honey doctor

Chapter 5

Seeing Mou Yi walking out of the courtyard with two servants, the carriage also left.Granny Wu's complexion improved a bit. Sitting on the kang, she beat her sore legs while staring at Su Yuan who was standing by the window, and said angrily, "Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?"

Su Yuan smirked, and hurried forward to please Granny Wu to change into a homely coarse dress, "Grandma, I think there is meat in the Mou family's thank you gift, why don't I cook for a while, okay?"

"You girl...why do you have a greedy mind!" Granny Wu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, she didn't know whether she should be grateful or angry.If it were any other young girl who was offered to be bought to be a concubine face to face, she would have been so ashamed that she would have jumped into the river to commit suicide, but this girl was fine, the big things are not as important as a piece of meat.

"Succeed, stew!" Granny Wu was powerless to complain, and could only sigh: "It is said that stupid people have stupid blessings. You'd better marry a butcher in the future, so that you will never be short of mouth in your life."

"Okay, I'll marry a butcher, and I'll bring you a big piece of meat when I come back to see my mother-in-law."

The old and the young smiled and went to the main room to take care of the gifts. The Mou family was rich, and Mou Yi also thanked him sincerely. The thank you gifts were even richer than previously guessed. The brightly colored ones, the two dignified and dignified ones, obviously catered for the needs of the Wu family, old and young.

In addition, there are four boxes of high-quality dim sum, two boxes of tea, a carp, and half a fan of pork.

Su Yuan was so happy that she circled around, her saliva almost flowed out. What could make a foodie sadder than not being able to eat meat?

Wu's family is poor, and her mother-in-law relies on diagnosis and treatment of minor ailments, so she can barely make ends meet. Naturally, her diet is mainly "light". Su Yuan's eyes are almost green with greed these days. Now that there are big fish and big meat, she can't wait to laugh up to the sky Three times, my heart naturally has a little more affection for the generous Erye Mou.

Granny Wu couldn't bear to see her strange appearance, so she waved her hand to chase people away, "Fish and meat, you can do whatever you want. I'll go and put away the silk and satin. It's hot weather, and it's time to cut two new dresses for you."

Su Yuan has always thought that she is not a beautiful woman, and she doesn't care about her clothes. Hearing this, she immediately picked up the fish basket and carried the pork and ran to the kitchen, causing Granny Wu to stare at her oily dress. , Finally couldn't help but also laughed.

Living with this weird girl, I really can't enjoy it.

Thanks to the Mou family’s thank you gift, the Wu family’s dinner table was unprecedentedly rich that day. A big braised fish was lying in a black pottery pot, poured with sauce-colored soup, with a few green onions scattered on the surface. The braised pork in the casserole is overcooked, shining with oily light. When you lower your head and smell it, it is fragrant.And the most tender wild vegetables on the mountain are also washed clean, and served with fried meat sauce, even if it is the only plain color on the table.

Su Yuan finally opened meat, shaking her head with joy while eating, and sometimes she didn't forget to pick fish bones for her mother-in-law, she was very busy.

Granny Wu was also delighted, and from time to time put meat into the Su Yuan bowl. Although the dinner table for the old and the young was not lively, it was extremely warm.

After the meal, Su Yuan packed the dishes with her chubby belly, and then lay on her mother-in-law's lap, refusing to move.

Granny Wu was shaking off a piece of brocade, thinking about cutting it for needlework, she quickly pushed her aside, and said angrily, "Lazy girl, go away, you are not afraid of being stuck by the needle!"

"Hey," Su Yuan approached again with a grin, and asked, "Grandma, the leftover pork can be pickled in salt jars. But those carps will definitely suffocate if they are left for nothing. It would be a pity to make them into salted fish. Why not?" Send a few to the neighbors in the village."

Granny Wu nodded when she heard this, and said in a rare compliment: "You are a sensible girl. You will give one to Mrs. Liu next door, one to the leftover dog's house in the front yard, and two to Lizheng's house. During the days you have been here , they are considered to be very caring, and it is right to share some food, so you just go there and recognize the door."

Su Yuan thought about these neighbors, and they were really warm and friendly when they met on weekdays, so she agreed, "Okay, mother-in-law, I'll go right away. If it's late, the carp will suffocate, so it's not easy to give it away. "

After talking, Su Yuan went out.Sure enough, the three neighbors were very happy to pick up the carp, and invited her to drink tea and gossip.

Su Yuan has studied child care and maternal and child health care for several years, and when she came to this time and space, she also revolved around children's illnesses, so as not to contract some occupational diseases. When talking about the children of the three families, she would just give a few pointers.

It seemed to her that it was a very simple matter, but she forgot that there are very few doctors in this time and space, especially the pediatrics department. Every kind of courtesy.

The three families were very grateful, and thanked her again and again, and the wife of Lizheng's family even asked her if she had rejected her marriage, as if to turn her into her own family.

Su Yuan almost ran away, and when she returned home she talked to Granny Wu, but Granny Wu didn't blame her, she just sent her to bed early.

Don't you know, while Granny Wu was doing needlework, she was troubled.

She also asked about Su Yuan's age, she could almost be regarded as an old girl, and the fact of marriage was imminent, otherwise she would be pointed out and criticized.

But what kind of in-law's family to choose was really embarrassing for her. Although the people in the village were close to her, they felt a little wronged by this good girl.If they were from the city, and they were afraid that they would not take their small family seriously, Su Yuan would suffer even more if she married her.

In a dilemma, Granny Wu couldn't help but think of the second master of the Mou family again, so she sighed even more heavily.Su Yuan on the side didn't know what Granny Wu was thinking, she slept extremely soundly, and even snored slightly, causing Granny Wu to cover her with a quilt, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

Mou Yi was in a good mood all the way back to the county seat, but unfortunately this good mood only lasted for a while.

In the small flower pavilion where Mrs. Mou lived, there were the couple Mou An in the third room.

On the contrary, the third grandmother, Pang's eyeballs were rolling around, seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, she inquired: "Mother-in-law, I heard that the family invited a doctor to see Brother Kun today. I don't know what prescription was prescribed. Brother Kun drinks But it works?"

Mrs. Mou thought of the doctor woman who contradicted her, and her complexion became a little bad, and she responded lightly: "I don't see anything for now, it will take three to five days."

Mrs. Pang misunderstood that Mrs. Mou's bad complexion was because Brother Kun's illness was not curable, so she immediately wiped her tears in a fake manner.

"Poor Brother Kun, he has been taking medicine since he was born. Look at my three Ming brothers, who are as strong as calves. Tell me, the three of them have the same vigor in life as Brother Kun." Well, this way Brother Kun can live for two more years. Even if my eldest brother and sister-in-law miss their son in Jiuquan, they must be looking forward to Brother Kun's reunion later..."

"To shut up!"

Mou Yi was annoyed when he heard the words outside the door. Even though he said these words in the name of feeling sorry for Brother Kun, but he said it one by one, it was obviously cursed that Brother Kun died early, it was extremely vicious.

Hearing the scolding, Pond's was a little annoyed, but when he turned his head and saw that it was his second uncle, he immediately shrunk his neck.No matter how much the husband and wife have plotted in private, Mou Yi's position as the earl now belongs to Mou Yi, and Ding You was the commander of the guards in the palace before. Regardless of his usual easy-going words and actions, it is really scary to get angry.

Three years ago, a little maid who served Brother Kun had rumored in private that Brother Kun had killed his parents, and he ordered him to stick him to death in the end. The screams scared her into nightmares for several nights.

Mou An glared at the inappropriate daughter-in-law, and hurriedly got up to salute, "Second brother, where did you call back? Pond has always been stupid, so don't be as knowledgeable as her. She also cares about Brother Kun and hopes that he will be well." Woolen cloth."

Mou Yi frowned, waved his hands, and snorted noncommittally.

Pond's lip curled secretly, but he didn't dare to speak any more.

On the contrary, Mou An said cheekily: "Mother's yard is a little too deserted, and Brother Kun doesn't have any playmates on weekdays. Why don't I send Brother Ming and the others over tomorrow for a few lively days?"

Mrs. Pond was reluctant to leave the child, but wanted her son to show his face in front of his mother-in-law. In case of being loved by his mother-in-law, he would be adopted under the name of the dead eldest couple or the still unmarried second child. It justifiably became the world of their family.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly agreed, "Brother Ming is a good boy. He usually talks about his elder brother's pity, and wants to come and play with him."

Mrs. Mou really didn't want to see the concubine and his wife, but she was polite on the face, and she didn't want to be too harsh, but she still didn't want to let three mischievous boys come and disturb her grandson's recuperation, so she said: "No need, Brother Ming and the others are too naughty, Brother Kun might not be able to stop them from making a fuss."

When Mrs. Pond heard that her son was rejected, she blurted out and retorted: "Brother Kun is full of sickness, and we didn't dislike him..."

In the middle of speaking, seeing her mother-in-law's face turned dark instantly, she finally stopped talking wisely, and said awkwardly: "Uh, mother-in-law said no, then don't."

Mou An secretly hated his mother-in-law for not being up to date, and was afraid that she would make her aunt more angry if she sat down again, so she hurriedly said a few gossips before leaving.

Old Madam Mou was so angry that she drank half a bowl of warm tea, and said angrily, "If I didn't want to honor your father's filial piety, I'd drive them back to the capital tomorrow!"

Mou Yi also frowned. He didn't like this concubine brother since he was a child, but his father told him to take care of him before he passed away, especially now that the eldest brother died young, and there were only two brothers left in the Mou family, who had the same blood, even if there were more or less. Hey, he can only endure.That's why he still didn't confront his brother-in-law even though he knew that the income account of the shop at home was wrong.

Of course, he wasn't going to talk about these trivial matters with his mother, after all, his sick nephew had made his mother worry so much.

The old nanny who had been serving Mrs. Mou felt that she had waited for a good opportunity, and interjected: "The third master and the third mistress have never seen how they take care of the young master. It is a bit strange to come to visit now. I walked by the day before yesterday. In the accountant in the front yard, I heard a few gossips. It seems that the income of the shop managed by the third master has been reduced by more than half. I heard that the shopkeeper of that shop even gave his daughter to the third master as a concubine..."

"What, what else is there?" Sure enough, Mrs. Mou's eyes widened upon hearing this.Her temper is a bit gentle, but now that the old lord has passed away, her son Ding You and her grandson are sick, and the whole family is counting on those ancestral properties. Now that she hears that the concubine is guarding herself and stealing herself, how can she not be angry?

"Second, is there such a thing?"

Mou Yi looked at the old nanny with a chill in his eyes, but the old nanny seemed to be too excited, she lowered her head to think about something, she didn't realize that she had made a big mistake, and said while the iron was hot: "Old lady, this is not just the second master I'm afraid a lot of people in the mansion know about it. Look at the golden hairpin on the third grandma's hair in the past few months. It fell off even when she was walking. It stands to reason why they are so crazy in a side room, isn't it because they gave birth? Brother Ming, three boys? I want the old slave to tell me, even if the second master doesn’t want to marry the second mistress, it’s better to take a concubine first, and when a few young masters come out, the third master’s family will be honest if they have no more thoughts. "

Mou Yi sneered when he heard this, and said without waiting for his mother to respond: "Then according to Mammy's intention, who should I take as my concubine? Mammy must have a good candidate, right?"

The old mother was startled when she heard it, and seeing the master's expression was as cold as ice, she finally realized that something was wrong.But now that the arrow is on the line, she can only bite the bullet and say: "Well, Second Master, this old slave is also thinking about you and the old lady. As long as the Second Master has an heir, the house will naturally be safe. Let me tell you the truth about the old lady and the second master." , this old slave's granddaughter, Cuiping, is eighteen this year. She usually works as an errand in the sewing room. Her craftsmanship is excellent. The old lady also praised her for her ingenuity. If..."

"Oh, it turns out that Mammy still has such a good granddaughter who has never married? It just so happens that Wenmo in the study outside the Earl's Mansion in Kyoto has also reached the age of marrying a wife. Why don't mothers give a dowry and let the two of them get married? I heard that Mammy My health is also not good recently, why don't mother let the nanny rest for a few months, and then go back to the Earl's Mansion to make arrangements for the granddaughter's marriage, how about it?"

Mou Yi said indifferently, as if he was asking his mother's opinion, but everyone knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the old mother would leave.

The two maidservants waiting at the door looked at each other with joy, wishing they could clap their hands and applaud.Thanks to the time spent serving the old lady by the old lady's side, they were often scolded and bullied by the old lady on weekdays, but now that the second master took action, they finally made it through.

The old mama's face turned black when she heard it. She had thought that this matter might not be possible, but she thought that the second master would always look at the old lady's face and give her a slack. Ban Guojue was ruthless, not only assigned Cuiping to be a servant in the study, but even drove her back to the capital.

You know, although the capital is more prosperous than Wanshi City, she can't serve her master as a slave. Even if the master returns three years later, she will definitely not trust her as much as she is now, and maybe she will never have the opportunity to serve her closely , wouldn't her past dignity be in vain? !

"Second Master, this old slave is wrong! Second Master, this old slave is guilty!" The more the old mama thought about it, the more she regretted and became more afraid. The old slave is guilty of the matter in the house! But the old slave is also loyal, you can beat the old slave and scold the old slave, but don’t drive the old slave away. The old slave is gone, who will take care of the old lady..."

Mou Yi was unmoved, and waved his hand: "Don't say too much, you can pack your luggage and go back to the capital. The huge Mou Mansion does not lack a few servants to serve the master."

The old mother gritted her teeth with hatred, and changed her mind knowing that the road was blocked, and then knelt at the feet of Mrs. Mou, crying and begging: "Old lady, please say a few words of love for this old slave, this old slave can't bear you! "

I don't think she made a wrong calculation. For Mrs. Mou who lost her husband and eldest son, what is more important than her only son, no matter how reluctant she is, she will not easily embarrass her son, let alone selfishness Heavy old nanny.

"You don't have to be like this. Go back to the capital and take good care of your body. Remember to go to the cashier to get 100 taels of silver, and I will add makeup to Cuiping."

The old mammy couldn't bear the disappointment any longer, and burst into tears.

The two maidservants looked very winkingly, and hurried forward, half persuading and half procrastinating, tossing her out.

Mou Yi was afraid that his mother would offend the people around him, so he went up to sit with his mother for a while, then changed the subject to ask Brother Kun how he was doing after taking the medicine, and then talked about the details that Su Yuan had instructed.

Sure enough, when it came to the baby's grandson, Mrs. Mou put aside even a little dissatisfaction in her heart. After listening carefully, she couldn't help but praise: "Miss Su is really good."

Mou Yi remembered the grimace at the time of parting, and couldn't help laughing: "The most rare thing about Miss Su is her generosity, she is a kind person, and people can't help but get close to her when they see her. Brother Kun usually doesn't talk much, but at the same time Miss Su also had a great time."

Mrs. Mou moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

The mother and son chatted a few more gossips, and finally went to visit Brother Kun together. I wondered if the medicinal soup had helped, or it was because of the fresh air in the room. The three generations talked for a long time, but Brother Kun didn't care. Coughed a few times, and even played with the grandmother on the red rope, so happy that Mrs. Mou almost shed tears again.

Xu is thinking day by day and dreaming at night. This night, Mrs. Mou, who was full of worries, fell asleep under the service of the maid and had a dream.

In the dream, the entire Mou family was decorated with red makeup, as if she was celebrating her birthday, and her grandson had grown into a handsome young man, not only in good health but also practiced martial arts.And the second son also got married and gave birth to five or six children. The mother of the child was arranging the clothes for the child, but when she looked up, she was startled. It was Miss Su whom she had seen during the day!

She still had the same white, fat and rich appearance, but when she smiled, she was even more joyful, as if her whole body was glowing, and finally she slowly floated up and turned into the appearance of the Mercy Empress, hanging in mid-air and laughing at her non-stop.

She was so startled that she accidentally knocked over the teacup in her hand, and the crisp voice brought her back from her dream, and she sat up suddenly.

Liuyun, the big maid who was sleeping on the footsteps to watch the night, hurriedly got up when she heard the sound, and came to her in a daze and asked, "Madam, are you thirsty?"

Mrs. Mou waved her hand, she was still thinking about her dream for a long time, and finally ordered in a low voice: "Tomorrow morning, go and invite Lu Daopo from the east of the city."

Liuyun was puzzled when he heard that Lu Daopo was an old Taoist nun, and she didn't often chant Buddha in the nunnery, but often went to the yards of various high-ranking families, sometimes explaining Buddhism and spending some incense and money, and sometimes she also helped the mistresses of various families. Asking for information, such as which girl or son's temperament, is actually a slippery person who has both sides.

The old lady said before that such people should be ignored, but she didn't expect to order to search for it today, which shows how strange it is, but as a slave, it is the first thing to obey orders.

Liu Yun responded in a low voice, served the old lady to drink half a cup of warm water, and then lay down again.

At the end of the next morning, Lu Daopo, who always greeted people with a smiling face, entered Mou's house through the back door, and left with a puzzled expression after a while.

She came and went quickly, and because everyone in the main courtyard was in danger because the old mother was kicked out, no word of it was leaked, and even Mou Yi didn't hear a word of gossip, so naturally he didn't know that his mother was there again. I'm making arrangements for his marriage.

Throughout the year, the season waits for no one.Almost as soon as the spring breeze warmed up, after a light rain, the farmers were busy planting seeds and opening the fields. However, on the seventh or eighth day, the originally desolate fields were turned black and turned into neat patches of farmland. .

It is extremely conspicuous from a distance, and it is particularly pleasing.After all, what is sown here is the hope of all farmers for a year.

On this day, Su Yuan finally persuaded Granny Wu to take her into the mountains to collect herbs. She happily baked a few rice pancakes early in the morning, and wrapped some pickle sticks fried with lard in oil paper. When preparing to leave, someone came to seek medical treatment.

It was still a young man driving a carriage with two servants, just like the Mou family back then, but unfortunately, this young man acted extremely arrogantly, and even looked at Granny Wu with contempt.

Su Yuan became angry, and wanted to stop her mother-in-law from going to the doctor.

No, Grandma Wu heard that the sick child seemed to be very serious, so she agreed to visit the doctor. Perhaps because she was afraid that Su Yuan would be angry with others, she insisted on leaving her to guard the yard, causing Su Yuan to be extremely worried.

Fortunately, after noon, the carriage brought Granny Wu back. Su Yuan carefully looked at Granny Wu, except that she looked a little tired, and she didn't look like she had been neglected, so she went to cook noodles for Granny Wu and didn't let it go. on heart.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to go to Mou's family for a follow-up visit.

Granny Wu stayed up all night doing needlework the night before, and her energy was a little weak. Su Yuan figured she could handle it, so she helped Granny Wu to sleep on the kang, and made porridge with the few japonica rice in the house, serving it with a plate of cold salad The wild vegetables are kept in the stove, and when Granny Wu wakes up, they can cushion her stomach.

Soon, Mou Yi came to pick him up in a carriage, and Su Yuanfu hurried on the way when he got in the carriage, thinking about coming back to take care of Granny Wu after the follow-up visit.

Knowing that she was impatient, Mou Yi didn't say much gossip on the way, and went directly to Brother Kun's wing when he entered the mansion.

Brother Kun was pinching a paper frog and walking slowly in the room. When he saw Su Yuan coming, he was so happy that he ran forward, causing the nanny to follow behind in fear.

Su Yuan was very happy, bent over to pick up Brother Kun, led him to sit at the table, and showed him the jigsaw puzzles he had made with thin wooden boards for the past few days, asked the nanny carefully, and looked at Brother Kun again. After listening to his breathing, he smiled and said: "The previous prescription is very suitable, Brother Kun has almost recovered, I will adjust the dosage in a while, continue to drink for three days and you will be cured. But in the future, you still have to keep warm, the disease has taken root, and it is easy to relapse if you catch the wind and cold, so be careful."

"Okay." Hearing that his nephew was about to recover, Mou Yi was also happy, and stood up solemnly to salute.

Su Yuan waved his hands in a panic, "Brother Mou is too polite, he gave so many thank you gifts earlier, if Brother Kun can't be cured, I will eat pork for nothing."

What she said was funny, not to mention Mou Yi, even the nanny and the two little maids standing in the corner laughed.Brother Kun is still young, but seeing the joy of the crowd, he also smiled crookedly.

After hearing the servant girl's report, Mrs. Mou, who came to visit, saw such a scene outside the door. The hesitation in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she was decisive once.

"Buddha bless, this time the old man must not be wrong, otherwise in the future, he will have no way to explain to his ancestors."

Liu Yun heard the old lady murmuring in a low voice, and wanted to listen carefully, but suddenly remembered the phrases that Lu Daopo said earlier, and quickly lowered her head again.

After Su Yuan finished writing the prescription, she played with Brother Kun for a while, thinking that her mother-in-law was alone at home, so she planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, there was a servant girl guarding the door of the wing room, and when she came out, she stepped forward to salute, and said in a low voice: "Miss Su, our old lady ordered that if you are not in a hurry to rush home, please go and sit down for a while. "

Su Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and didn't understand why Mrs. Mou asked her to talk to her again, after all, the last time it was a little unpleasant.

But it was hard for her to refuse the invitation from the head of the family, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, please lead the way."

Mou Yi also thought of his mother's rudeness last time, so he wanted to follow him, but the maid bravely stretched out her hand to stop him, and said tremblingly: "Second master, the old lady said that there is a suit in the storeroom made of red sandalwood. The jewelry in the wooden box, the old man wants to give Miss Su as a thank you gift, others may not be able to find it, so I can only ask the second master to go."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. After all, every storeroom is an important place. It is not the master who cannot go in easily. It is also common for the mother to force the son to fetch things, but it is an obvious excuse to say it at such a moment.

Mou Yi became more and more puzzled, and his two black eyebrows were tightly frowned, but he was filial since he was a child, so he couldn't disobey his mother's wishes in front of outsiders, so he could only turn his head and go to the warehouse.

Su Yuan didn't think too much about it, since she had been to Mou's house once before, she naturally knew the way, and slowly walked along the veranda to the front of the main room, not paying attention to whether the maid followed her.

Another green-clothed maid had seen her approaching from afar, and hastily lifted the curtain to invite her in.
