Chapter 1079: Visit
Manager Zheng: ...
This is a gift for you. Can he snatch it from her?
Xiao Shao followed her out, and even though she reached out to grab the backpack and medicine box from her hands, she couldn't, so she could only let her go.
Manbao put the things on the carriage and discussed with Xiaoshao, "You can take me home directly later."
Xiao Shao agreed.
When they arrived at Duke Su's mansion, Xiao Shao refused to let Man Bao carry the medicine box on his own. He said, "Little Doctor Zhou, if you do this, the head shopkeeper will punish me later."
Manbao then gave him the medicine box to carry.
Xiao Shao took the door invitation and knocked on the door. A doorman took the invitation and came out to pull their carriage into the door. A servant then led them to the inner courtyard.
This time it was Mrs. Cheng who invited them to her house, but she was not bedridden. When Manbao and the others arrived, she was still handling affairs in the mansion.
When she heard the servants report that the doctor had arrived, she asked someone to invite Manbao to her yard. Xiaoshao was stopped outside the door and had to stay in the yard.
Xiao Shao glanced at Man Bao, who thought for a moment, then reached out to take the medicine box and said with a smile, "Wait here for a moment."
Xiao Shao agreed.
The maid invited Manbao in and brought him some tea and snacks. Manbao looked around and asked curiously, "Where is the patient?"
The maid beside her smiled sheepishly and said, "Doctor Zhou, please wait a moment. Our Second Madam will be here soon."
Manbao then asked, "What's wrong with your second wife?"
"This..." The two second-class maids in the room looked at each other and whispered, "Doctor Zhou, our second wife just gave birth to the second young lady more than three months ago, and she is feeling a little unwell."
Seeing that they were talking unclearly, Manbao nodded and sat at the table waiting for people.
Madam Cheng didn't let her wait long. She had only sat for a while when she came back with her people. She didn't see Xiao Shao waiting under the eaves, but Xiao Shao raised her head and looked at her, a little worried, not knowing whether Doctor Zhou could handle it.
Manbao felt that she was just coming to the patient's home for treatment. Except for the fact that she took the initiative to come to the patient's home, there was no difference between the treatment and that in Jishidiang's clinic.
So when he saw Madam Cheng Er, Manbao motioned her to sit down and said, "Let me take your pulse first."
After saying that, he took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the table.
Mrs. Cheng didn't expect her to be so straightforward without even exchanging pleasantries.
But this did reduce a lot of embarrassment. Madam Cheng looked back at her trusted maid, and the maid led the servants in the room out one after another.
Only one older girl stayed.
The room suddenly became much quieter, and Manbao also felt much more at ease.
She reached out and felt Mrs. Cheng's pulse and asked, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Madam Cheng Er touched her waist and said, "My waist is sore, and..."
Mrs. Cheng blushed and whispered, "This birth is a little different from the last one. The baby is a little big. My butt has become much bigger since the birth. The midwife said that my pelvis has dropped. When I bind my waist, I feel sore and uncomfortable all over..."
There are also various problems, which are simply countless. She can usually talk about these problems with her wet nurse, and the wet nurse will ask the midwife, but the midwife has no good solution either.
Many things are private, and she couldn't ask the doctor, so she could only explore on her own or endure it. But now there is a little miracle doctor in the capital, and the strange thing is that this little miracle doctor is a woman.
Madam Cheng had seen Manbao at the Su family before and was sure that her medical skills were not bad. She had endured for several days and only asked someone to invite her when she felt that she was not so conspicuous.
Manbao glanced into the inner room and said, "Let me check you out."
Mrs. Cheng nodded with a red face.
Manbao went to wash his hands, and after checking her, he simply massaged her pelvis. She said, "I'll find you a prescription later, and next time I come, I'll teach you how to go back properly."
He added, "You can't lose weight just by corseting your waist. I'll teach you how to do it later."
Madam Cheng asked, "Why do you have to come back to teach me?"
Man Bao said, "I have to go back and make a recovery plan that suits you. Medication alone won't help. You have too many problems that need to be corrected. I can't fix everything in one day, so I have to make a plan."
Mrs. Cheng didn't quite understand.
However, Manbao still wrote her two prescriptions, handed her one first and said, "This is for drinking, twice a day, one dose for two days."
He gave her another one and said, "This is for soaking. Boil a pot of water for a quarter of an hour, then pour out the juice and mix it with warm water. Soak in the bath for about a quarter of an hour every night."
Madam Cheng Er accepted it and asked hesitantly, "Then next time..."
"I'll come over tomorrow afternoon."
Madam Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll have someone wait for Doctor Zhou outside tomorrow."
Manbao agreed.
She collected her things and was about to leave.
Mrs. Cheng Er hurriedly said, "Young Doctor Zhou, please stay and have some refreshments before you leave."
"No need," Manbao said with a smile, "I still have some books to read when I get home. Let's stop here for today."
Madam Cheng Er looked at the maid beside her. The maid immediately smiled and led Manbao out. On the way, she whispered, "Doctor Zhou, our Madam Cheng Er's illness cannot be disclosed to outsiders, so..."
"Don't worry, we will protect the patient's privacy and won't tell anyone." Besides, Mrs. Cheng's disease was not a rare one, so she didn't need to consult Doctor Ding and others.
She would go back and make a plan and then ask Teacher Mo.
The eldest girl breathed a sigh of relief, took out a purse and stuffed it into Manbao's pocket, saying with a smile, "This is a little gift from our family. Please accept it, Doctor Zhou."
Manbao hugged the heavy purse in his hand, stunned for a moment, blinked and asked doubtfully: "So many?"
The eldest girl smiled and said, "Not much, not much. Doctor Zhou is a miracle doctor now."
Manbao was a little conflicted, but Mrs. Cheng's illness was not really serious, just a little trivial. It would probably take quite a while to cure it completely.
If she charges so much for the first consultation, and she comes more often in the future, will Mrs. Cheng go bankrupt?
Before Manbao had time to think clearly, Xiaoshao came over quietly and took her medicine box.
She came to her senses, nodded to the eldest maid, and went out of the yard.
The eldest maid accompanied them all the way to the outer courtyard and watched their carriage leave before returning.
Manbao sat in the carriage, opened his purse and took out two fat silver ingots.
She held the silver and thought, if her father knew how much money she could make now, he would be so happy that he would somersault on the bed.
Somersaults were impossible, but a happy smile was possible. The Zhou family received the second letter from the capital, as well as the gifts that Manbao and the others had brought back among the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts that Bai Dalang had prepared for his family.
The letter said that they spent money to buy a two-story restaurant and converted it into a restaurant. Manbao also bought Lao Zhoutou a set of winter clothes.
