Su Yuejian looked at Doctor Shen and the other three in bewilderment. They were leaving now?

You haven't told me what the disease is yet?

I don’t know how to take a pulse and I don’t have any testing equipment.

You really think I'm a miracle doctor who can tell everything in the world just by counting with your fingers?

At this time, Imperial Physician Shen played the role of Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

He knew most of the physical illnesses that the noble families in Beijing had.

After all, he is the director of the hospital. Who wouldn't want to ask him to treat a disease? However, the ancients also had different specialties in medicine, and not everyone's illness is what Doctor Shen is good at.

Knowing what the condition is doesn't mean it can be cured.

Doctor Shen said awkwardly, "The Concubine's illness is not a hidden disease, it is just diabetes. Once this disease takes hold, there is no cure. She will live for at most ten years. It cannot be cured."

When Su Yue heard this, she realized that this was the diabetes that the elderly often suffer from.

Did ancient people have diabetes?

Yes, ordinary people can’t afford this disease, but the Concubine Dowager can.

After all, you have your status and can eat whatever you want. A high-sugar and high-fat diet over a long period of time will lead to metabolic abnormalities. It would be strange if there are no problems!

After saying goodbye to Doctor Shen and the others one by one, Su Yuejian took Shaoyao back home.

As soon as Su Yuejian returned to the courtyard, she began to prepare the treatment plan for the Concubine Dowager and ordered everyone not to disturb her.

Metformin, how is this drug extracted? I remember seeing it when I was in school. It was some kind of forage grass, yes, it was a herb called goat bean.

It started when a herdsman discovered that his livestock became a little abnormal after eating a newly introduced forage grass: they had symptoms such as pulmonary edema, hypotension, and even paralysis and death.

This newly introduced forage grass is called goat bean. At that time, herders discovered that this plant could significantly increase the milk production of goats, which is why this forage grass was introduced.

But they don't know that this grass, which is both medicinal and poisonous, can cause the death of livestock if eaten in excess.

Later people learned that goat bean, a forage grass, contains metformin, a medicinal ingredient that can effectively lower blood sugar, but this forage grass is toxic and should not be eaten casually.

Chemists are needed to separate the blood sugar lowering part and the toxic part of this forage grass, and then prepare a chemical formula that only has the blood sugar lowering effect but is non-toxic.

Are there any chemists in this era? No! So after racking my brains to come up with this method, I still have to kill it!

He moved as fiercely as a tiger, but when he looked closely, he was still stuck in the same place!

There is no way to extract metformin, and regulating blood sugar through diet and exercise requires great patient compliance to achieve improvement.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a diet management plan for diabetics.

However, the absence of medicine will increase patients' distrust and affect the effectiveness.

Medicine and food have the same origin, so under the guise of medicinal food, a weekly diet plan, daily exercise plan, eating order, and a complete list of foods to avoid when suffering from diseases are formulated for Toffee.

After writing all these down one by one, Su Yuejian breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease. She had to go to the palace the day after tomorrow and couldn't show her weakness.

Then Su Yuejian replanned the yard where she lived. The most important thing was to have a small kitchen in the yard, as she couldn't get used to the food in the public school.

Su Yuejian wrote down the things she wanted to buy and gave them to Shaoyao to purchase.

Shaoyao is studying medicine now, but I still have to take care of her. I am really too busy, and I have to free her from all the chores.

Her stepmother, Mrs. Lu, treated her very normally, but Su Yuejian did not feel embarrassed. On the contrary, she thought it was better this way.

As long as Daddy and Grandma turn a blind eye to her.

As for her, she didn't have to pay her respects to Mrs. Lu twice in the morning and evening. This way, they could be most comfortable without disturbing each other.

Soon, a group of people came to the outside of the yard. The first group came to tailor clothes for Su Yuejian, two sets of clothes for each season.

Actually not much, mainly for meeting guests. For daily wear, old clothes can be worn.

Qiuping, the maidservant beside the Madam, came with four servant girls and said that it was a reward from the Madam to thank the eldest lady for saving the second lady last time.

Two were personal servants, and two were maids who did the rough work.

These four girls were not born in our family, but a few girls bought temporarily to make up the number.

They must have been reprimanded before being brought here, and were required to report any matters to the Madam.

Help the madam to monitor the eldest daughter and so on.

When Su Yuejian looked at the four girls, the first thing that came to her mind was the evil feudal society's human trafficking, but when she thought about having more manpower, she became very happy.

Don't you dare to accept what the lady sends? If you don't, you will offend her. If she dares to give it, she dares to accept it!

Qiu Ping admonished the girls, "This place is different from the outside world. You should carefully consider what you should and should not say. If you make any mistakes, the eldest lady will not punish you, but the lady will also sell you far away!"

Qiu Ping said to Su Yue Jian, "Miss, I'll leave the person to you. If you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back and report."

"Wait, did you forget to give me something?"

Qiu Ping pretended to be dumb and said, "No more, that's all Madam has to say."

Su Yuejian frowned and said, "Those who are rewarded to me are mine, right?"

"That's right, miss."

"Since they are my people, why don't I have their indentures?"

Su Yuejian raised her voice, took a step forward and pressed the issue. There was nothing she could do as she was small, so she could only show more force.

"This is the indenture. Madam was afraid that you were too young to be deceived by the servants, so she kept it for you."

Qiuping from the main courtyard said awkwardly.

"In this case, the things you gave me don't belong to me completely, so I don't want them. Please, Qiu Ping, either take the people back or send the indentures to me."

At this moment, people came from Qingqiu Hall, and the small courtyard became the talk of the town.

Su Yuejian thought, it seems that the ancestor is going to give her a face today.

"My dear young lady, the old ancestor asked me to send Nanny Qin to you. She taught you etiquette, don't you remember? She is a noble girl who is always by the old ancestor's side in the Su family. From now on, she will serve you in Haoyue Pavilion. This is Nanny Qin's indenture."

Shanhu, the eldest maid at Qingqiu Hall, handed it to Su Yuejian respectfully.

Su Yuejian was very grateful for her grandmother's timely help. She took the deed and walked over.

"Madame Qin, we meet again. It was my honor to have you teach Yue'er for a few months in Qingfeng Temple. I hope you will take the trouble to train the girls in my courtyard in the future."

Nanny Qin was the most capable person around the old ancestor. With her in charge, no one dared to skimp on their food, clothing and expenses.

Besides, Nanny Qin is familiar with all the noble families in the capital, and she can help if anything happens in the future.

Nanny Qin took up her post and said to Qiu Ping, "According to what the young lady said, either take the person away now or send the indenture later. I will keep it for the young lady, and please report to the lady that you can rest assured that I will not be fooled by those servants who have no sense of propriety!"

Qiu Ping knew that she had no choice but to accept this, so she knelt down in front of Su Yuejian and said, "Please forgive me, Miss. I forgot to bring their indentures with me. I will go back and get them now."
