Chapter 442: "Tonic"
has been "removed", but Zhao Jia's family did not open his mouth to mention family affairs, which made Wu Yashi, the wife of the waiter, a little puzzled. But this is not a matter of rushing up, there is no reason for the woman to take the initiative to match, so she naturally will not speak.
No, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, perhaps because the weather is getting cooler, Ruhui's chronic illness has been committed again, but it is much more serious than in previous years.
Ruhui is an asthma sufferer, and she has had two illnesses before. It's only three or four days a time at a time, but this time it doesn't look good. His eyes were bulging, his lips were bruised, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.
For fear of delaying her daughter's family affairs, Ruhui has asthma, Wu Yashi has always hidden it from the outside world, even her own relatives are no exception. I originally wanted to take advantage of my young age to recuperate for two years and be able to get better, but I didn't expect it to be getting heavier now.
This delay in the doctor's consultation, in a hurry, the Shilang Mansion couldn't take care of a lot, and the matter spread like this.
When Zhaojia's heard that his nephew and daughter had a chronic illness, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't know whether to blame his brother and sister-in-law for hiding it, and secretly glad that he hadn't settled the family affairs of the two families earlier.
Since August, Cao Hao went to the Yamen of Taifu Temple on an errand. Because Han Qing went to Rehe at the end of June to exchange him for his return, these two months the yamen only Yi Duli one, busy is true, the whole day to find a son to go to the house is also true, the last time Cao Hao "ventilation report" favor, Yi Duli is very grateful, this day happened to be not busy in the yamen, so he specially invited Cao Hao to the restaurant to eat and drink to thank you.
When he spoke during this banquet, he did not complain in his heart.
According to Yi Duli's thoughts, he originally wanted to take Yang Ruixue's mother and daughter back to the house, after all, they lived in these two places, and they couldn't take care of this side or there, and he was tired of turning over and turning over.
But every time she mentioned it, Yang Ruixue only cried, only because she was from a small family, and she was afraid of the rules of the house, so she didn't dare to accept it.
Although Yang Ruixue is a woman, she guards two stores by herself, and her expenses do not point to Yiduli. Sometimes, she used the money to buy fine clothes and other materials, and cut clothes for Yiduli.
Yi Duli only felt like a door-to-door uncle, and he didn't have enough confidence to speak. In addition, she really has some true feelings for Yang Ruixue, and she doesn't want to go against her will. After getting married, he diligently "sowed", counting on Yang Ruixue to get pregnant as soon as possible. When I have a child, I can take her back to my house and go.
Unexpectedly, more than half a year has passed, and Yang Ruixue's stomach still hasn't moved. When Yi Duli said this, he couldn't help but be a little depressed, and he muttered when he said it: "Could it be that I'm too old?" Or, find some way to get some recipes for tonifying essence? ”
These are all Yiduli's family affairs, Cao Haoshi is not interested in listening to them, but he pulled them over, and it is not good to leave immediately.
Hearing that Yi Duli was worried about the child's affairs, Cao Hao remembered what his sister said to him in private when Tianhui was full moon. Chu Yu was injured due to childbirth, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get pregnant again.
When Cao Jiashi said it, he was still a little annoyed. When Cao Hao heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, but it was not because of himself, but because he was worried that Chu Yu would be uncomfortable in the future.
In Cao Hao's heart, with Tianyou Tongtianhui, as well as his adopted son Hengsheng, nephew Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhu's brothers, there are enough children in this house.
In fact, he was vaguely lucky. Even if Chu Yu could get pregnant, Cao Hao didn't dare to risk her having another child.
Yi Duli was still waiting for Cao Hao to give some suggestions, but seeing that Cao Hao didn't respond, he asked weakly, "What's wrong?" Fu Ruo also looked at me as old as I was old, and it is said that I am also just past the age of establishment, and I am still in the prime of life! Speaking of which, he was not so sure, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Although the second elder brother has been detained, he has added three children this year...... Shouldn't someone be inquired...... See if there is a home remedy for the kidney? The last words are not like asking Cao Hao, but more like talking to yourself.
Cao Hao had seen Yiduli's wine, and saw that his face was flushed, and he had a big tongue when he spoke, and he was almost enough, so he said: "This is not an urgent matter, you have children and daughters, it may not be this problem, find a good doctor and take a good look." Today, let's drink here first, there are still some things at home, and I should go back, and I will accompany the adults again. As he spoke, he got up from his seat and called Xiao Er to settle the bill.
Yi Duli didn't drink enough, and said with a big tongue: "This ...... That's less than two jugs of wine......"
Cao Hao said in his heart, okay, if you really drink two pots, you can't control it again, and you will be crazy with alcohol.
While speaking, Xiao Er had already entered, and counted the wine account, a total of seven coins and five cents of silver. Cao Hao was just about to take out his purse, but was pulled out by Yi Duli and said: "Since I invited Fu Ruo to eat and drink, how can I repay you to come to the meeting and wipe my face?" As he spoke, he picked up his purse, took out two pieces of broken silver from it, and threw them to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er nodded and went away, Yidu Liti slipped through his purse, and showed off to Cao Hao with a little pride: "Look, this is all prepared by the Yang family...... Saying that he was afraid that it would not be cheap for me to come out and spend silver, Tete twisted the silver bills into half taels and two and a half coins...... Hehe, I really know the cold and the hot......"
This Yang Ruixue's good words, every time Li Yi is talking about it not ten times, but also eight times, Cao Hao's ears are about to come out of the cocoon when he hears it...... * I am worried that the second elder brother has added three children a year, in addition to Yi Duli, there are also ten elder brothers.
He is not fat, but he has been raised in the house for the past two years due to "illness", but he has not seen meat, and he has become a little thinner.
Today, the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother came to visit together, and when they saw that the tenth elder brother was reduced like this, they all showed some concern.
Therefore, both of them spoke with some concern. Brother Jiu persuaded him to go out for a walk more, a big living person, and it was not good to be in the house like this all the time. What is this like? If he is allowed to see the truth without knowing the truth, what mistake has he made, what is the difference between this and the eldest brother and the thirteenth elder brother?
When you go out for a walk, you're in a good mood, and your body may be refreshed.
The fourteenth elder brother is worried about the tenth elder brother's condition, which has been raised repeatedly for two years, and it has not improved, which is not worrying. Shouldn't you go to the people to find some recipes to eat?
You must know that the doctors in the Tai Hospital are the most cautious in prescribing prescriptions, not seeking to be effective or ineffective, but not to make mistakes. It's a small problem, and they can let people raise it for two months.
Brother Ten didn't want to say more, so he changed his words and asked, "Did you have a letter from Brother Starling?" This Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it is time for Emperor Ama to visit Mongolia. ”
When Brother Jiu heard him ask about this, his face was a little uncomfortable, and he said: "I have a letter, I don't know why, the Emperor Amarius Starling is in Rehe, and he didn't let him follow." ”
When the tenth elder brother heard this, he was a little surprised, and said, "What about the others, the third and fourth brothers, who are also in Rehe?" ”
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I left the starling alone, and I didn't let him go back to Beijing, and the rest of the third, fourth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth children all followed the holy car to Mongolia." ”
The tenth elder brother was puzzled and said, "What does this Emperor Ama mean?" Is this a heavy starling, or is it a starling? ”
Brother Jiu frowned, feeling a little gloomy in his heart, not knowing how to answer.
The fourteenth elder brother sitting under him glanced at him and asked with a smile: "When did the ninth brother receive the letter from the eighth brother, why did the younger brother ask yesterday and never heard the ninth brother talk about it." ”
The ninth elder brother felt that the smile on the face of the fourteenth elder brother was an eyesore, and wanted to beat him twice, but thinking that the eighth elder brother was in a difficult situation now, it was really not the time for infighting. Therefore, he replied vaguely: "The letter that came only yesterday afternoon has not bothered to tell you. ”
When the fourteenth elder brother heard this, he stopped talking, lowered his head and held the tea cup, and took a sip of tea.
Looking at the thick beard on the mouth of the fourteenth elder brother, the tenth elder brother suddenly became agitated and muttered: "I am a little uncomfortable today, so I won't keep the ninth brother and the fourteenth brother more!" ”
The ninth elder brother is still thinking about how to support the fourteenth elder brother, and how to move with the tenth elder brother with affection and reason. These brothers work together to break the gold. As long as a few of them are twisted together, even the imperial father will not easily move a few of them.
Unexpectedly, the tenth elder brother had already opened his mouth to drive away the guests. The ninth elder brother was so frightened that he wanted to die, but he knew that the tenth elder brother ate soft and not hard, and saw that he really didn't have much energy and was not good at attacking, so he got up and went out of the house with the fourteenth elder brother.
The tenth elder brother only delivered it to the door of the living room, so he asked the housekeeper to send the two elder brothers out and returned to the room by himself.
The ninth elder brother is so depressed, now that the eighth elder brother is suppressed by the imperial father, it is when they need their brother's help, how can the tenth brother be like this? However, he was already defensive against the fourteenth elder brother in his heart, but he didn't show it in front of him, he just said that he should find a doctor and give the tenth elder brother a good look at the disease, which is very brotherly.
There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.
The two elder brothers came out of the Ten Elder Brothers' Mansion, hummed and haha, dealt with each other for a few words, and then dispersed.
But he said that Brother Ten turned back to the inner hall and sat on the chair in a daze.
After a while, I listened to the waiter Xiao Shengzi at the door: "Master, the medicine is ready!" ”
When the tenth elder brother heard this, he raised his head and said, "Send it in!" ”
Xiao Shengzi lowered his head and came in with a tray on it, a small jar of blue and white porcelain on it, and a bowl of blue and white porcelain next to it.
Xiao Shengzi saw that the master didn't speak, and he didn't know whether to put the tray on the kang table or the coffee table, and his eyes were staring twice.
Brother Ten pointed to the kang table and said, "Leave it there!" ”
When Xiao Shengzi heard this, he stepped forward and put the tray on the kang table, and asked respectfully: "Master, Doctor Qiu said that the medicine can be diverged while it is hot, and the slave will give you a bowl?" ”
Brother Ten looked at the blue and white porcelain altar, his face was a little gloomy, and he nodded for a while.
As soon as the lid of the jar was opened, the meat was immediately fragrant, but Xiao Shengzi endured the nausea in his heart, and served a bowl with a spoon and meat soup.
Ten elder brothers drooped his face and stepped forward, sat on the edge of the kang, and looked at the crispy flesh and bones that had been stewed in the soup bowl. It was white and tender, like a newborn lotus root.
He picked up the bowl, but his hands were a little trembling, his face turned white at once, and he lowered his head and vomited.
Although he is eager to seek treatment, he is still an individual. The so-called "miracle doctor" had just prescribed this prescription before, and he didn't feel anything, waiting for the "tonic" to be put in front of him, but he couldn't stand it.
Xiao Shengzi was beside him, and when he saw Brother Ten like this, he didn't know whether to take the basin or take the towel, but he was a little busy for a while.
The tenth elder brother spit out twice, didn't look at the porcelain altar, waved his hand at Xiao Shengzi, and said, "Withdraw, withdraw, quickly take the jar away, find a place to bury ......"
Xiao Shengzi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly put the towel in his hand on the edge of the kang next to the tenth elder brother, and went down with the porcelain jar.
In a hurry, he dropped the soup bowl.
Brother Ten vomited almost completely, reached out and pulled a towel to wipe his mouth, turned his head, and just happened to see the blue and white bowl. The white piece of flesh like a lotus root was lying across the bowl.
"Vomit ......" Brother Ten couldn't help it again, leaned over and vomited, until his mouth was bitter, and he seemed to spit out bile...... Brother Ten felt that something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to wipe it on his eyes, but he vomited so much that tears came out. A little self-deprecation appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Grandma......"
The Buddha has clouds, all sentient beings are suffering, and there is cause and effect in the underworld.
Brother Ten couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, could it be that he had done something heinous and bad, why did he end up like this...... But it was said that Cao Hao and Yi Duli came out after eating, and saw that he was drunk as he said, but his demeanor was still sober, so he asked his long-term followers to send him back.
Next year is August 18, and when the autumn season ends, Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang brothers will take the exam. Therefore, Cao Hao went home directly.
Although Cao Song's errand was said to be moving around, because there was no shortage on the side of the guard, Zhao Jia's clan outside recited twice in front of Cao Hao, it was nothing more than a little bitter here, a tired place or something.
Cao Hao just listened and didn't bother with her. These words don't need to be said by Zhao Jia's family, even he, who is an elder brother, also wants to find a light errand for Cao Song......-
