Chongzhou, Wanjia.
After the beginning of autumn, the weather is clear and the weather is mild, with the west wind blowing through the courtyard.
After crying bitterly that day, Xizhi slept in a daze for several days. Doctor Dai came to take her pulse every day, but his expression became more relaxed day by day.
"You can gradually stop taking the Bu Shen San." Divine Doctor Dai spread out paper and changed the prescription, prescribing a mild and nourishing Gu Yuan Tang to Xu Jiang. "Take this soup once a day. Don't boil it too thick. It's best to take it in the morning. It has the effect of concentrating the mind and gathering energy."
"Yes." Xu Jiang took the prescription, looked at it carefully, and passed it to Liu Mei. "Thank you for your help."
Liu Mei had gained some experience in taking care of Madam Lou over the years, and since she was someone who could not be overly stressed, she followed the rules of the Lou family and managed the small courtyard in a very neat and comfortable manner.
Now that he had the prescription, he sent a servant outside to wait for him, and later he would go with Doctor Dai to get the medicine.
Xu Jiang escorted Divine Doctor Dai out, who advised, "Madam has worn herself out over the years. Now that she's relaxed, it's only natural for her to get more sleep. Don't worry too much. However, vitality comes from movement, so don't let her lie down all the time. Proper movement while awake can help circulate qi and blood, which will also help her sleep soundly at night."
"No need to bother." It's not as hot as it was a few days ago, and Xizhi's body can bear it. It's good to move around, and it can also broaden her mind.
When she feels better after a few days and the autumn scenery is in full bloom, I can take her out for a walk.
Doctor Dai also gave some instructions about diet and daily routine, and Xu Jiang wrote them down one by one.
After sending the person out of the hospital, the servant and Liu Mei were waiting there. Doctor Dai said goodbye to them and went to the front hall to find Wan Sheng to report the pulse case. He also asked the servant to follow him to get the medicine.
It happened that Shan Bo was coming over here with a basket of pomegranates. When they met, they inevitably exchanged a few words. Shan Bo stuffed two pomegranates into the hands of Doctor Dai, and the two said goodbye with a smile.
Shan Bo was not idle at the Wan family these days. In less than half a month, he had a thorough understanding of the Wan family's population, family property, connections, and whether there were any lawsuits.
I felt relieved when I knew that although the Wan family had some minor lawsuits in their business, they had not done anything immoral or unscrupulous.
Otherwise, not to mention Xu Jiang, even he would not feel at ease leaving Madam Wan in Chongzhou.
Xu Jiang laughed and said, "Shan Bo, where have you been with Zhenji again?"
"I went to the farm and saw that the pomegranates were growing well, so I picked some and brought them back for you to try." Shan Bo handed her the basket. She took it and looked. There were still seven or eight of them, all of them red and big.
"You don't want to eat?"
"Oh, don't mention it." He covered his cheek, the sour feeling almost flying up to his eyebrows. "Master Wan let me taste a few, my old teeth are rotten, I can't handle it, and it's sour right now."
Xu Jiang and Liu Mei couldn't help laughing.
Shan Bo also laughed, and then said: "On my way back, I stopped by the post station to mail a letter. The postmaster said there was an urgent message to be delivered back to the capital, so he brought it along for us. It should arrive in seven or eight days."
Xu Jiang said happily, "That's great! Uncle and aunt will be relieved when they receive the letter."
When Shan Bo first arrived in Chongzhou and settled down at the post station, he wanted to send a message back to the capital. However, the situation was still unclear at the time, and Xu Jiang stopped him for fear that sending a message would only cause the two of them to worry.
Now that the situation has stabilized and Xizhi's condition has gradually improved, Xu Jiang proudly sent letters to Lou Jing, Madam Lou, Master Lin, Liang Mo, and Manager Wang to report that they were safe.
At the same time, he also conveyed the good news to them and told them that he would stay in Chongzhou for a while and would return to Beijing after his mother was fully awake and her condition stabilized.
She also sent a letter to Lou Yunchun. Although she didn't know when he would return to Beijing or when she would be able to see it, she just didn't want to be without him. She also didn't know how he would feel when he saw the letter full of gossip.
"I also asked the postmaster about the news in the northwest."
Shan Bo's words brought Xu Jiang's spirit back to her senses. She asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Shan Bo shook his head, "No news yet."
Hearing this, Xu Jiang felt relieved. No news for the time being was good news.
Shan Bo continued, "There's been quite a stir in the capital. It's said that the Liu family has been raided."
Xu Jiang was not surprised by this. Since the sage had decided to take action, starting with the Zhou family, it was only a matter of time before he would deal with the Liu and Wang families and their cronies.
Shan Bo continued, "Also, the Zhou family was sentenced. Zhou Huai and Zhou Shancai were sent to Lianzhou to reclaim wasteland. The rest of the males were sent to the northwest to guard the border, and the females were made slaves of the government."
"Your Majesty is merciful." If the strict laws of the previous dynasty were followed, Zhou Huai and Zhou Shancai would at least be doomed to death.
"Exile is worse than death for people like this, not to mention having to reclaim wasteland and guard the border. But it's time for these people, who usually abuse their power, to experience the suffering of the poor people, so they can understand how despicable and abhorrent their daily exploitation of the people is."
Xu Jiang deeply agreed with this.
Shan Bo said with relief: "Once these pests are eliminated, everything will be safe both inside and outside." His young master would not have to run around in danger like this, and the master and mistress would not have to worry about him anymore.
Xu Jiang was also happy.
The sage's actions indicated that Lou Yunchun's trip to the northwest was going smoothly. As long as he completed the task assigned by the sage and successfully completed the mission, he would be able to return to the capital soon.
It's a pity that she won't be able to see his triumphant return, and she doesn't know if he will be disappointed if he can't see her then.
Just as she was feeling lost, a little maid ran out of her room and said to Xu Jiang, "Miss, the Madam has woken up and is looking for you."
"I'm coming." Xu Jiang became happy again and said to Shan Bo and Liu Mei, "It seems that today is a good day. All the happy events have come together."
"Isn't it?" Shan Bo stroked his beard and said, "We should celebrate it properly."
"What are you celebrating?" After returning home, Wan Qingmiao went to report to Wan Sheng and pay his respects. When he came out, he ran into Doctor Dai. After hearing him say that his mother's condition had improved significantly, he couldn't wait to come to Tingyun Pavilion.
