honey doctor

Chapter 4

As soon as the door was opened, the sweltering air mixed with the smell of medicine made Su Yuan almost breathless. When she saw the thin boy on the bed who was still covered with a thick quilt, she couldn't help frowning.

Mrs. Mou walked to the bed first, carefully helped her pale grandson, and asked softly, "Brother Kun, grandma is here, do you feel better now, are you coughing again?"

Perhaps the child didn't sleep well at night, and he was a little confused at the moment, and was suddenly awakened by his grandmother, his eyes were still a little hazy, which was very loving.

He struggled to go down to salute, but was called out by Mrs. Mou hugging her heart and soul, and finally looked eagerly at Granny Wu, "Miraculous doctor, please show this child quickly."

Granny Wu didn't say much, she stepped forward to check the child's pulse, and checked the tongue coating and the palms of the hands and feet, but she frowned, and turned around to call Su Yuan, "Girl, come and see."

Hearing this, the others didn't feel much better, but the old woman who followed said, "Our young master is precious, the genius doctor just needs to see a doctor by himself, and don't try any other messy apprentices." , if our young master feels uncomfortable, no one will be able to afford it."

Just as Su Yuan was about to step forward, he was a little embarrassed when he heard these words, but Mou Yi frowned and glanced at the old nanny, and said coldly, "Don't be rude, step back! Miss Su is also very good at medicine. "

After finishing speaking, he turned to Su Yuan again, and said softly, "Miss Su, don't blame me, please treat Brother Kun."

Seeing Mrs. Mou's expression of distrust of Su Yuan, Granny Wu couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Madam Su has studied medicine since she was a child, and she is especially good at pediatrics. There was a child dying of diarrhea before, and she only used a bowl of garlic. Juice snatched him back from the hands of Hades, and everyone in the village praised him. The young master has a high status, but he does not shy away from treating the sick. No matter how old or young, a doctor who can cure the disease is a good doctor. What do you think, old lady?"

Mrs. Mou looked a little embarrassed, she quickly nodded and smiled and said: "What the genius doctor said is, please ask the girl to use her wonderful hands to save my grandson from suffering." After finishing speaking, she was about to stand up and salute.

Su Yuan quickly waved her hands, and replied: "You are welcome, old lady, I will do my best."

After that, she walked to the bed.The child, Xu, was an old man with a white beard who usually saw doctors, but he was very surprised to see a young woman suddenly, staring wide-eyed and looking non-stop.

Su Yuan liked him for being well-behaved, but also felt sorry for him suffering from illness at a young age, so she shook his hand with a smile, and asked softly, "Young master, can I also call you Brother Kun?"

The child nodded and responded in a low voice, "Okay."

Su Yuan smiled even sweeter, and picked up the Nine Rings placed on the child's bedside and asked, "Brother Kun, do you usually play with this? I'm also an expert, and I can untie it in a quarter of an hour. "

"Really?" Brother Kun is weak, and usually lies in bed to recuperate, so the toys are also educational and effortless.

He is a smart boy, but Jiu Lianhuan still has never been untied. Hearing what Su Yuan said now, he couldn't believe it.

Su Yuan didn't respond, and his subordinates quickly disassembled the Jiulianhuan. Not only Brother Kun, but also Mou Yi had a flash of surprise in his eyes.He also disassembled it with his nephew, and it took a lot of twists and turns to succeed once, but it was so easy in Su Yuan's hands.

Su Yuan smiled and handed the Jiulianhuan back to Brother Kun, and then taught him how to do it, and finally said: "Brother Kun is so smart, he has already dismantled half of it, as long as you think about it, it will be done soon." It can all be dismantled."

Brother Kun's excited little face was covered with a rare blush, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly coughed, one after another, and soon his face turned even redder.

Su Yuan hurriedly patted him on the back, and in the end she didn't think it was dirty, and took a spittoon to see the color of the phlegm he spit out.

Brother Kun finally stopped coughing, like a deflated rubber ball, and then wilted again. Seeing that Mrs. Mou felt distressed, she couldn't help urging: "Genius doctor, do you have a proper solution? Brother Kun is coughing so badly." It's been so hard!"

Granny Wu looked at Su Yuan, Su Yuan understood, walked over and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I see Brother Kun's illness looks like pneumonia, it's a cough caused by wind and cold, and after a long cough, it hurts the lungs. Hands are hot and not sweaty." , a little short of breath, but fortunately it's not too serious, mother-in-law, what do you think?"

Granny Wu nodded and replied: "The pulse condition shows that the lung meridian is a little weak, but it fits what you said."

Su Yuan thought for a while, then turned to look at Mou Yi, "Is there someone who takes care of Brother Kun? I want to ask a few things."

Although their voices were not loud just now, the room was quiet, and everyone listened for seven or eight minutes. Immediately, a young woman aged 24 or [-] walked up to salute, and replied in a low voice: "The servant is to take care of the young master. Nanny, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Su Yuan returned a half salute with a smile, and then asked: "Brother Kun, do you often cry about being thirsty?"

"Yes, the young master always said that his mouth was dry, and he drank warm tea five times in the morning." The woman answered very carefully, for fear of missing something and delaying her illness.

"Is Brother Kun's defecation smooth? Is the urine yellow?"

The woman thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "The young master is too shy to let the slaves visit more, but the time to change clothes is much longer than usual, and the smell is also strong."

"Okay, I see, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Hearing that Su Yuan was so polite, the woman panicked and saluted again, and then retreated.

Su Yuan had a solid idea in her heart, so she asked Granny Wu, "Grandma, these symptoms are the same as pneumonia, I think ephedra soup should be effective."

Granny Wu remembered that she had written a few pages of prescriptions when she went out, so she said, "Bring me the prescriptions."

Su Yuan quickly took it out of her arms, pointed to one of them and said, "It's just that the dose of the medicine needs to be increased or decreased. Brother Kun is weak, so it's not easy to use heavy medicine."

Granny Wu pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Then reduce it by [-]%. It is better to see the effect slower than heavy medicine to hurt the body."

After the two discussed it, they asked Mou Yi for the Four Treasures of the Study.Su Yuan raised the pen and rewrote the prescription, and finally dried the ink and handed it to Mou Yi, "Grasp the medicine according to this prescription, decoct it in water, take one dose a day, divide it into three times and give it to Brother Kun after meals, about three days. It’s getting better, and we’ll adjust the prescription again at that time.”

Mou Yi glanced at the prescription, and frowned when he saw that none of the medicinal materials were very expensive.

Su Yuan understood, and explained a few more words, "Brother Mou, don't worry, it's not expensive medicinal materials that cure diseases, some common medicinal materials are actually more effective."

When Mou Yi heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he nodded in response: "What the girl said is, I will send someone to grab the medicine."

After Su Yuan decided on the prescription, she took it easy and turned her head to see Brother Kun curled up in the bed like a kitten. He was cute and pitiful, so she felt compassion and ran to chat and play with him.

Brother Kun rarely sees outsiders on weekdays, and Su Yuan is smiling and talkative. He wants to get close at a glance, and takes his own toy box to share with Su Yuan.

What Su Yuan learned in her previous life was how to coax children, and within a short time she coaxed Brother Kun into calling her a sister. One big and one small turned red ropes, stacked paper cranes, and untied chains. They had a great time, Brother Kun Cough is much lighter.

It was rare for Mrs. Mou to see her grandson look so lively, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to say. The nanny even secretly wiped her tears, but the old nanny looked very disdainful, but she didn't dare to show it easily, so she could only serve tea for a while: After beating his back for a while, he tried his best to hold on to his master.

After playing like this for less than half an hour, Mou Yi came back with a maidservant bringing the medicinal soup. Brother Kun immediately frowned when he smelled the medicine, and the joy on his face also disappeared.

Su Yuan guessed that the child must be resistant to taking medicine frequently, so he smiled and said, "Brother Kun, I have a good story to tell you here, I'll keep it for you if you haven't heard it. But, the soup is cold It's really bad, why don't you drink it while it's hot, and then let's tell a story, okay?"

Brother Kun wanted to hear the story very much, but he didn't want to take the medicine. After hesitating for a while, curiosity prevailed, and he nodded his head slightly, "Sister's story must be something I haven't heard before?"

"Of course, if you have heard it, I will punish my sister to tell you three more."

"it is good."

Brother Kun finally showed a smiling face again, took the medicine bowl and drank it clean, and the nanny at the side hurriedly put the candied fruit in the plate into his mouth to relieve the bitter taste.

Seeing Su Yuan, she said: "Brother Kun, you can't eat too salty or too sweet food at this time. If you pass it off in the future, why not replace the candied fruit with rock sugar. It tastes good without being heavy, and it also nourishes the heart."

The nanny hurriedly responded when she heard the words, and retreated with a plate of candied fruit.

Brother Kun was eagerly waiting to hear the story, and pulled Su Yuan's lapel with his little hand, urging him, "Sister, I'm done drinking the medicine."

Su Yuan was amused, so he simply hugged him in his arms, and praised: "Brother Kun is really a brave and well-behaved boy, come on, sister will tell you a story, the name of the story is The wolf is coming. By the way, a mountain village lives There is a boy named Shepherd Boy, who drives a group of goats to graze every day..."

The stories were told one after another, the child was fascinated by it, and so were the rest of the room.Mrs. Mou didn't even notice that the tea in her hand was cold. She saw her grandson leaning obediently in Su Yuan's arms with a happy expression on her face. Even though she was too sleepy to open her eyes, she was still reluctant to let go of her sleeves. Suddenly, my heart moved, if I could keep this girl in my yard, someone would take care of my weak grandson all the time.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at her son again, and saw that he was drinking tea with a calm expression, but his eyes were full of interest, obviously he was also listening to the story, it seems that he doesn't hate this girl, right?

After Su Yuan finished telling the third story, she lowered her head and saw Brother Kun's misty eyes, and gently put him on the bed.

Brother Kun immediately opened his eyes, and begged: "Sister, I don't want to sleep, tell me another story, I still want to hear it."

Su Yuan touched his forehead and felt that his temperature had dropped, so he smiled and coaxed him to persuade him: "Brother Kun, you are weak now, you need to sleep more and take medicine to recover quickly. When you wake up , you won’t have a bad cough. My sister will come to see you in a few days, and then she will not only tell you a story, but also bring you something interesting, okay?”

"Really?" Brother Kun was a little reluctant, but the power of the medicine surged, and he still couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Su Yuan tucked up the quilt for him, and then the nanny told him: "This room is too stuffy, and even a healthy person can't bear it, let alone a child. Remember to open the windows for fresh air on weekdays. As long as the cold wind doesn’t blow directly on Brother Kun, it’s fine. In addition, the tea is refreshing, and children should not drink too much. If you can find pears, slice them and boil water with Chuanbei rock sugar to quench your thirst for Brother Kun. It’s very good for the lungs benefit."

The nanny nodded repeatedly, afraid of making mistakes, she repeated it again, Su Yuan felt relieved after hearing what she had said, and signaled everyone to go out.

Mrs. Mou stepped forward to see her grandson sleeping peacefully, and the thought in her heart became more and more serious.

So when he went out, he told his son, "Today, the Mou family is very grateful for the trouble that the genius doctor came to see you. Second child, take someone to the warehouse to find some good things as a thank you gift. I'll gossip with the genius doctor first."

Mou Yi didn't feel any difference, and went to the warehouse in response.Thinking of Su Yuan begging the rabbit to feed him to death earlier, he couldn't help but almost laughed out loud. This time, he had to prepare some meat for the thank-you gift, as well as a few pieces of brocade. There is no young girl who doesn't love new clothes.

He had planned carefully, but he never thought that his old mother would make Granny Wu go crazy.

"Old madam, what are you talking about?" Granny Wu originally brought some tea to moisten her throat, but she didn't want to hear old Madam Mou's words suddenly, and the tea was spilled on her skirt in fright and she had no time to take care of it.

Mrs. Mou also felt a little abrupt, but she had already spoken, and her family was not a small family, so she raised her chin slightly and said: "The genius doctor heard right, I have taken a fancy to Miss Su's gentle temperament, and I want to accept her." She came in to be a concubine for the second child. Don't worry, our Mou family will definitely not treat her badly. The concubine paperwork will be sent to the government office, and another 200 taels of silver will be given as a dowry gift. If you are old and have nothing to depend on, you can also Enter our Mou family to support him."

"No, there is no need to mention this matter again!"

She thought that Granny Wu would immediately agree to such a generous condition, but she didn't expect that Granny Wu's face was as black as ink, and she raised her hand and threw the teacup on the table, annoyed: "Madam Su won't allow anyone else for the rest of her life, and she won't be with you." I want someone to be a concubine, so the old lady should choose someone else. There are still chores at home, so please leave!"

After all, she pulled Su Yuan, who was still a little dazed, and walked out the door.

Mrs. Mou came from a famous family and married into the Mou family. Her husband had only one concubine, and he died after giving birth to a concubine.The Mou family holds the title of earl, even though the eldest son, daughter-in-law and the old man died early, at least the second son is still serving as the commander of the guards in the palace, and no one in the entire capital has ever spoken to her loudly.

She didn't want to be so humiliated by an old country woman today. She was annoyed no matter how kind she was, and asked loudly: "Grandma Wu feels that the dowry is low, so you can just ask. Our Mou family has an earl. Er'er also has a third-rank official title, and she has accepted Miss Su as a concubine, and she will never be wronged, so what is your dissatisfaction?"

Granny Wu heard the words, she didn't care about stepping in and out of the door, and said coldly, "The old lady said earlier that Miss Su is cute, and she can't wait to be her own daughter. How can there be a mother in the world who is willing to sell her daughter to someone else to be a concubine?" , even if the family is high and dignified, but we can't afford it, let's say goodbye!"

While talking, she never stopped, pulled Su Yuan away and disappeared.

The coachman, who was waiting outside the second gate, jumped off the shaft as soon as he saw the two coming out, and wanted to go forward to greet them, but he was a little surprised when he saw that there was no owner following him. After such a hesitation, Granny Wu had already brought Su Yuan out. He walked through the gate, turned three times and turned two times to the main street.

Su Yuan was a little out of breath when she walked in a hurry, so she helped Granny Wu to sit on the bluestone by the street for a rest, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Grandma, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Don't go, don't you want to stay in the Mou family as a concubine?" Granny Wu stared, feeling very annoyed.Even though the Mou family treated them politely, they were still extremely arrogant in their core.

Regarding relatives avoiding children, even poor and stupid people know this truth, but the Mou family proposed to take concubines in front of Su Yuan. Immediately rejoicing and leaving the girl behind, it is really hateful.

Su Yuan doesn't understand the rules of time and space very well. After all, it is common for men and women in modern times to drink tea and go on a blind date to discuss their respective properties. In her opinion, Mrs. Mou's behavior is not out of the ordinary, but seeing Granny Wu angry, she still couldn't help it. Live warmly, Granny Wu really loves her, so she can't bear to let her suffer a little bit of grievance.

"What did the mother-in-law say? I don't want to be a concubine for others. I just want to live a good life, but why go to be bullied by others. I watch when they eat, fan when they sleep, and stand when they sit. How can that be done? I'm lazy, how could I do such a stupid thing. "

Granny Wu originally thought that Su Yuan would say something like a couple for a lifetime. After all, the young girl's family doesn't have some good imaginations about her future husband. She didn't expect to hear all the talk about eating, drinking, and being lazy. She was really annoyed, laughing No, I could only poke Su Yuan hard on the forehead, "You girl, you really..."

"Hey," Su Yuan smirked, and continued to act coquettishly, "My mother-in-law is enough. I finally went to the city today, and my mother-in-law will show me the excitement, okay?"

"There's a lot of work at home, and you have to go up the mountain when the weather is good. You just want to play all day long." Granny Wu stared and spoke fiercely, but after she got up, she led Su Yuan into the street, "Go to the butcher shop to buy something." A piece of meat, and there is no oil to stew at home."

"Oh, mother-in-law is the best!" Su Yuan smiled happily, hugged Granny Wu's arm and jumped forward, causing passers-by to stare, and naturally she was reprimanded by Granny Wu again.

In the Mou family's mansion, Mou Yi prepared a thank you gift, but when he returned to the flower hall, he did not see Granny Wu and Su Yuan, so he asked, "Mother, what's wrong with Brother Kun? Where are Granny Wu's grandparents?"

Mrs. Mou looked a little displeased, she held the tea and didn't speak, but the old mother took up the grievance for the master.

"Second Master, you don't know, that old country woman just dropped our tea bowl and left with her precious granddaughter."

"Gone? What's the matter?" Mou Yi frowned, with a rare look of annoyance on his gentle face.

Naturally, the old mother would not let this opportunity go, she recounted what happened just now, and finally pouted: "They don't even look at who they are, but they are just mountain women, and I will do it for you in the mansion. The concubine is really condescending, and they still put on airs, it's really abominable. Not to mention how many ladies outside want to marry into the mansion, even the maids and maids in the mansion, who is not looking forward to serving you on the pillow mat..."

But Mou Yi's face became darker the more he listened, and angrily scolded: "Shut up!"

The old mama was taken aback, but she didn't dare to offend the master, so she hurriedly retreated aggrieved.

Mou Yi turned to his mother, really wanted to complain, but he didn't want to say much, he just said: "Even if mother has a crush on Miss Su, she should discuss it with Granny Wu in private, how can I mention it in front of her? No. Besides, Brother Kun still expects them to diagnose and treat..."

Mrs. Mou felt a little regretful at the moment, and she sighed even more when she heard her son say this, "I also saw that Brother Kun liked that girl, and I was impatient for a while, so I didn't expect that old lady to be so violent."

"Anyway, it's our disrespect. I'll go out and look for someone and send a thank you gift. The doctors are parents, and I believe they won't delay Brother Kun's diagnosis and treatment because of what happened just now."

After finishing speaking, he got up and hurried out. The little steward who had been waiting outside the door ran to find the coachman, carried the prepared thank you gift into the carriage, and left the house again.

Granny Wu and Su Yuan strolled around the market for a while, carrying a piece of freshly cut pork and a box of embroidery thread on their way home.At noon in spring, although it was not as hot as in summer, it was still a bit uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for a long time. The old and the young found a big tree to take a rest in the shade, and when they were about to go on the road again, Mou Yi chased after them.

Granny Wu snorted coldly, turned her head and refused to pay attention.

But Su Yuan didn't take the matter of just now to heart, and was always grateful for Mou Yi's help that day, so he walked up to salute and smiled: "Brother Mou, we just had something to do at home, and we left in a hurry, and we didn't say goodbye to you, please. Don't blame me."

Mou Yi originally thought that Su Yuan would avoid seeing her. After all, a girl's family was proposed to be a concubine face to face, how could she not be ashamed?Unexpectedly, Su Yuan was so magnanimous, and he was ashamed to speak frankly with him first, so he hurriedly saluted.

"Miss Su is being polite. What happened just now was caused by Jiaci's confusion. Please don't blame me. The weather is hot and the journey is far away. Why don't you let me give you a ride?"

Su Yuan turned around and saw that Granny Wu didn't intend to refuse even though her complexion was not good, so she smiled and said, "That's great, let's not hide it from Brother Mou, I have been worrying about how to go back. Brother Mou will give me a ride , I don’t have to be sunburnt.”

What she said was interesting, not only Mou Yi smiled, even Granny Wu couldn't hold back her face, and gave her a smile.

The three got into the carriage again, and the carriage rattled along the mountain road.

There are boxes and baskets full of thank you gifts in the middle of the carriage, and they are a little precarious when walking.Mou Yi was careful, afraid of hitting Su Yuan who was sitting beside him, he stretched out his hand and moved the basket to his side, completely ignoring whether the basket would scratch his brocade gown.

Grandma Wu lowered her eyes halfway, as if she was dozing off, but actually she saw all this, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It stands to reason that the second master of the Mou family is a first-class good man in terms of character and appearance, and it is a good fortune for any girl to marry him. Unfortunately, the Mou family is too high-ranking, and they are too small to be able to afford it, otherwise Mrs. Mou didn't know how to ask Su Yuan to be a concubine.

Su Yuan didn't know that Granny Wu had secretly considered Mou Yi as her grandson-in-law. She thought of Brother Kun's frail appearance, so she pulled Mou Yi and started talking again.

"Brother Mou, I just saw that although Brother Kun has some weak diseases in the womb, it is not serious. On the contrary, he always lies in bed on weekdays. Even healthy people will gradually become weak. When the weather improves, It is better to let him walk in the yard more, and slowly exercise his physique. For example, after he recovers from his cough, he should walk around the house a few times. After he is tired, his appetite will increase, and then he will move to the yard. Running and jumping is too vigorous. , let him kick the shuttlecock first, and then change to cuju after he gets stronger, and he will get better step by step. Even if he can't practice martial arts in the future, or his physical strength is not as good as ordinary people, he will always be much better than now."

Mou Yi heard her speak carefully and earnestly, he really didn't seem to have any resentment for the previous matter, and he couldn't help feeling grateful again in his heart.Even though there are different girls from each family in Kyoto, gentle and beautiful, pretty and pungent, arrogant and domineering, but this is the first time I have met someone as pure and kind as Su Yuan. She is like a lake, soft and clear No wonder even my shy nephew likes to get close to her.

"Thank you Miss Su for reminding me that I will definitely take care of Brother Kun in accordance with the girl's method when I go back next time."

Seeing Mou Yi's solemnity, Su Yuan felt a little sorry, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Mou, you are welcome. I used to get along with children a lot in my hometown, and Brother Kun was a pain in the ass, so I just want to say a few more words. If there's something wrong, you don't mind."

"No," Mou Yi smiled slightly, his eyes overflowing with warmth, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said sincerely: "It's Brother Kun's blessing to meet such a kind doctor like Miss Su."

Being praised by such a handsome man, Su Yuan couldn't help but blush, and was about to say something more, when the servant outside the car stopped the car and reported loudly, "Second Master, we're here."

Mou Yi looked at Su Yuan who turned his head to help Granny Wu, and slightly pursed the corners of his lips. Sanli Village is really too close to the county seat...

Two servants helped to move Xie Li into Wu's house. Granny Wu glanced at it and felt that it was very generous, but she didn't refuse. She just thanked him lightly, "Master Mou bothered."

Mou Yi hurriedly saluted, "It's right to trouble my mother-in-law to make a doctor visit. In addition, I'm working on the household registration of Miss Su, so mother-in-law doesn't have to worry."

Granny Wu nodded, and pulled Su Yuan into the house, who was about to say goodbye to Mou Yi, "What are you doing standing at the door, waiting for someone to buy you to be a concubine?"

Mou Yi heard that Granny Wu was still annoyed about taking a concubine, and rubbed her nose in embarrassment, but Su Yuan made a face at him while entering the door. In her opinion, this matter was all Madam Mou's idea , Mou Yi was simply suffering from boredom.

Sure enough, seeing her strange appearance, Mou Yi couldn't help laughing, and nodded slightly.
