Xu Yan rested at his grandfather's house for the night.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to his grandfather and uncle, he took the little scholar out of the city and returned to his hometown by boat.

Xu Yan's harvest on this trip to Hangzhou is still quite large, expanding Miaofengtang's business in Hangzhou, the Gushan Poetry Conference was a blockbuster, and he accepted the big cow Shen Mingchen as an apprentice, and by chance he had a chance encounter with the great master, and he got on the line with Hong Miaoyun, the daughter of the Xixi Hong clan of the Qiantang Wang clan......

At this moment, he can't wait to return home and share the joy of family life with his parents.

It was early winter, the weather was very cold, Xu Yan stayed in the cabin all day and didn't want to show his head, until the boatman docked at the dock in Dinghai County.

He paid the money and disembarked with the little scholar.

It is not far from the dock to Xu's house, but Xu Yan is already like an arrow, and he doesn't want to delay for a moment.

The moment he stepped into the gate of Xu's Mansion, he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable in his heart.

Maybe that's what home is all about.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

Although Hangzhou is good, it is not home after all.

It's just that Xu Yan returned home and felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

There was a gloomy atmosphere in the house, and the subordinates who saw it were also solemn, and they stopped talking.

Xu Yan hurriedly went to find his father, only to find out that his father was sick.

After some inquiry, the mother was willing to reveal that Xu Yan's father, Xu Huaiyuan, occasionally felt a cold ten days ago.

At that time, the Xu family didn't take it too seriously, so they invited Langzhong to take a look, and only said that it would be good to take the medicine according to the prescription for a while.

But who knew that Xu Huaiyuan's condition was getting worse and worse, to the point where he couldn't get out of bed.

Xu Chen wanted to write to Xu Yan several times, but Xu Huaiyuan was afraid that his son would worry and stopped him.

So much so that only now did Xu Yan know the truth.

The ancients used to say that parents are not far away.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Xu Yan felt very guilty in his heart, and knelt at the head of the bed and held his father's hand tightly.

Now Xu Huaiyuan is unconscious, and his face is pale. Xu Yan was very apprehensive in his heart.

"Mother, is Lang Zhongkai's prescription still there?"

"It's all warm medicine, do I want to see it?"

Xu Chen sighed.

Xu Yan nodded.

Xu Chen went to fetch the recipe and handed it to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan unfolded it and saw that it was all some warm tonic medicine and couldn't help frowning.

Although he didn't know much about medicine, he also knew that there were many kinds of wind and cold.

Now that my dad has been taking medicine for a long time, but he is not getting better, but his condition is getting more and more serious, and he must not have the right medicine.

My father was killed by a quack.

"Mother, have you only invited one Lang Zhong these days?"

Xu Yan said anxiously.

Xu Chen shook his head and sighed: "I invited a total of three or five Langzhong, and the prescriptions are all about the same." But your father didn't get any better under it. ”

Xu Yan secretly hated in his heart, these quacks are really hateful.

"But yesterday, a person named Shen Mingchen came to look for you in the mansion, and learned that your father was ill, and said that he wanted to go back to Yinxian County to hire some famous doctor."

Shen Mingchen?

Xu Yan was stunned. immediately reacted, Shen Mingchen should have returned to Yin County, and estimated that it was almost time for him to return to Dinghai County, so he made a special trip.

Unexpectedly, it was just in time for Xu Yan's father to fall ill.

said that when Xu Yan was upset, the little scholar came to report that Shen Mingchen was coming.

This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Although Xu Yan was in a bad mood, Shen Mingchen came all the way and could still see him.

He then instructed Shuangxi to invite Shen Mingchen directly here.

The little scholar nodded and ran away.

After a short time, he brought Shen Mingchen here. He was accompanied by a man who was carrying a medicine box.

He looked young, and although he had a short beard on his chin, he didn't look like he was forty years old.

A famous doctor under the age of forty?

Xu Yan always felt a little unreliable.

Shen Mingchen first saluted Xu Chen, and then bowed to Xu Yan: "En... Well, Xu Gongzi is also back. Yesterday, I came to Dinghai County to look for you, and I happened to see Ling Zun infected with the disease, so I hurriedly rushed back to Yin County to find Langzhong. ”

After a pause, he turned to Lang Zhong on the side and introduced: "This is Mr. Gao, the son of Mr. Gumei, a famous doctor in Ningbo Prefecture. He has always disliked traveling, and only sat in Yin County for consultation. Fortunately, my Shen family has an old relationship with him, so I invited him to come. Why don't you let him show Ling Zun. ”

Mr. Gumei?

Xu Yan felt that this name seemed very familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he reacted, isn't Mr. Gu Mei the famous doctor of the Ming Dynasty, the author of many medical classics such as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Juying", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Festival", "Pox Authenticity" and so on?

In Xu Yan's impression, Gao Wu only had one son, named Gao Zhizhai.

This Gao Zhizhai is also very famous, not only inherited the mantle of his father, but also wrote "Notes on the Soul" and other books.

It can be said that he is a tiger father without a dog, and he is a famous doctor.

"Dare to ask Mr. Gao Zhizhai?"

Gao Langzhong bowed slightly.

Xu Yan couldn't help but be ecstatic.

The name Gao Gumei may not be heard of by ordinary people, but everyone in the Chinese medicine industry should know it. This person has played a role in the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine, making the acupuncture system more and more perfect.

In the Ming generation, the development of acupuncture and moxibustion once fell into a low ebb.

Gao Gumei upholds a different opinion.

He believes that the idea that "the art of living people stops at medicine, so abandon acupuncture and moxibustion and do not talk about it" is absolutely undesirable. At that time, people "could not be cured by medicinal bait, but those who must make their husbands stabbed were helpless and ashamed of their poor skills", that is, they relied too much on drug treatment and neglected acupuncture treatment.

He pointed out that "acupuncture and moxibustion drugs are all internal affairs of doctors", "acupuncture and moxibustion drugs can be both, and then they can be combined with doctors", "acupuncture and moxibustion drugs are given due to illness, and the medicine is good".

Since Gao Zhizhai has inherited the mantle of Gao Gumei, he should also be a master of acupuncture.

"Please also ask my husband to save my father."

Xu Yan gave a deep salute to Gao Zhizhai.

Gao Zhizhai saw that this young man also knew etiquette, so he nodded and said, "Gao should do his best." ”

Xu Yan hurriedly dodged his position and asked Gao Zhizhai to see his father.

But he saw Gao Langzhong sit down on the edge of the bed, unloaded the medicine box, and took out a small box from it.

When he opened the box, he found that there were large and small silver needles neatly inserted inside.

Xu Yan and Xu Chen both subconsciously took a breath of cool air.

Although acupuncture is already a traditional treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, the people of the Ming Dynasty were still relatively resistant to acupuncture.

Xu Yan observed her mother's reaction in time, pulled her sleeve, and signaled her to be calm.

Xu Chen swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

In such a professional matter as medical Taoism, Xu Yan still chooses to fully trust Gao Zhizhai.

After all, the Gao family is also a high-ranking family in the medical field.

Professional things are left to professional people, they just need to watch quietly and not add to the chaos.
