Chapter 583 A Dream of Youth 115

After scolding for a while, Madam Qiu was surprised to find Xie Ning standing next to her. She glanced at Xie Ning with slight embarrassment and said, "Young Lady Xie, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Having just learned a big piece of gossip, Xie Ning remained calm and continued, "Did the illness recur later?"

"No."

That means it's asymptomatic. If it weren't for the delayed menstruation, the cause probably wouldn't have been detected.

Xie Ning glanced at Miss Qiu's pale face and thin figure. The weather was extremely hot, yet she was still wearing a thick, short-sleeved, double-breasted jacket with plum blossom and colorful pom-pom patterns.

It's clear that they are sensitive to the cold.

"Are you afraid of the cold?" Xie Ning asked.

Qiu Yu nodded.

Xie Ning raised his hand and pressed on her abdomen. Seeing Qiu Yu's brows furrow slightly, he asked, "Is it bloated here?"

Seeing Qiu Yu nod, Xie Ning asked her to open her mouth to look at her tongue coating. Seeing that the coating was white and the tongue was pale, and after asking about her bowel movements, he had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Qiu Yu's originally pale face turned bright red, and she looked at Xie Ning shyly.

Why are they asking such detailed questions during a medical consultation? And this young lady is even younger than her, yet she's not shy at all. That's quite impressive.

Xie Ning didn't pay attention to Qiu Yu's expression, but looked down at the wet nurse and said, "Could you please get me a set of writing materials?"

"Hurry up and go!" Madam Qiu scolded.

The kneeling wet nurse breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to fetch a pen and ink.

There weren't many people in the room to begin with. Madam Qiu glanced at the other kneeling maids and said in a deep voice, "Get up."

The root of the problem isn't here, so even if she gets angry, she'll direct it at the truly hateful person.

Xie Ning picked up his pen and wrote down the prescription, then said to Madam Qiu, "I prescribed a formula to warm the Yang and promote diuresis for her. It can be decocted and taken orally, or the pharmacy can grind it into a fine powder and make pills with black bean soup."

She is still young, so she only needs to take two qian (approximately 6 grams) each time, three times a day, before meals.

I will come back for a follow-up appointment in three days.

If her condition is good, she can prescribe nourishing medicine to improve her constitution.

"lady."

Xie Ning did not put away his pulse pillow, his face somewhat serious. "As I just said, this insect disease is contagious, so please have all the servants in the manor go and see a doctor, just in case."

Furthermore, the entire residence should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent any potential sources of trouble.

Startled, Madam Qiu quickly stretched out her hand, saying, "Thank you, young doctor, for taking a look at me."

She no longer called Xie Ning "little lady," but instead addressed him respectfully as "doctor."

Finally, after giving Qiu Yu acupuncture, Xie Ning stayed at the Qiu residence to treat Madam Qiu and the maids in her courtyard. As for the master and servants, they all went to the outside pharmacy for treatment.

Xie Qi was surprised that Xie Ning stayed at Qiu's residence for an entire afternoon. He listened carefully to Xie Ning's description of the insect disease in the carriage, which reminded Xie Qi of the fights he had with his friends in the fields when he was a child. He quickly reached out his hand to take Xie Ning's pulse.

"Baby, quickly check if there are any worms in my stomach!"

Xie Ning dismissively pushed Xie Qi's hand away, "Don't scare yourself. If you had worms in your stomach, you would have been sickly long ago."

"And I often take your pulses, so everyone in your family is healthy."

He opened the large purse given to him by the Qiu family, took out a plump silver coin, and handed it to Xie Qi, saying, "Buy something delicious for my brother."

Xie Qi touched Xie Ning's head with emotion and exclaimed, "Our precious baby can actually earn money now."

"Brother, I've already made money."

In short, Xie Qi was completely devastated. He was the only one in the family still sponging off his parents, and now he was even sponging off his younger sibling. Suddenly, Xie Qi felt a little uneasy.

The two did not go home, but went to the manor. Originally, the Qiu family wanted to invite them to stay for a meal, but Xie Ning and Xie Qi were thinking about Chen Wanniang at the manor, so they declined.

Xie Wangzhi's official estate was purchased separately, since official estates could be taken back if he was transferred or demoted.

Just then, a small two-courtyard manor was for sale, and Chen Wanniang used her connections to buy it.

It's not far from the capital; it only takes an hour to get there.

This was the first time Xie Ning and Xie Qi had come here, because the manor had been under renovation because Xie Wangzhi and Xie Qi were both dissatisfied with its layout, finding it too luxurious and vulgar.

The renovated manor is a picturesque scene at every turn. Although the decorations and greenery are not expensive, they are very fresh and elegant.

Not only Chen Wanniang was in the village, but Chen Yunsheng and Huo Xiao also came along. The two had been married for a year and came to the village to escape the summer heat, as the weather was just too hot.
