Chapter 378 Jiang Taihou Mansion
Xingxing told her in detail about the flaws in the old lady's pulse.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis became more and more annoyed as she listened. She gritted her teeth and said, "I was deceived by that quack doctor! He also told me that this is the secret recipe of the palace medicine, which was used by concubines to pretend to be sick to win favor... With my physical condition, the dosage of this pill is just right. One pill can last for a stick of incense without revealing the secret!"
Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "I think... the abnormality of your pulse is actually quite subtle. An ordinary doctor should be able to cover it up."
The old lady of Weibeihou suddenly said, "Is that so?"
The old lady of Weibei Hou was a person of action. She immediately found a clinic along the street, got off the carriage, and went into the clinic to see a doctor.
The doctor in the clinic looked serious when he took the pulse and described the old lady's physical condition as very severe, and it seemed that she didn't have much time left.
The old lady of Weibeihou nodded with a haggard look on her face, and after leaving this clinic, she turned to go to another clinic nearby.
There were three clinics in a row, and one of them was a doctor who was quite famous in the capital.
The conclusion is that the old lady of Weibeihou is as frail as catkins. She needs to be carefully taken care of. Maybe she can live a few more days...
After leaving the clinic, the old lady of Weibei Marquis could not help herself. Although her face was pale, she was laughing so hard that she bent forward and backward, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the effect of the medicine.
When the old lady of Weibei Marquis helped the maid Nanyan get on the carriage, she said to Xingxing, "I thought that quack doctor had deceived me!... It turns out that it's not that the medicine is ineffective, but Xingxing, you are very young, but your medical skills are amazing!"
Xing Xing felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "A little bit, a little bit."
After saying this, Xing Xing said seriously, "Old Madam, this kind of pill that can change your pulse and complexion, although this dosage will not harm your body, but a little bit will add up to a lot, and there will always be some impact, so you'd better use as little as possible."
The old lady of Weibei Hou liked Xingxing more and more after several contacts with her. She felt warm in her heart when she heard Xingxing's caring words. She looked at Xingxing lovingly and said, "I am using this today just to relieve your pain. Don't worry, I will use this pill at the key place and will not use it randomly."
Xing Xing nodded, and without asking where the old lady of Weibei Marquis was going to use it, she said to her, "You can use the fresh ginseng to make a bowl of chicken soup to replenish your blood when you go home in the evening."
The old lady of Weibei Hou looked embarrassed: "I really don't like to drink that."
Nan Yan said, "You have to drink even if you don't want to. Miss Xingxing is a great doctor, and whatever she tells you must be good for your health. I'll prepare it for you when I get home."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis curled her lips, not very happy, but she did not object in the end.
The location of Jiangtai Marquis's mansion was a bit remote, and the carriage took more than half an hour to arrive. At this time, the effect of the pills that Weibei Marquis's wife had taken had faded, and she was as energetic and restrained as before.
Earlier, the old lady of Marquis Weibei had sent someone to deliver a visiting card, and now the steward was already waiting in front of Marquis Jiangtai's mansion.
When the steward saw that it was the carriage of the Weibei Marquis' Mansion, he hurriedly opened the main gate of the mansion, and the carriage drove all the way from the main gate corridor to the second gate of the mansion.
At the second gate of the Marquis's Mansion, a sedan chair and a maid were already waiting to lead the way.
When the nanny saw the old lady of Weibei Marquis holding Nanyan's hand and getting off the carriage, she immediately went to greet her, smiling very humbly: "...The old lady is here! When our marquis' wife heard that you were coming, she had the house swept clean from top to bottom early in the morning, just waiting for you to come."
The old lady of Weibei Hou is a kind and amiable old lady in front of Xingxing, but she is still quite domineering in front of others.
She nodded lightly, took Nan Yan's hand, and changed into the sedan chair.
Xingxing was also helped by a maid into another soft sedan chair.
The nanny did not dare to be negligent and led the way in front.
The Jiangtaihou Mansion was once prosperous by ancestors, but it has gradually declined over the years. At first glance, the mansion looks okay, but if you look closely, you can still see some small places that have been in disrepair for a long time.
The old lady of Weibeihou sat on the sedan chair with a stern look on her face, only occasionally whispering a word or two to Xingxing beside her.
The nanny who led the way smiled flatteringly: "...Is this your daughter? She is so pretty."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis reluctantly gave her a look of appreciation: "It would be nice if it was from my house."
After hearing this, the nanny who was leading the way didn't dare to ask Xingxing about her background. She just smiled and led the way.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, before the wife of Marquis Weibei got off the sedan chair, the wife of Marquis Jiangtai came out from the house with a smile on her face and was very polite and considerate.
Cen Yuehua followed behind the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai and dressed very carefully.
However, behind the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai, apart from Cen Yuehua, there were only two maids following her, and there was no sign of Cen Yueyi.
Xingxing couldn't help but have a few thoughts flash through her mind and frowned.
When Madam Jiang Taihou and Cen Yuehua saw Xing Xing following the old lady of Weibei Marquis, they were also stunned. Although they were a little confused, it was obviously more important to welcome the old lady of Weibei Marquis at this moment. Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and saluted the old lady of Weibei Marquis: "... Madam, your sudden arrival at our house is truly a great honor to our humble home."
The old lady of Weibei Hou helped Nan Yan get off the sedan chair.
If it was at Weibei Marquis's mansion, the old lady of Weibei Marquis would definitely say, "Can't you just go inside and say it? Why do you have to say it outside in the wind?"
But the old lady of Weibei Marquis came to the house today to matchmake for Yu Yonghuai, so she had to give the girl some face. The old lady of Weibei Marquis naturally restrained her temper and just nodded lightly: "Go in first."
The wife of Marquis Jiangtai hurriedly welcomed the old wife of Marquis Weibei into the house.
Given the status of the Weibei Marquis's Mansion and the status of the Weibei Marquis's old lady, it is natural that the Weibei Marquis's old lady should sit at the top of the table.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis did not show any courtesy to the lady of Jiangtai Marquis and sat in the chair.
Cen Yuehua was very discerning and came up to pay her respects to the old lady of Weibei Marquis.
Cen Yuehua knew that many older people liked the liveliness and coquettishness of young girls. She smiled like a flower, showing her youthful liveliness. She knelt down and saluted the old lady of Weibei Marquis, and said with a smile: "Old lady, the last time I saw you was at the birthday banquet of Princess Fu'an. I haven't seen you for several years. You look younger and younger."
The old lady of Weibeihou smiled faintly and nodded: "Good boy, get up."
She glanced at Nan Yan again.
Nan Yan presented a jade bracelet with both hands, which was obviously the gift from the old lady of Weibei Hou to Cen Yuehua.
Cen Yuet-wah's cheeks turned red with joy.
When she goes to a gathering with her sisters next time, she will definitely wear the bracelet to let them all know that it was a gift from the old lady of Weibei Hou because she likes her!
