"Excuse me, is this Madam Ding?" the old man bowed and asked in a low voice.
"That's right." When he called her Madam Ding, Jian Ning knew that he had come to ask for medicine for Lord Yang. Lord Yang and his wife didn't know her last name was Jian, and Ding Zhu told them that she was her sister-in-law, so they naturally gave her her husband's last name.
Since the man came for a hidden illness, Jian Ning acted like a treasure and deliberately asked, "I don't know the old man. How did you know my husband's last name is Ding? And why did you come to me?"
The old man smiled, his eyes sweeping over the wooden barrel in Jian Ning's hands and Erniu and Sanniu, "Of course I have something to ask of you, Madam Ding. Don't worry, Madam Ding, go and do your work first. I'll be waiting in the lobby downstairs. It won't be too late to talk to you after you finish your work."
Jian Ning didn't bother to be polite with him. "Then please wait a moment. I'll give the two kids a shower and come back soon. It will be quick."
Initially, Jian Ning wanted to ask him to go upstairs and have Ding Youtian and the others sit with him for a while, but then she thought it was better to be cautious. What if it was Jiang Tongpan, not Lord Yang, who sent him? That would be disastrous. Although the old man looked kind, the latter possibility was very small, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew if he was a villain with a kind face but a wicked heart?
After Jian Ning finished bathing Erniu and Sanniu, she came out and didn't see the old man among the guests dining in the lobby. Just as she was wondering, a waiter came up to her and said, "The guest you spoke to earlier has requested a secluded room upstairs. Please go and chat with me there. I'll be waiting for you here and will take you there in a moment."
"Okay, thank you, little brother." Jian Ning sent Erniu and Sanniu back upstairs, put down the wooden barrel and the two children's clothes, and said hello to Ding Youtian. Ding Youtian ordered Tong Bajin to go with her.
"You just stay outside." Jian Ning didn't let Tong Bajin follow her into the room. After the second brother reported to the old man, she went in alone.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?" Jian Ning asked as he walked in.
The old man pointed at the table and came over from the window. He smiled and said, "My last name is Yao, you can call me Uncle Yao. I heard that Madam Ding is a great doctor, so I came here specifically to ask for medicine for my adopted son. I hope you can forgive my intrusion."
"I'm a doctor, so how could I be so presumptuous? I just need to observe, listen, ask, and palpate before I can prescribe the right medicine. How can I prescribe medicine without seeing the patient himself?"
"No, Madam Ding's medical skills are superb, how can they be compared with ordinary doctors in the world? Let me explain the cause of the disease in detail to you and see if there is any medicine that can cure it. Is it possible?"
"That's fine, but I can't guarantee it will work. Tell me about it first."
Yao Bo was actually a loyal servant of Lord Yang. He watched Lord Yang grow up. Lord Yang's father was originally a minor official in the State of Yan. After the State of Yan was conquered by Nanyangzi and Hua Xinzi, his father died of depression soon after and the family fell into decline. Yao Bo never left him and his mother and son.
There was nothing wrong with him calling Lord Yang his adopted son. Lord Yang also regarded him as an elder and had been placing him in his mansion to live out his days. Madam Yang also had great respect for him.
If Lord Yang were in modern times, he would be a true water conservancy engineer. No matter which province or county he served in, he was always fascinated by water conservancy and spent most of his time on water conservancy research.
There was also the Yellow River in this time and space. Due to the loose loess structure in the middle reaches and concentrated rainfall, serious soil erosion occurred. The silt transported to the middle and lower reaches every year was deposited on the riverbed. Over time, the riverbed rose and the lower reaches often broke their banks during heavy rains, causing floods and destroying countless houses.
In the 23rd year of Yongping, the Yellow River broke its dike. Yang, the then magistrate of Xing County, led all the county's officers, soldiers and civilians to the flood site to command and supervise the rescue of the victims. He also took the lead in commanding the young and strong people in the county to drain the water and fought hard in the sewage and mud for three days and two nights.
At dawn on the last day of the night, the exhausted Lord Yang suddenly felt something moving in his crotch. He looked closely and saw many small black things swimming around in the water. He immediately felt an itch in his crotch and took a hot bath immediately after returning home. He almost scratched his crotch to pieces.
Later, he took some medicine, and although the itching went away, he suffered from serious heart disease, which was beyond human control. Over the years, Uncle Yao had secretly sought out countless famous doctors for him, but no one could cure him.
Although Yao Bo was an old man, he couldn't help but feel his face flushed and looked a little uncomfortable when he mentioned that it was inhumane to a young female doctor like Jian Ning.
Jian Ning, however, remained calm. She assumed those little creatures were likely midges, which, like mosquitoes, sucked human blood. A bite would not only cause intense itching but also cause a variety of illnesses. However, Lord Yang's impotence was more likely caused by psychological complications. After a moment's reflection, she smiled and said, "Uncle Yao, you are an elder, so I won't hide it from you."
She smiled and told Uncle Yao, "You've come at the right time. My master is a legendary doctor who can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Your adopted son's illness is not difficult to treat. I cured your adopted son of the same disease just last month. That brave man was bitten by a leech and sought medical treatment for seven or eight years without success. I just happened to have more than half of the medicine I prescribed for him left. I'll go back to the house and get it for you. Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
The reason why Jian Ning said this was simply to ask Yao Bo to go back and tell Lord Yang that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, and only in this way can the effect of medicine be achieved.
She went back to the house to get the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, testosterone undecanoate soft capsules and Turtle and Deer Kidney-tonifying Pills, removed the packaging box and put them in a gauze bag, and handed them to Uncle Yao. After telling him the usage and dosage, Uncle Yao was so excited that his lips trembled, and he immediately reached into his arms to take the medical fee and handed it to her.
"Uncle Yao, you don't have to rush to pay the consultation fee. Take it back and give it to your adopted son. If it works, you can return it later. I guarantee that he will be cured before he finishes taking these medicines."
This was the first time Jian Ning had made such a promise in her medical career. It couldn't be helped; Lord Yang was suffering from a heart attack. Furthermore, Jian Ning respected him for his dedication to flood control as a local official. As a special police officer, she had also experienced flood control and rescue work, and had witnessed firsthand how a county leader led the charge and stood firm on the front lines of flood control.
It is difficult to appreciate the sudden feeling of being touched if you have not participated in many things. In short, she respects all officials who truly serve the people, no matter how big or small their official positions are. Some people even remain unknown throughout their entire lives, but always stick to their posts without regrets and make contributions. Some people even sacrifice their precious lives for this!
Including herself and her fallen comrades, special police officers die in the line of duty every year, truly dedicating their youth and blood to the motherland!
She gave it to Yao Bo. When she returned to the room, Ding Youtian was writing a petition. When he saw her come in, he looked up and asked her, "How is it? Can it be cured?"
"Ninety percent sure, it's not a big deal. He's mainly worried." Jian Ning tilted his head to look at the complaint he had written. "You said the victim is the second son of the Tongpan family. Will Lord Yang seek justice for Xu Dali and offend Tongpan Jiang?"
