After Mr. Chang passed away, Mrs. Chang moved to Moyuan and freed up the best garden in the garden. After passing a flower wall inlaid with diamond-shaped wooden windows, you could see the courtyard of Moyuan in front. In the middle of the yard is a long piece of
The knife-like Shoushan stone is planted with green bamboos on both sides and there are stalagmites in the middle. There is a half-couplet standing at the door of the hall. The words on it have just been repainted, and the handwriting is silver hook and iron painting, giving off a grand momentum.
The curtains in front of the house have been rolled up, and the little maid in blue armor is busy saluting everyone.
After passing the main room, there is the Chaoshou Corridor. The yard behind is planted with cherry trees and trellis begonias. Both sides of the corridor are filled with various bonsais. The flowers and plants are growing luxuriantly in the sun. Mother Chen, who is wearing a maroon breastplate, has been waiting there for a long time.
.
"How is the old lady?" Mrs. Chang asked in a low voice.
Mother Chen said hurriedly: "I'm not feeling well yet, but I'm feeling a little energetic." The old lady was ill before the accident happened to the Yang family. Later, when she heard that Mrs. Yang, Mr. and Mrs. Yang were gone, she became worried and became even more seriously ill.
Yang Mo followed Miss Chang San forward, and Mother Chen called out affectionately, "Miss Third, Miss in-laws."
Before Yang Mo could return the greeting, she heard a voice coming from inside the room, "The old lady is asking the lady in law."
Miss Chang San pulled Yang Mo and walked inside. After passing the red sandalwood screen inlaid with ivory, someone had already set up a soft curtain in front. The smell of steaming soup mixed with the fragrance of flowers hit her face. There was a little maid in the room holding a smoker slowly.
Fans are fanning, and fresh peach blossoms are placed on the small sandalwood desk.
Mrs. Chang was leaning on the big Kang by the window, and three or four young girls were standing below, serving her with bowls and cups.
Mrs. Chang saw Yang Mo and stretched out her hand lovingly, "Good boy, please get up to the Kang and let me take a closer look."
Yang Mo walked over and let Mrs. Chang hold her hands and sit by the kang.
Seeing Yang Mo, Mrs. Chang thought of the disaster that had happened to her sister's family. Her eyes immediately turned red and she stretched out her hand to pull Yang Mo into her arms to comfort her, "It's the same here, I am your biological grandmother, you just treat this place as your own home.
If you feel unhappy about anything, just come and tell me. Don’t worry, I won’t wrong you even for a day.”
Before Yang Mo could speak, Miss Chang San rushed to say, "Grandma, don't worry, I will also take care of my sister."
Mrs. Chang's head was filled with relief.
While we were talking, the maid outside came and said, "Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Wei are here."
Yang Mo could clearly feel the straight back of Miss Chang San next to her.
A coughing sound that was familiar to Yang Mo came from outside, and then Mrs. Wei, who was wearing a two-color pine and flower moiré patterned gown, entered the house, and then came Mrs. Cui, who was quite well-figured, and Mrs. Cui, who was wearing a side bun and a magenta phoenix-tail patterned gown.
His wife, Mrs. Chang Er.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Cui came forward to greet Mrs. Chang. Miss Chang San and Yang Mo were also busy saluting. After some polite remarks, the servants brought the chairs for everyone to sit down.
"This is Molan, Bingzheng's daughter." As soon as Mrs. Chang's voice fell, Yang Mo felt the pitiful looks cast by everyone.
Mrs. Cui's eyes flashed away, but her voice was filled with sadness, "What a pity, such a young child, thanks to the old lady taking care of him."
Mrs. Chang sighed, "When the Yang family was in Taiyuan Hospital, many people in Beijing received favors from the Yang family."
Yang Mo lowered her head. Mrs. Chang deliberately mentioned the past because she wanted to draw a clear line between the cases her father had committed now, so that the Wei family would not worry about her as an orphan. After thinking about this, Yang Mo suddenly wanted to laugh.
Miss Chang San, who was sitting next to her, also came over, put her handkerchief on the tip of her nose, and said in a slightly dull voice, "Sister Molan is a pitiful person."
Seeing Miss Chang San's compassionate heart, Mrs. Wei's eyes became more kind.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Mrs. Chang to take the medicine, and Mrs. Chen brought the pills up with her own hands.
Mrs. Cui spoke with concern: "I remember that the old lady had a root cause of illness in the past and couldn't swallow the bitter medicine. Is she still like this now?"
Mother Chen lowered her head and said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Third here, the old lady takes her medicine on time."
Mrs. Cui was a little surprised, but she understood in a blink of an eye, "The old lady loves the juniors the most. Miss Chang San persuaded me from the side, so it's no wonder that this is the case."
Mother Chen pursed her lips, "These medicines were made by Miss San according to the Yang family's recipe for making honey pills. They are sweeter than ordinary pills. Last time the doctor came to taste them and said that this method is good."
"
Mrs. Wei laughed after hearing this, "The third lady is both talented and beautiful, and it is rare that she is also knowledgeable about medicine."
After hearing this, Miss Chang San lowered her head and showed a shy smile.
Under such circumstances, Miss Chang San has indeed become "extraordinary".
Not long after, my mother reported again, "The doctor is waiting outside the door."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei stood up and left. Mrs. Chang came out of the suite and held out her hand to keep Mrs. Wei, "The banquet has been arranged, and we can't leave anyway."
The eldest wife and the second wife all tried to persuade her, "If you leave, how can we support this situation?" Mrs. Wei had no choice but to follow the host's wishes and sit down again.
Madam Chang asked someone to help her get down to the ground, and Miss Chang San hurriedly stepped forward to serve her.
Yang Mo also got up to help. When no one was paying attention, Yang Mo reached out to touch Mrs. Chang's ankles and calves, gently pressed them down and stroked them through her socks. The place where pressure was applied just now did not return to its original state.
As she had guessed, Mrs. Chang had edema.
Mrs. Chang's eyelids are thick and bright, which is not caused by her bloated body. She has rich clinical experience and can tell at a glance which ones are normal and which ones are sick. Mrs. Chang's condition has not improved after being in bed for so long.
It can be seen that the medicines taken are not necessarily symptomatic.
Seeing that Yang Mo had not put on the old lady's shoes yet, Miss Chang San came over to help, "These are new shoes, they are a little looser and tighter." She looked very filial.
Mother Chen took her maids to serve Mrs. Chang and went to the side room to diagnose her pulse. After a cup of tea, Mrs. Chang came out of the side room and everyone went out to listen to the doctor's explanation.
Mrs. Chang looked a little tired, but Miss Chang San smiled brightly and told the ladies, "The doctor said that my grandmother's illness has improved greatly."
The maid brought in the teapot, and the doctor bowed behind the screen before sitting down to write the prescription.
The doctor wrote down the prescription and handed it to Mrs. Chang to see. Mrs. Chang waved her hand and said, "My eyes have long been useless, so let Yiwan see how it is different from the previous prescription."
The third lady next to Yang Mo, Chang Yiwan, took the prescription in her hand and read it carefully. Yang Mo also wanted to go over and take a closer look. Unexpectedly, the doctor's handwriting was scrawled, and she had not yet identified a few herbs. Chang Yiwan
Yiwan was already confidently optimistic, "This medicine has two less flavors than the previous one. It contains astragalus and cinnamon heart to nourish blood."
While Chang Yiwan was talking, Yang Mo looked at the doctor behind the screen. The doctor had no objection, "Young lady is really a good person. She actually knows the properties of medicine."
Mrs. Chang Er said: "The old lady suffered from typhoid fever. She started to have fever in the past two months. Now she is finally free of fever."
The doctor bowed and listened carefully, "The fever has dissipated, and now the internal organs are deficient in wind. When the wind stops, the qi will disappear, so it is necessary to replenish qi and blood."
Mrs. Chang sighed and put her hands on her forehead, "When people get old, they are no longer useful. In addition to this disease, that disease comes. The headaches from before have returned. There are white flowers in front of the eyes, and I still cough at night.
I don’t like to eat even when I get up. If your husband can cure me of this disease, it will be a great blessing for me.” ********************** Thanks to Cang Qiong Hailan.
