Jiang Shi's recovery was surprisingly amazing. Gu Jiao was ready to give him one last surgery, which was a minor one, after which he could recuperate without having to go under the blade again.
As soon as Gu Jiao put on her sterile gloves, Yu Qinwangfei came to the door of the medical hall with her son.
In order to conceal her identity, Yu Qinwangfei put on the dress of an ordinary noblewoman and only two or three beaded hairpins on her head, but even so, those two or three were already extremely valuable in the eyes of the common people.
Second Owner received her personally.
Second Owner was very perceptive. This lady had a ruddy complexion and didn’t look ill at all. Instead, the child who looked about ten years old in her arms was pale and coughing from time to time.
He said, "Excuse me, are you here to have this little young master treated?"
The attendant stepped forward and stopped between Second Owner and his master.
Since when were ordinary people qualified to speak to the Wangfei of the State of Liang?
The status of the State of Liang was higher than that of the State of Zhao, and the State of Liang's Wangfei was naturally more valuable than the Wangfei of the State of Zhao.
Not to mention a small owner of a medical hall, even an official of the imperial court might not be qualified to speak to his own Wangfei.
"Mother..." Ming’er felt so uncomfortable that she pulled Yu Qinwangfei's sleeve and leaned softly against her arms.
Yu Qinwangfei couldn’t be bothered to talk to Second Owner for a moment as she touched her son's forehead soothingly, "Don't be afraid, we have arrived at the medical hall, soon there will be a physician to cure you."
Second Owner rubbed his nose in difficulty. It seemed that the other party wasn’t someone easy to get along with.
Having managed a medical hall for so many years, he had seen countless people and encountered different kinds of people. Naturally, he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable because the other party looked down on him.
He looked at the attendant politely and said, "May I know what is wrong with the little young master? Please tell me the symptoms, and I can recommend a suitable physician for the little young master."
"Which physician of yours has the highest medical skill here?" The attendant asked rudely.
That should be his family’s Little Gu!
But his family’s Little Gu was performing an operation on Jiang Shi at the moment, so she couldn’t attend to them right now.
Besides, he could see that the child's illness wasn’t an emergency. Second Owner thought for a moment and then called Physician Song over, "Physician Song, please take a look at this little young master."
Physician Song said to Yu Qinwangfei, "Please come inside."
"You are the best physician in the medical hall?" The attendant looked at him questioningly, "I see that you’re young, only twenty years old, right? Can't you at this medical hall even afford an experienced old physician? Just how did your medical hall get its reputation?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, a physician’s medical skill was often linked to one’s age. The older one was, the richer their experience. However, those who had seen Gu Jiao knew that this was not necessarily true.
Gu Jiao was the youngest physician in the medical hall, but no one doubted her medical skills.
Physician Song wasn’t in a position to argue with the patient, and he wasn’t as smooth talker as Second Owner. He said, "I normally treat children more, so I have rich experience in this area. But to say that my medical skills are the best, I really can't say that. However, Young Miss Gu is busy at the moment. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the lobby."
The attendant felt like getting angry upon hearing this. Even the Emperor of the State of Liang dares not neglect my Wangfei like this, and yet a commoner physician like you wants my Wangfei to wait? I think you have your tail up in the sky!
"Stand down." Yu Qinwangfei said.
The attendant: "...Yes."
"May I ask how much longer we should wait?" Yu Qinwangfei asked Physician Song.
Physician Song replied, "Not much longer, it’s just a minor operation, it will be over soon."
Yu Qinwangfei nodded, "Alright, I will wait."
The attendant muttered, "Wangfei…"
Yu Qinwangfei gave him a meaningful glance to shut up.
The attendant could only fall silent.
Gu Jiao didn't keep Yu Qinwangfei waiting for too long, and came out in a quarter of an hour.
When Yu Qinwangfei saw that it was a fifteen-year-old girl, she realized that the earlier physician indeed said Young Miss Gu, not Physician Gu.
It was just... she was too young.
Gu Jiao, who was used to this questioning look, calmly took people into the consultation room, took the pulse of the child first, and then took out a clean tongue depressor from the jar on the table.
"Open your mouth."
Ming’er hadn’t been examined like this before and was a little scared.
Yu Qinwangfei also looked at Gu Jiao strangely.
Gu Jiao said, "It won’t hurt, I only need to press your tongue so I can see your throat."
After hearing this, Yu Qinwangfei was relieved, "Be good, listen to the physician."
Gu Jiao also didn’t like having a tongue depressor used on her when she was young, as too much pressure would make her feel uncomfortable. Hence, her movements were quick and light; before Ming'er could feel uncomfortable, she had already taken out the tongue depressor.
The tonsils were a little red and swollen.
Gu Jiao took out her stethoscope next and wore it on her ears, "Untie your clothes."
Yu Qinwangfei had never seen such strange objects and strange examination methods before, but she only thought it was an original creation of this medical hall, and didn't think about it too much.
She went to undress her son's clothes, but he grabbed her wrist, "Men and women must take appropriate distance! I won't undress in front of her!"
Since ancient times, it had been taught that men and women must sit separately starting at the age of seven. He was already ten years old, a grown boy!
Gu Jiao looked at him fiercely, "You have to take it off, even if you don’t want to."
What a female rogue!
Ming’er: "..."
Coming to the medical hall meant you must listen to the physician's words. Ming’er's clothes were successfully stripped, and he watched someone listen to his chest and back with a strange object in great humiliation.
He felt that he had been touched all over.
So humiliating!
"Pneumonia."
Gu Jiao gave her diagnosis.
"That, is it serious?" Yu Qinwangfei asked anxiously.
Gu Jiao took off the stethoscope and answered, "It’s a mild pneumonia, not too serious. He just needs to take some medicine."
