Chapter 185 Extra (8)
Guan Suyi hurriedly went to Guan’s house, just in time to see Zhong shi coming back from outside with a gaping empty bowl. “Mother, did you go to borrow food?” Her eyes were red, she didn’t expect that her family was already poor to this point.

Zhong shi seemed to want to hide the bowl behind her, but in the end stopped with a bitter smile. Who didn’t know the current situation of the Guan family? “There was a strong wind a few days ago, which blew the roof of our house. Your father and I quickly moved the old master to another place, but he still got drenched with some cold rain. Now the fever is high, the person is almost confused. For the medicine and to repair the house, all the money has already been spent. Your father and I can endure it, but the old master cannot lack anything. I just want to ask for some coarse flour and eggs, and make a bowl of noodles for him. But I didn’t expect the hypocrisy of the world, people who once received our family’s favor, now they don’t recognize it, indeed truly helpless…”

Her daughter had come to the door, and keeping it a secret would only make her more worried, Zhong shi might as well confess. When she finally took two steps forward to open the courtyard door, she saw several palace carriages parked at the corner, and there was also a eunuch with white hair and ruddy complexion cupped his hands and smiling at her.

“Yiyi, where are you from?”

“Mother, this is Chief Bai.” Guan Suyi explained, “Lord Marquis asked to seal the title for me. Today, after receiving the letter of approval we went to the palace to thank the emperor. But because there’s chaos in Tongcheng, he led his troops to rush to help, and the emperor let Chief Bai sent daughter back home and conveniently presented the reward. Let’s go in and talk, it’s cold outside.”

Zhong shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted Baifu and waved, “Please come in, please come in quickly. The house is still being repaired, it’s very messy, all sirs please don’t dislike. Anyway, please sit down and have a cup of hot tea!”

Baifu cupped his hands and said “Don’t dare”, then went in with a smile. He looked around, and sure enough they were destitute.

Zhong shi took the people to the main hall, served hot tea one by one, and then handed out dozens purses she had prepared. She had heard a little about the rules in the palace. These errand people had to be given ample trouble fee before they were willing to help you, especially the chief, who had seen it all, absolutely could not be too shabby. But what happened to the Guan family, they must have seen it with their own eyes, and it was really not easy to save this money. It must be known that the old master still depended on these money to save his life. Even if the couple were starving to death, they didn’t dare to use the slightest bit, but today they took it all out.

Baifu squeezed his purse and couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. If it was in the past, he would have to spit on anyone who gave him, this great Chief Bai, one hundred taels of silver, but when facing Madam Guan’s mother, he really didn’t have the guts. Madam Guan was able to struggle free out of His Majesty’s clutches, and coaxed him to sleep, and still made him laugh, she was bound to have a lot of good blessings in the future.

Before the emperor said anything, he had to respect this person. After thinking about it, Baifu returned the purse and said a lot of flattery. How could the rest of the people went over Eunuch Bai? They also quickly returned the purses. Guan Suyi was an impetuous person, too impatient to deal with this kind of scenes, and had already led the imperial physician to see the old master.

“Excessive worry and mental-knot in the heart has hurt the internal organs, and it must be carefully nurtured.” Imperial Physician Cao was the physician who looked after the emperor, his medical skills naturally outstanding. He immediately prescribed a few doses of medicine and instructed, “Simmer three bowls of water until it become a bowl of water then drink, two doses a day, and in seven days, I will come again to check the pulse and see how he recuperate.”
