White Hedge Dream

Chapter 82 Take action

"Will she still see a doctor?"

Listening to the news sent by the maid, Mrs. Xue, who was leaning on the Arhat bed, curled her lips.

"Who did Zhou Jingyun marry? He is a lecturer and a doctor. He really comes from a scholar's family, not the kind of family with three aunts and six wives, right?"

In the folk, women who know medical skills are generally stable women. The three aunts and the six women specialize in going to the inner house to treat some women's diseases, but they are not allowed to go to the stage.

The servant woman did not follow up with a few words of teasing, and said: "Originally, everyone was doubtful. The second lady said that she knew that the young lady cared about her aunt, but caring was confusing, so she should be cautious. But the young lady said that Doctor Zhang had seen her medical skills and could testify. ”

The ancestors of Zhang Shilin's Xinglin family also worked as imperial doctors, but the descendants did not like the official career and palace, so they opened their own medicine shops and practiced medicine among the people. Therefore, they were no less famous doctors than the imperial doctors in the capital.

Mrs. Xue often used Zhang Shilin for medical treatment, and she was very convinced.

Mrs. Xue asked in surprise: "What did Doctor Zhang say?"

The servant woman said: "Doctor Zhang nodded and testified."

Mrs. Xue was surprised for a moment, then curled her lips and said nothing.

The maid asked carefully from the side: "Old madam, would you like to go over and have a look..."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Xue is angry because of the second young master's marriage. If she wakes up and says something unpleasant, Mrs. Dongyanghou will not let it go, not to mention that the Dongyanghou Crown Prince is here now.

"What am I afraid of? I am the elder, her mother-in-law, and this is my grandson's marriage. As a foreigner, what qualifications does she have to interfere!" Mrs. Xue sighed, "Don't be unreasonable with me and just ask questions. "Have you treated her badly with food and drink at home? I'm not afraid of having people from all over the capital come to see her. What about the Marquis of Dongyang? I'm not afraid of going to court before His Majesty."

The servant girl straightened her back and said, "Yes, they are the prince's palace, we are the princess's family, and you are still His Majesty's elder."

Mrs. Xue snorted and lay down: "Don't threaten me with death. I'm not in good health either." She said, pressing her head and saying, "Go, ask Dr. Wu to check my pulse. I'm dizzy and in the chest." pain."

Mrs. Xue called Dr. Wu away, but Mrs. Dongyang Hou ignored it. Now she only looked at Zhuang Li, who was sitting by the bed and diagnosing Mrs. Xue's pulse, with suspicion, expectation and confusion.

She really didn't believe in Zhuang Li's medical skills, but now even the imperial doctor and Doctor Zhang couldn't come up with a good solution, so she could only seek medical treatment in an emergency.

Zhuang Li checked her pulse quietly for a moment, then leaned over to look at Mrs. Xue's face, and reached out to gently touch her hair, eyes and ears.

There was silence in the room, and everyone stared at her movements curiously, until Zhuang Li took back his hand and stood up straight.

"How is it?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou asked hoarsely, "What medicine should I use?"

Zhuang Li seemed to think for a moment and said, "Just use Dr. Zhang's medicine."

So it’s like watching for nothing…

Mrs. Dongyanghou fell back and sat down.

"However, I have a scent that can be used as a medicine." Zhuang Li continued, "It may be effective."

It's just a scent and a medicine. Mrs. Dongyang Hou didn't say anything and looked dejected.

Zhou Jingyun nodded and said hello: "What kind of fragrance? I'll buy it."

Zhuang Li said: "I made it myself and asked Chunyue to go back and get it."

Zhou Jingyun nodded and told Chun Yue to go. Seeing Chun Yue about to leave, Zhuang Li said again: "Bring the chrysanthemum too."

Chunyue was stunned for a moment to understand what it meant, and walked away quickly in response.

The carriage of Dongyanghou Mansion sped away, and the people gathered on the street pointed and talked. The movement of Mrs. Dongyanghou when she got out of the car attracted many people to watch, and the news spread.

Fourth Young Master Xue, who was hiding at the corner door, watched this scene and signaled to the young man.

The boy flinched a little and said in a low voice: "Sir, it's not a good time to go and play on the boat."

Fourth Young Master Xue glared: "Only those who are in a mess at home can come out at this time -" After saying that, he coughed lightly, "I mean, the house is in a mess, my aunt is not good, Mrs. Dongyang Hou is angry, and she has a quarrel with my grandmother, what should I do? ? Help grandma or protect the prince?"

His grandmother was his relative, Zhou Jingyun was someone he respected, and he didn't want to offend anyone.

"So, out of sight, out of mind, we stay away and come back when the matter is over."

The boy was still hesitant and was kicked by Fourth Master Xue.

"If you don't want to go, don't follow me."

After that, he ran towards the street. The boy didn't dare to let him slip out by himself, so he chased after him.

…

…

As night fell, Mrs. Xue's house became quiet.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou stopped scolding her and just sat by the bed and watched blankly. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Mr. Xue has already gone to the front yard, and Mrs. Xue Er was also called away by Mrs. Xue.

Although Mrs. Xue's biological children, daughter-in-law and concubines had to stay guard, they were persuaded to leave by Zhou Jingyun.

"Everyone takes turns," he said. "My sister-in-law and I will watch the first half of the night, and you will take over in the second half of the night."

The children of Dafang have never had a backbone, and they usually listen to Mrs. Xue's arrangements. Mrs. Xue excuses herself because she is ill, so they listen to Zhou Jingyun and disperse after hearing the words.

Zhou Jingyun arranged for Mother Xu and Mother Huang to keep an eye on the maids, tea, supper, wake-up calls, etc. Then he walked into the room and saw Zhuang Li feeding Mrs. Xue medicine.

Zhang Shilin looked on.

"The young lady is very skillful in feeding medicine." He also joked.

Zhuang Li said, "I have served Mr. Zhuang in taking medicine for many years." He added, "Mr. Zhuang's medicine is all prepared by Mrs. Zhuang."

She just mentioned that she would study medicine with Mrs. Zhuang.

Zhang Shilin couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhuang's illness..."

"He was not cured and passed away." Zhuang Li said.

Zhang Shilin thought that he shouldn't ask this.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou held Mrs. Xue's hand and was in a daze, unaware of the outside world.

"Doctor Zhang, please go and rest." Zhou Jingyun said, "We will keep an eye on my aunt tonight."

Mrs. Xue's illness will not improve for a while. She has already done her best. Whether she can wake up depends on fate. Zhang Shilin did not stay polite and went to rest.

After Zhuang Li gave the medicine, he called the maids in to clean Mrs. Xue, and he and Zhou Jingyun went out.

"You've been busy for a long time, sit down and take a rest." Zhuang Li said.

Zhou Jingyun nodded and sat down, watching Zhuang Li sitting opposite and taking out a piece of incense from the box on the table.

Chunyue was very considerate and even brought the Boshan stove she often used.

Zhou Jingyun is also familiar with this incense burner. It seems to be commonly used. However, recalling that there was no fragrance in the house every day, he didn't care or ask about it before. This time he couldn't help but ask: "Is it a medicinal incense?"

"Yes and no, Mrs. Zhuang made this recipe. I can't sleep well, so I use it to refresh my mind." Zhuang Li said.

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "In that moment, mother can sleep better here." His eyes fell on the earthenware vase on the table, with a chrysanthemum in it. Under the night lamp, it was particularly bright and fresh.

"This is the chrysanthemum that my aunt gave me earlier." Zhuang Li said, "I made a dried flower, just like..."

She said and looked at Zhou Jingyun.

"The lotus bud from before."

Zhou Jingyun said oh, and Zhuang Li seemed to be examining him under the lamp, as if he was curious about his reaction. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, that lotus bud.

It was given to Lu Jin, which first caused some strange rumors in the Lu family. Later, it was given to Li Shilang by Lu Wenjie. Then Li Shilang died, and Mrs. Ding Anbo came to make a big fuss about the lotus bud in the Hou Mansion. ah.

At this time, another dried flower like this was placed in the room of Mrs. Xue, who was ill...

"I believe that my aunt is blessed with good fortune." Zhou Jingyun said, looking at the fresh chrysanthemums, "I will definitely be able to turn disaster into good luck like the little maid in Ding'an Bo Mansion."

The smile in Zhuang Li's eyes spread: "Heaven has no relatives and always associates with good people. My aunt will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."

…

….

The night is quieter.

The maids and maids set up a small bed next to Mrs. Xue's bed.

"I know my mother can't sleep well anywhere else, so just lie down next to my aunt." Zhou Jingyun persuaded, "My aunt is relying on you now, so you can't bear it."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou nodded and was helped by Xu's mother to stand up: "I know." Looking at him again, "You also need to rest well."

He said and looked outside.

Zhou Jingyun said hurriedly: "Li Niang is recovering from her illness. She insisted on coming with me. I asked her to go back and rest, but she refused to leave. Now she is invited by Seventh Sister to leave and rest in her yard."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou thought to herself, if she is not here, then she is not here. After all, she is a daughter-in-law, not a biological daughter. She can't count on her nice words.

She held Zhou Jingyun's arm and warned him.

"Get some rest, your aunt and I will still be counting on you in the end."
