Chapter 2218 Light Gate Lintel 18
You don't need to listen to know what they are talking about. One is an astronomical consultation fee of five taels of silver, and the other is an even more outrageous consultation fee of five hundred taels.
Zhang Yuanwai had a rather surprised expression, and then glanced at Xining standing in front, and after a while he turned to look at Zhang Cheng: "Okay?"
Seeing Zhang Yuanwai's appraising eyes and distrustful look, Xining put his hands behind his back, held out his chest, held his head high, squinted his eyes, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Since you're here, let's go and have a look." , the way your ancestral graves are smoking.
This is called Fan. He is younger than he is, but he must be full of momentum.
Zhang Cheng could only say: "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we have to go to the county seat to find it."
The concubine next to her smiled and said softly with a little bit of a pinch in her voice: "Since you are the one who hangs the pot door, I will definitely not destroy the sign. Let them take a look. If it is not good, even if you don't pay, you will be kicked out." .”
The principal sitting next to him rolled his eyes at the concubine.
Why don't you give me money? Liu Yulang became very angry: "There is no consultation fee for visiting the doctor, and I don't care about anything. Let's go, I won't see you anymore!" I happened to be back for this consultation. This girl should have no problem rubbing two pills. According to the book That's fine. Seeing a doctor requires real skills.
"Hey~" Xining raised a hand to stop him and held his head high: "No, I have the confidence. If I can't see, there is no need for consultation fee."
Zhang Yuanwai then said: "Zhang Cheng, then take it with you to see it."
Even the honorific "sir" is no longer used, which shows the degree of neglect.
Xi Ning is not angry about this. Five taels of silver is equivalent to half a year's expenses for an ordinary household. Even if you have a thousand taels of silver notes in your pocket, there will be many ways to use the money in the future.
Zhang Cheng took them back to the back house and to the west wing.
When the woman waiting at the door saw someone coming, she immediately knelt down and saluted: "Manager Zhang, these two gentlemen must be here."
"Well, bring it in." Zhang Cheng returned to his businesslike appearance, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking up to the sky.
"Please, gentlemen." Although the mother-in-law looked at them several times, she still invited them in politely.
The carved wooden door was pushed open, and candles were brightly lit inside. The maid sitting by the bed inside saw someone coming and immediately got up.
The green silk bed curtains tightly cover the gaps in the carved four-poster bed. There is a round stool in front of the bed. This stool has not been removed. It seems that there are many people coming.
Xining walked over directly and sat on the stool: "Pull up the curtain."
According to the rules, young ladies are not suitable to meet people. But this gentleman is a woman and young.
The maid looked at Liu Yulang standing behind and hesitated.
Xining took a real look and said: "When seeing a doctor, you can't hide the disease and avoid medical treatment. Take a pulse first."
From the soft gauze tent, a lotus root-like arm stretched out. On the wrist was a green jade bracelet with good water quality, which complemented the fair complexion.
Xining put his fingers together and immediately frowned.
The maid suddenly became nervous: "Sir, what is Miss's disease? Does it matter?" They all said they were not afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor and smiled, but they were afraid that the Chinese medicine doctor would have a low profile, which made them frown.
What the hell! Xining felt like he was really gone, thunder was rolling from the sky.
There seems to be a ball sliding back and forth under the finger, which is a proper happy pulse. The young lady who has not yet left the palace is actually pregnant, and her pulse is stable. She should be in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
No wonder the old man who was kicked out just now was so angry that he was shaking all over. But he stopped mid-sentence and told Liu Yulang to wish for more blessings. This is the moral quality of doctors, and patients' privacy cannot be disclosed. If we say it openly, no one in the rich and powerful family would dare to hire a doctor who talks about it.
Xining felt confident, stood up, and walked out: "Go to the front hall first." Zhang Cheng, who was waiting outside the door, led the way back to the living room.
After Xining entered, he first sat down on the right side.
Liu Yulang saw this and sat on the second chair. He is the leader after all, and the junior sisters are all sitting down, so there should be a place for him to sit here.
Zhang Yuanwai was a little surprised, but he still asked as usual: "Sir, what's wrong with the little girl?"
Xining leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes and pretending to be serious.
After seeing it, the lady opposite thought for a moment and ordered: "Serve tea!"
The tea was served right away. It had been hanging aside for a long time. In wealthy households, strong tea is brewed first. When guests come, the strong tea is poured into other cups, and then hot water is poured in, so that the tea can be drunk immediately. .
At this time, there was no tea set with a lid. Xining picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said: "Your love has a slippery pulse. I think it is caused by phlegm-dampness, phlegm retention, and stagnant food."
< br>
When the principal heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it true?" The concubine's eyes widened in disbelief: "Many gentlemen came and said it was..."
The principal immediately couldn't sit still, stood up, pointed at his nose and cursed: "What a fox, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here? I am a doctor at Xuanhumen. If you have such ability, why don't you become a doctor?" Female, but here I am a concubine!”
The concubine was scolded so much that she didn't dare to speak, her eyes were red, and she looked at Zhang Yuanwai aggrievedly.
Zhang Yuanwai was also quite surprised: "Is it really true?"
Nonsense, you already know what it is, and you call all the doctors who come here as quacks and drive them out.
"Not necessarily, it should be more serious. Sometimes if there is a tumor in the abdominal cavity, it will also be a slippery pulse. This slippery pulse is more like a happy pulse and is often misdiagnosed." Xining cupped his hand: "So please tell me, my dear mother. Let’s go together and get diagnosed.”
Zhang Yuanwai suddenly stood up and smiled brightly: "As expected, she is a famous doctor from Xuanhumen. My daughter lost appetite three months ago and her abdomen began to swell. The quack doctors who came here said she had a happy pulse, but you, the doctor, are the only ones who know everything. Madam, why don't you invite the famous doctor? Help the little girl take a closer look.”
"Yes, sir." Madam Zhang, the principal wife, lowered her head and agreed, trying hard to hide the slight smile on her lips.
While walking on the road, Mrs. Zhang was just walking in front, and she must be thinking about something in her heart.
When they arrived at the young lady's boudoir, they first asked Xining to sit down. Mrs. Zhang looked at Liu Yulang and hesitated to speak.
Xining rolled his eyes at Liu Yulang: "Let him watch from the side. If he needs to go out, I will let him out."
So Mrs. Zhang walked into the bed: "Wan'er, the doctor said you have food accumulation or a tumor in your abdomen. You need to take a closer look. Mother is here, so you don't have to worry. Come out and let the doctor take a look."
The bed curtain was opened, and Liu Yulang was shocked when the maid helped Miss Zhang out. She was wearing light clothes in summer, and her tall and round belly looked like a hammer. It was obvious that she was pregnant and would give birth soon.
It turned out that I was so confused that I couldn’t understand or see what I was doing. Now Liu Yulang finally understood that it was the young lady who secretly had a pregnancy, and the concubine asked the doctor to check her pulse and suppress the wife. The wife refused to admit it for the sake of her daughter's reputation. Although Zhang Yuanwai knew what was going on, he refused to admit it because of his face. But the doctor hired by the concubine had already been diagnosed with Ximai. For the sake of face, Zhang Yuanwai and the bride-in-law had no choice but to hire another doctor. But the doctors who came were all honest people, and when they found out about Ximai, they truthfully said it was Ximai. Zhang Yuanwai could only pretend to be angry and kick them out.
Oh my God, there is such a thing!
Miss Zhang was undressed, her hair was pulled up into a thick bun, leaving the ends of her hair. She was still dressed as a boudoir girl. There were a few pregnancy spots on her blessed face. Despite this, she still looked upright and had beautiful features.
As soon as she got out of bed, before the maid helped her put on her shoes, she walked barefoot to Xining and knelt down, tears streaming down her face: "Please save me, doctor."
