An old lady's life

In the middle of the night, Ai Cao came out of the body space, and habitually listened to the sound outside the window, but heard the sound of rain hitting the window.

It turned out to be raining, she released her consciousness, and saw that the trees, flowers and plants outside the yard were blown to this side by the wind, and the light rain turned into a downpour in an instant.

The rain came quickly, especially with the restless temperament in the air. Ai Cao, a half-human, half-demon who had just entered the threshold of cultivation, had no way of understanding any substance in the air other than the more intense aura.

Spiritual consciousness swept around the entire Yanxi Village. Except for the wind and rain, the moon in the sky, which was already tending to be full, was already covered by thick clouds.

However, summer rains always come in a hurry. Once the rain stops, the sky will clear up in less than an hour.

After dawn, the rain did not stop, and now the boys and girls were all trapped in the house, which of course did not prevent everyone from visiting.Because Wan Miaoniang came early before, the room assigned to her was the better one, and the room assigned to Lin Nuan was the worst one. But for Lin Nuan, this house is very good, except for a bed and a dressing table. A table and a few stools are nothing else, but they are just suitable for her use. There are a lot of medicinal materials in her carriage, and she has placed all of them on the floor of the entire room.

Wan Miaoniang walked on the promenade, forcing the rain to avoid getting wet. Although the yard where she lived was not far from Lin Nuan's, it still took her a quarter of an hour to arrive at Lin Nuan's. Room.The door of the room was ajar, she knocked, and heard a figure asking her to come in.

"Miss Lin." She just pushed open the half-covered door, and saw Lin Nuan squatting on the ground with a serious face to pack the herbs, "I'll help you."

Lin Nuan pouted and shook his head: "Just sit down." After hesitating for a while, he continued, "You don't know medical skills, so I'd better clean up the medicinal materials myself. I didn't know it was raining last night until I woke up in the morning, although the medicinal materials were not covered by the rain. Get wet, or get wet by this."

Wan Miaoniang didn't force her, she sat on a stool beside her, dragged her chin and said with a smile, "I'll be back in Beijing in the afternoon, I've had enough fun this time."

"Don't be reluctant, I will come out to play when I have the chance." Lin Nuan never thought that she would not go outside the door, and her aunt also said that she would play outside every once in a while.

The two were talking, Lin Nuan packed up all the herbs, and Qing Qian brought Qing Luo back together, "Miss?" Qing Qian saw Wan Miaoniang after entering the room, "Hello, Miss Wan."

Wan Miaoniang's two servant girls were also packing up and saluting, and she made it clear that she was here, so the two servant girls did not follow.

"Girl, the old lady asked us to help the girl get the salute. I will take the old lady there today, and we can leave when the rain stops in the afternoon."

Qingqian and Qingluo each carried a bundle, and they held another bundle in their hands. Lin Nuan also held a bundle in her hand. In her bundle were the unique medical books that her master passed on to her. baby.

"Miao Niang, let's go together. We'll go find Xiaohan later."

Wan Miaoniang smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Lin." She sometimes called Lin Nuan Miss Lin and sometimes Sister Lin.

All the girls in the west were packing their luggage. Although everyone said that they were reluctant to part with it, they were not slow to pack their bags, which showed that everyone still missed their families.

In many courtyards to the east, the master lay on the bed with his legs crossed, and the servants were busy packing their bags, which of course did not apply to Shang Yong and the eight of them.

This trip is a rare vacation.Most of the brothers found the girl they liked. Although the people the younger brothers found were not the original target, no one can say anything about fate.

However, Shang Yong, who has made no progress at all, has no right to say this. Among the eight people this time, the third Shang Yong, the eighth Mo Ping, and the ninth Mu Monk returned to Beijing as usual.

Originally, I should be happy that my younger brothers have settled their lifelong affairs, but now that everyone is staying together, the atmosphere is a bit weird, and it can't be said that it is heavy.

Originally, when Hao Ding was suspicious, he planned to return to Beijing. He asked a doctor with excellent medical skills to have a look. Finally, he would talk about the results, but he didn't hold back and told his brothers in advance. He was troubled together.

Shang Yong tapped his fingers on the table, "Okay, don't look like a concubine, we will talk about everything after returning to Beijing." He looked at Hao Ding again and asked, "Eleventh, when do you not doubt this? Do you have to be suspicious at this time?"

Hao Ding scratched his head and said dejectedly: "Didn't Ms. Lin study medicine? After she diagnosed my pulse, her face was heavy, as if I had a terminal illness."

Shang Yong raised his eyebrows: "How did Ms. Lin tell it?" He didn't quite believe in Ms. Lin's medical skills. After all, medical skills always take time to accumulate. How could Ms. Lin have such superb medical skills at such a young age?

"Miss Lin looked at me with a strange face, and then I asked her if I had a terminal illness. I was joking, but she said that I can't die now, but it's not convenient to talk about it now, and I will talk about it after I return to Beijing."

The seven of Shangyong rolled their eyes in unison. Eleven is really naive, just because Miss Lin just asked for trouble, and no matter how they heard it, they felt that Miss Lin's words were a joke.

When Hao Ding heard what his brothers said, he said with a serious face, "Miss Lin can't be joking. She takes medical skills very seriously, just like we pursue the improvement of martial arts."

"Okay, Eleventh, anyway, I'm going back to Beijing in the afternoon, and I'll wait for the imperial doctor to see it." Shang Yong waved his folding fan and settled down like that, but it was related to the life and death of his younger brother, so everyone naturally took it to heart.

The heavy rain stopped after Sishi. Sure enough, less than an hour later, the sun, which was covered by the clouds all over the sky, penetrated the clouds and appeared in the sky, sparing no effort to shine. Under the sunshine after the rain, among the green mountains and green water, a rainbow stood Among the two high mountains.

Such beautiful scenery is seen by everyone, but how many literati and scholars can be aroused.

After noon, one carriage after another drove out from Yanxi Village, forming a long convoy, driving quickly on the official road. Two hours later, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the city.

When they returned to Beijing, the eight Shang Yong didn't go back to Wu's house first, they came directly to a remote alley, where lived a doctor they knew well.This doctor, surnamed Jiang, was very skilled in medicine. He took in a few apprentices and opened a pharmacy in the city. He had a good reputation near the pharmacy.

This alley is Dr. Jiang's home, so it's not as noisy as the medicine shop. He was quite surprised to see Shang Yong's seven people, but when he heard the intention, he looked serious.

"Young Master Eleven, please." Seeing a doctor is naturally a serious and sacred matter, and a doctor should take it seriously.

Shang Yong and others waited anxiously, Ying Xing went back to Wu's house to get the prescription that Hao Ding kept in the drawer left by Imperial Physician Jiang, and the meeting had not yet arrived.

However, Dr. Jiang carefully checked the pulse, and after a few steps, he still did not find any problem, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Third son, your younger brother has no problem. I don't know who the eleventh son was diagnosed with. Hidden disease? Don’t scare yourself.”

Shang Yong and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dr. Jiang's medical skills were not as good as the royal doctor in the palace, nor could he be as good as the experienced old doctor Jiang, his medical skills were obvious to all.

"Thank you, Doctor Jiang." As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Xing came back with the prescription, and Shang Yong took it, handed it to Doctor Jiang, and asked, "Please take a look, Doctor Jiang, what disease is this prescription for?"

Doctor Jiang took the prescription and carefully considered the dosage of every word and every ingredient. Fang said: "This prescription is for nourishing the body, but the dosage is very suspicious. I have never seen such a prescription."

Several people don't understand medical skills, let alone understand, Dr. Jiang thought for a long time, and said: "I have written down this prescription, third son, don't you mind if I study this prescription?"

Shang Yong nodded in agreement, the eight of them did not stay with Doctor Jiang for long, after returning to the Wu residence, they changed their clothes and put on the badges of the imperial guards, and went back to the palace together.

After returning to the palace, they joined Lou Gao and the others. The palace is much safer during the day than at night, so they have time to get together, and before they have time to communicate, the first priority is to find a familiar imperial physician in the palace to show Hao Ding look.

Lou Gao, Yu Yang, and Ji Yang also attached great importance to this matter. The imperial physicians would not treat people easily without the emperor's orders. Many of the imperial physicians were not familiar with them, and their medical skills were different. Don't think that doctors are saving lives and healing the wounded. Occupation, but tainted with power, everything is unclean, so Lou Gao and the others don't trust the Imperial Hospital. If they seek medical treatment on weekdays, they are naturally familiar with the Imperial Physician, and the Imperial Physician is not on duty.

Commander Wu knew that the apprentices would shut up in the room to discuss things when they came back, and thought it was their exchange of blind dates, but he didn't want to hear such things as soon as he came.

Commander Wu's hidden illness was prescribed by the emperor's imperial physician, and those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital could not get close to his body. Of course, he had no right to transfer the imperial physician who prescribed the prescription for him.When he thought of his own situation, his heart skipped a beat, could it be...

It wasn't until nightfall that they found the reliable imperial physician who was out on duty. This imperial physician was surnamed Miao and was over half a century old. His medical skills were not the best in imperial hospitals, but his character was indeed the best after they got to know him deeply. of.

Doctor Miao heard everyone talking about it, held the prescription, stroked his beard and frowned, and said: "It is indeed the handwriting of old doctor Jiang." After saying that, he took Hao Ding's arm and took the pulse carefully.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and said: "Hao Huwei is full of energy and blood, and his pulse beats extremely strong. Even if I check the pulse now, I can only diagnose that Hao Huwei is extremely healthy. I didn't think about it before, but now I always feel a little strange. How should I put it, Commander Wu should know too much."

Commander Wu nodded, and he frowned: "Please trouble the imperial doctor Miao to check the pulses of them one by one to see if it's the same thing."

Physician Miao nodded. Seeing patients is naturally a duty-bound task. He spent about half an hour checking the pulses of the other fourteen people one by one.

"Commander Wu, according to my diagnosis, Guard Ji and Guard Ying are as healthy as ordinary people, with sufficient energy and blood, and a strong pulse. Even if they are martial arts practitioners, their pulse is stronger than that of ordinary healthy people. It’s just a few. But Lou Huwei and the others are more or less strange, but please forgive me for my inexperience in medicine, and I can’t find the root cause of this strange place.” Doctor Miao said with a bitter face, the most embarrassing thing about being a doctor is that you can’t Find out the root cause and treat the patient.

Okay, originally it was only Hao Ding alone, but now it has become all of them, only Ji Yang and Ying Xing escaped.

"Mr. Jiang's prescription is a neutralizing prescription for nourishing the body, but the dosage is a bit strange. Please forgive me for not thinking of Mr. Jiang's intention. Dr. Jiang has rich experience in medical skills, and his medical skills are not inferior to those of Imperial Physician Tang. Unfortunately, Mrs. After the imperial physician left the palace, he stayed away from the capital and never heard from him again."

"Please keep Imperial Physician Miao confidential." Commander Wu personally sent Imperial Physician Miao out, and whispered a few words in his whisper. Imperial Physician Miao naturally understood this. He only sees a doctor and never talks too much, and he is alone, with only a child by his side. Passing on the mantle in front of others, so he has always been strong without desire.

Imperial Physician Miao left, it was his family's business to close the door, Hao Ding twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Master, did you understand what Imperial Physician Miao said?"

Now Hao Ding is fortunate that he has attracted the attention of his elder brothers because he is moaning/groaning without illness alone, but the imperial doctor found out that everyone has a problem, except fifth brother and tenth brother.

Commander Wu shook his head, it's too much to understand in other aspects, but they don't understand medicine at all.

"Anyway, I can't die for the time being. You go on duty first. What should you do? Master ask Imperial Physician Tang." You can't ask Imperial Physician Tang to treat the apprentices, he can ask about this symptom.

Hao Ding blinked: "Miss Lin also said that she can't die for the time being."

Commander Wu was very annoyed, and his apprentice was still so blank-eyed, so he glared at him: "Don't worry, I won't die." After thinking about it, he asked, "Who is Miss Lin?"

Everyone who had already got up and was about to leave stepped back, and after hearing the diagnosis of the doctor Miao, they became less nervous, and those who knew it all turned their attention to Lou Gao.

"Look at what your elder brother is doing? Eleven said it himself." Commander Wu raised his eyebrows, glanced around, and his eyes fell on apprentice Eleven.

"The girl from the Lin family who came from Suzhou, who came to see the old lady and Mrs. Lin, happened to meet each other at Yanxi Village." Hao Ding didn't hide this, and he will definitely go to the Lin family to ask Miss Lin during the next break. I understand, "She fell in love with eldest brother at first sight!"

After quickly finishing the last sentence, Hao Ding shut up immediately, and Commander Wu's gaze fell on the eldest disciple and the disciple who came back first with a half-smile.

"Okay, your wings are stiff, and you still want to hide it from Master? Hehe, no wonder you have something wrong after you come back."

Commander Wu's words immediately made everyone's eyes fall on Lou Gao. The corners of Lou Gao's mouth twitched. Before he could speak, Hao Ding told him everything he should know.

Lou Gao once again accepted the baptism of everyone's eyes, then pushed open the door and left, and quickly disappeared into the night.

In the room, Commander Wu's gaze finally fell on Hao Ding, "You definitely won't say it out of nowhere, what's your idea?"

Hao Ding scratched his head: "Don't underestimate Ms. Lin, she should be very good at medicine, I plan to find some time to ask her what's going on, even if I die, I have to die to understand."

Commander Wu nodded: "Okay, you can handle it yourself." Walking out of the house, facing the starry sky, a cool wind blew by, and Commander Wu frowned severely.

He didn't delay, and ran directly to the residence of Tang Yuyi. Both the emperor and Tang Yuyi knew about his physical condition, so the emperor would not doubt his intention to seek Tang Yuyi.

Tang imperial doctor is still preparing medicine, he is experimenting with new prescriptions, as the imperial physician of the emperor, no one else can invite him, so he has a lot of time to study medical skills, so his medical skills can surpass the imperial hospital.

"Old Tang, I want to ask you something, which is the field you are most proficient in." Commander Wu said directly without beating around the bush.

Tang Yuyi didn't raise his head, stared at the medical book, scrutinized the prescription carefully, and said, "I know your body perfectly, so you came here for someone else?"

Commander Wu nodded and talked about what happened just now. He memorized the diagnosis results of Imperial Physician Miao almost verbatim.

Tang Yuyi put down the pounding pestle in his hand, and said without thinking: "Is it too late? I think it should be similar to your situation, but you were already quite old when you entered the Imperial Guard, and your bones were also weak when you practiced martial arts. It has already fully developed, and the current situation is completely caused by your own recklessness. The body has been injured too much. One injury has not healed, and you are injured again, and the cycle repeats. The hidden injuries on your body are difficult to heal, and now they have become stubborn. It is a bit troublesome to cure the disease."

Commander Wu's heart skipped a beat, and Imperial Physician Tang continued: "There is another situation, that is, you started practicing martial arts at a very young age, but your body has not matured, you have practiced martial arts too much, and you have not received good care. It looks like you are in good health, but in fact The internal bones and flesh of the body are overdeveloped early, and this situation is an overdraft of life. The lighter body will start to decline after the age of 40, and it will die in just a few years, and the heavier one will appear after the age of 30. conditions, and die more quickly."

Commander Wu's face turned pale, and Tang Yuyi glanced at him: "This situation can only be recuperated with good medicine, and try to make up for the overdrawn lives. If your apprentices are in this situation, you can take advantage of them while they are still young. It's not too late for recuperation, and the medicinal materials are not necessarily the most expensive, but you also understand that this is a long-term thing, and it will take several years to get the effect, but the responsibility of Lou Guards and the others is sometimes thousands of miles away from the capital..." Tang Yu The doctor shook his head.

"It's difficult for ordinary doctors to diagnose. Few in Taiyuan Hospital can diagnose it. When they take the pulse, they will only feel that the person is extremely healthy. The prescription of old doctor Jiang should be suitable for Hao Huwei. Lou Wei and the others are afraid The dosage has to be considered separately." Tang Yuyi frowned, he couldn't treat others without the emperor's words.

He looked at Fang Zi carefully, and said: "This prescription focuses on Qi and blood. Go back and ask your apprentice if every time he is injured, he stops bleeding quickly and recovers Qi and blood very quickly?"

Commander Wu wiped his face and said solemnly: "Indeed, when Xu Guangzhi's incident happened, he went to Beijing alone, and was intercepted and killed on the way, with numerous sword wounds on his body. In the afternoon, except for the wound not healed, his blood recovered quickly, and I thought it was because he ate well and drank well at the Lin family and was always in good health."

The imperial doctor of the Tang Dynasty understood it clearly: "If you want to take it, you must first give it. In fact, it is the same truth. From birth to death, people go from prosperity to decline. Your apprentices are only 20 years ahead of schedule."

Commander Wu looked eagerly at Imperial Physician Tang, "Old Tang, what should we do? Since you know so well, you can definitely cure them."

Tang Yuyi patted Commander Wu on the shoulder, stopped making medicine, and said directly: "I have no problem seeing a doctor, the most important thing is to ask the emperor's permission."

Commander Wu frowned, and said with a heavy heart: "Okay, I'll discuss it with my apprentices." Otherwise, I would take this opportunity to transfer my apprentices out of the guards, but if they left the guards, would others let them go?But telling the emperor, asking the emperor to agree to see a doctor from Tang imperial doctor, is equivalent to telling the emperor that the most trusted guards around him are all sick. No matter how much the emperor trusts them, he will have other considerations. A series of changes took place.

Jia Min had already received the news, so she had someone tidy up a yard early. It was in Qiuxi Garden not far from Huifang Hospital. She heard that her cousin liked medicine, so this yard should be enough for her to order.

Because Ai Cao and the others' team moved slowly, it was already sunset when the carriage stopped at Lin's house, and today Lin Hai came back from the yamen early to welcome his mother who was having fun outside.

When her mother got off the carriage, Lin Hai and Jia Min went up to meet her, helped her arms from left to right and got out of the car, and said with a smile, "Mother has worked hard." Thinking of Hao Huwei and his mother who have been with their mother for many days, Lin Hai couldn't help it. Live sour.

Lin Nuan didn't need anyone to support her, and jumped off the carriage directly. She still knew the rules on the outside, and saluted: "Cousin, sister-in-law."

Jia Min smiled all over her face: "This is Nuan Nuan. It's really as good as my mother said. There are no outsiders, Nuan Nuan doesn't have to be so unfamiliar, just call me sister-in-law. Tang sister-in-law is too formal."

Ai Cao also smiled and said: "Okay, what does it sound like to be stuck at the door? Go into the house and talk." Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are almost natural enemies. His mother and wife have a very good relationship and often ignore him!

The journey was not delayed. Lin Hai and his wife sent their mother back to the Huifang Courtyard directly, and asked her to rectify it. Then, Lin Nuan's arrangement was handed over to Jia Min. Lin Hai stayed with Huifang Courtyard, planning to wait for her mother to come out. Talk to mother, otherwise he will become more and more unable to intervene later.

Jia Min personally took Lin Nuan to settle in Qiuxi Garden, told her how to use the various furniture in the house, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will ask Xiu Niang to make new clothes for you. Pretty clothes look even better."

Lin Nuan tilted her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law is also very good-looking, she's only a little shorter than me in looks, but I can't keep up with her temperament."

Jia Min couldn't help laughing: "Nuan Nuan is so cute, but you have a spirituality that we don't have. If you gain something, you lose it. Don't be envious of Nuan Nuan."

Lin Nuan felt that what sister-in-law said was reasonable, "Sister-in-law, I like you."

Ai Cao naturally sent someone to send a letter to Jia Min in advance, informing her of Lin Nuan's situation, so Jia Min did not dislike this sudden sister-in-law.

Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled delicately. She had already assigned four maids in Qiuxi Garden, and she asked Lin Nuan to recognize her again. She didn't leave until she felt that it was almost done, and Lin Nuan stayed in Qiuxi Garden to take care of her things.

When Jia Min returned to Huifang Courtyard, he saw Lin Hai and her mother-in-law talking. The mother and son had similar eyebrows and almost the same smile, which made Jia Min very happy.

"Min'er is back, how is it?" Seeing Jia Min, Ai Cao patted the seat beside her and asked her to sit down.

Jia Min bowed before sitting down: "Mother, don't worry, I've settled Nuannuan, let her get acquainted in Qiuxi Garden by herself, and I'll call her later when I have dinner."

Lin Hai really wanted to know what the outcome of his mother's trip was, so he usually asked her to tell interesting stories about Yanxi Village, so that he could gradually understand how her mother came here these days.

Jia Min couldn't help laughing inwardly again, her husband was too pretending, but her mother-in-law didn't notice it at all.In fact, it was true that Ai Cao really didn't notice Lin Hai's inner thoughts, and only thought that he cared about her as a mother.
