Jinghong Tower

Chapter 69 Sydney Sugar Water

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Mr. He was in a hurry to take office. He wished he could fly to Songjiang Mansion with wings on his back. When he set out in the morning, he had already wasted a lot of time at Shili Changting. Therefore, Mr. He urged him not to stop on the way. He arrived at the official residence in the evening. Rest again.

It was almost noon, Brother Long was hungry, so Lu Honger took out the snacks she had brought, which were puff pastry snacks that had just become popular in the capital.

Lu Hong'er picked up a piece and broke it open to see that it was stuffed with jujube paste. She frowned. Brother Long followed her, but none of them could eat jujubes. If they did, they would get red rashes.

This snack was prepared by Ding. They didn't know it, but they couldn't be blamed.

It just so happened that there was a shop on the roadside that only sold steamed buns and steamed buns. It was a business for passers-by.

Lu Hong'er asked the car to stop, sent the maid out of the car to buy a few buns, and then continued on her way.

The buns were stuffed with radish and meat residue, and they were quite delicious. Lu Hong'er ate two, Brother Long ate half, and even Mr. He ate three.

After eating the buns, the maid has already made tea on the small charcoal stove.

Both water and tea were brought from the capital. Mr. He and Lu Hong'er drank tea, while Brother Long drank water boiled with dried snow pears and dried bamboo cane.

Brother Long had a cough these past two days, and he was drinking this in the capital. Lu Hong'er felt sorry for her son, so she boiled a large pot and put it in the carriage before going out, then heated it up on a small charcoal stove before drinking.

After eating and drinking, Mr. He dozed off. Lu Hong'er was also a little sleepy. She glanced at Brother Long beside her and saw that the little guy was already asleep.

Lu Hong'er put the thin quilt on Brother Long and closed her eyes to take a nap.

But just after sleeping for a while, she was awakened by Brother Taki's cry.

"What's wrong?" Mr. He was also woken up.

Brother Long's face was pale and his mouth was wide open: "It hurts, it hurts."

The saliva flowed out of Brother Long's mouth non-stop. Lu Hong'er wiped him with a handkerchief and it started to flow again.

"Quickly, go to the medical center, go to the medical center!" Lu Hong'er screamed loudly.

This is an official road. There is no village in front and no store in the back. Even the handlebars cannot tell where we are now.

There are forks in the road ahead, and on one of the roads, you can see what seems to be a house in the distance.

Mr. He shouted at the four guards: "You ride over and have a look, and ask a doctor to come over!"

These four guardians were not brought from Zhending, but were temporarily found in the capital. They were said to be guardians, but they were actually bodyguards. They traveled thousands of miles, and if there was any unevenness along the way, there would always be someone to protect them.

Two guards went to look for the doctor, and the other two stood guard in front of the carriage. They went south this time, a total of four carriages.

Mr. He's family of three took one car, and the maid and servant, together with their luggage, occupied the other three cars.

Waiting and waiting, Lu Hong'er felt like the days passed like years. Brother Long was still drooling, but his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he was about to die.

The two nursing homes finally brought a doctor over. The doctor looked at it and shook his head: "This is poisoning. I don't have a symptomatic antidote at hand. I can only use some ordinary detoxification and evil medicine. It can cure it temporarily." As soon as the poisonous pressure in the young master's body was suppressed, Yuan Town is more than a hundred miles away. There is a Four Seasons Hall there, and a very famous old doctor is sitting there. Go there and take a look. The old doctor may be able to solve it." Hearing the word "poisoned", Lu Hong'er's head was buzzing, poisoning, poisoning, who wanted to harm her son?

There are ready-made detoxification pills in the doctor's medicine box. Even if he uses them on Brother Long, after a quarter of an hour, Brother Long will drool less and his breathing will be smoother than before.

Lu Hong'er was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Is this better?"

The doctor shook his head: "I said, this is not a symptomatic antidote. It can only be temporarily suppressed to make the young master less painful. You'd better go to Yuanzhen quickly. The poison of the young master cannot be delayed."

Yuan Town was not on their way, but for the sake of Brother Long, they didn't care about it. Even Mr. He who was in a hurry didn't say anything. After all, Brother Long was also his own flesh and blood.

It's more than a hundred miles from here to the original town. Brother Long's condition has improved. Brother Long was tired from all the trouble just now, and now he fell asleep again.

Lu Hong'er's mood gradually calmed down as she looked at Brother Long's little face as pale as paper.

Where did this poison come from?

Snacks brought from home?

Brother Long didn't eat, and she didn't eat either. But Mr. He ate two pieces and is still fine now.

Buns bought on the road?

They all ate, Master He and she were fine, Brother Long ate the least, presumably the poison was not in the buns.

If it’s not something to eat, is it something to drink?

Mr. He and her drank tea, and they were all fine. But the bamboo cane and snow pear water that Brother Long drank was brought from the capital.

"It's Sydney water, it must be Sydney water!"

She brought a pot of pear water, but Brother Long only drank a small bowl, half of which was left.

Lu Hong'er recalled carefully that she didn't boil the pear water, but she asked the inn's kitchen to cook it last night. She also gave them extra money and asked them to deliver it before leaving in the morning.

The people in the kitchen had no grudges against her, so why did they want to harm Brother Long?

By the way, when she asked the kitchen to boil the pear water, she didn't say it was for Brother Long to drink. In the past two days, not only Brother Long, she also had a cough. Could it be that it was her who was hurt, and it was Brother Long who was unlucky for her? Prevent disaster?

The more Lu Hong'er thought about it, the more this happened, and she said to Mr. He: "Hurry up and write a letter to the capital and ask them to report it to the officials. This is harming the officials and their families. If you want to arrest people, you must arrest them!"

However, Mr. He felt that the matter might not be as terrible as Lu Hong'er thought, or that the doctor might have made a wrong diagnosis. It was either poisoning or Brother Long had a food conflict with something. Couldn't he eat dates? Maybe something else besides dates won't work either.

After finally arriving in Yuan Town, there is indeed a Four Seasons Hall, but the famous old doctor is not in attendance today. His great-grandson is hosting a full-moon banquet, and the old doctor took a day off.

Lu Hong'er asked where the old doctor lived and went to his door.

Master He glanced at the sleeping brother Long and felt that Lu Hong'er was making a fuss out of a molehill.

When someone is having a wedding, you have to come to see a doctor. This is just ignorant. You don't have the dignity and stability of an official wife at all. You are like a shrew in the market, and you will be just an aunt in this life.

So when he arrived in Songjiang, he immediately asked someone to find a suitable girl from aristocratic families. He couldn't leave the affairs of the back house to Lu Hong'er. His style of doing things was not as good as that of the Yan family.

Lu Hong'er never expected that when she was so anxious that she came to seek medical treatment for her son, what Master He was thinking about was that she was not dignified and stable enough. She was anxious to detoxify her son, while his biological father was anxious to get a bride.
