Li Man'er only said: "Whether it can be cured depends on Madam's physical condition first. If you'd like me, Doctor Xu, please lend me your pulse pillow."
Doctor Xu quickly took off the medicine box from his body and put it on the table, took out the pulse pillow and handed it to Li Man'er.
Li Man'er put the pulse pillow beside the bed, sat down again and checked Bai Ruolan's pulse.
Everyone in the room was quietly waiting for the results, especially Dr. Xu. He wanted to see what Miss Li could diagnose.
Li Man'er carefully diagnosed Bai Ruolan's pulse. After a long while, she stopped and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Judging from Madam's pulse, there is no doubt that she has a strange pulse."
Doctor Xu also nodded, "Yes, the pulse weakens or even disappears when you inhale."
"For coughing up phlegm, chest tightness, and lung qi stagnation, you should use medicines that strengthen the body, strengthen the lungs, and strengthen the spleen. The rejuvenating prescription for lung tuberculosis prescribed by Dr. Xu is also symptomatic."
Doctor Xu had a proud look on his face, and his beard was about to reach the sky. Li Maner's words justified his name. He was not a quack.
"Although the prescription is correct, the potion is too conservative." Li Man'er said: "Shopkeeper Li, I will prescribe a recipe, but do you dare to use it?"
Shopkeeper Li immediately said: "Girl, you saved Zhuo Jing's life. How can Mr. Li disbelieve you?"
"Okay." Li Man'er asked him to prepare a pen and ink. "If you believe me, just follow the prescription I wrote. If someone tells you that the medicine is wrong, don't ignore it."
Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment and immediately sent a boy to the front shop to get pen and paper.
The little boy was quick on his feet and soon took out the pen and ink and put it on the table.
Li Maner sat at the table and wrote down the prescription, dried the ink and handed it to shopkeeper Li.
"Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take it every day before breakfast and after dinner. You should avoid food while taking the medicine. It is written on it."
Doctor Xu said anxiously at the side: "Miss, can you let me have a look?" Although the prescription is in the hands of shopkeeper Li, Miss Li is the one who prescribes the prescription after all, so he should of course obtain Miss Li's consent.
Li Man'er nodded, "Please correct me, Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu cupped his hands and took the prescription and looked at it carefully, "Ephedra, cinnamon twig, almond, dried ginger, schisandra, pinellia..."
Doctor Xu had a look of astonishment on his face, and the hand holding the prescription trembled slightly, "Is this Xiao Qinglong Tang or Ephedra Tang?"
"neither."
"This is nonsense." Doctor Xu returned the prescription to Shopkeeper Li and said, "I can't understand this prescription. Since Shopkeeper Li is willing to give it a try, I'll just wait for the good news." After saying that, he put the medicine pillow away.
Go back to the medicine box, pick up the medicine box and leave.
Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to neglect him, and quickly asked the boy to get the money and chase him out.
Who knew that Dr. Xu was very insightful and wanted nothing more than to say, "No reward for no merit, so forget it. If your wife can really recover, that would be better than anything else."
The young boy came back and imitated Dr. Xu's words, which made Li Man'er look at him highly.
Shopkeeper Li looked at the prescription in his hand, then at Li Man'er, and finally at Bai Ruolan.
The woman nodded slightly at him.
Shopkeeper Li then sent someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.
In any case, this family made a pretty good impression on Li Man'er.
Li Man'er took out the pills that saved Bai's life again. Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up when he saw it.
It was this pill that saved his wife's life before.
"This medicine is very precious. I made it myself. My wife is seriously ill. If I only take the medicine in the prescription, I am afraid it will last for more than half a year. She will suffer from repeated illnesses and may develop other problems.
." Li Man'er took nine pills to him, "Including the pill that my wife took before, there are ten pills in total. Just take one pill every seven days. Don't remember the date wrongly."
"Hey, I've written it all down, I can't go wrong." Shopkeeper Li took the pills as if they were treasures, "Girl, how can I thank you? I wonder how much the girl's consultation fee and medicine cost? Li is not stingy, just
I’m afraid I won’t be given enough.”
What he said was from the bottom of his heart. He had seen the magic of the previous medicine with his own eyes. One piece of this medicine would probably cost a lot of silver.
"Shopkeeper Li, you're welcome. I'm not short of money. Today is a lucky break. The medical fees and other expenses are waived."
Huh? No money?
Shopkeeper Li's old mother immediately stepped forward and said: "Girl, you can't help it. The consultation fees are of course justified. If you don't accept the money, we will feel really sorry! You don't think we are a small business, but we can still take the medicine."
Got up."
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly, and even Bai Ruolan asked Li Man'er to charge.
"Well, how about this!" Li Man'er said: "I'm not short of money. If you must pay me, just give me something else in exchange."
"Exchange for something else?" Shopkeeper Li looked at his old mother, "What does the girl want?" There was nothing else in his shop, but there were a lot of materials and clothes.
Li Maner was afraid that people would misunderstand that he was taking advantage of the situation, so he quickly said: "The teahouse next to me belongs to me, and the original shopkeeper and waiter are no longer here. So I want to ask shopkeeper Li, do you have any recommendations for a good shopkeeper? I'm a girl.
I don’t want to go out and do business in public, so it would be great if you could help recommend a shopkeeper who is well-behaved, well-connected and capable."
Is that all?
Shopkeeper Li quickly said: "Girl, I know a few shopkeepers first. If you need them, I can recommend them to you, but you still have to pay for the medicine."
Seeing his serious look, Li Man'er couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Why is this person so stubborn? He doesn’t know how to adapt.
"Well, I have a rule when treating people, which is to see the doctor first and collect the money later. If I cure your wife, I will naturally go to your door to collect the consultation fee. If your wife's condition does not improve, it means that I am not good at my studies.
, it’s appropriate not to charge a penny.”
this……
"Okay, it's settled." Li Man'er just said: "I don't know about recommending candidates for the shopkeeper. Does shopkeeper Li have any good candidates or suggestions?"
Only then did shopkeeper Li react and said: "I have a distant cousin who is loyal and quick-witted. He started working as a cabinet clerk at the age of seven, and was able to take charge of the cabinet on his own at the age of thirteen. He is a very upright person.
It's just that the death of his parents a few years ago was a big blow to him. He was depressed for a while, and now he is ready to come out and regain his strength. If the eldest girl is interested, why don't I write a letter and ask him to come to Beijing. You can talk about it after you meet him.
.”
Li Man'er thought it was good, but there were many considerations involved in recruiting people, so she couldn't speak too highly.
"We must meet him, but what his character and knowledge are, we have to meet him first. Shopkeeper Li can just write to him. I paid for all the expenses for his trip to Beijing. It would be best if he could stay. In addition, I respect you.
Regarding Madam's asthma, I will come back for follow-up consultation. If you have anything, you can also send a letter to the corner gate of the Hou Mansion."
Shopkeeper Li cupped her hands and said, "Thank you in advance, Miss Li."
