White Hedge Dream

Chapter 31 Talking about illness

"Young lady is not sick."

Chun Yue knelt on the ground and explained to Huang's mother.

"Young lady, I just didn't sleep well, so I took it upon myself to make Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction."

This is the most common prescription. The maids and young ladies at home will make a bowl of it and drink it if they feel slightly unwell. These medicinal materials are always kept in the kitchen and can be used to make medicine and soup.

"Young lady, just tell the madam if you don't feel well." Mother Huang said with a straight face, "Our family is not someone who can't afford a doctor, and madam is not a housewife who treats her daughter-in-law. There is no need to secretly take medicine to create such a small family. behavior.”

Chunyue's eyes were red, and she leaned forward and kowtowed: "It's my fault—"

Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Li, who was sitting in front of the table inside, came out.

"So that's why I came here." She said, "Thank you madam. I am indeed not feeling well, but it's not a serious problem. There is no need to ask a doctor. I can just drink Bupleurum and Guizhi soup." She looked at Chun Yue who was kneeling on the ground again. "If you do it wrong, I won't drink it when it's served."

Is this to protect the girl and take the blame on herself? Mother Huang snorted coldly, "Don't rush to pretend to be generous, you are the one who was wrong."

"If the madam doesn't come to ask, the young madam plans to keep drinking Bupleurum Guizhi soup in hiding?" She said solemnly, "The young madam doesn't want to see the madam, just send the girl to tell her."

This is not right. Chunyue couldn't help but pull Zhuang Li's sleeve. Young lady, please don't admit it.

Zhuang Li gently pulled back his sleeves and said to Huang's mother, "It's not that I don't want to see Madam, it's that Madam doesn't want to see me."

Not letting her admit this unfilial remark was not asking her to correct who she didn't want to see, Chunyue was stunned.

Mother Huang did not expect that she would say this, and she smiled angrily with a straight face: "We all know that the young madam is resentful, but there is no need to be like this. Madam doesn't like you, and you are also the daughter-in-law of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion. I won’t let you die of illness, and your efforts to arouse sympathy and ruin Madam’s reputation are all in vain.”

Zhuang Li frowned, she was really not in good spirits. She knew before that Mrs. Hou had heard Xue Liu's gossip and went to invite a doctor, but she didn't come. She thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that the lady refused to give up. Not only did she invite the doctor again, Doctor, he took the opportunity to reprimand me.

Then she should cut through the mess quickly.

"Mother Huang misunderstood. What I meant is that this little thing doesn't need to disturb Madam." She said, "Mrs. Zhuang knows medical skills, and I learned some from her. I know how to see a doctor and know the priorities. If the illness is really serious, I will definitely I will tell Madam to call the doctor immediately."

Mother Huang sneered: "Young madam, your medical skills are profound and profound. You can't just read a few books and be called a doctor."

Zhuang Li smiled: "Mother Huang can verify it." She looked outside the door and could see an old man standing in the corridor through the curtain, "The doctor happens to be here too."

…

….

"I only see patients and don't judge others."

Zhang Shilin listened to the women arguing loudly and quietly in the yard, and he understood in his heart that it was a small illness that was a big deal.

He has always disliked dealing with powerful people, especially those in the inner circle. Most of them are not seeking medical treatment, but using the illness to cause trouble, to invite favors, to pretend to be pitiful, and to vent their anger.

He was invited in, and when he saw that there were no one standing or kneeling in the room, there was no one lying down, which further confirmed his suspicion. When he heard the young woman called Young Madam said, "I have something to trouble Doctor Zhang - "

He interrupted to express his attitude.

Don't bother him, he's just a doctor and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhuang Li said: "I just want you to judge whether I can see a doctor or not."

Can she see a doctor? Zhang Shilin looked at it and then looked at Huang's mother with a straight face.

Mother Huang said with a straight face: "Please ask Dr. Zhang to be a witness."

Zhang Shilin frowned: "How to verify?"

Zhuang Li signaled Chun Yue to stand up, and then asked the maids in the room, including Mother Huang, to stand in a row.

"I'll diagnose their pulse and tell them their pulse condition." She said, "Doctor please..." She paused here and looked at Zhang Shilin, "You haven't asked doctor Gao's name yet?"

Zhang Shilin dared not say: "Zhang Shilin."

Zhuang Li looked at him with faint eyes: "Zhang Shilin." Three words slipped from his lips and tongue, "I tell you the pulse condition I diagnosed, you tell me the pulse condition you diagnosed, you are a doctor, you know medical skills, if we say Same, then I also know medical skills.”

Zhang Shilin seemed a little stunned. He repeated the words slowly and said with a palm: "Yes, that's right."

He looked at Zhuang Li and smiled.

"If we say the same thing, the young lady is also a doctor."….

….

"What about that? Did she say everything right?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou, who was leaning leisurely on the couch by the window while the little girls beat her legs, heard this and couldn't help interrupting Mama Huang's story and asked.

At the same time, I also saw Huang’s mother’s face.

It has been decades since Mama Huang entered the mansion, and this is the first time Mrs. Dongyang Hou has seen her look so embarrassed and helpless.

"Everything is correct, just like what Dr. Zhang said." Huang's mother said, smiling bitterly at this point, "The young lady also diagnosed me with cold phlegm and blood congestion."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou asked in surprise: "Do you have one?"

Since Zhou Jingyun was born, Huang's mother has been by her side. For more than 20 years, Huang's mother has never even experienced wind and cold. In her eyes, she is a strong and strong person.

What is cold phlegm and congestion? Serious or not?

Huang’s mother hurriedly comforted her: “It’s not serious, it’s just that my legs and feet feel uncomfortable on a rainy day.”

Yeah? I don’t see it every day...

Mrs. Dongyang Hou's face turned red and white. She served Nobushige's mother closely, but she didn't know that her legs and feet were not good. This matron was too cool.

"What do you say? What kind of medicine?" She asked repeatedly, and asked Huang's mother to sit down. "Sit down quickly. You don't have to stand in front of me in the future."

A smile appeared on Huang's mother's face. She knew that Mrs. Dongyang Hou was just a big-hearted person, not a mistress who ignored the meanness of her servants.

"Listen to me, don't tell me that you can't tell, I don't feel it myself." She said seriously, "I just occasionally squat for a long time and it's not easy to stand up, but who doesn't do this? I'm older, Other than that, there are no other symptoms. Dr. Zhang also looked at it and said that the symptoms are just beginning to show, and it will be cured after drinking a few doses of Xiaohuoluo Decoction. "

Mrs. Dongyang Hou breathed a sigh of relief: "Drink, drink, go to Dr. Zhang's Baohe Hall to get the best medicine. Don't go to Tai Hospital to wait. There is a good doctor and good medicine, but it is not our turn to use it."

Xue Liu looked on at the side and suddenly couldn't understand. She couldn't help but stepped forward and said timidly: "It turns out that I was worrying too much. The young lady actually knows medical skills." Then he knelt down and said, "I scared the madam."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou came to her senses, oh, there is another matter.

"How will we know if she doesn't tell?" she said, snorted again, looked at Huang's mother and asked, "Are you embarrassed?"

Huang’s mother smiled and said, “No, no.”

Zhuang Li could scold Mrs. Xue as an idiot in person, but Mrs. Xue couldn't refute it. Mrs. Dongyang Hou had seen it with her own eyes.

This woman looks gentle and quiet, but she actually doesn't suffer at all.

How could I give up when Huang's mother and the doctor forced her to interrogate her? He certainly didn't say a nice word.

"It's her fault that she knows how to heal again." Mrs. Dongyang Hou said.

If you feel uncomfortable with medical skills, shouldn't you tell your mother-in-law?

It's not right for a daughter-in-law to hide and take medicine.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongxing came in from outside and said, "Young Madam, come to see Madam." He then asked, "Will Madam see you or not?"

Come to apologize?

Guess she still knows etiquette.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou leaned back on the pillow and said calmly: "Let her come in."

Do you want her to check her pulse later and see what she can diagnose?

But what I didn't expect was that the daughter-in-law came into the house. First, she didn't apologize, and second, she didn't take the initiative to check her mother-in-law's pulse. She only said one word.

"Madam, Xue Liu, I don't need it here."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou sat up straight in astonishment, and Xue Liu, who retreated to another room to avoid it, also stared wide-eyed.

This young lady actually wants to drive her away? !

Why!
