The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 218

"Quan Ziyin is indeed a promising young man." After a long while, he sighed dejectedly, closed his eyes and meditated again, without speaking for a while.

Seventh Lady was not too anxious either, she sat at the table and waited patiently for Mr. Zhong's reply.

Li Xia got in at the door of the house, she walked into the house in short steps, and whispered a few words in Seventh Lady's ear. "...Shiquan Dabu Soup...the maidservants of the Young Madam in front..."

At the end, the voice was not suppressed, and it was amplified to a normal volume, "It's all locked in the yard, waiting for you—"

Mr. Zhong suddenly raised his head with a startled expression.

Qin Niangzi patted Li Xia lightly, reproached, "Don't disturb the doctor to prescribe the prescription."

She smiled apologetically at Mr. Zhong again, "Xiaoqi, excuse me for a moment—Shangyuan, come over and wait for Mr. to smoke a bag of cigarettes."

So he led Lixia into the West Sanjian, and closed the door again.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Xia covered her mouth and laughed. "I don't know if this trick will work or not."

Qin Niangzi was confident, "Don't worry, unless Mr. Zhong doesn't know anything, but if he knows anything, he will tell it right now."

As far as she knew, Mrs. Xu never interrogated Mr. Zhong because she was afraid of making her family scandal public when she tried the case.Of course, as Mr. Zhong, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Xu to lock him in the woodshed and torture him to extract a confession.

At that time, Mrs. Wu was still the head of Xu's family, and Mrs. Xu Fengjia was working in Guangzhou. I'm afraid Mr. Zhong just wanted to talk about many things, and he couldn't open his mouth because he was concerned about the dark and unclear situation of Xu's family.

Now it is different, Xu Fengjia has returned to the capital, and she is becoming more and more respectable by the emperor's side, the seventh lady holds the power in the mansion, the pride of the sixth room, every time Mr. Zhong comes to Fumai, he can see get.As for Seventh Lady's determination to investigate Fifth Lady's case, it's impossible for Mr. Zhong to be unaware...

If he knows something, now is the perfect time to ask.Otherwise, when Mrs. Qin found out about him, it would be very boring and even more suspicious for Mr. Zhong to say it at that time.

With Mr. Zhong's old way of dealing with powerful people for so many years, he would not be able to figure out the twists and turns in it.

Seventh Lady rested in Xisan Room for a while, then went into Xici Room again, and apologized to Mr. Zhong, "Don't blame me, doctor. During the New Year's Eve, there are a lot of things at home. It's not like before when you don't care about things. You can hide and relax. gone."

Mr. Zhong just finished smoking a bag of hookah. He put on a smiling face, waved his hands, and blew out another smoke ring. For a while, the whole body was surrounded by smoke, which really made him feel a bit fairy-tale. "Where is it, it's better for the young lady to be busy."

Mr. Zhong's words are very meaningful.

Seventh Lady also looked at Mr. Zhong and smiled, and said softly, "The biggest regret of Fifth Sister back then was that she didn't take over the housework and honor her parents. Now that Xiaoqi has taken over the mess at home, she has no choice but to concentrate on doing it. gone."

When mentioning Wu Niangzi, she naturally showed a little nostalgia.

"Young Madam and sisters are so affectionate, it's really admirable." Mr. Zhong twisted his beard and narrowed his eyes. "You don't have to worry too much about giving birth. Just take these few prescriptions first, as long as you take care of yourself, what should come will always come..."

He paused, and then said, "To be honest, the old man has limited time on the pulse, but I don't know how Zi Yin found out the four words that are not easy to give birth from the pulse of the young lady. I am really ashamed Very, but according to common sense, your physique was originally cold, but now you are gradually recovering, as long as you don't use too much scheming, you don't have to worry too much about this kind of thing. If you still don't feel at ease, wait for Quan Ziyin to return to Beijing, and then Asking him for advice is more appropriate than asking the old man."

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, Mr. Zhong can so frankly admit that he is not as good as Quan Zhongbai, it is considered a magnanimous mind.

Qin Niangzi said a few polite words with a smile, and then smiled and ordered Shangyuan to bring new tea, which meant seeing off the guests.

"Mister, seeing the world has been bothered by us all year round, I feel really sorry to say it..." Seventh Lady said while winking at Shang Yuan, Shang Yuan hurriedly opened the cabinet, took out a gift list, and handed it to Seventh Lady. "It's a little thought, sir, don't be polite to me."

Every festival, the Xu family will naturally settle the annual consultation fee with Mr. Zhong. Sent.It stands to reason that Mr. Zhong doesn't need to return anything, he just goes in and out, which is the rule of doctors.

Mr. Zhong took the gift list calmly, put it in his sleeve without looking at it, looked at Shang Yuan with his eyes, and twirled his beard again.

"I heard the maidservant mention the matter about the young lady earlier..."

Qin Niangzi's expression changed suddenly, she winked at Shang Yuan, and Shang Yuan quietly exited the room.

"Speaking of which, it's not that I don't want to ask Mr. Zhong—" She said while closely observing Mr. Zhong's expression.

Mr. Zhong smiled slightly. "Young Madam is a smart person. Even if this old man wants to say something, he has to look for someone before speaking, right?"

The eyes of the two people met, and they both showed a little bit of understanding: Mr. Zhong will only tell what is in his heart when Qin Niangzi is firmly seated as the mistress.Or to put it another way, if Mr. Zhong is willing to expose the doubts about this matter, he can already be regarded as a righteous man.

Qin Niangzi said without hesitation, "Mr. Qi is well aware of Mr.'s difficulties. If there is anything I can teach you—"

Only then did Mr. Zhong let out a sigh of relief, and put on a nostalgic tone.

"At that time, the second day after the young lady gave birth, the old man entered the delivery room to feel the pulse of the young lady and prescribe a prescription. Because the young lady has a good foundation, but during the year in Xu's family, she also developed some symptoms, especially when she was overworked during pregnancy. If it’s not easy to take care of yourself during the confinement period, it’s easy to get sick.”

A little regret suddenly appeared on Mr. Zhong's face.

"I'm not afraid of the young lady's jokes. I'm a loner. I only have a few incompetent apprentices to take care of me in my life, but I usually like those energetic and innocent young people the most. When I helped the young lady's pulse in the past year, I saw the young lady talking and laughing. Wuji has a straightforward personality, and the two have more or less formed a friendship. When the old man prescribed the prescription, he told the young lady to take the medicine according to the prescription and never be lazy. After going back and forth, the two chatted. Young lady His face was radiant, he picked up the prescription and read it again, and asked the old man again, "I heard that after giving birth, I have to eat Yongquan powder in order to pass the blood and give milk. I still want to breastfeed the child for a few days, but the milk just won't come out. What is the old man doing?" Don’t give me this medicine to eat’?”

"When the old man heard this, he was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly told the young lady that with her constitution, if Yongquan Powder is taken, Wang Buliuxing will take effect, and it is very likely that postpartum hemorrhage will occur. And it should be a medicinal material with the effect of ventilating and promoting blood circulation. For example, things like saffron and buliuxing must be extremely careful, not even for external use.” Mr. Zhong paused suddenly, and a look of regret flashed across his face, “At that time When I opened my mouth, I didn't think too much about it, I only thought about being a young wife and giving birth to a pair of twin boys, I'm afraid the mansion..."

He paused, and seeing that Seventh Lady had already shown signs of enlightenment, he skipped this topic and continued on. "However, after the words were spoken, the old man already regretted that the delivery room could not open the windows, and it would inevitably be stuffy. In order to let out the smell of blood, the door was not closed, but the curtain was set up to block the wind. If these words are heard by outsiders, spread the word , On the contrary, it may be detrimental to Mrs. Xiantou. However, seeing Mrs. Xiantou's confidence and high spirits, the old man feels that it is nothing but worrying."

"It's just that when I was going out, the old man ran into a few people head-on, and within two or three days after the incident, something like that happened. Although he wanted to do his best for the young lady, but his words were not corroborated, and he couldn't bear to chew. The person in charge of the house is... I have to bury these words deeply in my heart. Now that the young lady is willing to investigate the truth secretly, the old man will—” Mr. Zhong felt ashamed again, “It’s really embarrassing to say that, as a doctor, he has no medical ethics , actually buried this matter for two or three years—"

Seventh Lady hurriedly stood up and bowed solemnly to Mr. Zhong. "Your concerns, Xiaoqi will never fail to understand. Being able to reveal this matter this time is already a great virtue."

She bowed firmly and thanked Mr. Zhong before returning to her seat to ask questions. "Excuse me, sir, do you still remember who were the people outside the door at that time?"

Mr. Zhong pondered for a while, then sighed, "After all, I am old, and I didn't take this matter to heart at that time. Besides, there are many people in the mansion, and I didn't recognize anyone just by looking at them. I remember that the fifth man in the mansion The girl was about to enter the door, but she had a face-to-face with the old man."

Seventh Lady pondered for a moment before she smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for calling me!"

So he got up in person and sent Mr. Zhong out of Mingde Hall.
