Chapter 191: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 8
The doctor was brought over quickly. Under Su Ziyu's tough attitude, he first prescribed a fever-reducing prescription for the heroine, and then turned to treat Su Ziyu.
As expected, it was a fracture.
In ancient times, it was not possible to use plaster. Su Ziyu's arm injury was serious. The doctor who was hastily invited was not good at treating injuries. Knowing that Su Ziyu was of noble status, he only dared to give simple treatment and asked him to find another famous doctor for treatment.
Xin He's residence was remote, and no one came to inquire about the commotion that had just taken place. In this era when a woman's reputation is more important than anything else, Su Ziyu and his party did not disturb the Xin family for fear of damaging her reputation, but instead climbed the ladder and returned the same way.
After returning to the yard, Su Ziyu, with his arm in a sling, did not forget to instruct Lu Zhu to take the basket of persimmons away, and had people pick out some good ones to send to the palace, and bring the rest back home to share with his parents and the Pei brothers and sisters.
Upon learning that Su Ziyu had fallen from a tree and broke his arm, Su's mother was both frightened and distressed, and she invited the best doctor in the capital to treat his injury.
Pei Qingcheng also got the news. He lost his mind to study and took the initiative to go and visit.
Only Su Ziyu, who was lying on the bed, had his arm between two bamboo boards, hanging his arm and smiled foolishly as if nothing had happened. "Mother, Pei Qingcheng, these are the persimmons I picked myself. They are so sweet. Come and have a taste."
As he spoke, he directed Luzhu to bring over a plate of washed persimmons.
Su's mother sat by the bed, clutching her handkerchief and wiping her tears, "Looking at you like this, how can mother have the heart to eat persimmons?"
Su Ziyu was most afraid that his mother would cry, so he quickly admitted his mistake and said to her, "Mom, I was wrong. I will never climb a tree again. Please don't cry. If Dad comes back and sees me, he will probably scold me again."
Su's mother continued to wipe away her tears.
Su Ziyu was at a loss. He glanced at Pei Qingcheng and thought that his mother doted on him very much. Maybe his words would be useful, so he winked at him, trying to get him to help him persuade his mother.
Unexpectedly, Pei Qingcheng stood on Su's mother's side, staring at his tightly bandaged arm, "Son, you really should take good care of yourself."
Su Ziyu: ...traitor.
"You little brat, if you don't want me to scold you, then don't cause trouble!" Father Su pulled aside the curtain and walked into the room. He had asked for leave and rushed home, and he was still wearing his official uniform.
Su Ziyu frowned and tried to make an excuse, "That persimmon tree doesn't look very tall, but who knows it will be different once you climb up."
"How dare you say that!" Father Su demanded in a tough tone, "Until your arm is healed, you must stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere."
At dinner time, the emperor's chief eunuch, Eunuch Li, suddenly came to visit and said that the emperor was very happy to eat the persimmons offered by the prince. He also heard that the prince fell from the tree while picking persimmons, so he specially sent an imperial physician to treat the prince's injury.
When Su's father heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Ziyu has always been naughty and has caused trouble for Your Majesty."
Eunuch Li kept smiling and said meaningfully, "Lord Zhongyong, you are wrong. I think you gave birth to a good son. You are so sincere!"
"Yes, yes, that's all his merits are."
"People, sometimes a little is enough, and too much is as bad as too little."
Father Su was shocked when he heard this. Eunuch Li was the emperor's close attendant, so naturally every word he said had its own deep meaning. He pondered the meaning of these words.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Eunuch Li couldn't help but feel emotional. It was true that everyone had their own destiny. The timing of the prince sending persimmons as a thank-you gift was perfect. It just so happened that the emperor was angered by the memorial at that time and started to complain on the spot.
"Even Ziyu knows that he should be grateful for my kindness, but these ministers of mine, who receive my salary and claim to be doing good for me, obstruct me at every turn just because I want to rebuild the Linxian Terrace to listen to the heavens."
-
Even with the treatment and nursing of the imperial physician, Su Ziyu's arm still took more than a month to heal before he could finally remove the bamboo board and move around simply.
During his recovery period, Su Ziyu was almost going crazy staying at home. His mother finally gave in and agreed to let him go out, but only to accompany her to Shanci Temple.
Let alone Shanci Temple, even if Su Ziyu had to go through fire and water at this moment, it would be better than letting him stay in the mansion and listen to Luzhu reading those boring books to pass the time every day.
Pei Qingcheng was originally going to go with them, but Pei Xijun suddenly had a high fever on the day of departure. They had to stay in the temple for a few days, and he was worried that his sister would eventually choose to stay at home.
Shanci Temple is a famous temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Over the past hundred years, several abbots have produced relics after their death. The temple is extremely popular and ordinary people will kneel down and worship there whenever they have problems at home, praying for the disaster to be eliminated.
Su's mother took Su Zi to the main hall to worship Buddha and burn incense, then stopped a young monk and expressed her willingness to donate 10,000 taels of incense money just to see the abbot.
When the young monk heard so much money, his eyes widened immediately. After he reacted, he quickly put his hands together and chanted "Amitabha". He invited the mother and son to the side hall, and then he went to inform the uncle in charge.
After the little monk left, Su Ziyu said hesitantly, "Mother, isn't ten thousand taels too much?"
Su's mother clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly to the Buddha statue. "As long as my son is healthy and free from disaster, ten thousand taels is nothing. Even if it means making a golden statue of the Buddha, your mother is willing to pay for it."
At the same time, in the Zen room in the backyard.
The abbot was sitting opposite a man in black clothes, each holding a piece, and playing chess.
Li Junze casually put down the black piece in his hand, and all the white pieces were strangled, and the outcome of the game was decided.
"Amitabha, I lost." The abbot put his hands together and silently chanted "Amitabha", "Donor, you didn't come here just to play chess with me, did you?"
Li Junze lowered his eyes, "The Pei brothers and sisters were redeemed by the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."
The abbot's original surname was Pei, and he was the younger brother of Li Junze's mother. When the Pei family was convicted and their property was ransacked, he escaped because he had already become a monk.
Now, upon hearing the name Pei Family again, the abbot clasped his hands together again and said, "Amitabha, I have long since left home and have nothing to do with the mundane world."
Li Junze stared at him for a long time, and seeing that there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, he restrained his gaze and said, "The border war is about to start, Master Luowu, please help me tell the fortune!"
