The reason why Zhang Cuilan asked Sister Ma for help was not only because she was more suitable, but also because she wanted to help poor Sister Ma. Sister Ma is old and has inconvenient hands and feet. But in order to survive, I have to help people everywhere. Zhang Cuilan thought that after she left, Liu Yu would still need a servant. She wanted Sister Ma to replace her as a yamen servant.
The monthly salary of one tael of silver per month is not much, but it is not much. Sister Ma usually lives frugally, and these are enough. She can also save some money, so that she will not be too miserable in her later years. The most important thing is that serving Liu Yu is very easy, which is very good for Sister Ma.
Of course, this matter is not something Zhang Cuilan can decide and must be approved by the county government. But as long as Liu Yu is willing to speak, this matter will be easy to handle. So Zhang Cuilan asked Sister Ma to help. She knew that Liu Yu was a good person who valued friendship. After Sister Ma had served for a while, she shamelessly asked Liu Yu to help, and it should be possible.
The county government office was already busy at this time. The servants began to prepare breakfast and clean the fallen leaves on the ground. The maids boiled water and prepared clothes to help their master get up. The maid Xiaozi came to Lin Hongyu's door and knocked gently. After a while, I heard no sound, so I opened the door and walked in. Seeing that the young lady was still sleeping soundly, he withdrew again.
Half an hour later, Lin Zihe and Mrs. Lin both got up, washed up, and went to the lobby to eat. On the round table were porridge and a few side dishes, as well as bought breakfast. It looks steaming hot and makes people very appetizing.
"Where's the lady? Go ask her to come down for breakfast." Mrs. Lin found that Lin Hongyu had not come down, so she said to the maid beside her.
"Madam, let's eat first!" Lin Zihe reached out and picked up a white-faced steamed bun and said.
"I know how to eat all day long, huh!" Mrs. Lin said with a dissatisfied glare at Lin Zihe.
She wanted to wait for her daughter. Yesterday, Lin Hongyu slipped away without her noticing, which made her very worried. Lin Hongyu's face looked much better after he came back, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Mrs. Lin guessed that she might have gone to see Wang Lun. Anyway, she was going to Gao Cang City in a few days, so Mrs. Lin did not question her.
"Madam, the young lady was sleeping very deeply. The servant screamed a few times but didn't wake her up." The maid Xiaozi knelt down and said.
"Forget it, let her sleep a little longer! Go and wait. When the lady wakes up, let her come down." Mrs. Lin thought for a while and replied. She thought about Hongyu not having a good rest in the past few days and sleeping late. , I got up early and had been in a state of confusion all day, so I wanted her to sleep more.
The maid Xiaozi stood beside the bed, feeling very anxious. Miss Lin didn't know why she slept so deeply. It was already past midnight and she still hadn't woken up. The hot water for washing aside had been changed several times.
Looking at the young lady lying peacefully on the bed, with a rosy complexion and breathing evenly. She gritted her teeth and decided to go forward and wake her up, even if she was scolded a few times, she accepted it. Her stomach was growling and she was already hungry, but she didn't get Lin Hongyu to help her out of bed. How could she have anything to eat?
"Miss, get up." Xiao Zi walked to the bed, reached out and gently pushed Lin Hongyu and said. Lin Hongyu still didn't wake up, which made Xiao Zi anxious.
She bravely shook Lin Hongyu vigorously and found that the young lady was still like that, showing no signs of waking up. Xiao Zi had a bad premonition in her heart, so she quickly opened the quilt, pushed Lin Hongyu hard and shouted: "Miss, wake up."
But even so, Lin Hongyu still slept soundly. Xiao Zi's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately turned around and ran out of the room.
"Why is this happening? Go and inform the master." Mrs. Lin exclaimed, and then she quickly ran to the attic. The fat all over her body was trembling up and down. It was very indecent, but she couldn't care anymore.
It turned out that Xiao Zi came crying and reported Lin Hongyu's situation to Mrs. Lin, which scared Mrs. Lin to a loss.
Mrs. Lin slammed open the door, rushed to the bedside, shook Lin Hongyu's body and shouted: "Yu'er, wake up, wake up quickly, what's wrong with you?"
"Madam, what happened?" Lin Zihe also came over panting and asked.
"Yu'er, wake up quickly. If something happens to you, how can you let your mother live?" Mrs. Lin held Lin Hongyu's hand and cried with tears on her face.
"What are you doing standing here? Go find the doctor." Lin Zihe broke into a cold sweat and shouted to the maid on the side.
The entire county government was in chaos and turned into a mess. Famous doctors in Tianping County rushed to the county government office one after another, but after a while they all left dejectedly. These doctors had never seen such a strange condition.
Miss Lin's breathing was regular, her heartbeat was normal, her pulse was strong, and she was very peaceful, as if she was really asleep. There was nothing unusual about his body, but he was still unconscious. No matter whether it was medicine or acupuncture, it was of no use, and there was no sign of waking up.
The doctors tried their best, but all failed. Under the complaints of Magistrate Lin, he left the county government office in despair.
"Doctor Lu, you're here, come and take a look at my Hongyu!" Lin Zihe saw an old man with gray hair and a childlike face rushing towards him carrying a medicine box, and he hurriedly greeted him and said.
This old man's name is Lu Yuanlang, but he is a well-known miracle doctor and the doctor with the highest medical skills in Tianping County. During his lifetime of practicing medicine, Dr. Lu has cured many difficult and complicated diseases and saved the lives of many people. That's why Lin Zihe regarded him as a savior and spoke with a particularly respectful tone.
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I went to a patient's home this morning, so I was late." Lu Yuanlang said apologetically.
"I wish you could make it as soon as possible. Please come in." Lin Zihe said excitedly.
"Doctor Lu is here, please save my Yu'er!" Mrs. Lin's eyes were red and swollen, her tears had dried up, her fat body was sitting on the edge of the bed like mud, holding Lin Hongyu's hand tightly. Seeing Lu Yuanlang coming, he quickly got up and got out of the way.
Lu Yuanlang sat on a small stool and first carefully felt Lin Hongyu's pulse. It was found that the pulse was stable, qi and blood were smooth, and there was no problem. He wondered if Lin Hongyu had inhaled some drug or something to become like this. He took out a small bottle of Huoxiang ventilation water from the medicine box and put a few drops on Lin Hongyu's nostrils.
The scent of this patchouli aeration water is very strong. If you are knocked unconscious by drugs or something like that, you will wake up quickly after inhaling it due to strong stimulation. But after a while, Lin Hongyu showed no response.
Lu Yuanlang thought in his heart, it seemed that he was not knocked out by drugs or something, so there was only one possibility. Miss Lin must have been over-stimulated, lost her mind and fell into a coma. After thinking about it clearly, I had an idea in my mind.
I saw him taking out a cloth post and spreading it on the small table. There were hundreds of densely packed silver needles of different lengths and thickness stuck on the cloth post. Then Lu Yuanlang lit a special alcohol lamp and placed the silver needle on the flame to bake it for disinfection.
Lin Zihe and his wife stood aside, watching Lu Yuanlang's movements in one breath, not daring to breathe or say anything to disturb the old miracle doctor.
