Yu Ruhai said with some embarrassment, "Mr. He is old, unlike Mr. Mu, so I need to think carefully before using medicine."
Although they were both carbuncle, the pulse was different. As a doctor, Yu Ruhai knew very well that when it came to diagnosing and prescribing medicine, a millimeter’s error could lead to a huge loss.
Upon hearing this, He Dongsheng immediately winked at the servant beside him, and the servant hurriedly took out two glittering silver ingots from his chest, one ingot weighing ten taels, and placed them on the table.
"Doctor Yu, as long as you can cure my father's illness, the medical fee can be negotiated." He Dongsheng said.
Yu Ruhai glanced at the silver ingots on the table and his heart trembled slightly. This middle-aged man named He was very generous. If he treated the patient, all the medical fees would have nothing to do with Meng Yujiao. If he cured the old man of the He family, once the news spread, his name, Yu Ruhai, would be famous throughout Changkui County. By that time, more people would come to see him, and he would have no worries about filling the empty cash box at home.
Just thinking about it made Yu Ruhai extremely excited. Without any further hesitation, he said, "I'll try my best. Mr. He is old, so my prescription may not work."
He Dongsheng immediately said, "Whether it can be cured or not, this money is for your hard work, Doctor Yu. If it can be cured, I will prepare a generous gift to thank you."
When Yu Ruhai heard this, he no longer had any worries. He first arranged for Yu Hanshan to go to the stream at the foot of the mountain to catch crucian carp, and asked Shen Songshi to go to the village to raise castrated sheep to get castrated sheep manure.
Yu Ruhai wrote out the prescription word for word according to the one Yu Jiao had written for the second master of the Mu family, and took out twenty Lianqiao Baidu Pills and Shuiniujiao Jiedu Pills that had been prepared earlier.
Seeing Yu Ruhai prescribe the medicine, He Dongsheng felt relieved.
The sky outside was gloomy and because of the rain, the fish came to the surface of the river to breathe. It didn't take Yu Hanshan much time to catch a crucian carp. Yu Ruhai didn't see how Yu Jiao fried or grilled the crucian carp that day, but with the help of the Song family, he quickly ground the crucian carp and sheep dung into powder.
Yu Ruhai applied medicine to the mottled carbuncle on the back of the old man of the He family's head in the same way that Yu Jiao applied medicine to Mu Yan's back carbuncle that day.
After explaining how to take the medicine, Yu Ruhai said, "If it's not serious, the carbuncle on the old man's head will all break out in three days. Then apply some medicine powder, along with the decoction and pills I prescribed, and he will be well in five days."
Seeing that Yu Ruhai was so confident, He Dongsheng asked the servant to give him another ten taels of silver and left a message, saying that he would come to thank him again after Mr. He's head carbuncle was healed.
After sending the He family out, Yu Ruhai looked very proud. He earned thirty taels of silver without any effort. Yu Ruhai was so happy in his heart, and secretly thanked God that he did not sell the prescription to Huichuntang last time.
Yu Ruhai specifically gave Yu Hanshan fifty cents and asked him to go to the wine seller in the neighboring village to get a pot of good wine so that he could drink a few cups at lunch.
During lunch, the atmosphere in the Yu family was particularly lively and harmonious. Having made so much money all of a sudden, Yu Ruhai felt more confident in speaking. He decided at the dinner table that after the rain stopped in a few days, he would send Yu Jinshu and Yu Zhizhou to the county school together to find a prestigious teacher to write a letter of recommendation for them for the autumn examination.
After so many days of making a fuss, Zhang finally got a result that made her feel at ease. She was very happy. Yu Ruhai drank a few glasses of wine and specifically told his family to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone else that Yu Jiao knew medical skills. If outsiders asked, they could only say that all the patients who came to the Yu family for treatment were cured by him.
The first and third wives responded, only the second wife remained silent. Yu Ruhai glanced at them, being both strict and kind. He said that it was for the sake of Yu Jiao's reputation, and also that it was to restore the reputation of the Yu family's ancestors.
Yu Mengshan and Song had no choice but to express their opinions as well.
Yu Ruhai was very proud of himself. He drank a few more glasses of wine with Yu Hanshan, then happily fell asleep on the bed.
