Chapter 172 The Generous Li Family
Madam Li was a shrewd person. Seeing this, she quickly said, "Since Miss Song is treating my grandson in our Li Mansion, it will be late later. We should clean up the guest room and entertain Miss Song. Please rest assured, Master Zhu."
Zhu Deming did not force it.
"In that case, everyone, goodbye."
Old Madam Li and Madam Li hurriedly saluted.
"Sir, walk slowly."
After Zhu Deming left, Mrs. Li hurried to Song Yuntang.
"Miss, I wonder how to treat my son's illness?"
"The lesion is in the brain, so we need to take our time and not rush it."
Song Yuntang took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription for Madam Li, and then asked her to instruct the servants of the Li Mansion to prepare clean water and white wine.
"I'll give the young master acupuncture later to speed up the absorption of the blood clot in his brain. If all goes well, he'll be able to wake up early tomorrow morning. I'll give him another acupuncture before I leave. After that, he'll take the medicine I prescribed. It will slowly dissolve the brain mass and he'll be cured."
"Fortunately, the lump isn't large, but the process of dissolving it may take some time. During this time, you may experience a series of discomforts from the medication. It's best if you can tolerate it, but if the reaction is too severe, don't force it. Stop the medication and ask the doctor to see you before re-prescribing."
"Will there be any sequelae?" This is the question that Mrs. Li is more concerned about.
"He may still have occasional headaches after recovery, but the little boy is still young. As long as we take good care of him and pay more attention to changes in his body, there will not necessarily be any sequelae." Song Yuntang said.
When Mrs. Li heard this, the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch out a little.
"That's good, that's good!" She hurriedly instructed the nanny beside her, "Go, get twenty taels of silver and give it to Miss Song. Miss Song saved my grandson this time, and she will be the benefactor of my Li family in the future."
Just then, the servants brought in white wine and water.
Song Yuntang first used clean water to wash off the poison applied on his hands before going out, and then used white wine to disinfect the silver needles and his hands.
Then he asked someone to take off Young Master Li's clothes and started giving him acupuncture.
The people around saw Song Yuntang holding a long silver needle and inserting it into one acupuncture point after another of Young Master Li. They dared not breathe, for fear that something unexpected would happen in the middle of the process.
However, what surprised everyone was.
The young master of the Li family, who had been lying motionless in bed like a living dead these days, suddenly frowned and tilted his head to the side while giving acupuncture.
"The young master has moved!"
A maid said excitedly.
Old Madam Li was also happy, but she still turned around and glared at the maid.
Seeing this, the maid quickly covered her mouth.
If she interfered with the female doctor giving acupuncture to the young master, she would be committing a serious sin.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang leaned over to Li Xiuqi and whispered softly, "I'm giving you acupuncture to heal you. Don't move."
Li Xiuqi must have heard it, because after Song Yuntang straightened his head, he really didn't move.
After the acupuncture was finished, Song Yuntang disinfected the silver needle again and put it back into his sleeve pocket.
After checking his pulse, she said, "Alright, buy the medicine later and boil a bowl of it. Feed it to him in small sips with a spoon. I'll come back tomorrow morning to check on him. If you have any questions, call me."
"Oh, I see." Madam Li made a gesture of invitation towards the outside. "The mansion has prepared a guest room for you. I have already instructed that no one will disturb you. The sun has already set, so you can rest in the mansion for the night. A servant will bring food to your room shortly."
Song Yuntang did not refuse. The young master of the Li family might encounter an emergency that night, so it would be appropriate for him to stay in the Li Mansion.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Li."
"You're welcome, Miss Song."
Led by her maid, Song Yuntang came to the guest room prepared for her in the Li Mansion. The room was very spacious and the bed was very large. There was no creaking sound when sitting on it. The sheets and quilts had been changed and exuded the fragrance of soapberries. Although there were no valuable ornaments, the house was much more luxurious than that of a farmer's house.
Suddenly she thought that if she could buy a yard in the county town, she would be able to live in a house like this in the future. After getting married, when Xu Qingye came to study, she would not have to rent a house.
But after counting the silver he had on him, he found it was a total of 462 taels. He still had to stock up on food and buy chickens and ducks. The yard in the county town was not cheap, so he might have to wait a while.
After a while, the servants from Li's mansion brought the food.
A roast chicken, a portion of bok choy, a bowl of minced meat and tofu soup, and a serving of egg custard.
For Song Yuntang, it was a very sumptuous dish.
She had never eaten such a sumptuous meal since she traveled through time.
The porridge she had at noon was not enough to satisfy her hunger, and she followed Lord Zhu to several places to do some work. It was already dark outside, and she was already hungry. After washing her hands again, she tore off a chicken leg and started to eat it.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill and the servants had taken her things away, she got up and left the house, taking a walk in the yard to help digest her food.
There was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Miss Song, are you resting?" It was Mrs. Li's voice.
Song Yuntang, who was walking in the courtyard, was stunned for a moment and quickly responded, "Madam Li, please come in."
Youshi entered the yard and winked at the maid behind her. Then she saw the maid carrying a box and presenting it to Song Yuntang.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Song won't despise it."
Song Yuntang reached out to take the box, opened it and took a look. It was a golden hairpin.
What a generous deal!
She closed the box again, with a calm expression on her face from beginning to end.
"It seems that Madam Li came here to see me for something?"
This gold hairpin is estimated to weigh two taels. One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. The gold hairpin in my hand is worth twenty taels of silver, which is not cheap.
Youshi smiled and pulled Song Yuntang to the courtyard to sit down.
"To be honest, Miss Song, I haven't been pregnant since I gave birth to Qi'er eleven years ago. My biggest wish in this life is to have both a son and a daughter. Miss Song is a skilled doctor, could you please give me some advice?"
"Of course you can. Please extend your hand, Madam Li."
Song Yuntang took Youshi's pulse.
"Mrs. Li's condition isn't serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for her. She should exercise more, eat less desserts and greasy food, and relax. She should recuperate for a while, and then prepare for pregnancy after her body has lost some weight. It should be fine."
Mrs. Li's face was full of joy.
"Thank you, Miss Song."
Song Yuntang smiled and prescribed a prescription for her. Then Madam Li left with her maid.
……
The next morning, after breakfast, Song Yuntang was taken to Young Master Li's courtyard by a maid.
There was the sound of a young boy talking in the house, but because he was still young, his voice was still childish.
The maid went into the house first.
"Madam, Master, Miss Song is here."
Li Xiuqi looked up and saw the girl stepping over the threshold. She was dressed simply and had no makeup on, but her delicate features were no less delicate than any girl he had seen before.
"It seems that the young master's illness has improved a lot."
Madam Li quickly stood up with a smile, "It's all thanks to Miss Song."
Song Yuntang stepped forward, leaned over and grabbed Li Xiuqi's wrist.
Li Xiuqi stared at her curiously. He was particularly surprised that the female doctor who had been praised to the sky by his mother just now was actually a young lady who was only in her teens!
"Sister, is my illness serious?"
