Chapter 103: Diagnosing Gold?

  Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Two incense sticks have passed. ← Baidu Search → [ Wu Shu ? ]

  The shop assistant of Hui Chun Tang came out and before he could speak, Ling Jingyu, Ling Xuan and Jiang Shi hastily walked up to him.

  "Can we go in now?" Ling Jingxu asked hastily.

  "That's okay," the shopkeeper replied with a smile. "Ling Gongzi's acupuncture treatment is already over, and Wei Taishi is writing out the prescription. We'll head back to Hui Chun Tang, where we have all the necessary medicinal ingredients, and the prices are much cheaper than other pharmacies. Miss Ling can go in and wait for a bit, then after getting the prescription, we can fill it at our Hui Chun Tang, which will be very convenient. And as for the topical ointment, that's also personally prepared by Wei Taishi, you won't find it anywhere else..."

  Ling Jingxu suppressed the anxiety in her heart and smiled slightly at her companion: "Thanks for reminding me."

  Her smile is as beautiful as a flower, and her beauty is beyond description.

  The fellow's face suddenly flushed with a racing heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at Ling Jingxian's pretty face again. He hastily lowered his head and said: "Miss Ling is too polite. Dr. Wei is still waiting in the inner hall, please go in, Miss Ling!"

  Ling Jing nodded and quickly walked into the inner hall, followed by Ling Xi and his wife.

  The imperial physician was writing a prescription with his head down.

  Ling Xiao still sat in the chair, with an unusual flush on his pale face and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

  "Ah Ling!" Ling Jingyu couldn't care about her feminine demeanor anymore, almost rushing to Ling Xiao's side: "How are you feeling now? Does your head hurt?"

  How can it not hurt!

  What the doctor said earlier was a bit painful, but it's really an understatement. The golden needle doesn't know what acupoint it pierced, and it hurts, aches, numbs, and swells at the same time. That kind of feeling is something that people who haven't experienced it absolutely can't imagine.

  He struggled to hold back, not daring to move, and finally managed to endure until the injection was over, having broken out in a cold sweat.

  "It just hurts a little bit." Ling Xiao forced out a brilliant smile: "It's all right now."

  Ling Jing was too familiar with Ling Xiao, how could she not tell that his words were insincere? Her heart ached with pity and sadness, but her mouth followed the tone of his voice and said: "As long as nothing's wrong, then it's good."

  One side took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped away the sweat beads on Ling Xiao's forehead.

  Ling Xi and Jiang also stepped forward, each comforting Ling Xiang a few words.

  ......

  The imperial physician bowed his head and focused on writing the prescription.

  A few strands of sunlight filtered through the window and fell on his handsome face. His eyebrows and eyes were warm, with a faint smile floating on his face. It made people feel that their hearts were fluttering, and they couldn't help but stare at him.

  Jiang only took a glance, then forced herself to look away. In her heart, she silently muttered to herself, "Husband has been gentle and considerate towards me, I mustn't have any thoughts that would wrong him..."

  Wei Taiyi finished writing the prescription, put down his brush and paper, and looked up: "This is the prescription. According to the prescription, take the medicine and decoct it with three bowls of water into one bowl of medicinal soup. Take it three times a day, and drink it continuously for three months. There are no rare or precious ingredients in this prescription, so you can get the medicine at any pharmacy."

  He said, and ordered Medicine Boy Tian Dong: "Go to that cabinet over there, bring a bottle of eye ointment."

  Tian Dong responded with a sound, and familiarly walked to the edge of the cabinet, taking out a porcelain bottle from the innermost part.

  The porcelain bottle was milky white with a wide mouth and round belly. Inside it was the medicinal ointment personally prepared by Wei Taigong himself.

  Wei Taiyi naturally wouldn't advertise anything. But Yao Tong Tian Dong couldn't help but say a few more words: "This ointment is specially for external use on the eyes, clearing the mind and brightening the eyes, with excellent efficacy. Just this one bottle of ointment, people outside would pay hundreds of taels of silver to buy it..."

  "Talk too much!"

  Wei Taiyi slightly furrowed his brow, stopping Tian Dong's boastful behavior: "The efficacy of the medicine is what matters most. If it doesn't match the symptoms, using it will be pointless. Some people rely on their wealth and recklessly buy expensive medicines to use randomly, what's the benefit in that?"

  Tian Dong was scolded a few times and didn't dare speak again. He brought over the prescription and ointment.

  Bai Yu carefully took over the ointment and the thin prescription paper.

  Ling Jingxian stepped forward, bowed politely and said: "Thank you, Doctor Wei, for treating Ah Xiao. I am deeply grateful. May I ask, how much is the consultation fee for each visit?"

  Tan Yinzhi is a bit tacky.

  However, since you are here for medical treatment, this diagnostic fee is absolutely unavoidable.

  Wei Taiyi did not expect Ling Jingxu to ask such a direct question.

  There are not a few young women who come to the Hui Chun Tang. Most of them, like Miss Liu San, have "a drunken warmth that is not in wine". There are also a small number of noblewomen who cannot be refused at the door, such as the Fu Min princess waiting in the outer hall. Occasionally, there will also be women suffering from incurable diseases coming to seek medical treatment...

  No matter what she's thinking, when a woman sees him, she can't help but put on her best face. The handling of money and the like is left to the housekeeper, as if mentioning silver would lower one's status and seem common.

  Miss Ling is unusually straightforward in her words and actions.

  "Miss Ling has come all the way to Hui Chun Tang to seek medical treatment, hasn't she heard that I never accept consultation fees?"

  Wei Taiyi smiled gently, his voice warm and pleasant: "Take the prescription to the outer hall, buying medicinal materials requires spending money. The silver for that bottle of ointment can also be given to the shopkeeper. I diagnose patients, take their pulse, administer acupuncture, and write prescriptions without ever collecting a consultation fee."

  After inquiring about so many things, I actually missed this one thing.

  No wonder it has such a good reputation.

  In the capital, any famous doctor with some reputation charges high medical fees. Ordinary common people can't afford to invite a famous doctor when they fall ill, at most they go to a pharmacy and ask the resident doctor to take a look and write a prescription.

  The reputation of Wei the Imperial Physician far surpassed that of those so-called famous doctors, yet he didn't charge a single penny for his diagnoses. The medicinal materials in Huichuntang were also much cheaper than those in other pharmacies. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was a living Bodhisattva on earth.

  For Wei Taigong, ordinary gold and silver were indeed nothing.

  He is the emperor's personal physician and has a sister who is a favored concubine in the palace. There are countless people trying to curry favor with him openly or secretly, so how could he possibly look down on gold and silver?

  Ling Jing's heart was filled with gratitude, and she solemnly expressed her thanks: "No matter what, I must thank Doctor Wei. From now on, if Doctor Wei has any errands, this humble girl will do her best to accomplish them without hesitation or refusal."

  Wei the Imperial Physician smiled faintly: "Miss Ling, it's too early to thank me now. Whether Young Master Ling's eye disease can be cured depends on his luck. Moreover, I have studied medicine for many years and should naturally treat illnesses and save people, without any intention of seeking gratitude or reward."

  Is this Wei Taifu truly compassionate and selfless, or is she duplicitous with ulterior motives?

  It really can't be seen for the time being.

  Anyway, his medical skills are indeed as brilliant as rumored.

  As long as he can cure Ah Xiao's eyes, whether he is a truly refined and elegant person or a profound thinker with a contradictory inside and outside, what does it matter?
