Chapter 188 Madam Xu visits
The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The first and fifteenth day of every month is a holiday, so Wei Ruo doesnt have to go to school today.
Wei Ruo intends to stay in Zhuangzi for a day today, and arrange all the things that should be arranged before the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, she may not have time.
Wei Ruo was about to go out, when someone came to the house, Mrs. Xu, the mother of Mr. Xu, who knew him well, asked to see Wei Ruo by name.
Yun's face was puzzled. These days, the second daughter Wanwan has been attending classes in Tong Zhifu, so the chance of seeing Mrs. Xu is obviously higher, and the eldest daughter Ruo'er has almost no intersection with the Xu family. Why does Mrs. Xu come to the door and ask to see her eldest daughter?
The Xu family is also a well-known family in Taizhou Prefecture. Although it is not as influential as the Yuan family, the influence of the entire family in the court is far greater than that of the Wei family.
Old Mrs. Xu is the older generation of the family, so it can be said that she is highly respected.
One of her elders came to visit suddenly, wanting to see a junior, this behavior really made Yun a little puzzled.
Mr. Yun asked Mrs. Xu curiously: "How did Mrs. Xu know my Ruoer?"
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "My old man has been suffering from coughing all the time. It is an old problem. He has taken a lot of medicine but it still doesn't help. This year it is colder than ever, and the cold wind blows into his throat. As soon as he blew it, he coughed badly."
Yun's face was puzzled, he didn't understand why Mrs. Xu talked about Mrs. Xu, and what did it have to do with their family?
Mrs. Xu continued to explain: "A few days ago I went to see the old lady of the third room of the Yuan family. She had recently caught a cold and coughed a lot. I saw a good baby at her place. It was the loquat that her precious granddaughters found for her. The ointment, after taking it for three days, I am completely healed, and I am full of breath when talking to me, my voice is clear, and my coughing is no longer frequent."
Mr. Yun didn't interrupt, and continued to listen patiently to Mrs. Xu's story.
Mrs. Xu mentioned the key point: "Later, my old sister asked her three granddaughters for me, and then I realized that they got good things from their classmates. The three of them got a total of three cans, two of which were given to my old sister, and one to the mother of Nine Girls."
Hearing this, Yun's thought about it.
Three girls from the Yuan family, who are about the same age as her two daughters, have been attending classes and studying with her eldest daughter Ruoer in Tianqin Garden recently. With Mrs. Xu's visit today.
After trying to figure out what was going on, Yun replied with a smile: "I'm not too sure about the loquat cream Mrs. Xu is talking about. I'm going to sleep today. If Ruo'er is at home, I'll get it Someone brought her here and asked her, if she still has some, I will ask her to give you another jar, old lady.
Seeing that Mrs. Yun ordered the maids around her to call for someone, Mrs. Xu didn't stop her.
After sending the maid down, Yun said to Mrs. Xu: "However, the loquat cream may not be able to help Mrs. Xu's illness. It is better to ask a doctor to see the treatment."
Yun Shi is still skeptical about Wei Ruo's loquat cream for treating cough. It may be a coincidence that the old lady of Yuan's family met a dead mouse.
If it doesn't work after taking it to the old man of the Xu family, Yun is afraid that the Xu family will be unhappy, so he put the ugly words first.
After the maid went out, Mrs. Xu explained again: "Actually, I have already got the loquat cream. The girl from the Yuan family helped me, a cheeky old woman, to ask for a jar. My old man has been taking it for a few days. The cough has improved a little, especially when he first took it, the old man felt his throat was clear and his nose was usually very comfortable.
"I see." Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xu said: "So I came here today. First, I want to ask Ling Ai about the loquat cream; second, I want to ask Ling Ai to buy some. My old man has a long-term illness. It's so easy, I think that one can is not enough to eat."
While speaking, Wei Ruo was brought over by Cuiping.
"This is Mrs. Xu." Yun said to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruochao bowed to Mrs. Xu: "I've seen Mrs. Xu."
"Hey, good boy, good boy." Mrs. Xu saw Wei Ruo with a smile all over her face.
After saying hello, Wei Ruo sat on the empty seat beside Yun after receiving instructions from Yun.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xu expressed her gratitude to Wei Ruo, "Wei girl, thanks to your loquat paste, my old man's voice has improved."
"The old lady doesn't need to be too polite. It's best if the old man takes it and it works." Wei Ruo replied.
"Well, but my old woman still has some questions I want to ask you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
"Don't hesitate to ask the old lady, I will tell you everything."
"It's like this. My old man has been sick for some years. After taking this loquat paste, he got better, but it must not be so fast. When my old man first took it, his throat felt very refreshing, and it got worse after a while. He So I couldn't help but drink more, I didn't dare to let him drink more, so I wanted to ask Miss Wei how much this loquat cream can drink at most in a day?"
"Although the dosage of loquat extract is not as strict as that of ordinary traditional Chinese medicine, it must not be drunk like tea. Take one spoonful each time and mix it with hot water. It should not exceed five spoonfuls a day." Wei Ruo replied.
Wearing that Mrs. Xu said: "I've made a note, I'll tell the old man when I get back, and set the rules for him."
Wei Ruo smiled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xu asked again: "My old man's illness has been going on for a long time, can drinking this loquat extract hope to completely improve?"
Wei Ruo replied: "It's really hard to say. Since it's a chronic disease, it must not be so fast to get rid of the root. Different people have different constitutions and different recovery. I dare not jump to conclusions. But the past few days have had some effect. , then you can try again, even if you can't recover, you should be able to relieve it a little more."
Wei Ruo has never even met Mr. Xu's people, let alone asked for his pulse, so he doesn't know the result.
"The girl of the Wei family is very right." Madam Xu agreed, and then said with emotion, "My old man is also old, and he wants to live to our age. Live more comfortably in the next few days. Poor my old man, who has been troubled by this stubborn disease, now finally has a solution. Even if the root cannot be cut off, it can make his daily life lighter and less uncomfortable. The old man is also satisfied."
Wei Ruo nodded to express his understanding.
As he spoke, Mrs. Xu looked at Wei Ruo with a look of embarrassment: "It's just that if this loquat cream is to be taken for a long time..."
