"How do you sell the hairband?" Su Cheng asked.

"Two taels," said the peddler.

"So expensive?" Su Chengdao, "You won't be killing me, will you?"

In the countryside, a headband only costs three or four copper coins!

The peddler explained: "These are real pearls, and one piece costs about a hundred copper coins!"

Su Cheng never used clothes and outfits worth more than one hundred copper coins.

He took out his money bag, counted the few scattered pieces of silver, gritted his teeth and bought it.

...

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Su Xiaoxiao ended today's treatment.

Fu Lang was sweating all over, not because he was tired, but because he was scared.

When he watched Su Xiaoxiao insert an unknown thing into the old Hou Ye's nose, he was completely frightened.

Afterwards, she gave Old Hou Ye a needle in a flash. Those acupuncture points were so dangerous that he wouldn't even dare to touch them on weekdays.

You have to have a strong heart to go out with this girl.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door: "You can come in."

Su Mo took a long breath, and while entering the room, suppressed his nervousness and asked, "How is my grandfather?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The poison is almost cured, but it is not completely out of danger."

Su Mo looked solemn: "What kind of poison..."

"I don't know." Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

Su Mo: I don't know how you solved it?

He glanced at his grandfather on the bed.

He was not a doctor, and he could tell that his grandfather's complexion was not so ugly, and his breathing became much smoother. It seemed that he was not in so much pain, and his frowning brows relaxed a bit.

"What did you put in my grandfather's nose?"

"Nasal feeding tube, for medicine."

Su Mo looked suspicious.

He glanced at the small medicine box on the table again, and it wasn't the bottles and cans that doctors usually put in, but some...things that he couldn't name at all.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the small medicine box calmly.

Su Mo withdrew his gaze: "Since the poison is cured, why is my grandfather still awake?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The poison is cured, but the patient is still sick."

you have-

Su Mo took a deep breath, forget it, his grandfather is indeed sick...

No, why does this sound so wrong?

"Your grandfather suffers from heart disease." Su Xiaoxiao tried to use words that Su Mo could understand.

Su Mo was slightly confused: "Isn't it the wind-cold and spleen-stomach disorder?"

When my grandfather was nauseated and vomited before, the imperial physician made the diagnosis like this.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "The patient's early symptoms are indeed easily misdiagnosed as wind-cold and spleen-stomach disorder."

Su Mo said again: "But after taking the medicine, it did get better—"

Su Xiaoxiao asked unhurriedly: "Didn't your diet be particularly light during the days when you took the medicine?"

Su Mo looked at the boy at the door.

The boy entered the room and said, "Yes."

"That's right," Su Xiaodao said, "Traditional Chinese medicine needs to be avoided, and the patient's illness is also related to the diet. The taste is lighter, and the burden on the body is less, so it will naturally feel better. However, the patient only improved slightly, and did not Completely cured, right?"

The little servant said in a low voice: "Ah, yes."

Su Mo took a deep look at Su Xiaoxiao. If she hadn't had any contact with the Hou Mansion, he would have suspected that she knew about her grandfather's condition in advance.

"You learned well from Doctor Fu."

He speaks clearly and logically, not at all like an apprentice who has never been a teacher.

Fu Langzhong coughed.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't change her face: "Oh, let's work together. Remember that the air in the room should be circulated more, and don't cover the doors and windows so tightly, it is not good for the patient's condition."

Su Mo frowned subconsciously. She spoke one patient at a time, and she was completely separated from the Hou family.

If it was said that he had some doubts at first, then at this moment, he really felt that the little girl's coming to the capital had nothing to do with recognizing her relatives.

Old Hou Ye was not out of danger, Fu Lang stayed to take care of him, Su Xiaoxiao went back first.

Su Mo has no objection to this.

If the apprentice Su Xiaoxiao stayed, he would be worried.

...

Coming out of the Hou Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao took the Hou Mansion's carriage back to Lihua Lane.

The three little ones had been waiting at the door early, when Su Xiaoxiao got off the carriage, the three of them threw their small arms into Su Xiaoxiao's arms.

They got tired of being together every day during this journey, and they were no longer used to being separated from Su Xiaoxiao.

The three of them were so wronged that they buried their faces in her arms and refused to get up.

Su Xiaoxiao moved the heads of the three of them amusedly: "Are you so wronged?"

The three nodded.

In fact, they were so wronged not only because they couldn't see their mother when they woke up——

Xiaohu waved his small hand and complained: "Grandpa bought Tangfu (gourd) gourd, it's not delicious!"

He didn't remember being pushed to the ground, he only remembered that the candied haws were not tasty.

Erhu also said: "Your teeth are sour."

Dumb didn't say a word, he secretly hid the candy and ate it with the candy, it wasn't sour.

Papa Su came over: "Isn't this also for your own good? Children can't eat too much sugar."

The two tigers complained: "Then you can't buy hawthorn."

Father Su cleared his throat: "Hey, do you still know Hawthorn?"

"Grandma Du has it." Erhu met Goddess Du there.

Hawthorn is cheap, you can buy several for two pennies, but the most expensive thing is sugar.

The behavior of digging and searching was exposed, but Father Su was still confident: "Children just can't eat candy!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't dismantle her father's stand, and said to the three little ones: "Grandpa is right, you really should eat less sugar, otherwise the big tiger and the two tigers will have bad teeth like the little tiger."

When they heard that there would be bad teeth, the three of them covered their small mouths together.

Papa Su went to a nearby market to buy ingredients. Don't look at Papa Su's unfocused appearance all day long, the things he bought were of good quality and cheap.

Su Xiaoxiao seriously suspects that he is handsome——

Zhong Shan came here once, bringing charcoal and firewood.

He originally wanted to clean up the yard, but found that the yard was very neat and tidy.

Zhong Shan was stunned for a while, not sure if he was thinking about something or looking at someone.

When Su Xiaoxiao finished making a pot of pancakes and came out, he had already left silently.

Dinner is scallion cake and pimple soup, a bowl of steamed eggs, and a plate of fried Chinese cabbage.

Prices in the capital are too high, so Papa Su didn't buy meat.

The three little guys who love meat are also very sensible, and they didn't argue about eating meat.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Father, there is no need to save so much."

Su Chengruo said nonchalantly: "Hey, didn't you lose weight? We all eat meat in the room, how uncomfortable are you just watching? Besides, it's okay if you don't eat a meal."

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao went to the stove to wash the dishes.

Su Cheng dragged something and walked in.

"Here." He handed the things in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao.

"What?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The handkerchief was wrapped by Su Cheng himself, and the things on the street stall were not so particular.

Su Xiaoxiao dried her hands and took the things over. After opening the veil, she found that it was a red beaded headband. The beads were white, echoing the red color of the headband, and the color was very bright.

"It's not cheap, is it?"

This is a real pearl.

"It's not expensive, just two taels." Father Su said.

Isn't it expensive for two taels? You're the one with five copper coins left over.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say for a while.

He was reluctant to eat meat, but he was willing to spend two taels of silver to buy her a hair tie.

This father has always been very, very good to her.
