Chapter 525: Prescribing medicine randomly?
After looking at all the treasures in the brocade box, Fubao took a step back without hesitation.
She looked at Madam Hou seriously and said crisply, "Grandma, these things are too expensive. If you want to pay for the consultation, you should give me some money, right? I want to save money to buy my mother a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes. Her shoes don't have any patterns. I see that my aunt's embroidered shoes are very beautiful and must be very expensive, so I want to save money to buy my mother a pair too. So, grandma, you should give me some money, right?"
Fubao's words made all the ladies present feel pity for her. Where did this little girl come from? She wouldn't tell me when asked, but her accent was definitely not from the capital. The family education was too good. In addition, the child was smart, good-looking, and had medical skills. She was simply a perfect baby.
"Then do you know what size your mother wears? I can just give you a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes as your consultation fee. Is that okay with you?" The Marquis's wife was well versed in gift-giving. She was planning to bribe Fubao with a large sum of money today, but for some reason, this little girl was not tempted at all. She didn't know if she didn't know the value of things or if she really regarded money as dirt.
For a woman like her living in a secluded house, it is such a lucky thing to be able to meet a female doctor who treats women's diseases. She can also use this doctor to consolidate her network. After all, there is really a lack of such doctors in the back house. Her old sisters must have the same troubles as her. If she can introduce such a powerful doctor to them, they will definitely owe her a favor. Don't underestimate this favor, it can play a big role at a critical moment.
But the little girl just wouldn't take the bait, and she was helpless. Fortunately, the little girl still had a soft spot, which was filial piety, and she could make good use of it.
As expected, Fubao was immediately happy after hearing this, "Really? I like the pair on my aunt's feet, as long as they are exactly the same. My mother's feet are bigger than my aunt's because she often works in the fields..."
As Fubao was talking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have let something slip, so she quickly covered her mouth.
But it was too late, everyone heard her.
"Little Doctor, your mother still works in the fields? So your family is from the village?"
The Marquis's wife's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was noticeably colder.
Fubao also noticed the change in the Marquis's wife, but since she had already let it slip, there was nothing to hide. What happened in the village? The village was much more fun than the capital. There were not so many rules. The villagers were very simple and honest, and they spoke directly, without people having to guess.
"Yes, my father and mother are from the village, and so am I. We are all peasants."
Fubao raised his little head proudly, with a feeling of "I am proud of being a commoner".
Li Ruiyang understood what Mrs. Hou meant when she asked. She knew that her mother doubted Fubao's medical skills.
However, even if Fubao did not reveal his identity himself, the marquis's wife did not really trust Fubao completely. She still had to find a doctor to see if the prescription could be taken, and also to make sure whether her daughter was really poisoned. It was impossible for her to place all her hopes on a little girl.
After all, it still comes down to what Fubao said: the waters in the city are too deep, and she would rather stay in the countryside.
Fubao's frank answer made the marquis' wife at a loss for how to refute. She did not mean to look down on the peasant, but she felt that the child was not the heir of a medical family and was most likely a charlatan. She might have deliberately designed a scene to be rescued by her daughter.
Now everything was Mrs. Hou's own suspicion. She thought about all the dramas in the backyard and attributed them to Fubao. However, she quickly overturned her own idea. Not to mention that the girl was only a few years old and it was impossible for her to have such a mind. Just looking at Fubao's identity, it was impossible for her to recognize the wife of the Prime Minister as soon as she entered the city, especially when she was wearing a veil.
Seeing the situation like this, Fubao didn't want to waste time on it anymore. It was obvious that the other party didn't believe her.
"Madam, old lady, I have to go back. If you think there is something wrong with my prescription, you can go find another doctor to diagnose it. I don't want the reward. But please send me there. The capital is too big and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place."
Fubao now understood the way they addressed him here and immediately changed his words.
Li Ruiyang was a little anxious. Even though she knew that Fubao had made up an identity, her intuition told her that this little girl was no ordinary person and she couldn't offend her.
"Fubao, don't worry, Auntie will definitely take you back. It's getting late today, I'll let Zhenzhu take you back personally."
Fubao followed her own habit and bowed directly instead of kneeling like Zhenzhu and the others. She felt that this was more elegant and free and easy.
Zhenzhu walked forward, took Fubao and walked out.
Li Ruiyang ordered Yuanbao: "Yuanbao, take one hundred taels of silver and give it to Fubao as a consultation fee. Let Zhenzhu take good care of Fubao."
Yuanbao immediately agreed and hurriedly chased after him.
Madam Hou disagreed and said, "Ruiyang, this girl's identity is fake, and her medical skills may also be fake. You can't trust her easily. You still need to find a doctor to take a serious look at her."
"Mom, even if her identity is fake, what she said is true, right? This shows that she is indeed a capable person."
"Maybe what she said was just a coincidence. Give me the prescription and I'll show it to the doctor. I'll ask the doctor to check your pulse later. If what the doctor says is consistent with what the little girl said, you can use the ointment she sent tomorrow without worry."
The Marquis's wife would not allow her daughter to make any more mistakes.
Li Ruiyang knew that her mother was doing this for her own good, so she did not refuse. However, she felt in her heart that Fubao must have real ability.
Soon, the doctor was called in, and Li Ruiyang was already wearing a veil.
After the doctor examined his pulse, the result was exactly the same as Fubao's, that he was severely poisoned.
Now the Marquis’ wife had to believe it even if she didn’t want to.
"Yuanbao, quickly take out the prescription and show it to the doctor."
Mrs. Hou remembered the prescription left by Fubao and immediately instructed Yuanbao.
Yuanbao reached into his sleeve pocket, took out the prescription and handed it to the doctor.
"Doctor, can you see if this prescription can cure this poison?"
The doctor took a look at the prescription and shook his head.
The Marquis's wife couldn't help but clench her hands and became nervous. It seemed that the little girl was indeed a liar.
"From the prescription, it is indeed a good detoxification remedy. However, I don't know what poison Madam has been poisoned with, so I can't see any problem with this prescription. If I want to prescribe a prescription, I must find out what Madam has eaten recently. Only then can I prescribe the right medicine."
Li Ruiyang also thought of this, and the firm trust in his heart began to waver.
Could it be that Fubao really prescribed the prescription randomly?
