In the cabin, Yin Ping girl turned on the heater. Zhao Pan'er scrubbed Sun Sanniang's body and changed into clean clothes. Song Yinzhang stood aside with a panicked look on his face, looking a little at a loss. When Zhao Pan'er and Yin Ping girl helped Sun Sanniang lie down on the bed
Later, Song Yinzhang hurriedly asked:
"Sister, what's wrong with Sister Sanniang?"
"I don't know either. I'll ask her when she wakes up!"
After glancing at Song Yinzhang who didn't know what to do, Zhao Paner comforted him:
"Okay, you and Yin Ping go to bed, I will take care of you here!"
"Okay, thank you sister!"
After a little hesitation, Song Yinzhang went to the next cabin to rest with Yin Ping. In the middle of the night, she and Yin Ping were woken up after Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er suddenly returned from supporting Sun Sanniang who fell into the water, and then they struggled for most of the night.
In addition, she was really tired from traveling and traveling during the day, and she couldn't help but doze off.
After a while, after Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl left, Zhao Pan'er simply packed up the clothes that Sun Sanniang had changed, and then opened the wooden door of the cabin. She looked at Yuan Xudong who had been staying outside the door and greeted:
"Okay, you can come in!"
"How is Sanniang? Has she woken up?"
Yuan Xudong walked into the cabin and asked.
"No, he's still in a daze and talking nonsense, like Fu Zifang doesn't want me anymore!"
Saying that, Zhao Pan'er glanced at Sun Sanniang lying on the bed and said worriedly:
"Tell me, did something happen at Sanniang's house?"
"Don't think blindly, you will know when Sanniang wakes up!"
Yuan Xudong comforted.
At this moment, Sun Sanniang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed violently. Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er hurriedly came forward to check. Zhao Pan'er half-crouched at the head of Sun Sanniang's bed, holding her hand and saying with concern:
"Sanniang, are you awake?"
"Pan'er?"
Sun Sanniang slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Zhao Pan'er who was worried about her, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Where am I?"
"Sanniang, you scared me to death!"
Looking at Sun Sanniang who was gradually waking up, Zhao Pan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. She held Sun Sanniang's hand tightly and cried:
"What happened to you?"
"Why am I here?"
"This is on a boat. You fell into the water. We rescued you. Sanniang, why are you here and how did you fall into the water?"
Looking at Sun Sanniang who was still a little confused, Zhao Paner said softly:
"Did you slip up, or something happened to you?"
Hearing this, Sun Sanniang's eyes gradually turned from confusion to clarity. Suddenly, she suddenly sat up from the bed and cried loudly:
"Pan'er, Fu Xingui divorced me, and Zifang no longer wanted me as his mother. I drove the carriage overnight to go back to my parents' house in Deqing. When I returned to the village, I saw that my parents' house had collapsed a long time ago. I felt
, I feel like I have nothing left.
I just, I jumped into the river. Fu Xingui lied to me and said that he adopted Zifang out as a cover, so I believed it. I didn’t expect that I would find out that he had an affair with Mr. Tao. This pair of adulterers
Whore, they have been together for at least half a year, and they still refused to admit it even to death. Fu Xingui also said that I was jealous, arrogant, disrespectful to my husband, and slandered my sister-in-law. He wrote me a letter of divorce on the spot. Of course I
Don’t obey.
The Tao family gave benefits to the clan leader, so they forced me to press my fingerprints. Later, Zifang also jumped out, but he said that his father and Tao family were absolutely innocent, saying that Tao family treated him very well and that I was not good.
, said that I usually only beat and scold the father and son, forcing him to study hard, and said that I was not a good mother. He said that he hated me, and that he would rather have Mrs. Tao as his mother than me.
I gave birth to my son after two days of dystocia. When I was poor, I would rather faint from hunger than to deprive him of his food. He, he said he didn’t want me anymore. He said he didn’t want me anymore.
My own biological son actually only recognizes Mrs. Tao as his mother, so what’s the point of my life?”
After listening to Sun Sanniang talking a lot intermittently, it took Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er a while to figure out what was going on. It turned out that Sun Sanniang's husband Fu Xingui was greedy for the widow Tao's property, had an affair with her, and even gave away his own
His biological son was adopted by Mrs. Tao, but Sun Sanniang refused, so he deceived Sun Sanniang. As a result, Sun Sanniang discovered his affair with Mrs. Tao. Fu Xingui became angry and wanted to divorce Sun Sanniang on the spot. Sun Sanniang refused, but Mrs. Tao did not.
After bribed the Fu clan leader, all the Fu clan members helped Tao and Fu Xingui, forcing Sun Sanniang to put their fingerprints on the divorce letter.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Sun Sanniang's biological son Fu Zifang jumped out. He helped his father Fu Xingui and Tao to criticize Sun Sanniang. He also testified that his father and Tao had no affair, and that Tao treated him extremely badly.
Well, Sun Sanniang can only beat and scold him, she is not a good mother.
For a moment, Sun Sanniang felt discouraged, so she put her thumbprint on the divorce letter and left the Fu family alone. She wanted to go back to her parents' home in Deqing. She drove the carriage overnight, but as a result, there was no one at home.
Under the blow and unable to think about it for a moment, Sun Sanniang jumped into the Grand Canal. Somehow she hugged a dead tree and drifted with the current. Finally, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er saw her and rescued her.
After Sun Sanniang explained the whole story clearly, Zhao Pan'er sat on the bedside, hugged Sun Sanniang who was crying and comforted her softly:
"Why are you boring? Your name is Sun Sanniang, not just Fu Zifang's mother. You are a righteous and kind-hearted person. You make good fruits, good dishes and good soups. The neighbors all know that you are virtuous, kind and charitable. Besides, there is no one in this world.
I also watched Zifang grow up as a child who didn’t recognize his parents. When a child in his teens is most playful, I think it’s probably Tao who coaxed him with something delicious and fun.
That’s why I said those stupid things!”
In fact, Zhao Pan'er also knew that Fu Zifang had a naughty nature and was not an innocent and kind-hearted boy. But in front of Sun Sanniang, she could only say good things about him. However, Sun Sanniang was not a fool. Although she loved her son Fu Zifang, she also
She knew his nature, but she never expected that her biological son could say such heartless words. She felt desperate, and Sun Sanniang said with despair:
"No, what Zifang said was not out of anger. He really hates me. He hates that I force him to study hard. He hates that I always say that I will wait for him to earn me a crown of flowers. He is just like his father.
They are all heartless, and I am also at fault. I must have done something wrong in my previous life, and God will punish me like this in this life!"
Yuan Xudong watched from the side, while Zhao Pan'er tried to comfort Sun Sanniang, trying to calm her down, but Sun Sanniang became more and more agitated and cried Dabei:
"That Fu Xingui, when he married me, he was so poor that he couldn't even pay the bride price. It was me. I killed pigs for others every day, and I saved up coins one by one for him. I saved them for two years.
I just collected enough money, and I gave it all to him as the capital for his business. Now that he is rich, he has become ruthless and ungrateful. He has forgotten how I spent two years killing pigs for others.
Really? Why did I marry him in the first place and give him such a curse? I knew I was here to suffer in this life, so why am I still alive?"
Looking at Sun Sanniang who started to gasp violently as she spoke, Yuan Xudong walked straight to her and gave her a light blow on the side of the neck. Sun Sanniang couldn't help but stop and looked at him blankly. Zhao Pan'er next to her also looked at her.
Xiang Yuan Xudong asked doubtfully:
"What are you doing?"
"It's okay, you continue!"
Yuan Xudong retracted his hand in embarrassment. Sure enough, movies and TV shows are all lies. Shouldn't a slap in the neck cause him to faint?
As if he had guessed Yuan Xudong's thoughts, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but give him a roll of eyes and said:
"Are you stupid? If you hit someone on the neck to make someone unconscious, a light hit will be useless, but a hard hit will be dangerous. How can you be like this?"
"Didn't I try too hard?"
"Fool!"
Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yuan Xudong again. Although Yuan Xudong didn't really knock Sun Sanniang unconscious, he still made her quiet down. She just sat on the bed and muttered something. She looked like she was crazy and stupid.
Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"No, Sanniang looks like she has lost her soul. She is also suffering from the cold. She needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. When the ship docks tomorrow, we will take her off the ship to see the doctor, okay?"
"Okay, I'll let Xiao Li and the others go back to Tokyo with their luggage first. When Sanniang is well, we can hurry back, okay?"
"Okay, thank you Fan Lang!"
One night passed, the sun rose in the east, and Master Zheng's merchant ship docked at the wharf of Huating County. Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er found Master Zheng and spent a few taels of silver to help them find a carriage. Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang, Yin Ping Yatou, and
Sun Sanniang, who was suffering from dementia and was ill, disembarked from the merchant ship. Xiao Yan was responsible for accompanying her, while Xiao Li was responsible for taking the boxes and cages of Zhao Pan'er and others back to Tokyo to wait.
After getting off the merchant ship, Yuan Xudong helped Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, Yin Ping Yatou, and Sun Sanniang get on the carriage in turn. He was the last one to board the carriage. Xiao Yan, the attendant in black, sat in front of the carriage and whispered to the coachman to rush to the nearest
's medical clinic.
The carriage bumped, but fortunately the journey was not far. After a while, the carriage rented by Yuan Xudong stopped in front of a medical clinic called Tai'antang. The driver smiled and said:
"Your Excellency, Tai'an Hall has arrived. This is the best medical center here. It can cure all diseases and bring you back to life!"
"Okay, you wait here, we may need this carriage for a few more days!"
"Okay, the little one is waiting for you here!"
Yuan Xudong got off the carriage and gave the driver a small piece of broken silver as a reward. Amidst the latter's thanks, Yuan Xudong took Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, Yin Ping girl, and Sun Sanniang into Tai'antang Medical Center. Xiao Yan
I followed at the end and entered the medical center. What I saw were two plaques "Miaoshou Rejuvenation" and "Xuan Hu Ji Shi". I don't know how good Tai'antang's medical skills are, but this store is quite good. It occupies a large area and has convenient transportation.
, there are indeed many people who come here to seek medical advice.
In the hospital, after waiting for a while, the doctor examined and treated the stupid Sun Sanniang and said:
"The soul-leaving syndrome caused by great compassion, the heart and spleen are weak, naturally the heart has nothing to rely on, and the spirit has nowhere to go. I will give her acupuncture treatment now!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Pan'er looked at the doctor at Taiantang and thanked him. Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang, and Yin Ping girl, who didn't understand Chinese medicine at all, were standing aside, watching the old doctor give acupuncture to Sun Sanniang, who was like a wooden figure. After some treatment, Sun Sanniang was indeed energetic.
Quite a few.
After the treatment, Zhao Paner paid the consultation fee, and the old doctor who performed acupuncture on Sun Sanniang gave her another prescription and said:
"You should pay attention to two things after you go back. First, rhino horn was originally used in this recipe, but it is too expensive and I don't have it here. If you want the patient to recover as soon as possible, you should go to Guiyuantang on West Street to buy it.
Rhino horn is the best!”
"Rhino horn?"
Hearing the doctor talk about rhino horns, Zhao Paner frowned slightly and said:
"How much does that cost?"
After taking a look at Zhao Paner, the doctor thought for a while and said:
"For seven days, at least twenty strings will be required!"
"Twenty strings?"
Yuan Xudong was shocked. This ancient doctor's pattern was not good. It only cost 20 yuan, but it was enough for seven days. Is this too expensive?
With this in mind, Yuan Xudong took out a five-tael gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan, the black-clothed guard who had been following him, and ordered:
"Xiao Yan, go buy some rhino horns and come back!"
"yes!"
Xiao Yan took the gold ingot and walked out of Tai'antang. Seeing Yuan Xudong being so generous, the doctor was also very happy and said:
"The second thing is that this disease is most susceptible to movement by wind, and the patient has suffered some wind and cold. When you leave here, you'd better find an inn to stay. At least you have to use up the seven days' worth of medicine!"
"Seven days? What if we are in a hurry?"
Zhao Pan'er asked.
"It's hard to say whether this lady is alive or dead!"
After glancing at Zhao Pan'er who was a little worried, the doctor from Taiantang looked at Yuan Xudong who was not short of money and recommended:
"If you want the patient to recover as soon as possible, you should go to the Yuelai Inn on East Street. The environment there is the most suitable for patients to rest!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at the old doctor who provided such attentive service, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Then how much will it cost in total if I want to stay for seven days?"
"Ahem~~"
Looking at Yuan Xudong with a joking expression, the old doctor from Taiantang coughed, cleared his throat and said:
"The rooms in the Yuelai Inn are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. I think the young master is rich, so I think he will stay in the best room. If you want to stay in the upper room, you should stay at least the same every day!"
"Okay, then stay at Yuelai Inn!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong agreed, the old doctor left with a happy face and went to receive the next patient. Looking at the smiling Yuan Xudong and the doctor from Taiantang who had just left, Zhao Pan'er reacted somewhat and said:
"He, is he a doctor from Tai'an Hall, Guiyuantang, or someone from Yuelai Inn?"
"Who knows?"
Yuan Xudong smiled nonchalantly. Anyway, it was only a few dozen copper coins or a few taels of gold, so there was no need to worry about it!
After a while, Zhao Pan'er grabbed the medicine, and Xiao Yan also bought some rhino horns. Yuan Xudong left Tai'antang with Zhao Pan'er and others. After getting on the carriage again, he looked at the coachman Wang Er and said with a smile:
"Wang Er, which is the best inn here?"
"Your Excellency, the best inn here is the Yuelai Inn on East Street. The rooms there are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. I think the young man is rich and noble, so I think he will stay in the best room. If you have an upper room, you will pay for it every day.
At least it must be consistent!”
Hearing the same words spoken by Wang Er and the doctor from Taiantang, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but laugh:
"Okay, let's go to Yuelai Inn first and have a look. Let's go!"
"Okay, noble man, sit tight and let's go!"
With a cry of joy, the coachman drove the carriage towards the Yuelai Inn on East Street. Within a moment, a bright red and rather impressive three-story brick and wood building appeared in front of Yuan Xudong. The large signboard was particularly eye-catching. It was "Yuelai Inn".
