Chapter 250 Grandmother Jia 52
Doctor Zhang didn't drink tea, but went to examine Wang carefully first.
"Your Madam's body has been severely damaged by the poison," Doctor Zhang said thoughtfully. "If you want to cure it completely, you must use good medicine. As for the fever, it's not serious. I'll prescribe a medicine that will only last for three days."
Jia Zhu said quickly, "Please ask Doctor Zhang to take care of my mother."
Yun Xi really didn't want Wang to be cured, so she said insincerely, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang gave Wang acupuncture and prescribed the first stage of medicine. Yun Xi looked at the prescription and found that they were all precious medicinal materials.
"Lanhua, the prescription requires cordyceps sinensis. Bring it from my room."
After Jia Yuanchun waited for Doctor Zhang to leave, she took a deep breath when she saw the prescription. The herbs in this prescription were too expensive!
Yun Xi looked at Yuanchun, "What? Is it difficult to gather them together?"
Yuanchun nodded, "I guess some of the herbs won't be available."
Jia Zhu asked hurriedly, "How come I can't buy it?"
"Don't worry, let's all contribute. However, the treatment will take a long time, so we need everyone to contribute. Zhu'er, take the prescription to your uncle and get some."
Jia Zhu was stunned. "Does my uncle have any?"
"Of course, I remember some of these things were in your mother's dowry, but unfortunately she sent them back to the Wang family. When the Wang family needed help before, your mother was obliged to do so. Now that your mother needs medical treatment, are your uncles prepared to stand by and watch?"
Jia Yuanchun's frown slowly relaxed as she pulled Jia Zhu aside. "Brother, go ask around. Mother's treatment lasts three months each, and there are three courses in total. The cost of these herbs will be over fifty thousand taels. It's not that I'm stingy with the money, but you're getting married in a little over a month, and it wouldn't look good if your future sister-in-law saw the accounts."
Jia Yuanchun had some complaints about her mother and her uncle's family. Her mother's dowry was not much, and she had no right to inherit the Wang family's inheritance. Even so, her uncles still deducted money from her mother without considering her mother or them at all.
"I'll ask."
Jia Zhu agreed.
Yun Xi left after getting the Cordyceps sinensis. Just then, the second house came and she went to see how the mansion was decorated to prevent any trouble on Jia Zhu's wedding day.
Yun Xi looked at a stain, and Lanhua hurriedly asked the servants from the second room to clean it. After walking back and forth twice and seeing that there was no big problem, Yun Xi returned to Rongqing Hall.
After Wang took the medicine, Yun Xi ignored her and waited patiently for Jia She and others to return to Beijing.
On the first day of June, the huge group of people finally disembarked at the dock.
Cui burst into tears. "Finally I'm back. Nanny Lin, please go check on the young ladies and gentlemen. Are they feeling hot?"
"Yes."
Jia She got off the boat and found the servant who came to pick him up. "Lin Zhixiao, over here, take someone to move the luggage. It's too hot today."
Zhang asked Lin Zhixiao's wife, "Is there an ice basin in the carriage?"
"Madam You, Mrs. Cui, Miss, please come in and cool down." Lin Zhixiao's wife diligently helped to settle in.
Cui looked at Housekeeper Lin and said, "Madam Lin, please take the maids and get on the carriage. Let's go home quickly and make arrangements."
Lin Ruhai also asked the women and children to go back first because the weather was too hot and he was afraid that the children could not bear it.
Soon, a group of carriages set off with a "clattering sound" and headed towards the Lin family. The Lin family's mansion had been taken back, and now they lived in their own three-story house.
The motorcade was continuously transporting luggage to the Lin Mansion. People on the street were pointing and talking. Jia She was riding on his horse and staring all the way. He was also amazed at the financial resources of the Lin Mansion. His sister had bought so many good things in Yangzhou over the years. The famous flowers and plants alone were enough to make people envious.
"Lian'er, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on things from behind?"
Jia Lian rode up and said, "The luggage has been loaded. The front is moving too slowly, and the back hasn't started yet. Let me take a look."
"Be patient and wait. The imperial luggage has gone first." Jia She said in a complicated tone, "The three large ships are fully loaded. Some are waiting."
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Jia Lian looked at the vendor next to him and asked for a pot of water to wash his face. Only then did he feel less anxious.
When Yun Xi heard that they were back, she opened the side door early and waited for them.
"Grandma, will my aunt come home today?" Yuanchun stretched her neck and looked outside expectantly.
"Yes, I've asked the kitchen to prepare it. The Lin family will come for dinner tonight." Otherwise, why would I invite everyone here? I have my reasons.
The men went to wait outside the main gate, Tian Tian and Wang were guarding the inner courtyard gate, and the old people, children, girls and concubines were waiting in Rongqing Hall.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, a servant finally came to report the news.
"They're back! They're all back! The Marquis and his wife, Old Madam Cui, the young ladies and their husbands, and the young cousins are all here."
The servant rushed into the inner courtyard, shouting. Yun Xi stood up and led the others towards the gate. "My dear relatives, you are finally here. Thank you for your hard work on the journey." She held Cui's hand, but her eyes swept over everyone. She saw Jia She's arm in a sling and the scars on Lin Ruhai's face...
Cui's eyes turned red, "My dear, we narrowly escaped death..."
Lanhua said quickly, "Madam Cui, tea is ready in the room. Please come in first."
When Cui saw the group of children behind her, she stopped talking immediately and Yun Xi slowly pulled her into the house.
"Hey, you have suffered a lot. Rest in the house first. We will have a big dinner tonight." Yun Xi patted Cui's hand soothingly.
As the group entered Rongqing Hall, they immediately felt a cool breeze blowing towards them.
Cui sighed, "It's still cooler here, dear."
"Hey, I know the ice in the house hasn't broken down since you came back today." Yun Xi looked at Jia Min, "Hurry up and bring the child to me to see if he's warm."
With red eyes, Jia Min gave Lin Daiyu to Yun Xi. Yun Xi looked at the little Daiyu nodding her head, and hurriedly asked the maid to send the children to sleep for a while.
Cui and others chatted for a few minutes and then went to rest.
Lin Yu and Jia Lian, on the other hand, were full of energy and expressed their desire to stroll around the courtyard, as they heard the scenery was beautiful.
"Your sister-in-law has thought of this a long time ago and invited all the young ladies to stay for two days. Everyone's courtyard has been locked. You can go for a walk. The pavilion in the lake is the coolest." Yun Xi said lovingly, "Miss Tian, please arrange for some fruit and pastry to be sent to the pavilion in the lake."
"Yes, Brother Yu, Brother Lian, you two go ahead with the servant. I'll go and make the arrangements." Tian Tian smiled and went to do it. When she saw her mother-in-law at the door, she followed her. "Mother, are you feeling okay? Do you want to go downstairs and rest?"
"Of course. I want to warn you here not to let your aunt and your second aunt quarrel. The old lady only has her daughter in her heart today. If that happens, Wang will not be well, and you, the responsible person, will also be looked down upon." Zhang patted her daughter-in-law's hand, and then let the maid help her leave.
Tian Tian knew what her mother-in-law was talking about, took it to heart, and turned around and became busy again.
