Chapter 422 Husband and wife threatened together
"Can't wait so soon?" Pei Jinglue teased.

"Yes!" Cui Pu responded generously, "If I were the only one here today, of course I wouldn't be afraid. You will torture me to the end! But now, my wife and children are locked up in the backyard of your house. How can I sit still? Naturally, I hope to solve the matter quickly."

"Oh? But didn't you disdain Yu Ji just now?" Pei Jing slightly asked with a smile.

"Can Concubine Yu compare with my wife?" Cui Pu's lips curled up in disdain.

Pei Jinglue became even more interested. "In your opinion, your wife is stronger than Yu Ji?"

"That is. If she encounters the situation of Gaixia, she will definitely not cry and dance there. Either she will help me make suggestions, or she will just hand me a big knife and let me go into battle to kill Enemy! After I die, she will raise my son well and let him help me fulfill my unfulfilled wish."

"It seems that you have a very high opinion of her!" Pei Jing slightly sighed, and a heroic figure appeared in front of his eyes.

"She deserves it," Cui Pu said.

Indeed, based on the information he got, Mu Jiaojiao was indeed worthy of his respect.However, it still surprised Pei Jinglue to praise his wife so much in front of a person whom he met for the first time, regardless of whether his man's face would be damaged by it.

It seems that this man really loves his wife badly.

Mu Jiaojiao... Pei Jinglue envoy was thinking of this name in his heart.After a while, he also has to deal with her.

At the end, he raised his smiling face again: "Well, since you want to make a quick decision, then let's make a quick decision. Prefect Cui, you should know why I invited you here."

"You want to get your grandson back, right?" Cui Pu nodded, "It's fine if you want to get him back, but you have to promise me one condition."

"You said."

"I would like to exchange you, grandson, with two people who are familiar with Lingnan's terrain and the ways of the world. It would be even better if they have experience in dealing with Hu merchants."

"You kid will make demands!" Pei Jinglue couldn't help sneering after hearing this, "It's not a good deal for me to replace a mere grandson with a talent that I have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate."

"If you don't want to, that's fine. Anyway, Mr. Jiulang of your mansion is fine living in the dungeon of the government office. The lower official has already taken care of the prison leader. He will definitely take good care of him, and he will not be short of food and drink. When you have figured it out and are willing to change, it will not be too late for us to change. No matter when, I promise to return you a complete grandson!" Cui Pu said immediately, without forcing at all.

If he insisted, Pei Jinglue might feel better.In the end, who knew that he would change his words so quickly, even envoy Pei Jinglue couldn't help vomiting blood silently in his heart.

"Prefect Cui, are you threatening this old man?" He suddenly turned his face down, and said gloomyly.

"You don't have the guts!" Cui Pu hurriedly waved his hand to show his innocence, "It's just that the official is new here, and he is planning to use this to establish his prestige! The economic strategy tells you that if you want the official to be obedient, you must give the official enough It’s only for the benefits! Otherwise, why would the lower officials risk being stabbed in the back by the people to do such thankless things?”

"Haven't you already asked people to post notices everywhere, with Jiulang's portrait everywhere?" Pei Jinglue said coldly.

Cui Pu spread his hands. "Didn't you see the portrait that Xiaguan specially asked someone to send to the mansion? Do you think the man in the portrait is a little similar to Mr. Jiulang in your mansion?"

Envoy Pei Jinglue couldn't help but gasp. "You have calculated everything!"

"I can't help it, the official said. I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the place, so I have to quickly find some support for myself." Cui Pu smiled innocently.

"The old man sees that you don't seem to be looking for support for yourself, but looking for an enemy!" Pei Jinglue complained angrily.

"Is there? Could it be that Jinglue has made you so angry that you want to kill the lower official?" Cui Pu blinked quickly, his long face matched with an innocent expression, he was as harmless as a big lady.

"If possible, the old man would like to kill you now!" Pei Jinglue was well-informed, so he could not fall for his tricks.

Cui Pu laughed, and hurriedly got up to salute him: "Thank you, sir, for envoy Pei Jinglue not killing me!"

"Enough is enough!" Pei Jing waved his hand impatiently.Against this kid, he didn't expect him to lose in the first round.

He finally understood why his son and grandson would all fall under his hands.With such a cunning little man like a loach, I accidentally fell into his trap, not to mention my two young gentlemen who have been pampered since childhood?
There is really no comparison between this person and this person.

He sighed inwardly, his mouth softened. "When I turn back, the old man will send him to your house."

"You guys tonight, I will send someone to bring Mr. Jiulang back to you!" Cui Pu also responded readily.

Pei Jing slightly nodded, and suddenly changed the subject: "Now, are you worried about your wife?"

"A little bit." Cui Pu nodded honestly.

"If that's the case, then go and see her! By the way, I also want to see what this woman is like, who in your opinion is even more brilliant than Yu Ji!"

Tch, if you are curious about my wife and want to see her, just tell me, why bother in the name of helping me?
This old man is not frank enough.

Cui Pu thought in his heart, but at least he got a chance to meet Mu Jiaojiao as soon as possible, so he quickly and happily agreed, and followed Pei Jinglue to go out.

Envoy Pei Jinglue walked in front, and Cui Pu followed closely behind.The two of them walked all the way, and saw the female relatives at home rushing here in twos and threes.Seeing them, the female relatives quickly stopped and saluted.

"Where are you going?" Pei Jinglue asked.

"I heard that there are guests coming to the house, let's go see them." A young lady hurriedly said.

Pei Jing slightly frowned.But he never liked to take care of the affairs of the inner house, let alone talk to the female dolls, so he just nodded and let them go.

Walking outside Mrs. Pei's courtyard, they heard the voice of a woman chattering inside.Go in and have a look... Well, almost all the female relatives in the mansion are gathered here!
His brows were immediately wrinkled tightly.

The nurse next to Mrs. Pei hurried forward and explained: "Mrs. Cui Zhifu came to visit the old lady just now, but she saw at a glance that the old lady had a certificate of insomnia. Then she gave the old lady a few needles on the spot, and then the old lady Immediately, I felt sleepy, and I am still sleeping! The first madam and the fifth madam met, and they also begged her to show me. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui Zhifu saw something wrong. Then they called someone to go They invited the Fifth Lady and the Sixth Lady. Somehow, the news got out, so everyone has come to ask Mrs. Cui Zhifu to show everyone. Now Mrs. Cui is giving the needle to Seventh Lady!”

When Pei Jinglue heard this, he was immediately annoyed and funny.

"Aren't there few famous doctors in this world? Dr. Zhao will come to ask them for a pulse every month, and I've never seen them be so eager!"

Although Dr. Zhao's medical skills are superb, he is still far behind Mrs. Cui Zhifu!Otherwise, the old lady's insomnia syndrome has been treated for him for these years, and he hasn't seen much improvement.But Mrs. Cui Zhifu just got a few injections, and she fell asleep.This immediate effect, how can we not make everyone's heart beat?And just now, Mrs. Cui Zhifu discovered many small problems in everyone!She even noticed her old stomach problems for many years, and quietly asked the maid to stuff her with a pack of medicine.

Mammy thought about it, but didn't say it.She knew that envoy Pei Jinglue didn't like to hear such trifles.

However, knowing that the old wife was finally able to sleep peacefully, Pei Jinglue was still a little excited, so he hurriedly walked inside.

Mrs. Pei fell asleep in the warm pavilion to the east.The juniors didn't dare to disturb her, so they just lined up in the side room next to Mu Jiaojiao to see a doctor, while the eldest lady and the fifth lady guarded Agu outside the screen.

Seeing Pei Jinglue come in, the two daughters-in-law stood up quickly.Envoy Pei Jinglue walked around them and walked behind the screen, and he saw Mrs. Pei lying on the couch with her eyes closed and breathing evenly.

Seeing her calm face, she seemed to be sleeping well.

He quickly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out lightly, and then asked his daughter-in-law: "How long have you been sleeping, Auntie?"

"Up to now, there is enough time for a meal." The eldest lady hurriedly said.

It's not easy!It should be noted that in the past two years, Mrs. Pei can hardly sleep peacefully every night.It's easy to fall asleep, and you will wake up in less than a cup of tea, and then there is a long struggle between wanting to sleep but not being able to fall asleep.This time Mu Jiaojiao was able to make her sleep for such a long time, and she still hasn't woken up until now, which is enough to prove her superb medical skills.

Pei Jinglue nodded in satisfaction: "Then let her continue to sleep well!"

He lifted his feet out of the Nuan Pavilion and walked to the side room.

But he didn't go in, he just stood outside and listened to the movement inside.

Envoy Pei Jinglue is a martial arts practitioner, so his hearing is naturally good.Through a door panel, he clearly heard Mu Jiaojiao say: "Aren't you allowed to eat pasta, chicken, duck, fish and other meat dishes, and you can't drink hot water. Once you touch one of them, you will immediately feel your chest and abdomen burning. Do you have to drink cold water to feel better?"

"Madam Zhifu, you are amazing! Just by taking the pulse, you can clearly feel my symptoms!" A little lady responded quickly, her voice full of surprise.

But right away, her voice dropped again: "Because of this problem, I have been suffering all these years. I have consulted many doctors and taken many medicines, but nothing has worked."

"It's okay, I'll prescribe you a Bupleurum Yin Chenhao Soup, and you'll be fine after taking seven doses according to the prescription." Then a soft voice came, it should be the lady Cui Pu was thinking of.

Pei Jinglue couldn't help turning his head to look at Cui Pu, and saw Cui Pu smiling at him, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

How could he trust his wife so much?Pei Jinglue was startled, but an idea came to his mind immediately.

Just when the little lady in the room was thanking Mu Jiaojiao for her kindness, he strode into the door and asked loudly: "Since you figured out what disease she has, do you know the cause of this disease?"

When Mu Jiaojiao turned her head, she saw that the young ladies in the room all got up to salute one after another.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly followed to greet her.

But Pei Jinglue kept staring at her: "Tell me, how did my eighth lady get this disease?"

"It should be three years ago, after she took a bath, she sweated too much, ate some irritating fruit, such as citrus, and then suddenly felt burning in her chest and abdomen, and then she fell into this disease. Since then, she has felt dry mouth and throat, abdominal distension and so on every day." Mu Jiaojiao said slowly.

Eighth Lady Pei immediately yelled 'Ah'.

"It's really like this! I still remember that the tangerines were specially given to my grandfather by a Hu merchant in Persia. Grandfather, you asked someone to share them with us, so I divided them into two. The taste is really good! I broke out in a sweat after taking a bath. , I felt uncomfortable, so I ate the citrus."

When the other female relatives heard this, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Jing slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and then stretched out his hand to Mu Jiaojiao: "Since Mrs. Cui Zhifu is so skilled in medicine, then let's take the old man's pulse too!"

After that, he closed his eyes and didn't care about anything.

Is this planning to say nothing and let Mu Jiaojiao see it by himself?
Cui Pu smiled coldly, and stood quietly by the side without speaking.

Mu Jiaojiao came forward and raised his hand to feel his pulse.She worked carefully for about one cup of tea, and then switched from left hand to right hand for another cup of tea.Its level of care is not the same as treating other people.

Seeing this, the female relatives couldn't help but hang their hearts high.

After all, Mu Jiaojiao took their pulse just now, and the longer it took, the more serious the disease would be.Now that she has been used by Pei Jinglue for so long, it must be...

After finally retracting his hand, Mu Jiaojiao said: "Pei Jinglue made you practice martial arts all the year round. It is not easy to keep your body like this at this age. But you still have more old injuries. For example, you The knife mark on your back should have been cut when you were young 40 years ago. At that time, the young official was not high, and the military doctor didn’t treat you well, so now the wound still hurts when it’s rainy. But this Small injuries and pains are nothing to you."

Hearing what she said, Pei Jinglue was shocked.In addition to being surprised, he was completely convinced by Mu Jiaojiao.

The wounds she suffered on the battlefield 40 years ago can be recovered by her pulse, which shows how far her medical skills have come!
No wonder Cui Pu knew that he wanted to try her on purpose just now but he was not in a hurry at all, and no wonder he admired her so much!
"However—" Just as everyone was surprised, Mu Jiaojiao said slowly, "You still have a problem that cannot be cured, which has troubled you for a long time. If you agree to my husband's conditions, I will Help you heal."
