Su Yixin withdrew her eyes and began to look at the layout of the room carefully. After walking around, she found no problems. Then she sat on the small bun where Luo Shi was giving medicine and began to feel her pulse.
After a while, Luo Shi asked nervously: "Master, how is my son?"
Su Yixin raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Shi. She called Master, without much respect in her eyes.
"Ma'am, you can't diagnose your pulse that quickly."
Bai Yuannian heard the impatience in Su Yixin's tone, pulled Luo Shi aside and whispered a few words. Luo Shi opened his mouth and looked at Su Yixin, and then stood quietly in front of the bed, keeping silent.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yixin took her hand back, already having some guesses in her mind, and said to Luo Shi, "Have you ever touched the house where he lived before?"
Luo Shi shook his head and his attitude became respectful: "It remains intact."
"Okay, take me to see it."
The couple valued Bai Shiqian very much and took Su Yixin to the front yard together.
The house was very clean, and it could be seen that it was cleaned every day. Su Yixin walked around and found no problems.
"Master, madam, please give me your and your son's birthdays and horoscopes."
Bai Yuannian asked someone to get a pen and paper, write down the birth dates of the three people, and hand them to Su Yixin.
Su Yixin quickly calculated that although their birth dates were not the best, they were destined to be rich and prosperous for a long time, and there was no constraint between them.
Excluding Bai Yuannian and his wife, only the old lady at home and the servants are left.
Su Yixin asked Luo to get their birth dates and horoscopes to check them carefully.
There were only four masters in the Bai family, but there were more than forty servants serving them. Luo Shi called them all to the courtyard and asked them to write down their birth dates. If they couldn't, let Qi Lao write it for them.
"Master, the birthdays and horoscopes of all the servants of the Bai family are here."
Mr. Qi handed over the papers and looked at them one by one. He found no one who was seriously incompatible with the master's horoscope, but he did find a few people with evil intentions and cheating.
Su Yixin didn't say it clearly, but Mr. Qi was very transparent, and Su Yixin knew what she meant with just a few words.
In the end, the old lady of the Bai family was left. Bai Yuannian's aunt had not yet sent her birth date and horoscope. For the sake of his son, Luo Shi took Su Yixin to the old lady's yard in a hurry.
The old lady's courtyard is even more grand than Luo's courtyard. At the entrance is a paved corridor with black and white cobblestones, well-proportioned in size and about twenty meters long. Beyond that is a winding verandah. The verandah handrails are painted with exquisite flowers and plants, and there are inscriptions next to the flowers and plants.
This word was actually drawn in gold.
So... rich.
We don’t understand the happiness of rich people.
After passing the Chaoshou Corridor, there is a rockery pond and an octagonal pavilion, where the sun and breeze are just right.
Su Yixin saw an old woman from a distance, wearing a brocade dress with the word "Fu" on the front and her hair tightly tied. She was holding an earthy yellow jar in her left hand and feeding the goldfish in the pond.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shi felt angry.
Even if Qian'er is not her biological grandson, he is still her only grandson.
Is she not in a hurry?
If other old ladies have a bedridden grandson who goes to the temple to pray and burn incense instead of eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and burning incense, they will go there every now and then.
Even if it's just for show, others will feel better.
But as for her, in the past six months, she only visited Qian'er once when she was ill, and she has never been to Qian'er's yard again.
Just now she ordered everyone's birthdays and horoscopes to be sent. Half an hour passed, and there was no movement in the old lady's yard. The four slaves were not sent, let alone the old lady's.
Mr. Qi came over to inform him immediately.
Entering the Bajiao Pavilion, Luo Shi felt angry but bowed very thoughtfully.
"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."
"Um."
The old lady responded, threw two handfuls of bait, and then turned around. The maid waiting on the side quickly took the bait away from the old lady's hand, and another maid came over with warm water to help the old lady wash her hands.
After a series of actions were completed, the old lady looked up at Luo Shi and pointed to the stool opposite: "Sit down."
Just as Su Yixin was about to sit down with Luo Shi, the old lady's eyes fell on her. Although her eyes were cloudy, she was shrewd and sharp.
She asked: "Are you the master my son invited?"
The old lady's tone reminded Su Yixin of later generations on the Internet, where people ridiculed experts all over the place and said they were no longer valuable.
Su Yixin also feels that she is not worthy of the term master yet.
Only an eminent monk like Ming Dao can be called a master, but she is confident that one day, she will reach this height, and people will be convinced, willing, and admired to call her master.
"My surname is Su. The old lady can call me Mrs. Su."
The old lady nodded and continued: "Ms. Su, I want to ask you, can my grandson really be saved?"
"have."
Xu was Su Yixin's decisive reply, which was beyond the old lady's expectation. This time she was serious about Su Yixin.
She was not tall, reaching about Luo Shi's chin. Her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and her eyes were clear and lively. What surprised her most was Madam Su's temperament, which was calm, reserved and confident.
"I sent people to visit all the Taoist priests I invited before Nian'er. When they came back, they all told me that Qian'er could be cured. Every one of them shook their heads and left the Bai Mansion."
"I'm too old to withstand great joys and sorrows. If you're not completely sure, don't bother."
"Mother, Qian'er is your grandson. As long as there is even the slightest hope, your daughter-in-law will not give up. What's more, Mrs. Su, she was introduced to Yuan Nian by Brother Jiefu, and my daughter-in-law believes in her."
"It's just because she was introduced by a boy from the Zhou family that I disagree."
The old lady actually got angry.
Luo Shi was also very angry. He stood up, pulled Su Yixin and turned away, without even making any pretense.
After leaving the courtyard, Luo Shi took out the handkerchief and wiped her tears with her face to one side: "Master, I made you laugh. The old lady is my husband's aunt's mother, and she has never been very close to us."
"Won't."
It is not uncommon for a high-ranking family to have a legitimate son or a concubine, so there is nothing surprising about it.
But what Luo Shi said later caught Su Yixin's attention.
The old lady’s real name is Gu. Her ancestors were in the tea business. She once became an imperial merchant and enjoyed great success. Her family fell into decline, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. After the Gu family moved from Kyoto to Jiangning Mansion, they became acquainted with the Bai family. , the old lady fell in love at first sight with Bai Yuannian's father, Bai Yanxi.
The two families were well matched, and they soon became married.
After marriage, the old lady gave birth to her eldest daughter Bai Shunying first, and her legitimate son Bai Yuanjie the following year. Bai Yuanjie fell seriously ill when he was three years old and died.
The old lady was shocked, but she quickly cheered up.
Thinking that he was still young, he could have another child, but Bai Yanxi took in Bai Yuannian's mother, Zhu, half a year later, and gave birth to Bai Yuannian a year later.
