Zhang Qiuying responded while walking, "Okay, it's already late today. I have to cook when I get back later. I'll go find the landlord tomorrow morning and ask, and try to keep the rent down to three taels of silver a year." .”
Chu Yue nodded, "Okay."
When he returned to the medical clinic, Lu Dagui happened to move the medicinal materials from the mule cart to the medical clinic.
Because Miaomiao was asleep in her arms, Zhang Qiuying did not dare to stay outside longer, so she went directly to the backyard with her in her arms.
It's still cold today, so I have to put the child on the kang and cover him with a quilt to avoid catching a cold.
"Brother Dagui, how is the situation over there in the county?" Chu Yue asked standing at the door.
Lu Dagui replied while moving the goods, "It's not better than our town."
Chu Yue frowned, "How do you say that?"
Lu Dagui raised his hand and swept back a small strand of hair from his face, "There are still many people who are sick over there. Nanping Town, our medical center, has taken measures early to prevent the epidemic from spreading. It was brought under control in a short period of time, the county has a large population, and I heard that the previous deaths were all carried out one by one. Although it is not that serious now, the disease is still spreading."
In fact, before Chu Yue's Xingyue Medical Clinic opened, people died every day in the town, and there were quite a lot of them. This situation was only relieved after Chu Yue started applying medicine.
"How is my husband? He is not affected, right?"
"I see that he seems fine. Although the place he lives in is a bit old, it is clean and spacious. He takes good care of himself, so there is no need to worry." Lu Dagui said with relief.
Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Brother Dagui, please unload the goods quickly and take a rest. It's time to eat later."
"Hey, okay."
Lu Dagui said, speeding up.
Chu Yue walked into the hospital and saw a young lady sitting next to the empty consulting table. However, the consulting table was covered by a thin curtain, so she couldn't see her true figure and appearance.
Seeing Chu Yue enter the door, the maid beside her hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes.
"Miss, it seems that Doctor Chu is back."
The young lady hurriedly covered her cheek and said, "Hurry up and call someone."
The maid was blessed and looked at Chu Yue, "Is this Doctor Chu?"
"Yes." Chu Yue asked Chu Wenzhu to go to Lu Yufang's place, and then walked to the consultation table, "Do you two want to see a doctor?"
The maid nodded slightly and said, "My young lady has had severe toothache in the past two days. I would like to ask Dr. Chu to take a look at it."
Chu Yue sat down opposite the young lady. The young lady was quite pretty. Perhaps because of toothache, she was covering her cheek with one hand and had a painful expression on her face.
"Have you ever seen another doctor before?"
The woman covered her cheek and said, "I looked for it, but it didn't take long before the pain returned, so I came to Dr. Chu."
"Let me take a look." Chu Yue asked the woman to put her palm down and found that one of her cheeks had swollen. She took a clean bamboo stick and checked her teeth before saying, "The gums are red and swollen caused by dental caries. , the tip of the tongue is still a little red, has the girl been upset recently?"
The girl covered her cheek with her hand again, "The doctor is right, I wonder how I can treat my tooth?"
While Chu Yue was writing something on the paper in front of her, she said, "Boil water with lotus seeds, wolfberry seeds and rock sugar to drink. One course of treatment every seven days. Eat less sweets. After each meal, it is best to rinse your mouth with salt water to keep it healthy." Keep your mouth clean.”
"Doctor, is there any good way to relieve pain? My lady's tooth hurts so much that she hasn't slept well in the past two days." asked the maid on the side.
Chu Yue looked at her, "Add white wine to the boiled pepper water, cool it, filter out the pepper and seal it. When you have a toothache, you can dip it in a clean cotton cloth and put it on the toothache area and bite it tightly. It will quickly relieve the pain. role."
She said, handing the prescribed medicine to the maid.
"It's not a big problem, but you have to be careful not to eat too many sweets on weekdays."
The maid took the prescription from Chu Yue.
"Thank you, Doctor Chu."
The two went to the counter to get medicine, paid the bill and left.
Lu Yufang looked at the backs of the two of them, "Yueyue, they have been waiting here for you for a long time. It's not a big problem. Dr. Zhu can also cure it. Why do they have to wait for you to come?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "Most ladies in the boudoir are delicate. Maybe they feel embarrassed for male doctors to see patients."
Lu Yufang was noncommittal, "Then she was sick in the past, so didn't she have to be looked at by someone?"
"Who knows? It's not a troublesome disease after all. Just wait for me and I'll take a look at it. You can't drive people out." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she took Chu Wenzhu upstairs to read.
Just after dinner, the boy from Xu Jiya shop came to Chu Yue.
"Doctor Chu, I asked you about the courtyard matter. The doctor didn't agree or object. He just asked you to go to the courtyard to talk about it tomorrow."
After hearing this, Chu Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"Hey, okay, it's getting late, I'll go back first." Perhaps because he knew Chu Yue's identity, the boy's attitude was very good.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Slow down."
After seeing the boy off, Chu Yue, Lu Yufang and Chu Wenzhu got on the mule cart and went home.
When he got home, it was dawn. Lu Dagui put away the mule cart, fed the mules, and then went home with Tiedan.
"Mom, come with me to the town tomorrow." Chu Yue came to Yun Cuihe's side.
Yun Cuihe stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yue hugged her arm, "Isn't Xingping Xing'an going to the town to study? I thought, let's just open the medical clinic in the town and buy a yard to live in, so as to save the trouble of running back and forth. .”
Yun Cuihe's eyes were solemn.
"The yards in this town aren't cheap, are they? Has Yueyue seen the right one?"
Chu Yue nodded.
"In the past two days, when I asked Sister Qiuying to look for a workshop for me, she took a look at a courtyard. It was only a quarter of an hour away from Nanping Academy and not far from the hospital. The courtyard used to be a teaching place at Nanping Academy. My husband lived in the house, and now he wanted to sell it. The price was 428 taels of silver. I asked the guy at the dental shop to lower the price to 350 taels for me. They didn’t agree or object, so they told me to explain. I went to have an interview with my son, and I thought, if I really want to buy it, I have to have it checked by my mother."
After hearing this, Yun Cuihe sighed, "I don't think well of the yard thing either."
Chu Yue rested her head on Yun Cuihe's arm, "It doesn't matter if you don't see it well, I have more confidence with my mother by my side, right?"
Yun Cuihe patted Chu Yue's hand lovingly.
"Okay, then our whole family will take a look tomorrow." She said, looking at Chu Yue, "By the way, why is Mrs. Zhang still looking for a workshop for you? Is she busy with other things? "
