Chapter 188 Mrs. Xu came to visit on
the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The first and fifteenth day of every month are holidays, so Wei Ruo doesn't have to go to school today.
Wei Ruo planned to stay at Zhuangzi today to arrange all the things that should be arranged before the New Year. After the New Year, she might not have time.
Wei Ruo was about to go out when someone came to the house. It was Mrs. Xu, the mother of Tongzhi Master Xu, who wanted to see Wei Ruo by name.
Mrs. Yun looked puzzled. These days, the second daughter Wanwan has been attending classes with the prefect, and the chance of meeting Mrs. Xu is obviously higher. However, the eldest daughter Ruoer has almost no interaction with the Xu family. Why does Mrs. Xu ask her name when she comes to visit? Eldest daughter?
The Xu family is also a well-known and prominent family in Taizhou Prefecture. Although it is not as far-reaching and influential as the Yuan family, the entire family's influence in the court is far greater than that of the Wei family.
Mrs. Xu is also an older member of the family and can be said to be highly respected.
An elder of hers suddenly came to visit and wanted to see a junior. This move really made Yunshi a little confused.
Mrs. Yun curiously asked Mrs. Xu: "How did Mrs. Xu know my Ruo'er?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "My old man has always had a cough. It is an old problem. He has always had a cough after taking a lot of medicine. It's not good, this day this year has been colder than ever before, and when the cold wind blew into his throat, he coughed violently." Mrs. Yun looked puzzled and didn't understand why
Mrs. Xu talked about Mrs. Xu. Come on, what does this have to do with their family?
Mrs. Xu continued to explain: "A few days ago, I went to see the old lady in the third room of the Yuan family. She had been infected with cold recently and kept coughing. I saw a wonderful baby at her place. It was the loquat that her precious granddaughters had found for her. After taking the ointment for three days, I feel completely better. When I talk to me, I feel full of energy, my voice is clear, and my coughing is no longer frequent." Mrs. Yun did not
interrupt and continued to listen patiently to Mrs. Xu's story.
Mrs. Xu came to the key point: "Later, my old sister helped me ask her three granddaughters, and I found out that they got the good things from their classmates. They were cured by their classmates and given to them by their friends. The three of them got three cans in total, two of which were given to my old sister, and one was given to Miss Jiu's mother." After hearing
this, Yunshi thought about it.
Three girls from the Yuan family, who are similar in age to her two daughters, recently attended classes and studied with her eldest daughter Ruo'er in Tianqin Garden. The person who presented loquat ointment was probably her eldest daughter Ruo'er, so she With Mrs. Xu's visit today.
After trying to figure out what was going on, Mrs. Yun smiled and replied: "I don't know much about the loquat ointment that Mrs. Xu mentioned. I'm having a rest today, and Ruo'er is at home. I'll go get it." Bring her over and ask her, if she still has it, I'll ask her to give you another jar, Madam."
Seeing Yun tell the maid next to her to call someone, Madam Xu did not stop her.
After sending the maid down, Mrs. Yun said to Mrs. Xu: "But that loquat ointment may not be able to help Mrs. Xu's illness. It would be better to ask a doctor to treat the disease." Mrs. Yun said to Wei
Ruo I am still skeptical about the use of loquat ointment to treat coughs. The old lady from the third bedroom of the Yuan family may have just happened to be a blind cat and a dead mouse.
If it had no effect after being given to the old man of the Xu family, Yun was afraid that the Xu family would be unhappy, so she told the ugly story first.
After the maid went out, Mrs. Xu explained: "Actually, I have already got the loquat ointment. The Yuan family girl helped me, a shameless old woman, to beg for a jar. My old man has been taking it for a few days. The cough symptoms have improved slightly, especially when he first took it, the old man felt his throat was refreshed and his breath was usually very comfortable." "
That's it." Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Xu said: "So I came here today. Firstly, I want to ask my grandma about the loquat ointment. Secondly, I want to ask my grandma to buy some more. My old man has been suffering from a chronic disease for many years. I don't think I can get rid of it." It's so easy, I think that one jar shouldn't be enough to eat."
As he spoke, Wei Ruo was brought over by Cuiping.
"This is Mrs. Xu." Yun said to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo saluted Mrs. Xu: "I've met the old lady."
"Hey, good boy, good boy." Mrs. Xu saw the smile on Wei Ruo's face.
After saying hello, Wei Ruo received Yun's instructions and sat in an empty seat beside him.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xu expressed her gratitude to Wei Ruo, "Girl of the Wei family, thanks to your loquat ointment, my old man's voice has improved a little." "Old lady, you don't have to be polite. It's best if the old man takes it and it works.
" Yes." Wei Ruo replied.
"Yes, but I, the old lady, still have some questions to ask you. Is it convenient for you?" "
Old lady, feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"That's it, my old man has been suffering from this disease for some years. I'm sorry. This loquat ointment made some improvements, but certainly not so fast. My old man's throat felt very refreshing when he first took it. After a while, it got worse, so he couldn't help but drink more. I didn't dare to let him drink more. I just want to ask Ms. Wei how much of this loquat paste can be drunk in a day?" "
Although the dosage of loquat paste is not as strict as that of ordinary traditional Chinese medicine, it must not be drunk like tea or water. Take a spoonful at a time and mix it with hot water. , no more than five spoons a day." Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu said, "I've made a note of it. I'll tell the old man when I get back and make rules for him."
Wei Ruo smiled lightly.
Then Mrs. Xu asked again: "My old man has been suffering from this disease for a long time. Is there any hope of getting better after drinking this loquat ointment?"
Wei Ruo replied: "It's really hard to say. Since it is a stubborn disease, it must be eradicated. It’s not that fast, and different people’s bodies are different and their recovery is different, so I dare not draw any conclusions. However, I have seen some effects after taking it in the past few days, so I can keep trying. Even if I don’t get cured, I should be able to feel better. "
Wei Ruo has never even met Mr. Xu, let alone checked his pulse, so he doesn't know the result.
"What the girl from the Wei family said is absolutely true." Mrs. Xu agreed, and then said with emotion, "My old man is getting older. People who live to our age have nothing else to do but think about the rest of their lives." I can live a more comfortable life in the next few days. My poor old man has been troubled by this stubborn disease. Now he finally has a way to alleviate it. Even if it can't cut off the root, it can make his daily life lighter and less uncomfortable. I and I The old man is also satisfied."
Wei Ruo nodded to express understanding.
As she spoke, Mrs. Xu looked at Wei Ruo with a troubled expression: "It's just that if this loquat ointment needs to be taken for a long time..."
