Chapter 9
They chatted while walking. When they reached the second gate, Qin Heng stopped and said with a smile, "Master Lu, please stay."
Lu Desheng followed his example and was escorted out by Butler Chen. His identity meant that he should not have close contact with anyone else. Being seen by others would be detrimental to both of them.
Before leaving, Qin Heng also reminded, "There are constant rumors in Chang'an City, which is of no use to my concubine. No matter what decision is made, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu should make it as soon as possible."
Lu Desheng couldn't tell them some of his plans, so he could only nodded casually, accepting the other party's kindness.
In this compartment, as soon as Lu Desheng got up to see off the guests, Mrs. Jiang called Lu Songli, "Ah Li, come out, they are leaving."
After Lu Songli came out, Mrs. Jiang held her cold little hand and observed her face. Although it was still not rosy and not much blood, it was much better than last night. "Why are your hands still so cold? Come, drink a cup of hot water." I heard from Butler Chen that you just went fishing in the pond?"
Lu Songli took the cup with both hands and held it in her hands. The cup was warm and really comfortable, "The Xiaofeng courtyard is being cleaned and it's noisy. I have nothing to do, just fishing for fun."
"Let's have fun, just remember to wear more clothes when you are outside. Also, take the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhou on time." Mrs. Jiang warned. She already knew that Xiaofeng Xiaoyuan was being cleaned, and she also knew that her daughter had organized all the items sent by the Xie family into one place, and she just used the cleaning of Xiaofeng Xiaoyuan as a cover-up.
"Auntie, I know." Lu Songli finished her reply and lowered her eyes slightly.
It seems that the coldness in her body is not simple. Since ancient times, men belong to yang and women belong to yin. Women's constitutions mostly suffer from cold symptoms. Her hands and feet were cold, and she was not warm even while lying on the bed. At first, she thought it was because of her cold body and falling into the water. After all, October was late autumn, and the lake water was very cold at night.
Until now, she has taken several doses of medicine, but the chill in her body is still severe and does not get better.
She took her own pulse slightly. The cold in her body was very strong, and there was fire in the cold. This fire was virtual fire, and it was very stubborn and difficult to deal with. It could be cured by extraordinary anti-cold medicine. She found another opportunity to see the medicine that Doctor Zhou had prescribed for her last night. It included medicine for treating heart diseases and medicine for repelling cold. The proportion of anti-cold medicine was quite large, thus confirming her guess.
Lu Songli was keenly aware that her father and mother had not informed the original owner of her severe cold. The original owner always thought that the medicine she often took was just to treat heart disease.
Lu Songli rummaged through the original owner's memories and roughly understood why this body was so cold. When the original owner rescued Xie Zhan when he was a child, he soaked in ice water for too long and the cold air entered his body. To what extent is this cold air entering the body serious enough to harm the heirs? Lu Songli felt that this was the biggest reason why the Xie and Lu families got engaged in the first place. All because of the life-saving grace, there is no repayment. Only about this reason, only a handful of people knew about it, not even her herself.
She could understand Lu's father and Lu's mother's painstaking efforts after thinking about it for a moment. This news was too heavy for her daughter's family. People in this era focused on having more children and being blessed, so the original owner almost lost his fertility. The original owner's character is a bit weak. If he learns that he will be unable to have children in the future, he will not be ashamed of himself. I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
This disease is not difficult to treat. Before she came here, her great-grandfather was an old Chinese medicine doctor. The older generation pays attention to inheritance. When her great-grandfather was old, he wanted to pass on his skills well. Everyone in the family was picked over by him, and those who were talented were forced to learn Chinese medicine by him. Because of family planning, in her generation, there were only three surviving siblings. According to her great-grandfather, she was quite talented, so she was encouraged by her great-grandfather to learn Chinese medicine. During their school days, the three brothers and sisters were child laborers for their great-grandfather, doing everything from planting and processing medicinal materials. They were often taken by her great-grandfather to learn how to diagnose and feel the pulse.
This kind of life did not change until she went to college and majored in marketing. After making sure that she would not change her mind and choose to major in Chinese medicine, her great-grandfather let her go. She no longer had to work as a child laborer for her great-grandfather during the winter and summer vacations. Her two brothers were envious of her.
But she only had one summer vacation. Starting from the second summer vacation of college, she returned to her hometown to help her great-grandfather honestly.
For several years, Lu Songli couldn't believe that her stubborn great-grandfather would let her off so easily, until later she heard something her great-grandfather said about her from her eldest brother. Her great-grandfather said that she was too quick-thinking and impetuous to study medicine, so she could only learn a superficial knowledge, but it was difficult to go deep into it. But because of his sharp mind and clear mind, he wouldn't starve to death if he let her out to live on her own.
After passing these words, her eldest brother shut himself up.
Lu Songli was not angry at this comment. She knew who she was, she liked enjoyment, money and fame. Studying medicine is a relatively lonely path and is not suitable for her.
She likes sales, and she likes the sense of accomplishment of accumulating wealth through sales. It is a very interesting process of realizing knowledge, vision and wisdom through one's own efforts.
Of course, studying medicine can also lead to financial freedom. For a truly capable old Chinese medicine doctor like her old man, more and more people come to see him every day. There are even scalpers selling tickets, making a lot of money. It's just a little too slow. She's impatient and can't wait.
Later, after graduating from university, she worked in the pharmaceutical industry, and the products involved included traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. She took advantage of this convenience and took out her small coffers to buy some Chinese medicinal materials and made a lot of money. Western medicine and medical equipment were in deep water and she didn’t touch them. She also brought her two brothers with her. There was no other way, as they were the poorest brothers in the family, so they had to take care of them. She did not deny that her career success was partly due to her great-grandfather and her family. But her family had resources in this area, so why not make use of them? And her achievements also confirm what her great-grandfather said about her.
Closer to home, her illness is not difficult to treat, whether it is a cold syndrome or a heart disease.
Diseases in this era are very difficult, and there are often no good solutions. However, the medical level of later generations is the crystallization of thousands of years of civilization. Effective treatment methods have been developed to deal with various diseases.
Dr. Zhou's medical skills are considered to be the best in Chang'an City, but in Lu Songli's opinion, the prescriptions he prescribed are still lacking. This is a dimensionality reduction attack. In the words of her great-grandfather, she only has a superficial understanding of Chinese medicine, but she can actually change his prescription. She doesn't know what to say.
"What are you thinking about? So obsessed?"
"No."
Jiang suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, your eldest sister will send a message back at noon, asking you to go to Xu's house to see her when you have time. If you feel well, go and go. She, She probably heard about her falling into the water that night, but she couldn't get out during her confinement period, so I wanted you to go and see her." It just so happened that she was also thinking about her eldest daughter, who was in confinement this year. It was just over halfway, and she had already gone there twice. It was not good to go too frequently to save the Xu family from worrying, but it would be fine if the younger daughter went.
"She is in confinement. Why did the Xu family tell her this? Doesn't it make her anxious for nothing?" Lu Songli didn't think that her family couldn't handle this, and it was inappropriate for a pregnant woman to worry about it.
"The Xu family probably didn't tell her on purpose. The incident about you falling into the water has been widely circulated outside, so she probably learned about it accidentally. The Xu family isn't that mean-spirited either."
"Okay, I'll go see her early tomorrow morning."
"Go in the afternoon, it will be too cold in the morning."
"It's up to you."
