Chapter 18
On the third day, Sima Lantai came for a follow-up visit.
At that time, the sky was bright, the breeze was soft, and the birds were singing melodiously, which made people feel lighter.
The Bai family waited at the door early again. In the middle of the night yesterday, Uncle Bai vomited blood and breathed smoothly. He slept more than once on the pillow, but did not get worse when he woke up.
I got up early in the morning and ate some porridge and bait, and asked the servants to bring some pieces of ancient jade and put it on the bedside to enjoy it for half an hour.
These things were originally his beloved things, but since he was seriously ill, he lost his mind and left them aside for a long time.
People who have been sick for a long time will not only lose their bodies but also get tired of their minds. Over time, their temperament will change drastically.
Although this change is subtle, it is like a happy descent from the sky for the Bai family.
You know, Mr. Bai is the backbone of the Bai family. Because he is seriously ill, the business of the Bai family is no longer as good as in previous years.
"It can be seen that everything is about fate," Ge sighed: "Take a doctor's fate."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Lantai is a sincere gentleman. He said that he could cure it, not to mention that the elder brother has improved now." Mr. Bai was also very happy.
When the old man of the Bai family passed away, he was not yet an adult, and it was his brother who pulled him into adulthood. Therefore, the two brothers were particularly close, unlike some families who fought against each other and fought openly and secretly for a little property.
Therefore, when the Bai family saw Sima Lantai again, it was like seeing the true body of a Bodhisattva who saved the world, and they wanted to kneel down.
"Young Master is such a magic trick. My elder brother has only used medicine for three days and can now lie down and sleep." Mr. Bai said happily.
"The master spitted blood last night. I wonder if it was going to be important?" Ge asked carefully.
"It's okay, it's blood stasis, it's better to vomit it out." Sima Lantai said.
Bai Yuanwai's symptoms after taking the medicine were all expected by Sima Lantai. His lung meridian was damaged and blocked. If he did not vomit out blood, his lung qi would still be blocked.
Only when the qi and meridians are unobstructed can they recover slowly.
After hearing what he said, the Bai family became more relieved.
When I went in to see Bai Shicheng again, my spirits were obviously much better than three days ago, but I still had asthma and coughed twice from time to time.
When he saw Sima Lantai, he was about to get out of bed, but he was stopped by the other party.
"Young Master Lantai, you are really a recreation of your gratitude to me," Bai Shicheng's gratitude was beyond words. People who have been sick for a long time will never be false. He really wanted to offer Sima Lantai, so he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the doctors before: "If those quack doctors were allowed to treat me indiscriminately, I'm afraid that this life would have already gone to the West."
"Official Bai doesn't need to blame the doctors before. After all, your condition is indeed special. Although they have not treated the right symptoms, they have provided me with reference. Otherwise, I will not be able to easily determine the cause of your disease." Sima Lantai spoke for the doctors before, which made the Bai family admire his virtue even more.
"Yes, yes, yes, the young master is open-minded and has seen it in the villain." Bai Shicheng said self-deprecatingly.
"Please use tea for Master Lantai." Ge poured a cup of tea with his own hands to Sima Lantai.
"No need, I'd better take the pulse first." Sima Lantai is a person who is impatient with confusion. He doesn't drink tea or snacks when he sees a doctor, and never stays after seeing a doctor.
With such a person, no one dares to get close to him.
Sima Lantai was at ease with this. He has never liked to be too close to others since he was a child, and always looked noble and noble like he was keeping others from afar.
After treating Bai Shicheng's pulse again, Sima Lantai left the medicine for seven days and said: "Bai Yuanwai's lung meridian has been opened now. He will recover after taking these medicines for about three months. I will come back again."
"In your opinion, how should we adjust our diet?" Ge asked hurriedly.
"You should eat light food, don't eat anything that has been nourished, but you should not eat something cold. The body of the emperor is already extremely weak, and both cannot withstand it." Sima Lantai stood up and said, "Drinking some eel soup also makes it something that nourishes lung qi."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the Bai family said in a round of voices, feeling that no matter how many words they say, they still cannot express their gratitude thoroughly.
Mr. Bai had already granted 100 taels of gold as a medical treatment, and Sima Lantai ignored these things. He had not short of money since childhood, so he never cared about the amount of medical treatment.
All these trivial matters were all under Mo Tongguan. The young master returned to Beijing for more than a month and had collected tens of thousands of taels of silver for just the diagnosis.
Mo Tong asked for instructions, and settled the account at Baochang Silver and deposited all the medical money obtained by the young master.
Although the young master wanted to open a clinic, the Sima family had a wealthy family, with many fields on the suburbs and shops on the streets, so there was no need to spend money to buy a place.
What's more, the place chosen by the young master was brought by his wife with her dowry, which was considered the property of the young master's grandfather's family.
There was originally a house there, but it was changed and it didn't cost much.
People say that practicing medicine is difficult to make a fortune, but Sima Lantai is not the case.
Anyone who seeks him for treatment is either extremely ill or has difficult and complicated diseases, and he dares not work on common diseases that come and go.
Who made him very high-ranking and was a disciple of Xianyuan Mountain?
As for the amount of the medical fee, it depends on the patient's voluntary, but the more he does not fight, the more people are afraid of giving less, especially those high-ranking officials and nobles, who are not vague at all to pay for their life-saving money.
After being diagnosed and treated by Sima Lantai, Bai Yuanwai gradually recovered after a few months. Although he could not recover as strong as before he was sick, he could still save his life. As long as he was not very tired, he looked no different from ordinary people.
After Sima Lantai left the Bai family, he took a carriage and went back to his mansion.
It just happened that this day was the Gangzeng, the God of Flowers.
There were so many ladies on the street, they all dressed up deliberately, tied ribbons, velvets and other objects to the trees, and made a wish in a low voice, mostly for marrying a daughter like a wishful husband, and asked the flower god to take her to the god to tell her.
Someone recognized Sima Lantai's carriage and was immediately overjoyed.
"It's the carriage of the young master Lantai!"
"What a pity, today is not riding a horse, otherwise I would have met you."
"Don't you read it wrong?"
"No, the one who drove the train was his book boy. If I admit my mistake, I will give you these eyes."
Although the girls were shy, they could not resist their admiration for the young master of Lantai and threw the flowers in their hands into the car one by one.
Mo Tong was quite helpless, but fortunately, a group of officers and soldiers came over and he took the opportunity to hide.
The carriage turned into Baixian Lane, and someone rushed forward to say hello. Mo Tong didn't recognize him at first sight, thinking that he was looking for his son to see him again.
Who would have thought that the other party said: "The villain is the servant of Hai Mansion, and it was our master who sent him an invitation to the young master."
As he said that, he handed over a gold stamping invitation.
It turns out that this person is Hai Qingqiu's subordinate.
Although Mo Tong received the invitation, he thought that the young master would never go.
