Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 89 Ghosts and Gods
"Woooo."

The little Doudou seemed to know that its delicious food was being divided up, and whimpered with its big watery eyes, but unfortunately its front paws were tied, and it couldn't stand at all. Inside the basket, I struggled with my limbs for a long time, but couldn't stand up, so I could only look at Aunt Ma pitifully, until the two women couldn't help laughing, and even Aunt Ma felt much better.

This little guy is really cute, no wonder among the litter of dogs, the masters of the family like this disabled little thing the most.

After a while, Erlang came over, held Doudou in his arms and made out with each other until the sun was high, and then reluctantly let Aunt Ma coax him, took the book boy to go to school together, and before leaving, he still carried Doudou to send To its mother and brothers and sisters.

The other three puppies, one male and two female, were born thin and thin. Although they were not as clever as Doudou, they were still cute. They were fed porridge mixed with various minced meat, and within a few days, they were separated. At the beginning, he looked as skinny as a stick, but his coat color was shiny, which was very pleasant.

Aunt Ma is taking care of these puppies now. It's not that Su Tong doesn't like them. It's just that Su Tong has a lot of things to do on weekdays. It's okay to play with them occasionally. She really doesn't have to do things like bathing and shearing. Energy to do it.

As for Aunt Ma, she is now more free than before. In the past, when she cooked dinner, she would always have to find various jobs. She could earn a penny or a penny, and saved up little by little to buy pens and ink for other men, but now she is different. She is alone, and her daughter She is already married, so she has nothing to worry about. The treatment given by the Su family is not low, which is enough for her to take care of herself. She has nothing to do except cooking. With these puppies, she can relieve her loneliness.

On this day, it was cold in winter, and the Eldest Princess posted a post asking her to have a drink.

Su Tong had nothing to do, so he agreed. Although he was a little afraid of the eldest princess's attitude of being a matchmaker, it would not be good to break relations with her. Besides, as long as she doesn't let go of such things as a matchmaker, no matter how capable the matchmaker is. Useless.

Driving the carriage, braved the wind and snow, and soon arrived in front of the son-in-law's mansion. Looking at the tall and wide gate, Su Tong walked in casually. It's no different than visiting a neighbor's house, and there seems to be no awe in the first place.

In other words, I have been here so many times. Places such as the Dachang Princess' Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion are very mysterious to other ordinary people, but Su Tong is familiar with it. It is reasonable to not feel awe, but it is the first time I come here. At that time, she didn't think there was any prestige at all, at most she just felt that the late emperor was very kind to this unrelated sister, not to mention the eldest princess mansion, even the son-in-law's mansion was so beautifully repaired.

In Kaifeng, where every inch of land is expensive and even the imperial palace is crowded, it is really not easy to have such a mansion.

I remember one time when the eldest princess was picking hair flowers, the woman who came to sell the hair flowers was so frightened that she was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, and she couldn't finish wiping them off. Only by holding on can I walk out the door.

It may be that the eldest princess didn't want to make herself feel too much pressure.

Su Tong thought wildly, followed the two maids to lead the way, and entered the princess' bedroom, only to see the princess leaning against the window wiping tears.

The older woman was crying like a little girl, and she even had a lot of make-up on her face.

Su Tong was startled, and was about to leave as soon as he turned his head - if a woman like the eldest princess was seen crying, she would never be happy in her heart.

"A Tong, you are so cruel!"

Su Tong was stunned, and saw the eldest princess turning her head sadly: "Feihua is too miserable, can't we give her a happy ending?" Then, the eldest princess pulled the handkerchief, wiped her face, and muttered softly, "What kind of name is this? It's too vulgar for a father to name his daughter Feihua."

Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help shaking his head——Gu Feihua was obviously a stage name, just the name of a prostitute. She had been reduced to such a level, how could she dare to reveal her real name and shame her ancestors.

"I don't think there is anything miserable about Gu Feihua. A woman, even if she is reduced to prostitution, still has a man who is willing to refuse marriage in front of the emperor for herself. She has also seen a lot of scenery that many women can't see, and she has become a lot of women. Even if she dies, she is the luckiest woman who has never even thought about it in her life."

The Eldest Princess was startled, she felt tears, and actually nodded: "You girl makes some sense, but as a woman, even if life is not so interesting, it's better to have a life as plain as water, than to experience constant ups and downs like her..."

Su Tong thought it was funny, but it was just a story. This person seemed to really treat Gu Feihua as if she was a living person. She was probably really old. Old kid, old kid, the older she was, the weirder her temperament became.

Fortunately, the eldest princess's sorrowful heart only lasted for a short moment. After a while, she put aside her sorrows and dragged Su Tong to the yard to drink.

The wine is imperial wine bestowed by the palace. It is fragrant and delicious, but has little stamina. Since Zhao Wanrong doesn't care that Su Tong is still young, Su Tong doesn't care. He drank two cups with her. After drinking it, he could see that Zhao Wanrong had something on her mind , and this worry is not small, he is in a trance and doesn't talk about it, even the food specially prescribed by the imperial doctor, which he usually refuses to eat, casually entered his mouth.

"You said, there really are ghosts in this world?"

Su Tong raised his eyebrows, pinched a piece of snack casually, chewed and ate it slowly, and heard the princess's vague question, he smiled and said: "I don't know about such things."

ghost?If it was in the 21st century, when she was the daughter of the Patriarch of the Su family, someone asked this question and asked her to answer it, it would be impossible without spending tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, her answer must be yes, and she He will also let the group of pretending to be ghosts at home to exorcise ghosts and catch demons.

If there were no 'ghosts' in this world, their Su family would lose a lot of business, so what would they eat, drink, and feed more and more members of the Su family?
But this eldest princess doesn't seem like a woman who can ask such questions.

A woman who has lived such a long time and has been in the court for so many years must be a person who avoids all evil. If she believed in ghosts and gods, she might have gone crazy long ago.

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods since I was a child, I only believe in ghosts in people's hearts." Zhao Wanrong didn't seem to know why she said these words to Su Tong. It might be because she was drunk, or it might be because she was old and her heart was no longer the same as when she was young. It is so hard and without gaps, "Otherwise, if there are gods, why do evil people enjoy wealth and honor, and good people live in misery. If gods have no eyes, why do we mortals bother to worship gods?"
