Chapter 201: Careful Probe
he fled with them during their escape.Even with the Li family taking care of them in the deep mountains and old forests, life was not comfortable. They couldn't eat well and they didn't sleep soundly...In a moment, Zhang Shini's skilled hands removed the golden needles. The pain vanished from Wang Yuanwai's face, and the tight frown on his brow eased.
The divine doctor Zhang handed another prescription to the official, saying, "Take this as directed, one dose per day. After seven days, we'll see how you're doing and adjust the prescription accordingly. But don't stop acupuncture." 。If you don't want to die, come find me at this time every day. 。Having said that, he was about to go out when Li Laotai stopped him. 。"Doctor Zhang, there's one more thing. The boss also brought a child over, who seems to have caught a cold. Could you take a look at him too" 。“Well then,” Zhang, the divine doctor, replied. “I’m already here anyway.” 。"
Wang Yuanwai thought of his youngest son and hurried to his feet. He bowed deeply to Li Laotai, wanting to address her but unsure how. He could only say, “No matter whether I remember this in the future or not, I must express my deepest gratitude for your kindness today.” 。“
Lao Li’s eyes turned red, she desperately held back her tears and shook her head with a smile, “Knowing that you are alive and well, Mama feels that all those years of worrying about you were not in vain.” 。Go and get well first, everything will wait until you are better. 。" Mr. Wang once again bowed, nodding to everyone in the room before leading Dr. Zhang towards the wooden hut. 。Li Laoer couldn't bear to just let it go like that, he hurried after him, whether he could help or not, he wanted to stay with his elder brother for a while longer. 。 Mr. Wang's youngest son was only six years old. After soaking in the hot spring, perhaps he warmed up, and the stuffy nose and headache caused by the cold wind eased. At this moment, he was already lying asleep in the inner room of the wooden house. 。The couple of servants brought by Master Wang, one guarding beside the kang and the other outside. 。Seeing Wang Yuanwai return, they were all delighted. They had been worried that their master would not return and were about to go looking for him. 。Wang Yuanwai nodded to them, then led Dr. Zhang and Lao Er Li into the house. 。The divine doctor Zhang took the child's wrist to feel his pulse, then gently opened the child's mouth to examine their tongue coating. Finally, he took out a needle case, changed to a silver needle, and quickly inserted it. 。The child must have been tired from playing in the water. He slept soundly, even though he was a little sore, and I didn't wake him up. 。Zhang the divine doctor sat down and whispered to Wang the county magistrate, "Don't worry, the child just has a common cold. After a while of sweating, he'll be much better." 。This child was just a little underdeveloped in the womb, and his body is weak. He needs to be nurtured for a year and a half. 。Don't feed too meticulously on weekdays, and play outdoors in the sun more. 。Mr. Wang nodded repeatedly, carefully recording it down. 。Zhang Shenyi said again, "Wait a moment, I'll write you a prescription. Take one dose a day and eat it for three days to clear the child's wind-cold first. Then we can change to tonic recipes and nourish him slowly." 。"Mr. Wang stood up and bowed deeply in thanks. Zhang waved his hand, then looked at the sleeping child, whose forehead was already covered in a layer of sweat." 。The maid was surprised and quickly took a towel to wipe, but the more she wiped, the wetter he became. Soon, the child looked like he had been pulled out of the water, his clothes all soaked. 。Zhang Shenyi then removed the silver needles and left without looking back. 。Wang Yuanwai wanted to give more, but the child opened his eyes and said, "Dad, you're back. Come play with me at the pond! There are so many people there." 。"Okay, okay, wait until you're better, we can go anywhere." 。"Mr. Wang quickly took his son to the bathroom." 。The two of them soaked in the hot springs, playing and washing away their sweat. After changing into clean clothes, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San brought over the dishes and medicine prescription. 。Two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, along with two bowls of rice, aren't some exotic delicacies, but they are beautifully presented and smell delicious. 。Li Laosan, honest and meek, spoke in a low voice, "This is Lao Si's daughter-in-law's skill. Mother said the child has a cold and fever, so she didn't let him eat egg custard." 。“The servants' meals are also here, you guys just eat well.” 。Mr. Wang put the prescription away, took the tray back to the table, and personally escorted them out. 。All three brothers were a little cautious and reserved, as if afraid of making a bad impression on each other. 。At last, Wang [Surname] said, “Take good care of your old lady. Let’s talk about everything when I recover.” 。If I were truly a member of the Li family, for all the past debts, I would certainly make amends tenfold in the future. 。If I wasn't a Li family member, we...we would become sworn brothers, and we could rely on each other in the future. 。"
Good 。Li Lao'er and Li Lao'san had sore noses, red eyes, and quickly said goodbye and left. 。The middle-aged attendant standing on the side listened, completely bewildered, but didn't open his mouth to ask. 。Wang Yuanwai thought for a moment, then instructed in a few words, "Wang Fu, you and your wife are the most trusted people in my house. After today's affair, don't say more when you go back." 。If... If your mistress inquires, just say that you only saw me taking the doctor to see Cat'er and giving him a prescription. Don't mention anything else. 。“ Lord, rest assured. My wife and I were saved by you, so we will only serve you. 。Mr. Wang helped him up, "There's no need to be so nervous. You should come visit me often from now on." 。"
Wang Fu quickly agreed, and Wang Yuanwai went into the house to eat with his child.
The food tasted very good. Mao Ge'er ate quite a bit, which also whetted Wang Yuanwai's appetite. The two of them almost finished all four dishes. 。When the sun began to set, they had to go back. 。At the foot of the mountain, only Li Lao Er and Li Lao San saw them off. There was no sign of Li Lao Tai. Wang Yuanwai obviously let out a breath of relief...Thirty miles, it only took half an hour to get there. 。At the entrance of Wang's courtyard, gossiping housewives were peering about. Finally seeing the carriage return, they rushed back to spread the news. 。Wang Yuwai carried his son out of the carriage and as soon as they stepped through the second gate, a beautiful woman with a boy of seven or eight years old came out to greet them. 。A beautiful woman in her twenties or thirties, the only daughter of the Wang family, Queen E. 。In her prime, she was alluring and voluptuous. Dressed in a silver-and-red gown, she was even more captivating. 。She stepped forward and took the little son, glaring at Wang Yuanwai with displeasure, "Where did you go You've been gone for a whole day!" 。Before Wang Yuanwai could reply, Mao Ger called out, "Daddy, take me to the hot springs! They're so much fun, and we had delicious food!" 。"Mother, you and your brother should go too!"
Wang Yuanwai took his eldest son Li Ge'er's hand and replied, "I'll take Mao Ge'er to see a doctor."
“
Wang E’s face stiffened visibly, but she quickly covered it up. She probed cautiously, “So, have you found a doctor Why did you go to the hot springs again”
By this time, they had reached the main hall in the back courtyard. The family sat down, and Wang Yuanwai said, “I heard there’s a newly built hot spring resort. I thought of taking Cat Brother to soak and dispel the cold. Maybe it would cure his wind-chill.” 。As a result, there was a renowned doctor there, whose skills were said to be exceptional. 。“'Divine Doctor'” Wang E sneered, “Such a title is mostly bogus.” 。"That's not the case this time," Wang Yuwai said, looking at her dabbing her handkerchief with her eyes unclear, but a smile on his face as he replied: "I heard that the divine doctor is very skilled. I asked the divine doctor to feel the pulse of Cat Brother and prescribed him a prescription." 。"As he spoke, he took out the prescription and said, “You have someone take a look at it. If there’s no problem, give it to Cat-Brother." 。This child was born weak, so he was given the nickname "Mao Ge'er" (Cat Brother) during infancy. This name was chosen to borrow a bit of luck from the cat's nine lives, hoping for his safe upbringing. 。It's a shame, he's not being cooperative either. I hope this time things can improve slowly. 。“ Since you’ve run into a divine doctor, why don’t you have him take a look at your headache”s small courtyard. She had a plan in mind and patted her hand with a smile. 。Jia Yin stood with her ears perked, listening secretly and couldn't help but giggle. 。Actually, even when she was still on...
