Ji Tang

Since Tongguan Inn often has dignitaries resting here, apart from the simple rooms in the front, the houses here have a unique cave in the back. There are more than ten independent small courtyards, each covering an area of ​​about one acre, and there are five rooms. Six rooms.

As the young lady of the Ji family, Wu Mei and others are of course included in this group, and they are still in the best courtyard.However, there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the main room at this time.

After Wu Mei finished washing and was about to take a rest, she found something was wrong with the child.Normally, this time is the time to sleep, but the child's little body trembles from time to time, his little fists are clenched tightly, and his little face is a little abnormal.

She was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but as soon as she touched the child, her hands felt hot. When she touched the child's forehead, her expression changed drastically.

"Come on, come on!"

Bang, the door was opened, and Ms. Yang was seen trotting in in a panic. She was stunned when she saw her daughter's panic.

"It's not good, mother, child. The child seems to have a fever."

"what?"

Yang's face turned pale now, and she quickly stepped forward to check. When she touched the child's cheek and forehead, her heart trembled.

"What are you still doing? Why don't you call the doctor quickly?"

After all, Yang had raised three children, and her experience was unmatched by Wu Mei.Seeing her panicked daughter at this time, she gradually calmed down.While sending people to find a doctor, they also found cold water to cool down the child.

"Mom, will the child be like this again?" Wu Mei was a little panicked. This child has been very healthy since he was born. The food and drinks at home are the best things in the world. He is happy every day. Very rarely get sick.

Yang pushed Wu Mei away and said with a livid face: "Are you panicking now? Why did you go there earlier? You didn't listen to my advice at first. The child is so young and has been traveling for several months. Even adults can't keep it. Not to mention the kids.”

"You have always been right since you were a child, and you are still like this when you grow up. It's okay if the child is well, but if I see how you explain it to your master and your husband!"

"Wow~"

Finally, Wu Mei, who had always been strong, burst into tears.Yes, he regretted it!

"Why are you crying? The child's illness will be cured by crying? Why don't you go change the water quickly!"

"Huh? Okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now!"

Looking at Wu Mei who ran out, Yang sighed. This means she has met a good master. Otherwise, with her daughter's strong and domineering temperament, she might not be able to get married even if she gets married. She doesn't know how much trouble she will suffer. !
Soon, the doctor came!
The reason why she reluctantly agreed to come back before was because she was accompanied by a doctor, otherwise she would not have been allowed to take the child on the road.

"Mr. Liu, come and see the child!"

Mr. Liu was a worshiper of the southern sect of the Ji family. In exchange, he gave his son a place to go to Taibai Academy, so he was willing to stay in the Ji family.Of course, he also has his own medical clinic when he has nothing to do. This time he invited it for the sake of his children.

"Madam, don't be anxious, let me take a look!"

Mr. Liu is also a well-known doctor in Mingzhou, and he can basically cure common diseases easily.

After a while, Mr. Liu finished his inspection, glanced at the young lady who had just returned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Young madam, although the young master is in good health, he was born in the south. Now that he suddenly comes to the north, the climate will definitely change. . The adults are okay, but the child can’t bear it. Why don’t you take off his outer clothes when he goes to bed at this time?”

Wu Mei wanted to refute when she heard this, but she lost her confidence and could only mutter in a low voice: "Aren't you worried about freezing at night?"

"Bullshit!"

It was okay not to say this, but when he said this, Mr. Liu became angry and said: "I will tell you some things to pay attention to when you enter Xiangyang. It seems that your young lady didn't listen to a word. Are you freezing? You don't even look at it. How many quilts does the child have?"

Then he pointed to the stove in the room and said: "I am already so old, and I felt a little hot when I first came in. The climate in the north is dry and not as humid as the south. It makes it so hot. It's cold and hot. It's strange that I don't feel hot!"

"If your young lady doesn't want to listen to what I say, I will go back to the south after I cure the young master, otherwise I will be angry to death!"

"Humph!"

After saying that, he ignored them, opened the box, took out a medicine bottle and poured out a small pill.Wu Mei rolled her eyes and said nothing, her eyes were red and swollen, and said: "This is an antipyretic medicine developed by me personally. It has been used for many years and basically there will be no problems. If you believe me, just feed it to the child. If you don't believe it, feed it to the child." .”

"Xin, why don't you thank me?"

How could Wu Mei have so many thoughts now? She quickly took the pill and was about to feed it to the child.But at this moment, a group of people came outside.

"Meier."

Ji Ze ran into the room excitedly. When he saw the situation in the room, he was stunned and said in confusion: "What are you..."

Wu Mei stiffened when she heard the voice, and looked back at the door in disbelief. When she saw the person she had longed for, she could no longer bear the grievance in her heart and rushed towards him.

"Husband, wow~ why did you come here!"

She beat her husband on the back, as if he wanted to cry out all his grievances.It was also the first time for Ji Ze to see this situation, and he was immediately confused!
"Cough cough!"

Hearing the sound of coughing, Wu Mei finally saw the person behind her husband, her face turned red and she said blankly: "Brother?"

"Hey, what's the matter? I haven't seen you in the past few years and you don't even know your eldest brother?" Ji Run pretended to be dissatisfied.

"I" Wu Mei opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Mr. Liu.

"That's enough for you. The child is still sick. You are so mad at me!"

What?The child is sick?

The expressions of the two brothers Ji Ze and Ji Run suddenly changed. Ji Ze hurriedly came to the child. When he saw the child trembling with convulsions, his eyes turned red.

With this nose, these eyes, and the same eyebrows as his mother, he immediately knew that this was his child.

"The child has a fever. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and Mr. Liu Liu was here, otherwise..." Yang explained quickly at the side.

"fever?"

Ji Ze was stunned, touched the child's forehead, and felt it was hot. He turned back and glared at the crying Wu Mei: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

After speaking, he looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother."

Ji Run also stepped forward to check. He was relieved after confirming that it was fever. He called the accompanying doctor and said, "Let me have a look. If it doesn't work, send him to Chang'an immediately."

"No!" Mr. Liu spoke at this time, and he said angrily: "The child just has a normal fever, not a serious illness. As long as he takes my pills, the fever will definitely go away. If you send him on a cold day like you want, Chang'an, you are harming him!"

Ji Run glanced at him and said, "You are."

"This is an offering at home. Mingzhou is also famous for its good medical skills. Just now" Yang was worried about the conflict and quickly recounted what happened just now.

"Can I see your pills?"

Mr. Liu was stunned, but did not hesitate and handed over the pills.

However, Ji Run did not answer it, but asked the doctor who brought him to come forward to check.

"Yes, this medicine does have the effect of reducing fever." When Mr. Liu showed a smile, he only heard: "But, if I am right, does it contain licorice?"

Mr. Liu was shocked, but he still nodded and said: "Indeed!"

"Ok!"

The doctor who brought him nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and handed it to Mr. Liu as well.Said: "Then look at this!"

"This is?"

He picked up the pill, picked up a little powder with his fingernail and put it in his mouth to taste. Then he smelled it and said in surprise: "This is Taoist Sun Simiao's antipyretic pill for children?"

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to know each other?"

Facing the other party's appreciation, Mr. Liu looked serious, handed the pill to Wu Mei and said: "Feed the child quickly, this medicine is better than my medicine!"

"Oh oh oh!" Wu Mei heard the words and saw her husband nodding. He was decisive, so she no longer hesitated and put the pill in the child's mouth, then helped the child up, fed him some water, and saw that he had actually eaten it. , and then he breathed a sigh of relief!
"Okay, everyone else, let's get down!"

Ji Ze looked at the doctor brought by his eldest brother and said, "Doctor Zhang, I will trouble you tonight!"

Yes, the doctor he brought was the palace physician, but he was also half of his father's student.The two families are not far apart, so this person is basically the one who sees the family's health and condition.

This time I was worried about an accident, so I invited this person to come with me!
Zhang Yuyi smiled when he heard this and said: "It's just my job. I live next door. If you need anything, just call me!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

When everyone came outside, Mr. Liu was obviously a little distracted. He looked at the people beside him and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you the imperial doctor? The imperial physician in the palace?"

"What? Weird?"

"Actually, it's not surprising. There are two great medical masters in the Tang Dynasty. One is Sun Shenxian. The other is."

"Of course it's Duke Xin, who is famous for his surgery," Mr. Liu said without thinking.

Doctor Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I was shocked when I first saw Mr. Hao operating on someone to remove the appendix. Since then, I have treated him with half the courtesy of a master. Therefore, if there is something going on at the teacher's family, Is there any reason why I can’t come?”

Mr. Liu suddenly realized: "No wonder!"

"But your pills are not bad either. Although they have some flaws, they are very good at treating many children's fever-reducing conditions!"

"Please enlighten me!" Mr. Liu said happily after hearing this.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhang Yuyi's eyes, and he said: "Medicine is indeed good medicine, but it must be divided into people. When you treat diseases, do children often spit out the medicine?"

"How do you know?" Mr. Liu asked with wide eyes.

"Haha, what's so difficult about this? Children's sense of taste is extremely sensitive, and the taste of licorice is too strong. If you don't find a way to neutralize it, no matter how good the medicine is, if the child can't take it, what's the use?"

Mr. Liu suddenly realized.
In the room, I watched the child slowly calm down and no longer be alert.Wu Mei put her hand on the child's forehead and sighed, and said in surprise: "Retreat, retreat, really retreat!"

"Okay, please keep your voice down and stop disturbing the child!"

Ji Ze was lying next to the child at this time, and he fell in love with the child even more as he watched the child's frown relax.The little child looks like a porcelain doll, especially when he is sleeping quietly, it makes people more and more happy to see him!
"Is this my child?" She giggled while looking at the child, seeing Yang and Ji Run dumbfounded. Wu Meize pouted, looked at her husband and said dissatisfied: "What? Whose child could it be if it wasn't your child? Could it be."

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Before Wu Mei could finish speaking, Yang slapped her daughter and said angrily.

Ji Ze didn't care, and ignored Wu Mei at all. He just stared at the child, as if he couldn't get enough!
"Okay, get up quickly and let the child have a good rest. You have just traveled for such a long time and are cold. Don't touch the child!" Ji Run couldn't stand it anymore and could only remind him helplessly.

When he heard that it was not good for the child, he quickly backed away, but his eyes never left the child.

"Sigh~"

However, he soon tasted the punishment of forgetting his wife after having a child. Wu Meiliu raised her eyebrows, twisted his ears and said angrily: "Look at it, you know how to look after the child. You know I am pregnant and giving birth in ten months." Is it hard? Do you know how hard it is to raise a child to such a big age through all kinds of hardships?"

She wiped her tears and said with red eyes: "You were not here when I was pregnant, you were not here when I gave birth, and you were not here when the baby cried at night. What use do I need you for? My son, why are you doing this? What an irresponsible father!"

Ji Ze: "."

Ji Run: "."

Young: "."

Ji Ze wanted to say that you were supportive back then, but he couldn't open his mouth.He has fulfilled his filial duty as a son, but he has lost his responsibility as a wife, husband, and father of his children. What reason does he have to talk to his wife?
He stepped forward and gently held his wife in his arms, saying softly: "I was wrong. All my mistakes are my fault. Don't cry."

Yang and Ji Run looked at each other and walked out tacitly, leaving only the couple reunited after a long separation to talk to each other.
For a long time, Wu Mei may have cried out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few years. He was not like this originally, and he could not hold back crying even when the delivery was so dangerous.But today, first the child got sick, and then the husband arrived.All kinds of emotions came too violently and quickly, and the long-term pressure was all vented like an explosion on fire.
In the middle of the night, the child's fever finally subsided. After dawn, Dr. Zhang made a diagnosis and said: "This child is in good health and has a solid foundation. This time he can overcome it. He will take another pill and some decoction." It’s basically no problem!”

"However, I suggest you go to the fertile farmland before setting out on the road. Anyway, we are not far from Chang'an, and we are not in a hurry. It is better not to take the risk and go on the road. It is not too late to leave after the child has fully recovered!"

Everyone was relieved after hearing this, and Yang was even more delighted.If something happens to this child, given how much the Ji family values ​​​​their clan members, no matter how much their daughter is favored, the Duke of Xi will still be in trouble.Fortunately it was just a false alarm, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you and leave in a few days!" Ji Ze agreed without even thinking about it. Anyway, it won't be short of a few days.

Ji Run stepped forward at this time and said: "Since the child is fine, I will go back and report to dad first. I will leave all the guards for you. The other things are what dad ordered people to take with them, so just keep them!"

"Okay, you go report the news to dad, and leave the rest to me!"

The brothers were not so polite, and Ji Ze agreed directly.Soon, Ji Run finally took away only three guards, while the others, including Dr. Zhang and the housekeeper Lao Liu, stayed behind. (End of this chapter)
