The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 345: Proper Etiquette

Early the next morning, Prefect Xu sent a government official. He seemed to know that Lin Shuo would definitely follow, so he sent over two carriages.

The government official signaled for Lin Shuo to get into another carriage, but Lin Shuo shook his head and sat on the shaft of the carriage that Yun Jiao was in.

The journey was long, and he was worried that if anything happened, there wouldn’t be time to protect Doctor Gu.

Prefect Xu was very thorough in his arrangements and had sent a fast horse ahead to the Zhang family.

By the time Yun Jiao’s carriage arrived, the family head of the Zhang family was standing outside with several sons and grandsons, waiting to welcome the Divine Doctor Gu.

When Yun Jiao got out of the carriage, they were not surprised. After all, this place was not far from Xiang City, and their family had been asking around for good doctors. A few days ago, they heard about Yun Jiao’s reputation and were deliberating whether to invite her.

They didn’t expect Prefect Xu to bring her directly to them.

The head of the Zhang family was the old man’s youngest son.

The elderly man had four sons and two daughters, and the others had already passed away, leaving only this youngest son.

The youngest son was still relatively young, only in his fifties.

Regarding the doctor personally invited by the magistrate, the family head was very respectful. After greeting, he said, "Doctor Gu, it’s been a long journey for you. It’s around lunchtime now, so why don’t we have a meal first before you see my father."

Yun Jiao nodded, "Very well."

She and Lin Shuo were invited to the hall, where a round table was already set. The servants quickly began serving dishes, clearly prepared in advance.

The family head and his eldest grandson personally accompanied them at the banquet. During the meal, the family head looked at a dish of steamed pork belly and sighed, "My father loved to eat steamed pork belly the most, but he hasn’t eaten it in years."

Yun Jiao asked, "Why is that?"

The family head replied, "The doctor said my father is too old to eat such greasy food, as it’s hard to digest. So, in recent years, he has been mainly vegetarian." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Upon hearing this, Yun Jiao sighed, thinking these doctors were reckless.

Elderly people have poor physiological functions, and the more so, the more they need to supplement with high-quality protein. Otherwise, where would the body’s energy come from?

However, at this moment, she didn’t say much and decided to wait until she saw the old man.

Yun Jiao quickly finished her meal, rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, then said, "It’s been delayed long enough, let’s quickly see the elderly gentleman."

The family head personally led Yun Jiao to the back courtyard, with Lin Shuo following behind.

The family had many descendants, and the courtyards were connected. The main courtyard in the middle of the second courtyard was the residence of the elderly gentleman.

When Yun Jiao entered, there were three grandsons attending to the patient beside the sickbed.

In temperatures around thirty degrees, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and not a breath of wind could enter.

However, the rare thing was that the room did not have any unpleasant odor, considering that a bedridden elderly person’s room would inevitably have the smell of excrement and urine, it showed that this family indeed took good care of the elderly man.

Yun Jiao looked around and pointed to a distant window, saying, "Open that window for ventilation."

The elderly man’s grandson looked embarrassedly at the family head.

The family head nodded, "This is Divine Doctor Gu specially invited by the Magistrate, so listen to Divine Doctor Gu."

The servant went and opened the window.

Yun Jiao said, "I know you’re worried that the elderly would catch a cold from the wind, but with such heat, keeping the windows closed isn’t good either. Aside from early morning and evening when they can be closed, during the day, make sure the wind doesn’t blow directly on the elderly."

The family head said, "Remember Doctor Gu’s words."

Only then did Yun Jiao walk over to the elderly man’s bed.
