Seeing how much she wanted to have a child of her own, Gu Yunru had no choice but to let her sit down at the table and feel her pulse. Gu Yunru rolled his eyes and found that her body was indeed a little weak. Drinking these medicinal soups could indeed help, but he didn't know if there was any problem with the function of her uterus at such an old age.
"Master, can I still get pregnant?" The matchmaker was eager to know about her current physical condition. Xue'er had never heard that an older woman could get pregnant.
"Xi Niang, don't worry, I believe Sister Gu will definitely find a way."
"Oh, okay." The bridesmaid nodded rapidly, her eyes full of joy. Gu Yunru looked at her hungry face and couldn't help but frowning.
"You are in good shape, but starting today, you will have to run around Ping An Street twice every morning before coming back. You must ensure that your body has enough strength."
"Ah..." The bridesmaid didn't expect that getting pregnant would be so difficult. Gu Yunru said slowly, "I asked you to run to strengthen your body. What if you are really pregnant but can't give birth to a child? If your life is in danger... then I can't help you."
As long as a woman has not yet reached menopause, she can get pregnant. No matter how old she is, she can get pregnant. It’s just that it will be more difficult for her to give birth than for a normal young woman.
Gu Yunru could naturally understand why Xiniang was so eager to have a child with Mazi, but she was over 40 years old after all. If there were modern medical technology, the chances of success would be relatively high. It was a pity that it was not possible in such an underdeveloped place in ancient times.
"Then the boss means that I can still get pregnant!" The matchmaker looked at Gu Yunru with a smile. She had been very anxious these past few days and even had trouble eating.
"Of course you can get pregnant, but your body is not as strong as that of ordinary women. You have to think carefully because there will be risks." Gu Yunru wanted to persuade Xiniang to think twice before doing so, but seeing her motherly look every time she held Yaya in her arms, she knew that Xiniang's greatest wish was to have a child of her own.
"Okay, I'll do whatever the boss says!"
"Well, you don't have to stop with the medicinal food. Let me write a few more recipes for you and let Qiao Er cook them for you personally."
"Thank you, Master. I will always remember your kindness!"
"Don't talk about great favors, we are all family." Gu Yunru looked at Xin Niang. It was the first time he saw Xin Niang so happy. He secretly swore in his heart that he must let her get pregnant safely and give birth to the child safely.
The next day, a middle-aged man came to Huajianlou for dinner. He looked very domineering and majestic, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
"Waiter, bring me two pounds of beef, a pot of good wine, and your signature hot pot!" The middle-aged man's tone was very rough, and the waiter hurriedly brought all the dishes. The middle-aged man kept drinking, as if something was lingering in his mind.
A few hours passed and most of the guests had left. "Excuse me, sir, it's almost time for us to close Huajianlou."
"What? Are you trying to chase me away?!" The man's tone was very arrogant, as if this was his territory. There was a long scar behind his ear, and he looked like a desperado.
"But sir, you have already drunk so much Nv'erhong, you can't drink any more!"
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I won't pay you?" The man rolled his eyes and continued drinking. Gu Yunru rushed over after hearing the news. Most of the guests in Huajianlou had left, but this man refused to leave, as if he had nowhere else to go.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?" The waiter was also confused. Xue'er also walked forward curiously and just stood aside and watched silently. She wanted to see when this middle-aged man would leave.
This middle-aged man was probably in his forties. He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the table. Unexpectedly, after he stood up tremblingly, he leaned over and vomited. A sour smell came to his nose. Gu Yunru quickly pinched his nose. Several waiters hesitated and came forward, sweating anxiously, at a loss! "Boss, is this poisoned?..."
"Puh, puh, puh, what poisoning? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cut some ginger slices!" Gu Yunru couldn't help rolling her eyes. Seeing her waiter actually said the word poisoning, it was fortunate that there were no other customers in Huajianlou, otherwise everyone would be scared and pale. How could she continue the business of Huajianlou? "Yes."
Xue'er stood aside feeling a little uneasy. The middle-aged man's face was dark purple from vomiting, and he seemed to be almost losing his strength.
"Sister Gu, is everything really okay?" Xue'er was also worried for her, but Gu Yunru looked relaxed, as this middle-aged man was not the only drunkard she saw in Huajianlou.
Gu Yunru walked up to him and helped him sit down with the waiter. They lifted one of his legs and pressed the Zusanli point outside his knee. With a gentle massage, his dry retching stopped.
The middle-aged man also felt depressed. He usually had a good alcohol tolerance, but for some reason he started vomiting while drinking.

"People who drink alcohol must remember to press this acupoint. Sanli acupoint belongs to the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, and it is a major acupoint for regulating the spleen and stomach. If some alcoholics drink alcohol and hurt their stomachs and vomit continuously, pressing this acupoint will naturally have some effect."
The waiter thought the smell here was too strong, so he pinched his nose and slowly massaged him. Finally, seeing that his condition was getting better, he put ginger on his forehead to wake him up.
"I didn't expect Sister Gu to know so much..." Xue'er was stunned as she watched from the side. Finally, she saw the middle-aged man sober up and asked the waiter to boil another pot of hangover water.
"Hey, where are you from?" Gu Yunru looked at his attire and he didn't seem to be from the Central Plains.
"Hey... why am I still here?" The middle-aged man was so drunk that he didn't even realize he had been staying in Huajianlou for the entire afternoon.
“………”Gu Yunru sat aside with her legs crossed, looking at the middle-aged man, and finally regained consciousness.
