张太医论病细穷源
Jokey Jin apologises, but broods.
His mother admonishes him – it was hard to get him into the school, and they’re
saving a lot of money as a result – including receiving some from Pan. His
aunt, Jia Huang 贾璜 of Ningguo’s wife, who also is not wealthy, visits and is
told the story. She heads to Ningguo to talk to Qinshi, but her anger subsides
and she hears the other side of the story from Youshi, and learns that brooding
over it had made Qinshi ill.
Cousin Zhen and wife Youshi
discuss the illness, and Zhen reveals that he’s arranged for an esteemed
doctor, Zhang Youshi 张友士, to call the next day, and asks Jia Rong
to tell him the symptoms. They discuss arrangements for his father’s birthday
too. Zhang examines Qinshi, and is able to determine quickly what is wrong with
her, unlike other doctors who had given conflicting views, leading the
condition to deteriorate. He writes a prescription, and predicts a full
recovery if she makes it to the spring equinox.
