Miss Gao was groggy, but she could still hear them talking, and slowly shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to eat.

Lu Jinping said: "Miss, you must eat gruel, if you don't eat it, I dare to conclude that you will die in less than half a month!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the house were taken aback, no one in Lang Zhong dared to predict like this, it was a big deal to coax the young lady to take medicine and eat, and the illness would be cured, no one had ever dared to say the word death bluntly, let alone say that she would die within half a month, so when this was said, the people in the house were stunned.

Miss Gao's thin and delicate body lying on the bed also trembled, and slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of horror, and she looked at Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping looked at her and said, "To tell you the truth, my medical skills have reached the point where I can tell you life and death!" Judging from your illness, you have to eat well, I still have a way to cure you, if you still refuse to eat as before, you will definitely die within half a month! - This is definitely not intimidation! ”

The fear in Miss Gao's eyes intensified.

Her personal maid peeked at Lu Jinping and whispered, "Sir, our young lady vomits as soon as she eats." ”

"It's okay to vomit, eat again! - You feed her, see if she eats, if she wants to eat, I will leave. Half a month later, I came to her funeral! ”

The three wives and concubines of the old lady Gao next to her were all panicked, and the youngest third aunt, who was Miss Gao's mother, couldn't help it, stepped forward and gently pulled the sleeve of the old lady Gao, and muttered: "Look at him!" Why do you say that about our daughter? ”

Old lady Gao nodded, patted the third aunt's hand lightly, and coughed fiercely. Stared at Lu Jinping, and wanted to speak, but stopped again, because the maid heard this, took the millet ginseng porridge and scooped it to her daughter's mouth with a spoon, but she didn't expect her daughter to open her mouth and eat it.

At this moment, the people in the house were taken aback again, especially the old lady Gao and the third aunt, seeing that their daughter did not eat, they were very anxious, but they didn't expect this young Langzhong to let her eat a few words, although the method used made them quite unhappy, but he also knew in his heart that this young Langzhong was telling the truth, if his daughter really didn't eat like this, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to live for half a month. Everyone understands this truth, but no one dares to say it, but it is this truth that others dare not say. I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Soon, Miss Gao ate all the bowls of gruel, wheezing, and seemed to be a little sick to her stomach, frowning and looking pained.

Seeing that her daughter ate this bowl of ginseng gruel, Mrs. Gao and the others were all happy.

Lu Jinping said: "Old lady, I'm done, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Old lady Gao was a little surprised, because the previous Lang Zhong was the first one who repeatedly considered, asked repeatedly, and checked the pulse repeatedly, like him, who only let the patient eat a bowl of porridge and then ended the medical treatment. Patients or family members always hope that Lang Zhong can give the patient more time to see and see more accurately, like him seems to be a little perfunctory, which makes the old lady Gao very unhappy, and his face has darkened. But he still endured it, and listened to what this Lang Zhong was going to say first. If it is not satisfactory, his temper tantrum will attack on the spot, so that he can look good.

Mrs. Gao had a gloomy face and walked out of her daughter's boudoir with her hands behind her back.

Lu Jinping followed him out and went to the study. Old lady Gao sat down on the couch, and did not beckon Lu Jinping to sit down, and said with a gloomy face: "What do you have to say, what is my daughter's illness?" Can you cure it? ”

Ye Qingqing had been following Lu Jinping's side, and when she saw the old lady Gao like that, she was immediately alert. She also heard that the retired Beijing official Gao Old Lady, who posted a notice to recruit a son-in-law for her daughter to treat her daughter's illness, was very short-tempered, and the doctor and Taoist priest who came to treat his daughter were basically scolded by him, and some were even directly sent to the yamen for punishment. However, if he dared to be rude to the lord, he would not be polite. Ye Qingqing's little fists were already clenched tightly, staring at Old Lady Gao.

Lu Jinping looked casual, and glanced at the old lady Gao: "I probably know what your daughter's illness is." However, I still need a little more time to get a diagnosis. And to diagnose your daughter's disease, you need to take one of your daughter's things back for testing. When the test results come out, you will know whether your daughter is the disease I suspected, and you can prescribe the right medicine. ”

"Inspection?" Old Lady Gao frowned, "I haven't heard that you still need to be tested to see a doctor." ”

"I see a doctor differently from others, if it's the same, I'm afraid that the result will be the same as those Langzhong, and I won't be able to cure your daughter's illness."

Old lady Gao thought about it, so she nodded and asked, "What do you want the little girl to test?" ”

"Vomit!"

"Vomit? My daughter didn't vomit. ”

"Soon she'll vomit."

"Oh? Is it? ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Miss Gao's personal maid pushed the door in and said anxiously: "Master, Miss vomited all the food just now." The old lady asked me to tell you and Lang Zhong to hurry up and have a look. ”

Sure enough, he was said by this young man, and the old lady Gao was surprised and delighted. Immediately, his confidence in Lu Jinping's medical skills increased greatly.

In fact, this is not unusual, Lu Jinping forced Miss Gao to eat such a big bowl of millet ginseng porridge, the purpose of which was to make her sick to her stomach. This is because if you don't eat for a long time and have difficulty eating because of your lack of appetite, if you suddenly eat so much at once, you will definitely have gastrointestinal discomfort and vomiting.

Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing and followed Mrs. Gao to Miss Gao's boudoir.

When she entered the house, she saw Miss Gao lying on the boudoir bed, and the maid was wiping the stains on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. A copper plate with a small half basin of water next to the bed was now cloudy, and there was some vomit on the edge of the copper basin.

Lu Jinping turned to the old lady Gao and said, "Please ask someone to bring me a small cup with a lid, and then take a pair of chopsticks, they will be cleaned." ”

Old lady Gao naturally didn't know what he wanted these things for, so he immediately ordered the servants to get them. Lu Jinping took it and looked at it, confirmed that it was indeed clean, and then used chopsticks to pick up a small amount of dirt on the side of the copper basin, put it in a small cup, and handed it to Ye Qingqing for her to keep it.

Lu Jinping said to the old lady Gao again: "The old lady, please talk outside." ”

Old Lady Gao then followed him to the door again, and Lu Jinping whispered to Old Lady Gao: "I want to take these things back for inspection now, and before I come back, don't give Ling Yan anything to eat, including drinking water." ”

Old lady Gao didn't understand: "Why? ”

"This is my need for healing, and if you believe me, listen to me."

"Good! I believe you. "Old lady Gao can only make this choice now, even the doctor can't cure the disease, this young man wants to be cured, of course, the method can't be the same as others, otherwise the result will be the same. So listening to Lu Jinping's request, it made Old Lady Gao increase his confidence in his medical skills.

Lu Jinping said: "The inspection will take about an hour, and I will come back in an hour." ”

"Okay!"

"I need 30 dollars for medicine. Please give me the medicine first. ”

Old lady Gao frowned: "Can't you prescribe a prescription, I'll send someone to grab the medicine?" ”

"No, it's confidential. I had to go and grab the medicine myself. ――Old lady Gao won't suspect that I cheated you of thirty dollars, right? ”

Old lady Gao smiled: "There are a lot of liars, I'm really a little worried." However, thirty is really not much, if you really want to cheat, you won't just cheat so much money. I believe in you! After that, he asked the official family to take thirty copper coins and give them to Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping carried three strings of copper coins and said, "I'll be back in an hour." ”

Old lady Gao said: "Okay, then there is Lao Gongzi, I will send you out." ”

This old lady Gao is a Beijing official with a high official character, and the shelf has always been very large. Lang Zhong, who used to come to her daughter to treat her illness, and the Taoist priest who did things almost all blasted him out, let alone expect him to send it to the door. And this time, it was really rare to send this young Mr. Lang Zhong all the way out of the gate.
