An old man and a young man at the door felt Jiang Huaixu's gaze and couldn't help but take a few more glances. They found that the young lady was sitting in the same place as the other doctors, and their expressions were slightly surprised.
After being surprised, the old woman wanted to take the young lady to an older doctor, but the young lady couldn't help turning her head and looking again and again.
Jiang Huaixu gave her a kind smile. The young lady was stunned and turned her head to talk to the old woman.
Soon the two of them walked to Jiang Huaixu's desk.
The old woman looked at Jiang Huaixu and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Jiang Huaixu nodded: "I am the new doctor at Qingnang Hall, specializing in women's diseases and injuries."
"How old are you?" the old woman couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"Mother-in-law, even if you think I'm too young, you should trust the judgment of our Qingnang Pavilion's Manager Pei. If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position, don't you think?"
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were still a little hesitant, Jiang Huaixu said, "Is this the sister who is seeing the doctor? If you need a prescription later, I will write it out and you can ask our shopkeeper to check if it is suitable. How about that?"
Having said this, the young lady tugged at the old woman's clothes with an earnest look in her eyes.
"Okay, then you help my granddaughter take a look..." The old woman stopped talking and looked around as if she was worried about something.
Jiang Huaixu hurriedly asked the medicine boy to pull up the white curtain. Once the curtain was drawn, outsiders could no longer be seen, and the tension between the grandfather and grandson was somewhat relieved.
The old woman pulled up the young lady's sleeves, revealing the rashes and blisters on her hands.
"My granddaughter has developed a lot of red rashes all over her body. She's already this old, the right age for marriage. She can't have any serious illness, otherwise no family would want her."
The young lady's eyes turned red after hearing what the old woman said, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Jiang Huaixu pursed her lips, and soon smiled again. She lifted the young lady's arm to take a closer look, and said quickly: "Mother-in-law, look at what you said. If you know me, you will think you love your granddaughter, but if you don't, you will think you raised her to this age just to be raised by your in-laws!"
She didn't wait for the old woman to reply and began to ask the young lady questions.
The old woman was a little embarrassed by her words, but seeing that Jiang Huaixu was quite serious and meticulous, she endured it.
Upon learning that the young lady also had rashes and blisters, Jiang Huaixu felt her pulse and asked her questions carefully. After a long pause, he said, "You should have come earlier. You have eczema. Spleen deficiency causes excessive moisture in the body. Strengthening the spleen and eliminating moisture will help."
The young lady was very nervous and asked, "I-I thought I had contracted some kind of foul thing and that's why I had these... Is there a cure for this?"
"Don't be nervous, it can be cured." Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "I'll give you an acupuncture first, and then prescribe two prescriptions, one for internal use and one for external use. The internal use is to strengthen the spleen and qi and remove dampness, while the external application is to relieve itching. You can't scratch the blisters on your body anymore, otherwise they will be infected with something bad..."
While giving instructions, he wrote down two prescriptions, and after giving the patients acupuncture, Jiang Huaixu sent the grandfather and grandson out.
After a while, the medicine boy Cangzhu lifted the curtain and showed his head. He said to Jiang Huaixu, who was writing the pulse case, "The grandfather and grandson really took the prescription to see our shopkeeper."
Jiang Huaixu looked over curiously, "How is it?"
Cang Shu gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Our shopkeeper looks as if everyone owes him a hundred or eighty taels. I've never seen him so happy before... What's wrong with your eyes?"
Jiang Huaixu's eyes were dry from watching Pei Songming, but she still had to watch him walk behind Cang Shu with a stern face. She lowered her head and slapped her forehead, "I didn't hear anything."
He buried his head in writing the pulse diagnosis again.
"Cangshu, I think you have become more capable!"
"Boss, Boss, I was wrong..."
After Pei Songming finished teaching Cangzhu a lesson, he picked up the pulse case written by Jiang Huaixu and took a look at it. Compared with other doctors, this pulse case was too detailed, but it was only beneficial to Jiang Huaixu.
He nodded and said, "If you have any questions about your condition in the future, just come and ask me."
Jiang Huaixu is obedient and should be.
As soon as Pei Songming left, she began to check her points balance. After checking, she held her face with her arms in frustration and sighed. There was no change in her points.
It seems that she won’t be able to earn points unless Futuan comes back.
In one day, Jiang Huaixu only admitted two patients, and the second one didn't want to wait in line.
Although no one came to him for medical treatment, Jiang Huaixu felt that he still learned a lot.
On the street, Ping'er, the maid of Yang's family, came out to buy things. When she passed by the tofu stall, she couldn't help but say a few words to the Second Madam and others she was familiar with.
As they talked, they talked about Jiang Huaixu.
"Is Doctor Jiang still at home?"
"That girl was invited by Manager Pei of Qingnang Hall to be a doctor. Today was her first day on duty. I heard from girl Wei that patients were reluctant to ask her to treat them because she was young!" The Second Wife's tone was somewhat complaining. She complained that those patients could not see the ability of her girl Xu. She was very confident in Jiang Huaixu.
Ping'er heard this and said hurriedly: "Young Doctor Jiang is a capable person. My wife likes her very much! She was still muttering yesterday..."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ping'er returned to the Yang residence and found an opportunity to tell Mrs. Yang about this.
Madam Yang teased her little daughter, "In all my life, I've only seen one young lady like her who can take a pulse, give acupuncture, and prescribe medicine. Doctors value experience the most, and age is more convincing. There's nothing we can do about it."
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll send an invitation to the Fang family... I'll write the invitation myself."
After asking the wet nurse and maid to take good care of the two daughters, Madam Yang went on to get busy.
The next day, just after Jiang Huaixu had lunch, Ping'er found Qingnang Pavilion.
"Doctor Jiang, my wife has something she wants to ask you to go to the Yang Mansion."
Jiang Huaixu didn't hesitate, "Then I'll go over now."
Ping'er said hurriedly: "If Doctor Jiang is busy, don't worry, you'll have some free time..."
"I've been idle all day." Jiang Huaixu said helplessly.
Her butt was almost nailed to the stool. She wanted to go to Doctor Qiao to admire his superb medical skills, but the old man didn't give her the slightest bit of a good face. If you didn't know better, you would think she owed him a hundred or eighty taels of silver.
Ping'er glanced at the empty aisle in front of Jiang Huaixu and smiled awkwardly, "Then Miss Jiang will come with me."
When Jiang Huaixu arrived at Yang's house with ease, he ran into Yang Zheng, who was hurried home, at the door.
Perhaps because he didn't notice Jiang Huaixu, Yang Zheng walked into the mansion without even giving her a glance. Ping'er bowed to him as if she didn't hear him.
Ping'er carefully observed Jiang Huaixu's expression and said, "Don't blame me, Doctor Jiang. The young master must have something urgent to discuss with the lady, so he didn't notice you."
"It's okay, let's go in." Jiang Huaixu said without any concern.
The two of them came to the main hall where Madam Yang received guests, and before they even walked in, they heard Yang Zheng's voice.
"Mom, I want to go horseback hunting with my classmates on Jiuxi Mountain."
Jiang Huaixu paused. Jiuxi Mountain? Could it be the Jiuxi Mountain behind her house?
