Chapter 120 Entering Pei's House, Xie Ling Treats Illness
The young man had a gentle look on his face. "Madam, are you from Qinghe? Do you have any documents?"
Pei shook her head, "There is no document..."
The young man frowned. "Well, do you still remember your family's name? I can send someone to ask for you. People who are not from Qinghe cannot enter Qinghe County."
Pei was about to speak when Chen Daoyu came over with a cold look in his eyes. "Madam Gu, we are all exiled prisoners now. It's not appropriate for you to go and look for your relatives, right?"
Pei was stunned.
Xie Ling came over and stood in front of Pei, saying, "It will take a long time to go to Jeju without going through Qinghe. Mr. Chen, you should think about it carefully."
Pei's mind, which had been scattered due to excitement, gradually came back to its original state. She said in a cold voice, "I just used my identity to enter Qinghe. Besides, filial piety comes first in Beijiang. As a daughter of the Pei family, shouldn't I go and visit Qinghe when I pass by?"
Chen Daoyu narrowed his eyes.
It’s not that people from Qinghe can’t enter Qinghe, but if he wants Pei to recognize him, he’s afraid that they will escape through Pei’s house…
Chen Daoyu rubbed his temple.
I thought the Pei family wouldn’t be so blatant, right?
If the Gu family disappears in Qinghe, the Beijiang court will first look for the Pei family!
If you don’t go through Cheongha to Jeju, it will take at least half a month, and the journey is full of deep mountains and forests, and full of wild animals.
And that plan is about to be implemented and cannot be delayed.
Chen Daoyu came back to his senses and smiled, "How could that be? It's natural for Madam Gu to visit her relatives, and we still have to rely on you to enter Qinghe County."
Pei nodded slightly and gracefully.
The young man at the side waited until the conversation was over before he said hastily, "Exiled prisoner, the daughter of the Pei family... Madam, may I ask if you are the eldest daughter?"
Although Pei has been married for many years, people in Qinghe County are still used to calling her the eldest lady.
Pei nodded, "Yes."
The young man's eyes widened, his face full of excitement, but he managed to maintain his dignified demeanor and said, "Welcome back to Qinghe, Miss. I'll go and tell you right away!"
In just a moment, a group of majestic people hurried over from the main street.
Leading the group was an elderly lady with dignified manners, her hair as white as silver, she was dressed in a moon-white long coat and had her hair tied up in an elegant bun. Even though she was over sixty years old, she still looked graceful and elegant.
As soon as Pei saw her, her eyes became moist and she called out "Mother" in a trembling voice.
Old Madam Pei's dignified demeanor could no longer be maintained. She showed some of the heartache of an old mother and touched Madam Pei's face with trembling hands.
"Yueqing, I never thought you would pass by Qinghe..."
The mother and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Madam Pei resumed her elegant demeanor and ordered, "Take all these people to the old house and settle them down properly."
As soon as he finished speaking, several servants in blue and white double-breasted robes came over and led the exile team to Pei Mansion.
Walking into Qinghe County, everyone discovered that the prosperous streets and densely populated areas of Qinghe County were completely different from other places in Beijiang.
There are many rivers in Qinghe County, with countless tall buildings standing along the rivers, surrounded by misty waves and the sound of flutes and pipes.
Thousands of gauze lanterns are hung on the peach and willow trees along the bank, creating a prosperous scene with elegant ladies in fine clothes.
On the way, Madam Pei first looked at Ru Jie'er and Li Ge'er, and finally came to Gu Wei and said distressedly: "Grandma's darling Shi Jin, it's a good thing you recovered, otherwise grandma's old bones really couldn't bear it."
The maid at the side continued, "When the news of the young master's serious illness first came, the old lady couldn't eat or sleep well, which made us servants very anxious."
Gu Wei lived in Qinghe for a period of time when he was a child, and had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Pei and Mr. Pei.
Among all the descendants of Mrs. Pei, Gu Wei is the one she loves the most.
Gu Wei said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, grandma. Shi Jin is fine now thanks to Madam's treatment."
Old Madam Pei turned her gaze to Xie Ling who was standing beside her. She saw that although the girl was young, she had a good temperament and manners, clear eyes, and was graceful and generous. She knew at first glance that she was a good girl.
She smiled kindly and amiably, "Good boy, you are so pretty, you are a perfect match for my Shi Jin."
Xie Ling said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Grandmother, for the compliments. Gu Wei often talked about you in my ear, saying that you are dignified and kind, and you love him very much. I have always wanted to meet you, and now I have met you, and it is just as he said!"
Madam Pei smiled from ear to ear and tapped Xie Ling's pretty nose, "What a sweet little mouth!"
Xie Ling just has a cold personality, but that doesn't mean she has no emotional intelligence.
Will people who come out in the last days have simple lives?
Xie Ling learned the skill of speaking differently to different people when she was only seven or eight years old.
As long as she wants, she can make everyone happy.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards Pei's residence.
It attracted countless people's attention along the way.
Everyone in Qinghe County knows what Old Madam Pei looks like.
The passers-by on the street, no matter they were peddlers or noblemen, all stretched their necks and looked around, curious about who could have been greeted personally by the honorable Madam Pei.
When they arrived at the Pei Mansion, everyone looked at the majestic and magnificent house and sighed, it was truly worthy of being a century-old family with wealth and status.
There were two lifelike stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, behind the lions were three big gates with animal heads, and in front of the gates were four or five people in gorgeous clothes and hats sitting in a row.
The main gate was not open, and only the east and west corner gates had people entering and exiting.
There is a plaque above the main gate with four large characters "嘉造?沛府" inscribed on it. They are elegant and handsome, as graceful as a startled swan or a swimming dragon.
As soon as the few people walked over, the four or five people hurried over, surrounded Gu Wei, Pei and others, and talked in a buzzing manner, gesturing at Gu Wei's height from time to time.
"Shi Jin has grown taller again."
"Shi Jin has already married."
"Do you remember your second uncle?"
……
The usually tough young man's eyes were a little warm when he saw his relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He answered each question in a gentle voice, and was extremely patient even when faced with some boring questions.
These people are Gu Wei's biological uncles or aunts.
The Pei family is small in number, with very few direct descendants. Currently, there are only three or five younger generations in the Pei mansion, and they are all young children.
When Gu Wei was a child living in the Pei family, he was the only child and the son of the eldest daughter. He was the real darling of the family.
The Pei family almost held him in their hands for fear of dropping him, and held him in their mouths for fear of melting him. They doted on him so much that they would pick the stars and the moon whenever he wanted.
Everyone in Qinghe County knows that the Pei family has a precious little master who came from the capital.
So when they heard that Gu Wei had returned, they all rushed to the gate eagerly to greet him, fearing that they would be late.
After Gu Wei met the relatives one by one, he took Xie Ling's hand without any hesitation and introduced Xie Ling's identity to them.
Seeing how Gu Wei cherished Xie Ling, everyone naturally loved her and was very kind to her.
After entering the main gate, Madam Pei asked the servants to lead all the other families of the exiled prisoners to the guest rooms.
The decoration style of Pei's guest room is consistent with that of the front yard, which is very elegant and simple.
The maids and servants were all dressed in the same blue and white long gowns, and they behaved in a well-mannered, respectful and polite manner.
The food served was also exquisite and delicious.
Therefore, the exiles were all very satisfied.
It can be said that this was the most comfortable day for everyone since their exile.
It even made some people vaguely recall the time when they were nobles in the capital.
the other side.
Gu Wei took Xie Ling to meet the people from the Pei family one by one.
Pei followed Old Madam Pei to Rong'an Hall.
After a while, Gu Wei brought Xie Ling over.
Outside Rong'an Hall, Gu Wei took out the snack box that he had kept and said in a gentle voice, "Grandma has a kind personality and likes to eat these snacks. When you give them to her later, just say you bought them."
Xie Ling agreed.
After entering, he gave it to the old lady, who was really overjoyed.
He held Xie Ling and talked to her for a while, as if he was treating her like his own granddaughter.
So, where do all the family conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come from? It all depends on how the husband handles them.
After a brief greeting, Madam Pei gave a look and sent all the servants away, leaving only Pei, Gu Wei, and Xie Ling.
Gu Wei frowned and asked softly, "Grandma, what happened to Grandpa?"
Ever since Mr. Pei didn't come to greet him, Gu Wei had already planted the seeds of doubt in his heart. Now that he finally had the chance to speak, he immediately asked.
Madam Pei seemed to have aged ten years, and all the energy and spirit in her body had been drained away. She answered slowly: "Your grandfather is sick."
Pei's body shook a little, "Father, are you sick?"
Gu Wei calmed down his mind and comforted his mother first, then said to the old lady in a firm tone: "Grandma, please relax and talk slowly. No matter what, as long as I am here, the Pei family will not fall."
Old Madam Pei heaved a long sigh, her eyes full of love, thinking that she was fortunate to have a good grandson.
Otherwise, what should the precarious Pei family do?
After expressing her feelings, the old lady spoke in a clear tone and briefly described Mr. Pei's situation these days.
After listening to this, Gu Wei looked at Xie Ling quietly.
Xie Ling nodded slightly.
Gu Wei then continued, "A Ling knows a little bit about medicine, you can ask her to take a look. She cured my illness."
Madam Pei's eyes widened in surprise. "That's great. Just follow me."
Several people walked towards the old man's yard.
Mr. Pei's courtyard is not as elegant and simple as other places in the Pei Mansion.
Instead, he had a touch of casualness and elegance. There were a few pots of flowers and plants randomly placed in the yard, and the simple blue brick house had no extra decorations, just like him, who was unrestrained and unrestrained.
But now, the old man who had always been unruly and unruly was lying on the bed, unconscious, with his eyes turned outward.
He was babbling something and no one knew what he was saying. He didn't even recognize his most beloved grandson standing in front of him.
Looking at Mr. Pei like this, Mrs. Pei had already burst into tears.
Mr. Pei loves cleanliness and manners, and has always been a proud person. When did he end up lying in bed like this?
Gu Wei, who was usually calm, also looked anxious and kept pacing back and forth beside the bed.
"How long has Grandpa been like this?"
"Alas, it has been like this for three months. I can't walk steadily, I vomit everything I eat, and I complain of headaches every day.
The old man was afraid that people outside would notice something strange about the Pei family, so he issued a ban while he was awake, not allowing outsiders to come in. I have sent someone to invite the world-famous doctor Jiang Yunzi, but I don’t know if he is willing to come…”
Madam Pei sighed.
Xie Ling, who was standing by, had been secretly observing the old man's symptoms. When she heard the name "Jiang Yunzi", her eyebrows raised slightly.
Her cheap master?
It's fate.
After Madam Pei and Gu Wei finished talking, Xie Ling walked straight over and took the old man's pulse.
Sure enough, it was pretty much what she thought.
Cerebral infarction.
This disease is difficult to cure even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.
However, we still need to carefully examine the old man's specific symptoms.
To see how much tissue has died in the cerebral hemisphere, if there are no contraindications, a decompressive craniotomy or partial brain tissue resection can be performed.
Xie Ling winked at Gu Wei.
Gu Wei understood and immediately said, "Grandma, mother, please go out to the side door and drink some tea while waiting. A Ling wants to carefully examine Grandpa's symptoms."
Madam Pei nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay."
He shook Xie Ling's hand again, his eyes gentle, "Thank you for your hard work, good child."
After the two left, Gu Wei moved the old man into the space.
In the medical warehouse, Xie Ling had already prepared a series of materials including CT, blood drawing syringes, etc.
Put on leather gloves and start the inspection.
After a short while, Xie Ling's gaze relaxed slightly.
"Not bad, not too bad, just cut off the bad tissue."
Gu Wei was the one who had read all the miscellaneous books in Xie Ling's space.
Among them were hard and thick medical books. Gu Wei read them all word for word and also gained a basic understanding of modern medical theories.
So he showed a surprised look, "Really? That's great. But it will be hard for you, A Ling."
Xie Ling waved her hand, "It's okay, your family is my family."
The words "your family is my family" made Gu Wei feel a little sweet in his heart.
He curled his lips and said "thank you" anyway.
Afraid that Mrs. Pei and the old lady would have to wait for a long time, the two of them carried the old man out as soon as they were done.
Gu Wei hurried to deliver the message.
"Mother, grandmother, A Ling said it can be cured."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.
Then he widened his eyes, pounded his chest hard, and cried, "What good fortune did our Pei family accumulate in the previous life to let my Shi Jin marry such a good wife, who first cured Shi Jin and was able to heal the old man."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xie Ling and bowed deeply to her, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, my good child. From now on, the Pei family will be your strongest support."
This sentence carries a lot of weight.
Xie Ling quickly helped the old lady up and coaxed her with gentle words for a while.
The old lady was so coaxed that her face was filled with smiles, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xie Ling was as beautiful as pearls and jade.
As he spoke, he took off the bracelet on his hand and put it on Xie Ling's hand.
"A Ling looks really good in this."
The jade bracelet is exquisite, translucent, white and bright, as pure as ice under the warm winter sun.
But it feels warm to the touch, and you can tell at first glance that it is priceless.
Xie Ling blinked and looked at her mother-in-law.
Pei nodded gently, "Since it was given to you by your grandmother, just keep it with peace of mind."
Xie Ling was not a hypocritical person, so she was too lazy to make excuses and said, "Thank you, Grandma!" with a smile on her face.
The old lady liked Xie Ling even more when she saw how graceful and elegant she was. She looked at Xie Ling with even more affectionate eyes than she did at Gu Wei.
Pei and Gu Wei were somewhat confused, but they did not show it.
This jade bracelet is a family heirloom of the Pei family, and has always been passed down to the next mistress of the family.
No matter how happy the old lady was, she would not give Xie Ling this bracelet!
Unless the Pei family intends to let Gu Wei inherit the family business.
But Gu Wei is now a criminal...
Old Master Pei is a man of quick wit and intelligence. Gu Wei and Mrs. Pei have no idea what he is planning. It seems they will have to wait until he wakes up to find out everything.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes and thought of the totem on his back.
Now that the old man is in a coma and I can’t ask him, I’ll look through the Pei family library when I have time to see if I can find the answer.
When Mrs. Pei and the old lady met, mother and daughter had endless things to talk about. As the sun set, Xie Ling and Gu Wei returned to their own courtyard.
On the way, the two discussed the current situation.
The old man's illness must be treated.
The exile team becomes a stumbling block unless they are prevented from leaving.
Xie Ling directly prepared a few bottles of medicine powder.
This powder will make people feel uncomfortable all over, which looks no different from acclimatization, but it is much more serious than acclimatization. In any case, you can't travel.
That night, Gu Wei used Qinggong to sneak into the Chen family, abandoned the group of soldiers, and the room where the exiled officials lived, and sprinkled medicine powder in the air.
What Xie Ling didn't know was that her cheap master received the letter sent by the Pei family, stroked his goat beard, thought of the Buddha wine that had been stored in Qinghe County for a hundred years, and almost immediately embarked on the journey.
Hehehe, wherever there is peerless wine, there is Jiang Yunzi!
