"When I get back to the eldest son, the old lady has woken up and her complexion has improved a lot. She just drank half a bowl of bird's nest and is currently resting in bed."
Du Qilin nodded.
"You guys wait at the door and come in when I need you."
"yes."
When all the maids and servants heard this, they all left the house and stood outside the courtyard.
There was a maid guarding the inner room. When she saw the mistress and the eldest son entering the room, she silently knelt down and bowed.
Mrs. Du raised her hand to signal her to go out, walked lightly to the bed, and said softly.
"Mother."
Mrs. Du is the biological mother of Bachelor Du Heng. She is in her fifties this year. Before she got the disease, she had good hearing and vision and was in good health.
But now, due to illness, most of his black hair has turned white, and his face has clear folds and faint spots. He is listless, looks bad, and looks very haggard.
Du Qilin also stepped forward and walked to the bed.
"Grandma, your grandson is here to see you."
When she heard someone calling her, the old lady lying on the bed moved her eyelids slightly, then frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
These days, she didn't know why, but her vision was always blurry. Now, she vaguely saw the two people standing beside the bed, their brows stretched, they struggled to get up, and they showed an amiable smile.
"Qi'er, you're here."
Mrs. Du stepped forward, supported the old lady, and placed a tall pillow behind her back.
"Mother, Qi'er has found a miracle doctor for you, who may be able to cure your health."
Du Qilin took over his mother's words and nodded.
"Yes, grandma, maybe after today, grandma's health will get better."
Mrs. Du let her daughter-in-law help her sit up and sighed softly.
"Qi'er is interested. In the past ten days, I have returned to the capital from the academy and spent many days worrying about the illness of an old woman like me. Grandma understands Qi'er's filial piety."
"This capital city has invited doctors one after another. Even the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure me, so I'm leaving you to work hard for nothing."
After all this time, no doctor could help her get better. She no longer had any hope for her health. She just couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of her son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
"Grandma, don't be discouraged. I hope grandma's health will get better this time?"
After Du Qilin finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Jiuli, clasped his fists, and gave a deep salute.
"Miss Luo Er, you're busy."
Luo Jiuli nodded, said nothing, gathered his thoughts, and stepped forward with lowered eyes.
As for whether Mrs. Du knew her or not, she didn't think it was important.
The old lady leaned on the head of the bed and vaguely saw that the person who came forward was a pleasant-looking and young woman, and her mood suddenly plummeted.
For those symptoms that experienced doctors in the capital and imperial physicians in the palace have not detected, what can a young woman detect?
Although she was full of doubts in her heart, after all, it was her grandson who found her, and she could not refute her grandson's face.
Looking carefully, she felt that this woman looked familiar. She might have been suffering from severe illness recently, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this woman before.
While thinking about it, he stretched out his arms out of habit.
Luo Jiuli lowered his head and checked his pulse carefully. On the surface, he remained calm, but his fingers moved up and down slightly as the pulse beat.
Beside them, Mrs. Du, Du Qilin, and Luo Yuanjia looked nervous and did not dare to breathe.
After quite a while, Luo Jiuli was able to withdraw her hand. She already had doubts in her heart and looked up at Mrs. Du.
"The old lady has been ill for a while. Did each doctor give different specific symptoms?"
Mrs. Du was startled and nodded slightly hesitantly.
"Yes, whether it's a doctor outside the palace or an imperial physician inside the palace, everyone says something different, and even the medicine they prescribe is different."
Luo Jiuli understood.
"If my diagnosis is correct, the old lady will have symptoms of headache and fever at the beginning. After a few days, her eyesight will decrease again. After taking the medicine, her eyesight has improved, but it has moved to other parts of the body, such as abdominal pain, chest pain, etc.
Pain, coughing in the lungs, etc. can also cause lesions in the corresponding parts."
She was actually not unfamiliar with the old lady's illness. This very common case even appeared in the military medical training subjects in her previous life.
"What Miss Luo Er said is right."
Du Qilin's eyes were full of surprise, and his originally tense expression relaxed after Luo Jiuli finished speaking.
Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that Miss Luo Er was really capable of treating a dead horse as a living doctor.
Luo Jiuli stood up and looked at Du Qilin and his second brother.
"Second brother, Mr. Du, I need to do a physical examination on the old lady. Please stay away."
"well."
Du Qilin nodded repeatedly and dragged Luo Yuanjia out of the house.
In the room, Luo Jiuli asked Mrs. Du to lie flat on the bed and put his fingers on her upper abdomen.
After just pressing with moderate force, I heard Mrs. Du shouting in pain, then she got up and lay on the bedside and retched.
On the side, Mrs. Du was startled, hurriedly patted her mother-in-law on the back, and then looked up at Luo Jiuli.
"Miss Luo Er, what on earth is going on?"
Luo Jiuli calmly retracted his hand and took a step back.
In fact, she already knew it after diagnosing the pulse. She pressed Mrs. Du's abdomen just to confirm.
Mrs. Du, who had finished retching, lay down on the bed, looked Luo Jiuli up and down, and said questioningly.
"Miss Luo Er? Are you the second girl of the Luo Daohan family?"
Luo Jiuli was originally thinking about how to explain the disease without scaring the old lady. Unexpectedly, the old lady was quite caring and asked about her origins instead of asking about the disease.
Luo Daohan, the name of her father, Lord Yiguo.
For those who can call her father by his first name, I think Mrs. Du has a fairly close relationship with her cheap father.
"Old Madam, please remember that I am indeed the second daughter of the Luo family."
On the side, Mrs. Du's eyebrows jumped. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would ask something else and embarrass Luo Jiuli, so she hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted:
"Mother, you are feeling ill, it is best to rest more. My wife will take Miss Luo Er out and prescribe some medicine for my mother."
As he spoke, he shouted toward the door:
"Mother Zhang, Qing'er, come in."
Outside, the nanny about thirty years old and the maid who had just left walked in one after the other.
"Madam."
The two men saluted.
"You guys take good care of the old lady and rest."
"yes."
Mrs. Du looked at Luo Jiuli.
"Miss Luo Er, let's go out and talk."
"good."
Luo Jiuli nodded and did not dare to tell the cause of the disease. He only threatened the old lady and hurriedly followed Mrs. Du out of the house.
Outside the house, Du Qilin and Luo Yuanjia were chatting with a thin, middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and a half-length beard.
