I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 11: Using Granny Liu to Alert Wang Fenglazi

Xue Baochai's unique flower illustration skills and her calm and careful thinking really moved Jia's mother. So she secretly wrote a letter to Zhongjing Hou. When the third nephew saw the letter from his great-aunt, he immediately contacted the prefect of Yingtian.

Xue Pan's case was finally solved. Although he was imprisoned, it was a murder case, so he was sentenced to one year of exile. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were very relieved to learn about this. Although he was exiled for one year, the case was finally closed. Xue Pan should also suffer a little, so that he can understand the highness of the world and the sufferings of the world.

Late at night on September 14, after An Wuxia had helped Daiyu take her medicine, he was thinking that the black carrier pigeon "Mo Wu" had taken away the message, and it was time for a reply. He always looked forward to another surprise by his pillow at night.

At noon on September 15, Mrs. Wang's maid Zhou Ruijia came with Granny Liu and Ban'er, just in time to meet Granny Liu. An Wuxia ran into them, so she bowed slightly to Zhou Ruijia and quickly let them pass. When Granny Liu passed by with a hunched back and Ban'er, she saw it clearly.

In the cold winter, Granny Liu was wearing a worn-out blue cotton jacket, the cotton wool inside was faintly visible. Her dark face was deeply wrinkled, like the dry bark of an old tree.

The burden of life had made her hunchbacked, and her rough hands never forgot to hold Ban'er's small hands tightly. The worn cotton shoes on her feet were covered with mud because of the hasty journey. And the little Ban'er was wearing an extremely worn and thin cotton coat, and even the sleeves were worn out, revealing some cotton wool.

The little hands were covered with red and swollen chilblains. The originally tender and plump little hands now looked full of red and purple spots and blood scabs. The chubby little face was even redder from the cold, as if it had deliberately applied very red rouge. Looking at the backs of the old and the young staggering away, An Wuxia felt inexplicably sad.

It seems that Cao Gong did not deceive the world. This old man and this young man are the epitome of the most ordinary working people in ancient times. They are in tattered clothes and look very old. They are really incompatible with this wealthy family. It's a pity that this old man and this young man braved the cold winter and came to beg for money so that their family could have a good New Year.

An Wuxia felt inexplicably sad. So, while Granny Liu and Ban'er were waiting to see Wang Xifeng, she quietly opened the "Ren Miao Hu Bei." She quickly selected some high-quality cinnamon twigs, safflower, borneol, angelica, glycerin and other medicinal materials, and quickly got a small box of ointment - Chilblain Elixir - from the pharmaceutical department.

She quietly came to the back hall and saw the grandmother and her granddaughter timidly waiting for Zhou Rui's wife. It happened that Zhou Rui's wife was going to see Ping'er at that time.

An Wuxia walked in with a smile on her face, bowed gently and said, "Hello, grandma!"

Granny Liu hugged Ban'er and responded kindly, "Hello, young lady!"

An Wuxia continued, "I am Zhaoxia, Miss Lin's maid. I just went to get pills for our girl and happened to run into you. I see that this boy has severe frostbite on his hands. Here is a box of ointment. You might as well wipe it on him. The effect is also very good."

Granny Liu bowed happily and thanked her, saying, "It's rare that you have such a kind heart. I'm really grateful. Ban'er, why don't you thank me quickly?"

But Ban'er just looked shy and timid, trying to hide behind Granny Liu.

An Wuxia said, "Grandma, please don't be polite. I'll apply some ointment on you and I hope you'll be fine in a while."

Granny Liu held Ban'er's little hand tightly, and it was like a wrinkled big hand holding a small hand covered with chilblains. An Wuxia opened the chilblain ointment, and immediately a cool and fragrant smell wafted out. It made people feel refreshed and energetic.

An Wuxia leaned over and wiped his two little hands, and he immediately jumped for joy. "Grandma! My hands don't hurt or itch anymore! They smell good! Thank you, sister!"

Ban'er's hands gradually became rosy, delicate and shiny, and the red, swollen, ulcerated and scabby areas were slowly disappearing, which was an immediate effect. Not to mention, the medicine produced by the medicinal materials cultivated in the "Ren Miao Hu Cup" was indeed very effective.

Coincidentally, Zhou Ruijia came out and saw Ban'er looking at his hands happily, with the blood scabs falling off quietly.

Zhou Ruijia asked, "Young man, why are you so happy? Is there something happy?!"

Ban'er looked at his own hands and said happily, "It was this sister who cured my frostbite. Come and see!"

Zhou Ruijia looked down and saw that the redness, swelling, ulcers and blood scabs were slowly growing on the fair and delicate skin as if they were infected by ink, and the blood scabs kept falling off.

"Oh my! I'm so old, but this is the first time I've seen such a miraculous thing! What kind of miraculous medicine is this?!" Zhou Ruijia was also surprised.

As she said this, Ping'er, who was coaxing her elder sister to sleep in the east room, also vaguely heard the noise outside, and gently put her elder sister down and walked out. "Oh, it's so lively, what are you talking about?" Ping'er asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruijia smiled and said, "Miss Ping, come and have a look! This chilblain has become tender right now, it's really magical." Ping'er came closer and saw that blood scabs were falling off Ban'er's little hands, and tender flesh was growing rapidly. Coincidentally, Wang Xifeng came back from the wife's place and was serving food. Ping'er was also here from a distance.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Sister Zhou, Ping'er, what strange and interesting things are you all watching here?!" Ping'er hurriedly smiled and explained in detail, also telling the story of Liu Laolao.

Wang Xifeng immediately made arrangements and said, "If there really is such a magical ointment, our eldest sister's hand happens to be a little red and swollen, so let her use it. By the way, let them prepare more of this good medicine and keep it for future use."

By chance, Jia Rong came to borrow the glass screen on the kang. After some laughter, he ordered someone to carefully carry it away. Although Wang Xifeng was young, she felt pity for the old and young who spoke shyly and gave them twenty taels of silver. She quickly let them fill their stomachs. Knowing that it was not easy for them to travel and the days were short in winter, she let them go back, hoping that they could have a good New Year.

As soon as the two left, Wang Xifeng hurriedly dismissed her attendants and called An Wuxia over.

"You are the eldest daughter of the An family! Your background can be hidden from the world, but your exquisite medical skills and good looks are real!" Feng Lazi slammed the table and scolded.

An Wuxia secretly thought: "What a shameless Feng Lazi! How dare she cheat me!"

But she was as steady as a rock, and said confidently, "Grandma, you are really forgetful. I am Zhaoxia, the eldest maid who came with Miss Lin."

Wang Xifeng looked around her with a venomous look, and looked An Wuxia up and down for a long time. "The Imperial Medical Institute was in trouble, and their homes were confiscated, their houses were burned, and they were executed. But this family was robbed by a mysterious person and their lives and deaths are unknown. I think you are the escaped daughter of the An family."

An Wuxia said calmly, "Second Madam, you really made a mistake. If I were the daughter you mentioned, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Wang Xifeng continued sternly, "Don't play dumb. I'll make you suffer a little, and you won't confess."

An Wuxia said calmly, "It doesn't matter if Second Madam hits me, but I really didn't mean it. Why bother? Look at my hands. I was born to be a maid. How can I be a rich lady?"

Since she started to flee, she has been collecting herbs and selling them to make a living. Although she met Jia Min who took her in and came to the Lin Mansion, in order to hide her identity, she did nothing but treat people. As long as it was a servant's job, she never refused. Those qualified old maids, seeing that she was gentle and easy to control, often let her do rough work.

Feng Lazi took a quick look and saw that the rough hands were not even those of a maid in the Jia Mansion. Although they were slender, dark and yellow, they were obviously a pair of hands that had been worked for many years. She breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wang Xifeng asked angrily, "Where did you get this miraculous ointment?"

An Wuxia said calmly: "This is what I carry with me."

Wang Xifeng kept asking, "How did a maid like you get such precious medicine?!"

An Wuxia explained, "I grew up in a poor family, and I followed my parents into the mountains to collect herbs, so I have a rough understanding of herbs. Today, I saw that the young master's hands were severely frostbitten, so I took some out to wipe them for him."

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng didn't believe it. "But that's nonsense. You are obviously a maid of the Lin family! How can you follow your parents to collect herbs for a living?!"

An Wuxia hurriedly continued, "I entered the Lin Mansion a few years ago. Madam Jia saw that I knew a little bit about medicinal herbs and a few words, so she kept me by her side."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and asked again in confusion, "Since you have such a precious medicine, I guess you know a little bit about medicine."

An Wuxia said calmly, "My father left me that ointment. I used it on my little brother today because I saw that he had severe frostbite. I felt sorry for him."

Wang Xifeng smiled slyly and said, "If you take out such a precious medicine and show it to others easily, you will only make others jealous for nothing."

An Wuxia bowed to her and said, "It's not a magic pill, it's worth saving people! We are also from a poor family, I am happy to help them!"

Wang Xifeng admired her kindness at this time, "You are such a kind-hearted girl!"

An Wuxia smiled and complimented him, "Second Madam is a living Bodhisattva. You helped them today, and their family won't starve anymore."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's just that the poor farmers are in dire straits and I'm just trying to help them."

An Wuxia bowed his head again respectfully and humbly, and then said, "I used to hear the elders say that no matter how rich and powerful a king or general is, it is not forever! One must do good deeds, teach his children strictly, and be diligent and frugal, so that talented people can emerge and the family can prosper."

Wang Xifeng glanced at An Wuxia and said, "You are a maid but you know quite a lot!"

An Wuxia hurriedly tried to cheer Wang Xifeng up by saying, "Second Madam, you are the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, a person with great fortune. I just said this casually, and you naturally understand it very well."

Wang Xifeng chuckled, pointed at her and said, "No wonder you followed me here from the Lin family in Yangzhou. It's all thanks to your clever mouth that you are good at making people happy."

An Wuxia said hurriedly, "Second Madam, I cannot bear your words. I just understand a little because I have watched many plays with my wife. Second Madam, you see, there are so many great figures in history, and they all get what they want. In the end, they are just a handful of yellow earth, and they are gone in the blink of an eye! Therefore, things in the world are unpredictable, and we must always be prepared for danger in times of peace, and leave a way out for us to turn around. Like Second Madam, do good deeds when you can, and help others when you can, then you will enjoy endless blessings!"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile on her face, "Look at your clever little mouth. It makes me so happy that I don't want to let you go."

An Wuxia knew that this was an order to leave, so she bowed and said, "Grandma, thank you for your compliment. You are a sensible person and you just don't mind my talkativeness. I should go back and serve Miss Lin!"

After An Wuxia left, Wang Xifeng immediately stopped smiling and said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, pay more attention to this morning glow! Anyone who has the guts to remind me is definitely not an ordinary person!"
