The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 36 36. Prescription

It gets dark earlier in Dongdu than in summer, and the lights have been turned on during dinner time. Now the entire Feng Mansion is brightly lit.

As soon as Feng Jinyao came back, she was called by Mrs. Feng's mother Bai to have dinner.

After taking cough medicine for more than half a month, Mrs. Feng's cough has already improved to seven or eight points. However, in order to catch the mole, she has to pretend to cough from time to time.

 The dinner was light because Feng Jinyao had some tea at Bai's house in the afternoon, so Feng Jinyao didn't eat much.

 On the contrary, Mrs. Feng ate more than she did because of her physical recovery.

 Mother Bai looked at her and finally showed a happy smile.

He glanced at Amber, who was waiting on the outer door, and his eyes were a little more thoughtful.

“Will you see your mother on this trip?” Mrs. Feng asked with concern.

Feng Jinyao shook her head and said softly, "Grandma went to Zheng Guogong's house, and my daughter only saw her eldest aunt, fourth aunt, and cousin Siruo."

It's a bit of a pity that it's hard for her to see people while she's ill, so we can only talk about it another time.

As soon as I put down the bowls and chopsticks in my hands, I saw the maid outside coming to report that the courtyard was tidied up.

Feng Jinyao was a little puzzled. Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "The gardener has cultivated a flower that can bloom in winter. I heard it is light purple and can be transplanted in two days."

“So fast? It seems that these gardeners are quite capable.”

In the yard, the maid and her mother-in-law have already prepared the land for transplanting flowers, but some details still need to be sorted out.

As he was speaking, Feng Hai opened the curtain and walked in, followed by a man from the plane.

Looking at that attire, it seems that he is an imperial doctor in the palace.

 “Father, are you back?”

"Hmm." I saw a man wearing a brown gown and a rat fur coat of the same color striding over.

 Her face, which is in her forties, is well-maintained, and she looks like he was cut out of the exact same mold as Feng Jinxu.

With calm eyes and a calm tone, he is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has developed a calm temperament over many years as an official and is neither impatient nor impatient.

When Feng Hai brought the imperial doctor, he saw mother and daughter chatting at the dinner table.

 “Can you please have dinner, sir?”

“I’ve eaten outside. Are you feeling better today, madam?”

 When talking to his wife, his tone of voice is much softer than usual.

“Much better, but it’s cold these days and I don’t want to go out.”

 It is normal for people who have been ill for a long time to be afraid of cold and heat.

“I’m afraid that your cough will last too long and damage your roots, so I specially invited Dr. Liu to come and take a look. He is the best at dealing with the symptoms of asthenic fire and cough.”

 “Master Feng is so complimentary.”

The doctor Liu who answered the question had just entered the hospital a few years ago. He was best at treating throat diseases. He was about forty years old, with regular features and a faint smell of herbs.

With everyone here, it was unjustifiable to treat the disease without diagnosing the pulse, so Mrs. Feng nodded slightly.

“Then I’ll trouble Dr. Liu.”

 “You’re welcome, madam, this is the duty of a humble minister.”

The maids and women quickly cleared away the dishes, and then stood respectfully outside to serve.

Hearing that Dr. Liu was diagnosing the pulse, Amber's brows furrowed slightly.

This time, Mama Bai noticed her, and her eyes became more fierce!

After taking pulse and asking for a diagnosis, Doctor Liu spoke slowly after a moment.

"My wife's health is not serious, but she is weak in the winter, weak on the outside and empty on the inside, and worried. It is inevitable that she will suffer from stagnation of liver qi and irritability and heat. She just takes good care of herself and takes medicine according to the prescription, about three doses. It will clear me up."       After taking the Ren family's medicine, it is naturally almost better.

 It’s just that the last imperial doctor’s medicine almost killed my mother. Who knows what the results of this one’s medicine will be.

Although Feng Jinyao had a smile on her face, she was thinking about how to replace the medicine.

 The mother and daughter looked at each other quietly, and they knew each other well.

On the other hand, Feng Hai and Doctor Liu seemed to be playing riddles.

The purpose of calling Dr. Liu this time was for a cough. Apart from anything else, the fact that there was no sign of improvement in two or three months was enough to worry Feng Hai.

So Feng Hai told Dr. Liu early on that he must not tell the truth to his wife, but only comforted her and took good care of her. The rest would be discussed with him in detail in private.

 Seeing Doctor Liu nodding slightly in subtle ways, he was really relieved.

The couple have been loving each other for many years, and now that they are middle-aged, they are at the age where they can take a break. They originally planned to take some time off to accompany her to Zhuangzi to play for a few days. Who knew that this disease would only last so many days, and it would take so long? People are very anxious.

After seeing the diagnosis, Dr. Liu considered it and wrote a prescription.

 The handwriting is neat and the medication is clear.

 Taking the prescription, Feng Jinyao glanced at it quickly.

Although she didn't know the properties of the medicine, it wouldn't be a problem to write it down. She would just go back and ask a doctor outside.

After memorizing it silently, he shouted to Amber outside and handed the prescription to her.

"You have always been responsible for mother's medicine. Just take the medicine according to the prescription. When mother recovers, I will naturally reward you for your hard work."

 “Thank you, Miss!”

Amber acted very happy, and her face was filled with pride at being praised by her master. Those who didn't know it thought she was really a simple-minded little girl.

 Looking at Mama Bai, Feng Jinyao felt relieved when she saw a reassuring sign in her old yet sharp eyes.

After bidding farewell to Imperial Physician Liu, Yun Xu followed him into the courtyard, with a somewhat serious look on his face.

Tell Feng Jinyao that some parts of the account book are unclear and ask her to go back and check them carefully.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Feng Jinyao understood that this girl had something to say alone, so she bowed slightly and saluted her parents.

“Since father is back, please stay with mother. My daughter will go back first and bring Yunhe over tomorrow. The child has told me several times that he misses his grandmother.”

Mrs. Feng didn't like her frail eldest daughter-in-law very much, but she loved her legitimate son very much.

　　When I think about the fact that my grandfather and grandson haven’t seen each other for many months, I can’t help but get red eyes.

"Okay, I also want to be very gentle. I was afraid that he would be sick a few days ago, so I didn't allow him to come. Now he's feeling better. As long as he's fine, he can come if he wants."

“Well, he will be happy if he knows the good news.”

 Feng Hai's serious face suddenly showed a smile of relief, his eldest grandson was indeed quite good.

But soon he thought of his second son again, and the smile that had just appeared immediately disappeared.

“Go, be careful on the road, and ask them to hold the lantern closer so they can see the road better.”

"yes."

The road was slippery on a snowy night, but there were lights along the way. Soon, the master and servant returned to Ning'an Courtyard. Feng Jinyao found an excuse to retreat, and then asked.

 “Yunxu, what happened?”
