Chapter 15: Zhang Bang seeks medical treatment
"The medicine and food are normal, and there is no abnormality in the pulse, which is strange, but Miss's symptoms are all kinds of abnormalities, is it?" Imperial Doctor Zhang muttered to himself while thinking about it, and when he said the last few words, he suddenly realized something, and immediately stopped, swallowing the word "poisoning" in his mouth.
This sentence also caused Pang Shangshu to be shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Imperial Doctor Zhang did not answer, poisoning was just a guess in his heart, there was no evidence, how dare he say anything, besides, poisoning is not a trivial matter, who would harm a dignified scholar's daughter. Imperial Doctor Zhang just lowered his head and stretched out a rolled cloth bag in the medicine box, revealing a row of silver needles, Imperial Doctor Zhang pointed to the silver needles and looked at Pang Shangshu and said, "Lord Shangshu, I have to take the liberty of giving it a try." ”
Although Pang Shangshu didn't know what he was going to do, Imperial Doctor Zhang was the chief imperial doctor in the palace, and he had been a doctor for many years and had a lot of prestige, and Pang Shangshu naturally trusted him very much, "It's okay, just do what the imperial doctor wants to do, as long as he can save my daughter, this official is willing to do anything." ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang looked at the row of silver needles, then pinched a slender silver needle with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, and ordered Yahuan to lift Pang Ruyan's right hand, and ordered someone to bring a small bowl to follow below. Then he picked up the silver needle and carefully stabbed it at the middle finger of Pang Ruyan, and stabbed it down, Pang Ruyan's fingertips instantly oozed bright red blood beads, and the maid next to him lifted the bowl close to Pang Ruyan's fingers, letting the blood beads drip into the bowl.
And this sudden stinging pain did not wake up the person on the bed, and the sleeping Pang Ruyan just frowned and gritted her teeth when the needle pricked down, and her fingers flicked slightly, but she didn't open her eyes, this scene also made Imperial Doctor Zhang even more puzzled.
Then he pinched Pang Ruyan's bleeding middle finger and squeezed it twice, and more blood beads oozed out of his fingers, and after they were all in the bowl, he asked the maid to wipe Pang Ruyan's fingers and put her hand on the side of the bed.
The whole action was done in one go, and Imperial Doctor Zhang took out a silver needle specially designed to test poison and inserted it into the blood droplet, and after a while, the surface did not change color, and the surface was not abnormal. "It seems that I guessed wrong," Imperial Doctor Zhang looked at the blood beads in the bowl, and then looked at Pang Shangshu and said, "Miss is neither poisoned nor has other symptoms, it's really strange." The old man has been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and he has seen thousands of medical records, but he has never encountered such a strange disease as Miss. ”
After looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, several imperial doctors were still helpless, and it was even difficult to judge the cause and origin of this strange disease, and they only sighed that their art was not perfect. "I'm sorry, Lord Shangshu, our medical skills are not good, and we can't diagnose Ling Qianjin. ”
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, why do you even say this, what about my daughter?" Even the imperial doctor couldn't help it, Pang Shangshu was even more panicked in his heart, his eyes glanced at his daughter who was still lying in a coma on the bed, and his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Imperial Doctor Zhang said, "Don't panic, my lord, Miss is just asleep now, her appetite has increased, and she has not yet shown other symptoms." Xia Guan can first prescribe some refreshing prescriptions for the young lady, hoping to temporarily suppress the condition and buy time for the young lady. My lord, why don't you post notices all over the city, asking the world's famous doctors to treat the young lady. If we are not skilled in medicine, there may be someone who can treat this disease for the young lady. ”
"Yes, yes, Zhang Bang seeking medical treatment is a way, there are different medical skills in the world, and there are many famous doctors in other places, and they will definitely be able to cure Miss." Several other imperial doctors also nodded in agreement, with their current medical skills, they could not diagnose the disease at all, and only by asking Lord Shangshu to seek medical treatment could it bring hope for treatment to the young lady.
"Thank you so much. Pang Shangshu thanked him again and again, and instructed the housekeeper to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Imperial Doctor Zhang to write prescriptions, and then sent people to search for famous doctors everywhere to diagnose and treat his daughter.
It is said that since Imperial Doctor Zhang prescribed a refreshing prescription, after Pang Ruyan took the medicine, her drowsiness and drowsiness have improved, but the symptoms have become more and more weird, and she has eaten more and more meals, which has not eased up.
The next morning, after Pang Ruyan woke up and got up, the maid Zhu'er was waiting for the young lady to change her clothes and freshen up, and after lowering her head and dressing the young lady, she wanted to wash her face with a towel, but she just raised her head but suddenly opened her mouth wide and screamed, and the washbasin in her hand also fell to the ground, and a large water stain was splashed on the ground.
"Zhu'er, what are you screaming?" Pang Ruyan didn't know what was going on, and thought that Zhu'er was frightened, but seeing that Zhu'er had been staring at her face, she looked panicked, and she suddenly became nervous, touched her face with her right hand, put on her shoes and rushed to the dresser.
In the bronze mirror, a face without powder was reflected, Pang Ruyan was also shocked, her hair was a little messy, but what surprised her the most was that her originally small and delicate face became puffy, and it was a little red and swollen, like a stuffed bun, flat and bulging, her eyes were also puffy, and her whole face was fat. Where is she still here? Where is she still beautiful? Not only her face, but also her belly and legs, seem to be thick and round.
Pang Ruyan was so angry that the appearance reflected in the mirror was like a clown, which shattered her self-confidence, and she overturned the mirror to the ground with a wave of her hands, and fell on the dresser and cried. Zhu'er watched the young lady's actions nervously on the side, very worried, and comforted the young lady while calling someone to call the master. "Miss, don't cry, I've already called someone to invite the master, let's find a famous doctor to treat it, and it will definitely be cured." ”
"Miss, don't be sad, as soon as you are sad, Zhu'er wants to cry too. Miss, don't be like this, the slave looks so scared. Pearls stood beside Miss, caressing Miss's shoulders with both hands, trying to pass on some strength to her.
When the next person knocked on the door and called for the report, Pang Shangshu had already freshened up and was about to order someone to serve breakfast so that he could eat with the children, when he heard the shouts of the next person, he raised his feet and rushed to the courtyard where his daughter lived. In the past few days, Ru Yan's condition has been repeated, strange and abnormal, Pang Shangshu's heart is simply in his throat, ready to check on his daughter's situation at any time.
When Pang Shangshu rushed to his daughter's room, Ru Yan was sitting in front of the dresser and staring at the window without saying a word, looking at the back from a distance and being a little lonely. Seeing that the master was coming, he hurriedly came up to report the situation of the young lady.
When Fang Cai reported it, he just said that the eldest lady had an accident and asked him to go, but he didn't explain what the situation was, and when he heard Zhu'er's words, Pang Shangshu was a little stunned, and walked forward a few steps forward to look at his daughter's face, but he stumbled and accidentally fell back, but fortunately, Zhu'er behind him helped him.
Pang Shangshu hooked his left hand and beckoned the little maid, shouting, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Zhang immediately, and then ask the housekeeper to post a notice throughout the city, and seek medical treatment for the eldest lady Zhang Bang, if anyone can cure the eldest lady, offer five hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift." Besides, you guys will go to the city and get me all the good doctors, and if the city doesn't work, go and find me outside the city. Whoever is looking for a doctor who can cure the eldest lady will be rewarded. ”
"Yes, yes. A few people rode to the palace to ask for imperial doctor Zhang, some people went around the city to look for doctors, and another group of people posted notices everywhere in the place where the crowd gathered. Just after the early morning, before it was breakfast time, the entire Pang Mansion was already panicked and busy.
At this time, Liu Shuyue was staying at home and concentrating on embroidery. After a few days of hard work, this embroidery has a preliminary appearance, from the raffia embroidery techniques and patterns can be seen, Liu Shuyue to embroider is the phoenix wearing a peony wedding dress, this red wedding dress also gave Liu Shuyue full of blessings: the delicate peony embroidery can be embroidered and the red embroidery clothes complement each other, meaning that the flowers are rich and rich, and the flower branches with silk rings imply tying the knot. Liu Shuyue had even imagined in her heart that Pang Ruyan was wearing a phoenix crown, a wedding dress, and a red cover on her head, full of charm, full of joy and waiting for her favorite person to marry.
The maid Xiaoju was called by Liu Shuyue to buy some golden silk threads and colored silk threads on the street, and some embroidery patterns to facilitate Liu Shuyue's embroidery. After Xiao Ju bought it according to the young lady's instructions, she walked happily on the street with a basket, and suddenly saw a bunch of people around the corner pointing and pointing, as if discussing something.
Xiaoju has always loved to watch the excitement, so naturally she couldn't miss it, so she picked up the basket and squeezed towards the center of the crowd. When I squeezed to the front, I found that people were surrounding a notice on the wall, which was not stamped with an official seal, and it seemed that it was posted by a government, not an official notice. Xiao Ju's eyes widened, and she only saw a few words "seeking medical treatment with a lot of money" cursoryly. Xiao Ju, as a maidservant, was sold into the house since she was a child, and never had the opportunity to study, but she barely knew some words after following the young lady, and the words on the list were naturally incomplete.
Xiao Ju was very curious about the above content, pointed to the list and asked a man beside him, "Big brother, what is written on this?"
The man pointed to the list and read, "Seek medical treatment with a lot of money, the daughter of Pang Mansion is unfortunately ill, and her condition is urgent, and now she has hired a famous doctor in the world, if there is a person who can be cured, she will be honored as a guest of Pang Mansion, and five hundred taels of silver will be offered to show her gratitude, Pang Shangshufu." ”
As soon as she heard that it was the Pang Mansion that had an accident, Xiao Ju couldn't help but ask nervously, "Which young lady from the Pang Mansion is sick?"
"I don't know, it's not written. The man shook his head, he was just a spectator and didn't know what was going on.
"I heard that it's Miss Pang, it seems that she fell into the water a few days ago, and now she is getting sicker and is seeking medical treatment everywhere. The crowd didn't know who answered the sentence, which caused a lot of discussion among the people present, and they didn't know what kind of disease Miss Pang was suffering from, so serious, and she had to seek medical treatment.
