Old Madam Lu walked over with Lu Zheng, and said without a smile on her face: "Which of you will treat my grandson?" โ€

"I'll do it." Ye Qing spoke.

"Zheng'er, let's go over." Miao Lengshan called to her son, but Lu Zheng didn't move, but instead shrank his head behind Old Madam Lu's legs.

Ye Qing glanced at Lu Zheng, and seeing that the kid looked good, he beckoned to him and said, "Little boy, come here, I'll show you." โ€

"Let's go over." Old Madam Lu opened her mouth and led Lu Zheng to Ye Qing.

Lu Zheng was a little reluctant, he had seen too many doctors over the years, which made him have a sense of rejection of doctors.

"Open your mouth." Ye Qing lowered his voice and said to Lu Zheng.

When Lu Zheng opened his mouth, Ye Qing observed it carefully and said, "This child's tongue tie is too short, so that the child's tongue can't be rolled up at all."

Didn't you notice this anomaly when he was a kid? โ€

Miao Lengshan was stunned, obviously unaware.

Or rather, she doesn't understand that if her tongue can't be rolled, it will affect her speech.

In fact, it can also be said that most doctors in ancient times did not understand this disease, which was caused by the tongue-tie being too short.

Of course, there must be people who understand, but it is estimated that it is because there is no way to operate, so they think that this disease cannot be cured.

In the eyes of the ancients, if the tongue was broken or cut, it would either become dumb or commit suicide, so no one dared to think about it.

Old Madam Lu was stunned, she remembered that it seemed that someone had indeed told her about this at the beginning, but she turned a blind eye at that time.

I always feel that as long as the child is older, the tongue will be flexible, not to mention that Lu Zheng can eat and drink, and she didn't find anything wrong, so she didn't take it too seriously.

"You mean to say that his tongue is too short to interfere with his speech?" Miao Lengshan asked.

"It's not that the tongue is too short, it's that the frenulum under the tongue is too short, you see, this one.

Because it is too short, his tongue cannot be curled as casually as ours, and his speech is inflexible, and his pronunciation is blurred.

In fact, he should have been able to speak a long time ago, but unfortunately it was delayed for too long. Fortunately, there is still salvation now, and if it is later, it will be difficult to say! โ€

Mrs. Lu regretted it after hearing this, she knew that when Lu Zheng was two years old, she would have to pay attention to it.

Even if the doctors in Jianzhou can't do it, aren't there so many imperial doctors? Spending a little more money will always find someone to treat him.

"Then Doctor Ye, can you cure my son?" Miao Lengshan is most concerned about this.

"yes, do you have a solution?" Mrs. Lu also asked.

Qian Junbao also looked at Ye Qing, he somewhat understood what Ye Qing just said, but this is the tongue, so what kind of frenulum is too short, is there a way to lengthen it?

He whispered his questions to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing smiled and whispered to him: "Tongue tie, commonly known as tongue tendon." This disease does not need to be lengthened, just have a surgery to fix it. โ€

Qian Junbao nodded, "You mean you have a way?" โ€

"There is a way, but it's troublesome, it's the tongue after all." Ye Qing did not lower his voice and said this sentence.

Miao Lengshan heard that there was hope, and hurriedly said, "Doctor Ye, if you can really cure it, no matter how troublesome it is, we can wait."

Just say what you need, we've got you covered. โ€

"I heard your family is a shipbuilder?" Ye Qing asked suddenly.

"yes, yes." Miao Lengshan nodded, and then looked at Ye Qing suspiciously, does this shipbuilding have anything to do with her son's illness?

Ye Qing lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "If you want me to cure your son, I don't need silver, just give me five big boats, each boat can transport 50,000 catties of things."

In addition, help me buy a pier, and I'll pay for the pier, huh...... And prepare 10,000 live pearl mussels for me, which I also pay for.

I'll give you a month, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival! I'll come and treat him at that time. โ€

When Mrs. Lu heard Ye Qing's condition, she quickly said, "A month? If we agree to your conditions now, can we start treating them tomorrow? โ€

It's just five big boats, the Lu family is the largest ship merchant in Xia City, there are 27 sea boats in their own family alone, hundreds of big river boats, and a lot of sea boats are sold every year.

In fact, a ship with 50,000 catties of cargo can only be regarded as an ordinary ship, and the cost is less than 1,000 taels of silver, and it takes five boats to cure his grandson, which is too cost-effective.

If Ye Qing knew her thoughts, she would definitely regret that she had made a low price, she thought that it would take a lot of effort and money to build a big wooden boat like that.

In fact, in ancient times, there were large wooden ships that could carry 100 tons of goods, which was partly due to the outstanding craftsmanship of ancient carpenters, and partly because there were many high-quality large timbers for hundreds of years in ancient times.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty, the traditional handicraft skills of shipbuilding can build a 100-ton ship, and each piece of wood used for tenon jointing is dissected by craftsmen on the original logs with traditional shipbuilding tools such as digging axes, chisels, ink fountains, hand wood drills, and auxiliary materials such as saws and hammers.

In particular, the wooden boats made by craftsmen have a long pointed head, a deep draft, and a wide range of uses.

"I'm sorry, I can't start treating him tomorrow, I haven't brought anything with me, and I have to go back to prepare some special potions, it will take a month.

Since you have agreed to this condition, you should either go and prepare first, and let us know when you are ready. In that case, I can also come to treat the little boy in your house a few days in advance. โ€

"That's right, that's okay." Miao Lengshan said a little disappointed, but there is hope after all, six years have passed, and I don't care about this month.

She had no objection to Ye Qing's conditions, after all, what Ye Qing wanted was not excessive.

She wants to buy a boat to buy a dock and pearl mussels, probably because she is interested in this area and wants to do pearl trading?

But that's someone else's business, and she doesn't need to ask.

"Then we'll take our leave." Ye Qing got up and said.

Old Madam Lu saw that Ye Qing refused to treat her grandson immediately, so she didn't keep them.

"Doctor Ye, Doctor Qian. You've eaten here tonight before you go, and we'll have you sent back then." Miao Lengshan said.

"No need, we're going back to Jianzhou." Ye Qing shook his head and said.

Miao Lengshan saw that Ye Qing insisted, and she was not reluctant, and said with a smile: "Then I'll send you, please." โ€

Ye Qing and Qian Junbao walked out of the Lu Mansion, Miao Lengshan thought for a while and said, "You want to go to Jianzhou, take our ship."

It only takes an hour to take a boat to Jianzhou here, and the city gate on the Jianzhou side is closed relatively late, and it is still too late. โ€

"Thank you very much." Ye Qingdao.

When he arrived at the deep-water dock and looked at the huge wooden boat in front of him, Ye Qing was stunned.

Before, he took an ordinary wooden boat from Egret Island to Xia Cheng, and after this time he got on the Lu family's big ship, Ye Qing knew that he was lonely before.
