Chapter 215 - 215 Fatherly Love



“Two taels,” the peddler said.

“So expensive?” Su Cheng said. “You’re not ripping me off, did you?”

In the countryside, a headband was only three or four copper coins!

!!

The vendor explained, “These are real pearls. One costs more than a hundred copper coins!”

Su Cheng had never worn clothes worth more than a hundred copper coins.

He took out his money bag and counted a few scattered pieces of silver. He gritted his teeth and bought them.

At the Marquis of Northern Zhen’s Estate, Su Xiaoxiao ended the treatment for the day.

Physician Fu was sweating. He was not tired, but frightened.

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao stick something unknown into the Old Marquis’s nose, he was shocked.

Later on, she inserted needles into the Old Marquis. Those acupoints were so dangerous that he usually did not dare to touch them.

He had to have a strong heart to make house calls with this girl.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door. “You can come in now.”

Su Mo took a deep breath. As he entered the house, he suppressed his nervousness and asked, “How’s my grandfather?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The poison is almost cured, but he’s not completely out of danger.”

Su Mo’s expression was solemn. “What poison is it…”

“I’m not sure,” Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

Su Mo responded, “How did you cure him if you’re not sure?”

He glanced at his grandfather on the bed.

He was not a physician, and he could tell that his grandfather’s expression was not so bad anymore. His breathing was much smoother, and he did not seem to be in so much pain. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

“What did you put in my grandfather’s nose?”

“Nasal feeding tube. It’s for the medicine.”

Su Mo looked suspicious.

He glanced at the small medicine box on the table again. There were no bottles and jars that doctors often filled, but some… things that he could not name at all.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the small medicine box quietly.

Su Mo retracted his gaze. “Since the poison has been cured, why hasn’t my grandfather woken up?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The poison has been cured, but the patient is still sick.”

“You are the one who’s…”

Su Mo took a deep breath. Forget it, his grandfather was indeed sick…

No, why did these words sound so wrong?

“Your grandfather has a heart disease.” Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to use words that Su Mo could understand.

Su Mo was slightly puzzled. “Isn’t it a cold and spleen and stomach disorder?”

This was what the Imperial Physician had diagnosed when his grandfather vomited.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “The patient’s early symptoms are indeed easily misdiagnosed as cold and spleen and stomach dysfunction.”

Su Mo continued, “But it did improve after taking the medicine…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked unhurriedly, “His diet was especially light during the few days he took the medicine, right?”

Su Mo looked at the servant at the door.

The servant entered the house and said, “Yes.”

“That’s right,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You have to be strict with your diet when consuming Chinese medicine. The patient’s illness is also related to his diet. If his diet is light, his body will feel better. However, the patient only improved a little and hasn’t been completely cured, right?”

The servant stammered, “Ah, right.”

Su Mo looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. If not for the fact that she had no contact with the Marquis Mansion, he would have suspected that she had understood his grandfather’s condition in advance.

“You learned well from Doctor Fu.”

She spoke logically and did not look like a disciple who had yet to graduate.

Physician Fu coughed.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression did not change. “Oh, we make do. Remember to circulate more air in the house. Don’t close the doors and windows so tightly. It’s not good for the patient’s condition.”

Su Mo subconsciously frowned. She kept calling him a patient and was completely drawing a line with the Marquis Mansion.

If he had some doubts at first, at this moment, he really felt that the little girl’s reason for coming to the capital had nothing to do with acknowledging her family.

The Old Marquis was not out of danger. Physician Fu stayed to take care of him while Su Xiaoxiao went back first.

Su Mo had no objections.

If Su Xiaoxiao, his disciple, stayed, he would probably be concerned.

After leaving the Marquis Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao took the Marquis Mansion’s carriage back to Pear Blossom Lane.

The three little ones were already waiting at the door. As soon as Su Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage, the three of them pounced into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.

...

They had been stuck together every day and were no longer used to being separated from Su Xiaoxiao.

The three of them felt wronged and buried their faces in her arms, unwilling to get up.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the heads of the three of them in amusement. “Are you so aggrieved?”

The three of them nodded.

Actually, they were so aggrieved not only because they could not see their mother when they woke up…

Xiaohu waved his hand and complained, “Grandpa bought candy residue. It’s not delicious!”

He didn’t remember being pushed to the ground, but he remembered that the candied hawthorn wasn’t delicious.

Erhu also said, “My teeth are sore.”

Dahu did not say anything. He secretly brought sugar and ate the candy with it. It was not sour.

Father Su walked over. “Isn’t this for your own good? Children can’t eat too much sugar.”

Erhu complained, “But you can’t buy only hawthorn.”

...

Father Su cleared his throat. “Ahem, you still know about that?”

“Granny Du has it.” Erhu had seen it at Granny Du’s.

Hawthorn was cheap. One could buy a few for two copper coins. The expensive thing was sugar.

After being exposed, Father Su still said confidently, “Children can’t eat candy!”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t undermine her father and said to the three little ones, “Grandpa is right. You really should eat less candy. Otherwise, Dahu and Erhu will have bad teeth like Xiaohu.”

The three of them covered their mouths at the mention of bad teeth.

Father Su went to the nearby market to buy the ingredients. Although Father Su looked unreasonable all day, the things he bought were of good quality and cheap.

Su Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that it was due to his looks that…

During this period, Zhong Shan came once and transported charcoal and firewood over.

He had wanted to clean up the courtyard, but he realized that it was very clean.

Zhong Shan was stunned for a moment. It was unknown if he was thinking about something or looking at someone.

When Su Xiaoxiao came out after making a pancake, he had already left silently.

Dinner was onion pancakes and soup, a bowl of steamed eggs, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

The prices in the capital were too high, so Father Su did not buy meat.

The three little fellows were very sensible and did not argue about eating meat.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Dad, you don’t have to save it.”

Su Cheng said nonchalantly, “Sigh, aren’t you on a diet? If we have a room full of people eating meat, how uncomfortable would it be for you to just watch? Besides, it’s fine if you eat a meal without meat.”

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Su Cheng brought something in.

“Here.” He handed the thing in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao.

“What?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Cheng had wrapped the item with a handkerchief himself. The things at the stall were not wrapped so well.

Su Xiaoxiao wiped her hands dry and took it. When she opened the handkerchief, she realized that it was a red beaded headband. The beads were white and echoed the red color of the headband. The color was very bright.

“It’s not cheap, is it?”

These were real pearls.

“It’s not expensive. Just two taels,” Father Su said.

Wasn’t two taels expensive? He was someone who wouldn’t even spare five copper coins.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t bear to eat meat, but he was willing to spend two taels of silver to buy her a headband.

This father had always been very good to her.
