Chapter 78 Sorry, I am ignorant
Xie Zhen glanced at Chai Jin, and there was a light in his eyes that he could not understand.
The Xie family sent medicine, and the Chai family was grateful. Xie Zhen was a female family member, so Chai Jin respectfully invited her into the house.
After entering the house, Xie Zhen discovered that Mrs. Chai's condition was far worse than what he had guessed outside.
Mrs. Chai was lying on the corner of the bed covered with a thin quilt and coughing lightly. Her face was pale and dull, and her lips were chapped. Food and water were nearby. There were other members of the Chai family, an old woman and three people. The young women were far away, and whenever Mrs. Chai coughed, two of them would look very impatient, but they would not dare to say anything.
There was a woman with a delicate face who looked at Mrs. Chai with some distress.
Beside Mrs. Chai, there was a lady in her thirties or forties serving her in an updo. Xie Zhen was invited in by Chai Jin. After taking a quick look at the people in the room, he basically had a good guess about the situation of the women in the Chai family. Nine is inseparable from ten.
Although after the exile, everyone lost the halo of being a noble family and all became criminals, but Chai Ji is the head of the family after all, and he was Dong Bohou before. Even if the whole family is convicted and exiled, Everyone had to rely on Chai Ji and Chai Jin, father and son, for survival. The Marquis spent generously along the way to prevent them from living as hard as the other poor people in the team.
So even if Mrs. Chai was ill and coughing for a long time, they had to swallow their breath and listen.
On this cold day, all the men of the Chai family spent the night outside, and the guards were outside the house. It was good that the women could hide in the house to keep warm.
"Mother, thanks to Miss Xie's kindness, she sent you the medicine to cure the disease."
Chai Jin took the medicine given by Xie Zhen and came to Mrs. Chai.
Mrs. Chai just heard the voices outside, and she also knew that there seemed to be three families in this yard, but in fact it was mainly the Chai and Xie families. She was in poor health and was dragging down her husband and son along the way. Mrs. Chai The body and mind are blocked and depressed.
After hearing the Xie family's kindness, Mrs. Chai was grateful, but she didn't dare to expect too much.
Seeing Xie Zhen coming in front of her, Mrs. Chai moved, and the lady next to her hurriedly supported her, "Madam, be careful."
Mrs. Chai stood up and straightened her body gently. Although her hair and appearance are a little poor now, her good upbringing really prevents her from being slow to treat guests.
Chai Jin sighed inwardly.
Seeing his mother like this, sometimes he would think that he might as well go to the consort.
I dare not mention this. If I mention his father, Dong Bohou, I can beat him to death!
Is Princess Zhaoyang easy to get along with? That woman can make people die without descendants alive.
"Thank you, Miss, for thinking about me. My illness has caused trouble to your Xie family."
She often coughs, and naturally knows that she can easily affect the rest of others at night.
Xie Zhen said: "Mrs. Chai is worrying too much. If you are not feeling well, don't worry about other things, so as not to be emotionally depressed and your condition will become worse."
It means that if you feel uncomfortable, take care of yourself first. , Don’t worry about others.
These words are very heart-warming. Mrs. Chai’s eyes looking at Xie Zhen are as gentle as water.
In the past, she would have pulled Xie Zhen to sit close and have a chat, but now that she is sick, she cannot let him get too close.
Xie Zhen would not make others feel uncomfortable, so he chose a suitable position to stand.
Chai Jin asked the lady to bring water, followed Xie Zhen's instructions, opened the paper bag, took out two capsules and put them in the palm of his mother's hand.
The expression on Mrs. Chai's face was stunned for a moment. She thought she had seen it wrong. She raised her head to look at her son, and then moved her eyes to Xie Zhen's face. There was a look of confusion in her eyes that Xie Zhen expected.
I don’t know how to describe it, but Xie Zhen felt a vague sense of pride in her heart. Although the feeling did not make people lose their modesty, it was the first time she saw someone else’s face show a look of surprise. You will feel happy unconsciously.
She is not the only one who will lose her composure when seeing this magical medicine.
Everyone is the same!
Mrs. Chai has been rich for half her life, but she has never seen this kind of medicine. It is a small pill, white and blue. Can this... really cure her cough?
The lady beside her couldn't hide her surprise. She glanced at Xie Zhen for a moment, her eyes showing the same confusion as Mrs. Chai: Can such a small pill really cure diseases?
But the surprise on the lady's face quickly dissipated. After all, she has been a servant for a long time and has a lot of knowledge. No matter how effective the medicine in Mrs. Chai's hand is, this medicine is for the Xie family If it was delivered openly, it must be good.
My master showed kindness to the Xie family, so they were willing to send this good medicine. The lady turned around and poured half a bowl of warm water over.
Chai Jin took over and stared at Mrs. Chai taking medicine.
Xie Zhen looked at Mrs. Chai and said, "This medicine does not need to be boiled. It can be taken directly with warm water." After thinking for a while, he added, "It is convenient on the road."
Mrs. Chai heard this He said, his eyes suddenly enlightened, and he smiled gently and said: "I never thought that pills could be made into something like this. It's just that I am ignorant."
After saying that, without doubting his presence, he took the medicine with warm water and expressed his gratitude to Xie Zhen again.
Seeing this, Xie Zhen said a few words of relief and then withdrew.
She was not familiar with Mrs. Dong Bohou, so she came to deliver the medicine according to the wishes of her sixth brother Xie Yuchuan. Others were sick in the room and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so it was better to leave early.
After going out, I briefly explained to Xie Yuchuan, who nodded lightly.
"You and I don't know how effective the medicine is. Let's see what happens to Mrs. Chai later."
Xie Zhen is very confident, "The medicine given by the family god must be a panacea."
Xie Yuchuan turned to look at his second sister, and the smile in Xie Zhen's eyes deepened.
After leaving the banker, she seemed to have become the sassy person he remembered.
After Xie Zhen left.
Mrs. Chai stopped her son Chai Jin.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Chai looked at the door, her eyes moved to her son's face, and asked, "Have you and your father talked with the Xie family?"
Chai Jin shook his head.
"Then why did the Xie family suddenly send medicine, and the Xie family's medicine is so good." Mrs. Chai didn't even realize how she took the medicine just now.
When she passed by the capital before, the Marquis had already prepared soup and medicine for her. Whenever he had some free time along the way, he would find an opportunity to ask the servants for help, cook and prepare it. She would drink three large bowls of it every day, and she would be all over her body. They all have a strong medicinal smell.
Not to mention that others avoid her, even she herself is disgusted with herself.
Why does Xie’s medicine have no strong smell at all, and does it not need to be boiled with firewood in a cupping pot?
It’s such a small pill that you can’t take it with you wherever you go. It’s a must-have medicine when you go out!
Mrs. Chai did not doubt the authenticity of the medicine, but marveled at the magic of the medicine. As for the efficacy, Mrs. Chai did not care so much. After all, the Xie family was the former Duke's palace, and the Xie family could be brought on the road to exile. Her home medicine must be a life-saving medicine in times of crisis. Now that she is willing to give her some, I am very grateful.
Chai Jin actually didn’t expect the Xie family to send medicine.
He and his father Chai Ji were still observing whether the Xie family had the ability to "connect with the gods" when the second girl from the Xie family arrived.
