Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 18
A few days later, Imperial Physician Fang brought a medicine box to Yunshuiju, and as usual asked for Zhao He's pulse.

Nanny Jin served the tea herself, and Nian Xia stayed beside Zhaohe, and the two listened to the doctor Fang's diagnosis with complicated expressions.

"Everything is fine now, ma'am. I will take the previous cold-dispelling prescription for another three to five days, and the old man will re-prescribe some calming decoctions for madam."

Nanny Jin couldn't help but look at Nian Xia.

"It's hard work for the imperial physician. I also feel that my body has relaxed a lot in the past two days. I think it must be the imperial physician's prescription that has worked."

Zhaohe's face was still a little pale, but seeing that he was much more energetic, he thanked Doctor Fang with a smile.

Physician Fang ordered a few more words, bowed and retreated.

Nanny Jin personally sent him out, and just happened to meet Li Taiwei coming with Dafu.

Li Taiwei met with Imperial Physician Fang and said a few more polite words before entering Zhaohe's bedroom.

Rong Zhi just came out from behind the screen in the bedroom, and was bowing her head to feel Zhao He's pulse.

Rong Zhi carefully took the pulse for a while, then got up and thanked Zhao He again and again.

Showa smiled and said:

"It's not easy for women in Dazhou to study medicine. Although you have the suspicion of stealing your teacher, you are honest with me. If you are in Xiliang, I will make the decision for you to worship a famous doctor as your teacher, and study medicine in an upright manner. To make you feel so wronged?"

Rong Zhi was moved, and went forward to bow again.

Mrs. Li walked over with a smile, gave Rong Zhi a wink, leaned on the soft pillow and sat beside Zhao He, and said to Rong Zhi:
"It's been hard to accommodate the doctor these days. If my mother can be healthy this time, the Princess will grant you a wish. How about it?"

When Rong Zhi heard this, she suddenly raised her head, with anxiety and joy flashing in her eyes.For a moment, he lowered his head and covered it again.

"Slave... Slave... Slave dare not, being able to diagnose and treat Madam is a blessing earned by this slave."

Mrs. Li smiled but did not answer, and said after a while:

"Since I have spoken, I will do the counting. Go back and think about it, and don't be in a hurry."

Rong Zhi thanked her, and exited the yard with an uneasy expression.

After a while, Nanny Jin found a way to follow, and quietly handed the prescription in her arms to Rong Zhi, saying:

"The princess asked the old slave to send it to the medical lady to have a look. If there is a medical lady to show you, this prescription is considered appropriate. The princess will invite you to talk about it later."

Rong Zhi bowed her head in response, and secretly hid the prescription in her sleeve. After she calmed down for a while, she stepped forward.

At noon, Li Taiwei had dinner with Zhaohe in Yunshuiju, and was talking for a while, when there were footsteps outside the courtyard, it was the second lady who came.

"Are younger brothers and sisters in better health?"

Bai's face was smiling, reflecting the Guanyin mole in the middle of his eyebrows, which was very kind.

"You have been sick for the past few days, so I didn't dare to bother you. The kitchen made a few pickles today, and I saw that they were very refreshing. I thought you were recovering from a serious illness, so I brought some over to share with you as an appetizer. .”

As Bai-shi was talking, she turned around and took the food box from Nanny Qin, and put it on the small table. Nanny Qin opened the lid, and a burst of fragrance wafted out.

A plate of wild vegetables mixed with clear oil, a plate of plum pickled cabbage, a plate of cucumber with Yunsi sauce, and a small half bowl of stewed glutinous millet porridge.

Looking at the gratifying green color, people can't help but increase their appetite.

"Second sister-in-law's side dishes really make me happy."

Zhaohe hurriedly got up to meet her, and helped Mrs. Bai to sit down on the soft couch.

Li Taiwei stepped forward to salute, and called her second aunt.

"It's just... how can this make the second sister-in-law worry?"

Showa is very sorry,

"I've been sick for the past few days. My mother heard that I'm not in good health. The whole house relies on my second sister-in-law to take care of me. How dare I ask my second sister-in-law to take care of me and prepare these things for me."

"You say these are aliens from me,"

Bai said with a smile:

"Brother Rui and the others will return home tomorrow, and Yuan Zhensu will eat something light. These pickles were originally prepared early in the morning. I just brought a portion here, so how can I be troubled?"

"This porridge is just out of the pot, and it is still hot. If you have an appetite, you can eat some first. It seems that you have lost a lot in the past few days. What does the imperial doctor say?"

"I'm worried about my second sister-in-law! It's not just an old problem, it hasn't improved over the years..."

"Second Aunt, is it the elder brother and sister-in-law who are coming back?"

Li Taiwei interrupted Zhaohe's words.

Bai said with a smile:

"Yes, I sent a message yesterday."

"It was supposed to be back at the beginning of the month, but Yuanzhen caught a cold a few days ago and still had some cough, so I asked her to rest for a few days. She will stay in the mansion for a while, and it won't be too late to return when she recovers."

"Yuanzhen is really lucky to have such a caring mother-in-law like you!"

Showa praised from the heart.

Bai smiled and said a few words to Zhaohe, seemed to have remembered something, and said to Li Taiwei:
"Sister Wei, we haven't met your sister-in-law Yuanzhen yet, have we? When she comes back tomorrow, I will ask her to make up the meeting gift for you!"

Li Taiwei couldn't help thinking of what Li Pu said to her that day, the corners of her lips curled up, and said:

"I remember that my eldest cousin promised to marry me when I came back from Xiliang! Who knows that I can't wait for it in a blink of an eye, but I don't care, I have to ask my eldest cousin to give me a generous gift to make amends!"

"Okay, okay, why don't you go to Auntie's for dinner tomorrow, I will ask your brother to make a big meal for you!"

Bai Shi laughed out loud.

On Zhaohe's face, she was quite helpless, saying bluntly that she was spoiled by this girl.

The three laughed and quarreled for a while, Nian Xia stepped forward and said:
"Ma'am, Mother Tian is back."

Zhaohe hurriedly asked someone to invite Tian's mother in, Jin Nanny naturally took the food box, closed the lid, and lifted the food box into the ear room.

Qin Nanny stood behind Bai Shi, and glanced at Jin Nanny calmly.

Mother Tian came in quickly, kowtowed to Zhaohe and Baishi, turned to look at Li Taiwei with tears in her eyes, and stepped forward to salute.

Li Taiwei was Tian's grandma since childhood, needless to mention the relationship between master and servant.Mrs. Li smiled and called her mother, her eyes were a little wet, but she didn't dare to show it in front of everyone.

Seeing that Mama Tian was dusty, Zhaohe asked someone to move a low stool for her to sit down and talk.

"Is my aunt feeling better?"

Zhaohe asked in front of Bai's face.

Bai Shi shivered, and said:
"Why? My aunt is not in good health either?"

Zhaohe didn't want to hide it from her, so he told Bai Shi about the previous things one by one, and asked Bai Shi to hide it for the time being, so that the old lady couldn't let the old lady know, so as not to make Hua'an hall feel sad again.

Mrs. Bai listened carefully, sighed a few words, her complexion was not very good, she nodded her head in response.

Mother Tian sighed and replied:

"My aunt looks very haggard. Those concubines and concubines in the backyard are not easy to use. The palace is very noisy and smoky all day long."

"Last month, the prince forced another noble concubine, who was born in the Goulan courtyard! The aunt stopped me many times, but in the end she couldn't persuade the prince. Who knew that this concubine had only been in the mansion for a few days, but when the prince was out, she went out with her. The guards in the mansion had an affair, and they were arrested on the spot... The prince lost face, but he angrily scolded my aunt for her incompetence in housekeeping, and took away the power of my aunt to manage the house, and my aunt fell ill."

"You bastard! How dare the King of Fenyang!"

Showa slapped the table angrily, making a loud noise.

Jin Nao's face turned pale, and she said anxiously:
"Madam is still ill, so you can't be so angry..."

Bai's eyes flashed, and she smiled to comfort Zhaohe, telling her to rest in peace, the matter of the aunt and grandma cannot be resolved overnight.

It wasn't until the sun turned to the west that Mrs. Bai led Mother Qin to get up and say goodbye.

After leaving the Spring Garden and turning south into a corridor, Bai's footsteps slowed down.

There was no one around, Bai lowered her voice and asked with a sideways face:

"According to Mammy... does she seem to have noticed something?"

Qin Nanny's eyebrows were low, and she stopped following Bai's footsteps. After thinking carefully for a while, she said:
"It's hard to say... But logically speaking, it should be effective in these two days..."

Bai raised her head, looking at the gray and black roof of Hua'an Hall in front of her, her eyes flickered.
