Fengxian hurriedly agreed, and when she saw Xu Ranyun closed his eyes and didn't give any more instructions, she hurried out to make arrangements.
The morning was uneventful. After lunch, Xu Ranyun was about to lie down on the bed to rest for a while when she heard Aunt Jiang's anxious voice outside: "Is grandma here?" She was moved and quickly sat up and said, "Is it Wanfang? Come in." Aunt Jiang's name was Wanfang, and she was Xu Ranyun's dowry, so when there was no one around, she still called her name.
After a while, the door curtain was raised, and Aunt Jiang walked in quickly, her face full of panic. After bowing, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, Chuan'er just said he had a stomachache after lunch. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had diarrhea twice. Do you think we should send someone to call a doctor?"
Xu Ranyun frowned, a trace of concern revealed on his face, and said in a deep voice: "How could such a thing happen? Fengxian, go to the second gate immediately and ask the maid to find housekeeper Zhang and ask Doctor Liao to come over." Even in the Anping Marquis Mansion, not everyone is qualified to invite the imperial physician. It is Doctor Liao who usually treats the ordinary masters in the mansion. He is also considered a famous doctor in the capital.
Fengxian looked up and saw her grandmother winking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, is grandma going to start now? Isn't this... too sudden?
Thinking in his heart, he did not dare to delay and hurried out to make arrangements. Aunt Jiang was anxious to go back to take care of Duan Maochuan. After thanking Xu Ranyun, she said goodbye. After a while, Fengxian came back and whispered that everything was arranged. Xu Ranyun pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and give Brother Chuan a bowl of ginger sugar water to warm his stomach."
Feng Xian's hand trembled, and she looked up at Xu Ranyun, only to see him nod calmly. She understood and whispered, "Yes. I understand." Then she turned and left.
Aunt Jiang was already as panic-stricken as an ant on a hot pot. She looked at Duan Maochuan lying on the bed and wiped her tears while asking, "Did you really not eat anything bad? Then why did you have diarrhea? You haven't had diarrhea since you were two years old. Little ancestor, please think about what you ate."
Duan Maochuan looked at his mother's angry expression and became more and more afraid. He dared not say that he had eaten ice cream in Chunfeng Garden. He just insisted that he had not eaten anything bad. As the mother and son were talking, they heard the little girl outside calling Sister Fengxian. Then she lifted the curtain, and Aunt Jiang stood up quickly, forcing a smile and said, "Why did you bother Miss Fengxian to come here in person?"
Fengxian said, "Grandma knows that Chuan has a cold stomach, so she asked me to bring him a bowl of ginger sugar water to warm his stomach."
Aunt Jiang asked in confusion, "Caught a cold? Where did you get that from? I was just asking Chuan Ge'er if he had eaten something bad, and he just said no."
Fengxian pretended to be panicked for a moment. Then she forced a smile and said, "I was just guessing. I thought that in this winter, the diarrhea could only be caused by catching a cold. So our grandmother asked me to bring ginger and sugar water, and added a piece of ginseng. My brother has diarrhea, so his body must be weak. Although I dare not give him a lot of supplements, he should also replenish his energy appropriately."
Aunt Jiang was very grateful and quickly took the bowl of ginger sugar water and gave it to Duan Maochuan to drink.
Fengxian showed a trace of reluctance on her face. After drinking this bowl of ginger sugar water, Duan Maochuan's life would be in danger. However, who dared to disobey grandma's order? The eldest grandma was like a mountain. If she was not eliminated, grandma and herself would never be able to make a breakthrough. After thinking about it, this was the only way.
"Aunt, Doctor Liao is here."
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Rong'er, the maid beside Aunt Jiang, walk in. Fengxian quickly put away the sympathetic look on her face and forced a smile, "Why is it so soon today? It seems that my brother should be fine. Well, since the doctor is here, please come in and take a look. I will also listen and report back to grandma."
Rong'er looked at her with some confusion, but soon lowered her head and said softly, "Madam Lin has a cold, so we asked Doctor Liao to see her. When he was leaving, he happened to meet Butler Zhang, so he brought her here." After that, she and Madam Jiang Fengxian went behind the screen. After a while, they heard footsteps in the room, and then there was no sound. She thought the doctor was taking her pulse. Although Madam Jiang was nervous, she did not lose her composure. After all, it was not a serious illness. Although Duan Maochuan had not had diarrhea in the past two years, this kind of disease can be cured by taking medicine, and she had not heard of any epidemic in the capital, so she was able to keep calm.
"Doctor, how is it?" At this time, the wet nurse Yang was accompanying Duan Maochuan's bed. After seeing the doctor taking his pulse, she asked anxiously, but Doctor Liao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My brother has eaten a lot of cold things, and maybe there is something else mixed in. In short... the symptoms are very dangerous. I will prescribe a prescription first, and we will see after taking it. If conditions permit, please ask your family to find another doctor quickly. It will be too late if it is too late."
"What?"
Aunt Jiang staggered and nearly fell. She no longer cared about avoiding suspicion and hurriedly walked through the screen to the doctor, asking in a trembling voice, "What...what did you say? Why do you say the symptoms are very serious? What are you afraid of not being able to make it in time?"
Doctor Liao quickly stood up, greeted Aunt Jiang, and then said solemnly: "My brother's condition is very serious. Did grandma give him anything cold?"
Aunt Jiang said anxiously, "I... I didn't..." After she finished speaking, she heard Duan Maochuan on the bed groaning, "Mom, I... my stomach hurts... I need to poop..." Before she could finish her words, she heard a "plop" sound. It seemed that he had not had time to get up and had fallen on the bed.
"What did you eat, kid? Tell me now."
Aunt Jiang was really anxious now. Suddenly, she heard the maids outside saying, "Mrs. Yun is here." Then the door curtain was lifted, and Xu Ranyun walked in and said in a deep voice, "Why did Fengxian take so long... Doctor Liao, you are here? How is Brother Chuan? I just ordered someone to boil ginger sugar water with a piece of ginseng for him to drink. Do you think he needs to take any medicine? Write a prescription quickly."
Doctor Liao bowed and said solemnly, "Grandma handled it properly, but it's a pity that my brother has been suffering from a severe cold. I can only do my best. This... I mean, your family is a distinguished family. Why don't you quickly take the invitation to the Imperial Hospital to invite a doctor who specializes in internal medicine emergencies to come over? Maybe it won't get to the worst possible point."
"Is it so serious?" Xu Ranyun's face changed. After a moment's hesitation, he said to Cuiping beside him, "Go to Chunfeng Garden and check. If the master is there, ask him to invite the imperial physician immediately and tell him clearly that Doctor Liao has seen him and said that this disease cannot be delayed. If the master is not in Chunfeng Garden, immediately order someone to look for him in the government office. If they still can't find him... Oh, go to the account office first and ask them to write a note. If they really can't find the master, we will have to be unbridled and use the note from Anping Marquis's Mansion to invite the imperial physician."
Cuiping quickly agreed to go, and Xu Ranyun comforted Aunt Jiang, saying, "Don't worry. Our children are usually strong. How could they not be able to handle such a small obstacle? If you panic now, Chuan Ge'er will be even more scared, which will be bad for his condition."
"Grandma... I... I'm so scared. I'm really... my mind is all confused. Grandma, please don't leave. Please help me take care of me. I... I can't breathe right now."
