Chapter 19 Situation (below)
After half a moment, the gentleman got up and went to the outer room with the First Mistress to write a prescription.
The First Mistress ordered someone to bring tea over, after Mr. took a sip of tea, the First Mistress anxiously asked, "Can our Second Sister's illness still be cured?"
Mr. pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth, "In my opinion, the second miss this disease, although the childhood cold is the cause of the disease, but it is also congenital insufficiency to this state of affairs, over the years must not be less than toning."
The first wife said: "Yes, the family is invited a lot of Langzhong, ginseng and these things are not less, but no matter how to eat, this disease does not see any great improvement, spring and summer is better, as long as the autumn and winter seasons, even bed can not get up."
Mr. nodded, "the second young lady's disease will not suddenly become this ......" said looking to the first wife, "whether there is a turn for the better over the years?"
The first wife's heart trembled, the heart suddenly gave birth to an evil fire, in the way of Mr. in, but not good to attack, only sank his face, "a few years ago, invited a famous bone-setter, the prescription is extremely good, see in addition to the root of the disease, who knows," the first wife sighed, seems to be sad, just the eyes are mixed with indignation, "her fifth sister's life is thin, and she is not a good person. "Her fifth sister's life is thin accidentally went, this is just, but tired of her, our second sister is a sentimental person, they have always been very good sister, this time, it broke her."
Mr. listened carefully, "This is right, this disease is most avoided labor, too much thinking is not to be, the heart is high and smart people always have this kind of disease, to always relax the heart, store blood and nourish the gas, this disease will also be able to see the good."
The first wife's heart was immediately happy, "Your Excellency means that this disease can be cured?"
The gentleman thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "There is a medicine above that can cure this illness."
The first wife looked over, the gentleman's gaze flickered and seemed to be pointing, the first wife's heart immediately understood a few points.
"If there is this medicine as a guide, and then with some other herbs, eat for a few months, and nourish your body and mind according to the method I mentioned, this disease will be able to get better by eighty percent."
Hearing this, the First Mistress couldn't help but feel mixed emotions, "The medicine you mentioned?"
Mr. Li lifted his pen and wrote on a piece of paper, handing it to the First Mistress, "This medicine is unavailable in the private sector, Mrs. Li must find a way to obtain this medicine, so that this prescription of mine can be useful."
The first wife hurriedly thanked the gentleman, the gentleman also wrote the prescription, before leaving, repeatedly instructed, "Although the medicine is important, but the nourishment is fundamental, this disease must not be delayed any longer."
The first wife sent Mr. out the door, and offered to thank the silver, who knew that Mr. repeatedly refused to accept, the first wife and busy people to send a delicate contraption, is a former dynasty pastel peony lotus snuff bottles, Mr. just look at it, and then no more excuses.
The first wife saw the gentleman put away, heart suddenly relieved, the master specially sent people back to tell her, ordinary things are not able to impress the gentleman, easy to beg people to come, can not let people think that the pottery house courtesy is not good, or in the future can never be relations.
After sending the gentleman away, First Mistress and Chen Mama return to Second Miss's house.
Chuxiao has already put the curtain away, the second young lady half leaning on the bed, a few days do not see seems to have reduced some, pale face without blood, a pair of wonderful eyes with smoke, lip color is very light, but still have a thin and quiet beauty.
The first wife sighed, there are so many young ladies in this house, the fifth young lady that the wrongdoing bias and Yaohua resembles.
Dongrui took the brocade stool, the First Mistress sat beside Yaohua, reached out to hold Yaohua's hand, immediately felt Yaohua's fingertips cold, the First Mistress couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "The second young lady is afraid of the cold, how come you don't add more warmers to the fireplace?"
Yaohua was busy laughing, "I already added two at my feet, mother knows, my disease is like this, adding more or less is useless." Said an itchy throat couldn't help but cough a few times.
The first wife is even more sad, "If you can get well from this disease, let me reduce my life I am also willing."
Yaohua hurriedly hold the hands of the first wife, "mother quickly do not say so, the daughter so that the mother worry all day has been uneasy, mother again, I will be more ashamed, if the mother can be well, even if I die ......" words suddenly choked.
The first wife is already red corner of the eye, the first wife is afraid of Yaohua see her sad more sad, and hastily used the sleeve to wipe the eyes, showing a smile, "You look at me, today was supposed to be an excellent thing to tell you ......" The first wife paused, " Just now that gentleman gave you a look and said that your illness is curable."
Yaohua forced a smile, "I've seen a lot of bone-setters over the years, but they're all useless."
The First Mistress glances at Mama Chen by her side, Mama Chen knowingly sends Chuxiao to stand guard outside, don't let any idle people in.
The First Mistress said, "This time it's different, it's the one your sister invited from the palace, but it's one of the best eunuchs in front of His Majesty." Saying that, her face is full of hope, "As long as this eunuch says that it can be cured, there is definitely hope, you just need to take good care of your body, in a few months is sure to see results."
Yaohua's face also finally revealed a trace of vigor.
First Mistress patted Yaohua's hand, "There is just one thing, the Imperial Doctor has instructed you that your illness is most afraid of labor," here she said and sank her face, "If it wasn't for what happened to your fifth sister before, I'm afraid your illness would have been cured already."
"It's not easy to encounter such a good opportunity again, you can't make any more mistakes, you don't care about the matters in the mansion in the future, just rest assured that you are recovering from your illness, I have my own outside, as long as you get well, let me take what I am willing to exchange." First Mistress's hand couldn't help but tighten.
Seeing Yaohua smile and nod her head, only then does the First Mistress sigh in relief, turning her head and explaining to Chuxiao again, "In the future, the matters in the mansion will be less mentioned in front of Second Miss."
Chuxiao knows the power in this and hastily agrees.
The First Mistress and Yaohua talk for a while, and then ask about Yaohua's clothing, food, housing and transportation from beginning to end, and then explain that she should not be careless about the details, and only then does she reluctantly leave.
Back in the house, the First Mistress left Chen Mama behind.
First Mistress sat on a chair and read the note in her hand again and again.
Chen mother did not dare to interrupt, see the first lady face has a few points of certainty, only dare to ask: "This medicine, Mrs. has not already have a plan?"
The First Mistress said, "There is nothing, the master before he left has already delivered, just ask for people there is no reason not to suffer, but also let me have to take into account the overall situation, I think the master has guessed that there will be today's matter."
"Want to get this medicine it is indispensable to beg Marquis Yi Cheng Cai lady, your consort's holy favor is being prosperous, only she can do it."
Mother Chen couldn't help but interject, "Then that marriage that Marquis' wife said, we must answer?"
First Mistress's expression was neither happy nor angry, "The Marquis' wife opened her mouth, there is no reason why I shouldn't," First Mistress waved her hand, letting Chen Mama light the Buddhist incense, "The Master has said that these are but small matters, no need to be concerned, I am just preparing a dowry."
Chen mother said, "What madam said is true, as long as second young miss's illness is cured, this house will no longer need anyone else to help madam's relief."
First Mistress nodded and smiled in relief, "This day has finally come for me, I used to think that Yaohua's illness was not going to be cured, and only then did I reluctantly have to pick others out of the house, but now since Mr. said that Yaohua's illness is curable, there is no need to think of anyone else. You will take out the dowry that I have prepared, and then carefully take stock of it, counting the several large boxes that I brought from my mother's house as well."
Chen mother was surprised, "Mistress hasn't touched a single piece of her dowry in many years, you want to use them all this time?" The first wife's mother's family although the generations of eunuchs shy, but saved a lot of family money, the first wife married into the Tao House, the family's old lady is still alive, rewarded a lot of treasures accompanying the dowry, over the years also used to get the money, the first wife, but a piece of it did not show.
I didn't expect all to be used in this marriage.
"Will not be more." Even the second and third houses did not use these family funds to marry their wives.
The First Mistress glanced at Chen Mama, "Although it's a dowry for a married daughter, the dowry is indispensable so that she can be held in high regard after passing through the door."
Mrs. Chen said, "You are right."
The First Mistress said, "This marriage should be done in a way that is even more glamorous than that of Eldest Sister." The marriage she had begged for by all means, in the future, not to mention her, the entire Tao House will depend on this marriage, no matter what to do it will be worth it.
"Then the other young lady ......"
The First Mistress didn't even think about it, "According to the old rules, preparing three, five hundred taels of silver will be enough."
The First Mistress and Mother Chen had just finished their discussion when Dong Rui entered the room and said, "The First Miss sent Qiuhuo back."
The First Mistress knew that Shuhua wanted to ask about the situation of the Imperial Doctor's treatment of Yaohua, so she let Dongrui ask to meet her, and told her about today's events in detail, and that the medicine was copied for Dongrui to hand over to Shuhua, so that Shuhua could do some preparations earlier.
After the first wife finished, Qiu He took a few steps forward to report, "The first lady asked me to come back ......."
The first wife nodded, look around, "are their own people, say no harm."
Qiuhuo said, "The marquis lady praised you for sending a good troupe, these days are preparing to run a hall meeting at home, said also want to invite the wife and the house of the lady over. The official post hasn't been sent over yet, and the eldest miss meant for me to say it to madam first, so that she can be prepared."
Listen to the words to hear the sound.
First Mistress's eyes instantly jumped, "What did Shuhua say? Which young lady in the house do you want me to bring?"
Qiu He said, "Miss Da didn't say anything, she only said that she would do as she sees fit."
First Mistress let out a "hmm" and nodded, "You go back early!"
Qiu He retreated and ran into a few familiar maids in the garden and said a few words, talking about going out of the mansion, but turned a corner towards the second miss's courtyard.
