Chapter 874 Tension
The next day, Bai Shan asked Daji to quietly go to the provincial school to ask for leave for him, and then went to the bookstore with Manbao.
Doctor Ji was on duty this morning, and he and Manbao went to Guanjiazhuang to see patients. He brought all the necessary medicines with him, and was stunned when he saw Manbao bringing Bai Shan.
Manbao explained, "Guan Erlang invited me to be his guest. He knew I was going today, so he came along."
Doctor Ji glanced at Bai Shan, a little confused about what they were going to do. After all, the Guan family had a special relationship with the Yizhou Palace, and they had just had a bad relationship with the Yizhou Palace, and gained a good reputation of not fearing the powerful and being proud and arrogant. Now they wanted to seek refuge with the Yizhou Palace through another route?
Doctor Ji didn't want Manbao to get involved in these things, so he nodded to Bai Shan and said to Manbao, "You and I will get in the same car, and let's talk about Master Guan's condition."
Manbao agreed and got into the car with Doctor Ji.
But Doctor Ji didn't mention Master Guan. Instead, he said, "Manbao, we are doctors. We are different from them in studying. They want to stand out, take exams, take civil service exams, and seek support from aristocratic families and powerful people. It's too tiring. We need to treat patients, so you should not interfere in the affairs of the court."
Manbao nodded, "I won't get involved."
Doctor Ji looked at her for a long moment, then pointed to the lane behind him and said, "You shouldn't get involved in his affairs, okay?"
Manbao stopped nodding his head and said, "Mr. Ji, that's my junior brother."
Although Manbao had not yet taken Doctor Ji as his teacher, he had always studied medicine with him and considered him a half-teacher. This was the first time Manbao had so clearly refuted Doctor Ji.
Doctor Ji was stunned for a moment and then said, "Manbao, your paths are different."
Manbao didn't say anything.
Doctor Ji sighed when he saw her stubborn look, and the two of them went to Guan's house in silence.
Guan Dalang and Guan Erlang attached great importance to this consultation and waited at the door.
This startled Doctor Ji, who often visited the house, and he quickly asked, "Has Master Guan's condition changed?"
Manbao stood behind Doctor Ji with his head lowered, secretly winking at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan nodded slightly at her, looked up at Guan Dalang and Guan Erlang, and bowed.
Guan Dalang and Guan Erlang knew that he was a student of the provincial school and also a son of an aristocratic family. They did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed in return. At the same time, they replied to Doctor Ji's words, "It's still the same as before, but father's appetite has been getting worse and worse. He has been less and less interested in eating these past two days."
When a person is in physical pain, he naturally doesn't want to eat.
Doctor Ji smiled and comforted him, "I'll go take a look. Maybe it's because your spleen and stomach are not in harmony, so your appetite is not good?"
Doctor Ji took Manbao away first.
When Guan Dalang saw Bai Shan following him, they all went to the main courtyard together.
The main courtyard was completely silent. Master Guan had just lost his temper, and the servants in the courtyard walked in and out very quietly, fearing that they would make any noise.
Manbao, who had been here several times, was no longer surprised. He knew that Mr. Guan could not stand any noise because of his headache. Sometimes a little noise could give him a splitting headache, so he subconsciously slowed down his steps when he entered the room.
But the sound of the five of them walking together still made Master Guan frown.
He opened his eyes on the recliner and was about to lose his temper, but when he saw it was Doctor Ji, he paused. He glanced at the people who came and was stunned when he saw Bai Shan walking next to Manbao. He sat up involuntarily.
He stared at Bai Shan in surprise and doubt, and his back couldn't help but tense slightly.
Bai Shan was also looking up at Master Guan curiously. When he met his gaze, he paused. A flash of lightning flashed through his mind. He almost immediately thought of one thing: if the person his father went to see that year was Master Guan, then he must have recognized his father.
Does he look like his father?
Even if the person his father was going to see was not him, he often followed the King of Yizhou, and his father was the magistrate of Shu County, so he must have met his father.
Bai Shan felt a little annoyed, blaming himself for not thinking things through, but it was impossible to retreat now, so he could only move forward with Manbao without making a sound.
But Manbao still noticed Bai Shan's pause. She also looked at Master Guan and saw that his eyes had moved away from Bai Shan, but he sat up straight on the recliner.
Manbao, who had been here several times, could see his nervousness at a glance. You know, when she and Doctor Ji came to see him before, he always lay down, with a look of disgust on his face, unwilling to see the doctor.
She is a doctor, so she naturally knows how to tell whether a person is nervous or relaxed.
Just as he was thinking this, Master Guan had already slowly laid down on the chair, and seemed to be relaxed again. He waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it. I don't plan to treat it anymore."
Doctor Ji had already expertly dragged a chair over and sat beside him. Manbao cleverly brought over a small table, took the pulse pillow from the medicine box, and prepared the needles Doctor Ji would use...
Doctor Ji had already taken Master Guan's hand to feel his pulse. Master Guan obeyed without struggling. He leaned back in the recliner, raised his head and looked at Bai Shan, asking doubtfully, "Who is this young master..."
Bai Shan quickly bowed and said, "I am Bai Shan, a friend of Brother Guan. I came to visit you and I want to meet the elders first."
Bai Shan didn't mention Manbao, so it seemed that he was just Guan Erlang's friend.
Guan Erlang didn't know when they became so close that they even called him Brother Guan Er, but when he met his father's gaze, he still smiled and nodded.
Master Guan asked, "You two have quite a big age gap, how did you meet?"
Just as Guan Erlang was about to speak, Bai Shan quickly replied, "I'm currently a student at the prefectural academy. I met Guan Erge the other day when I attended a friend's birthday party. I feel like we met too late."
Master Guan asked, "Prefectural School? You've already been admitted to the Prefectural School at such a young age? Oh, and isn't there going to be classes at the Prefectural School today?"
Doctor Ji looked up at Master Guan, slightly increased the pressure on his pulse, and said, "Don't move, I just heard some movement."
Manbao immediately said, "Mr. Ji, let me do it."
Doctor Ji looked up at Manbao and met her eager eyes. He finally withdrew his hand and said calmly, "When listening to the pulse, you must be calm. Look, smell, ask, and feel. Don't miss any of them."
Even Master Guan, who was anxiously awaiting Bai Shan's answer, couldn't help but glare at Doctor Ji and asked, "Are you going to use me as a training ground for your apprentice?"
However, Master Guan did not withdraw his hand. In his opinion, it was better to take Manbao's pulse than to take the pulse of Doctor Ji, the old fox. After all, who knew what this old fox could hear?
He didn't know that because of his status, Manbao could hear and guess just as much as Doctor Ji.
As soon as his hands touched, Manbao noticed something was wrong with Master Guan. This time he was much more nervous than usual. Although he had tried his best to relax, the feeling of truly relaxed muscles was different from pretending to relax.
It's stuck. It's so stuck that I can't bear it.
So I don't know when the next chapter will be released, I'll try to post it before 10 o'clock
