Chapter 4 The Son-in-Law Offers a Reward

When Mr. Gao heard this, he felt that although the young man spoke a little harshly, he was very honest and straightforward. If he hadn't had some ability in his heart, he wouldn't have been so noble. Unconsciously, there was a little more hope in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Yes, many doctors have not cured the little girl's disease. I hope the young master can rejuvenate his life. If the young master can cure the little girl's disease..."

Lu Jinping waved his hand and interrupted him: "No need to say anything about Mr. Gao. I know all your conditions. Don't waste time. Let's go as soon as possible!"

Old Master Gao hurriedly agreed and took Lu Jinping and his maid Ye Qingqing to his daughter's boudoir.

In the Tang Dynasty, men and women were not as vigilant as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were not so many taboos. So the doctor could go directly into the woman's house to see the woman, without having to take a pulse through the mosquito net, and not having to put a handkerchief on his wrist. Therefore, after Lu Jinping and the others entered, Old Master Gao's daughter lay on the bed like that, and the mosquito net was not put down. Next to her were maids, old mothers, and Old Master Gao's three wives and concubines.

Lu Jinping looked at the face of Mr. Gao's daughter lying on the bed and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Not to mention how this girl's illness is, even if Mr. Gao promised to cure her daughter's illness, he could be called upon as a son-in-law. I'm afraid that even a young doctor who has the ability to cure his daughter's illness would have to consider after seeing his daughter's appearance, whether to cure her daughter's illness, because his daughter is indeed too ordinary, and it can even be said to be a little ugly.

Of course, in the eyes of parents all over the world, their children are always the best. Therefore, in the eyes of Mr. Gao, his daughter is as beautiful as a fairy, so he offered a high price. The high price he thought could save his life as a dying daughter, he could recruit a son-in-law as soon as he could not only marry his beautiful daughter, but also inherit his family business. Because Mr. Gao had only such a child. The family business could only be left to his daughter and son-in-law. Unfortunately, he lacked an objective understanding of his daughter's appearance. He did not know that the reward he proposed was actually a severe test for the young doctor who had illusions.

Of course, Lu Jinping did not offer a reward for the son-in-law to inherit the family business. He was just forced to come by his plan by Fatty Yao and others. However, he wanted to see if his medical skills could help cure the disease of Old Grandpa Gao’s daughter. If it could be cured, he would not be a son-in-law and could also get a bounty, which would at least relieve the pressure of life and not worry so much about his livelihood.

Lu Jinping sat down, carefully observed Miss Gao's expression, and took her wrist to take her pulse.

Although he studied Western medicine in college, traditional Chinese medicine is a compulsory course in medical science and requires a certain amount of time to study. Therefore, he still understands some basic things in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is far from the level of treating people, including taking pulses. He only understands some theories and does not know how to actually operate. Now he is just pretending.

When his fingers touched the girl's wrist, the girl suddenly twitched, as if her wrist was stabbed by a needle. She reluctantly opened her eyes, glanced at Lu Jinping, turned her eyes, closed her eyes again, and made a painful sound from her nose.

Old Master Gao quickly leaned over and comforted, "Good daughter, this doctor is a famous doctor invited by his father. He is here to see you. His medical skills are very good. When the medicine is cured, many people have cured them. He has cured many people like your disease, so he will definitely cure your disease. Don't worry! Listen to the doctor, take medicine well, and the disease will be cured soon."

I don’t know how many times Mr. Gao said this, but every doctor would brag about it like this. His ears were callused, but it was useless. But these words were relieved, so in order to comfort his daughter, he copied them and said them many times, which was already very natural.

Lu Jinping put his already light movements lighter, almost gently pressing them on the woman's wrist. Even so, the woman still shivered.

He just kept it like this because he was just pretending. He pressed her wrist and turned around and said to Mr. Gao: "When did your daughter start to feel uncomfortable? When did she find out she was sick? What were the symptoms at that time?"

Old Master Gao was a little strange and thought that this young doctor was different from other people's treatment. He had just put his hand on his daughter's wrist and immediately began to ask about the condition. A normal doctor either asked about the condition first, or took the pulse in a low voice, watched the tongue, etc., and then asked about the condition. It is rare to see people who were asking about the condition while taking the pulse. Because they were distracted by listening to the other party's answer, they could not experience the changes in the pulse under the fingers. From this, it seems that this young doctor was not as powerful as he imagined. Old Master Gao showed a disappointed expression on his face.

However, it is better to have hope than disappointment. He needs to be patient and give as many opportunities as possible to the doctor.

Old Master Gao did not express his doubts and answered bluntly: "My daughter was sick about four or five months ago. At the beginning, she didn't want to eat, and she always had diarrhea and felt weak. She invited a doctor to see her and said she had typhoid fever and prescribed medicine for her daughter, but it didn't work at all. Instead, she became more and more powerful. She ate less and less, and she was weak all over and didn't want to get up when she lay on the bed. And no one could touch her, and she said it hurts when she touched her. Oh, I don't know what's wrong. I went to the capital to invite an imperial physician to see her, but it turned out to be useless. Now, I can only place my hope on the young master, hoping that you will cure my daughter if you are cured..."

Listening to him that ridiculous return method, Lu Jinping waved his hand and interrupted him and said, frowned and carefully looked at the girl's face. He picked up her hand and found that one side of her palm was peeling off, and there were some small rashes on her hands.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but lit up his eyes, nodded slowly, turned around and said to Mr. Gao, "Did you eat your daughter today?"

Old Master Gao shook his head and said, "No, she refused to eat it. She put the food beside the bed and fed her, and she couldn't eat it even if she had any bite."

"So has she vomited?"

"Occasionally, I vomited after eating a few times. But I haven't vomited in the past few days. - Young Master, what disease do you think my daughter is? Some doctors say that she is hurting, and some say that she is possessed by evil spirits. But if you use all the methods, you will not be cured. You must have a good solution, right? Should you use medicine? Or do you do rituals?"

As soon as he heard the old man's words, Lu Jinping knew that he was really ill and went to the doctor. It seemed that he had not only hired a doctor, but also invited Taoist priests to do it, and there were many, otherwise he would not have said such words.

Lu Jinping said to Mr. Gao: "Not to mention those, I will give your daughter something to eat first. People are iron rice and steel, and they will not eat for a meal and they will be hungry. If she doesn't eat, her body will become weaker and weaker and she will not have the strength to resist the disease."

Old Master Gao smiled bitterly and said, "I know this is the reason, but if the things are delivered to her mouth, she doesn't eat them, and I can't do anything."

"Let's do it, bring the food, and I'll tell her that after she eats something, she has some strength and can speak, I have to ask her to understand the condition. If she doesn't say a word, it will be troublesome. Traditional Chinese medicine..., no, does doctors pay attention to looking, listening, asking and touching when they see a doctor? If they don't ask, it will be difficult to accurately grasp the condition, so they still have to find a way to let her eat."

When Mr. Gao heard this, he nodded repeatedly and quickly ordered the maid to bring a bowl of millet and ginseng porridge from the kitchen for the lady to eat.
