Practicing business and practicing medicine

Bian Mu was holding a small umbrella, while Qi Yuewei was using a medium-sized concierge business umbrella. Bian Mu was busy trying to figure out the origin of the mansion in front of him. The umbrella blocked his view, so he didn't really notice the expression on Qi Yuewei's face.

"This yard was given by her uncle, and it has been transferred for five or six years!"

"Then she didn't think about changing the gate?" Bian Mu said this subconsciously.

"Change the gate?! Not good! This access control system looks expensive, and getting another one would be a waste! Eh? Do you have to see something everywhere you go to feel at ease?" Qi Yuewei responded with a smile.

"Maybe it's a professional habit! When we Chinese medicine practitioners take the pulse and look at people's conditions, we always pay attention to 'observing the signs with the spirit'. Her house is not simple. Inside and outside, every brick and tile is very exquisite. I have never seen anything like it before, so I naturally took a few more glances. It must be worth hundreds of millions, right?"

"It doesn't seem that expensive. The area is there. The total cost is only tens of millions! I haven't asked, but... it must be less than 100 million!"

The two were standing there chatting, and they saw the door half opened. A lady in her early thirties walked out. Judging from her dress, she should be the life assistant of this family.

"Miss Qi! It's cold! Please come in!" As she spoke, the woman did not forget to nod politely to Bian Mu.

Bian Mu bowed to her as a return gesture.

"Are they all here?" Qi Yuewei asked with a smile.

"There are still two or three people missing. They will be here soon."

"This is Doctor Bian, a very good friend. This is Sister Meng, Sister Xing's life assistant." Qi Yuewei introduced the two of them enthusiastically.

"Sister Meng! Hello!"

"Doctor Bian, you're welcome!"

Chatting and laughing along the way, the three of them walked towards the main hall.

Rocking, corridor, fish pond, small bamboo forest... Wow! How big is this courtyard! Bian Mu was quite surprised. Since he came to the city, this is still the most exquisite house he has seen!

It's good to be rich!

On the way, almost everything he saw was Chinese garden style. However, when the three of them came to the main hall, Bian Mu found that it was a serious Western-style hall building, and the style was peculiar. Bian Mu had never seen it in movies and TV dramas.

There is a sunshade and rainproof awning about 20 meters in front of the main hall. It can be seen that it is electrically controlled. When needed, the eaves, guard walls and other things are complete. If the weather is fine and the venue is needed, it can be automatically retracted.

At this moment, several ladies with jewels and gems are sitting under the awning. Judging from their ages, they are a few years older than Qi Yuewei. They look gorgeous and don’t look very worldly. Bian Mu guessed that these people in front of him should be from wealthy families for several generations.

One of the women in a lavender dress looked at Bian Mu sharply. When she saw the female assistant take away the umbrellas in Bian Mu’s hands, she stood up to greet him.

Seeing her stand up, the young ladies next to her politely greeted Qi Yuewei.

"Is this Doctor Bian?" The lady in the purple dress who led the way said with a reserved demeanor.

"Sister Xing! The head of the family! Bian Mu! He said he would come to meet the family a long time ago. He is busy!" Qi Yuewei introduced Bian Mu to the ladies.

Bian Mu was in contact with big shots all day long, so his manners were more natural. He exchanged a few words with the hostess and others in a relatively decent manner.

After a few sneak glances, Qi Yuewei was quite satisfied with Bian Mu's performance.

At this time, three more female guests arrived. Bian Mu found that except for himself, they were all ladies. For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed.

Everyone was talking and laughing, surrounding the hostess and walking towards the main hall. Then they heard hurried footsteps behind them. Bian Mu turned his head and saw that it was okay! Finally, two men came. One was in his early thirties, wearing a Western suit. He looked like a successful person with a strong elite style. Behind him, a handsome guy chased after him. Judging from his age, he was comparable to Bian Mu, but he looked childish, like a young man who was still studying for a degree.

For a moment, Bian Mu had a good impression of the younger guy. He felt that his temperament was quite similar to that of Ms. Fang, the former daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Maybe he was also an artist.

"Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Bian Mu, this is Mr. Ma of Hongyuan Company, and this is Mr. Wei, the cousin of Sister Xing, who studies vocal music and has not graduated yet!" Qi Yuewei walked back to introduce the two gentlemen to Bian Mu.

The three men exchanged a few words with each other, and followed the ladies into the main hall with laughter.

This was the first time that Bian Mu had participated in such a friend-style gathering. Naturally, he was a little restrained in his behavior. He was determined to follow Qi Yuewei.

The young handsome guy was very popular and soon had a great chat with the ladies. Not long after, someone asked him to play a song on the high-end piano not far away.

The piano sounded melodious, and it sounded like a master of this art.

Qi Yuewei was quickly pulled away by a few sisters, and only the hostess and the middle-aged man were left beside Bian Mu.

"Doctor Bian! I have been very curious since I was a child. You said... the legendary 'diagnosis of pulse by hanging thread' is just a story gimmick, right? There is no medical basis, right?" The hostess suddenly said these words.

Unprepared, Bian Mu was slightly stunned.

"What does she mean by this? Is she testing me? Or is there another deeper meaning? Why would she talk about this right at the beginning?" Bian Mu couldn't help but think in his heart.

"I'm also curious. Just like ancient myths, in fact...myths are all based on ancient history, Doctor Bian! Is the so-called 'diagnosis by hanging silk thread' the same thing?" The middle-aged man also chimed in.

"This...I can't say for sure, but...according to the fragments of ancient books...due to the taboo of men and women not being intimate, someone may have tried to make a slight change in this way. I'm just guessing...the final diagnosis was probably made by relying on the solid auscultation skills. The 'diagnosis by hanging silk thread' is probably a little bit untrue, and the actual diagnosis effect is a bit fantasy." In order to avoid getting himself into trouble, Bian Mu directly "strangled" this embarrassing topic on the spot.

"Really? Why did I hear that Teacher Lan Bingru talked about this matter, saying that special medical props were needed. I seem to remember something like string silk. Doctor Bian has never heard of it?" The man smiled and refuted slightly.

Obviously, the two of them wanted to "discuss" this topic with Bian Mu in depth.

"You may be talking about sheep gut strings, the kind of strings commonly used in cellos in the old days... Maybe someone has tried it, but... even if 'diagnosing pulses with hanging threads' is true, the specific operation is not as simple as everyone imagines. Get a few sheep gut strings... wires that are easy to sense subtle vibrations, simply wrap them around the wrists of female patients, and then the doctor hides in the dark to observe the vibration changes of the hanging threads. The specific operation must be a very complicated procedure." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, thinking that Bian Mu might have been tricked.
