Shen Tianshu packed his acupuncture bag.
Mrs. Chen looked at the tired look on her face and said distressedly: "Let Yingqiu take care of it and go and have a rest."
"It'll be ready soon." Shen Tianshu smiled, "I have to pack everything in the medicine box myself, otherwise I won't be able to find the location of the items in case of an emergency next time."
When Yingqiu heard this, she suddenly remembered what happened that night.
"Old madam, that night, you were blocked by phlegm and couldn't breathe.
"Ms. Tong didn't even look at it, she reached out and took out the reed pipe from the medicine box.
"The situation was extremely urgent at that time, and the slave was almost scared to death.
"Fortunately, Mrs. Tong is calm and steady, otherwise I can't even imagine what would happen.
Mrs. Chen said: "Why else would he be a miracle doctor?"
After Shen Tianshu organized the medicine box, Mrs. Chen urged her to take a rest.
"I won't call you at noon. I'll let the kitchen prepare it. When you wake up, I'll ask them to cook for you."
Shen Tianshu was indeed tired and slept until the evening.
Cailan had been standing guard outside the door, paying attention to what was going on in the house.
Hearing the sound of Shen Tianshu getting up and going down, he asked, "Ms. Tong, are you up? I've asked someone to help you wash up?"
"Well, come in." Shen Tianshu said.
Cailan gave a few instructions to the little maids, and then went in first and opened the window.
Because Mrs. Chen's yard is on the top of a mountain, the area enclosed by the courtyard wall is relatively large. In addition, to prevent moisture, the main house has been elevated.
So as long as you open the window, you can have an unobstructed view of the outside scenery.
The mountain breeze blows into the house. Although it is a little cold, it is very comfortable.
Refreshing.
Shen Tianshu suddenly felt relaxed and happy, thinking that the Chen family was really good at choosing places.
But before she could get to the window and take in the scenery carefully, she felt her nose itching and sneezed several times in succession.
Upon seeing this, Cai Lan quickly closed the window and said worriedly: "Ms. Tong, it's all my fault. You won't catch a cold, right?"
"It's not that easy to catch a cold." Shen Tianshu waved his hand nonchalantly, "I never noticed it before. The scenery in the back mountain is really good."
"Yes!" Seeing that she had no other discomforts, Cai Lan felt relieved and said with a smile, "The mountains behind here are not only beautiful, but there are also a lot of medicinal materials!"
"Medicinal materials?" Shen Tianshu suddenly became interested when he mentioned this, "Are there many wild medicinal materials here?"
Cailan was immediately stopped by the question, hesitated and said, "I don't know if it's wild or not.
“I heard that there were some wild medicinal materials on the mountain back then, but later most of them were cleared away because of the construction of the government.
"Later, when the old man was still alive, Dr. Jiang came to the mansion and said that the climate here is very suitable for growing some medicinal materials.
"After Dr. Jiang left, the old man found someone to plant a lot of medicinal materials in the back mountain.
“It’s just that there’s no one in the mansion who understands this, so the medicinal materials in the back mountain are basically left to fend for themselves.
“As time goes by, some of the unsuitable ones disappear by themselves, while some of the ones that are suitable for growing in the back mountains grow more and more on their own.
“When the old man was still here, he would ask people to harvest it every year and sell it to pharmacies.
"Since the old man passed away, no one has taken care of the medicinal materials in the back mountain. I don't know what they have grown into now."
Shen Tian
Shu didn't expect that his grandfather had also been to Sanli City and had a relationship with the late Chen family's father.
She has been practicing medicine for many years and has always been interested in medicinal materials. When she heard that her grandfather suggested planting them, she became more and more interested in going to the back mountains to find out.
After Cai Lan finished speaking, he saw Shen Tianshu's interested expression and said, "If Madam Tong is interested, I will accompany you to the back mountain tomorrow to have a look."
"Okay!" Shen Tianshu nodded happily, "Remember to prepare a medicine hoe and a basket for me. Now is a good time to dig for medicinal materials."
Cai Lan also didn't expect that digging for medicinal materials would make Shen Tianshu so happy.
However, Mrs. Chen has said that all her requirements must be met, and everything should be done to make her happy and comfortable.
So seeing that this incident made her so happy, Cailan couldn't help but be happy too, thinking about how many more maids would be called tomorrow.
Although the back mountains are also within the scope of Sanli City, there will be no danger.
But there is no guarantee that there will be snakes or other wild animals.
Moreover, Shen Tianshu looked a little frail. She had been vigiling every day for the past few days without getting a good rest. If she couldn't walk anymore, it would be nice to have someone to carry her.
At this moment, the little maids were already filing in carrying warm water and toiletries.
After Cai Lian helped Shen Tianshu wash up, she gave her a simple bun.
Shen Tianshu put on some homely clothes and planned to go over to see Mrs. Chen and have dinner with her.
After Mrs. Chen took the medicine she had been taking for the past few days, her body recovered at an astonishing speed.
Shen Tianshu checked her pulse and felt a little unbelievable.
"At the old lady's current age, your body is basically
It's really good. "
"That's not true. After all, I am also from a family of military commanders. I have been practicing Wuqinxi and Baduanjin with my father and brother since I was a child.
"I have always been in good health. Even the problem with my lungs was caused by accidentally falling into a cold pool when I was fighting with the old man. I choked on the water and caught the cold.
"I took the medicine you prescribed at the beginning of the year and I haven't had it again this year. Who knew a new problem would appear again.
"It can be seen that I am still old, and my body and bones are not as strong as before."
"You are already much better than most of your peers. How can a person not get sick if he eats whole grains?
“Don’t talk about getting older, don’t young people also get sick?
"When you get sick, just treat yourself well and take medicine. It's not a big deal."
After checking Mrs. Chen's pulse, Shen Tianshu said: "Take this medicine for two more days to consolidate it, and then you can change the prescription."
"Does that mean we don't have to keep vigil?" This is what Mrs. Chen is most concerned about.
Shen Tianshu said with a smile: "Yes, you don't cough much now, and the phlegm has almost disappeared, so I don't need to continue to keep vigil by your bedside."
"Amitabha, this is great!" Mrs. Chen chanted with her hands clasped together.
In the past few days, Shen Tianshu's vigil by her bedside had really put a considerable psychological burden on her.
The incident of almost suffocating at night left a big psychological shadow on her, so she didn't dare to say that she didn't need to keep watch.
But she felt bad about letting Shen Tianshu stay vigil all night.
Now that she is finally feeling much better, she no longer has to keep watch every night, which really makes her let go of a big stone.
"I haven't had a good rest since you came home, which has made me feel bad all the time.
I couldn't help but now I can finally sleep normally. "
The two chatted for half an hour, and then the chef brought dinner.
Mrs. Chen looked at the dishes placed on the table one after another and asked: "You have been eating so lightly with me these days, are you not used to it?
"Just tell them what you want to eat, and don't be polite."
"Old Madam, you are worrying too much. In fact, the food I eat at home is relatively light." Shen Tianshu said, "Your cook here is very good at cooking, and I eat it quite smoothly."
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be used to it here."
The two of them were talking and eating dinner when a servant came in and reported: "Old madam, Sanshu Chen is asking for a meeting outside and wants to express his gratitude to Mrs. Tong!"
"Sanshu Chen said that the child did start to eat at night.
"Although I didn't eat as much as usual, I still used most of the bowl of fish porridge,"
Mrs. Chen glanced at Shen Tianshu, who was naked and without a mask, and directly refused for her: "Just say that we are eating, so there is no need to come in and say thank you in person."
Shen Tianshu also said: "Yes, the old lady is right.
“I have received his thanks.
"Just ask him to remember to take the child for acupuncture tomorrow morning."
After dinner, Shen Tianshu returned to his room.
Cai Lan came into the room holding several medical books and said: "Ms. Tong, the old lady asked someone to find these from the storeroom at home.
"It's just that these are old books. I wonder if you can read them."
Previously, Cailan was afraid that Shen Tianshu would be bored by being alone, so he prepared some story books for her in the house.
But through observation, she found that Shen Tianshu was not interested in these at all.
this evening
, discovered that Shen Tianshu was very interested in the medicinal materials in the back mountain, and Cai Lan immediately understood that he had been looking in the wrong direction.
She talked to Yingqiu about it privately.
Sure enough, someone soon sent a few old medical books found in the warehouse. They also said that the old lady had arranged for someone to go to the city to see if there were any new medical books recently. If there were any, they would buy them back to relieve Madam Tong's boredom. .
Cailan finally figured out Shen Tianshu's preferences this time.
Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the medical book. As for whether it was old or not, she didn't care at all.
Seeing Shen Tianshu sitting at the table and starting to open a medical book, Cailan quickly stepped forward and turned on the oil lamp a little brighter, and brought two more candlesticks in, fearing that it would be too dark in the room to damage Shen Tianshu's eyesight.
Among the medical books that the Chen family found, there was one that Shen Tianshu had never read, so she was quite fascinated by it.
But after watching it for a while, I felt my head felt a little heavy and my body felt a little uncomfortable.
Shen Tianshu soon noticed something strange in her body. She raised her hand to touch her forehead. Could it be that she was really infected with the cold?
But her palms were also very hot, and when they were placed on her forehead, she couldn't tell which one was hotter.
"Cai Lan..." Shen Tianshu called someone, only to realize that his voice had become hoarse at some point.
Fortunately, it was very quiet at night. Cailan vaguely heard voices outside, walked to the door and asked, "Ms. Tong, are you calling me slave?"
"Ahem - well, I..." Shen Tianshu cleared his throat, but his words were still very hoarse.
Cailan heard something was wrong in the voice and quickly opened the door and entered the house. She saw that Shen Tianshu's cheeks were very flushed and his eyes were not very bright.
look like.
She stepped forward quickly, raised her hand and touched Shen Tianshu's forehead, and exclaimed: "Ms. Tong, do you have a fever?"
