Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Joy of the Third Child 4

Everyone keeps talking about Xibao. Is Xibao some kind of delicacy?

He’s not the little chubby boy he used to be.

Feng Qingxue couldn’t help muttering a few words, but Guo Yan overheard and accused, "It must be because you haven’t taken good care of him; otherwise, how could Xibao have lost weight? My Xibao, who had finally grown so plump, has actually been starved skinny by his heartless parents. No, no, you should let me know before you leave, and I’ll buy some tasty treats for you to take back to Xibao and Fubao. The weather is getting hotter, and I wonder if the cream cakes I buy will go bad on the trip back." She almost seemed to be talking to herself with that last sentence.

Before Feng Qingxue could even voice her refusal, an elder with the appearance of an ’old man with a childlike face’ entered from outside, holding a coarse porcelain dish, "Yanzi, can I borrow some soy sauce!"

Guo Yan quickly stood up and said to Feng Qingxue, "Xiaoxue, this is my elder brother."

"Doctor Guo! Doctor Guo, hello, I’ve long heard of your great reputation." Feng Qingxue rose respectfully, bowed deeply, she had long admired the national master. That year when she went to the Capital, Wang Xinsheng had even asked her to meet Guo Ming, but she had never had the chance to see him.

Guo Ming took a few glances at Feng Qingxue, "Ah, such a pretty girl, with a promising facial appearance. Whose family is she from?"

"She’s from the Lu Jiang family," Guo Yan said with a smile, "I don’t believe Zhao Yong and Xiuying haven’t mentioned anything about the Jiang family."

Guo Ming suddenly realized, "Is it Lu Jiang who saved my son-in-law’s life several times? They have an especially lovable chubby baby, but it’s a pity I’ve only seen him in photos sent by Xiuying and never met him in person."

As he spoke, the old man reached out his unoccupied hand to help Feng Qingxue, accidentally grabbing her wrist. He pressed lightly, frowned immediately, and let go, "Quick, quick, sit down, Yanzi, tell this child to sit down and rest. Child, don’t you even know you’re pregnant? And yet you’re wandering all over the place."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than both Guo Yan and Feng Qingxue were startled, exclaiming in unison, "Pregnant?"

Feng Qingxue placed her hands on her lower abdomen, "I’m pregnant? Sir, I... "

"You’ve been pregnant for about twenty days. You’ve been overworked recently, and your pulse is a bit unstable. You need to rest, and don’t do any work," Guo Ming said, handing the dish toward Guo Yan, "Hurry up and pour some soy sauce for me, they’re waiting for it for cooking at home! If I’m late, your sister-in-law will surely give me a lump on the head! Later, I’ll write a prescription for a fetus-preserving formula and send you the medicine after making it—it should be fine after about ten doses."

Guo Yan hurried to pour the soy sauce, while Feng Qingxue thanked him profusely, pressing her own pulse, which was faint, elusive, and she could not confirm if it was a slippery pulse, thus she revered Guo Ming all the more.

Seeing her check her pulse, Guo Ming’s eyes brightened, "You study medicine?"

Feng Qingxue replied respectfully, "Yes, I only started studying medicine when I was eighteen or nineteen, and so far, I’ve only scratched the surface."

Seeing that his sister had already brought the soy sauce, Guo Ming took it in his hands and said to Feng Qingxue, "Don’t be too modest. I can tell from your manner that your medical skills are not bad, much better than those half-baked doctors."

Guo Yan said with a smile, "Xiaoxue is very talented and usually learns a bit from one person and a bit from another, only lacking a proper mentor."

Guo Ming glanced at her, "Wait until I come to bring you the medicine after lunch, and let me test you."

Did he, Guo Ming, take apprentices that easily? Was it so simple to cross the threshold of Guo Ming’s door? Without talent, you wouldn’t even have the chance to listen to his lectures.

... It’s the beginning of the month, and everyone has monthly tickets. I’m eagerly asking for monthly tickets. Currently, I have manuscripts saved, and there will be a big explosive update on the seventeenth.
