Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 280 Hangover

Even though he drank hangover soup last night, He Pingdu still felt a splitting headache when he woke up the next day. The pain spread to his eye sockets.

He was an extremely self-disciplined person, and no one could make him drink as much as he did last night, so this was his first time trying this flavor.

Song Sanniang had already gotten up, and seeing him moving, she came over to see him.

I found that he was frowning with his eyes closed, pressing his temples hard with his hands, with a look of pain on his face.

She was very worried, so she touched his forehead and found that he didn't have a fever.

"Do you have a headache because you drank too much last night?"

He Pingdu opened his eyes with great effort and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, my head hurts."

Seeing him like this, Song Sanniang felt so distressed, "I'll ask the court doctor to come and see you."

He Pingdu held her hand and refused to let her go. "Stay with me."

He seemed like a naughty child, so Song Sanniang comforted him, "I'll ask someone to get the palace doctor, and he'll be back soon."

He Pingdu didn't say anything. Song Sanniang quickly asked someone to call the palace doctor. She poured him a cup of warm water.

"Rinse your mouth with water first, then drink some."

He Pingdu half sat up after hearing this, took the cup, rinsed his mouth with the water in it, and then spit into the copper basin held by Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang took away the copper basin that held the dirty water. He Pingdu had already finished drinking half a cup of warm water.

"Still drinking?" she asked.

"Drink some more."

Song Sanniang went to pour another cup. He drank half of it and stopped. He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to take a nap.

At this time, a report came from outside that the court doctor had arrived.

Song Sanniang asked someone to come in. The court doctor was an old man in his fifties. He came in carrying a medicine box with no expression on his face.

Song Sanniang didn't know his name, so she said directly, "Doctor, Mr. San drank too much yesterday and has a severe headache today. Can you take a look?"

The old doctor nodded, put down the medicine box, and then took He Pingdu's pulse. After taking his pulse, he asked him to open his eyes, looked at his eyes, and asked him to open his mouth to look at his tongue.

Then he said, "It's not a big problem. It's just that the alcohol I drank yesterday has not been excreted from my body.

It caused the wind-cold syndrome and caused the headache. I prescribed some medicine and asked someone to boil it and drink it. I think it will be better in the evening.

And drink more water to flush the alcohol out of your body."

Song Sanniang saw that He Pingdu closed his eyes again, looking very uncomfortable. She wondered if there were any painkillers here, so she thought about whether there were other ways to relieve the pain faster.

"Doctor, is there any faster way to relieve the pain? Look at the Third Master, he looks very uncomfortable."

The old doctor was invited after Mr. He returned to his hometown. He usually treated the old couple and occasionally treated other masters in the mansion for minor illnesses.

After hearing Song Sanniang's request, he looked at Mr. He who was lying on the bed and couldn't help but smile, "Mrs. San really loves Mr. San. In this case, I will give Mr. San acupuncture."

Song Sanniang had not thought that acupuncture could relieve pain, so she said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, doctor. Is there anything I can do?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "Acupuncture requires taking off clothes. Madam, do you want to help me take off my clothes or do I have to take them off myself?"

Song Sanniang didn't expect that the old doctor would joke like this, and she didn't feel shy. She poked He Pingdu and said, "Do you want to take it off yourself or do you want me to help you?"

He Pingdu couldn't act coquettishly with his wife when there were outsiders around, so he said seriously, "I'll take it off myself."

After saying that, he endured the headache, got up, took off his pajamas, and said to the old doctor, "Doctor Qin, come here."

Doctor Qin touched his abdominal muscles without hesitation and said, "Third Master, you have a great figure. I am so lucky, haha."

He Pingdu didn't expect to be teased by the old doctor. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even Song Sanniang beside him couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, the old doctor didn't say anything else. He asked He Pingdu to lie down, and then took out his acupuncture tools from the medicine box.

Song Sanniang looked at those long and thin silver needles, and her scalp went numb and she felt the pain.

She used to be afraid of injections, but seeing He Pingdu's calm expression, it shouldn't be painful.

Acupuncture wouldn't work that fast, and since he hadn't eaten yet, she asked someone to prepare some light porridge.

Then she asked someone to arrange for the decoction of medicine. She thought about cooking a delicious meal for him at noon.

"Do you want to eat anything for lunch? I'll make it for you." Song Sanniang asked.

He Pingdu opened his eyes upon hearing this, and said happily, "I want to eat the dried radish with white porridge that I had at Wuyou Manor. I remember we brought some back to the mansion this time."

"Okay, what else do you want to eat?" Song Sanniang felt that he would not be full after drinking porridge later.

"I also want to eat the taro cake and radish cake that I had before. I haven't eaten them for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he thought about how difficult it was to make these two dishes, so he said, "Forget it. These two dishes are difficult to make. Let the cook do it.

Just make some, I like whatever you make."

Doctor Qin couldn't help but smile as he listened to the young couple discussing things. He thought to himself that this guy had always been so arrogant when he saw him before, but he didn't expect that he would become like this after getting married. He would talk to Mr. He about it later and make him laugh.

After hearing what He Pingdu said, Song Sanniang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see what's in the kitchen and do it later."

When Doctor Qin finished giving He Pingdu acupuncture, He Pingdu began to sweat.

After seeing off Doctor Qin, He Pingdu felt that his headache was no longer so painful. However, seeing his wife running in and out for him, he felt very happy.

Although his family was rich and powerful, no one would stay by his side to take care of him when he was sick since he was a child. His father was busy, and his mother didn't seem to like him very much. She always looked at him with a vague look.

But two people would come to see him and give him gifts to make him happy, but there would not be anyone staying by his side all the time. If there was, they would be servants.

Every time he was sick, he hoped that his parents would stay for a little longer after seeing him, talk to him, and care about him more.

But every time he woke up, he would see Xiao Jinzi's surprised young master waking up, or other maids and old women.

As he grew older, he kept fit and rarely got sick, so these memories seemed to have faded from his mind.

Until now, looking at the serious little face wiping the sweat off his body, he smiled, with a little moisture in his eyes.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't need it anymore. He has someone with him now. She will take care of him when he is sick. He suddenly hugged the person in front of him and sighed with satisfaction.

Song Sanniang discovered that when He Pingdu was sick, he would act like a child, but she liked him being like this because it showed him his soft side.

The medicine was ready by then. Xiao Jinzi brought it personally. Xiao Jinzi had been with the master for so many years, and the master rarely got sick. This time he suddenly wanted to ask for a doctor, so Xiao Jinzi was naturally worried.

"Master, are you okay?" Xiao Jinzi asked worriedly.

"It's just that I drank too much last night and I have a headache today. It's just that your wife was too worried and asked the palace doctor to run around."

He Pingdu's tone sounded normal, but Xiao Jinzi had been with him for so long that she could tell that he was showing off that his wife cared about him.

Thinking of how the master and his wife looked like after they were together, Xiao Jinzi could only accept his boasting silently.

"Master, take the medicine."
