The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 247 - 171:

Uncle Luo has apprentices now, so Chun Nuan naturally feels confident recommending patients to him.

Besides, she’s disguised as a man to see patients; it’s not just a matter of a few days. What if she accidentally slips up?

Manager Wen heard that the massage is more effective and immediately agreed to find Doctor Luo.

"I’ll prescribe two doses first. After taking them, you can come back to check the pulse and see how it’s going, then adjust the prescription accordingly." Chun Nuan thought for a moment. "With acupuncture and massage combined with medication, let’s give it ten days. Then we’ll see if there’s any improvement."

"Alright, alright, thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

Manager Wen was somewhat excited, as if he saw hope again.

Yes, previously when visiting doctors they’d ask questions, feel the left leg, then say one sentence: "Brought from the womb, can’t be treated, just have to live with it."

Doctors wouldn’t even prescribe medication and advised not to waste silver, saying there was no need.

That’s like hitting hard with a stick, giving no hope at all.

This time it’s really different - acupuncture, massage, medication - Manager Wen almost burst into tears.

Seeing the young doctor appear with long silver needles, Manager Wen felt a bit nervous: will everything be alright?

He inquired Zhao Minghua with his eyes.

"She restored the meridian and pulse illustrations in ancient books; do you think there’d be a problem?"

Zhao Minghua swiftly saw through Manager Wen’s concerns and explained directly.

Manager Wen... I’m really too overly cautious.

Indeed, one cannot measure the sea with a bucket, nor judge a person by their appearances.

So young, yet so capable.

"It hurts, a bit painful."

The child suddenly cried out.

Little did he know; the child’s cries of pain were like a heavenly tune to Manager Wen.

He knows that previously, the left calf had no sensation at all.

Now suddenly he’s crying out in pain.

"You feel a bit of swelling pain, right? Crying out in pain is a good sign; it increases the possibility of healing."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

"If it hurts, you need to stick it out; enduring short-term pain is better than long-term pain. Temporary pain can solve future walking problems. Do you want to try again?" Chun Nuan told the child, "If you can endure it, I will continue treating you; if you’re too afraid, we can stop."

"Treat."

The child suddenly stopped crying: "Doctor, cure me. I want to walk like a normal person, I don’t want to be called a cripple."

"Alright, I will do my best to cure you."

Manager Wen listened to the dialogue between his grandson and the doctor and burst into tears.

What nonsense is "Men don’t easily cry"? It’s only true when the sadness hasn’t reached its peak.

Heaven knows that his grandson is the only offspring, yet suffering from a strange illness, his son passed away early; what’s the use of having so much family property then?

Now the doctor has given him hope, very happy indeed.

As for the treatment here, Manager Wen needs to stay at an inn.

Thinking that staying at the inn for him and his three servants was inconvenient, he simply asked Zhao Minghua about buying a courtyard in this town.

Chun Nuan listened to his conversation with Zhao Minghua and knew he’s a wealthy master; wealth truly brings capriciousness.

Manager Wen asked Chun Nuan how much the consultation fee was, quite stumping her.

"Give ten taels of silver first. After a course of treatment, depending on the results, if effective and cured, then I’ll charge you a hundred taels of silver. If not effective, I won’t charge you a penny."

"Alright, alright, thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

Manager Wen was very moved; let alone a hundred taels of silver, even a thousand taels he would give.

Just after finishing the diagnosis, the sound of knocking came from outside the yard.

Looking out, it was Tang Liu bringing a cart full of goods.

"Third Young Master, you’re here too." Tang Liu was very happy; the reward this time is quite substantial.

"What is this?"

"Just returned from the Capital. Mrs. Xia sent gifts for Miss Xiao; this time there are quite a lot, a whole cart full."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Minghua took out two taels of silver to reward him: "Do work hard to move the goods in."

Chun Nuan looked at piece after piece of cloth being carried in and was quite surprised.

"What’s the situation?"

"Mrs. Xia sent a family letter to the lady." Tang Liu didn’t recognize Chun Nuan at first, thinking it was Chun Ning: "Young Master, please pass the family letter to Miss Xiao."

"Alright, thank you."

Chun Nuan was very satisfied with her successful disguise.

Manager Wen watched this scene curiously: Who is Mrs. Xia from the Capital?

Is there a connection between a doctor from a remote town in Changzhou, Shu City, and Mrs. Xia?

Sending so many pieces of cloth, was she a former patient?

After Zhao Minghua left with the people, Chun Nuan opened the family letter.

Seeing her elder sister’s letter made her deeply moved: her elder sister was also making preparations for her dowry. Not only sent cloth, but also jewelry and accessories, and even hid some silver notes in a piece of cloth.

For the dowry, she is indeed not lacking!
