Chapter 19 Can't You Be More Sensible?
Jiang Wanyin, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is quite good. She is gentle and good-looking. Unfortunately, she is a sick old woman and was married to the seventh prince a few years ago.
Although Jiang Guiyu is intelligent, she doesn't like her weak and effeminate nature, and she is already engaged to Lord Xiao Lu, a new noble in the court.
The new one was brought back by his son. The two of them met, but there didn't seem to be any sparks.
He frowned irritably and raised her hand, "No need to write."
Jiang Qingyue returned home and went straight to Liuxiang Pavilion.
The court doctor was still waiting there, just to consult Jiang Qingyue.
Other people who study medicine follow medical books word for word, but her master taught her from unexpected perspectives.
This is just the basics. Jiang Qingyue did not hide her shortcomings and taught her method to the court doctor. The court doctor accepted the teachings with an open mind and used inferences from one example to argue with her.
Mother Xu watched with a smile, and waited until the court doctor left before she spoke to Jiang Qingyue.
“The eldest lady has never liked sour food since she was a child. The court doctor waited until just now to verify this.
Unexpectedly, the young lady really took it as an appetite-stimulating act and even said she wanted to drink sour plum soup.
Miss Sour Plum Soup hasn't been touched in nearly ten years. Not only was the court doctor shocked, but I was also shocked.
This is the first time I've heard the young lady crave something sour."
Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "But sour food and medicine are incompatible. Let's give Big Sister some preserved fruit to satisfy her craving."
Mother Xu's eyes filled with tears. "Okay, okay, I'll get ready right away. Miss Qingyue, you are really capable."
Jiang Wanyin happened to be awake and waved for her to come over.
"Why are you back so soon?"
She sneered and handed over the jewelry she had bought.
"Big sister, let me put it on for you."
As she spoke, she used the hairpin to tie a bun and inserted it into Jiang Wanyin's hair.
Que'er was startled, "Miss, didn't you buy this for yourself?"
When Jiang Wanyin heard this, she became even more unwilling to accept it and raised her hand to take it down.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Que'er, and Que'er knelt down and apologized.
She sighed, "Get up, I didn't say anything to you.
This hairpin was originally bought for my elder sister. She looks better on me than on me."
Then he turned to ask Mother Xu, and Mother Xu nodded in agreement.
Mother Xu's eyes were moist.
A person who has suffered in the northern border for so many years has finally lived a good life. He will definitely be dazzled by the good things in Yanjing City.
As a young lady who loves beauty, it is only right for her to buy herself some decent jewelry.
These things should have been prepared by the lady, but Miss Qingyue had to buy them herself. It's heartbreaking to tell others about it.
But she really didn't expect that this hairpin was actually bought as a gift for the eldest lady.
"Miss Qingyue knows how to be grateful, so please accept it, Miss."
Mother Xu wiped away her tears and said, "The eldest lady has never worn these since she became seriously ill, and no one has thought of giving them to her.
Miss Qingyue, you are the first one to give her jewelry. You are so thoughtful."
Jiang Qingyue looked at Jiang Wanyin's thin face and felt a little distressed.
"Big sister was always very pretty, but she lost some weight after she got sick."
She helped to adjust the hairpin, "It's okay when you're lying down, but big sister is in good spirits now, so she still needs to dress up a little.
They say women dress to please themselves, but I think it’s best not to care about what others think. "
Mother Xu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, our eldest daughter used to like beautiful women the most."
Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "Big sister was born prematurely and was weak when she was young. Furthermore, she caught a cold after falling into the water two years ago and wasn't well recovered. I looked at the prescription, and the medicine was too strong. Over time, she's been depleted and her condition is getting worse."
"Can it be cured?" Mother Xu asked anxiously.
Jiang Qingyue nodded, "As long as she receives proper treatment, she will be well again in less than half a year."
However, it has been too long. Even if he can recover, he can only barely save his life. He needs to be taken extra careful care in the future.
Mother Xu cried with joy.
"That's good, that's good. The young lady has been ill for so long, it's time for her to get better."
Jiang Wanyin was cheered up by their words and showed a long-lost smile from the heart.
After talking for a while, Jiang Wanyin felt tired.
Mother Xu walked Jiang Qingyue out, saying as she walked, "It's all that quack doctor's fault. He's done so much harm! If he hadn't prescribed the wrong medicine, the young lady wouldn't have suffered like this!"
quack?
Not the court doctor?
Hearing the problem, Jiang Qingyue stopped and looked at Mother Xu, "Isn't this the prescription prescribed by the court doctor? Who invited the doctor?"
Mother Xu thought for a moment, then said, "It was Miss Guiyu who recommended it!"
Jiang Qingyue's eyes darkened.
Seeing Miss Qingyue's expression change, Mother Xu felt a little uneasy. Could it be...
At this moment, the servants outside the courtyard bowed and called out "Madam". When they turned around, they saw Madam Jiang coming over with Jiang Guiyu.
"Qingyue, I heard that you just left the house today and you spent two hundred taels of silver in just a short while?
You've just returned to Yanjing and you're already squandering money like this. What will others say about our Jiang family in the future?"
Mrs. Jiang's words sounded righteous, as if Jiang Qingyue had really done something very wrong and brought great disgrace to the Jiang family.
Que'er was about to explain when Jiang Guiyu coughed twice and then spoke slowly.
"Mother, don't be angry first. Sister Qingyue just returned to Yanjing, and everything is new to her. She took the compliments seriously.
When I have time next time, I will take Sister Qingyue out for a walk more often, and she won’t be deceived again.”
Jiang Guiyu's understanding made Mrs. Jiang feel that Jiang Qingyue was a poorly educated and unsatisfied person. She felt more and more that this biological daughter she had found was not as good as Jiang Guiyu.
Sure enough, the one who is kept by your side all the time is the most satisfying.
Mrs. Jiang was full of disappointment, "Qingyue, can't you be more sensible?"
Faced with these accusations, Jiang Qingyue wanted to explain at first, but since she and her mother were in sync, she didn't want to say anything anymore.
"Mom, how can you say that about Qingyue?"
Jiang Wanyin's weak voice suddenly came from behind.
Jiang Qingyue quickly turned around and saw Jiang Wanyin standing by the door frame. She was thin and coughed several times in a hurry.
Jiang Qingyue took a few steps forward, gently helped her to breathe, and comforted her softly.
"Wan Yin."
While Mrs. Jiang urged someone to call the court doctor, she took over Jiang Qingyue's actions and helped Jiang Wanyin to breathe smoothly.
"I know you care about your two sisters, but it is indeed Qingyue who is insecure in this matter. You don't have to speak for her."
"Mom." Jiang Wanyin was helpless. "You don't listen to Qingyue, so you won't listen to me either?"
Mrs. Jiang stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time to react.
"Wanyin, how could you say so much at once..."
I can get out of bed!
Jiang Guiyu looked worried and said, "Big sister, please save your energy so as not to hurt yourself."
Whenever Jiang Wanyin opened her mouth, she would be interrupted by Madam Jiang and Jiang Guiyu. Seeing that Jiang Qingyue was not going to speak, Mother Xu bravely stepped forward.
"Madam, Second Miss, I have something to say."
Mrs. Jiang was angry and her tone was not very good.
"You want to excuse her too?"
Madam Xu shook her head. "Last time I went back to Madam's courtyard and told her that the young lady's condition had improved. Why doesn't Madam seem to know about this? Doesn't she know that the young lady's condition has improved a lot?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was stunned again, while Jiang Guiyu next to her started coughing violently.
"Return Jade."
Mrs. Jiang held her in her arms, feeling very distressed.
"Is your cough coming back? I'll take you back first."
"Sister Guiyu, is your cough coming back? Why don't I come and take a look first?"
After hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, Mrs. Jiang remembered that she also knew medical skills.
"Hurry up and show it to Guiyu."
Jiang Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you really want me to treat her? My medical skills are not very good, and I am afraid of hurting the Second Young Lady. But since Madam has asked, I can still give it a try."
Jiang Guiyu shook his head and pretended to cough.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyue had already buckled her wrist. She felt a pain in her wrist and looked down to see a silver needle stuck in her wrist.
She screamed in fear, but found that she could not make any sound.
