Chapter 589: Check Your Pulse
When Lin Wenyue heard this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands:
"Madam, Magistrate Xu is so busy, let him do his thing, I will have dinner with you."
Xu Huaiyuan frowned and looked at Lin Wenyue. She was smiling, as if she was heartless and cheerful all day long, as if she had no worries at all.
"Xu County Magistrate, I really have something I want to inquire about. Since you are here, I will ask you, do you know where Doctor Niu Yongnian lives? He is the doctor who was praised by the court and made great contributions in the mines. You must know him, right?"
Lin Wenyue only found out that Doctor Niu lived in a house awarded by the court, which seemed to be in Qingluo Lane, but she didn't know the exact location. She felt that County Magistrate Xu must know it.
"Why are you asking about him? He's still studying medicine?"
Xu Huaiyuan was also surprised. He didn't expect that a rich lady would be so obsessed with studying medicine.
"Yes, I am still learning. I want to take him as my teacher."
Lin Wenyue admitted it generously.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at her son and Miss Lin, and suddenly felt that they were a good match.
She was so happy that she immediately pulled Lin Wenyue to sit down and pushed her son down as well.
"You guys sit down and chat, I'll go check out the kitchen."
Since there were maids and servants in the courtyard, it was not considered impolite, and Old Mrs. Xu went to prepare lunch happily.
Lin Wenyue was originally a lively person, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her sitting with County Magistrate Xu. She even said to Old Lady Xu:
"Excuse me, old lady."
After Xu Huaiyuan saw his mother leave, he sat down and drank some tea.
After being busy for a long time, it is indeed a rare moment of leisure.
"I remember you had many masters. How come you sought apprenticeship everywhere?"
Those scholars usually only have one master.
"Learning never ends. Moreover, although I have many teachers, none of them are my formal disciples. Why does County Magistrate Xu think that this is not possible?"
Lin Wenyue was not convinced. What did she mean by having so many masters that it seemed like she was not focused.
Magistrate Xu was good at government affairs and her father often praised him, but in his personal life, his words were not nice at all.
Xu Huaiyuan also felt that he had said something wrong and apologized immediately:
"Yes, of course. Even if you have a master, you can still ask others for advice. Miss Lin is right. Learning never ends."
Lin Wenyue was magnanimous and naturally would not argue with him.
"I heard that Doctor Niu came back to worship his ancestors. Will he live in a relative's house instead of the house awarded by the court? Does County Magistrate Xu know where Doctor Niu's ancestors came from?"
Lin Wenyue thought about this question and wanted to confirm it to avoid any missed opportunity.
"I heard that there are no more people at Doctor Niu's house, and the house has long been dilapidated and uninhabitable. He should be living in the house awarded by the court. I will send someone to follow you this afternoon. If there is no one there, let him take you to look for him."
Xu Huaiyuan was also a cautious person. He instructed the yamen runner who had gone to find Doctor Niu to do the job to come over after dinner and wait.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xu."
Lin Wenyue is sincerely grateful.
After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Lin Wenyue felt a little restrained and embarrassed. She glanced at Xu Huaiyuan and found that there was something wrong with his expression.
"Master Xu, have you been overworked recently? I see you don't look well, why don't you let me take your pulse?"
There's nothing wrong with sitting there, it's a good opportunity to practice.
When Xu Huaiyuan heard this, his body instinctively tensed up and he immediately shook his head and said:
"no, I'm fine......"
Lin Wenyue also became excited. Lord Xu looked down on her medical skills. Now she has made a lot of progress and is a famous female doctor in Beichang Prefecture.
"I am no longer the same person I was before, and I won't hurt you."
Lin Wenyue directly reached out her hand:
"Hands out."
After looking at the other person, he wondered whether Lord Xu would mind physical contact with a woman, so he simply took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and placed it directly on his wrist.
"I'm not really touching you, don't mind."
Xu Huaiyuan had already stretched out his wrist. Although he didn't want her to take his pulse, seeing her attitude that did not allow for rejection, he instinctively placed his hand on the stone table.
Seeing a handkerchief covering his wrist again, he was helpless:
"I didn't mean that..."
She didn't mind being a woman, so why should he mind?
Lin Wenyue is already in hospital. When it comes to medical skills, she becomes very different from usual.
She was very serious at this moment, even her breathing was light and she could not feel any fluctuations.
When Xu Huaiyuan looked up, he saw her focused profile.
It was as if he had become a different person, radiating light all over his body.
I remember that the last time she took my pulse, it didn't seem to be like this.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and she has really changed a lot.
Lin Wenyue has already stopped:
"Master Xu, have you been suffering from bloating and shortness of breath recently? And tinnitus and insomnia?"
Lin Wenyue asked, then walked forward to look into his eyes and asked him to open his mouth to look at his tongue.
Xu Huaiyuan came back to his senses and opened his mouth.
He waited until she finished the consultation before answering:
"I have had these symptoms recently, and I feel weak all over."
I didn't expect that her medical skills have improved so much now, and she can treat all these symptoms.
He has been feeling a little unwell recently, but has been too busy to see a doctor.
"Is Master Xu too busy, under great mental pressure, and often stays up late at night?"
Lin Wenyue had already guessed the reason.
There was an incident with the iron mine in Beichang Prefecture, and there were many follow-up matters to be dealt with, so her father was very busy.
In addition, County Magistrate Xu also has to temporarily manage the mines, so he is naturally busier than her father and the pressure will also increase.
If this continues for a long time, it will deplete your qi and blood, leading to weakness of the spleen and stomach.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep in a while."
Xu Huaiyuan really had a new respect for Lin Wenyue.
"No problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You should have a good rest from now on. You will be busy with official duties, and your health is the most important thing."
Lin Wenyue asked someone to bring paper and pen and started writing the prescription.
This is not a disease, it just needs to be supplemented and regulated.
Xu Huaiyuan sat beside her and watched her write. Her handwriting was not as sloppy as that of other doctors, but rather very neat.
After Lin Wenyue finished writing, she blew on the paper and waited to see if the ink was dry before handing it to him.
"If you're worried, you can see another doctor."
Thinking of how he didn't trust her medical skills in the past, Lin Wenyue kindly gave him a reminder.
Xu Huaiyuan's old face turned red, but this time he solemnly put away the prescription.
"When you've been away for three days, you should look at each other with new eyes. I will definitely trust you this time. Thank you, Miss Lin. I'll have someone pay the consultation fee right away."
After saying this, he was about to call a servant, but Lin Wenyue stopped him immediately when he saw this.
"No, it's just a small favor. I've taken care of you in the past at the county government, and this is what I should do. Sir Xu, you don't have to be polite."
After she said that, Xu Huaiyuan didn't say anything more.
Being so polite to each other, it actually made things feel awkward.
