Water Margin official

Chapter 178 From now on, Jia is Zhang’s wife

It rained heavily all night, and it didn't stop until the second day.

It was raining, so Zhang Zhengdao stayed at Jia's house and did not leave.

Jia's body was exposed to heavy rain at night, but she fell ill. She suffered from cold syndrome, headache and fever, and her limbs were sore and weak. She lay on the bed without eating or drinking.

Mrs. Jia was so worried that she sent the old disciple to go to the doctor in the rain.

He asked Mrs. Jia to fill a basin of cold water, and then took out a coarse cloth. Zhang Zhengdao soaked it in the water, wring it out, and put it on Mrs. Jia's forehead to help her cool down first.

Mrs. Jia looked at her daughter on the bed, feeling depressed and distressed.

Although Zhang Zhengdao was anxious, he didn't know medical skills. Apart from using a towel to cool down Jia's temperature first, he couldn't do much. He could only comfort him and said: "Auntie, don't worry too much. Wait for the doctor to prescribe a prescription and grab some."

After taking the medicine, my sister will be cured in less than two days."

Mrs. Jia shed tears and said: "I only have one daughter. If anything happens to me, how can I live?"

Zhang Zhengdao held her hand and said: "Auntie, there is no need to worry. The cold symptoms will be cured by medicine."

Mrs. Jia was still worried. She remembered that Mr. Jia was ill and passed away without any treatment. She was afraid that her daughter would follow in her father's footsteps. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Her tears fell like loose beads on Zhang Zhengdao.

on the hand.

He wanted to wipe her tears with his sleeve, but Zhang Zhengdao thought about it and gave up. Although the woman was beautiful, the officials still felt pity for her, but it was just not in line with etiquette.

"Madam, the doctor has invited us." The maid entered the house and saw Mrs. Jia holding the handsome young man who stayed at home last night, lowering her head to report.

Mrs. Jia let go of Zhang Zhengdao's hand, wiped her tears with her sleeve, calmed down her mood, and said, "Please come in quickly."

After a while, a middle-aged doctor came into the room carrying a medicine box.

Mrs. Jia was familiar with the doctor and said quickly: "Doctor Ma, please save my daughter."

Doctor Ma put down the medicine box, glanced at Jia, who was covered with a brocade quilt, and asked, "Miss, was it rained at night?"

Mrs. Jia nodded and said: "It rained last night and I was bedridden early in the morning. My body was very hot."

Doctor Ma saw the joke and said with a smile: "No need to worry, it's just a cold. I'll just write down a prescription and go to the shop to grab some medicine to take."

Mrs. Jia ordered the maid to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Doctor Ma wrote a recipe casually and handed it to Mrs. Jia.

"Let Uncle Hub get the medicine quickly." Mrs. Jia handed the prescription to the maid and told her to call Laomenzi Pharmacy.

Doctor Ma put the medicine box on his back, and Zhang Zhengdao took out some money from his purse and settled the consultation fee with him.

Looking at the strange and handsome young man in front of him, Doctor Ma asked: "Is this the new uncle in the house? He is indeed a talented person."

Mrs. Jia did not deny it. Her current focus is on her daughter Jia.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Zhengdao said, "I'll give it to Doctor Ma."

Before leaving the house, Doctor Ma said again: "My wife has had a hard time in the past two years. Now that she has a new brother-in-law in the family, it can be considered a blessing after all."

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia glared at Doctor Ma. She was about to reply when Zhang Zhengdao answered: "Doctor Ma, you have misunderstood. I am not..."

"I understand!" Doctor Ma smiled and continued: "I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

"Madam, don't worry, I won't spread the news about the new uncle in the Jia family." Doctor Ma chuckled and said, "On your lady's wedding day, don't forget to give me an invitation and come to ask for a drink.

Eat."

Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper, Zhang Zhengdao didn't care, he had this intention.

Mrs. Jia said helplessly: "The right way, why don't you send Doctor Ma to me quickly?"

After sending away the talkative Doctor Ma, Zhang Zhengdao returned to Jia's boudoir.

In normal times, Mrs. Jia would not let an ordinary man enter here, but Jia's illness was not serious, and the old lady was at a loss, so she had to find Zhang Zhengdao to come over and have a spiritual support.

"Aunt, my sister is no longer hot." Zhang Zhengdao took off the coarse cloth and touched Jia's forehead with his hand, and the high fever subsided.

Mrs. Jia also touched it and found that it was indeed not hot anymore.

Seeing that the towel was effective in cooling down, Zhang Zhengdao threw the coarse cloth into the basin, washed it, wrung it out, and placed it on Jia's forehead.

"Mom, I'm thirsty!" Jia said drowsily.

Mrs. Jia went outside to get water, leaving only Zhang Zhengdao and Mr. Jia in the room.

Zhang Zhengdao sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Jia, and asked softly: "Sister, how do you feel?"

Jia barely opened her eyes, with a look of pain on her face, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "It hurts."

"Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you?" Zhang Zhengdao blurted out, but then he realized that Meng Lang had gone too far.

"My legs hurt!" Jia didn't feel unhappy at all.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that the younger sister frowned and seemed to be really uncomfortable, so he boldly continued: "Then I will rub it for you. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your brother."

After saying that, he put a hand into the brocade quilt and touched a soft and smooth calf. The official's heart skipped a beat, and then he kneaded it gently.

A blush appeared on Mrs. Jia's face, and she closed her eyes. She recalled what happened last night in her mind, feeling extremely shy.

After kneading for a moment, footsteps sounded, and Mrs. Jia came in with a bowl. Zhang Zhengdao let go of his delicate thighs and took his hands out of the quilt.

Jia opened her eyes, as if she still had some unfinished thoughts.

Mrs. Jia held the bowl and said, "Here comes the water."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia couldn't get up, Zhang Zhengdao took off the coarse cloth from her forehead, helped her up, and sat on the head of the bed.

Mrs. Jia gave Mrs. Jia some warm water and asked, "Daughter, are you feeling better?"

Jia glanced at Zhang Zhengdao and whispered: "There is no need to worry, mother, my daughter is much better."

Zhang Zhengdao stood aside and said with a smile: "The fever is gone, it's nothing serious."

Mrs. Jia was concerned and confused. Seeing that Mrs. Jia's face was not as bleak and scary as before, she felt relieved.

"Daughter, if you are good or bad, teach your mother how to live." Mrs. Jia held onto Mr. Jia's hand and sighed bitterly.

Jia said: "If you make your mother worried, your child will be unfilial."

Zhang Zhengdao saw that Mrs. Jia was fine, and her mother and daughter seemed to have something to say, so he took the initiative to say goodbye: "Auntie, I will go back to the room first. If anything happens, you can call me."

Mrs. Jia said: "Thank you for having the right path today."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and then left.

After Mrs. Jia closed the door and saw her daughter in a daze, she sat by the bed and suddenly asked: "Daughter, what do you think of Zhengdao?"

Mrs. Jia came back to her senses. She just remembered what happened last night. She didn't know why, but she impulsively picked up the oil-paper umbrella and rushed into the heavy rain, trying to protect Zhang Zhengdao from the rain, but she caught the wind and cold.

"Mother." Mrs. Jia was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to start.

Mrs. Jia understood her daughter's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that he already has a wife at home. If you marry him and have a baby, your mother will be worried, alas..."

Mrs. Jia raised her head and summoned up the courage to say, "My daughter is willing."

Mrs. Jia was stunned. Her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, seemed to have changed a bit. When did this start?

Jia continued in a low voice: "My daughter feels that he is considerate and caring and speaks very kindly. He is not like others who have no respect for her family."

Mrs. Jia thought deeply: "If I leave Daming Mansion, I won't be reluctant to leave. It's just that... I'm just worried that he is all pretending to deceive you."

Jia sighed secretly in her heart: "Mom, I'm afraid you don't know. He touched and hugged her. Just now, those hands were..."

Mrs. Jia said: "If my mother keeps him at home for two more days, if he is really a good man, we will give up the family property and let him go, so that we can have someone to rely on in the future."

"If he is pretending, my mother will kick him out of the house and pretend that nothing happened." Mrs. Jia is a rare shrewd person.
