Chapter 5 Death
The Song family called Wei Liu to the flower hall, dismissed the serving maids, and asked him: "What happened to the Seventh Lady?"
Wei Liu shook his head: "Younger, I don't know. We were going to Chu Mountain with Master Sanlang. Master Sanlang led the people on horseback to go ahead, and I led the people behind to rush over. On the way, we met Qi Niangzi heading to the city alone.
Coming from the direction of the door."
"Alone? Qingzhu Qiongzhi didn't follow?" Mrs. Song frowned.
"Yes. We were in a hurry at that time, and that girl Aman recognized her in time. Seeing that the seventh lady was seriously injured, I thought of taking her back home for treatment first, and sent someone to tell Master Sanlang that he had found the seventh lady and asked him to
Bring people back."
"Where is the seventh lady injured?"
"The villain saw that she had a large bruise on her forehead, and her body was covered with mud, as if she had fallen from a high place. But..." Wei Liu paused, "The Seventh Lady's throat seems to have been injured as well. I don't know.
What’s the specific situation?”
He thought for a while and continued: "When we were outside the city, the Seventh Lady also said that she was not feeling well and could not get any sunlight at the moment."
Mrs. Song thought of He Lingjiang's appearance just now, and frowned slightly: "I can't get sunlight. I don't know what the symptoms are."
She sighed and said to Wei Liu: "Thank you for your hard work. Go and pay fifty taels of silver to the account, and use it to warm wine with your men."
Wei Liu clasped his fists in thanks.
Mrs. Song waved her hand: "You go and rest first. Restrain your subordinates, do more and talk less."
"Yes." Wei Liu lowered his head and retreated.
Mrs. Song pressed her eyebrows and sighed again.
The Seventh Lady is only three months younger than Yunjia, and will be fourteen after the turn of the year. After the fifteenth birthday and the hairpin ceremony, she can talk to her husband's family.
Now that she has been missing for a night and returned injured, there are so many eyes in the house that she cannot hide it. Even though she has always been indulgent in her behavior, this matter will have a bad impact on her reputation. At the moment, she can only restrain everyone in the house.
However, when it comes to controlling heaven and earth, it is most difficult to control people’s mouths. Otherwise, how could there be so much right and wrong arising from words?
She walked out of the flower hall and looked at Chen Nv who was waiting outside: "Is the doctor here?"
"He's already here. He's in the seventh lady's yard."
"Let's go take a look." She was worried about He Lingjiang's injury. After taking care of these things, she wanted to go over and take a look.
As soon as Mrs. Song walked outside He Lingjiang's yard, she heard a mess and commotion inside.
Aman stood guard in front of the house, with one man blocking the way and preventing thousands of people from getting away.
He Yunjia was patting He Lingjiang's door and shouted: "Lingjiang, please open the door quickly. The doctor is here, let him go in to treat you."
The door didn't open, and there wasn't any sound coming from inside.
"He Lingjiang, open the door. If you are injured, treat it quickly. Do you want to make it worse as you delay?"
He Yunchu also stepped forward to persuade: "Yes, Ling Jiang, you need to get diagnosed and treated quickly so that you can get better quickly. Don't you love riding horses? When you are healed, we will go hunting on Zhuangzi."
The room was still silent.
Ms. Song stepped into the courtyard and frowned at everyone: "Why is it so noisy?"
He Yunjia stamped her feet: "Auntie, Ling Jiang won't open the door, and won't let the doctor in for diagnosis and treatment."
Mrs. Song looked over, and saw old doctor Sun standing in the yard with a medicine box, looking helpless. The patient was not allowed in, and the black girl was guarding the door. What else could he do?
She walked to the door and knocked twice: "Ling Jiang, let Dr. Sun give you a diagnosis and treatment."
The door continued to be silent, and she wanted to persuade her again.
A hoarse voice came out: "I'm fine, no need to see a doctor."
Mrs. Song said: "You have a bruise on your forehead, right? It's not good if you have scars on your body, little lady. Let Dr. Sun take a look at it. Also, is your throat also injured? You need to see if it's serious."
It’s serious.”
The voice from the door replied: "Just apply medicine on your forehead. My throat was accidentally cut. It will be fine in a few days."
Ms. Song frowned, feeling even more worried: "Slitting your throat is not a trivial matter."
"It's just a wound to the throat. It will take a few days to recover. The doctor left the medicine and I will use it myself."
Mrs. Song sighed helplessly: "Are there any other injuries on the body?"
Maybe he talked a little too much, so the voice took a few breaths and then said: "Nothing."
A slight breath came: "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. Aman is watching and no one else is allowed to disturb me."
When Aman heard the instructions from the Seventh Lady, he immediately responded loudly: "Don't worry, Seventh Lady, Aman will definitely watch over you."
He Yunjia glared at her angrily, where did this black girl come from?
"Um."
After that, the room became silent again.
Mrs. Song tried to persuade her a few more times, but there was no response from the house. People could not break in.
She walked up to Old Doctor Sun helplessly and said, "Excuse me, Old Doctor Sun, your trip was in vain. Qiniang accidentally fell and got hurt, and she felt unhappy, so she acted a little bit."
"Nothing." Old Doctor Sun waved his hand. The young ladies all cherished their looks. It was not uncommon for them to feel that they were in a state of embarrassment and did not want to see anyone.
"Since the Seventh Lady doesn't want to see a doctor, there is nothing we can do. I just heard from Madam about her injury. There are some medicines here that may be symptomatic, so you can use them first."
As he spoke, he took out two boxes of ointments and a bottle of pills from the medicine box.
"This is White Yusheng Muscle Cream. If you have abrasions, bruises or cuts, as long as the wound is not too deep, if you insist on using it for two months, there will be no scars."
"This bottle is Ophiopogon Yinhuang Pills, which can moisten the throat and eliminate inflammation in the throat. However, it will be better to prescribe medicine after diagnosis and treatment."
Mrs. Song stretched out her hand to take it, her tone full of helplessness: "This child is having a tantrum, and I may invite you over later."
"It doesn't matter, Madam can just send someone to call him when the time comes."
Mrs. Song thought for a while and then asked: "Old doctor Sun, it's just that Qiniang suddenly can't get out of the sun, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable all over. I don't know why?
When Old Doctor Sun heard this, he frowned, and his old face with many grooves showed a bit of vicissitudes of life: "Can't bask in the sun? I have heard of this situation. Some people, due to physical reasons, don't care about ordinary things of others.
When it comes to him, he will show discomfort."
Seeing that Mr. Song was puzzled, he explained: "For example, peanuts are common, but some people will get rashes all over their bodies after eating peanuts by mistake, and even die from it. It has been recorded in ancient books that once some people are exposed to the sun, they will develop
I have rashes all over my body and feel uncomfortable.”
"But Qiniang has never been in this situation before."
"Just like some people who were able to eat peanuts before, but due to changes in soil and water or external stimulation, they suddenly can't eat peanuts. This situation also happens. As for which category Qiniangzi belongs to, I have not diagnosed her pulse after all.
I don’t dare to jump to conclusions.”
Mrs. Song frowned slightly: "Then how should we treat it?"
Regarding this problem, Dr. Sun currently has no solution available: "I can only ask the Seventh Lady to pay more attention to avoid exposure to sunlight."
In Linchuan, the weather is mostly sunny all year round. If you want to avoid the sun, you will inevitably have a lot of inconvenience in your daily life. But there is no way.
Mrs. Song thanked Dr. Sun and asked Chen Nuo to send him to the accounting office to collect the consultation fee.
The maids in the courtyard stood aside with bewildered expressions. The Seventh Lady was injured, but she did not let the doctor see her, nor let anyone come in to serve her. Qingzhu and Qiongzhi were not around, so they did not know what to do.
Mrs. Song felt that she had sighed a lot that day, so she told Aman: "Take good care of the Seventh Lady. When she wakes up, remember to give her the medicine."
