Chapter 78 Marriage



Yu Jiao also reminded, "If the young lady has her period, do not add medicine to the bath."

Madam Zhang said to the personal maidservant who was serving Zhang Xiuyue, "Have you written down everything? There must not be any mistakes."

"Yes, ma'am." The two maids responded quickly.

The person Jiang Qinghe sent to Zhang's house to inquire about the news had not yet received a reply, but unexpectedly, Zhang's servant came to Huichuntang to get medicine.

Jiang Qinghe took the two prescriptions and looked at them carefully. He saw that the prescriptions were for replenishing qi and blood, strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys. He felt strange and asked casually, "Who is sick in your house? Why didn't you ask me to go down and take a look?"

The servant had been told when he came, and now he responded fluently, "It's our housekeeper who is sick, it's not a serious illness. The housekeeper said that Doctor Jiang has many patients and it's not good to bother him. It happened that Zhang, the housekeeper from the manor, came and brought a young lady who knows some medical skills, so I asked her to prescribe a prescription."

Jiang Qinghe's doubts were dispelled when he heard this. He asked the medicine boy to prepare the medicine for the servant according to the prescription. He turned and went into the back hall and told Chen Yu everything the Zhang family's servant had said.

Chen Yu lay on the couch with his eyes closed and dozed off, while a maid was kneeling on the ground beside him, massaging his shoulders.

After hearing Jiang Qinghe's words, Shen Yu didn't even raise his head, but just waved his hand lazily.

Not long after Jiang Qinghe left the back hall, the servant who went to Zhang's house to inquire about the news came back.

"Master, I'm useless. I spent money to treat Zhang family's doorman to wine, but I didn't find out anything. He just said that those people went to the backyard." The servant said with his head down.

Chen Yu responded lazily and asked the servant to leave.

"Awu, guess who in the Zhang family is sick? If you can guess correctly, the young master will reward you with a bracelet." Chen Yu grabbed the maid's hand and turned over to sit up.

"Awu can't guess." The maid knelt on the ground and said obediently.

Chen Yu let go of her hand and pinched the maid's smooth face, "You are always so boring, the young master will not take you out in the future, your sister A Lu is more interesting."

Ah Wu smiled gently and said softly, "The young master is about to marry Miss Zhang, and Madam has told you not to speak rudely again."

Chen Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and she laughed coldly, "Zhang Xiuyue is not as pretty as you and A Lu, how can she be my wife?"

A Wu advised again, "Master, be careful with your words."

A hint of anger flashed across Shen Yu's brows, and he clenched the teacup on the table. If the Zhang family had not promised that as long as he married Zhang Xiu Yue, they would give the two grain shops in the city to the Shen family as a dowry, how could he have been forced into a marriage for nothing?

After a long silence, Chen Yu threw the teacup on the table and said uninterested, "Go back home."

After Zhang's servant got the medicine from Huichun Hall, he hurried back home and delivered the medicine to the backyard.

Yu Jiao carefully separated the mixed herbs and sorted them out, picked out herbs such as Cnidium monnieri, Hibiscus bark, and Sophora flavescens, adjusted the dosage, and re-prepared two sets of medicine before handing them to Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing that she could measure out the dosage with just her hands without a scale, Mrs. Zhang could not help but look at Yu Jiao carefully again, secretly wondering if this young country girl was the descendant of some miracle doctor?

Madam Zhang ordered someone to take out ten taels of silver and give it to Yu Jiao. The reason why she was so generous was to keep her mouth shut. She repeated her warning again, "Miss Meng, remember what happened today, you must not spread it."

Yu Jiao took the medical fee and said with a smile, "What happened today? I haven't met Miss Zhang or you, Madam. I just took the donkey cart of Zhang Zhuangtou to the town to buy something, and I also wrote a prescription for the weak butler Zhang."
