Little Bell smiled happily and narrowed her eyes. "Okay, okay, Master, let's go and see Auntie."
He didn't even have time to eat the buns and gave them all to Jiang Xinian, leaving only two candied haws.
"Sister Tong, here, this is for you. It's delicious, sour and sweet!"
Wu Tongtong rarely eats these things, but she didn't refuse.
Entering the backyard, Xia Yan was basking in the sun. Although only two days had passed, she looked much better.
Xia Yan stood up quickly, "Little Bell is here. Doctor, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Lingling ran over quickly and helped her sit down.
"Auntie, please sit down quickly. Be careful not to get tired. Master, please let me take a look."
Jiang Xinian originally wanted to put on airs, but the little disciple betrayed him with just a few words, and he glared at her in reproach.
He is a great doctor, when has he ever been ordered around like this?
Xia Yan smiled and patted Xiao Lingling's hand. "Don't worry, you must be tired after coming all the way here. Take a break and have a cup of tea. I'm a little tired too."
Jiang Xinian nodded, "Alright, it's safer to do acupuncture inside. It's too chaotic outside."
Everyone moved into the room, and servants quickly brought in tea and snacks.
Little Lingling was not full to begin with, and was a little greedy. She couldn't take her eyes off the snacks.
Wu Tongtong directly picked up two pieces and put them into her hand. "Here, take it if you want to eat it. You call me mother and aunt, and that's your home. There's no need to be restrained."
Xia Yan smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Lingling, just tell your sister Tong what you want to eat."
Little Bell stuck out her tongue and rubbed her palms, looking like a greedy little cat. "Hey, then I won't be polite."
Jiang Xinian was speechless looking at her useless appearance, and turned his face away, "Madam, please place your wrist on this wristrest."
Xia Yan gently placed it on top. Jiang Xinian covered it with a handkerchief before reaching forward, his expression extremely serious.
Xiao Lingdang has always been very passionate about medicine, and seeing this, she was eager to try it out, and the snacks in her hand no longer tasted good.
Jiang Xinian understood what was going on and took his hand away. "You can try it too."
Little Lingling's face lit up with joy. She put the snack in her hand aside, clapped her hands and touched it.
Every time Xia Yan saw her taking her pulse, she found it magical and looked at her with great interest.
After a moment, Xiao Lingling smiled and said, "Master, Auntie is really getting better. This way, my little brother will be able to grow up safely."
Jiang Xinian looked at her with some surprise. "Wow, amazing! You can even tell whether it's a boy or a girl?"
Little Bell was very proud, "Of course, I'm awesome!"
Jiang Xinian poked her head and said, "Okay, stop playing tricks and just listen."
Xia Yan was also very happy to hear that this baby was a son.
It’s not that she favors boys over girls, but she feels that this way, she will have both a son and a daughter.
Jiang Xinian turned to look at Xia Yan, "Madam Wu, you've recovered quite well. From a preliminary perspective, with five more acupuncture sessions today, the poison will be almost gone.
As for medicine, continue taking the medicine with this money. After you are completely detoxified, I will change it to other nourishing prescriptions for you.
It's just a little bit. If this child is carefully cared for, he can be born safely, but his body will be a little weak.
After the fetus is born, it will take three years of careful care before it can be treated like a normal child. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Xia Yan's expression froze. She didn't expect it to have such a big impact on the child. She was a little worried and a little guilty, but still nodded.
"I understand! Just do your best. It wasn't easy for this child to come, but since he's here, I will definitely do my best."
Jiang Xinian nodded. "That's good. Then you can start the acupuncture after you prepare yourself. It will take a total of 25 minutes, and it may be a little painful in the middle."
"Okay, then please wait a moment. I'll go get ready and be right back."
Xia Yan came back quickly, and this time Jiang Xinian explained to Xiao Lingdang while performing acupuncture.
Xiao Lingling listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time, and Jiang Xinian answered every question.
This was the first time Xia Yan and Wu Tongtong had seen such a scene. They didn’t expect that Xiao Lingling had remembered all that obscure knowledge?
Xia Yan fell asleep under Jiang Xinian's acupuncture and did not wake up until the end.
Wu Tongtong had a hint of worry on her brows.
Jiang Xinian explained, "Mrs. Wu's body is still relatively weak, especially after releasing the poisonous blood, her body needs a period of adaptation.
It's good for her to sleep at this time. Don't disturb her. The longer she sleeps, the faster she will recover."
Wu Tongtong nodded, "Okay, I understand, I won't let anyone disturb mother's rest.
Oh, right, this box contains the 100 taels of reward silver. It’s a bit heavy, so why don’t you…”
Before Wu Tongtong could finish her words, the box on the table next to her was picked up by Xiao Lingling.
She was completely shocked.
That's one hundred taels of silver, very heavy.
She originally wanted to ask Jiang Xinian to help Xiao Lingdang hold it, but Xiao Lingdang just picked it up.
Little Lingling excitedly opened the box, put the silver ingot inside to her mouth and bit it with her small teeth, which caused her teeth to hurt.
"Hiss~~ It's so hard. Didn't they say this silver is soft?"
Xiao Lingling was filled with shock, and Jiang Xinian simply couldn't bear to watch.
Wu Tongtong laughed and said, "It's soft, but you're still young and your teeth are small, so you definitely can't compare to an adult's strength.
Otherwise, ask your master to bite it, he will definitely leave a mark."
After saying that, Xiao Lingdang really turned her gaze towards Jiang Xinian.
Jiang Xinian's expression sternly said, "Don't even think about it! What kind of attitude is this? Can the county magistrate really fool you?"
Little Bell hung her head listlessly, "I just wanted to test whether it was real or not, huh, stinky Master!"
Wu Tongtong smiled and said, "It's okay, you can keep it and try it yourself when you grow up!"
Little Lingling was even more sad. With such little money, she would never be able to wait until she grew up. She would have spent it all long ago!
However, Xiao Lingdang was thinking about buying a pot and did not stay long. She made an appointment with Wu Tongtong to meet the day after tomorrow and left with her master.
Little Bell didn't know how to buy a pot, so Jiang Xinian took people to the blacksmith shop.
There is only one ready-made iron pot. If you want to buy two, the other one needs to be custom-made and can be picked up in two days.
The rich woman Xiao Lingdang paid a deposit without hesitation and bought the ready-made pot. She was then taken to the county government office by Jiang Xinian to sign the contract before returning home.
When we came back, it was almost noon. The women had already returned to cook, and only the men were still planting rice in the fields.
Everyone still cooked outside in a big pot and ate with the workers.
The meal wasn't ready yet when Jiang Xinian came back carrying a pot and a little bell...
