Da Suining

Chapter 155
"Saving Mrs. Xiaolan, I didn't do it for money." Xiang Suining looked at Lan Fai, the past was vivid in his memory, she fell into the water and almost drowned, he was the one who fished her out, dried her and brought her back.She was hijacked by someone with a knife, and it was him who rushed forward desperately. If it wasn't for him, Xiang Suining might have become a wandering soul: "Master Xiaolan has saved me in danger many times. I want to save him. From the bottom of my heart, but I am not good at medicine and I don’t read many books, I just happened to hear that Master Lan used to be in Zangshuge...so I took the liberty to come here and try.”

"Chang Xinhou used to work in the Palace Library Pavilion, just a small official, so I had to go through a lot of troubles in order to marry him. Half of the people in Qingcheng should know about this. Now, to save Tuer, What does it have to do with Chang Xinhou?"

"I heard that the library in the palace has the largest collection of books. The famous books of ancient and modern times, classics, calligraphy and paintings are all in it. Some books have been handed down for countless generations, and the folks absolutely don't have them."

The princess knows about Chang Xinhou.

As for the collection of books, the princess knew very little.

She didn't like reading at birth, and all the princes in the palace were studying. As a princess, she was taught that "a woman who has no talent is a virtue."

Now Xiang Suining asked, but the princess couldn't answer, so she had to send someone to invite Chang Xinhou.

Chang Xinhou is leaner and looks like a cautious person. Because of Lan Fai's illness, he has not slept for several nights, and the dark circles under his eyes are like green jujubes.

Xiang Suining saluted him, exchanged a few words, and then went straight to the point.

"Master Lan was working in Zangshu Pavilion back then. Do you remember that there are any medical books in Zangshu Pavilion? I think that since ancient times, good doctors and prescriptions have been recorded in medical books. Now the imperial doctors are helpless. If we can If you find any good medical books, maybe there is a prescription to cure the plague." Xiang Suining looked at Lan Fai eagerly: "Master Xiao Lan is in a critical condition, if there is a prescription in the medical book, it may be curable, I think about it Go, it seems that there is only one way."

The collection of books in the palace cannot be more.

I still remember Lan Yong, who was secretly read by the princess in the library, and couldn't see his face clearly through the bookshelves. There were too many books.

Although Lan Yong is a literati, he has read many books in Zangshuge, but he is not a doctor. Even if he reads medical books, he will find them boring and will not pay too much attention.

"Although there are many books in Zangshuge, there are also medical books, but they are useless." Lan Yong sighed: "Recently, the imperial physicians also went to Zangshuge to look for them and moved out those old medical books. A long time ago, according to the historical records, in the past dynasties, some people were unfortunately infected with the plague, although the imperial physicians read those books, they did not research any useful prescriptions."

It turns out that the medical books in Zangshuge have been reviewed by the imperial physician.

Perhaps, turned over more than once.

Xiang Suining originally wanted to find some method from the medical books in Zangshuge, but unfortunately, some people got there first and found it useless.

Suddenly there was thunder at the window.

Autumn thunder rumbled, and lightning struck the window.

Begonia flowers fell from the branches, and were carried by the wind and fluttered under the corridor, as if they had grown feet.

The winter jasmine vines hanging on the hanging flower gate also swayed with the wind, as if ghosts were exerting their strength behind their backs.In spring, the winter jasmine on the hanging flower gate can keep blooming along the white wall, to the front yard, to the screen wall, full of vitality, and can be chopped with a machete. Now that the autumn wind blows, those flowers will all fall , the remaining rattan was also torn by the wind, as if it was about to break.

There was a gust of wind, and the sky darkened.

It was still early, but the sky was getting dark, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, gathering more and more, almost pressing down on people's heads.

It rained in less than a cup of tea.

The rain was as big as a copper coin, and when it hit the banana leaves, the banana leaves shook.

The row of banana leaves under the porch was washed black and shiny by the rain, as if they had been oiled.

The boys were busy tying the horse. The horse was frightened and lost its temper in the backyard.

The women were sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard with dustpans, and the dustpan was half-full when the rainwater made them unable to lift their heads. When they looked again, the dustpan was half full of water.I had to wait for the rain to stop in the corridor.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the sky and the earth were vast. Gradually, the rain curtain wrapped the people, flowers, and trees in the Hou Mansion, and nothing could be seen, like a cloud of white fog.

The maid ran up and closed the window to keep the rain out, but the moisture from the heavy rain on the grass still flooded into the house, and it was useless to close the window and door.

That humidity, mixed with the fragrance of grass, is the smell of life.

Xiang Suining didn't want to believe that Lan Fai would be like that flower, which would die with the wind without saying a word.

It was raining and the air was a little stuffy.

Princess Guo felt breathless in her heart: "I understand Miss Xiang's kindness. Since the medical books in Zangshuge are useless, maybe God wants to take me away."

"May I ask the princess, what kind of dowry did you have when you married Lord Hou?"

this problem.

A bit tricky.

Everyone in Qingcheng knows that when the princess gets married, the original dowry is almost ten miles of red makeup.

There are countless boxes of gold, silver, and jade wares in the palace, and there are hundreds of silk and cloth.From the green horse car set jade piece that is the only one in the whole country, to the rare flower seeds sown in spring, there are all of them.

When the princess got married, the dowry she brought dazzled the onlookers, and the servants in the mansion carried it to the warehouse for a whole day.

"I remembered." The light in the princess's eyes jumped for a moment: "I rarely went to see the dowry when it was carried to the treasury of Marquis Changxin's mansion. You must know that Marquis Changxin and I have a salary and a reward every year. When the dowry money was very little, and it was only during the New Year and holidays, I went to look at the account book and listened to the report of the account of the Fuchu account for the year. I remember that there were two or three boxes, which were rewarded by the Queen Mother. Yes, to be honest....Being outside the palace is no better than being in the palace. You don’t have everything. It’s good to have no shortage of gold and silver. Some books can be left to the children of the next generation. After all, the books in Zangshuge are all rare editions. .”

"As soon as the princess said it, I also remembered that it was two or three boxes of books that were brought in back then. I was only thinking about letting Tui'er practice martial arts to strengthen her body, and let Nan'er learn embroidery as a female worker, so I forgot about the books." Blue Yong patted his forehead: "I'll tell my servants to bring those boxes over. If there are any good medical books, it's really a blessing from the ancestors."

Lan Yong didn't care about opening the umbrella, so he led his servants to the storeroom. The princess leaned against the door and shouted: "Remember to cover the box with an oilcloth, so as not to get wet."

Here the princess clasped her hands again, knelt down in front of a Jade Guanyin statue on the bogu shelf and kowtowed so sincerely that even the servant girl couldn't bear it: "Princess, please take care of yourself, the princess's head is almost broken."

"If Tui'er's illness can be cured, it's nothing if I kowtow to the head, but please bless the Bodhisattva, and bless my dowry with medical books. If I get any prescriptions that can cure Tui'er's illness, I am willing to eat fast and chant the Buddha's name. Burn incense and kowtow to the Bodhisattva three times a day."

The door curtain opened.

A gust of wind and a gust of rain drifted in.

After going back and forth to the warehouse, Lan Yong was completely soaked.

The maid handed him a dry towel and wanted him to wipe it off, but he didn't care. Instead, he took a dry towel to wipe the raindrops on the outside of the three boxes.

Regardless of looking for the key, Lan Yong took a knife from the weapon rack and slashed at the lock on the box, and the lock fell off.

Everyone's hearts reached their throats.

The first box is a box of books about ancient myths, mixed with a dozen books of ancient ghost stories, a dozen books of fairy trees and grasses, and ancient birds with drawings.

The second box is a box of calligraphy, paintings and copybooks, which are all made by celebrities and refined scholars from all dynasties and generations, and are worth thousands of gold.

Although the first two boxes are valuable, they are almost worthless to the Changxinhou Mansion.

When opening the third box, Princess Guo's heart ached. It seemed that this box was about Lan Tui's life and the fate of the entire Lan family.She hardly dared to open her eyes, so she quietly turned her back.

Xiang Suining felt that she was walking near the abyss, if she was not careful, her feet would go limp, and she would fall into the cliff without leaving her bones, and the box that made her bones disappear was right in front of her eyes.

What kind of anxiety is that.

Over the past many years, Xiang Suining still remembers that heart-pounding feeling.

The third box, when opened, contained the Book of Changes, the Eight Diagrams, some books read by alchemists, and some calculations of the trajectories of the sun, moon, and stars. Such inscrutable books were only available in the palace.

Princess Guo glanced at it, then fell back to the bed, and remained silent for a long time.

"It's useless, God will not guarantee that I will fade away." Lan Yong's face was ashen, but he still pretended to be calm: "You take the books back to the warehouse."

He didn't want the princess to be sad when she saw it.

The servant of the Hou's mansion came to carry the box swiftly, but Xiang Suining stopped him: "Wait a minute."

The boy backed away.

"Miss Xiang?"

"These books...I want to look through them carefully."

"Turn it over." Princess Guo lowered her head, her voice was so low that she could barely hear it, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, every drop was dripping on her heart, her heart ached so badly, every breath was painful.

These books are Lan Fai's only hope.

Xiang Suining didn't want to let go of any hope.

Although she also knows that this hope is very slim.

She knelt down silently, and took out the books one by one from the box. At the end of the third box, there were actually two books, which were medical books.

Xiang Suining's heart skipped a beat, she was afraid of making a mistake, so she read it carefully again, and it was true, it was a medical book.

She took out a handkerchief to clean her hands, and carefully took out the last two books and put them on the small table.

Out of the corner of the princess's eye, she saw the medical book, and she was in high spirits: "Isn't this a medical book? There is no unparalleled road, can I be saved?"

"Princess... these are just medical books. There are many medical books like this in the palace, so they may not be useful." Lan Yong pulled back her flustered mind.

"It's a good thing to have medical books." The princess wrapped the medical books in a layer of oilcloth herself, and packed them in a brocade box: "I'm going to the palace now, and show the medical books to the imperial physicians, let them see, what's there?" There are no prescriptions available."

"But it's still raining outside."

"Compared to Tu'er's life, rain is nothing, even a knife won't stop me from entering the palace." While speaking, Princess Guo had someone prepare a carriage, and sat in the carriage, "da da da" Go in the direction of the palace.

An hour later, the princess returned slumped.

The box containing the medical books was also brought back.

When I went there, the brocade box was like a treasure. The princess was afraid of getting wet when she held it in her arms. straight.

The princess's shoes were all wet, and the skirt was full of muddy water.

Such a man of gold and jade is now like a drowned rat, and the delicate bun in the past is now wet from the rain, and it sticks softly to the scalp.

Everyone can guess what happened.

Lan Yong knew it well, so he could only comfort her: "The princess has done her best, and life and death matters cannot be forced."

"How can you say such a thing, you are his biological father." The princess hugged Lan Yong's arm and cried: "How can you say the same thing as the emperor."

"Princess……"

"I went to the imperial doctor and asked them to read the medical books. In these two medical books, there are indeed prescriptions for curing the plague." The princess sighed: "I said that it is good if there is a prescription, and if there is a prescription, just prescribe it, the imperial physician However, he said that this prescription cannot be prescribed, and that the age of these two medical books is unknown, and the person who wrote them cannot be tested. Moreover, this prescription is not an ordinary prescription. They have been imperial physicians for decades, and their ancestors have some I'm also an imperial doctor, but I've never heard of such a prescription, so someone must have written this medical book indiscriminately, so I'm not sure."

"What kind of prescription is it? The princess told me to listen."

"It is said... to take human blood, fresh blood, and feed it to patients."

"What's so difficult about it." Lan Yong pulled out Lan Tui's knife and pressed it on his wrist: "Emperor doctors may cherish life, but I am Tui'er's father, and I am willing to feed him my blood. How much does he drink?" , How much will I give?"

"It's useless." The princess shook her head: "This medical book says that drinking the blood of ordinary people will make the disease worse, and it is not beneficial to the patient at all. There is a kind of people, called medicine people in ancient times, whose blood , can bring people back to life, more effective than panacea, but there are so many people, where can I find the so-called medicine man? According to the book, this medicine man, or his ancestors knew medical skills, or drank too much medicine when he was a child, his body has its own medicinal properties , there is another kind, it is born, but there is no writing on the person's face... The imperial doctor didn't believe the words of the medicine man at all, the imperial doctor said... There is only medicine in this world, medicine can cure diseases, and medicine for people is just a legend. "

"I'm willing to find a medicine man for Lord Xiaolan." Xiang Sui Ning blessed him.

The princess was taken aback.

She was arguing with the imperial physicians about the medicine man, although the imperial physicians didn't refute her very much, they probably felt that the princess was bewildered.

Only Xiang Suining, a weak woman, believed her at this time.

"Do you believe in medicine men?"

Xiang Suining nodded: "Princess can look for the medicine man, and I will look for it too. If I find it, I will bring it to the Marquis' mansion."
