Xu Lanyue pouted and said, "Big sister, let me accompany you again."
As long as Chai didn't bring Wen Mingxi to the palace to visit the empress dowager, she would visit Xu Lanyin almost every day. Today, she was gone for only half an hour and left Xu Lanyue to accompany her.
Qin Hongyu had previously brought the child into the palace, but when they discovered she was pregnant some time ago, they dared not burden her further. Wen Zhuofeng would be twenty-nine the following year, almost a grandfather in this era, and the fact that he had just had his first child delighted the entire family, and the Empress Dowager specifically ordered Qin Hongyu to rest at home.
Xu Lanyin also felt a little anxious, so she comforted the little girl.
Mother Qian led Wen Mingxi in, who had just woken up. The little guy was one year and one month old, could speak a few single words, and could even stumble a few steps. He was strong and heavy-handed, and if you weren't paying attention, it really hurt.
As soon as he saw his mother, he wanted to shake off Qian Mama's hand and run towards Xu Lanyin. Scared, Qian Mama grabbed him tightly and coaxed him, "Brother, don't bump into Fourth Grandma. It's dangerous."
Wen Mingxi was so anxious that he shouted, "Mom, mom, I want..."
When Xu Lanyue saw this, she hurried over and picked up Wen Mingxi, saying with a smile, "Auntie is here, play with her." She carried Wen Mingxi to the kang and coaxed him to play with the little cloth tiger.
Xu Lanyin sat aside and watched them, and her mood became much better.
As she was speaking, a little girl came in and reported, "Fourth Madam, the doorman came to report that an old man who calls himself Zhang wants to see you. He says he's an old friend of yours and that he and you had a good business deal. Fourth Madam will definitely see him."
Did Zhang's father-in-law do a good business?
Seeing Xu Lanyin hesitate, the little girl quickly said, "Then I'll ask the doorman to send him away."
Xu Lanyin thought of a possibility and said hurriedly, "He has been invited. Don't neglect him."
Xu Lanyin became excited. If it was really him, she wouldn't be afraid of having twins, let alone multiple babies. Looking at the scar on Xu Lanyue's face, she thought this child's face might be able to be healed...
A quarter of an hour later, the little girl brought in an old man in his sixties.
The old man wore a filthy cotton hat with ears and a greasy gray cotton robe, and his body was covered with snowflakes. Even if Xu Lanyin hadn't seen him in person, she would have recognized him at a glance. It was the old man named Zhang who had bought the two blackroot grasses from the original owner with the Jade-like Skin Regenerating Ointment, a small wooden sign, and two silver coins.
As soon as he came in, he complained loudly, "Little girl, you have used my reputation for so long, I am here to collect the debt."
Xu Lanyin stepped forward, bent her knees with difficulty, and said with a smile, "It really is Grandpa Zhang. Oh, such an honored guest, please take a seat."
After sending Xu Lanyue and Zhao Mingxi away, the maid served tea and asked someone to prepare the best wine and food.
Doctor Zhang drank a few sips of hot tea and waved his hand, saying, "We'll talk about the food and drinks later. First, make arrangements for my apprentice. If I need to stay in the capital, I'll stay at your house."
His apprentice was a young man, so he was not allowed to enter the upper room and was directly invited to the side room.
After hearing this, Xu Lanyin asked someone to clean up a yard in the front yard, invited his apprentice over and treated him well.
When Dr. Zhang saw that Xu Lanyin had finished her arrangements, he looked at her and said, "Before, I saw a silly girl. Now she is smart, and smarter than ordinary people."
Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "I was young and ignorant then, but now I have grown up."
Doctor Zhang couldn't bear to listen to Xu Lanyin's explanation and asked impatiently, "Girl, that hypnosis I taught you..."
This matter still got out.
Xu Lanyin smiled and asked the others in the room to leave. She then stood up with difficulty, bent her knees and said with a smile, "Please come in, Grandpa Zhang..."
Before she could finish her words, Dr. Zhang said, "Since I taught you that hypnosis, I should be able to do it, right?"
Xu Lanyin was very willing to tell Dr. Zhang about the art of hypnosis. She asked him to return after giving birth to examine the Crown Prince and Qin Hongyu, and to help with Xu Lanyue's facial treatment. She also wanted some precious medicinal herbs and a few medical skills, but she didn't dare to ask.
Doctor Zhang said, "I am a miracle doctor, not a god. I can only cure treatable illnesses, but not those who are dying. It is not easy for the prince to live until now, with the pills I left for him and the most meticulous care of the imperial physician. How long he can live depends on his luck; I cannot cure him. As for the rest, it depends on whether your hypnosis is worth the price. If it is, then the deal is done. If not, I will leave tomorrow."
Xu Lanyin gathered her energy and started by talking about psychology, then the theory and effects of hypnosis, which seemed to open up another world for the old doctor Zhang.
They talked about dinner and then about the evening. Nanny Wei urged him several times outside the door before the old doctor Zhang got up and went back to the guest room to rest.
Before leaving, Dr. Zhang said, "I have taught you such great skills. Am I worthy of being called your 'Master'?"
This seemed to reverse the definition of master and disciple, but Xu Lanyin was still very happy. She wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but her belly was too big to do so.
Doctor Zhang said, "Save this head for you to kowtow to after you give birth."
Xu Lanyin poured a cup of tea, held it in front of him with both hands, and said, "Disciple Xu Lanyin, serve tea to Master."
Old Doctor Zhang took the tea and drank it with a smile.
The next morning, Dr. Zhang came to Hexuan for breakfast and continued his talk.
Three days later, Dr. Zhang was able to successfully hypnotize his apprentice. He stopped visiting Xu Lanyin and remained in his own courtyard, continuing his research without allowing anyone to approach him. Occasionally, when he encountered a problem he couldn't solve, he would go to Hexuan to discuss it with Xu Lanyin. Many of the questions he raised left Xu Lanyin with no answers, or perhaps he had never considered them before. Through these discussions, Xu Lanyin's understanding of hypnosis deepened, and his technique became even more refined.
Xu Lanyin felt that the old doctor Zhang was not only a medical genius and a pharmaceutical genius, but also a medical "madman".
Of course, only a few people knew that the old man was the miraculous doctor Zhang, and no one dared to spread it out, otherwise he would not be able to live in peace in this family.
Old Doctor Zhang thought hypnosis was worth the money, so he took the pulse of Xu Lanyin and Qin Hongyu respectively, and said that Xu Lanyin was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. He also gave Qin Hongyu some pills and asked her to take them before giving birth.
On the 18th, Xu Lanyue's wound treatment began. First, I applied some medicine to the scar. It was a rotten scar, so it was a bit painful. I prescribed some sleep aids, so she slept most of the time. Although Xu Lanyue was young, she gritted her teeth, only crying or groaning when the pain was severe.
Three days later, the bandage was removed. The scar was bloody and bruised. Ruyu Regenerating Skin Ointment was applied again, and then the bandage was wrapped again. They said the bandage should be changed every two days, and the scar should heal in ten days. Xu Lanyue lived in the east wing of Hexuan, and would also celebrate the New Year there.
The old doctor used his own Ruyu Shengji Ointment. While treating the wound, he also explained some trauma treatment methods to Xu Lanyin and gave her some other medicines, including the "corruption medicine." Xu Lanyin had a hunch that this "corruption medicine" could also treat ailments like flat warts and epidermal cysts, and was very valuable.
