Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 279

The rain didn't stop until midnight, but the next morning was a fine day with bright sunshine and gentle breeze.

In Xiao Cha Lane, Wen Shu got up early in the morning, washed up and chewed two Zhuyu steamed buns, and was about to go out of the city to visit the tea shop, when someone knocked on the courtyard door.

"Who is it?" She quickly trotted over to open the door.

"Little lady, my grandma (mother-in-law) has passed out, and the officials and uncle (father-in-law) have gone out and are not at home. I rushed to the front to invite the doctor, but there is no one at home. I need you to go and take care of me." Xiao Sun Shi hurriedly said outside the door.

"Ms. Li fainted!" Wen Shu was startled, and immediately glanced at the pregnant little Sun, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you are inconvenient, just leave it to me to ask the doctor, I am fast, dad , Dad..." She stretched her neck and called out to the front yard.

"What's the matter, what's the matter." The next moment, Father Wen came over with an ax in his hand.

"Aunt Li has passed away. Uncle Sun and brother Dalang are not at home. I will go and ask the doctor for help. Dad, please send Dalang's sister-in-law back first, and then take care of Aunt Li. I will be back in a while." To go to the door.

"Wait" Father Wen grabbed her and threw the ax in his hand to the ground, "I'd better go ask the doctor, and you send Dalang's wife back."

Aunt Li and Da Lang's sister-in-law are both female relatives, and Brother Heping and Da Lang are not at home, so it is inconvenient for him to go as a widower.Fortunately, Wen Shu also reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, look at me, I am so confused."

Father Wen went out to invite a doctor, while Wen Shu helped Mrs. Sun back to Sun's house. When they entered, Mrs. Li was still lying on the ground in the courtyard with a plate of smashed tofu beside her.

It rained at night, and the bluestone board was still a little wet at this time, and Li Niangzi's back and sleeves were already wet. When Xiao Sun saw it, she was ashamed and said: "I want to help my mother get up, but I can't do it." .”

"It's okay, I'll come." Wen Shu rolled up his sleeves, and asked while helping Mrs. Li, "Why did Mrs. Li faint, but slipped and fell?"

Xiao Sun shook her head, "I don't know, I was sorting oil-skinned paper in the hut at that time, and my mother said to go to the courtyard to get two boards of tofu, but after a while, I heard her yell, and I didn't hear anything. Then I heard the sound of the tofu board hitting the ground, and when I arrived in the courtyard, my mother had already fallen on the ground and was unconscious."

"Auntie, auntie," Wen Shu called out to Miss Li softly while helping her up.

But as Xiao Sun said, no matter how much she called Mrs. Li, there was no response, so she had no choice but to carry her to the room first.Seeing her gently and deftly hugging Mrs. Li horizontally, Xiao Sun's mouth was wide open in shock, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say.

The old man Wen also moved very quickly. He led the doctor to the door of Sun's house almost as soon as Wen Shu carried Mrs. Li back to the room, put her on the bed and drank some water.

The person who came was Ye Fanghui, the doctor in charge of Wang's Pharmacy on Qianjie Street. He was only in his thirties, and he was considered a junior in the doctor's profession. Although his medical skills were not as good as those grey-bearded and experienced old doctors, he was very enthusiastic. When a patient is in an emergency, he always runs faster than the family members of the patient, so anyone in the neighborhood who has an emergency is the first to think of him.

Without him, he came quickly, without airs, and he is really a good rescuer.

Dr. Ye followed Father Wen into Sun's house, asked Mrs. Li briefly about what happened, and then gave Mrs. Li a pulse.

He has been sitting in Wang's pharmacy for two or three years, and almost all the neighbors around here have seen a doctor at his place, including Mrs. Li. Therefore, he is quite familiar with Mrs. Li's past medical history and condition, and he did not waste time now. Ask about old diseases.

But after some diagnosis, his clothes were wrinkled. Seeing this, Xiao Sun was a little uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, my grandma..."

Dr. Ye didn't speak, and waited until he finished his pulse and then lifted Mrs. Li's eyelids before he spoke solemnly, "I'm afraid it's Zhujue syndrome (cerebral hemorrhage)"

Xiao Sun's face turned pale and she almost fell down, Wen Shu was also shocked. Although she had never studied medicine, she had heard of the name "Zhu Jue Zhen". It was really a ferocious disease, and in severe cases, she died on the spot , ranging from hemiplegia and unable to take care of themselves.

For a family like the Sun family, no matter whether it is serious or not, it is a bad news.

The family situation of the Sun family is not much better than that of the original Wen family. Although they have a craft of making tofu, they still have two sons who can go out to do part-time jobs to earn some money to supplement the family.

But living in Kyoto is not easy, and there are a lot of expenses on weekdays. In addition, Mrs. Li is a sick child who needs to drink medicine all year round, so that her income and expenditure are almost evenly balanced, and she rarely saves any extra money.

The bride price for marrying Xiao Sun's flower last year was saved by the family tightening their belts for two years.Finally, the eldest son married a daughter-in-law, and Sun Heping and his wife had rested their worries, and they were planning to work harder to save up the dowry gift of the second son, so that life would be easier in the future, but unexpectedly this happened again thing.

Xiao Sun is the daughter of a farmer in the outskirts of the city, and her family is not well-off, otherwise she would not have married into the Sun family who had just settled their food and clothing and had two sons.

She also has quite a few brothers and sisters. She is the third eldest, with two older sisters and a younger brother.Although generous marriages are popular nowadays, due to limited family resources, her dowry is only ten guan.

She has been keeping the money herself, and Mrs. Li has never asked about it. She thought that the dowry could always be held in her hand and become her amulet and shield, but now that something like this is happening at home, can the money still be kept? .

For a moment, Xiao Sun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Seeing that everyone in the room looked bad, especially the bride with a big belly next to her, Dr. Ye hurriedly comforted her: "Fortunately, it's not a serious illness. I think it's possible to recover as long as I take care of it properly."

"When will the aunt wake up?" Wen Shu asked.

"This." Doctor Ye hesitated for a moment, "I'll give her an needle first, and then I'll give her a pill to quickly draw the blood to the bottom, and I think she will wake up in half an hour."

It is not up to Mrs. Li's father and daughter of the Wen family to make decisions about such important matters as the sudden death of the Jue, so she can only ask Xiao Sun, her uncle and the whereabouts of the officials.

After learning the whereabouts, Father Wen hurriedly went out to find someone, while Wen Shu stayed and continued to help.

At the same time, the Hou Mansion sent all the famous posts from those mansions yesterday to Xiaocha Lane, and at the same time sent letters back to each family to explain the situation.

After receiving the letter from the Hou Mansion and knowing the real situation, all the families looked at each other in blank dismay, stunned on the spot.Some prominent families directly gave up their minds.

Although she is not a cousin of the Hou Mansion, this girl is still profitable, but for them of the Zanying family, this kind of family status is too low, so low that they cannot give up their face and the honor of the family for several lifetimes.

Of course, there are those who give up easily and those who persevere.

Although some people were a little disappointed after hearing the news, they were more fortunate that Wen Shu was not a cousin of the Lu family, so their chances would be greater.

Originally, when the children of the family first mentioned this matter, they still felt that it was unreliable, and that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders. There was such a "capable person" among the cousins ​​of the Lu family. Neither of the two sons of the mansion has married a wife yet.As the saying goes, if you are close to the water, you get the moon first, so it is better to strike first.

But Nai couldn't help being urged by the children in the family, and finally handed in the post, because they figured it out, they didn't want to know whether Mr. Weifu had an "early engagement" with that little lady, they just handed in a post.Whether it succeeds or fails, it is not a crime, so why not be afraid of it.
