Yu Jiao followed Zhao into the main hall. Yu Ruhai stood up and said to Yu Jinshu's classmate with a smile, "This is our fifth brother's wife, Miss Meng. She also knows some medical skills."
When Yu Jinshu saw Yu Jiao, he nudged Yu Jinyan with his shoulder and said jokingly, "When did she learn medical skills? The second house still keeps her at home. It's really shameless!"
Yu Jinyan frowned slightly and lowered his eyelids, unwilling to look at Yu Jiao.
Yu Jinshu's classmate Mu Nianjiu nodded slightly, not understanding why when it was mentioned that his uncle had carbuncle, why did Old Man Yu suddenly call a woman in? Even if this woman knew medical skills, could she cure carbuncle?
Yu Ruhai was a completely different person now than he was a few days ago. He said to Yu Jiao in a friendly manner, "This is Jinshu's classmate. His uncle has gangrene. Come and listen to his symptoms and see if there is a suitable prescription to treat him."
Yu Jiao looked indifferent. She found a stool and sat down. She looked directly at Yu Jinshu's classmate and asked, "Is the sore on your uncle's back shaped like a corn? How does it hurt when you press it? Is his tongue red with no coating, or red with white coating, or pale with thin white coating? How does the sore surface ooze after it ulcerate?"
An expert can tell whether there is a disease or not with just one look. Yu Jiao's question made Mu Nianjiu's eyes light up. The family had hired many doctors for his uncle, so Mu Nianjiu knew something about his uncle's condition.
He answered, "The carbuncle on my uncle's back is indeed in the shape of a millet. It is extremely painful. After the carbuncle ulcerates, the pus cannot drain smoothly. Auntie often helps my uncle squeeze the pus out with her hands, but the carbuncle does not scab over. Instead, it becomes more swollen and painful. My uncle has been suffering from carbuncle for the past six months. May I ask if Miss Meng has any way to cure it?"
Yu Jinshu put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a puzzled voice, "Jinyan, does she really know medical skills?"
Yu Jinyan, who had been reluctant to look at Yu Jiao, now raised his head and his gaze fell on Yu Jiao's face. The frivolous and wanton look of Meng Yujiao that night instantly emerged in his mind. Disgust flashed in his pupils and he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Yu Ruhai also looked at Yu Jiao. Carbuncle is not easy to cure. It often recurs and can cause other diseases. No doctor in the town or the city's pharmacies dares to say that he can cure carbuncle. As far as he knows, a man with carbuncle in a nearby village was so tortured by the disease that he jumped into the river and died.
If the carbuncle can really be cured, the Yu family will really become famous this time.
Yu Jiao glanced at Yu Ruhai, met his hopeful gaze, and smiled meaningfully.
Yu Ruhai moved his mouth and asked, "Meng girl, if you really have a cure, you must tell me, we can still discuss the rest."
After hearing what Yu Ruhai said, Yu Jiao retracted her gaze and said in a calm tone, "It can be cured, but I need to see the carbuncle on the patient with my own eyes before I can prescribe a prescription."
Mu Nianjiu was excited, "Can it really be cured?"
Yu Jiao stood up and said calmly, "If you want to be treated, bring your uncle here tomorrow."
Without saying any more nonsense, Yu Jiao turned around and walked out of the main hall and went straight back to the east room.
"Okay, I will bring my uncle here tomorrow, and I will trouble Miss Meng to treat my uncle then!" Mu Nianjiu did not dare to question it anymore. Anyway, his uncle had already seen many doctors, so this one wouldn't make a difference. If he could really be cured, everyone would be happy, and his uncle would definitely remember his filial piety.
"Jinshu, Jinyan, I have to go home and tell my uncle the good news, so I'll take my leave now!" Mu Nianjiu stood up and bowed to Yu Ruhai, "Grandpa Yu, I'll bring my uncle over tomorrow. Sorry to bother you!"
