Chapter 43 Old Knowledge of Beiping

November of the sixth year of Yongle. As soon as the winter started, Hui Niang was infected with wind and cold and fell ill. In two months, several famous doctors from Jiangnan have been consulted for diagnosis and treatment, but they have not made any better. I thought it would get better after the first month. Unexpectedly, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes. Hui Niang's condition is as serious as every day. Gradually, Hui Niang drinks more medicine than she eats every day.

Since my mother fell ill, the affairs of the whole Yan family naturally fell on the shoulders of Qiaoyu and Youlin. Although he is only one year older, Qiaoyu's excellence is unmatched by Youlin. Whenever there is a big event, Qiaoyu must think carefully and consider carefully. After half a month, Youlin took the initiative to decentralized power and assisted by herself. It's hard for this 16-year-old child to get up early and deal with endless family affairs every day, and also care about his mother's condition. In less than four months, Qiaoyu lost a lot of weight and could no longer spare time to go to the nunnery to see her master.

Although Hui Niang is ill, she can see all this. Naturally, I feel sorry for it, but it's a pity that my body is getting worse day by day. When the mother and daughter don't see each other, they both think about each other, miss each other, and occasionally secretly shed a few tears. But as soon as they met, they all asked happily, and they didn't want the other party to see their worries at all.

The days were so delayed to March. After eating the prescription prescribed by Dr. Yu, a famous doctor from Nanjing, Hui Niang's condition improved a little. I don't cough and wheeze all night. The family was slightly relieved.

On the tenth day of March, just after Mao, Qiaoyu woke up. Lying in ** thinking about what's on your mind.

"My mother's medicine should be finished in four days, and it's time to send someone to Nanjing to invite Dr. Yu today. My mother is too bitter. Although she never mentions it, she must be thinking about her father. Thinking of her father, Qiaoyu was more worried. It's been ten years! They only knew that their father was awarded the title of Duke of Guizhou and was stationed far away in Yunnan. Later, there was no news from their father.

After breakfast, Qiaoyu went to Youlin's room to find her. She was about to go to the backroom where she usually handles affairs. Qiaoyu's maid Lily hurried in. After saluteing the two ladies respectfully, he said with a smile, "Go back to the two ladies, the little man in the porter came in, and there was an old man with a crane-haired childish face on the door. He asked to meet Miss Qiaoyu. He also said that he and Miss Qiaoyu had an old acquaintance in Peiping.

Qiaoyu was suddenly confused and asked Lily with a smile, "This is strange! Where do I know an old man with crane hair and childish face, or an old acquaintance?

You Lin guessed, "Could I know my aunt when I was in Peiping? Maybe my sister was still young at that time and didn't remember this master?"

"It's possible!" Qiaoyu said with a smile, "Lily, go and tell the message boy and invite the old man to the front hall first. I'll be right there." Lily answered and went to the front. Qiaoyu turned his head and said to Youlin, "sister, you go to the back hall first. I'll go to the front hall to meet this old acquaintance.

"Okay! Sister!" Youlin took her personal maid Xianglan and left first.

Qiao Yu walked to the front hall doubtfully. On the way, I met a lily who came back to welcome me. The two walked all the way talking and laughing.

The old man sitting on the chair in the main hall of the front hall is indeed a crane-haired childlike face. The hair, beard and eyebrows are white, but there is no wrinkle on the face. The long eyebrows fell on the corners of the eyes, and there was a serene and kind look between the eyebrows. In sharp contrast to this, it is also an impressive pair of eyes of the old man, which are deep and divine, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe them as eagle eyes.

Qiaoyu's heart tightened, and she was a little nervous and didn't dare to look directly into the old man's eyes. He saluted respectfully, and the old man also returned the salute with a smile. After the guest seated, Qiaoyu asked the old man with a smile, "I don't know what the old man is called? Qiaoyu is stupid. Please let the old man make it clear.

The old man brushed his long bead and said with a smile, "It's normal for the young lady not to remember the old man. When the lady was pregnant with the young lady, she was old and old. At that time, she also gave the young lady the word 'jade'. I just don't know how your wife is doing recently?

When it comes to what happened in those years, Qiaoyu has guessed that the person in front of her may be the 'old fairy' mentioned by her mother. So he stood up and saluted again respectfully. It turned out that the old fairy has arrived!"

The old fairy stood up with a smile, "Miss, how polite! It's just old!"

"My mother has been infected with a cold recently for five months. Although she has improved a little, she has not been very good. Please also ask the old immortal to treat his mother.

"The old man came here for this!"

"Oh! That's great!" Qiaoyu made a gesture of invitation with a smile. Lily led the way in front of her. Qiaoyu accompanied the old fairy all the way to the courtyard where Hui Niang lived.

Hui Niang has also got up and taken medicine and breakfast. At this moment, he is leaning against Luohan** to read the Buddhist scriptures. Lily entered the house and explained the whole thing to Xuezhu, who was standing beside him.

Xuezhu knows the old immortals. He walked out of the door with joy and saw the old man standing in the courtyard. He knelt on his knees excitedly and said with a crying voice, "Old fairy, it's good for you to come!" Please diagnose my young lady's pulse quickly!"

Qiaoyu and the old fairy were shocked by the snow bamboo. The old fairy smiled and leaned down and picked up the kneeling snow bamboo. "The girl's words are heavy. Take me to see your wife."

Xue Zhu wiped his tears and led the old fairy into the house. Hui Niang heard that she was an old immortal, and there were tears in her excited eyes. It was very kind to see the old immortals.

"Old fairy, please forgive me! It's not convenient for me to salute you." Hui Niang said apologetically, "It's been more than ten years, and I didn't expect us to meet again!"

"Madam, don't be polite! When you were sick, you came here. Can you let the old man take the pulse for his wife?" Hui Niang nodded gratefully, served by Xue Zhu, and asked the old fairy to take his pulse.

The people in the room held their breath nervously. The old fairy closed his eyes slightly, but there was no expression on his face. After half a cup of tea, he withdrew his hand and said to Hui Niang with a smile, "Madam, you should relax, and the disease will naturally be cured. I'll make a prescription."

"You've got it!" Hui Niang thanked with a smile.

The old fairy quickly walked to the yard, and Qiaoyu and Lily followed. The old fairy said in a low voice, "Miss, this is not the place to talk."

Qiaoyu's heart tightened and replied, "Please follow me." With that, he led the old fairy to the small study next to the front hall. Leaving Lily to guard the door, Qiaoyu pushed the door open and invited the old immortal in.

After sitting down, Qiaoyu asked respectfully, "Old fairy, I don't know how my mother's illness is? What's the recipe for the old immortals? Please make it clear to the old immortals!"

The old fairy replied with some regret, "Madam's illness is because of years of lovesickness. This time I feel cold, so I'm so sick. That's one of them. The residual poison of the early years has not dissipated. After a long time, it has consumed the true qi of the liver and kidney. This is the second. I'm afraid my wife won't be able to delay April. I'll open a calming prescription for my wife to eat.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu endured her grief, stood up and saluted deeply, "Qiao Yu, thank you, the old immortal!"

The old fairy also stood up, took out a delicate small box from his arms, and handed it to Qiaoyu with both hands. Inside the box is a piece of incense, which is too domineering to be used easily. But please be sure to take it with you. This Xiang Kebao Miss turns bad luck into good luck and good luck in death!"

Qiao Yu silently took the box, thanked it again, and then put it in her sleeve. I carefully thought about the words of the old fairy in my heart and suddenly found the problem. He asked urgently, "Old fairy, what do you mean by the remnants of the poison in the early years?"

The old fairy said quietly, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask your father!" Say goodbye!" He put down this sentence and left.
