The next day, everyone got up early. Worshiping ancestors was a top priority and they did not dare to neglect it.
The winter morning was particularly cold. Xia Chunyu asked Ye Jiayao to put on suede cotton boots and a fox fur coat. He also asked Qiao Xi to drink soup and let her hold it in her hands. She was wrapped up like a bear, and then she was satisfied with holding her hand. She goes out.
Ye Jiayao obediently let him hold his hand, peeking at his stern side face from time to time. It seemed that he had changed a lot this time and was becoming more considerate. Even in that aspect, he becomes gentle and considers her feelings instead of blindly pursuing his own happiness.
Uh... Now I am going to worship my ancestors. It seems inappropriate to think about these things. Ye Jiayao took a breath of cold air and let the chill dissipate those charming thoughts.
"Why is your face so red? What are you thinking about?" He whispered jokingly in his ear.
Ye Jiayao said, "What are you thinking about? What do you think I am thinking about? I am too hot when you wrap me up. Is it hot?"
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and tilted his mouth, expressing deep suspicion.
Ye Jiayao wrinkled her nose angrily and deliberately lifted the hat of her cloak. Xia Chunyu immediately put it on her: "Pretend I didn't ask. You don't need to take off the hat to prove it."
Ye Jiayao stared at him, with a proud smile clearly in his dark eyes. I couldn't help but feel discouraged, as my ability to keep a straight face seemed to have declined.
Unexpectedly, Chunli was the first one to arrive today. He must have been frightened by the Marquis in the past two days and wanted to show off. The servants were already placing the sacrifices. After waiting for a while, the Marquis and his wife arrived. , thanks to Chunfeng and Liuli, the third uncle's family was so close and unexpectedly arrived late. The Marquis snorted and was very unhappy.
Liuli only met with You and Zhou, and turned a blind eye to the others.
Still very proud, Ye Jiayao was deeply suspicious of Liuli's repeated claims that she liked Chunfeng. If you really like it, would you still smile? The last thing Chunfeng wants to see is for her to be so cold and arrogant in front of his family!
After worshiping the sky and offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the genius shined brightly, and there was actually a very good sun. According to custom, on this day the dust had to be swept, and everyone in the house was mobilized to clean it thoroughly inside and out.
Youshi took care of the ancestor worship, and Jiayao was too embarrassed to let You worry about the dusting. Chunyu had to go to the palace on business anyway, so she didn't need to accompany him, so Ye Jiayao got busy after the sacrifice.
Liuli went to Mrs. Qiao's house, had a cup of tea and then left. Later, Ye Jiayao heard from her servants that Liuli went to Mr. Zhou's house and sat there for a long time before coming back.
To be honest, Ye Jiayao was a little afraid that Liuli and Zhou would stick together. It would be bad if these two people met. They were celebrating the New Year, so don't bother them again.
For Xiangtao, Dr. Jiang is going back and will come every seven days from now on.
Ye Jiayao thought that they were going back to celebrate the New Year, and the young master was fine, so he ordered Qiao Xi to go to the accounting office and pay Dr. Jiang fifty taels of silver.
After a while, Qiao Xi came back and brought back thirty taels, saying that Dr. Jiang only accepted that much and refused to take any more.
Ye Jiayao secretly thought that Dr. Jiang was too upright and upright. Such a talent was worthy of trust. She wondered if Dr. Jiang had any research on gynecology. Dr. Renhetang's medicine was too slow to take effect. Maybe another doctor would be different.
"Is the person gone?" Ye Jiayao asked.
Qiao Xi replied: "Not yet, I'm packing my things."
Ye Jiayao immediately stopped what she was doing: "Qiao Xi, I'm going to see Dr. Jiang now. You go prepare a generous gift and send it over right away."
Ye Jiayao came to Dr. Jiang's room, where Dr. Jiang was instructing the wet nurse.
"Here is medicine for seven days, once at noon and once in the evening. Boil three bowls of water into a small bowl. You don't have to drink it all. It's good to have five or six spoons. The eldest young lady doesn't have enough breast milk, so she still needs goat's milk, but... It must be thoroughly heated before drinking, otherwise it will cause diarrhea, so other foods are not needed. The child's digestion ability is not good now, and it will be very troublesome if it is eaten bad... "
The wet nurse wrote them down one by one.
Dr. Jiang thought for a while and added: "Try to carry her out as little as possible, and don't go to crowded places."
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he had nothing to add, so Dr. Jiang said, "That's it for now. If you have any questions, come to me at any time. I won't go out for outpatient clinics during the Chinese New Year."
He said, carrying the medicine box and leaving.
"Doctor Jiang..." Ye Jiayao walked in with a smile and signaled the wet nurse to leave first.
"Second Young Mistress, do you have any other instructions?" Dr. Jiang always had a calm expression, his emotions and anger were not clear.
With this kind of person, there is no need to beat around the bush, just go straight. Ye Jiayao simply said: "There is something wrong."
Doctor Jiang said nothing, waiting for Ye Jiayao to speak.
"I would like to ask Dr. Jiang, can I see gynecology?"
Doctor Jiang looked her over for a while and said, "Your lips are white and you don't have enough energy and blood. Is your monthly letter accurate?"
After saying that, he put down the medicine box, opened it, and took out a pulse pillow.
Ye Jiayao said in her heart: There is a way.
He sat down hurriedly and stretched out his hand to check her pulse.
Doctor Jiang was not like Dr. Renhetang, who squinted her eyes and stroked her beard for a long time every time she took a pulse. She just concentrated for a while and then said: "You have cold poison in your body, and the cold poison is accumulated." I have been suffering from it for several years, and when I think about it...it has been at least four or five years, and it is a chronic poison. If I had treated it well, it would have been active for two years."
Ye Jiayao couldn't wrap her head around it. Didn't she say that cold air entered her body? She thought it was the root cause of the disease that fell after a night of floating in Yanxia Lake last time. How could it turn into a chronic cold poison? Four or five years ago, that was when she was at home!
"Do you feel excruciating pain every time you come back to Yuexin? It seems like your intestines are twisted together?" Dr. Jiang asked.
Ye Jiayao nodded in surprise: "Yes, it started like this in April last year."
Dr. Jiang said clearly: "That's right. Fortunately, you came to see me today. In a few months, there will be nothing you can do. You will never want to have children in this life."
Ye Jiayao was at a loss, this was so scary.
"However, the doctors previously said that I just had a cold body and had been taking medicine to nurse myself back to health."
Doctor Jiang snorted a slight sneer from his nose: "You are poisoned, not a cold. No matter how you nurse yourself back to health, it will be useless."
"Think about it for yourself, have you been eating something in the past few years?"
Those were the memories of the original owner a few years ago. Ye Jiayao didn't really explore the memories of the original owner. To be precise, she didn't actively explore them. Therefore, she rarely thought about the past. Now that Dr. Jiang reminded her, Ye Jiayao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it really happened.
It must have been in the winter when she was thirteen years old that she had a quarrel with Jin Rong. It seemed that Jin Rong was scolding her mother. She couldn't get angry and so she retorted. As a result, Ning was punished by Ning's family and was forced to kneel in the yard. The heavy snow covered her with feathers. She was frozen like a snowman. No matter how much Su’s mother cried and begged, Ning refused to let her get up. Later, she fell ill and was about to die from a fever. Ye Binghuai said a few words to Ning, who then hired a doctor for her. Later, the doctor I was prescribed a pill and told to take one pill every day. She probably took it for more than half a year, but she didn’t continue taking it because it was too troublesome. Could it be that there was something wrong with the pill
Dr. Jiang had already sat down to write the prescription, and then sighed: "Irresistible medical skills can harm people's lives. Just follow my prescription and take the medicine. If you find it early, seven patches of medicine will be enough. Now, you have to take it for at least half a month." In addition, I will prescribe a dose for you to soak in, once every three days, for an hour each time. The water should be as hot as possible to fully open the pores of the body, so that the medicinal properties can penetrate better. A two-pronged approach will definitely remove the cold poison from the body. .”
Ye Jiayao took the prescription. She trusted Dr. Jiang's medical skills, and Dr. Jiang was so sure. However, this discovery was shocking and made her a little confused.
Just in time, Qiao Xi delivered the gift box.
Ye Jiayao stood up and said warmly: "Dr. Jiang, thanks to you this time, I don't know how to thank you. If you don't want to ask for more medical fees, you must accept this gift box."
Doctor Jiang said calmly: "I don't need this kind of thing, the second young lady should keep it and give it to others!"
With that said, he closed the medicine box and left.
Ye Jiayao was stunned. Dr. Jiang's temper was too weird. It was his duty to treat patients and save people, but it was normal for the patient's family to express gratitude. He neither stole nor robbed. How could there be anyone in the world who couldn't get along with money
Qiao Xi said: "Doctor Jiang has such a temper. She doesn't want the clothes the eldest mistress gives her. Based on her medical skills, if she was willing to accept money, she would ask for money. She would have become rich and opened a medical clinic long ago."
Ye Jiayao thought: "Doesn't her family have a medical clinic?"
"No, that's it. She uses all the medical money she earns to administer medicine. She is a well-known benevolent person."
Ye Jiayao was in awe. This kind of person was so great. In such a comparison, Ye Jiayao felt that she was too inferior. She made so much money and even thought about doing good deeds, but she still earned more and gave less.
I had an idea in my mind. I happened to get some money from Zuo Qingyun. Why not open a charity hall to help those who cannot afford medical treatment because of lack of money? I believe Dr. Jiang will be happy to do this.
Looking at the two prescriptions in her hand, Ye Jiayao was in a panic. After thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that she was poisoned, and the medicine she drank for more than half a year was in vain. The most depressing thing is that those pills are gone. Otherwise, they would have been brought to Dr. Jiang for verification. However, the doctor should still be there. What is his last name
Ye Jiayao thought about it for a long time before she remembered that her surname was Gu.
This matter must be investigated clearly.
In fact, you don't need to check to know that it was Ning who did it. Jin Rong was only twelve years old at that time and would not have such thoughts. It's just that she likes to speak with facts.
When Xia Chunyu came back after finishing his errands, he saw that everything in the house was clean and brand new, except that there were no red lanterns and festive window grilles, which lacked a bit of New Year's flavor.
After asking the servant, the servant said that the second young lady was in the house, so Xia Chunyu went back to the room directly.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw her sitting on the bed in a daze.
Xia Chunyu took off his cloak, Qiao Xi took it and hung it on the Phoenix Wings hanger, then went out to make tea.
"What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed?" Xia Chunyu walked over and pinched her nose.
Ye Jiayao was uninterested and too lazy to move or hide, so she just pinched him.
"Chunyu, sit down, I have something to tell you." Ye Jiayao patted the edge of the bed.
