After a few days, under the careful care of Wang Jiajia and I, the swelling of my mother's injury finally subsided and she no longer had a fever. However, how can a person who is used to working hard be free? Every day she wants to get out of bed.
After a lot of activity, I didn't dare to relax for a moment.
"Mom, I made fish soup for you, please try it quickly." Wang Jiajia's voice came as she walked into the house with a soup bowl, bringing an alluring aroma.
"Jiajia, come on, sit here." Auntie moved to the bed and directed Wang Jiajia to sit next to her. She smiled kindly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You prepare delicious food for me every day. Otherwise, everything will be in jeopardy."
Tian only knows how to cook noodles and porridge."
"Haha, mother, drink it while it's hot. I bought this on the street just now. The fisherman said it was fresh fish just brought from the net."
"Um... Jiajia, would Dr. Du be willing to come and change the dressing?" I asked. I glanced at the fish soup and couldn't help but swallow. If it had happened before, I would have been indispensable for such a delicious thing, but
Now, I can only watch.
"Mom, don't worry, I've been to the Huichun Hall. Doctor Li said that he would let Dr. Du come back after seeing the excitement." Wang Jiajia didn't look at me and said to my mother, tucking the quilt on her shoulders.
"Watching the excitement? Is there anything happening in the city?" Aniang asked curiously.
"Today the ten candidates selected by Sister Mu are competing in an open competition!" Wang Jiajia also became excited: "I also took a look. Sister Mu is dressed beautifully today, just like... like a concubine in the palace!"
When I heard Wang Jiajia's praise, I couldn't help but laugh secretly. She had never seen her before, so she didn't know what the concubine's makeup looked like. However, with Madam Mu's beauty and temperament, she must have been shocked by such a grand occasion.
"Ten candidates?" I was extremely curious: "Who is the tenth person?"
Wang Jiajia finally glanced at me: "How can I remember so many people? But, they all have great looks and extraordinary skills. Oh, especially one of them, who looks very much like Dr. Li. I was shocked at the time
, I thought Dr. Li was also participating in the marriage proposal."
The first nine people are all secret agents. Who is the tenth person? Is there anyone else who looks like Dr. Li? How much does he look like?
I was filled with doubts, but I couldn't ask further questions. I had to excuse myself to clean the yard and let the two of them talk.
…
"Aunt Song, does Aunt Song live here?"
An hour later, there was a knock on the door. I recognized Du Xiuzhen's voice and quickly opened the door.
I saw that she was wearing a light yellow jacket and a long ginger skirt, which looked like leaves falling in the wind. She looked a little older in this dress. She must have deliberately made herself look older to show that she practices medicine.
Over the years, I have seen a lot.
There was a boy behind her, carrying a medicine box and smiling at me. He looked very familiar, as if he was the medicine man from Huichun Hall.
"Dr. Du, thank you for your hard work." I pointed towards my mother's room: "Please come this way."
"Doctor Du." Wang Jiajia also stood up and stepped aside.
"Oh, Doctor Du, I'm sorry to bother you. The day before yesterday, Jianghu carried me all the way there, and I was so tired after the round trip home that I was paralyzed, so today I... haha, in this way, Doctor Du was really tired." Auntie also said.
To put it politely, I was very embarrassed.
"It's okay. Our hospital can make outpatient visits. It's not like aunt doesn't pay the consultation fee, so don't feel embarrassed. It's human nature for aunt to feel sorry for her son." Du Xiuzhen spoke straightforwardly, but she did a good job of eliminating her mother's worries.
Guilty. She put her fingers on Auntie's wrist: "How are Auntie feeling today?"
"so far so good."
Du Xiuzhen took off the dressing again, wiped the wound with medicine, and nodded: "Well, the swelling has gone down, but there is still some exudation from the wound. If you change the dressing twice, it should be almost done, but you still don't get out of bed too early.
, it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days, it means to rest."
"Yes, yes, it all depends on the doctor." Aniang suddenly became well-behaved and answered repeatedly.
Du Xiuzhen reapplied the medicine, bandaged the wound, and took out two pieces of red paper from the medicine box: "Li Jianghu, Wang Jiajia, these two invitations were sent to you by Sister Xian'er. On the twelfth day of the winter lunar month
, that is, the day after tomorrow, Sister Xian'er will get married. If you are free, you are welcome to have a wedding banquet."
"What? Sister Mu has set a wedding date so soon?" Wang Jiajia was also very surprised: "I was in a hurry to come back and make fish soup, so I didn't look at it more. I wonder who among the ten people she finally chose?"
"No. 10, Li Dongsheng." Du Xiuzhen said with a smile: "He is both civil and military, versatile, and a perfect match for Sister Xian'er. And...hey, Sister Jiajia, have you gone to see them compete? Do you think that
Li Dongsheng looks very much like a person?"
"Like Dr. Li!"
"Yes, at a glance, he looks very much like Brother Li. No wonder Sister Xianer chose him in the end."
Madam Mu chose Li Dongsheng. Who is Li Dongsheng? Does she know him? Is it just because he looks like Li Huichun?
"Um... who is the Li Dongsheng you are talking about? How come you are so honored to be chosen by Madam Mu?" I asked pretending to be casual: "I heard that whoever became Madam Mu's husband is the new owner of Jianghu Inn. I don't know.
Is this person easy to get along with?"
"Oh, he is from Chang'an. It is said that he fled all the way after the Anshi Rebellion. When he arrived in our Xiangzhou City, he saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and wanted to settle down, so he hurriedly signed up. Even Mu County Lieutenant looked at him with special eyes. That night the immortal
My sister gave him a purse as a gift." Du Xiuzhen said, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Well... I'd better not go. I heard that someone in the family is sick, so it's not suitable to attend other people's wedding banquets, otherwise it would be unlucky." I resisted, feeling a little disappointed.
Mrs. Mu is finally getting married. If I don’t return my purse, who will she choose?
I have been struggling for several days, and I only hope that on the twelfth day of the winter lunar month, Wang Jiajia will come home again to change the dressing, and then I get some news about Madam Mu from her mouth.
Du Xiuzhen said that Madam Mu's wedding was very grand. The red carpet was rolled directly from Mu's Mansion to Jianghu Inn. Mu County Lieutenant personally escorted the wedding with people from the Sky Eye Team. The gongs and drums were loud, firecrackers were blasting, and it was very lively.
Du Xiuzhen said that Uncle Fu presided over the wedding, Meng Sima acted as the ceremony host, and Xiao Mu also personally congratulated.
Du Xiuzhen also said that during the banquet, Li Huichun looked at the joyful people in the hall, and seemed to remember his marriage with Madam Mu at the inn three years ago, and left the banquet in sorrow. Xiao Mu was also heartbroken when he saw the newlyweds bowing to heaven and earth.
, was helped to the guest room to rest by Mu County Lieutenant.
"I don't know where Brother Li has gone? I hope he can figure it out. Once you miss some people, you will never be together again." Du Xiuzhen said, as if she had studied the relationship thoroughly.
I suddenly felt worried. Now that things have happened, have I completely lost Mrs. Mu? No, nothing happened between me and her at all. The person I lost... was Wang Jiajia.
Du Xiuzhen glanced at her sleeping mother and said, "I'm worried about Brother Mu now. It can be seen that he really loves Sister Xian'er, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited. I wanted to comfort him."
, but was stopped by County Lieutenant Mu, thinking that he would come to change the dressing for the aunt, so he left first. I wonder how he is doing now? You are also his friend, can you help me persuade him more when you have time?
Also, Sister Jiajia, at the table, I think she seems to have something on her mind. I remember that she was very nervous when you hurt your eye last time. She must like you, but I don’t know about you... Hey, since Sister Xianer has already
Now that you’re married, shouldn’t you let it go?”
"Me? I have nothing to do with Mrs. Mu. Oh, she can be regarded as my friend, no, maybe just my boss." I smiled: "It was Yang Mosheng who encouraged me to sign up, I just responded to the occasion.
."
"Yang Mosheng?" Du Xiuzhen looked outside and said, "By the way, I heard from Brother Mu that Wang Yicheng discovered that the wine he delivered to Jianghu Inn was laced with drugs, so the waiter who delivered the wine slipped halfway while the car was being pulled.
The wine was all broken, what a pity."
"Are you saying that Yang Mosheng has already taken action?" I became nervous.
"No, he doesn't want to expose his identity so soon. I, Aye, checked the broken wine jar. There was only a little laxative ingredient left in it. It is not poison. It will only make the sick person weaker after taking it."
I breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Yang Mosheng just wants people to eat up their stomachs at Jianghu Inn and cause trouble in the inn. Because once someone dies, it will be a major case. After careful investigation, it will be difficult for him to escape."
"His target is Brother Mu." Du Xiuzhen looked worried: "Meng Sima told me today that Brother Li deliberately said a few days ago that Brother Mu had caught the cold and had a bad cough. He was so sad at Sister Xian'er's wedding banquet.
It is normal for you to become seriously ill tomorrow."
I could feel a sense of conspiracy: "Do they want Xiao Mu to get sick and then have some plot?"
"At present, it should be so. So Meng Sima asked me to tell you to try to gain Yang Mosheng's trust and find out his next plan."
I scratched my head helplessly: "Dr. Du, are you here to change my grandma's dressing? Or are you here to convey a mission to me?"
Du Xiuzhen stuck out her tongue: "Auntie's injury is no longer serious. Just remove the dressing in two days. Brother Mu has been out of shape recently. If you don't want to listen to Meng Sima's words, I can't care. Anyway, my words are meaningful."
We’re here. Xiao Hu, take the medicine box and let’s go.”
After sending Du Xiuzhen away, I felt uneasy again. As the captain of the Wei team, it seems that I have not carried out a real mission. This time, Xiuzao lives in my house, should I just let him do whatever he wants? What's more?
, the matter of grandma’s injury must also be related to them. They hurt grandma, how could I sit idly by and ignore it!
I packed up the household items for making tofu, cleaned the stone mill, poured out an appropriate amount of soybeans, sieved them, and soaked them in water. After so long delay, it was time to get back to my old business.
I wonder if Mrs. Mu will show up in public after her marriage? If she really leaves the entire inn to her husband to take care of, how should I get along with him? A refugee who is obviously coming to Mrs. Mu’s inn, what will he do?
Can he take care of the inn? Can he make Mrs. Mu happy?
