Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 17 Traditional Chinese Medicine

Two days after Christmas, people from the Qing Dynasty arrived in London. Mr. Brown only said that they were talents and his family members, but he did not specify the number of people. Serena and Mr. Jin also forgot to ask. When they really arrived in London, Jin Mr. and Serena were dumbfounded. Mr. King’s house in London is actually not small, but it can’t accommodate nearly a hundred people at once. Fortunately, Longborn’s house occupies a large area, which should be enough, so Sei Rui Na and Mr. Jin hurriedly left London and took the Qing Dynasty people to Longbourn. Mr. Jin asked the housekeeper and Mrs. Sharon to make arrangements first, and Serena, Mr. Jin and the Qing Dynasty people arrived later.

Because she left in a hurry, Serena only had time to send a letter to Georgiana and Lilia stating that she had returned to Longborn beforehand, and the meeting in London had to go to nothing, and she felt very sorry.It was a pity that the three friends did not see each other in London, but Georgiana and Lilia visited each other a few times, chatting and saying that Serena always misses the days when they saw each other every day at school.

The housekeeper and Mrs. Sharron are both very capable. They quickly prepared the residences for nearly a hundred people, and first settled down the people of the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, the people of the Qing Dynasty have learned English for more than half a year on board, and their oral communication is stumbling, but it basically does not hinder communication. , and Mr. Brown left a few translators to help, and soon the basic situation of the people in the Qing Dynasty was collected in the hands of Serena and Mr. Jin.Serena's first concern was naturally the two Chinese medicine practitioners and apprentices. There were 4 people including them and their family members, two middle-aged people and two young people.The master and his wife in Chinese medicine, the apprentice and his wife in Chinese medicine.

Serena went to visit the family of Chinese medicine practitioners first. They were arranged in a house where many people live. Generally, a family has one room, and all the rooms are full. There are obviously many people living in the house, but it is very quiet.

Serena walked into the living room. There were only two Chinese doctors and the translator left by Mr. Brown. The two sides first greeted each other in English. The two doctors were named Fang and Zhou, and both sides had a preliminary impression.It can be seen that no matter they are old or young, the two doctors are gentle and polite people with clear eyes. Serena was initially satisfied with the two people's introduction, so she began to communicate with them in Chinese. She hadn't used Chinese to communicate for a long time, and Serena's speech was a bit stumbling, but it was at the beginning, and then it became fluent.It was the stumbling Chinese that surprised Dr. Fang and Dr. Zhou, as well as the translator.

Serena has also considered whether to reveal that she can speak Chinese, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but she cannot communicate with the doctor in a timely manner, and all inquiries must be made through other people. This kind of misunderstanding is not acceptable to Serena , so Serena did not cover up, and started communicating with the doctor directly in Chinese. Of course, this does not mean that the translation can be returned to Mr. Brown. The housekeeper and Mrs. Sharron are in great need of translation, so Serena assigned the translator to those who needed it. their people.

Serena asked about their situation in the Qing Dynasty. Although Serena already knew about it, she could get a lot of information that was not available in the materials by listening to the parties in person. The two doctors can be seen from what they said about the Qing Dynasty. They love their country very much and do not want to leave, so when they said they had to leave, there was sigh and helplessness, but overall the tone was calm, which showed that they had accepted the fact that they were far away from home. Adapt to the UK well and start a new life.Satisfied, Serena and the two agreed to take the pulse of Mr. Jin tomorrow, and make a maintenance plan according to the pulse. I heard that the wives of the two doctors are good at medicinal food. Serena was very pleasantly surprised. A lady, a very typical woman from a good family, gentle and virtuous, a bit haggard after leaving her homeland, Serena greeted the two of them, comforted them a few words and left.

When Serena returned home, Mr. Jin was waiting for her in the study.

"Serina, how are your talents?" Mr. Jin teased his granddaughter.

"The housekeeper and Mrs. Sharon are very capable. They have been settled well. I only saw two Chinese doctors and their wives. They are all good people. Mr. Jin, your doctor will come tomorrow morning." Serena Joking back.

"It's not in vain for us Serena to be busy, isn't it?"

Looking at the smiling grandfather, Serena said sweetly: "It's worth working hard for my grandfather. Grandfather, you will definitely cooperate with me for the sake of running around, right?"

Mr. Jin smiled even wider: "Yes, even for Serena's sake, I will obey the doctor's orders."

After coaxing her grandfather, Serena went back to her study and called the housekeeper and Mrs. Sharron to discuss the arrangement of the personnel. After all, this arrangement is a stopgap measure. It works, but now the language barrier is a big problem.It would take a lot of time and energy for them to learn English first, check their character by the way, and then arrange jobs. Serena felt that her thinking was too simple, but she always had to solve it when things came to an end.

For the next month, Serena will accompany her grandfather to see Chinese medicine and act as an interpreter herself; she will discuss with Mrs. Sharon the housekeeper about the basic necessities of the people in the Qing Dynasty; she will communicate with the housekeeper about business transactions and make decisions on various matters.I was so busy that I took the time to write letters to my friends. The letters were full of complaints, but the two friends were gloating, which made Serena even more resentful.

Serena handed over many housekeeping tasks to Charlotte and asked her to cooperate with Mrs. Sharron, but this did not make Serena feel at ease. Mr. Jin taught her more and more business dealings, The treatment of Mr. Jin's legs and feet is a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy. He often needs to take medicinal baths and massages. He has almost no time to deal with it. Serena, who is Miss Jin, has to take over. In the busy schedule, Serena has a very fulfilling life.

Mr. Jin's legs and feet can already walk normally, but he needs to pay attention to rest and long-term conditioning Controlled, more and more Qing Dynasty delicacies appeared on the dining table, the embroidery on the clothes of Serena and Mr. Jin became more diverse, and beautiful oriental embroidery appeared...

Serena's busyness made her and her grandfather's life more comfortable, and Serena felt that this was the best reward for her hard work.

It had been two years since my grandfather had a birthday, and he asked Serena what kind of birthday she wanted.Serena didn't have a big celebration, a big party, or even a birthday cake to share with a lot of people.Serena and Mr. Jin were just two people. In the empty hall where the family portraits of the Jin family were hung, they shared a birthday cake for Serena's 17th birthday.I always miss my relatives when I am alone on my birthday.
