Yu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay."
People like them who come from the country may not be able to play together with Miss Mu.
Mu Yan took over the conversation, "I didn't tell you in detail before, you are here to see the wife of Governor Yang. The Third Madam will take you to the Yang family later."
Yu Jiao nodded, not too surprised. Since Mu Yan took the trouble to bring her from Qingyu Village and settle Yu Jinshu and others here, she had already figured that the family she wanted to see must be either rich or noble.
When Mrs. Mu San saw that she was going to see the prefect's wife, she did not show any anxiety or panic. She was a little uneasy at first, but now she felt much more at ease.
Originally, the Second Master wanted to bring a female doctor from the countryside to treat Madam Yang, but Madam Mu San was not very supportive. Could the medical skills of a female doctor from the countryside be better than those of the famous doctors in Qingzhou Prefecture? Although she was optimistic about his carbuncle, it might not be a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
But the second master insisted. The eldest master sent a letter back from the capital a few days ago, saying that the official position of Prefect Yang might be promoted, and he might also have to go to the capital. The prefect is a fourth-rank official position, and moving up will only lead to promotion. When he arrives in the capital, his official position might be higher than that of the eldest master. Let them interact more with the Yang family in Qingzhou, so that when Prefect Yang is really promoted in the future and goes to the capital, he will also have connections.
Since Madam Yang gave birth to a son a few years ago, she has seldom gone out. Even if someone invites her, she always says she is sick. Because the third master of the Mu family is the prefectural magistrate and works in the same office as Prefect Yang, Madam Mu is closer to Madam Yang.
She also made many inquiries and found out that after Mrs. Yang gave birth to a child, she suffered from gynecological diseases and had been in poor health.
After hearing this from her, Madam Mu told Mu Yan, which led to the decision to invite Yu Jiao to see the patient.
"I've sent someone to deliver the note. I should be back soon." Madam Mu San smiled and said, "You will go to Yang's house with me later. Don't worry about anything else and don't ask too many questions. Just help Madam Yang with her medical consultation."
Yu Jiao responded obediently.
Seeing that she was quiet and calm, and a person who was cautious in her words and actions, Mrs. Mu San felt relieved. After all, it would not be good for the news of women's illness to spread, and that was why Mrs. Yang had been keeping it a secret from the outside world.
After all, Yu Jiao was invited by Mu Yan. He recalled that when he went to Yu's house for a consultation, Yu Jiao had someone get him a fish to treat his illness. He said with a smile, "Although we are going to Magistrate Yang's house, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you need anything, just tell the Second Madam."
The servant who went to the Yang family to deliver the invitation came in from outside the hall. He bowed and said, "Madam Yang asked me to tell her that they have a guest coming to their house today, so it's a bit inconvenient, so you, Madam San, can come back tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Madam Mu waved to the servant, signaling him to go down first.
When treating women's illnesses, one must avoid being in the presence of others. Today, there are people at Yang's residence, so it is not right to let her bring a female doctor to visit.
Mu Yan said, "Since it's not convenient, then you can take Yu girl there tomorrow."
Madam Mu nodded and smiled at Yu Jiao, "Then I'll call you tomorrow."
Yu Jiao nodded.
Madam Mu San looked at what she and Yu Fuling were wearing. Although they came from a small place, they should still have some decent clothes if they were going to the Yang Mansion for medical treatment.
She remained calm and said with a smile, "I'll have the maid measure your sizes later. You've come from afar, so I should buy you two some clothes as a token of my appreciation."
Mrs. Mu smiled modestly and said, "I was negligent. My third brother and his wife are buying some new clothes. I will give you some jewelry as a gift."
Yu Jiao did not refuse. Although she was not interested in clothes and jewelry, she was afraid that if she declined, the two ladies of the Mu family would look bad. So she could only accept it in silence.
She knew that Madam Mu San did not really want to buy new clothes for her and Yu Fuling. She probably thought that what they wore was too shabby and not presentable enough.
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling returned to Luofu Courtyard. In the evening, a maid brought them clothes and jewelry. The clothes should have been bought from a ready-made clothing shop. The materials were very good. The top was satin with gold thread and silk engraving, and the bottom was a pleated skirt with scattered flowers.
Yu Fuling liked it very much. She tried on the clothes immediately, put on silver hairpins and flowers, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and urged Yu Jiao to try on the new clothes as well.
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I still like the dress you made. The stitches are fine and it's comfortable to wear."
Yu Fuling was not stupid. She knew that Madam Mu would not give them clothes and jewelry for no reason. She said, "My craftsmanship is not as good as the embroiderers in Qingzhou City. We'd better wear the clothes given by the Second Madam to meet people tomorrow."
Yu Jiao nodded.
The two of them were very bored staying in the room, so Yu Jiao asked the maid for paper and pen and practiced writing by copying medical books.
After each sheet was written, Yu Fuling would take it to look at. When she encountered symptoms and medications that she did not understand, she would ask Yu Jiao for advice. In this way, the two of them could not only pass the time, but also teach Yu Fuling some medical skills.
The next day, Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling did not disturb Yu Qizhe from studying. Not long after breakfast, Madam Mu San came to Luofuyuan. Seeing that Yu Jiao and her sister had changed into the dresses she had sent yesterday, she smiled and said, "Do the clothes fit you well? Sister Rong and the other maids like to wear bright clothes, so I decided to choose brighter colors for you."
Yu Jiao was wearing an apricot-yellow dress that made her face look fair. She said, "It fits me well. My sisters and I like it very much. Thank you for the trouble caused by the Third Madam."
Mrs. Mu San looked at her delicate and outstanding features. She didn't pay much attention to her at first, but thought that the girl was very calm. Now, after a little dressing up, she turned out to be a delicate and bright beauty.
But the elder sister next to her looks ordinary, and her eyebrows and temperament are not as lively as her younger sister.
She smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. We should go see Madam Yang."
Yu Fuling went to get the medicine box, and the two followed Madam Mu to the front yard.
The warm yellow sunlight of the early morning shone on the screen wall. The servant had already prepared the carriage and was standing outside the mansion gate, leading the horse. The old woman who served Madam Mu San walked up to the carriage, brought out a stool, and helped Madam Mu San get into the carriage first.
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling stepped on the stools and then got on the carriage.
The Yang Mansion was also located in Shuying Lane, not far from the Mu Family. After only an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped and the maid said outside the carriage, "Madam, we are here."
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling followed Madam Mu San down from the carriage. The maid from the Yang residence came forward with a smile and greeted them. After greeting them, she called out, "Madam Mu San."
He led them into the mansion from the west corner gate. The Yang Mansion was renovated just as well as the Mu Mansion. The courtyard was deep and had many ginkgo trees planted. On the branches hung green ginkgo leaves that had not yet matured.
After passing through the hanging flower gate and walking along the winding corridor to the marble screen hall, you will reach the inner house.
The maid led them into the east wing and said to the woman sitting inside, "Madam, Mrs. Mu San is here."
