Chapter 540: Late-maturing Kong Mingxue
After waking up, his face turned red. He hurriedly rolled up his trousers into a ball, then wrapped them with cloth. He then told Lian Shun to throw them away quietly and even asked Lian Shun to cover him with a new bed sheet.
But he underestimated his mother's intelligence. When Wan Xian saw her son suddenly change his bedding, she immediately understood.
"Dad, no wonder our son refuses to get married, it turns out he's a late-ripening peach!" She ran back into the house excitedly and shouted to Kong Yuanbao who had just woken up.
"What? What peaches? Are the peaches ripe? No, that's not right. It's only been a few months. Do you want to eat peaches?"
Kong Yuanbao was not awake yet. He looked at Wan Xian with one eye raised and the other drooped.
"What? I mean, our son matured late and didn't know anything about sex before. No wonder other people's sons love to go to brothels, but our son plays with Bujiu all day long. I thought he..."
Wan Xian felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she had misunderstood her son for a long time.
"Oh, so that's what happened. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten about it. Our son seems to be different from me when I was young. When I was fourteen or fifteen, he started to..." Kong Yuanbao was halfway through his speech when he realized that the lady in front of him was glaring at him viciously.
He quickly shut his mouth.
"What? Do you have another lover behind my back?" Wan Xian no longer cared about her son's affairs. She put one hand on her waist and pinched Kong Yuanbao's ear with the other.
"Oh, hiss, my wife, please forgive me, I didn't say anything. How could I have a lover? Don't you know that you are the only one in my heart? At that time, I dreamed of you every night, and I always had to change clothes when I woke up. Fortunately, I married you, otherwise it would be so hard for me to endure." Kong Yuanbao grimaced in pain.
"Hmph, if you dare to lie to me, you're done for!" Wan Xian glared at him before letting go.
After such a commotion, she even forgot why she went back to the house.
The two of them simply linked arms and went to the main room to have breakfast.
The end of the Chen hour.
Shops on the street opened one after another, and Jiang Fubao also came to Yaoxiang Restaurant.
She opened a clinic at the age of nine, and in just one year, she became the best doctor in town.
I sat down and the chair wasn't even warm yet, and already a patient came.
"You are the famous little miracle doctor, right? I'm from the neighboring town of Baishui. I came here before dawn. There are only doctors in Baishui Town, but no female doctors, so I'm really embarrassed to meet you..." The woman didn't say where she was feeling unwell, but instead explained it first.
Her face was slightly yellow and she looked very unwell.
Although I knew Jiang Fubao was young, I was still surprised when I saw her figure.
He is only ten years old. How good can medical technology be?
But her family couldn't afford a female doctor, so she could only try her luck.
"Well, put your hand here. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Fubao patted the pillow and the woman quickly put it on.
Jiang Fubao asked while taking the patient's pulse.
"My lower abdomen is always bloated and painful. It's so sore and painful that I can't even stand up straight. I went to see a doctor and mentioned it vaguely, but the medicine they prescribed was useless.
The pain has been getting more frequent recently. I have to change two pairs of panties a day. My period is coming later and later, only once every three months..." Halfway through her speech, the woman's stomach seemed to start hurting again.
Her face turned pale, she held her stomach with her left hand, and her waist was bent a lot.
"Go lie down on the bed first. You don't just have leukorrhea. I'll give you acupuncture to relieve the pain." Jiang Fubao stood up, opened the drawer and took out the silver needles. Then she took the woman to the left side of the clinic and asked the maid to lift the screen to cover the bed before she prepared to give you the acupuncture.
"Have you ever given birth?" The woman looked to be around thirty years old, so it was very likely that she had given birth before, but just to be on the safe side, Jiang Fubao still asked.
After all, the acupuncture techniques of the two are very different.
"Yes, I gave birth to a son and a daughter." The woman showed her belly, her brows furrowed in pain.
"Okay." Jiang Fubao responded and started to give the injection.
Four inches below the umbilicus, insert a straight needle two and a half inches, and then use the lifting and inserting technique to first drain and then replenish.
"Dan'er, bring me the lit moxa stick." With the silver needle left in the woman's abdomen, Jiang Fubao shouted to Dan'er outside the screen.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Dan'er was very quick and brought the moxa sticks in a short while.
White smoke was coming out of it. Jiang Fubao took it and smoked the woman's navel.
After fumigation, remove the needle.
It was a quarter of an hour later.
"How is it? Does it still hurt?" Jiang Fubao asked her gently.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt at all. You're really a miracle doctor!" The woman felt better and her face was filled with smiles.
"I'll write you a prescription and seven recipes for medicinal foods. Take them on the second floor of my clinic for seven consecutive days and you can go home. You'd better stay in the town during these seven days. Also, come here every day. I will give you acupuncture and moxa fumigation."
As Jiang Fubao spoke, he picked up the brush and began to write.
"Okay, I'll listen to the little doctor." The woman had been ill for so long that she was almost dying. As long as she could be cured and allowed to live in the town for a year, she would be willing.
"Lu'er, give this medicinal recipe to my second sister and let her make today's. Do you need to get some medicine in my clinic?" Jiang Fubao handed Lu'er a piece of paper and looked at the woman sitting across the table.
"Yes, I must see the little miracle doctor. I only trust the little miracle doctor." Jiang Fubao's medical skills had already conquered her.
"Okay, Dan'er, go get the medicine." Jiang Fubao handed Dan'er another piece of paper.
"Little doctor, how much is the total for the consultation, medicine, and medicated food?" The woman took out her purse and looked at her cautiously.
Although her family lived well, they were not rich enough to have no shortage of money.
Worried that it was too expensive and that she didn't have enough money, her voice became much weaker.
"We have a benefit in our clinic. We don't charge acupuncture and moxibustion for women who come to see us for gynecological diseases. So you only need to pay for the medicine and the medicated food, a total of five taels."
This benefit was set by Jiang Fubao.
The reason she opened the clinic was to treat these women.
Having made so much money, she almost forgot her original intention.
Logically speaking, acupuncture, moxa fumigation, and seven days of medicated food and herbs would cost at least ten taels of silver.
But Jiang Fubao only took five taels.
The cost was four taels, and she only made one tael of silver, which was already very conscientious.
"Okay, here you go." The woman had seen so many doctors and physicians, so she naturally knew that five taels of silver was very cheap. She became more respectful to Jiang Fubao.
"Two ounces of radish slices, one ounce of bitter herbs, one ounce of honeysuckle, one ounce of dandelion, and one ounce of rehmannia root. Oh, the kitchen didn't buy any radish today, Shitou, go to the vegetable market and buy some."
Jiang Ruyi, who was picking up medicine from the kitchen cabinet, screamed.
Several young cooks were busy preparing the soup, and it was not until Pan Shitou bought the radish that the cold soup was ready.
