Rumors have always been short-lived but spread everywhere, and some people deliberately exaggerated it. Within a day or two, it became widely known that Xie Songhua was talking to Ye Rongshi in private.
Although he noticed that the girls in the Xie family were looking at her wrongly, Xie Songhua didn't take it to heart. After all, since she came back, when had these people looked at her the same way?
What's more, she has a lot on her plate right now!
Ding Xiang stood guard at the door of Jingxin Hall, nervous and apprehensive. Her eyes darted around from time to time, for fear that someone might pass by.
At this time, Xie Songhua had already entered the yard and opened the door of a room inside. When the woman on the bed in the room saw the visitor, her eyes suddenly lit up and she was about to get up, "Girl, you are finally here!"
Xie Songhua walked over unhurriedly, carefully observed her expression, and then said, "Auntie, you believe me this time?"
Xie Songhua only discovered the Jingxin Hall when he was wandering around the mansion for those days. After chatting with the woman he met here, he realized that this was a place dedicated to caring for the sick servants in the mansion.
To be precise, it was to take care of the sick servants who had no place to go.
If you have a place to live outside, you will naturally go home when you are sick. Why do you need to come here?
Xie Songhua was a doctor, but he couldn't bear it after coming here twice, so he sneaked in and took a look, only to realize that the people below were thrown here and basically ignored him.
If you have some money, you can ask someone to send a doctor to help you prepare two doses of medicine. If you don't have much money, you can just wait to die.
It’s just that she doesn’t have much money. At most, she can only use her medical skills from her previous life to help with medical consultations and medicines, but the people here still have to do it themselves.
Others were naturally overjoyed to receive free medical treatment, and they tried to find ways to find people to help with the medicine.
Only this Aunt Mei was coughing and sarcastic, and she didn't even look at her. Xie Songhua didn't care, she just left a simple recipe and left.
It is inevitable for people who have been ill for a long time to have weird temperaments. After being a doctor for so many years in the previous life, don’t you know this? It’s not like you care about the patients.
I came here again today and saw Aunt Mei's reaction, knowing that she probably used her last recipe.
"Girl, please help me. There are already two or three people in this yard who are under the girl's care. They have all gone back to work on errands. I took the girl's recipe and I feel less heavy. I was really a villain that day. I hope that girl
Haihan.”
Xie Songhua pursed her lips and smiled, and asked her to stretch out her hand. Before the other party spoke, he said, "Auntie, please don't say anything yet. I'll take your pulse first."
He listened carefully with both hands, and after carefully looking at her complexion, he asked: "Auntie should have just coughed at the beginning and had no other symptoms, right? It might have been ten days or half a month later.
Fever, physical weakness, night sweats and other symptoms gradually started to increase? Now, I am afraid that I am completely weak and the cough has become more severe?"
Fortunately, while I was working the night shift, I read many original Chinese medicine compendiums, and I could easily pick up these frightening words and phrases.
When Aunt Mei heard this, her face was filled with hope, "This girl can really cure my disease!"
Xie Songhua just smiled slightly and did not answer. Aunt Mei immediately said: "As long as you can cure my disease, I will pay you any amount of medical fees."
This Aunt Mei is the steward of the second door, and her salary is very rich on weekdays, but she has a cough, and she can't hide it. Now a month has passed, and the lady steward who replaces her has become almost handy, and her position is in jeopardy.
Naturally, I was filled with eagerness.
Xie Songhua looked at the prescription she had used before. She was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. She took out the charcoal pen from her arms and wrote a new prescription on the paper.
However, Aunt Mei grabbed Xie Songhua's hand and said, "One thing is different, but two people are different. The girl can walk around outside, why don't you grab the medicine for me!"
As she spoke, she said sincerely: "My girl's efforts will not be in vain!"
Xie Songhua looked at her again, nodded and said: "If aunt is trustworthy, I will have someone deliver medicine to aunt tomorrow."
Aunt Mei seemed to have seen the savior, so she naturally responded.
Dangzhi grabbed two pieces of silver from the inside of the bed and said, "Excuse me, girl!"
He really is a rich man! Xie Songhua was so excited that he spent nearly five silver coins in one move, which was so generous!
In the evening, Xie Songhua was practicing calligraphy under the lamp, and Aunt Lan came in carrying tea with a litigious look on her face.
The small tasks of serving tea and water have now been handed over to the maid below. She is probably doing this for the afternoon.
Moreover, Aunt Lan has her own residence in the alley behind Xie's Mansion and usually does not stay overnight.
Xie Songhua knew this well, so he asked her to sit down and wait. He didn't put down his pen until he finished writing the article in his hand.
Then he frowned and looked at his words, feeling unspeakably melancholy in his heart. It was so ugly!
"There's no rush to practice calligraphy. The girl is already working very hard." Aunt Lan's eyes showed some appreciation.
Ever since Xie Songhua went to school, he would get up for half an hour in the morning to recite books and practice calligraphy for an hour at night. On weekdays, when he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he would always hold the book in his hand.
Even a man who studies is just so diligent.
"I started late, so I am not as good as others, so I naturally have to work harder." When Xie Songhua saw that the words were dry, he put it on the pile of paper next to him, turned around and asked with a smile: "Auntie, do you want to ask about what happened in the afternoon?"
Aunt Lan didn't hide it, "Girl is the master of the house, how can she treat the servants? What's more, a decent girl..."
How could a decent girl know such a thing? Xie Songhua knew what she had unfinished business with.
Medicine woman is one of the three aunts and six women. In this social background, it is a profession that is looked down upon.
As the direct daughter of Ge Laofu, how can Xie Songhua be tied to such an identity?
"Auntie is an old man in the house. How many tricks are there in this deep house? Not long after I arrived, I learned a lesson from Aunt Zhang. Is there anything in this world that is more important than life?!"
Under the light, the girl's skin was as honey-like, and her pair of water-clear eyes shone with determination.
Aunt Lan suddenly realized that the facial features of the fourth girl were not inferior to any of the girls in the house, and were even a bit more tough and lively than the others.
Aunt Lan couldn't refute Xie Songhua's words, because as she said, there were too many such things in the Shenzhai compound.
"But a girl shouldn't give it to..."
"My aunt doesn't know. Although I learned some medical skills from my mother-in-law there in the past, these medical skills are not as good as other things. Only after personally experiencing many cases can I gain my own experience. Otherwise, how would those medical skills be gained?
The older a doctor is, the more valuable he is?"
Aunt Lan laughed at her words, "What does it mean to be more valuable? It's like comparing goods with others."
"It's great if Auntie knows what it means!" Xie Songhua saw her expression relaxed, and knew that he had persuaded her, "Anyway, I always wear a veil when I go to the Jingxin Hall, and no one sees my appearance."
Aunt Lan finally felt relieved, "Since the girl has a plan in mind, I won't say anything more. It's just that it's better for the girl to show less face. If there is anything, just ask the slave to handle it."
"Isn't there something I need to trouble my aunt?" Xie Songhua said, and took out Aunt Mei's prescription. "There is no one I trust more than my aunt."
"You can read and understand medicine. Most farm girls don't have your skills. What is your background?"
Yu Ruzhuo had not appeared for several days, and Xie Songhua was startled again by his sudden voice.
