Chapter 184 Healing
The house is equipped with furniture and various facilities, soft and comfortable beds and bedding wrapped in precious silk, screens of yellow rosewood, mirror tables and tables and chairs, and even the mats on the floor are woven with soft green bamboo.
Many furniture in this place can only be seen in the main house of the Zhang family. Looking at the complicated carvings and patterns on it, Zhang Yian, who had never seen the world, thought he had entered the Great Inner Palace.
Since Jiangnan is now the rainy season and fearing that the house is damp, Gu Shun ordered people to put on a charcoal stove at a corner of the house and use the charcoal fire to dry the moisture in the house to reduce the pain on Zhang's mother's waist.
Zhang's mother looked at the excellent charcoal in the charcoal stove and felt unconsciously distressed.
Although it is in Jiangnan, it is extremely cold in winter. In order to ensure the temperature in the house, ordinary families will burn charcoal to keep warm.
It is naturally impossible for Zhang Yian and the others to get this kind of charcoal. They often wait until each room is divided, collect some remaining residue, or buy cheap charcoal with a very large smoke content.
Due to the dense population near Jiangnan, the trees that can be used to burn charcoal are decreasing year by year, and tigers and leopards appear in the deep mountains and forests, so ordinary Tchaifu dare not get close.
The cost of long-distance transportation has increased year by year by year. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy firewood for daily cooking, let alone such expensive charcoal.
Zhang Yian took apart the packed luggage one by one and placed them separately.
The things I brought were the family wealth that my mother and him had saved in the Zhang family over the years, but compared with the decoration and furniture of the Gu family, it was obviously broken and old, and it was not of the same level at all.
While feeling moved, Zhang Yian suddenly realized that Gu Shun had entered the house.
He immediately knelt down sincerely and thanked: "Shopkeeper Gu, you are here."
"Brother Yian, please get up quickly. What are you doing? Why are you so restrained when you come here? From now on, you will treat this place as your own home. No one here dares to bully you again."
Zhang Yian wiped his tears excitedly and said, "Yi'an is incompetent. I really feel ashamed to be able to get the young shopkeeper so much. Don't worry, Mr. Gu. When my mother recovers from illness, I will go out to find a place and never bother the young shopkeeper for too long."
"You just need to live here with peace of mind. You can stay as long as you want. It's convenient for me to go out for a walk. Didn't you promise me to get a good exam? You can study hard and rely on you in Jiangnan City in the future."
Zhang Yian nodded heavily, "I, Zhang Yian, will definitely do my best to assist the young shopkeeper. In the future, the young shopkeeper will be both my friend and my boss. Yian will do what he says and will never break his promise."
"Okay, this sentence is enough with you," Gu Shun nodded in appreciation, "You rejected the invitation from the Zhang family to take you to the capital in front of the prince, saying that you wanted to stay by my side. I still remember it fresh. Thank you, Brother Yi'an."
"If the young shopkeeper is there, I want to thank the young shopkeeper. Yi An never expected that Brother Zhou was the young shopkeeper. Yi An was so sorry for his negligence before.
The young shopkeeper helped Yi An so much, and Yi An felt really sorry."
"If it weren't for Brother Yi'an, I wouldn't know what the Zhang family thoughts. I quit your sister's engagement and let you come out of the Zhang family. You wouldn't blame me, right?"
"How could it be that the young shopkeeper helped me so much at the Zhang family? Yi An was too grateful. His father was too ambitious, but he was just a self-defeated and deserved it. I have seen through the Zhang family thoroughly. There is nothing worth remembering there. Anyway, I am just a concubine of the Zhang family, so I will still be transferred to my Zhang family.
But Yi An always felt guilty towards the young shopkeeper. I was ordered by my father to curry favor with you."
"Brother Yian, don't take it to your heart. I know this is your father's task, and if it weren't for your father, wouldn't we have had the chance to meet yet?
OK, let’s talk about the serious business. These are doctors I hired from the clinic. They are very experienced. You are just about to settle down. My aunt’s illness cannot be delayed anymore. Let them first touch my aunt’s bones and pulse and diagnose the condition.
"Thank you, young shopkeeper," Zhang Yian looked at his mother happily and said.
Zhang's mother knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Young shopkeeper, thanks to your care, there is nothing we can repay. It's great that Yian has a friend like you."
Gu Shun hurriedly helped him up, "Auntie, I am still a child and can't stand this great gift.
Thank you and Brother Yi'an for your hard work these years. This place will be your home in the future. I will live next door. If something happens, you can come to me at any time."
"How can this make me just a slave and have never lived in such a good house. Can I change a smaller house for me and let my mother live in it?"
"This is the Gu family's villa. The Gu family's house is basically so big. When your waist is ready, I will take you around the Gu family and you will choose whatever you like."
"How can I ask the young shopkeeper to lead the way for me? I came last night and was confused. The Gu Mansion is as big as the imperial palace."
"Auntie, you are exaggerating. Your waist is not good, so you should sit down quickly and let the doctor show you."
The doctor who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tang Cong from Xiashunfeng Hospital has met the young shopkeeper, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang. I will first treat my wife with a pulse and ask Mrs. Zhang to sit down first."
Tang Cong took off the wooden box he carried with him, took out a towel from the box, and gently covered it on Zhang's mother's wrist. Then he put his finger on the towel and checked Zhang's mother's condition through the towel.
Zhang Yian stood nervously next to his mother, holding his hands tightly, and waiting anxiously.
Not long after the start of taking the pulse, Tang Cong's brows frowned slightly and his expression became solemn.
A minute later, he slowly lifted his hand and said nothing. Instead, he called a female doctor who was with him and asked Zhang's mother to lie down and touch the lumbar spine with her hands.
After the female doctor finished the diagnosis, she also looked solemn and whispered to Tang Cong for a few words. Tang Cong asked: "Mrs. Zhang's waist disease should have been a long time. Do you feel anything unusual in normal times?"
"My back disease has been happening since I was young. It hurts so badly at any time, and it is as intermittent as a needle. Recently, the pain has been swollen. I can only lie down when I sleep at night, and I will be awakened by the pain if I touch it." Zhang's mother said truthfully.
After listening to it, Tang Cong thought for a while before saying, "My wife, your rheumatism has been delayed for a long time, and the long-term wear and tear has caused stagnation in the meridians in the body, and the waist joints have also implicated multiple organs, causing irreversible damage.
Logically speaking, if you have a condition of a certain degree, you will be so painful that you can't stand it after you have a little activity. I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang's patience was so strong, which really makes me admire her."
After listening to Tang Cong's analysis, Zhang's mother was not shocked, but said very gratefully: "Please trouble Dr. Tang. I know in my heart what is going on in my body. It's just a cheap life and nothing to admire."
