Volume 1 Chapter 121 Sister and Cousin (6)

  "It's not bad to say that the lotus leaf and flower are quite good! Under the influence of unrelated things, I shouldn't have disliked others for no reason!" Lu Jinyu heard this and felt a great relief in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh.

  Xu Wanzhu said with a smile: "So Hui's sister is also knowledgeable about medicine? Truly versatile and talented!"

  Yao Cun Hui smiled and said: "I just know a little bit about it, elder sister is overpraising me!"

  Everyone laughed and said: "This is indeed rare! Miss Yao lives up to her reputation as a learned scholar!"

  Xie Fu Yun glanced at Yao Cun Hui and also smiled: "My wife's sister usually loves to read these esoteric books, this statement is indeed true!"

  The young master of the scholarly family, Wang Gongzi, couldn't help but take another glance at Yao Cunhui and smiled: "No wonder Miss Yao looks like a bookworm! I wonder what other books Miss Yao likes to read besides medical texts?"

  Does it have a scholarly air? Yao Cunhui himself found it amusing, and smiled faintly: "It's just some miscellaneous books, not worth showing off."

  "Look at Hui's sister, she's so humble and not like some people who show off even when no one asks her!" Lu Jinyu suddenly felt much better and secretly made a sarcastic comment about Xu Wanting. Before she could respond, he smiled and ordered someone to bring up the jade zither, saying: "Didn't Brother Xie say he wanted to hear me play? I'll give him a humble performance!"

  Li Jia's son smiled and said: "You weren't willing just now, how come you're willing all of a sudden?"

  "I've changed my mind, what's your opinion?" Lu Jinyu gave him a white eye.

  "I wouldn't dare! I can only listen with a humble heart!" Li Gongzi burst out laughing, and everyone else followed suit. For a moment, they refilled the tea cups again, and ordered the little maid to pick a few lotus flowers, which she arranged in a vase filled with water on the table. The fragrance of the flowers wafted gently, refreshing the heart.

  Lu Jin-yu had already sat down at the jade qin, her slender fingers plucking the strings, the clear and crisp sound of the qin was like a gentle brook babbling, pearls rolling, wafting and lingering in the midst of the mountain scenery and water, blending with the surroundings, worthy of being called heavenly music.

  The piece ended with everyone applauding endlessly.

  Xu Wantong bit her lip, but a smile appeared on her lovely face. She got up and personally handed a bowl of tea to Lu Jinyu, saying with a smile: "Sister Jinyu's piano skills are truly superb, the sound lingers in the air, it's endless, making me admire you so much! This bowl of tea is to congratulate you, sister!"

  Lu Jinyu pouted and hummed, not even glancing at Xu Wanting, ignoring her tea and walking straight past her to sit down by herself.

  Lu Gongzi's face turned somewhat unsightly, Xie Fu Yun also slightly changed color, and the faces of all the gentlemen present also had some pity for Xu Wenzhen.

  The girl's quarrel was not a deep-seated hatred, and even if Lu Jinyu didn't like her, she shouldn't have embarrassed her in public like that - it wasn't just embarrassing Xu Wanting, but herself as well!

  Everyone present has received good manners education, how can they have no opinion on Lu Jinyu?

  Yao Cunhui couldn't help but slightly raise an eyebrow: This Lu Miss is probably spoiled at home and does things too impulsively! Alright, Xu Wanting will have another reason to "seek comfort" from her brother-in-law later!

  "Golden Jade sister, Wan'er's older cousin is congratulating you! This is indeed the older cousin's kind intention!" Yao Cunhui smiled and looked at Lu Jinyu.

  Lu Jinyu was taken aback, suddenly realizing that she had been too reckless, and shouldn't have just sought a momentary thrill. She smiled wryly, turned around to take the tea from Xu Wanting, and forced out a stiff smile as she said "thank you!"

  Xu Wantong didn't expect her to come back to herself, and she forced a smile as she sat back down.

  Although the tea was handed over, Lu Jinyu couldn't bring herself to drink it, her stubbornness making it impossible for her to swallow, and yet her throat was parched. Just as she was about to put the cup down, she caught a provocative glance from Xu Wanting, which made Lu Jinyu furious. She was just about to lash out when Yao Cunhui intervened, "Sister Jinyu, it's better if you don't drink too much tea, why not try some plain water instead?"

  Lu Jinyu was grateful to Yao Cunhui for helping her out of the predicament, and with a smile, she put down the scalding teacup in her hand and called for Xiaoyutou to bring some plain water.

  Xu Wantong slightly sneered, with a fake smile, and said to Yao Cunhui: "How can't you drink tea again? I don't know what high insight Hui sister has this time. Is it that you're afraid I'll do something fishy in the tea water?" The implication is accusing Yao Cunhui of being narrow-minded!

  Here is the translation:

  Here we go again! Xie Fu Yun was just about to take advantage of the lively atmosphere and ask someone to compose a poem and sing in harmony, which would be a perfect opportunity for Yao Cun Hui to show off - he thought that since Yao Cun Hui was so knowledgeable, his poetry skills must also be exceptional!

  No, it's starting to smell like gunpowder again. Xie Fu Yun secretly cursed: the task given by his wife seemed so simple, just gathering together, chatting, and laughing, why did it become so unsmooth in his hands?!

  "Big sister, you've misunderstood! It's not like that!" Yao Cunhui said seriously to Lu Jinyu: "May I be so bold as to say, I see that Sister Jinyu's complexion is slightly pale, and her spirit seems listless. Has sister been feeling weak all over, short of breath, dizzy and easily tired lately?"

  "How did you know!" Lu Jinyu exclaimed in surprise.

  Zheng Yi, who was standing beside her, also raised her head in surprise and said: "Right, right! Cousin has been like this lately, not a bit wrong! Even when we asked the doctor to come and take a look, he couldn't find anything wrong with her. Auntie and Grandma thought she was just feeling cooped up at home, so today they specially told Brother to bring us out for a walk around the lake to clear our minds!"

  Everyone suddenly became attentive and looked at Yao Cunhui in unison, waiting to see what she would say.

  Yao Cunhui nodded secretly, took Lu Jinyu's hand and looked at it. The skin on her hand was slightly dry and wrinkled, the nails were dull and lusterless, and when he lightly stroked the palmar surface, he could feel the roughness. This is a typical case of iron deficiency anemia, and it's not surprising that the doctor couldn't diagnose it at this time!

  "Miss Yao, my sister - are you alright?" Lu Gongzi saw that Yao Cunhui was taking her pulse and examining her, his heart couldn't help but tense up. You should know that the seven brothers of the Lu family, including cousins, only had one daughter, Lu Jinyu. Not just their grandmother and parents, but also the aunts and uncles in the household all doted on this younger sister like she was the apple of their eye. Even among these older brothers, no one didn't love her. If at such a young age she really contracted some kind of serious illness, the whole family would be worried sick!

  "Master Lu, don't worry, it's just a minor illness! This is, uh, caused by eating too much of one thing." Yao Cunhui thought this explanation was the easiest to understand.

  "Picky eating? How can it be treated?"

  Yao Cunhui glanced at Lu Jinyu and smiled: "It's very simple, as long as you don't eat a biased diet, have a balanced nutrition, your body will get all the nutrients it needs, and there won't be any problems! Just avoid certain foods, when you go back, first of all, don't drink this tea water again, especially after meals. Eat more animal liver, lean meat, egg yolks, fish, mushrooms, celery, spinach, soybeans, sesame seeds, etc., take good care of yourself for a while and it will be fine, it's not a big deal."

  "Is it really just like that?" Lu Jinyu and her brother and cousin exchanged a look, all of them finding it unbelievable.

  "Exactly! This was never a serious illness to begin with, it's no wonder the doctor couldn't cure it! You also need to take care of yourself in moderation, after some time I guarantee you'll be completely fine!" Yao Cunhui smiled.

  "Then, can Miss Yao give me a prescription?" Lu Gongzi asked with great importance.

  Yao Cunhui thought for a moment and smiled: "Alright, I'll make a recipe list with some notes. You can refer to it when you get back."

  "That's troubling Miss Yao! I'll personally go to the Ye Manor to thank them later!" Lu Gongzi said with a smile.

  "I'll go myself! I'll take a look at Sister Xie's place!" Lu Jinyu smiled and said, "With your medical skills as a guide, Sister Xie will definitely give birth to a fair and chubby baby!"

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  The young master of the Wang family smiled and asked Ms. Yao Cunhui, "May I ask which medical book this comes from? I'm a bit curious, I'll go back and take a look!"

  What a big tone, can't you have any book in your family? Yao Cunhui subconsciously looked at Xie Fu Yun, Xie Fu Yun just smiled and didn't speak, Yao Cunhui couldn't help but be tongue-tied, thinking that this scholarly family was indeed not called in vain!

  She didn't know that the Wang family had produced two zhuangyuan and nine jinshi, and the number of juren was too many to count on both hands. Since the founding of the country, it has been a renowned family in Jinling with a deep foundation. The sons and daughters of the family are all well-read and not limited by conventional rules. The family's collection of books is vast and comprehensive, covering everything.

  "This, I suddenly can't remember!" Yao Cunhui smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "I read books and only remember the content, but don't like to remember book titles, it's laughable for Wang Gongzi to see me like this!"

  The prince's face showed a hint of disappointment, and he smiled as he said, "It doesn't matter."

  Fu Jia's young master also asked, "My uncle's leg hurts from time to time throughout the year, especially on rainy days. Does Miss Yao know what kind of symptom this is?"

  Fu Gongzi finished speaking and looked at Yao Cunhui with eager eyes, waiting for her answer.

  Yao Cunhui was taken aback: Is this saying that she is being treated as a goddess?

  "Is it joint pain? Or is it rheumatism?" Rheumatic diseases get worse on rainy days, this is almost common sense.

  "No." Fu Jia Gongzi shook his head and said, "Please ask the doctor to take a look. The pain is not in the joints, but in the calf muscles of the leg. When it's severe, Uncle can't sleep all night! Alas!"

  "Muscle pain?" Yao Cunhui couldn't help but feel puzzled, and asked again: "I don't know what kind of pain it is? And when did it start?"

  Fu Jia Gongzi said: "According to my uncle, it's a feeling similar to bloating pain, but even more unbearable, making one restless and unable to sit or stand still. When did it start? - Probably around 7 or 8 years ago! My uncle used to be in the army, he was injured on the battlefield, after returning home, not long after that, I heard him yelling in pain."

  "It turned out that Uncle had been on the battlefield before!" Yao Cunhui hesitated for a moment, smiled and said: "May I ask, did your uncle's painful leg get injured?"

  Fu Jia Gongzi was taken aback and hastily nodded: "That's right! My uncle's leg was indeed injured!"

  "Well, if that's the case, please forgive me for being bold and guessing that this isn't an illness at all. It's just that the wound wasn't treated properly back then, and there must be some foreign object still lodged in the flesh under the scab. Maybe it's a leftover arrowhead, maybe it's a piece of shattered stone, or maybe it's something else entirely. As time passed and the wound healed, the foreign object inside started causing trouble, and if it didn't hurt, that would be strange!"

  "This——" The young master of the Fu family stared blankly and asked: "Then, then what should we do?"
