Zhang Zhuangtou glanced at everyone in the room and continued, "This matter should not be made public. I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of our young lady. Please do not spread it outside."
Yu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, our family is not the kind of people who like to talk too much."
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Qin turned her head to look at Yu Jiao and continued, "It's not easy for the young lady in the mansion to come to my house for treatment. I have to trouble Miss Meng to go to the Zhang Mansion with me."
Yu Jiao readily agreed and nodded, "Okay."
Yu Ruhai on the side said nothing. He would not stop Yu Jiao from going to the wealthy families in the town to see patients. Besides, the medical fees paid by such wealthy families were high. Even if Yu Jiao did not agree, he would accept it on her behalf.
"Then how about we go to your house today?" Zhang Qin asked immediately.
Yu Jiao nodded, "Of course you can, but I haven't eaten yet. I'll go with you guys after I finish my meal."
Zhang Qinshi nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "It was my husband and I who were reckless. It was really because the lady in the mansion urged us to hurry up." She looked at Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhoushi apologetically, "I'm really sorry for delaying your meal."
"No problem, no problem." Yu Zhou smiled kindly and asked Song to serve the rice.
Yu Ruhai had other plans in mind. The Zhangs were going to the mansion to treat a woman's illness, so it was obviously not possible for him to go with them. However, he was not very reassured about letting Yu Jiao go to the Zhang mansion alone with Zhang Zhuangtou and his wife. Not to mention that Meng Yujiao had never seen the world, if she accidentally did something wrong or said something wrong and offended someone at the Zhang mansion, he was afraid that she would take the opportunity to sneak away.
Yu Ruhai saw clearly that Meng Yujiao was now the cash cow of their Yu family. In just over a month, she had earned more money in medical fees than he could earn in a year before. She also had wealthy families like the Mu family and the Zhang family come to her for medical treatment. If Meng Yujiao was around, there would definitely be a constant stream of patients from such wealthy families in the future. No matter what, he had to keep a close eye on her.
He thought for a while and the food was already served in the main room.
Yu Zhou and Zhang Qin chatted for a long time and invited them to have some more food together, but the two declined and just sat aside to drink tea.
Yu Qizhe also came to the main room to eat. Yu Jiao sat beside him, picked up the bowl and concentrated on eating.
Yu Ruhai was eating, looking at Yu Jiao lovingly, and said, "Grandfather is worried about you going out as a girl, why not let Zhixing go with you."
Yu Jiao thought about it. She would need to get a prescription. Although she had practiced calligraphy with Yu Qizhe for more than a month, her handwriting was still terrible.
Yu Zhixing had also attended academy for a few years, so writing prescriptions should not be a problem for him, and he nodded in agreement.
Yu Fuling, who was standing by, also wanted to follow Yu Jiao to see the patient and learn more things, but she was afraid that Yu Ruhai would disagree, so she kept winking at Yu Jiao.
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were about to twitch, Yu Jiao said, "Fuling should go too. It will be more convenient for her to go with you."
Yu Ruhai thought that the patient at Zhang's house was a young lady, and it would be inappropriate for Yu Zhixing to enter a girl's boudoir even if he followed her, so he nodded and told Yu Fuling, "Fuling, you are the eldest sister, and Meng girl is young after all, so you still have to take care of her more when she is out."
Yu Fuling nodded quickly, "Grandfather, I saved it."
After dinner, Yu Jiao took a peach from the fruit basket on the table. Since she came to the Tai Yan Dynasty, she had never eaten any fruit!
Zhao saw this and wanted to reprimand her, but Yu Zhou stopped her with a look. Instead, she looked at Yu Jiao kindly and said, "Wash it before eating."
