Chapter 20 Admissions

Dan Niang broke free from the woman's hand and followed her.

"Sister..." she shouted, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang who was walking beside her parents.

Mrs. Chen Shao quickly grabbed her.

"Danniang, go back quickly." She whispered.

"Sister, do you still recognize me?" Dan Niang asked.

Cheng Jiaoniang glanced at her.

"I don't recognize him," she said.

Don’t recognize it?

We met by chance, and we were just children, so I don't remember it clearly.

Chen Shao signaled his wife to hold Dan Niang in place.

At this time, they had already reached Mrs. Chen's house, and the servants hurriedly opened the door.

Mr. Chen has been ill for two months. Although his children are dedicated and his maid is considerate, the house still has a stale smell.

"My lady's illness is indeed right." Chen Shao said, taking off his clogs, and leading Cheng Jiaoniang towards the couch, "It's just that my father didn't get sick two months ago, but fell down a month and a half ago."

"No." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Two months ago, I had a nosebleed at night."

Nosebleeds at night?

Chen Shao and his wife looked at each other in surprise, and the maid beside them said "Ah."

"Yes, yes." She nodded and shouted in surprise, "Two months ago, there were a few days when my grandpa would have nosebleeds at night."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Shao asked anxiously.

"My grandpa said it's okay, and it's really okay. The water stopped flowing after I washed it, and it only lasted two or three days." The servant woman said in panic.

According to what the lady said, it was the old man who got sick at that time. The more she thought about it, the more she became afraid. If the old man was not cured and she blamed herself for not repaying the disease in the first place, it would be terrible.

The servant girl knelt down in tears and admitted her mistake.

"Tell you, what can you do?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.

Chen Shao was embarrassed.

Yes, so what if you tell yourself? It’s just a nosebleed. It’s inevitable because the weather is dry. Who would have thought it was a disease?

"Get up." Chen Shao said, "My father is old and everything is no small matter. He feels sorry for our children and refuses to tell us. You must not hide it too."

The servant's grateful response was.

Cheng Jiaoniang had already walked to the couch. The palace lights on both sides were dim, illuminating the sleepy people on the couch.

Chen Shao and his wife followed up and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang nervously. Seeing that she was looking at her seriously, they dared not say a word for fear of disturbing her diagnosis.

The room was silent until everyone was almost suffocating.

"I can't remember." Cheng Jiaoniang said suddenly.

Chen Shao and his wife were stunned for a moment.

"Madam, what can't you remember?" Chen Shao asked nervously.

Can't you remember the fairy prescription?

"I don't remember recognizing him," Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at the old man, then turning to look at Dan Niang, who was being pulled by the servant woman and standing by the curtain.

After Banjin left, she remembered what had happened and the names and places of the people, but she could never remember the faces of those people. So strictly speaking, all she remembered about what happened before Banqin left was on paper.

those things.

Chen Shao and his wife looked at each other in astonishment.

I've been fussing for a long time, and I'm not diagnosing a disease.

"Madam, look at my father..." Chen Shao asked hurriedly, sighing at this point, "In the past half month, I have been awake less and less. I rely on ginseng soup every day to catch my breath."

Cheng Jiaoniang stretched out her hand, and Chen Shao helped take her father's hand out from under the quilt and looked at her to take her pulse.

The room fell silent again.

After a moment, Cheng Jiaoniang took her hand away. Chen Shao and others breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at her nervously.

I didn't even dare to ask what happened.

"Give me a set of golden needles." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I'll give him the needles first to wake him up."

There was the sound of footsteps outside the door. He seemed to be in such a hurry that he didn't even take off his clogs and walked into the house.

"No need to fight, no need to fight, I have it here."

An old man said tremblingly.

A child trotted in behind him, carrying a medicine box.

"Where is the miracle doctor?" he asked, squinting and looking around.

Chen Shao and his wife came over to greet him.

"Mr. Li, why are you here so late?"

"Didn't I say that when the miracle doctor comes, he will call me sooner or later? If I miss something like this, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?" Dr. Li said, still looking around the room, "Where is the miracle doctor?"

Cheng Jiaoniang never got up or even turned her head, so Chen Shao had no choice but to lead Doctor Li over.

Danniang had already taken the opportunity to run to the bed and kneel down.

"Sister, can you cure grandpa?" She tugged at the corner of Cheng Jiaoniang's clothes, with some expectation, "Grandpa said he would take me to see the lanterns on August 15th, but he didn't go. My cousin said, the first month of the lunar month

I will definitely be able to go on the 15th day of the lunar month. Sister, I heard them say privately that my grandpa is going to die. Can you still take me to see the lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month?"

Children as young as four or five still don’t know whether they will live or die.

Cheng Jiaoniang looked sideways at her.

"Yes." She said, "It will be fine in a few days. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I can go see the lanterns."

Dan Niang suddenly smiled and threw herself beside the couch, shaking the old man's arm.

"Grandpa, grandpa, my sister said you are about to get well, let's go see the lights." She shouted happily.

Mrs. Chen Shao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dan Niang.

"This is the wife of the Cheng family." Chen Shao introduced Dr. Li, and then said to Cheng Jiaoniang, "This is Dr. Li from the Imperial Hospital."

Cheng Jiaoniang then looked up, and Doctor Li also looked over.

"She?" He said in surprise, "Is she the lady from the Cheng family you want to invite?"

He naturally saw this woman when he entered the house, but she was so young that he thought she was Mrs. Chen's grandson. He never expected that she was the lady Lu Yu who was regarded as the last hope of life-saving by the Chen family.

Cheng Jiaoniang was not surprised.

"Do you have a golden needle? Lend it to me." She said, stretching out her hand.

The Zhou family and his wife were sitting a little uneasily in the hall, and the others sitting with them were also uneasy. Everyone was thinking about the diagnosis and treatment here, but they couldn't push it urgently, so they had to continue to listen to Mr. Chen Si's talk about what happened on the way.

The listener is careless, the speaker is careless, and he is confused and doesn’t know what to say.

"...several people bit the wolf in the leg..."

A young woman couldn't help laughing out loud, and everyone came back to their senses. Only then did Mr. Chen Si realize that he was distracted and a little embarrassed.

"I wonder how the diagnosis and treatment went?" he asked, changing the subject.

"After all, I'm still young..." Mr. Zhou sighed and said, no matter whether you can do it or not, it is always good to be humble.

A maid hurriedly came in outside the door.

"I've already had the injection, Madam Cheng said, and I'll wake up by tomorrow morning at the latest." She said tremblingly.

The people inside the house stood up excitedly and rushed outside.

Chen Shao and his wife have already arrived with Cheng Jiaoniang.

"Jiaojiao, how about it?" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked impatiently, "Can it be cured?"

"Of course." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"The injections have been administered and the medicine has been prescribed. Doctor Li is guarding it," Chen Shao said to his brothers.

"Then what's next?" Mr. Chen Si asked, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang.

"Wait." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Mr. Chen Si touched his nose. This woman... always told the truth.

"It's getting late then, let's go back first." Mrs. Zhou said, taking Cheng Jiaoniang's hand, "I'm too tired."

"I still have to wait until he wakes up and takes medicine," Cheng Jiaoniang said.

Mrs. Zhou was embarrassed.

"Madam, please stay here, everything is packed." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly. She didn't want this woman to leave at first, but she was too embarrassed to stay. Since she will need medicine later, it would be the best.

"Yes, it's better to stay here, so that everyone can rest assured." Chen Shao also said, giving a slight salute to Mr. Zhou and his wife.

"Of course it's good, of course it's good." Mr. Zhou and his wife nodded hurriedly and said.

"It's getting late, you should go back and have a rest." Chen Shao said.

It was hard for them to stay here. There was a patient in the house who was anxious and confused, so the Zhou family left four servant girls to take their leave.

When the Zhou couple left, Cheng Jiaoniang was about to rest, and Mrs. Chen Shao hurriedly sent someone to take her away.

"Oh, by the way." Cheng Jiaoniang thought of something and turned around and said, "If you wake up in the middle of the night, just take medicine and don't wake me up."

Everyone in the Chen family was stunned, but then they seemed to understand something. (To be continued)
