Mrs. Xu had a fit in the room and wanted to tear Shen Tianshu apart with her hands.
But early the next morning, Shen Tianshu, with the tacit consent of Mrs. Shen, went out to visit Mrs. Guo at Guo's house.
Although the Guo family is rich and has always supported Shen Zhonglei, they are a merchant family. It is not convenient for Shen Zhonglei or the Xu family to visit or send gifts.
Not only does this appear to be demeaning, but if word spreads, it may be stigmatized as collusion between government and businessmen.
But Shen Tianshu is different. Firstly, she is a junior, secondly, she is just a girl, and thirdly, she has a very good relationship with Guo Xintong.
For her to come forward to find Guo Xintong and visit Mrs. Guo by the way can not only show the concern of the Shen family, but also avoid arousing suspicion and misunderstanding.
After Shen Tianshu went out, he went straight to the house on Xin'an Street. He changed his clothes and carriage, then Gao Qingsong drove him and took Gao Xiuer to Guo's house for follow-up consultation.
After Mrs. Guo took the medicine yesterday, she had already seen effects before it got dark.
Although the pain in the chest and diaphragm is still swollen, the feeling of dry mouth and tongue has been eliminated, and there is no need to hesitate between drinking water to quench thirst and swelling all over the body. I don’t know what to choose.
When Mr. Guo saw that one dose was effective, his attitude towards Shen Tianshu changed immediately.
"Ms. Tong, please come to the house. My mother took the medicine you prescribed yesterday and the effect is very good. However, the pain in the chest and abdomen, and the swelling all over the body, I don't know when will it get better?"
As soon as Shen Tianshu entered the room, he saw Ji Hanwei and Mr. Guo Si standing in the corner of the room.
Shen Tianshu pretended not to see it, and the two people wisely did not come forward to say hello.
"Yesterday, after taking medicine, one dose of medicine restored the function of the spleen, strengthened the yang energy, and naturally quenched thirst. Since it can be effective in one dose, it means that the medicine is suitable for the symptoms, but it only treats the symptoms." Shen Tianshu said to Mr. Guo, "Come and give it to me today. People return for follow-up visits to treat the root cause.”
She was already familiar with Mrs. Guo's condition and had already thought about the prescription she needed to take today. However, she still did not care. After diagnosing Mrs. Guo's pulse carefully, she asked about the situation after taking the medicine last night. Pen, write out a prescription and give it to Mr. Guo.
"For those who suffer from internal pain caused by excessive drinking, take Shizao Decoction, half a penny for each dose. Stop taking the medicine when it feels smooth. Drink millet porridge daily to nourish it, and you will be cured soon."
"Ten jujube soup?" Ji Hanwei, who was standing in the corner without saying a word, caught the word with sharp ears and immediately changed her face.
Mr. Guo Si could eat a hundred beans without feeling the fishy smell, so he asked in an arrogant tone: "Doctor Ji, what's wrong with this ten-date soup? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Mrs. Tong to use this medicine." Ji Hanwei quickly waved her hands to express that she had no objection.
But after Shen Tianshu left, Mr. Guo Si thought more and more that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to ask Ji Hanwei for questioning.
"Fourth Master Guo, this is Madam Tong's prescription. Don't ask me. I was already criticized yesterday. If I say anything more today, it will probably injure my mentor even more."
"Dr. Ji, doctors are kind-hearted, so please do your best, otherwise you will only say half of what you said, which will make me feel anxious about everything!"
"Since Madam Guo trusts Mrs. Tong, and the medicine she prescribed yesterday is indeed effective in one dose, I see that there is no need for me here. I am planning to say goodbye to you and leave for Changsha immediately!"
"Don't!" Mr. Guo Si said anxiously, "Doctor Ji, please be considerate. It is my mother who is ill in bed now. I really don't dare to take any risks!"
Ji Hanwei stopped when he heard this, hesitated for a moment and said: "In that case, I will only talk to you privately.
"Everyone who practices medicine knows that in Shizao Decoction, the three herbs of Daphne, Kansui, and Euphorbia are toxins that are hard and cold, and are most likely to damage people's vitality.
"Even if you use jujube decoction to slow down the serious poison, the whole medicine is still a strong medicine that you drink with water.
"Not to mention me, even my master wouldn't dare to use it easily, not to mention that at Mrs. Guo's age, it is really dangerous!
"But Madam Tong, maybe she is a brave artist. From yesterday to today, her medication has been quite good..."
Ji Hanwei thought about it for a moment before saying, "It's quite bold."
"What's so bold? I think she's just young and frivolous. I don't know, but she's using my mother to practice!" Mr. Guo Si was told by Ji Hanwei that cold sweat broke out on his back. "I'll talk to my elder brother!"
But Ji Hanwei stopped him and said: "Fourth Master Guo, let's forget it. Didn't I just say it? I am only saying this to you. If others come to ask, I will never admit it.
"Besides, didn't you stop me yesterday? The old lady believes her, and your uncle obeys the old lady in everything. If you say these words now, not only will you still get nothing, but you will put me on the line. It’s grilled.”
Mr. Guo Si knew that what Ji Hanwei said was reasonable and said anxiously: "What should we do?"
After walking around in place for a few times, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said to Ji Hanwei: "Doctor Ji, don't leave in a hurry. We'll stay for a few more days. I'll take a step in advance. I apologize for my poor greeting."
"Fourth Master Guo, what are you going to do?"
Master Guo Si raised his hand and waved, without stopping, he quickly disappeared from Ji Hanwei's sight and went straight to the kitchen.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he didn't rush in. He squatted at the door for a while. When he saw a boy coming back with a bag of medicine wrapped in paper, he coughed and walked out.
"Fourth Master!" The young man stopped hurriedly when he saw him, saluted and said hello.
Mr. Guo Si frowned and said, "Did you go out to play again? How come it takes so long to grab some medicine? I've been waiting here for you for a long time!"
"Hey, Fourth Master, I don't dare to accuse the little one casually. This is medicine for the old lady. The little one dares to delay, let alone play in the middle. I wish I could trot all the way back and forth..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and bring me the medicine. You can do whatever you need to do!" Mr. Guo Si grabbed the medicine bag from the boy's hand and turned around and entered the kitchen.
The medicine was given to Mr. Guo Si, so the boy had nothing to worry about. Although the four Mr. Guo family had different temperaments and temperaments, their filial piety towards the old lady was all the same, and no one was even half worse than the other.
After Mr. Guo Si entered the door, he called the maid in charge of boiling medicine aside, found a packet of jujubes and gave it to her, saying: "Hurry up and make ten jujube soup."
After sending the maid away, Mr. Guo Si picked up the box on the table beside him, opened several packets of medicine, weighed them all, took out half of the medicine, and then repackaged it according to the folds.
Looking at the packages of medicine on the table that he had "tampered with", Mr. Guo Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they were all halved, there should be no problem.
As a person of his age, no matter how hard he can withstand the attack of strong medicine, it is better to take it step by step.
