Chapter 326: A Soldier Matches A Doctor
Grandpa Jian made a decision and said, âOK, go ahead and check my pulse then. If you convince me, I will give you your favorite âSpring, Grass, Lake and Birdsâ painting.
Elder Jiang liked to collect books and paintings, and he had long coveted Grandpa Jianâs painting.
As soon as he heard what Grandpa Jian said, his eyes lit up like a starving wolf that had found food, âAre you willing to part with it?â
Grandpa Jian expressed generously, âThereâs no reason to miss it, itâs just a painting. But, of course, if you canât convince me, then you will have to give me your copy of âWang Yizhiâ.â
With a change of tone, Grandpa Jian revealed his true motive.
Elder Jiangâs expression sank, âYouâre a wicked old man. It turns out, you have your eyes on my copy of Wang Yizhi.â
âAre you afraid?â Grandpa Jian provoked.
âWhoâs afraid? I will never lose to you.â As Elder Jiang spoke, he looked at Yu Gangan and said threateningly, âIf you canât protect my book, then I will get my grandson to torture you.â
Jiang Qi smirked and whispered into Yu Ganganâs ear, âMy grandfather and Grandpa Jian like to muck around like this. Iâm used to it.â
Yu Gangan was bewildered, unable to laugh nor cry.
These two old men were more than a hundred years old combined, yet they were making bets like children.
Why were they receiving rewards when she was the one doing the work?
âYu Gangan thought about it and smiled slightly, âI donât need to check Grandpa Jianâs pulse, he looks good. He should be healthy.â
Grandpa Jian broke into laughter and said to Elder Jiang, âHaha, she doesnât know a thing. It seems like your book will be mine.â
Elder Jiang began to lecture Yu Gangan fiercely, âYou didnât even check his pulse. Are you making me lose on purpose? You little traitor.â
Yu Gangan replied with a smile, âI donât need to take his pulse because I can tell with one glance that Grandpa Jian has been suffering from a toothache lately.â
Grandpa Jianâs proud smile suddenly froze, stiff like stone, and completely disappeared from his face.
He stared at Elder Jiang and said, âYou told her.â
âI didnât know that you still have a toothache,â Elder Jiang protested innocently.
He looked at Yu Gangan and said, âHurry and explain how you know.â
âChinese medicine uses the methods of look, listen, question, and feeling the patientâs pulse to completely determine a personâs energy and essence. Although I havenât checked your pulse, I can tell from your face that your internal heat is strong because your eyes are red and swollen, the corner of your mouth is cracking and crusting, and I also noticed that you were unwilling to drink tea. Of course, the most important telltale sign was your habit of supporting your right face with your hand. People with toothache generally have this subconscious habit. Your gums are painfully swollen because of the excessive heat in your body. I suggest you drink more water and eat plainly flavored food over the next two days; avoid fishy and spicy food.â
Elder Jiang laughed out loud.
He looked at Grandpa Jian in an extremely proud manner and said, âThank you for your âSpring, Grass, Lake and Birdsâ painting, old friend.â

Grandpa Jian puffed up his beard and opened his eyes wide, âIâm not convinced. Toothache isnât an illness.â
Seeing the joy on Elder Jiangâs face, he looked like he liked this young woman. He even said she was his future granddaughter-in-law. Perhaps, he should get his grandson to steal her from him and make her the granddaughter-in-law of the Jian Family instead.
[Letâs see how proud Old Man Jiang would be then.]
Grandpa Jian put up with the discomfort in his heart and asked Yu Gangan with a smile, âYoung woman, do you have a boyfriend? My grandson is not bad. He is a soldier. I think he is a good match for you. A soldier and a doctor are a match made in heaven.â
