Zuixianju?

Eunuch Hou raised his head and looked at Emperor Qing, thinking, no way, General Fan just visited yesterday.

Regarding the bet, Eunuch Hou was smart enough not to mention a word.

He didn't want to risk his life against the emperor.

It’s best not to bet.

The Nine-Five Supreme Lord did not mention the bet. As a personal eunuch, he pretended not to know about it.

Forgot too.

Being able to accompany Emperor Qing for so many years, he would have died long ago if he didn't have the ability to see.

At this time, although Emperor Qing looked as usual and showed no sign of calming down, the old eunuch Hou Eunuch, who had been with him for more than ten years, knew it well.

The more this happens, the more it means that the emperor has resentment in his heart.

At this time, whoever hits the muzzle of the gun will be unlucky.

He didn't want to be the one who was pissed off at this moment.

Fan Zui held the candied haws in his hand and took a bite. It was not as sweet as expected, but rather sour.

Many people have heard of candied haws, but have never eaten it.

When I mention this name, the first thing I think of is sweet and round.

In fact, he is both sour and sweet.

Rumor has it that during the reign of Shaoxi, Song Guangzong’s favorite concubine fell ill, was sallow and thin, and did not want to eat.

The imperial doctors used many expensive medicines, but they had no effect.

The emperor saw that his beloved concubine was looking haggard and frowning all day long.

Finally, I had no choice but to seek medical treatment.

A charlatan entered the palace, diagnosed the imperial concubine's pulse and said: "As long as she boils it with rock sugar and red fruits, and eats five to ten pieces before each meal, she will be cured within half a month."

At first, everyone was hesitant, but fortunately, this way of eating was suitable for the imperial concubine. After taking it according to this method, the imperial concubine recovered from her illness as expected.

The emperor was naturally overjoyed and frowned. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people skewered them and sold them, which became candied haws.

However, in the palace, there is another way to eat it.

That is to put it in the extremely yin place of a woman, leave it for one night, and take it in the morning the next day. It is said to have the effect of regenerating dead wood.

Many powerful eunuchs have tried it secretly.

As for whether it works or not, no one knows.

Suddenly, a familiar fragrance drifted past Fan Zui's nose. He looked around and saw a restaurant.

The plaque reads "Beggar's Chicken".

Outside the restaurant, there were many people standing guard, all dressed as beggars.

Good guy, a restaurant run by a beggar.

Specially buy beggar's chicken!

Really...

Although it was opened by a beggar, the people who entered it to spend money were all dignitaries or wealthy businessmen.

Everyone who has eaten beggar's chicken knows that it is truly unique.

Of course, the premise is that it must be authentic and well done.

It only took a minute or two to go to the forensic institute, and Fan Zui walked into it.

"Boss, a beggar's chicken, half a pot for a long time, I'll take it away."

After that, the money was placed on the counter.

The shopkeeper is also a beggar, but he carries five bags.

This means that this person is the Five Pockets Elder of the Beggar Clan.

Not long after, the beggar's chicken and half a jug of good wine he needed were delivered to him.

Fan Zui picked up his things and was about to leave, then took a look at the situation inside the house.

Although it is a restaurant run by a beggar, the furnishings are quite stylish.

Hygiene is also good.

Many guests ordered a pot of wine, some side dishes, and one and a half beggar's chickens, and slowly tasted them.

While drinking and drinking, we talked about recent topics of conversation.

Fan Zui even heard his own name in the low voices of these people.

As for what was said, I was not very interested.

Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly hit by someone.

A woman who looked very sick, with a bloodless face, was running outside the store with a chicken leg in her hand.

When she met Fan Zui, she almost fell down, but she still held the chicken leg tightly in her hand.

"you……"

Lin Wan'er was about to say something when she suddenly coughed and seemed to cough up blood.

The handkerchief is slightly blood red.

The teacher was Fei Jie, and he was also a time traveler. Fan Zui could naturally tell at a glance that Lin Wan'er had tuberculosis, so she often coughed up blood.

In ancient times, this disease could be said to be incurable.

It is also because of this that Lin Wan'er cannot eat meat and must have a very light diet.

Tuberculosis, simply put, is tuberculosis, an infectious disease.

Also called hemoptysis.

This disease is the disease suffered by those patients treated with human blood steamed buns in Mr. Lu Xun's works.

One of the characteristics of tuberculosis is coughing up blood and the lungs will rot.

It can still be cured in modern times, but in ancient times, this disease could only wait for death.

Severe cases of tuberculosis can cause high fever, and without treatment you will die quickly.

Seeing the sickly woman coughing up blood in front of him, Fan Zui immediately thought of another person.

Red Mansion Sister!

The reason why sister Lin later coughed up blood and died soon was because she contracted tuberculosis.

This was also the reason why Daiyu didn't like to get close to others later on.

At first, the cough will not stop, but as the condition worsens, the person will become as thin and pale as Sister Lin.

Everyone thought that Sister Lin was mean, weak, sensitive, and suspicious, so she didn't want to get close to others.

But in fact, she was suffering from tuberculosis, so even after taking so many medicines, it was not good.

Worst of all, tuberculosis is contagious and has turned into a plague in history.

In ancient times, when this disease first occurred, people thought it was a plague.

If one person coughs up blood and has a low fever, everyone in the village will cough up blood and die.

Only later was it finally possible to curb its spread.

Otherwise, Lin Wan'er wouldn't be alive now.

He had been buried alive long ago.

"Sister Lin?" Fan Zui met the weak eyes and asked tentatively.

The woman seemed stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

At that moment, Lin Wan'er was in a trance. How did he know that his surname was Lin?

Then I quickly realized that the other person was talking about Lin Daiyu in "Red Mansions".

She has always liked "Red Mansions" very much and couldn't put it down.

Moreover, her favorite character is Lin Daiyu.

In this person, she seemed to see another version of herself.

She glanced at Fan Zui, hurriedly hid the chicken drumstick behind her back, and said, "Sorry, I bumped into you."

The two walked out of the restaurant together and walked side by side.

"Have you been suffering from tuberculosis for some time?" Fan Zui asked after taking a sip of wine.
