Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl
Chapter 109
Chapter 109
When they arrived at Lu's house, Gu Chongyang first met his son Lu Tan and his young wife Xia Shi. They had all seen Gu Chongyang's medical skills before, and they were very happy to see Gu Chongyang now.
Being so trusted by others made Gu Chongyang feel happy from the bottom of her heart, she said a few polite words, and said to Madam Lu, "Madam, please lead me to see a doctor for Master Lu."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Lu's face, she hesitated for a while and said: "Chongyang, my lord is stubborn and stubborn, and he will go in later, if he says something bad, you must take it for my sake Take it easy."
Gu Chongyang heard that Mr. Lu is upright, upright, outstanding, and deeply trusted by the emperor. Perhaps such a person is born with a bit of a strange temper.
Gu Chongyang nodded, remembering Madam Lu's words.
Gu Chongyang was waiting in the hall, Madam Lu went to the study and came back after a while.
Contrary to the imaginary appearance of a tall, majestic and inviolable person, Mr. Lu was born thin and frail, with a beard on his chin, which is not the most important thing.The most important thing is that Mr. Lu's complexion is as dark as the bottom of a pot, but it is not normal black, but abnormally sickly black, at first glance he looks like a dark-faced Yasha.If it wasn't for Gu Chongyang being a doctor, he would definitely be the next one.
"Where is the doctor?" Master Lu said in a loud voice as he walked towards Mingtang quickly, "please give me the pulse quickly, I still have a lot of business to do."
Madam Lu almost trotted after him: "Master, don't worry, when you recover from illness, you can go to the Ministry of Officials, and no matter how many things you have to deal with."
Mrs. Lu walked a few steps quickly, entered the Ming Hall ahead of Mr. Lu, and introduced to Mr. Lu: "Master, this is Gu Chongyang, the fourth miss of the Gu family. I specially invited her to treat your illness today."
Fourth Miss?Isn't that a woman?
Master Lu stopped in his tracks, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves in anger: "Nonsense! How could you invite a woman to treat me? It's just messing around."
It was not without the Great Qi Dynasty that women became doctors.But those are specialized in treating women's diseases or in charge of delivering women.He is a dignified man, if a woman treats his illness, wouldn't it make people laugh when the news spread?
His face was getting darker day by day, and being ridiculed behind his back had already made him very distressed.He can no longer add to the jokes of those people.
Master Lu turned around and left.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help being embarrassed, this Mr. Lu is really as straightforward as the rumors say, he is good-natured and has a bad temper.Now there is one more thing added, that is to speak directly and not show mercy.
"Master, at first you only had a few inconspicuous spots on your face, which you could cover up with pink and black, but now your condition is getting worse and worse, your whole face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and you can't even get out of the door. Don't tell me It’s someone else, and even I saw it, and I felt terrified. Don’t you want to cure your illness?”
Mrs. Lu said: "Others laugh at you because you have this strange disease. If you can't cure it, let alone those people will keep laughing at you, even your position as the servant of the official department may not be able to keep it." .”
Upon hearing this, Master Lu involuntarily slowed down his steps.
It seems that although Master Lu has a straightforward personality, he is not a person who cannot communicate.
Young Master Lu Tan also persuaded: "Father, Fourth Miss Gu is indeed very skilled in medicine, and she does not treat all women's diseases. A year ago, Miss Gu Fourth cured my mother's facial paralysis. You later learned about it and praised it. Fourth Miss Gu is capable. There is something wrong with her face, maybe your illness should be settled in the hands of Fourth Miss. "
Although he didn't answer, Master Lu stood still.Gu Chongyang knew that he had listened to everything.
She stood up and said: "My lord, although I am a woman, I have also heard the story of Fu Hao going to war and Hua Mulan joining the army instead of her father. Although they are women, they may not be inferior to men. Even Tai Hospital now has female medical officers. Although they don't treat nobles like imperial physicians, they are involved in making medicine and brewing medicine, and you can't erase all their contributions."
Master Lu did not make a sound, but took back the steps he had taken, and stood with his hands behind his back, clearly wanting to hear Gu Chongyang continue.
"My lord, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. You are in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country. You should be more aware of the principle of judging talents than appearances than me, a woman in the inner house, in selecting talents for the Holy One. Black cats and white cats, those who can catch mice and keep food are good cats. Similarly, for patients, no matter men or women, as long as they can cure diseases, they are good doctors.”
"It doesn't matter how good a cat is, it doesn't matter whether it's black or white, as long as it catches mice and keeps food..."
Lu Daran repeated these two sentences in his mouth, and then said: "Based on these two sentences, it shows that your knowledge is much higher than that of ordinary men."
There was unabashed appreciation in his tone.
Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Mrs. Lu has a straight and honest personality, otherwise, she might really have lost her trip this time.
"Thank you for your praise, sir, can I see a doctor for you now?"
"If it doesn't work, I'd have left long ago. Why would I stand here and talk to you for a long time?" Master Lu turned his head and couldn't help being surprised: "Why are you so young?"
She is clearly just a girl doll in her teens, how can she cure illnesses?Isn't this a joke?
Master Lu frowned.
"My lord, please sit down, and I will give you the pulse." Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised, Gan Luo was 12 years old when he became prime minister, and I only have a little knowledge of medicine, which is nothing compared to him."
After hearing what she said, Mr. Lu stroked his beard and put away the contempt just now: "It's my appearance. I want to see how far your medical skills are."
Gu Chongyang didn't rush, looked, heard, asked, cut, one by one, Mr. Lu answered the questions fluently, he was very proficient, he didn't even have to think about it.
Gu Chongyang knew that these days, there must be many doctors who have consulted like this, and his behavior is really very normal.
Because he is a woman and young, Mr. Lu doesn't trust her a lot.She has to show some real ability to convince him.Originally, the treatment was only at Madam Lu's request, but now she suddenly changed her mind, and she wanted Master Lu to owe her a favor.
Secretly made up his mind, Gu Chongyang decided to make a big splash.
"My lord, someone must have said that the lungs govern the fur. You have heat in your lungs and a deficiency of both qi and blood. That's why your complexion is dark. To restore your complexion, you must start from the lungs. But you have taken a lot of medicine, It doesn't work at all, does it?"
As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.
Master Lu was shocked all of a sudden.
He has also roughly read the Huangdi Neijing himself, and has a little understanding of pharmacology.The doctor did say before that the lungs govern the skin, but how did she know?
Could it be that Madam told her the situation?
He turned to look at Mrs. Lu, but Mrs. Lu had a calm expression on her face, as if she had expected Miss Gu to say this.
No, it can't be Madam, she doesn't know anything about medicine.There were several doctors who came to treat him, and there were different opinions, and the results of the diagnosis were even more varied. He only found a few reliable doctors to treat him, and his wife would never remember so clearly.
That's what Miss Gu guessed.Let alone whether she can cure her illness, she does have some diagnostic skills.
Master Lu's heart lightened, and his tone was much more amiable than before: "Miss Gu, you are right. I did take medicine to regulate lung heat before, and it really didn't work."
"En." Gu Chongyang nodded, accepted his words, and continued: "Later, some doctors said that it was caused by stagnation of liver qi, so they prescribed some medicines to soothe the liver and regulate qi. But after taking it, there was still no pain." Any effect, right?"
"Yes."
At this moment Master Lu has been completely convinced by Gu Chongyang, he feels that Gu Chongyang must have the real ability to cure his illness.
Although this disease does not affect his eating, drinking and resting, he cannot go out to meet people. Others will be afraid and laugh at him.With such a ghostly appearance, let alone seeing the Holy Spirit in person, even he himself dared not look in the mirror.He had no choice but to move the official affairs of the official department to his home, but it was very inconvenient, the dignified servant of the official department, he couldn't stay away from seeing people all his life, right?
This disease has tortured him for more than half a month, and some political opponents attacked him, saying that he was possessed by evil spirits.
He could only bear with it, but he was very cooperative in seeking a doctor, otherwise he wouldn't have changed several doctors in a row.But after changing several doctors, his illness did not improve at all.
What was even more frightening was that the imperial doctors were helpless, saying that the black face was just an appearance, and there might be some kind of serious illness hidden in the body. Once the serious illness broke out, who knew what the consequences would be.
This Fourth Miss of the Gu family is obviously much better at medical skills than those previous doctors.
The tone he spoke to Gu Chongyang was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning: "Miss Gu, do you think I have heat in my lungs, stagnation of liver qi, or both?"
"Not at all." Gu Chongyang shook his head, and said, "Lord Lu, you are poisoned."
As soon as Gu Chongyang said this, everyone in the room couldn't help but change color.
"Poisoned?" Lord Lu's eyes widened in disbelief, but his body was covered with cold sweat, his thoughts were turned and turned, and he suspected his political opponents all over.
Mrs. Lu was even more startled, and looked at Gu Chongyang nervously: "What kind of poison is it? Is it important? Is it harmful to the body? Is there any cure? What antidote should I take?"
Speaking of the latter, there were tears in his eyes.
The husband and wife are loving, Mrs. Lu is poisoned, Madam Lu is naturally heartbroken.
Her first thought was that Mr. Lu was poisoned when he was working in the official department, but after another thought, Mr. Lu hadn't been to the official department for seven or eight days, and he hadn't even been out of the house. He ate meals at home. , drinking the water at home.That means that the poison is in the home.
The population of the family is simple, and since her daughter-in-law got married, Mrs. Lu, who didn't like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, directly left the affairs of the inner house to her daughter-in-law.But I didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen, allowing people with ulterior motives to sneak into the house and poison them under their noses.
The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more frightened she became, she hurriedly said: "Quickly, let someone close the door, only allowed in, not allowed out. Everyone in the kitchen, take care of them."
The young mistress Xia was also panicked. Now that she is her housekeeper, she cannot escape the responsibility for such a big incident.She glanced at her husband for help, then stood up and said anxiously: "Mother, it's because of my ineffective housekeeping that such a big leak occurred, please punish me."
No matter whose family's daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, they cannot shirk their responsibility for such a big incident.Xia Shi is not afraid of self-blame.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Madam Lu was not angry, but comforted her: "You are young, so it is very normal to have things you can't take care of. Even if you let me take care of it, it's hard to avoid such mistakes. It's not your poison, it's not your fault, don't worry."
Then he said to Lu Tan: "Da Lang, quickly help your daughter-in-law to sit down, and see how frightened she is."
It was she who was lazy and didn't want the housekeeper to push it to her daughter-in-law. The Xia family has done a good job. She is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong.
Seeing this, Gu Chongyang secretly nodded.Mrs. Lu really deserves to be from a scholarly family and the master of Ruizhu Academy.The point of not venting anger and not blaming others indiscriminately is enough for many housewives to learn.
"My lord, ma'am, please don't worry." Gu Chongyang said: "Although your lord was poisoned, it's not serious. It shouldn't be someone intentionally poisoning you."
"If I hadn't been poisoned, how could I have been poisoned?" Master Lu was full of surprise: "Miss Gu, how do you say that?"
"My lord, if I were a poisoner who wanted to harm you, I would use two methods. One method used extremely poisonous drugs, and a pack of drugs killed you, but you are fine now. Obviously, it is not the first method." .”
Master Lu nodded after hearing this, stroked his beard and said, "What about the second type?"
"The second is to use chronic medicine. It will not kill you immediately, but it will slowly wear down your body for a long time and make you weak. Once you have enough time, you will die suddenly. But now you are in good health and can speak powerfully. Walking like the wind, obviously, is not the second type."
"Even if it's the second type, no poisoner would be so stupid as to use this kind of poison that makes people eat it and won't die, but it will show on the face instead? Isn't this clearly telling others that there is a problem with the body, exposing the body? alone?"
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly, with a confident self-confidence: "So, I can be sure, Master Lu, you did not intentionally poison someone, I am afraid it was caused by accidental ingestion."
Her explanation was reasonable, and everyone in the room nodded in agreement, Master Lu even agreed repeatedly: "Miss Gu, in your opinion, what kind of poison have I been poisoned by?"
"It's pinellia." Gu Chongyang said: "People who eat pinellia that is not prepared properly will have spots on their face and even turn black. My lord, have you eaten pinellia recently?"
"No." Lord Lu shook his head after thinking for a while, "There is no pinellia in the medicines I took recently."
"It has nothing to do with taking the medicine. You have spots on your face before asking the doctor to take the medicine. It must not be caused by taking the medicine." Gu Chongyang asked the young mistress Xia: "Young mistress, have you cooked anything in the kitchen during this time?" Have you used pinellia?"
"This...although I'm not sure, but I dare to say that I didn't ask them to let Pinellia go." Xia Shi said: "As for whether they are useful or not, I still have to call the cook."
Gu Chongyang looked seriously at the face of the young mistress, then at Mrs. Lu and Lu Tan, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "There is no need to call the cook over. There are only four masters in your house, do they usually eat together?"
"Yes." Xia Shi nodded and said, "We are all together."
"Then why didn't the three of you get poisoned, and Master Lu was the only one who was poisoned?" Gu Chongyang pondered, "There must be something that you don't eat, and only Master Lu ate."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu and the young mistress Xia couldn't help but look at each other, and said in unison: "Could it be turtledove soup?"
"Turtle dove soup? Did Mr. Lu take it alone?"
"Yes." Mrs. Lu said: "My master loves to eat turtledoves. He usually says "I would rather eat a couple of turtledoves than half a catty of poultry". My family doesn't like to eat them. Lord Du loves to eat him. Although turtledoves are more expensive than chickens and ducks, they are not rare and are very nourishing, so I ordered to make a cup of turtledove soup for the master every day."
"Chongyang, is there something wrong with the turtledove soup?"
"I'm not sure yet, but it's about [-]% accurate." Gu Chongyang said, "When you stewed the turtledoves, didn't you put pinellia in?"
"No, absolutely not." Xia said: "I cook a cup of turtledove soup for my father every day. It was my mother who taught me what ingredients to put in and what heat to use. The cooks never dared to change it randomly. And this turtledove soup, My father has been taking it for more than a year, and he didn't take it recently, so why didn't he get poisoned before? Ms. Gu, did you make a mistake?"
"It's also possible that I made a mistake." Gu Chongyang didn't dare to speak too much, she said: "Turtledoves are all live animals, right? Can you bring one over and show me?"
"Of course." Xia replied, and asked someone to fetch the turtledove.
The turtledove was caught, and as soon as it was brought to Gu Chongyang, she immediately concluded: "It is clear that Mr. Lu was poisoned, and the culprit is this turtledove!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding.
Lu Tan said: "Miss Gu, can't turtledoves be eaten? Or will they be poisoned if they eat too much?"
"Turtledoves are sweet, delicious, and non-toxic. Eating more turtledoves can improve eyesight, benefit qi, and help yin and yang. The blood of turtledoves killed now is also a good medicine for detoxification. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Master Lu taking turtledoves."
Gu Chongyang said: "The problem is that this is not a domestic turtledove, but a wild turtledove. The young lady thought that the wild turtledove is more nourishing than the domestic one, so she bought it to make soup for Mr. Lu. It was out of good intentions, but she didn't know why. , that's why Master Lu was poisoned."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Shi for an instant.
Xia was nervous for a while, and hurriedly said: "At first, I bought domestic turtle doves. A month ago, an old farmer came to the door and said that wild turtle doves can be caught, and the price is cheaper than domestic ones. I thought wild turtle doves are more nourishing, and The poor old farmer begged hard, so we made an agreement with him that he would send a turtle dove over every day."
"I didn't know that wild turtledoves couldn't be eaten." Xia's face was full of self-blame and guilt, and the circles of his eyes were red: "Father, mother, husband, I really didn't mean it..."
"Nonsense!" Lu Tan pulled his face and shouted angrily: "You still have the face to cry, if you didn't make up your own mind, how could your father be ridiculed by others? If Miss Gu didn't come here today, you would have almost caused a catastrophe!"
"Shut up now." Mrs. Lu scolded Lu Tan: "Teach your son before you, teach your wife by your pillow. If you say that about your daughter-in-law, where can you put her face? She is also kind, even if she does something wrong, you can still do it. With my mother-in-law's discipline, there is no place for you to talk."
"Chongyang, is it true that wild turtledoves cannot be eaten?" Madam Lu said, "If you hadn't come here today, we wouldn't have known that this turtledove was wild. How did you find out?"
"Ma'am, turtledoves can fly. Domestic turtledoves usually cut their wings short and keep them in cages. Over time, turtledoves will grow fatter and fatter, but their coat color will lose their luster. The turtledove that Young Mistress asked someone to bring over has feathers. It is bright and full of energy, and its wings are complete and not too fat, so I can tell at a glance that it is wild and not domesticated."
In the previous life, her master taught her to raise pigeons, and in this life she has raised two pigeons herself. If she doesn't even have the ability to do this, then wouldn't the master, the old man, be furious?
"Ma'am, it's not that wild turtledoves can't be eaten, it also depends on the region." Gu Chongyang said unhurriedly: "The turtledove likes to use pinellia, whether it's seedlings, leaves or seeds, it likes to peck very much Therefore, it is best not to take the wild turtle doves in the north and the areas along the big rivers where pinellia grows, because there will be a lot of pinellia poison in the body of the turtle dove. It is okay for people to eat a wild turtle dove once in a while, but if they eat turtle doves every day like adults , will be indirectly poisoned."
"That's how it is. I understand everything after you say that." Mrs. Lu admired, "It's no wonder you know so much at such a young age."
Master Lu worried: "Then can the blackness on my face fade?"
"Of course." Before Gu Chongyang could answer, Mrs. Lu said: "Chongyang's medical skills are so powerful, the spots on your face are nothing more than a small problem to her, I guarantee you can catch them easily."
Gu Chongyang nodded with a smile: "Madam is right, this is indeed not a serious problem, and the medicine prescribed is very simple. Just blindly ginger will do."
"It's so simple?" Lu Tan said: "Father has taken so many medicines these days, many of which are expensive and nourishing medicines. How can ordinary ginger be enough?"
Even if your medical skills are good, you can't be good enough to prescribe only one medicine.After all, this is poisoning, and it has been poisoned for a month.
Facing Lu Tan's suspicion, Gu Chongyang didn't think it was disobedient, she said calmly: "Young Master Lu, don't be surprised. The treatment of a disease is about syndrome differentiation, and what is important is to find the root of the disease. Only by finding the root of the disease and prescribing the right medicine can the disease be cured. If the syndrome differentiation is wrong , Prescribing the wrong medicine will not only not cure the disease, but will bring other bad consequences. The so-called polar opposites are talking about this truth. Although ginger is very common, it has a miraculous effect on detoxifying pinellia. It can be said to be one thing and one thing.”
"If I say this, it may be difficult for you to understand. Let me give you an example, and you will understand." Gu Chongyang smiled slightly: "It's like an imperial examination. The examiner's question is "Germany". It’s right to write. But if you don’t talk about morality, but talk about “righteousness”, no matter how colorful your writing is, every word is beautiful, and the direction is wrong, you will never be hired. This is the opposite of what I just said It’s the same reason if the dialectic is wrong.”
After hearing this, Lu Tan blushed, and cupped his hands at Gu Chongyang: "Miss Gu is not only excellent in medical skills, but also has first-rate explanation skills. Lu Tan feels ashamed."
Mrs. Lu's face showed a sense of pride: "I said earlier that Chongyang is not an easy child, and he did not disappoint me. Chongyang, please tell me how to take this ginger."
Madam Lu's tone of not treating Gu Chongyang as an outsider moved her very much: "Yes, ma'am. It's actually very simple, as long as you mash fresh ginger to get juice, and take half a bowl of ginger juice every morning and noon."
"Others take medicine three times a day, in the morning, noon, and evening, or twice a day in morning and evening. Why do you take it in the morning and at noon, and why don't you use it at night?"
Gu Chongyang was very surprised when he heard this: "Madam, don't you know the truth that "eating ginger in the morning is better than eating ginseng soup; eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic"?"
"How can she know?" Lu Daren said: "My wife is most troubled by housekeeping chores. If you ask her how many kinds of chrysanthemums there are, and which kind of flowering period, she knows everything. If you ask her about these things, she doesn't know anything about it. .”
Mrs. Lu also reacted: "Why can't you eat ginger at night?"
Master Lu shook his head helplessly: "There are four seasons, everything is divided into yin and yang, and people are no exception. In the morning, yang qi rises, and ginger warms and nourishes. Taking it can help yang qi and make people energetic. At night, yin qi Gradually flourishing, yang qi is restrained, and people also need to restrain and store it. Taking ginger at this time is not against yin and yang? It is not a way of health preservation."
Gu Chongyang nodded and said: "My lord is right."
"So that's it." Mrs. Lu looked at Mrs. Xia: "Isn't there any ginger in the dishes we eat at night?"
Xia Shi nodded without hesitation: "Indeed."
Master Lu came again: "Miss Gu, how long will it take for the blackness on my face to fade after I take ginger juice?"
Gu Chongyang thought for a while and said: "Ten days can lighten it, 20 days can eliminate most of it, and one month can heal it."
"It's going to take that long?" Master Lu was a little anxious: "Then I won't be able to go out for a month."
"Adults have mistakenly taken pinellia for a month, so the detoxification will naturally take place slowly. This is the reason why the disease disappears like a thread." Gu Chongyang persuaded: "Although it is said that it will take a month to recover, it will take ten days. After the lightening, the adults can go out. As long as the face does not continue to turn black, but slowly getting better, others will know that the adults are recovering from the disease, and there is no serious problem."
"It's true." Master Lu was still not satisfied: "Although ten days is too long, compared to one month, it's not bad."
"Master, you are really not greedy." Mrs. Lu teased, "If you just threw up your sleeves and left, you wouldn't be able to go out for more than a month, I'm afraid two months or three months."
"Why are you still talking about this?" Master Lu couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and get me ginger juice. I can take it once before it's still early. Drink it early."
"Yes." Madam Lu agreed, and asked her daughter-in-law Xia to prepare lunch for Gu Chongyang, while she led Gu Chongyang to the guest room for her to rest for a while.
"Just stay here with peace of mind." Mrs. Lu said, "I can't help you with other things, but as long as you want to live here, I can stop the Gu family from taking you away."
It's great to have someone who can help me like this.
A warm feeling rose in Gu Chongyang's heart, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Madam for your love, I will be bothering you these days."
"You rest for a while, I'll go and see if the ginger juice is ready." Mrs. Lu introduced the maid to Gu Chongyang: "This is Qiu Ju, if you have anything to do, just tell her, don't be polite."
Mrs. Lu told Qiu Ju again: "Miss Gu is my savior, and she came to our house to treat the master. You must be careful in serving her, and you must not neglect her."
Qiu Ju's heart trembled, she quickly lowered her hands and said, "Yes."
After Mrs. Lu left, Gu Chongyang fell into deep thought.
Sang Wu might have already sent someone to Nanjing. When someone arrived in Nanjing and conveyed her words, my uncle would not be able to arrive in the capital until next month at the earliest.But before that, Ge Bilian had already entered the door.She can't hide in Lu's house forever.
Now that I have come out of Gu's residence, Lvwu Qingzhi and Danxin probably won't be under the strict supervision as before.I don't know if they suffered or not.
If things can go according to the plan, the head room should have heard that he has medical skills and came to treat Mr. Lu's illness.
I don't know what the old lady of Changfang will do.As long as she has a little heartbeat, the Gu family will send someone to find her today and tomorrow.
In today's Gu family, the only one who can protect her is the old lady of the long house.But would she believe the news that Luwu and the others spread?Would she, like others, think that her medical skills were a fantasy?
The open-mindedness and wisdom of the old lady of the Changfang made Gu Chongyang dare not speculate on her thoughts.
If not, she might ask Mrs. Lu for help.After arriving in the capital, she only cured two patients, Mrs. Lu and Gu Chongzhi.The only one who can help me and who believes in my medical skills is Mrs. Lu.If Mrs. Lu was a lobbyist, maybe the old lady of Changfang would still believe a thing or two.
She has confidence in her medical skills, as long as the old lady of the Changfang gives her a chance to diagnose and treat, she will definitely convince the old lady of the Changfang.
Gu Chongyang underestimated Gu Weirui's condition. He was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed and was about to die.
At this time, the Changfang was in a state of mourning and panic. When the old lady of the Changfang heard that Gu Chongyang was under the tutelage of an expert in Chizhou, with superb medical skills, how could she sit still?
In the evening of that day, Mrs. Ying came to Lu's house with Mistress Rui.
But Gu Chongyang didn't know.
Because Mrs. Ying told Mrs. Rui that she was here to visit Mrs. Lu.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Ying came straight to the point and said: "My uncle and madam, I heard that the fourth lady of our family's second room, Gu Chongyang, is treating my uncle's illness in your residence. Is this true?"
Mrs. Lu was a little surprised and said: "Yes, my wife, I went to pick up Chongyang early this morning, just to treat our master's illness. Why do you have something to do with Chongyang?"
Mrs. Yingda heard this, but she didn't answer, but the expression on her face became even more nervous: "People in the family said that this child Chongyang has treated your illnesses before, and his methods are better than those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. It's not a secret." Mrs. Lu said gently, "That year I went to congratulate Mrs. Ge of your mansion on her birthday. I don’t want to, the lady of your mansion wants to force it. It was Chongyang who turned the tide, stopped the imperial doctor’s actions, and even helped me treat my illness. My facial numbness will be cured soon. Now there is no problem left.”
"Didn't Sister Han watch me when Chongyang was treating my illness?" Mrs. Lu said by the nickname of Mrs. Ruida, the patient of Mrs. Lu: "Didn't you know about this? Why did you let your mother-in-law run away?" Come on, I'm really ignorant."
"Auntie!" Mistress Rui suddenly choked up and said, "Maozhi is too sick to get out of bed, and the imperial doctors have nothing to do... say let's prepare for the funeral..."
Maozhi is the name of Gu Weirui, the young master of the Changfang.
"Didn't it improve a lot before?" Mrs. Lu was surprised: "There is nothing the imperial doctors can do, why don't you ask other doctors to take a look? There are still many doctors in the capital. Although they are not well-known, they have some real skills. By the way, Didn't you let Chongyang show Maozhi?"
It was Young Mistress Rui who asked, but Mrs. Lu's eyes fell on Mrs. Yingda's face.
"No." Mrs. Yingda said with red eyes: "I have never heard of the Chongyang Society's medical skills before. Although Sister Han mentioned it, no one would believe that a ten-year-old child can heal diseases. Therefore, I I came here just to ask my uncle and wife, does Chongyang really know medical skills?"
"Of course I really know how to heal! Otherwise, I will lie to you to do something. I can't guarantee it for others, but my illness was indeed cured by Chongyang. Even our master, the imperial doctor has been sick these days. I invited a famous doctor, and I took a lot of medicine, but it didn’t get better. This time, I invited Chongyang to come, and I found the root of the disease immediately. Although Chongyang said that it would take ten days to really see the effect, but there is no need. After waiting for ten days, I can be sure that Chongyang will be able to cure our master's illness. Her medical skills are much better than those imperial physicians."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "There is such a person with excellent medical skills hidden in the family, how can you not let her see Maozhi?"
(End of this chapter)
When they arrived at Lu's house, Gu Chongyang first met his son Lu Tan and his young wife Xia Shi. They had all seen Gu Chongyang's medical skills before, and they were very happy to see Gu Chongyang now.
Being so trusted by others made Gu Chongyang feel happy from the bottom of her heart, she said a few polite words, and said to Madam Lu, "Madam, please lead me to see a doctor for Master Lu."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Lu's face, she hesitated for a while and said: "Chongyang, my lord is stubborn and stubborn, and he will go in later, if he says something bad, you must take it for my sake Take it easy."
Gu Chongyang heard that Mr. Lu is upright, upright, outstanding, and deeply trusted by the emperor. Perhaps such a person is born with a bit of a strange temper.
Gu Chongyang nodded, remembering Madam Lu's words.
Gu Chongyang was waiting in the hall, Madam Lu went to the study and came back after a while.
Contrary to the imaginary appearance of a tall, majestic and inviolable person, Mr. Lu was born thin and frail, with a beard on his chin, which is not the most important thing.The most important thing is that Mr. Lu's complexion is as dark as the bottom of a pot, but it is not normal black, but abnormally sickly black, at first glance he looks like a dark-faced Yasha.If it wasn't for Gu Chongyang being a doctor, he would definitely be the next one.
"Where is the doctor?" Master Lu said in a loud voice as he walked towards Mingtang quickly, "please give me the pulse quickly, I still have a lot of business to do."
Madam Lu almost trotted after him: "Master, don't worry, when you recover from illness, you can go to the Ministry of Officials, and no matter how many things you have to deal with."
Mrs. Lu walked a few steps quickly, entered the Ming Hall ahead of Mr. Lu, and introduced to Mr. Lu: "Master, this is Gu Chongyang, the fourth miss of the Gu family. I specially invited her to treat your illness today."
Fourth Miss?Isn't that a woman?
Master Lu stopped in his tracks, and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves in anger: "Nonsense! How could you invite a woman to treat me? It's just messing around."
It was not without the Great Qi Dynasty that women became doctors.But those are specialized in treating women's diseases or in charge of delivering women.He is a dignified man, if a woman treats his illness, wouldn't it make people laugh when the news spread?
His face was getting darker day by day, and being ridiculed behind his back had already made him very distressed.He can no longer add to the jokes of those people.
Master Lu turned around and left.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help being embarrassed, this Mr. Lu is really as straightforward as the rumors say, he is good-natured and has a bad temper.Now there is one more thing added, that is to speak directly and not show mercy.
"Master, at first you only had a few inconspicuous spots on your face, which you could cover up with pink and black, but now your condition is getting worse and worse, your whole face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and you can't even get out of the door. Don't tell me It’s someone else, and even I saw it, and I felt terrified. Don’t you want to cure your illness?”
Mrs. Lu said: "Others laugh at you because you have this strange disease. If you can't cure it, let alone those people will keep laughing at you, even your position as the servant of the official department may not be able to keep it." .”
Upon hearing this, Master Lu involuntarily slowed down his steps.
It seems that although Master Lu has a straightforward personality, he is not a person who cannot communicate.
Young Master Lu Tan also persuaded: "Father, Fourth Miss Gu is indeed very skilled in medicine, and she does not treat all women's diseases. A year ago, Miss Gu Fourth cured my mother's facial paralysis. You later learned about it and praised it. Fourth Miss Gu is capable. There is something wrong with her face, maybe your illness should be settled in the hands of Fourth Miss. "
Although he didn't answer, Master Lu stood still.Gu Chongyang knew that he had listened to everything.
She stood up and said: "My lord, although I am a woman, I have also heard the story of Fu Hao going to war and Hua Mulan joining the army instead of her father. Although they are women, they may not be inferior to men. Even Tai Hospital now has female medical officers. Although they don't treat nobles like imperial physicians, they are involved in making medicine and brewing medicine, and you can't erase all their contributions."
Master Lu did not make a sound, but took back the steps he had taken, and stood with his hands behind his back, clearly wanting to hear Gu Chongyang continue.
"My lord, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. You are in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country. You should be more aware of the principle of judging talents than appearances than me, a woman in the inner house, in selecting talents for the Holy One. Black cats and white cats, those who can catch mice and keep food are good cats. Similarly, for patients, no matter men or women, as long as they can cure diseases, they are good doctors.”
"It doesn't matter how good a cat is, it doesn't matter whether it's black or white, as long as it catches mice and keeps food..."
Lu Daran repeated these two sentences in his mouth, and then said: "Based on these two sentences, it shows that your knowledge is much higher than that of ordinary men."
There was unabashed appreciation in his tone.
Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Mrs. Lu has a straight and honest personality, otherwise, she might really have lost her trip this time.
"Thank you for your praise, sir, can I see a doctor for you now?"
"If it doesn't work, I'd have left long ago. Why would I stand here and talk to you for a long time?" Master Lu turned his head and couldn't help being surprised: "Why are you so young?"
She is clearly just a girl doll in her teens, how can she cure illnesses?Isn't this a joke?
Master Lu frowned.
"My lord, please sit down, and I will give you the pulse." Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be surprised, Gan Luo was 12 years old when he became prime minister, and I only have a little knowledge of medicine, which is nothing compared to him."
After hearing what she said, Mr. Lu stroked his beard and put away the contempt just now: "It's my appearance. I want to see how far your medical skills are."
Gu Chongyang didn't rush, looked, heard, asked, cut, one by one, Mr. Lu answered the questions fluently, he was very proficient, he didn't even have to think about it.
Gu Chongyang knew that these days, there must be many doctors who have consulted like this, and his behavior is really very normal.
Because he is a woman and young, Mr. Lu doesn't trust her a lot.She has to show some real ability to convince him.Originally, the treatment was only at Madam Lu's request, but now she suddenly changed her mind, and she wanted Master Lu to owe her a favor.
Secretly made up his mind, Gu Chongyang decided to make a big splash.
"My lord, someone must have said that the lungs govern the fur. You have heat in your lungs and a deficiency of both qi and blood. That's why your complexion is dark. To restore your complexion, you must start from the lungs. But you have taken a lot of medicine, It doesn't work at all, does it?"
As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.
Master Lu was shocked all of a sudden.
He has also roughly read the Huangdi Neijing himself, and has a little understanding of pharmacology.The doctor did say before that the lungs govern the skin, but how did she know?
Could it be that Madam told her the situation?
He turned to look at Mrs. Lu, but Mrs. Lu had a calm expression on her face, as if she had expected Miss Gu to say this.
No, it can't be Madam, she doesn't know anything about medicine.There were several doctors who came to treat him, and there were different opinions, and the results of the diagnosis were even more varied. He only found a few reliable doctors to treat him, and his wife would never remember so clearly.
That's what Miss Gu guessed.Let alone whether she can cure her illness, she does have some diagnostic skills.
Master Lu's heart lightened, and his tone was much more amiable than before: "Miss Gu, you are right. I did take medicine to regulate lung heat before, and it really didn't work."
"En." Gu Chongyang nodded, accepted his words, and continued: "Later, some doctors said that it was caused by stagnation of liver qi, so they prescribed some medicines to soothe the liver and regulate qi. But after taking it, there was still no pain." Any effect, right?"
"Yes."
At this moment Master Lu has been completely convinced by Gu Chongyang, he feels that Gu Chongyang must have the real ability to cure his illness.
Although this disease does not affect his eating, drinking and resting, he cannot go out to meet people. Others will be afraid and laugh at him.With such a ghostly appearance, let alone seeing the Holy Spirit in person, even he himself dared not look in the mirror.He had no choice but to move the official affairs of the official department to his home, but it was very inconvenient, the dignified servant of the official department, he couldn't stay away from seeing people all his life, right?
This disease has tortured him for more than half a month, and some political opponents attacked him, saying that he was possessed by evil spirits.
He could only bear with it, but he was very cooperative in seeking a doctor, otherwise he wouldn't have changed several doctors in a row.But after changing several doctors, his illness did not improve at all.
What was even more frightening was that the imperial doctors were helpless, saying that the black face was just an appearance, and there might be some kind of serious illness hidden in the body. Once the serious illness broke out, who knew what the consequences would be.
This Fourth Miss of the Gu family is obviously much better at medical skills than those previous doctors.
The tone he spoke to Gu Chongyang was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning: "Miss Gu, do you think I have heat in my lungs, stagnation of liver qi, or both?"
"Not at all." Gu Chongyang shook his head, and said, "Lord Lu, you are poisoned."
As soon as Gu Chongyang said this, everyone in the room couldn't help but change color.
"Poisoned?" Lord Lu's eyes widened in disbelief, but his body was covered with cold sweat, his thoughts were turned and turned, and he suspected his political opponents all over.
Mrs. Lu was even more startled, and looked at Gu Chongyang nervously: "What kind of poison is it? Is it important? Is it harmful to the body? Is there any cure? What antidote should I take?"
Speaking of the latter, there were tears in his eyes.
The husband and wife are loving, Mrs. Lu is poisoned, Madam Lu is naturally heartbroken.
Her first thought was that Mr. Lu was poisoned when he was working in the official department, but after another thought, Mr. Lu hadn't been to the official department for seven or eight days, and he hadn't even been out of the house. He ate meals at home. , drinking the water at home.That means that the poison is in the home.
The population of the family is simple, and since her daughter-in-law got married, Mrs. Lu, who didn't like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, directly left the affairs of the inner house to her daughter-in-law.But I didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen, allowing people with ulterior motives to sneak into the house and poison them under their noses.
The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more frightened she became, she hurriedly said: "Quickly, let someone close the door, only allowed in, not allowed out. Everyone in the kitchen, take care of them."
The young mistress Xia was also panicked. Now that she is her housekeeper, she cannot escape the responsibility for such a big incident.She glanced at her husband for help, then stood up and said anxiously: "Mother, it's because of my ineffective housekeeping that such a big leak occurred, please punish me."
No matter whose family's daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, they cannot shirk their responsibility for such a big incident.Xia Shi is not afraid of self-blame.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Madam Lu was not angry, but comforted her: "You are young, so it is very normal to have things you can't take care of. Even if you let me take care of it, it's hard to avoid such mistakes. It's not your poison, it's not your fault, don't worry."
Then he said to Lu Tan: "Da Lang, quickly help your daughter-in-law to sit down, and see how frightened she is."
It was she who was lazy and didn't want the housekeeper to push it to her daughter-in-law. The Xia family has done a good job. She is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong.
Seeing this, Gu Chongyang secretly nodded.Mrs. Lu really deserves to be from a scholarly family and the master of Ruizhu Academy.The point of not venting anger and not blaming others indiscriminately is enough for many housewives to learn.
"My lord, ma'am, please don't worry." Gu Chongyang said: "Although your lord was poisoned, it's not serious. It shouldn't be someone intentionally poisoning you."
"If I hadn't been poisoned, how could I have been poisoned?" Master Lu was full of surprise: "Miss Gu, how do you say that?"
"My lord, if I were a poisoner who wanted to harm you, I would use two methods. One method used extremely poisonous drugs, and a pack of drugs killed you, but you are fine now. Obviously, it is not the first method." .”
Master Lu nodded after hearing this, stroked his beard and said, "What about the second type?"
"The second is to use chronic medicine. It will not kill you immediately, but it will slowly wear down your body for a long time and make you weak. Once you have enough time, you will die suddenly. But now you are in good health and can speak powerfully. Walking like the wind, obviously, is not the second type."
"Even if it's the second type, no poisoner would be so stupid as to use this kind of poison that makes people eat it and won't die, but it will show on the face instead? Isn't this clearly telling others that there is a problem with the body, exposing the body? alone?"
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly, with a confident self-confidence: "So, I can be sure, Master Lu, you did not intentionally poison someone, I am afraid it was caused by accidental ingestion."
Her explanation was reasonable, and everyone in the room nodded in agreement, Master Lu even agreed repeatedly: "Miss Gu, in your opinion, what kind of poison have I been poisoned by?"
"It's pinellia." Gu Chongyang said: "People who eat pinellia that is not prepared properly will have spots on their face and even turn black. My lord, have you eaten pinellia recently?"
"No." Lord Lu shook his head after thinking for a while, "There is no pinellia in the medicines I took recently."
"It has nothing to do with taking the medicine. You have spots on your face before asking the doctor to take the medicine. It must not be caused by taking the medicine." Gu Chongyang asked the young mistress Xia: "Young mistress, have you cooked anything in the kitchen during this time?" Have you used pinellia?"
"This...although I'm not sure, but I dare to say that I didn't ask them to let Pinellia go." Xia Shi said: "As for whether they are useful or not, I still have to call the cook."
Gu Chongyang looked seriously at the face of the young mistress, then at Mrs. Lu and Lu Tan, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "There is no need to call the cook over. There are only four masters in your house, do they usually eat together?"
"Yes." Xia Shi nodded and said, "We are all together."
"Then why didn't the three of you get poisoned, and Master Lu was the only one who was poisoned?" Gu Chongyang pondered, "There must be something that you don't eat, and only Master Lu ate."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu and the young mistress Xia couldn't help but look at each other, and said in unison: "Could it be turtledove soup?"
"Turtle dove soup? Did Mr. Lu take it alone?"
"Yes." Mrs. Lu said: "My master loves to eat turtledoves. He usually says "I would rather eat a couple of turtledoves than half a catty of poultry". My family doesn't like to eat them. Lord Du loves to eat him. Although turtledoves are more expensive than chickens and ducks, they are not rare and are very nourishing, so I ordered to make a cup of turtledove soup for the master every day."
"Chongyang, is there something wrong with the turtledove soup?"
"I'm not sure yet, but it's about [-]% accurate." Gu Chongyang said, "When you stewed the turtledoves, didn't you put pinellia in?"
"No, absolutely not." Xia said: "I cook a cup of turtledove soup for my father every day. It was my mother who taught me what ingredients to put in and what heat to use. The cooks never dared to change it randomly. And this turtledove soup, My father has been taking it for more than a year, and he didn't take it recently, so why didn't he get poisoned before? Ms. Gu, did you make a mistake?"
"It's also possible that I made a mistake." Gu Chongyang didn't dare to speak too much, she said: "Turtledoves are all live animals, right? Can you bring one over and show me?"
"Of course." Xia replied, and asked someone to fetch the turtledove.
The turtledove was caught, and as soon as it was brought to Gu Chongyang, she immediately concluded: "It is clear that Mr. Lu was poisoned, and the culprit is this turtledove!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding.
Lu Tan said: "Miss Gu, can't turtledoves be eaten? Or will they be poisoned if they eat too much?"
"Turtledoves are sweet, delicious, and non-toxic. Eating more turtledoves can improve eyesight, benefit qi, and help yin and yang. The blood of turtledoves killed now is also a good medicine for detoxification. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Master Lu taking turtledoves."
Gu Chongyang said: "The problem is that this is not a domestic turtledove, but a wild turtledove. The young lady thought that the wild turtledove is more nourishing than the domestic one, so she bought it to make soup for Mr. Lu. It was out of good intentions, but she didn't know why. , that's why Master Lu was poisoned."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Shi for an instant.
Xia was nervous for a while, and hurriedly said: "At first, I bought domestic turtle doves. A month ago, an old farmer came to the door and said that wild turtle doves can be caught, and the price is cheaper than domestic ones. I thought wild turtle doves are more nourishing, and The poor old farmer begged hard, so we made an agreement with him that he would send a turtle dove over every day."
"I didn't know that wild turtledoves couldn't be eaten." Xia's face was full of self-blame and guilt, and the circles of his eyes were red: "Father, mother, husband, I really didn't mean it..."
"Nonsense!" Lu Tan pulled his face and shouted angrily: "You still have the face to cry, if you didn't make up your own mind, how could your father be ridiculed by others? If Miss Gu didn't come here today, you would have almost caused a catastrophe!"
"Shut up now." Mrs. Lu scolded Lu Tan: "Teach your son before you, teach your wife by your pillow. If you say that about your daughter-in-law, where can you put her face? She is also kind, even if she does something wrong, you can still do it. With my mother-in-law's discipline, there is no place for you to talk."
"Chongyang, is it true that wild turtledoves cannot be eaten?" Madam Lu said, "If you hadn't come here today, we wouldn't have known that this turtledove was wild. How did you find out?"
"Ma'am, turtledoves can fly. Domestic turtledoves usually cut their wings short and keep them in cages. Over time, turtledoves will grow fatter and fatter, but their coat color will lose their luster. The turtledove that Young Mistress asked someone to bring over has feathers. It is bright and full of energy, and its wings are complete and not too fat, so I can tell at a glance that it is wild and not domesticated."
In the previous life, her master taught her to raise pigeons, and in this life she has raised two pigeons herself. If she doesn't even have the ability to do this, then wouldn't the master, the old man, be furious?
"Ma'am, it's not that wild turtledoves can't be eaten, it also depends on the region." Gu Chongyang said unhurriedly: "The turtledove likes to use pinellia, whether it's seedlings, leaves or seeds, it likes to peck very much Therefore, it is best not to take the wild turtle doves in the north and the areas along the big rivers where pinellia grows, because there will be a lot of pinellia poison in the body of the turtle dove. It is okay for people to eat a wild turtle dove once in a while, but if they eat turtle doves every day like adults , will be indirectly poisoned."
"That's how it is. I understand everything after you say that." Mrs. Lu admired, "It's no wonder you know so much at such a young age."
Master Lu worried: "Then can the blackness on my face fade?"
"Of course." Before Gu Chongyang could answer, Mrs. Lu said: "Chongyang's medical skills are so powerful, the spots on your face are nothing more than a small problem to her, I guarantee you can catch them easily."
Gu Chongyang nodded with a smile: "Madam is right, this is indeed not a serious problem, and the medicine prescribed is very simple. Just blindly ginger will do."
"It's so simple?" Lu Tan said: "Father has taken so many medicines these days, many of which are expensive and nourishing medicines. How can ordinary ginger be enough?"
Even if your medical skills are good, you can't be good enough to prescribe only one medicine.After all, this is poisoning, and it has been poisoned for a month.
Facing Lu Tan's suspicion, Gu Chongyang didn't think it was disobedient, she said calmly: "Young Master Lu, don't be surprised. The treatment of a disease is about syndrome differentiation, and what is important is to find the root of the disease. Only by finding the root of the disease and prescribing the right medicine can the disease be cured. If the syndrome differentiation is wrong , Prescribing the wrong medicine will not only not cure the disease, but will bring other bad consequences. The so-called polar opposites are talking about this truth. Although ginger is very common, it has a miraculous effect on detoxifying pinellia. It can be said to be one thing and one thing.”
"If I say this, it may be difficult for you to understand. Let me give you an example, and you will understand." Gu Chongyang smiled slightly: "It's like an imperial examination. The examiner's question is "Germany". It’s right to write. But if you don’t talk about morality, but talk about “righteousness”, no matter how colorful your writing is, every word is beautiful, and the direction is wrong, you will never be hired. This is the opposite of what I just said It’s the same reason if the dialectic is wrong.”
After hearing this, Lu Tan blushed, and cupped his hands at Gu Chongyang: "Miss Gu is not only excellent in medical skills, but also has first-rate explanation skills. Lu Tan feels ashamed."
Mrs. Lu's face showed a sense of pride: "I said earlier that Chongyang is not an easy child, and he did not disappoint me. Chongyang, please tell me how to take this ginger."
Madam Lu's tone of not treating Gu Chongyang as an outsider moved her very much: "Yes, ma'am. It's actually very simple, as long as you mash fresh ginger to get juice, and take half a bowl of ginger juice every morning and noon."
"Others take medicine three times a day, in the morning, noon, and evening, or twice a day in morning and evening. Why do you take it in the morning and at noon, and why don't you use it at night?"
Gu Chongyang was very surprised when he heard this: "Madam, don't you know the truth that "eating ginger in the morning is better than eating ginseng soup; eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic"?"
"How can she know?" Lu Daren said: "My wife is most troubled by housekeeping chores. If you ask her how many kinds of chrysanthemums there are, and which kind of flowering period, she knows everything. If you ask her about these things, she doesn't know anything about it. .”
Mrs. Lu also reacted: "Why can't you eat ginger at night?"
Master Lu shook his head helplessly: "There are four seasons, everything is divided into yin and yang, and people are no exception. In the morning, yang qi rises, and ginger warms and nourishes. Taking it can help yang qi and make people energetic. At night, yin qi Gradually flourishing, yang qi is restrained, and people also need to restrain and store it. Taking ginger at this time is not against yin and yang? It is not a way of health preservation."
Gu Chongyang nodded and said: "My lord is right."
"So that's it." Mrs. Lu looked at Mrs. Xia: "Isn't there any ginger in the dishes we eat at night?"
Xia Shi nodded without hesitation: "Indeed."
Master Lu came again: "Miss Gu, how long will it take for the blackness on my face to fade after I take ginger juice?"
Gu Chongyang thought for a while and said: "Ten days can lighten it, 20 days can eliminate most of it, and one month can heal it."
"It's going to take that long?" Master Lu was a little anxious: "Then I won't be able to go out for a month."
"Adults have mistakenly taken pinellia for a month, so the detoxification will naturally take place slowly. This is the reason why the disease disappears like a thread." Gu Chongyang persuaded: "Although it is said that it will take a month to recover, it will take ten days. After the lightening, the adults can go out. As long as the face does not continue to turn black, but slowly getting better, others will know that the adults are recovering from the disease, and there is no serious problem."
"It's true." Master Lu was still not satisfied: "Although ten days is too long, compared to one month, it's not bad."
"Master, you are really not greedy." Mrs. Lu teased, "If you just threw up your sleeves and left, you wouldn't be able to go out for more than a month, I'm afraid two months or three months."
"Why are you still talking about this?" Master Lu couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and get me ginger juice. I can take it once before it's still early. Drink it early."
"Yes." Madam Lu agreed, and asked her daughter-in-law Xia to prepare lunch for Gu Chongyang, while she led Gu Chongyang to the guest room for her to rest for a while.
"Just stay here with peace of mind." Mrs. Lu said, "I can't help you with other things, but as long as you want to live here, I can stop the Gu family from taking you away."
It's great to have someone who can help me like this.
A warm feeling rose in Gu Chongyang's heart, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Madam for your love, I will be bothering you these days."
"You rest for a while, I'll go and see if the ginger juice is ready." Mrs. Lu introduced the maid to Gu Chongyang: "This is Qiu Ju, if you have anything to do, just tell her, don't be polite."
Mrs. Lu told Qiu Ju again: "Miss Gu is my savior, and she came to our house to treat the master. You must be careful in serving her, and you must not neglect her."
Qiu Ju's heart trembled, she quickly lowered her hands and said, "Yes."
After Mrs. Lu left, Gu Chongyang fell into deep thought.
Sang Wu might have already sent someone to Nanjing. When someone arrived in Nanjing and conveyed her words, my uncle would not be able to arrive in the capital until next month at the earliest.But before that, Ge Bilian had already entered the door.She can't hide in Lu's house forever.
Now that I have come out of Gu's residence, Lvwu Qingzhi and Danxin probably won't be under the strict supervision as before.I don't know if they suffered or not.
If things can go according to the plan, the head room should have heard that he has medical skills and came to treat Mr. Lu's illness.
I don't know what the old lady of Changfang will do.As long as she has a little heartbeat, the Gu family will send someone to find her today and tomorrow.
In today's Gu family, the only one who can protect her is the old lady of the long house.But would she believe the news that Luwu and the others spread?Would she, like others, think that her medical skills were a fantasy?
The open-mindedness and wisdom of the old lady of the Changfang made Gu Chongyang dare not speculate on her thoughts.
If not, she might ask Mrs. Lu for help.After arriving in the capital, she only cured two patients, Mrs. Lu and Gu Chongzhi.The only one who can help me and who believes in my medical skills is Mrs. Lu.If Mrs. Lu was a lobbyist, maybe the old lady of Changfang would still believe a thing or two.
She has confidence in her medical skills, as long as the old lady of the Changfang gives her a chance to diagnose and treat, she will definitely convince the old lady of the Changfang.
Gu Chongyang underestimated Gu Weirui's condition. He was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed and was about to die.
At this time, the Changfang was in a state of mourning and panic. When the old lady of the Changfang heard that Gu Chongyang was under the tutelage of an expert in Chizhou, with superb medical skills, how could she sit still?
In the evening of that day, Mrs. Ying came to Lu's house with Mistress Rui.
But Gu Chongyang didn't know.
Because Mrs. Ying told Mrs. Rui that she was here to visit Mrs. Lu.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Ying came straight to the point and said: "My uncle and madam, I heard that the fourth lady of our family's second room, Gu Chongyang, is treating my uncle's illness in your residence. Is this true?"
Mrs. Lu was a little surprised and said: "Yes, my wife, I went to pick up Chongyang early this morning, just to treat our master's illness. Why do you have something to do with Chongyang?"
Mrs. Yingda heard this, but she didn't answer, but the expression on her face became even more nervous: "People in the family said that this child Chongyang has treated your illnesses before, and his methods are better than those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. It's not a secret." Mrs. Lu said gently, "That year I went to congratulate Mrs. Ge of your mansion on her birthday. I don’t want to, the lady of your mansion wants to force it. It was Chongyang who turned the tide, stopped the imperial doctor’s actions, and even helped me treat my illness. My facial numbness will be cured soon. Now there is no problem left.”
"Didn't Sister Han watch me when Chongyang was treating my illness?" Mrs. Lu said by the nickname of Mrs. Ruida, the patient of Mrs. Lu: "Didn't you know about this? Why did you let your mother-in-law run away?" Come on, I'm really ignorant."
"Auntie!" Mistress Rui suddenly choked up and said, "Maozhi is too sick to get out of bed, and the imperial doctors have nothing to do... say let's prepare for the funeral..."
Maozhi is the name of Gu Weirui, the young master of the Changfang.
"Didn't it improve a lot before?" Mrs. Lu was surprised: "There is nothing the imperial doctors can do, why don't you ask other doctors to take a look? There are still many doctors in the capital. Although they are not well-known, they have some real skills. By the way, Didn't you let Chongyang show Maozhi?"
It was Young Mistress Rui who asked, but Mrs. Lu's eyes fell on Mrs. Yingda's face.
"No." Mrs. Yingda said with red eyes: "I have never heard of the Chongyang Society's medical skills before. Although Sister Han mentioned it, no one would believe that a ten-year-old child can heal diseases. Therefore, I I came here just to ask my uncle and wife, does Chongyang really know medical skills?"
"Of course I really know how to heal! Otherwise, I will lie to you to do something. I can't guarantee it for others, but my illness was indeed cured by Chongyang. Even our master, the imperial doctor has been sick these days. I invited a famous doctor, and I took a lot of medicine, but it didn’t get better. This time, I invited Chongyang to come, and I found the root of the disease immediately. Although Chongyang said that it would take ten days to really see the effect, but there is no need. After waiting for ten days, I can be sure that Chongyang will be able to cure our master's illness. Her medical skills are much better than those imperial physicians."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "There is such a person with excellent medical skills hidden in the family, how can you not let her see Maozhi?"
