Chapter 240 Madam Zhu pretends to be sick
Song Yuntang felt his heart pounding so hard that he didn't dare look in his direction. He turned around, took the notebook from the bookshelf, and moved away from between him and the bookshelf.
She put the notebook under her pillow and went out.
After taking a deep breath to relieve the tension, I went to the kitchen to wash and soak the ten kilograms of glutinous rice I bought in the morning.
Soak it for two or three hours, and then after making dinner in the evening, you can steam the glutinous rice and make a small jar of sweet wine.
Sweet wine can be added, the method is simple and saves time and effort.
When you are busy, boil sweet wine with water and then pour an egg into it. It is delicious and nutritious.
Just as I came out of the main hall after soaking the rice, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Xu Qingye was already reading in the house. In order not to disturb him, Song Yuntang quickly went to open the gate.
"Miss Song, it's really you."
Seeing the person coming, Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
"Why is Master Qin here?"
Master Qin said hurriedly, "It's like this. Mr. Zhu's mother suddenly fell ill two days ago. She called many doctors but her condition did not improve. I just heard Luo Gang say that the young lady had come to the county town, so he hurriedly asked me to come and see if you were really here, and by the way, asked the young lady to go and see the old lady. I wonder if the young lady has time now?"
"There's time." Song Yuntang turned around and walked into the house. "Master Qin, please wait a moment. I'll be right back with the medicine box."
Xu Qingye looked up and nodded to Master Qin.
Then he saw Song Yuntang trotting into the room.
"When you go out, be careful."
"I know. Just focus on your studies. I will be back soon after I finish treating Mr. Zhu's mother."
After saying that, he carried the medicine box and went out with Master Qin and got on the carriage.
After all, Anyang County is a county seat, and its location is much larger than Cile Town. Liuqiao Street is located in a remote area, while Zhu Mansion is not far from the county government office and is located in the central area of Anyang County.
It would take three quarters of an hour to walk there, but the carriage was much faster and it only took less than two quarters of an hour to get there.
After getting off the carriage, Master Qin made a gesture of invitation towards the Zhu Mansion.
"Miss Song, please."
Song Yuntang nodded slightly and entered the Zhu Mansion with Master Qin.
Zhu Deming walked out quickly from the front hall and looked at Song Yuntang with a smile, "Miss Song is here."
Song Yuntang said with a teasing tone.
"Master Qin has come in person to invite you, so I dare not delay even a moment."
"Miss Song, please stop being a commoner in front of your family." Zhu Deming led her to the backyard. "My mother has only been in the county for half a month. I don't know if it's because she's not used to the local climate, but she suddenly got sick. She's consulted several doctors but there's been no improvement. I hope Miss Song can take a good look at my mother."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Now that I'm here, I'll do my best."
In Hengwu Garden, maids and old women gathered together. When they saw Zhu Deming leading a girl in, they all made way for him with respectful expressions.
Mrs. Zhu Yao walked out of the house.
When he saw the girl next to Zhu Deming, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Miss Song, right?"
Song Yuntang bowed to Yao based on the original owner's memory and said, "Meet Madam Zhu."
Yao hurried forward and helped her up, with a happy look on her face.
"I've heard the master mention the girl many times before. He said that the girl is a great doctor and has helped him solve several cases. I've always wanted to meet the girl, but because the girl is not in the county, I've never had the chance. When I saw her today, it seemed like I've known her for a long time."
Seeing that his wife was chattering non-stop and seemed to have no intention of letting Song Yuntang go to see his mother, Zhu Deming hurriedly pulled her aside to make way for Song Yuntang.
"Madam, let's let Miss Song take a look at her first. If there are any problems, we can solve them in time, right?"
Yao glanced into the room and snorted.
"I think that not only did my mother's illness come at the right time, but it also caused her a lot of pain. It shouldn't matter if she gets better sooner or later."
Perhaps the people in the room heard Yao's voice and cried out, "Ouch, ouch."
Fortunately, Lord Zhu was a filial son. When he heard his mother's painful cry, he quickly asked Song Yuntang to go in and treat her.
When Song Yuntang walked in carrying the medicine box, Zhu's mother saw that the person coming was a teenage girl and started howling again.
"Zhu Deming, you asked this yellow-haired girl to treat me?"
Zhu Deming followed Song Yuntang into the house.
"Mom, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Please don't underestimate this Miss Song. The only child of the Li family was unconscious in bed for many days. It was she who saved him. You are my real mother, how dare your son joke with your health?"
Zhu's mother was skeptical.
"real?"
Zhu Deming nodded quickly, "Of course it's true."
Song Yuntang saw that Zhu's mother had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy. She didn't look like a sick person at all.
She put the medicine box on the bedside cabinet.
"I wonder what's wrong with the old lady?"
Mother Zhu, who was sitting on the bed, snorted, "If I knew where I was feeling unwell, what would I need you doctors for?"
She didn't believe that a teenage girl could cure diseases.
Zhu Deming was apologetic.
"Don't mind, Miss Song. My mother may have been ill for a few days and her mood is not very stable. I guess she may have just arrived in Anyang County and is not very adaptable."
"It's okay." Song Yuntang stretched out his hand, "Let me take the old lady's pulse first."
After taking the pulse and looking at the tongue coating, Song Yuntang had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Excessively wide pulse and red tongue are caused by hyperactivity of Yang. It is not a big problem. Take some Chaihu Guizhi Decoction, calm down, and you will be fine in a few days."
There's actually nothing wrong with Old Madam Zhu, she just has a bad temper.
Maybe she wanted to cause trouble, so she pretended to be sick to attract her son's attention.
Zhu Deming was stunned. "Is there anything else? The previous doctor also prescribed this prescription, but my mother still didn't get better after taking the medicine. Miss Song, do you want to take a closer look?"
Zhu's mother also avoided his gaze.
"I said that the little girl's film can't diagnose anything."
"Then it seems that the medicine is no longer effective." Song Yuntang calmly took out a silver needle from the medicine box, "If Madam Zhu can get better soon, I can give you acupuncture to relieve your condition."
Lord Zhu was shocked.
"Didn't you say it was okay? Why did you use the silver needle?"
Looking at Madam Zhu's nervous and dodging appearance, Song Yuntang came up with a plan and pulled out the thickest and longest needle from the silver needle bag.
"Master Zhu, you may not know that acupuncture is the best treatment for Madam Zhu's condition." She looked at Madam Zhu lying on the bed, "Don't be nervous, I'll be gentle."
Yao on the side was trying not to laugh.
"Mom, if you want to get better soon, you have to listen to the doctor."
The old lady has been making trouble since she came to Anyang County, and she has been tormented a lot during this period.
If she was really sick, it would not be a big deal for her to take care of herself. After all, when she married Zhu Deming, her mother-in-law was quite caring towards her. But she pretended to be sick and was not allowed to go out. During this period, she broke her appointments with the ladies of various families for mahjong three or four times.
Unfortunately, Zhu Deming is a foolishly filial son, which really worries her to death.
Now that she saw Song Yuntang was willing to stand up and expose his mother-in-law, she was so happy.
