Chapter 220: Fraud?
After lying down, covered with a thick quilt, Jiang Yuzhu successfully entered the role.
After pretending to be sick for a few days, Jiang Yuzhu successfully cheated. Not only did she look sick with makeup, she also had a secret weapon.
Her constitution is particularly sensitive to Salvia miltiorrhiza and Codonopsis pilosula. Just drinking a little will speed up her heartbeat, which is enough to change her pulse.
The doctor came to take the patient's pulse and noticed something, but he couldn't offer a solution.
Ningxiang went out again, and a quarter of an hour later brought in a young man in his twenties.
The young man had a regular appearance, but his expression was too serious. He seemed to have a habit of frowning, and there were deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.
"Doctor Yan, my wife has been ill for a few days. She has seen several doctors and taken several prescriptions, but she has not gotten better."
Ningxiang secretly looked at Doctor Yan and felt that he was difficult to talk to.
Just now at the gatehouse, Doctor Yan took the gatekeeper's pulse and gave him a plaster for treating chronic cold legs for free. Ningxiang then realized that he had a background of some importance and was the young master of Jishidiang.
After introducing the basic situation, Ningxiang went to the inner room to report the information she had gathered: "Madam, Doctor Yan is not a simple person!"
There are more than a hundred Jishidiangs in Da Qi. They are both medical clinics and medicine vendors, and they do business for wealthy families.
I heard that the doctors at Jishidiang are very skilled and can cure any disease with any medicine.
In the capital, Jiang Yuzhu passed by several times and heard that most of the wealthy families went to Jishiditang to seek medical treatment and medicine.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Yan Lin walked quickly into the inner room carrying a medicine box, bringing up a gust of wind.
Hongxiu and Hongjin followed closely behind, staring at the bed with eager eyes.
Faced with the two men's wary eyes, the other doctors felt somewhat uncomfortable. Most of them said they could not concentrate on taking patients' pulses and thus drove them away in disguise.
Yan Lin sat on a chair beside the bed as if no one was around.
Next, Jiang Yuzhu stretched out a hand, and Yan Lin closed his eyes and put his hand on it, and then there was no movement.
After a long while, just when Jiang Yuzhu was about to fall asleep, Yan Lin opened his eyes, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Doctor Yan, my wife's illness..."
Ningxiang hesitated and stepped forward, handing out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
According to the procedure, after taking the pulse, the doctor will first say a few irrelevant jargons, and then prescribe a prescription to end the consultation.
Yan Lin waved his hand, took out a handkerchief from the medicine box, handed it over and said, "Madam Xie, why don't you use the handkerchief to wipe your face? Most of the rouge and powder on your face contain lead powder. If you wear makeup for a long time, it will easily cause spots on your face."
Jiang Yuzhu slowly opened her eyes and stared at the handkerchief hesitantly.
Yan Lin leaned back in his chair, looking down at her with a look of scrutiny, and simply asked, "Why is Madam Xie pretending to be sick?"
The rapid pulse is just an illusion.
After running and jumping, a person's pulse will beat faster than usual.
Jiang Yuzhu has good blood and qi, and it can be seen that she uses a lot of medicated food for nourishment on a daily basis, and she has no problems at all.
There was a faint smell of alcohol by the bed.
Jiang Yuzhu was helped to sit up by the maid, and smelled the source of the wine. She asked, "Is this handkerchief soaked in wine?"
Yan Lin nodded seriously and explained: "It is originally used to disinfect wounds. Since Madam Xie has no external injuries, it can be used to cleanse her face."
Although the alcohol mixed with water is irritating, it can effectively remove the lead powder on the face and wipe it clean.
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
So Yan Lin used alcohol-like water as makeup remover? He knows a lot.
It can be seen that Yan Lin is not testing him, but has real ability.
Jiang Yuzhu wiped off her makeup and said, "Doctor Yan, I have my own reasons for pretending to be sick. I hope you can keep it a secret."
Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and stretched out five fingers with reluctance, saying that she was willing to pay five hundred taels of silver as hush money.
Yan Lin shook his head, his expression calm and unperturbed: "Thank you, Madam, the money is not necessary."
As a doctor, you have the responsibility to keep the patient's confidentiality.
Although Jiang Yuzhu is not a patient, there is no need for Yan Lin to be a big mouth.
Yan Lin had just arrived at the border town last night and heard the owner of Jishidiang muttering something. He didn't even have breakfast and went straight to Jiang Yuzhu's house.
I originally thought that I would have a chance to show my skills when encountering a difficult and complicated case, but it turned out to be a wasted trip.
"Ningxiang, give Doctor Yan the consultation fee!"
How could a doctor at Jishitang not be greedy for money? It's just a nice way of saying it.
Jiang Yuzhu asked Ningxiang to send the silver, but was rejected by Yan Lin again.
The two refused, and Jiang Yuzhu became more interested and asked, "Doctor Yan, other doctors who came to treat me were all frightened by the speed of my heartbeat. How come you can easily expose it?"
Yan Lin did not hide it and pointed to the small bowl placed outside.
"Thank you, Madam. I have a keen sense of smell. I smelled the scent of salvia miltiorrhiza when I entered the room. Everything is just speculation."
First, it was diagnosed that Jiang Yuzhu had no symptoms, and then based on her heart rate and the salvia water in the room, it was speculated that she had a sensitive constitution.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her forehead. It was a pity that a talent like Yan Lin didn’t go to the government office to investigate cases. He was born in the Year of the Dog!
"Doctor Yan, to be honest, this lady knows a thing or two about external injuries. We can discuss this if we have a chance."
There are not many doctors who can perform surgery in the camp in the north of the city, and there is an urgent need for people with excellent medical skills.
Yan Linlu's hands gave Jiang Yuzhu an idea.
If you recruit people under your command, it means you have more helpers.
"Thank you, Madam..."
Yan Lin was about to refuse when he heard the loud shouting of Hongli from the door.
"Madam, Liang An insisted on chopping wood and injured his hand. The wound is quite deep. I think it will need stitches!"
Speaking of which, Liang An is Jiang Yuzhu's man.
Liang An was injured, and several maids were very anxious. Hongli pulled Liang An into the house.
Hongli knows how to sew, but how can her skills compare to Madam's?
Seeing that Liang An was seriously injured, I had to trouble Madam for help.
"It was my carelessness..."
Liang An grimaced in pain and glanced downward, not daring to look at the wound on his hand again.
The palm of his hand was injured and blood was gushing out, dripping onto the wooden floor of the room.
"Is the bone exposed? It's quite serious, it needs stitches and bandages!"
Jiang Yuzhu had no intention of blaming Liang An, so she quickly took the medicine box and went forward to check Liang An's wound.
She had just taken out the mulberry bark thread when she heard a plop.
"Doctor Yan, you..."
Ningxiang was just beside her. She saw Doctor Yan suddenly turn pale and walk towards her wife.
Ningxiang was worried that Yan Lin wanted to get close to Madam and take advantage of her, so she stepped forward to stop him.
Yan Lin looked very bad. After Liang An came in, sweat broke out on his forehead. He took a step back and fell in another direction.
"Doctor Yan..."
I am a doctor, so what’s wrong with me?
Ningxiang had no idea what Yan Lin was up to. Thinking of her own small body, she decisively gave up on supporting him.
As a result, Yan Lin fell hard.
This scene happened so fast that the maids in the room were stunned.
Hong Jin twitched her lips and asked, "What's wrong with Doctor Yan?"
He had just exposed her wife for pretending to be sick. She was talking freely and seemed extremely confident. Why did she suddenly fall to the ground and couldn't get up?
Hong Xiu was also worried and asked suspiciously, "Could it be a scam?"
What does Doctor Yan want? Is he after money?
Just now, my wife clearly said that she would give me five hundred taels as a hush money. Do you think it’s too little?
Jiang Yuzhu walked around Yan Lin and shook her head, saying, "Don't think too much. He is simply fainting from blood."
