Chapter 122: Miracle Doctor (6)
Mrs. Xue thought that her voice was very low and would not disturb others. In fact, both of them in the room were martial arts and could hear it clearly. Lin Dan pretended not to know, but Xue Boyong showed a guilty expression. When Mrs. Xue left, he put down the spoon and lost his appetite.
"Drink a little more," Lin Dan beat his bowl with chopsticks: "There is only a thin layer of porridge left, which can be solved in two or three bites. Don't waste it."
Xue Boyong was unmoved.
Just then, a servant came in with a pot of ginseng soup, put it on the stove, and simmered on low heat.
Lin Dan turned his head to look at him and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
"Miss Huilin, the little girl's name is Li Zhong." The servant bent down to answer, with a panicked expression. Since he saw Lin Dan tame Xue Boyong to obedience, he no longer dared to show disrespectful expressions. Can this master cure the most promising eldest son of Xue Mansion, and can he still not cure others?
"What are the names of those two girls outside?" Lin Dan continued to ask.
"The one in red clothes outside is Fangfei, and the one in green clothes is jasper, which has only been transferred recently. We have never served a maid in Xiaofeng Pavilion before. The servant answered everything and was courteous.
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Well, before I came, your son didn't want to eat. How did you keep him alive?"
The servant said with a bitter face, "Madam comes to beg the eldest son to eat every day. If the eldest son is in a good mood, he will drink a sip or two of ginseng soup. If he is in a bad mood, he will not eat or drink, but just sits in front of the wall. Miss Lin, look, this is the ginseng soup that the eldest prince drinks every day. The small one is put on the stove to warm up. Remember to let the eldest son drink a little later so that he can make up for his short-loss body as soon as possible.
Lin Dan turned his head and looked at Xue Boyong and said word by word, "You have to cry and beg your own mother to eat. Brother, you are really promising!"
Xue Boyong's face turned red, immediately picked up the spoon, and drank the rest of the porridge.
Lin Dan hit the iron while it was hot and let him drink a bowl of ginseng soup and a few Guben Peiyuan pills, so he stopped.
"Would you like to pee?" She took the handkerchief handed over by the servant and wiped Xue Boyong's face while asking naturally.
Xue Boyong coughed violently and reached out to push her several times, but failed to push people. She is now a dog skin plaster, which can't be torn open as soon as it sticks to it.
"Don't you want to pee? Then would you like to be respectful?" Lin Dan continued to ask.
Xue Boyong gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Dan, get out of here!"
"Well, you can shout if you need it. I'll ask Li Zhong to help you. My bedroom is in your left room, and my study is in your right room, only separated by two walls, very close. As soon as there is any wind and grass here, I can hear it right away." Lin Dan finished saying these words before he went out.
Xue Boyong's originally pale cheeks have turned red now, and I don't know if it's shameful or angry.
Li Zhong huddled his head in the corner as if he did not exist. Although he has been with the eldest son since he was a child, he has never served each other much. What the eldest son himself can do will never pretend to others, so he slept so well last night, and he didn't expect to put a glass of water by the prince's bed or take him to the toilet or something.
If it hadn't been for Lin Dan's alertness, according to Xue Boyong's strong manner, he would have lie on the ground for one night if he couldn't climb back, and would never have taken the initiative to ask for help. By the next morning, Mrs. Xue saw that the whole yard was going to be boarded. Thinking of this stubble, Li Zhong couldn't help but add some gratitude to Lin Dan.
After breakfast, Lin Dan went to the study next door to read, began with the simplest soup song, and then learned pulse diagnosis and identification of Chinese herbal medicine. At the same time, she didn't leave her inner skills behind and smoked every day. Meditating for two hours.
Mrs. Xue soon sent someone to build a small kitchen for Xiaofeng Pavilion and deliver the freshest ingredients every day. At first, Lin Dan pretended to follow the chef to learn cooking but later completely replaced him. She also slowly took over the sewing work of Xiu Niang, but she sewed all Xue Boyong's clothes and trousers herself, and it was very meticulous.
On this day, the cook was completely defeated by Lin Dan's craftsmanship and took the initiative to retreat to fight. In the beginning, she thought that Lin Dan was learning cooking from herself to show to the old lady and her. Unexpectedly, after only seven days of learning, she learned her family skills.
The cook was full of regret, but it was too late, and she was only secretly shocked by Lin Dan's intelligence. I heard that Lin Dan just learned Nvhong, but compared the old embroidered woman who had been working for decades. She said that an embroidered pillow should really have a look with her own eyes. If she embroidered pillows, there would be no smart girls in the capital.
Lin Dan made a hibiscus chicken slice, a brewed tofu, a mushroom stir-fried heart, and a winter melon sparerib soup, which was packed in exquisite food boxes and sent to Xue Boyong's room.
Xue Boyong was stunned as soon as he took the first bite and then accelerated his eating speed. After the injury, he ate much smaller. He was full after drinking a bowl of porridge and was unwilling to pick up the bowls and chopsticks. Today, he ate two bowls of rice in a row and drank a bowl of soup, leaving only some vegetable juice for Lin Dan.
Lin Dan didn't dislike it at all. He poured the soup into the bowl and mixed it. He ate it deliciously.
Xue Boyong's hands have regained some strength, and his face has a little meat. He is wiping his mouth and explaining to Li Zhong, "Are you changing the cook today? This man is very good at craftsmanship. He will be rewarded with a tael of silver.
Li Zhong agreed, and then secretly went to see Lin Dan.
Lin Dan directly opened Xue Boyong's money box, took a pair of silver out, and put it into his pocket.
Xue Boyong looked at her coldly and asked, "What do you do with my money?"
"Brother Xie rewarded me. Today's new cook is me. From now on, I will cook the eldest brother's food and sew the eldest brother's clothes, okay?" Lin Dan squeezed Xue Boyong's cheek and said gratifiedly, "Brother, you are meaty!"
Xue Boyong quickly grabbed her wrist and scolded her with red cheeks: "How can a girl pinch a man's face at will? Do you know if she is ashamed?"
Lin Dan broke away his clamps and became more and more gratified: "Brother, you have also grown your strength."
Xue Boyong felt that he was talking completely with chickens and ducks, and the expression on his face was both embarrassing and helpless.
Mrs. Xue and Lao Taijun, who came to visit him, stood at the door and looked at the scene with a smile. As expected, the grandson (son) gained a little weight, his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and even his physical strength was slowly recovering. One day, he will recover completely.
Thinking of this, the old lady showed a gentle expression to Lin Dan. Although Mrs. Xue was still cold-browed, her tone of voice was much gentler and no longer shouted bitches one by one.
Seeing the two elders, Xue Boyong wiped his face and almost wanted to sigh. In recent days, he has indeed been so angry that he forgot to think nonsense, and gradually realized how much harm his depression brought to his family. His voice choked and he said sincerely, "Gramma, mother, grandchildren are unfilial, which worries you!"
"What's your fault? Don't say that quickly." The old lady quickly walked in and comforted him, "Your face is much better now, and you also have strength. Your body and bones are stronger every day. Your father went to Jiangzhou to help you find a famous doctor, and the good news will come back soon. You will definitely recover."
Mrs. Xue echoed repeatedly with a smile in her tears.
Seeing this scene, Lin Dan quietly walked out, quietly covered the door, and left space for them.
—
Three days later, General Xue did not send back the good news, but Xue Jiming came back and said, "Grandma, do you know? A few days ago, a farmer's stomach was pierced by ox horns, and his intestines leaked out. Others said that he was dead and sent to Xuancao's pharmacy, but she saved him!"
"What, can I still save my intestines if I leak?" The old lady was shocked.
"Can be saved, Xuancao cleaned up the man's intestines and stuffed it back, and then sewed up the other party's stomach with needles and threads. After more than a month, the man jumped alive. I saw it with my own eyes. Where is it fake? If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the street to inquire. Now it has spread all over the capital, saying that Xuancao is a magic doctor alive and there is no disease that she can't cure!"
As soon as the old lady's eyes lit up, he immediately sent someone to inquire. Mrs. Xue also waited eagerly, hoping for the truth of the news. If the news is true, even if the youngest son wants to marry Wu Xuancao as her first wife, she will have nothing to say.
The servant came back soon and learned the rumors on the streets and alleys. She said that Wu Xuancao was a magic doctor, had a friendship with the King of Hell, could rob people from hell, and said that she was extraordinary in medicine, could live and die, and so on.
Lao Taijun and Mrs. Xue immediately sent someone to invite her, but because Lin Dan had smashed her shop and ruined her reputation, she refused to come. After inviting her three times in a row, she put down her words and said that she would let Lin Dan kneel down at the door of her pharmacy and admit her mistake loudly before she came over.
"Go find Lin Dan. If she doesn't want to, she will also escort her to Xian Cao Tang and kowtow to Wu Xuancao!" Mrs. Xue slapped the table and said loudly.
The old lady closed his eyes and didn't mean to intervene at all. These things were provoked by Lin Dan. It's nothing to ask her to apologize.
Xue Jiming gritted his teeth and said, "Gramma, mother, why don't you drive Lin Dan away?" When the eldest brother fell down, he had to support the Xue family, so he usually stayed in the barracks to train. He seldom came back and didn't know that the culprit was still at home.
"Well, forget it. Grandma is always soft-hearted and doesn't listen to anyone! I went to find the dead girl myself. If she doesn't invite Xuan Cao to our house this time, I will throw her out and starve her to death in the street!" Xue Jiming left angrily, and the old lady and Mrs. Xue did not stop him.
As long as Wu Xuancao can be invited and his legs can be cured for Xue Boyong, who will take care of Lin Dan's leave or stay? Even if the old lady really loves her, she doesn't value her more than her own grandson.
