Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 67
Dr. Wen pinched the old man's wrist to feel his pulse, then looked at his eyelids, asked Dr. Hao about the old man's situation, pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what caused the old general's second stroke?"

When this matter was mentioned, the faces of several people present were not very good-looking.

The old lady went to the side and quietly wiped her tears.Yin Shi stood up and explained: "I'm afraid the doctor will laugh at me if I say it. My father is out of breath and overwhelmed."

Dr. Wen nodded, indicating that he understood.He asked the medicine boy to bring a pen and paper, wrote down the names of more than a dozen medicinal materials, and handed them to Yin Shi: "Madam, please prepare these medicinal materials. I will add acupuncture and moxibustion to the old general's medicine bath. In addition, I will trouble Madam more." Prepare some hot water, and don't let anyone disturb you during the treatment."

When Yin heard this, she hurriedly asked Dan Lu to go to the prescription to get the medicine according to the ingredients on the paper, and asked Dan Wu to order the kitchen to boil water. She said: "Dare to ask the miracle doctor, is there hope for my father's illness to be cured?" After finishing speaking, He hurriedly changed his words: "Even if it doesn't return to its previous appearance, as long as my father can move and walk like a normal person..."

Although he received acupuncture and moxibustion treatments from Dr. Hao every day, the old man was still unable to move.It was barely able to eat.But for an old hero who spent half his life on the battlefield and lived his whole life, this is the most unacceptable.

How wise and powerful he was when he was young, how helpless and painful he is now.

Once when Yin was feeding the old man, he saw a tear dripping from the corner of the old man's eye.Yin Shi was taken aback for a moment, and her eyes were also astringent, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

That's why Yin desperately hoped that Dr. Wen could cure the old man, so that the old man could stand in the yard every morning to punch and take a walk like before, even if he could no longer fight in the battlefield, it would be much better than now.

Doctor Wen thought about it and said: "This... the old general's illness came too urgently, and I can't guarantee it. But there is one thing, the old general can't be stimulated in the future, otherwise the condition will get worse, and even I will be unable to recover. "

Yin put all her hopes on Dr. Wen, and said, "I beg the divine doctor, I must cure my father."

Doctor Wen said: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best."

Not long after, Danlu and Danwu prepared the medicinal materials and hot water, and Dr. Wen was going to give the old man medicinal bath and acupuncture. Since no one could disturb him during the treatment, Dr. Wen invited everyone out of the room.

Su Xi and Yin Shi stood on the porch and waited together.To be honest, after a day of running around, Su Xi was already very tired, but thinking of her grandfather suffering inside, even if she couldn't feel at ease when she went back, she might as well just wait here.

The old lady couldn't take it anymore, so Yin sent her back to her room first.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw the second master Su Yang coming from the other side in a hurry, and asked: "I heard that Sister Xi has invited Dr. Wen from Baozhitang? Sister-in-law, how is father doing?" Is there any hope of a cure?"

Yin Shi was so annoyed by the people in the second room now, she didn't react at all after hearing these words, and looked ahead calmly, as if she didn't see the second master.

Seeing that Mrs. Yin didn't answer, the second master turned to look at Su Xi who was sitting on the fence of the verandah, and said in a low voice, "Sister Xi, please tell the second uncle. How is the old man? Doctor Wen must be sure." It can cure the old man, can't it?"

If Su Yang wasn't his second uncle, Su Xi would want to roll her eyes right now.She looked at Su Yang and said, "Second Uncle, why did you think of caring about Grandpa at this time? When you made Grandpa angry that day, why didn't you think that Grandpa is old and can't stand the slightest stimulation? Now that Grandpa is bedridden, you I just remembered to be filial... Second Uncle is so concerned about whether Dr. Wen can cure Grandpa, do you think that you will be fine if Grandpa is cured?"

The second master, Su Yang, turned pale when he was told, and said, "Sister Xi, how can you say that..."

Su Xi pursed her lips, stopped talking, and said so forcefully for the first time: "I will not forgive Second Uncle."

The second master stayed where he was.

At this time, Yin Shi who was standing at the door finally spoke, but his tone was very cold: "If the second uncle is really thinking about father, he should know that father does not want to see you at this time. Instead of dealing with us here, it is better to go to the ancestral hall to worship Let me worship, and I beg all the ancestors to bless my father with good health and a long life."

The second master thought for a while, and finally compromised, obeyed Yin's words, turned around and went to the ancestral hall.

An hour later, Doctor Wen opened the door from the inside and said, "Okay, Da Furen and Miss Nine can come in."

Su Xi hurriedly followed Yin and walked in.The steam was lingering in the room, and I saw the old man lying on the Babu bed, his eyes were closed and his lips were pale because of the medicinal bath and acupuncture just now, and he didn't know if he was asleep or awake.

Dr. Wen wrote the medicated diet for the past few days, and asked the kitchen to make it every day, and gave it to the old man to eat together with medicated bath and acupuncture, and also told some other things that need to be paid attention to.Yin hurriedly asked Danlu and Danwu to clean up a guest room, and invited Dr. Wen to live in it. She really thanked Dr. Wen.

After Dr. Wen left, Yin stayed to take care of the old man.

Su Xi was also watching by the side.It was getting dark outside, the twilight was falling, and the sunset was hazy, until she heard a drumming in her stomach, and then she remembered that she hadn't eaten all day except for drinking a bowl of red dates and barley porridge this morning.

After Yin found out, she was worried that she would not be able to carry her body, so she drove her back to Hualutianxiang, "You have been tired for a day, as long as there is a mother to take care of you here. Be good, you are young, mother knows that you are worried about grandpa, but you can't help it." Take care of your own body." As he spoke, he told Ting Yan to take good care of Su Xi after returning.

After Su Xi returned to Hualu Tianxiang, she took a bath first, and then had dinner. After dinner, the backyard was already completely dark.Only then did she recover a bit of energy, and she lay limply on the makeup pillow, with her left hand resting on a soft silver pillow, and asked Ting Yan to dye her nails with impatiens.

On the day of Qiqiao Festival, there is a custom of dyeing nails with impatiens. It is said that if a girl's nails are dyed, she will have good luck in the second half of the year.

Su Xi didn't believe it, she just nodded and agreed because she thought dyed nails looked good.

Ting Yan carefully dyed Su Xi's nails with Impatiens flower juice, and said, "Miss, should you go to bed early today? You haven't slept well these days, and if you go on like this, you will be exhausted sooner or later."

Probably because of visiting the old man just now, Su Xi was in a bad mood, and said good-bye: "I'll be sleeping in a while, you go down first, don't worry about me."

Ting Yan originally wanted to wait for her to fall asleep before leaving, but seeing her insistence, he had no choice but to back out.

It wasn't long after listening to the geese that Su Xi remembered that when she went out today, she took the books in the study outside to dry, and she hasn't moved them back yet.There is also a custom of drying books on the Qiqiao Festival. It happened that the books in her study hadn't been dried for a long time. This morning, she called a few maidservants to move the books to the yard together, but she completely forgot about it when she came back.The night is darker and the dew is heavier. If the book is left outside overnight, it will definitely get damp.

Su Xi regretted driving Ting Yan back so early, and the servant's room was too far away, so she didn't want to make another trip.The maid who was on guard at the door went to the kitchen to heat up hot water. Fortunately, there were not many books, so she could move them by herself after a few more trips.

Su Xi put on her embroidered shoes, carried the lantern and walked into the yard, put the lantern aside, and when she was about to move the books, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing under the cypress tree in front of her.She took two steps back in fright, and when she saw Wei Feng coming out from under the shadow of the tree, she patted her chest and blamed, "Cousin Ting Zhou is always so surprised."

Wei Yan changed his clothes and looked more energetic than in the daytime.He glanced at the books on the bench and said, "Why are you carrying the books by yourself? Where's the maid?"

Su Xi said: "I'm too lazy to call them, anyway, there are not many, I can finish the move by myself."

The light in the courtyard was dim, and Wei Yan saw her looking sleepy, so he had time to look at her seriously.In just over half a month, the little girl lost a lot of weight. Her already small face looked even smaller, her chin was pointed, and her eyes seemed to get bigger. In addition, she was wearing thin clothes tonight. There is a kind of charming and pitiful.

Wei Yan took the book in her hand, gently pinched her small face with one hand, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you lose so much weight?"

Su Xi dodged back, holding her cheeks to prevent him from pinching.

"Don't stop eating in the future, and bring back all the meat that has been lost for a while," Wei Yan said.

Su Xi pursed her lips and muttered: "... Cousin Tingzhou really takes care of a lot."

Wei Yan pretended not to hear her, so he stepped forward and asked, "Where is the study?"

Su Xi followed with a lantern, "Do you want to help me carry the books?"

Wei Feng nodded.

Su Xi thought about it seriously, but she was not polite at all: "Then move quickly. Otherwise, when my maid comes back, she should find you."

After hearing this, Wei Yan curled his lips into a faint smile, and glanced at Su Xi.She is getting more and more impolite, and she is very comfortable in ordering him around.

Seeing that he was not moving, Su Xi blinked and urged, "Why don't you leave? The study hasn't arrived yet."

Wei Yan leaned over slightly, pecked her lips without warning, then straightened up and said, "Let's go."

It wasn't until Wei Yan took a few steps that Su Xi came back to his senses, touched his lips, and said "Deng Tuzi" in his heart, and then raised his heels.

Su Xi didn't publish many books today, and Wei Yan moved a lot at one time, so he finished moving after only four or five trips.

Even so, I still saw him sweating.

Su Xi stood on the porch, took out the handkerchief, measured the height difference between the two of them, handed the handkerchief to him, and said, "Wipe off your sweat yourself."

It happened that the servant girl who was keeping watch at night, Long Chun, came back from the kitchen, Su Xi hurriedly pushed Wei Feng out: "Long Chun is back, you should go."

Wei Yan didn't move at all.

Long Chun came from the other side of the corridor, and quickly came to the front, curiously asked: "Girl, who are you talking to?"

Su Xi blocked the door without changing her expression and said, "I thought you were outside, so I called you a few times." After speaking, she asked, "Didn't I tell you to boil water? Why have you been here for so long?"

Long Chun felt guilty, she had no doubts about Su Xi's words, and said in shame: "Servant, servant accidentally fell asleep..."

Su Xi didn't blame her, she just said that she went to bed first.

Long Chun nodded, "Miss, do you still drink water?"

Su Xi shook her head, "Stop drinking, you can watch outside, if you doze off, just take a nap for a while. The capital is peaceful these days, so nothing will happen."

Long Chun gratefully replied yes.

After Su Xi closed the door, she turned around and saw Wei Feng sitting calmly on her red sandalwood carved pattern beauty couch, she was so angry, if it wasn't for him, why would she always lie like this?She puffed her cheeks, ignored Wei Yan, went to Ba Bu's bed and put down the curtain, ready to sleep.

Wei Yan put his arms around her waist from behind and asked, "Youyou, I helped you move the books, is that why you thank me?"

Su Xi turned around, looked at him and said, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

Wei Yan was silent for a while, and said slowly, "I told you that during the day."

Su Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, Wei Feng said too much during the day, how did she know which sentence he was referring to?
