Chapter 196
Because of the medicine donation incident, the relationship between the ships of the Cui family and the Wu family gradually drew closer.

When the next stop was Kaifeng, when they disembarked and took a rest, the Cui family made a few more delicious dishes and sent them to the gentlemen for additional dishes, and the Wu family happily accepted them.

Next, the two sides communicated with each other and became more and more intimate.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.The further south you go, the more congested the river becomes, and the slower and slower the speed of the boat.On the 28th day of the Lunar New Year, they also went to the vicinity of Suzhou.

"It seems that we will spend this year in Suzhou." Cui Pu sighed helplessly looking at the densely packed boats waiting in line ahead.

Before setting off, he thought happily that this year he finally didn't have to participate in the boring and old-fashioned ancestor worship ceremony of the clan.This year, he can live it however he wants!But now, with the days away from home getting longer and longer, he began to miss the ordinary days that he used to take for granted.

Now, the yamen is sealed, father and brother are also going home to prepare for the new year, right?Everyone in the house must be busy with various matters for the Chinese New Year. Auntie, sister-in-law and the others are busy tailoring new clothes, while the brothers are walking around, reciting poems and painting, very lively.After the New Year's Eve, walking around among the various families is even more lively.He was the only one, wandering outside alone, with few people to talk to around him, he suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

But looking back, when he saw Mu Jiaojiao who was still sitting quietly in the cabin reading a book, his heart settled down again.

Go to her and sit down: "What are you looking at?"

Mu Jiaojiao then handed him the book.

When Cui Pu saw it, he suddenly laughed. "I still think that you have been studying medical skills. You have been studying these things all the way through feelings?"

"Isn't it right? It's rare to go out, and it's such a long way, we naturally have to study the customs of these places." Mu Jiaojiao said seriously.

"Well, the best way to study local customs is to start with food." Cui Pu nodded.

Mu Jiaojiao still had such a dignified and calm expression: "I heard from my father before that the Fuliji roast chicken in Suzhou is very famous. It's a pity that I only know the name because it is far away. This time we can ask someone to buy it." Come and try it. Ji County’s horseshoe pancakes, chicken pancakes, steamed buns, etc. are also well-known far and near. If we live in this place for a few days this time, we can ask people to buy them and try them one by one. If It tastes good, so let’s learn how to make red beans, and we can eat it when we want to eat it in Yangzhou.”

Hearing her talking about so many delicacies in one breath, Cui Pu couldn't help swallowing, all kinds of delicacies appeared in his mind, and the homesickness in his heart quickly disappeared.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" He nodded quickly, and he was already thinking about how to enjoy these delicacies.

The boat lined up at the ferry for half a day and finally entered the port.By this time it was already dark.

Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu got off the boat and hurried to the posthouse to stay overnight.When I got up the next morning, I thought of asking someone to buy roast chicken and other things.Of course, Cui Pu did not forget to ask someone to bring a share to the Wu family next door.

A day passed in appreciating food and arranging meals for New Year's Eve.

It's winter now, even though they went all the way south and the temperature is slightly warmer than before, Mu Jiaojiao is still extremely cold.So seeing that the sky was getting dark, she quickly got into the quilt, holding a stove in her hand and refused to let go.

Cui Pu didn't have anything to do, so he also got into the quilt, hugged her and used his body to keep her warm.As for the stove... I already have him, so what do I need this dead thing for?Throw it aside quickly!

It's just that it's still early, and I can't fall asleep even if I want to sleep for a while.The two of them were so sticky together, and Cui Pu was even more obscene, so the two of them became entangled without knowing it.

Hongdou and the others didn't dare to stay indoors too much, they just warmed up in the warm pavilion next to them, chatting with Xiao Si'er at the same time.

bang bang

There was a sudden knock on the door outside.Xiaosi quickly went to open the door: "What's the matter?"

"Little fourth brother, a couple came outside and said they came to seek medical treatment. Do you think we should tell Mr. Liu Lang and Mrs. Liu Shao about this?" the guard at the door whispered.

"Seeking a doctor? Why would someone come to my lady for medical treatment in this place?" Xiao Si'er's expression darkened.

The servant said: "They were brought by the people from Mr. Wu Erlang's side."

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Si'er suddenly understood, "Okay, I understand, you go and bring the man in, and I will report to the gentleman and the lady."

The servant quickly agreed to go.

Xiaosi'er and Hongdou went to knock on the door together.

Cui Pu was having a lively quarrel with Mu Jiaojiao, but he was interrupted by a knock on the door when he didn't want to, and he was in a bad mood. "What's the matter? If you don't tell me why, I will beat you to death right now!"

"Mr. Lang, Mr. Wu Erlang sent someone to bring a couple over, saying that he was asking his wife to help treat his illness." Xiao Si'er trembled, and quickly explained what he said concisely.

Cui Pu suddenly lost the mood to play around. "This man surnamed Wu is really rambunctious. We eat and drink for nothing these days, but he still keeps a straight face with me all day long. Today is better, and tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. I'm looking for something!"

He could guess Wu Lixin's thoughts: Isn't it just to find bad luck for them when they bring patients to their door during Chinese New Year?If Mu Jiaojiao cured him, that's what she should do.If she can't cure it, not only will all of them feel unlucky, but Wu Lixin can take the opportunity to make trouble again!
They are all officials, why are they still so narrow-minded?
After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao smiled and said: "You have been in the limelight along the way, and the gentlemen of the Wu family have been comparing him to you, and they are all picky about Mr. Wu Erlang. He must hate you in his heart. You are dead. Now it is so easy to seize an opportunity to find trouble for you, how could he let it go?"

"I understand what he's thinking, but it's just that this way of doing things is too low-handed. Does he care about the New Year's Eve?" Cui Pu said coldly.

"As far as it goes, he has already done it. Now let's hurry up and show it to others. If we can save someone's life, it is also a good deed for ourselves. It is best for everyone to live in peace during the Chinese New Year." Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly gave He is smooth.

Cui Pu pouted. "It's the only way to do it now."

The two called people to come in, changed their clothes and combed their hair, and then went forward.

After entering the front hall, I saw Wu Lixin's steward came forward to salute with a smile on his face: "Mr. Cui Liulang, Mrs. Liu Shao, it's our fault for bothering you two late at night. It's just that my husband saw this old lady sick in other places." But the invited doctor said it was hopeless, causing the two of them to hug each other and cry, it looked really pitiful. The gentleman couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to help them, so he thought that Mrs. Liu Shao was very skilled in medicine, maybe she would have The solution is to order someone to bring them here to seek medical treatment. Please also show mercy to Mrs. Liu, and help our lord, save this big lady!"

Well, what he said was really cheap.He, Wu Lixin, wanted to do good deeds, but let the Cui family members take action.It's done, they helped the surname Wu, and the credit goes to Wu Lixin.If they don't do well, the Cui family will be responsible for the mistakes. Wu Lixin's kindness is always right.So regardless of whether things are successful or not, Wu Lixin's good reputation has already been taken over, only Mu Jiaojiao, who works hard, is not a human being.

Cui Pu was not very happy at first, but hearing what the manager said, he was even more furious.

"Wu and Er? Since he wants to do good things, why not let him come and beg us to help? Is my wife only qualified to let you be such a manager?"

The steward turned pale, and quickly confessed. "My lord is not feeling well..."

"He's not feeling well, and he still wants to do good deeds? Then why not let him do good deeds to the end? After half a month, what serious problems can he have? If there are really problems, let my wife treat him by the way. See For the sake of our journey together, no money will be charged from him!" Cui Pu said coldly.

The steward was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, so he could only whisper: "We didn't think carefully about this matter. I'm going to invite my husband right now."

"Hurry up and get out!" Cui Pu said viciously.

The steward didn't dare to say anything else, so he hurriedly turned around to invite Wu Lixin.

And when Cui Pu was teaching the steward, Mu Jiaojiao had already walked up to the couple and carefully observed the woman's symptoms.

And the middle-aged man has been holding the woman tightly, his face is full of tension.He looked at Mu Jiaojiao with eyes full of hope, but said on his mouth: "Please help my lady to take a look. If you can see it well, we are very grateful. If you can't, it's okay, we will leave immediately, and we will never defile you. gate."

While talking, he also wiped the forehead and cheeks of the lady in his arms with a wet handkerchief.That movement was very gentle and careful, it seemed that the couple had a very good relationship on weekdays.

Seeing this, Hong Dou was also inexplicably moved, and quickly whispered: "My lord, don't worry, my wife is good at medicine. If the eldest lady can be saved, my wife will definitely not stand idly by."

Mu Jiaojiao observed the woman's face, felt her pulse, and suddenly said: "Can you untie her clothes and show me?"

The middle-aged man was startled. "Undress?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "I want to make sure. If it turns out to be what I expect, then I know how to prescribe."

When the middle-aged man heard her say 'how to prescribe the medicine', he immediately nodded as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "Little lady, you can watch it if you want. As long as it can save her life, you can look anywhere you want!"

Mu Jiaojiao called Hongdou to help.Seeing this, Cui Pu and Xiao Si'er hurried out.

After unbuttoning Madam's clothes layer by layer, and seeing the innermost clothes she was wearing, Mu Jiaojiao finally nodded: "It's true."

"Little lady, do you know what's wrong with my lady?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.

"She's not seriously ill, it's just heatstroke." Mu Jiaojiao said.

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the middle-aged man was stunned, even Cui Pu and Xiao Sier outside were also stunned.

Wu Lixin just rushed over, and he laughed even more when he heard this: "Madam Liu Shao is really a miracle doctor. In this winter, she can even diagnose symptoms of heatstroke. I think the doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital will be willing to bow down!"

"Shut up!" Cui Pu became angry when he saw him, and immediately chose to side with Mu Jiaojiao, "My wife said she had heatstroke, so that's heatstroke!"

"That's good, I would like to ask Mrs. Sister-in-law to explain, how did this lady suffer from heatstroke in this cold day?" Wu Lixin said in a strange way, clearly looking like he was waiting to see a good show.

Mu Jiaojiao ignored him, but asked the middle-aged man: "Before you asked the doctor to show her, did the doctor say that she has the summer pulse in winter, and she will definitely die?"

"That's the way to say it!" The middle-aged man nodded quickly.

When Wu Lixin heard this, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief—this woman actually guessed exactly what the doctor said!It was precisely because of this sentence that he thought of sending people here to cause trouble for them.

It's just that now it seems that there is something else hidden?
He couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and suddenly wanted to run away.
