Chapter 753: Losing Face While Dividing Money (2)_1
This day, Mo Yan stayed in the small room next to the kitchen, cradling a book as she warmed herself around the brazier when Tang Xin entered with two ledgers in hand, "Sister Yanyan, here are the accounts I just reconciled. Could you see if there are any issues?"
"Hmm, let me take a look," Mo Yan said as she put down her letter and reached for the ledgers. Her fingertips unintentionally touched Tang Xin’s hand, which felt ice-cold, and she frowned, "It’s so cold; don’t you have a fire going?"
The girl was economizing on charcoal expenditure due to the recent uptick in usage. During the day, she’d work over the ledgers, and at night, sleep without kindling her room’s brazier. After being admonished about this several times, she still didn’t comply. In such chilly weather, what if she fell ill from the cold!
"I, I forgot!" Tang Xin, with a flushed face, awkwardly retracted her hand, seeing Mo Yan’s disbelieving face, she quickly added, "I really did forget, my hands are always cold in winter, but it’s really not cold at all, truly!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s brows furrowed even tighter. She put down the ledger and asked Tang Xin to sit down while she checked her pulse.
Every time Mo Yan delivered herbs to Doctor Du, she would stay for several moments and learn how to feel the pulse from him. Being sharp-minded and willing to diligently learn, she picked up a smattering of knowledge in two months. She could diagnose simple conditions, albeit not with great precision. Even so, she had impressed Doctor Du tremendously, who proclaimed she had a gift, and not attending medical school would be a waste of talent.
After a while, Mo Yan withdrew her hand and said to the somewhat anxious Tang Xin, "Your pulse indicates stagnation and an aversion to cold, clear signs of a cold constitution. If you don’t seek treatment soon, you’ll suffer in the future!"
Tang Xin held Mo Yan in high esteem. Upon hearing this, her face turned pale, and she shivered as she asked, "S, Sister Yanyan, is it, is it serious?"
