The night is as dark as ink, the rosewood carved gourd vine fan is slightly opened, and a bit of cool breeze blows into the house. The hot weather in early August was so cold that it was palpitating. In the back room of Shou’antang, there were many people sitting or standing. The old lady Sheng lay flat on the bed, her eyes closed, her eyes were deep black, her face was blue and white with a hint of burnt yellow, and her healthy cheeks were deep. Stuck in, in Minglan’s memory, it seemed as if she had never seen her grandmother as old and sick.
Mama Fang stood there slumped, desperate and at a loss.
Sheng Hong’s heart is like an ant on a hot pot, standing upright in front of the bed for three or four steps, staring at the doctor Lin who is checking the pulse without blinking. After waiting for a long time, he finally couldn’t help saying:” Doctor Lin, my mother…this…?”
Mr. Lin slowly put away the four fingers of his right hand, got up and turned his head and said: “The old man should take a good rest. There should not be too many people in the house. Mr. Shan, take one step to speak.”
Sheng Hong hurriedly went out with Madam Lin. Ming Lan hesitated and glanced at Haishi who was serving by the bed, only to see her smiling and saying, “Sister, go and listen, I’m right here.” Ming Lan Gratefully said: “I’m bothering my wife.” After speaking, hurry out.
When I arrived at the outer hall, I saw that Chang Feng was supporting Sheng Hong to sit up to the top. The Liu family personally offered a bowl of tea to Doctor Lin. Wang repeatedly asked: “What happened?”
Mr. Lin hesitated: “…this…it’s hard to say.” At this moment, he saw Minglan coming out, his eyes flickering slightly, and he hesitated, “Anyway, now it’s stabilized for the time being.” Sheng Hong was greatly relaxed. He breathed and said with gratitude: “Thank you for your troubles. No matter what you need, the imperial physician will just speak up and do what I can.” Doctor Lin smiled and said, “His filial piety is commendable.”
Ming Lan walked over slowly, and whispered: “My grandmother Tathagata is strong, and she is usually good, but she suddenly fell down. Doctor Lin, there is something to say about this.” Wang frowned: “So I was very annoying when I came to see the doctor Lin late. How can you ask me rudely! The doctor makes his own calculation.”
Doctor Lin smiled, “It’s okay, the doctor’s parents, this is our duty.” Then he leaned back slightly, blocking the sight of Wang and the others as if unintentionally, facing Minglan’s eyes, gently said “The elderly are getting older, and their health is inferior to those of young people. There are always such and other problems in the body and bones. I can’t tell what is wrong for a while, so I have to look slowly.”
Ming Lan stared at the doctor Lin and slowly said: “What the doctor said. They all say that the disease is like a mountain…” She gently wiped the corner of her eyes, “After all, grandma is older…”
Wang said with satisfaction: “Exactly. The old man’s body was originally inconsistent. I originally planned to report to you tomorrow morning. Who knows that the subordinates are so quick to call you overnight, and they still seem We won’t take care of it anymore.” Turning around and smiling at Doctor Lin, “Even the trouble with Doctor Lin can’t stop, really…”
Sheng Hong saw that the Wang clan became more and more speechless, and he whispered, “Say a few words. The child is filial, and you still talk!”
Seeing the embarrassment in the hall, Liu said softly: “Although it is not too late, my sister is rare to come here, so she should just stay at home if she doesn’t. I prepared the wing and can be resettled later. “Turning his head to Doctor Lin again, “there are you too…”
Doctor Lin waved his hand and smiled: “It’s common for us to be called in this night. Grandma don’t bother…”
At this moment, Ming Lan suddenly said: “Although grandmother is stable now, she has not yet woken up. I only hope that the imperial doctor can stay one more night so that we can feel at ease. Otherwise, if grandmother breaks out again at night, I can wait. How to be good…”
Wang frowned and was about to speak, Sheng Hong said first: “Exactly. Please also ask the doctor to bother more.” He stood up and bowed his hands, actually wanting to salute. Madam Lin hurriedly got up to return his salute. Although he also had a sixth-rank official, but the Sheng family was full of officials and prominent in-laws, he did not dare to trust him: “Don’t dare to be, don’t dare to be.” He pondered for a moment, and said, “So, I will stay. Give the old lady a few shots, and let Tong’er go back to the medicine hall to get some medicine.”
Ming Lan whispered, “Xie Madam, I will ask someone to **** Tong’er over.”
Doctor Lin arched his hands, “I’m going to write a prescription.” Liu’s had already been prepared, and he hurriedly asked people to bring his pen and ink. The emperor Lin used his pen like wind, and he could get it quickly. Sheng Hong took a look at the prescriptions. Most of them were mild medicines, which were not very effective. He couldn’t help but frown. Seeing the doctor Lin, his face was calm, hesitated for a moment, and could not bear it. Open up.
When Tong’er took the prescription to go out, Doctor Lin turned and went into the back room to see Mrs. Sheng.
Ming Lan said: “It’s late tonight, please rest as soon as possible, the old lady. The third brother also go back.” He went over to hold Liu’s hand again, “The third sister-in-law has just been out of confinement, so you can’t be tired. Body.”
Sheng Hong said: “You also rest. The old lady has your sister-in-law to look after…”
Ming Lan suddenly cried and said: “I have been carefully nurtured by my grandmother since I was a child, and the kindness is very deep, but after all I got married and can’t accompany him day and night. Besides, my sister-in-law has to take care of my nephew and asked me to accompany my grandmother tonight. , It’s also considered filial piety.”
Sheng Hong thought for a moment, “It’s okay. You can take care of the old lady tonight.” He glanced at Wang, “You can rest assured that your wife will serve the old lady’s decoction in the future.”
Wang’s face is ugly, and he bit his lip-the mother-in-law is sick, and indeed the daughter-in-law, not the grandson-in-law, should serve her first.
Sheng Hong went into the back room again and spoke to the unconscious old lady Sheng for a while, and asked Mom Fang to wait and take good care of her. The chattering never ended. Ming Lan smiled and said, “Master is not going to rest. Will you not go to court tomorrow?” Sheng Hong wiped his beard and smiled: “There is nothing wrong with taking a day off.”
Minglan has a soft and graceful expression, and her feelings of admiration are beyond words: “Daddy is also old, and the disciples have to take care of it. The old lady has me here. Daddy is the pillar of the family. Don’t be tired.”
Sheng Hong listened very pleasingly, and was quite helpful in his heart. After being urged by Ming Lan’s soft voice several times, he led Wang and others back.
Seeing the crowds leave in a mighty manner, Ming Lan slowly put away her smile, her eyes were cold, her face mask was frosty, and she said solemnly: “Mother Fang, we have sealed the inside and out of Shou’an Hall. Don’t ask people to walk around. Inquire.”
Mama Fang responded in a low voice. Minglan walked straight into the back room and stared at the doctor Lin, saying every word: “Early doctor Lin is our Lord Hou’s trustworthy man, and I won’t go around. Just ask, how did the old lady fall ill?”
Mr. Lin seemed to be waiting for these words. Hearing that, he stood up and said in a low voice: “Madam Mingjian. The old lady… is indeed strangely ill. Since the afternoon, she has had severe pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and her body from time to time. Convulsions. This…” He hesitated for a while.
Minglan said, “It’s okay to be a doctor, but it doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t look like a disease, but it’s…but it’s…poisoning.”
Minglan’s heartache is like twisting, she takes a deep breath and sits down slowly with her chair: “Maybe you are sure, sir?”
“This…” Madam Lin was embarrassed, “Although I can be sure about it, I can’t guarantee it. If I can check what the old lady eats today, I can confirm the score.”
At this time, Fang’s mother also came in, and she was shocked to hear these words. Minglan asked, “What did grandma eat today?” She has been under the knees of Mrs. Sheng for ten years and is familiar with her habits. Since being a widow, the old lady Sheng has been worshipping Buddha for decades. She has a very regular and restrained daily work, rest, and diet. She is never gluttonous and cold. This is not difficult to check.
Mama Fang said bitterly: “I also feel that this symptom is strange. How can I say that a person such a tough old lady can’t make it?” There are only a few people inside and outside of Shou’antang, and the food is almost bought. They are all independent, and Mommy Fang knows in her heart, “Today the old lady only ate breakfast and lunch, and didn’t use it much. If it’s hot today, it’s easy to eat bad food. I don’t ask the next person to eat the rest, so I dumped the swill bucket. It’s still there now. It’s just…that smell…”
Ming Lan raised a hand and said in a deep voice: “We make the daily meals for grandma. Let’s take it slowly. Apart from two meals, did grandma eat the other meals today?” The mothers in the kitchen are all the old companions of Mrs. Sheng for decades. Their wealth and life are all in the hands of Mrs. Sheng. Suspend this group of people for now.
Mama Fang thought for a moment: “The old lady has become more and more addicted to sweets in recent years. There is a long-standing master in Jufangzhai. The lotus and lotus seed cakes made by him are unique in Beijing. The old lady loves it very much. The master only does it twice a month, and the old lady asks someone to wait to buy it every time…” As she said, she was panic.
Minglan said anxiously: “Speak quickly.”
Mom Fang was sweating down, “At the beginning of this year, the old lady said that Brother Quan is old and he should be polite, so she asked him to please the old man and his wife every day. The wife met her grandson and liked it so much. Take the initiative to take the job, and send someone to wait at the gate of Jufangzhai every day before dawn to buy hot snacks to honor the old lady…”
“So, this time the dim sum was also sent by his wife?” Minglan’s voice trembled slightly.
Mama Fang said in a panic: “It’s been months, nothing happened!”
Minglan stayed for a while, and quickly asked the maid to bring the leftover snacks.
The lotus seed cake is really rich and fragrant, sweet and glutinous and crispy, even if it is cold at the moment, it still exudes the attractive color of golden baking. Madam Lin took a silver needle and carefully opened the puff pastry, examined it from the outside to the inside, and finally poked it back and forth in the filling. Under the light, the silver needle was shining, without any discoloration. He took a sigh of relief-she didn’t want to be the poison of Wang’s.
Who knew that Doctor Lin became more and more solemn, holding the silver needle to poke the fillings, and sniffing, Ming Lan raised her heart again. After a while, Madam Lin put down the silver needle and walked to the couch, raised the old lady’s eyelids and examined it carefully, then turned a fine down feather out of the medicine box and placed it under the old lady’s nose to check the patient’s breathing.
The fine hair trembles rapidly, and the intervals are very irregular, and there are hoarse sniffles, which shows that the patient has difficulty breathing.
After a while, he squeezed his hands and feet, and then knocked on the joints. After working for a long time, Doctor Lin finally stopped and exhaled, “What a great plan.”
“Doctor…?” Minglan stopped breathing.
“It’s indeed poison.” Taiyi Lin turned pale, “It’s not a general poison like arsenic. It is the juice from the ginkgo sprouts, which can be condensed by dozens of catties of sprouts, which can kill humans. .”
Ginkgo biloba is edible, but buds are not edible. In theory, this is food poisoning and cannot be detected by silver needles. Doctor Lin pointed to the remaining half of the snack and said, “It’s as hot as it is today. This snack is sweet and greasy, and the old lady hasn’t eaten a lot. If you add more, it will be hard to save Daluo God.”
Ming Lan trembled and asked: “Can I still be saved?”
“Instigate vomiting with drugs, then put a few injections, and then slowly apply decoctions to cure the poison.” Grand Doctor Lin deliberated, “But the old lady is getting older and she is not as strong as the young man. She may not be able to survive… …”
Ming Lan squeezed her fist tightly, the unstoppable cold sweat on her forehead came out, and she suddenly bowed and blessed, “Everything is called to the great doctor!”
Even though Mrs. Gu Hou in front of him is younger than his daughter, Madam Lin hurriedly responded: “This is my duty.” To be cautious, he also offered to look at the food in the swill bucket. Mama Fang called People went with them.
Step by step, coming out of the back room, Minglan stood in the hall with her neck stubborn, followed by the tearful mother Fang, “…this wolf-hearted…girl, we…but…what can we do? ?”
Ming Lan held a trembling body and smiled softly at Cui Ping: “Cui Ping, you have always been careful, and I have troubled you to look at the old lady up close these few days and be a helper for Doctor Lin.”
“Six girls don’t worry. I save it.” Cuiping wiped away tears.
In the past few days, Rulan accompanied Mrs. Wen to the countryside to walk with relatives. Magpie took her eldest sister, and Rulan let her and Xijuan take a few days off so that she could go back to her family’s home. Lao Zi Niang Cuiping was originally Mrs. Sheng’s companion room, so she must come to Shou’an Hall to please her, and meet some old sisters by the way, reminiscing about the past.
Who knows that when this kind of thing happened, the people in the house suddenly panicked, but the mother of the room was calm, saying that she was no longer a member of the Shengfu, and she didn’t need to match the cards when she went out, and asked her to report to the Houfu.
Seeing that Cuiping entered the back room lightly, Minglan turned around and said: “Mama Fang, please make sure everyone in Shou’antang looks like the situation here, don’t let it go out.”
Mama Fang showed hatred, and said in a deep voice, “Who dare, I immediately wringed her tongue!” She turned around and went out.
Ming Lan took out a small sign from her sleeve, rubbed it slowly in her palm, and said to Xiao Tao: “Do you know how many doors are in this mansion?”
Little Tao swallowed and nodded, “I know. There are five in total, the front door, the back door, the side door next to the front door, and the side door to the west. Oh, the garden next to the pond at the back, and there is one at the end. Chu Xiaomen.” She was born in the countryside and was lively and active since she was young. When everyone saw that she was young and stupid, she walked around the house. She was afraid that there were several dog holes in Shengfu, she knew.
Ming Lan handed out the sign, Xiao Tao took it in a daze, and looked at her for unknown reasons.
“Go to Brother Tujia.” Minglan’s face was as sinking as water, and he said every word, “Let the guards in the mansion, first call to open the door, and block Sheng Mansion from inside! No one is allowed to let go. Get out!”
Little Tao has always been bold and straightforward, puffing up her chest and saying: “Madam, don’t worry. I’m going now.”
When Xiao Tao went out, Lu Zhi shed tears in a daze: “Madam, is it your wife…” She didn’t dare to say further.
Ming Lan stood in front of Luohan’s bed with both hands propped on the bed, staring blankly at the old mahogany rosary, beside the shiny red sandalwood fish, this is the old lady’s beloved thing, used for decades of.
She turned it over slowly, and saw that there were a few shallow white marks on the bottom of the wooden fish-it was the cold winter when she was seven years old, and she was lying on this little table and writing, when she got out of bed Asked the mattress to trip, and the other person and the kid fell off. The old lady turned pale in fright, so she didn’t have time to look at her, so she just picked her up and patted her to coax her.
Ming Lan looked at the white porcelain tea bowl on the little table, only feeling full of resentment, and she wanted to rush out of her chest.
With the intention of doing it, she immediately threw the tea bowl out, hitting the wall until she smashed to pieces, and then let out a sigh of relief—”Bad son!”
The following is the disorder of the word count caused by the system chaos, so I will post part of the content of the next chapter first. These word counts will not be counted separately.
Part 193:
This night, Ming Lan served in front of the sick bed, rubbing her body, inducing vomiting, and even taking care of filth. She was a helper who did not hide. Mother Fang was crying on the side. Doctor Lin looked at it, and she was very moved. The rank of the imperial wife is really rare-the anxiety that made him feel calm again.
Last night, the doctor Lin had just inspected the kitchen, and he suddenly noticed two fierce-looking big men standing at the gate of Shou’an Hall to reply, only an old heart that frightened him. Doing their profession, especially those who are in the hospital, can always run into some of the secrets of the powerful people; therefore, every time you worship the Medicine Master Bodhisattva, in addition to praying for diligent medical skills and treating illnesses, you always have to examine yourself. Quit talking and asking, your tone must be tight, and be careful-so as not to suffer from the fish.
After changing the clean clothes brought by Tong’er, Fang’s mother politely asked the doctor Lin to go to the side room to rest for a while, while Minglan took a rest on the lounge chair in the old lady’s room; The sky was still dark, and Ming Lan woke up and heard a dispute outside the house.
“…What does Grandma Liugu mean? You don’t call in or call out, and you dare to beat people…Master is going to court…”
Ming Lan smiled slightly, got up and let Lu Zhi change into her new clothes, combed a simple head, and then walked out calmly. It was Mama Qian who was arguing with Mama Fang. She met Minglan and immediately said, “…Oh, grandma Liugu, there are so many scary gangsters in the night…”
Ming Lan waved her hand to make her whisper, and then said: “No need to say more, I will go with you to meet your wife and master.” As she said, she strode out, and Lu Zhi took a small baggage to follow her. Mother Qian stayed for a while, and quickly followed.
