Chapter 668 Gift Giving
The two old doctors, together with Doctor Chen and Doctor Ding, picked up all the clothes on Ji Hao's body, treated some minor injuries that had not been treated in time, and then replaced his wounds with clean cloths.
Doctor Fan said, "The bandages must be washed with boiling water and exposed to the sun. Salt water must be used every time the wound is cleaned."
The old nanny was distressed. "Using salt water is so painful, Master Fan, do you think there is any other better way?"
Before Imperial Physician Fan could say anything, Doctor Ji said calmly, "Yes, switch to the strongest liquor. It's just as effective as salt water."
The old lady immediately stopped talking.
Imperial Physician Fan turned around and joked with Doctor Ji, "Aren't you afraid of actually waking the child up in pain?"
"It's a good thing he's awake, better than not awake." Doctor Ji looked back at the pale Ji Hao and sighed, "I'll prescribe a blood-replenishing prescription. He's weak now, so I need to find a way to replenish his blood."
As for the person being unconscious, there are naturally ways to feed him, and this is not the doctors' business.
In terms of internal adjustments, Doctor Ji was obviously slightly better than Imperial Physician Fan, so the old nanny respectfully took the prescription and left.
The four doctors were also very tired. After discussing it, they decided to take turns on duty, with an old doctor leading a young one.
Imperial Physician Fan chose Doctor Chen to follow him, and Doctor Ji took Doctor Ding with him. After they settled down, they went downstairs to wash and rest. If there was anything, the servants would go find the person on duty.
But Dr. Ji was not sleepy when he returned to his room. After eating, he hesitated for a moment and then went to knock on the door next door.
Imperial Physician Fan opened the door and let him in. He poured him a cup of tea and sighed, "You've been crying for half an hour."
It refers to the crying sound coming from the main room. It started when he took a bath and he was still crying after he finished eating.
Doctor Ji asked, "Didn't anyone from the Yizhou Palace come to pick you up?"
Imperial Physician Fan smiled faintly and shook his head, as if he was used to it. "People like us are masters when we are needed, and ordinary people without a name or surname when we are not."
He smiled and said, "Now that Young Master Ji's life or death is uncertain, it's natural for us to avoid the Yizhou Palace if we can."
Doctor Ji glanced at him and said, "You're quite open-minded."
"I'm different from you. I'm a military doctor by training, and I was lucky enough to get into the Imperial Hospital. I've experienced this a lot, so what's there to worry about?" Imperial Physician Fan said, "I'm fifty-four this year. In two years, when my child is born, I can take sick leave."
Imperial Physician Fan paused and then smiled, "I think your Jishitang is pretty good. I'd like to work as a resident doctor there and earn some extra money."
Doctor Ji smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more. With an imperial physician like you here, our Jishitang's business will definitely improve."
Imperial Physician Fan smiled and shook his head, "Please don't insult me. Can you at Jishiditang find someone with a broken bone or a cut stomach to treat every day?"
"It's good to have a name like yours."
Imperial Physician Fan choked and asked, "Is that little girl your apprentice today?"
Doctor Ji smiled but said nothing.
Imperial Physician Fan said, "Although she's a woman, she's very talented. Who taught her that acupuncture technique for stopping bleeding?"
Doctor Ji said, "Self-study."
Imperial Physician Fan was unconvinced. "Is it a family tradition? I wonder if he's a descendant of some famous doctor in Yizhou?"
Doctor Ji just shook his head and said nothing. Doctor Fan was a little dissatisfied and pushed him away, saying, "What are you afraid of? I'm not competing with you."
Doctor Ji sighed and said, "Let's wait until this matter is settled. Then come to Jishiditang to find me and I will take you to see the child."
Imperial Physician Fan was finally satisfied and sighed, "Her acupuncture technique for stopping bleeding was so effective that I wonder how many lives she could have saved."
Doctor Ji nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, I have learned it too, but I am old and lack energy, so I am not as good as her."
Imperial Physician Fan said, "You haven't learned everything yet."
Otherwise I would have figured out how to put the needle in myself.
The two old doctors joked with each other for a while, and then Doctor Ji returned to his room and fell asleep to the sound of crying coming from the main room.
Mrs. Ji II cried beside Ji Hao's bed, watching the maid feed him medicine with a reed tube. Mrs. Ji did not stop her from crying, and she herself could not help wiping away her tears.
The old nanny stood behind her and whispered what she had found out, as well as the scene of the treatment. She said, "The young master was a classmate of yours. Master Wei said his name was Bai Shan, and he wasn't from Yizhou, but from Longzhou in the Guannei area."
"Longzhou?" Madam Ji frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I vaguely remember that someone's family is also from Longzhou."
The old nanny smiled and said, "Old Madam, you forgot, Mr. Qiao, the old lady of the Qiao family is from Longzhou. In early May, the old lady Qiao's nephew also came to Yizhou to take up a post. His title was something like "Yuanwai Sanqi Shilang". You even sent someone to deliver a gift."
When she said this, Mrs. Ji finally remembered and asked, "Are they from the same family?"
"I don't know yet, but I have sent someone to ask the teacher at the prefectural school for the address. After all, he saved our young master's life."
Madam Ji nodded and said, "Send a generous gift first. When Hao'er wakes up, we will hold a banquet and invite him to join us."
The old lady agreed.
"As for the young lady you mentioned, prepare a generous gift and send it to Jishitang to find out which family she belongs to. Write it down and invite Hao'er over when he wakes up."
"yes."
The old nanny went back to make arrangements, so before night fell, Bai Shan received a generous gift from the Ji family. The gift boxes filled the table and were placed on the floor because they could not fit any more.
The servant who was sent to deliver the gift happened to be in Qixia Mountain today. He was surprised to see Manbao following Bai Shan out of the house, but then he laughed and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect the young lady to be here too. We were just about to deliver a gift to Jishitang. Since we met you here, why don't you tell us your home address? We can deliver the gift directly to your house, saving you the trouble of going back and forth to get it."
Manbao was stunned and asked, "Am I polite too?"
“Of course, everyone who saved the young master today will be treated with courtesy.”
Manbao then nodded and said, "My family lives here, just have someone move the things in."
Servant: ...
He looked at Bai Shan, then at Man Bao, and said hesitantly, "Who are you..."
Zhou Silang sent Mr. Zhuang out to look for someone. Now the head of the family was of course the eldest sister Manbao, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am his senior sister. Our master is out, and there is no one at home. I am sorry for the neglect."
The servant immediately lowered his head, wiped his sweat, and said, "No, no, I'll ask someone to bring the things in right away."
He followed him out. Originally, the gift he gave to Manbao was smaller than the gift he gave to Baishan. After all, their initial definition was that Baishan was the young master's classmate, while Manbao was Doctor Ji's apprentice.
But at this moment, the servant thought about it and took the initiative to take some out of the appeasement gifts given to the Ji, Chen and Ding families to fill in the gap.
Then let the servants bring it in together.
The next update will be around 8pm
