Chapter 15: eccentric

Chapter 15 Eccentricity

The grandparents and grandchildren ate together around the table. Although the Xie family had many rules, they did not have a complete "eating without speaking" rule. During the dinner, Xie Tiao asked Yu Yu to give her the vegetable cloth that Xie Zhiwei had looked at a few times. It can be said that Xie Zhiwei, the granddaughter, is very important.

Feng's eyes hurt when he looked at it. When his granddaughter was around, the old man almost never asked, and he never had a meal at the same table.

The old man's eccentricity can be said to be undisguised.

After dinner, it’s already dark, so hurry up.

Xie Tiao didn't ask people to send Xie Zhiwei back immediately, but left her to talk for a while, all about medical skills, both sophisticated and curious. I have memorized all the medical books for my family's dowry.

At first, I just wanted to ask a few questions, but Xie Zhiwei brought him too many surprises. This granddaughter has amazing talents in medicine.

Xie Zhiwei helped the old man get a peace pulse, and pointed out several physical problems of the old man. He couldn't sleep well at night. Whenever the weather changed, he would cough for half an hour at Yinshi and couldn't sleep. In winter, Zishi After that, the hands and feet will gradually warm up. The doctors in the mansion have considered several prescriptions, but none of them have much effect after the old man took them.

"Grandfather, if you just rely on the pulse condition, there is nothing serious about your grandfather's health. Presumably the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor are mostly for nourishing qi and blood, calming the fire in the lungs, nourishing yin and nourishing yang, so the effect is not great. If the medicine is right for the symptoms, it is Good medicine, if not suitable for the symptoms, will not only fail to cure the disease, but will also harm the body. Therefore, Wen Zaizhi, a great physician in the former dynasty, once said in "Wen's Medical Records of Cough", "It is not difficult to use medicine, but it is difficult to verify it." "

Xie Tiao stroked his beard and nodded slowly, "In your opinion, how should grandfather be cured?"

"Grandfather is fine, so naturally he doesn't need treatment, but granddaughter can prescribe a medicinal prescription for grandfather's body. Within three days, these symptoms of grandfather will be relieved. After using this autumn, there will be no recurrence in the future. "

Xie Tiao smiled happily. This granddaughter, he hadn't realized before, was so understanding of people's hearts. He was extremely happy when he said "no harm".

When you are old, who wants to hear others say that you are sick?

Feng's complexion is very ugly. She has been married to Xie Tiao for more than 20 years and knows him best. Xie Tiao seems to be smiling and gentle, like a jade, but in fact he has the most indifferent and alienated temperament. Except for Xie Zhiwei, she I have never seen Xie Tiao treat anyone so gently.

"Then I'll wait for sister Wei to help me recuperate my body." Xie Tiao didn't feel that his granddaughter was too big, but rather appreciated her self-confidence.

Feng Shi was trembling with anger, Xie Tiao was too biased, they were all his granddaughters, Xue Wanqing was born of their only daughter, although Xie Zhihui had a bit of a temper, Xie Tiao also said that this granddaughter had a real temperament, but she didn't Seeing that Xie Tiao cares so much about other granddaughters.

Seeing that it was getting late at night, Xie Zhiwei got up and said goodbye, "Grandfather, although you are busy with official duties, you should rest earlier on weekdays. There are times when you live in your husband's bedroom, and you should eat moderately, have a moderate amount of leisure and work, and have no suffering."

Xie Tiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. He only knew today that his granddaughter is really a wonderful person. Xie Tiao was respected as the leader of scholars, how could he not know that Xie Zhiwei changed the original words in Confucius' family language.

"Confucius's Family Discourse·Wuyi": "Where the husband sleeps frequently, eats improperly, and overworks, the disease will kill them together."

Feng's face was gloomy, she endured for a long time, and was about to order Nanny Yu to send her back, when she saw her look over with half a smile and reminded, "Grandmother, don't forget about my mother's dowry." Take an inventory, when it is ready, order someone to send the account book to my yard."

Bang Dang!

The 18-zi bracelet in Feng's hand fell to the ground, the string broke, and the beads rolled all over the floor.

Nanny Yu hurriedly bent down to pick up the beads, Xie Zhiwei glanced at the ground, she knew that Feng Shi loved this bracelet very much, she didn't dare to help, fearing that Feng Shi would get extremely angry and ruin the good bracelet, so she bent her knees , turned and left.

Xie Tiao's eyes fell on the beads, his voice was so calm that there was no sound in the ancient well, he didn't ask anything, but Feng wished that he could ask a question.

Feng waited until Mammy Yu had picked up almost all the beads before she breathed out, "Miss Wei, the older she gets, the more impatient she becomes. I, as a grandmother, will help her take care of her mother's dowry. What is she worried about? Is it possible that I am still ignorant? "

Xie Tiao looked at Feng Shi, still silent, but his gaze was still terrifyingly calm.

He just looked at it like this, and Feng Shi was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.

In these years, although Xie Tiao respected her more than he loved her, he never felt sorry for her. There has never been such a time.

"Old man, what are you doing looking at me like this?"

"The emperor has made a decree to order the Cui family to become an official. Someone from the Cui family will soon enter the capital. When the Cui family married into the Xie family, the eldest daughter of the Cui family was the wife of the Xie family. Don't be afraid, just give it a try!"

If it wasn't for Cui's short life, how could the Xie family have come to this point!

The eldest son was named on the gold list at the age of seventeen, and the bridal chamber was decorated with candles. He had two major happy events in his life, and he had them every year.

Later, Cui fell ill and died before the Cui family's miracle doctor came. Although the eldest son continued to marry, he no longer had any interest in official career, and later simply abandoned literature and joined the military.

After going to the frontier, I didn't come back for five years.

"Old man, how can you say such a thing, you don't trust me, you think I will also be ignorant of Cui's dowry?" The old lady felt chills.

"You said this. If you have no regrets, why do you care what I say?" After Xie Tiao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, walked out with his hands behind his back, leaving only a ruthless back view.

Feng Shi watched Xie Tiao's back disappear behind the curtain, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, her eyes went dark, and she fell on the Arhat bed.

Nurse Yu panicked and hurriedly wanted to call the doctor, Feng Shi slowed down, waved her hand, and stopped her, "Don't let people think that I'm just putting on a show!"

Who dares to say that the old lady is acting? Nanny Yu knew that the old lady was afraid that the old man would think so.

"Old lady, is it possible that the old man really thinks so?" Nanny Yu couldn't believe it.

Feng knew that the old man never said a word. What kind of person is he, and there are times when he is led by the nose?

The Xie family has been passed down for more than a hundred years. When she married in the past, there were millions of silver deposits in the public house alone. She was really shocked. Later, slowly, she realized that these aristocratic families really have profound backgrounds. .

My natal family’s Yongchang Hou’s Mansion is said to be honorable, and the female relatives are required to make needlework and sell it to earn money for rouge and gouache.

How much is a knighthood worth?

When Cui Shi married in, the load of dowry made her feel ashamed. When she married into Xie's family, the one hundred and twenty-eight dowries she pieced together were nothing compared to Cui Shi's dowry.

Some people can see these things.

Feng stayed up all night, tossing and turning.

Xie Zhiwei had a good night's sleep, and the next morning, Zi Mo came in and said, "Young lady, you can sleep a little longer. The old lady sent someone to tell you that you don't have to go to say hello this morning."

"What's the matter?" Xie Zhiwei asked half asleep, but she didn't hear what Zi Mo said. She turned over and fell asleep again, and woke up an hour later than usual.
