Chapter 1059: Chapter 138: Gaining Fame 3
Manbao said, "It’s really scary, why don’t we talk about cases of weak essence and difficulty in bearing children? It just so happens..."
The foreheads of the three Imperial Doctors were immediately covered in cold sweat, and Imperial Doctor Zheng quickly interrupted her, "No, let’s discuss the epidemic in detail instead."
Manbao’s eyes lit up, "Do you have good prescriptions?"
She didn’t think there were good prescriptions for the epidemic, so she wanted to discuss something else. It just so happened she had a case of infertility at hand.
Doctor Ding and the others always disliked discussing this case with her; she thought the doctors from the Imperial Hospital should have more profound medical skills and might know something.
But looking at their reactions now, it seemed they were not very fond of this type of case either.
Really, they say women like to conceal their illnesses from doctors, but from what she could see, men were even more reluctant than women.
Old Madam Su looked at Manbao, did not leave, and ordered someone to bring a chair so she could sit beside them and listen to their conversation.
All three Imperial Doctors were sweating profusely. Manbao was writing something without noticing; she pulled out a piece of paper and said, "I remember seeing a recipe for the epidemic in a medical book. Take a look and see if it’s usable."
Manbao wrote down the prescription for them to see.
Imperial Doctor Zheng and the others reluctantly focused their minds back on the medical discussion, but they all made excuses and left in less than half an hour.
Manbao looked regretfully at their retreating figures; it was a pity, they had only discussed for a morning.
Old Madam Su then smiled and sat next to Manbao, lifting her eyelid to glance at the maid serving beside her.
The maid bowed and led the other girls away.
Manbao turned her head to look at them, then raised her head to look at Old Madam Su.
Old Madam Su smiled at her, lowering her voice to ask, "Can Young Doctor Zhou also treat infertility?"
Manbao considered her words, "If the age is too old, it’s difficult to treat. Doesn’t State Duke Pi already have a son?"
Old Madam Su, "... I’m not talking about my old man, I’m talking about a young person in his twenties."
Manbao, "Young Lord? He’s fine, right? Not considered infertile. Medication shouldn’t be taken recklessly."
Old Madam Su, "... Someone almost his age, just two years younger." Why was it always someone from her family?
Manbao was curious to know who it was, but since it was the patient’s privacy, she wasn’t supposed to probe deeply. So she cautiously said, "This needs to be diagnosed after seeing the patient."
Old Madam Su was frustrated, "I thought Young Doctor Zhou was experienced."
"Still accumulating experience at the moment, should have some in three to five months."
Old Madam Su perked up and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Manbao felt she shouldn’t reveal the patient’s privacy, so she only said, "I have an infertility case on hand, so I wanted to consult with Imperial Doctor Zheng and others."
"Is it a male issue?"
Manbao nodded.
Old Madam Su sighed in relief, waving her hand, "No need to ask Imperial Doctor Zheng and them anymore, they’re useless."
Manbao’s eyes widened.
Realizing what she’d said, Old Madam Su lightly coughed and added, "I mean, they’re not adept in this area."
Manbao thoughtfully said, "Oh, that’s really a pity." It seemed the patient Old Madam Su was inquiring about had been seen by Imperial Doctor Zheng and his colleagues. What a shame.
Old Madam Su mysteriously asked her, "Are you confident you can cure your case?"
"I only have seventy percent confidence," Manbao said, "and this cannot be rushed."
Old Madam Su nodded thoughtfully.
Manbao stayed in the Su residence until the evening and spoke before leaving, "I will be working in the pharmacy tomorrow and won’t be coming over."
Old Madam Su quickly asked, "But my son..."
"Don’t worry, Imperial Doctor Zheng and the others are here. Everything will be fine," Manbao replied, then looked at Imperial Doctor Zheng and said, "Imperial Doctor Zheng, that medical book you mentioned..."
"Don’t worry, Young Doctor Zhou," the doctor replied. "I’ll talk to my elder brother tonight and bring it to you tomorrow."
Manbao nodded happily.
Imperial Doctor Zheng said somewhat apologetically, "Young Doctor Zhou, the medical book is part of my family’s collection, and I dare not keep it out for long, so I can only lend it to you for three days."
Manbao patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry, I will definitely return it in three days."
Manbao happily said her goodbyes, planning to ask Bai Shan and Bai Erlang for help to take turns with her in copying the book the next day.
Once again, the steward of the Su residence personally escorted Manbao home, this time bringing generous gifts, along with a tray of silver.
The silver was really, particularly white.
Manbao couldn’t help but glance at it repeatedly. After the servant from the Su residence left, she immediately squatted down to look at the neatly arranged ingots on the tray.
Each ingot was ten taels, five in a row, three rows in total.
Although all the silver ingots were more or less the same, she felt that this time the silver was exceptionally white and beautiful.
She held an ingot, caressing it over and over, her face blossoming into a smile.
Bai Shan couldn’t help but smile and squint his eyes when he saw it, and Mr. Zhuang found it distressing to his eyesight, clearing his throat loudly.
Manbao immediately stood up with the silver ingot in her arms, standing stiffly as she addressed Mr. Zhuang, "Good day, sir!"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and asked, "Is this your medical fee?"
"Yes," Manbao nodded. "I mentioned that I am going to sit in Jishi Hall tomorrow."
Mr. Zhuang nodded in acknowledgment.
"We’re back!" Zhou Wulang, leading his brothers and nephews and nieces, rushed in. They were momentarily startled by the items in the courtyard and focused on the silver ingots on the table tray, asking, "What are these?"
While Manbao clutched the silver ingots from the tray to her chest, she explained, "It’s a token of gratitude from a patient’s family. Fifth Brother, why are all of you back? Isn’t the shop open tonight?"
Zhou Wulang peered at the ingots she could barely hold in her arms and said, "Manbao, so you’ve really become a miracle doctor?"
Manbao barely managing to hold the ingots, turned to look at him. "Miracle doctor?"
"You might not know yet, but everyone today has been saying that a little miracle doctor has appeared in the capital, operating from Jishi Hall. Someone whose belly was ruptured could be stitched back, someone whose blood was depleted could have a blood transfusion, bringing back the dead."
Zhou Lijun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, little aunt, it’s being said everywhere that you are a miracle doctor. Fifth Uncle said we’d come back to see you tonight and rest for the evening."
Manbao immediately turned to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan shook his head, "I didn’t let them spread that kind of talk. When I explained it to them, I made sure everything was realistic."
Bai Shan asked Zhou Wulang, "Was it a group of kids spreading this?"
"No, it wasn’t. It was a bunch of grown men, extremely animated as they talked during their meal. They said it has spread throughout the inner city. And some women too," Zhou Wulang looked at Manbao and Bai Shan. "Could this turn into a problem?"
Manbao naturally felt it was troublesome, although she desired for her reputation to spread. But that was too fabricated.
A ruptured belly indeed might be stitched up, but replenishing depleted blood wouldn’t help. Most importantly, one couldn’t really bring someone back from the dead!
