Chapter 112:

We have come to the territory under the jurisdiction of our husband, how can we just settle the matter with a bowl of pasta?

Han Tao knew that he was in a hurry and had neglected to do so. He had already arrived in Yinping County. He was not in a hurry, so he rushed to the restaurant in the city.

"Yinping County is not as good as the prefecture capital, but it has all the food and drinks it should have. This is Doctor Xu's first time coming to Yinping, how about you let me entertain the guests."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, letting him make the decision on his own.

When they came upstairs, the waiter came up and asked, "Officials, what do you want to do for fun?"

Han Tao said, "You can get a pot of good rice wine, some good meat and some fruits. Bring some good ones."

After hearing this, the waiter went downstairs with a smile.

Xu Yi asked doubtfully: "Are you ordering food here, no dishes?"

"Ask me, but usually, you don't have to order anything in particular. The stuffed meat in this store is good, they are all good dishes." Han Tao looked like Very familiar, this is not the first time to eat here.

After a while, the waiter dragged the tray upstairs and placed a pot of good wine, several plates of braised mutton, stuffed duck, meatballs with distiller's grains, and two plates of vegetables and fruits.

When Xu Yi saw these dishes, he thought to himself that they were not much different from the restaurant opened by the Tao family in Yanting County, and they also used exquisitely crafted porcelain plates.

He heard Tao Qinghao say on the road that some high-end restaurants in the state capitals also use expensive and exquisite lacquerware. In state capitals with more prosperous economies, such as Kaifeng Prefecture and Shunying Prefecture, powerful large-scale restaurants not only use lacquerware, Gold and silver utensils are also used.

Not to mention the use of lacquerware and silverware, the decoration of this restaurant alone is pleasing to the eye, with its grandeur and classical elegance.

The aroma of delicious food makes those sitting at the table hungry.

Xu Yi did not pretend to be polite. He and Han Tao tasted this delicious meal together.

Soon, they came out of the restaurant, fed the mules on the handlebars, and drove them to a quiet mansion.

The area around the mansion was quieter than other ordinary civilian streets. The vendors passing by did not dare to shout loudly and only walked in a hurry for fear of disturbing the people in the mansion.

The authority of an official is deeply imprinted in the hearts of ordinary people. Even if he is a good official, they will instinctively fear and stay away from him.

Xu Yi got down from the carriage and looked at the "Han Mansion" plaque hanging above. The destination of his trip had arrived.

"Doctor Xu, please follow me." Han Tao turned sideways and invited Xu Yi to enter through the side door.

There was a boy of thirteen or fourteen guarding the side door. Hearing the noise, he came over to open the door. When he saw it was Han Tao, his eyes showed surprise.

"Senior Han, you are back. Yesterday, when my husband was on duty, he specifically told me to be more alert these days."

The servant happily opened the door and saw someone behind Han Tao. He was very confused. I looked twice and didn't ask who it was.

Han Tao smiled, took out a small bag and threw it to him: "I bought it randomly on the way, and you can share it too."

"Thank you, Sui Han!" The servant happily caught it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

The Han Mansion is not big, and its layout is similar to the house Xu Yi bought as soon as he entered the courtyard.

But it was clear that Magistrate Han had a better aesthetic. After walking through the corridor, he saw well-organized rockeries, running water, and graceful bonsai flowers in the yard.

Han Tao led him to the side hall next to the main room. When they entered, a servant came in with tea.

"I've been away for a few days, so I have to go back to report to my husband first. Doctor Xu will rest here for the time being." Han Tao said to Xu Yi, cupping his hands.

Xu Yi nodded, put the medicine box on his shoulder on the coffee table, and sat on the chair next to him.

The servant was still there, but his head was lowered and his face could not be seen clearly.

I don't know how long Xu Yi waited until he fell asleep. At this moment, an older young man came into the side hall. Xu Yi looked over and saw that he was wearing a green round-neck wide-sleeved t-shirt and a black headscarf, looking like a scholar.

Xu Yi stood up and looked directly at him silently.

With an elegant smile on his face, the young man said: "This must be Dr. Xu. I am Manager Zhang of the mansion. The officials are on duty in the government office. It is not yet time to go on duty, so I will give it to you first." Let's take Dr. Xu to see Madam."

Hearing this, Xu Yi's eyebrows suddenly raised. This was completely different from what he had thought on the way here.

Magistrate Han asked him to visit the doctor without telling everyone. Now that he finally got to the other party's house, it seemed...

that was not the case.

He had doubts in his heart, but said nothing. He only said calmly: "Can I ask Manager Zhang to lead the way?"

Manager Zhang gestured and asked Xu Yi to follow him.

Soon, they came out of the side hall and headed towards the east wing. However, they were not going to the main room, but the side room next to them where guests could receive guests.

Manager Zhang was outside the house, and a girl stopped him. He leaned over and said, "Manager Zhang, please ask Doctor Xu to come in."

"Understood." Manager Zhang nodded and said to the girl calmly, "Go and call Mother Yao. , let her put out the incense in the room first, and then bring water to clean her hands, and handkerchiefs and other things should be ready and delivered."

The girl replied: "Mother Yao is not on duty today, but Mother Yang is here. "How about calling her?"

"No, you can prepare it yourself." Manager Zhang frowned and spoke without hesitation.

The girl agreed and opened the curtain to let them in. She then retreated to prepare things to clean her hands.

Although Manager Zhang was a foreigner, he led the housekeeper in the mansion to enter the house to greet the lady in the mansion and give a reply. The other servants and wives in the mansion did not dare to say anything nonsense.

What's more, Mrs. Jiang is not the only one in this room. She is also served by a eldest girl. The eldest girl is kneeling on the soft cushion next to the small couch. There is a low stool in front of her with a copper bowl on it. She is Use a roller to grind the petals inside.

Mrs. Jiang was lying on her side on the soft couch with her belly about to give birth.

She had not slept well these past few days and her complexion was very bad. As soon as Xu Yi arrived at the house, someone had already informed her.

Normally, she would have wanted to freshen up. When she heard the noise coming from outside, Mrs. Jiang opened her eyes and said to the girl next to her: "Qiaozhu, the fragrance is gone."

Qiaozhu said yes and stood up. I put out the soothing incense that was in the room.

She looked back and saw Manager Zhang leading a young doctor in. His eyes were filled with astonishment, and he was secretly looking at him curiously.

Her peek wasn't obvious, but the young doctor suddenly bumped into her.

Qiaozhu's face suddenly turned red and she hurried back to Mrs. Jiang in small steps.

She is the new personal maid that Mr. Lang rented for Mrs. Jiang in Yinping County. She can receive 500 cash per month. The other maids in the house are envious of her.

Mrs. Jiang is an easy-to-serve master, so she is more cautious and picky about her food. Other times, they, who are personal servants, have most of their time at leisure.

"Madam, Doctor Xu is here." Manager Zhang stood outside the bead curtain, slightly bent, and shouted softly with his eyes lowered.

Through the curtain, Mrs. Jiang's eyes fell on the young man next to Manager Zhang. This man was indeed the doctor she met outside Yanting County.

Mrs. Jiang said softly: "Steward Zhang, please bring the doctor in."

Steward Zhang said: "Yes, madam."

There are many rules in a wealthy family, and Xu Yi didn't ask or look at what was going on when Steward Zhang didn't take the initiative. , refused to listen, his eyes dropped to the floor in front of him.

The floor had been wiped, with a dampness that had not yet dried.

Manager Zhang said: "Doctor Xu, come in with me."

Only then did Xu Yi see Mrs. Jiang, who was pale and lackluster.

Mrs. Jiang's mental appearance was not good. She was already sitting firmly on the soft couch with the support of Qiao Zhu.

Seeing Xu Yi coming in through the bead curtain, she smiled and said softly: "Doctor Xu, could you please diagnose Ping An's pulse for me."

After hearing this, Xu Yi said calmly: "Ms. Jiang, please let me get ready."

The girl who had opened the curtain came in with a copper basin of purified water. She called Mrs. Jiang "Madam" and brought the copper basin to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi washed his hands carefully, wiped them dry with a handkerchief, then opened the medicine box and took the pulse pillow.

Manager Zhang on one side was staring at his behavior intently. Xu Yi didn't think that he was curious about a doctor, but was careful about what other actions he made.

However, the other party is a female and pregnant, so it is necessary to be more careful.

Xu Yi didn't feel anything wrong with this. While he was getting ready, the eldest girl Qiaozhu had already brought a stool and placed it next to the soft couch.

Xu Yi sat down and asked Mrs. Jiang to extend her hand.

Madam Jiang stretched out her hand and said slowly: "I don't know if I'm mistaken, but these days I always feel pain in my stomach. The doctor has been called several times, and they all said that I have a heart disease."

"If it's a heart disease, I need it ." "Medicine with care," Xu Yi said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he checked Lady Jiang's pulse in silence.

Xu Yi was still not used to feeling the pulse through a thin handkerchief. He concentrated on taking the pulse for a long time, and unconsciously, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Jiang tightened her hand with the handkerchief and asked, "Doctor Xu, how are you?"

"Ms. Jiang, you often have abdominal pain, it's caused by the pregnancy test." Xu Yi said to her.

Lady Jiang's eyebrows were raised: "What is a trial pregnancy?"

Xu Yi calmly explained: "If you have pain in your abdomen before the month is over, and the pain goes back to normal, it is called a trial pregnancy. And Lady Jiang, you are now nine months old." "Yue, you should wait quietly at this time and don't worry about it." [Note 1]

"Is this pain... really normal?" Mrs. Jiang was slightly surprised. But she always thought of the bad side because of the sachet.

Xu Yi nodded, but he added: "But you are too worried and there are already bad omens. Mrs. Jiang, let me prescribe you a decoction to nourish the fetus and calm the nerves."

"Excuse me, doctor." Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang braced herself up and sighed secretly, "I wonder if I will still have abdominal pain after taking this decoction to nourish the fetus and soothe the nerves?"

Xu Yi did not answer immediately, but said: "If it is just a test of pregnancy, Proof, taking this decoction can bring some relief, but the baby's body in Mrs. Jiang's belly is not in the right position.

"Is it a bad thing?" Suddenly, a deep and steady voice came from behind.

As early as Xu Yi replied, he heard slight footsteps outside the house, but he didn't look back. He just sat there obediently without raising his eyes.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Husband, why did you come back so early this morning?" "

Han Tao came to the Yamen to answer the question. I felt that this matter could not be delayed, so I came back early." Han Zhong Pujing He raised his hand, opened the bead curtain and walked in, asking with concern, "Ms. Xuan, how are you doing now? Do you have abdominal pain again?"

Mrs. Jiang's maiden name was Jiang Baixuan. After marrying Han Zhongpu, he often called her "Ms. Xuan" "Call it.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head softly and said, "It's okay today. It only hurt for a moment and then it stopped hurting."

After hearing what she said, Han Zhongpu sat on the stool brought by the eldest girl Qiaozhu. His eyes fell on the age opposite him. Xu Yi, who was very light, asked: "Doctor Xu, you said the fetal position is not correct, is there any trouble?"

Xu Yi seemed to wake up, stood up quickly, bowed and shouted: "I have seen County Magistrate Han."

"You don't have to be polite." Han Zhongpu's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "Doctor Xu, you haven't replied to me yet."

Xu Yi took a deep breath and said, "The position of the baby in Mrs. Jiang's belly is slightly abnormal. "Now that I'm about to give birth, I have to correct the fetal position before giving birth."

Han Zhongpuqing frowned:

"I know a little bit about it, but I don't dare to try it easily." After saying this, he lowered his head silently.

Han Zhongpu: "..." This person seems to be different from what Shibo said.

"How do you say this?"

Although Han Zhongpu was married for the second time, Jiang Baixuan was actually pregnant with his first child. He had been married to his ex-wife for three years and did not leave a son or a daughter. Unfortunately, his ex-wife died of illness and he stayed with his wife for three years.

Three years later, when he was admitted to the imperial examination, he married Jiang Baixuan, a former military general, as his second wife.

He chose this wife himself. From the moment they got married to the present, he and Mrs. Jiang respected and loved each other as guests.

Han Zhongpu was looking forward to the arrival of this child. Although he was usually steady, he would be troubled by his wife's abdominal pain and sent his followers all the way to find Dr. Xu.

But Mrs. Jiang didn’t tell who Dr. Xu was, or his appearance, or his age. She only had the surname Xu, which was really hard to find.

Fortunately, Han Tao lived up to his mission and found the person and invited him back.

Xu Yi said: "I know everything I know from books, but there are too few patients. I am afraid that I will misunderstand Madam Jiang."

"Yinping is a small place, and the doctors here have average medical skills. I think It’s really not easy to find a doctor with good medical skills.”

Han Zhongpu was worried, pinched his eyebrows and said, "Doctor Xu, are you afraid that I will blame you?"

"Don't dare." Xu Yi replied.

After a while, Han Zhongpu suddenly asked: "What if I find a doctor from the county to help you?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "..." That seems to be okay.

He did not refuse immediately. He thought about it in his mind for a while, then saluted and said: "If that's the case, I'll give it a try."

There was no way to try this matter today. It was getting late, so Xu Yi was not suitable to stay here any longer.

He quickly spread out the paper and wrote down a prescription for nourishing the fetus and calming the nerves.

This medicinal soup is none other than the famous Antai Dasheng Powder. It is suitable for uneasy fetal movement and low back pain in the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy.

This decoction is very similar to Perilla Drink, but the medicinal materials used in it have a few different flavors.

Xu Yi added or subtracted several medicinal materials based on Mrs. Jiang's physical condition. After finishing writing and waiting for the pen and ink to dry, Han Zhongpu invited him to the study to talk.

Seeing that there was something in his words, Xu Yi handed the prescription to Manager Zhang and gave him a few instructions before leaving with Magistrate Han.

On the way to the study, Xu Yi's eyes kept falling on Magistrate Han's straight back. He looked about twenty-eight years old, with a beardless face, strong features, and a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor.

I just got off duty, but I had already changed into casual clothes when I entered the house.

Xu Yi didn't dare to look closely in the room. There was no one else around, but he saw a lot.

Han Mansion is not big, so they quickly arrived at the study room.

Xu Yi saw Han Tao again. Han Tao returned to the same appearance as when he first met him. He saluted meticulously and shouted: "I have met you, Mr. Xu."

Han Zhongpu said quietly: "Go and prepare tea."

After the words fell, Han Tao pushed open the study door first, and then silently retreated.

Han Zhongpu looked at Xu Yi and said calmly: "Doctor Xu, it is related to the safety of my wife and children. What you said in the room just now, is there anything else to hide?"

Xu Yi was stunned, but he quickly reacted: "Han "The county magistrate has nothing to hide." Han

Zhongpu said, "After Han Tao confirmed that Dr. Xu was you, he reported it to me through Di Dian, and Pang Shibo also wrote a letter to me."

She looked at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to speak.

"Shibo said in the letter that Dr. Xu's medical skills are extraordinary. Why are you so worried about correcting the pregnancy?" Han Zhongpu said helplessly, "Is it because I am the magistrate of Yinping County."

Xu Yi touched his nose. . Although there was some reason for the latter, Magistrate Han felt a little guilty when he said it.

He didn't dare to really tell the truth, but kept an eye on it and said: "After all, I am young, and many things have not been revealed. I only know what I know in the book. Maybe I am not as good as a doctor who specializes in gynecology."

Most doctors who treat gynecology She is a female doctor, but in small counties like Yanting County and Yinping County, it is not easy to find a female doctor with good medical skills to treat patients. It is better to focus on other doctors.

Of course, it is not that there are no male doctors studying gynecology these days. After all, there are more men than women studying medicine. It would be terrible if none of them studied obstetrics and gynecology.

In history, there have been many famous male gynecologists. Among them, the first recorded male gynecologist was Bian Que.

Xu Yi does not dare to compare with Bian Que, but he has studied medicine with his family since he was a child. He has been involved in everything. He cannot be said to be proficient in everything. However, he has read hundreds of medical books and been exposed to countless medical cases. It can be said that he has theoretical knowledge. Full marks.

It is not difficult to say that this is the right pregnancy. The reason why he did not guarantee it to County Magistrate Han was because it was the Song Dynasty.

Not in modern times, and not in hospitals.

Han Zhongpu did not embarrass him. When he read the letter sent by Han Tao, he did not want to use Dr. Xu. I feel that this guy is too young. Even if he has some ingenuity, he will ultimately lose because of his age.

But he received a letter from Pang Game, in which he actually vouched for a doctor.

...

It was night, and Xu Yi was arranged by Han Tao to rest in the guest room of Han Mansion.

Han Tao came in with the bedding smoked by the incense burner, looked at Xu Yi who was still reading the book, and said with a smile: "Doctor Xu, the night dew is heavy, please pay attention carefully."

Xu Yi raised his eyes and looked at him: "I'll look at it again I'll rest soon."

Han Tao put down the quilt first, turned around to get the scissors, cut off the wick, and flicked it again, and the dim light in the room suddenly brightened.

"Thank you." Xu Yi said to him with a smile.

Han Tao is not in a hurry to leave. He has gotten along well with Xu Yi all the way. He doesn't have to be an errand tonight, so he just wants to talk to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi also had a lot of things he wanted to ask him. Seeing his expression, he put down the book in his hand.

He asked Han Tao who were the doctors in Yinping County and what their names were. Han Tao told Xu Yi what he knew.

Then, Xu Yi asked him if he knew a master named "Gou".

Speaking of which, Han Tao followed County Magistrate Han to Yinping County only a few months ago.

Han Tao shook his head, supported his chin with his hand, and said to him: "Lang Jun told me to tell you whatever you want to know, but I really don't know who this Doctor Gou is. "

Hearing this, Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked pretendingly: "Can I ask you anything?"

Han Tao was unprepared: "Yes, you are the distinguished guest invited by Mr.

Xu Yi . He pointed to: "What if I want money?"

"..." Han Tao sighed, "I can't decide on this. It is Manager Zhang who is in charge of the money. He has the final say."

Xu Yi did not expect that he would be so sincere, It’s inevitable to laugh out loud.

The next moment, Xu Yi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Let's not care about the money for now, I really want to know something."

Han Tao asked: "What is it?"

Xu Yi said: "I want to know, you How long do you want to keep me?"

Han Tao paused for breath: "How could he know about this as a servant?

"Earlier, I was only talking about other things and forgot to ask Magistrate Han about this matter." Xu Yi smiled lightly and said, "Why don't Han Guijie ask for me."

Han Tao touched his nose: "... Okay."

He didn't dare to stay in the guest room, for fear that Xu Yi would pull him and say something that he couldn't hide but didn't dare to tell Lang Jun.

Seeing him leaving quickly, Xu Yi looked away, took the book again, and started reading.

This book was the medical book that Pang Boyi gave him. Xu Yi read it several times. There were some medical records in it and the medicines used by the doctor were very interesting.

He thought back and forth, and his palms became itchy.

I don't know if Yinping County lacks a wandering doctor who is stranded here.
