"Doctor Min, cousin Feng, this..." Mr. Chen was in a dilemma. On one side was Dr. Min, whom the late emperor once trusted. He was the former head of the hospital. The eldest brother specially invited him to diagnose his mother. The other was Dr. Min. His cousin was now the head of the Imperial Hospital, and the two argued with each other. He was in a dilemma, and he didn't know who to help for a while.
The elder brother and sister of the Chen family stood in silence. At this time, it was about the death of their grandmother. As juniors, they did not dare to speak out. Even Chen Yuanze, who was usually loved by all, fell silent. Although he believed in Xiao Ming secretly, But he didn't dare to speak, he couldn't bear the terrible consequences.
"Bring the medicine, I'll take it." Mrs. Chen said with a decisive tone.
"Mother."
"Mrs. Chen."
The second master Chen and Chen Feng shouted at the same time. The difference was that the second master Chen was worried and worried, while Chen Feng was more angry and resentful.
"No defense, I trust Dr. Min." When things came to a close, Mrs. Chen laughed instead.
"Grandma." The three brothers and sisters Chen Yuanhao said with concern.
"Don't worry, grandma will be fine." Mrs. Chen comforted the three of them instead. Just as Min Fangqi said, "Just because you don't know, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." 'She also doesn't want to drink those unpleasant, bitter soups and medicines.
Mrs. Chen resolutely took the medicine given by Xiao Ming, and after a while, she fell asleep peacefully. Mr. Chen Er saw his mother sleeping, with a soothing expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and led a few people out of the bedroom quietly, but Xiao Ming was surprised. Ming stayed with the eldest girl beside the old lady. Obviously, he was still worried about his mother's condition.
"Master, how is mother?" In the hall, Mrs. Chen saw the second master and others retreating, and quickly stepped forward to ask. The others looked at her, wanting to know Mrs. Chen's condition.
Because the old lady was critically ill, people from several houses rushed over, and even the young masters who went to school rushed back. Both the concubines and the concubines from all the houses gathered in Jing'an Hall, waiting anxiously. The old lady was seriously ill, so they naturally had to serve. disease.
Just now, Doctor Chen suddenly came out, expressionless, and walked out of Jing'an Hall quickly, making them anxious, fearing that something might happen to the old lady.
"The situation has stabilized for the time being. Mother has gone to bed." Master Chen Er said, "In the past few days, mother has been recuperating in peace and quiet. No loud noises are allowed in Jing'an Hall to disturb mother's rest. Violators will be severely punished." Master Chen Er remembered Xiao. The words Ming confessed made her mother rest and her mood could not bear any fluctuation.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Mrs. Chen settled down, nodded in agreement, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not just her, but all the other ladies in the house breathed a sigh of relief, and then they thought about attending to the illness and how to please the old lady during her illness.
A little maid opened the curtain at the door and came in. She whispered a few words in the ear of Zi Lian, the eldest girl at the door, and then left. Zi Lian did not dare to say anything and quickly whispered a report next to Mrs. Chen Er.
"What happened?" Mr. Chen Er asked with a frown.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen Er's expression changed, and she finally said: "Master, the concierge has come to report that Dr. Chen has something urgent at home and has already left for Beijing. I am afraid he will leave the house now."
"Yeah." Mr. Chen Er whispered, still remembering Chen Feng. How could he forget about him? Just now, his mother insisted on taking the medicine given by Xiao Ming in the house, which made Chen Feng unable to get off the stage and left angrily. He was annoyed and left the Chen Mansion directly. A family emergency was just an excuse.
"I'll go see him off." Mr. Chen Er said and went out.
"Everyone, please leave. The mother's health is the most important thing in the house. Although the mother has to rest, the children will not have to worry about morning and dusk in the future! What do the younger brothers and sisters think?" As a scholarly family with a century-old history, the Chen family There are many rules in a hereditary family. It is indispensable for the wives of each house to lead their descendants to Jing'an Hall every day to calm down in the morning and dusk.
"What the second sister-in-law said is that everything should put the old lady's health first." The fifth wife took the lead in expressing her attitude, and the third and fourth bedrooms nodded accordingly. The juniors' morning and evening routines were saved. As daughters-in-law, they are indispensable for this attendant. , there can't be any mistakes, otherwise an unfilial reputation will be suppressed.
"I'll trouble my brothers and sisters from now on," Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Chen's second wife, said.
"What did the second sister-in-law say? It's what we should do to serve the old lady." The third wife smiled and acted affectionately, as if the person who had just made trouble to the second sister-in-law was not her.
Within two days, after taking Xiao Ming's antihypertensive drugs, Mrs. Chen's physical pain was relieved. She had some energy and was able to get out of bed and walk a few steps. Xiao Ming also explained many precautions for patients with high blood pressure. , including diet, Mrs. Chen Er and others kept it in mind.
Because Mrs. Chen's condition improved, everyone in the Chen family looked at Xiao Ming in a new light. The maid who served her was even more respectful and treated Xiao Ming and Min Fangqi as honored guests. They did not dare to show any slights. Madam is even more generous with rewards.
Xiao Ming was not surprised by this, took it calmly, and continued to discuss medicine with Min Fangqi. It must be said that Min Fangqi was indeed a medical genius, fully embodying the profound meaning of the boundless sea of knowledge, and having a very strong desire for knowledge about new medicine.
Not ashamed to ask, in the past two days, Min Fangqi asked Xiao Ming for advice on hypertension, its condition, symptoms, onset experience, etc., and an in-depth study of the medicines given by Xiao Ming actually allowed him to develop a good set of prescriptions for treating high blood pressure. Ming had to admire his medical talent.
"Girl, you're back." Li'er shouted cheerfully, welcoming Xiao Ming who had returned from an outing. Now Mrs. Chen Er has specially arranged a small and unique courtyard for Xiao Ming, and arranged for maids to serve her. She is like the daughter of the Chen family, which shows that she attaches great importance to Xiao Ming.
"Who sent this again?" Xiao Ming looked at the two brocade boxes on the table and was speechless. In the past few days, she had been reluctant to receive gifts because Mrs. Chen's condition had been relieved, and everyone in the Chen family was very fond of her. His attitude became better day by day, and his wife gave him a lot of valuable gold and jade hairpins and expensive clothes. Even the concubines in the Chen family seemed to want to be friends with him.
"It's Miss Ning Ke and Miss Ning Yan." Li'er said. What Chen Ningke sent was a box of pearl flowers that are popular in the capital. They are exquisite and beautiful, with fine gemstones inlaid on them, which shows their nobility; what Chen Ningyan sent was a box of small beads. Pearls, although pearls are small, they are the best because they are all the same size, which is very rare.
Chen Ningke and Chen Ningyan gave gifts that were much more valuable than those of their peers, and they were eager to compare themselves to each other.
This kind of utilitarian flattery made Xiao Ming feel disgusted. Xiao Ming knew what they wanted, and it was not as straightforward as Chen Yuanze, who had a straightforward temperament.
"Girl, Master Chen has also been here. I'll invite you to go boating on the river tomorrow." Li'er said, pouting with an angry expression. Since she knocked Chen Yuanze over that day, although Chen Yuanze didn't care about it on the surface, he still didn't care about it. Seeing Xiao Ming frowning at her, the relationship between the two was not good in private, and they looked at each other with disgust.
"Okay." Xiao Ming nodded happily. Since Mrs. Chen turned the corner, Chen Yuanze has relaxed and returned to his true nature, often going out to play.
