Chapter 257 Deja Vu
Walking to the middle of the courtyard, I saw a group of children chattering in the middle of the main hall, surrounding another half-grown child. The half-grown child was lying in the middle, his face pale and his expression painful.
"Children, please make way. I came to see your brother Yunchuan. I have learned a little bit." As soon as she said this, the children all turned around and looked at her.
"Sister? Are you a doctor?"
"Sister, please take a look at my brother. He has been lying in bed for two days..."
Huanxi touched the head of one of the little girls and said with a smile:
"Yeah, don't be afraid, I'll take a look."
The children made way for her, and she squeezed in and said to them:
"Everyone, disperse. Your brother Yunchuan needs some fresh air."
The children were quite obedient. They took two steps back and the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
She raised her hand and was about to put it on her wrist.
At that moment, Yunchuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her unkindly.
"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm."
"No...no...no..." Yunchuan's little face wrinkled in pain, but he still refused.
Huanxi ignored his refusal and put her hand on his wrist. Seeing that she had taken his pulse, Yunchuan no longer resisted.
As the pulse became clearer, Huanxi's face became darker and darker...
Huanxi thought: This person... pulse... uh...
She called Gou Wa Zi and said to him, "Go to Wenchun Hall and find a doctor named He. Ask him to prescribe a warming herbal medicine. Go."
After saying that, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to him. Gouwazi was a little confused, but still took the money and ran out.
Seeing the happy face and what she just said, Yunchuan sighed, looked outside with a gloomy face, not daring to look her in the eye.
Most of the remaining children were only about seven or eight years old, and there were a few even younger, wiping their dirty noses.
Xu Qingzhao looked around and said to Huanxi:
"How is he? Is he serious?"
Huanxi shook her head. Although they were all children here, it was better not to say it out loud.
Xu Qingzhao carefully looked at the boy in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity.
This kind of familiarity wasn't like having seen him before, but rather someone's shadow that I saw in him...
Whose shadow is this...
Whose shadow is this...
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out whose shadow it resembled.
Huanxi touched her forehead with her hand. It felt hot and it was obvious that she had a fever.
Her pulse diagnosis was terrible, but she could still tell the pulse of a man or a woman. The Yunchuan in front of her... was a little girl...
She didn't know what had happened to the girl in front of her, but since she dressed herself like this and ended up living in a beggars' den, she must be a miserable person.
"I'm back!" Gouwazi's voice was heard outside the yard.
A child came in from the dog hole with a bag in his hand. He ran to Huanxi panting and handed the medicine bag to her.
"Do you usually cook anything?" she asked.
Gou Wazi continued: "We have a pot! Here, sister, come with me..."
She followed Gouwazi into the next room, where there was a broken pot with porridge cooking in it.
"Do you have a casserole?"
"Yes... here." Gouwazi dug out a half-large clay pot from a pile of debris, happily took it and took it to the well in the yard to fetch water and wash it clean.
He filled a pot with water and put the medicine bag in it. Gouwazi had already started the fire. He happily put the pot on and waited for the medicine to boil for about ten minutes before drinking it.
Letting Gouwazi watch the pot, she walked to the other side where Yunchuan was lying.
Yunchuan was like this because of her period. It might be because of her weak constitution and cold body, so the symptoms were more serious.
She doesn't want to go to the clinic, so with my medical skills, I can only take her here.
He pulled Xu Qingzhao over and said to her, "The situation here is a little complicated. I'll explain it to you later when everything is fine."
"Yeah, it's okay. I'll wait for you."
After a while, the medicine was ready. Huanxi fed it to Yunchuan and looked at her for a while until she gradually fell asleep. Huanxi gave Gouwazi ten taels of silver and left with Xu Qingzhao.
It was noon, and she and Xu Qingzhao were walking and talking about what had just happened, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.
There are still many people in Zhenxiu Pavilion today. I was happy to find that the fat shopkeeper was no longer there, and the original shopkeeper who was capable of handling things was here.
She went in and asked for a private room. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said apologetically:
"Madam, I'm so sorry, there are no private rooms now. Could you two please stay in the lobby..."
"Miss Zhao! Why are you here?"
Huanxi looked up and saw a young man in a snow-white gown and a folding fan standing on the stairs. It was Chen Yunrui.
"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I just wanted to come and see you."
"Looking for me? Oh, I remember now! Come on, there's a new private room upstairs. Come on, Uncle Zhang, bring us some good food."
Huanxi nodded and followed his footsteps. After going upstairs, they entered the innermost room and led Xu Qingzhao to sit down.
"You two are here today to get your share of the silver at the end of the month, right? I have to explain this to you. Since we started selling these items, our Treasure Pavilion has become much better."
Huanxi drank a cup of tea and smiled:
"That's good. I'm honored to be able to help Master Chen."
"Look at you, you're being polite again? Let me tell you, Xiang Man Lou is already trying to find out about Shu Xiang Ju's background. Although they're powerful in Rongshan Town, I heard their family has connections. You better be careful..."
"My Shuxiangju restaurant is open and running smoothly. We've already settled into Dashi Village. I don't think they'll bother with a village woman. So, how are the sales of those two dishes this month? What's the customer feedback?"
"Of course, customers all say it's delicious. But some people get tired of it after trying it once or twice and have to wait a while before buying it again."
"This is normal. It's fried food. When you sell it, you can pair it with some refreshing cold dishes. It's best if the cold dishes are appetizing. This way, the situation might be better."
Xu Qingzhao was drinking tea with a smile on her face, her face full of pride.
The Shang'an family has a long tradition of being a henpecked woman, and she... is the worst of them all.
The two were still discussing the dishes enthusiastically when the waiter had already brought all the dishes.
"We just caught a new roe deer today and killed some roe deer meat. Come and try it, both of you."
Huanxi picked up a piece of roast pork with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully.
"This meat is good, fatty but not greasy, stewed well and delicious."
"Right? We at Zhenxiu Pavilion collect game every day and make some of our signature dishes, while Xiangmanlou mostly serves dishes from the capital. That's the only advantage we have here. But thankfully, we now have new dishes..."
Huanxi nodded and said with a smile:
"The peppers will be ripe in two months. By then, you know..."
