The car went out of Chaoyang Gate and headed east.

Before, the servant of the Nie family, whose name was Nie Le, had already told Deng Wenliang that his son-in-law lived in a separate residence outside the city, and he was too sick to move, so he would walk a little longer in vain for Dr. Deng's drive.

Deng Wenliang didn't care, it was common for the rich and noble to have another residence or garden outside the city. Also, this "son" may not be the son-in-law of the Nie family, the "main mother" is not the main wife, and it is possible that the mother and son will live separately.

The more he walked, the more desolate he became, although Deng Wenliang felt a little strange, he was not worried. He is not a rich man, and he never has a grudge against anyone, so he doesn't have to worry about thieves kidnapping tickets or enemies harming him. Moreover, even if the patient is a heinous rebel, there is no reason to harm the doctor.

arrived at the destination, got out of the car, straightened up, and looked up, but Deng Wenliang was stunned: this-

In front of me, it is a very ordinary farmhouse courtyard, which is not a "separate residence" or "garden" at all.

But now that he has arrived, of course he cannot fail to go in.

There are four or five people standing in the courtyard, Deng Wenliang has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, he is well-informed, and his vision is good.

He muttered to himself in his heart: The posture of these people is not like the servants of ordinary rich families, what is the origin of this surnamed Nie?

Nie Le opened the door curtain, Deng Wenliang crossed the threshold, entered the house, and a very handsome young man greeted him, arched his hand and said, "Doctor Deng, I've been looking up for a long time." ”

Nie Le next to him let his hand go. Said: "This is the same. ”

Yes?

This Master Nie is so young. But in his early twenties. No matter how early he was born, his son-in-law is probably still in the year of the general horn, right? I see pediatrics, but it's not my specialty.

Deng Wenliang returned the salute: "Master Nie is good." ”

After a pause, he hesitated slightly: "I didn't expect that Master Nie would be so prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, before, Gui Gang Ji ...... Uh, don't hide it from Master Nie. Pediatrics here is not what Deng is good at. ”

Master Nie said with a smile: "It's okay, the patient at home is close to the age of Zhixue, and he can be treated as an adult." ”

Yes?

The year of Zhixue is fifteen years old.

In this way, the sick man is not the son of Master Nie, maybe it is his...... Brothers? So what about ...... "housewife"?

Forget it, what's the matter with me? I'm a doctor, and I just see patients.

"Good. That...... Please lead the way. ”

"There's no rush. Oh yes. This is Dr. Deng's consultation fee—"

Speaking of this, Nie Le, who was next to him, took a step forward, and as if playing a trick, took out two gold ingots and gently placed them on the table next to him.

Master Nie smiled and said, "This is half - pay half first, and after the consultation, pay half more." ”

It was a gold ingot of fifty taels and one ingot, Deng Wenliang had practiced medicine for many years, and he had never received such a high amount of consultation fees - even if he saw a doctor for the prince, he did not.

What's more, this is only "half".

Two hundred taels of gold -- Deng Wenliang's breathing became slightly quick.

Deng Wenliang's brain has always been very flexible, and he is very sure: this family is by no means an ordinary rich family! I am afraid that these two hundred taels of gold are not simply "consultation fees" -- if nothing else, how can there be a reason for a doctor to visit a doctor and the patient to pay half of the consultation fee first?

This is too generous, right?

So, if the other party asks for it, will he do it himself?

Can you earn these two hundred taels of gold?

Deng Wenliang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice seemed to tremble slightly: "I'm just afraid...... Deng's learning is shallow, this, uh, has a negative ...... Trusted. ”

"Dr. Deng is too polite."

After a pause, Master Nie said slowly: "As long as Doctor Deng answers a question below, the two hundred taels of gold will be offered with both hands." ”

Answer...... Doubt?

What's the doubt?

What questions do you answer...... Worth two hundred taels of gold?

Do you know anything worth two hundred taels of gold?

That...... Do you still want to see a doctor?

Sure enough, these two hundred taels of gold are not just "diagnosis money".

Deng Wenliang turned all kinds of thoughts, and said as calmly as possible: "Please say - Deng knows everything." ”

"The patient in the family," said Master Nie, "is the same person in age and symptoms—the one who is in the 'Dongxing Building' today, and the royal court sentenced him to Dr. Deng." So, ask Dr. Deng, what kind of disease is the patient in the family? ”

Deng Wenliang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

What the...... Meaning?

How did he know that in Dongxing Building, Wang Shouzheng told me something?

Seeing his stammering appearance, Master Nie smiled and said: "It's such a coincidence, I was also meeting friends in Dongxing Building below, and when I went out to check out, I passed by the door of 'Fu Zihao', and I just heard the royal court judge talking about the symptoms of a certain patient - in the next listen, it is exactly the same as the patient at home!" This is really a coincidence, and it is not a deliberate eavesdropping on other people's corners, Dr. Deng, please forgive me. ”

What the?

It's true...... Is it such a coincidence?

The private room where Deng Wenliang and Wang Shouzheng ate is called "Fuzihao".

"However," said Master Nie, "because I had to hurry back to wait for Dr. Deng's drive, I hurried away, and then, I didn't hear Dr. Deng's great words, so I had to ask for advice." ”

If that's the case, just ask directly, why bother putting a hundred taels of gold out first?

No—why ask? Wouldn't it be better for the patient to undress and see him directly?

Wang Shouzheng's patient, the patient here, the appearance of the two patients, like or not, what does it matter?

Could it be, is it ...... Their patients, for some reason, are inconvenient to call a doctor for consultation?

Deng Wenliang quickly turned his thoughts: Is this the case - when Nie Le went to the city to invite himself, Master Nie didn't think of what kind of disease the patients at home had, and after "eavesdropping" Wang Shouzheng's words, he was shocked and decided that after the doctor arrived at the house, he would only "seek verification" and not "see a doctor"?

Although doctors have the obligation to keep secrets for patients, they are not afraid of 10,000, but only in case.

If the patient is not a man, but a woman, then it is even more important.

So, instead of taking himself to the house, he took it to the peasant house in the countryside - they didn't want the doctor to know where their house was.

If that's the case, they don't have to ...... is surnamed Nie.

Deng Wenliang's heart trembled slightly.

Not true-

If, as Master Nie said, "I hurried back to wait for Dr. Deng's drive, but I left in a hurry, and then, Dr. Deng's great arguments were not heard", how could he be "frightened and shocked"?

If you've heard yourself say something -- "What else do you need to say?" This is 'bayberry'! "Then why invite yourself over and ask yourself to say this again?

It can only be like this: at that time, through the door curtain, the distance was also far away, guests, guys, came and went, they didn't listen to it really, and it was not easy to listen to it anymore, so the word "bayberry" was in a trance, and I didn't dare to be very accurate.

However, there is still not quite a problem......

Deng Wenliang turned countless thoughts, and finally spoke: "Some patients seem to have symptoms, but in fact, they don't have the same disease. ”

Master Nie smiled slightly: "'Visiting' is one of the 'four diagnoses', the doctor sees the doctor, looks, smells, asks, and cuts, all of which are indispensable, and Dr. Deng is too reasonable!" However, in this case, how could Dr. Deng 'make a decision' about the patient sentenced by the royal court? ――I'm afraid I've never seen a doctor! ”

Deng Wenliang was speechless, his face flushed slightly, and after a long while, he muttered: "This...... Well, the royal court judged him to be a national hand, and he described the disease, and I saw it myself, uh, actually, there is no difference. ”

"If the royal court judged that it was really the 'national hand' that Dr. Deng said, why did he invite Dr. Deng to come together to refer to this case?"

Deng Wenliang was speechless again.

"Besides," said Master Nie, "it is also considered a rough medical path, of course, it is far from the word 'national hand', but the self-confidence will not be blind, and the symptoms of the patients at home are indeed exactly the same as the 'description' judged by the royal court-please ask Dr. Deng, what kind of disease is this?" ”

This passage is implicitly sarcastic, and the last sentence is the second time that the request has been made, and although the tone is relaxed, it exudes an unavoidable coercion.

Deng Wenliang's forehead was slightly sweating.

The yellow gold ingots shone with golden light on the table not far away.

The few elite "servants" in the courtyard also appeared in my mind.

He gritted his teeth: "This...... It's 'bayberry'. ”
