The happy life of a prodigal

"My lord, my master is still resting. You can rest here for a while. When my master wakes up, the servant will tell him..."

The little servant girl led Fang Xiu to the main hall, served melon and fruit pastries, and after watching the tea, she spoke uprightly.

After all, it was the residence of the former chief minister of the cabinet. Whether it was the doorman, the servants and the little maids, they were all polite and well-mannered.

"Understood, you go down."

Fang Xiu waved his hand, sent the little maid away, and sat on the teacher's chair, sipping tea and snacks in a leisurely manner.

Bai Xiaochun stood behind him, looking around vigilantly, preventing any possible danger.

A room not far from the main hall.

Elder Zhou Ge, who is 'in poor health', is sitting in a chair, copying a pair of running script.

Next to it, a 50-year-old woman is grinding.

While grinding, he said: "Master, Fan Ru has been imprisoned in the dungeon for two days, and I heard that that reckless man Li Jing personally sent someone to guard him, if he continues to be imprisoned like this, he still does not know how much he will suffer... .”

The gray-haired Mr. Zhou Ge frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't stop the pen in his hand, and said in a vicissitudes of life: "If he didn't do those things himself, how could he cause these troubles. "

After the 50-year-old woman heard this, she whispered: "I know that all of this is his own fault, but...

Master, even if you don't think that Zhou Zheng has been filial to you for so many years, you still have to think about Zhi'er...

She is still pregnant with a child, which is also your great-grandson, if something happens to Zhou Zheng..."

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, I have asked the third child to look for Li Jing, and the result will be at noon at most..."

Mr. Zhou Ge put down his pen, glanced out of the window, he didn't know what he thought of, sighed, and said: "Back then... hey..."

Having said that, he stopped again, and finally sighed again.

5 Chapter Fifty

dong dong dong-

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter......"

Zhou Gelao put down his pen and said lightly.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a little maid came in, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, there is a guest who wants to see you..."

guest?

Elder Zhou Ge was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the woman behind him.

The woman shook her head and said nothing.

Elder Zhou Ge turned his head to look at the little maid, and asked, "Can the guest leave his or her name?"

The little maid thought for a while and said, "The guest seems to say that his name is... Fang Xiu."

Fang Xiu...

When Mr. Zhou Ge heard this name, he felt that it was very strange. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out when there was another person named Fang Xiu in Linze Mansion.

The woman next to her was stunned, and said, "Master, Fang Xiu is the name of the new Inspector-General."

Elder Zhou Ge just remembered something, frowned, and said: "Didn't I tell you that I won't see you today?

What nonsense, go...

Tell Mr. Fang that the old man is in poor health today, and it is inconvenient to see guests. "

When the little servant girl heard this, she showed a look of hesitation, and stood there without moving.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhou Ge looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little maid raised her eyes, looked at her master, gritted her teeth, and said truthfully: "Master, that guest said that today, no matter what, he will see you, Master...

Even if you live in our house, it doesn't matter. "

When Mr. Zhou Ge heard this, he was very angry, and cursed: "What a bastard!"

For so many years, this was the first time that the little servant girl heard her master swearing, and she stood aside, not even daring to speak.

Elder Zhou Ge took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and then said: "Since he wants to wait, let him wait. I want to see how long he can wait!"

After finishing speaking, the little maid still stood where she was.

Seeing this scene, the woman gave the little maid a wink and led her out.

After closing the door, Fang asked, "What else did Mr. Fang say?"

The little maid glanced at the door, making sure that her master should not be able to hear her, so she replied: "The guest said that if the master is sick, he brought a needle and thread himself, so he can treat the master..."

Needlework, diagnosis and treatment...

The middle-aged woman was also a little angry when she heard this sentence.

What is this called, could it be that the master is treated as a doll, and the disease can be cured by sewing and mending?

However, she knew that Mr. Chashi should have come because of her unworthy son-in-law, so she didn't get angry because of it, she just waved her hand and said, "Understood, you go down."

"Yes, ma'am..."

The middle-aged woman sent the little maid away, and stood at the door by herself. After thinking for a while, she decided to meet Mr. Fang in person.

Otherwise, it's not a problem to be in such a stalemate all the time.

So, he walked to the main hall.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw a young son-in-law eating pastries on the grand master's chair.

She was slightly taken aback, apparently she did not expect that this high-ranking Inspector-General was so young.

Young is a bit too much...

Of course, after all, it is a rich family, a truly famous family, what scene, what event, have you never seen it?

It only took a moment to adjust his mentality, walked up, and said with a smile: "This is Lord Inspector Fang...

Sure enough, he looks dignified and talented..."

Fang Xiu was sitting on a chair, thinking whether to rush into the old man's room, when he heard this voice.

Looking up, I saw a middle-aged woman, combined with her words, I guessed it instantly.

This should be the young lady of Zhou Mansion...

Recalling what Li Jing said earlier, the prefect of Linze Mansion should be her son-in-law?

"you are?"

Fang Xiu looked at the middle-aged woman walking towards him, pretended not to recognize her, and asked.

The middle-aged woman froze slightly, and said with a smile: "The concubine's husband is Zhou..."

Whether it was in the capital, or following the master back to Linze Mansion, it was the first time for her to introduce herself, and she always felt a little awkward.

Fang Xiu looked indifferent, and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhou is sick?"

Before the middle-aged woman could speak, Fang Xiu asked her own question first.

The middle-aged woman's expression froze again, so she could only follow his words, and replied: "The master has been too much troubled and overworked because of the affairs of the government office, the doctor said that he needs to rest for a few days... "

Fang Xiu interrupted him before he finished speaking: "Old Zhou has retired, he is no longer a member of the imperial court, he has no rank or rank, why does Mr. Zhou bother about government affairs?"

"..."

When the middle-aged woman heard this sentence, her expression froze completely. What she wanted to say was also blocked, and she didn't know how to speak.

Fang Xiu looked at her, but stood up, and said: "Leaving aside these things for the time being, when I was in the capital, I happened to learn acupuncture and moxibustion for a few days from Imperial Physician Yan of the Imperial Medical Office.

There are many benefits of this method of acupuncture and moxibustion. The most important thing is that it can regulate the body. This point has been personally confirmed by Yan Yuyi and Liu Yuyi.

It’s better to come early than to come by coincidence. Today, Mr. Zhou met me. What’s the matter, I also want to give Mr. Zhou a diagnosis and treatment, so as to save Mr. Zhou from suffering from this illness..."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the middle-aged woman at all, looked back at Bai Xiaochun, and said, "I asked you to prepare the needle and thread, are you ready?"

Bai Xiaochun clasped his hands and said, "Report to your lord, it's ready!"

"Okay, when you're ready, follow me to perform acupuncture for Mr. Zhou..."

The two sang together, and those who didn't know really thought that the two of them were some quacks.

Seeing this scene, especially seeing the silver needle thicker than chopsticks in Bai Xiaochun's hand, the middle-aged woman was even more frightened and didn't know what to do.

Fang Xiu didn't care about her at all, Quan pretended that she didn't exist, and just asked: "I don't know where Mr. Zhou is resting, please ask Madam to lead the way."

"This this......"

The middle-aged woman dared to lead them the way when she saw the silver needle.

My master is already 80 or [-] years old this year, and it is extremely rare to have such a strong body. Don't lose to time in the end, but fall into the hands of these two people, then she is really a sinner through the ages!

"Fang, Mr. Fang, in fact, the master's illness is not serious. The doctor has already said that he only needs to rest for two or three days. There is no need for this, let alone acupuncture..."

The middle-aged woman said tremblingly.

Fang Xiu just pretended not to hear, waved his hands, and said: "Where is this, a sickness is a sickness, and where it is resting, it will be cured.

Madam, don't shy away from medical treatment!

Forget it... Since Madam doesn't believe in my method of acupuncture and moxibustion, let it go. "

The middle-aged woman finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she heard Fang Xiu say again: "In addition to the acupuncture method, I also learned the method of poisonous Gu from Imperial Physician Yan, but I haven't used it yet. You can fight poison with poison!"

Chapter 551 Accidentally broke into the room

"What, what?"

The middle-aged woman was taken aback when she heard the words 'Poison Gu' and 'Fighting poison with poison', and her expression became a little frightened.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and said: "Ma'am, don't worry, although I haven't used this poisonous Gu technique before, it has a theoretical basis after all. As long as Mr. Zhou cooperates obediently, this Minor ailments will never be a problem!"

After all, he ignored her, but looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and ordered: "Go and find three centipedes, three toads, three poisonous snakes, three spiders, and three scorpions. sick!"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaochun suppressed his laughter, pretended to be calm, and replied solemnly: "Yes, my lord, I'll look for it here!"

Centipedes, toads, snakes, spiders, scorpions...

Isn't this the five poisons! ?

The middle-aged woman almost fainted when she heard this.

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, squeezed out a smile, and said, "My master's illness is really just a minor illness, nothing more...

Don't bother Mr. Fang so much. "

Fang Xiu shook his head, and said: "Elder Zhou is already too sick to see people, is it a minor illness, can he rest in peace?

I still say the same thing, madam, don't shy away from illness.

Mr. Zhou is so old, it is a blessing if his body is still strong, but it is also the way of nature that there are many disasters and illnesses. It is only bad for Mr. Zhou if he blindly hides it like this... ...

That's all, since Madam doesn't want to lead the way, I'll go find Mr. Zhou myself. "

After finishing speaking, before the middle-aged woman could react, she turned around and walked outside the main hall.

The middle-aged woman was left standing alone, and was stunned for a moment.

In most of her life, this was the first time she had seen such a person, and he was also a majestic Inspector-General.

This this......

With an anxious expression on her face, she hurriedly summoned the little maids and servants in the mansion, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and stop that Mr. Fang!"

"what?"

The little maids and servants had never stopped the master's guests before, so they were a little confused.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman became even more anxious. Regardless of etiquette, she shouted loudly: "Go!"

On the other hand, Fang Xiu has already started walking around the mansion.

From the outside, this mansion is indeed not considered luxurious, nor is it considered large in size.

But when you enter this mansion, you will find that whether it is rockery, floor tiles, or even strange stones, they are all very particular. If there is no one worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is estimated that they will not be able to get it down.

And the area is not too small. After wandering around for a minute or two, I didn't see a few houses.
