Chapter 12 Slave Punishment
The room was very quiet, and people who came in and out were walking on tiptoe, not daring to make any noise.
After a while, the smell of alcohol in the room was gradually covered by the scent of wormwood, with a magical power that made people relax involuntarily.
After taking Xie Mingxi's pulse just now, Xie Zhiwei knew that Xie Mingxi just had a cold, but the cold was very lingering and stubborn. Four days ago, Xie Mingxi recovered, so Yuan dared to go out with confidence.
That day, Yuan Shi didn't come back, Xie Mingxi's illness recurred, and the fever lasted for three days. If it was a little later, Xie Mingxi would not die, leaving one life, just like the previous life, burning his brain and becoming mentally retarded.
Xie Zhiwei didn't dare to think about it, and she blamed herself endlessly. If it wasn't for the fact that Yuan sent someone to pick her up for the chance of becoming the queen, she should have returned, and her brother would not have suffered such a serious crime.
"Mother, I said the prescription, you write it!" Xie Zhiwei moxibustion the acupuncture points, not too close, but not too far away.
"okay!"
Yuan Shi was a little at a loss. When the maid brought the pen and ink, her hand holding the pen was shaking.
"Four qian of ephedra, 2 qian of cinnamon twig, 2 qian of roasted licorice, 6 qian of almond, 3 qian of ginger, 10 pieces of jujube, 5 qian of raw gypsum..."
After Xie Zhiwei finished speaking, he paused for a long time, and added three herbs, "Three qian of silkworm sand, four qian of bamboo rut, and three qian of tangerine peel. Mother Tian, you can grab this medicine yourself, go outside."
Yuan is not stupid either. Hearing that Xie Zhiwei said that he was going to be arrested outside, he couldn't help but gasped when he thought of something.
There is a doctor in the family and there are medicinal materials in reserve, but after the medicine is caught, Xie Zhiwei will definitely check it out himself. Naturally, no one can hide it from her. If there is a problem, it will delay the matter. It is better to let Tian Nanny go outside to buy it.
"Don't worry, big girl. The servants will go to Huichuntang to get medicine. That store has a good reputation and doesn't sell fake medicines."
Xie Zhiwei thought about who was behind that house, and couldn't help but bend her lips into a smile. After seeing the prescription with her own eyes, she just nodded and told Nanny Tian to go as soon as possible.
It didn't take much effort to grab the medicine. Xie Zhiwei checked the medicinal materials and found that there was no problem. Tian Nanny quickly went to decoct the medicine again. A clay stove was set up under the eaves of the corridor, and the fragrance of the medicine came in through the cracks in the window, faintly.
After a while, Nanny Tian brought over the hot medicinal soup, Xie Zhiwei pulled out the needle, woke Xie Mingxi up and drank the medicinal soup. The little guy's eyelids were fighting, he managed to finish his drink, and fell asleep again, his breathing was much calmer, and his body was profusely sweating.
Seeing the danger retreat.
"After two hours, feed him the second bowl." Xie Zhiwei raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and continued to give Xie Mingxi moxibustion.
Time passed unknowingly, and Xie Zhiwei didn't extinguish it until Ai Zhu burned two-thirds, and gave Xie Mingxi another pulse, and the pulse was normal, so she was relieved.
"Mei Mei, is your brother better?" Yuan Shi held back until now before asking.
On the bed, Xie Mingxi's whole body seemed to be picked up from the water, soaked through. Sweating meant that the fever was gone, and he slept soundly, snoring lightly.
"Prepare hot water and underwear, Nanny Tian, help my brother scrub it, don't wake him up for now, let him sleep well." Xie Zhiwei looked up at Yuan Shi, "Mother, don't worry, as long as you take good care of him, my brother will not something's up."
Yuan is full of confidence in Xie Zhiwei, but she is still very happy to hear her say that, as if she had taken a reassurance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Zhiwei stabilized his mind, let go of Nanny Tian's hand, and walked towards Mingjian.
"Where's Lianniang?" Xie Zhiwei stood in the middle of the room and asked in a cold voice.
It was only then that everyone remembered that as Xie Mingxi's nursing mother Lianniang, the fifth young master became so ill, didn't she know?
This high fever doesn't happen in a short while.
"Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master, how are you doing? Why hasn't the doctor come to treat Fifth Young Master yet? Miss, when will the doctor come? I am worried about Fifth Young Master..." Lianniang came in from outside the house, covering her face with her handkerchief, It was like mourning, crying so hard that my body almost fell to the ground.
Xie Zhi looked at her slightly coldly, seeing that she didn't look scared at all, suddenly became angry, raised his hand, and slapped her hard across the face.
With a "slap", this slap accumulated the hatred of past and present lives, Lianniang's body fell to the side and fell on the ground, her ears were buzzing, she looked at Xie Zhiwei, her eyes were full of gold stars.
People inside and outside the room were stunned. No one thought that the big girl who was always soft and easy to talk to would actually have a time to fight.
"Where is Autumn Mark? Where is it?"
At the door, a maidservant wearing a red silk jacket, a water-green skirt, and a green satin waistcoat staggered in through the door, knelt down on the lichen with a plop, and cried, "Girl, slave girl, these two days I'm not feeling well, I didn't take care of the fifth young master, my servant..."
"Since you are not well, let's sell them all!" Xie Zhiwei said coldly, if she taught these two lowly maidservants a lesson, she would not be afraid of pain in her hands if her brother could get better.
"Big girl, it's not up to a big girl to sell slaves and maidservants!" Lianniang's head stopped buzzing, she came to her senses, got up from the ground, straightened her chest, raised her chin, and demonstrated to Xie Zhiwei .
Mother Qiu took a cup of tea, handed it to Xie Zhiwei, helped Xie Zhiwei to sit down on the chair, and said slowly, "Miss, how can the master teach the servants by himself? These useless things are handed over to the servants." That's it, there's no need to hurt the girl's hand!"
Xie Zhiwei picked up the teacup and took a sip. Tieguanyin's thick, mellow, soft, sweet and mellow taste relieved some of the restlessness in her heart. It's sold out!"
"What are you still doing in a daze? You can't hear what the eldest girl is saying, are you deaf?" Mother Qiu stood at the door, with her hands folded in front of her belly, her eyes were sharp, and she had an imposing manner.
However, people inside and outside did not move.
Lianniang saw it and sneered, she knew what these people were afraid of, she belonged to the old lady after all, if a girl beats a dog, it depends on the owner, who dares to touch her!
Lianniang looked around at the crowd, puffed her chest out, and said arrogantly, "Miss looks down on the servant girl, and the servant girl will go back to the old lady right now. The eldest girl should think about it. If the old lady asks, the servant girl must tell the truth. .”
This is even threatening her, Xie Zhi sneered slightly, and glanced at Mother Qiu, winking.
"What are you waiting for? Don't fight yet!"
As soon as Nanny Qiu finished speaking, four women with big arms and round waists came in from the door, one left and one right clamped Lianniang and Qiuhen, and one of them asked, "Miss, how many boards are you playing?"
Ms. Yuan opened the curtain and came out from the inside, "For such a thing, ask the eldest girl what to do. These two lowly maidservants are neglecting their duties. Beat me to death!"
Please ask for the ticket, is there anyone reading it?
