Yan Shi and the others took a rest at the inn, and prepared to go to Zheng's Mansion at dawn the next day.
Qu Liushang specially changed his clothes, holding a streamer in his hand and carrying a medicine box, which seemed to be the case.
"Brother, what are we going to dress up as?" Hua Ling looked very curious, and couldn't hide the look of eagerness on his face.
Qu Liushang laughed and said, "Princess, why not pretend to be a drug boy, change into a bunt, and then tie her hair into two small knots."
Of course Hua Ling wasn't happy, "I'm pretending to be a drug boy, so what is my brother pretending to be? And Zhao Chunhai and Cao Dejin, what about them?"
Yan Shi said, "This time we are going to Zheng's mansion, Mr. Qu and the three of us will go, and Zhao Chunhai and Cao Dejin will stay at the inn." Most of the doctors who practice medicine like this are alone, and at most they can bring a little medicine boy with them. There are too many people, it is inevitable to make people suspicious.
Qu Liushang said again, "My lord and I pretended to be brothers, so we can only wrong the concubine to pretend to be a medicine boy."
Hua Ling felt aggrieved, "Then why can't I pretend to be senior fellow apprentices with you guys, the three senior fellow apprentices are so nice."
"Both the prince and concubine don't understand medical skills. I can say that I take the prince to teach my younger brother to practice medicine while traveling. But if I bring another person who doesn't know any medical skills, it will be very suspicious. It's like a charlatan." Qu Liu Shang spoke very seriously.
Hua Ling curled her lips, "But being a medicine boy also requires some medical skills. You should know some medicinal materials."
Qu Liushang blinked, "To be a drug boy, you only need to serve your master well."
Hua Ling made the last struggle, "Can I still sleep with my brother that night?"
Qu Liushang said, "Of course it is possible, the master also needs the service of the medicine boy at night."
Hua Ling couldn't say no to him, looked at Yan Shi with tears in his eyes, and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother." His voice was soft and aggrieved.
It has to be said that Qu Liushang's method is the most feasible, but the little princess is unwilling. Seeing this aggrieved look, Yan Shi's heart softens, and he tentatively asks, "Stay in the inn if you don't know Mingting?"
Hua Ling's head shook like a rattle, "Brother, don't take me, I want to go with you. Just let me follow, let me dress up as anything."
Zhao Chunhai went to the street and bought a coarse cloth bunt for Hua Ling. Although Hua Ling was not favored in the Duke's mansion before, she also wore silk and satin. How could she wear clothes of this material.
Hua Ling didn't think anything of it, but Yan Shi was a little worried that the little princess would not be used to it.
After Hua Ling changed her clothes, she shyly went to see Yan Shi, "Brother, do you look good?"
I have to say that good-looking people look good in anything. A bunt suit perfectly outlines Hua Ling's figure, with a chic air.
"It's pretty." Yan Shi praised sincerely, "Then I'll comb your hair?"
Hua Ling nodded shyly, Yan Shi let down his bristling hair, divided it into two strands, and combed each side of his head into two small pullets.
Hua Ling was originally small, and her behavior was a bit childish. Dressing up like this made her look a few years younger, which didn't seem out of harmony at all.
After getting dressed, Hua Ling was very shy, reluctant to look up, Yan Shi smiled lightly and kissed him on the top of his head. Hua Ling felt the warmth, and immediately felt that her body was full of happiness bubbles, and happily swept away the shyness—this was the first time Yan Shi kissed him! How could it not make him happy
Qu Liushang sat outside and waited for them, drinking tea leisurely. When Hua Ling appeared, the tea in his mouth almost spewed out. Seeing Hua Ling's murderous eyes, he desperately wanted to survive. Wanting him to swallow the tea in his mouth.
"It's not bad." Qu Liushang pretended to be calm, "I just want to wrong the lord to be my junior." The excuse that this junior is not very good at medicine has already been found, and he said that Yan Shi had just been accepted by their master not long ago. The master died before he had time to teach him anything, so he had to be taught by his elder brother.
Yan Yi nodded.
Qu Liushang looked at Hua Ling again and said, "Princess, this name will have to be changed at that time, you can't call me brother anymore."
Hua Ling said reluctantly that she understood.
Qu Liushang stuffed the medicine box on the side into Hua Ling's arms, "The medicine box must be carried by the medicine boy."
The medicine box was huge, and it seemed to weigh a lot. Yan Shi was reluctant to carry it on the back of the little princess, and Hua Ling said, "Brother, don't worry, it's nothing more than a medicine box. I'm a man, so I won't be able to handle even this little thing." moveable."
Yan Shi didn't say anything, but told him to tell him if he was tired.
The inn is not very far from the Zheng residence, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, we finally arrived. Qu Liushang and Yan Shi glanced at each other, Yan Shi nodded at him, and then he walked to the gate of Zheng's Mansion with a banner in his hand to explain to the porter his intention. The concierge glanced at them, said to wait, and then went into the mansion to report.
After another one, a young girl walked out from the gate of the mansion. This girl was very beautiful, graceful, and her walking posture was also very pleasing to the eye.
The concierge said, "This is Miss Cousin."
Yan Shi frowned slightly. According to what he knew, Zheng Lin had a wife and children, so how could it be a cousin who came out to greet the guests
The girl's eyes swept back and forth on the faces of several people, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but her face did not change. "Little girl has seen several young masters, dare to ask which one is the doctor?"
Qu Liushang said, "My junior brother and I are disciples of the Immortal Medicine Valley. Doctors came here from all over the world. I heard that there are expensive patients who have been ill for a long time, so I came here to see it. If there is any disturbance, don't forget to take it for granted. "
The news of Zheng Lin's illness was not a secret, and he was a Jieyuan, so he naturally received more attention than others, and the common people would inevitably talk about it for entertainment after dinner, so Qu Liushang's words did not arouse the girl's suspicion. Since she heard that they came from Immortal Medicine Valley, she couldn't hide her joy on her face. In fact, she had never heard of the Immortal Medicine Valley before, but just hearing the name and style, she felt that this Qu Liushang was really capable. And the name Immortal Medicine Valley was made up by Qu Liushang.
The girl immediately said happily, "Young masters, please come into the house quickly."
Qu Liushang said, "Miss Lao is here."
The girl smiled sweetly, "My name is Xu Yuanjiao, and the young masters can call me Yuanjiao."
Zheng's Mansion is not as grand as Gao's Mansion, but overall it's not bad. The pavilions, pavilions, and gardens are arranged with care.
Xu Yuanjiao talked about Zheng Lin's illness while walking. Zheng Lin was in good health before his prime and rarely fell ill. However, since he suddenly became ill more than three months ago and fell into a coma, he could only be fed a little rice soup every day. live. The doctor saw a lot, but none of them could tell about Zheng Lin's condition.
When he arrived in the room, Qu Liuzhang saw the pale man lying on the bed at a glance. He had to say that Zheng Lin looked pretty good, even with this appearance, his handsome face could not be concealed.
Qu Liushang took the pulse for a while, then opened his eyelids to check, looked at Hua Ling and said, "Ming Ting, bring me the silver needle."
Hua Ling reluctantly opened the medicine box and found the silver needle inside, Yan Shi hurriedly took it from his hand and opened the roll of silver needle. Qu Liushang took a silver needle and pricked Zheng Lin's body a few times, and Zheng Lin woke up after a while.
His eyes were cloudy, and he looked around as if he had lost his memory.
Seeing him awake, Xu Yuanjiao's face was full of joy, "Uncle, Uncle, are you awake?"
Zheng Lin reluctantly nodded, but couldn't speak, Xu Yuanjiao hurriedly ordered his servants to pour a cup of tea and feed him personally. After Zheng Lin drank his tea, he fell back into a deep sleep not long after.
"What, what's going on here?" Xu Yuanjiao asked with a face full of surprise.
"Miss Xu, don't be in a hurry." Qu Liushang said, "Master Zheng's illness is really serious, I only made him recover for a while, and he still needs to take medicine."
Xu Yuanjiao said anxiously, "Young Master Naqu, hurry up and prescribe the medicine."
At this time, Xu Yuanjiao had completely trusted Qu Liushang, and the doctors he had invited in the past had never allowed Zheng Lin to wake up for a moment.
Qu Liushang was about to come and wrote the prescription on the table with a pen and paper, while writing, he said, "Follow this prescription to get the medicine, take it every day, and then add silver needles, Mr. Zheng will get better soon."
Xu Yuanjiao took the prescription again and again
Thank you, and ordered the servants to grab the medicine.
Yan Shi suddenly said, "Dare to ask Miss Xu, where is Mrs. Zheng?"
Xu Yuanjiao replied, "My aunt is chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall all day long, she doesn't come out, and even eats in the Buddhist hall."
Yan Shi waited for something to ask again, only to hear an old woman hurried in from the outside, "Miss Cousin, go and see the young master, he is crying so much, he is looking for you."
Xu Yuanjiao apologized and said sorry, and hurried away with the old mother.
Apart from Zheng Lin who was in a coma, only Yan Shi and the others were left in the room. Hua Ling sat on the chair, pulling out the medicine box over and over again, as if a little unhappy, Yan Shi smiled and rubbed his head to show comfort.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Qu Liushang whispered to Yan Shi, "Zheng Lin has been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Yan Shi repeated, "Is it serious?"
Qu Liuzhang shook his head and said, "This poison is a chronic poison. It is like Zheng Lin's when it occurs. It will not kill people easily, but if it continues for a long time, it will be dragged to death slowly. If it is treated properly, it will soon be dead. It will recover, but this poison is relatively rare, which is why doctors can't diagnose and treat the disease."
As soon as Hua Ling became interested in hearing this, she was no longer as unhappy as before. "If someone poisoned him, why didn't he just poison him? But this kind of poison will consume him."
Qu Liushang said, "This is also a puzzling part. I was just afraid of scaring the snake, so I didn't mention his poisoning."
Yan Shi nodded in agreement, and his eyes fell on Zheng Lin who was on the bed again, "You say, why is Mrs. Zheng still praying to Buddha after such a big incident happened to Zheng Lin? Where is their son?"
If it is to pray for blessings, outsiders should also come out to see her when they come to the mansion. After all, she is the highest existence in this mansion besides Zheng Lin. Even if he can't come out, he should send his eldest son out to have a look. Why only let a cousin come out to entertain guests
