old grace
Chapter 169 Drowning
Xie Qinghe wanted to go back to the grocery store to change clothes, and returned the hairpin and belt to the clerk in the cabinet.
Elder Tan didn't know what the purpose was, and urged: "This seat will go with you to pick up the person, and then go to the victim whose soul has been separated."
"Then I have to wash my face too."
Xie Qinghe couldn't pick someone up with a face Jiang Youniang didn't recognize.
Xie Qinghe found a nearby inn, asked for a private room, and washed his face with the medicine he brought.
Elder Tan watched curiously as he wiped his face with water, washed off the black powder on his hands, face and neck, and even tore off some strange soft substances from his face.Such a disguise technique made Elder Tan amazed.
When Xie Qinghe wiped his face clean with a towel and revealed his true face, Elder Tan let out a light sigh: "Looking at your face, there must be a death calamity in the near future."
The original Jiang Yingzhou was indeed about to die because he coveted Miss Zhao.
Xie Qinghe didn't intend to explain his background, he put down the towel to wipe his face, and said tactfully: "Today I asked to see the elder, and I found the protection of a noble person. I think the junior's life will be saved?"
The glimmer of life for "Jiang Yingzhou" actually comes from Xie Qinghe.
As long as Xie Qinghe doesn't follow Jiang Yingzhou's example of brain damage, and doesn't provoke and seduce Ms. Zhao, the disaster of killing her and her family will be eliminated immediately.
Elder Tan didn't understand what was going on, he only knew that Jiang Yingzhou's death was imminent, and he could vaguely see that he had a sign of escape.Xie Qinghe complimented him, and he naturally attributed the grace of saving the nobleman to himself.
"Hold your heart upright, and you will be blessed by virtue. It's just a marquis's mansion." Elder Tan sneered, "It's nothing to worry about."
It was Ms. Zhao who Jiang Yingzhou offended. To Jiang Yingzhou, that was an absolute powerful official.Elder Tan speculated simply by looking at his face, and mistakenly thought that he had provoked the Marquis of Qianxi, and that he should be above the powerful.
These are all harmless little misunderstandings, not to mention that Qianxihou's Mansion is really not clean, and Xie Qinghe didn't bother to correct it.
After washing his face and changing his clothes, Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan rushed to Zhao Mansion on foot.Jiang Erniang has been waiting for a long time at the nearby Tangshui shop.
"Where did you go? What time is this?" Jiang Erniang was a little anxious.
Elder Tan is of a high seniority, and he is not too young, but because of his cultivation and his good looks, he looks only in his thirties, which is the time when he is personable and dignified.Jiang Erniang hurriedly reprimanded, only to find that Xie Qinghe was wearing a bun and wearing a yin and yang fish belt around her waist, and she was a little frightened: "Brother, what kind of clothes are you wearing?"
Scholars and Confucian scholars in this day and age like to wear Taoist robes, and it is rare for Xie Qinghe to dress up like a little Taoist priest.
Xie Qinghe booed with his fingers up, and said, "Aren't you going to pick up the third sister? Go quickly. I'll wait here."
The reason why Jiang Erniang was asked to come forward to find someone after Xie Qinghe arrived was because she was afraid that something unreasonable would happen and Jiang Erniang would not be able to handle it.If you really want to ask for a maid from the hands of the official's daughter, naturally you need the female relatives to do it.
Jiang Erniang didn't go alone either.
On the way to the Zhao residence, the carriage turned a corner and went to the He family.The coachman waited at the door for a while, and a gentle-looking woman in her thirties came out. She called herself Sister-in-law Yan, greeted Jiang Erniang, said she was the housekeeper's wife of the He family, and accompanied Jiang Erniang to pick her up.
Jiang Erniang was also a little apprehensive towards the rich and powerful, and she was more confident with Mrs. Yan's company.
Sister-in-law Yan refused to let Jiang Erniang knock on the main door, and led her to the Yimen door on the side, knocked on the door, first gave half a tael of silver to the guard at the door, and said politely: "Ask me about someone."
Seeing that Mrs. Yan was neatly dressed, with gold buttons hidden in her hair, gold earrings on her ears, and a plain skirt with narrow sleeves, she was indescribably gentle and capable, and immediately knew that she was a respectable housekeeper's wife in Beppu, and immediately refused. Dare to be too negligent, accept the money and bow first: "Thank you, Auntie, for the reward."
Sister-in-law Yan didn't tell her where she came from, but she described Jiang Youniang's story to the gatekeeper, and said, "This is Miss Jiang's older sister, here to give her some things. Brother, please help me out. If it's convenient, please ask Miss Jiang." Come and meet at the door."
Each household is only qualified to receive guests at the house if it is a respectable host family. When the family of an ordinary girl and servant comes, the host family will be gracious, that is, say a few words at the door.Xie Qinghe didn't want to startle the snake, and He Jing repeatedly told her to keep a low profile, so Mrs. Yan followed the rules.
The boy had a troubled look on his face.
Sister-in-law Yan took out a one-two-weight silver key and stuffed it into the boy's hand: "Hard work, brother, help me. I also came up from the south of the Yangtze River not far away, and I only saw one side."
The young man intentionally lingered for a while, saying that he couldn't earn a few more taels of silver, and Mrs. Yan's face gradually relaxed.
Jiang Erniang watched his words and expressions, and stepped forward to coax the boy: "Little brother, please do me a favor and let me meet my sister. Be merciful, be merciful."
The gatekeeper was also a little afraid that Mrs. Yan would make a fuss, and he was even more reluctant to get the money. He said, "Then I'll go to the door and ask. At this time, the girls..."
Mrs. Yan said with a straight face: "At this time, the girls are resting and relaxing, and the people below are free."
The young man choked for a moment, and didn't dare to talk about his young lady's daily life, so he had to find someone desperately: "I'll try my best to pass in the words. Whether it comes out or not depends on luck."
Mrs. Yan stuck her foot in the door, leaned against the door panel, and said, "Even if Miss Jiang can't come out, you have to call me the woman who guards the door."
The boy was helpless because of her trouble: "Oh, which aunt is this... Okay, okay, I know."
The gatekeeper went in for a long time, Jiang Erniang was a little upset: "Sister-in-law Yan, did that man take the money and run away?"
Sister-in-law Yan comforted her: "The monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away. He is guarding the door of Zhao's house. Where else can he go? If things don't go well, he has to come and refund the money."
In these years, I have to be honest in collecting money, because I am afraid that people will make a fuss and hit the master's hands, and the money will cause a whole lot of trouble if I don't earn it.If Jiang Erniang came alone, the boy might dare to bully him a little bit, but with a housekeeper and daughter-in-law like Mrs. Yan who seemed to know her way around, the doorman would not dare to mess around.
Jiang Erniang barely suppressed her anxiety, sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to the third sister."
Mrs. Yan didn't dare to comfort her carelessly.
The daughters of wealthy families have different personalities, and they are all knowledgeable, polite, gentle and generous when they speak out. Not to mention that outsiders can't understand their true character, many husbands don't know (nor care) what is behind their wives. .It is very common for a girl with a good temper to treat her as a daughter, and to meet a young lady with a bad temper, who is covered in bruises every day.
After waiting for another half an hour, the small door on the side of the Zhao residence creaked open, and several people came out of the door.
Jiang Erniang glanced at Jiang Youniang, whose head was wrapped in bandages in the crowd, and was pulled by a woman with a big arm and round waist, and stumbled out.
Jiang Erniang hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but a servant woman dressed in gold and silver came up to her, she pushed Jiang Erniang away, and said with a sneer, "What do you mean? Where are all the cats and dogs coming to our house? Is this the pigsty kennel in your country? Anyone can enter?"
Jiang Erniang hurried forward and was going up the steps, but was pushed down by the servant woman condescendingly, so she couldn't stand still and stepped down.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and reached out to support her.
After such a toss, Jiang Youniang was also pulled out by her mother-in-law.The gauze on her face covered her right eye, and she couldn't see clearly. When she stepped out of the threshold, she was pushed and shoved in Jiang Erniang's direction by the woman, and directly bumped into Jiang Erniang's arms.
Jiang Erniang caught her hastily, smelling the sour and bitter smell of medicine on her body, her blood surged up: "Little sister?"
Jiang Youniang hangs softly on her body, seems to be still struggling to stand still, and whispers: "Go quickly."
Sister-in-law Yan frowned and looked at the servant woman wearing gold and jade, and asked, "Sister, please show me, what kind of regulations is this?"
The two little servant girls who followed the servant woman were carrying Jiang Youniang's bundles, and now they all fell out, aiming at the places where there was mud on the ground.The bundle was packed in an extremely perfunctory and hasty way, and it scattered all over the place when it landed, intentionally spilling the girl's most intimate bellyband obscene clothes all over the floor.
Jiang Erniang was still holding Jiang Youniang in her arms, and she didn't have time to look at it. Aunt Yan knew that it was a shame to throw away the bag, so she bent down to pack it immediately.
Mrs. Yan was covering up the embarrassment in her bag, and the maid stood on the steps, with her hips akimbo, and said proudly: "This Miss Jiang is probably spoiled and spoiled at home, and she can't do any work well. Embroider a handkerchief." It can hurt your eyes. People like us who accumulate kindness and cherish blessings are the most magnanimous and sympathetic to the slaves. Since there are people in the family, the lady is kind and not asked to take money for ransom, so let's go home."
Jiang Youniang covered her right eye with gauze wrapped around her head, and Jiang Erniang was a little worried. Now the maid said that she had hurt her eye, and Jiang Erniang became even more distressed, and asked quickly: "Little sister, what happened to your eye? Is it seriously hurt? Why? hurt?"
Jiang Youniang couldn't help urging: "Let's go, let's go."
Mrs. Yan gathered the burdens on the ground together, raised her head and asked, "Sister, I believe what she said. Since she is a family that accumulates kindness and cherishes blessings, she is so magnanimous that she let our girl go home with her noble hands. Please also take the deed together." bestow."
The servant woman sneered and said: "You are ridiculous. What kind of family is our family? We talked about releasing the slaves and returning home, but are we still holding on to a paper deed? The deed of sale has already been burned, so naturally it doesn't exist anymore. "
The Zhao family held on to the contract of sale, naturally out of legal considerations.If you kill a servant, you only need to pay a fine of silver, but if you kill a commoner, you have to pay with your life.
Throwing Jiang Youniang home now, regardless of whether Jiang Youniang is dead or alive, it can be inferred that her family did not take good care of her and has nothing to do with the Zhao family.If the Jiang family dares to make trouble, the Zhao family still has Jiang Youniang's contract of selling herself.Advance, attack, retreat, and defend.
No matter how the Zhao family fell back, the momentum was not as good as before. That was also the consideration of the main family. As a slave, Madam Yan could not do anything to the Zhao family, so she and Jiang Erniang carefully supported Jiang Youniang to go back.
Xie Qinghe knew nothing about it.
He and Elder Tan were sitting in the sugar shop, each serving a bowl of sugarcane horseshoe juice, chatting about landscape and geomantic omen.
The shopkeeper of the Tangshui shop stood beside them, listening mesmerizingly.Elder Tan is very casual and generous. He arranged the tray according to this year's flying stars, and pointed out where the shopkeeper should put what things in order to make a fortune, not to get sick, and to have a prosperous family business...
Xie Qinghe came up with an idea there.
The so-called blindness does not mean harming anyone.He thinks wildly and unconstrainedly, likes to adapt measures to local conditions, and does not use traditional Feng Shui objects much.
Every time Elder Tan felt that he had come up with an idea, he thought about it carefully and found it wonderful.
The two were talking excitedly when the coachman shouted: "Mr. Jiang!"
Xie Qinghe looked back, stood up suddenly, and had already run three feet away: "Third sister?! Come on, the nearest medical center."
He carried Jiang Youniang into the carriage without even taking Jiang Erniang with him. The coachman swung his whip violently, and the carriage flew out.
Xie Qinghe stretched out his left and right hands, and held down Jiang Youniang's hands. When he knew that Jiang Youniang's life was not in danger, he heaved a sigh of relief, gently supported Jiang Youniang's head with his hand, and asked, "How did the eyes hurt? How long did it take?" ? What kind of medicine did you use?"
Jiang Youniang wept a little from her left eye exposed outside the gauze, and said sobbingly, "Scissors."
That experience was obviously too scary for Jiang Youniang, she cried and trembled, unable to have a normal conversation.
Xie Qinghe had no choice but to rub hard on her sleeping acupoint, forcefully pushing her down.
After a while, the car stopped, and the driver said outside: "Mr. Jiang, the nearest medical clinic has arrived. I heard that the doctor sitting here is not very good at medicine. If you don't walk three or five miles, there is a doctor Wang in Deshengfang... ..."
Xie Qinghe didn't need any genius doctor to treat him. What he needed was a complete set of needles, as many medicinal materials as possible, and pharmaceutical utensils.
He carried Jiang Youniang out of the carriage, and a doctor came to see Jiang Youniang immediately. Seeing that Jiang Youniang's head was wrapped in gauze, he knew it was a trauma, and he specially hired a doctor who was skilled in surgery to follow her.Xie Qinghe asked for a bed against the wall, the doctor naturally stepped forward to take over, and was about to remove the gauze, Xie Qinghe frowned and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
The doctor saw too many tricky and arrogant patients, so he said with a straight face: "This old man has been practicing medicine for twenty..."
Elder Tan came over with a jug of spirits, Xie Qinghe rinsed his hands, and started to remove the gauze for Jiang Youniang.
Seeing Xie Qinghe's swift and meticulous hands and feet, the doctor was stunned for a moment, and when the gauze was removed and saw Jiang Youniang's abscessed and blood-stained right eye, the doctor immediately quit: "The patient's injuries are so serious, it's fine if you bring them here and call the old man for treatment." , you have been tossing around here by yourself, if you kill people and put them to death, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of our Huichuntang? Are you deliberately blackmailing us?!"
Speaking of which, the doctor asked Yaotong to find the shopkeeper: "Quickly, bring Lao Qiu here, someone is here to make trouble! Pengcier!"
Elder Tan was on the sidelines, and from the first moment Xie Qinghe entered the door with Jiang Youniang in his arms, the entire medical hall was occupied.
The furnishings of each medical center and pharmacy have established regulations, and they are all pretty much the same. It is very convenient for Xie Qinghe to find something.All the doctors, medicine boys and apprentices were stopped by Elder Tan, watching Xie Qinghe ostentatiously taking medical equipment and supplies, and treating Jiang Youniang's wound that had not improved after several days.
At the beginning, these people were still in a state of despair and shared the same hatred. They wanted to yell and curse twice, and declared to the patients around them: "Neighbors, you have also seen it! This has nothing to do with our Huichuntang. They treated it themselves!"
Xie Qinghe caught Sanwei not using slightly toxic medicinal materials to boil water, and asked Elder Tan: "Can the elder give me a breath of fresh air?"
Elder Tan glanced him up and down, nodded: "Yes."
After the establishment of the foundation, monks who have achieved success in cultivation can give this breath of fresh air, which is also a very precious thing, and they are not willing to give it away easily.
Xie Qinghe boiled the three-drug soup into a thick concoction and filtered it out. Elder Tan exhaled a breath of fresh air into the hot medicine bowl. Others couldn't see clearly, so only Elder Tan could see that the breath he exhaled did not dissipate. , but just like the little stars shining on the water lines under the moon, all of them were buried in the bowl of strange poisonous juice.
Xie Qinghe took another bowl, let the poisonous juice in the bowl cool down to a suitable temperature, and wiped Jiang Youniang's injured eyes with his hands.
In just three or five strokes, Xie Qinghe's fingers were corroded by the poisonous juice, revealing a tender flesh color.Surprisingly, only the skin was corroded, no bleeding, and no injury to the muscles under the skin.
The doctor's drug boy apprentices who were watching nearby were all stunned and amazed.
Elder Tan couldn't help asking, "Three Du Shengji Decoction?"
Xie Qinghe concentrated on cleaning up Jiang Youniang's eye injury, and nodded perfunctorily as he had no time to care about him.
The pain of debridement made Jiang Youniang almost wake up from her lethargy, without Xie Qinghe's request, Elder Tan touched her sleeping acupoint.Elder Tan has a lot of cultivation, so his technique is naturally much more ingenious and effective than Xie Qinghe's forceful kneading, and Jiang Youniang fell into a deep sleep again.
Xie Qinghe kept dipping in the poisonous juice to clean Jiang Youniang's injured eyes. After the pus and blood were gone, the broken eyeballs were exposed.
Elder Tan knew that there was no way to save him, but he had some unbelievable hopes for Xie Qinghe: "Can it be saved?"
Xie Qinghe shook his head slowly.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
Jiang Youniang's eyes were hurt badly. If she was treated immediately after the injury, she could recover a little vision.
After being injured, she became entangled in a confused way, the wound inside was a mess, and even pus and blood flowed out... It is already a miracle that no blood was injured into the brain and endangered her life.Now the remaining half of the eyeball is also a dead object, and I can't keep it.
When Erniang Jiang and Sister-in-law Yan rushed in, they happened to see Xie Qinghe gouging out the remaining half of Jiang Youniang's eyeball.
"Ah!—" Jiang Erniang screamed and passed out immediately.
The doctors who were stopped outside rushed to save people, and shopkeeper Qiu also rushed over: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
There was no need for Elder Tan to stop him at this moment, a few doctors sitting in the hall stopped shopkeeper Qiu, told the cause and effect of the incident, and then quietly told shopkeeper Qiu: "Don't make a fuss, let's watch secretly, this young man uses medicine... ... Tsk tsk, it's kind of interesting."
Xie Qinghe used to practice medicine to help the world for several lifetimes. He was very quick in his hands and feet in curing diseases and saving lives, and it was no problem to heal Jiang Youniang's injuries.
Not only the doctors of Huichuntang wanted to steal the teacher quietly, Elder Tan also knew a little about Qihuang's way, and looked at his methods with a bit of inquiring heart.
Just like the way of feng shui just said, many of Xie Qinghe's practices are not traditional, he pays attention to adapting measures to local conditions, and uses whatever is in hand.At first glance, I think he doesn't follow the rules, but when I look closely, I can't help but be overwhelmed.Elder Tan has reached a bottleneck in his practice for a long time. Xie Qinghe's ideas have given him many new directions, and he is always pleasantly surprised.
However, it was Jiang Youniang who hurt her eyes, and Xie Qinghe was emotionally affected, and the gentle smile that often hung on her face disappeared.
Wearing Jiang Yingzhou's skin, he looked like a young man, once he put down his face, even Elder Tan felt a little scared for no reason.
When it came time to apply the needles, Xie Qinghe thought he was limited by his skin, and beside him was Elder Tan, a successful practitioner, so he asked Elder Tan to do it for him.Where to apply the needle, how much force is used, how deep is the penetration, as long as Xie Qinghe can say it, Elder Tan can do it.
The doctors sitting in the hall all pricked up their ears to steal the teacher. When it was lunch time in the afternoon, they would not even eat the meal. It's the work of the drug boy's apprentice, and he picked it up today, but he refuses to leave anyway.
After the acupuncture, Xie Qinghe prescribed prescriptions for Jiang Youniang, and the way of preparing several medicines was also different from usual. He borrowed the utensils from Huichun Hall to do it himself, and several doctors sitting in the hall squeezed over to watch.Xie Qinghe had no choice but to tell them: "I will keep all the recipes that can be used. You can't use this gunpowder method—there is a lack of introduction."
The most precious introduction, of course, is Elder Tan's breath of fresh air.Where can ordinary medical centers and pharmacies use such medicinal materials?
At this time, someone in Huichun Hall was already making Sandu Shengji Decoction.The medicinal materials are the same as the water and the heat. I imitated Elder Tan and let out a sigh of relief. I carefully dipped my fingers in it and found that it had no effect of corroding the skin at all. It was just a very common venom.
"It looks like I'm just short of breath." The doctor sighed.
If Jiang Youniang was seriously injured and Elder Tan was present, Xie Qinghe would not use such extravagant remedies.
After everything was packed, it was already the climax of the moon.
Sister-in-law Yan arranged for a coachman to go to the outskirts of the city to report to He Jing, and paid a generous consultation fee for Huichun Hall, and borrowed the kitchen to cook for everyone.Seeing that Jiang Youniang would not be able to move for a while, she went to He's house to move bedding, screens and other things, and placed them in the corner of Huichun Hall so that Xie Qinghe could take a nap at night.
Xie Qinghe thanked Elder Tan repeatedly, and asked him to go back to rest. Elder Tan shook his head and said: "I am a practitioner, just sit for a while and you will be fine."
Over there, Jiang Erniang had long since neglected the protection of men and women, and lay down beside Jiang Youniang's bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Since everyone didn't leave, Huichun Hall closed the door.Mrs. Yan gave a reward to the apprentice who was in charge of closing the stall.
Xie Qinghe said: "Thank you very much today."
Sister-in-law Yan blessed Fushen, brought up the prepared wine and dishes, and asked Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan to eat some more.
Because of Mrs. Yan, Elder Tan was quite curious about He Jing and asked a few questions.
Xie Qinghe told the story of his acquaintance with He Jing and Yuan Shi'an. He heard that He Jing took people to Qianxihou's Mansion to protect Yuan Shi'an, and insisted that Xie Qinghe remember the hatred of wealth and death. Quite appreciative: "It sounds like a kind and righteous little guy."
Xie Qinghe ate a stewed peanut and watched the lantern without saying a word.
■
The next day, not long after the city gate opened, He Jing and Yuan Shi'an came to Huichun Hall by car to visit.
If it wasn't for the accident that Chengyuan Pavilion was burned, in two days, Qianxi Hou's Mansion would go to Zhao's Mansion for a gift, and they would be a real couple just waiting for their personal welcome.Jiang Youniang was blinded in the Zhao Mansion and came back dying. How could Yuan Shi'an get away with it?In this era when the husband is the guide for the wife, if the wife does something bad, the husband is the one who will bear the brunt of the crime—how can you manage your wife badly?
Yuan Shi'an and Ms. Zhao's marriage is still close to the door, and they are still unmarried couples for the time being, Yuan Shi'an is still shocked and deeply ashamed.
Xie Qinghe did not accept his apology, and said: "What is the truth about this matter, we will talk about it after the third sister wakes up."
Elder Tan looked at He Jing with a smile: "This is Mr. He?"
He Jing's back felt hairy from being watched by him, and she looked at Xie Qinghe's face: "Sir, this...?"
"This is the elder of the Immortal Gate of the World, Senior Tan. Elder Tan, this is Yuan Shi'an. He was taken out of his soul in Chengyuan Pavilion." Xie Qinghe felt that Elder Tan was not doing his job properly, so he squatted in the Huichun Hall all night. Is it just to check the spiritual source that Yuan Shi'an carried in his soul?
Elder Tan said that there is no rush, and he patted Yuan Shian's shoulder lightly with his palm, and Yuan Shian's earth soul flew out of his body in an instant.
Xie Qinghe is not surprised.
The great practitioners who have the decent inheritance of the Hanjiang Sword School are all experts in manipulating the soul.
A person has no memory in the state of leaving the soul, and Yuan Shi'an's earth soul calmly walked around the Huichun Hall, ran to the steps in the inner courtyard and sat down, looking up at the sky.Elder Tan followed him out, and following his gaze, there was nothing.
"Come here, I will take a look at you." Elder Tan ordered.
The primordial soul of a practitioner has pressure on the soul, and usually can make the soul that is not strong enough to obey automatically.
Yuan Shi'an looked back at him, got up and walked back.
Elder Tan was about to pull him to see the spiritual source left on his body, but Yuan Shi'an kept walking and walked to Xie Qinghe's side, sitting beside Xie Qinghe like a child who couldn't grow up, hugging Xie Qinghe's leg , hit his head on it.
In Yuan Shi'an's eyes, Xie Qinghe was a glorious image with divine light and incomparable majesty. He should have feared and worshiped him, but he didn't know why he was full of attachment and admiration, so he dared to go up and hug him.
Elder Tan could only see Yuan Shi'an's soul, but not Xie Qinghe's Yuan soul hidden in his skin, and felt very strange.
"What are you doing holding him?" Elder Tan asked.
Yuan Shi'an hugged Xie Qinghe's leg tightly, and murmured, "Protect me."
Xie Qinghe explained: "I called his soul. Maybe I vaguely remember it."
Elder Tan looked at Xie Qinghe with strange eyes.The earth soul is a consciousness soul, without emotion.When An Ruo sought refuge and hugged Xie Qinghe, Elder Tan didn't think it was weird.Now An Mingming had developed a heart of admiration and attachment at the original time, and the abnormality must be in Xie Qinghe.
At this time, he couldn't care less about finding out the truth, Elder Tan approached Yuan Shi'an patiently, and checked his soul.
Yuan Shi'an was very disturbed, and hugged Xie Qinghe tightly: "Don't touch me, don't touch me."
Elder Tan glanced at Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe said embarrassingly: "Are you... free?"
Elder Tan turned Yuan Shi'an's body up and down, and found an invisible mark on his waist.Xie Qinghe was limited by his skin and couldn't see anything. Elder Tan pressed the mark on Yuan Shi'an's waist lightly, and Yuan Shi'an kept crying.
Seeing Elder Tan kept pressing, Xie Qinghe had no choice but to remind: "The weeping of the soul hurts the root."
Elder Tan sneered: "You, a teacher who teaches writing, can protect your shortcomings."
After all, Elder Tan wiped his hand on the ground, unexpectedly picked up all the "teardrops" that Yuan Shi'an dropped on the ground, and pasted them all on Yuan Shi'an's face.At that time, An's pale soul body rippled like water waves, and actually swallowed back the tears that flowed out.
Xie Qinghe cupped his hands.Elder Tan's soul-replenishing skill is absolutely rare in a thousand years.
"Come on." Elder Tan caught a trace of mysterious and unpredictable aura in the void, grabbed Yuan Shi'an by the neckline, and stuffed him back into his skin.
Yuan Shi'an had been sitting with his head tilted, suddenly his breathing became heavy, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan talked so much that the insiders were a little horrified. At this moment, Yuan Shi'an suddenly returned to his soul, which shocked He Jing, who was angry with him, and couldn't help asking: " Are you awake?!"
Yuan Shi'an still didn't remember anything, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Elder Tan took out three ancient coins from his sleeve, slapped the bell on his palm, turned his head to look at Jiang Youniang who was still sleeping inside the screen, and said, "You are here to take care of my sister. I will take care of this matter, so don't worry about it."
Yuan Shi'an and He Jing were both at a loss, seeing Xie Qinghe nodding, He Jing first protested: "Sir, I..."
"You can't help and you can't do your best." Xie Qinghe interrupted his resistance.
Elder Tan chuckled and said, "Avenge your book boy?"
He Jing looked at Xie Qinghe's face first.Seeing that Xie Qinghe nodded with ease, he went to ask Elder Tan: "Senior, you also know about my family's rich son? How can this be a good thing!"
"You can't walk with your feet. How about this, if I catch the person who performed the spell and bring him here for interrogation, how about it?" Elder Tan was very kind to He Jing.
He Jing hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, senior."
Yuan Shi'an couldn't speak, and stood quietly on the side, followed by saluting: "Thank you, senior."
Jiang Youniang's wound should not be moved, she can only rest in the Huichun Hall.If other places can spend money to buy peace, pharmacies and clinics are places to cure diseases and save lives, and there is absolutely no reason for people to close their doors and go out of business.Sister-in-law Yan spent a lot of money yesterday to ask Huichuntang to set up a shed at the back door to sit in the clinic.
Now that the lobby is vacant, Yuan Shi'an, He Jing and the servants they brought can be accommodated.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Youniang slowly woke up. Xie Qinghe gave her a decoction to relieve pain, and her mood was still stable.
Yuan Shi'an was very concerned about what happened in Zhao's house, but he couldn't rush to ask.On the contrary, Jiang Erniang was more anxious and asked, "Little sister, what happened to you at Zhao's house? Who made your eyes?"
Jiang Youniang couldn't help crying when she mentioned this matter, she said: "Master beats slaves, even if I tell who did it, can I still get revenge?"
Jiang Erniang also got along with Yuan Shi'an in Yangting County for a few months, and knowing that he respected her younger brother, she slammed the table and said, "Why can't I take revenge? Then Mrs. Zhao is the fiancée of my younger brother's student. How dare she If you bully you, tell your younger brother, that student, to beat her to death!"
Jiang Youniang was dumbfounded.
Sitting in the same medicine hall, Yuan Shi'an and He Jing were only separated by a screen, unable to block the sound at all.
After hearing Jiang Erniang's words, Yuan Shi'an and He Jing also looked at each other in blank dismay.
After a pause, I heard Xie Qinghe say: "Sister's revenge, of course I will take revenge. It has nothing to do with others. Second sister, don't say this anymore."
"Are you going to take revenge? How do you want to take revenge?" Jiang Erniang said with tears in her voice, "My parents gave my little sister to the Zhao family as an adopted daughter. If you go to the government to sue him, they will send you a few taels of silver. Then Xiao Yuan Help Xiaohe, the Zhao family can't get away with money, but what can you do to the Zhao family as long as a butler comes out to take the blame? My little sister lost an eye, and we can't even touch Miss Zhao's finger! "
The lives of officials are expensive, and the lives of ordinary people are cheap, this is the truth in this world.Jiang Erniang's revenge method of "asking her own people to marry her, and then torture her with her husband" sounds absurd and shameless, but it seems to be the only legal and feasible solution.
Jiang Youniang's voice was weak: "Second Sister, I don't know who your younger brother's students are. You say, marry a wife and a good man, a good daughter-in-law, good descendants for three generations, that woman... has a bad heart, just harm other people's family." , don’t harm my younger brother’s students.”
He Jing kept kicking Yuan Shi'an with the back of her feet and pouted at him.
Yuan Shi'an was still hesitating.His marriage involved the position of the eldest son of the Marquis of Qianxi, and he didn't want to make any changes to his marriage until the people behind the Chengyuan Pavilion confirmed it.However, if it is confirmed that Miss Zhao hurt Jiang Youniang's eyes, this marriage must not be possible.
Jiang Youniang did not describe what happened specifically. She said that Miss Zhao's heart was not good, and that marrying would be a disaster, and her attitude was very clear.
Yuan Shi'an softly ordered: "Get ready to retire the engagement."
After Jiang Youniang finished speaking, Jiang Erniang also realized that she was too selfish, so she turned her head and stopped talking.
Xie Qinghe fed Jiang Youniang two mouthfuls of millet porridge, and asked, "Third sister, if you are tired, rest. If you are not tired, explain the cause and effect briefly." He smiled slightly, "I really want to avenge you, you To be clear, I know what's on my mind."
Jiang Youniang was a little uneasy, looking at Xie Qinghe's gentle and calm face, she slowly calmed down, and began to describe the time.
"I...Actually, at the beginning, I got along well. Although I didn't want to be a concubine, my parents received such a large amount of money from others, and I didn't have any reason to blame the people who spent the money. Me. I just thought, anyway, I bought it to help embroider the dowry, as long as I do my job well, I can count on my ability to make a living, and I’m not a vulgar person waiting to climb high.”
"The lady treated me very well along the way. She said that I was good at embroidery and that I had a good temper. I could read a few words, and I was inferior to the other maids around the lady. At that time, I also knew about it. It's not good, how could you dare to offend the original people when you're new here? I usually try to please those maids and sisters, but it's too late, they just hate me."
"It's just that there were young ladies protecting me at that time, and they hated it anyway, and they didn't do anything to me."
"After arriving in the capital, the wife lost her temper. She blamed the lady for running to her aunt's house so close to the wedding. The lady was reprimanded and punished for being in a bad mood. The wife asked about the dowry of the lady...and reprimanded the lady for being careless. They were all fooling around, they didn’t embroider well, and in a fit of anger, they pricked Miss’ finger with a needle.”
Speaking of this, He Jing who was sitting outside the screen opened her mouth wide.
Ms. Zhao's mother is the daughter of Marquis Changxi, the daughter of the dignified Marquis's mansion, but she is so violent that she pricks her daughter's finger with a needle?
"I was ostracized, and I'm not a servant of the Zhao family. The lady was punished by the wife, and others kept it from me. I don't know the details. The wife asked the lady to make embroidery again. I used my embroidery to slap the young lady in the face, and put all my heart and soul into pleasing the young lady, but the more careful I did, the angrier the young lady would be, and if there were a few maids and sisters who made trouble, the young lady would hate me even more."
"In those few days, I had a hard time. I didn't know why the lady was angry. I couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well on weekdays. I was always bullied by the big maids around the lady. There were so many of them, but I was born I don’t know the land well, so I really can’t get them.”
"Later, Chunying... was a second-class servant girl next to Miss. She pretended to be nice to me, and occasionally brought me some food and food. When others bullied me, she pretended to say a few words for me. Just really believe...she is a good person."
Speaking of this, Jiang Youniang choked up, obviously very sad for Chunying's betrayal.
"After more than ten days, Chun Ying told me that I couldn't stay with Miss like this any longer. Even if I married Miss to the Marquis of Qianxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't live for a few years before being tortured to death. Why don't you think about it?" Zhe stayed at Zhao's house. When she was young, her wife was outstanding at embroidery, and she liked girls who were good at needlework. She asked me to make a few embroidery samples that showed kung fu and sent them to the wife's courtyard. left behind."
"At that time... I really believed in Chunying. I believed everything she said. She brought me embroidered thread and fabric, and I made a table screen that spread out all over the place." At this point, Jiang Youniang sobbed, "I'm afraid that the patterns I made are not good enough. For the four-zhan table screen, I used what my younger brother drew before, the picture of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and embroidered it bit by bit by guarding the oil lamp at night..."
"The things have just been finished, and it's too late to send them out. Of course, they didn't intend to let me send them out. This matter was stabbed to the lady. The lady was very angry and asked me if I was very proud of my embroidery work. Are you proud of being able to read and ask me if I want to seduce my future son-in-law... I naturally have to deny that I didn't want to marry at first,
Elder Tan didn't know what the purpose was, and urged: "This seat will go with you to pick up the person, and then go to the victim whose soul has been separated."
"Then I have to wash my face too."
Xie Qinghe couldn't pick someone up with a face Jiang Youniang didn't recognize.
Xie Qinghe found a nearby inn, asked for a private room, and washed his face with the medicine he brought.
Elder Tan watched curiously as he wiped his face with water, washed off the black powder on his hands, face and neck, and even tore off some strange soft substances from his face.Such a disguise technique made Elder Tan amazed.
When Xie Qinghe wiped his face clean with a towel and revealed his true face, Elder Tan let out a light sigh: "Looking at your face, there must be a death calamity in the near future."
The original Jiang Yingzhou was indeed about to die because he coveted Miss Zhao.
Xie Qinghe didn't intend to explain his background, he put down the towel to wipe his face, and said tactfully: "Today I asked to see the elder, and I found the protection of a noble person. I think the junior's life will be saved?"
The glimmer of life for "Jiang Yingzhou" actually comes from Xie Qinghe.
As long as Xie Qinghe doesn't follow Jiang Yingzhou's example of brain damage, and doesn't provoke and seduce Ms. Zhao, the disaster of killing her and her family will be eliminated immediately.
Elder Tan didn't understand what was going on, he only knew that Jiang Yingzhou's death was imminent, and he could vaguely see that he had a sign of escape.Xie Qinghe complimented him, and he naturally attributed the grace of saving the nobleman to himself.
"Hold your heart upright, and you will be blessed by virtue. It's just a marquis's mansion." Elder Tan sneered, "It's nothing to worry about."
It was Ms. Zhao who Jiang Yingzhou offended. To Jiang Yingzhou, that was an absolute powerful official.Elder Tan speculated simply by looking at his face, and mistakenly thought that he had provoked the Marquis of Qianxi, and that he should be above the powerful.
These are all harmless little misunderstandings, not to mention that Qianxihou's Mansion is really not clean, and Xie Qinghe didn't bother to correct it.
After washing his face and changing his clothes, Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan rushed to Zhao Mansion on foot.Jiang Erniang has been waiting for a long time at the nearby Tangshui shop.
"Where did you go? What time is this?" Jiang Erniang was a little anxious.
Elder Tan is of a high seniority, and he is not too young, but because of his cultivation and his good looks, he looks only in his thirties, which is the time when he is personable and dignified.Jiang Erniang hurriedly reprimanded, only to find that Xie Qinghe was wearing a bun and wearing a yin and yang fish belt around her waist, and she was a little frightened: "Brother, what kind of clothes are you wearing?"
Scholars and Confucian scholars in this day and age like to wear Taoist robes, and it is rare for Xie Qinghe to dress up like a little Taoist priest.
Xie Qinghe booed with his fingers up, and said, "Aren't you going to pick up the third sister? Go quickly. I'll wait here."
The reason why Jiang Erniang was asked to come forward to find someone after Xie Qinghe arrived was because she was afraid that something unreasonable would happen and Jiang Erniang would not be able to handle it.If you really want to ask for a maid from the hands of the official's daughter, naturally you need the female relatives to do it.
Jiang Erniang didn't go alone either.
On the way to the Zhao residence, the carriage turned a corner and went to the He family.The coachman waited at the door for a while, and a gentle-looking woman in her thirties came out. She called herself Sister-in-law Yan, greeted Jiang Erniang, said she was the housekeeper's wife of the He family, and accompanied Jiang Erniang to pick her up.
Jiang Erniang was also a little apprehensive towards the rich and powerful, and she was more confident with Mrs. Yan's company.
Sister-in-law Yan refused to let Jiang Erniang knock on the main door, and led her to the Yimen door on the side, knocked on the door, first gave half a tael of silver to the guard at the door, and said politely: "Ask me about someone."
Seeing that Mrs. Yan was neatly dressed, with gold buttons hidden in her hair, gold earrings on her ears, and a plain skirt with narrow sleeves, she was indescribably gentle and capable, and immediately knew that she was a respectable housekeeper's wife in Beppu, and immediately refused. Dare to be too negligent, accept the money and bow first: "Thank you, Auntie, for the reward."
Sister-in-law Yan didn't tell her where she came from, but she described Jiang Youniang's story to the gatekeeper, and said, "This is Miss Jiang's older sister, here to give her some things. Brother, please help me out. If it's convenient, please ask Miss Jiang." Come and meet at the door."
Each household is only qualified to receive guests at the house if it is a respectable host family. When the family of an ordinary girl and servant comes, the host family will be gracious, that is, say a few words at the door.Xie Qinghe didn't want to startle the snake, and He Jing repeatedly told her to keep a low profile, so Mrs. Yan followed the rules.
The boy had a troubled look on his face.
Sister-in-law Yan took out a one-two-weight silver key and stuffed it into the boy's hand: "Hard work, brother, help me. I also came up from the south of the Yangtze River not far away, and I only saw one side."
The young man intentionally lingered for a while, saying that he couldn't earn a few more taels of silver, and Mrs. Yan's face gradually relaxed.
Jiang Erniang watched his words and expressions, and stepped forward to coax the boy: "Little brother, please do me a favor and let me meet my sister. Be merciful, be merciful."
The gatekeeper was also a little afraid that Mrs. Yan would make a fuss, and he was even more reluctant to get the money. He said, "Then I'll go to the door and ask. At this time, the girls..."
Mrs. Yan said with a straight face: "At this time, the girls are resting and relaxing, and the people below are free."
The young man choked for a moment, and didn't dare to talk about his young lady's daily life, so he had to find someone desperately: "I'll try my best to pass in the words. Whether it comes out or not depends on luck."
Mrs. Yan stuck her foot in the door, leaned against the door panel, and said, "Even if Miss Jiang can't come out, you have to call me the woman who guards the door."
The boy was helpless because of her trouble: "Oh, which aunt is this... Okay, okay, I know."
The gatekeeper went in for a long time, Jiang Erniang was a little upset: "Sister-in-law Yan, did that man take the money and run away?"
Sister-in-law Yan comforted her: "The monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away. He is guarding the door of Zhao's house. Where else can he go? If things don't go well, he has to come and refund the money."
In these years, I have to be honest in collecting money, because I am afraid that people will make a fuss and hit the master's hands, and the money will cause a whole lot of trouble if I don't earn it.If Jiang Erniang came alone, the boy might dare to bully him a little bit, but with a housekeeper and daughter-in-law like Mrs. Yan who seemed to know her way around, the doorman would not dare to mess around.
Jiang Erniang barely suppressed her anxiety, sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to the third sister."
Mrs. Yan didn't dare to comfort her carelessly.
The daughters of wealthy families have different personalities, and they are all knowledgeable, polite, gentle and generous when they speak out. Not to mention that outsiders can't understand their true character, many husbands don't know (nor care) what is behind their wives. .It is very common for a girl with a good temper to treat her as a daughter, and to meet a young lady with a bad temper, who is covered in bruises every day.
After waiting for another half an hour, the small door on the side of the Zhao residence creaked open, and several people came out of the door.
Jiang Erniang glanced at Jiang Youniang, whose head was wrapped in bandages in the crowd, and was pulled by a woman with a big arm and round waist, and stumbled out.
Jiang Erniang hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but a servant woman dressed in gold and silver came up to her, she pushed Jiang Erniang away, and said with a sneer, "What do you mean? Where are all the cats and dogs coming to our house? Is this the pigsty kennel in your country? Anyone can enter?"
Jiang Erniang hurried forward and was going up the steps, but was pushed down by the servant woman condescendingly, so she couldn't stand still and stepped down.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and reached out to support her.
After such a toss, Jiang Youniang was also pulled out by her mother-in-law.The gauze on her face covered her right eye, and she couldn't see clearly. When she stepped out of the threshold, she was pushed and shoved in Jiang Erniang's direction by the woman, and directly bumped into Jiang Erniang's arms.
Jiang Erniang caught her hastily, smelling the sour and bitter smell of medicine on her body, her blood surged up: "Little sister?"
Jiang Youniang hangs softly on her body, seems to be still struggling to stand still, and whispers: "Go quickly."
Sister-in-law Yan frowned and looked at the servant woman wearing gold and jade, and asked, "Sister, please show me, what kind of regulations is this?"
The two little servant girls who followed the servant woman were carrying Jiang Youniang's bundles, and now they all fell out, aiming at the places where there was mud on the ground.The bundle was packed in an extremely perfunctory and hasty way, and it scattered all over the place when it landed, intentionally spilling the girl's most intimate bellyband obscene clothes all over the floor.
Jiang Erniang was still holding Jiang Youniang in her arms, and she didn't have time to look at it. Aunt Yan knew that it was a shame to throw away the bag, so she bent down to pack it immediately.
Mrs. Yan was covering up the embarrassment in her bag, and the maid stood on the steps, with her hips akimbo, and said proudly: "This Miss Jiang is probably spoiled and spoiled at home, and she can't do any work well. Embroider a handkerchief." It can hurt your eyes. People like us who accumulate kindness and cherish blessings are the most magnanimous and sympathetic to the slaves. Since there are people in the family, the lady is kind and not asked to take money for ransom, so let's go home."
Jiang Youniang covered her right eye with gauze wrapped around her head, and Jiang Erniang was a little worried. Now the maid said that she had hurt her eye, and Jiang Erniang became even more distressed, and asked quickly: "Little sister, what happened to your eye? Is it seriously hurt? Why? hurt?"
Jiang Youniang couldn't help urging: "Let's go, let's go."
Mrs. Yan gathered the burdens on the ground together, raised her head and asked, "Sister, I believe what she said. Since she is a family that accumulates kindness and cherishes blessings, she is so magnanimous that she let our girl go home with her noble hands. Please also take the deed together." bestow."
The servant woman sneered and said: "You are ridiculous. What kind of family is our family? We talked about releasing the slaves and returning home, but are we still holding on to a paper deed? The deed of sale has already been burned, so naturally it doesn't exist anymore. "
The Zhao family held on to the contract of sale, naturally out of legal considerations.If you kill a servant, you only need to pay a fine of silver, but if you kill a commoner, you have to pay with your life.
Throwing Jiang Youniang home now, regardless of whether Jiang Youniang is dead or alive, it can be inferred that her family did not take good care of her and has nothing to do with the Zhao family.If the Jiang family dares to make trouble, the Zhao family still has Jiang Youniang's contract of selling herself.Advance, attack, retreat, and defend.
No matter how the Zhao family fell back, the momentum was not as good as before. That was also the consideration of the main family. As a slave, Madam Yan could not do anything to the Zhao family, so she and Jiang Erniang carefully supported Jiang Youniang to go back.
Xie Qinghe knew nothing about it.
He and Elder Tan were sitting in the sugar shop, each serving a bowl of sugarcane horseshoe juice, chatting about landscape and geomantic omen.
The shopkeeper of the Tangshui shop stood beside them, listening mesmerizingly.Elder Tan is very casual and generous. He arranged the tray according to this year's flying stars, and pointed out where the shopkeeper should put what things in order to make a fortune, not to get sick, and to have a prosperous family business...
Xie Qinghe came up with an idea there.
The so-called blindness does not mean harming anyone.He thinks wildly and unconstrainedly, likes to adapt measures to local conditions, and does not use traditional Feng Shui objects much.
Every time Elder Tan felt that he had come up with an idea, he thought about it carefully and found it wonderful.
The two were talking excitedly when the coachman shouted: "Mr. Jiang!"
Xie Qinghe looked back, stood up suddenly, and had already run three feet away: "Third sister?! Come on, the nearest medical center."
He carried Jiang Youniang into the carriage without even taking Jiang Erniang with him. The coachman swung his whip violently, and the carriage flew out.
Xie Qinghe stretched out his left and right hands, and held down Jiang Youniang's hands. When he knew that Jiang Youniang's life was not in danger, he heaved a sigh of relief, gently supported Jiang Youniang's head with his hand, and asked, "How did the eyes hurt? How long did it take?" ? What kind of medicine did you use?"
Jiang Youniang wept a little from her left eye exposed outside the gauze, and said sobbingly, "Scissors."
That experience was obviously too scary for Jiang Youniang, she cried and trembled, unable to have a normal conversation.
Xie Qinghe had no choice but to rub hard on her sleeping acupoint, forcefully pushing her down.
After a while, the car stopped, and the driver said outside: "Mr. Jiang, the nearest medical clinic has arrived. I heard that the doctor sitting here is not very good at medicine. If you don't walk three or five miles, there is a doctor Wang in Deshengfang... ..."
Xie Qinghe didn't need any genius doctor to treat him. What he needed was a complete set of needles, as many medicinal materials as possible, and pharmaceutical utensils.
He carried Jiang Youniang out of the carriage, and a doctor came to see Jiang Youniang immediately. Seeing that Jiang Youniang's head was wrapped in gauze, he knew it was a trauma, and he specially hired a doctor who was skilled in surgery to follow her.Xie Qinghe asked for a bed against the wall, the doctor naturally stepped forward to take over, and was about to remove the gauze, Xie Qinghe frowned and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
The doctor saw too many tricky and arrogant patients, so he said with a straight face: "This old man has been practicing medicine for twenty..."
Elder Tan came over with a jug of spirits, Xie Qinghe rinsed his hands, and started to remove the gauze for Jiang Youniang.
Seeing Xie Qinghe's swift and meticulous hands and feet, the doctor was stunned for a moment, and when the gauze was removed and saw Jiang Youniang's abscessed and blood-stained right eye, the doctor immediately quit: "The patient's injuries are so serious, it's fine if you bring them here and call the old man for treatment." , you have been tossing around here by yourself, if you kill people and put them to death, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of our Huichuntang? Are you deliberately blackmailing us?!"
Speaking of which, the doctor asked Yaotong to find the shopkeeper: "Quickly, bring Lao Qiu here, someone is here to make trouble! Pengcier!"
Elder Tan was on the sidelines, and from the first moment Xie Qinghe entered the door with Jiang Youniang in his arms, the entire medical hall was occupied.
The furnishings of each medical center and pharmacy have established regulations, and they are all pretty much the same. It is very convenient for Xie Qinghe to find something.All the doctors, medicine boys and apprentices were stopped by Elder Tan, watching Xie Qinghe ostentatiously taking medical equipment and supplies, and treating Jiang Youniang's wound that had not improved after several days.
At the beginning, these people were still in a state of despair and shared the same hatred. They wanted to yell and curse twice, and declared to the patients around them: "Neighbors, you have also seen it! This has nothing to do with our Huichuntang. They treated it themselves!"
Xie Qinghe caught Sanwei not using slightly toxic medicinal materials to boil water, and asked Elder Tan: "Can the elder give me a breath of fresh air?"
Elder Tan glanced him up and down, nodded: "Yes."
After the establishment of the foundation, monks who have achieved success in cultivation can give this breath of fresh air, which is also a very precious thing, and they are not willing to give it away easily.
Xie Qinghe boiled the three-drug soup into a thick concoction and filtered it out. Elder Tan exhaled a breath of fresh air into the hot medicine bowl. Others couldn't see clearly, so only Elder Tan could see that the breath he exhaled did not dissipate. , but just like the little stars shining on the water lines under the moon, all of them were buried in the bowl of strange poisonous juice.
Xie Qinghe took another bowl, let the poisonous juice in the bowl cool down to a suitable temperature, and wiped Jiang Youniang's injured eyes with his hands.
In just three or five strokes, Xie Qinghe's fingers were corroded by the poisonous juice, revealing a tender flesh color.Surprisingly, only the skin was corroded, no bleeding, and no injury to the muscles under the skin.
The doctor's drug boy apprentices who were watching nearby were all stunned and amazed.
Elder Tan couldn't help asking, "Three Du Shengji Decoction?"
Xie Qinghe concentrated on cleaning up Jiang Youniang's eye injury, and nodded perfunctorily as he had no time to care about him.
The pain of debridement made Jiang Youniang almost wake up from her lethargy, without Xie Qinghe's request, Elder Tan touched her sleeping acupoint.Elder Tan has a lot of cultivation, so his technique is naturally much more ingenious and effective than Xie Qinghe's forceful kneading, and Jiang Youniang fell into a deep sleep again.
Xie Qinghe kept dipping in the poisonous juice to clean Jiang Youniang's injured eyes. After the pus and blood were gone, the broken eyeballs were exposed.
Elder Tan knew that there was no way to save him, but he had some unbelievable hopes for Xie Qinghe: "Can it be saved?"
Xie Qinghe shook his head slowly.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
Jiang Youniang's eyes were hurt badly. If she was treated immediately after the injury, she could recover a little vision.
After being injured, she became entangled in a confused way, the wound inside was a mess, and even pus and blood flowed out... It is already a miracle that no blood was injured into the brain and endangered her life.Now the remaining half of the eyeball is also a dead object, and I can't keep it.
When Erniang Jiang and Sister-in-law Yan rushed in, they happened to see Xie Qinghe gouging out the remaining half of Jiang Youniang's eyeball.
"Ah!—" Jiang Erniang screamed and passed out immediately.
The doctors who were stopped outside rushed to save people, and shopkeeper Qiu also rushed over: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
There was no need for Elder Tan to stop him at this moment, a few doctors sitting in the hall stopped shopkeeper Qiu, told the cause and effect of the incident, and then quietly told shopkeeper Qiu: "Don't make a fuss, let's watch secretly, this young man uses medicine... ... Tsk tsk, it's kind of interesting."
Xie Qinghe used to practice medicine to help the world for several lifetimes. He was very quick in his hands and feet in curing diseases and saving lives, and it was no problem to heal Jiang Youniang's injuries.
Not only the doctors of Huichuntang wanted to steal the teacher quietly, Elder Tan also knew a little about Qihuang's way, and looked at his methods with a bit of inquiring heart.
Just like the way of feng shui just said, many of Xie Qinghe's practices are not traditional, he pays attention to adapting measures to local conditions, and uses whatever is in hand.At first glance, I think he doesn't follow the rules, but when I look closely, I can't help but be overwhelmed.Elder Tan has reached a bottleneck in his practice for a long time. Xie Qinghe's ideas have given him many new directions, and he is always pleasantly surprised.
However, it was Jiang Youniang who hurt her eyes, and Xie Qinghe was emotionally affected, and the gentle smile that often hung on her face disappeared.
Wearing Jiang Yingzhou's skin, he looked like a young man, once he put down his face, even Elder Tan felt a little scared for no reason.
When it came time to apply the needles, Xie Qinghe thought he was limited by his skin, and beside him was Elder Tan, a successful practitioner, so he asked Elder Tan to do it for him.Where to apply the needle, how much force is used, how deep is the penetration, as long as Xie Qinghe can say it, Elder Tan can do it.
The doctors sitting in the hall all pricked up their ears to steal the teacher. When it was lunch time in the afternoon, they would not even eat the meal. It's the work of the drug boy's apprentice, and he picked it up today, but he refuses to leave anyway.
After the acupuncture, Xie Qinghe prescribed prescriptions for Jiang Youniang, and the way of preparing several medicines was also different from usual. He borrowed the utensils from Huichun Hall to do it himself, and several doctors sitting in the hall squeezed over to watch.Xie Qinghe had no choice but to tell them: "I will keep all the recipes that can be used. You can't use this gunpowder method—there is a lack of introduction."
The most precious introduction, of course, is Elder Tan's breath of fresh air.Where can ordinary medical centers and pharmacies use such medicinal materials?
At this time, someone in Huichun Hall was already making Sandu Shengji Decoction.The medicinal materials are the same as the water and the heat. I imitated Elder Tan and let out a sigh of relief. I carefully dipped my fingers in it and found that it had no effect of corroding the skin at all. It was just a very common venom.
"It looks like I'm just short of breath." The doctor sighed.
If Jiang Youniang was seriously injured and Elder Tan was present, Xie Qinghe would not use such extravagant remedies.
After everything was packed, it was already the climax of the moon.
Sister-in-law Yan arranged for a coachman to go to the outskirts of the city to report to He Jing, and paid a generous consultation fee for Huichun Hall, and borrowed the kitchen to cook for everyone.Seeing that Jiang Youniang would not be able to move for a while, she went to He's house to move bedding, screens and other things, and placed them in the corner of Huichun Hall so that Xie Qinghe could take a nap at night.
Xie Qinghe thanked Elder Tan repeatedly, and asked him to go back to rest. Elder Tan shook his head and said: "I am a practitioner, just sit for a while and you will be fine."
Over there, Jiang Erniang had long since neglected the protection of men and women, and lay down beside Jiang Youniang's bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Since everyone didn't leave, Huichun Hall closed the door.Mrs. Yan gave a reward to the apprentice who was in charge of closing the stall.
Xie Qinghe said: "Thank you very much today."
Sister-in-law Yan blessed Fushen, brought up the prepared wine and dishes, and asked Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan to eat some more.
Because of Mrs. Yan, Elder Tan was quite curious about He Jing and asked a few questions.
Xie Qinghe told the story of his acquaintance with He Jing and Yuan Shi'an. He heard that He Jing took people to Qianxihou's Mansion to protect Yuan Shi'an, and insisted that Xie Qinghe remember the hatred of wealth and death. Quite appreciative: "It sounds like a kind and righteous little guy."
Xie Qinghe ate a stewed peanut and watched the lantern without saying a word.
■
The next day, not long after the city gate opened, He Jing and Yuan Shi'an came to Huichun Hall by car to visit.
If it wasn't for the accident that Chengyuan Pavilion was burned, in two days, Qianxi Hou's Mansion would go to Zhao's Mansion for a gift, and they would be a real couple just waiting for their personal welcome.Jiang Youniang was blinded in the Zhao Mansion and came back dying. How could Yuan Shi'an get away with it?In this era when the husband is the guide for the wife, if the wife does something bad, the husband is the one who will bear the brunt of the crime—how can you manage your wife badly?
Yuan Shi'an and Ms. Zhao's marriage is still close to the door, and they are still unmarried couples for the time being, Yuan Shi'an is still shocked and deeply ashamed.
Xie Qinghe did not accept his apology, and said: "What is the truth about this matter, we will talk about it after the third sister wakes up."
Elder Tan looked at He Jing with a smile: "This is Mr. He?"
He Jing's back felt hairy from being watched by him, and she looked at Xie Qinghe's face: "Sir, this...?"
"This is the elder of the Immortal Gate of the World, Senior Tan. Elder Tan, this is Yuan Shi'an. He was taken out of his soul in Chengyuan Pavilion." Xie Qinghe felt that Elder Tan was not doing his job properly, so he squatted in the Huichun Hall all night. Is it just to check the spiritual source that Yuan Shi'an carried in his soul?
Elder Tan said that there is no rush, and he patted Yuan Shian's shoulder lightly with his palm, and Yuan Shian's earth soul flew out of his body in an instant.
Xie Qinghe is not surprised.
The great practitioners who have the decent inheritance of the Hanjiang Sword School are all experts in manipulating the soul.
A person has no memory in the state of leaving the soul, and Yuan Shi'an's earth soul calmly walked around the Huichun Hall, ran to the steps in the inner courtyard and sat down, looking up at the sky.Elder Tan followed him out, and following his gaze, there was nothing.
"Come here, I will take a look at you." Elder Tan ordered.
The primordial soul of a practitioner has pressure on the soul, and usually can make the soul that is not strong enough to obey automatically.
Yuan Shi'an looked back at him, got up and walked back.
Elder Tan was about to pull him to see the spiritual source left on his body, but Yuan Shi'an kept walking and walked to Xie Qinghe's side, sitting beside Xie Qinghe like a child who couldn't grow up, hugging Xie Qinghe's leg , hit his head on it.
In Yuan Shi'an's eyes, Xie Qinghe was a glorious image with divine light and incomparable majesty. He should have feared and worshiped him, but he didn't know why he was full of attachment and admiration, so he dared to go up and hug him.
Elder Tan could only see Yuan Shi'an's soul, but not Xie Qinghe's Yuan soul hidden in his skin, and felt very strange.
"What are you doing holding him?" Elder Tan asked.
Yuan Shi'an hugged Xie Qinghe's leg tightly, and murmured, "Protect me."
Xie Qinghe explained: "I called his soul. Maybe I vaguely remember it."
Elder Tan looked at Xie Qinghe with strange eyes.The earth soul is a consciousness soul, without emotion.When An Ruo sought refuge and hugged Xie Qinghe, Elder Tan didn't think it was weird.Now An Mingming had developed a heart of admiration and attachment at the original time, and the abnormality must be in Xie Qinghe.
At this time, he couldn't care less about finding out the truth, Elder Tan approached Yuan Shi'an patiently, and checked his soul.
Yuan Shi'an was very disturbed, and hugged Xie Qinghe tightly: "Don't touch me, don't touch me."
Elder Tan glanced at Xie Qinghe.
Xie Qinghe said embarrassingly: "Are you... free?"
Elder Tan turned Yuan Shi'an's body up and down, and found an invisible mark on his waist.Xie Qinghe was limited by his skin and couldn't see anything. Elder Tan pressed the mark on Yuan Shi'an's waist lightly, and Yuan Shi'an kept crying.
Seeing Elder Tan kept pressing, Xie Qinghe had no choice but to remind: "The weeping of the soul hurts the root."
Elder Tan sneered: "You, a teacher who teaches writing, can protect your shortcomings."
After all, Elder Tan wiped his hand on the ground, unexpectedly picked up all the "teardrops" that Yuan Shi'an dropped on the ground, and pasted them all on Yuan Shi'an's face.At that time, An's pale soul body rippled like water waves, and actually swallowed back the tears that flowed out.
Xie Qinghe cupped his hands.Elder Tan's soul-replenishing skill is absolutely rare in a thousand years.
"Come on." Elder Tan caught a trace of mysterious and unpredictable aura in the void, grabbed Yuan Shi'an by the neckline, and stuffed him back into his skin.
Yuan Shi'an had been sitting with his head tilted, suddenly his breathing became heavy, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Xie Qinghe and Elder Tan talked so much that the insiders were a little horrified. At this moment, Yuan Shi'an suddenly returned to his soul, which shocked He Jing, who was angry with him, and couldn't help asking: " Are you awake?!"
Yuan Shi'an still didn't remember anything, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Elder Tan took out three ancient coins from his sleeve, slapped the bell on his palm, turned his head to look at Jiang Youniang who was still sleeping inside the screen, and said, "You are here to take care of my sister. I will take care of this matter, so don't worry about it."
Yuan Shi'an and He Jing were both at a loss, seeing Xie Qinghe nodding, He Jing first protested: "Sir, I..."
"You can't help and you can't do your best." Xie Qinghe interrupted his resistance.
Elder Tan chuckled and said, "Avenge your book boy?"
He Jing looked at Xie Qinghe's face first.Seeing that Xie Qinghe nodded with ease, he went to ask Elder Tan: "Senior, you also know about my family's rich son? How can this be a good thing!"
"You can't walk with your feet. How about this, if I catch the person who performed the spell and bring him here for interrogation, how about it?" Elder Tan was very kind to He Jing.
He Jing hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, senior."
Yuan Shi'an couldn't speak, and stood quietly on the side, followed by saluting: "Thank you, senior."
Jiang Youniang's wound should not be moved, she can only rest in the Huichun Hall.If other places can spend money to buy peace, pharmacies and clinics are places to cure diseases and save lives, and there is absolutely no reason for people to close their doors and go out of business.Sister-in-law Yan spent a lot of money yesterday to ask Huichuntang to set up a shed at the back door to sit in the clinic.
Now that the lobby is vacant, Yuan Shi'an, He Jing and the servants they brought can be accommodated.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Youniang slowly woke up. Xie Qinghe gave her a decoction to relieve pain, and her mood was still stable.
Yuan Shi'an was very concerned about what happened in Zhao's house, but he couldn't rush to ask.On the contrary, Jiang Erniang was more anxious and asked, "Little sister, what happened to you at Zhao's house? Who made your eyes?"
Jiang Youniang couldn't help crying when she mentioned this matter, she said: "Master beats slaves, even if I tell who did it, can I still get revenge?"
Jiang Erniang also got along with Yuan Shi'an in Yangting County for a few months, and knowing that he respected her younger brother, she slammed the table and said, "Why can't I take revenge? Then Mrs. Zhao is the fiancée of my younger brother's student. How dare she If you bully you, tell your younger brother, that student, to beat her to death!"
Jiang Youniang was dumbfounded.
Sitting in the same medicine hall, Yuan Shi'an and He Jing were only separated by a screen, unable to block the sound at all.
After hearing Jiang Erniang's words, Yuan Shi'an and He Jing also looked at each other in blank dismay.
After a pause, I heard Xie Qinghe say: "Sister's revenge, of course I will take revenge. It has nothing to do with others. Second sister, don't say this anymore."
"Are you going to take revenge? How do you want to take revenge?" Jiang Erniang said with tears in her voice, "My parents gave my little sister to the Zhao family as an adopted daughter. If you go to the government to sue him, they will send you a few taels of silver. Then Xiao Yuan Help Xiaohe, the Zhao family can't get away with money, but what can you do to the Zhao family as long as a butler comes out to take the blame? My little sister lost an eye, and we can't even touch Miss Zhao's finger! "
The lives of officials are expensive, and the lives of ordinary people are cheap, this is the truth in this world.Jiang Erniang's revenge method of "asking her own people to marry her, and then torture her with her husband" sounds absurd and shameless, but it seems to be the only legal and feasible solution.
Jiang Youniang's voice was weak: "Second Sister, I don't know who your younger brother's students are. You say, marry a wife and a good man, a good daughter-in-law, good descendants for three generations, that woman... has a bad heart, just harm other people's family." , don’t harm my younger brother’s students.”
He Jing kept kicking Yuan Shi'an with the back of her feet and pouted at him.
Yuan Shi'an was still hesitating.His marriage involved the position of the eldest son of the Marquis of Qianxi, and he didn't want to make any changes to his marriage until the people behind the Chengyuan Pavilion confirmed it.However, if it is confirmed that Miss Zhao hurt Jiang Youniang's eyes, this marriage must not be possible.
Jiang Youniang did not describe what happened specifically. She said that Miss Zhao's heart was not good, and that marrying would be a disaster, and her attitude was very clear.
Yuan Shi'an softly ordered: "Get ready to retire the engagement."
After Jiang Youniang finished speaking, Jiang Erniang also realized that she was too selfish, so she turned her head and stopped talking.
Xie Qinghe fed Jiang Youniang two mouthfuls of millet porridge, and asked, "Third sister, if you are tired, rest. If you are not tired, explain the cause and effect briefly." He smiled slightly, "I really want to avenge you, you To be clear, I know what's on my mind."
Jiang Youniang was a little uneasy, looking at Xie Qinghe's gentle and calm face, she slowly calmed down, and began to describe the time.
"I...Actually, at the beginning, I got along well. Although I didn't want to be a concubine, my parents received such a large amount of money from others, and I didn't have any reason to blame the people who spent the money. Me. I just thought, anyway, I bought it to help embroider the dowry, as long as I do my job well, I can count on my ability to make a living, and I’m not a vulgar person waiting to climb high.”
"The lady treated me very well along the way. She said that I was good at embroidery and that I had a good temper. I could read a few words, and I was inferior to the other maids around the lady. At that time, I also knew about it. It's not good, how could you dare to offend the original people when you're new here? I usually try to please those maids and sisters, but it's too late, they just hate me."
"It's just that there were young ladies protecting me at that time, and they hated it anyway, and they didn't do anything to me."
"After arriving in the capital, the wife lost her temper. She blamed the lady for running to her aunt's house so close to the wedding. The lady was reprimanded and punished for being in a bad mood. The wife asked about the dowry of the lady...and reprimanded the lady for being careless. They were all fooling around, they didn’t embroider well, and in a fit of anger, they pricked Miss’ finger with a needle.”
Speaking of this, He Jing who was sitting outside the screen opened her mouth wide.
Ms. Zhao's mother is the daughter of Marquis Changxi, the daughter of the dignified Marquis's mansion, but she is so violent that she pricks her daughter's finger with a needle?
"I was ostracized, and I'm not a servant of the Zhao family. The lady was punished by the wife, and others kept it from me. I don't know the details. The wife asked the lady to make embroidery again. I used my embroidery to slap the young lady in the face, and put all my heart and soul into pleasing the young lady, but the more careful I did, the angrier the young lady would be, and if there were a few maids and sisters who made trouble, the young lady would hate me even more."
"In those few days, I had a hard time. I didn't know why the lady was angry. I couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well on weekdays. I was always bullied by the big maids around the lady. There were so many of them, but I was born I don’t know the land well, so I really can’t get them.”
"Later, Chunying... was a second-class servant girl next to Miss. She pretended to be nice to me, and occasionally brought me some food and food. When others bullied me, she pretended to say a few words for me. Just really believe...she is a good person."
Speaking of this, Jiang Youniang choked up, obviously very sad for Chunying's betrayal.
"After more than ten days, Chun Ying told me that I couldn't stay with Miss like this any longer. Even if I married Miss to the Marquis of Qianxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't live for a few years before being tortured to death. Why don't you think about it?" Zhe stayed at Zhao's house. When she was young, her wife was outstanding at embroidery, and she liked girls who were good at needlework. She asked me to make a few embroidery samples that showed kung fu and sent them to the wife's courtyard. left behind."
"At that time... I really believed in Chunying. I believed everything she said. She brought me embroidered thread and fabric, and I made a table screen that spread out all over the place." At this point, Jiang Youniang sobbed, "I'm afraid that the patterns I made are not good enough. For the four-zhan table screen, I used what my younger brother drew before, the picture of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and embroidered it bit by bit by guarding the oil lamp at night..."
"The things have just been finished, and it's too late to send them out. Of course, they didn't intend to let me send them out. This matter was stabbed to the lady. The lady was very angry and asked me if I was very proud of my embroidery work. Are you proud of being able to read and ask me if I want to seduce my future son-in-law... I naturally have to deny that I didn't want to marry at first,
