Section 088: Milk Juice of Cattle

  Gu Chenzi was worried sick seeing his daughter in such a state.

  Because of Er Fang's Qing Ge's marriage, Er Fang has no one available except for Er Shu, but Er Shu doesn't take care of anything. So all internal and external matters are on Da Fang's shoulders.

  Gu Zhenzhi and his wife Lin Manjing were also busy running around in circles.

  The daughter is taken care of by her wet nurse.

  Babies spitting up milk is also normal.

  On the first day, Xiāo Jiě spat up once, and the wet nurse didn't think much of it.

  On the second day, which was Qingge's big happy day, Xizhe vomited even more severely. The wet nurse used all the folk remedies she knew, but Xizhe continued to vomit nonstop.

  At home, relatives came and went, and Big Granny Lin Manjing followed Big Madam to entertain the guests, while the wet nurse couldn't find her shadow.

  It was already late at night when Lin Manjing returned to the yard, and the child had vomited until he was on his last breath.

  Old Lady Lin Manjing burst into tears, scolding the wet nurse and the servant girl while calling for someone to quietly summon old Dr. Lao.

  Gu Zhen was still outside seeing off guests and couldn't be found anywhere.

  That night, Gu Chenzi sent off his guests and went west of the city. The curfew had begun, so he couldn't return home and ended up spending the night outside.

  Please call a doctor, prepare medicine and decoct medicine, all are done by Lin Manjing alone, she didn't sleep for the whole night.

  By the third day, the child's vomiting had stopped, and Lin Manjing was overjoyed.

  The nanny's dereliction of duty also lay with her as a mother, Lin Manjing knew that her parents-in-law had always doted on their eldest granddaughter, and her husband was even more indulgent, if he found out he would definitely blame her and the nanny.

  She didn't mention it to Gu Zhen, thinking that one less thing was better than one more.

  February 7th is the Shangyuan Festival, and there are still many guests at home who haven't been sent off yet.

  Gu Chen and Lin Manjing had another busy day

  Lin Wanqing returned to the house at noon when her sister was asleep. The wet nurse said that she had not vomited at noon.

  She thought it was really nothing.

  In the afternoon and evening, she was busy again at the mansion of the Grand Lady, and only returned to her courtyard after dinner.

  When she came back again, she found that the child was vomiting even more severely. A tender little face had withered away in just one day.

  Lin Manjing was anxious and feared her husband's scolding, so she called for the medicine to be brewed again. She wanted to deceive her husband by curing Xi Jie first before talking about it later.

  Anyway, I told my husband and asked him to take some medicine.

  She didn't dare sleep all night, fearing that Xiemei would relapse again.

  As a result, I got up early this morning and found that my sister was vomiting so much that she almost fainted. Lin Manjing knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she burst into tears first.

  It was then that Gu Zhenzhi found out.

  He looked at his daughter's soft and weak appearance, his heart was twisted into a knot. He asked Lin Manjing: "Xie sister has been ill for several days? Why didn't you tell me?"

  "Sister just said so yesterday." The wet nurse helped Lin Manjing cover up.

  Lin Manjing nodded, also choking back tears. She said her sister had started like this yesterday too.

  Gu Zhen didn't bother to blame anyone, wrapped the child in a silk cloak and turned around to run outside.

  Lin Manjing was slightly startled and didn't know what he was up to. Seeing him walking quickly, she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She chased after him and ran out.

  Along the way, Lin Manjing asked: "Where is this taking Xiaojie?"

  Gu Zhenzi just hurried along and didn't answer.

  Lin Manjing's tears were about to fall out.

  When her child falls ill, no one is more worried than she is.

  At that time, Qingge's wedding was being held, and the whole house was filled with guests. The wet nurse couldn't find her, and it wasn't like she had gone to slack off either.

  She is busy with her own affairs too.

  In the evening, Nai Nang finally found Lin Manjing, who had also asked a doctor to take a look at the child. After the child recovered, Lin Manjing went back to her busy schedule.

  It was Gu Zhen instead. There was no one in sight.

  Lin Manjing naturally knew he was busy with official duties, so she didn't blame him either.

  How come he looks at me with an accusing face?

  Thinking about it, Lin Manjing felt worried about her child and also felt wronged, with tears welling up in her eyes.

  At this time, the couple had arrived at Jingyuan.

  Lin Manjing hastily wiped away her tears and asked Gu Zhen in a low voice: "What are you doing here, Third Uncle?"

  Gu Chen still ignored her and knocked open the door of Jingyuan.

  Everyone in the quiet courtyard was having dinner when they saw the couple enter, and everyone was shocked.

  Gu Chenzhi's words made Jin Jie look at Xi Jie, and also surprised Lin Manjing greatly. She wanted to ask her husband what was going on, their daughter was so ill, but instead of seeing a doctor, they came to find Gu Zhenzhi.

  Big brother is very anxious.

  Sister is also listless and looks very frightening.

  Gu Jin hurried forward, took a look at Xi Jie's tongue coating, lifted her eyelids to take a look at her pupils, and then felt her pulse.

  Then she said to Gu Chen, who looked flustered: "Big brother, it's nothing serious. Xi sister is fine, the doctor just misdiagnosed and the child hasn't eaten well for days, that's why it looks scary, but actually there's nothing wrong at all. Big brother, don't worry first."

  Then let Gu Chenzhi take the child to Gu Jinzhi's room, "It's warm inside, don't stand here talking."

  Gu Chenzhi listened to Gu Jingsi's words and immediately took the child inside.

  Lin Manjing also followed in.

  Gu Jinzhi ordered Mu Qing, who was by her side: "Bring the best milk, add some ginger and scallions, heat it up and bring it over." Mu Qing was familiar with the household and found it easier to get things.

  Mu Qing was also startled by Xi Jie's appearance. Xi Jie was the darling of Master and Mistress, no wonder even Eldest Madam wanted to cry.

  She hastily replied in the affirmative and turned away.

  Mu Qing went to fetch milk, Song Panner and Gu Yanjun also entered Gu Jinzhi's room to see the child.

  The husband comforted Lin Manjing, while the wife consoled Gu Chenzhi.

  Gu Chen's face was gloomy, his eyes only looking at Xi Jie, refusing to speak with others, and even more unwilling to pay attention to Big Madam Lin Manjing.

  Lin Manjing felt a pang of sadness in her heart, she knew her husband was blaming her.

  But she only has a pair of hands and a pair of eyes. When her younger brother-in-law gets married, she has to help with everything on her mother-in-law's side, and she can't do anything about it.

  Doesn't she want to spend her days idly doting on her daughter?

  Besides, she knew her daughter was ill and immediately went to invite a doctor. Her daughter took the medicine but it didn't work, what else could she do?

  Household chores need her help, and the children still need her care. She rushes back and forth, and once something happens, all the blame is on her.

  Her difficulties, who has ever empathized with?

  It's really hard being a wife.

  The more Lin Manjing thought about it, the more bitter she felt in her heart, and she almost shed tears again.

  Gu Jin followed him into the room.

  She said a lot of comforting words to Gu Chenzhi and Lin Manjing, and the tense emotions of these two people improved slightly.

  After a while, Mu Qing brought in a bowl of milk soup with ginger and scallions.

  Gu Jin wants to feed Xi'er personally.

  Gu Chen took it over and said: "I'll come, I'll come!"

  Gu Yin gave it to him.

  Lin Manjing was confused and didn't know why Gu Chenzhi had found Gu Jintzi. She saw Gu Chenzhi messing up the food for the child, so she hurried forward and grabbed Gu Chenzhi's arm: "This... what is this?"

  She is worried.

  The child is already like this, it's better to find a more skilled pediatrician to take a look.

  Gu Zhen's delay in treating the child's illness led to the child being taken to Jingyuan, Lin Manjing did not dare to undermine her husband's prestige in front of others. Not a word was said.

  Nowadays, it's actually like this when giving food to children.

  She could no longer bear it.

  "It's cow's milk." Gu Jing explained, "Big sister. Didn't the doctor give Xiuniang medicine before? He thought it was just cold and windy outside, and Xiuniang had caught a chill and was vomiting milk, so he prescribed a warming remedy to dispel the cold. In fact, Xiuniang has some heat symptoms. I'm afraid the kang in the house is too hot, and the child can't bear it. Xiuniang was already feeling hot and irritable, and adding more heat with the medicine made her vomit even more pitifully."

  Lin Manjing suddenly let go.

  Gu Jin's words are absolutely right.

  The doctor she had invited earlier indeed said that her sister was affected by the wind and eating some medicine to dispel the cold would be fine. The child will be alright then.

  Who knows, after eating it, vomiting is even more severe.

  If it weren't for the medicine being counterproductive, how could things have turned out this way?

  Lin Manjing let go, and Gu Zhenzhi blew on a small spoon until it was half cool, feeding Xi Jie.

  "...The milk of the cow is sweet and slightly cold, it can relieve fever and also nourish the body. Gu Jin explained to Lin Manjing again. "Unfortunately, sister is still young, even the mildest medicine is not suitable for her. Using some tonic to treat her will have a good effect..."

  Lin Manjing listened and was convinced in her heart, nodding repeatedly.

  Although she didn't understand pharmacology, she had also heard that medicine is three parts poison.

  At that time, if it weren't for her daughter's serious illness, she wouldn't have dared to listen to the doctor and give medicine to the child.

  Nowadays, when she hears Gu Jingzhi's words, it is also said that children should not take medicine, and her own small knowledge coincidentally agrees with him, so she cannot help but believe in Gu Jingzhi.

  On the other side, Gu Chen feeds Xi Jie a bowl of milk that he had carefully prepared, but the child can't swallow it and spits it out.

  Song Pan'er watched anxiously from the side and said: "Brother Chen, get up, I'll do it!"

  Go ahead, take over Gu Zhenzhi's bowl and sit down, holding Xishier in her arms to feed.

  Her technique was much more skilled than Gu Chen's.

  Unfortunately, sister just wouldn't swallow it and even stopped opening her mouth anymore.

  Gu Jinzhi reached out and gently stroked the right ear of Xi Jie.

  "Daughter, eat some more." She stroked for a while and said to Song Xiang'er.

  Song Pan'er fed him again, and the child was able to open his mouth and swallow it down.

  She drank almost half a bowl of milk.

  Lin Manjing was delighted and her eyes were shining with tears, secretly praising Qimei's good skills, which were better than those of older doctors.

  Gu Chen was overjoyed and hugged the child again, saying: "Seventh sister, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, thank you so much!"

  "Where's the fuss!" Song Xuaner laughed. "Don't bother, put Xi Jie on Jin Jie's bed. She just ate something and can't be carried out."

  Gu Chenzhi and Lin Manjing both nodded.

  Everyone withdrew and did not disturb Xie sister.

  The little sister had drunk the cow's milk, and after about a quarter of an hour, she hadn't vomited, quietly lying in her mother Lin Manjing's arms, staring with a pair of black and powerless eyes.

  Lin Manjing's heart was tied into knots.

  Although Seventh Sister spoke with great reason, Lin Manjing still had no confidence in the effectiveness of the cow's milk.

  On the contrary, it was her husband Gu Zhen who relaxed completely. It could be seen that he trusted his seventh sister-in-law very much.

  Lin Manjing was slightly perplexed in her heart.

  Another quarter of an hour passed, and Xi Jie yawned, she was going to sleep.

  Lin Manjing was overjoyed and her heart was at peace once again.

  The child fell asleep, and Lin Manjing gave Gu Chenzhi a look, letting him go out, she would stay here to accompany him.

  Gu Chenzhi recalled the bad attitude just now, and whispered to his wife: "I was just anxious, my temper was not right, don't take it to heart."

  Lin Wanqing burst out laughing.

  She's a very optimistic person, whatever can be passed, she doesn't take it to heart. Fortunately, her sister is fine now, and she's overjoyed, how could she still be angry?

  "Go out quickly." She said with a smile.

  Gu Chenzi then came out of the room.
