Da Suining

Chapter 149

Tang Xiaoniang knew the inside story, so naturally she felt sorry for Xiangyan.

That black medicine, that smell, did this damn doctor catch a pack of dung beetles and boil it?
But Xiang Daying and Mrs. Xiang are still staring.

The second bowl of medicine is ready.

The kitchen lady had never been so quick.

Another bowl of dark medicine.

That taste will kill Xiang Yan half of his life.

"This medicine is very bitter, take a look at the prescription." Xiang Suining beckoned, and Mingzhu handed over the prescription. The handwriting was neat, and it seemed that it was prescribed by an unreliable doctor. Those famous doctors in Qingcheng, which one? Isn't writing like ghost drawing?
The doctor's handwriting is neat, and the medicinal materials on it can be easily distinguished.

"Angelica dahurica, ginseng, coptis... no wonder it is bitter. It turns out that there is a lot of coptis, and there is a lot of it." Xiang Suining looked at it seriously: "So there is also a smell of earthworms. Earthworms are slippery and cold. Isn't it grown in the ground and buried in the soil? It can also be used to boil medicine?"

Xiang Yan felt like throwing up before taking the medicine.

earthworm.

There are actually earthworms.

"There are quite a lot of earthworms in this medicine. I used six of them. Fortunately, the dried earthworms were used. Otherwise, the six earthworms would not be swallowed no matter what." Xiang Suining was eloquent.

"So there are earthworms." Madam Xiang calmly supported the chair and rubbed the teacup on the table: "Earthworms are also good medicine, such as giant geckos, leeches, hedgehog skins, pangolins, and ground beetles can also be used as medicine. The third girl’s medicine only has earthworms, so it’s not bad to drink, but the medicine with ground beetle is choking.”

"Grandmother is absolutely right." Xiang Suining pointed at the prescription with his hand, "Sure enough, this wood beetle can also be used as medicine. This prescription also adds wood beetle, but the amount is less, only one."

Earthworms are disgusting enough.

There are ground beetles?

That thing is shiny and greasy, crawling around with a big belly, and the place it crawls has a stench, and now it still needs to be stewed?
Xiangyan felt that she was going to be unable to breathe.

Xiang Suining sat by the bed, and was very concerned about her appearance: "Third sister, just bear with it and drink it."

"You did it on purpose." Xiang Yan replied coldly.

"Who didn't do it on purpose?" Xiang Suining chuckled, "Didn't the third sister do it on purpose?"

"What's the matter between the sisters? Let's talk about it later. Suining should not delay the third girl from taking medicine to keep herself healthy."

"Yan'er, the medicine is cold and it will hurt you to drink it. Drink it quickly so that dad can rest assured."

Although Xiangyan resisted, she couldn't stop drinking, and she couldn't vomit either, because if she vomited, new medicine would be served.

big head.

Xiangyan closed her eyes and opened her mouth, pouring the medicine into her stomach as if drinking poison.

Feeling sick, I can only bear it.

Putting his hand against his chin, he swallowed the medicine that was about to be sprayed out.

"Yan'er has taken the medicine, is it better?" Mrs. Xiang asked with concern: "If this prescription doesn't work, let your father go to the palace tomorrow to invite the imperial physician."

"Grandmother... I'm fine... I'm fine..." Xiang Yan said hastily.

"That's good. It's late at night. Let's go to bed early. It's time for grandma to go back."

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights in Xiangyan's room were on for a long time.

As soon as Mrs. Xiang and the others left, Xiang Yan asked Chun Yu to come forward with a spittoon. She pressed her tongue, trying to spit out the medicine juice, but it was too late, and the medicine juice had already melted into her internal organs.

She knocked down the spittoon angrily, and wrapped herself in it by pulling the curtain: "Mother, what kind of doctor did you hire, what kind of medicine did you prescribe, even if I wasn't sick, I got sick from drinking it."

"Oh, my little ancestor, please keep your voice down." Tang Xiaoniang covered her mouth, looked around vigilantly, and confirmed that there was no one else, and then said helplessly: "The doctor also took the money. Just let him prescribe some health-preserving medicine indiscriminately, but how can he be so serious? This thing that should be digging up the graves of the ancestors will not let him come to the mansion next time."

The mother and daughter can only sigh now.

That doctor is not good at learning, he is just greedy for money, I don't know if his prescription is wrong, or Xiangyan's body is not compatible with his medicine, anyway, that night, Xiangyan vomited and pulled, and tossed all night.

The women and maids serving in the front yard spoke in a slightly lower voice.

"What's wrong with the third girl? This vomiting and pulling is really terrible."

"Last night, Chunyu's face was turned purple by the third girl. I'm afraid it's because the third girl is feeling uncomfortable..."

Xiang Daying went to the palace to invite the imperial physician early the next morning.

It was time for breakfast, Xiangyan didn't come out to eat, she had already vomited and lost her appetite.

The imperial doctor came to look at the prescription, and he said it was a quack doctor. There was something wrong with the prescription.

It's just a night's work, Xiang Yan is already thinner than Huang Hua.

Mingzhu waited on Xiang Suining for breakfast, and when she was leaving the front yard to go to the back yard, she happened to meet Chunyu bringing a bowl of white fungus soup to Xiangyan's bedroom.

Pass by.

Mingzhu whispered: "Girl, last night was really dangerous, I'm really afraid that the third girl won't wake up."

"How could it be? She has always been as strong as a calf."

"Third Miss... will she be okay?"

"How could it be? Didn't daddy go to treat the imperial physician? I'm afraid I have already taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician."

Walking to Chaoshou corridor, I happened to meet the imperial physician.

He is an unfamiliar imperial physician. In the past, most of the people who came to see the doctor were Lu Yu's father Lu imperial physician.

The imperial doctor walked in front, followed by a little eunuch carrying a medicine box.

Both of them looked hurried.

In the past, the imperial physician would also come to the mansion, and first he would do some polite business, check the pulse, prescribe a prescription, and often gossip with Prime Minister Daying.

Counting from the time the imperial physician entered the door to the occasional encounter in Chaoshou corridor, it didn't take half an hour.

The little eunuch's shoes didn't seem to fit well, so he stirred and almost flew out of the medicine box.

"Girl, look at him..." Mingzhu laughed.

Xiang Suining coughed, and carried a pink rose in his hand behind his back.

"This is the second girl, right?" The imperial physician was a little embarrassed: "This... makes you laugh at the second girl."

Xiang Suining blessed the imperial physician, "Why doesn't the imperial physician sit down for a while longer before leaving?"

"I can't sit anymore, I have to go to Changxinhou's Mansion."

Changxinhou Mansion.

Xiang Suining's heart skipped a beat.

"Dare to ask the imperial physician, is anyone in Changxinhou's mansion sick?"

"Yes." The imperial physician sighed and said, "Today the emperor sent two imperial physicians to treat patients in Min'an Hall. Apart from these two, there are two more who need to stay in the palace for errands. Here I am, I met the princess at the gate of the palace, let me finish the work of the prime minister, and go to show Mr. Lan a look."

Xiang Suining's chest felt astringent.

"Mr. Lan... what disease did he have? Is it serious?"

"The princess only said that he went back to lie down last night, and he hasn't gotten up until now. He said that he was very tired. As for where he feels uncomfortable, he will have to check his pulse to find out."

"What is the disease if you are very tired?"

The imperial physician took a look at Xiang Suining.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Suining cared so much about the Changxinhou Mansion.

He thought for a while and said: "Perhaps Mr. Lan is tired, I have to go and have a look, I don't want to keep the princess waiting for a long time."

Xiang Suining hurried out of the way.

Seeing the imperial doctor and the young eunuch go out of the mansion around the verandah, Xiang Suining sat on the railing of the veranda with a lonely expression.

Mingzhu pinched a flower and showed it to her: "Girl, how about this flower?"

It's Phalaenopsis.

It looks like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly.

In the past, Xiang Suining was also curious that this proper plant has developed itself into an animal appearance.But this time, he lost interest: "It's growing there well, what are you pinching it down for?"

Mingzhu stopped talking.

After the imperial doctor came to see her, she just prescribed a medicine, and Xiang Yan recovered from her vomiting and diarrhea. The next morning, before the sun set, she heard her yelling that she was hungry, and she wanted to eat tripe and fried mushrooms, and also to drink millet Porridge.

On the contrary, Xiang Suining was a little dazed when she woke up in the morning. When combing her hair, she clearly held the hairpin in her hand, but she still wanted to look for it.

"You go to Changxinhou's Mansion to find out the situation, the imperial physician will not come to our mansion again, and I don't know how Master Xiaolan is doing." Xiang Suining combed his hair and did not forget to tell Mingzhu: "Be careful."

Before leaving, Xiang Suining gave Mingzhu a tael of silver, stuffed some silver, and it would be convenient to ask the boy at the door for news.

Mingzhu quickly took the silver and went.

But it was time for a stick of incense, and he came back holding the silver.

"Girl..." Mingzhu put the silver on the table.

"What's wrong? Can't you ask?"

Naturally, one tael of silver is not a small number. Even the servants of Changxinhou's mansion can't earn one tael of silver a month, but why can't they give away the silver?
"I respected the girl's order and went to Changxinhou's mansion. The journey was not very peaceful."

"Oh?"

"Many shops along the street are closed, the wind outside is so strong that even the yellow sand is blown up, and the whole Qingcheng is dark yellow. At this time in the past, it was busy, but today there are people walking outside Obviously a lot less, and..."

"Ok?"

"Besides, there are few pedestrians, but there are many doctors. Along the way, I saw seven or eight doctors carrying medicine boxes, and they were robbed by several families."

"Steal the doctor?"

Mingzhu nodded: "Those doctors were almost stuffed into the carriage, and then the carriage flew away. The servant wanted to hire a carriage to make it faster, but Qingcheng couldn't stop the carriage at all. The coachman wandering on the street has gone to nowhere.”

"Where is Changxinhou's Mansion?"

"It was still early when the servant girl walked to Changxinhou's Mansion, but the gate of Changxinhou's Mansion was closed tightly, and the servant girl knocked on the door, but no one opened it."

For a mansion like Changxinhou's Mansion, the door should not be closed in broad daylight.

Even if the door is closed, there should be a servant on duty. If someone calls the door, the door should be opened.

The situation is abnormal.

"The servant saw that no one opened the door of the Changxinhou Mansion, so she didn't dare to knock again. After waiting for a while, the door still didn't open, so the servant wanted to come back and report the news to the girl. Coincidentally, I met a food delivery person."

"The food delivery?"

"The food delivery man carried a basket of watery, green celery, and a basket of clean bean tails. He said they were just picked from the field at dawn, and they were the freshest and sweetest. Changxinhou Mansion I have always eaten the celery he gave me, once every ten days, rain or shine, this time I specially picked some stubble bean tails, the next noodles, and the hot pot are all excellent, and they can be sent to the Changxinhou Mansion, And got scolded."

"Why?"

"The food delivery man said that he delivered the food to Changxinhou's mansion early in the morning, but the doorman didn't let him in. He just asked why, but the boy said, no, no reason, don't do it again. It's annoying, let's go quickly. The peddler feels aggrieved, but he only picked the food from half the city, and he wanted to distinguish it, but another servant directly closed the door, saying that the young master was seriously ill, and that it was a nonsensical thing Can't put it in the house."

The son is seriously ill.

These four words were like a knife, piercing Xiang Suining's heart at once.

It was the imperial physician who treated Lan Fai.

What kind of disease is "seriously ill" in the mouth of the imperial physician?How hopeful is there?
On a full moon night, he is also agile, unparalleled in the world.

What happened to him in this short period of time?
"What else does the peddler have to say? What's wrong with Lord Xiaolan?"

Pearl shook her head.

What the peddler heard, the news about Lan Fai was also inadvertently leaked by the servants of the Hou Mansion.

The Hou's mansion is deep, the door is closed tightly, and the news cannot fly out even if it has wings.

Xiang Suining thought for a long time and decided to ask Lu Yu for help.

After getting off the carriage on the long street next to Lu's mansion, Xiang Suining hesitated for a while.

I was worried that it would be inconvenient for Dr. Lu to talk at home.

It's better to send Mingzhu to inquire about the news first.

Before Mingzhu left, he saw Lu Yu coming back from the outside, travel-stained, his face was dusty, and the cuffs of his water-green wide-sleeved robe were also black.

For Lu Yu who loves cleanliness, this scene is really rare.

"Xiang Er, what are you doing here?" Lu Yu took her by the arm and pulled her into the Lu mansion, regardless of Xiang Suining's willingness or not, he pulled her into the inner hall of the Lu mansion in one breath.

Mrs. Zhuang leaned against the window, rubbed the lychees on the plate, peeled them, and put them into a white lotus-shaped plate.

"Yu'er is back?" Hearing footsteps, Zhuang smiled: "Come and eat some lychees, mother peeled them."

Lu Yu smelled of sweat all over his body.Ah Shui has brought water.

Mrs. Zhuang listened quietly to Lu Yujing's hands, and smiled and pushed the peeled lychees in front of him: "Give this girl some lychees, it's very sweet."

Xiang Suining hurriedly gave Zhuang a blessing, thinking that Zhuang wouldn't see it, but unexpectedly Zhuang's heart was so transparent: "Get up quickly, since you are Yu'er's friend, you don't have to worry about it, ah Water, look at the tea."

Ah Shui brought the tea and sent it to Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining thanked him for the tea, but couldn't open his mouth because of Mrs. Zhuang's presence.

"My mother is not my father. She is very open-minded. If Xiang Er has anything to do, you can talk about it here."

"I... I heard that Lord Xiaolan is ill, and he's still seriously ill..."

"Is Lan Fai sick?" Lu Yu couldn't sit still: "When did it happen? Is it seriously ill?"

"I don't know either. The gate of Changxinhou's Mansion is closed, and there is no news."

"I have to go and see."

Mrs. Zhuang said slowly: "Your father is busy with affairs in the palace. The emperor told him to check the patients' conditions in Min'an Hall. It is difficult to go to Changxinhou's mansion for a while. You can go there. Be more careful."

Xiang Suining was a little embarrassed.

Lu Yu went to Changxinhou's mansion, it was justified, what about her?

Mrs. Zhuang told Ah Shui: "Miss Xiang's dressing up is so inconvenient, go and get a set of autumn clothes newly made for Yu'er's follower, and the wronged second girl will put it on first."

Ah Shui quickly brought a gray-blue robe and a piece of cloth to wrap his head: "Miss Wrong, put it on."
