Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 86 Thanks
Cough!

Mingyu was shocked by the news, the pastry in her mouth was sprayed all over the book in her hand and on the table.

The corners of Xi'er's mouth twitched too. There are such coincidences in this world. There really are fabricated quacks. They dress plainly, and you can even say that they don't look good at all. The only thing is a jasper gourd hanging around their waist. This is a sick person. Only people can dress up like this, but there are really...

"And then?" Xi'er asked with her eyes wide open.

"As soon as the quack doctor entered the city, people from the Hou's mansion and Duke Cheng's mansion saw him. The Chengguo mansion was even more anxious, so they invited the quack doctor back, and the servant of the Hou mansion waited outside the mansion. Now, after the treatment is over, please go back home."

That's a real quack, most likely a liar, what are you doing back home?
"Is anyone sick in the mansion?" Ming concubine asked.

Haitang looked at her and said, "Girl, you forgot that the second girl is still sick, any ointment is so effective, the medical skills must be superb, it is no problem to save the second girl, there is also a quack doctor, whose whereabouts are erratic, buy more It's good to have ointment in case of emergency."

It's right to think so, but she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

And if you take the medicine indiscriminately, you will die.

She lied nonsense, if something happened to her, how would her conscience live?
"When the quack doctor enters the mansion, remember to report to me, and I will go and have a look."

Begonia should go down.

Ming concubine waited while reading a book, an hour passed, and there was no news of quack doctor entering the mansion, Ming concubine couldn't sit still, and took Xi'er to Changhui courtyard.

Except for her, everyone was waiting, and they were all waiting impatiently.

The fourth wife was the most impatient, and said, "It's just to buy some ointment, why did it take so long?"

"Wait a little longer, Duke Cheng's mansion won't detain him knowing that Hou's mansion also wants to hire a doctor for treatment," said the old lady.

Ming concubine entered the room to invite Ann, and then sat aside.

As soon as she sat down, a maid came running in, panting, the second wife said anxiously, "But the quack doctor is here?"

The maid shook her head like a rattle, "No one came."

The second wife's face darkened, "Cheng Guo's government won't let you go?"

The servant girl shook her head again, "That's not true. The boy in the house invited the quack doctor to get into the carriage. Who would have thought that when he got off the carriage, there would be no one in the carriage, and he would disappear out of thin air."

It's really a hell of a day, the servants are all out of order, and I didn't see anyone getting out of the carriage, so they disappeared without anyone noticing.

Su frowned, and said, "Did Jiang Hu doctor treat the eldest wife of Duke Cheng's mansion?"

The servant girl nodded, "I've read it. I heard from the official of Cheng Guogong's mansion that Jianghu doctor's skills are good, not inferior to the imperial physician, but the asking price is high. I asked for 8000 taels of consultation fee, and said it was a price close to the people."

Ming concubine, "..."

Why do these words sound so familiar?
Xi'er frowned and looked at Ming Concubine, really, if she hadn't followed the girl every step of the way, she would have wondered if the quack doctor was her girl.

Over there, the corners of Ming's mouth twitched when he heard the words of the wives.

"8000 taels for medical treatment? Is this a doctor or a bandit? This amount of money is enough to treat hundreds of people in our Hou's mansion for several years!" The fourth wife sneered.

The third wife also said, "Although the medical skills are high, the consultation fee is not too high, but 8000 taels is too much."

Xi'er poked her concubine with small eyes, as if to say, girl, listen, they say that your consultation fee is too high and too much.

Ming concubine's face turned black into the bottom of a pot.

What's wrong with her asking for 8000 taels? Isn't a leg of Prince Zhennan worth 8000 taels?

She traveled here to treat people, and they couldn't even pay for the travel expenses!
Su Shi said, "Although the consultation fee is high, if the medical skills are good, the money has to be paid, but why don't you come to the Hou's Mansion, afraid that my Hou's Mansion can't afford it?"

The second wife glanced at Mrs. Su, then glanced at Ming Concubine over there, stood up abruptly and said, "I'm afraid I've encountered a liar!"

Everyone looked at her, and the second wife said, "My concubine has seen a quack doctor, if it is a fake, it will be exposed as soon as she comes, let alone earning a fortune from our Hou's mansion, it is 8000 taels from Cheng Guogong's mansion." He couldn't keep it, so he accepted it as soon as it was good, and quickly slipped away."

The fourth wife nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law is right, I have to tell Cheng Guogong's mansion immediately."

After speaking, she lifted her foot and left.

The second wife's face turned purple. I have never seen the fourth wife who is so good at picking up cheap things.

"Waiting for such a long time, I didn't expect to be a liar," the third wife said disappointedly.

The Su family said, "It's a blessing that I didn't fall for it like Duke Cheng's."

"I hope the eldest lady of Duke Cheng's mansion is fine," said the old lady, fiddling with the beads.

Sitting at the side, Ming concubine thought of the price of being close to the people, and thought that if Chu Mochen really belonged, then the eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion would be in trouble.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

After more than an hour, the fourth wife came back from Duke Cheng's mansion, and of course brought back the tragic situation of the eldest wife of Duke Cheng's mansion.

The fourth wife didn't delay, and hurried to Cheng Guogong's mansion, and told the story that the quack doctor might be a liar, and the maid hurriedly told the eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion to wash off all the ointment smeared on her face, but it was still too late. up.

The face of the eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion was sore and itchy, and it was swollen like a pig's head.

The imperial doctor checked the ointment and found that someone had poisoned it, and it was a poison he could not detox. The eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion rolled on the bed in pain.

When Haitang complained, Xi'er looked at Ming concubine with her eyes. How could this poison be so similar to what the girl described? It is said that it will hurt for three days and three nights...

But wasn't this medicinal powder given to the Ninth Prince?
If it was thought to be a coincidence before, it is almost certainly Chu Mochen's masterpiece now.

To this, Ming concubine only wants to say four words: Well done!

……

On this day, the sun was bright and the breeze was gentle.

In the garden, Concubine Ming was sitting on a swing swinging, a hundred flowers were blooming in front of her, and the fragrance of the flowers was overwhelming.

Ming concubine leaned on the swing rope and fell asleep in a daze.

Xi'er stood behind her, watching carefully, lest Ming concubine might accidentally lean back and come into close contact with the earth.

In the distance, there was the sound of cheerful footsteps. Xi'er looked over and saw the second girl Wei Minghui and Si'er walking over with a peony flower in their hands. Xi'er signaled them to slow down and not disturb her girl. sleep.

Wei Minghui's footsteps were light, she couldn't speak, but these days she obviously had a lot of smiles on her face, and Si'er followed behind her step by step.

Xi'er looked at her and asked, "Is your butt healed?"

Si'er nodded again and again, "The ointment you brought me is very effective, it doesn't hurt at all now, it's very windy outside, why do you let the eldest girl sleep on the swing?"

Xi'er looked helpless, "The girl thinks life is too boring and wants to go out to play, Madam disagrees."

The fifth girl was punished by the old lady twice because she left the mansion, and the eldest girl was engaged, so she shouldn't have shown her face in the first place, and the madam would definitely not let her leave the mansion.

Thinking of going out of the mansion, Si'er was fascinated. She followed Wei Minghui all day, and she rarely even went out of the courtyard. Saving money and having no place to spend flowers, she looked at Xi'er and said, "You want to leave the house with the eldest girl, and help me buy some hairpin flowers, as well as candied haws and sugar figurines."

Xi'er happily responded, but then she was dejected, "I don't know when I will be able to leave the house."

Then the two maids chatted about the bustle of the street as if they were people. They talked in a low voice, and neither of them noticed the fascination and longing that Wei Minghui showed beside him.

We were talking about peony flower sauce. Xi'er made peony flower sauce before, and Ming concubine asked her to send some to Wei Minghui. The girl also liked it, and asked Xi'er when she would do it again, and she helped.

Xi'er shook her head and said, "Mother Zhou forbids me to think about peony flowers again, and if I do it again, she will pull out my ears. I dare not."

While chatting, Xueyan came over, Xi'er saw it and said, "Didn't you go to the embroidery room with Zhou's mother, why are you here?"

Xueyan said, "Mother Zhou has returned to Hanyu Garden, I'm here to find the girl."

Ming concubine moved, and the swing shook her, waking her up, Xueyan said, "Miss is awake?"

Ming concubine nodded, her eyes still sleepy, Xueyan said, "Just now, the steward of Duke Cheng's mansion came to Hou's mansion again."

Hearing this, Ming concubine lightly raised her eyebrows, why did she come again, "What are you doing this time?"

"Same as last time, thank you."

Ming concubine was stunned, how could it be a thank you? Didn't it mean that Cheng Guogong's mansion hired a quack doctor who was on leave, and rolled on the bed in pain? Could it be that Mrs. Xie Si informed him in time?It's possible.
