Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 41 The Cat and the Magnolia Hairpin

Russling under the high cabinet...

It was a little wild cat, its fur was a bit dirty, its back was yellow, but its abdomen and four hooves were white. It looked a bit like an orange cat, but its color was more golden. It only poked out a small head and looked at her curiously.

Xin Yi sighed and put down the stick.

"Come out."

The cat fell to the ground, motionless.

One person and one cat are deadlocked.

Looking at each other for a moment, Xin Yi didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"It's you."

She took a straw rope and came over, thinking that the cat would ignore her, but she didn't know that it was a bold cat. With a low "meow", she slowly walked towards the straw rope, but Xin Yi grabbed her back hair.

The cat meowed and meowed, but the struggle was not strong.

"Are you starving?"

Xin Yi hugged it over, ignoring its sharp claws and his body just after bathing, talking to her in a gentle voice.

"Was it you who broke into my donkey cart on the day of the heavy rain?"

"Meow~"

"Little thing, you scared me, but you ran away... Where have you been these days? Look at your dirty body... Oh, lick my hand, good boy, my sister will take you to find something to eat..."

Xin Yi stroked the kitten's soft fur while walking, loving it.

"You will be with my sister from now on, what name should I give you?"

The next day, before Xin Yi could think of a name, San Nian yelled against her name.

"Niang. It's called Niang like us. It can't be called sister—if it's Niang's younger sister, isn't it our cat aunt?"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, almost laughing out his abs.

"Then you three choose a name for your younger sister."

"Rhubarb." One thought was not creative.

"No, it's so small, it should be called Xiao Huang." Er Nian objected.

"Orange. Mother, call her Orange." San Nian was the smallest, fearing that Xin Yi would not notice her, she jumped up and shouted non-stop, and the volume was the loudest.

The three children argued endlessly.

Xin Yi took the herbs, pestle and mortar, and placed them neatly in front of the three little ones.

"Who told me, what is this?"

"Lilac." They said in unison.

"Male, or female?"

The second thought answers the male, the third thought answers the female, and the first thought does not answer.

Xin Yi glared at Er Nian, and then asked, "Is the male bigger, or the female?"

For the third thought, answer "the female is the biggest", for the second thought, answer "the mother is the biggest", and for the first thought, I still don't answer.

Xin Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Er Nian's skinny child, but after thinking about it, he said "Niang Da", so he didn't bother with him anymore, and handed them the fried cloves.

"Whoever grinds the finest clove powder will be named the kitten."

Think three times, and go to work happily.

The second thought was scrambling to get in front of the elder brother, but the first thought was much slower.This child was deep in thought and seldom talked, but at such a young age, he had a calmness that was not commensurate with his age, and he looked like an older brother.

The whole family is noisy.

The smell of the house...

At this time, Xiang Ling's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Cui Langzhong, who are you looking for?"

Then I heard Cui Langzhong ask.

"Is your wife here?"

……

Xin Yi opened the door and walked out without waiting for Xiang Ling to communicate.

"Dr. Cui has something to do with me?"

Cui Langzhong smiled and said, "Come ask for a cup of tea, your courtyard is very unique."

Xin Yi welcomed him into the living room, and the lover brought tea and snacks without saying a word. It was rose water brewed by Xin Yi himself, which was sweet and refreshing. Cui Langzhong took a sip and looked at the uniquely decorated living room, smiling with emotion .

"The little lady has set up her own family, and the days are getting more and more prosperous."

Xin Yi smiled: "Thanks to Dr. Cui's outspokenness, otherwise, I would not be at ease today. Therefore, Dr. Cui does not need to see outsiders, and it doesn't matter if you have something to say."

The ancients had a grumpy temperament and liked to play tricks.

Xin Yi was impatient and went straight to the point.

Cui Langzhong smiled gently, and took out a silk purse from his bosom.

"The old man was entrusted by Commander Cao to serve as a messenger for the young lady. Come by and ask for a safe pulse for the young lady."

Cao Yi?

Xin Yi really didn't expect it, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Cui Langzhong smiled, "Commander Cao said that Miss Cao offended my wife that day at the Yunqi Bridge, and now she has learned her lesson and is thinking about her mistakes behind closed doors at home. Miss Cao asked him to send it to you to make up for it..."

Would Cao Yilan be willing to make amends to her?

I'm afraid I was forced to be helpless.

Xin Yi took it over and saw that there was a hairpin in the purse.

The head of the hairpin is a magnolia carved from suet white jade, gemstones are used as stamens, and silver is used as branches. It is simple and elegant, exquisite in workmanship, so realistic that it seems to emit a faint fragrance...

For some reason, what came to her mind was Cao Yi's clean and handsome face.

"This magnolia hairpin is too precious, and I am ashamed of it. Please tell Mr. Cao that I am not a person who holds grudges. The matter is over, and as long as Miss Cao does not trouble me, I will not provoke her." ..."

As Xin Yi spoke, he pushed back, but Cui Langzhong quickly refused, waving his hands straight.

"The old man is just an errand, entrusted by others, and it is a matter of loyalty. If you give things to the little lady, there is absolutely no reason to take them back..."

"Cui Langzhong." Xin Yi looked at his knuckles and suddenly asked, "Can you play the huqin?"

Cui Langzhong laughed.

"I'm not good at arts, so I'm not very good at it. Why do you ask this question, little lady?"

Xin Yi sat back and smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, you have calluses on your hands."

Xin Yi doesn't know how to play musical instruments, but she was a candidate for an interest class when she was a child. She once learned Erhu for a few days, which is now known as "Huqin".Her erhu teacher had such calluses on her hands, and joked that "people who play musical instruments don't have good hands."

Every instrument has different points of stress and friction.Erhu players, the left hand that presses the strings will leave two marks, and the right hand that holds the bow has thick calluses on the thumb and index finger.

"Doctor Cui."

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked: "In the first year of Qingli, there was a fire in Zhangjia Village. Do you have any impression?"

"The first year of Qingli?" Cui Langzhong seemed startled, frowned and thought for a moment, "Is there such a thing?"

Xin Yi reminded him, "In the north of Zhangjiacun, a family of [-] people, together with the medical hut, were burned down..."

Cui Langzhong raised his head and concentrated, thought for a while, stroked his beard, and nodded.

"It's true. It's been a long time, and the old man is a little fuzzy. Later, the location of the medical house was built into a white pagoda. But in a few years, the white pagoda was hit by a sky thunder. After the damage, people thought it was unlucky, so they didn't know what to do. After repairing, it gradually became dilapidated, and no one set foot in it."

Xin Yi: "The owner of the family that died was Chen Chusheng. He was originally a medical officer in the Imperial Academy. Because he offended the official family, he was demoted and dismissed from office. He lived in seclusion in Zhangjia Village and practiced medicine in a hut..."

Cui Langzhong was shocked: "Where did the young lady know about this?"

Xin Yi smiled, avoided the topic, and stared at Cui Langzhong's face.

"Dr. Chen died too badly. He practiced medicine all his life, a generation of masters, devoted all his life's knowledge, and spent 18 years revising herbal medicine and compiling medical books. The "Briefly Helping All Prescriptions" promulgated by the court this year included his compilation. Medical prescriptions. Such a person who devoted himself to the development of medicine for the country and the people was burned alive..."

Cui Langzhong sighed.

"The scourge has been around for thousands of years, but the lives of good people are short. This has been going on for a long time..."

Xin Yi still said to himself: "Physician Chen has a virtuous wife, a full house of children and grandchildren, and a little daughter who is as painful as a pearl...they all died in the fire.

"The old Wu Zuo of Kaifeng Mansion said that his youngest daughter was raped before her death...but I don't know who did it."

Cui Langzhong pursed his lips, "Why did the little lady talk about this?"

Xin Yi's eyelids drooped.

"As a doctor, I feel the same way. Even if the world forgets him, Dr. Cui shouldn't forget him, right?"

She raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, looking at Cui Langzhong's bluish and white face, "I heard that Cui Langzhong was the first to rush to the fire, and was burned in order to save others... How can I forget such a big thing? "

Cui Lang was stuck.

After a while, he heard a faint sigh.

"Little lady is so smart, this little trick of the old man is really clumsy, it makes the little lady laugh..."
