Gu Jiu swiped the pen and wrote two prescriptions.
One for fever and one for cough.
"Grab the medicine according to the prescription, decoct the medicine, hurry up!"
The servants took orders and left.
Both hot water and liquor were delivered to the bedroom.
Gu Jiu lifted the quilt, took off the child's clothes, and prepared to use physical means to cool the child down.
The child is too young, less than half a year old.
For such a small child, many treatment methods cannot be used, because the child's body cannot bear it at all.
Only relatively conservative treatments are available.
Whether it is to wipe the body with hot water or alcohol, it is to cool the child.
Not one inch, not even a fingertip.
The medicine is ready.
Gu Jiu grasped the portion and gave it to the child.
Gu Mei has been standing by the bed to help her, anxious and flustered.
After taking the medicine and rubbing his body again, the child's temperature finally dropped a little.
Although there is no thermometer to measure it accurately, but the child's body temperature can be clearly felt by touching it with hands.
Gu Mei was so excited that she burst into tears, and took Gu Jiu's hand, "Sister Xiao Jiu, thank you, thank you so much."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "Sister Mei, don't be in a hurry to thank me. Children are the easiest to repeat when they have a fever. You must arrange someone to watch it twelve hours a day.
Once it burns, use the method I just used to cool the child down.
I prescribed the medicine and continued to take it. The dosage must be controlled, because the medicine is three-point poisonous, and such a young child must not take more medicine.
As for the small silver spoon I just used, two spoonfuls are enough. This is extremely important, sister Mei must avoid it. "
Gu Mei nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help asking: "What will happen if the child takes too much medicine?"
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Such a young child has a fever. Taking too much medicine can easily cause deafness. In severe cases, it will affect the child's intelligence."
"what?"
Gu Mei was frightened.
Gu Jiu comforted: "According to the method I just said, with the small silver spoon I use, no more than two spoonfuls of medicine, there will be no problem."
Gu Mei felt relieved, "Thank you, sister Xiaojiu. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. I'm already at a loss."
Speaking of sad, Gu Mei cried again.
Gu Jiu hugged her, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
At some point, Gu Jiu was a few centimeters taller than Gu Mei.
Back then, when we first met, she was half a head shorter than Gu Mei.
She couldn't hold back, and asked: "The child is so seriously ill, where is the son of Han?"
Gu Mei wiped her tears and said: "He was still there in the morning, but later my mother-in-law sent someone to call him, so she went out and never came back."
Gu Jiu said: "Now that the child's fever has subsided, it's time to send someone to report to Han Shizi, so that he can rest assured."
Gu Mei nodded, "Sister Xiaojiu is right, she should send someone to report. But there are not many people in this mansion who really care about Niuniu."
There was sadness and exhaustion in the words.
Suddenly, Gu Jiu felt very sympathetic to Gu Mei.
Why no one cares about Niu Niu, isn't it because Niu Niu is a girl, not a brother.
As the wife of the eldest son, Gu Mei failed to give birth to a great-grandson for the Daihoufu, so naturally many people were dissatisfied.
At this time, a servant girl came in to report, "Qi to young mistress, the son is back."
Gu Mei was happy for a while.
However, the maid hesitated to speak.
"What's going on?" Gu Jiu asked for Gu Mei, her tone a little harsh.
The servant girl was inexplicably afraid of Gu Jiu, and when she heard her questioning, she couldn't help but tremble all over. Then she whispered, "Miss Qu is here too."
When Gu Mei heard Miss Qu, her complexion changed, and her eyes were fierce.
Gu Jiu frowned, "Who is Miss Qu?"
Gu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "It's my aunt's daughter, a cousin of the Han family."
The old lady of the Daihou Mansion had a daughter who married into the Qu family.
General Qu originally served in the south, and Mrs. Qu followed General Qu with her children.
Half a year ago, General Qu was transferred to the northern army where there were frequent wars. Mrs. Qu could not accompany her, and she did not want to go back to the northwest of the Qu family's ancestral home to serve her in-laws.
So Mrs. Qu took her children back to her natal home, and planned to stay in her natal home until General Qu returned to Beijing.
Mrs. Daihou naturally didn't want my sister-in-law to live in the Hou's mansion with her children.
But the old lady couldn't help feeling sorry for her daughter.
The old lady ordered the servants to tidy up the courtyard so that Mrs. Qu's family could stay in the Hou's residence conveniently. Now that the matter has come to this point, Mrs. Daihou can only admit it while pinching her nose.
But that was only the beginning of the trouble.
Mrs. Qu has a daughter, who has reached the age of Ji, but she has not talked about marriage yet.
Since she moved into the Hou's mansion, Miss Qu has been enjoying herself in front of the old lady of the Daihou's mansion every day, and she is deeply loved by the old lady.
He also often comes to Peony Garden where Gu Mei lives as a guest, and three or four out of ten times he will run into Han Shizi.
After coming and going, Miss Qu became acquainted with Shizi Han.
Han Shizi is the same as the song girl, cousin and cousin, it is wrong to say that there is something between them.
But it's not right to say that there is nothing between them.
After making a fuss, Gu Mei was sullen, and there was nothing wrong with her.
When Gu Mei heard that the two of them came together, her anger rose slowly, and she rushed out immediately.
When Han Shizi saw her, he hurriedly asked, "How is Niuniu?"
Gu Mei heheed twice, "Do you still know how to care about Niuniu? I am alone in a hurry for Niuniu. As Niuniu's father, where have you been?"
"Mother has something to tell you, don't you know?"
"Yes, I know my mother-in-law has something to order. But why does it take an hour or two to go? Is the Hou's mansion so big? Does it take so much time to go back and forth?"
Gu Mei was aggressive, Han Shizi frowned, a little displeased.
The little maid whispered beside her: "Thanks to Mrs. Zhao, Niuniu's fever has subsided."
Han Shizi breathed a sigh of relief.
Miss Qu suddenly stood up to show her presence, "Has Niu Niu's fever gone? That's great, thank God. I'm almost worried to death. Cousin, don't get angry with cousin. Cousin is really busy, there are many people in the house. Everything needs my cousin to take care of it, so don’t be offended if I didn’t come back in time to visit Niu Niu.”
"Shut up!" Gu Mei pointed at Miss Qu, "Why do you say such things? With what capacity do you stand here and say such things?"
Miss Qu seemed to be frightened, she looked frightened, "Biao sister-in-law, I just mean it well."
"Shut up, get out, I don't welcome you here." Gu Mei didn't save Miss Qu any face.
Miss Qu cried when she saw it.
But for any ambitious girl, shouldn't she run out with her mouth covered at this time? But Miss Qu stood where she was, not moving. He just looked at Shizi Han pitifully.
Han Shizi frowned, dissatisfied with Gu Mei, "Why are you angry at me, why are you angry at your cousin. My cousin is a guest, how can you treat guests like this?"
Gu Mei sneered, "Then ask your good cousin, is she a good guest? Why Niuniu gets sick is all because of her.
Yesterday, after she hugged Niuniu, Niuniu felt unwell, and immediately started to have a fever. I suspected that it was because she was sick to Niu Niu.
Knowing that she is sick, she still dares to get mad at Niu Niu, what is she so worried about? You have to be thankful that Niuniu's fever is gone now. If something happens to Niuniu, I will pay for the surname Qu. "
"Cousin, I'm not sick. It's impossible for me to get mad at Niuniu. Cousin, you have to believe me, I really don't."
Miss Qu cried terribly, tears falling down in patters.
Han Shizi kept furrowing his brows and never relaxed them from the beginning to the end.
He said to Gu Mei: "Don't grab and bite people indiscriminately. Niu Niu's illness is an accident, and it is inevitable for children to get sick. And Niuniu's fever has subsided, you should be happy."
"Hehe... the surname Han, you are still speaking for the surname Qu. Let me ask you, in your mind, is Niuniu more important, or your cousin Qu? Is it true that Niuniu is dead, and you are indifferent."
"Who said I was indifferent. Since yesterday, I have been anxious and uncomfortable like you."
"Since you are anxious and uncomfortable for Niuniu, then you should drive out the surname Qu! This is Peony Garden, and it is my territory. I don't welcome her, tell her to go away."
"Don't make trouble for no reason, okay?"
Gu Mei looked at Shizi Han in shock, "You said I was making trouble for no reason? Han, you actually called me making trouble for this woman? Where are you standing? Is there me in your heart? Tell me ?”
"Of course there is you. You are my first wife and the most important person to me. Of course I care about you."
"Hehe, the so-called most important person means that all grievances are borne by the most important person. This woman is not so important, but she can stand here and be defended by you again and again? Han Shibang, are you still a man?"
Han Shizi looked distressed, "Don't keep pestering Cousin Qu, she is innocent, and she came to visit you with good intentions. Look at you, you said so many bad things about her, but she didn't refute a word, what else do you want?"
Gu Mei laughed so hard that she burst into tears.
"Are you okay?" Han Shizi was a little worried.
"Shut up! I don't want to see you. Get out, take your cousin and get out." Gu Mei gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of hatred.
Han Shizi was tongue-tied, as if he really planned to leave with Cousin Qu.
"It's ridiculous!"
Gu Jiu who had been silent all this time finally spoke.
Gu Jiu was sitting on the chair, her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing towards Miss Qu.
"Someone, drag Miss Qu out."
Rong Xin and Bai Zhong took a step forward, grabbed Miss Qu and dragged her away.
Miss Qu was frightened, "What are you doing, let me go. Cousin, cousin, save me."
"Stop, who dares to move."
Han Shizi glared at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "What's the matter, Shizi wants to fight my wife?"
Han Shizi suppressed his anger, "I dare not fight with Madam. But please understand, Madam, this is Daihou's Mansion, not Wang's Mansion. It is not up to people from Wangfu to intervene in the matter of Daihou's Mansion."
Gu Jiu mocked and waved his hands, Rong Xin and Bai Zhong let go of Miss Qu.
Miss Qu immediately hid behind Shizi Han with a timid look on her face.
Gu Jiu pointed at her and asked Han Shizi, "Han Shizi said a lot before, and summed it up, it means that Miss Qu is an understanding, knowledgeable person, and she will never hug Niuniu with illness, right?"
Han Shizi nodded, "That's natural."
"Since Miss Qu is so understanding, I have a question that I can't express."
"What question?"
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "Miss Qu, who is the most understanding, why do you refuse to leave knowingly and voluntarily when you know that Sister Mei doesn't welcome you
You clearly know that if you stay, you will irritate Sister Mei, make her lose control of her emotions, and speak unscrupulously, why don't you leave empathetically? Why do you want to stay
Or is Miss Qu only willing to be considerate in front of others, but unwilling to show even a little bit of understanding in front of Sister Mei
I have to wonder what your purpose is for doing this.
At this moment, you pretended to be a fool and refused to leave empathetically, just to irritate Sister Mei, causing her to lose control of her emotions and speak indiscriminately. So that Han Shizi can see the most irrational and crazy side of Sister Mei.
Other than that, I can't think of a second reason to make the always considerate Miss Qu ignore Sister Mei's words to tell you to get out and insist on staying.
Miss Qu, Mrs. Ben would like to ask you, what is your intention in doing this? Stimulating Sister Mei, what good does it do for you? Do you have any grudge against Sister Mei? Or, seeing that Sister Mei gave birth to a daughter, you wished to marry Shizi Han, so as to replace Sister Mei. "
Miss Qu shook her head again and again, denying it.
Han Shizi frowned, "Madam Zhao, please don't talk nonsense."
Gu Jiu sneered, "The facts are in front of you, is Han Shizi still deceiving himself? Then tell me, why is Miss Qu, who is always considerate, unwilling to understand Sister Mei's difficulties? She knows that staying here will irritate Sister Mei. emotions, but refused to leave. In the final analysis, she has ulterior motives."
Han Shizi frowned and thought deeply.
Miss Qu yelled innocently, "I didn't, I'm not what you think. I didn't intend to provoke my cousin on purpose, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Shut up! Did Madam Ben allow you to speak?"
Gu Jiu scolded sharply.
Nanny Fang stepped forward and slapped Miss Qu on the face. Miss Qu's cheeks immediately turned red.
Miss Qu covered her face with an expression of disbelief.
Everyone else was shocked too.
Miss Qu is a spoiled guest of the Hou Mansion, she fights as soon as she says, she is so majestic.
With a serious and rigid face, Nanny Fang scolded: "Ma'am, how can you intervene when talking? Next time you dare to intervene, it will not just be a slap."
Miss Qu wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry.
Gu Mei just felt very happy.
It's still Xiaojiu's younger sister who does things simply and neatly.
Next time, she will stop wasting words with Qu's nonsense, and directly beat him out, which is easier than anything else.
It is also good to teach people in the whole government to know her attitude.
"Madam Zhao is so majestic, beating people in the Hou's house, did you not take the Hou's house seriously?" Han Shizi had a gloomy face.
Gu Jiu looked at Han Shizi with a half-smile, "Do you really think that the Gu family has no one when you allow a woman with a foreign surname to bully Sister Mei? As Sister Mei's natal family, I will vent my anger on her today. What's the matter? Is the prince going to turn against my wife?"
Wang Yi stood up with his sleeves rolled up: Turn your face, come on! This girl hasn't found someone to practice for a long time, and it happens to practice with you, Shizi Han, today.
Han Shizi looked at Gu Mei, counting on Gu Mei to say something.
Gu Mei said.
She said: "It's still my natal family who loves me. Others, I wish my Niu Niu died. Whoever wants to harm my Niu Niu, I will make her pay for her life. Gu Mei will do what I say. People who don't believe in evil, you can give it a try." , to see if I, Gu Mei, dare to kill someone."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Mei slapped the table with her palm, making a loud noise.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and ordered: "Drag this Miss Qu out, and don't allow her to step into the Peony Garden.
Nanny Fang, if you beat the person who beats the porter for my wife, whoever dares to let Miss Qu in in the future, the Hou Mansion will not take care of her, and my wife will also take care of her.
My wife is a majestic grandson wife, and I don't believe that anyone would dare to stop me if I take care of a servant of the Hou's mansion. "
Rong Xin and Bai Zhong took orders, rolled up their sleeves, and dragged Miss Qu to the outside.
Nanny Fang followed closely.
"Cousin save me, cousin, save me quickly."
As soon as Han Shizi took a step, Wang Yi stood in front of him.
If you want to save Miss Qu, you have to pass her level first.
Han Shizi looked resentful, "Madam Zhao, don't go too far."
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "My wife vented her anger on Sister Mei's behalf. What's the matter, the prince has an opinion? The prince doesn't feel sorry for Sister Mei, but I do. People that Sister Mei doesn't like, if you don't drag them out, why don't you keep them for the New Year?"
Shizi Han took a deep breath, "Who said this son doesn't love her? Mrs. Zhao, don't make wild guesses."
Gu Jiu had a sneer on her face, "From what I've seen and heard today, my wife only saw Han Shizi blindly defending Miss Qu, and never said a word to defend Sister Mei.
Is Sister Mei your wife, or Miss Qu your wife? Or, in the tradition of your Daihou Mansion, outsiders are more important than family members.
Family members are wronged and don't protect it, outsiders are wronged, but they keep defending it. "
