159. Visit at night
Shenjia Village.
In the middle of the afternoon, Xu Qingfu came to Shen Ruoxi's house: "Is there anyone there?"
When Shen Da heard his words, he put down his burden and walked back: "Qingfu is here, what can I do?"
Xu Qingfu looked at Shen Da in wonder. He had heard that Shen Da was going to die before. Not only is he not dead now, but he can still work: "Uncle Shen, I'll come to Ruohan to get flower cakes. I'll sell them to other counties tomorrow."
Shen Da likes enterprising children: "Wait a moment. Ruohan went to the county town to sell flower cakes. It should take a while before he comes back."
Xu Qingfu nodded: "Yes."
Shen Da brought a stool for Xu Qingfu to sit on, and also made him a glass of honey water: "Drink it, you should be back soon."
Xu Qingfu was a little moved: "Thank you, Uncle Shen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ruohan's cute and pretty figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, "Dad, Qingfu."
Xu Qingfu stood up: "Ruohan."
Xu Ruohan said quickly: "Sit down, I'll change my clothes and then help you pack the flower cakes." When she went to the city to sell things, she wore better clothes, and when she came back to work, she wore her old clothes.
Xu Qingfu nodded: "Sorry to trouble you."
Xu Ruohan waved his hand and went back to the room. When he came out of the room, he changed into a simple look again: "Bring the backpack, I will pack it for you."
"Okay." Xu Qingfu quickly followed Shen Ruohan to the kitchen.
Shen Ruohan specially kept a hundred flower cakes and fifty biscuits, and now gave them all to Xu Qing: "Flower cakes are two cents each, and biscuits are thirty cents a pound or one cent a piece."
Xu Qingfu read the price silently twice: "I'm leaving."
Shen Ruohan sent Xu Qingfu to the gate: "If there is no one to buy in the market, you can hang around the houses of those wealthy families. If you are lucky, you can sell a lot."
Xu Qingfu nodded: "I understand, thank you."
Xu Qinglan came back after collecting the flowers. When she saw her brother, she couldn't help but worry: "I wonder if he can sell it."
Shen Ruohan took the flowers and said, "Sister-in-law, I will try it tomorrow and we will know."
Xu Qinglan sighed: "I hope everything goes well, so that Qingfu can do some small business and earn more money to support his family."
Shen Ruohan said: "Yes."
…
Mu family.
At ten o'clock after dinner, Mr. Mu saw his grandson looking worried, so he asked with concern: "I haven't seen you for a day, where have you been today?"
Mu Liankun took a mouthful of rice and said, "I went to Gushengtang and worked as a decoction clerk in a medical clinic."
Mr. Mu: "..."
Mr. Mu looked at Mu Liankun in disbelief. He knew better than anyone how arrogant his grandson was: "Did I hear you right? You would do such a thing?"
Mu Liankun put down his bowls and chopsticks with a complicated expression: "Grandpa, I will go to work in Gu Shengtang from now on, and I will put down my posture."
After he finished speaking, he took a big mouthful of rice, as if to vent his anger.
Everyone looked at each other, what happened?
No one spoke at the dinner table after that, as they had not yet recovered from Mu Liankun's words.
After the meal was almost finished, the housekeeper came in from outside: "Sir, the eldest young master of the Tang family has come to ask you to see a doctor. He said that his sister is in critical condition. You must go there in person."
The Tang family opened a cloth shop in the county, and their business was very large. In addition to several surrounding counties, they also opened cloth shops in the capital.
In the county town, the county magistrate gave me some thin noodles.
Mr. Mu was eager to save people and nodded: "Go and prepare the medicine box. I will go to see you right away."
The butler cupped his hand and said, "Yes, sir."
After burning incense, Mr. Mu and Mu Liankun came to the Tang family together. Under the leadership of Young Master Tang, they went to Miss Tang Er's room: "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
All the Tang family members were in the room, and the room was packed.
Mr. Mu looked around the room and said, "Everyone else has gone out. It is taboo for patients to be in the same room with so many people."
Mr. Tang hurriedly asked people to go out. He walked up to Mr. Mu and said, "Old Mu, I'll leave the second child to you."
Mr. Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I will try my best." After saying that, he walked to the bed and said, "Miss Tang Er, what's wrong with you?"
The maid lifted up Miss Tang Er's sleeves and showed them to Mr. Mu: "At first, Miss Tang felt nauseated and vomited, and had a stomachache. Some small red or light red itchy patches also appeared on her skin. As the patches gradually grew larger,
In the end, it became flaky and itchy. Mr. Mu, please cure Miss."
When Mr. Mu encountered this symptom for the first time, he found it very strange and couldn't help but study it: "Has Miss Tang Er been like this before?"
The maid had goosebumps all over her body and shook her head: "Never, this looks too scary."
Mr. Mu felt the pulse of Miss Tang Er, twirling his beard and thinking about the pulse: "The pulse is rapid, like a rolling flood, and then weak, like a trickle. You are poisoned."
The maid was startled: "Poisoned? Doctor, the lady didn't eat anything except normal meals. How could she be poisoned?"
The pulse sign that Mr. Mu found was poisoning. As for the reason for the poisoning, it still needs to be explored: "Tell me everything Miss Tang Er ate today. Just tell me about dinner."
Generally, after eating something poisonous, the attack will occur within an hour. The food for lunch has long been digested and can only be eaten for dinner.
The maid told them one by one: "Bijing porridge, plum blossom cakes, sheepskin filigree, chopsticks, blue crabs, and prawns."
Many people have eaten these things, and nothing happened. Mr. Mu thought about it, feeling a little troubled: "Lian Kun, you first take out the ointment and rub it on Miss Tang Er's skin. I will prescribe some detoxification."
Give her the medicine of fire."
"Yes, Grandpa." Mu Liankun quickly opened the medicine box and took the medicine.
The maid was really worried: "Doctor, is it useful?"
It was the first time that Mr. Mu encountered such a disease. He didn't have much confidence, so he could only try again and again: "Try it first, and then change the prescription if it doesn't work."
The maid also didn't understand medical skills, so she didn't say anything more when it sounded reasonable: "Yes."
Mu Liankun gave the medicine to the maid and asked the maid to wipe Miss Tang Er's body. He took his grandfather's prescription to the medical clinic to get the medicine, and then brewed the medicine himself.
After the medicine was applied to the skin, it became less red and less itchy, and everyone thought it was getting better.
However, something went wrong while taking the medicine. Miss Tang Er couldn't drink it at all and vomited the medicine directly. Her face turned blue, her lips lost color, and her skin turned red again. Instead of relieving her condition, she aggravated her condition.
Upon seeing this, Mu Liankun suggested: "Grandpa, give her acupuncture and spit out all the food before talking."
Mr. Mu thought it made some sense. Anyway, her disease was caused by food. Vomiting it out would definitely relieve her: "Bring over the needle bag."
Mu Liankun quickly took the needle bag from the medicine box and handed it to Mr. Mu: "Grandpa."
Mu Laoer said nothing and gave Miss Tang Er an emetic injection.
The emetic needle was particularly effective. Miss Tang Er vomited so much that she vomited out everything she had eaten in the afternoon, as well as bile. At this time, her expression became even more ugly and she fainted.
