Chapter Nineteen Marvelous
"Great! Wonderful!"
Cheng Er Lao Ye worked day and night for several days to invite a doctor who praised him repeatedly.
Everyone is sick and almost died, what's good about it?
Is this doctor reliable?
Cheng Da Lao Ye looked at Cheng Er Lao Ye, Cheng Er Lao Ye felt a bit embarrassed.
"Liao Dafu, take a look at this, what's going on with my fourth son?" he said hastily.
This famous doctor from Zhejiang Province was invited with great difficulty, don't let it be a waste of effort without any reward or hard work.
"How is it?" Liao Dafu said, twirling his mustache, "It's all right."
Alright?
Is that all?
"Doctor, how did this happen?" Old Master Cheng asked urgently.
"You're such a person, isn't it better if you're not good?" Liao Daifu said with a glance at him.
What nonsense! This doctor's words are so arrogant!
Cheng Da Lao Ye frowned.
"Doctor, Si Lang was still unconscious yesterday and is seriously ill. Could it be a mistake?" asked Cheng Erlaoye hastily.
"It's wrong, but it has already been treated." Dr. Liao said.
The two old gentlemen of Cheng's family exchanged a glance.
"How was it cured?" they asked in unison.
Liao Dafu looked at them with a profound smile.
"Great!" he said, "That's wonderful!"
Inside the house, because she saw her son wake up and recover half of his illness, Madame Cheng was also somewhat confused after listening to her husband's words.
The doctor is still here, and Mr. Cheng is worried about his wife, so he hastily came in to give her a tranquilizer first.
"Are you scared?" she asked, "What's going on here?"
"That's what Liao Dafu said, 'Worrying and thinking too much can hurt one's spirit, the liver becomes stagnant and depressed, and the blood and energy become blocked.' It's just what ordinary people call lovesickness." Old Master Cheng said.
Madam Cheng's face was very unsightly.
What those doctors said before was all correct.
But what's wrong with getting a good illness, getting lovesick is really embarrassing.
"It's not that a heart disease needs heart medicine to cure, the Fourth Master hasn't seen the person he longs for and yet he's fine, how can you say it's lovesickness?" Madam Cheng argued.
Liao said, nostalgia is not necessarily for people, objects, birds, flowers, insects, and even landscapes can evoke nostalgia. Old Master Cheng said that only after saying these few words did he feel that Liao was indeed a great doctor.
Madam Cheng let out a breath of relief and felt somewhat delighted.
As long as the son is not guilty of that kind of thought, it's settled.
"But our son's illness is due to lovesickness." said Mr. Cheng.
Madam Cheng's face fell again.
"First, I drank a dose of medicinal soup that dispels wind and regulates qi. Then, suddenly shocked, my soul flew away, and my vital energy was restored. The stagnation dissipated, and my blood and qi flowed freely again, and I recovered!"
Liao Dafu smiled and said in the living room, "Wonderful, wonderful."
Cheng Erlaoye, who was sitting beside him, listened with a confused expression, but there was nothing he could do. Since they didn't share the same views, it was impossible for them to work together. He wasn't a doctor, so naturally, he couldn't understand what the doctors were saying.
"It was a medicinal soup for treating symptoms, which doctor prescribed it, hurry up and reward him." Mr. Cheng said to his servant.
The people below responded and were busy going out to ask.
"The medicine is excellent, but there's also someone else who deserves a big reward, that's the servant girl who thought of using a ghost mask to scare your son." Liao said, "If you just drink this medicine alone, it would be quite ordinary and ineffective, but with this catalyst, it's wonderful!"
He burst out laughing again at this point.
"How wonderful!" he exclaimed. "I never thought of it, that thinking gathers the spirit and surprise scatters the spirit, yet it can also be done in reverse, wonderful, wonderful!"
Cheng Er Lao Ye can be sure now, this Liao Daifu is indeed a divine doctor, really amazing!
Madam Cheng didn't feel at ease until she saw Cheng Si Lang slowly eat a few mouthfuls of ginseng chicken congee.
"Let mother worry." Cheng Si Lang said weakly.
Although people have not yet become weak, they are already somewhat spiritualized.
Madam Cheng wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and watched as the servant helped him lie down to rest before she walked out.
She indeed wanted to ask about the girl who made Si Lang infatuated, but she also knew it wasn't the time for that now, so let's settle other matters first.
In the main house of Da Fang's family, Chun Lan had been kneeling for half a day already.
"Speak." Madame Cheng sat down on her knees and said calmly.
"Madam, I was thinking that the fourth young master had collided with a guest, so I went to the lotus pond to pay my respects first. The fourth young master didn't show any signs of waking up, and then I thought of what the village women said, 'ghosts are afraid of evil people', so I wanted to scare the ghost away." Chunlan stammered and choked out, "I was wrong."
She said with a knock on her head.
The maids next to her showed complex expressions, it was really a good luck that the doctor's words had spread, saying that this time the fourth young master could recover, all thanks to the maid's credit for scaring the fourth young master.
It can be said that he is also a lifesaver of the Fourth Master. From that day on, she was no longer just a maid.
"You're innocent." Madame Cheng said, exhaling, "You have merit."
The spring orchid on the ground wailed and cried, but its crying voice couldn't hide its joy.
"This credit can't be taken by you alone." Madam Cheng looked at her and said calmly.
The spring orchid's body stiffened slightly as it fell to the ground, its heart racing wildly.
"Madam..." She nodded her head, "I dare not take credit, I am guilty."
"Well, let's just say it's a way of making up for past mistakes. So, who told you about this method?" said Madame Cheng.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house was stunned, and Chunlan's face turned pale.
"Madam?" she asked tremulously.
"Spring Orchid, to be honest, you're not even sure if Fourth Master will be okay, are you?" Madame Cheng said slowly, looking at Spring Orchid. "I think that if something really happens to Fourth Master, what you'll say is that the mask was accidentally dropped and scared him, right?"
The spring orchid shook its head nervously.
"Madam, madam, I don't have it, I dare not." She wept.
"Don't cry, Qiū Kuí," Madam Cheng suddenly shouted.
The maid Autumn Squash standing outside the house immediately responded and came in to kneel down.
"If it were you who scared Fourth Master at that time, what should you have done?" asked Madame Cheng.
"I was wrong, I frightened the young master." Akane said immediately, her expression flustered and her voice trembling, as if she had really committed this mistake.
"What did you do when this happened?" asked Madame Cheng Da.
Chun Lan's face turned pale, and the surrounding maidservants also came back to their senses, looking at Chun Lan who was kneeling.
"Old Master said that at the time, you were only kneeling and crying, but didn't say anything about yourself being wrong. You didn't even give an excuse for how the mask appeared in front of Fourth Brother," said Madame Cheng with a smile. "Little girl, it's because you wanted to wait and see before deciding what to say, right?"
Spring Orchid bit her lower lip and cried, lowering her head and not daring to look at Madame Cheng.
"Who told you to do this!" Madam Cheng shouted abruptly.
The sudden loud shout startled everyone.
Chun Lan let out a mournful cry and knelt down on the ground.
When Tong Jiaoniang's courtyard door was knocked open, Ban Qin had a look of surprise on her face.
"My dear, you're absolutely right!" she said, "The old master and mistress are indeed not easy to deceive!"
