Chapter 271 Seeing a doctor (2 more>
"Madam Yao's complexion is pale, and she may suffer from Qi and blood deficiency." Xue Yu looked at Chu Zhuang and said worriedly.
Hearing this, Chu Zhuang frowned and asked Xue Qing to come over with him, mainly to check Yao Pingzhi's parents. Who knows, the two old people found out that there was something wrong with Li Jingzhu's body before they saw it.
"Is it serious?" Chu Zhuang asked, pursing his lips tightly.
If something happened to Li Jingzhu, it would definitely be a very big blow to Yao Pingzhi.
"It's hard to say, we have to see the pulse before making a decision." Xue Yu shook his head and said.
Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, pondered for a while and said, "I'll find an opportunity to raise this issue with my teacher."
If you are sick, you still have to treat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will become more and more serious, and eventually it will become an incurable disease.
Xue Qing nodded in response, and did not continue to say more.
"I don't have any good tea at home, so don't hold it against me!"
Li Jingzhu came up with hot tea and served tea to everyone.
"Master is tired." Chu Zhuang quickly took the tea, and asked Bai Dali to hand over the gift they had prepared.
"Master's wife is here, why be so polite, take it back quickly!" Li Jingzhu refused to accept it.
"Master, these are special products we brought over from Ming County, and it's also a wish from us, so don't refuse." Chu Zhuang said with a smile.
When Li Jingzhu heard that Chuzhuang and the others had brought them from Ming County, she did not refuse and took the gift.
"Sit down, treat this as your own home, don't be polite."
Seeing that everyone had sat down, Li Jingzhu said to Chu Zhuang with a smile: "Pingzhi praised you as a student in the letter, and now I see you, you are indeed a good-looking talent."
"The teacher is absurd, it's all thanks to the teacher's careful teaching." Chu Zhuang smiled and cupped his hands and said humbly.
Yao Pingzhi's help to Chu Zhuang is not insignificant. Without the books and notes on the scientific examination compiled by Yao Pingzhi, Chu Zhuang would not dare to go to Dongfeng Mansion to take the imperial examination now.
Several people exchanged pleasantries, Chu Zhuang and Xue Yu looked at each other, and they nodded slightly.
Chu Zhuang looked at Li Jingzhu and took the initiative to bring up the topic of seeing a doctor: "Master, this is Dr. Xue. He is very skilled in medicine. He happened to come to visit now. How about asking Dr. Xue to diagnose Ping'an pulse for Mrs.?"
Xue Qing nodded slightly at the side, and only by taking a pulse can he be able to confirm Li Jingzhu's physical condition.
"This……"
Although Li Jingzhu felt that Chu Zhuang's proposal was a bit abrupt, but when she thought that she was not feeling well recently, she nodded after thinking about it: "Then I will trouble Dr. Xue."
"It's just a little effort." Xue Qing waved his hand.
The two sat at the table for diagnosis, Xue Qing took a long time to put his hand back, his face was a little dignified.
"Doctor Xue, do I have any questions?" Li Jingzhu asked worriedly, looking at Xue Qing's expression, with a vague premonition in her heart.
"Mrs. Yao, you are overworked and worrying too much, and your energy and blood are seriously depleted." Xue Qing frowned.
If this continues, Li Jingzhu's body will not be able to bear it for a long time, and she will collapse completely.
Li Jingzhu smiled wryly when she heard the words. There are old parents who need to be taken care of at home. Yao Pingzhi has been released as an official all year round. She is the only support for the whole family. How can he not be tired or worry.
Chu Zhuang glanced at Li Jingzhu's hands, which were full of calluses, and it was obvious that they had been working all year round.
Yao Pingzhi is an upright official, but his annual salary is quite a lot. I dare not say that he is very rich, but at least he can support his family.
As far as Chu Zhuang knew, Yao Pingzhi was very frugal on weekdays, and most of his money was sent back to Dongfeng Mansion to support his family. Why did they live so poorly?
Chu Zhuang frowned, full of doubts in his heart, but these things were too private, and he couldn't ask Li Jingzhu.
"The old man prescribes a prescription, and the lady takes the medicine on time to take care of her body, but the most important thing is to take care of her body and relax her mind.
Xue Qing asked Bai Dali to bring the prescription, took a pen to write down the prescription, and handed the prescription to Li Jingzhu.
"More Doctor Xue."
Li Jingzhu and Doctor Xue thanked each other, and were going to take out their wallets to give Xue Qing the medicine money.
"Mrs. Yao, what are you doing!" Xue Qing quickly refused, "These are medicinal materials picked by myself, they are worthless, please take them back, Madam."
How can he collect money when he comes here as a guest to see a doctor?
If the money was taken, who would he be?
"Master, you are treating us as outsiders." Chu Zhuang shook his head and said disapprovingly.
Even if he wants to give money, he can't let Li Jingzhu pay this money!
He came here to take good care of his family for Yao Pingzhi, how could he let them do nothing now?
"This……"
Li Jingzhu sighed, seeing Chu Zhuang and Xue Qing's firm attitude, he could only put away the purse, and said gratefully: "Then thank you, Doctor Xue."
"Ma'am, you don't have to be so polite."
Xue Qing waved his hand, took out the medicinal materials from the medicine box, wrapped them up, handed them to Li Jingzhu, and said: "Ma'am, this medicine must be taken
Take it on time and don't work too hard. "
"Okay, Doctor Xue, I understand." Li Jingzhu nodded in agreement.
Now this family is supported by her, she can't fall down!
"By the way, Doctor Xue, you are very skilled in medicine. May I trouble you to take a look at the old parents?" Li Jingzhu looked at Xue Yu and asked.
Yao Pingzhi mentioned in the letter that Xue Yu's medical skills are excellent, if he comes to the door, let him take a look at the old parents, so Li Jingzhu made this request at this time.
"No trouble, please ask Madam to lead us there!" Xue Yu immediately agreed upon hearing this.
Even if Li Jingzhu didn't mention this matter, they would take the initiative to bring it up.
Li Jingzhu didn't delay, and immediately led Xue Yu and the others to Mrs. Yao's room.
Because Mrs. Yao is sick now, in order not to infect each other, Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao slept in separate rooms.
The doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, and as soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine could be smelled inside.
"Ma'am, are the doors and windows closed all year round?" Xue Qing frowned, looked at Li Jingzhu and asked.
"That's right, the doctor said before that the old man can't blow the air, and his father was sick again, so he closed the doors and windows." Li Jingzhu explained.
"The air often doesn't circulate, which is not good for people's health." Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said.
Although Chu Zhuang didn't know much about medical skills, he still understood the basic common sense.
"Mr. Chu is right. You can't blow the air, but the room still needs to be ventilated regularly." Xue Qing agreed.
"Is that so? I will pay attention to it in the future!" Li Jingzhu wrote it down seriously.
"Father, the students Chu Zhuang and Doctor Xue mentioned in the letter are here." Li Jingzhu knocked on the door and said loudly.Mrs. Yao is getting old, if he doesn't talk loudly in the house, he can't hear at all.
"Ahem, come in." Mrs. Yao coughed and responded in the room.
"Let's go in."
Li Jingzhu led Chu Zhuang and Xue Yu to the back room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Mrs. Yao lying on the hospital bed, with a haggard face, holding hands tremblingly, wanting to get up from the bed
.
"Father, slow down!"
Li Jingzhu's face was full of worry, and he took two quick steps, helped Mrs. Yao up from the bed, and took a pillow and smeared it on his back, so that he could sit more comfortably.
"Master Yao."
Xue Qing and Chu Zhuang walked to the bed and saluted Mrs. Yao respectively.
Old Master Yao waved his hands and said, "There's no need to be too polite, Jingzhu, quickly take a stool and let them sit on it!"
Li Jingzhu took two stools and placed them beside the bed so that they could talk to Mrs. Yao.
"I've read Pingzhi's letter, and your poem about plums is very well written!" Mrs. Yao praised Chu Zhuang's hand loudly.Judging by his appearance, although he is sick now, he seems to be in good spirits.
Chu Zhuang said a few words with Mr. Yao, but he didn't forget the business, he offered to say: "Master, this is Dr. Xue, he is very good at medicine, let him show you!"
Old Master Yao not only did not refuse, but also hastily passed his hand to Xue Qing and said, "Show me! I am not sick, but that quack doctor deliberately prescribes medicine for me to take! Cough cough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed twice.
"Father, you have coughed like this, why are you still not sick!" Li Jingzhu said helplessly.
Helpless, Mrs. Yao didn't listen to Li Jingzhu's words at all, insisting that he was not sick.
"Ma'am, don't worry, let me take a look first."
Xue Yu held Old Master Yao's hand and began to diagnose him carefully.
"How long has Mrs. Yao been unwell?" After a long while, Xue Qing retracted his hand and asked.
"It's been more than a month, and the medicine has been taken every day, but the condition has not improved." Li Jingzhu sighed.
"Can you show me the prescription?" Xue Qing frowned and asked.
"Okay, Doctor Xue, please wait a moment." Li Jingzhu turned and left to get the medicine first.
"I'm not sick, am I not sick?! Cough, cough, cough!" Grandpa Yao couldn't help coughing loudly as soon as he finished yelling.
Chu Zhuang hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and patted him on the back, finally stopped coughing.
"Here comes the medicine, Doctor Xue, take a look."
Li Jingzhu came over with the prescription and medicine, and handed them to Xue Qing.
Xue Yu took it, looked at the prescription, his face became ugly, he looked through the ingredients again, and sighed helplessly: This medicine is not suitable for Old Master Yao. "
"How could it be?" Li Jingzhu turned pale, looked at the medicine on the table and said, "This medicine was prescribed by Doctor Zhang, and it costs ten silver coins a pair! In the past, when my father was sick, he could take a few pieces, but this time I haven't recovered after eating for a month, this..."
"This medicine is too tonic, not suitable for elderly people to drink."
Xue Yu shook his head and explained: "Besides, Mrs. Yao is indeed not sick. It's just autumn dryness, so her throat is dry and itchy. Drink more water and it will be fine."
This medicine will have a bad effect on Old Master Yao's body.
It's just that the latter sentence, Xue Qing looked at Li Jingzhu's face, but still didn't say it, lest she feel too guilty.
Chu Zhuang looked at Li Jingzhu, then looked at the medicine on the table, changed hands and poured a glass of water for Mrs. Yao, and then asked, "Master, who is this Dr. Zhang? Has he come to treat Mrs. Yao?" ?”
Why does this doctor sound so unreliable? It looks like a quack doctor is cheating money.
Chu Zhuang now knows why Yao Pingzhi sent all his salary back, but Yao's family is still so poor, it's a shame that all the money was cheated by this quack doctor.
