Yu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly. Cui Mubai's persuasion for her to ask Cheng Ying to promote Yu Qizhe made her feel strange.
"Brother Yu Wu is my father's disciple, so he will naturally be taken care of by my father. There is no need for me to worry about this." She smiled slightly and said lightly.
After hearing this, Cui Mubai realized that he had spoken too much and would be in danger of being wrong. Yaozhen, his third sister, was very alert. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she was not someone who could be easily fooled and would not be easily led by others.
The two of them had already reached the gate of the East Garden, and he smiled, "Third sister is right. My father-in-law also told me some time ago that Editor Yu had entered the Hanlin Academy and asked me to take care of him."
Hearing him say this, Yu Jiao felt a little relieved. She was just talking nonsense just now and actually didn't know whether her father would take care of Yu Qizhe.
The two entered the yard. There were crabapple trees planted in the east garden, and the whole tree was in bloom with pink flowers. In the main room, Madam Liu, her daughter and her three daughters were talking and laughing. When they saw Yu Jiao and Cui Mubai coming in together, they just took their pulses and saved themselves the trouble of going to the front yard to call them over.
Cui Mubai bowed to Madam Liu, sat down next to Liu Yaozhen, and explained to her with a smile, "When I came here from the front yard, I met my cousin Wei. After talking to him, I met my third sister coming here, so we came here together."
Liu Yaozhen glared at him and said, "This is my third sister, not someone else. Who cares about this?" But her heart felt as sweet as honey, and she felt very comfortable.
Cui Mubai has always been so self-disciplined. He is usually very polite when meeting women and seldom talks to them. Even if he has to say a few more words to a woman one day, he will take the initiative to explain the reason without waiting for Liu Yaozhen to get jealous. He is completely different from those dissolute and romantic young men in the capital. He only treats her as his wife for intimacy.
It is hard for a woman not to fall in love with such a good man when she marries him.
Perhaps nothing in this world is perfect, and God couldn't bear to see her living such a good life, so he was reluctant to give her a child.
Liu Yaozhen wanted so much to give birth to a child for Cui Mubai that when she couldn't sleep at night, she thought about arranging a maid for Cui Mubai. But she felt very sad in her heart because she really didn't want to share her husband with another woman.
If Cui Mubai was not so good, and had a concubine in his room before marriage, or had the bad habit of drinking and having sex like the children of officials, she would not love him as much as she does now, and perhaps she would not care about the concubine.
But since she married Cui Mubai, he has been very kind to her in every way and has treated her with unique care and consideration. She has been doted on with such love that she can no longer accept him taking a concubine or another woman giving birth to his child.
Fortunately, the third sister knows medicine, and she came to the capital just in time. If it was a few years later, in order to deal with the elders of the Cui family and to expand the Cui family, she would have to arrange for Cui Mubai to take a concubine even if she was reluctant. After all, the three unfilial acts are not having descendants, and the worst one is not having children. Not having an heir is one of the seven reasons for divorce.
"Third sister, this is cordyceps from outside Yanmen Pass. I brought a box specially for you." Liu Yaozhen signaled the maid to put the box of cordyceps on the table next to Yu Jiao. "I have troubled you to take care of my husband and me in recent days. I don't know what you like, but since you are a doctor, this cordyceps is perfect for you."
Yu Jiao opened the box and took a look. The Cordyceps was of excellent color and large in size without being hollow. It was a rare treasure. She smiled and said, "Big sister, you are being polite. This Cordyceps is suitable for nourishing my brother-in-law."
Liu Yaozhen heard her hidden meaning and her eyes lit up slightly. She had heard that Cordyceps could cure kidney deficiency and essence deficiency, so she spent a lot of money to buy it from traveling merchants going outside the Great Wall.
"I see that elder sister and brother-in-law look very good today. I'll take your pulses and see if the prescription needs to be adjusted." Yu Jiao said.
Liu Yaozhen came here today because she felt that the prescription Yu Jiao wrote for Cui Mubai was effective. During the past few days of intercourse, she could feel that the feeling was very different from before, and her husband seemed to be much more vigorous. She wanted to ask Yu Jiao if she could get pregnant soon if this continued. However, she couldn't ask these questions in front of Cui Mubai, after all, her husband still thought that the prescription his third sister wrote for him was for treating cold deficiency.
Liu Yaozhen stretched out her hand and asked Yu Jiao to feel her pulse. She didn't have any illness, so she mainly wanted to feel Cui Mubai's pulse.
Yu Jiao put her hand on Cui Mubai's pulse through a handkerchief as she did in the past. After feeling Cui Mubai's pulse, Yu Jiao felt a little confused.
Seeing that her pulse was taking longer than usual, Liu Yaozhen felt uneasy and asked, "How is your brother-in-law's pulse?"
Yu Jiao took her hand back after a long time, "Brother-in-law's health has improved a lot." Although she said so, Yu Jiao frowned slightly. Cui Mubai's pulse was no different from that of an ordinary man. The prescription she wrote could not have such an immediate effect. If kidney yang deficiency could be cured so easily, there would not be so many men's hospitals in later generations.
Cui Mubai's pulse seemed strong on the surface, but Yu Jiao always felt that there was something strange about it, as if he had taken something warming to the yang.
She raised her eyes to look at Cui Mubai, "Has Brother-in-law taken any other prescriptions recently?"
Cui Mubai shook his head and said with an elegant smile, "Although I know nothing about medicine, I also know that prescriptions cannot be mixed to avoid conflicting medicinal properties."
Yu Jiao smiled faintly. Yu Jiao had checked Cui Mubai's pulse many times recently. Impotence and spermatorrhea cannot be cured in a short time. Although Cui Mubai should not lie about this matter, it is also possible that he did not care about what he took. After all, she was still somewhat confident in her medical skills.
