Qin Shen Si, courtesy name Mei Qing, ancestral home in Jiangning, later moved to Jinling.

  The ancestors of the Qin family were barefoot doctors in Yaoling Xiang. The great-grandfather of Qin Shenshi married a fallen scholar's daughter, had a virtuous wife, and gradually became prominent, opening a small Qin's Hundred Herb Hall in his later years, laying the foundation for the family business.

  His grandfather abandoned medicine and entered officialdom, becoming the head of the Ministry of Rites, a sixth-rank official, and then moved his wife and children to the capital; His uncle succeeded his father's will and took over his great-grandfather's Baicao Hall. After his grandfather stabilized his foundation in the capital, his uncle moved Qinshi Baicao Hall into the capital.

  At that time, the Qin family's property was slightly prosperous.

  Qin Shenyi's father learned his medical skills from his uncle-grandfather.

  His father forbade his brothers from entering officialdom again and had them both study medicine.

  Qin Shenyi and his elder brother Qin Weiyi were successfully admitted to Tai Hospital.

  Afterwards, Father passed away.

  Qin Shenshi was ostracized by his elder brother and stepmother, and he moved out of the Qin family mansion with his wife. As the son of a concubine, neither his stepmother nor his elder brother had ever considered giving him half of the family property. Once their father passed away, his elder brother made things difficult for him in every way.

  Big brother is more skilled in socializing and has a wide network of connections at Tai Hospital. After his father's death, Qin Sheng clearly felt that there were always people targeting him everywhere at Tai Hospital.

  He is a soft-hearted and timid person, being ostracized by others without knowing how to fight back.

  His situation became increasingly difficult, with his brothers turning against him and being too impatient. He didn't know what to do. In the end, he listened to his wife's advice and avoided his eldest brother.

  Later, Emperor Taizong ordered Ming Hui Long Gongzhu to build a mansion in Yanling and wanted to select two imperial physicians.

  Zhang Taizhen is from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and is nearly sixty years old. His relatives are all in Suzhou, where there is a famous "divine doctor" named Zhang Yuan, who is actually Zhang Taizhen's nephew. He has strong homesickness, so he asked the previous emperor for permission to go to the residence of Princess Minghui of Yanling.

  That was an opportunity, and after discussing with his wife, Qin Shenshi also petitioned to come to Yanling to serve the princess.

  The previous emperor readily granted it.

  From then on, he moved with his wife and children to Yanling Prefecture, abandoning the Qin family's property and also avoiding his elder brother.

  Less than a year later, the previous emperor passed away, and the crown prince ascended to the throne. Half a year later, Guo Shifei, the supervisor of the Imperial Hospital, retired and returned to Yanling Fu, and the new supervisor of the Imperial Hospital was Qin Weiqi, the elder brother of Qin Shenqi.

  After some thought, if he were still at Tai Hospital, his brother would probably have lost even the title of Taiyi. The decision to step back initially was indeed wise.

  If I were to seriously compete with my elder brother, perhaps I would have been defeated long ago.

  After that, Qin Sheng's dealings with others became more tolerant and gave people the impression of being a good old man. His medical skills were very good, far surpassing those of his older brother, but due to his personality, he was not good at using drastic measures and only sought stability in his prescriptions, which discounted his excellent medical skills. Gradually, Princess Minghui and her husband no longer held him in high esteem.

  They would rather watch Zhao Daoyuan.

  All these years, except for his wife, no one was willing to help him or promote him.

  Like Gu Jin, speaking well of him in front of the princess and her husband, defending his diagnosis, and giving all the credit to him, for the first time.

  Qin Shen was deeply moved for a long time and even told his wife Xia Shi about it when he got home.

  "Mrs. Qin was incredulous: 'Such a young child, with medical skills so good, and yet so kind in his dealings?'" Qin Shenshi ranked third among the clansmen.

  Madam Qin was not quite convinced.

  Qin Sheng nodded four times, very affirmative, and then told Gu Jin again about the matter of Hu Jie and Song Daitai being cured.

  "I've also heard," said Mrs. Qin, "that Old Lady Song's illness was caused by catching a cold. Now everyone in Yanling Prefecture is afraid of colds. So it was she, after all - the granddaughter of Gu Tidian?"

  Qin Sheng nodded four times.

  "No wonder!" exclaimed Mrs. Qin, "You always say that Gu Tidian is a man of high moral character and noble integrity. As his granddaughter, it's not surprising that she has such a strong and steady personality."

  "It's just that he's too young......" Qin Shen sighed, "At this age, it's possible to be gentle and obedient; but having exceptional medical skills and being meticulous in examining people is rare! However, there are precedents: Gan Luo was 12 years old when he became a prime minister, Xiang Yu was 7 years old when he became a teacher of Confucius. Heroes have always emerged from among the young since ancient times."

  Madam Qin smiled and didn't say anything else.

  The husband and wife went to bed, and spent the whole night without a word.

  The next day at dawn, Qin Sheng got up and went to the mansion on the other side of Qingguo Lane.

  The princess was still asleep, and her husband was by her side. Qin Sheng was also shocked: did the medicine take effect so quickly?

  He hurried to the princess's courtyard.

  The fruit saw the princess sleeping peacefully, and the son-in-law had set up a long couch to rest in front of the bed.

  Qin Sheng sat outside in the eastern wing drinking tea for about half an hour when the son-in-law woke up.

  He invited Qin Sheng and others to have some breakfast together.

  Another half-hour passed before the princess woke up.

  After waking up, she was clear-headed and bright-eyed, with a warm smile on her face that was even more gentle.

  The whole family including the son-in-law came forward to congratulate the princess on her recovery.

  The princess was overjoyed, then she asked Qin Sheng to come forward: "This time thanks to Dr. Qin. You are a miracle worker." Then she said to Chen Mama beside her, "Go and get 100 taels of gold, I want to reward Dr. Qin."

  One hundred and twenty taels of gold...

  Qin Sheng was so frightened that he jumped up, this reward is too heavy!

  One hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for over a thousand taels of silver, enough for him to live on for ten years or more!

  He hastily knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I dare not accept! In fact, I have been hiding something. The reason for your illness was discovered by Miss Gu's seventh daughter. She was afraid that I would be in trouble, so she intentionally called it an auxiliary medicine. Your ability to sleep peacefully last night is all thanks to Miss Gu's seventh daughter, I do not dare take credit!"

  Princess Ming Hui looked slightly surprised and glanced at General Jiang.

  The groom's face remained unchanged, but there were some satisfied smile lines at the corners of his eyes.

  Seeing the princess look at him, he took the initiative to say: "Qin Taishang is too modest! This is the princess's reward, you can take it. You have been in the princess's mansion for more than six years, and you have always been diligent and careful in your work. These rewards are what you deserve! From now on, be even more diligent in serving the princess! Hurry up and thank the princess for her reward!"

  "Yes, don't decline!" Princess Ming Hui also said.

  Qin Shenshi did not dare to speak again and nervously put away the gold.

  After breakfast, the princess drank another dose of Longdan Xie Gan Tang. Since there was nothing serious, Jiang Shu let Qin Shen temporarily return home and come back for a re-examination in the evening.

  As soon as Qin Shenshi left, Jiang Fuma smiled and said to the princess: "He's too honest! I've never seen anyone more honest than him!"

  "Are there not enough cunning and evil people in this world?" Princess Ming Hui was quite satisfied, "Honesty is indeed rare! I actually like him that way." Then she remembered something and asked Jiang Fuma, "Yesterday when they were writing the prescription, you were also present. What did Gu's seventh daughter say at the time?"

  The Duke of Jiang thought of yesterday's events and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.

  He could see that Gu Jin was maintaining Qin Shen's fourth move.

  Qin Sheng finally confessed today.

  Qin Sheng is indeed an honest and simple-minded person.

  "She first praised Qin Sheng for being steady and not seeking quick results, not remembering fame or profit." Jiang Qilin smiled, "I didn't expect that at her young age, she would have such a broad and kind heart. Then she said that the princess's liver fire was too strong, causing her soul to be unable to rest, leading to insomnia, and then suggested using Longdan Xiegan Tang as an auxiliary medicine..."

  Ming Hui princess was slightly stunned.

  "Qin Sheng thought that the illness was misdiagnosed and the wrong medicine was used, but Miss Gu still managed to come up with a reasonable explanation to defend him." Jiang said, "As they say, people in the same line of work are like enemies, who isn't stepping on others to climb up? I was also shocked by Miss Gu's actions at the time."

  "Good character, all thanks to Old Master Gu's upbringing!" Princess Ming Hui smiled and said, "In this world, there are many with exceptional medical skills, but few with noble character. I quite like Miss Gu Qi. Have someone invite her over for a visit..."

  The Duke of Ginger smiled and said good.

  “…….Her mother, Song Shi, was also said to be a straightforward woman, and she invited her over as well.” Ming Hui Princess called out to Jiang Fuma, saying, “To have given birth to such a daughter, Song Shi is probably also an extraordinary person, please come let me take a look.”

  She was of high status in Yanling Fu, and it's hard to guarantee that others who came into contact with her weren't after something, so Princess Minghui shut the door and refused visitors.

  In fact, she used to love being in the thick of things and having people around her all the time.

  Jiang Erlang smiled and had someone go invite Madame Gu and her daughter.
