If it were her, she would also be unhappy.
It’s not Guo Youzhi’s fault for making things difficult for Ye Zelin.
Side continued, "Guo Youzhi's family isn't wealthy, and they rent a house. His wife is bedridden all year round, and their children aren't even adults yet, but they're counting on promotions and higher salaries. Now that the position of Assistant Minister has fallen into the hands of the young master, Guo Youzhi is targeting him..."
Hua Fushu raised his hand to interrupt Side, "You said Madam Guo Youzhi is ill? How seriously ill is she?"
Si De said, "I only know that Mrs. Guo Youzhi has to take medicine all year round, but I don't know how serious her illness is."
Hua Fushu said, "Do you know where Guo Youzhi lives? Come with me tomorrow."
Si De exclaimed softly, "Young lady, do you want to treat Guo Youzhi's wife? Guo You is targeting you everywhere."
Hua Fushu tilted her head to look over. Was Side really making such a fuss? She still wanted to see if she could help his young master.
If Guo Youzhi's wife's illness could be cured, wouldn't Guo Youzhi cause less trouble for Ye Zelin?
"Will you lead the way?" Hua Fushu asked.
Si De believed that he was Ye Zelin's man, and he would not disobey the young lady's order, "I will take you there."
The next day, Side drove Hua Fushu to Guo Youzhi's home.
Guo Youzhi's home was in Taiyun Lane, Kanglefang. Side stopped the carriage not far away and tied the rope.
The two men walked to Guo Youzhi's door. The gate of Guo's family looked very shabby, with most of the brown paint peeling off and a corner of the door bolt missing. It really didn't look like the home of a fifth-rank official.
A waterfall of green plants climbed out from the top of the wall and covered the entire wall. Some of the green vines spread to the top of the gate and merged with the green tiles.
Si De knocked on the door. "Is anyone there? Is Madam Guo here? Madam Guo, are you here?"
Soon, the door opened.
A middle-aged woman came out. She was wearing a camel-colored, double-breasted, half-sleeved jacket. She asked, "Who are you two looking for?"
Side said, "Sister, this is Doctor Guo Youzhi's residence."
The woman saw that Hua Fushu and Side were dressed neatly, especially Hua Fushu, who was dressed brightly and beautifully. She had never seen Hua Fushu or Side before, so she hesitated and said, "Yes, I wonder where you two are from."
"My name is Side, and I work for the Protector General's Mansion." Side pointed at Hua Fushu and said, "This is my son's wife. My son is Minister Ye, who is Doctor Guo's superior."
"It turns out to be the wife of the Ye family." The woman bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam."
Hua Fushu bowed in return.
The woman asked, "I wonder what's going on at home?"
"Are you Doctor Guo's wife?" Hua Fushu asked the woman.
The woman said, "I am not. I am a servant of the Guo family. My surname is Cui. My wife is in the house."
Hua Fushu said, "Madam Cui, this is what happened. My husband heard from Doctor Guo that your wife is not feeling well, so he asked me to visit you."
Only then did Madam Cui invite Hua Fushu and Side in.
Hua Fushu looked at Guo Youzhi's house. Although the house was not big, it was very clean. There were two or three kinds of vegetables planted in the yard. The leaves were thick and green, adding a touch of vitality to the yard.
Madam Cui led Hua Fushu and the other two to the main hall. Just as she was about to serve them two bowls of tea, Hua Fushu waved his hand and said,
"Mrs. Cui, there's no need to bother. We'll just visit your wife and then go back."
Madam Cui stopped serving tea and said, "Madam Ye, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to my wife."
Hua Fushu nodded.
After a while, Madam Cui returned to the main hall and said that her wife wanted to see Hua Fushu. Madam Cui brought Hua Fushu into the house. Madam Guo took medicine all year round, and as soon as she stepped into the house, a strong smell of medicine hit her face.
Hua Fushu looked at the wife of the Guo family. She was sitting on the couch with several pillows leaning against her back. Her face was very pale and haggard. She was obviously only in her thirties, but because she had been bedridden for many years, she looked like a person in her fifties.
"Madam Ye, I heard from Xiaoyu that you came here specially to see me."
Madam Cui brought a wooden stool and placed it in front of the couch. Hua Fushu thanked her and sat down on the stool.
She said, "Is Miss Guo feeling better? My husband heard from Doctor Guo that Miss Guo was not in good health and had been taking medicine all year round. He mentioned Miss Guo to me several times. He had just taken up his post at the Ministry of Revenue and was not familiar with many of its affairs. Fortunately, Doctor Guo helped him handle the affairs of the Ministry. He told me to come and see Miss Guo when I was free, so I came to disturb Miss Guo today."
Madam Guo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. She said, "Please forgive me, Miss Ye. I'm not feeling well. I'm often like this. Sometimes I cough for several days."
Hua Fushu exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam Guo and briefly inquired about her condition. Then she got down to business and explained the reason for her visit. "Sister Guo, I have studied medicine for over ten years under the tutelage of a famous physician. I have also received instruction from Imperial Physician Liu of the Imperial Hospital and Doctor Li of the Xinglin Clinic. While my skills aren't top-notch, they're still decent. My husband also asked me to see you when I come to see you. I wonder if you would allow me to see you."
The lady of the Guo family was slightly surprised. Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital and Doctor Li from the Xinglin Clinic were both famous doctors in Tokyo. It turned out that the lady of the Ye family had received guidance from Doctor Liu and Doctor Li.
She said she wanted to treat herself, so I guess her medical skills are pretty good?
She has seen many doctors and taken many medicines over the years, but her health has not improved, so she doesn't mind seeing him again this time.
"Thank you, Madam Ye."
Mrs. Guo stretched out her hand, and Hua Fushu felt her inch, guan, and chi points to take her pulse.
Her expression was serious and solemn. She held her left hand and then switched to her right hand.
After taking Mrs. Guo's pulse, Hua Fushu did not talk about her pulse condition, but asked what medicine Mrs. Guo usually took and what prescriptions she used, and asked her roughly what she wanted to know.
Hua Fushu said, "Sister Guo, your illness is a bit complicated, but I can cure it."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cui spoke first, her voice somewhat anxious, "Madam Ye, can you cure my wife's illness?"
Hua Fushu nodded and said, "It can be cured."
Mrs. Guo has been bedridden for many years and has seen many doctors, but they all said that her illness cannot be cured and she can only take medicine to survive and live as long as she can.
No doctor ever said her disease could be cured.
The wife of the Ye family is the first one!
Mrs. Guo was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. She asked Hua Fushu:
"Can it really be cured?"
Hua Fushu looked at the lady from the Guo family and said seriously, "Yes!"
Mrs. Guo's dull and lifeless eyes suddenly flashed with a light like the rising sun, and she seemed to see hope.
Hua Fushu wanted to prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Cui brought her writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Hua Fushu writes in regular script. Her handwriting is clear and beautiful. Because she imitates Ye Zelin's regular script, her handwriting has some traces of Ye Zelin's style, and also has a bit of a woman's grace.
Soon, the prescription was ready.
