Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 62
Today, the emperor left a group of military generals in the court to discuss that Beishuo has been mobilizing troops frequently recently, and there seems to be something unusual.

Lu Hou returned to the mansion when the lights were on, changed his clothes and went to Lu Xiao's yard.

Without waiting for Gu Yu to report, he raised his hand and opened the door, and said in a loud voice:
"You said. Did Prince Chun's son grow up eating shit?"

Lu Xiao was picking up his pen and practicing calligraphy. Although he heard the old man's footsteps early on, he was still startled by his bell-like voice. After a moment of daze, a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, and soon it was blurred.

Lu Xiao had no choice but to look up at Lu Hou who entered the room and poured himself a cup of tea, and put down his pen.

Lu Hou looked angry and indisputable, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"Playing chess with a girl, and losing a game of chess can still pull your own pockets. The Queen issued a ban not to allow this matter to be publicized. It's good for him to make things difficult for the Li family. It's really promising. That old fox Li Xiang Is it something he can provoke?"

Lu Hou smacked his lips and shook his head:

"Thanks to that old bastard, Prince Chun, if this was my son, he would have to be hung from the beam of the house and whipped with a leather whip all night."

Lu Hou was talking to himself, and then turned around to meet Lu Xiao's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was stunned and said:
"What? I'm wrong?"

After saying that, he remembered that the Li family sent someone to send a thank you gift just now, and he couldn't help but smile on his face:

"You boy. In the past, you were indispensable in every fight in the capital, and your father also wiped your ass. Today is the first time that I have saved face because of a fight."

Lu Hou smiled triumphantly.

Lu Xiao got up, poured tea for his father himself, and said casually:
"Even in the past, I have never lost a fight. Even if you were helping your son, you didn't make you lose face."

Holding the tea, Lu Hou thought about it for a while, it was true!Although this kid has caused him many troubles since he was a child, in terms of martial arts, he has never lost face to his Lu family!
"Have you practiced calligraphy yet?"

Lu Hou stretched his neck, poked around on Lu Xiao's desk, and wondered:
"Usually, don't you look down on those flamboyant people the most? Why does it seem like a different person when you come back from the army?"

Lu Xiao paused slightly with the hand holding the teapot, cleared his throat, looked at Lu Hou and said:

"I originally planned to refer to the Jinwu Guard next month. The first subject of the literary test is the most important. I practiced it a few times when I have nothing to do."

After hearing this, Lu Hou was very relieved. He put down the teacup, got up and went to the desk and picked up the rice paper in one hand. Looking at the vigorous running script on the paper, he widened his eyes:

"Is it possible to practice this word a few times?"

Lu Hou is a rough man, illiterate, but he also saw the extraordinary strength of this brushstroke. He turned around and looked at Lu Xiao with piercing eyes, as if you don't read much, so don't lie to your father.

Lu Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, and just about to speak, he asked the servant outside to interrupt:

"Master Hou, son!"

The boy came trotting all the way, and after he had recovered his breath, he said:

"The second son just had a sudden asthma attack, Madam please hurry back to Jinyuan"

Lu Hou froze, exchanged a glance with Lu Xiao, put down the rice paper in his hand hastily, and went out.

Lu Xiao gave Gu Yu a wink, and walked out of the courtyard with Lu Hou.

In the Jin Garden, Luo Shi guarded the pale Lu Yuan with tears all over his face.

When Lu Hou came in, he immediately saw Lu Yuan lying on the couch with his head covered in sweat, with his mouth wide open struggling to breathe, his heart arose.

"What's going on! Brother Yuan hasn't developed symptoms for a long time, why did he suddenly fall ill now?"

"Where's the imperial doctor? Can someone ask for it?"

Lu Hou was talking, stepped forward to hold Lu Yuan's little hand, and shouted at the maid.

The maid was startled, knelt down quickly, trembling and said:
"Back to Lord Hou, the second young master was just fine, so he asked his servant to make colorful tassels, saying that the one on the son's body is a bit old, and he wants to replace it with a new one."

"The maidservant just went to get the silk thread, and when she came back, she saw the second young master lying on the ground, bluntly saying that she couldn't breathe."

"The servant immediately reported to the steward, and has already gone to ask the imperial doctor. The servant should die and beg Mrs. Hou for forgiveness."

With a sullen face, Lu Hou waved his hand at the maid, signaling her to back down.

The maid trembled, and thanked her a lot and left the door.

"Big Brother"

Lu Yuan turned his face slightly, caught a glimpse of Lu Xiao's figure, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Luo Shi froze and looked at Lu Xiao with panic in his eyes.

Lu Xiao stepped forward and took Lu Yuan's hand.His fingertips were cold, and his face was as white as paper, dripping with sweat, but his eyes were full of dependence.

Lu Xiao's heart trembled:
"Ah Yuan, good boy, you have big brother here, you will recover from illness in a while, big brother will be here with you."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to the outside:

"Come here! Go get my pair of cards, hurry to Li Xiang's mansion and invite the medical girl Rong Zhi into the mansion!"

Luo Shi clutched the handkerchief, blurted out and shouted sharply:
"How could this be possible! How can a medical girl heal Brother Yuan?"

Lu Hou glanced at Luo Shi who looked excited, and said to Lu Xiao hesitantly:
"But the first-class medical girl who helped Princess Showa give birth? Can she cure Brother Yuan's asthma?"

Lu Xiao ignored Luo Shi's gaffe, nodded solemnly and said:

"I heard from Princess Chonghua earlier that the ancestors of the Rong family have practiced medicine for generations and are good at women and children's diseases. This medical girl saved Mrs. Li's pregnancy and was rewarded by the queen mother. You might as well ask her to try it out. It's close, the imperial physician always treats Brother Yuan well as soon as he enters the mansion."

Lu Hou listened, nodded, and said to the outside:

"What are you waiting for? Take my greeting card! Hurry up, go back quickly!"

With tears in his eyes, Luo Shi just wanted to open his mouth, but Lu Hou stared and lowered his head. He could only look at Lu Yuan's weakening body with worry, and bit his lip tightly.

The Li family is not far from the Lu family, there are few pedestrians at night, and the guards of the Lu residence are very skilled at equestrianism, and they invited Rong Zhi into the residence within the time required to go back and forth for a cup of tea.

Everyone looked up and saw Li Rui, the eldest son of the Li family, and Li Taiwei, the princess of Chonghua, were following behind them. Just as they were about to stand up to meet them, Li Rui cupped his hands and said:

"It's important to see the Second Young Master first, so you don't need to be too polite, Lord Hou."

Li Taiwei is a female relative, it is inconvenient to enter Lu Yuan's inner room, so she has to wait outside.The maidservants of the Lu family served tea and cakes, and Li Taiwei could vaguely see the moving figure inside through the skein screen.

Lu Hou nodded, looked at Rong Zhi for a while, then moved half of his body away, and asked Rong Zhi to step forward to feel the pulse.

Rong Zhi's complexion was slightly tight, and when she looked up at Lu Xiao, she could hear Lu Xiao clearly saying:

"Just after Shenshi had dinner, he ate sweet and sour carp and stewed green bamboo shoots in oil, and drank a bowl of hibiscus chicken soup. At the end of Youshi, he suddenly suffered from asthma. He never lit aromatherapy in his house, and he didn't plant catkins in the yard. Things, everything has the capacity of a doctor."

Rong Zhi nodded, placed one hand on the back of Lu Yuan's neck, carefully checked his mouth and nose, and then sat down to examine Lu Yuan's pulse carefully.

Within less than a stick of incense, Lu Yuan's illness suddenly worsened a lot, his mouth grew bigger but he seemed to be unable to breathe, and his whole body twitched.

Luo Shi screamed and was about to lean forward, but was stopped by Lu Xiao raising his hand, and said coldly:
"Auntie, don't panic, it will be even more detrimental to Ah Yuan if you disturb Doctor Rong's mood!"

Luo Shi stared at Lu Xiao, and from the corner of the eye, Rong Zhi took out the silver needle and stabbed it into Lu Yuan's wrist.

"don't want--!"

Luo Shi suddenly pushed Lu Xiao away and screamed.
