Prayer for good fortune
Pray for good fortune
Yin Ruofei hastily ran into the mansion, from the main gate to the inner courtyard was a considerable distance, Yin Ruofei didn't even have time to wipe the sweat on his face, and he ran all the way to Fushouyuan.
The little girls outside the door saw that it was Seventh Master and didn't dare to stop him, so they quickly helped to roll up the cotton door curtain and let him in.
There were quite a few people in the house, Yin Haicheng, Xiao Linshi, and several other brothers and sisters. An elderly man was taking the pulse of an old lady.
Yin Ruofei didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly gasped for air as he stood to one side. Yin Haicheng glanced at him before bowing his head slightly towards the old man who had just withdrawn his hand, "Grandmaster Sun, you see..."
"Your Lordship, I'm afraid this humble official is truly powerless."
"What... could Doctor Sun have seen as the illness?" Yin Haicheng hastily turned around.
"Alas." Sun Taiyi's face turned slightly red as he shook his head, "I really don't know, this kind of pulse condition, I've never seen it before. Why don't I go back and report to Taishan Zhang and have someone come to take a look at the old lady?"
"Very well, I've troubled you, Doctor Sun." Yin Haicheng's face was filled with disappointment, but he said no more, presenting the silver and sending the doctor on his way.
Most people in the house followed Ta Yi and others with their eyes, while Yin Ruofei rushed to the side of the old lady. "Grandma..."
The old lady saw the small face full of sweat, her eyes moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word. However, Yin Ruofei felt some tightening when he held the old lady's hand.
"Fei'er." Yin Haicheng turned around, saw his little son kneeling in front of his mother's bed with a sorrowful face, and felt a pang in his heart. "Everyone withdraw, let the old man rest quietly."
Kobayashi wanted to say something, but in the end didn't say it, and followed his two sons out of the house. The others also quietly retreated, leaving only Yin Ruofei still kneeling beside the old lady's couch.
"Fei Er." Yin Haicheng hadn't seen his youngest son for many days either, as he had been busy with government affairs. However, from time to time, he would hear his eldest son mention this younger brother, saying that he was clever and studious, willing to endure hardships, and had already mastered the previous fist techniques. Now, he had also learned many sword moves, truly showing great aptitude.
Although Yin Haicheng rarely saw this son, he was not unfamiliar with him. At this moment, seeing the two lines of tears on his face, he couldn't even say words of comfort and could only let him get up first. The old lady also struggled to lift her hand, indicating that he should get up, and Yin Ruofei had no choice but to move a small bamboo stool and sit beside the old lady.
The father and son remained silent, one sat down to comfort his grandmother's chest, the other looked at the pair with a sad face. It wasn't until dusk when Biyue brought over a bowl of thin porridge that the two showed any signs of life.
"I'll feed you." Yin Ruofei wanted to take over Bimonth's bowl, but was snatched away by Yin Haicheng.
"Let me do it." Biyu and Bimonth nodded and helped out beside him.
Yin Ruofei stood behind several people, his face expression changing unpredictably. He had just taken the opportunity to take the old lady's pulse, and in his previous life, he had also taken advantage of the pharmacy owner's absence to learn how to take pulses from his master. Sometimes when he encountered neighbors who didn't know much about medicine, he would also give them a pulse diagnosis, not saying anything profound, but for some common illnesses, he was still confident.
But he just took out the pulse condition, and it's really hard to see what's going on.
Judging from the pulse, it's steady and strong, and there doesn't seem to be any illness. If he didn't know his grandmother was sick, he would have thought she was being deceived. But looking at her uncomfortable appearance, he became even more anxious. Although he only lightly touched her chest with his hands, in fact, he had already secretly pressed some acupoints, but because of his small size and weak strength, the effect wasn't very obvious.
But this way is also good, the old lady feels a little more comfortable, but she won't be suspicious.
A bowl of porridge was slowly fed, the sky had darkened, Biyu Bimonth encouraged Hou Ye to return and rest, Yin Haicheng looked at Yin Ruofei, wanting to call him to leave together, Yin Ruofei shook his head, indicating that he wanted to stay. Yin Haicheng looked at his expression, but couldn't bear to force him to leave, nodded in agreement, instructed the old lady and two maids to take good care of him before leaving.
Zhang's mother came in with a curtain, followed by two other maids, "Bi Yue Bi Yu, you go serve the Seventh Master for dinner first, I'll keep watch here."
"Mother Zhang, I'll just eat here, something simple is fine."
"Seventh Master, to say something that should be scolded, you're still young, and if you keep torturing yourself like this, you'll end up ruining your health. I, Zhang Mama, can't bear it, doesn't the old mistress feel heartbroken too?" Zhang Mama said, tears falling from her eyes. "The old mistress can't say anything now, but at this moment, she's even more heartbroken for Seventh Master."
"Zhang Mama..." Yin Ruofei looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes, her nose sour and her voice choked, "Grandma, I'll go get something to eat, I'll be back soon."
This meal was the most unpalatable one Yin Ruofei had after his rebirth. He thought that he had been reborn for a lifetime, but he still couldn't do anything about his grandmother's serious illness. It was a waste that he had secretly learned medicine. If his master knew how useless he was, he would definitely scold him again... Wait!
Yin Ruofei suddenly lifted his head, startling Biyu and Bimonth who were waiting for him to eat and also eating a bit themselves.
"Seventh Grandfather?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Yin Ruofei shook his head and forced himself to calm down. The matter of finding his master couldn't be mentioned yet; he was expelled from the Hou Mansion four years ago, and now it was hard to say whether his master was still there or not. He didn't want to give everyone hope only to have them disappointed again.
"Bixi, today those who came to see grandma's illness are all from those medical halls?"
"There's Song Nian Tang, Sheng Shou Tang, Gui Zhen Tang, and also Shan Ren Tang. Then there's Imperial Physician Sun as well. Unfortunately, none of them can figure out what illness the old lady has."
"Is there a Baicao Hall in the east of the city?"
"This one, no... " Biyu thought for a moment and shook her head decisively. "Is the doctor of Baicao Hall very formidable?"
"I've heard it's quite capable." Yin Ruofei didn't know if his master was in the capital at this time, and he had never heard of Baicao Hall before, but now he could only say so.
"Then..." Biyu and Bimonth exchanged a glance, and they both had an idea.
"Let's send someone to invite the doctor from Baicao Hall to take a look." Yin Ruofei glanced at the expressions of the two women, knowing that they had already believed him, and spoke smoothly.
The two women nodded hastily and went out to inform Zhang's mother, sending a servant boy to invite people.
"Mother Zhang hesitated and walked into the side room, 'Seventh Master, who told you this?'"
"Hmm, one of my classmates happened to mention that the medical skills are not bad. Zhang's mother, since it's already like this, why don't we just invite a famous doctor without being too particular? Who knows, maybe one of them can cure grandma's illness."
Mrs. Zhang felt it was not right, but at this time even the imperial physician in the palace had no way to deal with it, so she could only do so, beckoning a small servant from the courtyard, suddenly feeling uneasy, and personally went to find Lord Hou, planning to go out of the mansion to ask for Dr. Baicao Hall.
Yin Ruofei was anxious at home, not knowing what the outcome would be. Half an hour later, Zhang's mother returned with a tired look on her face. Yin Ruofei got up to ask her, and Zhang's mother said that Baicao Hall originally had a doctor in charge, but he had already returned to his hometown half a month ago, and there was no one in charge at the moment.
Yin Ruofei sat down absent-mindedly, her heart as cold as ice.
For three days, Yin Ruofei was exhausted and haggard, but no matter how hard Zhang's mother and others tried to persuade her, she refused to give up. Yin Haicheng was also at a loss, waiting for the imperial physicians to come up with a solution. Fortunately, although Old Lady Yin's condition had not improved significantly, she seemed more spirited than before, which gave everyone some comfort.
At the same time, another thing was happening in the mansion.
Ze's intention to choose a companion somehow spread throughout the mansion, and all the aunties rushed to cry and complain to Lord Hou, which made Yin Haicheng, who was already in a bad mood, fly into a rage and severely scolded Liu Yiniang.
Liu Yiniang cried and shook her head, saying it wasn't she who spread the rumor, but Yin Haicheng was annoyed and didn't bother to listen to her explanation. Instead, he said that since everyone had their own opinions, they might as well let Ze Qinwang choose for himself, so as not to be accused of being biased.
As soon as this was said, everyone except Liu Niang was secretly delighted. Except for the eldest son being a bit older, the other sons were all of suitable age, and naturally they would dress up well to wait for Prince Ze to choose someone.
Mrs. Liu held her son's hand, speechless with tears, and the mother and son both knew that they had been calculated by others, only they knew that Jin Qinxin was the person chosen by Master Hou, but now she could only compete with her brothers together.
Kobayashi smiled and listened to the maids' reports on the reactions of each court, while adjusting her hair.
There was an old woman outside the door asking to see her, Cai Xiu took a look and quickly let her in.
"Are you from the Xigui household?"
"Returning to Madame, Xiaodi is indeed from the Joyful Family." The old woman looked around and saw no one, then leaned in close to Xiaolin's ear and whispered a few sentences.
"Alright, go back to your master and tell him everything is fine on my end." Mrs. Kobayashi instructed someone to bring out a few boxes of sweets and some loose silver coins. "These are for you, if anyone asks, just say you came to pick up the newly made hairpiece for your mistress."
Kobayashi handed over the goods, and Cai Xiu hastily took out a box made of high-quality sandalwood that had been prepared earlier and handed it over. Inside was indeed the headdress that Kobayashi had promised to give to He.
After the others left, only Xiaolin and Cai Xiu were left in the house. Xiaolin couldn't help but clap her hands with joy, "This is indeed a blessing from heaven! I didn't expect all these good things to happen at once."
Thinking of Lao Furen's illness, Ze Wang's reading companion candidate and tomorrow's upcoming event, Xiao Lin couldn't bear the joy in her heart anymore, and burst out laughing.
Yin Ruofei felt that her eyelids were jumping as soon as she got out of bed. After taking a look, her grandmother's spirit was still okay, and she put her mind at ease.
After practicing boxing with Jin Yuan for two rounds, they had dinner together. Jin Yuan reminded him to take a nap and not overwork himself, Yin Ruo Fei nodded in agreement. As for Mr. Sun's side, he has been absent for many days and doesn't know if Mr. Sun will be angry with him or not.
"Seventh Master, the second mistress wants to go to Foguang Temple to pray for blessings and make wishes for the elderly mistress. Does Seventh Master want to go?" Cai Xiu carefully chose her words, "I heard that Foguang Temple is particularly efficacious, many people go there to seek peace and safety for their loved ones, it's just that one needs to have faith for it to work. The second mistress thinks that with the power of the crowd, it will..."
"Okay, I'll go."
The author has something to say: Don't force me!!
You guys really won't come out unless I speak up.
One sells Meng, then the message is at least 4 times more than when not speaking... Usually after finishing reading, it's easy to leave a comment, cry!
Although I'm cute, there will always be a day when you get tired of me. Waaah, at that time, my charm fades, your love wanes, and I'll be abandoned in that desolate corner...
Alas, I can think of my miserable life...
Besides, as an attacker, how can I say so much?
What I'm best at is using eye contact to hint...
