[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

Zhu Xiu originally thought that the reunion after a long absence should not be "holding hands and looking at tears", but also "there are silver photos left tonight, and I am afraid that the reunion will be a dream".But the chubby belly was squeezed between the couple, so Zhandong had to think twice about the angle if he wanted to hold her in his arms.Not to mention that he was a bit tender and tender, and the bear child in his stomach stretched his arms and kicked his legs and gave it a hard time.

Zhan Dong gently embraced her, and received a sudden blow, the narrow waist that was lightly pressed against Zhu Xiu's belly froze, his body was as hard as the back of a Yanling knife.

Zhu Xiu couldn't help laughing with a "puchi", touched her belly, and thought, "Okay, ok, stinky child, a woman with a big belly is not worthy of romance."

"It's okay, it's okay. He woke up and stretched his legs." Forgive this stupid father who has never seen the world.

Zhan Dong looked into Zhu Xiu's eyes, when he was fighting in the airless jungle in the south, every time he had a chance to take a breath, he would always think of this little face.At that time, I felt that I had a lot to say to my little wife, but when I was finally able to say it, I couldn't say a word.I can only say: "Thank you for your hard work."

The stinky boy was in pain, Zhu Xiu couldn't help but grinned and took two breaths, and even tried to comfort the stinky boy's father insincerely.

This kind of day is approaching, and Chunliu and Qiugui, who dare not leave the master's side, stand on both sides of the floor covering like two pillars, looking at each other with expressionless faces, but they both use their peripheral vision to pay attention. With red embroidery.Zhu Xiu's grin was seen by both girls, Chunliu closed her eyes in horror, Qiu Gui resisted the twitching of her mouth, thinking: Demeanor, demeanor!My grandma, it's been a long time to meet again, at least keep it a little.

Fang still thought that she could be regarded as a good wife and mother, the great grandma Zhan, but at this moment, she didn't care about those empty etiquette, tenderness is beyond tenderness, and her anger is already burning.

"Did you not take the medicine I brought you?" Zhu Xiu asked with staring eyes.

It turned out that Zhu Xiu was in pain, so Zhan Dong rushed to help her cautiously.Zhan Dongsheng is tall and tall, with long arms relaxed, supporting Zhu Xiu's right arm with one hand, and holding his wife's small hand in the other big palm.Zhu Xiu's back was leaning against Zhan Dong's chest, and she felt warm and reliable. She turned her head and raised her face to look at her eyes. As expected, her face was darkened a lot, so she wanted to speak. Holding the gauze wrapped around the cuff.

Zhan Dong saw that his little wife's face changed immediately, she stopped, and raised her cuffs with both hands to look inside.Zhan Dong said "Nothing, just a small injury", but was choked up by his little wife fiercely.

Zhu Xiu looked at Zhandong's left wrist, there was no blood oozing from the bandaged wound, and his left hand could move freely. Knowing that the injury didn't affect the meridians, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Pulling his right hand again, he stretched out his left hand to lightly tap his veins with the belly of his finger, Zhandong struggled a little, and he drew a glance.

Zhu Xiu only made a rough diagnosis, but his heart skipped a beat. This is clearly a symptom of unhealed serious injuries and excessive blood loss.

Zhu Xiu said before that he believed in Zhandong's ability. On the one hand, it was true that Zhandong's martial arts were highly prudent, and on the other hand, he believed in the good medicines formulated with the medicinal materials stored in the Cuihua pouch.Unexpectedly, when he said something, he was slapped.

From the outside, Zhan Dong was obviously intact. It is said that there is such a golden sore medicine, it is not a big wound with a broken arm or a leg, and there will be no excessive blood loss.This man is now standing firmly, standing on top of the sky and the earth, as if with him, the wind and snow outside cannot blow through the door.But who would have thought that this is a paper tiger, his body is so wasted, if it were someone else, he would have collapsed with such an injury.

"It's okay, I..." Zhan Dong wanted to explain, but stopped short.There was no explanation for this: he naturally knew that those medicines were the painstaking efforts of Xiu Xiu, and he did not know how much effort it took to get the good medicines.But those who went to the battlefield fought bravely and ruthlessly, and the brothers Paize who fought bravely together had the knife in their left hand and the shield behind them.No one can just watch Paoze die, that's how the medicines are gradually used up.Only the life-hanging medicine given by Xiu Xiu is so precious and miraculous, besides, there is no time to give medicine to a dying person on the battlefield, and one is useless.

Zhu Xiu's heart was depressed. She, who had never been through war in two lifetimes, still thought of war too simply. "Those medicines are more effective than those prescribed by the doctors in the medical account?"

Zhan Dong nodded: "Especially the medicine for golden sores. Zhan Song lost his left arm, and the medicine in the camp couldn't stop the bleeding at all. The doctor had to burn the wound with firewood. The medicine in the white bottle can stop it..." At that time, the situation was urgent, and they saw a wounded man with a broken leg who didn't die on the battlefield, but died of pain because he couldn't survive the scorching fire.Even the good medicine that Xiuxiu gave in the box couldn't stop Zhansong's blood. The medicine was washed away by the blood as soon as it was applied, which was useless at all.Zhan Dong could only hope for the few bottles of medicine that were left alone in his pouch.

Zhu Xiu nodded, it's just that for such an injury, half a bottle of pills must be crushed and applied to the wound. I'm afraid that when Zhandong himself is injured later, only ordinary golden sore medicine can be used.

"Put down the tent of the floor covering, you go out." Zhu Xiu turned her head and told Chunliu and Qiugui.

Chunliu and Qiugui glanced at each other, untied the curtain in a hurry, withdrew lightly, and closed the door behind them.

Zhu Xiu dragged Zhan Dong into the Nuan Pavilion, and stood beside the smoked cage.

"No need. The injury is fine." Zhan Dong pulled his skirt when his little wife came up, wanting to hide, but afraid of hurting her, so he could only gently support Zhu Xiu's shoulder, and said in a warm voice.

Zhu Xiu said: "I won't move, you can see for yourself. How is the injury?" As she spoke, she supported her lower back and straightened her stomach, as if threatening her.

Zhan Dong couldn't help it, so he had to take off his clothes and told her to look at the wound.

There were countless new scars on his body, some of which had shed their scabs to reveal the newly grown tender flesh, and some still had hard scabs on them.The most serious one was a knife wound slanting across the waist and abdomen, which was still wrapped in a white cloth, but the white cloth showed dark red, which showed that the wound hadn't healed at all.

"It's okay, don't cry. Because it's too hot in southern Xinjiang, I'm going to slow down. When I get back to Duzhong, I'll be fine soon." Zhan Dong pulled up the front of his clothes, and carefully wiped away the tears with his fingertips: "Don't cry."

Zhu Xiu sniffed, and raised her voice outside: "Go to Sister Lin's place, and invite Dr. Li, the priest of the Lin family, to visit the house for a while. Open the medicine store at the back to get a few good medicines as a gift."

Dr. Li has done his best to write the true biography of his master in Xingjitang, especially the skill of prescribing medicines, and the imperial physicians are all overwhelmed.Earlier, Zhu Xiu used the good medicine in Cuihua's pouch to ask this everyone to help, and the pills brought to Zhandong came from him and his apprentices.In the previous passage, it was considered to be an idea of ​​friendship, besides, Li's priest was very straightforward: he wanted to be an offering to the Lin family because the Lin family was rich and could let him throw away medicinal materials to prepare and test prescriptions; Because Zhu Xiu brought out many good medicines from the previous year, he was very itchy.Therefore, it is most desirable to knock on the door with medicinal materials.

"Hey, what are you doing closing the door in broad daylight?" the hall sister-in-law asked while wearing a squirrel-skin cloak and a Guanyin pocket, and the mother-in-law held an umbrella.

"Grandma Xin, it's difficult to walk on snow, please slow down." Chunliu rushed to help her.

Zhan Dong's eldest cousin's single name is "Xin", so everyone in the big house calls her "Grandma Xin".Because I am familiar with everyone in Zhuxiuyuan, so I don't speak politely.She is a person who has given birth, and she is afraid that the young couple will see each other again after a long absence, and she is a child. Dong is young and ignorant, and there are sows competing with Diaochan in the army camp. The day of embroidering girls is just around the corner. At this moment, it is most unbearable to make a mistake.

Grandma Zhu had already been placed in a nearby yard, and all the people in the house were preparing for Zhu Xiu's delivery, and it was just now that Mrs. Zhan was talking to Grandma Zhu.When Zhan Dong came back, he had already paid his respects to the elders.When the girls were together, seeing that Zhan Dong had returned to the main courtyard for a while and did not go to the front, she felt anxious.Grandma Zhu wanted to come over to have a look, but she was stopped by Mrs. Zhan: "...you are an elder, and if you pass by like this, it will be fine, and I'm afraid you'll embarrass them. I'll go, and I don't have to go into the house, just greet my younger siblings outside Just one word."

The sister-in-law in the lobby hurriedly called Chunliu: "Good girl, don't get your shoes wet. I came out from my wife's place and passed by your yard. I asked for nothing, how is your grandma doing now? The sixth brother came home. It's a good thing, but she is a person who lives in recent days, please persuade your grandma not to allow her to be overwhelmed by sorrows and joys."

Zhu Xiu heard it inside, so he had to open the door and come to speak in person.Zhan Dong also adjusted his clothes and went out to see the ceremony.

Seeing that they were fine, Mrs. Zhan felt relieved, and instead of sitting down, she only asked a few words of concern, and went out of the yard.

This was just the first interruption, not long after, someone from Zhanda in the front yard called Zhandong.There are also relatives and old friends from various families. Some sent people to greet and visit, and some sent greetings.Among these people, most of the disciples just accept posts, but there are only a few, who are either Zhan Da Mo Ni, or Zhan Dong's close friends, but Zhan Dong has to work hard to meet people in person and say a few words before Live up to the kindness.

Fortunately, there was a good medicine hooked to Li Gongfeng, and Li Gongfeng came in a hurry. Haosheng checked the pulse, looked at the injury, and prescribed a few prescriptions for external application and internal administration.Dr. Li said: "Your injury must have been repeated many times. The rotten flesh was cut and then bandaged with medicine, and it has not healed until now. Fortunately, although the wound is large, it is lucky that no internal organs were injured, otherwise there is no life left. You have died If the root is injured, healing is only one of them, and it needs to be recuperated and replenished slowly."

Zhu Xiu was behind the screen, clutching the veil tightly. Hearing the words, she hurriedly asked, "Do you need to rest in bed?" There are a lot of business and family affairs, and according to his temperament, he can pretend until he falls down. As if nothing happened.

Dr. Li stroked his goatee's beard, and he also knew that there must be many things in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds and sympathy for the victorious army, because he said: "See, you can bear the pain. If this is the case, you can walk normally, as long as You must not use force on horseback, or the wound will be torn open like this time!" After taking a look at Zhan Dong, he said again: "It would be best if you can rest."

Zhan Dong's eyelashes moved, and he took a quick look at the screen.Even if she couldn't see Xiuxiu, she knew that her daughter-in-law must be annoyed.

Chunliu and Qiugui watched their grandma's eyebrows stand upside down, and hurriedly served tea and water to remonstrate silently.Zhu Xiu took a sip of ginger jujube tea, and suppressed the fire.Listening to Li Gongfeng's words, he knew that the injury did not heal repeatedly, and it was already very hurtful, but this man of his family dared to ride back to Beijing on horseback.

"The whole journey is by boat, and the only way to use horses is to disembark from Tongzhou." Dr. Li smiled as he watched the well-known Uncle Zhan bow his head and speak, and he was very happy: "I can't help but twist my fingers and saw my mouth. The gourd will explain everything, his old man loves to watch such dramas.

He couldn't finish explaining this sentence, Zhandong racked his brains to think about the words Deng Jijiao said in the past, and made a promise: "Until the injury recovers, I won't ride a horse again."

After watching the play, Dr. Li said with a smile: "Use this medicine for five days first, and I will come back after five days." Then he said to the screen: "If you have good medicinal materials for external application, you can take them out , I’ll make it up. If you don’t have any medicinal ingredients, just take the prescription to Xingjitang to get it.” Nowadays, prescriptions are not to be revealed lightly, and only the pharmacy designated by him can read the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor. Knowing how to prepare the formula, even if someone else has the paper on which the formula is written, they will not be able to solve it.Looking at the rather ordinary prescription, perhaps there is a unique mark somewhere, indicating that the dosage or the change of the medicinal material, the slightest difference, the loss of a thousand miles.

Zhu Xiu naturally knew the rules, and hurriedly asked Xiaoyaoer to ask Li Gongfeng to go to the pharmacy: "You choose it yourself. If there is any flavor missing, you can send him to tell me. I can find it, and I will send it to you. If not , let people go to Xingjitang to buy.”

Dr. Li was really happy, this girl has a lot of good medicines hidden in her house, she is so rare that she is not stingy, she can't sit still anymore, she just searched in the small medicine store in the back.

On the fifth day, Dr. Li came to Zhan Dong's pulse early in the morning with a red face, who knew that Zhan Dong's mansion was very solemn, the doors were closed and the house was silent, as if facing an enemy.

Zhan Da was pacing back and forth in the front hall. Dr. Li and Yaotong had arrived in front of the hall, but Zhan Da hadn't found them yet.Between the two rows of top chairs, Zhanda walked from the inside to the threshold with his head buried, looked back at the inside, then turned around and walked quickly to the hall with his hands behind his back, paused, raised his head and stretched his neck to listen to the movement behind him.

Yaotong was still younger, seeing the old man's fresh look, he quietly tugged at his master's sleeve, and asked with a smile: "Master, what's wrong with him?"

Dr. Li gently pulled out his sleeves, and tapped the little apprentice's round head: "Shut up! There are no rules!"

Yaotong was not afraid, he stroked his forehead and smiled.

Doctor Li coughed lightly, and stepped across the threshold in a pretentious manner.

"Li Gongfeng, you just happened to come..."

Seeing that it was him, Zhan Da was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed over his hands and begged for help. Before he finished talking, three or four stewards rushed up from behind, panting and grinning: "Master, master! It's the birth, the grandma is giving birth! A big fat boy was born!"

"Congratulations, master!"
