Xiao Ming stroked his forehead. He had been busy picking fruits these days and had forgotten such an important thing.
It turns out that the girl in front of her is the daughter of Mrs. Xu, the prefect’s wife. Xiao Ming only gave Xu a prescription, and asked Yi Feng to send a month’s worth of space water. Now that the time limit has passed, Xu’s medicine has been After using it, she didn't see her for a follow-up visit. Xu was so impatient that she had to ask Lan Ling to come over and invite her.
"Excuse me, miss, come here. Xiao Ming is the best. Please go in and have a cup of tea. I'll set off as soon as I'm ready." Xiao Ming said, inviting Miss Lan Ling to go in and have a rest.
Lan Ling nodded and did not comment on Xiao Ming's proposal. It was completely different from the indifferent attitude that day. Now that the wife has taken the medicine given by Dr. Xiao, her body has changed significantly. Especially after using the snow mud, her skin has become tender. She was fair-skinned and fairer than their teenage girls. The master rested in his wife's room for several days in a row. The wife was in a good mood and was kind to their slaves.
All this is because of Xiao Ming. Before coming, Lan Yi warned her repeatedly to be polite to Dr. Xiao and invited Dr. Xiao to diagnose Madam's pulse.
In the hall, Mother Yi prepared fruit shaved ice for Miss Lan Ling.
"Please, Miss Lan Ling, she will be here soon."
"It's okay, I'll just wait a moment." Lan Ling looked at the fruit shaved ice in front of her. It was very novel. The colorful fruit pieces were placed on the crushed ice. It was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to take a bite.
Because of the wife's relationship, the girls in their yard rarely eat ice cubes, and they have to endure the heat even in the hot summer.
Xiao Ming did not let Lan Ling wait too long. She and Jiang Xiangyuan boarded the carriage and went to Pingcheng. This time, Wang Yunling and Yi Feng were not brought with them. There were many things at home, so they were left to help at home.
After what happened at Lianxiangyuan last time, Mother Yi must let someone follow Xiao Ming, otherwise the family would not feel at ease.
"Sister Lan Ling, how is Mrs. Xu's health lately?" Xiao Ming asked in the carriage how Mrs. Xu was doing.
"Since taking the girl's medicine, my wife has been in good health recently~~~" Lan Ling was very excited. In short, her wife was eating well, sleeping soundly, and was in better spirits, especially her skin became white and tender. .
"Dr. Xiao, this snow-faced mud is really easy to use. Madam's skin turned white after using it for a few days. You have used up what you left last time. Madam, please bring more." Lan Ling said, feeling very envious.
"Okay." Xiao Ming agreed. She has a lot of snowy mud.
When they arrived at the magistrate's house, a little girl came to meet them as soon as they entered the door. Looking at Lan Ling and Xiao Ming, she ran over quickly and blocked them in front of them.
"Sister Lan Ling, Aunt Yan suddenly feels unwell. Please ask Dr. Xiao to check on her."
The maid in front of her was Xiao Cui'er, the errand girl next to Aunt Yan. Xiao Cui'er looked anxious, and she didn't know whether she was blocking the way of Lan Ling and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
"Haha, what a joke." Lan Ling was furious, losing the respect he had in front of Xiao Ming.
"Aunt Yan is not feeling well, you go and ask the doctor yourself. Doctor Xiao is Madam's distinguished guest. He can treat cats and dogs wherever he comes." It's ridiculous that an aunt dared to ask Doctor Xiao to diagnose her illness.
Besides, this is not a sign of illness, he is clearly trying to stop someone.
Lan Ling ignored Xiao Cui'er, but pushed her away with his hand, and continued to lead Xiao Ming to the madam's yard, leaving Xiao Cui'er stomping on the spot.
"Humph!" Xiao Cuier snorted and quickly returned to Aunt Yan's yard.
Today's Xu's mental outlook is completely different from that of before. She is in very good condition. From the fact that she can personally greet Xiao Ming at the door, it can be seen that she is very happy.
Xiao Ming's medicine did not cure her pregnancy syndrome, but gave her hope that maybe she would become a mother like other women.
"Madam's body has initially improved since her menstruation. Xiao Ming will prescribe another prescription for Madam, and she will come back for a follow-up consultation in a month." Xiao Ming said that now she has only initially nursed back Xu's body and changed her depressed mental state. , having a good attitude in this way will be of great help to future treatment.
"Okay, I'll help you, Doctor Xiao." Mrs. Xu took back her hand and said politely. At this time, her attitude towards Xiao Ming was no longer as casual and careless as it was a month ago. After taking Xiao Ming's medicine, within a few days, she She can feel the effect herself. She sleeps better every night and her energy is much better. She used to be sleepy every day and couldn't lift her energy. Now her energy and energy are much better. She once asked an old doctor to ask for help. Diagnosing the pulse, the old doctor was greatly surprised after reading Xiao Ming's prescription. Ordinary prescriptions can have some miraculous effects.
Mrs. Xu believed that as long as Xiao Ming continued to nurse her back to health, her chronic illness of Gong Han would be cured.
"Madam, you're welcome, this is Xiao Ming's responsibility." Xiao Ming said, and started writing prescriptions. Now she mainly focuses on recuperating Xu's health and treating Gong Han's problems.
"You need to sell me some more of Dr. Xiao's snow-faced mud. I use it very well." Mrs. Xu added that she liked the snow-faced mud very much.
Which woman doesn’t love beauty? Snow mud can improve skin quality and make the skin better than snow. Using a little snow mud on the face is a hundred times better than using rouge and gouache.
"That's natural." Xiao Ming smiled and took out a jar of snowy mud from the medicine box.
Lan Yi, who was next to Mrs. Xu, immediately took it, thanked her respectfully, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Doctor Xiao. Ever since Madam used the snow face mud, I no longer use the rouge gouache at home. I have been feeling unwell after using it for the past two days. .You have solved Madam’s big problem.”
"You girl, you are such a talker, why don't you bring some money to Dr. Xiao?" Mrs. Xu smiled, not angry.
"Yes, madam." Lan Yi turned around and entered the inner room, and came out soon after. She placed two silver ingots of the same size in front of Xiao Ming. Fifty taels were certain, and two were exactly one hundred taels.
"I don't know how much this snowy face mud is sold for. Please accept it, Doctor Xiao." Mrs. Xu asked. She knew that expensive rouge gouache is not cheap. The snowy face mud given by Xiao Ming is better than countless rouge gouache. .
"Thank you madam." Xiao Ming took it and put it in the medicine box. This time she gave more than last time. Last time she gave her massage, prescriptions, and this snowy mud, and Mrs. Xu only gave her twenty taels of silver. .
Lan Ling opened the curtain and walked in, whispering something in Xu's ear. Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan did not hear it, but judging from her face, something unhappy must have happened.
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly and said softly: "I have a distinguished guest here, let her go back."
"Yes." Lan Ling saluted and was about to exit.
"Oops! Sister, why didn't I know that there are guests here? I asked the kitchen to prepare more good dishes for them." A crisp voice rang outside the curtain. He arrived before anyone arrived, and then the curtain opened. Get up, and a bright and beautiful woman walks in, followed by the girl Xiao Cui'er.
This person is Aunt Yan who is in charge of the back house.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Xu looked at Aunt Yan who came uninvited, her voice was low and her mood was not depressed, but she did not get angry in front of Xiao Ming.
"I haven't seen Madam for a long time. I heard that Madam has been in good health recently, so I came here specially to see her." Aunt Yan came in slowly, bowed lightly in front of Mrs. Xu and stood up on her own.
"I will pay my respects to Madam for a long time. I hope Madam will not blame you. Actually, the master said that Madam is not feeling well and asked me not to disturb my sister's peace and quiet." Aunt Yan stood aside and glanced at Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan who were sitting there. , she was careless and underestimated that the little girl in front of her could actually get the madam to invite her for a follow-up consultation.
"The master has asked me to take care of the backyard. Madam also knows that there are many people in our house and everything must be taken care of for the master. We cannot let down the master's wishes. Is there anything missing here, madam?" , just ask someone to talk to me, I will be sent here, my wife is well, which is a blessing to our house." Aunt Yan seemed to be declaring her sovereignty when she spoke, her style and tone of voice, Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan, who had just entered the mansion, thought she was the prefect's wife and the real master of the backyard.
Awesome! !
"Well, I understand, you can go back first!" Mrs. Xu waved her hand and didn't look at her again. Every word she said was cutting into Mrs. Xu's flesh and blood, making Mrs. Xu miserable.
"Is this little girl Dr. Xiao?" Ms. Xu chased the person away, but Aunt Yan didn't seem to understand, let alone go out like this. Instead, she looked at Xiao Ming.
"Madam, I haven't been feeling well these days. Since Doctor Xiao is here, please give me a look." Aunt Yan looked at Mrs. Xu, and without waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak, she said, "Please, Doctor Xiao." Go sit in my yard, it’s very hot in this room, it’s made Doctor Xiao sweat all over.”
It can be seen that Aunt Yan is not ordinary arrogant. She said such disrespectful words in front of Mrs. Xu in Madam's room.
Due to Mrs. Xu's health, she cannot place an ice basin in the house in summer. The room is stuffy. From the time Aunt Yan entered the house until now, the girl Xiao Cuier has been helping her shake the beauty fan, but she still has a bruise on her forehead. Xiao Ming and others also sweated, but they all endured it.
Lan Ling's eyes widened and her face flushed with anger. If she hadn't been pulled by Lan Yi, she would have rushed out to argue with her master and teach this arrogant and domineering aunt a lesson.
"No, just watch here. Dr. Xiao is my distinguished guest. How could she condescend to go to the yard of one of your aunts." Mrs. Xu said. At this time, she was no longer in the good mood she had been at the beginning.
However, she is not someone to be trifled with. Aunt Yan is arrogant and domineering, relying on the master's favor and not taking her as his wife seriously. But after all, she is the wife that the master is marrying, and she is just a humble concubine.
Sure enough, Aunt Yan's face fell after hearing what Xu said. Yes, even if she gave birth to the eldest son of the concubine, she would still be just a concubine.
Aunt Yan was happy on her face, but secretly resentful in her heart.
"I thank you, Madam, for being so kind. I am really guilty of disturbing Madam's peace." Aunt Yan actually asked Xiao Ming to diagnose her pulse in Xu's house.
"Aunt Yan is in good health, there's nothing wrong with her." Xiao Ming took back her hand, a little speechless. Since ancient times, the back house has been selling cigarettes out of sight, fighting openly and secretly, discord in the back house, and unrest in the family house. These are all the faults of men. If they were all monogamous, there wouldn't be so many things.
This Aunt Yan in front of her was like this, looking for excuses to make Mrs. Xu look bad.
"But I feel like I've been feeling unwell lately. I'm low on energy. I feel very uncomfortable when I leave the house." Aunt Yan said, looking at Xiao Ming. She wanted to see what the little girl who let her miss was capable of. I can cure my wife.
"It's because of the weather. My aunt stays in the room with the ice basin every day. Although it's cool, it's harmful to the body for a long time. I'll give her a prescription for health, and she'll be fine after taking three doses in a row." Xiao Ming's intention was not to let Aunt Yan stay in a room filled with ice every day. He also prescribed a set of ordinary health-preserving prescriptions for her. The prescriptions seemed ordinary, and some of them had no effect when put together. But in The taste is a bit special.
"Well, thank you Doctor Xiao. Xiao Cui'er put it away." Aunt Yan asked Xiao Cui'er to put the prescription away, and then said: "Little doctor, please help me take a look. It has been almost five years since I gave birth to the second young lady. , there has been no news from him in the past five years.”
Aunt Yan deliberately spoke very quietly, but the room was so big, and the people in the room could hear her more clearly.
Xu's hands were tightly clenched into palms, and her nails were embedded in her palms. Lan Yi and Lan Ling were even more angry. Lan Yi was able to hold still, but Lan Ling seemed to be scolding. Lan Ling stopped in time.
"My aunt is in good health. This child is fate. Don't be impatient. Just because you can't conceive for a while doesn't mean it will last forever. When fate comes, it will happen naturally. It's only five years. It's not a long time. Some people can still have children after they are forty or fifty years old. Child." Xiao Ming said, as if comforting Aunt Yan, but more like comforting Xu. Xu's disease was just a minor illness like the infertility she encountered in her previous life. It is not difficult to cure. Give her half a year. Time will heal.
"Then I accept your good advice. I hope I can still have children when I'm fifty." Aunt Yan looked at Xiao Ming with a half-smile.
"The master is here." A little maid at the door shouted loudly, her voice was very excited.
Everyone in the room, including Mrs. Xu, all came out to greet him. Aunt Yan seemed to have changed her face, and she obediently landed behind Mrs. Xu to greet the master.
Xiao Ming led Jiang Xiangyuan to the side, not expecting to meet the prefect.
"Master." Mrs. Xu and all the girls in the room saluted the man who came in.
"Everyone, get up." The prefect, Peng Zhou, was young, just over thirty, and in his thirties, he personally pulled Mr. Xu up and sat down on the main seat. Seeing that his appearance was not as what was reported outside, The Xu family cannot be favored.
"Why are you here?" The prefect looked at Aunt Yan.
"I heard that Madam is well. I came to see Madam and thank Dr. Xiao for curing my husband." Aunt Yan's tone was gentle and well-behaved, and the scene just now was deeply imprinted in her eyes. No longer as arrogant as before, Jiang Xiangyuan looked at her with wide eyes, extremely curious, but this was not the case.
"You said it was Doctor Xiao?" The prefect looked at Xiao Ming and nodded.
"I've met the doctor." Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan saluted.
"Well, get up. You are young and promising. Treat me well. If you cure me, you will be rewarded greatly." Xiao Ming is young, and Peng Youqin does not believe how good her medical skills are.
However, he is over thirty and has no legitimate son, which is a pity. Although Aunt Yan gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, other aunts in the house also gave birth to a legitimate son. If Mrs. Xu could give birth to a legitimate son for him, it would be even more alright.
