One hundred and thirty-seven
Because most of the patients she treated were women, and women all cherish beauty, Yongxitang was also known as a beauty and skincare center. It was very likely that she would encounter patients seeking beauty treatments during her visits, so Yu Ying brought not only her medical supplies but also a lot of facial creams and ointments for cleansing and applying.
Yu Ying cleansed the face of the prefect's wife and also checked her skin condition.
Yellowed, dull and dry, very poor.
Obviously it's not just because of amenorrhea, but also because I drink less water and sleep less.
After deep cleansing, the face looks cleaner and fairer.
Replenishing water can help you maintain a good condition for several days.
By the time we sat down, more than half an hour had passed.
The wife of the prefect looked at herself in the mirror, left and right, and saw that her face was rosy, no longer dry, but had regained some moisture. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up more and more.
Seeing the Governor's wife's obvious joy, Yu Ying feared she might be expecting too much, so she told her the truth, "This is just an external adjustment. I've just started the treatment, and the results are quite noticeable. While doing this, you have to coordinate internal conditioning to maintain the effects. This is a long process, and we have to keep it up."
The governor's wife's smile faltered, and she asked hesitantly, "Are you saying this won't last long?"
Yu Ying nodded truthfully.
"Wash your face morning and night with the cream I just made. Apply it every three days thereafter. I will bring you the ingredients tomorrow. I will also write down the recipe and instructions."
"Also, exercising your shoulders, neck, waist, abdomen, legs and feet for a moment when you wake up can help stimulate your appetite. Afterward, drinking a spoonful of honey in a glass of warm water in the morning and evening can effectively reduce dryness on your face."
The governor's wife glanced at the maid, then at Yu Ying, and asked suspiciously, "Can this really improve the skin?"
Yu Ying nodded: "The effects will be seen in the short term, and then you will know whether it is effective or not."
The wife of the prefect turned her head and looked back at the mirror. Seeing her face in the mirror, which looked several years younger, her depressed mood, which had lasted for more than a year, was relieved at this moment.
He stared at her for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about. He then looked back at Yu Ying and said, "Next time you come back to the county seat, you will continue to see me."
Yu Ying nodded and said, "Of course, there is no problem here, but please send someone to Renshan Medical Clinic to inform them."
Her original intention was to make money and make friends with rich and powerful people. In Cangwu, all powerful people looked up to the prefect's mansion, and Fu Wei might have the support of the prefect and continue to treat the prefect's wife. She was happy to see that happen.
The prefect's wife knew that she was registered at the Renshan Clinic as a favor to the clinic, so she nodded and said, "I understand."
Yu Ying said, "I will return to Yu County the day after tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I will prepare the cleansing cream and protective face cream and send them to you."
The effect was obvious. The wife of the prefect was in such a good mood that she rarely saw before. She opened her dressing box and took out an emerald green bracelet. Then she took Yu Ying's hand and put the bracelet into her hand: "This is for you."
Yu Ying hurriedly said, "This bracelet is too valuable. I can't use it."
The wife of the prefect had a smile on her face. She looked at the emerald green bracelet that made the skin on her wrist look white and translucent, and she sighed in her heart that it was great to be young.
"The bracelet is too big for me to wear now. It will just gather dust if I keep it, so I'll give it to you. After all, love is priceless. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm just giving you a bracelet. It's worth it."
After Yu Ying showed off her skills, the wife of the prefect felt more convinced and her attitude changed from cold to gentle.
Yu Ying lowered her head and said, "Even without this bracelet, I would have devoted all my heart to treating you. Thanks to the protection of the governor, my husband was able to escape this disaster."
The prefect's wife was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Yu Ying hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak: "I heard from my husband that someone on the street offered a reward of 500 taels to cut off his legs. The county magistrate came to the prefect for help, and the prefect agreed to help. So, since you and I have done a favor, I cannot ask for the consultation fee this time."
The wife of the prefect had heard about the secret affairs of the staff under the magistrate Zhou of Yu County not only from outsiders but also from her own husband, so she vaguely guessed who was behind it.
As for her husband's help, she realized on second thought that he was only helping her out of face.
"I see, but you still have to accept this consultation fee and this bracelet. I'm in a good mood, so I'm giving them to you as a reward. Don't refuse. I don't care about these little things."
Although polite, there was a hint of arrogance in his words, and he made it very clear that rewards were not gifts.
Yu Ying could also hear that if she refused the reward without knowing what was good for her, the other party would be unhappy.
She refused without hesitation and replied gracefully, "Then I thank you for your reward. After returning to Yu County, I will continue to keep an eye on your situation. You can send someone to look for me at any time."
"nature."
After thinking for a moment, the wife of the prefect said, "As for your husband, I will also go to the adults to ask for you."
Yu Ying thanked him again.
After staying in the prefect's mansion for about an hour and a half, the prefect's wife felt a little tired, so she let everyone go back. At the same time, she sent a maid to go with Yu Ying to Renshan Medical Clinic to get medicine, and specifically reminded Yu Ying that she had to come in person to get the medicine.
As for the consultation fee and the cost of today's facial, after instructing the maid not to be stingy, she let Yu Ying go with the maid to collect it.
After leaving the house, the old woman whispered a reminder: "Madam has reminded you, Doctor Yu, please don't be polite. The prefectural governor's family is large and powerful, and they don't care about such a small amount of money. As long as the price is not exorbitant, feel free to ask."
The materials used for the facial were all of the best quality, which she specially prepared for her medical visits to the county government.
The consultation fee is fixed at ten taels. The labor and materials required for the facial will cost at most one tael of silver. On this basis, doubling the amount would not be excessive.
Yu Ying didn't ask for much, so she agreed to pay a total of twelve taels. As for the facial cream and cream to be made tomorrow, the money would be paid after it was finished.
Hearing this, the old woman looked at her in surprise: "I thought, judging by today's results, the facial would be worth at least double the consultation fee."
Yu Ying smiled and said, "Your Excellency has done my family a favor. As long as there is profit to be made, I will definitely not take more."
The old woman smiled and said, "Madam, please don't be stingy. Besides..." She gently reminded, "A person of your status and position shouldn't be too stingy in food, clothing, and daily expenses, and certainly not be outdone by those concubines."
Having said this, she paused slightly, turned to Yu Ying and smiled meaningfully: "Doctor Yu, do you understand?"
Yu Ying nodded in understanding.
"Then let me ask again, how much is the total consultation fee today?"
Yu Ying understood from what the old woman said just now that she wanted to double the medical fee.
"Twenty taels."
The old woman smiled.
After receiving the consultation fee, we will go to the clinic together to get medicine.
Just as he was coming out of the prefectural governor's mansion, a horseman came galloping down the street and stopped outside the mansion.
The man dressed as a postman on horseback fell off the horse, tied himself up, and quickly passed by Yu Ying and headed towards the gate.
The servant stopped outside the door and spoke to the guard.
When Yu Ying got on the carriage, she vaguely heard the words "Letter from Wuling". She turned back and glanced thoughtfully at the servant waiting outside the door.
It has been a month since the magistrate sent the letter to the county seat. Counting the days, if the letter was sent from the county seat to Wuling at full speed, there should be a reply by now.
He calmly withdrew his gaze and entered the car.
After returning to Renshan Medical Clinic, Yu Ying took out a silver ingot weighing five taels and secretly put it in her sleeve after getting the medicine. While giving the medicine to the old woman, she also secretly gave the silver ingot to her.
This old woman is the confidante of the prefect's wife. It will only be beneficial to have a good relationship with her.
The old woman felt the silver, her eyelids slightly raised, and the smile on her face deepened. After secretly accepting the silver, her tone became more polite: "I heard that Doctor Yu also has a stall selling facial cream in this county seat. My wife also owns a shop selling rouge and powder. When I get back, I will mention it to my wife and see if I can help Doctor Yu find a business."
"I'll be very grateful to you, Grandma. If we can really make a deal, I'll thank you separately then."
As for the matter that has not yet appeared, Yu Ying only said some polite words.
The old woman took the medicine and left with a smile on her face.
After sending the old woman away, Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
When Doctor Wu saw the others leave, he hurried over and asked eagerly, "Is the prefect's wife's illness any more serious?"
Yu Ying smiled and shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with the wife of the governor. She just asked me to come to her house to do some beauty work."
Doctor Wu was stunned: "Just for this?"
Yu Ying replied, "Indeed, it's for this reason. The governor's wife asked me to go to the governor's mansion again next time. I asked her to send someone to Renshan Clinic to tell her. After all, I'm currently practicing medicine at Renshan Clinic, so it's better for me to pass through the clinic before I go out to see a doctor."
Doctor Wu also thought it made sense. He nodded and said, "I have a consultation this afternoon and another one tomorrow morning. We have plenty of time. Madam Yu can go and rest first."
Yu Ying grabbed some necessary medicinal herbs at the clinic and then returned to the inn.
He Erlang went to look for Song Sanlang but he had not returned yet, and the two people from Muyun Village had not left their room.
After Yu Ying returned to the inn, she put the silver into the box, and then began to think about making facial cream and mask for the prefect's wife.
In order to have whitening, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects, the materials used must be cautious, but fortunately there is no need to worry too much about the price.
In this way, ginseng powder and pearl powder can also be used.
By the time it was time to see patients, Yu Ying had also thought of a prescription, and then left the inn and went to the clinic to see patients.
The female patient this afternoon was a businessman's wife, and at the beginning, she was repeatedly asked to assure me that she did not need to expose her illness.
The purpose of the treatment is to have a child.
Compared with the amenorrhea of the wife of the prefect, this one is obviously much more difficult.
But in later generations, there are still many people who want to have children. Some of them are destined to be unable to conceive due to physical reasons, some because of blocked fallopian tubes, and some because of physical weakness or obesity.
The former cannot be cured, the middle one is difficult to diagnose and treat without equipment, and the latter is easier to treat.
The patient seeking treatment has a plump body, consumes a lot of oil and salt, is weak and sweats a lot, and was often tired when her husband was not yet rich. Obviously, it is more likely the latter. The difficulty in conceiving caused by acquired factors can be cured by traditional Chinese medicine.
After prescribing the medication and foot bath soup, write down the precautions.
——Walk more every day, eat less salt and oil, use medicinal food as diet therapy, and use moxa cones once every three days.
For the rest, we will wait for the follow-up visit next month and decide based on the patient’s physical condition.
Yu Ying charged a high consultation fee, so it would take her half an hour to see a patient. Since follow-up visits wouldn't take too long, they weren't included in the two appointments.
However, the follow-up visit will also be charged a considerable fee. This was decided after Yu Ying discussed it with the director yesterday.
After seeing the patient, it was only 3 p.m. and there was plenty of time, so Yu Ying went out to buy ingredients for making facial cream.
As for the postman seen outside the prefectural government, it was unclear whether it was a letter from the Wuling Huo family. There was no point in overthinking it, so it would be better to think about making money and consolidating personal connections first.
