To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 18 Fever

   There is a small red clay stove under the corridor, and the animal ear casserole on the stove is gurgling with medicine gas.

  Fusong held a palm fan and fanned it from time to time. He jumped up when he heard the sound and looked at it, and shouted: "The cousin girl is here!"

  The appearance of facing an enemy made people feel that it was not the cousin who came, but the monster.

  Hongdou rolled her eyes and reprimanded: "Our girl is here to see the young master, why are you so excited?"

   Fu Song really wanted to roll his eyes back, but he didn't dare, thinking that he was obviously frightened, okay?

   At this time, the old lady Sheng had already been persuaded to go back, and the eldest lady and others left one after another after guarding for a while. Only the four brothers Sheng Dalang who had just rushed over from school were there.

   Fusong's voice startled the four of them, and they all looked at the approaching girl.

  The girl is wearing a red floral dress, with dazzling eyebrows and eyes, and she comes in the sunset.

  Sheng Erlang suddenly thought of a line of poetry: Mei Dai seizes the color of daylilies, and the red skirt is jealous of pomegranate flowers.

   Then my heart froze and I shook my head again and again.

   No, no, Cousin Luo is equal to trouble, why did he think of beauty.

   Must be obsessed with ghosts!

  Sheng Erlang hurriedly corrected his attitude, and watched Luo Sheng step forward with cold eyes.

   Luo Sheng, who came over, bowed slightly and left a sentence "I'll go in and see my brother" and then floated into the room, not giving the four brothers a chance to talk.

  Sheng Erlang held the folding fan and opened his mouth.

   What's the matter with feeling a little faceless for no reason?

  Seeing Luo Sheng enter the house, Fu Song thought that he didn't even care about watching the fire about what the eldest wife explained yesterday, so he hurried in.

   At the same time, a woman who was left here by the eldest wife because of Luo Chen's serious illness left quietly immediately.

  Suddenly Fusong's voice came from the room: "Biao girl, what are you doing?"

  The shout was full of panic, causing the four of Sheng Dalang to look at each other and walk in quickly.

  In the house, Fusong looked at Luo Sheng as if facing the enemy: "My lord is still sick, so you can't eat indiscriminately!"

   "This medicine can reduce fever. Hongdou, take him away." Luo Sheng didn't want to argue with a servant, so he ordered Hongdou lightly.

   "Yes." Hongdou replied, walking towards Fusong aggressively.

  Fu Song stood in front of Luo Chen's bed, posing as a man who could not be humiliated, but when he got nervous, he stammered: "I, I would rather die than let—"

   Before he could finish speaking, Hong Dou carried him on his shoulder and threw him outside.

   Seeing this scene, the four of Sheng Dalang were dumbfounded.

  Fu Song, who didn't know where he was, never forgot the Savior: "My lord, my cousin brought me some kind of medicine, and she insisted on giving it to you."

  The four of Sheng Dalang didn't care about being in a daze, and hurried into the inner room, and saw Luo Sheng stuffing a pea-sized pill into Luo Chen's mouth.

   "Cousin!" Sheng Dalang shouted in desperation.

  Sheng Saburo rushed over to stop him, only to hear Luo Sheng calmly say, "I've already eaten it."

  Saburo Sheng: "..."

  Sheng Erlang asked with a sullen face: "How can Cousin Luo give medicine to her cousin indiscriminately?"

  Luo Sheng fed Luo Chen a few sips of water, then gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, then looked back at the four of them and explained: "This is a medicine that can reduce fever."

  A sharp voice came: "Nonsense!"

Sheng Jiayu rushed in with the wind from the soles of her feet, and the word "Luo Sheng" rushed to the tip of her tongue and was swallowed forcefully. She said with a sneer, "Grandmother invited all the famous doctors from Jinsha, but she still hasn't been able to relieve my cousin's fever. Cousin How can you randomly give him medicine when it's so dangerous?"

  Luo Sheng glanced at the eldest wife who came in later, and calmly said: "It is because the doctor is helpless that I give my brother medicine."

   "But you are not a doctor!" Sheng Jiayu said angrily.

   Luo Sheng is such a troublemaker who only adds to the chaos, how can she respect her like a cousin.

  Luo Sheng's tone was not a little smokey: "The doctor is helpless."

  This is really reasonable!

  Sheng Jiayu was too angry to speak.

  The eldest wife comforted and patted her daughter's arm, and asked Luo Sheng: "My cousin knows medical skills?"

   "I don't understand." Luo Sheng said frankly.

   "Since that's the case, even if a doctor is helpless, he is still better than an ordinary person who doesn't understand medical science. Does Miss Biao think so?"

  At this time, the two doctors who were left behind in the Sheng Mansion hurried over, and one of the thin doctors shouted, "What medicine did the patient take?"

  Sheng Jiayu pointed at Luo Sheng: "My cousin brought it, and said it is a pill that can reduce fever."

  The skinny doctor was so angry that his beard trembled, and with the benevolent attitude of the doctor, he didn't even give Sheng Mansion any face. He said angrily: "Nonsense, you need to use many methods to reduce fever. How can there be any special pills for reducing fever!"

  Doctor Wang, who came in with the skinny doctor, suddenly felt ominous when he saw Luo Sheng.

  Yesterday the cousin asked him to make some pills, no way—

  Doctor Wang was feeling anxious, so he heard Luo Sheng say, "The pills are made by Doctor Wang."

  All eyes turned to Doctor Wang.

  Doctor Wang's eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.

  The skinny doctor shook his head again and again, with a heartbroken look: "Brother Wang, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. If something happens to the patient, you have to pay full responsibility!"

   After he finished speaking, he went to check Luo Chen's situation, leaving Doctor Wang in a cold sweat.

  Hongdou curled her lips and muttered softly: "This pot is really smooth."

  She knows this routine too well, after all, girls often commit crimes.

  The skinny doctor stretched out his hand to cover Luo Chen's forehead with a sullen face, and suddenly froze.

  Seeing that his expression was different, the eldest wife hurriedly asked: "Doctor Li, what's the matter?"

  Dr. Li's medical skills are recognized as superior to Dr. Wang's. The reason why the Sheng Mansion invited Dr. Wang at the beginning is because Dr. Li went to other places for a visit and only came back this morning.

   "The fever is gone." Dr. Li said blankly.

  The eldest lady thought she heard it wrong: "What?"

  Doctor Wang dashed forward and pushed Doctor Li aside, and reached out his hand to Luo Chen's forehead, his expression kept changing and finally turned into ecstasy: "The fever is gone, it's really gone!"

  He no longer has to bear the responsibility of making counterfeit medicines!

   Dr. Li, who was squeezed aside, woke up like a dream, grabbed Dr. Wang and said excitedly: "Brother Wang, have you really developed an antipyretic prescription?"

  Dr. Wang was shaken so dizzy by Dr. Li that he was speechless for a moment.

   "Brother Wang, just now I was speechless, so don't take it to heart. I have some questions, can I ask you for advice—"

   Doctor Wang came to his senses, and quickly glanced at Luo Sheng.

   It is true that he made the antipyretic pills, but the prescription was given by the cousin girl in Shengfu!

  Luo Sheng looked calm, unmoved by the bustle in front of him.

  At this moment, Dr. Wang Fuzhi had a thought in his mind: Although I don't know where Miss Luo found the strange prescription, but for such a noble lady, maybe she doesn't care at all or doesn't know the preciousness of this prescription?

   And that prescription, he still remembers...

  Dr. Wang's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the compliments from Dr. Li who had been pressing on him for many years, a trace of greed emerged quietly.

   "Two doctors." Luo Sheng said.

   Doctor Wang and Doctor Li looked at her together.

   "The next step is to ask the two good students to take care of my younger brother."
