Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1052: No Result
The waiter couple were deeply surprised by Bian Mu's evasive and nonchalant attitude.

"Oh! You mean that old bronze mirror! It was a dowry given by my grandma. The old lady lived a hard life. When I got married... the old lady probably had nothing to give me, so she just gave me this thing. It's quite heavy. A few years ago, a friend helped to identify it and it turned out to be a fake. It had been placed with a pile of sundries before, and later, it was discovered by my daughter. As long as it's there, there are almost no mosquitoes. So we hung it in the bedroom. The old people said that it's unlucky to have an old mirror facing people, so we hung it like that. Lao Hao! Hurry up and let Doctor Bian have a look!" The middle-aged female waitress smiled and asked her husband to go into the bedroom and take down the bronze mirror.

Although the middle-aged waitress couple were not doing well, they always adhered to traditional etiquette. Even though Bian Mu was a respected and famous doctor, he could not casually step into other people's bedrooms.

Bian Mu is naturally a rule-abiding person, and he absolutely cannot enter the patient's master bedroom casually.

The waiter husband hurried into the bedroom, took down the old bronze mirror from the wall and handed it to Bian Mu.

It's so heavy! Apart from anything else, the weight of this bronze mirror is indeed not ordinary. At the same time, Bian Mu found that the waiter's left arm seemed very strong. He held such a heavy bronze mirror in his hand as if he was holding a slightly thicker dictionary.

As a general practitioner, Bian Mu has to see some orthopedic and surgical patients. He also has a certain level of proficiency in martial arts, and when it comes to matters of strength, he can usually understand most of it just by taking a few glances.

After weighing it a few times, Bian Mu realized that the bronze mirror in his hand was probably not made of 100% pure copper, and it contained at least something of other material.

"To be honest, I learned by chance that a famous traditional Chinese doctor used bronze mirrors from the Han Dynasty to enhance his diagnostic ability, thereby discovering more subtle symptoms and causes of diseases, and thus achieving a higher cure rate. I believe he was not lying, but... later, I found a few old bronze mirrors and pondered them for a long time, but have gained nothing so far. I was quite touched by the aura of this bronze mirror just now, so I borrowed it to take a look, hehe..." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Well! What's the big deal for me? It's not worth much anyway. If Doctor Bian likes it, I'll give it to you!" The middle-aged waitress responded with a smile.

The things belong to his wife's family, so the waitress' husband naturally couldn't express his opinion, so he just gave it to her! In the hot summer, if there are too many mosquitoes in the house, it's better to light an electronic mosquito coil.

"That won't do! There's no such rule! How about this... This bronze mirror belongs to you. Can you lend me paper and pen? I'll write you an IOU." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"No need! There's no need to go through so much trouble for such a worthless piece of copper!" The waitress still insisted on giving it away for free.

At this moment, their daughter with an injured face suddenly ran to the side, quickly took a pen and paper and handed it to Bian Mu. Interesting!
"It seems that this girl is the only one in their family who cares about this bronze mirror." Thinking of this, Bian Mu smiled at the girl, walked to the coffee table and took out a promissory note.

The girl's father found a gift bag from somewhere else and helped Bian Mu to simply wrap the bronze mirror.

"I have to go to the outpatient clinic in the afternoon, so I won't stay any longer. You guys need to discuss the agreement carefully and the parents of the party at fault need to agree. I'll prepare some herbal medicine later. Once you sign the agreement, I'll prepare the medicine rope for the child." After a few instructions, Bian Mu carried the old bronze mirror downstairs, took a taxi and went straight back to his own clinic.

Fan Sanqiao works overtime and dates his girlfriend, so he usually doesn't come home during lunch break.

Li Yunhu used to have dinner with Shangman Hongyun, and now he rarely comes back.

Alone, Bian Mu found a brightly lit place, sat in front of a small table and played with the bronze mirror over and over again.

It is made of purple copper and should not be from the Han Dynasty. The temperament does not look like it. The shape, the patterns on the back of the mirror, the style... nothing matches.

After thinking about it, Bian Mu suddenly realized that he might as well take a few X-rays of the bronze mirror. He was worried that he would damage the bronze mirror again due to a sudden whim. So he took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet for a long time. Finally, he was convinced that taking such pictures would have almost no effect on the quality of the bronze mirror itself.

As a result, the effect was not ideal, and it could even be said to be a failure. Bian Mu then realized that the physical mechanism of the X-ray machine used in the archaeological field and his own small medical X-ray machine should be different.

What the clinic has the most is containers of all sizes, so Bian Mu designed a small plan to measure density. After a long time of hard work, he finally determined that the borrowed bronze mirror did have a layer.

Direct light, back light, side light, transparent light… I kept changing the directions and distances, and even kept adjusting the focal length of the mirror reflection, but still got nothing.

"I wouldn't try it again on the fifteenth of every month, when the moon is full, right?! If I really have to do that... that would be too much! Never mind, I won't waste time. I'll just return it to the two families when they come to sign the agreement." Thinking of this, while no one was in the store, Bian Mu hid the unusually heavy bronze mirror in a hidden corner where no one noticed.

……

At 19:03 in the evening, the middle-aged waitress and her husband, and the parents of the party responsible for the accident came as scheduled to sign the agreement.

As expected, the parents of the person who caused the accident were from a relatively well-off family based on their dress and appearance, and they were very respectful to Bian Mu.

"Okay! The three parties have basically clarified the various risks in the agreement. Bring your child here another day to have his pulse taken. Today is Friday, and I will start preparing the medicine rope the day after tomorrow morning." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Please, Doctor Bian!"

"Please!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Bian!"

……

Amidst the polite exchanges, Bian Mu politely saw the two families off.

The evening breeze was cool, and in order to cool down, Bian Mu stayed at the door for a while longer.

"Eh?! Why are you alone here? Shouldn't Generals Fan, Li Heng and Ha be off work at this time?" While speaking, Nie Yawen suddenly appeared from nowhere.

"They each have their own things to do. Once my new building is renovated, I will naturally vacate the house here. They really have to find another way." As he spoke, Bian Mushang made a cup of fine drink for Nie Yawen.

"Decoration?! From the sound of your voice, are you really planning to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic?! My grandfather and the others didn't agree, but you rashly opened the clinic and made a fortune?! You are so arrogant! Lijin City can't tolerate you, right?" Nie Yawen looked very serious after bluffing Bian Mu in a serious manner.

After hearing this, Bian Mu felt that Nie Yawen was still talking about the same old things, so he smiled and didn't say much.
