Chapter 16
It rained a little bit in early summer dusk, the ground was slightly wet, and the pomegranate flowers in the courtyard were blooming brightly, hot and scorching.
There are several pots of gardenia on the steps. Although they have not yet bloomed, they have already grown plump buds, crowded with clusters. You can imagine that they will bloom very lively soon.
The yard was very quiet. Although there were a few servants, no one spoke and they were doing their own work.
Sima Lantai walked in with Mo Tong, and the servants in the yard hurriedly greeted him. The two little maids standing on the steps at the door hurriedly said, "Young Master Seven is here!"
The voice was high and tight, and it didn't seem like paying respects to Sima Lantai, but it was like reporting to the people in the room.
Mo Tong couldn't help but grin and stared at his young master. Obviously, this has happened more than once.
Sima Lantai looked solemn, and he didn't even look at the two maids, but his pace was obviously faster.
Mo Tong looked at the two maids with a smile and made a face. The two had no intention of playing with him, and they both twisted their handkerchiefs and looked into the room.
Sure enough, when I entered the room, I saw the people inside looking a little flustered. There was a faint fragrance of wine floating in the room. I sniffed it carefully and it should be the smell of goose wine.
There were several maids and two mothers serving in the room, and they all came to greet Sima Lantai.
"Brother Lan is here, sit down! Didn't anyone ask you to take your pulse today?" Sitting on Xiangfei's couch was a beautiful woman in her forties. She had a light green long gown with a moon-white armor, her eyebrows were deep and her eyes were beautiful, and her voice was soft, making her look younger than her actual age.
"Mother is drinking again?" Sima Lantai did not greet him and asked directly, and the word "六" was very serious.
It turns out that this beautiful woman is Sima Lantai's biological mother Luan. When they look closely, they always look four or five points similar.
However, Sima Chu's face was brighter, not as gentle as Luan's. His temperament was also colder, not as friendly as his mother.
Luan originally wanted to deny it, but when she got to her son's eyes, she didn't have the courage to lie. Qiqiai Ai said, "Isn't this... it rained? Have a drink to suck the cold air..." The more she went, the lower her voice became, and she was obviously guilty.
The cold weather in May is obviously unreasonable.
"My mother's body should not drink alcohol, as it will cause heart disease. Do I need me to say it a few more times?" Sima Lantai did not speak harshly, but everyone in the room felt frightened.
Although there is no perfect person in the world, Sima Lantai is a rare zhilan and jade tree. Most people will inevitably feel inferior in front of him. Even if he doesn't say anything, he will feel ashamed, let alone being asked by him.
Luan is more afraid of her only son than her husband. Perhaps it is because he left home since childhood and the mother and son are separated for many years, so he is inevitably unfamiliar with him.
Maybe it was because I felt guilty, after all, my son left home because he was suffering from a stubborn disease.
The Kingdom of Daxia worships Buddhism. When parents suffer from illness and disaster, their children often go to the temple to pray for "sacrifice themselves" and pray.
At that time, Luan had abnormal heart disease and asked famous doctors everywhere but failed. Her husband Sima Jun wanted his son to become a monk and help his mother to eliminate disasters.
Later, by chance, Master Qingluan from Xianyuan Mountain took a fancy to Sima Chu, took him as his apprentice, and brought him back to the outer immortal source.
There is a large Lao Academy Palace in Xianyuan Mountain, where hundreds of male disciples learn medical skills from the masters.
Therefore, although Sima Lantai has not become a monk, it is similar to becoming a monk.
Ten years are not short, enough to make the familiar people strange to each other.
It is easy for Sima Lantai to be an official.
But he was indifferent by nature, learned a lot of medical skills, and had the ambition to save the world, so his parents did not force him to enter the official career.
Anyway, the Sima family is prosperous, and many people are there.
"Mother took out her hand," Sima Lantai said: "It's time to take a pulse."
After he came back, he would take his mother's pulse every morning and evening, but his heart disease was difficult to treat, not to mention the serious illness.
For diseases like this, you cannot use severe medicine. You can only flow slowly and slowly. Medicine and acupuncture are in parallel, and dietary conditioning should also be supplemented to achieve results.
But Luan's greed for wine, she couldn't help but drink it secretly, which made Sima Lantai feel a headache. His mother was actually very willful.
"Brother Lan, today your uncle sent someone to come and said that you want to hold a family dinner on the sixth day of the lunar month, so you are invited to go there. There are no outsiders, except our two families, and your two aunts' houses." Luan said as she looked at her son's face: "You have thought very much about your relatives, especially you juniors, who have grown up now, and you should go around more."
"I have something to do on the sixth day of the lunar month, let's go another day." Sima Lantai said: "I agreed that it was just a family dinner, so I can't arrange blind dates for me again."
"So you already have someone you like?" Luan's eyes lit up immediately: "Which girl from which family?"
"No." Sima Lantai said: "I am busy preparing for the clinic and have no intention of thinking about these."
Luan couldn't help but be anxious and advised: "Son, you can't say that. You are nineteen years old this year. Even if you don't get married, you should choose a marriage. This doesn't conflict with you when you open a clinic! My mother is just worried that you have too high vision and finally got dazzled. Like your twelfth uncle, she is still in her thirty years old and hasn't gotten married."
Sima Lantai didn't say anything. He didn't like to refute too much, but the silence already showed that he did not agree.
But like all mothers, Luan always refused to give up and continued to persuade: "The last time the two sisters of Qingjia and Qingyuan came to see you, do you still remember? Which one do you like more?"
The two girls Luan mentioned are the two daughters of her brother's family, that is, her niece.
A few days ago, her sister-in-law came to see her in person and talked about her two daughters' worries in vain. By the way, let Luan explore Sima Chu's words and see which one he likes, and betrothed to him.
Who would have thought Sima Lantai said: "A relative who is so close will have a silly child when he gets married. Don't say such things again in the future. Let them give up their thoughts as soon as possible!"
"Hey?" Luan immediately widened her eyes. This was the first time she heard this statement: "Don't it be better to kiss with a kiss?"
"In-laws are OK, but blood relatives are spared." Sima Chu stood up and said, "Mom must not drink alcohol in the future. The medicine must be taken on time. I will come here to give you an injection tomorrow. Don't eat too much for dinner, and you must go to bed early."
"Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner at home?" Luan asked hurriedly when she saw her son leaving.
"Someone came to invite me to see a doctor just now. It was a very urgent symptom. I have to go over and take a look." Sima Lantai said: "Don't wait for me for dinner."
Luan had no choice but to do anything. Since his son had studied medicine, he naturally had to save the world. They agreed to Master Qingyun that they could not regret it.
Sima Lantai walked out of his mother's yard. At this time, the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the evening shone brightly, just like the day he returned to Tiandu.
