Chapter 644, critically ill

After Dong’s family left, Daohua was depressed for a few days. After that, she stayed with Mrs. Li every day to check the accounts, and prepare for the year-end exchanges.

After reconciling the accounts, looking at the increasing wealth of the Yan family, Mrs. Li’s smile deepened: "Before, I learned that your father took over as the prefect of Ningmen Mansion. I am willing."

"Ningmen Mansion is vast and sparsely populated. Most of the counties under its jurisdiction are barren and poor. People are poor and difficult to manage. But now that I think about it, coming here is the best place for our family."

The land is wide and sparsely populated, so they can buy more villagers and fields.

It may not be cost-effective to buy it from other people, but their family has high-yielding grains, and they almost always make a profit without losing the land.

Thinking of the origin of grain seeds, Mrs. Li looked at Daohua lovingly. The old lady said it right, and her daughter is from Wang's family.

Seeing Madam Li staring at herself, Daohua smiled and asked, "Mother, why are you looking at your daughter like this?"

Ms. Li smiled and patted the account book on the table: "With the current family business, my mother can prepare a decent dowry for you."

The smile on Daohua's face stagnated.

witnessed the forced separation of the third brother and Jingwan, and later saw Yuan Yao and Sun Changze elope, she deeply realized that in the ancient times of strict ethics, free love is not allowed in the world.

Obviously it is their own life-long event, but they can't do anything about it.

Xiao Yeyang. The shackles on him are more and heavier, can she and him have a future?

The busyness of the day makes the time pass quickly, and it’s the New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, the Yan family gathered for breakfast in Mrs. Yan’s yard.

Just after breakfast, while everyone was chatting happily, Wang Man'er suddenly walked to Daohua in a hurry and whispered to her: "Girl, Dongli is here."

After hearing this, Daohua was taken aback, why would Dongli come to her at this time? Worrying about an accident between the master and mother-in-law, after talking to Mrs. Li, he quickly left the house.

Soon, I saw Dongli at Suihuamen.

As soon as he saw Daohua, Dongli said eagerly, "Girl, the old lady has relapsed again."

Daohua's face sank: "What's the matter? My mother-in-law was obviously fine when I went to give the New Year gift two days ago."

Dongli hesitated and said, “Just the day before yesterday, the little lord came to Taohua Temple to pick up the old man, and then the old lady fell ill.”

Daohua looked surprised: "Master and Xiao Yeyang left? Where did they go?"

Dongli lowered his head and said nothing.

Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "Master has left, who is taking care of that mother-in-law now?"

Dongli quickly said: "Caiju is taking care of it."

Daohua groaned: "You are waiting here, I will talk to my family, and then I will go to Taohua Village with you."

I heard that Granny Gu was sick, and Gu Jian was out again. Mrs. Li didn't stop Daohua and asked her to go and take care of her.

Taohua Temple.

When Daohua came over, Grandma Gu was lying on the bed with a high fever. Caiju was so anxious that she almost cried. Seeing Daohua was like seeing a savior.

"Mother-in-law!"

Daohua lay on the bedside and whispered softly, but the old lady was already burnt, and she was screaming vaguely.

I saw Daohua, she quickly cooled her temperature, and prescribed a fever-reducing prescription, and asked Caiju to boil the medicine.

Having been busy for most of the day, Granny Gu’s fever subsided.

Daohua breathed a sigh of relief and went to the pharmacy again to find out the prescription that Gu Jian had used to treat the old disease of Granny Gu before, and boiled the medicine according to the prescription.

Granny Gu drank the medicine, and then fell asleep smoothly.

At this time, it is already on the branch.

Taohua asked Wang Man'er to guard the old mother-in-law in the room, and then went to the hall to see Caiju and Dongli.

"Let’s talk about it, what is going on?"

Caiju and Dongli looked at each other, and finally Caiju opened her mouth: "Girl, we really don’t know. The little prince came in a hurry the day before yesterday. We didn’t hear what we said to the old master."

Daohua stared at the two of them for a long time, but couldn't see anything from the faces of the two of them, and finally asked, "Since Xiao Yeyang has taken Master away, there should be nothing wrong with it. , How could the mother-in-law relapse?

Caiju and Dongli immediately knelt down and kowtow: "It's the little one who didn't take good care of the old lady. Please punish the girl."

Looking at the two people who were kowtowing their heads with guilt and guilt, Daohua narrowed her eyes. She always felt that the two of them had concealed something from her, but both of them gritted their teeth. Can go back to the room to take care of the old mother-in-law.

Early the next morning, that is, the first day of the new year, Daohua asked Wang Man'er to go back to Ningmen Mansion to inquire about the situation.

Wang Man'er came back in the evening.

"Girl, Deshou said that the little prince has returned to Beijing, and for the rest, no matter what the servants ask, he didn't say a word."

Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "Return to Beijing?" She took her master with her.

Master can help Xiao Yeyang, that is, his medical skills, is it to bring him to Beijing to treat people?

But if this is the case, the mother-in-law shouldn’t be so anxious that her old illness will recur.

Obviously, the mother-in-law got the disease this time because of too much thought and anxiety.

knows too little news, Daohua can't figure it out, so she can only take care of the old mother-in-law.

However, Granny Gu’s illness has been repeated again and again. No matter how much Daohua comforts her, she can't relieve her, but in just half a month, she has lost a lot of weight.

Looking at the sullen old mother-in-law, Daohua was also anxious. She was afraid that this would continue. Before the master came back, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Man'er, you will return to Ningmen Mansion again, let Deshou send a letter to Xiao Yeyang, telling Xiao Yeyang that her mother-in-law is ill, and let him come back with Master as soon as possible."

Wang Man'er hurriedly left.

Caiju and Dongli met, they were doing their own things silently, and said nothing. In fact, they sent a message to Jingcheng as early as the first time the old woman fell ill.

Half a month, the old master and the little prince have not come back, it must be the emperor's situation is more critical.

This time, Wang Man'er returned to Ningmen Mansion and brought Daohua back with a burst of news.

"The Eight Kings are conspiring to rebel, and when the emperor goes up to the tomb to worship the ancestors, they send out killers to assassinate the emperor."

Daohua was shocked, and asked eagerly: "Is the emperor okay? Also, where is the eight kings, has the eight kings caught it?"

Wang Man'er: "The eight kings escaped. The emperor seems to be injured."

Daohua condensed her eyebrows in thought.

Xiao Yeyang hurriedly left and took the master back to Beijing, seemingly to save the emperor.

Thinking of this, Daohua's brows furrowed even tighter, and the time to treat the emperor would certainly not be short, so Master would not be able to come back in a short time.

"Little Five."

When Daohua went to give medicine to Granny Gu, she heard her vaguely whispering again.

But this time she finally heard it clearly.

Five?

Five Lords?

Mother-in-law is worried about the fifth master?

"Ahem~"

Old mother-in-law coughed violently.

Daohua quickly patted her on the back, smoothly.

"Puff~"

Suddenly, Granny Gu coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Caiju saw that the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

Daohua was also shocked by the vomiting blood of old grandmother, she was wiping her blood while thinking quickly, and between the sparks of calcium carbide, she quickly made up a lie: "Mother-in-law, Xiao Yeyang just wrote to me and said that the fifth master is okay. Master and him will be back in a few days."

Sure enough, when she heard this, old mother-in-law's muddy eyes suddenly lit up, and her panting was less severe. Her dry hands clung to rice flowers tightly: "Really?"

Seeing the eagerness and hope in Granny Gu's eyes, Daohua swallowed her saliva, and then nodded affirmatively: "Really." After saying that, he helped her lean on her shoulder, and let Wang Man'er bring clean water to rinse her mouth. , And then quickly scooped a spoonful of medicine to her mouth.

"Mother-in-law, the master is coming back soon, but can't let him see that you are sick, otherwise he must be worried again, let's drink the medicine soon."

Granny Gu pulled out a smile and nodded.

After listening to the lies made by Daohua, the old mother-in-law's spirit improved a lot, but she coughed violently every night and vomited blood every time she coughed.

This scene makes Daohua, Caiju, and Dongli extremely heavy.
