Chapter 280
When the governor heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. The most wonderful thing was the word "having eyebrows and eyes", which means that the beautiful lady had hope to regain her appearance. She was so panicked that she almost tripped by the threshold and fell down. Fortunately, the doctor Zhang Yu's side was quite agile, so she quickly pulled him, thanked him again, and then walked in quickly.
When I arrived at the main hall of the yard, I saw Lu Jinping sitting there with his head down, as if he was thinking about something, and I couldn't help but feel my heart hanged again.
The governor quickly walked into the house, bowed and smiled respectfully with him, "I pay homage to the prince."
Doctor Zhang followed in immediately, bowed to salute, but did not speak. He just looked at Lu Jinping's face and observed whether there was hope for this matter. Although the maid said it with great clues, he still saw the clues from the face of the master. That was the confidence in his heart.
But seeing Lu Jinping's face mixed joys and sorrows, and there seemed to be a deep thought between his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about important things that were difficult to choose, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
Lu Jinping asked the two to sit down, looked at the governor, and slowly said, "Governor Cao, I probably found some clues about your wife's illness. However, I need some time to prepare medicine, because some medicines are difficult to find, and the time for brewing takes a process. But planning is in the hands of people and things is in heaven, and I will do my best to help your wife find her face. I also hope that she is a person of good fortune and the heaven has eyes. But the same thing is still the case, one needs time to prepare, and the other depends on her fortune. I can only tell you so much, and I cannot guarantee it with you. This requires you to understand."
This made the governor's heart fetch water with fifteen buckets, and it was easy to deal with. As for what the meaning of fate was, he was puzzled for a moment.
However, what the prince said is that people make things happen in heaven. This is the truth. Even a miraculous doctor dares to say that he can cure all diseases. However, being able to say such words to patients is equivalent to making a promise in disguise.
So, in general, the governor still had a strong hope in his heart. With gratitude, even his eyes turned red. He wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but he couldn't say a word under his sob. He could only bow and bow.
The doctor Zhang, who was standing beside him, was even more surprised and happy, and at the same time he was filled with admiration and a little ashamed.
He is known as the leader of the Imperial Hospital and the imperial physician around the emperor, who is logically the most medical skill in the world, but in the face of such a strange case, he is helpless. Instead, he let a prince who is not good at medical skills take the initiative to treat him, which makes people ashamed.
However, as long as there is hope in this case, even if he loses his face, it will be of many benefits in general. After all, he has the merit of recommendation, which is enough to be worthy of it.
Moreover, Lu Jinping is the prince, so he cannot compete with him for the position of the imperial physician. So there is no problem of worry. He is just thinking about what price to use to ask Prince Zhong for medical skills. Only by learning more of his skills can he be worthy of the title of the leader of the Imperial Hospital.
Doctor Zhang laughed and said, "But I don't know what I need to do in a humble position?"
"I need some medicinal materials to prepare medicines, and some things to prepare medicines, you'll prepare them for me."
Doctor Zhang quickly agreed, and the governor on the side was also busy agreeing, saying: "You must prepare as soon as possible. Lingzhou Prefecture is located in a remote northern border, and ordinary medicinal materials are not a problem. I just don't know if there are less commonly used medicinal materials, so I'm afraid I have to send someone to find a purchase."
Lu Jinping said: "It is because there are a few medicinal herbs that I said it takes some time to prepare. But don't worry, judging from the situation I just tested, your wife's disease shows no sign of further deterioration. That is to say, she will temporarily maintain her current appearance without aging further. By the way, I also heard that there have been several cases of aging overnight and dying soon. I want to visit one by one and check it out. During this period, you can comfort your wife so that she will not be anxious, eat a normal diet, and do not have to deliberately lie in bed. You must maintain a good attitude and mood, so that you can better cope with the disease and recover faster."
The governor quickly agreed, thinking that the prince's statement was indeed correct. It seemed that he was a person with excellent medical skills. Although he had never heard of the prince's outstanding medical skills, Zhang Yuyi, the leader of the Imperial Hospital, praised him so much and received the emperor's and prince's point of view. He must have been quite good at medical skills.
Of course, it is impossible for him to treat ordinary people as a prince. In this way, fame will definitely not be great. Fame does not represent level, and the governor himself knows this. Therefore, he keeps thanking God for giving such a great savior to save his wife's peerless face.
The governor finally calmed down and followed Dr. Zhang to say goodbye and left Lu Jinping's yard.
When he arrived outside the yard, the governor repeatedly thanked Doctor Zhang for his recommendation, saying that no matter whether the matter was successful or not, whether his wife's strange disease could be cured in the end, he was also grateful to Doctor Zhang for his strong recommendation.
Doctor Zhang comforted her again and said that Lu Jinping's medical skills were indeed the best in the world and would definitely cure his wife's illness.
After hearing the highly praised introduction from Doctor Zhang, the governor seemed to have fallen a little more. After a lot of gratitude, he broke up and returned to his residence.
The governor took a carriage to the inner house of the yamen and went straight to the bedroom. He saw his wife lying tilted on the bed, closing her eyes to rest, and tears were still hanging on the corners of her eyes.
With aches in his heart, he came to the bed and sat down, pulled her palm like a dead tree bark and rubbed it, comforting her softly: "Madam, don't worry, the prince has said that he has a way to cure your disease, but it only takes some time to dispense medicine, because there are a few medicinal herbs that are rare and there is no in Lingzhou City. He has to send someone to purchase. This Prince Zhong even admires Doctor Zhang. He is the leader of the Imperial Hospital and even admires him. This technology is really amazing. It will definitely cure your disease. Don't worry."
Mrs. Cao slowly opened her turbid eyes, and a string of tears rolled down again. She sniffed and said with a sob: "I am not afraid of it. I feel very sad when I left our children. I also thought that if I die of old age, I will never see the master again and cannot feel the master's favor for me, so I feel sad. So I cried. Since I have invited a miracle doctor who even Doctor Zhang praised to treat the lowly concubine, that is my luck. I hope that the medicine can cure the disease. From now on, I will take care of my husband and children by my side."
Speaking of sadness, Mrs. Cao's turbid tears rolled down again, and her wrinkled face kept twitching.
The governor was really moved when he saw her high cheekbones with high cheekbones. His eyes couldn't bear to stop, and his old and ugly face that made him both cherish and fear, so he moved to his still black hair, with only his hair still retaining the beauty of his wife.
He couldn't help but reach out, wrapped the handful of black hair around his palm, rubbed it lovingly, and said, "Madam, you have rested earlier. Prince Zhong has said that he will relieve you. He will cure your illness. You can eat and live a normal life without lying on the bed deliberately. You must cooperate with the prince's diagnosis and treatment with a good mood to get better recovery."
Mrs. Cao sniffed, and an ugly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile made the governor Cao twitch in his heart, thinking, I don’t know if it was a good or a bad thing, but I actually saw the old face of the wife several years later, so it turned out to be so ugly.
It seems that even the most beautiful flowers are, after they wither, they will be enough to make people feel pity and unbearable to look at them. If I had been in a few years, I would have been old and declining, and I would have no youthful sensation. I would not know what my mood would be like to guard such an old face.
Perhaps at that time, it was more of the deep affection between husband and wife and the warmth of dependents and relating to each other in their later years. Without the youthful excitement when they were young, they might be able to accept such a face.
At this moment, his heart could not accept such an ugly old woman to become his wife no matter what. Therefore, the governor secretly made up his mind to find his wife's face at all costs.
When he thought of his wife's previous beauty, he felt a sensation in his heart, and his hand tightened even more.
The next morning, Mrs. Cao got up early. After several maids came up to serve and wash, Mrs. Cao said: "Prince Zhong told me to eat and live as usual. Then I'd better go out for a walk and relax. You can find a sedan chair and I'll sit around and stroll around."
The maid Xiu hurriedly said, "Madam, your illness has not been cured yet. Although the prince said so, it is just to relax your heart. It has been snowing outside these days and the road is slippery. Moreover, the cold wind is so cold that you can't afford to hurt your body. If the condition worsens, it's great. Look at the dark clouds today, there might be a blizzard. Why don't you go out after you are fully recovered? Now, you'll still be roasting fire in the house to take some onion."
"I feel uncomfortable in the house and want to go out for a walk. No need to talk nonsense, add more clothes and bring them with me. It's going to snow. I'm still feeling more comfortable when I walk in the snow. The prince said that the key is to make me feel comfortable. If I don't get sick in the house, I will get sick if I don't get sick. What's more, this disease is a strange disease. I think that although my skin is old, my body is not old, just like my hair. Okay, stop talking, prepare quickly."
Hearing Mrs. Cao's words, several maids did not dare to persuade him anymore, so they quickly began to prepare the sedan chair. Then they took a fur coat for Mrs. Cao to put on, and someone carried a screen to follow him. If the wind was strong, they could block the wind and cold.
When he went out, Mrs. Cao was already wrapped like a rice dumpling. Except for her eyes, she was still outside, and everything else was wrapped tightly and placed on the sedan chair.
The sedan chair was placed with a brass stove, burning charcoal and covering it with a thick quilt, so that Mrs. Cao could keep warm in the sedan chair. (To be continued.)
