Chapter 88 Dowry?
Xiao Nanxing froze, quickly retracted his foot, and his ears felt hot.
Pei Zhengping smiled deeply, "I'm sorry, I really want you to admit defeat quickly so that it will be easier for Dr. Xiao to take your pulse."
Tang Weiguo: "Oh, forget about that, you little brat, just don't get mad at me, okay?"
He stopped playing chess and waited for Xiao Nanxing to finish taking his pulse.
Xiao Nanxing forced himself to remain calm. "Mr. Tang is recovering well, but the surgery did damage his vitality. I won't prescribe any medicine for you. I'll just write two recipes for medicinal soups to nourish your body. Just drink one bowl each in the morning."
Tang Weiguo nodded, "That's good. Old men are most afraid of bitter medicine. Nanxing girl understands me."
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and said, "Old leader, Secretary Pei, dinner is ready."
"Okay, Nanxing girl, stay with me until dinner is over before you leave." The grandson was just a side note.
Xiao Nanxing opened her mouth. Could she refuse?
We had dinner together the first time I visited, and the more I looked at her, the more she looked like she was here to recognize her as a relative of the man.
However, the overbearing old general would not allow her to refuse. He walked away with his hands behind his back, and motioned Pei Zhengping to take her with him.
Pei Zhengping pulled the stunned man up and said, "Let's go. Grandfather invited us, so we have to eat even if we don't want to. He rarely lets the younger generation eat with him because he thinks we are annoying."
What a stubborn yet lovely old man.
Xiao Nanxing touched his stomach and said weakly, "I have eaten, really."
Tang Weiguo's ears were sharp. "That's okay. Just sit down and drink some soup and dip your chopsticks."
Anyway, you have to stay and be served.
Finally, Xiao Nanxing accompanied the two of them to the small restaurant, wondering which celebrity had sat here?
When the window was opened, she could see the precious flowers and plants in the yard.
Her first thought was that there were so many precious medicinal herbs. She was more interested in the flowers and plants outside than in eating.
Knowing that she had eaten before, the old man did not force her to eat more. He only let her dip her chopsticks and drink a small bowl of soup.
The two of them ate in silence. Pei Zhengping occasionally teased the old man and entertained him with colorful clothes.
Old Tang has a straightforward temper. When he is angry, he scolds him, and when he is happy, he laughs. He changes his attitude as easily as turning the pages of a book. Xiao Nanxing is amazed.
After dinner, Mr. Tang went for a walk and left her to Pei Zhengping to entertain.
"Come on, I'll take you outside to have a look." I had noticed her little look a long time ago.
Xiao Nanxing was embarrassed. "It's my professional habit. I can't move my feet when I see rare medicinal herbs."
Pei Zhengping pulled her out the door and said, "This is the yard that my grandmother took care of herself. She loved growing these. After she passed away, my grandfather had them kept planted and no one was allowed to pull them out."
Xiao Nanxing walked over to observe, "Is your grandmother also a Chinese medicine practitioner?"
These medicinal herbs are planted with great care. Various herbs are planted together and complement each other. They are very harmonious and full of vitality, achieving harmony between man and nature and the environment.
"She's a self-taught person. She's better at growing medicinal herbs than curing illnesses. She has a handwritten manuscript. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Xiao Nanxing shook his head. "No, this manuscript is very precious. How can I just look at it casually?"
Pei Zhengping patted her head and said, "Well, then I'll give it to you as a betrothal gift in the future?"
Xiao Nanxing opened his hand and spoke sweetly again. She turned around and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Pei Zhengping did not lose patience and stayed with her for more than ten minutes. When she talked about the medicinal properties of these herbs, he could also follow the conversation.
Xiao Nanxing thought to himself, how come this man has no flaws?
It's better to let her point out some of my shortcomings, so that I won't become more and more...
They had to go to the Li family in the evening, so they said goodbye to Mr. Tang and went back to Chang'an Garden together.
She picked up a box of pills, and Old Tang gave her four things in return. Pei Zhengping took them in his hand and put them behind him without showing them to her.
Xiao Nanxing didn't care. When they arrived at Chang'an Garden, she asked Li Rong to take him back to Building 8 first.
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Nanxing was surprised: "No, they won't eat me. I'm treating them."
Pei Zhengping insisted, "It's okay for now, I want to accompany you."
Well, there's absolutely no other reason.
Xiao Nanxing was suspicious, "Didn't you say you would be very busy? Are you done with your work?"
"Things have been arranged, I don't need to do it myself." It was Li Xia who was busy.
So, Xiao Nanxing was unable to get rid of this burden.
After entering Building No. 10, Li Sheng was surprised and not surprised to see Pei Zhengping, and he personally entertained him.
Xiao Nanxing felt embarrassed, so she let him stay downstairs and chat with Li Sheng. She and Mrs. Li went upstairs to meet Li Fan and Li Jin.
She first gave Li Fan acupuncture, then watched him enter the medicinal bath. She told the Li family nurse to carry him out in twenty minutes, and she went to see Li Jin next door.
Mrs. Li said worriedly, "Xiao Jin fell ill again last night."
Li Fan was fine. He saw hope and had endured the pain just now. Things would only get better.
On the contrary, Li Jin's psychological problems are the most difficult to treat.
Xiao Nanxing wrote a prescription and said, "Boil it first, and I'll coax her into drinking it."
When they opened the door, there was only a small light in the room. Li Jin was curled up in the quilt. When the two of them got close to each other, she seemed to be trembling.
Mrs. Li wants to turn on the light.
Xiao Nanxing tried to stop her. Li Jin's face was pale at this time. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His eyelids were trembling violently, but he didn't wake up. It was obvious that he was in a nightmare.
She took the acupuncture needle and inserted it into her neck, and began to chant a mysterious tune.
Madam Li was surprised. How could this be like the methods of those charlatans? Wasn't she a Chinese and Western doctor?
However, Li Jin did calm down quickly, his whole body relaxed, his brows relaxed, and he was even snoring softly.
Xiao Nanxing waited until she fell asleep, then she took out the needle and motioned for Madam Li to leave first. After they left, she explained:
"I just used Taoist medicine's sound therapy. After she wakes up and drinks the medicine, I will give her formal treatment."
Mrs. Li suddenly realized, "Doctor Xiao, you are really young and promising."
Xiao Nanxing said a few humble words and walked downstairs. Pei Zhengping and Li Sheng seemed to be chatting very speculatively, not like they were arguing with each other.
She told Li Sheng about the situation.
"I'll be returning to the capital tomorrow. My mother will stay. Thank you, Dr. Xiao, for your concern."
“It should be.”
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that Li Sheng's attitude towards her was a little different tonight, but she couldn't put it into words.
Not long after, Li Fan finished the medicinal bath. Xiao Nanxing gave him another acupuncture and left a prescription, completing today's treatment. Li Jin also woke up and only drank half a bowl of medicine.
When I entered the room again, Mrs. Li was standing at the door and didn't go in.
Xiao Nanxing walked to the bed and sat down. Li Jin's eyes were empty, as if he treated her as air.
Xiao Nanxing took off the jade beads hanging around his neck and hypnotized him.
After a full half hour, she stood up with sweat on her forehead and left with Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li, who had heard the whole story, was now pale and shaky.
It turned out that Li Jin was not like this just because of Li Fan's car accident, she had been sexually assaulted by a strange man before.
The people who harmed her were her cousin and boyfriend. They also took videos and photos and bullied and threatened her for a long time.
