The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 349: Likes to Admire Beautiful Women
Yun Jiao changed the topic, "This courtyard surprisingly has gardenia flowers, such a lovely scent."
Lin Shuo strode over, picked a few gardenia flowers, and handed them to Yun Jiao, "Place them by your bed; smelling their fragrance at night will bring sweet dreams."
Yun Jiao accepted them with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Lin."
Lin Shuo chuckled, "I’m just borrowing the flowers to pay homage."
The two stood in the courtyard, enjoying the breeze and chatting for a while before heading back to their respective rooms.
Back in her room, Yun Jiao ground ink and by lamplight wrote a list of precautions for the elderly gentleman.
Mainly about diet, what can be eaten, what can’t, roughly how much, detailed enough to make a daily menu.
In the morning, Yun Jiao had everything packed up and ready.
A maid from the Zhang family brought breakfast, and after Yun Jiao finished, she took the girl with her to the elderly gentleman’s courtyard.
The elderly man was half-lying in bed, with a grandson feeding him millet porridge.
Upon seeing Yun Jiao arrive, the elderly man’s eyes lit up, and he muttered something unintelligibly.
The grandson didn’t catch it and asked, "Grandpa, what did you say?"
Yun Jiao giggled, "The old man thinks you are clumsy and wants a maid to feed him porridge instead."
The old man slowly nodded, "Yes, yes."
The grandson was quite surprised, "Doctor Gu, your ears are excellent; I didn’t hear it clearly."
Yun Jiao thought to herself that she was half-guessing too.
Didn’t you see the old man smiling at the little maid nearby?
Liking pretty girls is a nature of men; apart from looking, the elderly man can’t do much else. Better to let him look, after all, it keeps him happy.
The young maid took the porridge bowl and finished feeding half a bowl of millet porridge.
At this time, the family head’s eldest grandson and others came to pay their respects as well.
Once Yun Jiao waited for the family’s formalities to be done, she sat by the bed to check the elderly man’s pulse.
The pulse was slightly stronger than the previous day and faster.
Yun Jiao withdrew her hand and smiled at the elderly man, "Take good care these few days, and you should be able to walk around."
The elderly man understood and grinned a toothless smile at Yun Jiao, again mumbling a thank you.
Yun Jiao got up and handed her list of precautions to the family head, reminding, "It’s hot now, don’t let the elderly wear too many clothes to avoid heatstroke."
"Also, don’t let the elderly catch a chill."
Given the elderly’s health, even a minor illness, even just a cold, could take him away.
If there are no sicknesses or disasters, he might still hang on for a while.
The family head briefly looked through Yun Jiao’s list, solemnly placed the paper in his sleeve pocket, and thanked Yun Jiao profusely.
Yun Jiao took the chance to bid farewell.
The family head pondered, the elderly man’s condition seemed somewhat improved, mainly his spirit better, having eaten a bit of porridge both last night and this morning, which is much better than usual.
Evidently, Yun Jiao indeed has genuine skills.
The family head longed to keep Yun Jiao, preferably until July, after the elderly man’s birthday, but he knew that wasn’t possible.
She is a famous doctor, very busy.
The family head hurriedly had someone bring over the already prepared two hundred taels of silver as consultation fee.
Yun Jiao didn’t take it, and Lin Shuo, acting as a servant, received the fee.
Then, the family head had someone bring over a hemp sack and smiled, "I noticed Doctor Gu likes eating wild chicken; early this morning we had someone catch a few on the mountain, take these home for Doctor Gu to enjoy."
It must be said, the family head indeed does things thoughtfully, no wonder his household flourishes.
This pleases Yun Jiao even more than the two hundred taels of silver.
