Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 396 Chance Encounter

"Don't be anxious, Auntie. Let me feel your pulse first. Come on, calm down." As she spoke, she gently placed her finger on the inch pulse of the aunt's right hand, but she didn't feel it, and she couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Then, she carefully felt the pulse again, "Auntie, you are not nervous, right?"

"No, no, there's nothing to be nervous about." The old lady expressed her confusion.

Song Ying nodded, "Auntie, come here, clench your fist like me... Open your mouth so I can see... what does it feel like to have chest pain..."

After a thorough examination, Song Ying determined the cause of the old lady's illness and found that the prescription was indeed not suitable for her.

She began to write the prescription. Seeing this, the old lady asked again, "Doctor Xiao Song, was the previous prescription wrong?"

"That's true, but your illness is even more serious. This is a dryness disease. The lungs are affected first, then the large intestines, and then the five internal organs. Each disease has its own form and needs to be diagnosed and treated separately."

The old lady was confused and didn't understand, but she felt that Dr. Song was very good!

Doctor Ma, who was taking the patient's pulse, twitched his lips slightly. Why did this kid show off his knowledge to the patient? Who did he learn this bookish habit from?

After he finished speaking, Song Ying also realized that the old lady didn't understand, so he changed his words and said, "Your illness has now reached your heart. The previous prescription was based on the early stage of the lungs. Maybe when the doctor took your pulse, it was indeed in the early stage, and it got worse later, so this medicine is not suitable for you."

"I understand now that you put it this way." The old lady suddenly realized and urged, "Then hurry up and prescribe a prescription for me. I've been in so much pain recently."

Song Ying quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to her, "Add seven liters of water and boil it down until only three liters are left. Drink one liter each time, three times a day."

The old lady took the prescription and said, "Please say it again. I don't remember it."

Before Song Ying could speak, a waiting patient squeezed over and said, "Hey, sister, please go first. It's the same if you ask Doctor Xiaolin when you get the medicine. Come, Doctor Xiaosong, take a look at me. My stomach has been very uncomfortable these days..."

At the beginning of February, there were many patients. Although Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan were added to the clinic to take turns seeing patients, the clinic was still very busy. The three of them even took turns to eat lunch.

By the time Doctor Ma and Lin Wenxuan had finished their meal, it was almost noon, and Lin Wenxuan came over to replace Song Ying.

Unexpectedly, just as Song Ying took a few bites from the bowl, a servant came in and said hurriedly, "Doctor Song, go and see our wife."

As she was able to see patients independently, in the past six months, many wealthy and powerful ladies and girls invited her to see patients at home. The servant who came was recognized by Song Ying, as he worked for County Magistrate Chen.

She sighed secretly, put down her bowl, picked up the medicine box, and said, "Let's go."

The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed out, then bumped into a patient who came to see the doctor. "Hey, auntie, please pay attention to the way you are walking."

"Hey, you are a capable young man, you tell lies without hesitation. You backed up and bumped into me, and you blamed me for not looking at the road! Who didn't look at the road? Don't go, let's sort it out today!

Also, who is your aunt? My master is a juren (a scholar)!"

"It was my fault that I didn't look at the road. It was my fault that I didn't look at the road. Madam, please forgive me. I have something urgent to do!" The servant hurried back and quickly admitted his mistake and apologized.

When Song Ying went out with the medicine box, the servant had already been pulled by the lady dressed in gold and silver, who was angrily trying to argue with him. Standing next to them were Zhang and Xiaoxiang.

"Xiaoxiang! Why are you here?" Song Ying was pleasantly surprised at first, then looked at her suspiciously, then at Zhang, "Are you sick or is Aunt Zhang sick?"

"No, we are here to accompany someone else." Xiaoxiang was delighted at first, but then her face turned red with shame, especially when she looked at the woman who was holding the servant of the county magistrate's mansion.

Song Ying was suspicious and was about to ask, but Zhang interrupted and said, "It's Song Ying, is your uncle here? I'll bring someone to see him."

"It's inside, you can just go in. But you may have to wait for a while as there are so many people here." Song Ying answered while looking at the completely unfamiliar woman. Song Ying had a good memory and remembered many relatives of Xiaoxiang's family, but she was sure that she had never seen this woman before.

"It's okay. There won't be many people coming to Doctor Ma's place that day. We'll put down our housework today and wait until dark." Zhang replied, and then went to persuade the woman, "Madam Gong, seeing a doctor is more important. Don't bother with a child."

Madam Gong thought it made sense, so she let the boy go and taught him a lesson: "Young man, remember to control your temper next time. It wasn't a big deal, but you were so rude. It's only because I'm kind that I don't care about it. If I were someone who cared about it, you'd lose your life!"

The servant was very impatient, but he had to suppress his temper and said hello again and again, and urged Song Ying, "Doctor Song, let's go quickly, my wife is still waiting, and we have to go to Shen's house as a guest after seeing the patient."

After hearing this, Song Ying was no longer in a hurry. He still had to go to Shen Mansion. It seemed that the magistrate's wife's condition was not urgent, so it would be okay to go a little later.

She walked to the window of the clinic and said to the inside: "Uncle, Brother, I'm going to the Chen residence to see a patient."

She left and there was no one in the pharmacy, so of course I had to inform them.

Doctor Ma nodded: "I understand, go ahead."

Song Ying said to Xiaoxiang again: "Xiaoxiang, I'm leaving first. I'll come back and play."

After saying this, he left with the servant.

Madam Gong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does Xiaoxiang know the doctor at Huichun Hall?"

"She is a girl from our Xinghua Village. She grew up with Xiaoxiang and they were good friends when they were young." Zhang's expression was a little complicated. In the past two years, she saw Song Ying and Luo Yanxing settle down in the city. Not only did their behavior change a lot, but their appearance also became more beautiful.

Among the three girls of the same age back then, her daughter Xiaoxiang was the worst. It would be a lie to say that she did not regret it. She thought more than once, if she had not stopped Xiaoxiang from continuing to associate with them, would her family also have a share in the soap shop today?

But now she doesn't regret it at all. So what if she opened a shop? Girls have to get married eventually. How can she marry into a good family if she shows up in public like this?

Madam Gong couldn't help but frown: "It's not right for a girl to show her face in public."

Then he looked at Xiaoxiang and said, "Xiaoxiang, you must not follow the example of your fellow countryman in the future."

"No, no," Zhang said repeatedly, "Our Xiaoxiang is the most sensible and obedient, completely different from Song Ying."

Some patients who had just seen the doctor couldn't help but help Song Ying when he heard this. "We poor people don't have so many requirements. Besides, Dr. Song is very capable. Do you know who just invited her?"

Madam Gong looked disdainful, "It doesn't matter who she is. After all, she is a doctor who treats patients."
