The only time Yu Jinnian had anything to do with candied ginger recently was on the day of the Cold Clothes Festival. Because of the sudden cold weather that day, he specially made candied ginger to warm Ji Hong's stomach. Later, he apologized for being late. He also gave one pack of candied ginger slices to Master Yixin in Fengbo Temple.
He almost forgot about this matter at first, but today he was reminded by the candied ginger slices brought out by this little girl, and then he remembered it.
Yixin, that little monk is really weird and always gives people an uncomfortable feeling, but what does he have to do with that white robed monk.
Yu Jinnian asked, "The sorcerer your family invited, but that monk in white?"
Little Jiao Niang nodded: "Exactly. The master in white clothes said that this vegetarian restaurant can only be used by people with pure and quiet minds to drive away evil spirits and bad luck. So I asked for a bowl of noodle restaurant Boss Yu by name." You do it."
This is really flattering him, he is a little noodle shop guy, if the dishes he cooks can drive away bad luck, then how many months earlier would he have been prosperous, and he still has to wake up and work hard every day, worrying about his livelihood
And it was the Yang family who invited him, Yu Jinnian thought it over and hesitated.
It's just that the little girl was very stubborn. Seeing that Yu Jinnian was unwilling to go with her, she stood in front of the door and refused to leave. Qing Huan went over to persuade her, but she not only refused to listen, but knelt down in front of the door with a plop, and said straight: "If Boss Yu refuses to agree, then I will be beaten to death on both sides. It's better to just kneel here and wait for Boss Yu to show kindness. On the way here just now, I heard that Boss Yu still knows how to cure diseases and save lives. If you understand us as slaves, you should help me save my life... "
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
I don't know if the phrase "I'm going to be beaten to death" is a common catchphrase among the servants of the Yang family, or the Yang family likes to beat the servants because of their habit, why no matter who they are, they always say this sentence outside, and one Everyone said it so smoothly.
Yu Jinnian treats diseases and saves people in his job, and cooks and cooks as a side job. Even though these two things are his favorite things to do, even if he has the ability, if someone tells him "You are a good person, you must save me" to force him to do something, This made him very unhappy, and it felt like a moral kidnapping. To put it bluntly, firstly, he confiscated the deposit from the Yang family, and secondly, he did not make any agreement with the Yang family. Last time he was beaten by Yang Jufu and sent him home, it was called affection. It's their duty, why should they send a little maid over to force them to die
If the business fails, there is still benevolence and righteousness.
What's more, he already disliked the Yang family in his heart, so he didn't have any good feelings for them at all.
Qing Huan saw that the little Jiao Niang couldn't get up, she knelt on the ground and only said "If Boss Yu doesn't agree, she won't get up", so she turned her head to look at Brother Nian's expression in distress.
Yu Jinnian had a rare temper tantrum, pulled Qing Huan back, slammed the store door shut, and said, out of sight and out of mind, "Then let her kneel and forget it!"
He went back to the back kitchen angrily. There was still a portion of walnut porridge stewed in the small soup pot, which consisted of a tael of walnut meat crushed from shelled walnuts and two taels of fragrant japonica rice. Slowly grind the walnut rice on the back of the dipper to stew it into a pot of thick rice paste. When the porridge surface continues to swell and burst into small round bubbles, grab two pieces of rock sugar and put it in to melt.
Although Qing Huan and the others said that Ji Hong had a big mouth, Yu Jinnian felt that this man was easy to support. No matter what weird dishes he cooked, Ji Hong didn't complain at all. He could eat salty and spicy food. At one point, he didn't resist sweets, so he couldn't see what this person particularly disliked, nor could he guess what he particularly liked.
So Yu Jinnian always eats with him whatever he thinks of, today's walnut porridge is like this, because he roasted golden bells overnight, and he hasn't made a health-preserving meal for Ji Hong for several days. The man stayed with him for so many days and nights, although he said he wasn't tired, in fact, everyone could see the faint bruises under his eyes, so Yu Jinnian thought of stewing walnut porridge to strengthen his waist, Tonify the kidney with him.
The walnut porridge was ready soon, and Yu Jinnian boiled the water again, and ordered Qing Huan to boil the water to make a pot of clear tea, and then went back to the room with the porridge bowl. It was still early, so he made an appointment with Ji Hong Well, I want to write in capital letters.
In the room, one drank porridge and the other wrote. Yu Jinnian wrote several pieces, but Ji Hong was not satisfied and called to stop, so he couldn't help but feel bored, so he told the Yang family sent someone to invite him to go to vegetarian. Agreeing him to go, the two reached an agreement on this, Yu Jinnian said: "What is the relationship between Master Yixin and that white-robed monk?"
Ji Hong asked without answering: "What do you think?"
Yu Jinnian speculated for a while, and said: "Either, he was devoted to acquaintance with that white-robed monk, so that white-robed monk entrusted his whole-hearted and single-hearted favor in order to invite me to go for a meal. Or..."
He frowned when he said this, so he stopped talking.
Ji Hong scooped up a spoonful of porridge, let it cool down a bit, passed it to the young man's lips, and said for him, "Either, Yixin is the white-robed monk."
Yu Jinnian tilted his head very naturally, opened his mouth to hold the porcelain spoon, his teeth made a soft and crisp sound as he bit the porcelain, and after finishing the spoonful of walnut porridge, he licked his lips, nodded and said, "Yeah , In other words, that white-robed monk is not an eminent monk at all, let alone an immortal master. But why did Yixin pretend to be a divine monk? Could it be that he was greedy for money and bluffed and deceived?"
"It must be like this. You don't know. His set of nine pins of the Spirit Pivot is made of pure gold. It looks very precious. Maybe it came from a rich family somewhere. If Yixin is not greedy for money, he can still be For what!" He guessed like this, and felt that his thoughts were so correct, otherwise there would not be so many gold, silver and jewels hidden in the room of the single-minded little master, and his hands were so generous.
"Oh, you don't know, each of the nine needles has a different use. But many doctors don't know how to use them, so many of them are discarded. It's a pity... Alas, I'm not very good at using them either. of… "
Ji Hong heard him talking about the set of golden needles that he almost got, and his face was full of longing and regret, obviously he was still thinking about the set of needles. Now that he thought of needles, he would inevitably think of Yixin, and Ji Hong couldn't help but feel bad, so he scooped up another spoonful of walnut porridge and gagged the boy's mouth.
Yu Jinnian finished eating two spoonfuls, but he hadn't realized Ji Hong's intentions yet.
"Don't say anything." Ji Hong pressed his head and said very heartlessly, "Continue writing."
Yu Jinnian put the pen on the small wooden pen mountain. This mountain was the first day when Ji Hong taught him how to practice calligraphy. Yu Jinnian cut it out by himself with a small scrap of wood. He was so happy that day that his hand suddenly became stupid I usually don't like to blink my eyes more when peeling radish flowers when cooking, but that day I peeled a hole excitedly.
At that time, I was very discouraged and wanted to throw away the heavy cutting. Later, Ji Hong took it and carved a pattern through the hole, which was absolutely seamless. Only then did he know that apart from good-looking handwriting, Ji Hong was also good at seal carving.
When Yu Jinnian saw the small pen mountain, he thought of this, his eyes lit up, he put down the pen and ink and said excitedly to Ji Hong, "We don't want to write, Ah Hong, why don't you teach me to carve a seal too!"
Ji Hong didn't know why he thought of this all of a sudden, and said with a light smile, "I still can't read all the words, so I thought about asking for a seal?"
Yu Jinnian imagined: "In this way, when I go to cook noodles for others in the future, there will be a special chapter on the menu, so that everyone knows that it is Yu Jinnian from the bowl of noodle restaurant who made this set of dishes. Or go out to give people If you see a disease, you will also fall into this chapter, how much face... okay?"
Ji Hong knew that Yu Jinnian was full of bad water. After looking at the boy a few times, he concluded that he didn't mean to want a chapter, but just didn't want to write, so he sighed and said, "Well, let me go out with you a few times. If you recognize all these characters, you can stop writing them today.”
"Come on!" Yu Jinnian said confidently.
He said that he had laid a new piece of paper and finished the ink, and sat in front of the desk waiting for Ji Hong to come up with a question. Unexpectedly, Young Master Ji didn't play cards according to common sense. After putting down the porridge bowl, he wrote directly on his back with his fingers.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of fingers moving on his back, and it was continuous from top to bottom. Yu Jinnian's shoulders trembled slightly. He subconsciously glanced back at Ji Hong, but the man pinched his jaw and turned back. He also told him not to peek.
Ji Hong's fingers were very light, as if he was afraid of hurting him, and the feeling was even more hazy through several layers of clothing. It was said that it was writing, but from the perspective of Yu Jinnian whose back was turned to him, it was more like touching. There was a slight friction between the fingertips and the back, as if the fabric was entangled with Ji Hong's fingers, and a slight numbness slipped out and rushed into the body along the spine.
Yu Jinnian just felt like his hair was going to stand on end, how could he care about what Ji Hong wrote!
"What word?" Ji Hong's voice sounded from behind his ears.
Yu Jinnian's ears warmed up, and he was ashamed of his lack of focus for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "No, I don't know...you write it again!"
Ji Hong laughed lightly, and wrote it again. Yu Jinnian felt it carefully for a while this time, and only recognized a few unusually complicated strokes, but he didn't recognize which character it was, and said in annoyance for a while. : "I haven't seen this one before, don't play tricks, and make another one."
"Okay." He wrote again.
"Hmm..." Yu Jinnian frowned and guessed with his chin in his hands, "Reason!"
Ji Hong smiled and shook his head.
"I see, Luan, Luan of mountains!"
Ji Hong still shook his head: "No."
"..."
Seeing that he couldn't recognize him, Ji Hong wrote several more in succession. Yu Jinnian racked his brains, but he only recognized one. He gritted his teeth angrily and refused to admit that he was not good at learning Chinese characters. Instead, he blamed that he was wearing too many clothes and Ji Hong wrote too lightly. He immediately took off the outer layers of clothes and threw them on the ground. She only put on a thin obscene garment, pulled her hair to one side, revealing a part of her white neck, grabbed a futon and placed it on the ground, sat down and said, "If you write again, I will definitely recognize it."
Because of the frequent washing and reluctance to change, the obscene clothes on Yu Jinnian's body are no longer snow white, but yellowish milky white, but also because they are often worn, they are extremely soft and close-fitting, which sets off the slender figure of the young man come out. When Ji Hong's fingers landed on it, he could still feel the warmth from under the thin fabric.
Ji Hong lowered his eyes to prevent himself from thinking wildly, and wrote a big word on the boy's back.
Yu Jinnian still didn't recognize him, this time there was really nothing to explain, he hung his head down, and fell back listlessly, so frightened that Ji Hong immediately straightened his back and surrounded him, and hit him: "Why, is this admitting defeat?"
"Oh." Yu Jinnian sighed, "I was wrong, what word is that?"
Ji Hong circled him in front of him, picked up the boy's hand, and wrote on his palm: "Luan."
Yu Jinnian was troubled by the words in his stomach, he didn't think much, he just traced it in his hand several times as if earnestly and studiously, he only heard the sound like "random", but he didn't know which word it was, So he raised his head, blinked his bright eyes and asked him, "What does this word mean?"
Ji Hong scraped the boy's upturned nose, rubbed him in his arms, and said flatly, "It's my name, Shuluan."
Since it is a character, it should almost match his name, and Yu Jinnian can guess which one it is. Luan, a kind of ancient divine bird, matches Hong very well. It turned out that Ji Hong still had a word. But that's right, how could such an extremely elegant nobleman not have a sign.
"Ji Shuluan..." Yu Jinnian rolled these three words on the tip of his tongue several times, thinking it sounded good.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help squinting his eyes and laughing, looking very happy.
Ji Hong looked at Yu Jinnian, but he didn't see any special reaction from him. While his heart gradually settled down, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Since he was going back to Beijing sooner or later, before that day came, he had to let the young man understand his affairs, and it was hard to bring back an ignorant daredevil. Central Beijing is no more carefree than Xin'an County. Although the emperor's feet cannot be called a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, if he really eats people, he won't spit out a single bone.
The two had their own concerns. Yu Jinnian was sitting in Ji Hong's arms and writing the words "Ji Shuluan", when Qing Huan came over with tea and knocked on the door, he just opened his mouth to say "Come in", when he glanced sideways, he suddenly changed his words: "Wait a minute!"
Then Ji Hong saw him jump up, tidy up the clothes thrown on the ground, pretend to put his coat on his shoulders, and then went to open the door.
A gust of cold wind blew in, blowing the thin shirt off Yu Jinnian's shoulders. Ji Hong got up and took a thick cloak, walked over and put his hands on the young man, and wrapped him up again, stirring Yu Jinnian couldn't spare his hands to carry the tea tray.
"No, I'm out of hands..."
"Wear it, it's windy."
"No, strangle me..."
"Fasten it, and be careful not to catch a cold."
Seeing that Brother Nian was tidied up properly inside and out by Mr. Ji with a stern face, he was wrapped into a bulging ball, but he didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal, Qing Huan laughed, and suddenly remembered the maid outside, and said cautiously "It's windy outside. It's just... the maidservant from Yang's mansion is still kneeling there. She is wearing thin clothes and has been sneezing a series of times. If she is really asked to kneel down, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow morning." Frost sick..."
Yu Jinnian was surprised and said: "It's been all night, why haven't you left yet, isn't it really going to kneel until dawn?"
Qing Huan hesitated: "How about I drive her away?"
The two were hesitating whether or not to catch up and how to catch up, but Ji Hong suddenly sneered and said: "The monk in white has done this, it must be you. If he wants to play tricks, why are you driving away a man today?" The maidservant will be able to settle it. Since that's the case, why don't you follow his wishes and have a encounter with the Yang family, and I'll see what he's going to do."
Yu Jinnian: "... eh?"
—
Yu Jinnian couldn't believe that such an unreliable decision was actually made by Ji Hong. He stared at the man suspiciously for a long time, wondering if this man had changed inside the shell? However, although this decision sounded like going to the Yang Mansion to watch the excitement, it did not dampen Yu Jinnian's enthusiasm. He was not interested in the messy things in the Yang Mansion, but was a little curious about the white-robed monk.
Who is the white-robed monk? Did he just pretend to be an eminent monk to cheat money, and why did he have to call him to go to the feast? Is this a friendship born of eating a bag of candied ginger slices? Could it be that he just thinks that he is too rich and not enough, and that he wants to help Yu Jinnian, so that he will get rich first and then get rich later, so that he will not be able to get rich
Embracing an unsolved mystery, Yu Jinnian brought Ji Hong and Qing Huan, and the three of them followed the weeping little Jiao Niang to Yang's mansion that night.
It has to be said that the people of the Yang Mansion are indeed open-faced. The three of them just entered the door, and before they could see the path clearly, they took a lot of rewards and were led to a small courtyard near the big kitchen. Although the yard is not far from the big kitchen, it is very quiet, and there are no fancy decorations.
As soon as they settled down, the butler who I had seen before arrived in a mighty manner with a group of servants and maidservants. These servants were nimble, and as soon as they came in, they quickly cleaned up the yard and replaced it with brand new ones. They also brought a pot of charcoal to warm the house. It is said that the weather has turned cold and no one has lived in the courtyard for a long time.
The housekeeper respectfully said: "Before my master and Boss Yu had some misunderstandings, it was really impolite. Since you are recommended by your master, you can stay here at ease. If there is any shortage, please tell the servants below to eat vegetarian food for the next three days. Banyan, Boss Yu, please take care of me."
Yu Jinnian exchanged pleasantries with him, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
The guard smiled apologetically, "Where is that?"
Yu Jinnian asked to see the white-robed monk, but the housekeeper replied to him with great difficulty: "It's true that my family doesn't want to let him go. That master is currently sitting in meditation in his room for several days, and he specifically told us not to go in and disturb him. I just put a bowl of glutinous rice and a pot of water in front of his door, nothing else is needed. This... the Buddhist ceremony will start tomorrow, why not wait for the master to leave the seclusion, and it is not too late to see you again?"
He said so, Yu Jinnian had no choice but to give up.
It's just that Yu Jinnian met another acquaintance before the white-robed monk left the customs the next day.
Later that day, because Yu Jinnian couldn't stand being surrounded by a group of servants, he sent them back to sleep. After they were all gone, he found that the candles in the room were almost burnt out, and he didn't see them after searching for a long time Where are the spare candles? It's really self-inflicted. If I knew it, I would have left a vigil or two.
For a moment he was worried that Ji Hong would suffer from a fear of the dark, so he went out of the courtyard to call for someone.
In this way, I happened to see the little girl who was kneeling in front of their noodle restaurant before, quietly leading the two people in, and looked at the two people from a distance, one was tall and thin, and the other was short and slightly fat , the shorter one is carrying a medicine box. Several people stopped on a cobblestone road and began to argue.
Because of the stillness of the night, the voices of the three of them could be heard intermittently from a distance. They vaguely heard some humble words such as "Please be wise" and "I'm not talented", but the little girl was miserable. He replied, "It's all for you to see", "Please do me a favor"... The two evaded this for a long time, and Xiaojiao Niang stuffed something into the other's hand, and the man said "Okay, okay" Sighing twice, he continued to follow her.
It seems to be the invited doctor.
It wasn't until the three of them walked around the cobblestone path that Yu Jinnian thought of avoiding him, but it was too late, the little girl had already seen him, and a slightly surprised expression appeared on her face.
Yu Jinnian was about to turn his head and pretend he didn't see anything, but someone stopped him abruptly: "It's you!"
When he looked up, he was completely speechless—this is no longer a gathering of friends, this is God wanting to call all the people who have had a feud with him to Yang's mansion, and let everyone have a banquet to catch up on the old days!
The man was carrying the medicine box on his back, and even laughed a few times, walked over as if he was meeting an old friend again, and greeted warmly: "Isn't this Mr. Yu Xiao? Oh, it's been a long time. Mr. Xiao has been doing well recently, and it's the same today." Came here for a doctor's visit?"
"..." Yu Jinnian glared at him, wondering if I know you very well, but no matter how dissatisfied I am in my stomach, it's not easy to express it directly on my face, so I dryly made a smirk and said, "Isn't this Is it the magic doctor Zou? You are not talented, and you are not here for a doctor today, but to be a cook."
But as soon as Yu Jinnian finished speaking, Zou Heng showed a look of contempt on his face, as if he looked down on Yu Jinnian very much.
Although he himself is not a noble family, his ancestors are also from Jinshi. At least he is a scholarly family. Even if his family is in decline, he still feels superior to others. ". It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Yu Jinnian, a boy who doesn't know where he came from, spends all day cooking poultry and slaughtering sheep in the kitchen stove. Comparing, even comparing him with Yu Jinnian, he thought it was a drop in price.
Moreover, he has inquired around, and no one in the neighborhood of Xin'an County has received such a young apprentice, so even if Yu Jinnian seems to have learned two tricks of medicine from someone, which can cure a headache and brain fever, there must be an element of misunderstanding , is not worth mentioning.
Just now Yang Mansion sent someone to invite him to see him again, he really didn't want to come, because the disease had never been heard of before, and he had never seen the same kind since then, he had been diagnosed and treated for more than a year, but still no improvement Well, this condition is really weird.
But the kindness of the Yang family was hard to turn down, and he couldn't shirk the huge sum of money to hire him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it again.
Who would have thought that he ran into Yu Jinnian who had made him look so embarrassed in the Yang Mansion! He has long been disgusted with this kid, and today is really a good opportunity to take revenge - he has never seen the second wife's illness, how can such a young man who has not yet reached the crown be cured!
Therefore, even though Zou Heng looked down on Yu Jinnian very much, he still suppressed the disgust and disgust in his eyes, smiled and leaned up to hold his hand, and praised Yu Jinnian against his will and familiarity: "Mr. It is a great coincidence to meet a young talent today, if you invite Mr. Xiao and Zou to go for a diagnosis and treatment, it is also a good thing for the welfare of the patient."
Looking at Zou Heng's expression, Yu Jinnian deeply felt that if he was asked to boast a few more words, he might be able to spit it out on the spot.
He was afraid that Zou Heng wouldn't be able to vomit, so he hurriedly humbly said: "I'm so proud of you, I'm so proud of you, I don't know how amazing doctor Zou is, and he's skilled in medicine. I'm here today, but I'm just a cook who came to cook a vegetarian feast with the master. I really can't serve it." On the countertop, to be praised by Divine Doctor Zou so much, it really breaks my heart... Divine Doctor, you are busy, please, Divine Doctor!"
He said he was going to withdraw, so he didn't want to be fooled by Zou Heng, and he followed him after being praised a few times, then he might not be a fool.
How could Zou Heng let him go? Even if Mrs. Li was given another one hundred taels of gold for his illness, he would not be able to see any tricks. He had been treated for a year with the money from the Yang family, but nothing improved. Even he couldn't help but feel that his face was dull, which was simply smashing his reputation as a genius doctor. Today, he has to drag Yu Jinnian over no matter what he says, even if it is used as a shield for him, at least it can show that the disease is too strange, not that Zou Heng's medical skills are not good enough.
So Zou Heng grabbed Yu Jinnian by the back of the collar, gritted his teeth for a while, and exaggerated against his "conscience": "Mr. Yu, you have the magic of the living dead, you must not be so humble The Tao is the most important thing in human life, and there is a precious daughter. Mr. Xiao has a wide range of medical resources and intensive research on medical principles. He will surely be able to cure the disease and start a spring. I hope that Mr. Xiao and Zou will go to the diagnosis and treatment together!"
"..." How could there be such a shameless person in this world!
Before Yu Jinnian could come up with something new to disgust Zou Heng, Doctor Zou had already grabbed his wrist and dragged him away: "Don't say no, Mr. Xiao, let's go with Zou now!"
The little maids at the side were all dumbfounded, and when they came back to their senses, Zou Heng and Yu Jinnian had already walked to the second lady's courtyard.
But Yu Jinnian didn't know whose yard he came to, he just felt that the yard was extremely spacious and simple, not at all like the exaggerated style of the Yang family who wanted to paste gold leaf on the threshold, and it seemed... too simple some.
There are no flower beds in the courtyard, not even a potted ornament, and the cobblestone road extending all the way here suddenly cuts off in front of the courtyard. After passing through the moon gate, there is a thick sandy field inside , like a sand pond, Yu Jinnian stepped over it, but after a while, the instep was buried by the flowing fine sand.
He was surprised for a moment, and thought to himself, could it be that this patient is so interested and wants to create an artificial beach to bask in the sun
Before he could figure it out, the little maidservant walked to the front of the room with one foot deep and one foot shallow, knocked on the door, and said softly: "Madam, Dr. Zou is here."
After being stunned for a while, a servant woman hurried out from inside, looked at them with her head, waved her hand impatiently and said to the little maidservant: "Come in quickly, ask the divine doctor to come in, what are you doing, why are you so slow!"
The maidservant only dared to say yes again and again, and bowed to let Zou Heng and the others in.
Yu Jinnian was also dragged in, and the door behind him was closed firmly with a bang, he was taken aback, thinking that this is not inviting a doctor to see a doctor, this posture is like torture.
The room is deeper than Yu Jinnian imagined. The strangest thing is that the whole room with the window is covered with thick opaque silk. There is no large flower glaze vase in the corner of the table, not even the most common embroidery wooden frame and sewing basket in women's rooms, and a thick quilt is nailed to one wall.
This decoration alone can no longer be described as "strange".
Zou Heng wiped off his sweat as soon as he came in, but he still held onto Yu Jinnian tightly, for fear that if he lost his hand, Yu Jinnian would turn around and run away. He glanced at the apprentice he had brought, and the tall and thin young man took the medicine box from Zou Heng's shoulder, put it on the table, opened one of the small drawers, and took out a soft cloth to wrap the pulse pillow.
Yu Jinnian looked around, and suddenly heard a few miserable cries from behind the curtain in the depths of the room, he couldn't help being startled, followed the sound, and saw the blue embroidered curtain with goldfish tail patterns Suddenly being lifted up from inside, a woman with disheveled hair ran out. She was sluggish, her expression was chaotic, her feet were bare, her pupils were wide open, and she staggered out, shouting something indiscriminately: "He wants to come It's coming! He's coming again! Don't let him come!... Don't let him come!"
He was startled suddenly, he hastily turned sideways to avoid being bumped head-on by the woman.
Immediately afterwards, three or four maidservants ran out from behind the curtain, chasing and catching the woman, and they chased after them and shouted: "Madam, Madam, there is really no one coming, don't run away, be careful! Go!"
The maid from before also looked irritable, and commanded: "Why are you so dazed, don't hurry up and help Madam!"
What a mess.
Zou Heng seemed to be used to this scene, and remained indifferent all the time. He just stood by with his face down. When the maidservants managed to catch the woman, he was greatly relieved. He picked up the pulse diagnosis and walked over to take the pulse. Last year, Yu Jinnian passed by together.
Yu Jinnian heard that these servants and maidservants all called this woman "Madame", but Yang Jufu's original wife is long gone, and the Yang family now has only two wives, one is Mrs. Zhao from the third master's room that Yu Jinnian met at the banquet , then the person in front of me should be Mrs. Li, the original partner of Second Master Yang who is said to have never shown up.
This Mrs. Li has always only lived in the mouths of her servants. It is said that she has been ill for a long time and has not recovered for a long time, so it is inconvenient to see others.
Now it seems that she is not sick, but crazy.
Mrs. Li was surrounded by a group of maidservants, who said they were helping, but in fact they were subduing her. She shook her head indiscriminately and cried miserably: "It's time again, that thing is coming again! Help me, divine doctor!" Help me..." After calling for a long time, she suddenly had new hope and shouted: "Master, where is Master Cheng Kong?! He can save me, he can save me!"
The little maidservant who stole the Lotus Sutra whispered, "Ma'am, Master Cheng Kong is really not in Fengbo Temple..."
"Impossible, how is this possible! You lied to me, you are all in the same group, you just can't see me well!" She looked up to see Yu Jinnian, seeing that she had never seen him before, she said to him emotionally, "Go, You go to Fengbo Temple to find Master Cheng Kong, and I will give you money, as much as you want!"
Mrs. Li seemed to be crazy, but she wasn't completely crazy, just not so clear-headed, so Yu Jinnian had to say something to try to calm her down first: "Mrs. Li, calm down first, why don't you tell me first?" What does Master Chengkong look like?"
"He, he..." Mrs. Li thought for a while, then suddenly shook her head again, "I don't know, I don't know... He's wearing a mask, he's bald..." After that, he kept saying that he was "a bald, a bald".
How can a mage not be bald
Yu Jinnian really sympathized with her at first, but he couldn't stand the funny words, and almost broke his face. He hastily coughed twice to stabilize his expression, and said in his heart: The patient is the most serious, the patient is the most important.
Seeing that Zou Heng had already taken his pulse, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "She said it's time, what day is it?"
Zou Heng originally intended to make Yu Jinnian make a fool of himself, but he never thought that Yu Jinnian was serious about diagnosing him. He didn't believe that this young man could see why, so he said nonchalantly: "Yes. The day of the monthly letter."
Yu Jinnian wondered: "How did you say that? She has been yelling until the end of the day, someone wants to come... What do you want to come on the day of Yuexin?"
"It's before the day of the monthly letter." Zou Heng said, "Mrs. Li will have inexplicable abdominal pain a few days before the monthly letter, and the pain is unbearable, like a knife. It’s almost unbearable to see. It’s about seven or eight days before the new month’s day, so Mrs. Li keeps yelling, ‘It’s time’.”
Yu Jinnian thought, there are patients like you who are greedy for money and can't bear to see them
But he only muttered in his heart, but his face was still indifferent, and he asked seriously: "Then why didn't she yell 'I'm going to have a stomachache again', but yelled 'that thing is coming' in such a panic, She would never use such a strange name as 'that thing' to refer to abdominal pain... Doctor Zou, what is that thing?"
Zou Heng said: "Yes—"
Just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that he had started talking to this kid unknowingly, his expression changed immediately, he flicked his sleeve violently, and said angrily: "How do I know what that is? You don't know what it is? Why don't you go see a doctor yourself!"
Yu Jinnian was thrown in the face by his sleeve, and wondered in his heart, obviously you insisted on dragging me here, but I came as you wished, and you slapped me again, how strange!
But he was too lazy to talk to people like Zou Heng, so he leaned forward, took Zou Heng's pulse diagnosis, and said bluntly: "Master Zou, I will borrow your pulse diagnosis!" Then he went forward to check Li's pulse.
Zou Heng: "..."
Yu Jinnian's pulse was stringy and thin, his tongue was thick and greasy, his lips were blue and purple, and his complexion was dull.
But what exactly is the disease, he has never seen Mrs. Li's appearance when she had an attack, so he really can't diagnose it. Based on Zou Heng's few words, even if he was asked to guess, it would only be a needle in a haystack, and it would be fruitless.
Just looking at Mrs. Li's current appearance, she may not be really crazy, or it may be just a manifestation of stressful emotions caused by fear of the huge pain that will come on time every month, but if the source of the pain is not eliminated Well, it's hard to say that Mrs. Li will really go crazy in the future.
After seeing Mrs. Li, Yu Jinnian got up and went to Zou Heng's side, and asked him, "Master Zou, I'm curious to ask again, why is the window paper in this room covered with thick silk cloth? But madam is afraid of light?"
Zou Heng didn't want to talk to him, so he took back his pulse diagnosis, and said with a suffocated breath: "Madam said that once she sees the light, she will feel pain all over her body."
"Then..." Before Yu Jinnian could open his mouth, Zou Heng gave Yu Jinnian a hard look, but he still had the cheek to continue asking, "How long has Madam's illness been going on?"
Zou Heng frowned. He didn't ask about this matter in detail, and he only had a diagnosis and treatment with Mrs. Li within this year. The Yang family refused to disclose how he treated him before, and he didn't know it at all, but he naturally refused to confess himself. "I don't know" about this matter, he waved away Yu Jinnian angrily: "Go, go, ask their servants!"
Yu Jinnian couldn't help but clicked his tongue, glanced at Zou Heng dissatisfied, and really turned his head to ask the little maidservant, who said that Mrs. Li's illness had lasted for several years, and she vaguely remembered it was the fourth master Not two years after I died, I got this disease. Ask about "that thing" again, before the maidservant Xiaojiao could speak, the older maidservant next to her came over first, and drove the maidservant to boil water to wipe Madam Li's face and wash her face.
"This sister-in-law..."
The servant girl hummed, turned her head and left.
Yu Jinnian is really speechless, what is going on with this family, the real wife is sick, the man in charge doesn't care, just hugs Aunt Qiao Niang to have fun, instead of recruiting good doctors, he secretly invites the doctor to see him at night, Not only do you not tell the doctor about your illness quickly, but you have to let the doctor guess by yourself.
It's really embarrassing to be diagnosed with this disease.
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, he went back to Zou Heng and discussed with him cheekily: "According to Dr. Zou, what's wrong with Mrs. Li?"
Yu Jinnian smiled and said that he was a genius doctor, but it was inconvenient for Zou Heng to tear up his face. As the saying goes, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face. What's more, after he claimed to be a Jinshi, he had a scholarly family, so he had to pay attention to his image. So I held back and said, "I always think that this is not a disease."
"It's not a disease, what is it?" Yu Jinnian wondered, could it be that this old quack doctor suddenly became enlightened and had some unique insight
Who would have thought that Zou Heng picked up the medicine box on his back, flicked his cuffs, and the old god said, "This is a ghost possessed by Yin, and the filth gathers in the body. It is no longer effective for medicine and stones..."
Yu Jinnian was taken aback: "... huh?"
Seeing that he couldn't even understand such ordinary medical words, Zou Heng's expression became more contemptuous, and he looked down on this person even more in his heart. After squinting at Yu Jinnian, he explained to him in as simple a way as possible: "It's the Chinese Evil!"
Yu Jinnian: "???"
