Chapter 2366 Group Chat
Chapter 2352 Scolding
When Su Jian was sent back to the Duke of Pi's Mansion, his stomach still hurt, but it wasn't as painful anymore. He could still walk with the help of a servant.
But he was in a bad mood, especially since so many people were watching the treatment process, so he got angry as soon as he got home. He didn't even want to leave, and waited for the servants to come over with a rattan chair, sweating profusely, before carrying him in.
The friends who brought him back didn't think there was anything wrong. They had seen how pale he was and how painful he was, unable to speak. They thought he was in great pain, so they followed him and shouted at the servants of the Su family to carry the person inside and to call the imperial physician.
Although Zhou Man had examined them in front of them, follow-up treatment was definitely needed. Whether they needed to invite Zhou Man again or another imperial physician, they had to do it now.
Su Jian is not the Duke of Pi, so he would have to wait in line to hire an imperial physician.
Upon hearing the news, the wife of the Duke of Pi rushed over. Seeing her son being carried to the couch, she was about to cry, but she held back her tears and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Did you fall or something? Why did you go to the horse farm again? Didn't I tell you not to play polo, not to play polo anymore? Your legs and stomach..."
Lady Pi paused and looked her son up and down. She saw that apart from his pale complexion, there was nothing wrong with him. The key point was that his clothes were still neat and tidy, and he didn't look like he had fallen or fallen off his horse.
"Don't worry, Madam. The young master is not dead. He just has a stomachache."
"Yes, he has an upset stomach."
The wife of the Duke of Pi breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion instantly brightening. "So you have an upset stomach! Oh, you're so old, and you still eat carelessly. Now you know how uncomfortable it is, don't you? Come, quickly make a bowl of hawthorn soup for the young master to help him digest the food."
His friends were horrified and hurriedly stopped him, "Madam, this medicine can't be taken carelessly. The young master just took the medicine prescribed by Lord Zhou, and we don't know if it will conflict with the medicine. Why don't we ask someone to ask the doctor first?"
Lady Pi was curious, "Lord Zhou? Which Lord Zhou?"
"Who else in the capital can prescribe medicine? It's Doctor Zhou from the Imperial Hospital."
Isn't it that the official in Chongwenguan is higher than the official in Imperial Hospital, so people call the higher-ranking official by name to show respect?
Lady Piguogong said with a smile, "I didn't expect Doctor Zhou to be so polite. She was willing to come to the horse farm to see you for such a minor ailment as a stomach upset."
Su Jian: ...
Friends: ...
Su Jian's servant fell to his knees on the ground, crying, "I have done something wrong. Madam, please punish me."
The smile on the wife of the Duke of Pi's face faded slightly, and she asked, "What happened?"
The servant then explained the seriousness of Su Jian's illness. Lady Pi's face changed when he said that Su Jian's stomachache was caused by intestinal abscess. When she heard that if the intestines were necrotic, she would need to have her stomach opened and cleaned, her face became even uglier.
She was so angry that she pointed at the servant and scolded him, "Is this how you serve your master? He's not doing well, and you don't know how to persuade him. What's the point of you?"
He turned around and scolded Su Jian again, "I told you to quit drinking a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen. Do you really have to let your father break your legs before you obey?"
Su Jian lowered his head and said nothing. His friends quietly stepped back, left the room, turned around and ran away.
The wife of Duke Pi is so terrible!
Lady Pi really wanted to beat Su Jian up with her own hands, but when she raised her hand and saw that Su Jian was pale, she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she could only continue to point at his nose and scold him.
When the third wife heard the news and came back from outside with her child, she couldn't help crying when she heard the scolding from her mother-in-law as soon as she entered the door.
After learning the contents of Zhou Man's medical instructions from the servant, she cried even louder.
The wife of the Duke of Pi was already angry, and now she was even angrier. She couldn't help but turn around and yell at her, "Why are you crying? He's not dead yet. You can cry after he drinks himself to death. Who are you crying for now?"
The third wife stopped crying and lowered her head with sobs.
The wife of the Duke of Pi sent someone to fetch the Duke of Pi's invitation to the imperial physician. She then glared at Su Jian and said, "Imperial Physician Zhou has warned you more than once to drink less and have less fun. You behaved well in front of your father and me, but you turned your back and fooled us like this. I, I..."
The wife of the Duke of Pi clutched her chest. The Third Madam was horrified and hurried to support her. "Mother, calm down. The Third Master knows he was wrong."
Su Jian didn't care about his stomachache anymore and said quickly, "Yes, son, I know I was wrong."
After a while of struggling, the Duke of Pi's residence finally summoned Imperial Physician Xiao Tan from the Imperial Hospital. He confirmed it was an intestinal abscess, but the condition was still acute and severe. Even Imperial Physician Xiao Tan didn't have a good solution. His advice was, "Take the decoction first. If it doesn't subside by tomorrow, it's necrotic. Opening the stomach and clearing the intestines is the only option. As for ulcer treatment, the most skilled Imperial Physician in the Imperial Hospital is still Imperial Physician Zhou."
Lady Pi immediately asked, "I heard it can be supplemented with acupuncture."
Doctor Tan smiled and said, "Yes, but Doctor Zhou is the best at acupuncture. I just asked the young master. Doctor Zhou gave him eight needles today, one of which was a puncture to deepen the pain, which should be used to relieve pain. As for the remaining seven needles, since the young master can't remember the specific positions, I can't think of the specific needling method. The acupuncture method I know only uses four needles, one of which is a puncture to deepen the pain, and the other three are for regulating qi, so..."
Lady Piguogong understood. She couldn't imagine the acupuncture method Zhou Man used, so Zhou Man was still more skilled.
After all, Zhou Man was far superior to everyone in the Imperial Hospital, including Dean Xiao, who had three skills: one was laparotomy, the second was acupuncture, and the third was specific disease treatment, such as infertility.
Ahem, the third one can be ignored.
Anyway, Su Jian's current situation is not only applicable to the first method she is best at, but also to the second method, so it is best to ask her.
However, she is not on duty today or tomorrow. Doctor Tan said, "Doctor Liu will be on duty at the Imperial Hospital tomorrow."
So if they invited someone through the Imperial Medical Service, it would be Doctor Liu who would be on duty, and if they wanted to invite Zhou Man, they could only do so privately.
After some thought, Lady Pi sent a box of silver ingots to invite the doctor, and instructed the steward, "Be polite. This doctor is not only the Imperial Physician, but also a fourth-rank editor of the Chongwen Academy. If he is promoted two levels higher, he will be on par with your master."
Of course, this equality refers to actual positions. The title of Duke is still very valuable, and it is of the first rank.
But the actual position held by Duke Pi is a third rank, so...
After hearing this, the manager came over with a stiff upper lip to ask for help.
He was very polite, so Manbao responded readily. He took the invitation from the Duke of Pi's Mansion and said, "Then I'll go with you to see him first. If he doesn't feel much pain tonight, don't worry. I'll go see him tomorrow and give him acupuncture and some medicine."
The steward carefully asked what their wife wanted to ask, "What if the pain is still severe..."
"Then we can only open our stomach and clean our intestines."
Even more wrong, don't ask me why, probably because it's too cold and my brain is frozen, I'll write a chapter to replace it now, woo woo woo
They said that it was because I promised you in the book review area that I would add more chapters, so God specially arranged this. As expected, people should not be too unfaithful.
