The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 44
"Okay, okay! Let's talk tonight!" Mrs. Feng called out immediately: "Go, take the master's name card to Bai's house, and ask their master to go to the Cixin Nunnery after dawn to get Miss Yao's pulse. Just say it’s me, please take care of him.”

Immediately someone below agreed to go out, Mrs. Feng patted Feng Shaochen's face: "Is this okay?"

Feng Shaochen thought for a while, then said: "Old lady, shall I go to Cixin Nunnery tomorrow?"

"Don't go!" Mrs. Feng immediately pulled her face down, "If it's smallpox, it will be contagious!"

"Old lady..." Feng Shaochen took old lady Feng's arm again and acted like a baby.

"You can't make a fuss about this matter. If I say you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go. From tomorrow onwards, you will stay at home obediently, and you are not allowed to go out of the door. Otherwise, I will ask someone to tell you, Lao Tzu, and he will beat you carefully. "

Feng Shaochen immediately became wilted, Mrs. Feng called Qingxiu over: "It's getting late, serve your young master to sleep."

What Feng Shaochen wanted to say, was stared back by Mrs. Feng, Qingxiu and a few girls came forward together and pulled Feng Shaochen away with gentle words.

Dinghou Mansion, Shangfangyuan, Mrs. Lu's bedroom.

Waiting for Su Guangchong to enter the door, Mrs. Lu personally went up to help take off the outer robe and handed it to the girl, then followed Su Guangchong to the couch and sat down, and personally offered a blue and white porcelain tureen: "Master, this is Fenglu tea. After three or four times, the color just came out, Master, try it."

"En." Su Guangchong took the tea and smelled it, nodded, took a sip and put it down.

The maid brought the foot-washing water and knelt down to wash Su Guangchong's feet. Mrs. Lu sat aside and watched, sighing: "Master, have you heard about Miss Yao?"

Su Guangchong gave a 'huh' and asked: "I heard something in a daze today, it seems that I am sick? Find a good imperial doctor to take a closer look, after all, they live in our house, two serious in-laws, don't Lose the face of the Hou Mansion and make people laugh."

"Master, don't worry, how can I just sit idly by?" Mrs. Lu said, and then smiled faintly: "The third daughter-in-law is quite calm, she sent someone to take a look first, and she was so frightened when she came back. It's like a soul. I see her, she was frightened by the illness a while ago, and when she heard about the illness, she lost all her former wisdom."

"It's understandable, she is young and inexperienced. You just need to teach her more." Su Guangchong didn't care about this matter.

Mrs. Lu has long been accustomed to Su Guangchong's attitude, so she continued on her own: "It's Heng'er, as soon as she heard that Miss Yao was ill, she immediately took someone to the Bai family in Beicheng, and she wanted to see Miss Yao in person. The Eldest Princess In such a hurry, let Ping'er lead someone to chase her back."

Su Guangchong smiled: "Heng'er, with such a temperament, should be born into a boy. It's a pity to keep him in a deep boudoir."

"But after all, it's the girl's house, and it's time to reach Jiji next year. Her parents are not in the capital, so the marriage can't be delayed after the Jiji ceremony. I don't know what the Eldest Princess means?"

Su Guangchong took his feet out of the footbasin and let the girl wipe them, and said slowly: "Well, I have thought about it. After returning from the Western Expedition, many young soldiers stood out, and the one who bore the brunt was Wei Zhang. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ri Pinger called him home alone, and you met him too, what do you think of him?"

"What does he look like? He is quite talented. It's just that... he has no parents, no brothers and sisters, and he is alone, and he has to go to the battlefield. Most likely, Heng'er will stay alone when he marries him. I'm afraid the eldest princess will not bear it?"

"Our whole family is in the capital, so we won't be unable to take care of it. I think this Wei Zhang has a bright future. Later, you can take a moment to ask your mother what she thinks. If she thinks it's okay, I'll ask Ping'er to talk to him. .”

Mrs. Lu asked hesitantly: "Our wife is rushing over this matter...isn't it good?"

Su Guangchong put on his shoes and stood up, and smiled as he entered the bedroom: "You also said that Wei Zhang has no parents or brothers, so you let him come to propose marriage by himself?"

Mrs. Lu also smiled and shook her head, and stood up.Nanny Lian came forward to help Mrs. Lu take off her outer robe, pearl hairpins, earrings and other accessories. After Mrs. Lu entered the inner room, she lightly blew out the candles, leaving only an oil lamp in the corner. They file out with the girls.

In Qixiang Courtyard, most of the candles had been extinguished, and the lady on duty was already wrapped in a blanket and leaning against the eaves to take a nap.

There was only a small oil lamp on in the bedroom, and under the purple gauze curtain, Yao Fengge leaned on Su Yuxiang's arms with red eyes and sighed softly: "In this way, I really don't know how to tell my grandmother and parents at home. Well, it's because I didn't take good care of her..."

Yao Fengge thought that Yao Yanyu's medical skills were unfathomable, she could even heal a dying person, she would never let herself die easily.Now even she can't help herself, that's really hopeless.

Su Yuxiang stroked her snow-white shoulder and sighed in a low voice: "Could it be that there is no cure for Second Sister's disease?"

Yao Fengge cried in a low voice: "At first it was said to be smallpox, but now it is not. I am not sure what kind of disease it is... Even the imperial doctors can't help, and Mr. Lu from the Baijia Pharmacy also said that he didn't know what it was, but how to cure it Woolen cloth?"

Su Yuxiang had no choice but to comfort Yao Fengge patiently: "Okay, don't cry, you just recovered from your illness, and you have to take care of yourself."

Cixin Nunnery, Zhuxin Buddhist Temple.In the dead of night, when the oil lamp was like beans, Yao Yanyu leaned on the bed with her clothes on, holding a small box and counting the longan-sized pills inside.Because Nanny Feng also had a rash, she simply moved to live outside Yao Yanyu's room, and transferred girl Cuiping out.Simply because both the master and the servant are sick, it would be convenient for them to heal if they live together.

"Girl, it's getting late, let's go to bed?" Nanny Feng leaned in front of the lamp and picked out a shoe insole, and put it back into the sewing dustpan.

"I slept too much during the day, and now I'm refreshed." Yao Yanyu counted the pills clearly, calculated the time, and asked: "What is the origin of the doctor surnamed Lu who came tonight?"

"Cuiwei quietly inquired about him. He is the master in charge of the Baijia pharmacy in the northern city of Yundu. He heard that he is very skilled in medicine and specializes in research on miscellaneous diseases of epidemics. Miss Su San invited him here in person, but was arrested on the way here. The Shizi stopped him and went back."

As Mother Feng said, she came forward and took away the box from Yao Yanyu's hand and put it in the drawer at the head of the bed, then turned around and pulled the quilt up to cover Yao Yanyu's chin, her voice lowered, "Mr. Sui Lu The lieutenant who came was named Tang, and he was the lieutenant of General Dingyuan—the dark man that the girl bumped into in the garden on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Yao Yanyu thought of Wei Zhang's face, and couldn't help laughing: "What is a dark person? He was wearing dark clothes that day, but he is not too dark."
