Chapter 360 Money is a life-saving medicine, but it can also be a death warrant
Song Lu quickly went to the outer courtyard and asked Yan Nanxiang to arrange for someone to invite Doctor Lin. "Go as soon as the rain stops. It's best not to delay."
When the Yannan Township heard that Cui Si was frightened, they immediately sent someone to invite her, as they had no time to wait for the rain to stop.
So, Doctor Lin, who had just returned from Wang's house, seen a few patients, took a breath and went back to the back yard to drink some tea, saw the person who came to invite him.
"Is Madam Cui frightened?" Doctor Lin's face changed slightly. This matter could be serious or minor. If it was minor, she could just take a breath and it would be over. But if it was serious, it was hard to say.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard the young man who was cooking medicine in the corridor suddenly ask, "How is Madam Cui now?"
"Yeah, how's it going now?"
Only then did Manting notice that there was a young man in the yard. It was not that he hadn't seen him just now, but the young man was sitting there and had no sense of presence.
Doctor Lin explained, "This is one of my juniors. He's the best at making medicine. Just call him Anian."
Seeing that the face was indeed unfamiliar, Manting nodded and did not ask any more questions. He just said, "I heard that he was so angry that he had a headache and stomachache."
"As for Madam Zhou, it was Madam Zhou who chose the Zhou family. She must be feeling bad about this happening."
Doctor Lin sighed and said, "For the poor, money can be a life-saving medicine, but it can also be a death warrant. This isn't Madam Cui's fault. I'll pack up and go with you."
"I'll go too." The young man put the medicine pot aside, covered the stove with an old clay bowl, and then stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Doctor Lin was puzzled because he didn't know how to see patients.
The young man nodded and said, "Just go and see. Madam Cui is such a kind person and she even gave me books. I should go and visit her."
Doctor Lin blew his nose and glared: "That was given to me!"
It was given to me, who do you think you are?
The young man said, "But I am the one reading the book. I should be grateful."
This made some sense. Doctor Lin thought for a moment and said, "Then you can come with me. Be my medicine boy today."
The young man smiled and agreed: "It's my pleasure."
Doctor Lin said to Manting, "Wait a minute. I'll pack some herbs. If you need to prescribe medicine, you won't have to make another trip."
After saying this, Doctor Lin hurried to the clinic outside.
Manting stood in the yard, watching the young man busy in the corridor. The more he looked at the figure, the more familiar it seemed, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.
A quarter of an hour later, the group left the pharmacy and headed towards Cui's house.
On the way, Doctor Lin reminded the young man: "When you meet people later, you must bow, keep your head down, don't look too much, and don't be startled."
"The people in these clans have too many rules, and they are all arrogant and look down on others."
When Dr. Lin was young, he also suffered from the condescending attitude of these people. In recent years, as he has grown older and his medical skills have gained some reputation, he has become more polite to them.
"I advised you to study medicine before. If you study medicine, few people will dare to look down on you in the future. After all, this medical skill can cure illnesses and save lives. If you are not in need of your help now, you may need it in the future."
"You see, when I go out to see patients, most of the time they personally arrange for carriages to pick them up."
The young man smiled and asked him, "Is Madam Cui also like this?"
"Not really." Doctor Lin also admitted that Cui Si was different from ordinary clan women. "She is a very reasonable person. She always acts according to 'mutual consent' and is not someone who likes to force others."
"And the way she looked at me was full of respect."
Although she didn't say it, she treated him as a person of equal status, invited him to see a doctor, treated him politely, gave him money, and treated him well. She also gave him a medical book, saying, "It is better for you to learn from it than to put it aside."
Her mind is not something that ordinary women can have.
Doctor Lin plucked out a piece of his beard and asked the young man, "Who is this Madam Cui you're talking about?"
Everyone in Yunzhou knows about the Cui family. They are truly a prominent family, and unlike many other clans, they are well-known for their good reputation and are praised by everyone. The people of Pingzhou follow their lead.
It can be said that if this family wanted to rebel, the people of Pingzhou would probably follow them.
The clan is the only one in the world that has achieved this.
It’s a pity that it’s too far away from their Yunzhou.
Back then, the people of Yuanzhou and Yunzhou envied the people of Pingzhou. The people of Pingzhou were not rich, but they had fields and land. There was one powerful clan in the territory that could suppress everyone else, and there was no dispute or war.
Unlike them, they fight every day. Not to mention whether they can make a living, they are lucky to be able to keep their lives.
"Could it be a lady from the Cui family of Pingzhou? I heard that Cui Wuniang married General Yue San..."
The young man cleared his throat and coughed: "Please be careful with your words, don't talk too much, and don't make random guesses."
When Doctor Lin realized that the Cui family's guards were still outside, he almost choked on his own saliva and dared not say anything.
The carriage slowly moved towards Cui's house. By the time it arrived at the door, it was already dark.
Song Lu came over first and invited the two of them to dinner. "My wife is still resting, and it's getting late. Please have some dinner first, and then come to see the doctor. If it's late, I'll have someone send you back home safely."
It’s a good arrangement, but don’t do it next time.
Doctor Lin immediately shook his head to refuse: "Please see the patient first. What is more important than seeing a doctor? Sometimes it makes a difference if you come earlier or later. You have to see the doctor first."
Maybe it can be saved if it is earlier, but it may not be saved if it is later.
As a doctor, you have to see patients first when you come in. How can you eat first?
Song Lu thought about it and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go clean up and invite you over later."
Song Lu returned to the inner courtyard, and then together with Yanzhi woke Cui Si up.
Cui Si did not sleep well. When she woke up, her brows were furrowed. She could not tell the difference between day and night, and she did not know where she was.
"Madam, are you awake? Doctor Lin is here. Madam, please get up and let Doctor Lin see you."
"I'm very tired and don't want to move." Cui Si just felt that she had a very uncomfortable sleep. She was not energetic when she woke up and didn't want to move.
Yanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Then my lady, please change your clothes and lie down. Just pull down the curtain once or twice.
Cui Si nodded and let them bring her clothes to change.
The two of them tidied up the dormitory, finally put down the curtain to cover the inside of the bed, and then Song Lu went to ask Doctor Lin.
"Old doctor, please come this way."
