"When typhoid fever first occurs, the pathogen is half on the surface and half inside, with symptoms of chest tightness, bitter vomiting, and heart palpitations, which are typical of Shaoyang syndrome. However, now that it's been over half a month since the illness started, the cold has turned into heat, and the pathogen has moved from being half on the surface and half inside to being stuck in the interior, adding Yangming syndrome. Feel the pulse of this child, it's surging and large, indicating Shaoyang-Yangming combined syndrome. Minor Bupleurum Decoction may not be effective, but if we use Major Bupleurum Decoction, recovery will be easier." said Gu Zhenzhi.
Her articulate words flowed smoothly, and didn't seem like they were recited from memory at all.
Gu Yanjun's heart slightly stirred, and he secretly had a few moments of doubt: Can Jie sister really cure illnesses?
"I'll remember that, and when Old Man Xia comes back for a check-up, I'll tell him all about it." Gu Yanwen smiled at his daughter, then continued, "Jin'er, you've only been studying with your grandfather for two years, but you can already say so many things - you're really clever."
No one believed Gu Jinzhi's argumentation skills, they were just praising her exceptional memorization abilities.
Gu Jin smiled and responded to his father's praise.
Song Pan'er understood and was very unhappy; she turned to see her daughter acting as if nothing had happened, thinking that she must be holding back her grievances, and felt even more reluctant.
She has been holding a grudge against Gu Yanwen and Gu Xunzhi!
"You got up early and didn't eat, I asked Song Mama to personally make some snacks to fill you up! A good person like you can't go around with an empty stomach." Song Tan'er didn't want Gu Yan Zhen to continue talking, so she changed the subject and said, "Xiu Ge is here with me, you absolutely cannot have any accidents."
Gu Yanwen nodded slightly, knowing Song Pan'er's kind intentions.
Song Pan'er gave a signal to Song's mother, asking her to go downstairs to the kitchen and prepare some food for Gu Yanwen.
Song's mother said so and turned around to leave.
Only Gu Yanjin, Song Pan'er, Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi were left in the house.
He is still sleeping.
Her father didn't believe her, and her grandfather refused to change his six-year rule of not going out for diagnosis just for Gu Xun. Gu Jin felt that staying here couldn't help much more, and she was quite bored with nothing to do but stare blankly.
She said to Gu Yanwen and Song Pan'er, "Dad, mom, I think there's still half a silk handkerchief that hasn't been embroidered well. Master Cheng asked me to give it to her in a few days, so I'll go back first. If Xiu Ge'r is better, please send someone to tell me, and I can rest assured."
Gu Yanwen nodded.
"In case of relapse, try using Da Chai Hu Tang." Gu Jinzhi reminded his father before leaving.
She mentioned so many illnesses, and as a non-medical person, Gu Yanwen must have forgotten them.
Ke Xia Lao Ye Zi gave Gu Xuan Zhi Xiao Chai Hu Tang, he has already memorized it. Da Chai Hu Tang and Xiao Chai Hu Tang differ by only one word in their names, he should also be able to remember it.
Gu Jizhen emphasized it again, deepening his memory.
Gu Yanwen nodded again and said softly: "Go, I'm here with your mother."
Gu Jinzhi came out of the warm pavilion.
Haitang waited outside, saw Gu Jinzhi come out, and personally helped her get into the carriage. She called for the servant girl to bring over the trained mule to pull the cart, sending Gu Jinzhi back to her room, and she also wanted to personally follow the cart to serve her.
Gu Jinzhi knew that Hai Tang was always clever and capable, and her mother couldn't bear to part with her, so she smiled and said: "No need, Sister Hai Tang, this courtyard is just a few steps away, you can just send a little maid to follow."
Haitang didn't persist either and called a young maid to escort Gu Jin out of the outer study's courtyard before turning back.

Xiangling Prefecture's Xia family, hanging pot relieving the world for over a hundred years.
It's a pity that later generations are mostly mediocre and few can live up to their ancestors. By now, this generation has already declined, and there is little good medical skill left to speak of.
Originally, Yanling Prefecture only had Xia's Hundred Herbs Hall, which was thriving. People from Xicheng and even Suzhou and Jinling Prefectures would travel far to seek medicine at Xia's Hundred Herbs Hall.
Now all this splendor has vanished.
Not to mention other prefectures, even in Yanling Prefecture, there aren't many people visiting Xia's Hundred Herb Hall.
The Zhou family pharmacy often made ordinary medicine and distributed it to the common people. The illnesses of the common people were mostly minor everyday ailments. For those who truly had difficulties, the Zhou family did not charge for medication or consultation fees, accumulating a good reputation.
Others think that Zhou's medicine shop is very kind, since they are willing to give away free medicine, it's natural that they won't cheat people out of their money. Zhou's medicine shop has already surpassed Xia's in popularity and even has the momentum to crush Xia's business.
Mr. and Mrs. Xia often get angry about this!
He also had no choice but to watch as Zhou Shi grew more and more powerful day by day.
The Xia family is not as wealthy as the Zhou family, so they can't afford to do such a good deed of giving out free medicine. The old master of the Xia family, whose name is roughly similar, is sixty years old this year and has a reputation equal to that of the old master of the Zhou family.
When Gu Yanzhun took the child to Xia's Baicao Hall, he startled Mr. Xia, who was sitting in the main hall, and hurriedly told the shopkeeper; The shopkeeper was also stunned, thinking that recently, the reputation of Master Gu and Seventh Miss has been known all over the city, how could Gu Yanzhun bring a child to Xia's house?
Is this looking for trouble?
The shopkeeper hurriedly went to tell the master of the house.
The current master of Xia's Hundred Herb Hall is Xia Peiliang, the third son of Old Master Xia. As soon as Xia Peiliang heard that it was someone from the Gu family, he immediately went to report to his father.
At this moment, Xia Lao's outer study was packed with people.
The day after tomorrow is his sixtieth birthday, he has more than ten proud disciples, all of whom are famous doctors in other places. Each has their own achievements and some fame, they agreed to come back to celebrate the old man's birthday.
As they all came from afar, they all arrived two days in advance, regardless of whether it was early or late.
"There are still Wu Shidi and Cheng Shidi who haven't arrived. One is in Nanchang, the other in Jinzhou, they will definitely arrive on the day of the birthday celebration, Master can rest assured." Eldest Brother Sun Ke told the situation to Old Man Xia.
The old man looked at the seven or eight students in the room, all of whom had reached adulthood and were skilled in their craft. He couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia: when he was young and just starting out as a doctor, he had always dreamed that one day his reputation would spread far and wide, and his disciples would be found throughout the land.
Hasn't this wish come true for the most part now?
Old Master Xia felt relieved and happy in his heart.
Then Xia Peiliang came in.
"Dad, the shopkeeper on the cabinet said that Gu's family's third master Gu Yanjin came with a child who is dying, saying he wants to see a doctor." Xia Peiliang said somewhat urgently, "Dad, has the Gu family come to make trouble?"
Gu Jin's treatment cured Hu Jie, and Xia Lao Yezi suffered some cold ridicule.
Old Xia was naturally unwilling to give up and struck back with a few words, speaking ill of Gu Shifei.
It spread so quickly that it reached the ears of the Gu family, so they brought the child here to let the child die in Xia's Hundred Herb Hall and ruin the reputation of Hundred Herb Hall?
Old Lao's face suddenly turned red with anger: "Get back here, don't look!"
His students asked what was going on.
Xia Peiliang briefly and concisely recounted the events.
"Master, you have been renowned for your exceptional medical skills and accumulated reputation over the years. Are you still afraid of being criticized by that mediocre doctor Gu?" Sun Ke, the eldest disciple, spoke up in defense of his master. "With so many of us disciples present, can we still be taken advantage of? If you save the life of the Gu family's child, let's see how Gu Shi Fei will speak then! He can't even save his own child and yet he dares to make demands on you - isn't this a huge joke in the medical community?"
Old Master Xia's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this.
He should take action!
As soon as he recovered, he would shout it out so that the whole Yanling Mansion knew: What a wonderful hand to bring back spring! The ones who cured Song Daitai and Hu Jie were all fakes!
Who doesn't know that the Song and Hu families are relatives and friends of the Gu family?
Really capable, how did you bring Gu's family's own child to Xia Shi Bai Cao Hall to save his life?
"Go and take a look!" Old Man Xia became excited and went ahead.
Gu Yanwen was covered in sweat, holding a limp child, and upon seeing Old Man Xia, he wished he could kowtow: "Divine Doctor Xia, please save this child!"
Old Master Xia took a look at the child and thought it was just a case of Shaoyang syndrome caused by typhoid fever. He became even more confident in his heart.
"Mr. is......" Xia Lao Yezi asked Gu Yanwen on purpose.
"It was late when I arrived at the Gu's residence in Ma Yuan Lane. This is young master Gu Xun." Gu Yan Zhen replied respectfully.
Is this sick person Gu Shi Fei's grandson?
Can't even save his own grandson?
Xia Lao Yezi was about to burst out laughing: "Gu Shi Fei, ah! Hu Xiang's illness made me lose face so badly. Who knew the retribution wouldn't be satisfied and would instead fall upon your own grandson!"
You're asking me to be hypocritical and greedy for fame!
Look, even God can't bear to watch this!
