I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

There are four generations in the Zhou family living together, and the old lady has passed the age of knowing her destiny. What worries her the most is her only great-grandson.

His mother died in childbirth when Zhou Xiaolangjun was born. He probably held it in her belly for a long time, and some strange symptoms gradually appeared, such as the right hand being slow and unable to hold objects, and the right lower limb dragging when walking, causing an unsteady gait.

At the age of speaking, although she opened her mouth as expected, she could only blurt out some two-character polyphonic sounds such as "Empress" and "Sister".

These matters were kept secret from top to bottom in the mansion, and outsiders only thought he was weak and sickly, so he was always raised in his own courtyard and would not be allowed to appear in public.

It took a lot of effort to raise the child to over five years old. Not long ago, the wind blew and the window was opened, causing the child to catch a cold. He hurriedly asked a doctor to see a doctor and prescribe a prescription, but there was no improvement. After dragging on for more than a week, I finally had a high fever and couldn't get rid of it, and I couldn't wake up.

Mrs. Zhou had blisters on her mouth. She sat in front of the bed and put a cloth soaked in water on her great-grandson's forehead. She asked urgently: "The uncle said that he would go to Taichang to ask for Dr. Liu, why haven't you done it yet?" Come back? Go and ask where you are!"

The uncle she was talking about was the eldest master of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Lian, who was the minister of facial features at the time, and was also the grandfather of Zhou Xiaolangjun.

The grandma who had been waiting for her for many years quickly sent the maid out to inquire. After a while, she replied: "We have arrived at the main entrance! Madam personally led someone to greet her outside, and she will be here soon!"

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Before, I always felt regretful because of my lack of longevity, but now looking at him like this, I feel that everything else is vain, as long as the person is healthy. "

"Old lady, please relax." The grandma had been with her for many years and she didn't know what she was thinking: "I have received the favor of Shangguan, so I just asked Dr. Liu to come into the house to diagnose the young man."

Dr. Liu Shi is said to have extraordinary medical skills, and he is very respectable even among the nobles in the palace. He is much better than the evil-minded Gao Liang before. He will definitely be able to cure the disease, maybe even the previous chronic diseases. ! "

Ever since Gao Liang was convicted of perjury in court, Huichun Hall expelled him, and he instantly became infamous in Changling City.

People who had invited him to see doctors all year round, such as the Zhou family, also remembered that they had been treating according to his prescriptions in the past few years, and expensive medicinal materials had been spent like water, but instead of improving, Xiao Lang's health was getting weaker and weaker. Gradually, I came back to my senses and felt dissatisfied with Gao Liang.

"How dare I expect so much." When Mrs. Zhou heard Gao Liang's name, her face immediately darkened. She didn't want to mention him: "As long as I can save my eternal life, I will give up my life." It’s all right!”

"Old lady, don't dare to talk nonsense!" The grandma's face changed: "You and Xiaolangjun are both blessed people. This is just a small disaster. After it is over, the good fortune will be great in the future. !”

While talking, the maid outside had already lifted the heavy curtain, and several people entered the room.

"Doctor Liu, please come here. The child Changsheng is inside, so I need to trouble you to put more thought into it," Zhou Lian said.

"Let me see the child first," said Doctor Liu.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Mrs. Zhou stood up with the help of her grandma and saluted tremblingly: "I only have one great-grandson, so I entrust it to Doctor Liu."

Doctor Liu was only about forty years old, so how could he dare to accept such a courtesy from Mrs. Zhou? He quickly reached out to help her: "Since I'm here, I will do my best."

He was actually a little irritated and didn't want to spend more time on these red tapes. I heard that the patient has had a high fever for several days and has been unable to get rid of it, so he must be in serious danger. If Zhou Lian had not repeatedly begged for this matter and obtained the permission of Taichang Temple Minister, he would not have accepted such a hot task.

Of course, the people on the right and left have already arrived, and he sincerely wants to save people.

Dr. Liu ignored the Zhou family and went to the bedside for consultation.

Under the expectant gazes of the Zhou family, he checked his pulse and thought for a long time before sighing and standing up.

"The disease has entered the heart, and it is difficult to cure it with medicine and stone." He lifted the medicine box aside and said in a heavy voice: "Let's prepare for the funeral. It should be tonight."

Mrs. Zhou trembled her lips and her fingers trembled uncontrollably: "Doctor Liu, please show mercy and help Changsheng take a look. He is still so young and should not leave so early!"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were also red: "Doctor Liu. No matter how hard you treat it, even if it ends up being... we will never blame you."

Shiyi Liu had a dull face and did not stop: "It's not that I don't want to try my best, but everyone has their own destiny. If your government had invited me here a few days earlier, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but now... "

He strode out of the house. The cry sounded after him, and he shook his head sadly, no longer looking back.

God wants to take people away, who can save them? This is the child's life.

On a very cold day, there were many people guarding the courtyard gate, including the second manager Zhou Tong and Fang Yingniang.

Hearing Mrs. Zhou and his wife weeping like this, everyone outside felt uncomfortable, and many people secretly wiped away tears.

After all, Zhou Lian is the head of the family. Although he is grieving deeply, he can still maintain some sense. He walked out and ordered his servants to start arranging the funeral arrangements.

The young man was only five years old, so he died young and could not enter his ancestor's grave. He had to find an urn and a coffin to bury under the house to express his condolences.

Zhou Tong was the second manager, so he immediately took orders and prepared to go out to purchase related utensils. Madam Fang was leading the affairs of the inner house, and it was logical that she should go down and arrange them, but she hesitated for a while but did not move.

When Zhou Tong passed by her, he looked at her in surprise, his eyes full of doubts.

Madam Fang seemed to have made up her mind. She just nodded to him and walked out:

"Master." She saluted and said, "My servant would like to recommend a doctor to diagnose my illness."

"Do you know what you are talking about? It's a disease that even Doctor Liu can't treat. What's the use of other doctors coming here? Get out of here quickly." Zhou Lian said, suppressing the anger in his chest.

Madam Fang has served in the Zhou Mansion for many years, and she has a certain understanding of the master's temper. She knows that he is similar to his wife, and he is quite kind to his servants and does not get angry at will, so she insisted:

"This is already the case, why not try Luo Langzhong recommended by the maid. The last time the maidservant had an asthma attack, other doctors also said that they would die, but they were all saved by her. Maybe on top of this disease, Luo Langzhong Does the doctor also have a unique method?"

Before Zhou Lian could say anything, Mrs. Zhou had already walked out with the support of Mrs. Zhou and Grandma Zhou. The tears on her face were not dry, but she said: "Where is Mr. Luo you mentioned? Go and invite him right now!"
