Chapter 282 Buy a Chicken and Cook It
"Besides, you learned farming from me, and I never asked for any tuition from you. Tu Subo, you're asking for more than you deserve!"
Tu Subo held her in his arms, laughed softly, and said vaguely that he would use his body to resist, but only because Gu Yuexuan angrily twisted his arm did he obediently control the horse.
After Tu Subo entered the city, he took Gu Yuexuan straight to the place where he had agreed to meet with Doctor Wen.
What is coming cannot be avoided.
Compared with those who were critical and cold-eyed towards Tu Subo and Tu Sumin, Doctor Wen's love for Gu Yuexuan seemed particularly deep.
The old man smiled as soon as he saw Gu Yuexuan's pretty face. He was even more delighted when he saw her politely bowing to him. He couldn't help but urge her repeatedly: "Hey, hurry up, sit down quickly."
Oh, it really makes me feel sad. Could it be that Tu Subo was so reluctant to let you have a full meal that you became so thin?
Gu Yuexuan felt that she was not too thin, but her face was pale, but she did not realize that there was anything wrong with it.
Doctor Wen criticized Tu Subo with contempt. He motioned for Gu Yuexuan to extend her hand so he could feel her pulse. He frowned and muttered, "You've been weak since childhood, and you haven't taken good care of yourself. Your pulse is far too weak."
"Change to your other hand."
Gu Yuexuan suppressed her anxiety and slowly extended her hand. The old man's expression gradually became serious: "I heard that you don't seem willing to take the medicine? How dare you disobey the doctor's advice at such a young age?"
Gu Yuexuan forced a bitter smile and tried to explain: "It's not that I didn't follow the doctor's orders."
"I just don't like being sick. I eat right and get enough sleep. I just think Tu Subo is a little too nervous. Actually, I'm fine."
I don't want to take medicine.
Doctor Wen's eyes widened and he sternly rebuked, "Ridiculous!"
"Who told you that you have to wait until you get sick to feel its horror? Once you're sick, will it be too late to remedy it?"
"Why don't you take a good look at the color of your lips in the mirror? They're horribly pale. Such a pale complexion indicates a serious loss of Qi and blood. Do you think this is harmless?"
"This congenital deficiency has caused a particularly severe loss. Now that I'm young and can still handle it, it's fine. But if I neglect it, I'll be plagued by illness at best, and even endanger my life at worst. Do you think I'm kidding?"
Gu Yuexuan seemed to have been convinced on the surface, but she still felt a little skeptical in her heart.
Tu Subo's brows gradually knitted together: "Is it really that serious?"
The old man glared at him and said in a cold and hard tone: "What do you think?"
"I reminded you long ago to bring him to me for treatment, but it's been delayed for over two months! And no one has taken this seriously! If you don't come to visit me today, I'll come to your house myself!"
Tu Subo pursed his lips, lowered his head and endured the scolding without saying a word.
Doctor Wen finished his endless enumeration, then opened the exquisite little medicine box he carried with him, took out a pen and paper, and the tip of the pen danced on the paper like a dragon.
"In her condition, drinking nourishing soup alone is not enough. She needs to be supplemented with medication. Still follow the dosage of one dose every three days, and don't skip a single meal."
"By the way, does she feel cold hands and feet every winter?"
Tu Subo placed his hand lightly on Gu Yuexuan's shoulder and nodded affectionately, "Indeed."
"She also tends to feel cold easily when the seasons change and the climate changes. Even on a scorching summer day, her skin always remains slightly cool to the touch, but she doesn't seem overly sensitive to the cold."
Doctor Wen snorted indignantly and said in a harsh tone, "According to what your grandfather said, she's busy all day, sweating profusely. How could she have the time to feel the cold?"
Fortunately, these physical labors not only consumed her physical strength, but also invisibly strengthened her physique.
Otherwise, how could this petite body bear it?
"I don't have enough herbs with me, so you can take this prescription and make your own. The ingredients aren't hard to find, but make sure you have all of them. Use the foot bath bag every two days, and during your monthly bath, soak your feet in it for a quarter of an hour. Remember, don't soak your feet for too long, as this can cause qi deficiency and dizziness, which can be harmful."
Doctor Wen wrote quickly as he spoke, filling two sheets of paper with dense writing in the blink of an eye. He then handed them to Tu Subo: "Use this prescription for three months. Come back to see me for a follow-up consultation in winter. I will then make adjustments based on your pulse condition."
Gu Yuexuan sniffed the familiar bitter smell emanating from the small medicine box, her tongue curling slightly: "Is this... really necessary? I..."
"Why not?"
Doctor Wen said sternly, "If your family wasn't in such a bad state and no longer as prosperous as it once was, with your physical condition, I would definitely ask Tu Subo to take you to another village to recuperate in winter."
He said with a hint of regret and a bitter smile, "You may not know that the Tusu family owns a beautiful villa outside Beijing. They use hot spring water to build hot spring pools of various sizes. If this medicine bag can be used in a hot spring pool, the effect will definitely be better and it will be of great benefit to your body."
Unfortunately, such a wish is ultimately difficult to achieve.
No matter how precious the item is, if it cannot be taken out at this moment, you have to find another way to make up for the regret.
Doctor Wen sighed with emotion. Tu Subo pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you suggesting that the hot springs were helpful to her?"
"Of course."
"Winter is a good time for nourishment. Hot springs are as warm as spring, yet not dry. They are truly beneficial to her, but unfortunately, they are hard to find in the world."
Doctor Wen then took out two exquisite small porcelain bottles and handed them to Tu Subo, slowly explaining, "These are health-preserving pills prepared for your grandfather. When you take them back, be sure to tell him to take one pill daily and remember to avoid drinking alcohol while taking them."
Tu Subo respectfully accepted it with both hands, and stood up with Gu Yuexuan, thanking him profusely. Doctor Wen insisted on not seeing him off, but his expression was a little gloomy.
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "Tu Subo, I think..."
"This elder served the late emperor and holds considerable prestige in the eyes of the current emperor. He has served as the head of the academy for twenty years. If he had not offered to come to the Fuling camp, the court would not have been willing to let him go so easily."
Tu Subo calmly recounted Doctor Wen's remarkable medical skills, then turned to look at the stunned Gu Yuexuan with a faint smile. "Xuanxuan, you seemed to have something to say just now?"
Gu Yuexuan looked confused and replied awkwardly, "Well, nothing much."
"I just want to suggest that we buy a chicken when we go back tonight. I want to taste the delicious chicken soup."
Tu Subo nodded calmly: "Okay, I'll stew it for you when I get home."
Gu Yuexuan lowered her head meekly, allowing Tu Subo to gently put the sunshade hat on her head, and was led by him out of the teahouse where she was receiving temporary treatment.
Cheng Jing'en had been standing by the counter since early in the morning, leaning against it from time to time, looking around anxiously. He would also occasionally walk outside with his hands behind his back, clearly waiting for someone to arrive.
