Chapter 6 Peeling back the cocoon
"Jing Hu said, your sister is still sick, don't disturb her." Glaring at Wu Zixu, Mrs. Wu handed the porcelain bowl to Cuiping.
Squeezed his eyes at Wu Zixu, who was preached by Mrs. Wu, Wu Tianrou smiled gloatingly in the back.
"You bad girl, you know that you watch your brother being scolded!" Looking at Wu Tianrou's much more delicate and agile expression than before, Wu Zixu couldn't help laughing.
The three of them laughed a few words, and the green branch walked in.
"Madam, Dr. Chen is here."
"Quickly invite Dr. Chen in." Shouting outside, Mrs. Wu stood up and asked Cui Ping to step forward and put down the curtain on Wu Tianrou's bed.
As soon as the curtain was put in place, footsteps sounded outside the screen, and then a lean old man in his fifties walked in.
"I've seen Mrs. Wu, Mr. Wu."
"Doctor Chen doesn't have to be so polite, let's take a look at Rou'er's body first."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mrs. Wu waved her hand at Dr. Chen.
"Okay, then I'll ask for a pulse for the eldest lady below."
Sitting on the embroidery pier brought by Cuizhi, Dr. Chen took out a silk handkerchief from the medicine box and put it on Wu Tianrou's snow-white wrist stretched out from the curtain, and then put the fingers of his right hand on it.
Dr. Chen held his pulse with his right hand, and his left hand couldn't help but habitually stroke his beard, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Mrs. Wu and Wu Zixu all looked at him nervously, not daring to make a sound to interfere with Dr. Chen's diagnosis.
It wasn't until the tea was over that Dr. Chen withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.
"How?"
Mrs. Wu immediately asked nervously, for fear that there was really something wrong with Wu Tianrou's body.
"Hehe, madam, please rest assured, the eldest lady is young after all, and her body is good, so there is no big problem." Stroking his beard, Dr. Chen smiled at Mrs. Wu, and then couldn't help frowning.
"It's just that for some reason, the eldest lady actually seems to be worried and too angry, I guess this is the reason why the eldest lady has a nightmare."
"Worried? She has a lot of talents, what can she do! ”
After listening to Dr. Chen's words, Wu Zixu couldn't help but laugh without waiting for Mrs. Wu to speak.
"You girl has been old since she was a child, and she has a lot of thoughts, what do you think of?"
Retracting her arm into the tent, Wu Tianrou's face hidden behind the curtain couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"What's on my mind, I've just been thinking about some birthday gift for my grandmother lately."
"Rou'er is much more sensible, but even if it's for the sake of the old lady's birthday, don't think too much and make yourself tired!"
Knowing that it was not a serious illness, Mrs. Wu finally let go of her worries.
"Please also ask Dr. Chen to prescribe a prescription to recuperate, this child has been like this since he was a child, and he likes to think about everything he does. Hehe......"
"Madame, don't worry, the eldest lady is not a serious illness, just recuperate, and you don't need to take any medicine, I will prescribe a dietary prescription for the young lady, and it will be fine after a few days."
Doctor Chen will not say much about other people's family affairs, and a doctor with superb medical skills like him is often invited to the mansion and has seen all the situations, so he naturally understands that other people's affairs must not be involved in the matter, so as to protect himself.
After picking up the pen and prescribing the prescription for dietary therapy, Wu Zixu personally sent Dr. Chen out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then returned to Wu Tianrou's room.
"Okay, mother, you see that the doctor said that I am fine, you can rest assured that you can go back and rest, otherwise your father will come back in a while, and you will have no energy at all, how can you take care of your father."
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was still worried and unwilling to leave, Wu Tianrou couldn't, so she had to move out of her father Wu Yunyang.
As soon as she heard Wu Yunyang, Mrs. Wu raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside, it was already early at this time, and it was estimated that Wu Yunyang should go down in some time.
After thinking about it for a while, and looking at Wu Tianrou's good spirit, Mrs. Wu finally nodded.
"Okay, then the mother will go back, I'll come to see you later, you have a good rest first, don't run around these days."
After carefully admonishing two words, Mrs. Wu left with no peace of mind, and took Wu Zixu away. "Your sister needs to rest a lot, so don't bother her, hurry back to finish your schoolwork, and save your father from coming back to teach."
Listening to Mrs. Wu's voice getting farther and farther away, Wu Tianrou couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"Miss, you better take a rest, Cuiqin will cook the medicinal food according to Dr. Chen's recipe, and it will take a while to make it."
The cushions were rearranged, and Cuiping helped Wu Tianrou to lie down.
"Miss, there is a result."
When she got close to Wu Tianrou, Cui Ping hurriedly reported the results of her brother's investigation last night to her.
"How?"
Hearing Cui Ping's words, Wu Tianrou immediately sat up straight.
"There are indeed signs of human prying on the slate, and vegetable oil has been poured on the moving slate. Although it has been cleaned, it has not been cleaned and still leaves traces. Glancing towards the door, Cui Ping said in a low voice.
"And this, my brother found this in the grass by the lotus pond." Cui Ping took out an object from his arms and handed it to Wu Tianrou.
Wu Tianrou took it and opened it to see that it was a silk handkerchief. The handkerchief was stained with some oil, and the word 'Allure' was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief.
"Good, great! Take note of your brother's great merit and let him take up a post at the Purchasing Office today. Holding the handkerchief, Wu Tianrou curled the corners of her lips, revealing a sneer.
The prime minister's house also has its own embroidered girl, basically the ladies and ladies are made of embroiderers, so the style is unified, but the name of the lady will be embroidered on the corner to distinguish it. Moreover, according to the division of each season, the handkerchiefs made are different in terms of material and color.
This square handkerchief is a few days ago, just from the embroidery girls to get back the new handkerchief, the same color, Wu Tianrou also has a piece.
Now the handkerchief with oil stains and the name of Allure embroidered on it is the best evidence.
Now that you have something, all that's left is to plan and plan.
"Miss, Mother Wu is back." Cuizhi picked up the curtain and ran in happily.
Wu's mother is Wu Tianrou's nurse, and some time ago, the eldest child in the family was seriously ill, so Wu Tianrou gave her some silver and some nourishing herbs to let her go back to take care of her son.
"Cuizhi, how many times have you said that you must be steady, otherwise you will lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion if you go out." A gentle but stern voice came, which immediately made Wu Tianrou's eyes wet.
Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a blue dress, slightly chubby, and meticulously combed hair, walking in with a smile on her face.
