Chapter 245 Only You Can

Giving a gift upon first meeting is fine, but to give such an expensive one makes me feel a little unworthy.

Not long ago, she was fighting with the person who gave her a gift for the last fried chicken frame.

Seemingly noticing Sheng Sheng's question, Shen Jiaqing laughed heartily: "Don't you find it strange? Why did I give it to you when I hadn't given it away for so many years? I can grow it myself, why would I need to give it away?"

He nodded silently.

"The original intention of writing this booklet was to enable the Rejuvenating Herb to save more people in the world. Since you also need the Rejuvenating Herb to save people, why not give it to you? Most importantly, you little dumpling really suit my taste, just like my younger sister when she was a child."

Shen Jiaqing patted Shengsheng's head and comforted her, "Take it if you want. Besides, I only gave you the method, not taught you. Whether you can grow the Rejuvenating Grass or not ultimately depends on your own ability. I can only build a bridge for you. Whether you can get to the other side of the river is up to you."

Shen Jiaqing's words reassured Sheng Sheng, who immediately made up her mind: "Yes! Sheng Sheng will definitely go back and have the imperial physicians study this carefully."

Shen Jiaqing raised an eyebrow, clicked his tongue, and shook his head: "Only you can figure it out, they can't."

"Me?" Sheng Sheng tilted her head, pointing to herself. "Me?"

"Yes, it's you."

Sheng Sheng blinked: "Why?"

Shen Jiaqing shrugged and shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a gut feeling."

intuition?

What kind of intuition is this? She knows nothing about medicine. Does she have to go back and study medicine?

Sheng Sheng was completely baffled, but Shen Jiaqing remained silent and waved for the guests to leave: "Alright, alright, I'm tired today too. I have to go to a free clinic tomorrow, so I won't stay with you any longer. You can take that Rejuvenating Grass to use as seeds; you don't need to give it to me."

Now that Shen Jiaqing has said all that, so clearly and sincerely, if they were to refuse again, it would seem as if Shen Jiaqing were the one eagerly pursuing them.

So Sheng Sheng didn't say anything else, and hugged him with gratitude: "Wow, thank you, Uncle Chen, you are such a kind person! Sheng Sheng's fourth brother is saved!"

Xie Yunchuan and the others also bowed and thanked him. Shen Jiaqing leaned close to Sheng Sheng's ear and whispered, "It's a promise. I'm giving you such a big gift. You have to come to Jin to visit me in the future. I'll introduce you to my sister. She'll definitely like you."

"Okay!" Sheng Sheng readily agreed. "When is Uncle Shen going back to Jin? I'll definitely bring you a big gift when I visit!"

"Anytime is fine. After I leave Yu, I will be heading back to Jin. If you come to Jin then, just go to the Shen family to find me. I will be waiting for you."

Sheng Sheng smiled gently and replied softly, "Okay, Sheng Sheng will remember."

At this time, Sheng Sheng still thought that the Shen family Shen Jiaqing mentioned was the Shen family of his own surname Shen, and did not connect Shen Jiaqing with the Shen family of the most powerful family in Jin State.

With the method for cultivating Rejuvenating Grass, regardless of whether it can be successfully grown, at least there is a chance of survival.

If they can figure it out, it means they will have a continuous supply of Rejuvenating Herbs, and Xie Yunwen's leg ailment will be supported by medication.

Shen Jiaqing had helped them so much, so naturally they should express their gratitude. Logically, they should at least host a meal for Shen Jiaqing.

But since Shen Jiaqing had already said he was tired today, he certainly couldn't bother him any further.

Shen Jiaqing will be going to a clinic in Haijin tomorrow to provide free medical consultations, so he won't be able to find the time.

However, the group will be returning to Shanglin Hunting Grounds the day after tomorrow. Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang discussed it and decided that since Shen Jiaqing had so sincerely invited Shengsheng to go to Jin, if they really had the opportunity to go to Jin, they should have Shengsheng bring Shen Jiaqing a generous gift as a token of their gratitude.

Although their trip to Haijin was rushed, they fortunately brought some presentable gifts as a token of their gratitude.

So Xie Yun ordered someone to bring some gold and silver jewelry, saying, "Dr. Shen, we will never forget your great kindness. We were in a hurry on this trip and didn't bring anything valuable. If we have the chance later, we will definitely make it up to you."

"Okay, leave it there."

Shen Jiaqing accepted it without hesitation.

Friends are friends, but you still have to accept gifts.

Moreover, Xie Yunchuan and the others felt better after Shen Jiaqing accepted the gift; otherwise, they really wouldn't know how to thank him properly.

After bidding farewell to Shen Jiaqing, he remained in a daze until he returned to the inn.

Holding the booklet in her hands as if it were a priceless treasure, Sheng Sheng said to Xie Yunchuan, "Brother, we really do have the method to cultivate the Rejuvenating Grass!"

Xie Yunchuan gently patted her head and praised her, "Yes, thanks to you, Doctor Shen agreed so quickly."

"Hehe, no, brother, you forgot? Uncle Shen said that he was always hesitant about you and the Crown Prince. Sheng Sheng's situation was just a coincidence."

Sheng Sheng dared not claim all the credit for herself; it was a collective effort.

Xie Yunchuan chuckled, as if things always went smoothly whenever Shengsheng was around.

Regardless of whose credit it was, the problem of the Rejuvenating Herb is now half solved.

The other half of the problem is to wait until we return to the palace and hand this booklet over to Physician Li and Physician Zhou so they can study it and see how to cultivate this Rejuvenating Herb.

That's right, it should be left to the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy to study, not to Sheng Sheng himself.

Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals, and Sheng Sheng certainly wouldn't take on this task just because Shen Jiaqing said something.

Putting aside the fact that she knows nothing about medicine, maybe Shen Jiaqing was just teasing her for fun.

Sheng Sheng is no ordinary child. If her momentary overconfidence were to delay the Fourth Prince's important life event, she would truly be a complete sinner.

But, is it okay for her to look through it?

Adhering to the life principle of "never learning until old age" and "why not read if you're not going to," Wen Sheng finished her meal and declined Xie Yunqi's invitation to go for a walk in the street. Instead, she stayed in her room and began to peruse the booklet that recorded Dr. Sikong Shen's last efforts.

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and even if the content is difficult to understand, it is still pleasing to the eye.

The content is so complex and extensive that I can only read it slowly, bit by bit.

It took her quite a while to finally finish reading the first page.

After watching it, the entire group felt unwell and became drowsy.

Zijuan, who was delivering a late-night snack to Shengsheng, found the little girl lying on the table, about to fall asleep, as soon as she entered. She was worried that she would catch a cold, so she woke her up.
