Wealth and glory seek stability

Zi Cui said quickly, "Yes, there is a wound on the girl's shoulder. We have cleaned it and applied medicine. There is also a bruise on the calf. Please ask the female doctor to check if the bones are injured."

Jian Xi lifted the quilt and Dr. Guo checked her. Her body was covered with some superficial injuries, but when she pressed on her legs, Jian Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

Guo Xiu understood, "The rest of your body is just superficial injuries. Use my medicine later and I guarantee that you won't even have scars. You have to treat this leg injury properly."

Jian Xi moved, and felt a sharp pain. She hadn't felt it before, but after lying down for a while, she felt the pain was unbearable. "Is it a fracture?"

Guo Xiu comforted her, "No, it's just a common sprain. No bones are hurt. The girl didn't feel it when her body was hot, but she felt it once she relaxed."

Mrs. Gao was standing aside, looking at the injuries on Jian Xi's body, she couldn't help but shed tears. Such a delicate and soft little girl suffered such serious injuries without making a sound.

"Thank you, doctor. Do you need any medicine?"

Guo Xiu raised her hand, "No need. I was entrusted by Mr. Gao to take good care of the girl before I leave. These are just skin injuries. I will just use some medicinal wine to treat injuries. I will write a few recipes for medicinal food later. The girl needs to take good care of herself."

Zi Cui was overjoyed, "That's great, I'll have someone arrange accommodation for the female doctor right away."

There are few female doctors. If female relatives in the capital have any illness, at most they would ask the imperial physician to diagnose and treat them. However, there are differences between men and women, and some injuries are always difficult to talk about. No one knows where Gao Yunhuai invited the female doctor from.

Mrs. Gao looked at the darkening sky outside and knew that it was time. "Xi'er, take good care of yourself. Aunt Gao will come to see you when she is free. Tomorrow I will have someone send some supplements to nourish your body. Girls are different from men. They still need to eat something to nourish yin and replenish qi and blood every day."

"I see."

Madam Gao touched Jian Xi's hair and said, "I'll have someone send some of the best bird's nests and red dates over tomorrow. I have a lot of things to take care of at home, so you can rest and recover. We'll see each other many times in the future."

Mrs. Gao did not ask her what she had experienced, but just reassured her. This kind of care without asking for the reason was something she had never had before.

That night, Jian Xi slept well.

In the dream, she was still a little baby, being held in her mother's warm embrace, feeling very comfortable...

The next morning.

Jian Xi slept in for a rare time, and with the support of Zicui Xiaoshuang, she sat in the cubicle in the room to eat.

"Why are you eating this so early in the morning?"

A bowl of red bean and bird's nest porridge, with chicken and fish mixed with various medicinal herbs, and only two side dishes that were relatively light.

"These are what Dr. Guo said. She said that the girl is growing up and her diet is too monotonous, so her body lacks Qi and blood. She even wrote a few medicinal recipes for the girl to eat more."

Jian Xi took the bird's nest porridge with a bitter face and ate it without any appetite.

She really doesn't like to eat these things.

It's quite unpleasant, but it's always right to listen to the doctor.

He sighed and took a few more bites. The meat tasted light and within the acceptable range.

Her daily diet is mostly vegetarian. Fifteen is the age when she needs to supplement nutrition, and she can't let herself down.

Eat it even if it tastes bad!

After dinner, the Gao family sent a steady stream of supplements, and all the servants in the yard had become immune.

The flowers in the yard were in full bloom, and Jian Xi had her rattan chair moved to the yard to bask in the sun.

"Zicui, did those people go back yesterday?"

"Yes, young lady, I have already told Mother Xing the whole story. Those people are all reliable. After they were beaten and rewarded with silver, they definitely dare not go out and talk nonsense.

Xiao Shuang only said to the public that the girl fell down in the Jade Buddha Temple and was scratched, but it was not serious. "

Jian Xi nodded, "Well done. I remember I bought two jade and gold hairpins before the New Year. You can go get them later, one for you and Xiao Shuang. You are grown up now, so you should have some jewelry to keep in your wardrobe."

She was very satisfied with the performance of the two this time. Good performance should be rewarded so that others can work harder.

The two jade and gold hairpins were made of white jade with green background, and were shaped like crabapple flowers. They were extremely heavy, with the gold alone costing fifty taels of silver. The most difficult part was the craftsmanship, as they were made by a retired master craftsman from the Neizao Company.

"Yes, thank you, young lady." Zi Cui knew that the jade hairpin would be a treasured item even as a dowry. What girl doesn't like jewelry, so she was naturally happy about it.

As soon as Gao Yunhuai returned yesterday, he sorted out a lot of miscellaneous notes, many of which were unique copies, and they recorded the local customs and experiences of various places, or delicacies, or folk customs...

I'm just taking some time off to recuperate, so reading this is just the right way to kill time.

"Miss, Manager Qi is here to deliver something."

Four servants lifted the box at the four corners, and they all put in all their strength, trying their best. This scene attracted many maids who were sweeping the yard.

Jian Xi was lazy and not very interested.

"What did you send?"

Since he knew she was going to get married, Lei Zi had people send something to her every few days.

After opening the box, several maids exclaimed:

"It's a stone!"

Qiangwei saw it and scolded with a smile: "What an ignorant little hoof! This is not stone, it's jade. There's a whole box full of white jade, topaz, jadeite, Lantian jade... You're really generous. You can make a lot of jewelry from this big box."

"Put it away and store it. When you have time, find someone to make some bracelets and hairpins for you."

She knew Lei Zi's thoughts, so she turned around and asked Xiang Qiangwei, "When will Caiyun come out?"

Qiangwei put down the pen in her hand and calculated the days. "It's only these two days. The Dragon Boat Festival is over. Every year, the Madam sends a group of people out. When the time comes, I will have to ask Miss for help to find someone to bring Caiyun back."

The maids in the palace had to redeem themselves and release their indentures by following the household registration of the men in their family. There was no one at Caiyun's house, so she still had to rely on Jian Xi's help.

"There's no need to tell me all this. Brother Lei Zi has already arranged it. I'm afraid he's more anxious than me." Jian Xi covered her mouth and chuckled.

"By the way, please ask Sister Qiangwei to pick out the best jades from the box of jade he just sent over, and find a master craftsman outside to make a set of jewelry. Also, ask Mother Xing to prepare twelve loads of dowry for Caiyun. I will also give her another five hundred taels of silver as a deposit, and let her marry from my house over in Songzi Lane."

Caiyun will be alone after leaving the palace, so she needs to get married as soon as possible, as it is inconvenient for a woman to live outside.

"Yes."

Mother Xing has been taking care of Jian Xi's dowry recently and has been busy all day long.

Caiyun’s dowry doesn’t need to be complicated, many things are ready-made.

Xiao Shuang brought a pot of rose tea, "Miss, you should be more relaxed. There are some things you don't need to worry about, and some people won't appreciate your kindness."

Jian Xi glanced sideways, "Hey! Who made our Xiao Shuang unhappy? Tell me and I'll vent your anger for you."

This was the first time I saw Xiaoshuang, who was usually well-behaved, speak so harshly.

Zi Cui waved her hands hurriedly, fearing that Xiao Shuang would say something to make Jian Xi sad.
