Xifeng served Grandmother Jia and instructed the servant girls on how to take good care of Daiyu. She started flattering Grandmother Jia's acquaintance, Silvester Zabe. He was really capable and rare to be so steady.
Grandmother Jia said that Silvester Zabe used to serve the Emperor and the Empress in the palace. Because of his upright and unruly personality, he was inevitably buried. Now that he was out of the palace, he only treated the princes and princes. She only said that she was friends with his mother, which was why she invited him over.
Xi Feng's heart skipped a beat. No wonder. If it were any other unreputable imperial physician, the High Duke's Public House would have immediately followed him to the hospital if they sent an invitation. But this Zhang fellow insisted on taking his own carriage before going out.
When she had just entered the house, she had seen the old lady like that. However, the imperial physician had yet to come. If the old lady had any doubts and thought that I, Wang Xifeng, had neglected Miss Lin and left a bad impression of not calling the imperial physician even when I was so sick, then I, Wang Xifeng, would really be unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River! What a freaking fright.
Xi Feng gave Ping 'er a look, then pointed at her stomach and the imperial physician. Ping' er immediately understood and nodded. She quietly lifted the curtain and chased after her.
After the medicine was boiled, the servant girl served him and fed him. A spoonful of it spilled, but he couldn't feed it. Grandmother Jia was so anxious that she couldn't do anything. She shouted "Yu 'er" every sentence and told her to drink some quickly, but Daiyu couldn't hear her.
Xi Feng said," Old ancestor, this is not the way. You have to ask your sister to drink the medicine to get rid of the root of the disease." I have an idea. Although it's a little rough, it's for her own good. It was better to ask the maids to pry open her teeth with a silver stick and pour it down in one go. After her sister ate enough medicine, her illness would go away.”
So according to Xifeng's method, the servant girls carefully served Daiyu a bowl of hot soup medicine. In just a quarter of an hour, Daiyu was better.
Grandmother Jia heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Xi Feng back."It's been hard on you so early in the morning. You don't look too good. I'll go back now. You don't have to follow me.”
Xi Feng helped Grandmother Jia up and smiled." Old ancestor, I was scared by these two enemies." Now that they've recovered and my heart has settled back into my stomach, it's nothing. I'll serve the ancestor when he returns."
Grandmother Jia patted Xifeng's hand and smiled.""You're very good. You're much more filial than your mother-in-law.”He then said," I know that you and the two Yu 'Er are good friends. The two of them have always been restless. If we are anxious for them every time, then how can we still be free?" Hahaha, alright, you don't have to send me off. Yu 'Er doesn't have anyone useful here. Just call two good ones over and take good care of them.”
After sending Grandmother Jia home, Xifeng returned to her own courtyard. As the servant girl wanted to pull the curtain, she stood there for a moment and suddenly lost her strength. Fortunately, the servant girls beside her were quick-witted and supported her.
Xifeng came back to her senses, and the door frame helped her come back to her senses. She held her breath and entered the door. Silvester was sitting in the main hall and drinking tea. Xifeng smiled and bowed first."Jia Wangshi greets Mister Zhang."
Silvester avoided Xifeng's bow but did not return it. He even said,"Madam, you are a noble lady from a noble family. You must be a role model for being educated and reasonable. No matter what, you are like a refugee and a bandit.”
Xi Feng said," Please forgive me, sir. I really have something to ask of you. You are noble and pure. You don't seek fame and fortune in the world. You are a person who lives in the clouds and wild cranes." I can't get it on a regular day. Fortunately, Sir came to the door in front of the old lady today. If I didn't do this, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to invite Sir to my small courtyard.”
Ping 'er sent away the few servant girls outside the door and came in to make a gesture. Xi Feng knew that there were people inside and outside the door that she knew, so she told her what she wanted.
It was still okay to talk about this and that, but when she talked about the miscarriage yesterday, she was really sad. For a moment, she had lost her competitive thoughts. Her tears flowed like a stream, and she cried very miserably.
Ping 'er wiped her tears and took out a envelope of three hundred taels of silver. She said that although the teacher doesn't care about these common things, it is also our sincere intention. Please don't decline it, just take it as a thank you gift for checking the pulse of our young lady.
Silvester had long heard that the daughter-in-law of the Jia family was powerful, and he had expected that it would not be easy for a woman to fight for power like this. However, when he saw how well-rounded, gentle, and energetic she was, he did not expect her to have a miscarriage. He could not help but sigh at how inferior this noble family was compared to a small family.
What would it look like if this disease fell on a person? They had trouble eating and sleeping, and their entire bodies were in pain. They were on the verge of death. Eight and a half out of ten doctors could only shake their heads and persuade them to recuperate. Perhaps they could get better. However, in Silvester's hands, 99 out of 10,000 illnesses could be cured in an instant. Xifeng was lucky, too.
Silvester took the silver and kicked it into his pocket. He found it too heavy and shouted for it to be exchanged for silver notes. Pinger quickly exchanged it with him.
After taking Xifeng's pulse for less than ten minutes, Silvester wrote another prescription. The tea was not cold yet, so he left.
After sending Silvester out, Pinger served Xifeng some hot soup and said,"Grandma, sleep for a while more. I'll get the old maids to go back and tell them to come back in the afternoon if there's something important. If there's nothing important, they can come back tomorrow.”
Xi Feng said," It's such a good night. Sigh, I can't sleep. It's Grandmother Zhou's treat today. Both of our masters are going." The servants can't be sure about the gifts and favors. I averted my eyes for a while, but they couldn't do it smoothly.”
"In the past year, there have been too many promotions and vacancies."”
Xi Feng said," That's right. If it was in the past, there would have been a few in a year. Now that the outside world is not peaceful, the officials are constantly rising. The emperor's imperial list has been released again and again. This time, wave after wave, we haven't won the battle, but we are exhausted from congratulating him. Oh, right, I only took a glance at Xing 'er when he came back. What did he say?”
"I've asked him," Ping 'er said with a smile."He said that the Second Master is coming back, perhaps in a few days." When Second Master came back, he would at least help Grandma take care of herself. Grandma would be able to rest and recuperate. It just so happened that Silvester was here.”
Xifeng was delighted when she heard that. She could tell from Silvester's actions that he was capable. This time, she had finally met the right person. She sighed and said,"Your Second Master is coming back at this moment.”
Ever since they got married, Jia Lian had looked forward to his son and daughter, and Xifeng had miscarried a few times. Every time, she was sad, which made the relationship between husband and wife cold. It was already good enough that Jia Lian was able to come back in time for Qingming Festival. If that child was still here…But he was not here, Jia Lian knew that he would be sad again.
Daiyu drank the medicine and woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at the curtain, as if she didn't know where she was. The servant girl cried out in joy, startling Daiyu.
"Where is this place? Where's my mother?"
"Young Lady, you must be sleeping soundly. This is your house, the capital, Grandmother's house!”
Daiyu nodded and seemed to remember something. She turned her head and asked,"Where's Zijuan?"
When the servant girl heard Zijuan's question, she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to answer. Qingwen walked in with her clothes draped over her shoulders and said,"Young Lady is awake? Silvester instructed her to use a small bowl of medicine when she woke up. Chun Xian, quickly bring the medicine over.”
Daiyu wanted to get up, but she didn't have the strength. Qingwen and Chun Xian helped her up.
"What about me?"
"Young Lady, what do you think is wrong? I was born with a weak fetus, so I usually play every day. Why did I have to stay up so late last night? Even Silvester said that the lady did not know how to take care of herself. That b * tch Zijuan was too unruly. She didn't know how to persuade her, but she came back to keep watch and slept like a dead pig. Even the servants outside were alarmed. She was still sleeping like the mistress 'grandmother.”
"She slept late with me because she was tired." What's wrong with your face? Why is it so red?”
Qingwen covered her face, turned around and snorted. "Young Lady, don't ask. It's my cheap nature that brought this upon myself.”
Qingwen didn't want to say anything and ran away. Daiyu asked Chunxian, but Chunxian was still quiet. She only said that she was fine when she went out last night and that she had it when she came back this morning. Daiyu couldn't ask further.
Daiyu was ill, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine. The servant girls did not dare to disturb her, nor did they dare to speak loudly. For a moment, there was no laughter or support. It was really like a cold cellar.
"Qingwen, when is Lin Er coming back?”
"How would a girl like me know?”
"Bring me some paper. I want to write a letter."
"Write a letter? To whom? Second Young Lady Lin is not at Young Lady's home in Suzhou.”
"If she's not at home, where can she be?”
"She doesn't know where she's going. I'm just a servant girl, so I can't ask her where she's going. It's Yangzhou on the left and right. If Young Lady really wants to know, you can ask Second Grandmother.”
Daiyu had always felt that Qingwen was not good to her. Now that she was sick, she was also full of soft and hard knives. She could not help but feel angry and wronged. She supported her body and said,"I'm not your master. It's only right that you don't have me in your heart.”
This time, Zijuan's actions had fallen into the eyes of the old lady. Even if she didn't die, she would lose a layer of skin. However, Daiyu still missed her and wanted to call her back. Qingwen snorted and laughed." Young Lady has always treated Zijuan differently from us. She eats and sleeps the same as Master. Even the snow geese that followed Young Lady here are not as close to Young Lady as her." This time, the young lady was seriously ill and did not blame her, but only asked her to serve her. She was afraid that she would have to go back to the old lady.”
"Young Lady is still sick, so just tell us what you want." Miss Zijuan's mother's father went to fetch her. When she recovered, he would report to the old lady to fetch her back.”
"Did you bring her home?" Daiyu suddenly understood and became even more miserable." Yes, her mother and father wanted to take her back. Everyone left me, leaving me alone.”
When Qingwen heard this, she wanted to stab her again, but she heard Baoyu's voice outside calling "Sister Lin", so she hid in the inner room.
Baoyu entered the room and saw Daiyu leaning on the edge of the bed. He remembered that she had been so ill yesterday that her face had turned pale. For a moment, he couldn't help but fall on her embroidered quilt and pinch her, choking up and unable to speak.
Daiyu pulled her hand out from under the blanket and punched Baoyu. With tears streaming down her face, she cried,"I'm seriously ill here. No one came. What are you doing here?”
Baoyu looked up and saw Daiyu's tearful face. It was as if his heart was torn apart. He suddenly grabbed Daiyu's hand that was pounding on his hand and felt a little more at ease. Suddenly, he let go and stuffed her hand back into the quilt."It's cold outside."
Daiyu burst into laughter and her tearful face burst into laughter. She retracted her other hand back into the blanket and said,"It's so cold outside, what are you doing here? You're dressed so thinly, and you didn't even ask Xiren to pass you a cloak. Don't sit on the floor. There's a soft stool over there. Sit down and let's talk.”
Baoyu also smiled." She asked me to wear it and was in a hurry. I didn't want to wait for her to take it." It wasn't far. I ran over and felt hot.”Baoyu sat down and the servant girl served him hot tea. Baoyu took a sip and suddenly said,"Who are you? I don't know you. Where's Zijuan? Why haven't I seen her today?”
The servant girl bowed and said,"My name is Hongxue. It was the old lady who gave it to you." Sister Zijuan had something to do at home and went out.”
Baoyu said," What are you saying? Sister Lin is still sick and can't leave her. She's not serving her master but is hiding?" There was no such logic in the world. Where does she live? Get someone to pass a message to her mother and father. Tell them that I told them to send it back quickly.”
Baoyu was no longer in a daze. He spoke with a noble and perceptive manner. Hongxue had never seen such a person before. She was so flustered that her legs almost went weak. She only cared about running out first. She did not care about the good job of serving the seriously ill Daiyu.
