Many maids were busy in the courtyard, each looking nervously into the house.
Granny Gui quickly led Jiang Yimian into the house, while Lin Yan'an was taken to the reception room.
As soon as Jiang Yimian entered, she met Xie Yu's somewhat guilty gaze. Doctor Zhang next to her asked with a look of surprise, "Why are you vomiting all of a sudden? Do you have an upset stomach, or did you eat meat?"
When he saw the maidservant calling him so urgently, he thought something terrible had happened again.
Granny Gui was taken aback when she heard this, and after a while she asked worriedly, "Doctor Zhang, how is the young lady?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head and said helplessly, "It's nothing serious. The young lady probably ate something unclean. She'll be fine after taking the medicine."
Xie Yu quickly retorted, "It's not anything unclean. I... I just accidentally ate too much."
Everyone was taken aback by these words, but Jiang Yimian suddenly thought of something and found it somewhat amusing.
She never expected that the person in front of her was such a glutton.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "Miss had an attack of illness yesterday, so she should eat something light. Although those dishes are vegetarian, they are all quite oily and not suitable for her to eat now."
I'll write down a few light recipes in a bit.
Yesterday, Lin Yan'an told her that the other party couldn't eat meat, so she just made some casually. She never expected that it would be sent to Xie Yu.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded repeatedly, "Great, Miss Jiang, you're really amazing. I didn't expect that you made all those delicious dishes."
Heaven knows how much she craved those dishes when she came back yesterday. She heard they were all vegetarian, so she tentatively tried some, and then she couldn't stop eating them.
Because she hadn't eaten meat in a long time, although the taste wasn't as good as real meat dishes, she still thought they were delicious and ate them all without realizing it.
I felt bloated and uncomfortable in the middle of the night, and started vomiting this morning, which scared everyone.
Jiang Yimian then stepped forward to check Xie Yu's pulse again. After confirming that there was no problem, she wrote down a few light recipes and handed them to Granny Gui.
Granny Gui glanced at the detailed prescription and immediately gave the instructions.
Doctor Zhang then inquired about Jiang Yimian's subsequent treatment of Xie Yu.
“I have noted down all the precautions you mentioned yesterday, but there are a few things I don’t quite understand and would like to ask you for some guidance.”
Dr. Zhang spoke earnestly, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Jiang Yimian was generous and answered all of the other party's questions one by one. She also wrote down several medicinal bath prescriptions and acupuncture techniques before Doctor Zhang left satisfied.
Throughout this time, Xie Yu watched Jiang Yimian with great curiosity through the bed curtains, her interest in this person reaching its peak.
She was extremely curious about the person in front of her. She had met many farm girls before. Although there were girls with a refined air and clear eyes, most of them were similar. Like the daughters of officials, they would either flatter or timidly avoid important people.
No one is like the person in front of you.
When I met her, I was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather very calm and composed. I treated her without any of the timidity or flattery one might expect, as if I were looking at an ordinary person.
Especially after these few interactions, she demonstrated her abilities: she was able to guide everyone in court according to her ideas with clear logic, she was also skilled in medicine, and even her cooking skills were excellent.
According to that young master of the Lin family, this girl is the one who made the soap.
She felt it was a pity that she hadn't met such an outstanding person sooner.
Seemingly sensing her intense gaze, Jiang Yimian merely glanced at her casually and said indifferently, "Is there anything else that's bothering you, Miss?"
Xie Yu smiled and waved to her, "Come sit down and talk to me."
Also, don't call me "girl" anymore, it sounds too formal. My name is Xie Yu, you can call me Xiao Yu, and I'll call you Yi Mian from now on.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback and didn't say anything.
Xie Yu didn't pay any attention and just kept talking to herself. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly took out a small, exquisitely crafted token from a box beside the bed and handed it over, saying with a smile, "The Baoxiangfang in the capital will be yours from now on."
The other party saved her yesterday, and she was thinking about what would be appropriate to give her. She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything until she heard Lin Yan'an say that she made the soap.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat surprised and was about to refuse.
Xie Yu, however, simply shoved the token into her hand, saying, "Don't think this is anything special; it's just a small cosmetics shop."
I don't want to go to the shop. It's yours now, and you can look at the accounts whenever you want.
"It's fine if you don't want to go. There are people managing Baoxiangfang. You just need to wait to collect your money."
There's no use for her keeping it. Yi Mian can make soap, and she can definitely make other things too. It would be better to give it to her.
Seeing that the other party was speaking seriously, Jiang Yimian guessed that it was probably just a small shop, so she thanked them and accepted the token.
The two chatted for a while longer, and when Jiang Yimian saw that the other person was so sleepy that they could barely keep their eyes open, she simply said, "You should rest well, I'm going out for a walk."
Xie Yu nodded vaguely with her eyes closed.
As soon as Jiang Yimian stepped out of the house, Granny Gui came over from outside the courtyard. Upon learning that Xie Yu was sleeping, she said helplessly, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you today, Miss Jiang. I didn't understand the situation at first and rushed over to find you."
Jiang Yimian just waved her hand, not really paying attention, and said she wanted to wander around.
Just as Granny Gui was about to nod, a worried voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Granny Gui, how is the young lady? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Xue Lingyu walked in from outside the courtyard and immediately saw the person standing next to Granny Gui. She was immediately displeased, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.
Last time outside the yamen, although she didn't get off the carriage, she still clearly saw the person's appearance. In the past few days, Song Miaoyin has been cursing this person in front of her all the time.
At first, she only felt annoyed, but yesterday her mother was suddenly disliked by Xie Yu, also because of the person in front of her.
Her impatience turned into disgust.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, not missing the disdain in the other person's eyes. Only after confirming that she had never seen this person before did she begin to examine her.
The person in front of me looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in fine silk and satin, adorned with gold and silver ornaments, like a proud peacock.
Fortunately, the girl had a dignified appearance, not the delicate features of a girl from a poor family, which suited her outfit very well.
But the arrogance that couldn't be hidden in his eyes made one frown.
When Xue Lingyu saw Jiang Yimian looking at her, she glared at her with displeasure and said sarcastically, "Granny Gui, Miss Xie is sick, so it's best not to bring any shady characters to the manor."
Especially those of lowly status; who knows what kind of filth they might carry that could interfere with the girl's recovery.
