Wei Kun is Wan Lan's first son. He is in his forties, dressed in rich clothes, of medium height, and with eyes as sharp as knives.
When Wan Lan saw her son coming, she waved her hand. Aunt Gui understood the idea and screened out all the servants in the yard. The mother and son talked secretly in the house for an hour, and they were very happy. From time to time, there were whispers from inside the house. Come laugh.
Aunt Gui breathed a long sigh of relief.
After Wan Lan finished speaking, Wei Kun cupped his hands and said goodbye, "Mother, my son will leave first."
"Go." Wan Lan reached out and wanted to pat Wei Kun on the shoulder.
When Wei Kun saw this, he quickly turned sideways, and Wan Lan's hand fell to the side.
Wan Lan: "..."
Wei Kun knew that he had made his mother sad, so he quickly said: "Mom, Fengmingxuan has a new jade bracelet. After my son saw it, he felt that his mother would definitely like it, so he ordered it for you and it will be delivered to your house tomorrow. "
When Wan Lan heard that there was a gift, the unhappiness on her face disappeared: "Okay, okay, thank you, my son."
Aunt Gui sent Wei Kun away and went into the house to serve Wan Lan.
Wan Lan leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, her mood obviously improved a lot, and she seemed to have a pleasant chat with the Duke.
Aunt Gui made a cup of ginseng tea for Wan Lan: "Old madam, drink tea."
"Now Zhang Hedi only has Pei Heng in his eyes. He doesn't trust anyone but Pei Heng. You tell me, if Zhang Hedi doesn't even believe in Pei Heng, he, as a great governor, has done his job."
Aunt Gui beat Wan Lan's leg, "Although Pei Heng is said to be the eldest son of the Zhenguo Palace, he has now been deprived of his title and is no longer a member of the Zhenguo Palace. Just with his current status , how to compete with our Duke Wei?"
"Some young people always think that they thought they were golden branches and jade leaves, but now they are just a dog raised by others." Wan Lan sneered: "When you want him, treat him as a pet. If you don't want him, he will become a stray dog. Anyone can do it." Give me a kick."
"That's what the old lady said. Without the support of the Zhenguo Palace, how can he compete with the Weiguo Palace."
Wan Lan was very proud, but when she saw her nails, a trace of sadness and loneliness still flashed in her eyes.
"Agui, go and ask Guan Tan if he has found the prescription?"
Wei Kun didn't dare to accept her touch, probably because he was afraid of her nails and that she might infect him!
"Yes, slave, go now."
"Also, this nail is arched again. You need to make a new one."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Gui left the Duke Wei's mansion.
She went directly to a medical clinic and handed a piece of paper to the clerk behind her who was taking medicine. When the clerk saw it, his expression changed, and he quickly nodded and bowed and invited the patient to the backyard.
"Our curator is waiting for you behind."
The clerk came to the counter again. Seeing how respectful she was to the woman, the clerk on the side thought she was some big shot, "Who is that? Are you going to see the curator as soon as you come?"
"She's a nanny."
"Mammy? Isn't grandma just a servant? What is the identity of our curator, the medical sage of Kyoto, to treat a grandma personally?"
The waiter rolled his eyes at the other party. When he saw a guest coming, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Your servants should also check who they serve. This nanny is the personal nun of the old lady of Duke Wei's mansion." Do you think the curator should show it to her?"
The clerk stopped talking and nodded to grab medicine for the patient who came from behind.
A patient who was following behind looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Aunt Gui was leaving.
He is none other than Xu Jia.
It is said that doctors do not heal themselves. Xu Jia has been infected with some mild colds recently, and his head is a little dizzy. The shop he inspected today happened to be on this street. After Xu Jia inspected it, he happened to walk to Tongdetang. , Xu Jia came in and took a look.
Tong Duc Tang is the largest pharmacy in Kyoto, and its director Guan Tan became famous in Dai Viet for his prescription for the plague that year. Nowadays, this Tongde Hall is also the best choice for dignitaries and aristocratic families after hiring the imperial physician from the palace.
Xu Jia also believed in the medical skills of the doctors at this medical clinic.
When Aunt Gui came in just now, Xu Jia was waiting aside. Now when the waiter said it, Xu Jia was thoughtful.
After taking the medicine, Xu Jia did not leave directly. Instead, he went to the tea stall opposite Tongde Hall and ordered a pot of tea.
Two quarters of an hour later, Nanny Gui came out alone, with nothing in her hands.
Since you are here to get medicine, why is there no medicine?
Moreover, after Nanny Gui came out, she did not go directly to Duke Wei's mansion, but walked in the opposite direction.
Xu Jia looked at her back, drank the tea in the tea bowl, put down the tea bowl, and quietly followed Aunt Gui.
Aunt Gui walked straight forward until she reached the west of the city without stopping.
After going to the west of the city, she walked around and around and arrived at a secluded place. She looked around and saw that no one was around and went straight in.
Xu Jia looked up at the door: Yizhuang.
A place dedicated to placing unclaimed bodies. What was she doing here?
The door of Yizhuang opened and closed. Xu Jia looked at the terrain, walked to a secluded place, and climbed up the wall.
Aunt Gui seemed to be very familiar with the people in Yizhuang. The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Aunt Gui asked an incomprehensible question: "Are there any new goods?"
"Yes, yes. Aunt Gui, look at this. This one just arrived yesterday. She is a woman in her thirties."
The white cloth was opened, Nanny Gui covered her nose and looked down.
The village guard held the dead man's hand and held it up to show Aunt Gui.
"Look, these nails are quite good. And the size is right." The village guard said excitedly: "As soon as I saw it, I made up my mind to keep it for you."
Aunt Gui looked at her nails one by one, then nodded: "I want it."
The man who kept the village looked surprised, said good, and then took out a pair of pliers.
Xu Jia was a little stunned when he saw this scene: "..."
Until I saw the village keeper clipping off the dead man's nails one by one.
Aunt Gui used a brocade box, arranged her nails on her left and right hands according to the five fingers, and then took out ten taels of silver.
When Aunt Gui left, Xu Jia did not follow her. Instead, she jumped off the wall and knocked on the door of Yizhuang.
He pretended to be someone who came to identify the body.
The village guard brought Xu Jia in: "There are so many corpses here. Take a good look at them. If they are your family members, take them away."
Xu Jia cried and looked around until he saw the deceased whose nails were peeled off just now. Xu Jia lifted the covering to his legs.
The village guard hurriedly went to build it, "Why are you so energetic? Just look at your face."
"I'm sorry." Xu Jia apologized and grabbed the deceased's hand: "Eh? What happened to her nails? Ah! Her nails were peeled off? Who is so cruel? Not even the corpses were spared.”
The village guard trembled with fright, but pretended to be calm, "It was peeled off when it came. It's so pitiful. He must have suffered a lot of pain before he died."
Xu Jia sneered: "You peeled it off before you died? It was obviously peeled off two or three days after death!"
