The next day, Mr. Zhao finally left. After paying for the medicine, he left one hundred taels of silver and a business card.
"So he's a member of the Zhao family in the provincial capital. No wonder." Doctor Li put the business card into the drawer and placed it together with many other business cards.
The Zhao family of Fucheng is a relative of the Governor's Mansion. It is said that they once had a princess, and are considered a prominent family in the local area.
It’s just that the situation of this young master of the Zhao family doesn’t seem to be very good, and I don’t know if it’s because of his illness.
It is not easy to be the child of a wealthy family. Even if you are a direct descendant, you will still be disliked by your family if you are in poor health or have a slow brain.
It is estimated that this person was abandoned due to long-term illness.
From the behavior of the accompanying servants, it can be seen that this young man is not very welcome at home.
Doctor Li walked out of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back and stood on the steps looking towards the market.
Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival and there are already vendors selling brown flower cakes in the market.
Coarse flower cake is a rice cake with three layers of filling, filled with jujube, dried fruits, etc. It is soft and thick and tastes good.
There were also villagers selling ** and dogwood leaves, a handful for only two or three cents.
Doctor Li saw his little granddaughter, Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao buying brown flower cakes. They each took a piece and ate while walking around the stalls, talking and laughing all the way. They seemed to be very close, but Yingbao was nowhere to be seen.
Doctor Li frowned, turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw the little girl reading the pharmacopoeia.
"Yingbao, why don't you go out and play with Xihua and the others?" Doctor Li walked into the pharmacy.
When the pharmacy is not busy, only one person is needed to look after the shop, and the others can go out to have fun or buy some food. My little granddaughter is like this, she runs out to play as soon as she has free time.
Yingbao: "Waste of time."
Going out with Chen Tiantian and Chen Zhao is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of energy.
Of course, she also knew the tricks of the Chen sisters, which were to isolate her. She had seen them in her previous life, and she simply did not bother to confront them.
What she wanted was never what the Chen sisters thought.
So as long as they don't disturb her when she is studying or reading, they can do whatever they want.
Doctor Li shook his head, picked up a prescription and said, "Well, let me ask you a few questions."
Ying Bao immediately closed the pharmacopoeia upon hearing this and looked at the old man with burning eyes: "You take the test."
She also wanted to understand whether she had really memorized what she had learned.
Doctor Li: "A man in his forties has been experiencing numbness in his upper arms for the past two months. His arm and hand feel numb, his fingertips are numb, his face is pale, he sweats a lot, his appetite and bowel movements are normal, his tongue is light red, his tongue coating is white, and his pulse is thin and wiry. What medicine should I prescribe?"
Yingbao thought for a moment and replied, "Ten cents of raw astragalus, two cents of cinnamon twig, two cents of raw white peony root, two cents of raw ginger, and three sliced jujubes as an introduction. Boil and take for ten and a half days."
"That's right." Doctor Li asked Yingbao about a few common symptoms and asked her to answer the diagnosis and treatment prescriptions, and she answered them one by one.
Doctor Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yingbao, you can see the patient tomorrow and write the prescription and show it to me."
"Yes." Ying Bao was very happy to hear that she was asked to treat the patients, and nodded repeatedly. "I will definitely be able to cure them."
The next day, Yingbao was dressed neatly and sat behind the examination table, waiting for patients to come.
Li Xihua asked curiously: "Yingbao, what are you doing sitting there?"
My eldest brother and grandfather always sat at that consulting table. Occasionally, my second brother would also sit there to see patients, but only when my grandfather was present.
"Grandpa Li asked me to see the patient today." Yingbao said seriously.
Li Xihua was astonished: "How old are you and you can already see patients?" And Yingbao has only been in the pharmacy for a few months, how can she already see patients
"Grandfather did let Yingbao take the patient today."
Li Lin said: "Xihua, work harder. Once you have memorized all the pulse records and prescriptions, you can also see patients."
Li Xihua's face fell, and he pouted and ran to flip through the book.
It’s such a thick book, how long will it take her to memorize it all
Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian looked at each other, feeling unhappy.
Even though she couldn’t even recognize all the medicinal herbs, five-year-old Jiang Yingbao had to see patients.
"Humph! Isn't it just a few months more than us? What's so great about that?"
Chen Zhao muttered to himself, picked up a pharmacopoeia and ran to Li Lin: "Brother Li, can you teach me?"
Li Lin looked embarrassed: "You haven't even read a medical book, how can I teach you?"
He is not a teacher, so he cannot teach them word by word.
"..." Chen Zhao hurriedly made amends: "I...there are many words in this medical book that I don't recognize. Brother Li, can you tell me how to pronounce these words and what they mean?"
Li Lin frowned.
He himself had a lot of classic books and prescriptions to read, and really had no time to teach people to read and write.
Seeing that Li Lin showed impatience towards Chen Zhao, Chen Tiantian quickly picked up a pharmacopoeia and pretended to look at it.
At this time, two people came in supported by each other. One of them had a sallow complexion and looked in pain.
"Young man, let's come and see the doctor." said one person.
Li Lin pointed at Yingbao's table and said, "Sit over there, someone will check your pulse for you."
The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion sat down on the bench next to the table, looked around, and when he couldn't see Doctor Li, he became anxious.
Yingbao said: "Stretch out your hand."
The man paused and held out his hand.
Yingbao rolled up his sleeves and was about to check his pulse, but he pushed her away and said angrily, "What do you mean? Why are you letting a little kid check my pulse?"
Li Lin, who was standing next to her, said, "She will soon be able to see patients, don't worry."
"No! I don't want her to see me!" The man refused firmly, covering his chest and crying.
Seeing this, Yingbao stood up and moved aside.
Li Lin had no choice but to sit down.
At this time, a few more people came in, carrying an old man in on a door panel.
Someone shouted anxiously, "Doctor Li! Come and see my father! He suddenly fell to the ground and fainted today!"
Li Lin was about to stand up when he was grabbed by the sallow-faced man: "Brother Li, my stomach hurts..."
"I'll go call my grandfather!" Li Xihua said as he ran out of the pharmacy and went to the backyard.
Yingbao found these people looked familiar, so she walked out of the counter and checked the people on the door panel.
These people also knew Yingbao, and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Little... Yingbao, you are also in the pharmacy, come and see my father."
Yingbao squatted down, pulled up the old man's eyelids, took his pulse, then turned around and took out a pack of silver needles from her medicine box.
After a few injections, the old man woke up slowly and looked around blankly: "Why am I here?"
Several people cried with joy, "Dad! You scared us to death."
"How did I scare you?" the old man asked.
Seeing that the old man was conscious and able to sit up on his own, Yingbao ruled out the possibility of a stroke.
"Do you remember how you fainted?" she asked.
The old man touched his stomach and said, "I just felt a pain here for a while, and then I didn't know anything."
Yingbao pressed his stomach and intestines and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
"Yeah." The old man nodded.
Yingbao: "Maybe you ate something bad. Do you want to go to the toilet now?"
The old man was stunned, then he held his stomach and said, "Oh, now that you mentioned it, I really need to go to the toilet, Boss, help me go!"
Several people quickly carried the old man and ran to the toilet in a hurry.
Doctor Li walked into the pharmacy at this time and was surprised to see the patient missing. "Where is he?"
"I went to the toilet."
Yingbao put away the silver needle and suddenly felt as if something in her medicine box had been touched.
She glanced around and set her eyes on Chen Tiantian.
