Mr. Guo Si quickly invited a woman in from outside, followed by two female medicine boys, one carrying a medicine box and the other carrying a small baggage.
"This is Dr. Ji Hanwei Ji, a very famous female doctor in Changsha Prefecture. She studied under the famous doctor Yuan Xin Ning Yuan in Huguang. She is young and promising. I specially invited her to treat my mother."
Mr. Guo didn't expect that his fourth brother would invite him back without even saying hello. It would have been fine before, but now Mrs. Tong is still inside treating her mother. It's really embarrassing to bump into her like this.
But he knew that the fourth brother was doing this for his mother's good, not to mention that when he sent someone to ask for a doctor, there was no news from Lady Tong!
Moreover, Yuan Xining is indeed a famous doctor, but now that he is old, he has retired to retire and no longer treats people.
Mr. Guo thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "I'm sorry to bother you, Doctor Ji, to come all the way. Why don't you go down and rest first..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Hanwei: "It's okay. I'm not tired. I'd better go see the patient first so as not to delay the condition."
"Doctor Ji, please wait a moment." Mr. Guo Si said directly, "Ms. Tong is still inside right now!"
"Ms. Tong?" Ji Hanwei's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this.
Although Lady Tong's fame is basically still in Yongzhou Prefecture, she has not reached the point where everyone in Huguang is well-known.
However, Ji Hanwei was from the apricot forest and studied under Yuan Xinning, who had disciples all over Huguang, so she was naturally much better informed than the others.
She had long heard about Lady Tong's reputation in Yongzhou Mansion. The reason why she readily accepted Mr. Guo Si's request to come to Yongzhou Mansion this time was mostly because she wanted to meet Lady Tong for a while.
But I never expected that such a coincidence would happen as soon as I arrived at Guo's house.
Mr. Guo Si thought that Ji Hanwei didn't know Mrs. Tong, so he repeated roughly what his elder brother said when he introduced her to him.
"Mrs. Tong is so powerful. It is a rare fate to have the opportunity to meet each other this time. Maybe we can discuss and learn from each other."
When Ji Hanwei was being received outside, Shen Tianshu was in the east cubicle asking about Mrs. Guo's situation in detail.
"I don't know what happened. I kept thinking about it later. I ate, drank, and slept just like usual in those few days, but suddenly I felt pain in my chest and diaphragm. I couldn't relieve myself for five or six days. I woke up with a mouthache every day.
Dry tongue.
"At first I thought it was just a change of season, and I was a little hot and angry, but I didn't take it seriously. Then my whole body started to swell, not only the face, hands and feet you can see, but even the breasts were swollen..."
As Mrs. Guo talked, she finally couldn't speak anymore.
As people get older, they will suspect that they are going to die if they feel even a little bit sick.
What's more, Mrs. Guo has been ill for a month now, and even after two doctors, she has not gotten better.
The unhappiness in my body only aggravated the irritability in my heart. I always felt that I was not going to die soon, and I had even secretly told my eldest son about my future affairs.
After hearing this, Mr. Guo naturally felt uncomfortable and worried that his mother really had a serious illness that was difficult to cure, so he called back his younger brothers who were busy with business in other places.
Shen Tianshu stepped forward and unbuttoned his clothes. After checking Mrs. Guo's condition, she felt relieved and said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry too much. This is phlegm syndrome, which is not serious. It's just that the doctor had misdiagnosed it before, so the condition was delayed.
"
"Really?" Old Madam Guo didn't expect that Shen Tianshu would actually speak with ease about the problem she had been worried about for a long time.
Shen Tianshu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, can I still lie to you? Compared with the time when you were ill a few years ago, it's not even one-tenth.
"I heard that your illness was so serious back then and you were still dealing with various business matters in bed every day. Now it's just a minor problem. Why are you so pessimistic?"
Of course she was talking about the time when Mrs. Guo almost died but was saved by Jiang Sui.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Guo immediately felt more at ease. She couldn't help but laugh, shook her head and laughed at herself: "It seems that this person is getting more and more afraid of death as he gets older!"
"Who is not afraid of death in this world?" Shen Tianshu said, "If everyone is not afraid of death, what else are we doctors going to do?"
Mrs. Guo felt much better after what she said, and said, "Why are you so good at talking? After listening to your words, I feel much lighter."
"Well then, I'll talk to you more later." Shen Tianshu stood up and said, "I'll go check out the prescriptions I used before, and then I'll prescribe a prescription for you. After you take one dose, you should be fine. It will be relieved, and I will come back for a follow-up visit tomorrow."
Shen Tianshu stood up as he spoke. As soon as he walked out of the east compartment, he was startled by several people blocking the door.
The four brothers, Mr. Guo, heard their mother's laughter faintly coming from outside. At this time, they all gathered around the door and waited in surprise.
This Lady Tong, aside from her medical skills, her ability to make the old lady laugh at this time is already quite remarkable.
You know, their sons, their wives, and their grandchildren all live in this house recently, and the whole family puts aside everything to stay with the old lady.
Everyone tried their best, but they couldn't make the old lady show off her face.
Not even half an hour after Mrs. Tong entered the house, she actually made the old lady laugh?
Shen Tianshu didn't know what they were thinking, so he asked Mr. Guo for the prescription prescribed by the doctor before and looked at it carefully.
The first doctor diagnosed it as floating fire and prescribed medicine with pollen, forsythia, polygonatum, Ophiopogon japonicus, and gardenia to clear away heat and nourish yin. Unfortunately, after taking it for more than ten days, no effect was seen.
The second doctor believed that the distension and pain in the chest and diaphragm were caused by liver qi, so he took agarwood, green bark, costus, white peony root, etc. to soothe the liver. He took the medicine for another seven or eight days, but still no improvement.
Sure enough, what Mr. Guo said just now is exactly the same. It seems that he is really concerned about Mrs. Guo's illness, and he even remembers these things clearly that he doesn't understand.
Shen Tianshu carefully read the prescription, laid out the paper and prepared to prescribe the medicine. He did not see that Ji Hanwei had been led into the east compartment by Mr. Guo Si to diagnose Mrs. Guo's pulse.
Mrs. Guo, who had been amused by Shen Tianshu just now, frowned at her younger son and said, "Madam Tong is here, what other doctor do you want to invite?"
"Mom, I..."
"Mrs. Guo, Mr. Guo Si is also very filial, and when he sent someone to invite me, Mrs. Tong didn't come to see you. It's just a coincidence that we bumped into each other today. If the old lady doesn't mind, I'm sure I have come all the way to see you, and I still hope that I can check your pulse, and maybe there will be a chance to discuss it with Mrs. Tong."
"Yes, mother, I sent someone to Changsha Mansion to invite Dr. Ji. How could I know when Mrs. Tong would come back at that time!" Mr. Guo Si also quickly explained.
Mrs. Guo also felt that her words just now were indeed a bit harsh and seemed to disrespect Ji Hanwei, so she stretched out her hand and said, "Then I'll bother you, Doctor Ji."
