Chapter 492: Recuperation
Xie Mulin temporarily settled down in the Xie family's mansion.
Xie Yinghui received a message from her brother yesterday, so she ordered someone to clean up a room in her yard for Xie Mulin to live in. Anyway, there were a dozen or so people under her command, and the courtyard was very empty.
Although there are still vacant houses in Jin Xuantang, Mrs. Xie has been away for a long time, and there are few people in the courtyard, and Mrs. Jiang is negligent in taking care of it, and the environment is not as good as that provided by Xie Yinghui. Xie Mulin doesn't have to bother with anything else, just be a companion with the eldest sister and take care of her body, or watch the girls pack up their things, and it is more convenient to live in the same hospital.
Xie Mulin said that he wanted to condition Xie Yinghui's body, but he didn't just talk about it. Xie Yinghui has seen a doctor several times, and she also asked the doctor to check the pulse, and the medical case has been left behind. Xie Mulin doesn't know medicine, but he can do it by flipping through medical books, and he can roughly judge that Xie Yinghui is tired and weak, and her body is wrong. This problem is not unpalatable, you only need to make up for the missing nutrients, eat and sleep well, and slowly you can recuperate.
Xie Yinghui has been taking the tonic prescribed by the imperial doctor, but there is no meal, and it is not regular. She is used to being the eldest lady, even if she has turned against the Cao family now, her nature has not changed much, and she has always been unable to allow her subordinates to disobey her. She was self-willed, she refused to take medicine when she didn't want to eat, and the people around her didn't dare to persuade her, so the medicine prescribed by the doctors and doctors was obviously good, but it worked very slowly on her. She didn't care about it herself, and thought it was normal. Dr. Yan once advised her to relax and remember to take medicine, but she didn't take it to heart.
Xie Mulin decided to watch her take tonic medicine every day, not allowing her to be willful anymore, and let the kitchen people prepare more nutritious fresh food, forcing her to eat it every day. Xie Mulin asked himself that he had Xie Xianzhi in his hand, which was enough to persuade Xie Yinghui to be obedient.
Eating and drinking enough, with a moderate amount of exercise, and ten days of hard work, even if a patient can't be reborn, it is enough to make Xie Yinghui's body a little stronger.
Xie Mulin also noticed that Xie Yinghui was depressed, but the Cao family's approach was not something that she could change as an outsider, so she could only chat with Xie Yinghui more, divert the latter's attention, and make her feel happier.
In order to make Xie Yinghui more cooperative, Xie Mulin immediately sent someone back to the inn outside Sanshan Gate to contact Xie Xianzhi and explain to him the situation at home and Xie Yinghui's problem. Xie Xianzhi immediately replied to the letter, and instructed a lot of things in detail in the letter, asking his sister to do it. Xie Mulin read the letter to Xie Yinghui, Xie Yinghui was so verbose that she couldn't stand it, and repeatedly said that she would be obedient, and asked Xie Mulin to stop reading the letter and leave it to her to read for herself.
Since dinner that day, Xie Yinghui has been much more honest, and is willing to eat normally under Xie Mulin's urging and drink medicine normally at night. Xie Mulin also urged her to go to bed early and get up early, and by the way, she went to Jin Xuantang to urge Xie Yingrong. After the two sisters were put to sleep, she went back to her room to settle in.
When she woke up early the next morning, Xie Yinghui's spirit improved. Lu Qi took the opportunity to speak: "Eldest Miss, look, the second Miss's words really make sense. You've only been doing this all night, and you're looking much better today. Every day after that, you have to eat well, take your medicine on time, and go to bed early, just like you did yesterday. In this way, when you leave Beijing, you won't feel that the road is hard! ”
Xie Yinghui smiled slightly: "Long journey, where is there nothing that is not hard?" However, it is naturally better to suffer less than to go back all the way in pain. You don't have to persuade me more, can I still not know what to do? ”
Xie Mulin let her eat more light and digestible hot porridge and noodles for breakfast, and she could add some whole grains appropriately, and it was best to add a bowl of hot milk. Although Xie Yinghui has always disliked these rough foods and does not like to drink milk, she still ate them obediently, which surprised Xie Mulin and felt that his plan should be easier to complete than expected.
When it was close to noon, Xie Mulin stopped supervising the work of the girls and mothers-in-law to clean up Xie Yinghui's things, and went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes for lunch, and took advantage of the sun to show his face in the clouds and the temperature outside rose a little, urging Xie Yinghui to walk around the yard a few times and move his body.
Although Xie Yinghui cooperated and did so, she also felt troublesome: "Why do you want me to suffer this sin? Aren't we going all the way back by boat? You just said yesterday that our old family has a wharf. There is a pier in front of this mansion, where is the time when I need to walk? ”
Xie Mulin snorted: "Could it be that I let you out to practice walking just to let you come out for activities?" You've been sick for so long, you've been stuck in the house all day without moving, what strength do you have after a long time? I'm afraid that you won't even be able to stick to the rituals in the Bao'en Temple. If you think that's okay......"
Xie Yinghui didn't wait for her to finish, and then interrupted her: "Got it! It's good to come out and bask in the sun, and then I can get better quickly. ”
Xie Mulin didn't bother to correct her strange concept of disease prevention and control, anyway, basking in the sun can supplement calcium, which is indeed good for minors like her, whatever she thinks.
After lunch, Xie Mulin urged Xie Yinghui to go to sleep again.
Xie Yinghui smiled and said to Lu Qi: "Look, what does the second girl think of me?" All day long, they either urged me to eat and drink, or told me to sleep. People who don't know think she's raising pigs! But when she said that, she immediately sensed that something was wrong, "Bah, bah! What to raise pigs? She's a pig! ”
Xie Mulin didn't argue with her about who was the pig, but only urged Lu Qi to make the bed quickly: "You keep an eye on her, you have to sleep for at least half an hour." I'll go to my third sister's place first, and I'll get some sleep when I get back." ”
Xie Yinghui yawned, and did feel a little sleepy: "What are you doing with the three girls?" Beware of her making a fuss about going out again, begging the girl to go back, or going to Bian's house to quit or something. The nice words come in one set, as if we all think that we are stupid and can't see what she wants to do. ”
Xie Mulin said: "As long as she can take care of her body and support the completion of the journey back to her hometown, she can't use her physical condition as an excuse to slow down everyone's pace, I don't care what she has in mind!" Just don't give her a chance to go out. Cheng Du's family began to kiss him, and when his family affairs were settled, the third sister left the capital again, no matter how many thoughts he had, it was useless. ”
Xie Yinghui sneered: "Then it's better to write a letter to my father and ask him to set up a family affair for the three girls in Beiping, and directly send people over to prepare for marriage; Or simply ask the elders of the clan to call the shots and choose people for her. When the major events of her life have been settled, and she can't make any more bad things, she can really stop! ”
Xie Mulin glanced at her: "It's not that the marriage is decided, but it can't be changed, why bother harming innocent people?" Instead of forcing the third sister to marry someone she doesn't want to marry, and telling her to do everything possible to toss everyone and the person who is married to her, so as to break the marriage contract, it is better to let her keep her at home until she takes the initiative to say that she wants to marry? It's not like our family can't afford her bowl of rice. ”
Xie Yinghui listened in a daze: "Won't it?" But when I thought of my marriage, I suddenly had nothing to say.
After the afternoon nap, Xie Yinghui was a little wilted, Xie Mulin thought about chatting with her about family conversations, but before she started, Cai Laotian's family came to report: "Miss Ma came to the door and said that she wanted to visit the eldest lady." ”
