Chapter 189 Mrs. Cao is sick

"No." Cui Pu coldly refused.

Aunt Zhao also straightened her face. "Why, Mr. Cui Liulang, you have become an official, and your social status is high, so you look down on poor relatives outside?"

"Auntie, don't you know who your brother is? As long as I can remember, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and commits all kinds of crimes. He is a local hooligan! My cousin was taken by him since he was a child, how can he be better? You let me take care of you. When they went to Yangzhou, they planned to let me back them up and let them indulge in unbridled mischief there?" Cui Pu said coldly.

"Did you say that about your own uncle? Huh?" Aunt Zhao blushed, and immediately shouted, "They say that you don't think your mother is ugly or your family is poor, but you are doing well now. My own uncle is not willing to support me?"

"What kind of uncle is he to me? If you have the ability, let him go to the gate of Cui's mansion and call himself an uncle, and see if the porter will open the door to welcome him in?" Cui Pu also raised his voice.

Aunt Zhao was stunned, and immediately sat down on the ground, crying loudly: "I can't live through this day! Mr. Cui Liulang has forgotten his poor relatives when he became an official! My aunt gave birth to him. What's the use? Now I just ask him for a small matter, but he won't agree. It seems that even if he becomes prime minister in the future, I don't expect to please him at all! I'm not alive, I'd better die!"

Mu Jiaojiao's headache was caused by her crying.

Look at Cui Pu, his face is also very ugly.

"What should we do? Or, let's just agree?" She asked in a low voice.

"No!" Cui Pu shook his head resolutely, "I haven't taken office yet, and I've been surrounded by such a big trouble, so it's okay? You haven't seen my uncle and cousin, but look at my aunt. , and double it again, you can think of the virtues of the father and son. If you keep them by your side, isn't that like hanging a big guillotine on your head, and accidentally wiped myself out? ? I'm not that stupid!"

"But my aunt is like this..."

"Let her howl! Normally, I am satisfied with those small things. But now, I will not agree to death!" Cui Pu said, and then shouted at Aunt Zhao's little maid, "One of you Are all of them dead? Didn’t you see that my aunt is suffering? Hurry up and help her back, give her a Qingxin pill, so that she can take care of her and rest. If my aunt is still not recovering until dark, then it’s because you didn’t take good care of her , I will drive you all out of the house!"

The little servant girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hurried forward and dragged Aunt Zhao out without any explanation.

It's just that even though she left, her mournful cry still lingered like a lingering sound, lingering in the ears of the two of them and never dissipating.Mu Jiaojiao's mind was swollen: "I'm tired, I'll go to rest first."

"Well, I'll go to my elder brother's again. He said he still has some things to explain to me." Cui Pu nodded and left with a sullen face.

However, Aunt Zhao's matter is not over yet.

On the second day, Mrs. Cui specially called Mu Jiaojiao over: "Why did I hear people say that Aunt Zhao is sick? She doesn't eat or drink, she just lies on the bed and sheds tears. She is also Liu Lang's aunt after all. Go and show her!"

Mu Jiaojiao felt helpless. "I can't cure my aunt's disease."

As soon as Madam Cui heard it, she knew that the matter was not simple. "How do you say that?"

Mu Jiaojiao mentioned Aunt Zhao's request again, then smiled wryly and said: "Liulang is one head and two children now. He has never been in contact with official affairs before, and he has 1 uncertainties in his heart. Thanks to Uncle's love He gave him two husbands, but how could it be enough? He was too busy looking for people to learn from others, but now his aunt would come to make trouble, and he was almost scared to death. Originally, he was worried that he could not do well. This official, if there are more people around who are not doing business, wouldn’t that hold him back even more? If he does not do well, it is a small matter, but because of this, the people of the county will suffer, and the reputation of the Boling Cui family will also be affected. , then his crime will be serious!"

"It's so unreasonable!" Mrs. Cui became angry after hearing this, "You children are already busy enough, she doesn't come to help you relieve your worries, but she deliberately adds to the chaos, what is she doing for Liu Lang? You don’t need to worry about this matter, Aunt Zhao will let me talk about it, and I will guarantee that she will not have such thoughts again.”

Mu Jiaojiao was overjoyed when he heard the words. "Then the daughter-in-law will thank Auntie first."

I don't know what Mrs. Cui asked someone to tell Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao got up from the bed that night with a grunt, and she could eat food and swallow water.It's just that for several days in a row, she returned all the food that Mu Jiaojiao asked someone to deliver.

It can be seen that she still has a bit of anger in her heart.

However, Mu Jiaojiao didn't have the heart to take care of these things.Because someone came to the door for medical treatment.

The person who came was Mrs. Cao whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Originally, in our identities, we are not qualified to ask Mrs. Liu Shao for help. It's just that my old lady is getting old. Recently, she is always restless and restless, with fever all over her body, so that she can't sleep. Please doctor I read a lot of prescriptions, but they didn't have any effect after eating them. Instead, I became thinner. After taking the Qingxin Pill from Mu's Baicao Hall, I got better. So now, we have to be cheeky and ask Mrs. Liu Shao Show mercy and go show it to my old lady." Mrs. Cao said with a guilty face.

After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao only asked one sentence: "You come to invite me, does Mrs. Cao know?"

Mrs. Cao froze, showing a bit of embarrassment.

Mu Jiaojiao then waved his hand: "Madam Cao has always had a pimple in her heart, and I'm afraid she won't agree to let me treat her. Madam Cao, if you want her to recover soon, you might as well hire another famous doctor."

"No, no, Madam Sixth Young Master, you've got the wrong idea! Of course my old lady is willing to invite you to go! In fact, it's her intention that I come here today to beg you." Mrs. Cao hurriedly said.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this.

"She actually agreed?"

Madam Cao smiled awkwardly. "I'm getting old, and I'm a bit stubborn. It's just about my body, so she won't stick to her old prejudices anymore."

Translated into vernacular, that is, although Mrs. Cao doesn't like her, she won't have trouble with her body.Especially when one gets older, people are more afraid of death.Now that she finds that there is something wrong with her body, how can she care about her prejudices?Naturally, we should grab the best doctor and cure her as soon as possible!

I have to say that this old lady Cao's bones are really too soft.She thought she would hold on to the end!

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips slightly raised: "I have a lot of things on hand recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to go out."

It was because she knew that they were going to leave Chang'an soon, so the old lady Cao was in a hurry. In the past few days, she had been reminding her explicitly and secretly to invite Mu Jiaojiao to see her doctor.Otherwise, what should I do if I can't find a good doctor in Chang'an City to treat her when she leaves?
It's just that the old lady didn't do it properly.He wanted to ask Mu Jiaojiao to come to see her willingly, but he didn't want to lose face, so he shifted the responsibility to the daughter-in-law, and only told the daughter-in-law to invite Mu Jiaojiao here.What can Mrs. Cao do now?In front of Mu Jiaojiao, she could only tell the truth.

"We also know that Madam Sixth Young Master is leaving Chang'an soon. It's just a doctor's parents' heart. Presumably, Madam Sixth Young Master, you will not stand by and watch someone suffer from illness. In the past, our family was disrespectful to you, but now We all know that we are wrong, and I ask Mrs. Sixth to let go of the past and help my old lady take a look!"

This Cao family should include Mrs. Cao and Cao Shu, right?

Although Mrs. Cao treated her badly, Mrs. Cao has always treated her with courtesy.She knew it all too well.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "I can feel Madam Cao's sincerity. It's just that I'm really busy these two days, and I really can't go out. But I probably know the reason for Madam Cao's problems. When the fourth is uglier, enough The liver meridian of Jueyin is flourishing at this time. Her problem is called Chou Shi irritability, which is caused by the stagnation and heat of the liver meridian, which cannot be opened when it is open. The reason why she is getting thinner and thinner is also due to the long-term illness and suffocation of heat. It is caused by yin blood that injures the liver. This is not a big problem, add some Xiaochaihu decoction to dredge the liver meridian, clear away stagnation and heat, and also nourish blood and nourish yin. Take a few doses of this and you will be fine."

As he spoke, he asked Hongdou to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a prescription for her.

Mrs. Cao couldn't help being shocked while holding the prescription: "Madam Sixth Young Master, did you know that my old lady has this problem?"

"Didn't I face-to-face with the old lady when I went to Cao's residence a few times before? At that time, I saw that the corners of her eyes were red and her expression was a little irritable, so I knew that her liver meridian was hot. But if she doesn't get angry indiscriminately, Properly restrain your temper, just take two Yangrong pills and you will be fine. But now it seems that I think things too simply." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Mrs. Cao felt more and more ashamed.

Doesn't she know what kind of temper her aunt is?Because the widowed mother single-handedly raised her son, she is stubborn and aloof.Now that I'm older, I'm going in a more paranoid direction.Everyone in the whole family would be scolded for anyone who didn't follow her wishes, and even Mu Jiaojiao, a guest who came to treat Cao Shu, was troubled by her.Wanting her to restrain her temper is harder than reaching the sky!

And Mu Jiaojiao noticed this sign from the very beginning, but never reminded them, presumably because he was a little bit angry in his heart, deliberately holding back to watch the fun, right?
Now that she can prescribe a prescription to treat Mrs. Cao's illness, it is enough to let go of the past.She really couldn't be more picky.

Knowing in her heart that Mu Jiaojiao was unwilling to enter Cao's house again, she stopped forcing her and quickly left with the medicine in hand.

It's just that when she grabbed the medicine and went back to Cao's mansion, she brought the decocted medicine to Mrs. Cao, and Mrs. Cao threw it away. "Based on what she saw half a year ago, she can know what's wrong with me? You really dare to take the medicine according to the prescription! Aren't you afraid that she will kill me with the medicine?"

Mrs. Cao quickly knelt down. "Miss Liu Shao explained your illness clearly, and there is nothing wrong with it. This medicine must be right for you. And Auntie, have you forgotten? She looked at Thirteen Niang a few times and said Her illness?"

"That's Shisanniang! It's not me!" Old Madam Cao snapped, "I won't take this medicine. You go and invite her here, and let her feel my pulse before we talk!"
