The girl who wears fast

Chapter 5 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (5)

With the help of the second housekeeper, Xu Shichu selected the servants he needed, asked a few guards to take them back to the prime minister's residence, and then went to the largest medical clinic in the capital.

When the people in the hospital saw Xu Shichu coming in with a team of well-trained servants, they immediately noticed her extraordinary status. The old doctor came up to welcome her.

"Madam is well, but do you want to seek medical advice?"

"Yes, I need to adjust my body." Xu Shichu nodded, sitting in front of the pulse console and stretching out his thin hands.

Although the old doctor was a little puzzled why the noble lady didn't invite the doctor to come to the clinic for treatment, but came to the hospital in person, but he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he treated Xu Shichu as an ordinary patient.

The old doctor carefully observed Xu Shichu's complexion, focusing on the eyeballs and the color of his lips. After looking at it for a long time, he frowned and felt Xu Shichu's pulse.

After holding it for a long time, the old doctor said: "Ma'am, the pulse is thin and empty, difficult and sluggish, it is a sign of deficiency of both Qi and blood, and all kinds of fatigue; it is floating and weak, it is a deficiency of yin, it is a cold syndrome, and most of it is a reverse of the limbs. Cold, heatstroke, excessive sweating, inability to eat... If not properly treated and recuperated, life expectancy will be hindered."

The old doctor said a lot, in short, he said that Xu Shichu's physical condition was very poor, and he suffered a lot of losses. If he didn't take good care of him, he wouldn't live long.

Xu Shichu had already been mentally prepared for this, so he said calmly: "Then trouble the doctor to prescribe a prescription for me."

The old doctor looked at Xu Shichu, hesitating to speak, perhaps because he was suspicious of her extraordinary status but didn't know why her body was so poor. Looking at her physical condition, it was obvious that she had left many hidden dangers since she was a child, not only the loss of energy and blood , and the meridian block left by the trauma.

Obviously, this lady's life is not as good as she seems.

Xu Shichu pretended not to see the old doctor's expression, and while she was waiting for the staff in the clinic to fetch her medicine, she bought some other herbs, which she had other uses for.

After coming out of the medical hall, Xu Shichu didn't go anywhere, and went directly back to the prime minister's mansion.

Only two servants were left to train the newly bought servants, and the others were returned to Luo Yaqing at Xu Shichu.

Back in his remote small courtyard, Xu Shichu felt weak all over and dizzy. His body was so bad that he couldn't take it after going out to do such a little thing.

She ordered someone to make medicine, then lay down on the bed and had a good rest.

In the study of Luo Changqing in the prime minister's mansion, Luo Changqing had already come out of the palace. While looking at the paperwork in his hand with a frown, he asked the second butler who was standing with his hands down: "What did Mrs. Xu do today?"

The second housekeeper then told everything that Xu Shichu had done, including looking for servants from the eldest lady, returning to her mother's house to throw away dowry, buying servants, seeing a doctor, everything was explained clearly and carefully, even Xu Shichu and Zhou's quarrel, and the pulse of the old doctor in the hospital, all explained clearly.

Luo Changqing was a little surprised when he heard that, he didn't even look at the paperwork in his hand, and said, "Why is this Mrs. Xu's personality so different from before? How dare she scold her aunt and beat her step-sister? Isn't she Being oppressed to death by the people in that mansion?"

The second steward looked at Luo Changqing cautiously, saw that his face was only surprised but not disgusted, so he said:

"Xu Shi has finally escaped from the wolf's den and tiger's den. He doesn't need to hide himself or show weakness in order to survive?"

The second housekeeper himself found a reasonable reason for Xu Shichu. He heard the old doctor tell the real situation of Xu Shichu's body. His body was not even comparable to the little girl who burned the fire in the prime minister's mansion. She has no worries about food and clothing, but Xu Shichu, as a decent young lady in Uncle Ningyuan's mansion, has no food, no warm clothes, and has been abused so badly that the second housekeeper, as a servant, sympathizes with her.

Luo Changqing nodded after hearing what the second housekeeper said, and understood Xu Shichu a little bit. After all, she lived under such a vicious stepmother, if she didn't restrain her temper and bear the humiliation, she probably wouldn't be able to live to get married.

But now in the Xiangfu, although he can't treat her as a real wife, he gave her the dignity as the wife of the Xiangfu, and it only depends on how she uses this dignity in the future.

In the three months since they got married, Luo Changqing saw that she still had that cowardly, submissive look, and thought that was her true character, and she couldn't change it. Unexpectedly, she made him look different today, not only dealt with the dowry swiftly and resolutely. The Diao Nu, who also began to take care of his body, looked like he had changed his face and lived a good life from now on.

Luo Changqing is happy to see her change. After all, even if she is just a nominal matriarch of the Xiangfu, she still has to go out to socialize. If she is weak and can be bullied, it will not be a good thing for the Xiangfu.

I didn't care about her before, I just thought she couldn't support the wall with mud, but now that she is not mud, she can be supported.

"As long as she keeps her duty and doesn't interfere with the affairs of the young master and miss, then she can do whatever she wants to satisfy her." Luo Changqing ordered, he will give her the dignity of Mrs. Xiangfu, as long as she is smart enough.

"Yes!" The second butler replied, feeling happy for Xu Shichu.

Xu Shichu didn't know that she had much more power, but she felt a good change the next day in terms of basic necessities of life, beautiful clothes, jewelry, and jewelry, and the breakfast was much more delicious. The construction has begun, and the flowers and plants in the garden have also begun to be planned...

From this day on, Xu Shichu began to feel the joy of life that he should really enjoy as the wife of the Xiangfu.

She was lying on the porch basking in the sun after lunch, when she saw a few servants tidying up the flowers and plants in the yard.

Xu Shichu called them over and said, "Except for those precious ones, pull out all the ordinary flowers and plants, and sort out the vacant land. I have plans for what flowers and plants to plant in the future."

The servants did as she said.

Xu Shichu didn't have any leisure time to plant flowers and plants. She planned to plant some flowers and plants that could be made into spices, such as bergamot, mint, sweet-scented osmanthus, plum blossom, and magnolia, which could be used in various spices.

After Xu Shichu went through her meager dowry last night, she found a spice shop and a bookstore, so she planned to develop her spice shop well.

And it just so happened that she traveled through the last world and became a court lady who specialized in perfumery beside the queen mother. The queen mother had long been the final winner of the previous harem, and the current emperor's harem has nothing to do with the queen mother, so Xu Shichu was quite comfortable as the queen mother's maid Yes, she only needs to concentrate on blending fragrances, but she has the time and conditions to delve deeply into the craft of spices.

This time, the craft has another use.
