Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 201 An Awkward Conversation

The little maid Dongxiang boiled the soup and medicine, brought two bowls into the room, Su Chen took them, walked to the bed, and ordered Chunxiang to help Qingqing's neck and head, and to feed her the medicine soup.

Seeing this, Peng Zeliang frowned. He trusted Su Chen's medical skills, but he couldn't see his behavior.

"What are you doing?" Peng Zeliang asked.

Su Chen raised his head in astonishment, looked at Zhifu Peng, and replied a little strangely: "Of course it's for Qingqing...Miss Peng to feed the medicine!"

"Get out of the way, with her father here, it's not your turn to be courteous!"

Peng Zeliang walked over, snatched the spoon and porcelain bowl from Su Chen, and wanted to feed his daughter the medicine himself.

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he also felt that the prefect Peng was very dissatisfied with him, guarding him like a thief, afraid that he would get close to his daughter.

Under Chunxiang's service, Peng Zeliang personally fed decoction to the unconscious Peng Qingqing's mouth. These two bowls of medicine, one for diuretic excretion and the other for detoxification in the body, can detoxify Peng Qingqing's blood and internal organs. get rid of.

Peng Zeliang fed his daughter the liquid medicine, and unconsciously, his eye sockets became moist.Maybe it was seeing his daughter in such a miserable state of being seriously injured; maybe it was because his daughter had grown up and had her own choices; it made his heart extremely complicated, and suddenly, there was a sense of sadness and bitterness.

This is something that those who are not fathers and daughters cannot deeply understand.

"My daughter is grown up after all." Peng Zeliang sighed inwardly, fed Qingqing the medicine, stood up, and gave Su Chen a complicated and stern look, seeing that the latter was puzzled.

Su Chen explained: "In about a cup of tea, Miss Peng will feel like urinating, Chunxiang and Dongxiang, you two will serve in the house for a while. After a stick of incense, the antidote will take effect, and you may experience vomiting and convulsions. I will guard the room overnight to ensure that the detoxification is complete. Then, the detumescence of the trauma and the healing medicine of the dressing will also be carried out.”

Doctor Liu nodded and said: "Treat the snake venom first, and after the toxin is removed, other injuries can be treated, so as to avoid the conflict of the medicines and other adverse reactions."

Peng Zeliang and Bai Susu were not picky about their medical skills. Seeing that they had similar opinions and looked confident, they were less worried about Qingqing's injury.

Su Chen cupped his hands to Peng Zeliang and said, "Master Peng, it's already past midnight, how about taking a rest in the Su Mansion, waking up early tomorrow morning, and then visiting the room?"

Peng Zeliang didn't appreciate it, he shook his head and said, "No, this night, the old man must stay in the room and see Qingqing get rid of the snake poison with his own eyes, so that he is safe."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Su Chen stopped, and asked Bai Susu: "How about you, stay in Su's residence, or go back to Bai's residence temporarily?"

Bai Susu hesitated, and said: "I will stay here for the time being, and when I feel sleepy, I will take a rest in Linger's room, and I won't go back to Baifu."

"That's fine." Su Chen instructed Dongxiang to boil water and make tea, and bring it to the room.

Everyone can't stare and wait. Drinking some tea can keep people awake, get rid of sleepiness at night, and break the embarrassing situation.

After a while, Peng Qingqing's waist twisted slightly, as if she felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that she wanted to urinate.

The man avoided, and went out of the room first, while Bai Susu and the maid stayed behind to help Peng Qingqing solve the urination problem, and at the same time changed her into a clean neon skirt, and gave her the blood-stained and torn outer shirt to her. replaced.

When Su Chen, Peng Zeliang, and Doctor Liu entered the room again, they found that Peng Qingqing's clothes were brand new, her cheeks had been washed, her hair was neatly combed, and she was no longer in a mess.

At this time, Peng Qingqing was like a sleeping beauty, so quiet and peaceful, which formed a strong contrast with the previous embarrassment.

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly, and then his mood improved a bit, and his resentment towards Su Chen also weakened.

In the middle of the night, Peng Qingqing vomited some filth. After the fever and convulsions appeared, they quickly disappeared. The snake venom was completely suppressed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boom—boom, boom, boom!" came the sound of the fifth watch outside.

It was already three o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night.

The officers and police officers in the courtyard quickly leaned on the porch and dozed off, while Doctor Liu went to treat the wounded servants of the Su residence.

Bai Susu took Xiaotong to Ling'er's room to rest, leaving Dongxiang and Chunxiang, two servant girls from Su's mansion, guarding the Neixuan to serve the unconscious Peng Qingqing in turn.

Peng Zeliang sat in the room outside the screen, talking with Su Chen, the atmosphere was awkward.

"Han Shilang said, are you ready to take the imperial examination?"

Su Chen was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect that Peng Zeliang would take the initiative to ask him a question.

"Yes, Mr. Han has approached the younger generation and talked about the matter of becoming an official through the imperial examination. After thinking about it, the younger generation also feels that it is a pity to waste what he has learned in his studies. He plans to give Qiu Wei a try."

Peng Zeliang took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "How sure are you that you can pass the high school examination and become a tribute?"

"This..." Su Chen was a little ashamed. If it was a normal imperial examination, he would not be very sure. Although the Southern Tang imperial examination papers consisted of one word and one article, there were only two questions.

Together with the poems, according to the lyrics and requirements, make a good poem.The article is based on a sentence and an allusion to write a beautiful article.

If Su Chen is familiar with the lyrics, then it is not difficult to copy a poem that suits the occasion.

But the difficulty lies in writing imperial examination articles. To sing praises to the sages, be modest about reading, and be full of ambition and fighting spirit for life, you must write well in parallel prose, neatly antithetical, quote from the classics, and talk a lot. It's not something Su Chen can do.

Su Chen thought to himself, Mr. Han said he has a way, but he doesn't know the specific way, unless the title of the article is the ancient prose of the Song Dynasty that he has memorized.

"I'm not sure, I can only try my best!" Su Chen said modestly.

Peng Zeliang didn't know that Su Chen was not good at writing, so at this time, hearing Su Chen's words, he thought he was deliberately modest, and said coldly: "In front of the magistrate, you don't have to pretend, the name of Jiangzuo's number one genius is now passed down. All over Runzhou, even Jinling City, and other state capitals are spreading your poems and drama novels. In the past, the old man thought that you were not doing your job properly, and your talents were all in vain. Now you are going to take part in the imperial examination, which is not bad. When you go astray, you will return, and the prodigal son will return."

There was a look of dumbfounding on Su Chen's face, he thought to himself that I am really not what you think, what a lost way, the prodigal son turns back, I am being driven to the rack, forced to go to Liangshan!

"The magistrate is absurd." Su Chen cupped his fists in embarrassment.

Peng Zeliang snorted softly. He still had some opinions on him, but he admired Su Chen's talent and ability on weekdays. He didn't want Qingqing to associate with him. The main reason was that Su Chen didn't have any fame or identity. He just wanted to do business. , not seeking imperial examinations, in his eyes, this is not motivated.

What's more, Su Chen and Bai Susu still have a marriage contract, and Qingqing is interposed between the two, and they have been in close contact, so what's going on!

"By the way, what happened to your engagement with Susu?" Peng Zeliang held the teacup, looked at the green tea leaves floating in the tea water, and asked as if nothing had happened.

Su Chen was a little strange, why did he ask this topic, and replied truthfully: "Susu and I have broken off our engagement in private."

"The engagement was broken?" Peng Zeliang's expression moved slightly, his brows raised, obviously shocked by the news.

At this moment, Peng Zeliang's mood seemed to become more complicated.
