Enter the red building

Chapter [-]

In Qi'an County Yamen, a good room, simple but clean furniture, does not look too shabby, this is the magistrate's mansion after all.Xue Qiu was lying on the bed, covered with an ordinary new quilt, his face was not very good, his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was in pain, his forehead was sweating all the time, and he was saying something, like he was shouting person's name.

"When will my lord wake up? Doctor Jin, you have to give me an accurate answer! What if Mr. Xue--what if?" Liu Lan walked around beside the bed anxiously, looking at Physician Jin said.

Physician Jin handed the newly written prescription to a skinny official, and said, "Don't make mistakes with these medicines."

The skinny official nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor, the servant will definitely not make mistakes." After finishing speaking, the official hurriedly walked out. He didn't dare to really have something wrong with this matter. arrived.

Physician Jin then turned to Liu Lan and said, "Didn't you say that? My lord just has the wind and cold in his body, and he will be fine after taking two doses of medicine."

Liu Lan glared at Imperial Physician Jin, and said angrily, "It's not you! If it wasn't for your lord to save you, how could this happen. If something really happens to your lord, I'll see how you explain it to the emperor."

It turned out that Xue Qiu and Imperial Physician Jin took some officials and guards to go to Lianhua Village in person, but they never thought that something happened when they passed Wuzi River on the way. The bridge on the river was already crumbling. He quickly pulled Imperial Physician Jin, but Xue Qiu stepped on the broken plank and fell into the river.

Soaking in the river in the twelfth lunar month of winter, even though Xue Qiu was in good health, he still caught cold and had a fever.Especially when the plague is rampant now, it is impossible to catch it, especially for a sick and weak person like Xue Qiu.

Imperial Physician Jin also felt a little embarrassed, it was such an unfortunate coincidence that Xue Qiu fell ill at this stall, and said with a sneer, "Isn't there something wrong?" I’ve done what I told you, don’t ask your lord after waking up, you can’t answer!”

Liu Lan glanced lightly at Imperial Physician Jin, "My business will be done naturally."

"That's good, my lord wakes up, and I can feel at ease. We can't delay any longer." Imperial Physician Jin didn't care about Liu Lan's eyes. Liu Lan must be very dissatisfied with him when something like this happened.

Xue Qiu opened his eyes at this time, feeling weak all over, and his throat was burning and sore. Seeing the doctor Jin and Liu Lan talking beside him, he couldn't help asking: "Cough! Cough! What are you talking about—say something? What?"

Seeing Xue Qiu wake up, Liu Lan immediately beamed with joy, walked in and asked, "Is your lord all right? How do you feel now?"

"Water! Water!" Xue Qiu only said this word, and the maid serving beside him hurriedly brought a cup of tea for Xue Qiu to drink.

Xue Qiu didn't care so much, drank several cups in a row to make his throat feel better, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Physician Jin replied: "Not long, only a few hours. My lord, don't worry too much about the outside world. Take care of your body first!"

Xue Qiu waved his hands and asked, "What's going on outside now? Are those medicines useful?" This matter is the most important thing, and you must not let it go by because of yourself.

Liu Lan hurriedly said: "The medicine prescribed by the prescription has a certain effect, but it is useless for those people in Xihe Lane who have been ill for a long time. Now the situation outside is under control for the time being. It's just that I haven't thought of a way to completely cure this plague. "

Xue Qiu frowned, thought for a while that only Imperial Physician Jin could solve this problem, and asked: "Physician Jin, have you thought of any solution? I can count on you for this matter!"

Physician Jin sighed, he had no clue about this plague, and the current Fang Zi could only control the disease a little bit, and said honestly: "I don't have any clue now, after reading some situations in Lianhua Village, I don't know what this plague is. what happened."

At this moment, the room fell silent, and everyone was silent, thinking hard about the problem in front of them.

Half a day later, Xue Qiu suddenly remembered some books on this topic that he had read in his previous life, and he couldn't help asking: "Physician Jin, the cause of the plague is qi, and the disease caused by warm plague is neither wind, nor cold, nor heat, nor dampness. If one person gets sick, it may infect the whole family, and the mild ones will give birth to eighty-nine out of ten, and the severe ones will be one out of ten. Do you want to think about starting from the outside to the inside, drinking one side of Qingwenbaidu, and mainly using plaster?"

Seeing Imperial Physician Jin thinking about his words carefully, Xue Qiu said again: "This is just my opinion, you know, I don't understand this aspect. I just think that these prescriptions are from the inside to the outside. Will there be a better effect inside?"

After listening to Xue Qiu's words, Imperial Physician Jin seemed to have thought of something, but felt a bit embarrassed, and asked suspiciously: "But traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to regulating the breath from the inside, and the blood from the inside transforms the outside body. Doing so is contrary to pharmacology, and it is not harmonious." It’s common sense, I’m afraid what adults say—"

Liu Lan couldn't understand what Qingwenbaidu drink Xue Qiu said, and couldn't figure out what Imperial Physician Jin said about regulating the breath from the inside and transforming the outer body with blood from the inside, so she said directly: "Physician Jin, you should try it first. Master Xue is right, and it is also a good thing for us."

"Can you try anything casually? This accident will harm them." Imperial Physician Jin felt very uncomfortable when he heard Liu Lan's irresponsible words. You must know that any medicine that does not work well will become poison, and Imperial Physician Jin It was very embarrassing for Liu Lan to ask directly.

Liu Lan didn't care about the cold tone of Imperial Physician Jin at all. In his opinion, what risk is he talking about now? He really doesn't understand the situation, so he asked: "If you don't try, they will die. If you try, they may not Death. Why don’t you understand such a simple question, Imperial Physician Jin?”

Physician Jin choked on Liu Lan's words, didn't know what to say to oppose Liu Lan's point of view, pointed at Liu Lan and said: "You, you—"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xue Qiu quickly persuaded: "Doctor Jin, this is just my opinion, and it may not be right. There is no better way now. If this delays for a while, I don't know how many more people will die. People? Do you want to think about it carefully?"

Physician Jin thought for a while, finally nodded and said: "Let's try it first! I hope this method will work."

Xue Qiu smiled, and couldn't help coughing again when he was happy,

At this time, an official came in, handed over a letter, and said respectfully: "My lord, here is a letter from you, it is from the capital."

With the help of the maid, Xue Qiu sat up from the bed with some effort, leaned against the head of the bed, took the letter and asked, "What are you adults doing now?"

The officer replied: "Your Excellency is dealing with some affairs, what can you do?"

Xue Qiu shook his head, "No! You go down first!" As he spoke, Xue Qiu opened the letter and began to read it.

The more she looked down, the heavier Xue Qiu's heart was. Her mother looked really bad, but she didn't know how long she could hold on, so she immediately got up and said, "Prepare your pen and ink, I want to write a letter back to the capital!"

Liu Lan looked at Xue Qiu as if he had encountered something serious, and asked, "My lord, what happened in the house? Do you want us to help?"

Xue Qiu was restless, with a sad expression on his face, and said softly: "Mother's illness is serious again, I'm afraid - I'm afraid it's not good after reading the letter."

Liu Lan's face also turned serious. He had no choice but to persuade: "Your Excellency, don't worry too much. I believe that Auntie must be lucky and she will get better!"

Xue Qiu also knew that this was Liu Lan's sincere words, so why didn't he think so, but would things really be as he thought?Xue Qiu was skeptical and uncertain.Could it be that mother really couldn't make it through?Xue Qiu felt very sad for a while, wondering if his mother could wait for him to rush back to see her for the last time.

Imperial Physician Jin looked at Xue Qiu's face and guessed that Mrs. Xue's illness might be very serious, otherwise Xue Qiu would not be in such a sad state, and the capital would not write to Xue Qiu, asking: "Master Xue, your mother's illness is serious. yes--"

"Phlegm-syndrome!"

Both the imperial doctor Jin and Liu Lan didn't know how to persuade Xue Qiu. The phlegm disease could only be exhausting, and there was no way to cure it.

Xue Qiu dipped his pen in the ink, his heart ached, his eyes turned red, he choked up and said, "I still don't know if I can——can I see my mother for the last time?"

Imperial Physician Jin remained silent, looking at the current situation, he was afraid that there would be no way to solve it in a short time, so he just said: "Yes! Phlegm disease, take good care of it, I believe it will be able to—" Imperial Physician Jin said this so that he didn't have any confidence, carefully Thinking about it, I know that Mrs. Xue must have been suffering from phlegm disease for some time.

But Liu Lan said: "Yes! Don't worry, my lord, you will definitely be able to rush back to see your aunt for the last time."

Imperial Physician Jin gave Liu Lan a hard look. How could he say such a thing, making it sound like he was cursing his mother to die?

"No! My lord, that's not what I meant! I mean that Auntie will definitely wait for you to go back." Liu Lan also realized that she was wrong, and quickly corrected her.

Xue Qiu didn't care about Liu Lan's words, because Liu Lan's words were actually true, Xue Qiu only hoped that he could still see his mother's smile when he went back.

Or seeing that Xue Qiu has been in a bad mood since he received the letter from the capital, and his expression is sad. For a while, no one dared to make any mistakes, and they all guessed a little bit, fearing that something happened in the Lord's house. What's the matter, I'm afraid that Xue Qiu will be in a bad mood and vent his anger on himself.

......

Mrs. Xue's health is going from bad to worse, and I'm afraid she won't be able to last for many days. Xue Baoqin is pregnant, so she should stay in Mei's house to raise the baby. But now Mrs. Xue is about to die, how can Xue Baoqin leave.As the son-in-law of the Xue family, Mei Xuan naturally has to share some things for the Xue family, and now she also lives with Xue Baoqin in the Xue family. After all, the Xue family does not have a single man now.

The emperor also knew about Mrs. Xue's situation. As a Mingjun, his subjects are doing things for him, so he must express that the best medicinal materials are constantly being sent to Xue's family from the imperial hospital, but no matter how good the medicine is, it is not immortal. Medicine, there is no way to continue life.

Many people in the capital saw that the emperor had sent medicinal materials. This obviously valued Xue's family, so they rushed to visit. The situation in the officialdom is always changing.

Lin Daiyu is pregnant, and although she entrusts Nanny Li to be responsible for some things, Lin Daiyu has to worry about it herself. Fortunately, she has a little bird by her side to help share the burden, so she can breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Lin Daiyu became pregnant, her belly has gradually grown, but her body has gradually lost weight for some reason, and her complexion has also gradually deteriorated. Looking at it makes people feel tense, Qian Que feels very uneasy, she does not know if it is true It will harm Lin Daiyu.Qian Que held a bowl of anti-fetal medicine and said, "Grandma, drink up this bowl of anti-fetal medicine!"

Lin Daiyu put down the embroidery in her hand, took the medicine, and asked, "How can mother be okay?"

Xueyan didn't need to order, she brought some candied fruit by herself, frowned and said: "The eldest wife and the second grandma Bao are helping to take care of it. The wife is still the same, I'm afraid—"

Lin Daiyu's heart sank, and she asked again: "Did you reply to the letter?"

Xueyan shook her head and said, "No! Don't tell me something happened to the old man there?"

"Snow Goose! What are you talking about?" Qian Que scolded coldly.Qian Que looked at Lin Daiyu's worried look, and quickly comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry. I've heard people in the capital say that the plague in the Southwest has been brought under control. I think it won't be long before the uncle will come back."

Xueyan knew that she had said the wrong thing, and said, "Yes! Yes! Mrs. Li mentioned it when she came here last time. The uncle will definitely come back safely."

Lin Daiyu remained silent, drank the anti-fetal medicine and took the candied fruit.

Qian Que tidied up the cloth and clothes in Lin Daiyu's hand, and complained: "Grandma, didn't Imperial Physician Liu say that? You must not worry about it. Just leave these things to the servants. It's not worth doing it yourself."

Lin Daiyu smiled, adding some brilliance to her haggard face, and said softly: "These are made for the child in my stomach, I'm afraid that I will—"

Qianque quickly interrupted: "Where do you have to do so much? Grandma, don't tire yourself out."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Of course not, I will be fine."

At this moment, Xiaoya came in and said, "Grandma, Imperial Physician Liu is here!"

Without Lin Daiyu's orders, Xueyan hurried out to greet Imperial Physician Liu.

"How is it? Doctor Liu, is the child okay?" Lin Daiyu asked with a smile.

Doctor Liu frowned again, took his pulse carefully, and finally sighed, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Imperial Physician Liu hesitate to speak, Lin Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked, "Prince Liu, but—but what's wrong with the child—"

Seeing Lin Daiyu's haggard face, Imperial Physician Liu said in a serious voice, "Grandma, your baby is--twins!"

"What? What did you say? Imperial Physician Liu." Lin Daiyu asked in surprise, she was actually pregnant with twins, this - this is unbelievable.

Qianque Xueyan on the side also looked at Lin Daiyu's belly with wide eyes. No one would have imagined that the big *grandmother was pregnant with two!

Doctor Liu looked at Lin Daiyu's happy face, and said coldly: "Because the month is short, let's abort the child! I said at the beginning that you can't conceive at all at this time, and now you are pregnant with two, you must Get rid of it!"

"No! This is absolutely impossible!" Lin Daiyu thought that she already had two little lives in her stomach, but she wanted to kill them, which was impossible.

"Could it be that you are thinking of killing three lives?" Imperial Physician Liu couldn't help asking angrily.

Both Qian Que and Xue Yan were intimidated by Imperial Physician Liu's angry appearance, but Lin Daiyu was not moved at all, and only asked, "Are you going to lose your life?"

Seeing Lin Daiyu's persistence, Imperial Physician Liu slowed down, "Even if you want to stay, you won't be able to keep it!"

Lin Daiyu looked down at her stomach, and muttered to herself: "Can't I keep it? But I still want to stay!" Her voice was soft but firm!
