Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 563: Consultation (asking for monthly ticket!)
Neither the doctor nor the patient arrived, so Qin Chang planned to leave and return to the palace.

At this moment, Huai En's special sedan stopped in front of the restaurant, and then he got off the sedan.

After Qin Chang and Qin Ji learned the news, they hurried downstairs to greet them.

"Eunuch Huai, you are finally here."

Qin Chang's eyes were a little red, and he felt very emotional.

Brother, if you didn't come today, would we still be friends in the future?
I'm helping you out of kindness, but you're treating me like a fool, right?

Huai En smiled and said, "How can I live up to Eunuch Tan's kindness? It's just that I was accompanying His Majesty and the Queen earlier and was unable to get away in time. I heard that Zhang Guozhang has sent news?"

Qin Chang understood as soon as he heard it.

If there was no news from Zhang Luan, or if he had already arrived, Huai En would not have come.

It was precisely because Huai En knew that Zhang Luan was not present today and had only asked his son to come on his behalf that Huai En felt that this matter was relatively appropriate, so he decided to show up.

"Yes, Zhang Guozhang said that he would first ask his second son Yanling to examine you... I don't know how capable he is, maybe Zhang Guozhang still has some concerns."

Qin Chang said, "After all, after treating the late emperor, he never asked about the affairs of the Imperial Hospital again, and I have never heard of him treating anyone else. It is inevitable that he is afraid."

Huai En smiled and said, "That's fine... let's go in and talk?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go in and talk... Ping Bao, quickly have someone send the wine and food upstairs."

Qin Chang felt much better instantly.

It seems like I feel that what I do has meaning.

Huai En said: "Don't bother, I came here today to ask for a favor, and I didn't bring any gifts, I will make it up when I get back."

……

……

The second floor of the restaurant.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yanling finally arrived.

This time, the three big bosses from the Imperial Household Department came out to greet him together, which made Zhang Yanling look flattered.

"Three gentlemen, how can I be so worthy of your kindness... How can I be so worthy of your kindness?"

Zhang Yanling said respectfully.

Qin Ji smiled and said, "Second Young Master, everyone knows that you are capable, there is no need to hide it... Since your father asked you to come, it means that he is very confident in your medical skills."

Huai En smiled but said nothing.

Then several people accompanied Zhang Yanling upstairs, treating him as a VIP guest.

After a few people went upstairs, Ping Bao came out of the kitchen with a chef's apron hanging in front of him and looked up.

At this time, Yang also stuck her head out.

"What are you looking at, bitch? What's so good about it?"

Ping Bao turned around and started cursing.

"Giving you face?" Yang snorted. "Aren't you here to see what kind of guest those three big shots are welcoming? Why is it... a child?"

Ping Bao's eyes sparkled as he said, "Who knows, he might be the son of some noble family... Judging from his appearance, he is quite someone important. Do you know who the old man standing next to the two eunuchs Tan is?"

"how could I know?"

Then Yang tried to persuade him, "Boss, didn't I tell you not to cook today? You won't be able to entertain important people with all the cooking fumes on you... Hurry up and take off your clothes!"

Ping Bao took off his apron and said, "Although my godfather didn't tell me explicitly, I guess that old man is the famous senior eunuch Huai En from the Imperial Household Department."

Yang stopped helping to take off her apron and asked curiously, "Is it the eunuch Huai that even our parents often mentioned? I heard that when the late emperor was alive, everyone in the capital was afraid of him..."

"The one that people fear is Eunuch Shang Ming. Eunuch Shang once became famous for impeaching the former West Factory Supervisor Eunuch Wang Zhi. During his time in charge of the East Factory, he oppressed the good people to make money, sold official positions for money, and did all kinds of evil. People in the capital were afraid of him... Our Eunuch Huai has a very good reputation. No one is afraid of him, but they all respect him." Ping Bao said unhappily, "Don't pretend to know something you don't."

Yang frowned and said, "Isn't it Eunuch Huai En that I'm talking about? I've heard about Eunuch Huai En's deeds a long time ago. Could it be false? There's also Liang Fang in the palace. He's also a powerful figure. Our fathers had business dealings with him and were implicated before...

"Humph, the reason why I married you is because you have a strong background and are the adopted son of a powerful eunuch. Do you think that just because you are a military household, you can marry a beautiful lady like me who comes from a scholarly family? Dream on!"

"Don't be so conceited! You're even tougher than that butcher's wife... Humph, you come from a scholarly family, but your father's knowledge is so shameless!"

Ping Bao cursed.

Yang raised the kitchen knife and gestured towards Pingbao.

Ping Bao mocked, "What's the matter? I hit your soft spot, so you want to kill your husband? Just do it! I'll ruin your whole family's reputation, and then you can come to me..."

As he spoke, he pointed to his chest.

Yang snorted and said, "I won't bother with a rude person like you."

"Who's the rough guy?"

Ping Bao argued his case.

Yang said, "Do you know as many words as I do? You can't even do a math calculation! If I hadn't taken care of the family business and property, you would have been ruined like your brother who separated from you! Although my Yang family is not very capable, we have produced several officials in the court, and my uncle was even a Jinshi..."

"He is your uncle who is several generations away from you, not your biological uncle." "So what? Just tell him whether his surname is Yang or not! If the prince had chosen his concubine a few years earlier, how could it be the turn of Empress Zhang in the palace now? With my background and appearance, how could I not be chosen? If I follow you, it would be a waste of such a beautiful girl like me!"

……

……

The second floor.

Zhang Yanling was just a child, but he could sit at the same table with three big guys.

Then he laid out the cushions and checked Huai En's pulse on the spot.

Seeing Zhang Yanling's serious look, Huai En smiled and said, "A few days ago, I went to the Imperial Hospital to see Doctor Wang Ji, and mentioned to him the great doctors in the world today. Among those he strongly recommended was you, the Second Young Master... and your father."

Zhang Yanling raised his head upon hearing this and said modestly, "Doctor Wang is really too kind to me. How dare I call myself a master of Chinese medicine? I have only learned medical skills from my father for a few days!"

"hehe."

Huai En's eyes were full of smiles.

It is obvious that this guy is a very smart person.

Although Huai En might not see some things very clearly, it was unrealistic to completely hide them from him.

What's more, even a young man like Qin Yun could see clearly who was stronger and who was weaker between the father and son of the Zhang family. How could he hide it from Huai En, an old fox who was almost a demon?
Qin Chang asked nervously, "Second Master, what is the condition of Eunuch Huai...?"

"Pulse diagnosis alone can only give a rough idea of ​​the direction. We also need to ask about the symptoms."

After answering Qin Chang's question, Zhang Yanling looked at Huai En and asked, "Mr. Huai, where do you feel uncomfortable? Judging from the pulse, it should be insufficient middle qi, accumulation of swelling, jaundice and rib pain, and excessive fire in the middle burner?"

Qin Chang frowned when he heard this and asked, "What exactly is it? It sounds so mysterious..."

Huai En smiled slightly and pleaded, "Second Young Master, these Chinese medicine terms are too profound... Just say it if you have something to say."

Zhang Yanling looked at Huai En with an extremely serious expression: "Accumulation refers to the internal evil qi and the positive qi fighting each other, gathering in the abdomen to form a mass; distension is manifested by a swollen abdomen, tense like a drum, pale yellow skin, and exposed veins; jaundice means yellow body, yellow eyes, and yellow urine; flank pain refers to pain in one or both sides of the ribs... You should have seen a lot of doctors before, and their advice should be half a year... Am I right?"

"all hit!"

Huai En nodded heavily, and then praised: "The Second Young Master is worthy of his reputation, he is really amazing!"

Qin Ji, who was listening nearby, suddenly became nervous and asked, "What do you mean by half a year? Can you please stop playing dumb?"

Huai En smiled and said, "Second Young Master is talking about how long I can last with this illness... I'm old, and after a series of tossings before, my body naturally can't hold on... Hey, it's nothing, it's just an old man's disease, we just need to be open-minded about everything..."

Zhang Yanling pursed his lips and said solemnly: "This is a lung disease."

Qin Ji asked nervously, "Could it be tuberculosis?"

"It's not consumption."

Zhang Yanling shook his head and said, "The disease that Eunuch Huai is infected with is much more serious than tuberculosis... If this disease cannot be eradicated directly from the inside and is allowed to develop, then he can only survive for about half a year. Even this is a relatively optimistic estimate. It should be difficult to survive until next summer."

Qin Ji almost cried out loud, his eyes were red, and he urged anxiously: "Then...then treat it quickly!"

Zhang Yanling nodded slightly, continued to stare into Huai En's eyes, and said: "Of course we have to treat it, but for now we can only rely on some conservative treatments, with the main goal of prolonging life and improving the quality of life in the future."

"This... what exactly does the Second Young Master mean by this?"

Qin Ji continued to ask questions.

It's like asking for Huai En.

Qin Chang seemed to understand what was said and asked Zhang Yanling immediately, "Second Master is saying that this disease cannot be cured even if it comes to you and your father. You can only use the strategy of delaying and gradually recuperating... There should be a chance of recovery, right?"

Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said, "I am only a half-baked person, I just say what I have learned. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, it is difficult to say that this disease will turn around."

"But... woo woo."

Qin Ji couldn't hold back his tears.

Huai En smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Second Young Master, thank you for coming here... In fact, no matter who I ask about my illness, the result will be the same. It's just a matter of time."

Zhang Yanling asked hopefully, "Doctor Wang, can you give me a better treatment strategy?"

"He said he wasn't good at treating this."

Huai En shook his head and said, "Fortunately, he is well-informed and has a good memory. He happened to know some prescriptions for the symptoms, so he prescribed some medicine for me... I am taking it now. Although there is no obvious improvement, I have indeed slept more soundly in the past few days."

"Is there a prescription?"

Zhang Yanling asked.

Huai En said: "I didn't bring it."

Qin Chang frowned upon hearing this and complained, "Eunuch Huai, this is your fault... Since everyone is here today, why don't you bring the prescriptions you used in the past? I'd also like to ask the Second Young Master to take a closer look and prescribe a better prescription!"

Huai En smiled and said, "Bring me a pen and paper, and I will copy it down."

"Haha, that's right."

Qin Chang was a little embarrassed, and then asked his adopted son to bring paper and pen upstairs for Huai En to take notes.
