Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After helping the old lady get out of bed and move around that day, when Dong Jiafu came back again, she would help her down and walk around after finishing the rocking exercise.

From the small steps at the beginning, the old lady can now walk around the house with normal steps.

This time it was the eldest lady and Mother Qi who were supporting me.

"I think it won't take a few days for mother to recover." The eldest lady said happily.

The old lady has also been in a good mood these past two days, "I have been lying in bed for more than ten days, and I finally have some hope."

After returning from the walk, the eldest lady and Qi's mother helped the old lady to the bed.

The eldest lady straightened up and asked Dong Jiafu who was standing aside, "Miss Dong, is mother's condition going to be cured soon?"

Dong Jiafu nodded, "The old lady won't be unable to sleep at night because of back pain. It should be almost the same in three or four days."

"Then I will work hard for you for a few more days. When mother recovers, I will thank you generously."

"Madam has already paid the consultation fee, I can't accept the rest."

"How can the consultation fee be enough? You come here every day to diagnose and treat your mother, and we should thank you deeply."

Dong Jiafu said firmly: "This is the rule set by the master. Our medical clinic only charges consultation fees. Madam, please understand."

The eldest lady was stunned. Did she just regard them as a doctor and a patient?

A few days ago, I told Qi Yan about going to the Dong family to propose marriage. He looked lonely and just said it was too late. Now looking at Miss Dong's attitude, could there be some irreconcilable conflict between them?

The eldest lady suppressed her thoughts and said with a smile: "You will come again later, let's not talk about this for now."

The old lady's attack period was about to pass. While the eldest lady was there, Dong Jiafu thought it was time to ask them what they meant.

The.

"The old lady got through it this time, but I don't know when it will happen again in the future. The most effective way is to solve it at the root."

"We also know this, but after asking so many doctors, even the imperial doctors have nothing to do, saying that they can only keep her like this." When the eldest lady said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you have a way to completely cure my mother's waist disease? ?”

The old lady who was leaning on the bed turned around when she heard this.

"I told the master about the old lady's condition. The master said that there is a 50% chance that the old lady's waist disease can be cured using acupuncture and decoction."

"Even your master is only 50% sure?" The eldest lady was confused.

The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed, and she turned away, "That's all, I won't be able to survive for many years without struggling."

Dong Jiafu continued: "Although it may only cure half of the disease, it won't cause damage to the old lady's body if you try. The worst result is just the same as now. If the old lady doesn't want my master to treat you, Needles, if you trust me, I can come and give you acupuncture."

The eldest lady carefully considered Dong Jiafu's words and felt that this method was feasible, so she went to the bedside and persuaded: "Mother, as Miss Dong said, it won't hurt us to try. Half of the hope is better than the previous solution. It's not as strong as any other, maybe your waist problem can be completely cured, and you won't have to suffer so much every year in the future."

"Grandma, I also think we can give it a try," Cui Qiyan came in from the outside, "I know Dr. Tan, and his medical skills are very good. When I was seriously injured on an errand, he saved my life."

The old lady slowly turned her head, "You are talking about that time in Yuezhou

? ”

"Exactly, that medical clinic was opened by Dr. Tan. Later, because of some things, I invited his family to the capital. He is definitely a trustworthy person."

Seeing the hesitation on the old lady's face, Dong Jiafu picked up the medicine box and said, "This matter is not urgent. The master said that even if we want to start diagnosis and treatment, we have to wait until the old lady has passed the attack period. You still have time to think about it slowly, I will first gone back."

The eldest lady nodded and ordered the maid guarding outside the door, "Send Miss Dong out of the house."

Cui Qiyan watched Dong Jiafu leave. He came back at this time every day just to take a look at her. I didn't see her on the road today, so I guessed she was still in Shouanyuan.

The eldest lady noticed Cui Qiyan's lost eyes, and turned around and said to the old lady: "Mother, we will discuss this matter after Boqin and the others come back. You should be tired after getting out of bed and walking for a long time. You should rest first."

The eldest lady and Cui Qiyan came out of Shou'an Hall, stopped him and asked, "Tell me clearly what happened between you and Miss Dong. Why is it too late?"

Cui Qiyan didn't want to mention it again, but every time he thought of it, his heart ached again. However, at this moment, facing his mother's questioning and acting as if he must know the answer, he had to mention it again.

"She's engaged."

"Engagement?" The eldest lady could not imagine this reason. "When did she make the engagement and with whom?"

"Not long ago, I was with the son of Feng Meng, the inspector of Yingzhou."

"How could this happen..." the eldest lady murmured.

"Mother, don't mention this matter again in the future. If there is nothing else, my son will go back to Chenglin Pavilion first."

It was indeed too late. The eldest lady looked at Cui Qiyan's leaving figure with regret in her heart.

at night,

The eldest lady first told Cui Jun what happened during the day, and he ordered people to invite the other three rooms to Shou'an Courtyard.

In front of the old lady, the eldest lady told everyone what Dong Jiafu said again.

Then Cui Jun said: "What do you think about this?"

Cui Xin, the fourth master, was the first to say: "Since I have the opportunity to stop my mother's back disease, I must give it a try."

"But I'm only 50% sure. My mother has to get acupuncture and drink decoction. After all the trouble, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it mean that my mother has suffered again in vain?" The second lady raised her eyes and looked at the old lady and said quietly, "Besides, who dares to believe the words of a little-known doctor? He said it was 50%. Who knows whether it is true or not, maybe not even 20%. He is deliberately exaggerating just to make money from our family. Anyway, he said it in advance. He told us that we can’t blame him if he can’t be cured by then.”

Listening to their words, the old lady was wavering in her heart.

Cui Qiyan stood up and said: "I know Dr. Tan very well, and I can guarantee that what my second aunt is worried about is absolutely impossible. Although Dr. Tan has just arrived in the capital not long ago, his family has been practicing medicine for generations and has some reputation in Yangzhou. He will definitely I won’t talk empty words.”

Cui Xin nodded, "Qi Yan has said so, so why should there be any hesitation? Brother, what do you think?"

"I also agree to give it a try," Cui Jun asked the old lady, "Mom, what do you think?"

The old lady looked at them and made a decision for a long time.

"The disease is on my body, and I hope it can be eradicated. I have even dreamed of it. If there is a chance now, even if it is only 50%, as long as the person is reliable, I will give it a try. As for the outcome, I will leave it to God."

"

Mother, please relax and believe that Dr. Tan will do his best to diagnose and treat you. "The third lady comforted.

The old lady waved her hand, "Okay, let's settle it. Don't all hang around here. Go and do whatever you need to do."
