Chapter 156 Visiting Pei Mansion

Half of the moon's head was hidden under the eaves, and the night wind passed through the gaps between the plum branches, making the medical books drying in front of the window rustle.

After a long time, Miao Liangfang spoke and looked at Lu Chen with doubts.

"Xiao Lu, why are you asking this?"

Lu Yan was silent.

That day, she saw Qi Yutai's medical records in the hospital's medical warehouse.

Qi Yutai had already passed the age of 18, but there were very few records in the medical records, perhaps because he had been in good health for many years. However, late at night five years ago, he asked Cui Min, the medical official's envoy, to come and treat him.

Medical records record that Qi Yutai suffered from stagnation and accumulation due to excessive liver fire, which caused internal imbalance of the internal fire. Cui Min's prescriptions were all about soothing the liver, relieving stagnation, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.

But Lu Zhuo saw that there were some other medicinal materials among them, most of which were for calming the mind and calming the mind.

Qi Yutai's medical record was extremely brief, with almost no record of the patient's condition and only a few simple sentences of results. In the nearly half a year since then, Qi Yutai asked Cui Min to consult him several times to consolidate the root cause. However, the medicinal materials used were mostly for calming and removing epilepsy.

In addition, at Si Li Mansion, Qi Yutai himself admitted that he had used Lingxi Incense to calm his nerves for many years.

Each and every one of them seems like a long-term journey to stabilize epilepsy...

However, medical records were limited, and no one else knew the secrets, so he had no choice but to go back to the medical clinic and ask Miao Liangfang for advice.

Lu Zhuo raised his eyes: "Mr. Miao, can you tell me?"

Miao Liangfang choked.

This young female medical officer is proficient in all kinds of poisons and pharmacology, and her identity is a mystery. Du Changqing has been with her for a long time and knows almost nothing about her. There is also Yin Zheng, who spends his days chatting with the neighbors on West Street. He remained tight-lipped about Lu Zhuo's affairs and didn't say a word.

She came with a secret, no one knew what she wanted to do. In less than a year since I came to West Street, I supported the medical clinic, produced and sold herbal teas, took spring exams, and entered the medical official hospital. When I finally left, I did not forget to arrange for everyone in Renxin Medical Clinic to go to their respective places in the future.

But in fact, she is only seventeen years old this year.

If he had a daughter himself, she would be at this age now.

Miao Liangfang sighed and said, "No."

Lu Tong was startled.

"Before I left the medical hospital, I had never heard that Qi Yutai suffered from epilepsy, misperception, or confusion."

He said it with certainty.

Lu Zhuo clenched his palms slightly.

No.

Those soothing herbs in the medical records and the long-term use of Lingxixiang... If you don't have this disease, why do you need long-term care?

What's more, she had felt Qi Yutai's pulse that day. It was thin and astringent, which was caused by blood deficiency and mental loss, not like taking Hanshi Powder.

Just looking at Qi Yutai's words and deeds, he is indeed no different from ordinary people.

Could it be...

Did she get distracted?

Just as he was thinking about it, Miao Liangfang's voice came to his ears: "But what you said made me think of something."

"Sir, please speak."

"When I left the medical hospital, Qi Yutai was still a half-year-old child. I didn't know much about him. But more than ten years ago, I treated Qi Yutai's mother...his mother suffered from delirium."

Lu Zhuo raised his head suddenly: "What?"

Miao Liangfang said: "That happened many years ago."

At that time, Miao Liangfang had just become the envoy of the medical official hospital.

He has outstanding medical skills and is quite popular among the royal family. He is also known as a "genius medical officer", which makes him somewhat proud. There is a senior official in the court who has a headache and often sends invitations to him. Sometimes when he is busy, not everyone can invite him.

One day Miao Liangfang received a message from Qi Qing's house.

Back then, Qi Qing was not as powerful as he is now, with one hand covering the sky. The Qi family came in a hurry. They only said that Mrs. Qi was seriously ill and asked Miao Liangfang to go and have a look.

Miao Liang conveniently picked up the medical box and hurried to Qi's house.

Mrs. Qi is Qi Qing's second wife.

In the early years of Qi Qing, there was a wife who was in poor health and died early, leaving no sons and a half daughters. Qi Qing did not marry his stepmother until he was middle-aged. She was the youngest daughter of Lord Shu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, and she was nearly twenty years younger than Qi Qing.

Miss Zhong was young and beautiful. After marrying Qi Qing, she gave birth to a son and a daughter soon after. Quite favored by Qi Qing.

Miao Liangfang met Mrs. Qi at that time.

"Mrs. Qi was very strange." Miao Liangfang recalled the scene that day. "She hid in the house and didn't want to see anyone. She looked in a daze. I checked her symptoms and felt her pulse. I saw that she had taken tranquilizing medicine in advance and was weak. , but as soon as I got close, she trembled all over and looked frightened."

At that time, Miao Liangfang felt something was wrong.

The Qi family said that Mrs. Qi was emotionally disturbed because she was frightened. The reason why she came to him may be because he thought that he had superior medical skills and could cure Mrs. Qi.

The servants of the Qi family kept watching in the room while he was performing the consultation. Later, Miao Liangfang found an opportunity to send several servants out and carefully observed Mrs. Qi, and finally noticed that something was wrong.

Mrs. Qi whispered to her side, but there was no one else around her. She also said that she heard the singer playing music and clapping happily.

Miao Liangfang was secretly shocked when he saw it.

These symptoms of delusional hearing and hallucinations are clearly delusions.

How could Mrs. Qi get hypothetical syndrome for no reason?

He didn't dare to alarm others, so he pretended to be confused and returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital, saying that he wanted to look through the medical books. Unexpectedly, the next day, someone from the Qi Mansion sent a message saying that Mrs. Qi had improved and that he no longer needed to treat her.

"Okay?" Lu Zhu frowned.

"Who knows?" Miao Liangfang sighed, "I never saw her again."

But he was young at the time, and he always cared about the patient in his heart. He was doubtful about Mrs. Qi's claims that she had recovered, so he searched through medical books and medical records in the hospital's medical library, trying to find some way to cure the hypothetical disease, until an old doctor The official found him and told him a secret about Mrs. Qi.

Lu Yan asked: "What did he say?"

"He said..." Miao Liangfang was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Mrs. Qi's mother, who died young, also committed the crime of running away screaming and acting crazy."

The loyal old medical officer patted him on the shoulder, with sincere consolation in his eyes, and told him: "Deputy Dean, please stop interfering in this matter. The medical officer's hospital is not like sitting outside. You must learn to distinguish what should be heard." , what shouldn’t be heard.”

"Some people can be cured, and some people can't."

The old medical officer returned to his hometown, leaving Miao Liangfang to think over and over again in the medical officer's hospital. Later he heard that the young Mrs. Qi became ill and died soon after. Then he was kicked out of the medical hospital, and the secret rumors of these noble families no longer had anything to do with him.

I didn't expect to hear Lu Zhuo mention it today.

Miao Liangfang looked at Lu Shun: "Xiao Lu, you ask this, but what happened to Mr. Qi?" His expression changed as he said, "Could it be that he also..."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and smiled suddenly, as if he understood something.

Her voice was very soft: "Mr. Miao also knows that if there is a relative in a family who suffers from unwieldy forgetfulness and misinformation, his children may be very likely to pass on the epilepsy, and sooner or later, they will always develop the disease. "

Miao Liang's face trembled and he asked, "Master Qi is also sick?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "Not now."

The long-lasting and expensive Anshenxixiang, the vague medical records in the medical hospital, his superficial pulse...

She understands somewhat now.

It seems that Qi Qing is very afraid that his son will follow the same path as his mother, so he has raised him cautiously and calmly since he was a child.

But Qi Yutai fell in love with Fu San.

How ridiculous.

Miao Liangfang became increasingly puzzled: "Then why did you suddenly mention this matter?"

Lu Yun had no connection with the Taishi Mansion and suddenly asked about Qi Yutai. When he was the envoy of the hospital, an old medical officer still reminded him earnestly. Now that Lu Zhu has just entered the hospital...

He didn't know what Lu Zong was going to do, but he always felt uneasy.

"Xiao Lu, you won't have any disagreements with the Grand Master's Mansion, right?"

Lu Chen raised his head, looked at Miao Liangfang and smiled.

"I just have some questions about the medical case, so I came to ask Mr. Miao. Don't worry, sir," she said calmly, "I'm just an ordinary medical officer. I'm a humble person, so what can I do?"

This is indeed true. The Qi family is so powerful that it would be difficult for a little medical girl like Lu Zhu to even meet her. There is a huge difference between them.

Miao Liangfang felt a little relieved.

"However," Lu Tong paused and then asked, "Does Mr. Miao know that Qi Yutai hates thrush?"

"Hate thrush?" Miao Liangfang was stunned: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't his father like to raise birds back then? He specially invited bird messengers to take care of them. Sometimes a bird's yearly expenses are worth more than an average person's. A family for a year is very luxurious."

Lu Chen nodded.

Also, Miao Liangfang left the medical hospital ten years ago, but Qi Yutai's medical record records that Cui Min's first consultation with him was five years ago.

At that time, Miao Liangfang was no longer the envoy of the hospital, so there was no way to know.

After talking for a while, Miao Liangfang asked about Lu Zhuo's current situation in the medical hospital. It was getting really late, so he just went back with a cane.

Lu Zhuo got up and returned to the room. Yin Zheng was packing boxes and boxes beside the bed.

Hearing the noise, Yinzheng looked back and said, "Girl, Mr. Miao has gone back?"

Lu Chen said "hmm".

"Just in time, I made you two new skirts and some silk flowers. You can try them." Yin Zheng said as she took out a few brand new dresses from the box.

Lu Chen stared at it.

Several dresses are made of good materials. Although they are not as expensive as those used by rich officials and ladies, at first glance, the craftsmanship is also very clever.

Yin Zheng smiled and said, "Tailor Ge has bought a lot of new materials into his shop in the past few months. I saw that they all suit you, so I drew the pattern myself and asked Tailor Ge to make a few of the ones with softer colors."

"...I also have two pairs of silk shoes. I bought them from Mrs. Song's shop. Girl, try them. I heard that the Medical Officer's Hospital wears the same color clothes every day. What's there to see? It's a waste of time. Show a face.”

She was chirping like a magpie, gesturing with her dress on Lu Zhu's body, with a smile on her face and in the corners of her eyes. She didn't show the slightest hint of the depression that Lu Xi had with her when he left because of a box of silver.

Thinking of the box of silver, Lu Zhuo's expression softened.

She whispered: "Why have you done so much? Do you still have enough money?"

"Enough!"

Yin Zheng's voice was full of excitement: "Shopkeeper Du is very generous with the money he has made now. Everyone's monthly salary has been increased. I spend my daily life in the hospital for food and accommodation and don't need much money. And this is not much. Well, if I wasn’t afraid that the girl would gain weight and lose weight after going to the medical hospital, and the size would be different from the past, and it would not fit properly, I would have made a few more pairs."

She measured the length of the pink rosy embroidered gauze skirt behind Lu Yan's back, and nodded with satisfaction: "Isn't the girl going to the princess tomorrow... No, is she from Miss Pei's house? Wear this new skirt then. Just in time, to save people from saying that we are all salary earners now and are reluctant to buy a new dress to wear."

Lu Tong paused.

During this ten-day break, in addition to returning to the medical clinic to see how Yizheng and the others were doing, she also had to meet Pei Yunshu.

I haven't seen Pei Yunshu and her daughter for a while, so it's time for Bao Zhu to use new medicine. Although most of the poison of "child worry" has been cured, Bao Zhu is still young and needs to continue to nurse herself back to health.

That was her original plan.

but……

Lu Chen lowered his eyes.

Apart from that, it seems that there are other things to be busy with.

…

The next morning, the sky was clear.

In Pei Mansion on Dongwu Lane, early in the morning, the sound of children crying could be heard in the yard.

The maid hurried into the house, chanting a song, picked up the little girl in the cradle and rocked her gently, while telling others to open the windows for some fresh air.

Rhododendrons were blooming all over the yard. Under the bright flowers, stood a young woman wearing a goose-yellow soft satin wide-sleeved long coat and a jade-colored skirt. She had a gentle face, beautiful eyebrows, and was particularly gentle and approachable.

Hearing the cry, the woman put down the big spoon for watering the flowers in her hand and walked straight into the house until she took the baby from the servant woman's hand. It turned out that she had peed, and she was busy changing the diaper again. She looked aside with a worried look. The two maids couldn't help laughing.

This woman is Pei Yunshu, the eldest daughter of Duke Zhaoning.

When Pei Yunshu separated from Prince Wenjun, he did not return to live in Pei Mansion. Pei Yunying bought her a house next to his own house, and Pei Yunshu moved in.

Although this house is not as luxurious as Prince Wenjun's palace, it has its own elegance and elegance. Pei Yunying also arranged a guard maid for her, and there was no shortage of manpower in the mansion. In addition, Pei Yunying was right next to the wall, so she had someone to take care of her. Pei Yunshu felt more comfortable living there than before she left the pavilion.

Mrs. Pei Jiang Wan had been here before and tactfully advised Pei Yunshu, a divorced woman, that she should go home to avoid outsiders gossiping. However, since Pei Yunying's guards threw the Pei family servants out of the door in front of Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan stopped coming.

With no one to disturb us, the day becomes much quieter. Pei Yunshu lived here with her daughter. Watching Baozhu grow up day by day, she felt more satisfied than ever.

While she was coaxing her daughter in her arms, the concierge came to report: "Madam, Doctor Lu from Renxin Medical Center is here."

Pei Yunshu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Please come in, Doctor Lu!"

As soon as Lu Zhu arrived at Pei's house, he was taken in by the maid of Pei's house.

Lu Zhuo, the maid who led the way, still remembered the fragrant figure beside Pei Yunshu.

When Pei Yunshu was induced to give birth on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Fangzi accompanied Pei Yunshu, who seemed to have been arranged by Pei Yunying. At that time, Fangzi was still suspicious and wary of Lu Chen, but now that she looks at her, she is much closer to him.

"Madam heard that Doctor Lu was coming last night, so she got up early this morning and waited." Fangzi said with a smile, "She is waiting in the yard now, and the lady has just woken up."

After walking around the porch pond and walking into the yard, he saw someone under the flower stand in the yard smiling and calling out: "Doctor Lu!"

Lu Zhuo raised his eyes.

Pei Yunshu handed the orb in her arms to the nanny beside her and said with a smile: "Finally here."

Lu Zhuo nodded: "Madam."

Pei Yunshu clapped her hand and pretended to be angry: "I called you wrong again. You didn't just say you can call me sister. You saved Baozhu's life. You have the same kindness as your parents. Why are you so angry with me?"

Then he took Lu Zhen's hand and looked at the little girl in grandma's arms: "Look, is she a lot bigger?"

Lu Zhuo looked at the swaddled baby.

Children look different every day. She still remembers Baozhu's appearance when he was just born. He was bright red and skinny, like a skinny and immature kitten. Now, only half a year old, he is already as plump, white and fat as a painted doll. She was born like her mother, with snow-white skin and big, bright black eyes. She stared at Lu Chen with curiosity.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but stretched out a hand, and Baozhu's chubby little hand also reached out and grabbed her finger, as if he was also proud of this victory, and laughed "giggling".

Lu Chen was slightly startled.

That hand was very weak.

It was soft and soft, and he held her hard and strenuously, but it was like a cat's claws brushing against the heart, and even the coldest person would be moved by it.

She has healed many people, and has seen life and death. However, perhaps because this new life is related to her, when she witnesses a tiny seed sprouting from the ground and growing vigorously, she always feels strange in her heart.

Pei Yunshu's laughter came to my ears: "Baozhu likes you very much."

Lu Yan took back his hand and looked at the baby's beautiful face: "She looks like Sister Yunshu."

The smile on Pei Yunshu's face became even bigger: "Everyone said so." She looked at Lu Huan again, thought for a while and said, "If she can be as beautiful and smart as Dr. Lu when she grows up, I will be satisfied. "

Lu Yan was ashamed: "Sister Yun Shu is joking."

"it is true."

Pei Yunshu asked her nanny to take Baozhu to the cradle to bask in the sun for a while, and she pulled Lu Shun to sit down at the small table under the flower stand: "I learned earlier that you won the first place on the red list in the spring exam, and I was very happy for you. I wanted to bring a gift. Come and congratulate me, but Baozhu is too small to be away from me, and she is too young, so I can't take her out with me, so I can only ask someone to send you a congratulatory gift."

"...But I always feel sorry for myself."

Lu Zhuo shook his head: "Sister Yunshu, there is no need to take it to heart. Besides, those gifts are already very generous."

"It can't be as good as one thousandth of your life-saving grace." Pei Yunshu said, and laughed again: "Then I just thought about it and came back to you when you have time off. Finally, I have been looking forward to the day. You will stay here today. Here, I asked the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes, which can be considered a celebration with you after such a long time, okay?"

It was hard to refuse her kindness, and Lu Zhu couldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay."

Pei Yunshu became happy, but soon, she remembered something again and turned to look behind her.

Lu Yan: "What's wrong?"

"It's strange," Pei Yunshu said: "A Ying is sleeping today. I asked someone to tell him a few days ago that we would sit down and have a meal together today. I also planned to ask him to take care of you more in the hospital."

"The Medical Officer's Court and the Palace Commander's Mansion are not far apart. When you first enter, it is inevitable that there will be unfamiliar places. He is close, so you should take care of him."

"I sent someone to call someone just now," Pei Yunshu wondered, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
