Shen Tianshu's hand when writing the prescription paused slightly, but soon returned to normal and continued writing as if nothing happened.
Thinking about it, although Mrs. Chu came to the villa to cover up others' eyes, she actually brought many servants with her, and she did not hide her whereabouts in her villa.
Chu Yichen and Qian Poxin had just come in through the back door without noticing it. It was only natural to look for them now.
Chu Yichen was heard asking outside: "Heng'er doesn't feel well? Why don't you go to the doctor in the city and why do you go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city?"
Seeing that her daughter's face was so red that she was about to bleed, this time Mrs. Chu simply opened the door and welcomed her out, pulled Chu Yichen aside and whispered a few words.
When Chu Yichen heard this, his expression softened slightly and he said: "I see, it is not easy to invite Mrs. Tong now. I have to thank Mrs. Guo very much."
"That's natural." Mrs. Chu nodded.
Chu Yichen pretended to be careless and said: "When I came here just now, I met a maid in the back garden who was looking for Mrs. Tong..."
"That must have gone astray." Mrs. Chu said without taking it seriously, "Just now Heng'er was crying and fussy and refused to allow Mrs. Tong to see a doctor. It was really out of character, so I asked someone to take Mrs. Tong for a walk in the garden. Make some time so that I can give advice to Heng'er.
"Later, the girl went to prepare tea, but Madam Tong came back first because she was worried about the situation here.
"No, I just finished treating Heng'er, and I'm writing a prescription for him!"
Chu Yichen's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more in front of his wife. He said, "Since Heng'er is so embarrassed, I won't go in. Why don't you entertain Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Guo?"
Mrs. Chu was relieved when she heard this. After all, although they were biological father and daughter, her daughter was older and suffered from such unspeakable problems. It was quite embarrassing to see her father at this time.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll be spared."
When Mrs. Chu sent Chu Yichen away and came back, Shen Tianshu had already written a prescription, handed it to Mrs. Chu and said, "Take this prescription for half a month, and then make an appointment for a follow-up consultation."
"Thank you, Mrs. Tong." Mrs. Chu hurriedly took the prescription and handed it to the nanny beside her. "When you get back, ask someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. You can keep an eye on it yourself and make Heng'er take the medicine on time."
"yes!"
Shen Tianshu explained the taboos and things to pay attention to before asking Gao Xiuer to pack her things and prepare to leave.
Mrs. Chu kept pleading: "It's almost lunch time, and this place is outside the city and located in a remote place. How can I let you leave hungry!"
"I've already made preparations and invited the chef from the restaurant in the city to come over. I'll have something here at noon. It won't be too late to take a rest before leaving."
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu turned his attention to Mrs. Guo, wanting to see what she meant.
Mrs. Guo also helped Mrs. Chu to keep the guests and said: "Ms. Tong, for the sake of this old woman, she should come here and have a meal with her before leaving. I, the old woman, will take advantage of her and borrow her table." Thank you very much, Mrs. Tong."
Hearing Mrs. Guo say the same thing, even if Shen Tianshu didn't want to stay any longer, he could only stay and eat patiently.
After all, as Mrs. Chu said, it was indeed lunch time and it would take at least half an hour to return to the city. If she insisted on leaving, it would easily arouse suspicion.
Chu Shuheng did not show up during lunch, only Mrs. Chu was there to accompany him.
Whether her purpose was to sincerely thank Shen Tianshu or to curry favor with Li Zian, the lunch was indeed very sumptuous and tasted really good.
But Shen Tianshu was still thinking about the secret meeting between Chu Yichen and Qian Poxin, and he was somewhat unable to swallow it.
Mrs. Chu was quite attentive and noticed that she didn't eat much. After hesitating several times, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Mrs. Tong, but the food cooked by this cook is not to your liking?"
"No, the food is delicious." Shen Tianshu explained with a slight smile, "It's my own problem. I lose my appetite when the weather is hot."
Mrs. Chu said clearly: "Mrs. Tong, are you afraid it will be a bitter summer? Oh, no wonder you are so thin."
Mrs. Guo also said: "Isn't it true? I also think that Mrs. Tong looks a little cleaner than when she was in Yongzhou Mansion before."
Mrs. Chu nodded with great understanding and said: "Although Kuxia is not a disease, it is still quite troublesome.
"My mother is like this. She loses her appetite when the weather is hot. She doesn't want to eat anything and has no energy. Every summer, she loses a lot of weight.
"It was fine when I was young, but now that I'm older, I really can't stand this.
"My family is also worried. I have taken her to see many doctors. Unfortunately, they all say that this is nothing wrong. She refuses to take medicine. This happens every year, which makes me really worried."
"Ku Xia doesn't want to eat. If I continue to drink those bitter medicinal soups, wouldn't it be even more sad?" Shen Tianshu said very understandingly, "Don't think that I am a doctor myself. I have encountered this problem with Ku Xia. , generally means eating as many fruits and vegetables as possible, and eating some sweet and sour appetizers to make yourself feel a little better.
"But Mrs. Chu's mother is old and she should eat less raw and cold food in summer, let alone eat more cold food just because the weather is hot, otherwise it will be more likely to hurt the spleen and stomach.
"If the bitter summer is really serious, why don't I write you some dietary prescriptions? They are all relatively mild, so you don't have to worry about being incompatible with your physical constitution. They are very suitable for the elderly to take supplements in summer."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu was immediately happy and said: "Ms. Tong still has experience and methods. If she can do this, I would be really grateful.
"When I get back to the city, I'll go find a cook who knows how to make herbal meals, and send them back to my mother along with the recipe. Now that it's getting hotter and hotter, I've been worried about this lately!"
Shen Tianshu had a lot of prescriptions for various medicines and dietary remedies in his mind. He had memorized many of them since he was a child, so it was not difficult to write down a few, so he accepted it easily.
But when she raised her head, she saw Mrs. Lai looking at her earnestly.
Shen Tianshu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mrs. Guo, you are not bitter..."
Mrs. Guo coughed lightly and said, "Although it's not a bitter summer, if the weather is too hot, it will more or less affect your appetite..."
Mrs. Chu immediately said wisely: "This is not simple. When Mrs. Tong writes the recipe, I will ask someone to copy it, and then send it to your house together with the cook. It can be regarded as the thank you I prepared for you." That’s it!”
The meal was in a harmonious atmosphere. After lunch, Mrs. Chu arranged rooms for everyone to rest.
Shen Tianshu took advantage of his break to write a few dietary prescriptions and gave them to Mrs. Chu, and then he left with Mrs. Guo and returned to the city.
But as soon as the Guo family's carriage left the Chu family's courtyard, people who had been waiting on the roadside for a long time approached it from a distance.
