Chapter 25 Mr. Meng

The concierge stretched out his head to look at Jiang Yixi and the others, and said, "Please wait a moment."

Less than half an hour later, the concierge came back with a much more enthusiastic attitude.

"Master, please invite Miss Jiang in."

Jiang Yixi's master and servant were taken to a courtyard, or rather a garden.

There are various flowers and green plants planted in the garden, some planted on the ground and some planted in flower pots. An old man in his sixties was busy, with dirt on his body and hands.

The old man straightened up, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is here."

The voice is loud and clear.

Duke Meng was tall and tall, with a gray beard that covered half of his face. He had wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows that slanted into his temples, and his eyes were like copper bells. He was calm and powerful. Underneath his mighty appearance, there was a kind and generous heart.

Seeing him, Jiang Yixi's eyes turned red, and she felt close to him unconsciously. She had only seen him twice in her previous life, and as long as he was around, others would not dare to speak ill of her.

In Jiang Yixi's heart, Mr. Meng is the elder who treats her best besides her parents.

Jiang Yixi knelt down and said with a smile, "Junior Yixi has met Mr. Meng." He looked around again, "There are flowers in bloom, birds singing and flowers fragrant, green mountains far away, and streams surrounding it. It's really like a fairyland."

Meng Laoguo's eyes were crinkled with laughter. He looked Jiang Yixi up and down and asked, "Do you like it here?"

"I like it very much." Jiang Yixi said sincerely.

The old man was even more happy, "I will come to play more often in the future, and I can also talk to the old man more. From now on, you can call me Grandpa Meng, so that you won't be unfamiliar with me."

"Grandpa Meng."

"Eh."

Duke Meng happily agreed and took Jiang Yixi to visit the garden.

Most of the flowers here are clivias and orchids, but there are also peonies, chrysanthemums, peonies, roses and other flowers. Most of them are famous brands, and there are also many treasures. Peonies and other flowers are in full bloom, and the garden is full of colorful colors and fragrant fragrance.

There is also a kind of flower that Jiang Yixi has never seen before. The vines climb half a foot high, are purple-red, bloom in layers, and are extremely beautiful.

Jiang Yixi walked closer and said, "Ah, it's so beautiful. What kind of flower is this?"

"The triangle flower was bought by my old subordinate Zheng Ji as a gift to me from the Fan people. I took care of it carefully for more than a year before it bloomed so luxuriantly. If the little girl likes it, I will divide it for you. But this flower is afraid of the cold.

It likes light, so it needs to be moved to a greenhouse at the end of autumn, and it needs to be sunny..."

Jiang Yixi likes flowers, especially those that bloom brightly and luxuriantly. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Meng."

The old man laughed loudly and said, "Little girl, please be happy. I will have someone divide the plants for you, and then I will go to your farm to teach you how to take care of them."

He then pointed to a pot of Clivia and said, "This is the King of Pearls. The flowers are so beautiful. Old man Liu wanted to buy it for five thousand taels of silver, but I was not willing to sell it. If you like it, come and enjoy it when it blooms."

Jiang Yixi happily accepted the invitation, "It's blooming. Grandpa Meng, don't forget to notify me."

The two chatted and complimented each other. Jiang Yixi praised the old man for being strong, good at both civil and military affairs, and loving elegance. The old man praised Jiang Yixi for being a hero, not pretentious, generous and polite.

After walking around the garden, the two of them became very familiar and warm.

In her previous life, Jiang Yixi didn't even dare to talk to the old man. Only in this life did she realize that the old man was so approachable.

It was late spring now. After walking around for a while, Jiang Yixi's forehead and the tip of her nose were already covered with beads of sweat, and she wiped them with a handkerchief from time to time.

The old man couldn't let her sit in the garden anymore, so he took her to the study room in the outer courtyard.

The outer study is a courtyard, with dozens of bird cages hanging on the corridor. The birds chirp happily, the sound is very loud, as if they have entered the forest.

The old man not only loves flowers, but also loves birds.

A handsome young man stepped forward and said with a smile, "Old man, that wild cat is here again asking for food."

The old man asked, "Did you feed it the little fish left for it?"

The boy smiled and said, "Look, it is eating."

In the corner, a tabby cat was eating fish happily. He looked up at them, then lowered his head and continued eating fish.

Jiang Yixi laughed. This cat looked very much like the civet cat she met at Zhaoming Temple that day.

After entering the room and taking a seat, the servants served tea.

Jiang Yixi took a sip, looked at the servants on both sides, and hesitated to speak.

The old man asked, "What's wrong, little girl?"

Jiang Yixi nodded.

The old man waved his hand and everyone in the Meng family retreated. Aunt Wu glanced at Jiang Yixi and pulled Shuiling away.

Jiang Yixi then asked, "Excuse me, Grandpa Meng, how is Prince Meng's eyes treated?"

The old man became upset when he thought about this, "Well, it's been more than a year since I returned to Beijing, and I've been to famous doctors all the time, but they haven't been able to cure me. It's such a pity that Ci Mo, all his abilities are being delayed by his eyes."

Jiang Yixi asked, "Do those doctors treat eye diseases?"

The old man said, "Ci Mo's disease is originally about the eyes, and of course it is treated as an eye disease. However, some people have suggested that it may be caused by an injury to the head, but the vast majority of imperial doctors and doctors do not agree with this statement, and the people who proposed it also do not agree with it.

There is no good treatment."

Jiang Yixi asked again, "Did Prince Meng's eyes get hurt by a hard object?"

Of course she knew, she asked deliberately.

The old man shook his head and said, "It seems that his eyes were not injured, but his head was broken. But the head is not seriously injured, but the eyes cannot be seen."

Jiang Yixi said, "That's it. The root of the disease is in the brain. It must have been caused by blood in the brain when I fell down. The blood clot pressed on the meridians connecting the eyes, causing the eyes to be unable to see."

The old man looked stunned, "How do you know?"

Jiang Yixi said, "My master said it. I told him about Meng Shizi's symptoms, and he said so."

The old man hurriedly said, "Immediately ask your master to come and diagnose and treat Cimo."

Jiang Yixi said, "He left. I also begged him at that time, but he was unwilling to treat Prince Meng."

The old man was disappointed and puzzled, "Has our Meng family ever offended him?"

Jiang Yixi shook her head and said, "No, there was another reason why he died..."

The old man asked again, "What is your master's name? Why didn't he treat Cimo?"

Jiang Yixi said, "He said that he had sworn an oath not to treat the officials and family members of the Jin Dynasty. He also didn't let me say his last name, and I can't say that he studied medicine with him."

Old Duke Meng's eyes were bulging as big as copper bells, and his face turned red with excitement, "Is that man's surname Shen? Only old Shen has sworn this oath. I sent people everywhere to find out about him, but I never thought that we would actually come to the capital. have no idea."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "My surname Shen was guessed by Grandfather Meng, but I didn't say anything. Although my master is gone, he taught me how to cure diseases."

The old man was a little suspicious, "Can you treat Cimo's eyes?"

Jiang Yixi didn't dare to finish her words, "I have learned it, but I have never treated anyone, and I don't know if it is good."

Meng Laogonggong asked again, "How long have you studied?"
