Chapter 35
When Qiu Wuhen heard what they were talking about, he turned around and nodded and said, "If it's convenient, arrange a room for me. I may have to stay here for a few days. Your master's illness cannot be cured in a day or two."
Qiu Wuhen had thought about it. In order to complete the task given by Yao Gulu and solve the case, it probably wouldn't be solved in a day or two. He had to find a place to stay. It would cost money to stay in an inn, but he didn't have any money. He lived in Xiahou
Although the home is not as good as the Grand View Garden, it is still pretty good. And I should be fine if I live and eat here for free. The free high-end inn is regarded as an all-inclusive trip.
Mrs. Xiahou was even more happy. Before, she was thinking that the master's illness could not be cured for a while. If there was any recurrence, the doctor lived far away and it was not easy to handle. She was hesitating how to keep him in the house. Now
The doctor proposed it himself, so he didn't have to think about how to retain people. Of course he was overjoyed.
There was a doctor living at home, so I felt at ease. If there was any problem, he could be treated at any time. So he hurriedly ordered the housekeeper: "Quickly, quickly clear out the study next to the master for Qiu Qiu and his apprentice to live in, and provide two more
Maid, you need to be quick with your hands and feet."
The housekeeper was also overjoyed, but a little strange. He thought that all scholars are very convoluted. They have to think for a long time before saying and doing things, and they have to lay ambush and pretend to be pretentious. Unexpectedly, this scholar was not polite at all, and he was straightforward about what he wanted.
I said it out loud. This was quite satisfying, and my favorable impression of Qiu Wuhen immediately skyrocketed. I felt comfortable dealing with such a person.
Qiu Wuhen walked to the bed and sat down on the stool. Xia Houtian was leaning on the head of the bed, his expression not very good, but much better than before when he had the same high fever as Guan Gong.
Qiu Wuhen said: "Mr. Xia, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"It's better. I felt more awake after taking your medicine yesterday, and I slept better last night. But my stomach still hurts, my whole body feels weak, and I'm sweating."
Qiu Wuhen nodded: "You are seriously ill. As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread, so I'm afraid it will take a few more days."
Xia Houtian said in a weak voice: "I understand, thank you very much!"
Qiu Wuhen checked his pulse and tongue, and then pressed lightly on his abdomen. He looked confident, but in fact he was completely confused and couldn't figure out what Xia Houtian's illness was.
If in modern times, modern testing methods could be used to do a blood test, X-ray or the like, the cause of his stomach pain would have been found out long ago. But now, Yao Gulu doesn't help him come to the conclusion of syndrome differentiation and treatment, so he relies on himself
His eyes went black.
Only now did he realize that in ancient society, a Western doctor who did not understand Chinese medicine was very helpless, let alone a forensic doctor in Western medicine, who was even more biased.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard Xia Houtian say painfully: "I will never drink again in the future."
"Excuse me, do you like drinking?" Qiu Wuhen asked casually.
"I'm addicted to alcohol. I drink every meal. The last time I had a stomachache, I was drunk. When I woke up, my stomach hurt even more. Qiu Langzhong, tell me, what's going on with my illness?"
"This, I'm not sure yet... maybe I drank a little too much."
"Oh, that's okay. You can wait until Mr. wakes up to see you again."
"??——I haven't drank yet! Your Majesty Madam just ordered a banquet to be prepared."
"Yes!" Mrs. Xiahou said repeatedly, "The banquet is ready."
Qiu Wuhen nodded, because the traditional Chinese medicine gourd in his mind has not been unlocked for syndrome differentiation and treatment, so he can only continue to control it with the last prescription.
He asked the housekeeper: "Does the house have its own pharmacy or an accountant who knows medicine?"
"You know a little bit about me, sir. What are your orders, sir?"
"Then please ask the housekeeper to copy the prescription for me. This apprentice of mine just came here and doesn't know how to do it. I'll read it for you to write it down, and then take the medicine according to the prescription."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, how could such an operation be carried out? This doctor's attitude was not ordinary, but it was all for the sake of the master. What else could he refuse? He quickly agreed and ordered the maid to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then sat down
He picked up his pen at the table and looked eagerly at Qiu Wuhen.
Of course he wouldn't know that Qiu Wuhen was really unable to use calligraphy.
Qiu Wuhen immediately read out the prescription according to the prescription displayed in his mind.
The housekeeper wrote it down carefully, blew on the wet ink on the paper and showed it to Qiu Wuhen, fearing that he had made a mistake somewhere.
Qiu Wuhen glanced at it, nodded and said: "Just follow this, let me use it first, take your time, take this medicine twice a day. As for how long to take it, and when to change the medicine, I will tell you when the time comes, anyway.
I have to come for a follow-up visit with the master every day."
The lady and the housekeeper agreed repeatedly and expressed their gratitude profusely.
Qiu Wuhen once again told Xiahou Tian to take good care of his body and relax his mind, and then said to the housekeeper: "Has my accommodation been arranged? I'll go and take a look."
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "It's arranged."
After saying that, he gave the prescription to the servant and quickly grabbed the medicine, then took Qiu Wuhen to the wing of the courtyard.
This is a suite. The suite is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a luxurious room inside, and two little maids live in the outside room. They look quite cute.
When the cow water tank saw the two little girls, he was a little at a loss. He and his father had never been treated like this before. He always killed the pigs and left. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he just carried the package on his back.
He was standing at the door, blushing and not knowing where to put his eyes.
This look made the two little maids giggle.
Qiu Wuhen asked the maids to bring an empty box, then put the package of bones in the box, locked it with a big lock, and ordered the two maids that no one was allowed to touch the box. The maids quickly agreed and kept saying
No one will come in.
At this time, the housekeeper came over again to report that breakfast was ready, and asked Qiu Wuhen and Niushuitan to come and have a meal.
Qiu Wuhen was very hungry, so of course he would not be polite. He followed the housekeeper to the dining hall with the cow water vat. Mrs. Xiahou was already waiting here, and Xiahoutian's two sons were smiling at the side.
Accompany.
Although it was just breakfast, it was still very well cooked. Qiu Wuhen had not had a decent breakfast for a long time, so he was so polite and ate a full meal in a hurry.
When he looked at the cow water tank, he realized that this guy was really powerful in fighting. He had eaten all the big plate of steamed buns in front of him like a storm, and also finished a large bowl of noodles. Now he was sweeping across the place.
A large box of pastries.
Qiu Wuhen sighed very much. Now he finally understood why Niu Shuitan's father had to give him fifty kilograms of rice for living expenses. This guy was so good at eating that he didn't care whether the fifty kilograms of rice was enough for him.
Hard to say.
After Qiu Wuhen finished eating, he said to the housekeeper, Mrs. Xiahou and her son: "I have to go out for something, Mr. Xiahou should be fine. I may come back later. If I don't come back, you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
The housekeeper quickly agreed and said, "No problem, we can prepare meals at any time when the young master comes back."
Mrs. Xiahou said: "Housekeeper, bring the things here."
The housekeeper quickly agreed, went out and took out a brocade box covered with a red silk, and handed it to Qiu Wuhen with both hands. Qiu Wuhen opened the red silk, and there were five ingots of silver inside, totaling ten taels.
Really tempting.
Qiu Wuhen was about to reach out and take it, but the Chinese medicine gourd popped up in his mind, and a line of words appeared:
Can't collect money!
Qiu Wuhen was stunned for a moment, and said to Yaohulu in his heart with a sad face: "Do you know how poor I am now? I am penniless! You told me not to take money. What should I do if I have to spend money later?"
Yao Gulu did not move, and the line of words still appeared, as if to remind him that Yao Gulu's decision could not be changed.
I'm convinced, you are the boss and you have the final say.
Qiu Wuhen looked aloof and regarded money as dirt, and said calmly: "I, Mr. Qiu, always see doctors for free and only charge for medicine. If you use these yellow and white things to stain my eyes next time, I...,
I’m not polite, I’ll charge you hundreds and thousands of times, hehe!”
