Chapter 144: Pretending to be Sick
Mrs. Tong was sick, very sudden, and refused to see anyone.
Tong Qingyan didn't know the inside story, and the others didn't know either, but they were all stopped when they wanted to visit.
"Father's ......"
Tong Huaiyuan looked at the people standing in a courtyard and shook his head silently.
"The old lady has spoken, she can only trust your aunt, and as soon as your aunt comes to the capital, she will immediately invite the Tong Mansion, you can rest assured, the old lady's body can support it."
Tong Huaiyuan's rhetoric made everyone's hearts relaxed, as a well-known filial son, if he can wait for Doctor Bai to come to Beijing so calmly, the old lady should not have much of a problem.
Tong Huaishan listened to his eldest brother's words, and no longer insisted, turning around to leave.
Zhou grabbed her husband's sleeve and whispered up.
"Big brother said so, are you really leaving? In case the old lady has something, only the eldest brother is here to guard her, and if you spread the word, do you still want to be a man! ”
Tong Huaishan looked at Zhou, then at the closed door, shook off her hand, and snorted lightly.
"I'll listen to what my mother and eldest brother arrange, don't think about it all day long, if you have this kung fu to go back and take stock of the accounts, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to play tricks with you here."
"Tricks?! You mean I'm playing tricks?! I'm not worried that my eldest brother is working too hard to guard his mother alone, you... Don't go, eh......"
The Zhou family chased Tong Huaishan and left, and the remaining housekeepers also left with interest, only Tong Qingyan and Tong Manji had not left.
"Alright, you guys go back too, I'll be fine here. I have already sent a message from the Wen family, and Dr. Bai will come directly to Tong's Mansion as soon as he enters Beijing, so you don't have to worry. ”
Tong Huaiyuan walked down the steps and looked at his daughter and niece with a smile, without the slightest worry about Mrs. Tong's illness.
Tong Manji saw that her father and mother were gone, and it was not easy to stay, Tong Qingyan's hand in her hand was sweaty, a little sticky and wet.
"Third sister, I'll go back first, you can also relax and go back to Hanlian Garden as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his palms for Tong Qingyan, before curtsying and leaving the Pine Birch Garden.
"Dad, there's no one around now, is Grandma really okay?"
Looking at Tong Qingyan's dark eyes, Tong Huaiyuan saw himself in those eyes stretching out his hand and rubbing the forehead hair of the little girl in front of him.
"It's really okay, your grandmother has been eating too much and eating miscellaneous for a while, and it's a little ...... Poor excretion, you know. Grandmother is too old to be embarrassed to tell the truth, your aunt will be in the capital soon, just wait for her to come and see it. ”
"If that's the case, don't wait for my aunt to come, I'll go to my cousin now, his medical skills are more than enough for this."
"Eh, wait a minute, are you in a hurry?! What is your cousin's status now, and you should call him to your house to show your grandmother...... One aspect of the question, do you think it's appropriate?! ”
Tong Qingyan was asked, and finally could only look at the closed door and nodded.
"Well, if there's anything Grandmother wants to eat, send someone to tell me at once, and I'll make it myself."
"Okay, okay, let's go back and rest first, your grandmother shouldn't have anything special to eat for the time being, don't worry, go back, there is a father."
"Okay."
After Tong Qingyan also left, Tong Huaiyuan knocked on the door and entered.
"All gone?"
"Yes, I was persuaded by my son to leave, and the girl was the most stubborn, so she finally left."
Tong Huaiyuan found a chair at random and sat down, looking at the old lady sitting on the edge of the bed who was completely fine.
"Doctor Zhou, how did you check?"
"It's just a sitting doctor, his temper is not very good, but his medical skills are good, and the people he sees are convinced."
"And where did it come from?"
"He didn't explain the way he came over, he may have been in the capital Jishitang for many years, and he has been optimistic about many diseases for so many years, and he never mentioned increasing his salary, so Jishitang has been accepting him as a sitting doctor."
"Don't have a wife or children?"
"No, I've been alone, and some people said that he didn't agree to the matchmaking in the early years."
"That's a ......"
Mrs. Tong didn't say any more, if what Dr. Zhou suddenly came out of, if what he said was really true, he was the nephew of Old Doctor Bai, it was really not good news.
Tong Huaiyuan couldn't see his mother's miserable appearance, and comforted him.
"When Bai Lingxian arrived in the capital, her mother knocked on the side and asked when she saw her, if she didn't know anything, then she would have nothing to worry about when she saw Zhou He."
"Okay, listen to you, wait."
Before deciding to pretend to be sick, the mother and son had already discussed, and originally planned to invite Dr. Zhou directly, but they were afraid of mistakes, so they still held back.
Wen Qi learned from Tong Qingyan that Mrs. Tong was sick and planned to visit her, but she heard that the old lady refused to see anyone, so she had to dispel the idea of visiting and went to Jishitang to find Zhou He instead.
As soon as Zhou He heard that Wen Qi was coming to find him, he ran to a steamed bun stall near Jishitang and ordered a drawer of steamed buns, and ate two bites of steamed buns with chicken soup before asking.
"What you said is too general, I can't prescribe medicine casually if I don't take the pulse, if something goes wrong, it will cost people's lives, no, no, I can't agree."
Wen Qi shook the hot bun and looked at Zhou He with a look of disbelieving.
"Isn't it constipation, how can it be so scary?! Wouldn't it be nice if you prescribed a few gentler prescriptions, and helped the old man go smoothly. ”
Considering that she still had to eat steamed buns and drink chicken soup, Wen Qi swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
"Hey-you kid also studied medicine, so I don't think you can hold your grandfather's coffin board."
"I know, don't you just want to say that this constipation is also divided into situations, there are symptoms of real heat and spleen deficiency, and you can't prescribe medicine if you don't want to hear it. I didn't plan to ask you to prescribe a prescription, I just wanted you to prescribe a few herbs for me, and I would give it to my cousin. ”
Zhou He glanced at Wen Qi and pursed his lips impatiently.
"What can the little girl do, take those few herbs to make a medicinal meal for the old lady to eat? No matter how mild the medicine is, it is also a medicinal material, anyway, I will never prescribe any medicine for a patient I have never met, you have the ability to get the medicinal materials yourself. ”
Wen Qi is not so confident in his medical skills, and after all, he is an old lady, so he still doesn't dare to act casually, Zhou He has been practicing medicine for many years after all, and Wen Qi thought of him for the first time.
Seeing that Zhou He refused to agree to himself, Wen Qi also gave up this time to offer courtesy, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to send medicinal materials to get some more delicious food, but it seemed that it was no fun.
"Your mother hasn't arrived in the capital yet?"
"Oh, it's coming, it should be there tomorrow, you don't have to be in a hurry, my mother and they have to take care of their home first when they arrive in the capital. I will take the matter of arranging for you to meet my mother. ”
has been in the capital for so many years, and Zhou He is not very anxious, but he doesn't know why he has always been a little restless in the past two days, but fortunately, he will be able to see Uncle Shi's daughter soon.
