After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

047 Wan Changsheng sees a doctor

Sun Sicheng stood up and said, "Brother Wan, please sit down. I've brewed some Maojian tea for you. Do you want to try it and see if it smells good?"

Wan Changsheng sat down calmly and said, "My Lord, I am drinking tea like a cow chewing a peony, it is all in vain."

But he still picked it up and took a sip, "I don't understand it, but this tea is really fragrant."

"Haha, you're right, it smells really good. Brother Wan, what's the matter with you?"

Wan Changsheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "Young Master, I came here for two things. One is that I just learned that you are planning to hold a banquet to pay respect to your teacher. I wonder what you want us to prepare. We really don't understand these things. The other thing is that I want you to take my pulse."

“Brother Wan, you just need to prepare the normal six ceremonies of becoming a disciple. I have already sent people to prepare the rest. This is just a small banquet, and we are only inviting some good friends. We won’t be able to invite those who are far away.

You asked me to feel your pulse, but where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Wan Changsheng talked about how he was injured while rescuing wounded soldiers at the border a few years ago.

"Even though Ping An is already here, I still want you to treat me. If we can have another boy or girl, Ping An will have siblings, and there will be someone to talk to in the future. If there is really no other way, then forget it."

"Let me examine you." Sun Sicheng didn't expect that Wan Changsheng would have such bad luck.

No matter how good Ping An is, he is still a stepson. No one doesn't want to have their own flesh and blood.

Not long.

Sun Sicheng let go of Wan Changsheng's hand, and carefully asked about the situation at that time, and even looked at the part of his body where he was injured.

"Brother Wan, I will prescribe a medicinal diet for you. You don't need to take too much of the other medicines. All medicines are poisonous.

Doctor Sun and his team's diagnosis is correct. You are indeed injured, but fortunately the root of your body is not damaged. You can still have children after a year or two of herbal diet. It's just that the chance of pregnancy is more difficult than others. You may not have many children in this life, but you should have one or two."

Wan Changsheng was delighted: "One or two will be enough. May I ask, sir, how much is the medicinal food? I am afraid it is too expensive and I cannot afford it."

Sun Sicheng shook his head and said, "It's not expensive. Just stew a few common herbs with old hen or pig's stomach. It won't cost more than ten or twenty taels a year."

"That's good, that's good." Wan Changsheng felt relieved and decided to go to the market to buy a nest of chicks. He would only bring six old hens from home.

"Master, is it possible for my wife to eat this medicinal food?"

"Okay."

Sun Sicheng quickly wrote a recipe for the medicinal diet for him and said, "Go and ask the waiter to prepare the medicine for you. You don't have to pay. It's not worth anything."

"No, I have to give it to you, sir. I have to go first. I have to go to the street again."

Sun Sicheng stood up and said, "I'll take you there. I'll tell the waiter to prepare the medicine for you. You can take one dose when you go back."

In fact, this kind of medicinal food is usually bought in large quantities at one time, in portions, which is convenient to use.

In Wan Changsheng's case, he only needs to take the medicine once a week. In a year, he will need at least 20 taels of medicinal materials.

The Wan family was not well off, and he was his close disciple, so of course he couldn't ask him for money.

When they arrived at the lobby, Sun Sicheng asked the waiter to pack a year's supply of medicine, which would almost complete the recovery in a year.

Calculated as four times a month, that would be forty-eight packets of medicine a year, which would be more than twenty taels of silver.

A quarter of an hour later, the guy packed the medicine, it was a big bag.

"Brother Wan, take one pack at a time. Stew it with old hen or pork belly. Slowly simmer for two hours. Do this four times a month. I'll examine you next time you come back."

"Thank you, young master. How much silver is this time? I'm afraid I don't have enough. I'll send it over tomorrow."

Sun Sicheng smiled and shook his head: "These are all herbs grown on our farm. What's the relationship between you and me? Your son is my apprentice, and we are almost brothers. If you insist on paying for these herbs, you are looking down on me, your brother."

When Wan Changsheng heard what the eldest master said, he felt it was not appropriate to give it to him any longer. He could only repay the favor later.

"Then I will shamelessly accept it. Sir, please be busy. I will leave the car and medicine here and come to get them later."

"Go ahead. There's someone watching over the mule at the door. Go ahead and do your work. I have guests coming."

Sun Dacheng looked at the door, Qi Jiaojiao finally came.

When Wan Changsheng heard this, he said goodbye and left in a hurry. He also had to go to the street to prepare the six gifts. It was too late to buy the meat, and he couldn't make delicious jerky without good quality meat.

I’ll give some to the eldest son, and also take some with my son and Erqiang for their long journey.

This kind of dried meat can be eaten for several days without going bad. Early peaches are also available, and he wants to buy more to ask his wife to make some dried peaches for the two children. People who travel far away will not get carsick after eating them.

His wife is quite good at doing these things.

Thinking of his wife and Ping An, and recalling what the eldest master said about him having his own children in this life, Wan Changsheng's steps became lighter, and he felt elated.

Qi Jiaojiao took her daughter from the old woman's hands and said, "Just wait here. You don't have to come over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qi Jiaojiao walked towards Sun Sicheng holding her daughter. She felt uneasy because this cousin always treated her coldly and basically didn't treat her as his cousin.

After all, she is not his biological cousin, there is still a blood relationship between them.

"Come with me to the back hall." There were more and more people in the hall, so some things were not convenient to say.

Qi Jiaojiao wished so much. Even though her daughter was young, she didn't want others to know that she was seriously ill, even though this was not Huainan Prefecture.

Arrived at the back hall.

Sun Sicheng looked at the sleepy little girl in her arms. The five-year-old child looked almost as big as a three-year-old, and her skin was somewhat transparent, which was heartbreaking to see.

"Sit down. Didn't I tell the second brother? You have to tell your husband about this. He has to come. It would be best if your father and brother come as well. I'm a doctor. Some diseases require the presence of the head of the family. Some agreements need to be signed.

Do you understand this? If you treat the patient carelessly and something happens, you can't bear the consequences, and neither can I. To some extent, I am a doctor, and you, the patient's family, must cooperate. I am really busy, and I have a lot of things to do."

"Cousin, please, save my child. I'm afraid no one in the nearby states has better abilities than you. I can't go to the capital, it's a long way away, and I'm afraid something might happen to the child on the way. What should I do then?

I have sent someone back to ask my husband and father to come over. I am here just to ask you to examine the child first so that you can think of a solution, right? We are not only doctor and patient, you are also my eldest cousin. "

"Well, I'll examine you today. We'll have to wait until they arrive to tell you the details. Three days will be enough."

It was impossible for Sun Sicheng not to treat them. Not to mention his relatives, they were always patients. He was not bragging, but in the nearby states, there were indeed not many doctors with better medical skills than him.

There are some in the capital, especially in the Imperial Medical Office, but those doctors will never treat ordinary people.

On this side, Wan Changsheng went to the market excitedly and bought more than 20 kilograms of the best lean meat. He would also have to go to the pharmacy to get some ingredients for the marinade later.

The wife said that her son taught her these things, and she didn't ask the child where the recipe came from. Maybe he got it from his father's book.

Wan Changsheng found that he was still very envious of that man. Whenever he thought of him, he immediately forced himself not to think about it.

The six gifts for becoming a disciple are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and dried meat.

I have dried meat at home, and I also prepare a pound of other things. There is no benefit in having more, it’s just for good luck.

After returning to the pharmacy and buying some ingredients for the marinade, Wan Changsheng went straight to the medicine store. The meat had to be prepared, and he also had to talk to his wife about his illness in the evening.
