Chapter 011: Typhoid Fever
Lunch was served in Mrs. Yan's Baifu Hall.
According to the rules of the big family sleeping silently and eating silently, the grandfather and grandson ate this meal quite quietly. After lunch, Mrs. Yan went back to the room to take a rest, and Yan Suwen took the initiative to say goodbye with some eyesight. When I returned to Ning Xinzhai, I saw Yan Lu, the steward of Yan Mansion.
Yan Lu looked tired, thinking about it, the farce in Yan's mansion last night was indispensable for Yan Baishu to give him a reprimand. After all, he is the steward, and all the affairs in this house are related to him. Adhering to the principle of stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Yan Suwen gave Yan Lu a salute first. Yan Lu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked over, and helped Yan Suwen up.
"Second Miss, what are you doing?"
"Su Wen caused the trouble last night when he first arrived in the house, and the eldest uncle was afraid that it would ...... Su Wen blamed himself in his heart, and asked Yan to blame him. β
"Second Miss, where are you talking about? Last night, although I was not in Ningxinzhai, I also understood the whole incident. These three young ladies, I also grew up watching them since I was a child, and there are some things that I can't say clearly, but I still know it in my heart. The second lady must have been frightened last night. β
"It's a little frightening." Yan Suwen looked scared.
"The Yan family has always had a strict family style, and before the arrival of the second lady, there had never been such a thing." Yan Lu lowered his head: "This matter is Yan Lu's responsibility, and Yan Lu has not thought it through." β
"Yan Guan is serious, no one would have thought that the third sister would be so willful, let alone that subordinate would be so bold and hit this bad idea on his own young lady." Yan Suwen paused: "If you investigate the reason, this matter is also caused by factors." If it weren't for Su Wen inadvertently angering the third sister, the third sister wouldn't have joked about her innocence. In the final analysis, this matter is caused by factors, and if it is about responsibility, it is all about asking one person. When the eldest uncle was discouraged, Su Wen went to ask for his resignation. There are many inns in Yecheng, and there is always one suitable for Su Wen to settle down. β
"The second lady misunderstood, master, he had no such intention." Yan Lu's face changed: "The master asked me to come, just to reassure the second young lady, there will never be anything like last night in the future." β
"Su Wen can trust his eldest uncle, and he can also trust Yan Guanshi." Yan Suwen lightly blessed: "It's just that Suwen has always disliked being lively, and he doesn't want to cause the family to be restless because of himself, and the sisters are not compatible." β
"The second miss is serious, the fault of this matter lies with the third miss, and it has nothing to do with the second miss." Yan Lu arched his hand: "Just now, the second lady doesn't want to say those words again." When it reaches the ears of the master, the master will inevitably blame himself and be sad. β
Yan Su nodded sensibly, and Yan Lu's face was much more relaxed.
"There is a saying, if you ask a question, you don't know whether to ask or not." When he returned to Ning Xinzhai, Yan Suwen only felt that Yan Guan was tired, and the whole person seemed to have no energy.
Yan Lu is the steward of the Yan Mansion, it should be a common thing to stay up late with this lamp, and it is even more common to be reprimanded by the eldest uncle, so it is said that there should not be such a tired look. Look at him, he looks like he's suffering from some kind of emergency.
"Steward Yan is not feeling well?"
"It's a little uncomfortable." Yan Lu coughed lightly: "It's not a big deal." β
"Can you let me take a closer look?" Yan Su asked, and added: "I have studied medical books with my father and mother since I was a child, and I have read a lot of medical cases. I read the book, but I just read it, and my father and mother didn't allow me to show people at all. If Steward Yan doesn't have anything urgent at this time, can you let Su ask to take a look. β
Yan Suwen looked earnest, but Yan Lu couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to refuse.
"Judging from the pulse, Yan Guan has worked hard every day and lacks exercise, so that his body is weak and often attacked by diseases."
"There are a lot of things in the house, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence in your own body."
"Steward Yan's disease should have been contracted yesterday morning, and in the afternoon, the condition worsened slightly."
"Second Miss is right." Steward Yan nodded: "Early last morning, the master called me over, saying that the second lady was coming back." Although there are many vacant houses in this house, they have not been taken care of. Since it is for the second lady to live, it is not easy to deal with it casually, and all the items need to be carefully purchased. Come to think of it, it was at that time that I contracted the wind cold. When the second lady returned home, she was already feeling unwell, and when the second lady was properly placed, I also went back to the room to rest. In the afternoon, his condition worsened, and he went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine and came back. β
"What kind of medicine does Yan Guan use?"
"I can't remember, it's probably Xixin, Banxia or something. Although I was on an errand in Yanfu, I didn't have much research on this medicine, and I couldn't remember a few of them. β
"Does Yan Guan have symptoms of chills?"
"Yes."
"When your condition worsens, do you ever feel a headache and body ache?"
"Yes."
"Do you have chills in your limbs and a cough that doesn't stop at night?"
"Yes."
"That's right. I just checked the pulse of the steward Yan, and found that the steward's pulse was thin and tight, the tongue was light, and the tongue coating was thin and white, which were all symptoms of weakness and infection with wind and cold. Chills, fatigue, headaches, body aches, chills in the limbs, and coughing are all due to the cold. At this time, it is advisable to use some drugs that warm the meridians and dispel cold. Steward Yan has carried a prescription with him, can he let Su ask for this prescription? β
"I just took it with me, I was going to go out to get the medicine later." Yan Lu took out a piece of paper from the placket and handed it to Yan Suwen. After just one glance, Yan Suwen's face sank.
"What's wrong with this prescription?"
"There is no problem at a rough glance, and if you take medicine according to this prescription, you can get better in ten days and half a month."
"Ten days...... Half a month? Yan Lu pondered the meaning of these words.
"Borrow a prescription for the time being." Yan Suwen returned to the house with the prescription, found a pen and paper to brush and write a few lines, and handed it to Yan Lu: "I have based this prescription on it, but made some small adjustments. Steward Yan can take it to the pharmacy to see if this prescription is more effective. β
"It's ......"
"This first party, called Ma Xin Aconite Soup, first take six coins of Sichuan attached pieces and fry them in boiling water, and then add 2 coins of sesame mushroom, 1 money of fine spice, 1 money of Banxia, 1 money of Guangpi, 2 coins of fried magnolia, 1 money of raw licorice, 2 pieces of ginger, 9 pieces of jujube, and 1 piece of chicken gold, after taking it, you will feel that the body pain is reduced, the limbs are warmed up, and you feel phlegm in your throat when you cough. After the condition is relieved, adjust to the second party, which is the one I wrote below. After about three doses, you can adjust to a third party, and take three more doses, which is almost good. β
"Thank you, Second Miss!"
Yan Lu accepted the prescription, but looking at his expression, he knew that he didn't believe the three prescriptions that Yan Suwen adjusted. It doesn't matter if Yan Su asks, she is a doctor and has fulfilled the duties of a doctor, as for whether the patient follows the doctor's instructions and takes the medicine according to the prescription, it is not within the scope of her duties.
Seeing that Steward Yan had put away the prescription, Yan Suwen coughed lightly and said, "Suwen has another matter, and I want to ask Steward Yan about it." β
"Second Miss, please speak."
"Does Steward Yan know that it is the Gu family in Yecheng who is married to Su Wen?"
"Second Miss doesn't know?"
"I only know that the surname is Gu, my home is in Yecheng, what about my name, it sounds a bit nerdy, what is Gu Yanqing."
Gu Yanqing? Nerd!
In the entire Yecheng, probably only the second lady of their Yan family would think so.
Yan Lu touched his nose and lowered his body and said, "Before the second lady left, didn't the second master and the lady tell anything?" β
"I did." Yan Su asked and nodded: "My father said let me take a look casually, my mother said a few more words than my father, she said that the withdrawal of relatives is all up to my will, if I don't look down on that nerd, I will retreat, if I look at it, with my ability, I will naturally have a way to take it down." To be honest, I'm a little weak-hearted, and I don't know where my mother's confidence comes from. Therefore, I thought about it, it is better for me to withdraw from my relatives as soon as possible, so as not to delay other people's lives and affect the inheritance of other people's children. β
Yan Lu really coughed this time, and he coughed for a while before he arched his hand and said, "The second master and his wife don't know the identity of their son-in-law now. β
"What is Gu Yanqing's identity now?"
"He is the first powerful minister of our Northern Wei Dynasty." Yan Lu glanced in the direction of the imperial city: "The one who wants to divorce the second young lady is now the prime minister of our Northern Wei Dynasty." β
"Zai...... Prime Minister? Yan Su asked subconsciously took out the marriage book on his body: "My father and mother should have made a mistake about this marriage book, right?" β
"Mistaken?"
"That's right! According to my father's mother, this Gu Yanqing is not much older than me. I am sixteen this year, and this Gu Yanqing will not exceed thirty when he is full, and he will be a prime minister at the age of thirty? If there is, then the emperor is also big enough. β
Yan Lu began to cough again, coughing until his face was flushed, and then he said: "If what the master said is true, if the second miss's fiancΓ© is really Gu Yanqing, then he is the prime minister of our dynasty." Oh, and besides, the Prime Minister is only eight years older than the Second Miss. β
Twenty-four?
Prime Minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
Eighty percent of them are on the back door.
Yan Suwen immediately made up the image of a gentleman. She shook her head and asked Yan Lu very cautiously: "You say, is it easy for me to retire from this family matter?" β
Yan Lu shook his head and replied, "This, the little one doesn't dare to answer." β
"Forget it, I'll wait for the Gu family to take the initiative to come to the door to withdraw my kiss." Yan Suwen shrugged his shoulders slightly: "The Prime Minister's Mansion, it is estimated that it is not something that my little doctor girl can enter if she wants to." β
Yan Lu nodded, and said in his heart, don't look at these two young ladies from the countryside, but they can see things more clearly than the lady and the eldest lady. I think that at the beginning, the eldest lady of their family tried all her best to see Gu Xiang, but she couldn't even get close to the threshold of the prime minister's mansion. This lady is difficult to be the second lady, and eighty percent is also because of Gu Xiang. Her own daughter wanted to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she ran into a wall one after another, the second lady from the countryside was carrying a marriage book with Gu Xiang in her arms, no wonder Mrs. and the eldest lady had grievances, and even instigated the reckless third lady to come out and make trouble.
"If the second lady carries the marriage certificate, she must be able to enter." Yan Lu whispered.
