Chapter 45 Feng Xi
Chen Tang couldn't imagine that Li Dong, such a tall and strong man, could have such a pretty and petite woman.
Huaping also stammered: "You...how come you are dressed like..."
Feng Xi tilted her head and smiled: "I am a doctor. I usually go out to see patients in the streets. I am not used to wearing skirts. No wonder you can't see it."
Chen Tang felt that he had made a fool of himself and couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly invited her to come in and sit down.
"Please come in, please come in. You are a doctor. No wonder Lidong said you are very busy."
Feng Xi was not polite either. He walked in and put the heavy willow box on the ground, shaking the gilded incense burner next to it.
"I wanted to come the day before yesterday, but the blacksmith's mother had a fever. He was a filial man, and he was still worried after prescribing medicine for me, and he held me back and wouldn't let me go. I wanted to come yesterday, too, but the son of the coachman Lao Liu broke his arm while trying to dig out a bird's nest on a tree, and the boy cried until he was tired before I let him go! It delayed me another half a day."
As they were talking here, the maids in the yard heard that Lidong's wife had arrived, and they all gathered around to take a look at her dress and her big box, which were very curious.
There are two doors on the outside of the box, and each drawer is filled with various porcelain bottles and paper packages. There are medical prescriptions, pills, and various common medicinal liquors for traumatic injuries. There are really a lot of things.
No wonder there were jingling sounds when she walked.
Just as Chen Tang had asked someone to serve tea, she saw Feng Xi take out a tattered cloth bag from the top drawer and put it next to her.
"Come, let me feel your pulse!"
"Ah, pulse?"
"Well, Lidong said you were sick a few days ago, so I came to see you."
Chen Tang was dumbfounded. This gray little bag turned out to be a pulse pillow?
Feng Xi smiled with a calm look.
“It’s a little old, but it’s very useful.”
Seeing that she spoke with full of energy, Chen Tang knew that she was obviously an experienced doctor, so he reached out his hand without hesitation.
Seeing this, Bai Lu hurriedly put her handkerchief on it, but Chen Tang picked it up with a smile and placed his white jade wrist directly on the gray pulse pillow.
"The disease is as the doctor wishes. We have to follow the doctor's rules."
When Huaping saw all kinds of pills in her box, she believed that she was really a doctor.
"Our grandma caught a cold a few days ago. She first had a stuffy nose and a headache, and then she had a cough. She has coughed less in the past two days, but she doesn't look very energetic."
Feng Xi nodded as he listened, stretched out his slender fingers, touched Shen Tang's wrist for a while, nodded and smiled.
"It's nothing serious. It's not a serious cold, but I'm a little depressed. Third Madam doesn't go out much, right? She's probably thinking about things."
Chen Tang admired her from the bottom of his heart when he heard her speak so clearly just by taking the pulse.
"Doctor Xiao Feng, you are so accurate!"
Seeing that she had the right treatment, Huaping asked hurriedly, "What medicine can cure this disease? Sister Lao Feng, please prescribe a good prescription. My daughter has been drinking the medicine for several days, but it has not worked at all."
Feng Xi asked Chen Tang to open his mouth again, and looked at his tongue coating, feeling confident.
"I think you don't even need to take medicine. The best prescription is to go out more and talk to people, and you will get better naturally."
This was the first time that Shen Tang had heard of such a prescription.
"My previous doctor told me to rest, so I haven't gone out for a walk for a long time. But when I went out, I just walked around the front and back yards."
Feng Xi put away the pulse pillow.
"So, grandmas and wives like you are always sick. They have the same problems. They have nothing to do and are too pampered. People like me who walk around the streets are so busy that I have been a doctor for five years and have no time to get sick."
After hearing this, Chen Tang looked at her thin and slender body and was a little surprised.
"Five years? Miss Feng, how old are you this year?"
"Nineteen, what's wrong?"
"It doesn't look like... anything at all!"
Feng Xi chuckled, seeming to be used to it.
"Because I'm short, I often hear people say that. Oh, if I were taller, I wouldn't have to stand on a chair when delivering babies for Old Liu's horses."
Everyone was shocked.
"You can also deliver horses?"
Feng Xi blinked, very proud.
"Of course. My grandfather was a doctor, my grandmother was a pharmacist, my father was a veterinarian, and my mother was a midwife. All my family members have given their skills to me. I can see the birth, aging, illness, and death of all living things in this world."
Chen Tang sincerely praised: "Great, Doctor Feng, you are really amazing!"
Feng Xi was a little modest: "Not bad, Third Grandma, I think I'm OK."
Feng Xi packed his things while talking, and in the blink of an eye he closed the box with a clang.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "This box is quite unusual, it has everything in it. Doctors come to my house quite often recently, and they only carry a small box, not such a complete set of things!"
Feng Xi chuckled.
"I am a street doctor. I usually treat poor people in the streets. People on the street are poor. If they have a minor illness or disaster, they know it is not serious. They don't take the medicine even if they get the prescription. They just endure it and it will pass. I bring some commonly used medicines with me, and give them to people when I see them, so that they don't let the minor illness turn into a serious illness, which is difficult to treat."
After hearing this, Chen Tang was filled with awe.
"A doctor's heart is full of compassion. Doctor Feng, your kindness is comparable to that of a saint."
Feng Xi smiled and said, "Third Madam is really knowledgeable and speaks elegantly. I don't understand what is indifferent or saintly, it's just my duty as a doctor."
After saying that, she looked at the sky.
"Let's stop here for today. It's still early. I have to go give acupuncture to old lady Wang who sells tea. I have to go now. Third Madam, let's talk next time when we are free. Ah, bye."
After saying that, Feng Xi picked up the medical box and left.
She walked so fast that no one reacted and even forgot to see her off.
A moment of silence.
Chen Tang looked at the maids, and the maids looked at Chen Tang, and everyone was a little surprised.
"Miss Feng is really..."
“Really…”
"really……"
Before anyone could say anything, the curtain moved and Feng Xi came running in again.
"Oh, this is a gift for my third grandmother. I just put it in the box and forgot to take it out."
As she spoke, she stuffed a handful of weeds in her hand into Chen Tang's arms and left like a gust of wind.
There was silence again.
When they reacted, everyone gathered around to look at the huge bunch of weeds in Shen Tang's hand.
"This... this belongs to Doctor Feng..."
"See... a greeting gift?"
“Isn’t this… a handful of grass?”
Chen Tang looked carefully at the grass and found some tiny light purple flowers, which he immediately pointed out to everyone.
"It's flowers. Look, there are flowers here! Miss Feng gave me a bouquet of flowers!"
As he was talking here, Chen Tang suddenly remembered.
"A greeting gift? Oh, I haven't given him a greeting gift yet! But I accepted his gift first!"
Since Chen Tang married into the Qi family, except for the elders, most of the gifts she gave to others were given by herself.
It's a rare occasion to be rewarded.
