I was Idle and Cool
Chapter 8: after name
"What's up?"
After the talent shouted halfway, there was no sound. Lu Jinxi couldn't help but glance at her and asked.
Egret then reacted, and hurriedly collected his mind, bowed and bowed: "Madam, Doctor Zhang has already invited over, so I have to show my brother. Are you?"
As he said that, he looked at the two maids behind Lu Jinxi and the things they were holding in their hands.
"I will go to the British government to see the situation of the second son of Luo."
Lu Jinxi answered casually, and at the same time glanced at the old man standing on the other side of the aisle.
This is an old man over sixty years old, wearing a simple gray cloth robe, which has been washed white.
His face was shriveled, but his eyes were very sharp, his whole body was clean, and even the gray beard on his chin was neatly groomed.
The old medical box was slung over his shoulders with one hand, and he held it tightly, as if it had grown together with him.
This one is the famous "Ghost Hand Zhang" in the capital.
His original surname is Zhang, and his name is Yuanzhi. He came from a family of Xinglin. He is now in his 60s or 70s and has been practicing medicine for nearly 40 years. Whether it is knowledge or medical theory, he is very broad and exquisite, and he can do it at his fingertips.
His medical skills were superb, and he was called "Dare to pull people in front of the Lord of Hell", so he was called "Ghost Hand Zhang".
In the eighth year of Qing'an, the De'an House plagued, and it was this old man who dragged a crippled body and risked getting sick to enter the city. It took two full months to develop a prescription for the disease.
The people of De'an are thus free from the plague.
For a time up and down the south of the Yangtze River, all of them were regarded as "the savior of the world".
After the imperial court learned of this, it sent people to pass an edict to summon him to the palace and make him the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.
This is something that many people can't wait for in their entire lives!
Unexpectedly, after the ghost hand Zhang received the decree, he only threw the imperial decree into the hands of the **** who passed the decree, saying "I'm too old, too lazy to go", then rejected the imperial court's reward and retracted his small medical hall.
After so many years, many dignitaries have promised him a lot of money and asked him to help with diagnosis and treatment, but they have all returned without success.
Unless you're a life-saving illness, he won't even bother to move.
On the contrary, among the common people, if anyone has a headache, go to his hospital, and they will be treated in three or two times. Encountered hard-pressed, really poor, will not take a penny.
Not to mention half of the people in the capital who went to Huishengtang to prescribe the prescription and get the medicine, at least 30%.
A while ago, Lu Jinxi's illness seemed to be dying out, and finally he went to Huishengtang.
Therefore, Guishou Zhang made an exception and came to the mansion for a diagnosis, and poured several bowls of soup and medicine down, only to make people return to the soul. After that, he gave a recipe for conditioning, and handed it over to the people in the house to serve them according to the recipe.
Within half a month, Lu Jinxi's illness got better.
It was at that time that she completely remembered "Huishengtang Guishouzhang".
Today, the two little ancestors of the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are in trouble, and Luo Er Gongzi's arm is bleeding. Whether it is the fault of the General's Mansion or not, the attitude must be put first.
Therefore, she asked Pan Quan'er to borrow someone after asking the general's mansion to ask for a doctor first, and forcefully "invite" Guishou Zhang to go there, so that he could live in the manor's house.
only…
At this moment, this stubborn and respectable old man was standing on the sidewalk, staring at her with a blowing beard, his eyebrows were raised in anger, and the bottom of his eyes was even more angry and full of anger.
Lu Jinxi remembered the pile of questions and complaints she heard earlier, and now she can roughly guess why the other party was angry.
She sighed in her heart, only gave way to the road, then waved her hand to let the two maids also let the way, and said to the old woman standing in front of Guishou Zhang: "Don't be stunned, the old doctor Zhang is already here, hurry up. Please go in and take a look for your brother, don't delay the old gentleman's time."
"...Yes, the old slave will go here."
The old woman was taken aback, she didn't understand how Lu Jinxi gave way to a doctor, she was the first lady!
But Lu Jinxi had an order, and she didn't dare to be suspicious, she just stretched out her hand to quote: "Doctor Zhang, please come here."
Guishou Zhang frowned suddenly, followed the old woman up, just passed in front of Lu Jinxi, the anger in his eyes still didn't go away.
However, Lu Jinxi just stood by the roadside very humbly and bowed slightly: "Thank you."
"Humph."
The old man snorted impolitely, gave Lu Jinxi a sideways glance, threw his sleeves angrily, and scolded "the world is getting worse" through gritted teeth, and then entered the courtyard quickly.
"Ma'am, this..." The egret looked at him from behind, and the whole person was a little stupid. "Isn't this too rude? Will he hold a grudge against our house?"
"What do you hate?"
Lu Jinxi took a step forward, laughed, and there was a glint of wisdom in his eyes. He only took the egret to go to the British government with him.
"Think about who this person is. If he is not willing to come, how can we invite him?"
When the egret heard this, his mind turned around.
The ghost hand Zhang Tian is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, and even dares to throw the imperial decree. Pan Quan'er brought people to force "invitation", can they really invite people?
She frowned, puzzled: "But if that's the case, why did he come?"
"It's time to ask him."
Lu Jinxi said so, but smiled clearly, but did not delve into this topic, and ordered: "When you come back later, remember to discuss with Qingque and ask outsiders to buy some common medicinal materials commonly used in pharmacies. I will send it back to Huishengtang as a gift."
Commonly used herbs?
Why not send real money?
Egret subconsciously wants to ask again, but when he thinks that he has already asked a lot, doesn't it seem stupid to ask again? So I was entangled in my heart, but I swallowed the words that came to my mouth.
The snow has begun to melt for a while, and the weather is getting colder.
Along the garden, white snow covered the early greenery, which complemented the greenness of the treetops and branches, as beautiful as emeralds.
Lu Jinxi glanced in the direction of the government next door and asked, "You just stopped people. Have you inquired about the situation at the British government?"
"I have inquired."
Egret nodded, but gave a wry smile, and said, "I have already let the British public know about this matter, so I came back from the top. I have asked an imperial doctor, but seeing that we have invited Dr. Zhang, I didn't mention it again."
"What is the attitude of Mrs. Shizi, I don't know yet."
"I only know that Dr. Zhang treated the second son of Luo, in addition to the wound on his arm, he also saw a cold problem, and scolded the person who served the son in the government's palace, saying that he would not take care of him. A prescription was given."
Hearing this, Lu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, and then relieved.
She smiled slightly: "Isn't this Guishou Zhang's style? It's natural to see that people are sick, don't care who you see a doctor, even if all you need to see is diarrhea, he can force you to cure your cough."
The egret covered his mouth and smiled: "Exactly."
When Lu Jinxi was treating the disease, that was actually the case.
I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion would never have imagined that he would be scolded by an old doctor who was famous all over the capital, but he found out that the second son had other diseases, right?
British Gongluofu is a hereditary marquis, which has been passed down for four generations.
The current British prince is Luo Zhengmao. The first emperor was already a lord when he was there. In recent years, seeing that he is getting older, his wife has gradually become powerless when it comes to handling the affairs of the mansion. When the husband and wife are together, they will be their eldest son Luo. Apparently please seal the prince.
The feed in the family was also handed over to the wife of the prince, Mrs. Ye.
When Lu Jinxi came to visit, Mrs. Ye sat in the room, frowned twice, and looked at the second son who was sitting in front of him and didn't even dare to lift his head.
Luo Dingfang was seven years old this year, two years older than the next-door Daobawang.
Due to the complex population in the mansion, he saw a lot of things since he was a child, and he has Luo Xian and Ye Shi's teaching points from time to time, and he knows a lot. It's just that the more this is the case, the more reluctant the child is to talk.
Before I went to Time School, I gradually became more cheerful and lively.
So when I heard that Luo Dingfang and Xue Chi were playing together, Mr. Ye thought about it, but he closed his eyes and let him go.
After all, the second son does not have a heavy burden on inheriting the family business.
Ye Shi hopes that the second son will be happier and happier, and stop raising a sullen gourd like the eldest son.
But where did she think that this happened in the middle of the road.
The General's Mansion couldn't find out the reason why the two children were fighting from Xue Chi's mouth, but when it came to Ye's place, it was the same.
Luo Dingfang has not said a word since he was brought back.
At first, Mrs. Ye was still very angry, and felt that the general's mansion was too bullying, and the children who came out were too uneducated, and they even hurt people.
But soon, she overturned this idea.
The son I raised, I know it myself.
Although Luo Dingfang doesn't like to talk, he is most filial on weekdays. When my parents asked me anything, they answered honestly and respectfully. It was rare to say a word like this.
What matters is that she can see that little bit of guilt in her son's eyes.
It is hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter.
However, Mr. Ye actually had a vague premonition in his heart, so he never went to the General's Mansion.
Because she didn't know whether she should make amends or be held accountable.
"I never cared about what happened in your school. But now it's so big, your grandfather knows it, and you have to ask when you look back. If there's something wrong, just admit it to me quickly, and don't let anyone come to the door at that time. , I can't hold you back..."
Ye Shi thought about it, then stared at Luo Dingfang, and opened his mouth bluntly, word by word.
Luo Dingfang was wearing a new brocade robe, looking a little thin and weak, which was also inherited from his father and mother.
Hearing Ye Shi's question, he trembled and bit his lip.
After a long while, he finally mustered up his courage and raised his head.
But it was at this time that the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
A maid came to the door and said, "Mrs. Qibin, the second grandma of the general's house next door is here, saying that she brought some medicinal materials to visit the second son, and is already outside the hospital."
"what?"
She is coming?
When Mr. Ye heard the sound, he was in a state of surprise for a moment. He got up from his seat and didn't care to question Luo Dingfang any more, so he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and come in."
"Yes."
The maid immediately retreated and went to meet Lu Jinxi at the gate of the courtyard.
In the room, Mrs. Ye stood still, remembering all kinds of things about Mrs. Lu, the wife of the general's mansion.
When she was still a girl in her boudoir, how could she envy the scenery of these three beauties in Beijing?
Lu Jinxi, in particular, has an average temperament and is not very outgoing, but she is very lucky. After marrying Xue Kuang, she became the first-rank official of the imperial court in a short time.
For a time, countless people in the capital couldn't be jealous.
In the seventh year of Qing'an, Yumen was recovered.
Xue Kuang led the army to return to the court, and when the soldiers crossed Chang'an Avenue, she and Luo Xian watched from the crowd.
That general, wearing a heavy armor of bright light, rode on the dark clouds and snow of the gods, although the wind and dust were stained, he was full of iron horse Jin Ge and Ling Xiao Qi, but he was not damaged.
He came from the city gate at the end of the long street, and behind him were the battle-hardened warriors.
Everyone's face is full of fatigue from a long battle, and many people are even injured. But when he saw the people who were welcoming people across the road, he couldn't help laughing, cheerful and high-spirited.
Even Xue Kuang, the eyebrows carved by the wind and frost in the north of Saibei, have eliminated the ice and snow, and slowly dyed it soft.
Ye Shi still remembers that on that day, the people brought the aged wine that was treasured in their homes and dedicated them to this group of heroes who brought them peace.
Xue Kuang didn't touch a drop.
He just sat alone on the horse and watched with everyone, watching these countless soldiers who had washed away and returned to ordinary.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Chang'an Street that day was lively for a long time, and many people cried.
Even if the army that was still in the court had left, the twilight was all around, covering the imperial city, and the crowd did not disperse for a long time...
That scene is still in Ye's memory, vividly in his mind.
She sighed and knew that Lu Jinxi was coming, she just turned around, looked at Luo Dingfang with awe, and said, "Second grandma Lu next door is coming. You are right, I will not pursue it. But if you are wrong, take advantage of this If you have the opportunity, please apologize to me face to face..."
After all, she was the only one left.
Xue Kuang fought for the country and the world in the past years. She was Xue Kuang's widow's wife. Who would have the heart to embarrass her and bully her?
