Double Happiness

  Two days later, Madame Yuan fell ill and invited Dr. Wang from the Imperial Hospital to come and treat her.

  Wang, the imperial physician, had once served as a hospital administrator in the Imperial Hospital and had long since retired. He was now living a leisurely life in his own mansion, only occasionally offering advice to his disciples when there were difficult cases that could not be resolved within the palace, and he rarely saw patients himself.

  However, he was a close friend of the late General in his youth, and he still recognized the name card of Lady Yuan, the wife of General Town.

  The main hall of Tai'an Temple, all five daughters-in-law of Old Lady are there.

  The imperial physician carefully felt the pulse and asked, "Apart from hot flashes, red cheeks, and night sweats, do you also have symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, heart palpitations, irritability, and restlessness?"

  Madam Yuan nodded, "It didn't exist before, it started after the war broke out in the northwest."

  She thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh, "To be honest with you, I often can't sleep all night, at first I thought it was because I missed my children and grandchildren, and worried about them, but these past two days I've been sweating a lot, and every night I have to get up to change my clothes one or two times."

  The lady of Yining County asked anxiously beside him, "Royal Physician, what's wrong with Old Lady?"

  The imperial physician Wang hesitated for a moment and said soothingly, "Old lady has some yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. This illness is not serious but also not trivial."

  Cui Ying stood behind Old Lady, feeling very guilty in her heart.

  Unlike other sisters-in-law, she lived in the Tai'an courtyard. In recent days, under the pretext of reading books, except for meals with the old lady, she usually hid in her own room.

  So close at hand, yet didn't notice Old Lady's body was unwell.

  She supported the old lady's arm and called out in a low voice, "Grandma..."

  There is a lot of heartache and guilt in his tone.

  The old lady gently patted the arm of Princess Yining, then grasped Cui Rong's hand and smiled at several of her granddaughters-in-law, "Didn't you hear Dr. Wang say that this illness is not serious? Why are you all crying with such long faces?"

  She raised her head and nodded at Wang Taigong, "You old thing only say half of what you mean, scaring these children to death."

  The imperial physician stroked his beard, and his tone became more relaxed. "You ladies don't have to be so anxious, at our age, some yin-yang imbalance is normal. To be honest, I also have this kind of trouble, as long as we take care of ourselves with the right medicine, it's nothing to worry about."

  He slightly paused, "However, the old lady's overthinking and excessive worrying have led to a serious condition, I'm afraid it will take some time to recover."

  In the blink of an eye, something seemed to flash through Cui Ying's mind.

  She suddenly thought that in her previous life, an important female client had high blood pressure, with symptoms identical to those of the old man, including hot flashes and sweating, palpitations and insomnia, and occasional dizziness.

  The female client once said that high blood pressure is a common disease and it's not a fatal illness.

  Only one thing, once you get it, you can't get rid of the medicine for this life, and you have to take medicine every day to control it. There were two times when she was too busy and forgot about it, and immediately relapsed again.

  Chui Ying thought for a moment, then asked, "I used to know a lady who had the same symptoms as my grandmother. She said that this illness wasn't serious at all, but one must take medicine every day. If you forget to take it on any given day, it's easy to have a relapse."

  She looked at him with an honest face, "Doctor, is this really true?"

  The imperial physician thought for a moment, nodded his head, "It seems that the lady's illness is quite deep, but this is also possible. However, this is the first time the old lady has had this illness, and the symptoms are still mild, so it's not yet clear what the final diagnosis will be. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for now, and after she finishes taking them, I'll come back to continue treating her."

  He wrote a prescription and said, "Make it according to the recipe and take it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night."

  The old lady was straightforward and trustworthy of Dr. Wang, so she didn't take it too seriously either.

  She smiled and said, "It's not easy to invite Dr. Wang here this time, so why don't I also get a few of my granddaughters-in-law to have a check-up? I think the eldest daughter-in-law has been looking pale these past few days, and the second daughter-in-law has lost weight. If there's anything wrong, it would be good for Dr. Wang to prescribe some medicine to regulate their bodies."

  Several of the granddaughters-in-law knew that Imperial Physician Wang's medical skills were superb and he was also very affable, with a good relationship with the Yuan family, so they didn't stand on ceremony either, each sitting down to ask him to take their pulse.

  The lady of Yining County had a somewhat liver qi stagnation, and the second lady, Mrs. Liang, had food accumulation that was not transforming, so Dr. Wang prescribed two regulating formulas for them.

  Mr. Lian deeply understood the old lady's intention and knew that her grandmother actually wanted to ask about the fifth brother and sister's belly.

  She pulled Cui Ying down to sit, "Fifth brother and sister seem to have lost weight, let the old doctor take a look."

  The old lady heard the words and her eyes sparkled immediately, calculating the date, now it has been almost two months since Wu Lang and Xiao Wu's daughter-in-law got married, a skilled doctor can diagnose whether she is pregnant or not.

  The matter of descendants is a big deal, although she also knew that the hope was not great, but the old lady was still very nervous, looking at Wang Taigong with eager eyes.

  The imperial physician examined her carefully and said with a smile, "The fifth lady's body is fine, very healthy, the old lady doesn't have to worry."

  This is what it means to have no regrets.

  It's disappointing, but there is some.

  But the old lady was not a person who sought quick success and instant benefits, she knew that having children was something that needed to be done gradually, it couldn't be rushed, so she adjusted her mood very quickly.

  She smiled and said, "That's good, I now don't wish for anything, just wish that the whole family is safe and healthy, that's the greatest blessing!"

  At this time, Su Zihua slowly walked forward and softly said to Wang Taigong, "I have been feeling tired and listless these past few days, and I don't even have an appetite for food. Since the old doctor is here, would you mind taking a look at me too?"

  She gently placed her hand on the pulse-taking wrist, revealing a sparkling wrist.

  The imperial physician's expression was solemn as he felt the pulse, and after a long time, he finally broke into a smile. "Congratulations, Fourth Madam! Congratulations, Old Lady!"

  He made a bow with his hands clasped together, "The mansion is going to have a new addition!"

  The old lady's heart, which had just been slightly shocked, suddenly boiled up again upon hearing the news, "Is Little Fourth's wife pregnant?"

  The imperial physician smiled and said, "Yes, it's a joyful pulse, probably about two months pregnant."

  The news of adding a new member to the family was indeed the best news for General Yuan's family.

  The men of the Yuan family who stood at the gate and held the household, except for Yuan Dalang, all went to the battlefield, leaving only women and children in the house.

  Even if it's a family of generals who are already accustomed to parting, the heart that remembers and misses will not be any less than others.

  In the daytime, I have my sisters-in-law to keep me company, and that can somewhat dispel my longing for you. But when night falls, the torment of the long, dark night becomes even more unbearable in this increasingly cold weather.

  The Yuan family needs a splash of bright color to light up the cold and desolate night.

  Su Zi's painting was also delighted, with a slightly red face, saying, "I myself feel like it is, but I don't dare to confirm it. Fortunately, the old doctor is here today. The old doctor's medical skills are excellent, if he says so, then it must be true."

  Lian heard this and suddenly became a bit evasive, she said hesitantly, "Actually, my period is also two months late, but there are no other symptoms, I didn't dare suspect it."

  Her face flushed as she said, "Since everyone has asked Dr. Lao for help today, I won't bother the two masters again, and I'll ask Dr. Lao to enlighten me."

  Before long, the house rang out with Imperial Physician Wang's hearty laughter. "The noble mansion is blessed with a double happiness, will the old madam give this old man a thick red envelope?"
