The beauty of the lady

Chapter 136 Lies (2)
"That's it, anyway, just wait with peace of mind."

"I see."

In November, the first snow in early winter finally fell slowly. The flakes were so big that they fell on the ground. Even with the windows closed, you could hear the swishing sound.

In the dormitory, Zhou Mei was getting dressed under the service of the girl.

Xia Qi took a fox fur from behind and put it on her body, said worriedly: "Miss, the snow outside has already accumulated very thickly, it's a little unsafe for you to go out at this time."

"There's nothing to do about it. Uncle and grandpa are not in good health, so I have to go and have a look."

"Hasn't the old lady already invited the imperial physician?"

"Even so, I'm not at ease. Don't come with me today. I'll just take Chunqin and Qiushu." After she finished speaking, Xia Qi seemed to want to refute. Personally, I always feel that something is about to happen recently, and you pay more attention to the movements in the mansion."

The young lady has already talked about this, so Xia Qi can only nod in response.

Outside, the coachman had already harnessed the carriage, and after Zhou Mei sat down firmly, he carefully went to An Guogong's mansion.

On the way, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the snowflakes falling continuously outside, rendering the main part of the sky. Looking around, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. snowflakes.

"Sister Chunqin, it's so beautiful. I didn't expect the first snow to be so heavy. Next year will definitely be a good one."

"Yes."

"But it's too thick. The plum blossom in our yard was crushed, and the petals fell all over the ground. What a pity."

"I thought it was a pity and went out to dust off the snow. We only have those two plum trees in our yard, and they are rare red plums."

"I have it, but I can't always guard it, it's so cold."

Zhou Mei closed her eyes, listening to the conversation of the two girls with a smile on her lips, and did not open her eyes until the carriage stopped.

"Miss Biao, the Duke's Mansion is here."

Chunqin got out of the car first, helped Zhou Mei down, and then went to the Duke's mansion.

The guard at the gate saw Zhou Mei and didn't go in to report, and let her in directly.

In the Shouxi Hall, the old man lay quietly on the couch, his face blushing unnaturally.

It was a little strange when I left without hearing the news. It stands to reason that my uncle and grandfather should not have returned from Ciyun Temple at this time. Who knew that he was sent back by the steward accompanying him. It is said that he fell in the garden. There was a big lump on the back of his head.

When they came to the Duke's Mansion, the imperial physician was gone, but in the living room, they saw the Prince Regent Ye Zhen unexpectedly.

Zhou Mei saw the ceremony one by one, then walked to Mrs. Zhao's side, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, how is uncle and grandfather? What did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial doctor said that your uncle and grandfather are getting old, and their bones are not particularly good. Although it is not life-threatening now, it is necessary to take care of it carefully. After the swelling in the back of the head disappears, there will be nothing serious about the body." After finishing speaking , patted Zhou Mei's hand, and said softly: "Why don't you go in and have a look at him, I always feel that I can't let it go."

"I see, please persuade your uncle and grandma, don't let her old man worry."

"Mother knows."

Stepping into the dormitory, I smelled a faint smell of medicine, and the old man who was looking at Jianlang, but now lying quietly on the bed.

"Miss Cousin, you are here." An old butler standing by saw Zhou Mei, and hurriedly fetched a soft stool for her to sit on.

Zhou Mei nodded lightly and walked forward, lifted the brocade quilt, felt his pulse with her fingers, put her hand down after a while, and looked at him quietly.

"Miss Cousin, is the master all right?" He was the one who sent the old man back. At that time, a lot of blood flowed from the back of his head, and his heart almost burst from fright.

Zhou Mei looked at the old housekeeper and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, uncle and grandpa are in good health, but I need to change the prescription a little."

As she said that, she took the pen and paper from Chunqin, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to the old housekeeper, asking him to go out and make the medicine.

She asked someone to move the brazier over, and then turned the old man over to reveal his bare back with slightly loose skin. She took a bottle of medicated oil from the medicine box, applied it to her hands, and then pressed on the acupuncture points on his back.

Ye Zhen stood at the door with her arms crossed, silently watching Zhou Mei's movements, feeling a little muttered in her heart.

Even if she is a disciple of Master Changchun, those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are not good enough, in terms of real skills, there are still some, since the imperial physicians say nothing is wrong, why bother her.

When the old steward went out just now, he glanced at the prescription, but adjusted two or three herbs. Although the effect is the same, there are strengths and weaknesses.

At this time, I saw her pressing on the old man's bare back again, and occasionally heard the old man's muffled grunt. She kept pressing for nearly two quarters of an hour before stopping.

After settling down with her uncle and grandfather, Zhou Mei turned around and cleaned her hands in the copper basin brought by Chunqin, and then turned around to go out, but she saw Ye Zhen standing at the door.

She thought that Ye Xuan came here today because his uncle had something to do, "My lord, my uncle won't wake up until noon at least."

"Understood." Ye Xuan nodded, seeing that she seemed to be leaving, and asked, "Did the imperial doctor diagnose it?"

"That's not true. The imperial physician's diagnosis was correct." Zhou Mei didn't understand why he asked such a question.

"Then what were you doing just now?"

"Loosen the muscles and bones, uncle and grandpa are getting old, and the bones are a little stiff." It turned out that this was the question.

This time Ye Zhen didn't continue to ask, but turned around and left the Duke's Mansion with the two guards around him.

After the group sent him back, Zhou Mei was held back by the old lady.

"Meier, is your uncle okay?"

"Don't worry, granduncle. Granduncle is fine. He will wake up in the afternoon at the latest. Don't worry."

"That's good, Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you." As he said, he got up and took the old woman beside him to the back hall.

Xiao said: "Mum, don't worry now, there is a small Buddhist hall in the back. It is also because of my aunt's lack of consideration to let you, a girl, come here in heavy snow."

"Auntie is serious, this is Meier's willingness."

After finishing speaking, she was embraced by Xiao Shi, and she could vaguely feel the trembling of her body.

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I promise to make my uncle live to be a hundred years old."

"Okay, okay, Meier is the best." Because of these words, Xiao Shi hugged the little girl in his arms even tighter.

She is sincerely respectful and filial to the old Duke and the old madam. Although her natal family also has younger siblings and older brothers, but because they are in the same rank, they do not receive much attention in the mansion. It was the elder sister, but her mother chose her in the end, so the relationship between her and the elder sister was very tense, and even her parents complained slightly to her, although after marrying into the Duke's mansion, the relationship with her parents was not bad. Not bad, but compared to the two, she respects her parents-in-law even more. If something happens to her father-in-law, she will really be at a loss.
