To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 16 Hit the Streets

  Luo Sheng frowned.

  The lake water in early spring was still cold, and Luo Chen was weak, so she was worried about this.

  The child had a fever as expected.

  Luo Sheng closed his eyes, and the faces of many doctors flashed in his mind.

  Her mother is not in good health, and doctors from the palace come and go. She knows best the serious consequences of a cold.

   If you make a bad mess, you will die.

   Thinking of the young man who said something wrong, Luo Sheng's heart ached.

  This matter happened because of her, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

   "Go and have a look." Luo Sheng got up and walked outside.

  Red Dou poured another cup of tea and hurriedly followed.

  Luo Chen already had quite a few people there.

  The eldest wife was asking the doctor about the situation, when she saw Luo Sheng coming in she smiled and said, "My cousin is here."

   "Auntie, how is my brother?"

  The eldest wife endured her worries and said in relief: "It's just a cold, and it will be fine if you take care of it."

   If the cousin girl doesn’t come to make trouble, she will be Amitabha. Knowing too much is useless.

   "Are you all right?" Luo Sheng didn't ask the eldest wife, but stared at the doctor with a white beard.

  The old doctor had heard the vicious name of the cousin girl of the Sheng family for a long time, so he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and said a few words in the words of the eldest wife.

  Luo Sheng frowned: "The doctor said it's all right, so I'll believe it."

  The coldness in the words is not concealed.

  The old doctor's scalp went numb, and he hurriedly remedied: "The illness still varies from person to person—"

  Luo Sheng said lightly: "Then ask the doctor to explain the condition of my younger brother."

  The old doctor thought to himself that the little girl was difficult to deal with, and said after deliberation: "Young master is weak, even if the fever is reduced, there is a risk of lung disease. But for now, the main thing is to dispel wind and cold, and then carefully take care of the body..."

  The more Luo Sheng listened, the more he frowned.

   Even if it is a wealthy family or even a high-ranking official, it is not uncommon to lose their lives due to a cold. Is it because they hired quack doctors? Obviously not.

   In fact, there is a set of mature methods for treating wind and cold, but what often makes doctors helpless is the complications caused by individual differences between patients.

  Luo Sheng only has a superficial understanding of medical skills, but he also knows that Luo Chen's danger is that his bones are too weak, and he has little resistance to the wind-cold disease entering the body.

   "Thank you doctor for telling me. Auntie, I want to go in and see my brother."

  The eldest lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and reminded: "Chen'er is still asleep."

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly, left the red beans outside, and walked lightly into the inner room.

  The smell of medicine in the inner room was stronger than yesterday, and the servant named Fusong sat on the low stool beside the bed, looking at the sleepy Luo Chen with tears in his eyes.

  Fu Song turned his head when he heard the movement, almost fell off the low stool, and blurted out: "Cousin girl is here!"

  Yesterday, the son told him to beat the girl with a broom when his cousin came, so should he do it or not?

   While hesitating, Luo Sheng had already stepped forward and put his hand on Luo Chen's forehead.

  The scalding heat burned her fingertips.

   "Get a basin of cold water."

  Ming Mingming's tone was cold, but in Fusong's ears there was an irresistible force.

  The little boy came back from fetching water, saw Luo Sheng wrung a towel and put it on Luo Chen's forehead, silently let go of his entanglement.

   They have already accepted the command of the cousin girl, so it would be a bit inappropriate to drive people out.

  Luo Chen seemed to sense the coolness on his forehead, and twitched his eyelashes.

  His hand was held by a cool hand, and a gentle but firm voice said in his ear: "Don't worry, I will make you better."

  This voice was unfamiliar yet familiar, and it took a long time for Luo Chen, who was half awake, to realize: This is Luo Sheng!

  The boy who was peacefully and drowsy suddenly became anxious.

  Is Luo Sheng going to make trouble again? No, he has to get up quickly!

   While the boy was fighting against sleepiness, Luo Sheng had quietly left.

   "Hongdou, take a thousand taels of silver and go to the street with me." Luo Sheng ordered after returning to his room.

  Red Dou's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said yes crisply, and went to get the money.

  The girl is still the same girl, the familiar feeling is back!

  The little maid tucked the banknotes into her sleeves, followed Luo Sheng with her chest up and left the Sheng Mansion. She didn't forget to spit when she passed by the woman guarding the second gate.

  The eyes of the eldest lady who received the news were darkened, and a thought twirled wildly in her mind: Biao girl went-shopping-street again!

  The eldest wife has lingering fears about the consequences of her cousin's shopping in the past.

  Sheng Jiayu hurriedly supported the old mother who was about to faint: "Mother, don't worry, I'll follow and have a look!"

   Sheng Jiayu ran out without waiting for the eldest wife to stop her.

  The master and servant Luo Sheng walked unhurriedly in front, and Sheng Jiayu followed behind with her lips pursed. When Hongdou unconsciously turned her head, she hurriedly hid behind a tree, her heart beating wildly.

   Slowed down, Sheng Jiayu followed again.

  Unexpectedly, Luo Sheng did not stop in the crowded street, but entered a pharmacy.

  Sheng Jiayu hid in the corner for a long time before seeing Luo Sheng coming out of the pharmacy.

  What is Luo Sheng doing in the medicine shop?

  Sheng Jiayu took a serious look at the signboard with "Jishitang" hanging on it, thinking she misunderstood the word.

  There is also Hongdou who has the same doubts.

  The little maid held her empty purse and said, "Girl, the money is almost spent."

  She doesn't even know what kind of medicine it is, it's so expensive!

  It doesn't matter if it's expensive, but how can you have fun if you don't have money?

  Luo Sheng nodded lightly: "Go back."

   She was really relieved to be able to buy that medicinal material in such a small town.

  She has no medical skills, but she has a few prescriptions firmly in her mind.

   Those are some pills that the father took great effort to invite Li Fanghai, a genius doctor in the world, to prepare for his mother. One of them is called Yangyuan Dan, which can restore the bones of the body, and the other is called Tuihan Pill, which has a miraculous effect on treating wind and cold.

  Yangyuan Pill and Tuihan Pill have excellent medicinal effects, but if I have to say a disadvantage, it is expensive.

  The one thousand taels of silver note she brought was only enough to buy the medicinal materials needed for the Tuihan Pill. As for the blind medicine needed for the Yangyuan Pill, she had to prepare it from another place, and only paid a deposit.

  The moment Luo Sheng asked about the price of medicinal materials, he deeply realized the changes brought about by twelve years.

  Twelve years ago, 1,000 taels of silver bills were enough to complete the two medicines.

   "Girl, why are you buying these herbs?" Hong Dou patted the little bag.

   "I need to prepare a medicine."

  Hongdou stared wide-eyed: "Do you still know how to make medicine?"

  Luo Sheng shook his head confidently: "Of course not, there isn't that white-bearded doctor in the house."

   "Ah, yes, the girl is still smart." Hong Dou flattered her without any doubts.

  Luo Sheng paused, turned his head and asked, "How long will my cousin be with you?"

   An embarrassed girl in yellow clothes slowly walked out from behind the maple tree. It was Sheng Jiayu.

  Hong Dou couldn't help but widen his eyes: "My cousin is following us?"

  Sheng Jiayu blushed, and said in a concealed way: "It was just a coincidence that I met when I went out."

  Hongdou curled her lips: "Don't quibble, you are obviously following our girl. Tsk tsk, if you want to go to the street with our girl, just say so, maybe our girl will agree as soon as she is in a good mood."

  Girls now lack a lot of waiters, and the streets are not so lively, and it is okay to barely accept the big cousin girl.

  The little maid looked at Sheng Jiayu with critical eyes.

  Thank you for your rewards and votes. Yesterday, many readers mentioned the title problem, here is an explanation. Because the boy belongs to the Sheng family, when Luo Sheng is mentioned, he will say Miss Biao. And because the Sheng family didn't treat Luo Chen as an outsider, Xiaosi had served Luo Chen for many years, so he called him son directly. In the end, it was the Sheng family who had a different relationship with the Luo Sheng siblings, which was reflected in their titles.
