Mom Han caressed Jiang Wan's forehead, unexpectedly feeling that her hand was very hot.

"Crap, from the looks of it, it was frozen last night." Mama Han touched her forehead again, and after confirming that Jiang Wan's body temperature was higher than normal, she said to Clove, "Quickly ask Jasmine to go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of ginger soup. You go and bring a pot of hot water, as well as the dried wormwood we brought before."

According to the rules of the Great Liang Dynasty, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day didn't require medical treatment. One reason was because it was a bad omen, the other was because most of the pharmacies were closed and didn't open their doors until the seventh day of the new year, and even if a doctor was willing to come out these days, the fee would be several times higher than usual.

Fortunately, she still knew a few soil formulas, so she wouldn't sit still and wait for death.

Hearing the order, Clove ran out. Not long later, she returned with a copper pot and a yellow paper bag in her arms.

Mama Han, who had already helped Jiang Wan back to bed, quickly walked over, took the copper pot and the yellow paper bag from Clove's hands, swiftly found a copper basin, poured hot water into it, and then put the half-full jar of wine into the basin.

"Lilac, hurry and take off your shoes. The bed. " Mama Han grabbed a handful of dried leaves from the yellow paper bag, wrapped them in a handkerchief and threw them into the wine jar.

When the yams wrapped in a handkerchief were completely soaked in wine, Mama Han fished it out, indicating for Clove to take off the clothes on Jiang Wan's body, revealing her fair body, which was only wearing the undergarment.

She used the wine-stained ball to rub down Jiang Wan's forehead, neck, chest, armpits, elbows and so on. Jiang Wan's originally fair skin was scraped by the stem of the wormwood leaf wrapped in the handkerchief, and it actually left behind some reddish scratches, and the room was filled with the smell of wormwood and alcohol.

"What's going on?" Just when the two of them were busy helping Jiang Wan cool down, Du Mom suddenly appeared in Jiang Wan's room.

Today was the first day of the new year, so née Qin and Jiang Chuanzhong specially sat early in the morning in Jun Yating's hall, waiting for the children and the servants to congratulate them. However, everyone in the room was present, leaving behind Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu.

Jiang Chuanzhong's expression turned ugly.

The Qin family quickly gave a look to Mother Du who was by their side, asking her to send a maid over to take a look.

Unexpectedly, while that young maid was still on her way, she met Jasmine who was going to the kitchen. After asking around, she found out that Jiang Wan was actually sick.

She quickly told the Qin family of this news, and the Qin family told her to come over and find out if Jiang Wan was really sick.

After busying herself for the whole morning, Mama Han was already sweating profusely. The moment she heard Mother Du's voice, she quickly gave the yams in her hands to Lingyun and instructed her to continue wiping Jiang Wan's body just like she did just now.

She turned around and looked at Mother Du with a troubled expression, "Last night, Fourth Miss felt that something wasn't quite right. I didn't expect it to burn up this morning. "It's not easy to find a doctor on the first day of the new year, so I could only use this recipe to help her cool down."

However, Mama Du had an expression of disbelief as she walked directly to the side of Jiang Wan's bed. Looking at her flushed face and extending her hand to probe her forehead, only then did she discover that her body temperature was indeed much higher than an ordinary person's.

"Mom Han, Jiang Tang is here." Jasmine, who had just returned from the kitchen, brought a bowl of steaming hot ginger soup over and said, "Hurry and let Fourth Miss drink it while it's hot."

Seeing the bustling people in the room, Mother Du also took her leave. When she returned to the Qin house, the servants who came to congratulate had already dispersed. Madam Qin was sitting on the brick bed in front of the window with a teacup, drinking tea.

"What did you say?" Is the Fourth Girl really sick? " Listening to Mother Du's report, née Qin looked up in surprise.

Today, the Qin family intentionally wore a bun made of peony and inserted a phoenix hairpin made of pure gold Ouroboros. They wore a pair of ruby pomegranate earrings and wore red, carved golden branches, green leaves, and a full skirt.

"Yeah, I even touched her head on purpose. It would be hot enough to cook an egg." Mother Du said with a bit of an exaggeration.

However, née Qin frowned and started to ponder. She had brought this Fourth Sister here specifically for her young mistress. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

"Mother Du, help me ask around and see if I can get a doctor." née Qin thought for a moment and said, "If it really doesn't work, then take the name scroll of the Crown Prince's Palace that Sister Er gave to you."

A look of surprise flashed in Mother Du's eyes. When did Madame ever care about her children so much?

However, she didn't say anything else and quickly retreated. She almost bumped into Brother Sheng, who was holding onto Jiang Chuanzhong's hand.

"What's going on? On the first day of the new year, you were in a hurry? " Jiang Chuanzhong carried Brother Sheng, who was wearing a new set of clothes, onto the fire brick bed as well. He asked Qin Guan, who was sitting on the other side of the fire brick bed.

"It's Fourth Little Girl," née Qin frowned. "I thought she was pretending to be ill last night, but she really was sick today. I told Mother Du to get someone to bring a doctor back."

"You!" Jiang Chuanzhong looked up at the Qin family. "Actually, everything is good. It's just that your heart is too heavy. How could a child pretend to be sick?" "But is she very ill?"

"I don't know about that. I'll have to wait for the doctor to come before I'll know." Mrs Qin was a little discouraged as she said, "In this month, inviting a doctor is several times more expensive than usual."

Jiang Chuanzhong shook his head with a smile, lowered his head, and played with Brother Sheng in his arms. He no longer spoke.

After what seemed like an hour, Mother Du brought in an old man and a young woman.

The old man looked to be a bit old, and his face already had the age mark that only an old man could have. He wore a pair of ocean glasses, and had a white goatee. He was lean and lean, giving off a sage-like air.

The young one looked to be around ten years old and was dressed in the attire of an apprentice. On his shoulder was a medical kit with the words "Return of Spring Hall" embroidered on it.

When the Qin family saw those three words, their faces turned green.

Those who had the slightest understanding of the capital knew that the Return of Spring Hall was the best medicine store in the capital. In the past, there had been five imperial physicians, one of whom had served as an envoy and two of whom had served as a judge.

It was for this reason that the daily visitors to their stores were so raucous that they had to send in numbers to see what was going on.

A hundred a day. No matter how much money he had, he wouldn't show it to anyone.

Thus, someone started to stir-fry the "doctor number" of the Return of Spring Hall. Reportedly, the highest bid went up to twenty silver taels.

That was the daily expenses a normal family would have to spend for decades!

He actually invited such an expensive person! Née Qin looked at Mother Du in a disapproving manner.
