Chapter 1472 Embarrassment (Thanks to the book friend "Cherry Tomatoes are Ripe" for the reward)
She said, "Originally, we stopped on the road for a few days to see a doctor, but the doctors we saw weren't very good. She was actually getting worse and worse. When it looked like she was going to die, your fourth brother said we might as well hurry back to find you, so we sped up our journey. The bumpy ride these past few days has made your fourth sister-in-law feel even worse."
Manbao was checking Fourth Sister-in-law in the carriage. Outside, Bai Shan and Zhou Silang were already directing the carriage to pass the car in front and move forward. Daji drove the carriage out and handed it to Zhou Silang, then left it to lead the way for Sanzi and the others. Bai Shan instructed Zhou Silang to go to Chongyuanfang.
Zhou Silang had never been to this side of Daze Road, so when he turned into this wide and quiet street, he was a little confused for a moment, "Why don't you live in Changqing Lane?"
Bai Shan said, "Manbao cured the prince, and the prince gave her a house, so we moved."
Zhou Silang's mind was on the car behind him, so he nodded and didn't take it too seriously.
He knew that people in the capital were very generous, especially those in the palace, who would send Manbao gifts every now and then, and they were all quite valuable.
But when he really arrived in front of the mansion and saw the gate, he was still stunned.
Bai Shan didn't ask him to stop the car. He pointed to the main gate and asked him to drive to the side door.
There was just enough space for the carriage to enter.
Bai Shan jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door. The servant quickly removed the threshold to let the carriage in.
After a bumpy ride, the three children in the car woke up. When they saw their aunt, they started crying loudly.
Manbao felt so distressed when he saw that they had lost a lot of weight. He reached out and touched their heads, then jumped out of the car and asked Zhou Silang to carry his sister-in-law out of the car.
She led them to the yard, "We didn't know you brought your fourth and fifth sisters-in-law with you, so we cleared a room next to your fifth brother's..."
Bai Shan called a servant and asked him to ask the maid in the backyard to get some hot water and also to fetch Manbao's medicine box.
Zhou Silang put Fang on the bed. Manbao drove him out and then undressed Fang to check her. She touched her belly and waited for Bai Shan to ask the maid to bring in hot water and a medicine box. Then she gave her an acupuncture to wake her up.
Old Lady Liu and Zheng came quickly and saw Zhou Silang sitting on the steps holding a child, with two children timidly nestled beside him. They felt so distressed that they quickly asked someone to go to the kitchen to cook some meat soup.
She reached out and took the child from Zhou Silang's arms, and said softly, "Let's wash the child first."
She frowned, "Why did you bring such a young child to the capital?"
Zhou Silang also felt a little regretful.
His mother did not agree with him bringing Batou and Qitou, but his wife and the fifth brother's wife were reluctant to leave their children. Besides, he had walked this road to the capital three times and was quite familiar with it. The weather was neither cold nor very hot, so it was a perfect time for the trip. He thought nothing would happen, but who knew that something would happen anyway.
I should have listened to him earlier.
Zhou Silang lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Old Lady Liu turned around and handed the child to Zheng, asking her to take the child downstairs to wash and feed him something.
The three children suddenly felt a little shy and unhappy, so they started crying.
Zhou Silang quickly cheered up and took the child downstairs.
Old Lady Liu hurried into the room, and Manbao inserted the needle. Perhaps because she felt the pain, Fang woke up slowly.
Manbao was surprised, "Fourth sister-in-law, are you awake?"
Fang called out "Manbao" weakly, then closed her eyes and was about to faint again.
Manbao quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, does your stomach hurt? Or does your chest hurt?"
She felt around her, paying close attention to her condition, and soon got the answer from the expression on her face.
Manbao quickly removed the needle, changed the acupuncture technique, and then went to write a prescription.
Madam Liu stood aside and watched. After she finished writing the prescription, she took it and said, "I'll ask Shanbao to get the medicine."
She looked at Mrs. Lu who was sitting beside her wiping her tears and said softly, "Sister Zhou Wu, do you want to go wash up?"
Lu looked at Manbao.
Manbao nodded, and Lu went out.
When Bai Shan got the medicine, she knew that they were all available at home, so she turned around to get the medicine. After a while, she handed it to the servant and asked her to boil the medicine.
Manbao and Zheng wiped Fang's hands and face together.
Old Madam Liu sent someone to the restaurant to inform Zhou Wulang and others. Manbao took out a ginseng from the system while avoiding others.
That was the gift Zheng Gu gave him as his apprenticeship gift. She cut a piece of ginseng and put it into Fang's mouth, then waited.
Zhou Silang quickly came in and asked, "Manbao, how is your fourth sister-in-law?"
Manbao said: "You have to take care of it slowly."
Zhou Silang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, because that meant he could survive.
Bai Shan said from outside: "Brother Zhou Si, go and wash up quickly, we are here."
Manbao also nodded, "Fourth brother, go ahead. Fifth brother should be back soon."
After the medicine was ready, Manbao and Zheng fed her the medicine and wiped her body. Manbao looked at the time, inserted the needle into her body, and when he felt that her hands and feet were not so cold anymore, he removed the needle and covered her with a quilt.
Old Madam Liu had already asked the kitchen to prepare food for them, and Daji had also returned with his convoy.
Liu Gui arranged rooms and food for his third son and others in the front yard. When Zhou Wulang came back, Lu had just washed herself and her three children.
There was no way around it. Zhou Silang didn't know how to take care of children at all. The so-called grooming was just wiping the child's face and feeding him.
Zhou Wulang thought he was dreaming when he saw his wife and child. It took him a while to come to his senses. "You, why are you here?"
Mrs. Lu hugged him and cried.
Why are they here?
Now she was confused. Anyway, Zhou Silang had harvested enough tea leaves and everyone was in high spirits. The farm work in the fields had also been completed.
Because there are fewer people in the family this year and there is more land, in order not to miss the farming season, my father-in-law was generous for once and agreed to my mother-in-law's suggestion to pay for a few temporary workers to help.
So when Zhou Silang came back with a few carts of tea, they became interested and wanted to go to Beijing as well.
Qian didn't object to them going to Beijing, because she thought that Zhou Silang would have to take care of his marriage in the capital, and Zhou Silang and the others were men after all, so they might not be able to take care of many things.
But she disagreed with them bringing the children along, because they were still young, and even the fifth child was still at home. Why should they bring a few little ones along?
But both Lu and Fang were reluctant to part with the child, so they insisted on taking care of him. Because of this, there was some unpleasantness in the family.
She hugged Zhou Wulang and cried, "Everything was fine at first, and the journey was smooth. But when we arrived at a place called Chenggu County, we met a group of people. They said they wanted to buy tea from Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle said the tea was to be sent to the capital, but they insisted on buying it, so Fourth Uncle had no choice but to give them a bag of tea. Who knew they would want all the tea..."
Manbao also came out of the house and frowned, "Forced purchase?"
Lu nodded repeatedly.
See you tomorrow
