The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Nanny Zhang was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments. The old lady had been coughing for a long time and every time it broke out, she would cough endlessly.

The palace physician had examined the patient, and doctors from outside clinics had also been invited to come in, but there had been no improvement.

"Okay, you're so flustered now, you're an old man. Don't scare the little girl. I'm fine now, right?"

Madam Xie, who had recovered, gently patted the back of Nanny Zhang's hand and waved kindly to Qin Ruo.

"Child, come forward."

Qin Ruo followed instructions and stepped forward, smiling at Old Madam Xie and speaking politely.

"I apologize for my offense just now. Old lady, please forgive me. I wonder what you want from me, old lady?"

"It's okay, kid, you pressed on me just now and made me feel much better. Thank you very much."

"From what you just said, I think you know something about medicine, right? So how do you think I can cure my cough?"

Old Madam Xie took a closer look at Qin Ruo who was standing in front of her.

The little girl was dressed in ordinary and even shabby clothes, and it was obvious that she came from a poor family in the countryside.

When the young boy faced him, there was neither flattery nor fear in his eyes, which made old man Xie interested all of a sudden.

Old Madam Xie looked at Qin Ruo with interest, waiting for her answer.

Qin Ruo's lips curled up slightly.

Connections, here they come?

"I think the lemon leaves in your yard are good. Boil some fresh lemon leaves with rock sugar in water. Madam, you might as well try it."

Qin Ruo pointed to the wall behind the old lady, where a lemon tree with its top vaguely visible, and answered calmly.

People from wealthy and powerful families are all shrewd people, and each of them has eight hundred tricks up their sleeves.

If you want to play tricks on an old fox, you can't follow the routine.

So Qin Ruo did not try to be mysterious, but expressed his meaning directly and simply.

She could tell at a glance that Madam Xie's health was suffering from over-warming.

Over-warming the body will inevitably cause heat and aggravate cough, further disturb the mind and cause insomnia.

As soon as she approached Old Madam Xie, Qin Ruo smelled the faint scent of tonic medicine on her body.

Wow! Angelica, white peony root, ginseng, rhodiola rosea…

How many people can withstand such a fierce supplementation method? Not to mention an elderly person.

"Are you talking about lemongrass leaves? Can this thing be used as medicine? What is rock sugar? Is it icing sugar?"

The old lady followed the direction of Qin Ruo's finger and looked towards the tree in the yard, her eyes full of surprise.

Even Aunt Zhang looked puzzled, as there were plenty of precious medicinal herbs in the mansion.

The little girl in front of me said that the thing that could cure the old lady's cough was the most insignificant thing.

"Lemon leaves are what you call lemon leaves, and rock sugar is icing sugar. We are used to calling them that in the countryside."

Qin Ruo then remembered that the lemon tree here is called Lemon Leaf.

As for rock sugar, it is not called rock sugar, but icing sugar.

Qin Ruo heard the old lady's question and added a sentence with sympathy. Then she stood aside, smiling but not saying anything.

The doctor of the Xie family is not necessarily a bad doctor, he is just too cautious and is used to solving problems with his inherent way of thinking.

For example, Mrs. Xie is weak, so between weakness and cough, she should choose the lesser of two options.

People with weak constitutions need to take tonic medicine to sustain themselves. Once tonic medicine is taken, the cough caused by dryness and heat will be aggravated.

This creates a vicious cycle.

For example, boiling lemon leaves in water may be something the other party doesn’t necessarily know about.

But perhaps the Xie family was so used to good things that they overlooked the simplest things.

"Qionghua, I feel like I'm getting along well with this kid. Please invite them into the mansion to rest."

Old Madam Xie kept smiling as she spoke to Nanny Zhang, then kindly took Qin Ruo and walked into the house.

Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and each one was more nervous than the other.

Especially when Nanny Zhang scolded Qin Ruo for being "insolent" just now, both of them felt their hearts in their throats.

At this moment, in this cold winter, a thin layer of sweat actually appeared on the palms and foreheads of both of them.

The villagers often say that the dignitaries treat human life as if it were grass.

Killing a powerless poor person is as easy as stepping on an ant.

Once you offend an important person, there will definitely be no good ending.

It was not until they saw Qin Ruo talking calmly with the old lady and being invited into the mansion that Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zimu watched for a long time, feeling excited and somewhat unbelievable.

He didn't know when his elder sister suddenly understood all this.

But looking at the old lady's expression, it was obvious that she still trusted my sister.

He didn't dare to ask Zhou Dazhui and followed carefully into Xie's house.

The Xie Mansion has three courtyards, and the most striking thing is the pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, and flying eaves and green tiles...

The servants shuttled around, each doing their own job, busy and orderly.

Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu quietly tugged at their clothes, feeling that they were out of place in the entire Xie family.

The two of them even breathed lighter, and didn't dare to look around, just walked forward obediently.

After a while, Nanny Zhang led Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu into the side hall of Xie's mansion and asked the maids to serve tea and cakes.

The maidservant, who received instructions from Nanny Zhang, left the room on her own initiative after serving tea and pastries in order to avoid making Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu feel uncomfortable.

Nanny Zhang followed Mr. Xie and Qin Ruo into the backyard. After the old lady and Qin Ruo sat down and served tea, Nanny Zhang did not make any detours.

After asking Qin Ruo for advice on how to cook rock sugar with lemon leaves, she immediately told her maid Qiuyue to pick fresh lemon leaves.

The more Mrs. Xie looked at Qin Ruo, the more she felt that she was a good match for him.

This child may be a little thinner because of long-term malnutrition.

But if you look closely, you'll find that her facial features are all very good.

Speak clearly and calmly.

Since arriving in Taihe County, Mr. Xie likes to be quiet and seldom goes out.

After winter came, Aunt Zhang was worried about her health and wanted to keep her in bed all day.

Although her nephew also came to Taihe County recently, he was missing Cang Jiu Shenlong all day long, and she was really bored in the mansion.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xie was delighted to meet such an interesting girl like Qin Ruo.

Suddenly I felt that all the problems in my body were better.

During the conversation, when he learned that Qin Ruo had just turned fifteen this year, he couldn't help but reveal a look of heartache.

When she saw Qin Ruo's thin and small appearance, Mrs. Xie thought she was only thirteen at most.

It was even more sad to know that the game delivered to the mansion today was all hunted by her herself in the mountains.

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Life in this world is not easy, and it is even harder for girls from poor families.

She grabbed Qin Ruo's slender wrists several times and patted them again and again like a loving elder to a younger one.

As the conversation deepened, she and Qin Ruo became more and more compatible.

When a servant came to report that the palace physician had arrived, the old lady waved her hand and sent him away.
