Chapter 1077: Change of Name
Manbao jumped off the carriage with a basket on his back, turned around and waved to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang in the carriage, and entered Jishidiang under their gaze.
Bai Shan saw her go in, then he lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
The carriage then started heading towards the Imperial College.
The pharmacy had just opened and the patients had not arrived yet. Manbao put his things down and sorted them out first. After looking around, he took out a thick book from his backpack and started reading.
Doctor Ding, who was visiting, was stunned when he saw this and asked, "Doctor Zhou, are you reading the law book?"
Manbao nodded, stood up and asked Doctor Ding to sit down.
Doctor Ding didn't sit down. He asked curiously, "Why did you change to reading legal books? Didn't you always read medical books before?"
Manbao sighed, "My master only asked me to read a few pages. I have no choice but to read it now because I have been too busy lately and cannot find time. I can only read it now."
Doctor Ding nodded, but then felt something was wrong. Aren't they doctors? Why did they need to read the law book?
Doctor Ding was about to turn and leave in a daze when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "Oh, right, after you left yesterday at noon, the Cheng family sent a note inviting you to come for a consultation today. The head shopkeeper wanted to ask if you would like to go."
Manbao asked curiously, "Whose family is the Cheng family?"
"The Duke of Su," Doctor Ding said, "is seeing their second wife this time. It's more convenient for you to come and go in the inner courtyard. The head shopkeeper said that if you go, he will give you a pharmacist to take care of you, so that you can go in and out more conveniently. As usual, for such visits, you keep the full consultation fee and get the medicine from the shop."
"Then they have medicine in their warehouse?"
Doctor Ding smiled and said, "That's even better. If you can treat the patient well, most of the medicine in their storehouse will be replenished from our shop in the future."
This is one of the reasons why pharmacies like doctors to go out and see patients in their spare time.
After all, the main profit of a pharmacy still comes from medicinal materials.
Manbao nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "I'll go."
Doctor Ding nodded and turned to go out. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw a person lying outside. The person was startled and looked up awkwardly and smiled at Doctor Ding foolishly.
Then he turned sideways to let Doctor Ding go out. After Doctor Ding walked out, he immediately pulled Liu Niang behind him and went in.
Doctor Ding looked back, pointed at him and asked his waiter Xiao Ding, "What is this Shi Dalang doing?"
Xiao Ding took one look and said, "People who come to see Doctor Zhou always come early, as if they're afraid of running into anyone. Just now, he came in and tried to eavesdrop. I warned him you were in there, but he still leaned in to listen. I figured you and Doctor Zhou wouldn't be sharing anything confidential, so I didn't try to stop him."
They all talked about confidential matters in the backyard. Who would say something that couldn't be told to others in a clinic behind a curtain?
Walls have ears, let alone a curtain.
But this was the first time that Dr. Ding had seen someone eavesdrop so openly in public.
He shook his head, and seeing that more and more patients were coming to the lobby, he went back to his own clinic.
When Manbao saw the couple coming in, he put away the book and said, "It's Dou Dalang and Liu Niang. Please sit down."
Dou Dalang smiled ingratiatingly, sat on a chair with his wife, and said, "Doctor Zhou, can you take a look at my wife and see if she is pregnant?"
Liu Niang stretched out her hand shyly.
Manbao felt the pulse and said, "Not so fast, right?"
She reached out and felt around for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm not pregnant."
"But her period is late." Dou Dalang was a little anxious.
"It's normal to be delayed for a few days," Manbao said to Liu Niang. "In your case, it's normal to be pregnant within seven days. I just checked and you've been doing well in the past two months. I'll prescribe you another dose of medicine. You can stop taking it after you take it. Just make sure you maintain good nutrition and you'll be well prepared for pregnancy."
She wrote a prescription for Liu Niang, then looked at Dou Dalang, who had a grim expression, and said, "Let me check your pulse."
Dou Dalang stretched out his hand dejectedly. Manbao felt it for a while and then said, "It's getting better, but you still have to keep taking the medicine. Also, don't stress yourself too much."
"That's easy to say. I'll be 25 next year," Dou Dalang said with a sad face, "My cousin is even younger than me, and his child can run around now..."
"What can I do? You have this disease," Manbao said. "Also, try to reduce sexual intercourse while taking the medicine. Take this prescription first. I'll change it for you when I come back."
Manbao wrote a prescription for Dou Dalang and asked him to go out and get the medicine.
Dou Dalang didn't leave, holding the prescription and hesitantly asked, "Little Doctor Zhou, I heard people outside call you the Little Miracle Doctor, so I think you can cure my illness, right?"
Manbao said, "We are doctors, we treat illnesses, but my mother said that having children depends on fate. I can only tell you that there is an 80% chance that I can cure you. 80% is a very high cure rate. But if you ruin this 80% chance, just ignore what I said."
Dou Dalang was stunned and asked, "How can I avoid being ruined?"
"It's simple. Just follow the doctor's orders. Take your medicine when you need it, go to bed early at night, get up early in the morning, and have sex less often." Man Bao waved his hand, "Go ahead."
Dou Dalang still didn't leave. He whispered, "Doctor Zhou, you didn't tell anyone about my case, did you?"
Manbao: "...No, we are doctors, not the kind of people who sit on the street and gossip with nothing to do. Besides, this is a fake name, what are you afraid of?"
Dou Dalang smiled embarrassedly, "That's right, I, I want to change my name."
Manbao found it very strange and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to change?"
"I just suddenly feel that it's not very nice to treat patients under someone else's name." Dou Dalang swallowed and whispered, "Actually, my last name is Shi. You can just call me Shi Dalang from now on."
"No problem." Manbao added a symbol after Dou Dalang's name very neatly, and then wrote Shi Dalang's name.
Dou Dalang then took the two prescriptions and went downstairs to pay the bill and get the medicine, and asked his wife to stay and keep in touch with Doctor Zhou.
He felt that if she had a good relationship with the doctor, she would be able to be more open with him.
However, Manbao only had one heart and lung, and it was obviously impossible for her to take it out and give it to them. Since Liu Niang knew that her inability to get pregnant was not her problem, she was not so anxious anymore, so as soon as her husband left, she started chatting with Manbao.
In fact, it is to tell Manbao why Dou Dalang, oh no, it was Shi Dalang who changed his name.
"It was our old aunt who brought us to see the doctor. Dou Dalang is her eldest grandson. Someone told her the other day that my husband was using Dou Dalang's name to see a doctor at the pharmacy, so the old aunt came to our door."
Manbao couldn't help laughing and gave Liu Niang a thumbs up, "Actually, your husband is quite funny."
Liu Niang smiled and said, "Young Doctor Zhou really loves to joke around. What's so funny about him? He just bullies the weak and fears the strong." He's also a bully at home.
