Doctor Yi and Bao Changzhou were both confused. Hua Fushu knew that they had doubts, so he dispelled their concerns with a few words, and Bao Changzhou then found the prescription.
Hua Fushu read through the dozen or so prescriptions one by one, and asked about Doctor Yi's treatment of the child. After listening to Doctor Yi's statement, he learned that the child's condition sometimes improved and sometimes worsened, and then for three or two months it stopped improving and continued to worsen.
She asked Bao Changzhou again and found out that the child was born prematurely and was born weak. He was not strong enough until he was three or four years old. But he suddenly fell ill at the age of five or six. She consulted many doctors, but no one could cure him.
Hua Fushu already understood the reason why the child's condition worsened, and said to Sanqiao, "Tell me what you saw in the room before."
Bao Changzhou and Doctor Yi were slightly startled. Sanqiao said, "There are some remnants of Astragalus and Atractylodes on the dwarf pine in the young master's room. The soil is a little damp. I think it should have been watered with the medicinal juice."
Bao Changzhou looked at Sanqiao and Hua Fushu in disbelief. "Miss, are you saying that Jun'er didn't take the medicine, but poured it out?"
Hua Fushu said, “I think this isn’t the first time there are some residues in the flower garden.
Bao Changzhou was skeptical. "You mean Jun'er's condition worsened because he didn't take his medicine?"
Hua Fushu said: "Not all of them, I think it is one of them. I don't have any evidence, so you don't have to believe it, Mr. Bao."
Bao Changzhou listened to her words and remembered the prescription that Doctor Yi praised yesterday, so he believed her for the time being.
Hua Fushu discussed Jun'er's condition with Doctor Yi, but they were ultimately unable to confirm what disease he had. Hua Fushu even wanted to ask her master to come to Beijing, but she didn't know whether her master was in Lanling, so she gave up.
In response to the child's condition, Hua Fushu and Doctor Yi decided to treat tuberculosis, asthma, and strengthen the body, replenish blood and nourish qi. Hua Fushu advocated medicinal baths, but Doctor Yi advocated taking medicine.
Although the treatment plans were different, the two did not argue, and Bao Changzhou decided whether to take a medicinal bath or take medicine.
Bao Changzhou couldn't make up his mind, so he went to ask Zhang and his father, and finally decided on Hua Fushu's plan.
Doctor Yi felt quite disappointed and was about to leave, but Bao Changzhou kept him and asked him to work with Hua Fushu to treat his son Jun'er.
Hua Fushu couldn't refuse, so he agreed and discussed the medicine and dosage for the medicinal bath with Dr. Yi.
It was not until after noon that the two of them wrote a satisfactory medicinal bath recipe and handed it to Bao Changzhou. They also told him the time for the medicinal bath and explained some matters before returning to the clinic. Bao Changzhou wanted her to stay for dinner, but Hua Fushu refused and Sanqiao returned to Xinglin Clinic.
But Bao Changzhou kept Doctor Yi, fearing that his nephew might have an accident during the medicinal bath.
Sanqiao finally met the Tokyo governor who beat her daughter with a stick. After leaving the Bao family, she stepped on and scolded Bao Changzhou. Hua Fushu stuffed a bun into her mouth to stop her chattering.
Back at Xinglin Medical Clinic, Doctor Li found several stacks of prescriptions and asked Hua Fushu to organize and classify them.
When the sun went down, Hua Fushu was about to return to the General's Mansion. Doctor Li came out with a basket of freshly cooked glutinous rice dumplings. Hua Fushu did not want to refuse his kindness, so he accepted the glutinous rice dumplings and returned to the General's Mansion with Sanqiao.
Hua Fushu handed the basket of glutinous rice dumplings to Wujing and asked him to divide it.
When she went back to Penglai Residence with Sanqiao, she met Ruhuan in the courtyard. She was wearing a light green short jacket, a green long skirt, and a pomegranate flower in her hair. Her every feature was extremely beautiful. She was waving a round fan with a camellia pattern, and her every move was dignified. Several maids with pomegranate flowers in their hair spoke sweet words to her, making her smile like a flower.
Hua Fushu walked over and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Tell me what you are talking about."
Hearing the voice, several maids hurriedly turned around, bowed hastily, and retreated to Ruhuan's side. They had heard some of Hua Fushu's bad deeds and couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
The general and his wife dare not interfere, and the person who even dares to provoke the old general is naturally not a good person.
Ruhuan looked at the lush flowers and said with a smile, "This girl is naturally beautiful, as pretty as a flower, so naturally everyone praises her. Unlike some people who are so immoral and uncaring that even beggars won't even glance at them."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "On the list of beauties sealed off from the city, Miss Lu Jiayun is first, Miss Liu from the Fairy Flower Club is second, the Princess of the Qinghe Palace is third, and Princess Pingting, who married far away, is fourth. Sister Ruhuan is neither here nor there. Isn't it like the pot calling the kettle black?"
Ruhuan was slightly annoyed and said, "That's not as good as you, Second Sister-in-law, who can't even make it into the top 20."
Hua Fushu thought Ruhuan was just saying she was ordinary, but she wasn't angry. She replied, "So, sister Ruhuan, you need people to praise you to feel important. Okay, tomorrow I'll find some beggars and let them praise you in front of you. I don't think you'll be offended by their unkempt appearance and ragged clothes."
Ruhuan felt sick at the thought of a few dirty beggars standing in front of her. She got angry with Hua Fushu and turned around to go to Feiyuan.
Several maids were stunned for a moment until Hua Fushu glanced at them, and then they hurriedly dispersed.
After the crowd left, Sanqiao asked, "Miss, Miss Ruhuan keeps targeting you. Are you unhappy?"
Hua Fushu smiled. "Since she stepped through this door, Ruhuan has been sarcastic every time she sees me. I always make her angry, and I take it as fun to argue with her. This spoiled girl, if we get serious, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it, and it will make the old man unhappy, which will only cause trouble for me. Everyone in the mansion knows that Ruhuan is the old man's treasure."
The two entered Penglai Residence, only to see Lizhi holding the ladder and Si De sweeping the eaves with a feather duster. Lizhi said, "Brother Si De, be careful."
Si De replied to her as he scanned the area, "I know, I know."
Seeing Hua Fushu approaching, Lizhi let go of the ladder and saluted Hua Fushu. Side turned back and looked down, "Young lady, you're back."
Hua Fushu looked at him and said, "Si De, come down quickly after you finish sweeping. It's dangerous to be so high up."
"That's good."
Side went down with a feather duster in his hand. Hua Fushu held the ladder for him with one hand. Seeing this, Lizhi also hurried to hold the ladder.
Si De came down, smiled at Hua Fu Shu and greeted her. Hua Fu Shu looked at the feather duster in Si De's hand and thought.
Si De was slightly startled. He looked at the lush flowers and then at the feather duster in his hand.
The next moment, someone took the feather duster from Side's hand. "Qiao'er, ask Uncle Wu to get a ten-foot-long feather duster. You won't have to climb a ladder when sweeping the eaves. You might fall down if you do."
Sanqiao nodded in response.
Si De let out a light breath and smiled with relief. He thought the young lady was going to tease him. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Hua Fushu would tease him.
Seeing that Lizhi was wearing the same pomegranate flower in her hair as the other maids before her, Hua Fushu asked, "Lizhi, why do all the maids in our mansion wear pomegranate flowers in their hair?"
