ADUAAOR, IJWTF Chapter 63: Zhou Rouyi Is Sick

It was obvious that the girl was the one who loved to eat the most!

The large jar was bought back the next day, but since it wasn’t suitable for planting during the winter, they had to wait until the following spring. Ai Cao washed and rinsed it first, and poured some water into the jar to keep it, making it convenient to use the jar for holding fish like carp and grass carp for eating, rather than ornamental fish like koi.

Su Yujin praised repeatedly, “Ai Cao is smart. I never thought about the fish playing among the lotus leaves before. Plant lotus roots underneath and raise a few crucian carp in the water. Then we will have both vegetables and meat.”

Looking around the yard again, Su Yujin said, “The space in this yard is not small anyway. It is a waste to leave it empty. It is better to put two more big jars so that there is no shortage of food and drink.”

Ai Cao, “…”

What kind of flowers and plants did you mention?

Now it was good, this yard was more down-to-earth.

She didn’t know what the Second Young Master would think when he saw these big tanks for raising fish and lotus when he came back…

Ai Cao sighed.

Su Yujin suddenly became interested in making lotus root meatballs and stewed mutton with crucian carp because of the talk about lotus and crucian carp, so she called Ai Cao and Liu Mama to help.

The master and servant were busy when Lian Qiao ran over in a hurry.

“Miss Su.” Lian Qiao ran out of breath, “My wife wants you to go over. Master Yi suddenly fell ill, and the disease was very serious. The doctor is helpless. My wife asked me to ask you to go over and take a look.”

Zhou Ruoyi was sick?

Su Yujin’s pupils shrank subconsciously, “Ai Cao, go get the silver needle.”

Ai Cao didn’t dare delay and hurried to fetch Su Yujin’s small box for silver needles and pulse diagnosis.

The master and servant hurriedly followed Lian Qiao to Zhou’s house.

When they arrived at Zhou’s house, they passed through several doors and arrived at Li Luoyuan where Zhou Ruoyi lived.

Li Shi was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and hurried over to greet her, “Miss Su is here.”

“How did he fall ill? Tell me in detail.” Su Yujin said.

“The teacher was sick and took leave today. Yi’er didn’t go to class. He just reviewed and read books at home. After lunch, he took a nap in his room. After getting up, he practiced calligraphy there.”

Li Shi replied hurriedly, “I saw that he was busy, so I went back to my own courtyard and did some needlework with Lianqiao. As a result, not long after, someone came to report that Yi’er fainted!”

“I asked Mother Zheng and several servants around her, and they all said that there was nothing wrong. Yi’er was writing there and suddenly fainted.”

Fainting for no reason, could it be a heart disease?

Su Yujin frowned, “I’ll go and take a look first.”

“Miss Su, come with me.” Li Shi led Su Yujin all the way to Zhou Ruoyi’s bedroom.

At this time, Zhou Ruoyi’s eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his breathing was also very weak.

Su Yujin took Zhou Ruoyi’s wrist to feel his pulse, and after a moment she checked Zhou Ruoyi’s chest, neck, arms, and pupils of both eyes.

Overall, it seemed to be an allergy, and because the allergy was severe, he showed symptoms of shock. If he was not treated in time, his life would be in danger.

Su Yujin’s face darkened, and she hurriedly took out the silver needles and inserted needles into Zhou Ruoyi’s head, arms, shoulders, chest, and even feet.

Then, she quickly wrote out two prescriptions.

“For this one, grind all the herbs into powder and burn them in an incense burner. For this prescription, boil it into a thick soup, mix it with three grams of rice wine, and feed it to Master Yi.”

Su Yujin added, “It must be quick!”

“Yes.” Li Shi hurriedly ordered people to do it.

The Zhou family had been in the medicinal materials business for many years, and the family had always prepared many ready-made medicinal materials. Although the medicinal materials prescribed by Su Yujin were of various types, they were not particularly expensive and could be found ready-made at any time.

It didn’t take long for both of them to be prepared.

The medicinal materials were burning in the incense burner, emitting a faint smell, which was a bit bitter and pungent.

Su Yujin placed the incense burner slightly next to Zhou Ruoyi’s bed to ensure that he could breathe in enough medicine.

After the soup was boiled, Li Shi held Zhou Ruoyi and fed him the soup.

Zhou Ruoyi was unconscious, and most of the soup flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Li Shi took a bowl to catch it, and then patiently fed him with a spoon.

The soup seemed to be getting less, but Li Shi’s eyes were already blurred.

Yi’er was her lifeblood and her only support in this world. If anything happened to Yi’er, she would definitely go with him.

Li Shi’s mood was in turmoil and she choked up for a while.

But, the more she felt at this moment, the more she couldn’t cry.

Li Shi took a deep breath, forced back her tears, and continued to feed the medicine patiently.

After feeding for a meal, the medicine was almost one-third absorbed.

“Almost done. The medicine was originally heavy, and it was estimated that he couldn’t drink it. These are almost enough. Wait a quarter of an hour, I will feel his pulse again.”

Li Shi was relieved when she heard Su Yujin say this, and hurriedly moved a soft stool to Su Yujin, and told Lian Qiao to make tea, “Miss Su, take a rest. The incident happened suddenly, and I really didn’t take good care of you.”

“Madam, you are too serious. Madam is worried about Master Yi’s condition. It is normal for you to be unable to take care of me for the time being. Besides, there is no need to talk about these empty formalities between you and me.”

Su Yujin waited for a while, and after a quarter of an hour, she felt Zhou Ruoyi’s pulse again, pulled out a few of the silver needles, and changed the acupuncture points.

After another quarter of an hour, she changed a few more needles.

Su Yujin felt Zhou Ruoyi’s pulse again and saw that his face had regained some color. His expression was relieved. “He should be fine. I estimate that he will wake up in an hour or two.”

“Make another dose of the medicine you just burned. If he doesn’t wake up in an hour, fumigate him again.”

Li Shi, who felt relieved, hurriedly ordered people to do it, and asked Su Yujin, “Miss Su, do you know what disease the child has and why he suddenly became like this?”

“Master Yi is still in good health and has no serious illness. It’s just that Master Yi is like this this time because of severe allergies. That’s why he became like this.”

Su Yujin asked, “Do you know what Master Yi is allergic to?”

“He is severely allergic to plum blossoms.” Li Shi replied, “As long as he sees plum blossoms and smells the scent of plum blossoms, he will feel uncomfortable all over. If the flowers touch his body, he will get a rash. So I have instructed that plum blossoms must not appear in the mansion, and there must be no food related to plum blossoms.”

“Since Yi’er was found to be allergic to plum blossoms and had a rash when he was two years old, the family has always strictly followed my instructions and nothing has gone wrong. Miss Su said that he suffered from his allergy to plum blossoms?”

“That’s right.” Su Yujin nodded.

“But just now Doctor Ge said that the young master probably isn’t having an allergic reaction because no red rashes have appeared on his body,” said Mama Zheng, who was standing nearby.
