Chapter 29: The Twenty-Nine Days of Being Transformed into Grandmother Jia
Chapter 29 The twenty-ninth
day The candlelight in the inner chamber crackled, and the light and dark intertwined on the old lady's face. At that moment, in the eyes of Jia Zhen, who was guilty, she was like a ghost.
He took a step back in horror, "Old, old ancestor."
The old lady was extremely disgusted with his cowardly look. If such a person had not relied on being born in Ningguo Mansion, he would have become the scum of society. Of course, he is still scum now.
She took a deep breath, thinking about knocking again, but heard a familiar voice from the mall, "Ding, the mall function item opens the fourth page - cause and effect talisman, please ask anchor Shi Damei to check it as soon as possible."
"Cause and effect talisman", the old lady's eyes lit up.
According to past experience, most of the functions opened in the mall are what she needs at the moment. She quickly opened the mall. Unlike the golden light of the first three pages, the fourth page looked dark and weird.
Floating in the middle was a blood-red "talisman", and the instructions read: so-called cause and effect, birth and death, reincarnation. How to use it, point the "cause and effect talisman" at a specific person, and let him taste the fear of being haunted by the wronged spirit.
The old lady didn't even look at it. When she saw the "wronged spirit", she immediately pointed the "cause and effect talisman" at Jia Zhen, and saw a blood-red light sinking into Jia Zhen's brow.
Of course, from Jia Zhen's perspective, it was the ancestor who pointed at him, and he heard the ancestor say in a daze, "You should take care of yourself. Your good home is in a mess. If you dare to mess around again, I will burn down your father's Taoist temple and let him give you a good skin."
"Tighten your skin", I don't know which netizen or nanny the old lady learned from. Of course, she really wanted to burn down Jia Jing's Taoist temple. She chanted sutras and burned elixirs all day, thinking about ascending to heaven, and ignored her family at all. She was simply sick!
Jia Zhen did not dare to refute when he heard this. He was afraid that the old ancestor would tell the secret in his heart. He just nodded. It was not until he left Rongqing Hall and saw Jia She and Jia Zheng waiting outside that he felt relieved.
Qin Keqing's funeral was suspended for 49 days. During this period, Taoist priests were invited to hold a ceremony and monks performed rituals. There were netizens in the live broadcast room who were interested in funerals. They begged the old lady, and the old lady went to Ningguo Mansion several more times. After that, she only opened the newly released "Jia Zhen's perspective".
"I didn't expect that ancient funerals were so complicated."
"That's only the case for wealthy families. There are Taoist priests and monks. It's a bit funny to me." "
Thank you, old lady, my paper on ancient funerals is settled." "
The Taoist Association came to report."
"The Buddhist Association came to report." '
'By the way, what is the effect of that "Cause and Effect Talisman", why hasn't it come out yet. '
'The ghost of the wronged', it's not what I thought' '
Is it Qin Keqing who came to seek revenge'
...
The old lady is also looking forward to the effect of the "Cause and Effect Talisman".
However, before that, she received another letter from Yangzhou, which said, "Uncle Lin didn't have a cold, but malaria. But don't worry, grandma, there are imperial doctors who have suppressed Uncle Lin's condition. They are rushing to Kyoto now."
The old lady and the netizens were all shocked.
'It turned out to be malaria! This is not a minor illness, especially in ancient times, it is equivalent to waiting to die. '
'Malaria caused by Plasmodium infection' '
Yes, what should we do this time'
'They are rushing to Kyoto, the Imperial Hospital should be able to treat it. ' '
It seems that the team of carriages and horses that Jia Lian saw were the imperial doctors sent by the emperor, but I'm afraid most of them are treating colds. '
'Is it the "water essence" brought back by Lin Daiyu that suppressed the disease? '
'It can only suppress it. ' '
It's over, it's over, Lin Ruhai must not die. '
'What are you afraid of? If it doesn't work, we have quinine cream! '
'Extract artemisinin. '
'Use a compound, otherwise the malarial parasite will easily relapse and develop drug resistance. '
After several discussions, the live broadcast room gave the old lady several prescriptions. At the moment when the prescription appeared, the live broadcast mall opened the "drugs" column. The old lady's mouth twitched, for the "profiteer" attribute of this mall.
With the diagnosis and treatment methods, the old lady finally had the mood to pay attention to Jia Zhen again.
But Jia Zhen did not dare to act recklessly since he returned from Rongqing Hall that day. He wanted to give Qin Keqing a grand funeral. Now when the servant asked "for the grandma to use and the coffin board", he only chose the top-grade fir board.
On this day, it was the evening of the seventh day. Jia Zhen was burning incense in the mourning hall. It was not known whether it was the wind or Jia Zhen's eyes were blurry. At first glance, he seemed to see a woman in a white dress, with a pretty face and figure, just like Qin Keqing.
Jia Zhen was immediately shocked.
The netizens in the live broadcast room looked at it from Jia Zhen's perspective and were also frightened for a moment. When they looked carefully, they could not see the white figure.
"Is it Qin Keqing?"
"I don't know, call the anchor."
The old lady didn't know either. It was late at night and her heart was still pounding. She should not have watched it with netizens.
She slowed down and consulted the customer service. "It's not Qin Keqing. The customer service said it was "karma", but it used Qin Keqing's appearance. From now on, this karma will haunt Jia Zhen forever. "
"Fuck, so this is what "wronged souls haunt" means. "
"It's what it deserves. Karma. Jia Zhen deserves it. '
On the second day after Jia Zhen suspected of "encountering a ghost", he fell ill.
After that, all affairs were entrusted to Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng was good at managing the house, but she couldn't handle external social events. She could only call Jia Rong back from Jia Jing's place, and then socialize with the help of Jia Zheng and others.
'Look at Jia Rong's face, it's so ugly. '
'If I were Jia Rong, I would definitely stab Jia Zhen with that knife. '
'I thought Jia Zhen had some feelings for Qin Keqing, huh, now he's sick after seeing a shadow. '
'Where is the emotion, it's just a little guilt and for the reputation of the house. '
'Look, the shadow is now at Jia Zhen's bedside. '
'Damn, exciting. Look at Jia Zhen's expression, hahahaha, xswl. '
At this time, Jia Zhen's face was distorted, and he was pressed against the wall. "Ke'er, Ke'er, is that you? Why did you commit suicide?"
The white shadow suddenly approached, and the pale face enlarged, wrapped in the cold air, came straight to Jia Zhen, and he screamed in a moment, "Don't blame me, I don't blame me, it's you who wants to commit suicide! Go away, go away!!" "
Scumbag!"
"Beast!" "
Only when life is threatened will hypocritical people tear off their disguises and expose their selfish and dirty thoughts. "
The next moment after Jia Zhen rolled his eyes, the white shadow disappeared without a trace. The servants outside the house heard the screams and hurriedly pushed the door open, "Master, master, what's wrong with you?"
For several days afterwards, Jia Zhen was in extreme panic and confusion. He asked the mansion to speed up the funeral of Qin Keqing, and asked someone to take Jia Rong's resume and run to Dai Quan's private residence to donate a fifth-rank Dragon Guard.
Then he asked Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng to place the offerings and other things according to the specifications of a lady-in-waiting.
"Jia Zhen still spent more than a thousand taels to donate an official position to Jia Rong."
"He is buying peace of mind."
"Look, Jia Rong smashed the basin and left."
"What the hell is this "basin"?
" "Ahem,
it's just a casual word." "In the Ning and Rong mansions, people were already talking about Qin Keqing's sudden death. This time, the father-in-law fell ill for his daughter-in-law's funeral; it's not enough to fall ill, but he dragged his sick body just to give his daughter-in-law an imperial edict. You can imagine how serious the rumors will be after this."
"Look, Youshi is here. '
'Youshi is holding the medicine...'
'You finally can't stand it anymore, you want to "Dalang, take some medicine"?'
'Puff!'
On this side, Youshi handed the medicine to Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen half stood up, "How come you have a stomachache? You're better now."
Youshi didn't answer, but said, "Let me and Rong'er take care of it later, you should take good care of yourself." Jia Zhen held the bowl and paused at his lips, and then he said "hmm".
'What I mean is, damn it, don't interfere anymore. '
'It seems that Youshi can't stand
it anymore. ' 'It's too disrespectful to Youshi. If Youshi didn't know about the good things he did, it would be fine, but the key is that Youshi knew, and these people seemed to be in a tacit understanding. '
After that, the funeral went smoothly.
After 49 days, the coffin was sent to Tiekan Temple for another three days.
This day happened to be the day when Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing. Jia Lian had just kowtowed to the old lady when he was sent out again to deliver prescriptions and medicines to Lin Ruhai who was in the Imperial Hospital.
Lin Daiyu stayed to tell the old lady about what happened in Yangzhou.
As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears, "We didn't know it was malaria. If it weren't for the old ancestor asking me to bring medicine, Dad would be... Among those imperial doctors, only one is useful, and the others are all good-for-nothings."
Oh, I didn't expect that this little girl had a bad temper after being in Yangzhou for a few months. However, I think she was worried this time. The old lady touched her head, "I heard that those imperial doctors are all specializing in treating colds, so I guess they have no experience in treating malaria."
Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, but looking at her stubborn look with her head down, it was obvious that she was still angry with that bunch of useless imperial doctors.
The old lady stopped trying to persuade him, and only said, "Don't worry, your father will definitely get better. The old ancestor has medicine here."
Lin Daiyu suddenly said nervously, "Grandma, I..."
She pursed her lips, "Dad was in critical condition at the time, and I took out the marrow cleansing pill. The imperial doctors saw it and asked me for it, but because Dad's condition required it, I didn't give it to him. In addition, the marrow cleansing pill seems to have only an inhibitory effect on Dad, and it only lasts for half a month. I'll just let Dad eat and recuperate in this half month."
"It's okay, your grandfather didn't leave much, and when the time comes, grandma will give it all up." When the old lady gave Lin Daiyu the "water essence", she thought that she might be exposed.
So, she had already thought of a countermeasure. Of course, when she presented it, she would remember to ask the mall to give her a similar health product.
As for the shortening of the effect of the "water essence" on malaria, she didn't understand it either.
Netizens have some speculations, "Plasmodium is also a living thing, and it has strong vitality. It may also be nourished by the water essence to a certain extent. '
'However, at the same time, Lin Ruhai was also conditioned by the essence of the water system, which allowed him to hold on to the capital. '
...
The old lady only took a glance and passed it. She only told Lin Daiyu to wash up and rest first, and go to see Lin Ruhai tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Wang Xifeng took Baoyu and Qin Zhong to stay at Mantou Temple.
