Section 038 Shelling

The steward invited the old man of the Xia family to the outer study room.

Xia Lue, the old man of the Xia family, is of medium height and thin, and looks shriveled as he gets older.

His hair is thin and gray, and his face is sharp and white.

Looking at Song Pan'er's face, he must be a mean and stingy person, and she disliked him very much.

Following Mr. Xia was his eldest disciple Sun Ke. Sun Ke was tall and slender, but very thin. Because he was too thin, he had a long face and a sharp mouth like a monkey's cheeks. When wearing straight clothes, he looked loose and awkward.

Song Pan'er probably doesn't like anyone today.

Gu Yanzhen bowed to Mr. Xia and Sun Ke without showing any displeasure.

Song Pan'er didn't shy away from the suspicion either, and was perfunctory to help her body.

Because of the presence of his wife, Sun Ke was a little cautious, and his usual alertness was reduced by half. He didn't quite understand why the women of the Gu family were so generous and followed the men to receive guests?

Naturally, he could not guess that Song Pan'er was afraid that Gu Yanzhen would suffer a loss, so she refused to avoid it and wanted to help.

She is already the mother of a teenager, so she is still afraid of people looking at her?

The maid served tea, Gu Yanzhen drank tea with her, and Song Pan'er sat at the end.

The couple said nothing about a follow-up visit.

Mr. Xia was even more unhappy, thinking in his mind: He came to visit in person. Even if Gu Yanzhen was not flattered, he should still say thank you. Why did he look so bland?

Is it great to have a noble title in your family? If you are really capable, why would you come to Yanling?

Mr. Xia sneered secretly in his heart.

He didn't speak either.

Seeing that the scene was getting colder, Sun Ke warmed up the scene with a smile and asked Gu Yanzhen: "Master Gu, I wonder how the young master's condition is after taking medicine?"

Gu Yanzhen just laughed, unable to say anything.

He was very soft-hearted, and considering Mr. Xia's age, he said in front of Mr. Xia that he had diagnosed the wrong disease and used the wrong medicine, fearing that the old man would be in trouble. So Gu Yanzhen didn't know how to say it.

"Not good!" Song Pan'er saw that Gu Yanzhen was dull for a moment, knowing that he would definitely say something nice against his will, so he immediately picked up the conversation.

Mr. Xia paused with his hand holding the tea cup.

Sun Ke looked at Gu Yanzhen in confusion.

Before Gu Yanzhen could stop her, Song Pan'er whispered again: "I took medicine yesterday and slept for most of the day. I woke up at night and vomited after drinking some water..."

Mr. Xia's pale face suddenly turned red.

Not ashamed, but angry!

He thought Song Paner was talking nonsense!

From the moment Gu Yanzhen took the child to the Xia Family Baicao Hall, it was a conspiracy, right?

"A dose of medicine, although it cannot cure the disease, can still have some effects. Maybe my wife has remembered it wrong about vomiting again?" Mr. Xia's voice was cold, with a bit of majesty and anger.

Song Pan'er became angry when she heard this.

She usually criticizes others, but has she ever received such cynicism from others? If she did, Song Pan'er would usually fight back on the spot.

"A dose of medicine will cure the disease?" Song Pan'er said in a soft voice with a smile, "Old man, when did you have this ability?"

Because of his age, Xia Lue was one of the elders in the Xinglin world, so everyone respectfully called him "old man".

As for medical skills, they are really lacking.

Compared to Song Pan'er's direct sarcasm, what Mr. Xia just said was really polite.

So he was so angry that his lungs exploded: What kind of wife is the wife of a prince, she looks like a street shrew!

After listening to Song Pan'er's words, he remembered that he had seen Hu Jie's laryngeal paralysis a few days ago and judged it to be a fatal disease, and then was saved by Gu Jinzhi. He had been ridiculed a lot, and old and new hatreds came to his heart.

Because of his anger, his pale face suddenly turned purple. He stood up suddenly and asked Gu Yanzhen: "Mr. Gu, there is no distinction between inside and outside in your house? Where does the noise come from when we men talk?"

This means that when their men talk, Song Paner interrupts and there are no rules.

Song Pan'er has never been a gentle, virtuous, timid and timid mistress, but she never felt that she was inferior in front of men.

If other women were scolded by Mr. Xia like this, they would be so embarrassed that their faces would turn red.

Song Paner's smile remained unchanged and she was not angry at all.

"Old man, our family is not as high-ranking as yours. If you have time, teach us juniors the rules. Mrs. Song is not sensible. If you do something wrong, you will have to apologize." Song Pan'er said with a smile, and stood up to follow her.

Mr. Xia bowed.

These words made people blush.

It was as if Mr. Xia had hit with 30% of his strength, and Song Pan'er had fought back with 120% of his strength. Not only the old man, but also Sun Ke's face turned red with anger.

Gu Yanzhen also stood up, stood in front of Song Pan'er, and secretly turned Song Pan'er with his elbow to signal her to stop talking.

Song Paner smiled and took a few steps back.

She had said all she needed to say.

"Mr. Xia misunderstood, Zhuo Jing remembered correctly. Quan Zi took medicine last night and indeed couldn't stop vomiting." Gu Yanzhen looked at Xia Luezi and Sun Ke who were both furious and didn't know what to say for a moment.

His words added fuel to the fire.

Seeing the protruding veins on the foreheads of the master and apprentice, Gu Yanzhen remembered whether he had done something wrong.

If it were said that it was his father who favored Gu Xiuzhi, would Mr. Xia think that Gu Yanzhen was looking for trouble and deliberately embarrass him?

Because Song Pan'er insulted Xia Lue Zi first, Gu Yanzhen had to change his words later: "...Then I stopped vomiting after taking the prescription prescribed by my little girl."

It was Gu Jinzhi who first told Gu Yanzhen that Dabupleurum decoction should be used, although Gu Yanzhen firmly believed that it was his father's diagnosis, not Gu Jinzhi's.

Xia Luozi's face became even more ugly.

The more he said, the more wrong he became. Gu Yanzhen could only say: "Mr. Xia, please take a look again..."

With that said, he led Xia Luezi and Sun Ke into the Nuan Pavilion.

Song Pan'er took the opportunity to retreat.

Xia Luezi and Sun Ke both held back their breath and followed Gu Yanzhen into the Nuan Pavilion. They came to slap Gu Shifei in the face, but they didn't know they were actually being tricked by the Gu family!

Xia Lue was so angry that he was half dead.

The Gu family said that if they used the wrong medicine, they would use the wrong medicine? Xia Lue would have to see for himself.

Dare you insult him with lies?

Do you think the Xia family is easy to mess with?

He wanted to see it with his own eyes and argue with Gu Shifei!

In the study's warm pavilion, a pot of crabapple is placed in the corner. It has no fragrance, but its color is hot and blooming. It is set against the eight boxwood screens, which embellish the beauty and add vitality to the room.

Gu Xiuzhi was lying on the Arhat bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

There were voices outside just now, and he heard them all.

When the footsteps came in, he opened his eyes and looked at the visitor in confusion, guessing the identity of the visitor.

Gu Yanzhen told him that this was a doctor who was here to treat him.

Gu Xiuzhi nodded obediently.

Mr. Xia saw that the child's complexion had improved. It was obvious that his medicine had taken effect, and he dared to say that he had used Dabupleurum decoction!

Do you think he is a blind man with unclear dialectics?

The Gu family wants to falsely accuse him of poor medical skills, but it's not that easy!

When Gu Yanzhen asked him for another follow-up consultation, Xia Luezi became more serious. He looked at the child's tongue coating, and then took the pulse seriously...

It's just that this pulse...

He suddenly felt a chill rush up his back.

This pulse is strong and solid, which is clearly Yangming syndrome.

The complexion shows Shaoyang syndrome, but the pulse shows Yangming syndrome. This is the coexistence of Shaoyang and Yangming...

Xia Luezi could only feel his hand on Gu Xiuzhi's pulse, and couldn't take it back for a long time!

If he hadn't been angry yesterday and was flattered by his eldest disciple Sun Ke, he wouldn't have been so anxious to show off in front of his disciples and diagnosed him without taking his pulse!

Making a diagnosis without taking a pulse is so majestic!

Now it seems that this prestige has not been achieved!

But he was encouraged by Sun Ke to go to Gu Shifei's house for follow-up consultation in person. He wanted to meet Gu Shifei and give him some color. Who knew...

Not only did his back feel cold, Xia Lue's whole body felt cold now.

What should I do? How should this end?

Xia Luo turned his eyes away, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

His behavior startled Gu Yanzhen, and he quickly asked: "Mr. Xia, has the dog's illness recurred?"

If it were someone else, he could still fool him! The old man of the Gu family has been a royal doctor. If he answers repeatedly now, wouldn't he take the initiative to stretch his face to others for a slap?

Nowadays, it is not possible to advance, nor to retreat!

Mr. Xia's forehead was sweating more and more.

"Teacher, mentor, what's wrong with you?" Sun Ke was anxious and stepped forward to hold Xia Luezi's shoulders.

Xia Lue couldn't think of how to escape for a while, his vision went dark, and he pretended to have fainted.

This frightened Sun Ke and Gu Yanzhen.

The two of them were shocked: How could he pass out just like that? Mr. Xia was already sixty years old, could he just die like this?

You can't die in the Gu family!

Gu Yanzhen was anxious, Sun Ke was even more anxious.

The old man was brought out by Sun Ke. If he died, how would he explain to the Xia family?

This is simply impossible to explain!

"What's wrong?" Just when they were wondering what to do, they suddenly heard the crisp voice of a girl at the door.

As soon as Gu Yanzhen saw that it was Gu Jinzhi, she rushed to the doctor and hurriedly pulled her arm: "Sister Jin, Sister Jin! Come and have a look! Mr. Xia suddenly fainted!"

Sun Ke recovered from the shock and fear and was already taking Xia Lue's pulse.

After calling for a moment, a question appeared on his face: Why are you pretending to be unconscious? Did you really get the wrong diagnosis?

He asked the old man to lie flat on the ground, pondering over the old man's intentions and whether to wake him up.

Gu Jinzhi listened to his father's words and squatted down to check the old man's pulse.

One look at his pulse showed that he was pretending to be unconscious.

She glanced at Gu Xiuzhi and roughly understood what was going on. She couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

This old man's golden cicada shelling method is too...

But you have to say something to make him get away successfully. He wouldn't pretend to be unconscious unless he was forced to do so, right?

"Dad, please ask someone to move this pot of crabapple out quickly." Gu Jinzhi said, "Dr. Xia is afraid that he will be poisoned after smelling the fragrance of this crabapple..."

Gu Yanzhen suddenly realized it and moved out personally.

But during the move, I realized that crabapples have no fragrance at all.

He was a little confused.

Sun Ke is worried about his illness. What should he say so as not to be seen through by the Gu family and to preserve the dignity of his master.

However, Gu Jinzhi made up the story of poisoning when he opened his mouth...

But, can crabapple incense be poisonous?

Sun Ke remembered that the smell of crabapples is non-toxic...

Then I thought again, could Miss Gu be so smart that she also noticed his master's embarrassment and deliberately helped?

He didn't care anymore. Someone came to the rescue, so he carried Xia Lue and left the Nuan Pavilion.

Xia Lue slowly woke up.

What is Begonia poisoning?

Damn it, Begonia has no fragrance at all!

Just like this gag, Xia Lue has retreated from the Gu family, and his old face has turned completely black...

Afterwards, Gu Yanzhen was worried and wanted to visit Xia's family to see what happened to Xia Luezi.

Gu Jinzhi felt that the last thing Xia Lue wanted to see now was the Gu family!

She pretended that Xia Lue was faint and told her father.

Gu Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

But he misjudged the symptoms, and the old man was too angry.

After Song Paner found out, she laughed so hard!

"Don't let it out yet, tomorrow is Mr. Xia's sixtieth birthday!" Gu Yanzhen said to Song Pan'er, "Sixty is a big hurdle. You have invited so many disciples back to celebrate your birthday, so don't embarrass others."

Song Pan'er also felt that one should not force people to a dead end, otherwise they would cause trouble.

She seriously didn't mention it.

But the next day, all the birthday banquets originally arranged by the Xia family were cancelled, and the disciples dispersed. Mr. Xia stayed behind closed doors and saw no one.

"I didn't say anything to him, but he got angry!" Song Pan'er smiled.
