Chapter 16 Seeing a Doctor
Although she is older, the woman has revealed the mature charm and grace of a noble lady from aristocratic family, but her gorgeous and somewhat arrogant facial features and the desire hidden in her eyes and Shen Fu, Xiao Jinyu had to think of that person.
The cousin of the current emperor was Chen Jianchen, the daughter of Emperor Chen Wu and Chen Baxian.
It was just more than ten years ago that she was not a princess, Chen Shili was not the emperor, and Chen Baxian was not the founding emperor, but just a country official from a humble background. If it were not for the recommendation of his grandfather and the appreciation of the new prince, Chen might never be the emperor. Without entering the political center of Nanliang, it would be even more impossible for someone to proclaim himself emperor on behalf of Liang in the future.
Under the guidance of the new Yu Hou Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian gradually rose from a small oil depot official to a frontier official with military power. The Chen family also followed suit. As the daughter of Chen Governor, Chen Jianchen was just a mere A humble and timid girl from a poor family, when they met at a banquet by chance, the eyes that looked at her were filled with endless envy and a burning desire that was hard to see clearly.
At that time, she didn't understand what this desire was, but now that she thought about it, she probably wanted to replace her or override her.
However, the ambition burning in the eyes of a girl of cardamom age is no less than that of a man, and it is exactly the same as that of her cousin Chen Shili.
More than ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye. Now she is no longer Xie Yuqing, and that woman must have changed a lot, right?
With his thoughts pulled back, Xiao Jinyu looked at this woman, and the woman also looked at her curiously.
"You are the famous doctor invited by Qi Lang. When did you meet Qi Lang from the Xiao family? What is your surname? What is your name?" Princess Yunyin had already asked, tapping a white porcelain flower with her long nails. A trace of temptation and arrogance appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Jinyu chuckled softly. As if he couldn't bear the arrogant attitude of this woman's interrogation, Phoenix answered first: "The reputation of the famous man of the Xiao family is spread in Jiangzuo. Who in the world doesn't know it? Besides, my brother Qing is here to treat your wife. , I’m not here to be interrogated by you. What does her name have to do with you?”
Princess Yunyin's face froze. No one in the entire Xiao family mansion dared to speak to her like this.
"Bold, where did you come from, a wild boy? How dare you speak to our princess like this." Sensing the displeasure of the mistress, Jiang Nu shouted.
Princess Yunyin raised her hand to stop Jiang Nu's shouting, and looked at Phoenix carefully.
"What a handsome face. He is already so handsome at a young age. I don't know how stunning he will be when he grows up. It's not an exaggeration to think that he is better than Han Zi, who fascinated Emperor Wen back then and even changed his destiny to be a male empress. "
Princess Yunyin sighed suddenly, and Jiang Nuo blushed. After glancing at Phoenix, she also bowed and retreated.
"That's fine. I won't ask you how you met Qilang, nor will I ask your names. However, I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"My wife, the Xiao family, is not someone who can be treated casually, not even by doctors. If you can cure her, I will naturally reward you with a lot of rewards. If you can't cure her well, then you can't even think of leaving the Xiao family again. "
"Not leaving the Xiao family? Then what do you want us to do?" Fenghuang asked.
Princess Yunyin smiled with unknown meaning and did not answer directly. She only said: "You will know when the time comes." After saying that, she ordered an old woman behind her, "Take them to Lingqing Pavilion!"
Such a mysterious pretense.
Phoenix ignored it.
The two of them followed the old woman for a few steps, and suddenly heard another voice coming from behind: "Oh, by the way, since you don't want to name yourself, you should tell me how to call you, right?"
"My brother's last name is..."
Fenghuang was about to answer when Xiao Jinyu interrupted: "Ge."
"Ge? Could it be that he is still the queen of Ge Hong Ge Immortal?"
Princess Yunyin smiled, but Xiao Jinyu ignored her. After stopping for a moment, she and Fenghuang followed the old woman to Lingqing Pavilion where Sanniang of the Xiao family lived.
Along the way, I learned from the old woman that Xiao Shiniang was the only daughter left in the house of Xiao's eldest son. Xiao Qi, the eldest son of Xiao, was the first son born to Xiao Jian and his wife Xiao Yuan. Four years ago, Xiao Qi ignored family objections and married a low-class noblewoman, Feng. A year later, Feng gave birth to a daughter, but she died soon after due to postpartum depression.
A year after Feng's death, the Xiao family chief wanted Xiao Qi to marry the Zhu family, but he never thought that Xiao Qi was a long-term lover. He said that he wanted to abide by the rules of his wife and not marry her for three years. But before three years came, Xiao Qi got a cough and followed him.
Now Xiao Ruoling is the only granddaughter left in the eldest house, and she is also a short-lived one, which brings a lot of bad luck to the family. And because this girl seems to be destined to be evil, whoever is next to her will be unlucky. From top to bottom of the Xiao family, Even the servants and wives didn't like her very much.
Therefore, Princess Yunyin, the mistress of the Xiao family, arranged a remote and quiet place for her to recuperate, saying that she would be well recuperated and no one could disturb her.
Standing in front of the small house overgrown with weeds, Xiao Jinyu looked around at the quiet environment without any fireworks, and couldn't help but sigh, this is really a "paradise" that no one cares about and is isolated from the world.
If you were to walk here at night, you might think you were entering an uninhabited haunted house.
"Two gentlemen, this is the residence of the tenth lady."
The old woman said something. Xiao Jinyu came to her senses and nodded, then walked into the back room. She saw a girl of twelve or thirteen years old lying on a bed. Her thin body was as thin as a piece of paper. The girl The coughing sound was continuous, and seemed to be mixed with thick phlegm. A maid with a double bun next to the bed was holding a spittoon, patting the girl's back. On the table next to it was a half-drunk bowl of medicinal soup.
There was also a piece of it sprinkled on the ground, perhaps the girl had just vomited it out.
"Girl, you must drink this medicine. You vomited while drinking it. How can you feel better?" The maid looked worried.
"What should we do? Qi Langjun has repeatedly warned..."
At this time, Xiao Jinyu said: "Fenghuang, go bring the medicine and let me take a look."
The maid suddenly heard the sound and was startled. She raised her head and saw that a maid had entered the room, along with two unidentified outsiders.
The maid recognized the servant woman at a glance as Concubine Wei from the mistress's courtyard. She hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I have seen Concubine Wei before, and I didn't know she was here. But what are your orders from the mistress?"
Even slaves in aristocratic families are divided into strict hierarchies. It can be seen that compared with the status of this old woman, this servant is not only a little lower than the status of the old woman.
"Is your wife's illness getting better?" After receiving such courtesy, Wei Wei naturally put on a high profile.
The maid quickly replied: "My lady, my lady's illness..."
"Is it good or not? Why are you so hesitant when talking?"
The maid was a little timid and quickly replied: "Yes, I don't dare to lie. I'm afraid the girl's illness is..."
The girl lying on the bed immediately looked at me, stood up and said, "I would like to thank my grandmother for her concern. My illness has gotten much better, so I don't care about my grandmother."
Wei Concubine, on the other hand, exposed herself and said mockingly: "Ten Niangzi, please don't hold on and say anything heartbreaking. The mistress is always thinking about the body of Ten Niangzi. After all, Ten Niangzi's life is also the same as that of the eldest husband and the eldest son." In exchange for it, Madam.”
The girl's face changed slightly. After all, she was young, and her clear eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
"No, the mistress has invited a famous doctor to come and take a look at the tenth lady."
Wei Wei added another sentence, and then the girl turned her eyes to Xiao Jinyu. After only one glance, she said feebly: "No, thank you grandma for me. I am afraid that my illness cannot be cured. If I pass it on to others, , but it’s not good, just let me accumulate some virtue before I leave!”
"Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper. Living in this world is a torment, but being alive is your greatest blessing and luck. Not only is you blessed, but also Why do you want to die?"
The girl suddenly raised her head and seemed to be looking at Xiao Jinyu.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu had already walked up to her, sat down, and said gently: "Look at me, stretch out your hand."
The girl was doubtful, but Xiao Jinyu's voice seemed to bring her an inexplicable sense of stability. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and placed a piece of her bright wrist on the folded handkerchief.
Xiao Jinyu stretched out his finger and pointed at her wrist. After a while, he said, "Stick out your tongue again and let me see."
After hesitating for a moment, the girl followed suit.
After Xiao Jinyu looked at it, he asked, "Did you fall into the water a month ago? That's why you got this cough?"
Before the girl could answer, the maid next to her kept saying: "Yes, the lady did accidentally fall into the pond a month ago. After that, her whole body started to feel hot, and then she started coughing."
A month ago, when the ice and snow were melting, there might still be ice in the water, so you can imagine how cold it was.
Xiao Jinyu saw a hint of vigilance and sadness in the girl's eyes.
After a while, she stood up and said: "I fell into the water a month ago and cold air entered my body. After that, although I took a lot of medicine to detoxify the cold, it did not stop the cold air from entering the bones. It condensed and did not disperse. Over time, I developed a cough." "
"Is there any way to cure it?" the maid asked quickly.
Xiao Jinyu looked at the girl, then looked around with his peripheral vision, and suddenly said: "If it is a common cold disease, it will be easy to treat, but this..." After a moment of pause, "I can give a prescription to try."
"You Tan, quickly get a pen for this miracle doctor." The girl quickly ordered.
The maid named You Tan hurriedly answered and took pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a box.
It was just the most common woolen pen and hemp paper, which were far different from the deer hair pen and Saeki paper she used in her previous life.
Xiao Jinyu picked up the pen and started writing on the rough paper. After a while, she was about to hand over the written prescription to Xiao Ruoling, the tenth wife of the Xiao family. At this moment, Wei Wei, who had been watching, said: " Wait, please Ge Langjun, please show this recipe to me, and please forgive me. All food and medicines passed through the mouth must be inspected by our mistress."
