The young master of the Zhou family was ill, and it was very serious. He was lying on the bed. There were four charcoal stoves in the room, and he was covered with a soft and thick quilt. However, he was still shivering from the cold.

Zhou Wenqiu felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar, even his bones were frozen hard and brittle, and would crackle and shatter if he moved a little.With each breath, some heat is taken away from the body until the body is completely cold.

"Young Master, drink your medicine."

Mei Xiang came in with a medicine bowl and called out softly. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, which made her feel a little uncomfortable when she first came in.

"Don't drink, it won't get better after drinking so much, those quack doctors—"

Zhou Wenqiu cursed weakly, now he feels like vomiting just by smelling the medicine.

Who would have thought that a person who was alive and well a few months ago would become so sick all of a sudden?

"But the old lady said—"

Mei Xiang's words were already crying, and the old lady confessed that the young master had to drink the medicine no matter what, otherwise she would be beaten again.

"roll!"

Zhou Wenqiu closed his eyes irritably, if he could move, he would definitely give this winkless girl a good beating.

"..."

Mei Xiang was startled, and immediately backed out with the medicine bowl in her hand. She had no choice but to be intimidated by Zhou Wenqiu's usual lingering prestige, so she reflexively wanted to hide.

With the young master like this, I don't know if he can survive this winter.The skinny face is gone, the eye sockets are sunken, and even the volume of speaking is getting smaller and smaller——

Lying on the hospital bed, thinking wildly, Zhou Wenqiu recalled Osmanthus osmanthus's calm eyes more than once before she left. She said—"Zhou Wenqiu, you will definitely suffer retribution." She didn't cry or complain, she said so, but It's like a curse—he's fine now, he hasn't got a bride yet, and he's still suffering from illnesses every day.

In the past, he didn't believe in retribution, but after being sick, people would become weak, thinking that if he hadn't been so heartless back then, wouldn't he have ended up where he is today?

"Old lady—"

Mei Xiang walked halfway with the medicine bowl in her hand, just in time to meet the old lady of the Zhou family, the medicine bowl almost fell off with a shake of her hand, and she shouted timidly.

"Useless girl!"

Mrs. Zhou is already in her fifties, but because she is well-dressed and good at grooming, and her face is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early forties.Seeing Mei Xiang folded back with the medicine bowl in hand, she swung it with a slap in the face.

Mei Xiang couldn't dodge, and didn't dare to dodge, five red pointers appeared on her face immediately, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground.The corner of the mouth is burning and hurting, I'm afraid the skin is broken.

Back in the kitchen, the cook saw her in a state of distress, and couldn't help but mutter—"Sin, everyone in this family has the same virtue, and the son is sick like that, so I don't know how to accumulate virtue... "

"Don't talk about it, if the master and wife find out, they will have to be scolded!"

Mei Xiang hurriedly stopped and said, "I can't hurt the cook any more for myself!"

"Hey, how can they care about it now? It's good for the young lady to leave at the beginning, so as not to have to wait on this sick and consumptive ghost now, and maybe he will be a widow in the future—"

The cook said gloatingly, don't blame her for being unkind, which of the servants in Zhou's mansion hasn't been scolded or beaten?If it weren't for the death contract that she signed at the beginning, she would have gone far away.

The daughter of that family hadn't married yet, and when she heard that Zhou Wenqiu had a strange disease, she immediately returned the dowry and refused to marry.

"..."

When it came to the Young Madam, Mei Xiang stopped talking, and didn't know how the Young Madam was doing after returning to her natal home?Is Niuniu better?

The young master just doesn't know how to cherish blessings. He has such a good daughter-in-law, but he is still promiscuous outside, and finally wants to divorce his wife!

God has eyes, this is all retribution!

Mrs. Zhou went to her son's room and saw that he was still half-dead, with his eyes closed, he didn't know if he was asleep—"A famous doctor came to Fu'an County yesterday, and I heard that he cured many people. Send a servant girl to invite you, there is hope for your illness."

"Ahem, didn't you say that you invited a famous doctor, but what happened?"

Zhou Wenqiu half-opened his eyes and said without any hope, it was nothing more than a lot of trouble.

"Always try—"

Zhou felt sad for a while, what can I do?Could it be that he watched his son die?

"..."

Zhou Wenqiu stopped talking, no matter what, he still had a little luck in his heart, maybe this doctor cured his illness?

When the famous doctor arrived at the Zhou Mansion, he asked Zhou Wenqiu some details about his living habits and diet as usual, and then said: "Master Ling, this is Yin and cold in the interior, Yang Qi is exhausted, the body is cold and the limbs are cold, and the spleen and yang are weak... "

"How should this be treated?"

Zhou's head was dizzy from the general medical terminology, but he was somewhat convinced in his heart.

"I'll prescribe a prescription, take a few medicines, the key lies in the conditioning... No intercourse within three years, drinking alcohol in moderation, the food should be light..."

The famous doctor stroked his white beard, shook his head, and wrote a prescription.

"No intercourse for three years?"

Zhou was surprised, she was still counting on her grandson as soon as possible!The previous daughter-in-law didn't live up to expectations and only gave birth to a girl...

"Since ancient times, women have been yin and men have been yang. The so-called harmony of yin and yang is based on this principle. But Mr. Ling has too much yin in his body. If he insists on going his own way, even the Daluo Jinxian will be powerless."

After the famous doctor repeatedly confessed, he took 100 taels of consultation fee, gave the prescription, and drifted away.

"Aren't you going to grab the medicine according to the prescription?"

Mrs. Zhou threw Fang Zi on the maidservant behind her, and reprimanded her with a grim expression.Although my son's illness is expected to be cured, the consultation fee is really expensive!

The famous doctor left the Zhou Mansion, walked on the street for a while, and then turned to a remote place with no one there.When it reappeared, it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, but the white beard was stuck on it.

Holding the silver, he went straight into the embroidery workshop, saw Tao Hua and said with a smile, "It's done——"

This doctor turned out to be the accountant of the embroidery workshop.He lived in seclusion on weekdays, and after going through some disguises, he was not afraid of being recognized in the future.

"Thank you." Taohua smiled and thanked.

"Hehe, thanks to the words you taught me earlier, I can fool them around."

The accountant was a little proud and authentic, and then handed over the consultation fee to Taohua.

"You have half of the credit for this."

Taohua took the consultation fee, took out 50 taels and handed it over, one was for reward, and the other was for sealing the mouth.

"Then, I will be disrespectful."

The accountant took the money and said straightforwardly, with a smile on his face, anyone who moved his mouth would get 50 taels, and he would be very happy.

However, I don't know how the young master offended his master this week - he couldn't have intercourse for three years?

Hahaha, how cruel!No wonder it is said that the most poisonous woman's heart.

Not to mention how Mr. Accountant misunderstood Taohua, after he left, Taohua entered the room and said with a smile: "Such a small amount of money is not enough!" It is far away from 500 taels!

However, the silver is small, and finally let out a breath of anger for the eldest sister.

Tao Hua probably guessed that Master Zhou's illness was related to Su Mo. The gentleman in the bamboo forest is probably really a master.The younger brother has been with him for so long, and he will learn something...

Su Mo lifted the gaiwan, took a sip of the not-so-good tea, and smiled faintly—"The good show is yet to come."

On the other hand, the servant girl of the Zhou family took the prescription and ran all over the medicine shops in the town, but she couldn't find the medicinal herb named "Xueyuan".

The Zhou family sent people to Fu'an County to buy them overnight, but unfortunately they returned in vain.

Holding on to her last hope, she approached the Chang Family Merchant Group, which deals in precious medicinal materials, so she might be able to find them.

"I've heard of this kind of medicinal material, but it's not available in the business group. We generally don't buy this kind of medicinal material that is precious but not in high demand."

Guanshi Zhang had already received Su Mo's explanation, and said with a kind face and a smile.There was a gleam hidden in those small eyes.

"My son urgently needs this medicine to save his life. How long will it take to get the medicine?"

Zhou's face immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, but fortunately, there is no unparalleled road.

Zhang Guanshi pondered: "It's hard to say, it will take half a month at the earliest... It's just—"

"Just what?"

Zhou asked, no matter what, she must get the medicine.

"This medicine is extremely rare and the price is very high. A mature snow kite costs 500 taels."

Guanshi Zhang spoke slowly, deliberately emphasizing 500 taels.

"This—" Zhou was taken aback, she didn't expect it to be so expensive...

"Mrs. Zhou...do you see?"

Manager Zhang waited patiently. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"I promise you."

Zhou gritted her teeth and agreed, no matter how expensive it is, can it still be more expensive than her son's life?

"Okay, as soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform Madam immediately."

Tsk tsk, Brother Su can do this business, and it is clear that he is "taking advantage of others", the lion opened his mouth!

But how did he know Mrs. Zhou was in urgent need of "Snow Kites"?Then again, this Mrs. Zhou seems to be the eldest son-in-law of the Su family?Of course, not anymore.

What's the inside story here?However, even if he is curious, he also knows that there are some things to ask and some things that should not be asked.

"Hey, isn't this—"

Before Su Mo's right hand was hidden under the sleeve robe, Guanshi Zhang didn't see that he was holding a warm stone in his hand.

"what happened?"

Seeing him staring at the things in his hand, Su Mo smiled calmly.

"Hehe, this is a special warm stone from Haijia Country. Brother Su is really lucky."

Zhang Guanshi smiled and said, in fact, he was not surprised by this. Although this warm stone is considered a rare item, he has seen many rare treasures, so this is nothing.The main reason is that the young master's unique mark is engraved on this inconspicuous place on the warm stone, which means that this is his private property, and outsiders generally will not notice it.

So, this warm stone was given by his master, which is strange, I haven't seen any communication between the two of them, and with the cold personality of the master, can you give something away?

"I'm afraid of the cold, but luckily I have warm stones."

Su Mo smiled and said, Guanshi Zhang looked at Nuan Shi, it was obviously not as simple as what he said, but he didn't want to say it, and it would be futile to ask again.

However, it was Zhang Guanshi who started to struggle. What is the young master's attitude towards this child?This is related to the scale he will open up when dealing with matters related to Su Mo in the future.

It's not easy to be in charge of things, just read the words and demeanor, figure out the master's mind, and only do things to satisfy the master, right?
