Da Suining

Chapter 244 Medicine Jar

After Guo Kai and Xiangyan went back to the East Wing, it was said that the wine was very drunk. Taking advantage of the wine, they drank tea and guessed boxing games with Xiangyan, and told stories about ghosts and gods to amuse them. It was so big that even the Xiang family woman who waited outside blushed.

The front yard was so big, and the mother-in-law last night muttered again, so Tang Xiaoniang called the mother-in-law to ask.

The mother-in-law added oil and vinegar to describe it, and the words were so straight that the spittle splashed, and the mother-in-law's face was hot.

Tang Xiaoniang leaned against the head of the bed with a sullen face, cursing in her heart that the little bastard, who was protected by her ancestors, bullied people endlessly. This is in Xiang's house, so she dared to treat Xiangyan like this. One can imagine what kind of virtue he is in the palace.

The mother-in-law wanted to say a few more words about "the third girl and the prince's husband and wife love each other", but Tang Xiaoniang's eyes almost shot her to death: "Go out and serve, and keep your old mouth shut, so that you can speak."

The mother-in-law hit a wall, bowed her head and came out.

Early the next morning, after the morning meal, the new son-in-law was about to leave with the bride.

The meals prepared by Xiang's family are naturally very rich.

There are not only roasted tenderloin of Fuzi melon, anchovy shark's fin, kung pao hare, duck feet with mushrooms, colorful beef tenderloin, but also candied green plums, milky white grapes, bean flour pastry, and almond bergamot.

Finally, another ginseng chicken soup was served.In the clear soup, the ginseng is lying in it, and every strand can be seen clearly.

"My lord, drink some chicken soup. The pheasant chicken sent by Zhuangzi, and this ginseng are bestowed by the emperor in the palace. They are the most nourishing and nourishing. This ginseng chicken soup was made by Yan'er's mother herself."

Guo Kai picked up the ginseng and looked at it, a little disgusted: "This ginseng is too... weak, how can such a ginseng replenish Qi? Speaking of which, the best ginseng in Xuanguo is in my house. The emperor said that I need supplements for my martial arts training, and the ginseng offered for offerings every year is the best for me. This in your house...is not on the table. "

Xiang Daying was a little embarrassed.

Guo Cheng has never been able to speak.

Seeing the old lady sitting silently drinking the soup, she said: "The old lady should drink an extra bowl, as she is getting old, she can't breathe for a while, if you don't use ginseng to hang it, then you can't be sure."

Mrs. Xiang couldn't swallow the chicken soup anymore.

If Guo Kai is not the prince, Mrs. Xiang really wants to give him a walking stick twice.

Let him owe.

Fortunately, there are noodles in the kitchen.

Rapeseed white noodles with two poached eggs on the bottom of the bowl.

According to Xuanguo's rules, the last part of returning home is the noodle mixing ceremony.

The father-in-law invites the new son-in-law to eat noodles, and the new son-in-law stirs a few times, but if he refuses to eat, the father-in-law will bring a red envelope to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law still stirs the noodles, and the father-in-law will go to get the red envelope again. Finally, it is almost the same, and the new son-in-law symbolically provokes the noodles. Take two bites of noodles, and it's a gift.

The old rule in the past was to stir the noodles all morning.Or take away a cow or a donkey directly from the father-in-law's house, which means that you have taken a lot of treasures from the father-in-law's house.

Guo Cheng is not interested in messing around all morning.

After a few hasty stirs, he took a red envelope and went out.

After Xiangyan returned home, Tang Xiaoniang seemed to be a different person, and she was very enthusiastic in the house.

For example, as soon as the sun rose, I took Mrs. Xiang to the small garden, which was called basking in the sun and removing moisture.

Mrs. Xiang was old, and the snowy road was slippery, so she didn't like to move, but Tang Xiaoniang was eager to serve her, so Mrs. Xiang had no choice but to take a symbolic stroll.

After a few walks, Mrs. Xiang was sweating, took a breath of cold air, and coughed.

I can't stand this when I'm too old.

Lu Yulai prescribed the medicine, and Xiang Suining went to cook it himself, and when the medicine was half boiled, Tang Xiaoniang called her: "Second girl, isn't this made of big hair's clothes? I think you are also outstanding, and by the way, let the tailor measure it for you." , make one for you too."

Xiang Suining was fiddled with by the tailor like a puppet, after measuring for a while, Tang Xiaoniang asked Xiang Suining to choose jewelry again.

In the past, this was Xiangyan's treatment.

Always felt weird.

Xiang Suining replied, "I still have to make medicine for my grandmother, so don't delay."

"What's important...I mean, there are too many maids and wives in the mansion, let them go, look at you, guarding the medicine jar, your face is dirty." Tang Xiaoniang waved a handkerchief to wipe Xiang Suining's face .

Xiang Suining stepped out: "I went to make medicine."

"You child." Tang Xiaoniang stood at the door with her arms folded, and when Xiang Suining walked away, she sneered twice: "You really don't know how to praise."

"Mother, just now you said you liked Second Sister, but now you're talking about Second Sister behind your back. You've changed really fast. No wonder people say that the most... most poisonous woman's heart." Xiang Guo grabbed an apple heartily. He gnawed and walked out.

Tang Xiaoniang made a gesture to kick his ass: "Little brat, you can't read well in the palace, even your mother dares to say it, see if I don't ask your father to beat you."

"Mother, it's time for you to take care of grandma, right? You've been there for the past few days."

Tang Xiaoniang looked at the sunlight, asked her mother-in-law to send the tailor out, and went to the east across the courtyard by herself.

When Xiang Suining went back to boil the medicine, he happened to see a maidservant in Tang Xiaoniang's room, stealthily, opened the medicine jar, seemed to be smelling it, but also seemed to look at it, and then turned over the medicine jar with a chopstick. Pulled for a while.

Mingzhu took a cloak for Xiang Suining and tied it on. When she rushed back, she also saw this scene, and said hurriedly, "What are you doing?"

The chopsticks in the hands of the maid fell to the ground: "Servant...servant...servant... just to see how the medicine is doing. The second girl was not there just now, and the servant is afraid that the medicine will dry up and delay the old lady's taking."

"It's none of your business here, let's go." Xiang Suining fanned the medicine jar with a fan, and when the maid left, he called Mingzhu to come forward.

"The one in Miss Tang's room just now seems to be trying to get the old lady's medicine. The old lady has been ill for several days, and the prescription was prescribed by the imperial doctor Xiao Lu. According to the previous dosage, it is guaranteed to be effective in two days. Could it be... ..." Mingzhu said: "Young lady, why didn't you interrogate the maid, maybe they did something wrong."

"Ask her, she will definitely not admit it. You go, wrap up this pot of medicine dregs, and secretly show it to Lu Yu to see if there are any flaws. Don't startle the snake."

"Yes." Just as Mingzhu was about to wrap the medicine dregs, two women came.

The mother-in-law said directly: "Second girl, let's go."

"Where are you going? What's the matter?"

"The old lady and Tang Xiaoniang are called the second girl. They are called urgently. It seems to be a big deal."

Xiang Suining was afraid that Mrs. Xiang would make a mistake, so she followed her away before she could clean her face. Mingzhu wanted to pack the medicine residue, but she picked up the medicine jar together: "Mingzhu, let's go together."

East across the courtyard, in Mrs. Xiang's room.

Mrs. Xiang was lying on the head of the bed, her face was sallow. Among the old people of the same age, Mrs. Xiang was considered blessed, but her body was not feeling well these few days, and her complexion was not good.

The window sills in the room were closed tightly, so it was very warm.Even so, Mrs. Xiang was still wrapped in two layers of quilts, lying there weakly, panting a bit heavily.

Tang Xiaoniang was sitting under the window, her lips painted scarlet, and she was interrogating the maidservant.

I heard the maidservant I met in the kitchen just now crying: "This maidservant was helping to boil the medicine. I was afraid that the medicine would dry up, but after stirring a few times, sister Mingzhu reprimanded me, doubting...doubting..."

"What do you suspect?" Tang Xiaoniang glared at the maidservant: "The old lady is in charge of you, please speak carefully."

"Elder Sister Mingzhu suspects... suspects that I have put some medicine or poison in the old lady's medicine jar, so it will take a long time to interrogate me." The maid was out of breath from crying.

Xiang Suining knew that all of this was Tang Xiaoniang's acting.

Ming Zhu scolded the maid, Ming Zhu was Xiang Suining's maid, so naturally Xiang Suining instructed her.

Tang Xiaoniang said bitterly: "Second Miss is so guarded against others. Even though I am a concubine, I know to respect the old lady. After the old lady took the medicine for a few days, I was the one who talked with her to make her feel comfortable. Didn't the second girl also see it?"

"Let's go quickly." Mrs. Xiang coughed.

The children and grandchildren are usually harmonious, but when Tang Xiaoniang came, she was in a hurry.

He never wanted to see her, but when she came here so enthusiastically, he always disappeared, and he was afraid that Xiang Daying would feel uncomfortable.

"Old lady, don't think I talk too much." Tang Xiaoniang pulled the medicine jar with her chopsticks and said, "Medicine matters can be light or heavy, and no mistakes can be tolerated. It's right for the second girl to be careful. Don't worry, the second girl, no, I have already asked the people at the door to invite Doctor Lu, and it should be here now."

Sure enough, Lu Yu came.

When he entered the room, he saw a roomful of people with serious expressions, and a maid lying on the ground crying as if she had lost her parents, so Lu Yu asked her, "What's your name?"

"Slave Forsythia." The maid sniffed, "Why did Imperial Physician Lu ask my name?"

"It's just to observe your tongue coating while you are talking. It hurts so much from crying. If you faint after a while, I can prescribe medicine to save you."

The maid suddenly shut up and stopped crying.

Tang Xiaoniang greeted Lu Yu with a smile, and then said: "Please trouble the imperial physician Lu to come here, our second daughter has always trusted your medical skills the most, come and see, what's wrong with the medicine in this medicine jar."

Lu Yu rummaged through the medicinal residues, and smelled them again.

"How about it?"

"They are all medicines for nourishing the body and soothing the stomach. I prescribed them."

"Is there anything harmful in it? Eat something that kills you?"

"No."

"Did Physician Lu see clearly?"

"See clearly."

"Second Miss, did you hear me clearly?" Tang Xiaoniang said triumphantly, "My maid Forsythia is just out of kindness, and the medicine in this medicine jar has no problems at all."

"Young lady is worrying too much, and I never doubted anything." Xiang Suining replied.

Now that Lu Yu is here, why don't you check Mrs. Xiang's pulse again.

"Grandmother took the medicine on time, and I made the medicine. She took the medicine on time, but her condition didn't seem to improve."

Lu Yu took the pulse of Mrs. Xiang again, and looked at the tongue coating. He was also a little puzzled: "This prescription is for nourishing people. The old lady should not use this prescription... What is the old lady feeling uncomfortable?"

"Weakness, sleepiness, my stomach has been restless for the past two days, and I got up twice at night. No, the old lady was tortured, and her face changed." Su Momo beat the old lady's leg and replied: "Although it is I am taking medicine, but my appetite is not as good as before. I didn’t eat a bowl of porridge in the morning, but I only ate two spoonfuls.”

"It's all because the food in the kitchen is not well prepared. Later, I will ask the kitchen to cook differently. The old lady has to eat harder, because her health is important." Tang Xiaoniang agreed.

"You don't have to force yourself, it's useless to oppose the body." Lu Yu took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, reopened the prescription, and changed some medicinal materials and told Xiang Suining: "I increased the dosage, and the old lady's stomach discomfort should be adjusted soon. If not, call me again, and I will come anytime."

Prime Minister Suining sent Lu Yu out of the mansion.

Since he became an imperial physician, he seems to be much more stable than before.

The hosta bundles the hair, and the sideburns are distinct.

When he looked back, he seemed to be the boy he was back then.

Lu Yu stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of Xiang Suining's lips.

His hands are warm, with his breath, with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, orange peel, angelica, what kind of Chinese medicine smell, Xiang Suining's mind suddenly went blank.

"The corner of the mouth is still covered with ashes, is it hard to boil the medicine?" Lu Yu asked.

Xiang Suining shook his head: "My grandma...how could she get worse after taking your medicine, and she was able to get out of bed two days ago...today she's lying on her side, and she's out of breath when she moves."

"It wasn't a serious problem at first, it should be fine after taking the medicine, but now the diarrhea hurts my body a bit, I'm getting old, and I didn't sleep well at night. I've already changed the prescription, and with you taking care of me, I don't think it's a big problem."

"Thanks."

"If you say thank you for this, I won't come."

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear a lot, would you like to talk?"

"Then... what do you want to hear?"

Lu Yu looked at her and smiled. He smiled very nicely. The neat collar was embroidered with tiny lines. When he smiled, the pear hole suddenly appeared. The deep pear hole was as deep as his eyes, which were deep. Yes, like a Wang Xiquan.

Such as cutting, such as learning, such as pecking, such as grinding.

"Go back, it's cold outside." Lu Yu smiled.

"you go first."

"Do you want to see me go?"

Xiang Suining nodded.

"If you watch me go, how can I be willing to go?" Lu Yu smiled brightly.

"It's out of shape." Xiang Suining also smiled.

In Lu Yu's new prescription, he added enough licorice for fear that Mrs. Xiang would feel bitter and would not eat it.

Xiang Sui Ning waited in front of the bed with his clothes untied, but Mrs. Xiang's condition was getting worse and worse. At first her face was sallow, then her face turned pale, at first she was unable to breathe, and then she lost the strength to speak.

This day, Xiang Suining didn't dare to go back to his room, but just slept on Mrs. Xiang's feet. After sleeping until midnight, Mrs. Xiang's stomach started to rumble again, and she went to the toilet three or four times in a row. How could an elderly person bear this.

Xiang Suining hastily asked someone to invite Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu arrived, Mrs. Xiang was already limp on the bedside.

After feeling the pulse, Lu Yu looked at Mrs. Xiang's tongue again, and was speechless for a while.

Xiang Suining followed him to the corridor: "Is there any difficulty? Or need some expensive medicine?"

"Your grandmother is weak and short of breath. At this time, you need to use high-quality ginseng to boost your Qi. It's just that the ginseng in our house has run out, and Qingcheng may not have such a good ginseng."

"What if you can't find a good participant?"

"I'm afraid your grandmother will be... hard."

"I will definitely find the best ginseng for my grandmother."

Good ginseng, where you say you can find it.

Xiangjia's ginseng is all broken.

Xiang Suining found four or five pharmacies in Qingcheng, but they were either small ones or none at all.

I bought some small ginseng and boiled it back, and brought it to Mrs. Xiang, but it didn't improve at all.

I am in a hurry and can't wait.
