As soon as Lu Zheng arrived at the front hall, he saw that there were guests in the hall. They had a strong presence, the kind that Lu Zheng couldn't help but take a second look at.
Different from Xiao Qi's dignity, and different from Song Siwen's innate gentleness, he sat there quietly, with bright eyebrows and a smile on his lips. He looked very gentle, but inexplicably gave people a sense of toughness. feel.
Xiao Fuzi introduced to Lu Zheng: "This is Shen Shizi, here to see the master."
When Lu Zheng saw the other party nodding to her with a smile, he nodded back, which was regarded as saying hello.
After Song Siwen exchanged brief greetings with Lu Zheng, he and Xiao Qi sat next to Lu Zheng, one on the left and the other on the right, as they did in Lingyang City, and stretched out their wrists.
Although Lu Zheng was checking his pulse with both hands at the same time, his eyes were always focused on the dishes being served.
Seeing this, Xiao Fuzi read the name of the dish on one side, "Crab roe shrimp cup, perilla shrimp, five-flavor apricot cheese goose,... golden bird's nest, sugar steamed cheese, nine-layer cake."
It seems like... I have never eaten these. Why are there so many dishes outside? It's not like her in Guzhong, who always drinks porridge or stir-fries.
If you go back, would you consider hiring a cook? Will the cook... be willing to go with her to that uninhabited valley?
When the dishes were all served, Lu Zheng swallowed and said, "Let's eat first."
Song Siwen and Xiao Qi looked at each other. It seemed that they were fine. They didn't dare to delay Lu Zheng's meal. After all, in Lu Zheng's eyes, eating was a very important thing.
Xiao Qi then signaled Xiao Fuzi to wait on Shen Guiyi and personally serve Lu Zheng.
At this time, Shen Guiyi, who was sitting opposite Lu Zheng, looked at Lu Zheng and Xiao Qi next to her with some surprise. It was not an easy thing for Miss Lu to have Xiao Qi prepare the dishes in person.
Seeing that he was not moving his chopsticks, Xiao Fuzi stepped forward and whispered, "Shen Shizi, let's eat first."
Shen Guiyi saw Xiao Qi looking up at him, gave him a smile, and then picked up his chopsticks.
After half an hour of eating, Shen Guiyi, no matter how calm he was, was really surprised by Lu Zheng's appetite. This girl had an enviable appetite and actually ate more than the three of them combined. There are many.
But when Shen Guiyi lowered his eyes and saw his legs, he didn't feel anything. The three of them were sick, some were disabled, some were mute, and they were naturally not as good as a normal person.
After the meal, Lu Zheng had just rinsed his mouth, but before he drank the tea, his sleeve cuffs were pulled by Xiao Qi.
Lu Zheng turned to look at him, and Xiao Qi turned his gaze to Shen Guiyi. He could not speak, but his phoenix eyes were full of emotions.
Lu Zheng followed his line of sight and looked over. The young man on the four-wheeler was looking at her with a smile. Seeing her looking over, he said, "Thank you, girl, for saving A Ci. The Shen family is very grateful."
Shen family? What does it have to do with Xiao Qi?
At this time, Xiao Fuzi explained to her with a smile: "My master's biological grandmother, Concubine Chunxi, is from the Shen family of Zhenbei Marquis. Shen Shizi and my master are cousins."
Xiao Qi’s biological grandmother? cousin? It seems to be separated by one layer, right?
Xiao Fuzi knew that Xiao Qi was the closest to Shen Guiyi among his peers in Beijing, but Shen Guiyi was a person who was even less willing to go out than Xiao Qi because of his bad behavior.
"My master is usually taken care of by the Shen family when he is in the capital. Today, Prince Shen came to see me. My master wants to ask the girl to check on Prince Shen's leg problem."
With that said, Xiao Fuzi pushed Shen Guiyi in front of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng met several pairs of expectant eyes and did not refuse. Just look at him. After all, he had to eat and drink here, so he paid for the consultation.
After carefully examining Shen Guiyi's legs, Lu Zheng frowned, "You... must not be able to leave for more than seven or eight years."
This is a bit difficult. Why does she always encounter these difficult and complicated diseases? Can't we just give her a headache? She's the best at that.
Shen Guiyi smiled and said, "Girl, you are right. I have never felt what it feels like to walk since I injured my leg seven years ago."
Shen Guiyi looked at the thick snow in the courtyard and fell into memories, "That year, my father took me to play at my uncle's house. On the way back, there was heavy snow and the mountains were closed. As the New Year was approaching, we were anxious to return to Beijing, and then we encountered an avalanche. …When I woke up, my legs were pinned under a big rock.”
At this point, he paused and said, "It will be three days before the people come to look for us..."
Lu Zheng was listening. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly realized that Xiao Qi and Xiao Fuzi had something wrong with their expressions. Both of them had a little sadness in their eyes.
"My mother also took me to many places and saw many doctors. Unlike Aci, I may get better slowly, but I missed the best time for treatment."
His voice was neither quick nor slow, as if he was not the one who was sick. "Girl, please tell the truth, don't worry about my feelings..."
He had heard too many hopeful words from doctors and tried many therapies, but those bitter medicines taken day after day also had no effect.
Later, he accidentally heard the words of the imperial doctor and his mother, and he realized that he might never stand up again, but his mother was afraid that he would be sad and never dared to tell him the truth.
He probably heard too much, but now he doesn't care anymore. As long as he is alive, even if Lu Zheng says that his leg can be cured, he will not be able to make any more waves in his heart.
Lu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him who was still smiling. He was a little different from the other patients Lu Zheng had seen. Some were in pain, some were depressed, some were desperate, some were complaining about the pain of life, and lamenting the unfairness of fate...
Lu Zheng had seen all kinds of people, but the boy in front of him was trapped in a four-wheeled vehicle at his most carefree age, but Lu Zheng didn't see any bad emotions in his eyes.
There was no haggard, pain, or unwillingness. Instead, he talked about his misfortune in an understatement with a smile on his face.
Lu Zheng thought for a moment, "I... give it a try. Even if it doesn't cure it, it can at least relieve your pain. Do you have unbearable pain in your legs when it rains or snows, and you can't sleep?"
Shen Guiyi nodded, "Yes, I often have to take soothing and sleeping pills to fall asleep."
The medicine was three-thirds poisonous, and the doctor had long stopped letting him take those medicines, but there was no good way.
"I'll give you some pain-relieving pills first, and you'll get better with more hot compresses, medicinal baths, and acupuncture."
"You can come here every other day from tomorrow and get acupuncture with them. The prescription... I'll think about it again."
She didn't say she would cure him, just that he would be better. Shen Guiyi looked at Xiao Qi and smiled, "Aci met a good doctor."
The corners of Xiao Qi's lips curved. Xiao Fuzi held the pamphlet in his hand and waited for Xiao Qi to reply, but Xiao Qi did not look at him. It was obvious that he had no intention of writing.
Xiao Fuzi silently put away the pamphlet.
After Shen Guiyi left, Lu Zheng took the pulses of Xiao Qi and Song Siwen again. After the diagnosis, he said concisely: "Starting from tomorrow, we will continue to perform acupuncture."
The two of them naturally didn't say anything. Lu Zheng drove Song Siwen back to take a nap, leaving Xiao Qi alone in the hall.
"That Prince Shen just now..."
Xiao Fuzi glanced at Xiao Qi, saw Xiao Qi nodded, sighed slightly, and then said, "Shizi Shen is quite pitiful."
Lu Zheng glanced at him and said, "There are a lot of poor people in this world. To make a long story short."
She knew that Shen Guiyi didn't make it clear.
