The return of the son-in-law

The concierge has always been afraid and respectful of Guo Zhan'an, when he saw the servants in Guo Zhan'an's yard running all the way over, he gasped out of breath and said that Master Huo Yu fell into the water in the yard, so he should quickly ask the doctor to take a look. Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly opened the door and let the two young men go out to invite the doctor.

Fortunately, this is the capital city, there are many rich and noble families, who can guarantee that everyone who gets sick during the day will be fine at night?Therefore, there are always two or three clinics open all night in several blocks in the capital where the residences of senior officials from aristocratic families gather.

It just so happened that two streets away from the Guo Mansion was a clinic guarded by a doctor at night.When the two servants led the doctor back to the Guo Mansion, they ran into soldiers patrolling the curfew.Because it was in one block, the soldiers on curfew patrol simply checked the identities of the three people and let them go.

When the doctor came, he heard Jia Huan's angry voice in the courtyard: "What happened! No one came to tell me about such a big thing!"

Fuquan explained: "It's not about your deep sleep. I've already sent someone to invite the doctor, and I'll let someone watch over the second young master's side, so that nothing will happen."

Jia Huan reprimanded him all the time: "There will be no accidents in custody? You sent someone out at night to invite the doctor, and it is clear that something serious has happened! The concierge will really hide it for you and not tell the wife in charge? Don't say that the young master is not here. Even if the young master comes forward, they have to find the wife! I'm afraid that the wife will come to make trouble at dawn."

When Fuquan heard this, cold sweat ran down his back. He usually followed Huo Yu, so he was not as experienced as Jia Huan in handling these matters.Hearing Jia Huan's words now, he couldn't help feeling panicked: "What should I do?"

In fact, Fuquan had already scolded himself bloody in his heart - if he had been more alert when he slept at night, how could he have let Huo Yu fall into the pond to save others?

When he was still with Guo Zhanan in the early years, Fuquan always put half his mind on sleeping at night, lest Guo Zhanan call him to pour tea or something at night.But ever since he followed Huo Yu, because Huo Yu didn't like to be served when he was sleeping, even if he had to do something in the middle of the night, he could solve it secretly by himself, so Fuquan gradually changed this habit.Especially after Huo Yu and Guo Zhanan lived in the same room, Fuquan would knock on the door when he heard noises in the middle of the night at first, but Guo Zhanan always asked him to avoid him.

This night, Fuquan had nothing to do with him at all, so Fuquan slept more comfortably now.

It's been almost two years since he was comfortable, but now Fuquan has tasted the bad results.

Fortunately, Jia Huan was still there, so he quickly thought of a countermeasure, and said: "Find two people first, and when the curfew is over and the city gate is opened, immediately go to the village in the suburbs to find the young master, please come back quickly. The second young master's Boys, please watch carefully, give him whatever he wants, absolutely don’t do anything to him, lest someone will make use of it in the future. And Master Huo Yu, add some more charcoal. Where is the doctor? Why hasn’t the doctor come yet?”

The servant who went out to invite the doctor heard this, and hurriedly led the doctor to trot in: "The doctor is here, butler Jia, the doctor is here."

Jia Huan rushed up to meet him and said, "Your work is hard, please come in and take a look for my young master."

Inviting him to come to see a doctor in the middle of the night must be because of an emergency, and the doctor was unambiguous, directly carrying the medicine box and leading the apprentice into the house.

Huo Yu soaked in the icy pond for a long time. Although he was still awake, he inevitably developed a high fever, his cheeks were also very red, and he coughed badly.

The doctor checked the pulse, looked carefully at Huo Yu's tongue coating, and said: "This young man has cold air entering his body, I will prescribe a prescription first, drink a bowl of it thickly, sweat all over, and drive away the cold air. "

Jia Huan was worried that it would take too long to collect and boil the medicine, so he asked, "Doctor, is ginger soup okay?"

The doctor nodded and said: "Ginger soup is also acceptable, but this young man's body is relatively weak and he has a high fever, so ginger soup may be too strong for him. In this way, I happen to have a regular supply in my medicine chest. A few flavors of medicine, boiled with ginger soup, drink a big bowl."

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Doctor Lao is here. There is ginger soup in the kitchen, so I will let them cook it again immediately."

The doctor didn't talk too much, and asked his apprentice to open the medicine box he was carrying, which contained many common medicinal materials.The amount of these medicinal materials is not much, it seems that they are prepared for emergencies.

The doctor took the medicine, weighed it and handed it to Jia Huan.Jia Huan handed it to Fuquan casually, and said, "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to cook new ginger soup."

Here the doctor prescribed another prescription and handed it to Jia Huan: "This prescription is to be taken after the fever subsides. I think the pulse condition of this young man is a little weak, but it may be the root cause of the disease since childhood. Exercise frequently, but internal supplements are equally important. If possible, you might as well invite a doctor from Zhongcao Hall for this young master, they are the best at conditioning the body."

Jia Huan took the prescription, carefully put it in a pocket in his sleeve, and asked, "Doctor, when will my son's fever go away?"

"You don't have to worry." The doctor said, "Although this son has suffered from illnesses since he was a child, he must have exercised specially in the past few years. Drink a bowl of thick ginger soup, cover some more quilts, and sweat all over. The fever will subside when you wake up in the next day. But during this time, you should take good care of your body and try not to go out, so as not to catch a cold and relapse."

Jia Huan responded, and said: "Doctor, in fact, there is another young master who fell into the water in the next room. I ask the doctor to move to the next room and take a look for that young gentleman."

Lang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then go and have a look."

The situation of Guo Feng'an in the next room is much better than that of Huo Yu.

Huo Yu had a high fever, and his eyelids were heavy. If everyone hadn't been worried about what would happen when he fell asleep, and kept calling his name, he would have fallen asleep a long time ago.

As for Guo Feng'an, although he is not very lively, he is full of air when he speaks, because someone is guarding him, so he can't go out, and the servant has Jia Huan's order, and everyone else in the room is blocking Guo Feng'an from beating him. The boy vented his anger, so when Lang Zhong entered, Guo Feng'an was smashing all kinds of decorations to vent his anger.

Jia Huan looked at the mess and said calmly, "Second Young Master, the doctor is here."

"Okay, Jia Huan!" Seeing Jia Huan, Guo Feng'an felt that he had finally found someone to vent his anger on, and walked towards Jia Huan aggressively, "What do you mean? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Jia Huan was very disdainful in his heart, but on his face he said with an apologetic smile: "What about the second young master? The second young master fell into the water in the young master's yard, but the young master is not there, and there is not even a caller in the yard. In case the second young master has something wrong , then what should I do? I can’t help it. What if the second young master just went out like this and caught a cold again? No, the doctor is here. Second young master, let the doctor show you. You are still young , if the root cause of the disease falls, it will be bad."

Guo Feng'an tugged at the ill-fitting clothes on his body, and said, "Isn't this considered house arrest? You stripped off all my clothes and didn't let me go out. This is nothing but house arrest! Let me tell you, I can't Don’t want the doctor you invited to treat me! My mother said, the people in this yard wish me to die immediately! Who knows whether you invited a doctor or a killer! Get out of the way! I’m going to find my mother!”

"Hey, second young master, please spare me. If you don't let the doctor look at the water you fell in the young master's yard, I will let you go. How can I explain to the young master when the young master comes back?"

Thinking of Guo Zhan'an who was at odds with his mother, Guo Feng'an's heart trembled, and he stopped making trouble, obediently sat down and asked the doctor to diagnose his pulse.

The doctor observed his words and expressions, and knew that Guo Feng'an was the real young master in Guo's mansion, and the "Master Huo Yu" he had seen earlier should be a good friend of the owner of this yard.

He didn't know whether to lament that the people in Guo's mansion are more polite, or lament that the second young master's status is not as good as that of "Master Huo Yu".

As a doctor, he naturally would not treat these two people differently.After the pulse diagnosis, the doctor also prescribed a prescription as usual, and handed it to Jia Huan: "Although this young man has no fever, the dampness and cold in his body have been unable to be excreted. Please follow this prescription to get the medicine, boil three bowls of water into a small bowl , take it three times a day, and nothing will happen after five days."

Before Jia Huan even had time to reach out to pick it up, Guo Fengan snatched it away, glared at Jia Huan and shouted, "It's none of your business!"

Jia Huan has been with Guo Zhan'an for many years, and even the third prince Li Shaojun didn't lose his temper at him like Guo Feng'an.After being yelled at by Guo Feng'an, Jia Huan lost the interest in continuing to serve her, and said, "It's freezing cold at night, why don't you stay in this room for the second young master, and send you back tomorrow morning, but good?"

Guo Feng'an opened the window, and sure enough a huge cold wind blew in, making him shiver involuntarily.The servant at the side was quite clever, so he quickly closed the window and persuaded: "Master, why not just rest here for the night, the dew will freeze at night, it will be bad if you fall."

Guo Feng'an had been convinced for a long time, but he still turned his head and shouted: "Hurry up and add some charcoal, I'm going to freeze to death!"

Jia Huan turned around, curled his lips in disdain, called for someone to add charcoal, and asked the kitchen to bring over two bowls of ginger soup—no matter how disdainful, superficial work must be done.

Early the next morning, Liu Pianpian got the news and personally led a large group of people to pick up Guo Feng'an.

Seeing Guo Fengan's ruddy complexion, Liu Pianpian burst into tears: "Good boy, you have suffered."

Guo Feng'an watched his mother cry in her arms, although he didn't know why, but thinking that every time he "suffered", there would always be benefits, so he simply started crying along with him.

Jia Huan watched from the side, his face was very ugly, but he could only persuade: "Ma'am, there are so many people here..."

Liu Pianpian rolled his eyes at him, pretended to wipe away the tears that didn't exist, and said: "My good boy, you have suffered, mother will take you back."

Guo Feng'an was thinking about what "benefits" he would ask for when he went back, so he was naturally happy to hear what Liu Pianpian said.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Jia Huan gradually became more and more uneasy. He called a servant in the courtyard and asked, "When did the person sent to inform the young master leave?"

The young man thought for a while and said, "I left as soon as the curfew was lifted, and I went on a horse."

Jia Huan still couldn't let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and could only hope that his young master would come back soon.

But after more than half an hour, Jia Huan's uneasiness came to fruition.

He looked at the serious butler in front of him, and asked tentatively, "Is the butler here to joke?"

The butler put on a cold face: "Who is joking with you? Master ordered Master Huo Yu to leave the Guo Mansion immediately. You can stay in any inn you want, and the Guo family is willing to pay the money."

"Well," Jia Huan said determinedly to delay the time, "Master Huo Yu is a guest of the Eldest Young Master, and now the Eldest Young Master is not at home, should we wait for the Eldest Young Master to come back?"

The butler looked at Jia Huan coldly, and said: "This is the master's order, let Young Master Huo Yu leave immediately. I have already prepared the carriage, and Young Master Huo Yu can choose any inn in the capital."

Jia Huan was anxious in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She continued to circle around with the big housekeeper, and asked again: "There is a reason for asking Young Master Huo Yu to leave. Otherwise, when the young master came back, he would see his brother-in-law disappear." Now, how do we explain to the young master?"

The butler was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jia Huan, so he gave the reason straightforwardly: "The master said, Young Master Huo Yu is wearing a filial piety, and I am afraid that he will be at odds with the Guo family. The second young master fell into the water last night and was frightened, and he has not healed until now. Jia Huan, if you don't invite Master Huo Yu to leave, then let me invite you."

Jia Huan scolded both Liu Pianpian and Guo Feng'an in her heart, why was she frightened, there was a lot of trouble last night!In the middle of the night, he had to ask the kitchen staff to make him beef stew with potatoes. If there was no beef, he would eat steamed potatoes.

Jia Huan would never let Huo Yu leave, among other things, Guo Zhan'an would be able to skin him when he came back.He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the big steward, and said with a smile: "I understand, but after all, Young Master Huo Yu is a guest, so you can't let him have no time to pack up, right? So, give me an hour, an hour Afterwards, I will personally send Young Master Huo Yu away, okay?"

The butler stared at Jia Huan for a long time, and finally spit out a number: "Half an hour."

Half an hour is not enough for Guo Zhanan to come back!

Jia Huan insisted this time: "An hour, it must be an hour. This young master Huo Yu has quite a lot of luggage, and he has taken it out in the past two days, so we have to find it one by one."

The big butler thought, Master Left and Right only told Huo Yu to move out today, half an hour earlier and half an hour later will not affect anything.As the chief housekeeper, he still has a lot of things to take care of. He didn't have time to argue with Jia Huan here, so he agreed to Jia Huan's request: "An hour. After an hour, if Master Huo Yu still doesn't leave, then the I personally asked Young Master Huo Yu to leave."

"Sure, I'll take care of things, don't worry." Jia Huan patted his chest and sent the butler out.
