Scheme of the Official Descendant

Although Ren Yaoqi broke away from the fetters of her family in her previous lifetime, as she erroneously believed in her blood-relatives’ speech and views about sacrificing everything for the family’...

Chapter 422: Reminiscing (2/3)

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't respond for a moment, Madam Xu explained, "Because my sister, like me, has had this disease since her mother's womb. It's a pity that she... Alas! Jinyan has always felt regretful about my sister's passing. So he has been studying the theory for many years. When he saw what I drank yesterday, he said it was the right medicine for my condition. He also knew the massage methods you taught me to relieve the symptoms, so I mentioned you. He and I are close relatives and friends regardless of age, so he is also your elder. We are family members talking together, so there is no need to be restrained."

Ren Yaoqi wasn't being reserved, she just didn't know how to answer Pei Zhiyan. It was true that she had told Madam Xu about this prescription, but it was also something Pei Zhiyan had found while studying medical books in his previous life.

She could only say, "I gave it to you, sir. I found the recipe in a notebook of a former imperial physician at my grandfather's house."

Pei Zhiyan said solemnly: "I wonder which imperial physician of the previous dynasty wrote this letter?" Pei Zhiyan had naturally studied many medical records and cases left by imperial physicians.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and replied, "Hu Zhongyun, the Imperial Physician."

Pei Zhiyan suddenly realized: "So it was him, no wonder."

Mrs. Xu was a little surprised: "You have also heard of this Imperial Physician Hu?" It was no wonder that Mrs. Xu was surprised. Although Hu Zhuangyun was an imperial physician, he was not very famous. He did not leave behind any commendable stories in the medical field during his lifetime. In addition, he was alive at least four hundred years ago, so even Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanli, who were well-read, did not know about this imperial physician.

Ren Yaoqi thought to himself that Mr. Pei must have known about this. In fact, this prescription was something he came up with by reading the medical records and medical books left by Hu Zhongyun and some other famous doctors.

"I have a notebook he passed on to his son. The book does contain unique insights into heart disease. If this is the prescription he came up with, it's not surprising." Pei Zhiyan said to Mrs. Xu.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while and said with a smile: "However, it is rare for you to be so insightful at such a young age and not from a medical family. Your teacher has accepted a good student."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think to himself when he heard this: "When I was your student, I never saw you sigh like this!" Sure enough, students always think others are better.

Pei Zhiyan naturally could not hear her thoughts. The two of them met now as if they were strangers. Pei Zhiyan only showed an expression of surprise when he first saw Ren Yaoqi. After asking her about her situation, he started chatting about other things with Xu Shanchang and paid too much attention to Ren Yaoqi, making Ren Yaoqi feel that the surprise he saw in Pei Zhiyan's eyes before seemed to be just her illusion.

Mrs. Xu left the square table to Xu Wanli and Pei Zhiyan, and she took Ren Yaoqi to the cabin and sat down at the table to talk about the recent repair of the incomplete score.

At this time, firecrackers and gongs and drums were heard outside. The sound was so loud that it even covered the voices of several people talking on the boat. The attention of Pei Zhiyan and Xu Wanli, who were drinking tea and talking on the other side, was also diverted.

Madam Xu smiled and said, "The dragon boat race is about to begin. Jinyan, you haven't seen the dragon boat race in Yanbei yet, right?"

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly: "I haven't seen it, but judging from the appearance of the dragon boats, the ones in Jiangnan have more variety."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu couldn't help but glance at the magnificent dragon boat parked in the middle of the river and said with a smile, "That's true, but in a dragon boat race, the winner has to be determined after the race itself. How can you determine the winner based on appearance alone?"
