in a hurry to rush back to the Bark Tower, so I didn't have time to eat." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Fortunately, you didn't eat, otherwise Miss Lan'er would not be the only one who is sick now." ”

Yao Yuanxiao's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Could it be that the eldest lady's illness is because she has eaten this plate of pastries?"

Hua Bushi said: "Have you ever heard of many kinds of strange poisons in the world, and one of them is called 'Rooster San'. This poison is the color of vermilion, like the crown of a rooster, but it has no smell at all, and it is not easy to be detected, even with a silver needle. If a man eats this poison, he will be fine, but if a woman eats it, she will have an unbearable stomachache, as if she is suffering from a sudden illness. ”

He reached out and took the water bottle placed on the table, poured half a cup of water into a teacup, and said: "Although 'Rooster Powder' cannot be detected with a silver needle, if this poison is dissolved in the water, it will immediately turn dark green in color, so it can be tested by this method." ”

Hua Bushi spoke, and put the end of the wick pastry with the vermilion mark into the cup, and sure enough, in an instant, the cup of water had completely turned dark green.

Hai Hongzhu exclaimed: "Ahhh

Hua Bushi said: "Lady don't have to be too anxious, although this poison can be listed as one of the strange poisons in the world, just because it is difficult to test the silver needle, and the toxicity is specific, men and women react differently after taking it, but it is not a very domineering murderous poison." Miss Lan'er's martial artist is famous, and her internal strength is even stronger, even if she eats this poison, she will only feel abdominal pain, and it will not be fatal. ”

At this time, Yao Yuanxiao had already clenched his fists and shouted: "How unreasonable! That 'Qingfengyuan' dared to poison the eldest lady's pastry, it is really bold and impatient! I will send someone to arrest them all!"

Hua Bushi said, "Elder Yao is slow. This matter is really a bit strange, 'Rooster Scatter' is definitely not something that ordinary people can get, it is actually extremely difficult to prepare, and it is worth a thousand gold, even if it is not easy to have poison experts on the rivers and lakes, 'Qingfengyuan' is just a pastry workshop, how can there be such a strange poison. ”

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Young Master Hua is saying that this poison is not under 'Qingfeng Garden'?"
