Da Suining

Chapter 22 A Piece of Jade
"There is a mass grave twenty miles to the east of the city. Where can you throw me? A person like me, once the mat is rolled up, dies in one lifetime. I don't deserve to live in this world and dirty the ground under my feet." Ah Despair was written on Shui's face, as if this woman had nothing to worry about in this world.

Most of the people thrown in the mass graves are poor people who died in foreign lands or had no money to bury them.

Anyone who has a little way will not lie down there. Lonely ghosts, there are no sacrificial incense candles during the festivals, and even being a ghost is looked down upon.

"Miss Ah Shui, why don't I rent you a house first, and everything can be discussed after you recover from your illness."

Ah Shui seemed unwilling: "My illness can't be cured anymore."

Xiang Suining winked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu gave Ah Shui an arm: "Miss Ah Shui's illness is easy to cure, and after a few doses of medicine, the root will be eradicated."

"Why do you help me?" Ah Shui was puzzled.

"Heaven has the virtue of being kind, so you should help us when we see injustice." Xiang Suining thought of Lan Tui: "Miss Xiaolan has acted as a guarantor for Miss Ah Shui, if Miss Ah Shui is lost, or... No more, do you want the bustard to trouble Mrs. Xiaolan?"

Ah Shui didn't want to cause trouble for others.

I had no choice but to follow Xiang Suining's wishes, and took a carriage to the dyed yarn alley in the south of the city. I rented a private house for one dan, bought food for another [-] tang, and hired a woman to help me for two tang. Look after and serve.

Ah Shui was temporarily placed, and two hours passed.

After leaving the dyed yarn alley, Xiang Suining asked Lu Yu: "Miss Ah Shui's illness, how many medicines can I treat?"

"You want to know?"

"think."

"Brother Yu." Lu Yu grinned.

It's really three sentences that don't forget to play hooligans.

Xiang Suining glared at him: "How many medicines can you look after?"

"It's so fierce to ask someone to do something." Lu Yu curled his lips: "Your attitude is not good, second girl."

In order to save Ah Shui, Xiang Suining had to pretend to be humble: "Doctor Lu, please tell me when Ah Shui's illness will recover."

"It doesn't look good at all."

"Huh? Stop." Xiang Suining raised the curtain, Lu Yu and the coachman sat in front of the carriage, the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage stopped firmly.Lu Yu felt guilty: "Don't blame me, I just said that to cooperate with you."

"Ah Shui really can't be saved?"

"It really can't be saved."

"You think of a way."

"The King of Hades made people die in the third watch, and I can't keep them until the fifth watch." Lu Yu shook his head: "Ah Shui's time is approaching, and it's impossible to save him."

"It's because your medical skills are not good." Xiang Suining was a little angry.

Lu Yu's hairy boy, young and young, just when he was not convinced by anything, when Xiang Suining said this, Lu Yu laughed instead: "Since you can see that my medical skills are not good, you still ask me to treat other people's diseases? You think so highly of me?" Me, do you like me?"

That's right, there are many people with high medical skills in the capital, why are you looking for Lu Yu.

Is it because he is handsome?
Or is it because he doesn't take money?

Xiang Suining didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lu Yu laughed again: "Although I am not skilled in medicine, my father is an imperial physician in the palace. He is highly skilled in medicine and has extensive knowledge. I am afraid that few people in Xuanguo can match it. For my father, Ah Shui's disease is probably very difficult. It's as simple as crushing an ant."

"Really?"

"real."

"Don't brag."

"Ah Shui's illness is on me." Lu Yu brushed back his hair at the side of his temples, with a smug expression on his face: "If you don't like Ah Shui, I am willing to take orders from you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu. Let's send Mr. Lu back now." Xiang Suining said softly.

It was rare for her to speak softly to Lu Yu.

"Really, then what are you doing out there? After all, we are also good brothers who go shopping together." Lu Yu patted Xiang Suining on the shoulder carelessly, seeing Xiang Suining staring at him, he withdrew his hand again.

Lu Yu's father is an imperial physician, and the imperial physician should be the most skilled in Xuanguo. With Lu Yu's help, Ah Shui may still have hope.

It's not in vain to invite Lu Yu to visit the brothel, but he is still of some use.

Xiang Suining was always a little worried about Ah Shui.

Early the next day, I went to the dyed yarn alley again. Through the screened window, I saw the newly hired woman feeding porridge to Ah Shui. Seriously: "Girl, let's have some porridge, what can I do if there is nothing in my stomach, take a few sips, at least my body will be warmer."

Ah Shui was fed a few mouthfuls by the mother-in-law, swallowed slowly, and lay down on the support of the mother-in-law, but coughed. The handkerchief was red, and the mother-in-law also felt startled: "This... this... girl, wait a minute, didn't that Doctor Lu say that the girl's illness is on him? Maybe the medicine will be delivered in a while."

Ah Shui closed his eyes, his heart was ashamed, but his face remained calm.

Seeing Prime Minister Suining arrive, Ah Shui struggled to remember, but his body would not obey.

"Lie down and don't move around." Xiang Suining brought water to feed her: "Lie down and don't catch a cold. Doctor Lu will deliver the medicine in a while."

"Second girl, thank you for your help. You gave me my life, and I will repay you in the next life."

"Don't say that."

"Second Miss, at this point, it doesn't matter whether I live or die. I just have one wish that I want to entrust to Second Miss." Ah Shui groped in her bosom for a while, and finally found a piece of jade. It has no luster, and the low-grade goods in any jewelry shop in Qingcheng are better than it, and it only looks like dozens of copper coins. in arms.

"This piece of jade, please send the second girl to Eunuch Chang's Qingcheng mansion." Ah Shui coughed a few more times, and his body gradually softened: "Eunuch Chang is a popular consular eunuch in the palace, and the second girl hired a carriage. The coachman naturally knows where Eunuch Chang's house is, and will take the second girl there."

Send a piece of jade to Eunuch Chang.

Ah Shui still remembers when he is dying.

Thinking that this piece of jade is unusual, it must be a piece of jade with a story.

Xiang Suining wanted to gossip, but Ah Shui's appearance now made her unable to speak.I had to tell my mother-in-law to take care of me, and I took a car to go to my father-in-law.

From the dyed yarn alley, through Qingshui alley, around Shiliu alley, and about [-] or [-] kilometers to the west, you will find Eunuch Chang's house.

The two young men were sitting at the door, taking a nap and basking in the sun. Xiang Suining announced the door, and the young men went to pass the news.

After a while, the servant came out to lead the way: "Second Miss, please come in, Eunuch Chang is waiting."

Eunuch Chang's mansion has a Fengshui wall with the word "Fu" at the entrance, bypassing the Fengshui wall, all kinds of camphor wood, along the bluestone roadbed, extending to the chaoshou verandah.

After passing the veranda, bypassing a pond, and passing through two hanging flower arches, we can count to the main hall where Eunuch Chang lives.

The eunuch has such a luxurious house, which is beyond the reach of the officials and gentlemen in Qingcheng. You must know that the official salary of Xuanguo is only 200 taels a year. The eunuch who is favored by the emperor.
