Chapter 80 The Good Doctor Gao Zhizhai
Xu Yan rested at his grandfather's house for a night.
The next morning, he and his grandfather and uncle said goodbye, and then took the little book boy out of the city and returned home on a boat.
Xu Yan's gains were quite great this time in Hangzhou, which expanded Miaofengtang's business in Hangzhou. He made a stunning success at the Gushan Poetry Conference and accepted the big bull Shen Mingchen as his disciple. By chance, he met the Grand Master by chance, and then joined the line with Hong Miaoyun, a daughter of the famous Xixi Hong family in Qiantang...
At this moment, he couldn't wait to return home and share the joy of family with his parents.
It was early winter and the weather was very cold. Xu Yan stayed in the cabin all day and refused to show his head. He didn't feel energetic until the boatman stopped at the dock in Dinghai County.
He paid the money and got off the ship one after another with Xiao Shutong.
It is not far from the dock to the Xu family, but Xu Yan is already homeless and does not want to delay for a moment.
When he stepped into the gate of Xu Mansion, he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Maybe this is what home means.
I am alone in a foreign land and miss my family more during the holidays.
Although Hangzhou is good, it is not home after all.
But when Xu Yan returned home, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The mansion was filled with a bleak atmosphere, and the servants he saw were all solemn, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Xu Yan hurried to find his father, and then he realized that his father was ill.
After some inquiry, my mother was willing to reveal that Xu Yan's father Xu Huaiyuan accidentally felt a cold ten days ago.
At that time, the Xu family did not take it seriously. They invited the doctor to see it and only said that they would take medicine according to the prescription and take it for a while.
But who knew that Xu Huaiyuan's condition was getting worse and worse, and he was unable to get out of bed.
Xu Chen wanted to write a letter to Xu Yan several times, but Xu Huaiyuan stopped him from fearing that his son would worry.
So much so that it was only now that Xu Yan knew the truth.
The ancients often said that parents are not traveling far away.
What I fear is this situation.
Xu Yan felt very guilty in his heart and knelt on the head of the bed, holding his father's hand tightly.
Now Xu Huaiyuan is unconscious and has a pale face. Xu Yan is very nervous.
"Mom, is the prescription prescribed by the doctor still there?"
"It's all warm-tonifying medicines. Do I want to see it?"
Xu Chen sighed.
Xu Yan nodded.
Xu Chen then went to get the prescription and handed it to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan opened it and saw that it was all warm and tonic medicine and frowned.
Although he doesn't know much about medical skills, he also knows that there are many kinds of wind and cold.
Now that my father has taken medicine for a long time, he has not recovered. Instead, his condition is getting worse and worse. He must have not prescribed the right medicine.
My father was killed by a quack doctor.
"Mom, have you only hired one doctor these days?"
Xu Yan said anxiously.
Xu Chen shook his head and sighed: "A total of three or five doctors have been hired, and the prescriptions are almost the same. But your father will not get better."
Xu Yan secretly hated in his heart, these quack doctors are really hateful.
"But yesterday, a man named Shen Mingchen came to the mansion to find you. When you learned that your father fell ill, he said he wanted to go back to Yin County to hire a famous doctor."
Shen Mingchen?
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that Shen Mingchen should have returned to Yin County and thought that he should have returned to Dinghai County. Then he made a special trip.
Unexpectedly, it was the time when Xu Yan's father fell ill.
But when Xu Yan was upset, Xiao Shutong came to report that Shen Mingchen was coming.
This is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
Although Xu Yan was in a bad mood, Shen Mingchen came from all the way and still had to see him.
He then ordered Shuangxi to invite Shen Mingchen here directly.
The little Shutong nodded and ran away.
After a while, he brought Shen Mingchen. A doctor with him was also carrying a medicine box.
The doctor looked very young. Although he had short beards on his jaw, he didn't look forty years old.
A famous doctor under forty years old?
Xu Yan always feels a little unreliable.
Shen Mingchen first bowed to Xu Chen, then bowed to Xu Yan and said, "Well... Well, Mr. Xu is back too. Yesterday I came to Dinghai County to find you, and happened to see Ling Zun get sick, so he hurried back to Yin County to find a doctor."
After a moment of pause, he turned to the doctor beside him and introduced: "This is Mr. Gao, the son of Mr. Gu Mei, 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 age and has been persuaded to invite him. Why not let him take a look at it for Lingzun?"
Mr. Gu Mei?
Xu Yan felt that this name seemed very familiar. After thinking for a long time, he realized that Mr. Gu Mei was a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Wu, the author of a number of medical classics such as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Juying", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Festival", and "Authentic Acupuncture and Authentic Pox Science"?
In Xu Yan's impression, Gao Wu had only one son, named Gao Zhizhai.
Gao Zhizhai is also very famous. Not only did he inherit his father's mantra, but he also wrote books such as "Lingshu Excerpts".
It can be said that a tiger father has no dog son, and he is a famous doctor in every family.
"I dare to ask if sir, is Gao Zhizhai?"
The doctor nodded slightly.
Xu Yan couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Most people may not have heard of the name Gao Gumei, but everyone in the traditional Chinese medicine industry should know it. This person has played a role in inheriting the past and opening up the future for the development of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, making the acupuncture system increasingly perfect.
In the Ming Dynasty, the development of acupuncture once fell into a low point.
Gao Gumei held different opinions.
He believed that the idea of "the art of living people is only about medicine, so he abandoned acupuncture and moxibustion and did not talk about it" was absolutely undesirable. At that time, people "cannot heal it by medicine, but must make the man acupuncture, and they will be helpless and feel ashamed of their own skills." This means that they rely too much on drug treatment and ignore acupuncture treatment.
He pointed out that "acupuncture medicine is all for the doctor's internal affairs", "Acupuncture medicine can be used in combination, and then it can be discussed with the doctor", "Acupuncture medicine is a good doctor if it is applied due to illness."
Since Gao Zhizhai has adhered to Gao Gumei's mantra, he should also be a master of acupuncture.
"Sir, please save my father."
Xu Yan gave a deep gift to Gao Zhizhai.
Seeing that the boy was considered polite and polite, Gao Zhizhai nodded and said, "Gao should do his best."
Xu Yan quickly stopped and asked Gao Zhizhai to treat his father.
But I saw the doctor sitting down beside the bed, unloading the medicine box, and taking out a small box from it.
When he opened the box, he found silver needles of all sizes neatly inserted inside.
Xu Yan and Xu Chen both subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
Although acupuncture has been considered a traditional treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, people in 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.
Only then did Mrs. Xu swallow the words to her mouth.
There are some orders of hearing and knowledge, and there are specialties in skills and professions.
When it comes to professional matters like medical science, Xu Yan still chose to trust Gao Zhizhai fully.
After all, the Gao family is also a high-ranking school in the medical field.
Professional things are left to professionals, and they just need to watch quietly and avoid causing trouble.
