Gu Yanwen was very unhappy with Song Paner for asking for so much money all at once.
He has always been gentle and magnanimous, taking pride in this, but Song Xiang'er is not one to forgive easily. Gu Yanxin is dissatisfied with her personality, but doesn't dare provoke her, nor does he dare speak carelessly about her.
He is waiting to see how the mother and daughter will end up.
In case it goes wrong, it can also give Song Pan'er a lesson, and she may be gentle and soft in the future. He comforted her for a while, and maybe she would be as gentle as water.
Gu Yan thought beautifully, and as a result, she heard the news that Hu Jie had recovered.
Gu Yan was shocked and speechless: Really? Was it Gu Jinzhi who cured her? The less-than-twelve-year-old Gu Jinzhi, had he really cured Hu Jie?
Why is it so unbelievable?
He wanted to ask Song Deng'er what was going on, so he returned to the inner courtyard.
Not yet through the gate, I heard Song Pan'er's bright and cheerful laughter.
She was telling Song's mother and several older maids about how Gu Jin cured Hu Jie, and when she got to the exciting part, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Yanwen couldn't help but be moved by this joyful laughter, and his lips curled up slightly.
He strode into the courtyard.
Seeing him return, Song Xun'er reined in a bit.
It turned out that Gu Yan was asking her about the process of Gu Jin replacing Hu Jie for treatment.
Song Pan'er patiently told the story again.
What she said was so vivid and lively that Gu Yan suddenly felt a sense of pride: his daughter was a divine doctor, and would surely make a name for herself in the future!
But then he thought again and felt that it wasn't right: in the past, Gu Jin's medical skills were not impressive, and only in the last two years had he followed the old master to learn medicine, how could he have such superb medical skills?
Gu Yanzhen also followed his grandfather to study for two or three years when he was young. At that time, his grandfather taught him Neijing, Nanjing and Jing Shi Zi Ji.
He was finally interested in the history of Confucian classics, but lacked enthusiasm for medical classics. He did not take the path of medicine, but instead took the path of imperial examination.
Now thinking back, at that time he didn't even understand what a pulse was, now it's even more forgotten.
But teaching some basic medical classics, how can Gu Jinzhong be so powerful?
Is this child a reincarnation of a divine doctor?
"Is it just giving Miss Hu a pill and she'll be fine?" Gu Yanwen was somewhat skeptical.
Song Pan'er was in a great mood today and wouldn't argue with Gu Yan's suspicious tone, smiling and saying: "Isn't that so? I heard that the medicine pill was personally prepared by the old master..."
No wonder!
It's old master again!
In order to make his granddaughter famous, the old man is really going all out. In the past, he didn't care about his sons and didn't help them with their careers, letting them fend for themselves. Gu Yan's older brothers have some complaints about the old man.
Nowadays, for Gu Jin's sake, Old Master has really racked his brains!
The old saying "intergenerational affection" is actually true.
But how could Old Master possibly have gone to see Miss Hu, and yet after listening to Gu Jin's account, he was able to accurately prescribe the right medicine? What kind of medical skills does he possess?!
Gu Yanxin suddenly became overjoyed: His brothers had all misunderstood the old master. The old master being able to be promoted to Duke of Chengguo and being appointed as a supervisor in the Imperial Hospital was not just luck.
He is really capable!
However, Gu Jin can take a look and come back to recount it clearly, which is also a skill!
At least Gu Yanzhong can't!
Father's medical skills are excellent, and his daughter is also very clever, Gu Yanwen was delighted.
"I'm thinking of going to offer incense to our ancestors tomorrow, it's all thanks to their blessings that my sister is so clever!" Song Pan'er said to Gu Yanwen, "Let's go to the Temple of Heavenly Peace again and add some more money for incense!"
Tianning Temple is the largest temple in Yanling Prefecture, and has been prosperous for hundreds of years from the Tang Dynasty to the present.
The incense is too strong and the crowd is noisy, it may not be very safe. Gu Yanzi said: "Let's go. Tomorrow, bring more wives and carefully tell people to rush."
Song Pan'er sweetly responded with an "okay".
Gu Yan thought of something and coughed lightly, saying: "Instead of asking for more silver, it's better to do good deeds. Sister Jin treated Miss Hu's illness, which was a good deed, but you asked for so much silver from her."
Song Pan'er immediately understood what Gu Yanwen wanted to say.
She said, "Do you think I'm really after the little money they have? The Hu family isn't wealthy, it's not like they can easily take out this kind of cash. They've gone all out to give me this, and even then, my heart doesn't feel at ease when I spend it! It's just that Jiang is so detestable, I'll teach her a lesson, make her worry for a few days, and she'll return it herself."
Gu Yanwen smiled and walked forward, pulling Song Wanting's hand: "Your heart is also kind, but you don't want to suffer a little loss, what's the point of coming?"
Song Pan'er just likes to be particular about small things, this is her personality.
She also smiled: "I'm willing!"
Gu Yanwen didn't say anything else. That night, he didn't go to the small study room to read books. After dinner, the couple sent the children back and went to bed early.
One night of tender love, no need to mention affection.
Hu Jie's illness shocked not only the medical community of Yangling, but also ordinary people who heard rumors about it, although they didn't quite understand what was going on.
At first, when Hu Jie fell ill, they invited Old Man Zhou and Old Man Xia to come and take a look.
Two old doctors said it was a severe case of throat lock, and since the throat was sealed, medicine couldn't be administered, so they couldn't treat him. The other doctors, based on their past experience, knew that in such situations, they shouldn't intervene, as one careless move could result in the patient's death, ruining their own reputation, so none of them dared to take action.
But those doctors had never seen Hu Ke in person, and the severity of her illness was also hearsay. After Hu Ke recovered, there were people who sourly speculated that she hadn't been seriously ill to begin with.
Most people were shocked and went to the Zhou or Xia family to ask about the original illness.
The most shocking thing is Mr. Zhou and his son, as well as Old Man Xia.
They were incredulous when they heard it; but later someone ran in and asked, and then they knew that the news was true.
Especially Old Man Zhou, he loved to get to the bottom of things and figure out what was going on. He called his eldest son, Zhou Zhengyuan, and the two went to the Hu's house.
Hu Jie was lying half-reclined on the bed resting, but her complexion was normal, and there was no sign of illness.
Old Master Zhou's white beard is now a target of his own hatred, and he wishes it could be plucked out at this moment.
How is this possible!
Although Master Zhou's medical skills may not be well-known, he likes to collect medical books. In the past, medical records of such a severe throat obstruction were all fatal cases.
For several hundred years, no one has been able to cure it.
How did you manage to save him?
The daughter recovered from her illness, and Mrs. Hu's sharp tongue was temporarily retracted, as she transformed into a noble and gentle lady, smiling and greeting Old Man Zhou.
"Madam, if you don't mind, I'd like to take Miss's pulse again," said Old Man Zhou.
Mrs. Hu would naturally not refuse.
Old Master Zhou sat on the edge of Hu Die's bed, carefully feeling her pulse. After a while, his face turned grave and strange: "This is impossible! How can this be treated?"
Then he turned his face and asked Mrs. Hu, "Who is the noble person after all?"
Mrs. Hu scolded you, this old man who refuses to die, when he saw my daughter was seriously ill, he didn't even open the prescription and ran away, your son is also a person of similar moral character. Now that my daughter has recovered, all of you come to watch the excitement!
Her smile remained unchanged as she said, "It's what Gu Jia's seventh daughter saw."
"What's with the seven aunties taking care of the house?" Old Man Zhou was taken aback for a moment.
Is there still someone who calls herself "Miss"? What a weirdo.
"Ah, it's the young lady from the Gu family. She's twelve years old this year and is the seventh in line among the Gu clan, so they call her Gu Jia Qiū Niáng. Haven't you heard of the Gu family of Chengguo Gong? They live in Ma Yuan Xiang and only moved here six years ago..."
Old Zhou's face suddenly turned bright red with nostalgia.
He's actually worse than a twelve-year-old girl?
"......I heard that last time Mrs. Song's illness was also cured by that Seventh Girl?" asked Zhou Zhengyuan from the side.
Madam Hu clapped her hands: "Exactly, exactly! Doctor Zhou is indeed insightful!"
Zhou Zhengyuan detected the sarcasm in her words: not specializing in medicine, but being extremely familiar with gossip! Zhou Zhengyuan was also annoyed.
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it; I'm just not as skilled as others!
His complexion is also poor.
Mrs. Hu was pleased and slightly forgot herself, revealing her original attitude, saying to Old Man Zhou: "Do you want to give my daughter another prescription? Ah, look at my memory... You're not good at prescribing medicine..."
Old Zhou's eyes also flashed with anger.
The father and son were so angry with Mrs. Hu that they left the Taishou's mansion in a huff.
Mrs. Hu was overjoyed and felt a sense of relief she hadn't experienced in a long time. Gu's family had finally done something right, and she wanted to thank Song Xiang'er in person.
In the afternoon, Hu Zeyi returned from the government office. Mrs. Hu told Mr. Hu about the two people from the Zhou family who came to visit today and repeated her sarcastic remarks.
"Song's family is indeed impressive, and I couldn't help but praise her daughter lavishly." Mrs. Hu sighed, "You know what? That little girl from the Gu family really has some skills! But who knows if she learned it herself or if that old man in their household taught her behind the scenes."
They didn't study medicine and don't understand the intricacies, thinking that Gu Jin's diagnosis of Hu Jie was good, going back to tell Master Gu about it, and then Master Gu writing a prescription would be a simple matter. Little did they know that there are deep complexities here, being able to explain clearly is a remarkable skill.
Hu Ze's face didn't have a hint of smile.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her husband's gloomy face, Mrs. Hu pushed him and said, "Now that our daughter is better, you seem unhappy?"
Hu Ze Yu looked at Mrs. Hu's excited face, thinking of Song Wan Er's outrageous demands, and said: "There's something I should tell you..."
Mrs. Hu had a bad premonition.
