Song Yu did not dare to leave Madame Tai's side for a single step. He really couldn't hold on any longer, he nodded off and almost fell onto the armrest of his chair.
Madam Sun had her maid set up a long couch in front of Mrs. Song's bed in the inner chamber.
Song Yu curled up and fell asleep for half a while.
He suddenly woke up again and asked Sun Mama and Yuanyu, who were also in the inner room, "How is the old lady?"
"She's still sleeping..." Sun Mama said in a low voice, with an irrepressible joy in her tone.
Sun's mother served the madam, she was most clear: since falling ill, the madam hadn't had a good night's sleep.
Sleeping so soundly must be a sign of recovery.
Song Yu's face also showed a few points of expectation.
The lady slept until noon, she had a good sleep for more than four hours!
As soon as she opened her eyes, Mrs. Song felt the heavy weight that had been pressing on her head for a long time suddenly disappear, and her mind became clear and refreshed. Overjoyed in her heart, her stomach started growling with hunger, feeling a bit empty.
She suddenly wanted to eat crab roe bun and sat up.
She moved and startled Song Yu, Sun's mother, and four big servant girls.
Everyone gathered in front of the bed and asked her how she was doing.
Mrs. Song laughed: "So hungry......"
Mrs. Sun suddenly covered her mouth and cried, tears streaming down her face. Since falling ill, the mistress had not been eating properly, and it was always Mrs. Sun who persuaded her to eat, no matter what.
So actively saying I'm hungry, it's really the first time.
Is the illness all better now? Sun's mother was overjoyed and burst into tears.
Several maids also followed with moist eyes.
Song Yu's eyes were also dim.
Seeing them like this, Mrs. Song was also moved. She said: "Quickly go and get me some food! I'm fine, what are you all doing?"
"Ah!" Mother Sun happily responded, wanting to personally go to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Song Yu stopped her.
"Drink some water first, don't rush to eat. I'll go invite your uncle over and ask if there's anything you shouldn't be eating. You've been ill for so long, it's better to be careful with everything." said Song Yu.
Sun's mother stopped in her tracks.
Mrs. Song thought of the days when she was ill and had a splitting headache, feeling like she was going to die, and her heart felt a chill.
"Go and invite your uncle quickly!" said Mrs. Song, then added, "You go yourself!"
Song Yu didn't even change his clothes, his hair was slightly disheveled, and he didn't bother to comb it, he just went straight out the door.
Mrs. Sun handed a cup of warm water for Mrs. Song to drink.
A glass of water was drunk, and then Song Daitai was helped to lie down again.
Mrs. Song also didn't force it and lay down with the momentum.
Her mother asked her repeatedly how she felt.
"My head feels lighter, my body feels lighter too, and my heart is no longer restless." Mrs. Song smiled and said, "I've been ill for so long, I know best! The medicine that Sister Jin gave me really works!"
Then she showed a few points of remorse, "That day, Jin sister's prescription, you asked me to go and grab the medicine to eat, I said what coaxing children play! It was all my own fault, suffering so much! When I get better, I want to personally go apologize to Sister Jin!"
Madam Sun smiled and gently tucked in the corner of her quilt, saying: "Why must you blame yourself, Eldest Mistress? Miss Bao is only twelve years old, whoever would have thought that she could remember all the medicines. Are they easy to take randomly? Who dares to entrust their life to such a small child? You are her elder maternal aunt, if you apologize, how can Miss Bao bear it? Besides, you usually dote on her..."
Mrs. Song slowly let out a breath: "It wasn't wasted on her!"
As she spoke, she became even hungrier.
Son's mother was overjoyed, this is absolutely a good thing!
***********
On the other side, Song Yu's carriage hastened along Ma Yuan Lane and stopped at the entrance of the Gu residence.
He didn't wait for the little servant at the gate to report, and hastily went to his sister's courtyard.
Song Paner is checking accounts.
She felt a chill in her heart when she saw her brother's hair disheveled and his clothes wrinkled.
Big brother going out like this without regard for appearances, could it be that big sister is in a hurry?
Song Pan'er's palm felt a chill, and she hastily went forward to meet him.
Song Yu took a deep breath and finally revealed a smile: "Your sister-in-law is fine, she's just about to eat! I think I'll ask the old master to take another look, how's the situation?"
Song Pan'er just realized she had misunderstood. She was overjoyed and hastily asked: "Is it because of the prescription given by the old master?"
"No way!" Song Yu said, "Your sister-in-law has been ill for so long, I don't know what she can or cannot eat. She's starving now, I'll ask the old master first before letting her have a meal."
Song Pan'er had Song Mama put away the account book and took her big brother to Old Master's courtyard.
The old man is teaching Gu Jinzhi to read.
I have finished studying "Confucius" and am now studying "Mencius".
Gu Jin's reading comprehension and learning ability were strong, he learned quickly, the old man felt a sense of accomplishment in teaching him, his mood was good, and his facial expression became gentle.
Now talking about Mencius meeting King Hui of Liang.
Seeing Song Yu and Song Pan'er coming together, the old man knew what had happened.
Song Yu quickly stepped forward and paid his respects, then told Old Master Gu that Madam Song had recovered a lot: "......I venture to invite you to take another look."
Mr. Gu lightly flipped through the book on the desk, his tone neither warm nor cold: "It was originally Miss Jin who looked at it, and Fangzi also opened it for her. I just went to say a few words that Miss Jin had said before. However, what I read the other day said that after taking the medicine, she should be fine by yesterday, so why did you only come to ask today?"
Song Yu was suddenly speechless.
Since you don't believe others, why ask for their help now?
He usually speaks well, but at this moment he doesn't know what to say.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to bother. Aunt had a poor appetite before and didn't eat much, so let's start with some rice porridge to help her digest. According to the prescription, taking three to five more doses will be fine. It wasn't a serious illness to begin with, just a minor ailment, and the previous doctors might have misdiagnosed it. There's no need to trouble Grandfather to take another look."
Song Yu's eyes lit up.
He took another look at Old Man Gu.
Mr. Gu was intentionally making things difficult for Song Yu with a few words. However, seeing his young granddaughter, he felt a kind of calm tolerance and suppressed the idea, saying: "Let's do it as Sister Jin said!"
Song Yu repeatedly bowed and thanked him, then hastily returned home.
He didn't even have time to sigh, his mind was all about Mrs. Dai's illness.
Song Pan'er was anxious and wanted to know how her elder sister-in-law was doing, so she followed along.
Mrs. Song was hungry and her stomach was growling, she drank another bowl of well-cooked medicine and waited for dinner.
The kitchen has already prepared some yam cakes and rice porridge.
Seeing Song Yu and Song Pan'er come in, Mrs. Song asked in confusion: "Where is Uncle?"
Song Yu repeated what Gu Jin had said.
Mrs. Song no longer dared to doubt Gu Jin. She was very hungry and told the maid to bring her some rice porridge.
She ate two pieces of yam cake and drank a bowl of rice porridge, but she still felt unsatisfied when she put down her chopsticks. She didn't dare to eat more, fearing that it would accumulate in her heart and make her sick again.
After eating, she felt somewhat tired and took another nap.
Song Pan'er looked at her complexion, which had already recovered somewhat, and her eyes seemed to have spirit. That vitality was visible to the naked eye.
The illness is probably really cured!
Song Pan'er raised an eyebrow: If you had taken Sister Jin's prescription earlier, wouldn't the illness have been cured by now?
When Mrs. Song was ill, Song Pan'er sympathized with her and didn't argue with her. But when Mrs. Song recovered, the anger that Song Pan'er had previously suppressed came back again.
She insisted on getting an explanation!
She thought, in two days when Mrs. Song has fully recovered, she would come again to provoke her a few more times and make her feel inferior!
Thinking of these things, Song Pan'er happily returned home.
