When the women were talking about these things, Yang Ruoqing happened to be present.
We can't blame women for being so strange. In fact, medicine in this era is backward. Diseases like wind and cold are nothing in modern times. It will be nothing if you hang them with normal saline for a few days.
But in ancient times, when there were no antibiotics such as penicillin and amoxicillin, relying solely on those herbs to treat the symptoms and root causes was, to be honest, like boiling a frog in warm water.
Therefore, once many people, especially poor people, are infected with wind-chill, their survival rate is extremely low.
Even some scholars with good family backgrounds would die in many cases if they left their hometowns to go to the capital to take exams and were not accustomed to the local environment in a foreign country, even if they had money to buy medicine for treatment.
So it's understandable that everyone is worried about the third girl.
"Don't worry, use the best medicine to treat her, and the three girls will be fine." Yang Ruoqing told the women.
Yu Bamei and the others nodded: "Yes, use the best medicine to treat it. We are no longer the old Yang family who had to think twice about buying medicine. If Fourth Uncle doesn't have enough money, Yongjin and I will definitely chip in."
Naturally, Sun and Bao Suyun had the same idea. The third girl is such a good girl. She is supporting almost half of the fourth bedroom.
Especially during the more than a year since Mr. Liu was away, the three girls were taking care of all the human relations in the old Yang family. If they were unsure about something, they would take the initiative to come over and discuss ideas with Mr. Sun and Bao Suyun. So Good girl, you guys can't just watch her die of illness.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at everyone. In fact, the 'best medicine' she mentioned was not the most expensive herbal medicine as they understood it.
This time she came back from the capital and brought back a lot of things to make gifts for everyone.
But there was one thing that she got from a Yajili merchant at a high price.
That Yajili businessman should be a very well-connected big businessman in Yajili, and he is related to the capable academic figures in Yajili's upper class society.
For some special reasons, he offended the powerful people in Yajili, so he was exiled and traveled across the ocean to Daqi.
He brought a lot of good things.
The noble ladies in the capital of Daqi rushed to buy Western goods from Yajili merchants.
But Yang Ruoqing fell in love with the three tubes of medicine he brought.
In order to buy those three tubes of medicine, she spent a lot of brains and a huge sum of money to buy them.
When the two parties were trading, she had no one else with her, only Liu Xueyun, a confidant.
She still remembered that Liu Xueyun was holding the box containing three tubes of medicine in both hands, carefully, for fear of bumping into it.
In his own words, the things in this box are more valuable than his life, and his life is far from worth that much money.
But at the same time, Liu Xueyun was also secretly curious about the three tubes of medicine in the box. She didn't know what kind of miraculous medicine could make her calm and rational. She was low-key and never luxurious and spent a lot of money.
Yang Ruoqing never took the initiative to say anything, so Liu Xueyun never inquired. This was a tacit understanding between the two.
"Qing'er, why don't we go to town tomorrow to see the three girls?" Sun suddenly suggested.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I can't go tomorrow. I made an appointment with Duo'er two days ago to visit Jiaojiao at her house. The pediatrician from the county still lives at Xiang's house."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's time to go over to Jiaojiao to see the situation."
Bao Suyun and Yu Bamei also knew that Xiaoduo's daughter was weak and had diarrhea from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month. The cattle dealer broke her leg and was not in the mood for the New Year.
"Third sister-in-law, why don't we go to the town to see the third girl? You shouldn't go. You have a lot of things to do, and you have endless worries." Bao Suyun felt sorry for Mrs. Sun and advised.
Mrs. Sun sighed: "Yes, I really can't finish worrying about it. Since Qing'er is going to Duo'er's place, I will go there in two days. If I go too much, I won't be able to help. Seeing Jiaojiao I feel distressed again, and Duo'er has to comfort me in turn. I'm putting a burden on Duo'er, so I'd better not go to Xiang's house, and go to town with you to see the third girl, and give your fourth sister-in-law a few words of comfort."
The next day, Mrs. Sun and the other women made an appointment to go to the town to visit the doctor and brought a lot of supplements.
Yang Ruoqing made an appointment with Xiaohua to go to Xiangjiazhuang together. Xiaoan drove them there and did not let Luo Fengtang and Daan do it.
As for the reasons, there are two.
Luo Fengtang was sent by Yang Ruoqing to prepare New Year's gifts at home. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the couple planned to take Luo Baobao to Zuo's family in Huguang County to celebrate the New Year and spend the Lantern Festival with Mrs. Zuo there.
Luo Baobao was thinking about his little friend Zuo Jingling and wanted to go there early, so Luo Fengtang stayed at home to pack his things.
As for Da'an, he received an invitation from his classmates in Qing'an County and went to a small gathering.
So, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua took Luo Baobao, Feng'er, and Fuwa to Xiang's house.
The pediatrician lives in the guest room of the Xiang family. He was invited by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang from Wanghai County. Naturally, they know the relationship between the little baby Jiaojiao and the Protector General and his wife, so the diagnosis process is not sloppy at all, even if it is... The medicine is prepared by myself.
Of course, the Protector General and his wife did not treat him badly. They gave him fifteen taels of silver before leaving for the doctor, and promised to give him another fifteen taels of silver after the child recovered.
From then on, every other month, the pediatrician would take the initiative to come to Xiangjiazhuang for follow-up consultation with Jiaojiao. Each follow-up consultation was worth five taels of hard-earned money.
In addition, if there is something wrong with children such as Luo Baobao, Feng'er, and Fuwa that the village doctor cannot handle, he will come immediately to see the doctor as long as they send a message.
The pediatrician is not stupid. Even if he doesn't pay, the General Protector and his wife ask him to come for consultation by name. This is also a sign of trust and praise for him.
With the support of the Protector General and his wife, the name of his medical clinic will naturally become more famous, and he will also find a backer for himself.
What's more, I still have money to pay for a medical visit. Just for this medical visit, I will get thirty taels of silver, and for follow-up visits every month, I will get five taels of silver. Calculating like this, by the end of this year, I will have seventy or eighty taels of silver on hand. Oh my god. You can buy a two-story shop with a small backyard on a good street in Wanghai County.
With a two-story shop with a small backyard, my son will be more confident in marrying a wife in the future.
Therefore, when he saw Yang Ruoqing coming to Xiang's house, the pediatrician hurriedly came to her and reported everything about Jiaojiao's condition in the past few days.
No matter how big or small, not a single word is missed.
Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes and listened, feeling secretly satisfied. It was obvious that the doctor had really put his thought into this.
"Very good, you are interested." Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly at the doctor and waved her hand.
The pediatrician withdrew knowingly, and only three sisters, Yang Ruoqing, Xiaohua and Xiaoduo, were left in the room.
Yang Ruoqing came to the cradle and looked at Jiaojiao. She was relieved when she saw that the child's cheeks were a little rosier.
Duo'er looked at the direction in which the pediatrician was leaving and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, this doctor really has a lot of skills. Since he came to our house, Jiaojiao's condition has improved day by day. Shengnan and I are very happy. He said that this doctor is a living Bodhisattva."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Jiaojiao will get better day by day. By the way, how is your uncle's leg recovering?"
