Chapter 25 25

The performance of "Young Night" was postponed twice, and finally it was performed for three consecutive days in the Wanchun Tea Garden, which was already in late August in the Gregorian calendar. Juexin was invited by Juemin to watch "Young Night".The play moved him very much. Every time the curtain is closed, he also applauds enthusiastically with others.But when he got home, his heart gradually became cold again.It was as if someone threw a stone into a pool of stagnant water, so the water splashed and turbulent for a while, and then the ripples gradually dissipated, leaving a pool of stagnant water.

After Juexin watched the night play, he went home to see Mrs. Zhou.Mrs. Zhou then told him: Mrs. Zhou sent someone to invite him that evening, saying that Hui was ill and asked him to discuss the matter of calling a doctor.This news was like a thunderbolt that completely dispelled the influence of "Young Night" in Juexin's mind.He is very anxious.At this time, the second watch had passed, and it was inconvenient for him to go to Zhou's house.He didn't know whether Hui's illness was serious or not, and whether it was dangerous. However, judging from the fact that he was asked to consult a doctor, he believed that Hui's illness must be serious, so Bo Tao could not make the decision.Thinking about it this way, he couldn't calm down his heart even more.But he was unwilling to reveal his secret feelings in front of Zhou Shi, so he had to act calm.

Juexin never closed his eyes all night.He tossed and turned in bed, his thoughts constantly rising and falling.He thought of many forgotten old things, and he thought of the few dead people.The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.It was only when the sky began to turn pale that he felt tired and fell asleep in a daze.He slept until after nine o'clock in the morning, washed his face in a hurry after getting up, and saw Mrs. Zhou again, so he went to Zhou's house in a sedan chair. Seeing Juexin, Mrs. Zhou beamed and said, "Eldest Young Master, I knew you would come this morning. Unfortunately, you weren't home yesterday. I'm afraid Zhou Gui didn't make it clear." Juexin bowed to everyone After that, he sat down and asked about LOH's condition.

"I don't know how it started. My uncle and young master didn't send someone to invite me until yesterday. Poor Hui'er, she has become much thinner. She has headache, fever, shortness of breath, cough, pain in the waist and abdomen, and many diseases like her. How can her body bear it? She was sick for three or four days before we found out. My aunt invited Luo Jingting to see her every day, and took several doses of medicine, but nothing worked. Later, he invited Wang Yunbo, but his medicine didn’t work. I It seems that this is not going to work. So I came back to discuss with my mother. Hui'er's father has no idea. Mom said that I should ask the young master to ask and see if the young master has any ideas," Chen narrated anxiously.She looked at Juexin with pleading eyes, eagerly waiting for his answer.

Juexin frowned and pondered for a while, then resolutely replied: "I think it's better to consult a western doctor. Cousin Hui is happy again, she's no match for ordinary people, so don't be careless." Zhou Botao suddenly interjected, "I'm afraid the Zheng family won't agree." In fact, not only the Zheng family was unwilling, but he himself was an opponent of Western medicine. "It doesn't matter if you ask a Western doctor to see it," Juexin insisted. "If Boxiong disagrees, at most he won't take the medicine from a Western doctor. Western doctors are always very careful in examining patients. You can rest assured if you have one more person to read carefully." "The young master's words are very reasonable, so we will send someone to call for a western doctor," Mrs. Zhou believed in Juexin and agreed with him.Chen naturally had no objection.

"I don't think it's appropriate to use western medicine. Western medicine can't cure internal diseases." Zhou Botao always disagreed with using western medicine. However, seeing Juexin's repeated suggestion and hearing his mother's two words, he couldn't object clearly, so he could only doubt say. "Then you think of a better way to come out, and I don't care about it. You messed up everything this time. Hui'er's life will be ruined in your hands." Mrs. Zhou heard Bo Tao's words, only Feeling that her anger was rushing upwards, and the anger that had accumulated in her heart for many days was stimulating her, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she lowered her face and scolded sharply.

Zhou Botao had never seen Mrs. Zhou lose her temper like this, and she always gave in to him in the past.Loh's fate seemed to be in his own hands.He was the one who insisted on sending Hui to the Zheng family.No one dared to violate his will, so he was able to stick to it.But now his mother actually made a cry of resistance.Her expression made Bo Tao soften.He hit a nail, got up without a word, and quietly walked out of the room. "It's fine if he's gone. Anyway, he can't control it," Mrs. Zhou said angrily. "Yes," Juexin replied respectfully.Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Zhou timidly and dared not make a sound.The maid Cuifeng stood behind Mrs. Zhou's chair with her hands down.Yun and Master Mei sat quietly in a corner.Yun never spoke, but when she heard Mrs. Zhou scolding Bo Tao, she was secretly happy, as if she had let out a sigh of relief for Hui.

"Young master, how much does it cost for a Western doctor?" Mrs. Zhou gradually calmed down when she saw Bo Tao walking away silently, and asked gently. "It's six yuan for a visit," Juexin replied.Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was determined to ask for a western doctor, he volunteered again and said, "Grandma wants to ask for it, so I'll go and ask for it. I know Dr. Zhu, so it's easier for me to go and ask for it." The wife declined politely, but she immediately corrected and said: "Master, you can go there. Please accompany the doctor to your cousin Hui. You can take Mai Li. The Zheng family will not come out here." It’s a sum of money.” She didn’t let Juexin talk, and told Chen Shi: “Young Mistress, go and get six yuan for the Eldest Young Master, so it’s hard for him to bother to go.” “Grandma, you’re welcome. It should be. I can advance the money first," Juexin replied with a bow.Chen has already walked out of the room.He had to wait for her to come back and take the money from her before leaving in a hurry.

Zhou Botao heard footsteps and voices in the wing room, and knew that Juexin was leaving, so he came out to see him off.Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xu accompanied Juexin to the window of the left wing room. When they saw Bo Tao coming out, they stopped and asked Bo Tao to send Juexin out.Master Mei followed timidly.When they walked to the hall, Juexin was about to get into the sedan chair. Bo Tao said to him suddenly, "Mingxuan, I'm so sorry that I have to make you run again today. But the doctor, please go. If the Zheng family doesn't want to , you'd better send him away as soon as possible, lest the Zheng family be unhappy. Bo Xiong and his son are very knowledgeable in old studies. It's only natural that they don't like Western medicine." Mingxuan is Juexin, and Bo Tao usually likes to follow Mrs. Zhou Calling Juexin the "eldest young master" and "Mingxuan" are not often called.It seemed that he had thought for a long time before saying this.

Juexin frowned when he heard these unpleasant words, and said "yes" twice perfunctorily.He inadvertently raised his eyes to look at Young Master Mei, the young man bowed his head and covered his mouth with his hands and coughed in a low voice.He thought painfully: "There is such a father." He stepped into the sedan chair and left as if evading. When Juexin arrived at Ping'anqiao Hospital, he found out that Dr. Zhu was invited by a teacher surnamed Ding to see a doctor in Jianyang.Another medical officer was there.Juexin had seen this lanky Frenchman before, so he invited him over.

Zhou Botao had already sent Zhou Gui to Zheng's house to inform him.Therefore, Juexin did not surprise the Zheng family when he accompanied Medical Officer Ren.Guoguang asked them to sit in the living room for a while until it was ready, and then invited them into Hui's room. Hui was lying on the bed with a thin quilt covering her body. She had no makeup on her face and looked very yellow and thin.Juexin walked to the bed and called "Cousin Hui" affectionately.Hui looked at him without blinking, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Hi, cousin." Tears burst out of her eyes immediately.She quickly turned her face inside so that he wouldn't see it.Juexin felt sad for a while, but tried his best to hold back, and put on a smile to talk to Medical Officer Ren and Guoguang. Medical officer Ren began to do the inspection work.He checked Hui's heart, lungs, liver, and stomach.He shook his head in amazement and said in Chinese: "No disease, no disease at all." Later, he checked his abdomen, and suddenly nodded and said, "Got it." Juexin and Guoguang said, "This is cystitis, it's nothing to worry about. But a small operation is needed." "Surgery?" Guoguang asked in astonishment. "It's very simple, don't be afraid, there is no danger at all," Medical Officer Ren comforted with a smile. Doctor Ren spoke Chinese better than Doctor Zhu, and he also talked about Hui's pathogen to Juexin.He said that this is a common disease among pregnant women, because the first time the fetus is conceived, the fetus is lowered, and the urinary catheter of the pregnant woman is compressed by the head of the fetus.Although pregnant women urinate from time to time, they always urinate less and store more in the urine cells.This accumulates more and more, and the urine cells are filled with urine, so the uric acid in the urine will rush upwards, causing headaches and other phenomena in pregnant women.He also assured that now he only needs to perform a little operation and put a catheter in the urethra to excrete the urine accumulated in the urine cells at once, and the disease will be cured.If you take a little more detoxifier, there will be no problem.Finally, he warned that if this is not done, the uremia will invade the blood or nerves after a long time, and the pregnant woman will have a miscarriage or uremia. Juexin and Guoguang sent the medical officer to the sedan chair, then turned around and walked inside.They had just taken two steps when Guoguang suddenly asked, "Big cousin, do you believe this kind of statement?" "I think it makes sense," Juexin replied frankly.He knew that Hui's illness was not serious, so he was not as anxious as before. "As far as I can see, what he said doesn't really matter. How can headaches have something to do with urine? I think the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in Chinese medicine makes sense," Guoguang said confidently. Juexin vaguely agreed.He felt very uncomfortable, but it was not easy to express it.He had no choice but to endure, and walked in silently.He entered the room and saw Guoguang's mother talking to Hui there.He saluted Mrs. Zheng and said a few words.He suddenly heard Hui covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing, and remembered what the medical officer said, so he walked to the bed, waited for Hui to stop coughing, and then asked with concern: "Cousin Hui, you heard what the doctor said. You What do you mean? You said it, so I can tell my grandma and aunt." Hui moved her head and smiled gratefully.She said with great effort (but her voice was not high): "Since my mother-in-law and the others invited me to see it, and I'd like to ask my cousin to go there in person, then I'll ask him to treat you later." Reliable," Guoguang objected beside him. "Young mistress, how can you promise foreigners to treat you? Foreigners have a lot of tricks, and they will come up with weird ways to deceive people. And how can a strange man do it in a place like yours? Don't be ashamed to death It would be even more serious if one accidentally injures the fetus." Mrs. Zheng screamed hysterically.Her face was not very good-looking, which showed that she was not happy. "Too dear mother, but you can't say that, Western medicine also has its principles..." Juexin tried his best to suppress his anger, and forced a smile to explain.But just as he said a word, he was stopped by Hui.Hui called out on the bed: "Big cousin." He took a step closer to listen to her. Hui smiled wearily, and said pantingly, "Thank you for taking a trip today. What Mom said just now made sense. I don't want to see a western doctor. Please tell my mother-in-law and the others. If I take Chinese medicine, I will gradually get better.Please take it easy. "She stared at him with slightly absent-minded eyes, with two big tears in the corners of her eyes. She shook her head slightly at Juexin, and said in a lower voice: "I dreamed of Cousin Mei last night, Probably because Mom told me yesterday that Aunt Qian was writing a letter from Yibin. "Jue Xin stood in front of the bed in a daze, as if he had been hit by an accident. He looked at Hui and couldn't say a word. "Young Mistress understands the truth now." Mrs. Zheng praised proudly, which awakened Juexin. "Big cousin, cousin Ling is very insightful. Please go back and tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law about the situation, so that they can rest assured. It is not appropriate to see a western doctor for a disease like cousin Ling's. We invite Luo Jingting and Wang Yunbo to watch it every day, and today we also invite Zhang Puchen. The three of them take turns to check the pulse and take the pulse together. There will be no mistakes.Father-in-law and mother-in-law please rest assured," Guoguang said politely to Juexin, shaking his wide square head non-stop. With these few words, he shut Juexin out. Juexin looked at Guoguang and listened to what the man said sentence by sentence.His haggard face and those tearful eyes still appeared in front of his eyes.He felt very confused.He had a sore nose again.Knowing that he was on the verge of tears, he tried to restrain his grief.He reluctantly listened to Guoguang's words, agreed vaguely, and did not argue with Guoguang, but walked to the bed, told Hui a few words, asked her to rest in peace, and then left. Juexin saw the sedan chair leave the gate of Zheng's house, and he felt as if he had escaped from a demon's den in the sedan chair.But when he thought of the fate of Loh who was behind him, his heart ached again with grief and indignation.
