Roller is still

The private room on the first floor of the Crescent Inn.

Yuan Qi looked at a pile of women's gold and silver jewelry spread out in front of her, and Su Yanrou, who had burning eyes and a smile on her face, coughed a few times in embarrassment and said, "Miss Su, are you sure?"

Su Yanrou nodded, flicked the jewelry on the table with her bare hands, and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm sure, but judging by your hesitant expression, don't you think you have little money, or you look down on my family?"

When Yuan Qi heard this, she waved her hands quickly, with a gentle smile on her face and said, "Miss Su, please don't get me wrong, I was able to go back to Xincao County because of Miss Tuo Su's admiration, not to mention the fact that Miss Su asked me to open a medical clinic." , It’s also a little effort, but Yuan feels strange, why does Miss Su want to take root in Xincao County when she came from afar?”

Su Yanrou lowered her head and thought for a long time, then smiled and said, "To be honest, Mr. Yuan, I am actually a widow, not the girl you mentioned. I took root in Xincao County, and it is also because I discovered that I have two daughters in recent days." month's pregnancy."

"Oh? Su? Doctor Su's husband's family?" Yuan Qi's tone was inquiring, her eyes never let go of any expression on Su Yanrou's face.

Su Yanrou took a deep breath, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "Dead, I was burned to death in a fire more than a month ago!"

Hearing Su Yanrou's answer, Qingqing opened her mouth wide in surprise, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xingyun who shook her head.

......

A goddess doctor came to Xincao County, a beautiful widow who was two months pregnant, and the news spread like wildfire.

Residents from other villages in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships came here admiringly. On the one hand, they came to see a doctor.

When Su Yanrou bought a batch of medicinal materials from Jingyang City, a hundred miles away, what she saw was the besieged medical clinic.

Shaking his head, Xing Yun got out of the carriage first.While yelling, he waved his hands and said, "Everyone, let's go, let's go, my lady is here, and those who want to see a doctor stand to the left, and those who ask for a kiss get out!"

After Xing Yun finished speaking, Yuan Qi, who was sitting in the food store opposite the medical hall, almost didn't laugh out loud. He had heard this for half a month, and he hadn't seen a single one get out, but to be honest, it was his first time to get out. Get out, because he is also a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.

Su Yanrou got out of the carriage, smiled and saluted the man in Liangpu.Turn around and walk towards the medical hall.

Before taking a few steps, her attention was all attracted by the chatting of the two women waiting in line to see the doctor.

"Have you heard? Something big happened in Luohuai City!"

"What? What's the big deal? The emperor has collapsed?"

"Shh, can this be nonsense? But this is a major event, and it's almost over. Mr. Gu of the prime minister's mansion was found greedy for ink, and the whole mansion was sealed up overnight, and hundreds of people from the whole mansion were dispatched to Bianzhou !"

Hearing this, Su Yanrou suddenly turned her head to look at the two women who were still whispering and chatting, grabbed one of the women who was talking enthusiastically, raised her head, and said with red eyes excitedly, "You What did you just say? What happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion? You lied to me, right? Tell me. Tell me clearly!"

Su Yanrou's explosive roar resounded throughout Xincao County, and the surrounding doctors and beggars were frightened by her crazy behavior and all ran away in an instant.

The woman caught by her could only tell all she knew while holding back her fear and trembling.

After a stick of incense.

Su Yanrou sat in the medical hall, she didn't know how long she was in a daze, Xingyun and Qingqing worriedly stepped forward to inquire, but what she got was Su Yanrou's indifference and her indifference.

The woman's words still echoed in my mind, "The prime minister is greedy for ink, and the whole house was exiled in a barren land. I heard that before being exiled, the emperor personally interrogated the prime minister for a whole night. On the second day, the emperor issued a decree saying The prime minister was ashamed of the people of Liangguo, committed suicide by taking poison, and the body was thrown in a mass grave. The poor man didn't even have a straw mat to cover, so he was fed to wild dogs.As for the wife of the Xiangfu, it seems that she ran away with a huge sum of money before the house was raided. '

Su Yanrou quietly caressed her belly, the surrounding was so quiet that she could even feel the heartbeat of the child in the womb.

She didn't shed tears, but her heart hurt even more than tears. She thought she didn't care about Gu Youcheng, but when she heard the news of his death, her body was in burning pain as if she had lost half her life.

Su Yanrou knew that all of this was caused by Gu Youcheng herself. Shi'er emptied the Gu family, and Gu Youcheng would definitely risk her life. It's just that the child in Su Yanrou's stomach is pitiful. The deathbed entrustment, but failed to save the entire Gu family.

Slowly getting up, Su Yanrou walked towards the bed on the second floor step by step. She rejected Gu Youcheng's matter in her heart, but she also knew that there was still a way to go, and people had to look forward.

"Miss!" Qingqing walked to the stairs with a worried expression on her face.

Su Yanrou shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

?

The morning light enters the casements on the second floor, and the spring breeze slowly opens the wooden windows on the second floor.

The woman on the couch quietly opened her eyes, looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, and now she looks away after sleeping, as if it was once her pillow.

Turning over, Su Yanrou put on her embroidered shoes, washed up briefly, and walked towards the first floor.

Xing Yun, who was still cleaning the stairs to prepare for the door opening, looked at Su Yanrou who had already got up early in the morning and said, "Miss, are you awake?"

Su Yanrou nodded.

Hearing movement in the stairwell on the second floor, Qing Qing, who was cleaning outside the medical hall, threw down the things in her hands and ran in quickly, exclaiming, "Miss, are you awake?"

Seeing Qingqing, Su Yanrou smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere today, just sit in the hospital to see a doctor."

Xingyun and Qingqing glanced at each other, and found that Su Yanrou was in normal condition except that she was not in good spirits, so they were relieved.

When Su Yanrou walked to the door, just as she was about to open the door for business, she suddenly panicked. If she hadn't grabbed the door bolt in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

"What happened?" Su Yanrou asked in confusion.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the floor shook rapidly.

"Miss, miss, it's not good, there's an earthquake!" Xing Yun, who flew down from the second floor, hurriedly prepared to run to Su Yanrou's side.

However, perhaps it is because Xincao County is located among the small flats surrounded by mountains, or because Xincao County is the center of the entire mountain range is an earthquake-prone area, so Su Yanrou who tasted the earthquake for the first time is completely unknown. So wide-eyed.

Suddenly, she felt a sudden burst of force in the medical hall, and she saw the center of the medical hall collapse instantly, and a big crack suddenly appeared on the ground in front of her, and it began to open slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Miss, don't be in a daze? Run quickly." Xingyun, who was separated by the crack, could only block Qingqing who was anxious behind him, and shouted desperately to Su Yanrou who was opposite.

Hearing Xingyun's voice, Su Yanrou came back to her senses, hurriedly stood up along the door frame, struggled to open the wooden door, and ran outside.

But maybe because she was too heartbroken yesterday, even though she slept all night, she was still tired. She only felt a stabbing pain in her lower abdomen, and the hand that was still holding the door lost all strength in an instant.

As soon as she let go, she felt her body sinking, and she actually began to slide towards the important cracks in the ground following the shaking of the terrain.

"Miss, don't!" Xingyun and Qingqing shouted hysterically.

Su Yanrou looked at the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and medical books that fell from her side and were swallowed up by the beast-like mouth behind her, and she felt cold sweat.

Grabbing a loose bluestone slab, Su Yanrou endured the pain and numbness in her lower abdomen, trying to climb forward with all her strength.

But before she could use any force, she heard a 'crack', and Su Yanrou watched the bluestone slab that she was holding tightly crack open a thin crack.Immediately afterwards, she felt empty under her body, and her whole body began to fall into the cracks of the ground following the books rolling down beside her.

"Miss, don't!" Xingyun and Qingqing shouted desperately, tears streaming down their faces.

Suddenly, the door of the medical hall was kicked open, and a water-blue figure ran towards the place where Su Yanrou slipped.

Su Yanrou, who had closed her eyes and waited for death, felt her body lighten, and the feeling of weightlessness just now disappeared, and a pleasant musky scent of men came from the tip of her nose.

Yuan Qi hugged Su Yanrou and landed on the street steadily, and the earthquake subsided slowly.

Su Yanrou opened her eyes nervously, and when she saw Yuan Qi's smiling eyes, her whole face flushed.After a pause, he hurriedly got off the ground, straightened his clothes in embarrassment, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for saving me just now!"

Yuan Qi looked at Su Yanrou's every move with a smile, and her mind flickered. This was the second time he stared at her so closely since the day she first came to Xincao County. The shy and charming smile when lowering his brows and eyes made his heart jump wildly for a while without knowing why.

"Doctor Su doesn't have to be like this, just treat it as Yuan Qi's repayment for Doctor Su's rescue at the entrance of Xincao County that day!"

After hearing this, Su Yanrou shook her head and said, "I just saw Mr. Yuan's chickenpox, but Mr. Yuan saved my life. This is incomparable!"

Yuan Qi smiled, and was about to wave her hand in return when a voice broke the conversation between the two.

"Doctor Su, Doctor Su!" A woman's anxious voice came from a distance.

Su Yanrou came back to her senses, only then did she see that the entire Xincao County still had the bustling scene that she had seen earlier, and the bustling streets around her had now been replaced by pieces of ruins and broken walls.

Occasionally, there were a few miserable howls of women, which showed that tragedies had flooded the entire county in just a moment.

"Doctor Su, please, please save my little Shengzi, his leg was broken!" The woman who had already run to Su Yanrou's side wailed and dragged Su Yanrou towards the distance go.

Su Yanrou nodded.Just as he was about to take a step forward, several men and women rushed over, kowtowed and said, "Doctor Su, please save our family!"

Speaking of Su Yanrou, she saw many people walking towards her carrying traumatized family members.

Yuan Qi frowned, walked quickly to the people and began to order, "Now the young, strong and uninjured men come with me to the ruins to save people, and the remaining women and children stay, and those who can help Dr. Su Don't be lazy, take action!"

Yuan Qi spoke and began to direct.

Su Yanrou smiled knowingly at him, quickly wrote a list and handed it to Xingyun, asking her to go to the nearest Jingyang City to buy medicine, and then she started to get busy.

The pain brought to Xincao County after the earthquake is unforgettable, but it also made Su Yanrou understand how precious life is, and made her decide that no matter what, the child in her belly is everything to her now.

After spending the darkest and saddest seven days, Su Yanrou wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the few medicinal materials left in the storehouse, pacing anxiously back and forth. Xing Yun had been out for three days, logically speaking, she should be with this Jingyang City walked back and forth twice, but there was no sign of it until now.

"Miss, miss!" Panting heavily, Qingqing leaned on the door frame, looked at Su Yanrou who was burning in the warehouse, and continued, "Xingyun is back. But he didn't bring back a single herb."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Su Yanrou hurried out following Qingqing's footsteps, and all she saw was a group of villagers surrounding Xingyun, swearing and swearing.

"We gave you all our savings, and you didn't even bring back a single herb!"

"My husband's leg was injured twice to save everyone. Without the golden sore medicine, how do you let my husband live for the rest of his life?"

"I'm sorry, me? Me?" Xingyun was speechless, and could only wipe away tears anxiously.

Su Yanrou frowned, quickly took a few steps forward, peeled away the people surrounding Xingyun, stepped forward and hugged her in her arms and said, "Xingyun, what happened?"

Xingyun knelt on the ground with aggrievedness, kowtowed to Su Yanrou and said, "Miss, it's not Xingyun's fault, it's because a rich merchant came to Jingyang City two days ago and bought all the medicinal herbs in Jingyang City, including the surrounding area. , and intend to sell it at a high price, the money everyone gave was enough to buy a carload of medicinal materials, but now it is enough to buy a pack, I? I really have no choice!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they began to discuss angrily. Of course, they all scolded this unscrupulous businessman, who was more insidious and cunning than Yuan Qi in the county.

After hearing Xing Yun's words, Su Yanrou was also extremely angry.Now she even spent all the money to buy the anti-fetal medicine, and now she ran into this kind of profiteer who took advantage of the fire.

"Xingyun!" Su Yanrou lifted Xingyun on the ground, patted the dust off her body and said, "Go, take me to Jingyang City, I want to see how deceitful this businessman is."

Jingyang City, a hundred miles away.

Su Yanrou sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside the city. Although the center of the earthquake was in Xincao County, Jingyang City was more or less affected.

The broken earthen pots and the crumbling grass sheds at the door of every household have long been buried by loess.

Su Yanrou looked at the closed medical clinics and herbal medicine shops on the street, and her heart tightened. Practitioners of medicine are virtuous in the world. Now that the channels for treating diseases and saving lives are cut off, how will the people in Jingyang City and the surrounding counties survive? .

After walking for some time, Su Yanrou felt that the carriage stopped, Xingyun took her off the carriage, pointed to the mansion next to her, and said to Su Yanrou, "Miss, this is here. Find out, this rich businessman lives here!"

Su Yanrou nodded and raised her eyes to look up and down the mansion. The gold-lettered signboard reads the word "Xiangfu", the lintels are all made of pure gold silk nanmu, and the two stone lions at the door are so luxurious that even the bells around their necks are made of gold. .

"The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the road is frozen to death." Su Yanrou's first thought was this poem when she saw this.

Holding the hem of her skirt, Su Yanrou walked to the door of Xiangfu, and began to knock on the door.

Dong dong dong

After a while, the door opened quietly, and a lazy-looking guard glanced at Su Yanrou, and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to buy medicine? It's sold out, come early tomorrow!"

After speaking, the door closed with a bang.

Su Yanrou's hand stopped in mid-air while still maintaining the posture of knocking on the door. She didn't even say a word, and she was turned away?

Turning around, Su Yanrou looked at the helpless Nebula behind her. She finally understood that after the medicine of love was monopolized, she had to queue up early in the morning to buy medicine, and she, Su Yanrou, who came to reason with her, didn't even give her a chance. .

Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly saw two beggars hiding in the alley of Xiangfu's house, and stepped forward quickly. When she saw the two beggars secretly eating a roast chicken, the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched. Hooked up.

"Xingyun!" Su Yanrou hooked her fingers and whispered a few words into Xingyun's ear.

At the same time, in the prime minister's mansion.

Smoke billowed in the luxurious wing room, and a slender figure in a dark blue brocade robe leaned against the bead curtain, looking at a blooming hibiscus flower on the window sill.

"Master!" The person who spoke was a man in a navy blue robe who looked like a housekeeper.

"Are you here?" The man in the dark blue robe spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Here we come!" The man replied, looking back at the impatient guard who opened the door lazily for Su Yanrou just now.

"Well done, reward!" said the man in the dark blue robe, stretched out his hand to touch the hibiscus flower in front of him, and slowly turned his face away.A silver mask covered his entire face. He sat slowly in front of the mahogany table, held a cup of tea and put it on his lips and said to himself, "Su Yanrou, I have been looking for you so hard!"

??

In front of Xiangfu.

A shabby little beggar rubbed his trembling hands as he walked past two stone lions and knocked on the door desperately.

"Please, please, give me some food!" The trembling voice shouted from the beggar's mouth, making the passers-by sound particularly bleak.

The door was opened again.

It was still the doorman from just now, and seeing his displeased face, he pushed the little beggar and shouted, "You don't even look where this is, you dare to come here to beg for food, you're out of order!"

The little beggar who was pushed seemed to be too weak, and fell backwards when his center of gravity was unstable. He only heard "Ouch", and the little beggar began to roll back and forth on the ground with his waist supported.

The guard looked at the situation in front of him in surprise, then looked at his hands, and was about to explain when he saw another beggar rushing out from behind the stone lion, threw himself on the little beggar and began to cry, "I will kill you!" Yes, what's going on? Who beat my sister unscrupulously?"

The little beggar pointed to the guard.

The beggar came to his senses, glared at the doorman, the corner of his mouth twitched the moment he lowered his head, with a few tears in his eyes, he yelled frantically, "Oh my god, it's killing people, the doorman of Xiangfu's mansion is killing people, is there any reason?"

At this moment, people passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion surrounded them one after another, frequently accusing the Prime Minister's stewards of deceiving others too much.

The helpless doorman had no choice but to go in and ask the housekeeper for instructions. After a while, he came out and trotted to the two beggars and said, "The two grandmas, my housekeeper invited the two of you to come in for a discussion. He specifically explained that as long as you two stop fighting, We have something to discuss!"

Su Yanrou, who was hugging Xingyun, heard this, and blinked at Xingyun, Xingyun immediately turned up, followed Su Yanrou to support her waist, and cried out for pain.While walking towards the mansion.

After entering the Xiangfu, Su Yanrou was almost stunned by the sight in front of her. The courtyard of the Xiangfu was full of hibiscus flowers, probably because of the early spring, they were already budding and waiting for the first warm current to come to the world. The scramble was released.

Seeing this, Su Yanrou frowned, her heart ached, and a man's face flashed in her mind. Once he planted a garden of hibiscus flowers for her, and now those hibiscus flowers have already left with her Withered into spring mud.

"Does your master like hibiscus flowers very much?" Su Yanrou asked, looking at the guard walking in front.

The guard shook his head and said, "It should be, I don't know very well, I have only had a few months with the master, I only know that the master has always liked to visit the Furong Garden and occasionally would be in a daze!"

daze?After hearing this, Su Yanrou's mouth twitched, she couldn't imagine what it would be like for a wealthy man to be in a daze with a few flowers.

After walking for a while, Su Yanrou followed the doorman to the door of a small wing room, the doorman said, "You two just go in, our Butler Sun is waiting for you inside."

Su Yanrou nodded, and led Xingyun into the wing.

Just when Su Yanrou was surprised that there was no one there except for the simple display at a glance, a man's elegant voice sounded behind Su Yanrou, "Please sit down, two."

Su Yan turned her head softly, only then did she see the person in front of her, wearing a navy blue brocade gown, with a straight back, like Mu Junya, with a faint smile on her brow.

Su Yanrou nodded and sat at the table with Xingyun standing on one side.

The man raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said, "My surname is Sun, and my single name is Yao. I'm the housekeeper of this Prime Minister's mansion. I don't know how to call Miss!"

After Su Yanrou listened, she looked at her clothes and at Xingyun, knowing that there must be some flaws. In this case, Su Yanrou is not a person who plays tricks, so she said straight to the point, "Sun Butler, I heard that this Xiangfu The Prime Minister bought all the medicinal materials from all over the world, and I am here to buy medicine!"

When Sun Yao heard it, the corners of his mouth hooked up, he picked up the tea bowl next to him and poured a cup of tea for Su Yanrou, and said, "I don't know what to call the girl!"

Su Yanrou looked at the tea on the table, licked her dry lips, frowned and said, "My family name is Su and my name is Yanrou, but Butler Sun, can you please change to white water, me?"

Su Yanrou blushed, smiled, and continued, "I'm nearly three months pregnant, this tea is not suitable for me!"

Hearing Su Yanrou's words, Sun Yao's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he lowered his head suddenly to look at Su Yanrou's stomach.

"Butler Sun, did you hear that?" Su Yanrou stretched out her hand in confusion and shook it in front of Sun Yao.

Sun Yao came back to his senses, and immediately got up and ran outside. After a while, there was a pot of freshly boiled water in his hand, and he took a few sour fruits and stuffed them into Su Yanrou's hand.

Su Yanrou was overjoyed when she saw it. It turns out that this pregnant woman still has this kind of treatment, but the treatment is good. She has not forgotten the serious business of coming here today.

Just as he was about to mention the matter of buying medicine again, Sun Yao took the lead and said, "Doctor Su, I just went out and told our father about your matter. Our father has already lived in Jingyang City for a long time. It's been a month, and I've heard a little about your medical skills, but our grandfather has a strange disease, if you can cure it, our grandfather will give you all the medicinal materials we bought."

After Su Yanrou heard this, she felt a little anxious. She was not sure about seeing a doctor, but Xincao County is currently in short supply of medicinal materials. Sometimes people can fully recover from seeing a doctor, and the shortest time is seven days. Don't mention the long ones, it's three or four years old, she can consume enough energy, and the people in Xincao County can't afford it.

Su Yanrou shook her head, and after thinking for a long time, she took off a pair of hibiscus hairpins from her head. This was a birthday gift he gave her when she married Gu Youcheng in the first year. Now that Gu Youcheng is dead, she has also been divorced. , The reason why this hibiscus hairpin was not thrown away was because it was still worth a hundred taels of silver. Now that the people in Xincao County are in trouble, it just so happens that this hibiscus hairpin has a place to use, "Sun Butler, please help me, Can you sell me a batch of medicinal materials first? The people in Xincao County urgently need these medicinal materials! As for the money, I will use this hairpin as the top."

Sun Yao stared at the Furong hairpin in front of him, his eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Su Yanrou thought that Sun Yao was not going to agree, so she knelt down on the ground with a plop and said, "Sun Butler, I promise you to treat your grandfather, but can you pay me a batch of medicinal materials first, and Xincao County There was an earthquake just a few days ago, and the people are miserable, so I beg you!"

"Miss?" Xingyun looked at Su Yanrou in surprise, and stared at Sun Yao angrily.

Sitting on the stool, Sun Yao's face collapsed, and he quickly helped Su Yanrou up and said, "Doctor Su, you? Don't kneel, if you kneel again, I should pack up and leave. I agree to everything you said. Alright, how about this, I'm going to prepare a load of medicinal materials for your maid to send back, can you stay in the mansion to see a doctor for our grandfather?"

Su Yanrou nodded, although she didn't understand the reason why the butler grandson would leave the house as soon as she knelt down, but as long as she could save the people of Xincao County and make others sick, Su Yanrou would be fine. .
