As soon as Gao Mingde returned to the Gao family's old house, the old lady Gao asked him to hand over the medical case containing the diagnosis records, medical prescriptions, and prescriptions, Gao Mingde said with an embarrassed face: "The night before yesterday at the inn, the package I was carrying was stolen, and the most important thing in it was the thick medical case. ”

Seeing the suspicion and anger on the face of the old lady Gao, Gao Mingde was a little blocked, he did think about "forgetting" to bring those medical cases, but after thinking about it again, he still brought it, he didn't want to make his father angry after all. I didn't want to think that when he was about to arrive in Nanyang, the whole thick medical case was missing, and he never thought that his father would be furious and foul spoken to him on the spot, angrily scolding him for being wolf-hearted and coveting his eldest brother's position in charge.

Gao Mingde was heartbroken, he couldn't figure out that he just lost the medical case, what does it have to do with the position of the eldest brother?

In addition to being heartbroken, he thought of the statements he heard on the way back to Nanyang, all of which said that his medical skills were taught by his eldest brother, implying that his eldest brother's medical skills were higher than him, but he was high-profile and famous. The farther south and closer to Nanyang, the more this kind of rumor becomes, and there is even a saying that Gao Mingyuan is a "tall divine doctor", and he is a "high and small divine doctor".

Of course, if he had rushed all the way back to Nanyang, he shouldn't have heard so much. But since he saved Pei Suran and Cheng Sleeve, he felt two more strange uneasiness in his heart, and Shu Yao's intentional or unintentional emotion would always echo in his ears from time to time. When I arrived in the south, especially when I got close to Nanyang, I thought of the words of that friend from the rivers and lakes, and I couldn't help but slow down the trip, and deliberately went to restaurants, teahouses and other places where more people chatted about gossip, but the more I listened, the heavier my heart became.

Once, he deliberately let one of his servants run to "join in the fun". Ask Gao Mingyuan what examples of successful treatment of incurable diseases. is called the "tall miracle doctor". As a result, he was "sneered" with contempt by several people and said: "The magic medicine of the high and small divine doctors is all taught by the high and small divine doctors." He was able to cure those cases, and it was all in the way of the high divine doctor, you say, what other cases do you need to prove? ”

Gao Mingde smiled and asked, "How do you know?" How can you be sure? ”

Several people were stunned, and one of them pouted: "What Old Lady Gao said herself, can it be fake?" ”

……

When the old lady Gao was angry, Gao Mingde's mind replayed this kind of thing over and over again, and then thought of the statement of the brother in the next room who also came back to worship his ancestors on the road yesterday about compiling the rules and rituals of the "Gao Family's Medical Codex". He suddenly opened his mouth and suddenly woke up: for the sake of his eldest brother, his father wants to turn himself into a second sleeve and make wedding clothes for his eldest brother. No wonder his medical case was lost, and his father would suspect that he was deliberate, and he would be so angry.

The rules of the Gao family, the Gao family's medical classics are in the hands of each generation of the family, and the Gao family is also the best in Chinese medicine for a generation. The head of the family has two obligations, one is to choose the next head of the family according to talent and medical skills, and the other is to "compile" Gao's medical codex. To say that it is a "compilation" is actually just an addition. Add to the new medical prescriptions and prescriptions that are not in the records of the ancestors, but which you have pondered and created by yourself. Generally, the medical skills of famous doctors are accumulated and passed down from generation to generation.

Of course. The "compilation" of the Gao family's medical canon and the determination of the next head of the family are major events in the clan, not something that the head of the family can do quietly. The handover of the head of the family is to worship the ancestors, or it happens to be completed at an important ancestor worship ceremony like this year, and there must be the witness of the patriarch and all the clan elders. What they witnessed was that the medical prescriptions and prescriptions added by the head of the family were valuable, and that the new head of the family was indeed the best of the descendants of the same generation.

Speaking of these rituals, the clan brother also said meaningfully at that time: "With a miracle doctor like you, your eldest brother wants to be in charge, I don't know if you can serve the public?" It's a lot of pressure, and you have to prove that you're better than you. ”

Gao Mingde now understands why his father asked his two nephews to go to him three times and twice to get the medical case, this time if it wasn't for the medical case and the royal gift of the "Divine Doctor Zeshi" gold medal, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to come back to participate in the sacrifice. How could his father give him the opportunity to influence his eldest brother to be in charge of the family?

Gao Mingde's heart sank little by little, although he was not a "stupid" sleeve, but if he handed over all these years of medical cases to his father, the eldest brother had his medical prescriptions, prescriptions, and diagnosis and treatment steps and basis, it was easy to turn those things into his own, not to mention that now it was rumored that his medical skills and prescriptions came from his eldest brother.

And when he finds out all this, he will be difficult to argue, and people will only say that he is ungrateful, and he does not even care about brotherhood for the sake of fame and profit, and he does not even recognize the eldest brother who taught him medical skills.

Even if he has new prescriptions and prescriptions in the future that his eldest brother can't come up with, it is just "blue out of blue", and he can't forget his eldest brother's kindness. Without so many prescriptions and prescriptions given to him by his eldest brother before, without his eldest brother "fulfilling" his name as a miracle doctor, where could he have so many opportunities? Where can "green out of blue"?

At that moment, Gao Mingde was extremely glad that the medical case was stolen, allowing him to recognize his father and brother, his own situation, and his position in the Gao family.

Gao Mingde, who suddenly woke up, was no longer cowardly and sorry in front of his father and brother, and naturally he was unwilling to rewrite the medical case behind closed doors as his father requested, or to "discuss" with his eldest brother about the diagnosis and treatment cases over the years, as well as the network with various famous nobles, and ran out all day long in the name of "finally returning to his hometown to visit relatives and friends".

Old lady Gao and Gao Mingyuan gritted their teeth in anger, but they were helpless, Gao Mingde was no longer the silent and easy-to-handle young man he was back then, and now because of his medical skills, he has made friends and is famous all over the world, and even the royal family gives him two points of face, can they still put him under house arrest? What should I do if a guest comes to him?

Knowing that Gao Mingde is back, local officials and squires have also come to visit one after another, these people are all well-informed people, even if the Gao family has repeatedly rumored that Gao Mingde's medical skills are taught by Gao Mingyuan, but Gao Mingde not only has medical skills, but also has a relationship with those big families, affection, such as the Marquis of Yongping, the three brothers and sisters of Fuxing Guijun are said to treat him as a brother with a different surname.

What made them even more angry was that Gao Mingde deliberately praised his brother Gao Mingyuan when he visited relatives and friends, or when guests came to visit, he deliberately and unintentionally praised his brother Gao Mingyuan for following his grandfather and father to study medicine in the pharmacy since he was a child, and he forgot to sleep and eat, he didn't see his brother twice a year, and this time he came back to worship his ancestors is the time when brothers have met and talked the most in more than 20 years. He also joked that he was five or six years old and chewed on medical books by himself, and he was very envious of Gao Mingyuan's grandfather and father to teach him.

On two or three occasions, Gao Mingde said these things in front of Mrs. Gao and Gao Mingyuan, who made them find all kinds of excuses to stay and stare at them as soon as they saw a "distinguished guest" coming to talk to Gao Mingde.

The old lady Gao and the eldest son looked at the doubts and "I see" that flashed on the faces of the guests, and they wanted to tear Gao Mingde apart, but they couldn't do anything, because what he said was the truth. They dared to talk nonsense behind his back, but they really didn't have the face to "confront" him face to face. The two couldn't help but wonder: Gao Mingde has only been back in Nanyang for a few days, what do he know?

Don't blame Old Lady Gao and Gao Mingyuan for making mistakes, it's really that Gao Mingde has always had a cold temperament, doesn't like to socialize, and only focuses on medical skills, where will he take the initiative to talk to people like now? Even if others find him, it should just be a few perfunctory words, where did he think that he would take the initiative to talk about his own affairs?

Since Gao Mingde has begun to release words to fight back, the ghost face entrusted by Shu Yao and Liu's mother naturally wants to help him, and the words Gao Mingde said quickly spread throughout Nanyang, and a lot of "corroborative" facts from the ghost face investigation were added.

Of course, Ghost Face sent these situations back to the capital as well.

After reading it, Liu's mother was angry at the shamelessness of Mrs. Gao and Gao Mingyuan, praised the ghost's act of stealing the doctor, and was glad that Gao Mingde was not "too stupid and confused".

Shu Yao believed that Gao Mingde should have learned a lesson from the story of Cheng Sleeve and Pei Suran, but he knew how to guard and fight back, but he just didn't want to be passive, and he definitely wouldn't have thought that his father and brother would jump over the wall in a hurry and do anything cruel to him.

Shu Yao immediately asked Mother Liu to give instructions to the ghost face and keep an eye on Gao Mingyuan, in case he was red-eyed and killed Gao Mingde.

Mother Liu was still a little puzzled at the time, thinking that it would not be good for the Gao family to harm Gao Mingde at this time, didn't they even get the medical case yet?

Shu Yao sneered: "The situation has developed like this, will they still think that they can repair the relationship with Big Brother Gao and take care of Big Brother Gao?" Since Big Brother Gao can't be used, Big Brother Gao's existence will only directly affect Gao Mingyuan's reputation, and even affect him as the head of the family. ”

Mother Liu quickly figured it out, nodded and said: "So they only have two ways to go, one is to make the means to make the high god doctor obediently listen to them, this way, uh, is very difficult, if the brain is broken, it can't help them, right?" Unless he abolishes the hands and feet of the high god doctor, puts him under house arrest, and threatens him with his wife and children. ”

As she spoke, Mother Liu shuddered and continued, "There is another way, which is to let Doctor Gao die, at least to keep Gao Mingyuan's status in the clan and his reputation in Nanyang." Well, maybe it can also annex the property of the high god doctor, after all, orphans and widows are easy to bully, and there are many examples of this. ”

Shu Yao sighed secretly: Isn't it? In his previous life, Gao Mingde's wife and children were expelled for nothing.

After the instructions to Ghost Face were issued, Shu Yao asked Liu's mother to send someone to keep an eye on the Gao Mansion in Jingli and secretly protect the Li family and the two children, just in case. There have been too many changes in this life, and Shu Yao is not sure that Gao Mingyuan still uses the same methods in his previous life.

There has been no movement in Gaofu, and the news of Ghost Face has arrived again, Shu Yao is a little excited, but she is not very nervous, she believes in Ghost Face's ability and means, not to mention that according to Liu's mother, Ghost Face's life and death brother is in Nanyang, then Nanyang is equal to half of Ghost Face's territory.

Sure enough, Mother Liu snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You were calculated by sister, that Gao Mingyuan is really insidious and shameless, but unfortunately, he was calculated by the ghost face, haha." (To be continued......)
