Chapter 42: Shrewdness

Pang Mu asked nervously, "Son, what's wrong?" โ€

Lieutenant Pang said loudly in his mother's ear: "Mother, it's okay, there is urgent business to deal with." I'll go first. โ€

"Okay, you go get busy."

Lieutenant Pang walked to the side of the bed, bent down, and touched Yu'er's emaciated pretty face lovingly: "Yu'er, you have a good rest, Mr. Du is here, no problem!" โ€

"Hmmm! Sir...... be careful, ......! Yu'er said in a weak voice.

"Don't worry! I'll come back to accompany you after I've arranged my official duties! Lieutenant Pang arched his hand to Du Wenhao and hurriedly went out.

Du Wenhao sat down on the edge of the bed, the second grandmother Yu'er's personal maid helped to put the second grandmother's arm flat, Du Wenhao took three fingers to concentrate on the pulse, and probed her forehead with the back of his hand, looked at her face, nodded, and said: "It's not in the way, grandma's illness is better than yesterday, I will increase or decrease the prescription again, continue to take it, according to this scene, it won't take four or five days, grandma can go to the ground."

Everyone nodded happily, but Pang Mu turned her ear sideways and asked, "Son-in-law?" No, no, you can't be a son-in-law, Mr. Du is a famous doctor now, how can he be a big deal, he will be laughed at! I won't let it either! Or ask Yuqin to marry you and your Pang family, and no matter what your family wealth is, marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, even if you eat bran vegetables, it will be your Du family! I believe you won't treat Yuqin badly! โ€

Du Wenhao was slightly stunned, and glanced at Pang's mother suspiciously, listening to what the old lady was saying, it was in response to what she said to herself and Pang's county lieutenant, she was deliberately pretending to be deaf and stupid, telling herself that no matter whether she had family wealth or not, she was willing to marry her granddaughter Pang Yuqin to herself. Glancing at Liu again, seeing that he seemed to be smiling, he didn't seem to be surprised or embarrassed by the old lady's words, and he was even more sure that the old lady was intentional, and she could marry her daughter to herself without hesitation, if she wasn't really optimistic about herself, no one would have made this kind of decision, and she couldn't help but be full of gratitude for the old lady's trust.

Liu beckoned Pang Yuqin over, the two muttered a few words, Liu smiled, nodded again and again, and said to Du Wenhao: "Listen to Qin'er, Mr. Du has promised her to study medicine with Mr. โ€

"Yes!"

"That's really good, I told the old lady that if you agree to teach Qin'er to study medicine, we will take some private money out and invest in your Wuweitang, and by the way, let Qin'er take care of it for us, so that there is also an explanation to the outside world, since you agreed, I will go and talk to Shopkeeper Lin about this."

Pang Yuqin interjected: "Mother, just now Shopkeeper Lin and Mr. Du talked about the joint shares, and Mr. Du used medical skills to share two shares. Now Mr. Du is also half the owner of Wuweitang. He has already promised us to buy shares, and he will be the shopkeeper of Lin. โ€

"Oh, that's great. Please ask Mr. to prescribe medicine for Yu'er, let's go to the shopkeeper Lin to talk about the merger! โ€

The old lady listened with her ears tilted all the time, and asked blankly, "What are you talking about?" โ€

Pang Yuqin said loudly in the old lady's ear: "Grandma! Mr. Du agreed to study medicine with him! โ€

"Good wife! Of course, you have to be a good wife after you pass the door, follow your father at home, and marry your husband! โ€

Pang Yuqin was so ashamed that she stomped her feet, glanced at Du Wenhao, and saw that he seemed to be smiling at herself, she was even more ashamed, shook Pang's mother's arm, leaned into her ear and said loudly: "It's not a virtuous ......, that's what, it's studying medicine!" Now my mother is going to discuss with Shopkeeper Lin about buying shares. โ€

Now the old lady heard it clearly, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" Let's go, let's discuss, grandma will pay! โ€

Du Wenhao walked to the table at this time, picked up the pen and wanted to write a prescription, but there was naturally no ink in the inkstone, as if there was a tacit understanding, Pang Yuqin had already taken small steps over, and studied the pine ink.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Pang Yuqin's body, Du Wenhao wrote a prescription crookedly, increased or decreased the original prescription according to the improvement of symptoms, picked it up, and found that Xue Fei'er was not in the room, and said strangely: "What about Fei'er?" โ€

Pang Yuqin said: "My brother is always crying, Fei'er said to find a toy to tease him, he stopped crying, this time he hasn't come back." โ€

"Yes, forget it, I'll go back and decoct the second grandmother by myself, anyway, they're still waiting for me to go back to eat."

Du Wenhao was about to leave, when he heard a rush of footsteps and ran upstairs, with the sound of a rattle, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Xue Fei'er came in with a rattle in her hand and a smile: "Hehe, the fun is coming!" - Hey, Du Langzhong, are you here? โ€

"yes, I was about to ask you to get the medicine, only to find out that you weren't there!"

"Humph! You only have Sister Yuqin in your eyes, then you can see us! Xue Fei'er deliberately ignored him, shook the rattle and walked to the little young master held by the nurse, and shook the rattle: "Hehe, doesn't it sound good?" Don't cry, listen to the ratt......le, don't cry, don't cry, the rattle is good, you listen to ......, and cry! I won't let you cry anymore! โ€ฆโ€ฆ Listen up! That's good! โ€ฆโ€ฆ Why are you still crying......"

The little guy was only a few months old, and he couldn't understand her words, so he just pulled a broken gong and cried hysterically, ignoring the rattle in Xue Fei'er's hand.

Du Wenhao walked over, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said, "The child seems to be sick, sit down and let me see." โ€

The nurse hurriedly sat down on the stool with the child in her arms and untied the swaddling clothes, Du Wenhao wanted to see the child's tongue, but the child was writhing and crying, and he couldn't see it at all. Du Wenhao had to take the pulse for him, but the baby's arm was not much bigger than an adult's thumb, and it was very short, Du Wenhao's three fingers were together, directly from the wrist to the elbow, and he couldn't find the pulse for a long time, the child twisted and waved his little hand again, Du Wenhao tossed his head sweaty, and he didn't get the child.

I didn't see a baby in my uncle's pharmacy before, but now I realize that it is a pain to treat an infant and a young child. Since ancient times, pediatrics has been called "dumb department", because it is difficult to see children's pulse, it is difficult to distinguish the syndrome by pulse diagnosis, and it is sad and laughing, perverted and impermanent, and it is also difficult to understand the condition by looking at the diagnosis. The child is not trustworthy when he speaks, and the viscera is weak, and the slightest improper medication will cause trouble. Therefore, many doctors are reluctant to treat children.

At a loss, someone pushed the door in at the door, and said happily: "Gotcha!" Here comes the prescription! โ€

The person who came was the Song shopkeeper of this Hengxiang Inn.

Xue Fei'er said: "Dad! What prescription have you found? โ€

Shopkeeper Song shook a small piece of yellow paper in his hand: "That's it, stick it on the side of the road, and the child will be fine soon!" โ€

"What? Show me! โ€

Xue Fei'er took it, only to see that the front of the yellow paper reads:

Emperor Emperor,

Rehmannia yellow,

I have a crying night man in my house,

The gentleman passing by reads it again,

Sleep until dawn!

Turning over the back, it was a charm painted with cinnabar. Xue Fei'er grinned and said, "Dad, what is this?" โ€

"It's the sleep talisman I asked for for the little young master from the City God Temple!"

"Does it work?"

"Of course it works, Daoist Zhang of the City God Temple is very high! I heard that many children use this method, and they immediately stop crying at night! โ€

Liu said happily: "Ouch, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Song, you really have a heart." Take it and stick it on the street! โ€

The maid on the side hurriedly agreed, came over to take the charm and went out to post it.

Shopkeeper Song was a little proud to stroke Fa Fu's big belly, and He Lele said: "The county lieutenant can collapse my inn, that gives me a lot of face, so naturally I have to think of the law to serve." After learning that the little master was always crying at night, the contemptible people thought of this method, which was very effective, so they went to ask for it. โ€

Xue Fei'er asked Du Wenhao in a low voice: "Hey, do you think this method works?" โ€

"Hehe, if this works, what are we doctors going to do?"

Shopkeeper Song said happily: "Mr. Du, you can't say that, the doctor is the doctor, the Tao is the way, the doctor heals the body, the Tao rules the soul, the child doesn't know where to go to the soul, so you have to paste the soul charm to summon the soul, or if you encounter something unclean, you have to use everyone's mouth to help get rid of the evil spirit, these are not what doctors can cure." โ€

"Really? If it's just a night cry, the doctor can also treat it, but it's just ......, hehe, I'm not very good at seeing children's diseases, and I don't dare to take medicine indiscriminately. Wellโ€”โ€”, during the day, I see that the doctor does not charge money to the child to see the stagnation disease, the pulse is accurate, the observation is detailed, the method is unique, and the syndrome differentiation is accurate and in place, which is admirable. This miracle doctor is really unique in diagnosing and treating infants and young children's diseases, so why not ask him to diagnose and treat them? โ€

Liu said: "This child's night cry is not a big problem, don't bother the divine doctor, since the shopkeeper Song asked for a sleeping charm from the City God Temple, try it first, maybe it's good." Okay, let's do it first, you take care of Yu'er and the old lady, and Qin'er and I will go to Wuweitang to discuss the matter of merging shares. โ€

Xue Fei'er said strangely: "What kind of shares? โ€

Liu smiled and said what happened, Xue Fei'er suddenly understood, looked at Pang Yuqin in a strange way, and grinned at Du Wenhao: "So that's the case, Du Langzhong, Sister Yuqin studied medicine with you, you can be taught seriously, and when the time comes, the red sleeves will add fragrance, don't be a ape!" Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Dead Niko! Looking for a fight! Pang Yuqin chased after Xue Fei'er, and Xue Fei'er giggled and hid around Liu's.

Liu smiled: "Okay, okay!" Don't make a fuss, your aunt is still sick in bed! Hurry up and discuss it, come back early, let's go! โ€

Pang Yuqin stopped at this time, glared at Xue Fei'er fiercely, and followed Liu and Du Wenhao out of the door.

"I'll go too! Wait for me! Xue Fei'er also chased out.
