C19 (1/2)
”I heard that someone in your residence is unwell?” The old man obviously didn't want to waste any more time here.
”Yes, yes.” The Qin family squeezed out a smile. The old man in front of them represented the Return of Spring Hall that she couldn't afford to offend.
She let Mother Du lead the two to the Pure Heart Pavilion in the back.
At this moment, Jiang Wan, who had drank the ginger soup, fell asleep again in her blanket, her nose covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Han Li's mother, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a small Wooden Pellet, held the embroidered sash in one hand and stretched out the other to probe Jiang Wan's forehead. Although it wasn't as hot as before, the temperature was still clearly higher than normal.
She couldn't help but wring her brow: If I can't get rid of this fever, what can I do?!
Just as he was thinking about this matter, he heard someone coming upstairs from outside. He saw Mother Du respectfully lead an old man into the room. Behind the old man was a small child carrying a medical case.
Mother Han quickly put down the work she was doing and stood up to greet her. She asked with doubt, ”Mother Du …” ”This is …”
”Aiyo, my old sister,” Mother Du patted Mama Han's hand and said affectionately, ”Isn't Fourth Miss sick? Madam specifically invited a doctor from the Return of Spring Hall to see her.”
Mama Han didn't really believe her ears. Would the usually frugal wife ask a doctor at this time? Unless the one who was sick was the Fifth Miss!
”Mama Han, what are you still standing there for?” ”Hurry up and wake up Fourth Young Miss. Otherwise, how can the doctors treat her?”
Mother Han seemed to have awoken from a dream.
She ran all the way to Jiang Wan's bed, bent down and softly called out, ”Fourth Miss? Fourth Miss? ”
Jiang Wan, who was burning a little absentmindedly, felt as if she had suddenly returned to the lifeless Yongxi Palace, and as if she had suddenly met the smiling Xiao Rui in the imperial garden. The scene changed, and she actually saw the drunken Crown Prince Xiao Rui rushing towards her, shocking her so much that she suddenly opened her eyes, a layer of cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Seeing Jiang Wan's overreaction, Mama Han was also shocked. After she confirmed that Jiang Wan was fine, she softly said, ”Fourth Miss, Madam has invited a doctor for you …”
Jiang Wan turned her head and realized that Mother Du and co. were still standing in the bedroom.
Jiang Wan was shocked at first, thinking, ”Why did the Qin suddenly become so good to me?” Then she pretended to be apologetic and said slowly, ”It's all my fault that I caught a cold. I really gave my mother trouble …” ”Sorry for troubling you, Mama Du …”
”Fourth Miss, saying all these is out of the ordinary.” Mother Du, who always had a friendly face, also came over, ”Right now, the most important thing for you to do is to quickly let the doctor take a look and take care of your body!”
With that, she invited the old man to step forward and take Jiang Wan's pulse.
The old man gestured to the child behind him to put down the medicine box, then he took out a small pillow from the medicine box. His mother quickly took out Jiang Wan's arm from the blanket and placed it on top of the pillow.
Han Li's mother invited the old man to sit on the small Wooden Pellet next to the bed and then quietly stood to the side, ready to receive orders at any time.
That old man nodded his head and stroked the goatee on his chin. Then, he released a hand and placed it on Jiang Wan's arm, as if nothing had happened.
