Chapter 203 Follow-up consultation
“Oh…” Long Chuqing then remembered Xiao Han beside her. She turned around and introduced him, “This is my apprentice. He came with me today so that he can learn some medical knowledge and experience from me.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately stepped forward, bowed politely to Madam Cheng, and greeted her, "Madam Cheng, hello."
"Oh, very well," Madam Cheng replied with a smile, then asked with a puzzled look, "Is that so? But I wonder why he's wearing a mask?"
"Oh, about this!" Long Chuqing thought for a moment: "Well, because he was accidentally scalded by boiling water when he was a child, which left a scar on his face, he was worried that his appearance would frighten others, so he always wears a mask when he goes out."
After listening to Long Chuqing's fabricated story, Xiao Han unconsciously reached out and touched the mask on his face, then looked at Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing nodded at him and returned a firm smile, as if to say, "Leave it to me."
"Alas..." Madam Cheng sighed softly after hearing this, and said in a slightly sad tone, "They are all pitiful children, just like my son, suffering so much at such a young age."
Then Madam Cheng glanced at Xiao Han again, her face full of regret, and said, "Just from this half of his face, one can tell that if he hadn't been scarred, he would have been a handsome young man. It's such a pity!"
"Don't worry, Madam." Seeing that Madam Cheng was lost in sadness, Long Chuqing quickly added, "I am currently applying medicine to treat him. I believe that as long as we persevere, the scars will be removed in time, and his appearance will be restored to its original state."
"It would be wonderful if his appearance could be restored! This child is even younger than my Chuan'er! If he can't be cured, wouldn't his life be ruined?"
"Thank you for your concern, Madam," Xiao Han said.
Long Chuqing felt embarrassed that the lie she had just made up had stirred up Madam Cheng's sadness, so she quickly changed the subject: "Madam, let's go see the Second Young Master first!"
"Alright, please follow me."
Madam Cheng led Long Chuqing and Xiao Han to the courtyard of the Second Young Master Cheng. She gently knocked on the door, and after a moment, the Second Young Master's new wife opened the door.
Upon seeing Madam Cheng, she gave a slight bow and softly called out, "Mother."
"Oh... Jiajia! Let me introduce you." Madam Cheng looked at Long Chuqing behind her: "This young lady is the doctor who treated Chuan'er on the day of the wedding banquet. She has come here today specifically to give Chuan'er a follow-up examination."
Cui Jiajia followed Long Chuqing's gaze to the door. Upon seeing her, she paused slightly before curtsying and bowing in return: "Thank you, Doctor, for saving my husband. I am deeply grateful."
I didn't see the bride in the bridal chamber on the day of the wedding banquet, but today she looks beautiful and elegant.
This woman was not afraid of societal norms and married into the Cheng family to bring good luck. She was a very brave woman who was willing to do anything for the love in her heart!
Long Chuqing smiled politely: "Young Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Treating the sick and saving lives is the duty of a healer."
Cui Jiajia nodded slightly to Long Chuqing, then looked at Madam Cheng: "Mother, let me go in first and tell my husband."
Madam Cheng nodded slightly: "Alright, go ahead!"
Inside the room, the second young master, Cheng Chuan, was leaning against the bed, holding a book in his hand, engrossed in reading.
For the past two days, Cui Jiajia has stayed by his side and taken good care of his daily life.
At first, Cheng Chuan was still wary of this sudden marriage, and he was not used to the care his new wife gave him.
No matter how he tried to persuade her, Cui Jiajia insisted on staying to take care of him. In the end, he couldn't refuse her and had no choice but to let her go.
Cui Jiajia walked slowly toward him and said softly, "Husband, Mother has brought the doctor who examined you the other day."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chuan put down the book he was holding: "Please come quickly..."
Cui Jiajia nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the door.
Long Chuqing came to the bedside and, upon seeing Cheng Chuan, said, "The Second Young Master looks much better today than he did the day before!"
Cheng Chuan cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, "I am very grateful to Miss Long for saving me. Otherwise, I would probably not have the chance to sit here and read a book right now!"
Long Chuqing waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that, let me take your pulse first!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Long!" Cheng Chuan stretched out his arm and slightly lifted the sleeve of his shirt.
Long Chuqing carefully examined Cheng Chuan's pulse for a while, and after she released him, she said with relief, "His pulse is much better than before."
She looked at Xiao Han standing behind her, "Um... Xiao Qin! Come here."
"Xiao Qin? Is she calling me?" Xiao Han looked at Long Chuqing by the bed and found that she was looking at him. Then he walked over to the bed.
Long Chuqing turned to look at Cheng Chuan on the bed: "Second Young Master, this is my apprentice, named Xiao Qin. He came with me today to learn. You don't mind if he takes your pulse, do you?"
Cheng Chuan politely replied, "Since she was brought by Miss Long, how could I mind?" After saying that, he looked at Xiao Han and nodded slightly.
Xiao Han glanced at Long Chuqing beside him, who smiled at him and said, "Go on, Xiao Qin. Carefully feel the Second Young Master's pulse. When we get back, your teacher will have to test you properly."
"Your teacher?" After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han first sighed inwardly, then nodded: "Yes."
He slowly walked forward and sat on the stool where Long Chuqing had been sitting. Then he placed his fingers on Cheng Chuan's wrist and quietly felt the pulse.
A moment later, he stood up, turned around and looked at Long Chuqing, "I have carefully examined the Second Young Master's pulse."
Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing nodded slightly and said in a somewhat mature tone, "Yes, very good. Be sure to remember the characteristics of these pulse patterns. I will explain the reasons and solutions to you in detail when we get back."
"Mm." Xiao Han nodded and stepped aside.
After examining Cheng Chuan's pulse, Long Chuqing began to administer acupuncture, and she also had Xiao Han stand beside her to carefully observe the acupuncture process.
Although Xiao Han knew nothing about these medical principles and could not understand them very well, he stood beside her like an apprentice, watching her every move intently.
While administering acupuncture, Long Chuqing would also explain the procedure to him, and Xiao Han would nod in agreement from time to time.
However, when he saw the second young master lying on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he was too embarrassed to ask Chu Qing right now.
After the acupuncture was administered, while waiting for the needles to be removed, Long Chuqing moved to the table and sat down to begin writing the prescription. Xiao Han followed her to the table and sat down as well.
Long Chuqing wrote down two medicinal herbs on the paper, then stopped writing and looked at the three people by the bed, then at Xiao Han sitting next to her, and said softly, "Do you still want me to explain?"
