Chapter 138 Business Comes to the Door
"Mrs. Luo, I understand your feelings. In fact, the one who can help you is Doctor Zhou Ankang." Song Shuqing pushed everything onto Zhou Ankang as the lady said.
He Yingqiu paused after hearing this.
She had already asked Zhou Ankang to see her. She said that she was weak and worried too much. In addition, she had a chronic illness when she gave birth to her third child. She was also old, so it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
But since Mrs. Feng said so, there must be a deeper meaning for her. She couldn't just say that she had asked someone to see her.
"Mrs. Feng, can you please ask Doctor Zhou to come and see me now?" He Yingqiu looked at Song Shuqing eagerly.
"Sure. Cuixiang, go to the front yard to inform Butler Chen and ask him to send someone to invite Doctor Zhou to the house." Song Shuqing was very straightforward.
"Yes, madam." Cuixiang responded and left.
"Thank you, Madam Feng. Alas, it's so hard to be a woman. There are very few men who can marry only one wife like the Marquis.
Every family has three or five concubines in the backyard, and each concubine is more beautiful than the other.
We, the legal wives, not only have to give birth to children, but also manage the lives of the whole family, and we have to be generous. Life is really tiring.
Although the concubines also call me mother, they are not their own children, and they don't really mean it."
In order to get closer to Song Shuqing, He Yingqiu spoke her mind.
This kind of words are usually only said to people who are particularly close to you, otherwise it will cause others to laugh at you.
"Actually, every family has its own problems. I think you've heard about what happened to my daughter. It's also a troublesome thing."
"That's true." He Yingqiu looked at Feng Tianxing who was sitting next to her. "Miss Feng is really lovely. Come, come to Aunt He."
Feng Tianxing walked over with a smile.
"I was just talking to your mother and almost forgot that Aunt He brought you a small gift. See if you like it." As she said that, she took a box from her daughter Luo Tingting and opened it.
It was an exquisitely crafted silver necklace. There were three small bells on each side and a longevity lock in the middle.
It was very beautiful.
"I like it very much. Thank you, Aunt He." Feng Tianxing said with a smile and asked He Yingqiu to put it on her now.
Feng Tianxing's performance made people feel very comfortable.
Giving gifts and getting people to like them makes the gift giver very happy.
The two women continued to chat about family matters while waiting for Doctor Zhou to come.
Feng Tianxing listened carefully to their conversations about the inner house.
Of course, it was mainly He Yingqiu's complaints.
Song Shuqing had not encountered any mischief from the concubine, and she could only be a listener and occasionally agree with the mother-in-law.
Feng Tianxing, who was sitting obediently beside her, looked at He Yingqiu.
[Aunt He is similar to my mother, but she looks much older. If she were younger, her husband would definitely not run to the concubine's room.]
Thinking of this problem, Feng Tianxing said something to Song Shuqing and ran out.
Song Shuqing, who heard the thoughts of her daughter, looked at her daughter running away and shook her head helplessly. The child's ideas came out one after another, making her almost overwhelmed.
Waiting at the second gate, Feng Tianxing wanted to talk to Zhou Ankang first.
Zhou Ankang came after about half an hour.
Zhou Ankang saw Feng Tianxing waiting at the second gate and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Uncle Zhou, I have something to talk to you about. Uncle Chen, go and do your work. I'll take Uncle Zhou in later." Feng Tianxing intercepted Chen Shiming.
Feng Tianxing pulled Zhou Ankang to the corner of the wall a few feet away from the courtyard gate.
"Uncle Zhou, when you treat Mrs. Luo later, in addition to saying that you have come up with a new prescription to treat her disease, you should also promote your newly developed medicine to her, which can make people young and beautiful." Feng Tianxing said in a low voice.
Zhou Ankang felt bitter after hearing this. When did he develop such a good prescription?
But he had to cooperate with the acting. After interacting with the Feng family for such a long time, if he still didn't know who the master of the Feng Mansion was, he would be a fool.
Miss Feng family, she is so capable at such a young age, and no one knows how she grew up.
"Don't worry, Daddy will have someone send the medicine to you in the evening." Feng Tianxing saw that Zhou Ankang looked a little dazed and promised.
Then she flipped her little hand behind her back, and a small porcelain bottle appeared in her hand.
"Uncle Zhou, you will give this to Aunt He later. This is the liquid medicine for her infertility. Just say that you developed it with great difficulty, and you must accept five thousand taels of silver from her." Although Feng Tianxing doesn't like silver, the transactions here are made with silver, and she has to learn to love silver.
"Okay, I understand, let's go." Zhou Ankang has been acting for so long that he has become familiar with it.
Arriving at the main hall of the main courtyard, He Yingqiu and Song Shuqing chatted more and more familiarly, and neither of them could bear to be disturbed.
Zhou Ankang observed her complexion, felt her pulse, and asked about her daily life in an orderly manner.
"Mrs. Luo, I have already told you about your situation before.
After I went back, I studied it carefully, flipped through several ancient books, and made a kind of liquid medicine.
A lot of precious medicinal materials were added to it, which will be of great help to your illness.
You might as well buy it back and try it."
Zhou Ankang said very sincerely, and then took out the porcelain bottle that Feng Tianxing had just given him.
Then he opened the cork directly, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
He Yingqiu took a deep breath and felt a lot more energetic.
"Mom, why does this medicine smell so good?" Luo Tingting, the third Miss Luo who had never spoken, spoke excitedly.
He Yingqiu knew it was definitely good stuff just by smelling it.
"I wonder how confident are you, Doctor Zhou, that this medicine can cure my illness?" He Yingqiu wanted to get accurate information.
"Ninety percent." Zhou Ankang certainly didn't dare to be too sure, as this was a big taboo for doctors. Even if it was 100 percent, he would say it was ninety percent.
"Really?" When He Yingqiu heard ninety percent, her eyes lit up with excitement. This was a sure thing.
"Yes. Madam Luo, I know you are determined to have a child, but to be honest, having a child is not just your business.
I am also a man, and I know in a man's heart, if there is a young and beautiful girl by his side, he will generally not look at an old and ugly man, even if she is his original wife. At most, he will give her due respect." Zhou Ankang was not afraid of offending people when he spoke.
"What does this mean, Doctor Zhou?" Although He Yingqiu knew that Zhou Ankang was telling the truth, anyone would be unhappy if they heard it.
"I have researched another medicine. Taking it can increase a person's vitality and make people younger. If you dress up a little, someone like you will look at most twenty-five or twenty-six." Zhou Ankang said confidently.
He Yingqiu's eyes lit up when he heard it.
But he looked at Song Shuqing with disbelief.
Doesn't Song Shuqing look like she is twenty-five or twenty-six?
"Has Madam Feng taken the medicine you mentioned? "He Yingqiu asked anxiously.
"Uh..." Zhou Ankang looked at Song Shuqing. He didn't know if his wife had eaten it before, but he saw his wife nodded gently, "Yes. Look, doesn't Mrs. Feng look very young?"
"Okay, I'll buy both medicines. How much money?" He Yingqiu was very straightforward, as if he was afraid that he couldn't buy it.
