Chapter 778 Three Whips
That night, someone went to pass on the order, asking Shi Minglei to bring the people who prepared the prescription to pay a visit to the little princess.
Shi Minglei was overjoyed and immediately ran to Li's house to tell his fiancée.
After Li Ping'an passed away, Shi's mother came to comfort Mrs. Li every day. The relationship between the two families became closer and closer, and they were just waiting to get married after the mourning period was over.
It was his idea to offer the recipe.
He loved reading since he was young and was also determined to take the imperial examination. After being humiliated in public by the president of the academy, he got angry and announced in public that he would give up the path of taking the imperial examination... He regretted it afterwards.
It would be fine if he didn't enter the academy, but he still wanted to take the imperial examination. It was not easy for his mother to raise him, and he wanted to make a name for himself and bring honor to his family.
Not only that, his fiancée has always felt guilty about this, thinking that she has implicated him, so he has been thinking about how to break the situation.
Until I heard people talking about the little princess coming over, and also talking about attracting birds to kill locusts.
The Crown Princess had kept the affair a secret until word got out that the young princess was coming.
He kept thinking about this matter in his heart, thinking about offering medicine to the little princess.
Because he had been thinking about it, when he looked up that day and saw a little girl, he felt that this must be the little princess. This is the little princess!! He tried to say something to show his edge.
However, it was of no use. After much hesitation, he decided to offer medicine and give it a try. Unexpectedly, there was a response.
So early in the morning, Shi Minglei came with his fiancée and uncle Li Erlang.
Soon, someone brought them in.
After waiting in the hall for a while, a woman in gorgeous clothes came out, followed by a palace maid who led them to pay their respects. Madam Lin said nonchalantly, "Sit down, no need to be polite."
The three of them sat down awkwardly, and Madam Lin said, "Fu Zhen hasn't stood up yet, wait a moment."
After a pause, he asked again, "Which one is the lay Buddhist Lei Luo?"
Shi Minglei subconsciously looked up and saw that Mrs. Lin was holding a storybook in her hand. It was the one he had written before, called "Three Whips".
The more lively a storybook is, the better. This one is also written in a very melodramatic way. Generally speaking, it is a story about how a scholar and his widowed mother were bullied when they were poor, and then after he passed the imperial examination and returned home, he severed all ties with his clansmen with three whips.
Shi Minglei's face flushed, and he said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I am a commoner."
Madam Lin said, "In the book you wrote, this Sun Suotou...really looks like Tang Sanshui. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep for half the night. You have to revise it no matter what you say. You can't just give him three lashes and be done with it. You have to kill this person no matter what you say."
Shi Minglei: “…”
He was panic-stricken but also found it a little funny. He had not expected that the Crown Princess would be such a frank and lovely person.
Of course he knew who Tang Sanshui was. When he wrote this book, he actually thought of Tang Sanshui.
He calmed down a little, stood up and said, "I obey your command."
Mrs. Lin asked someone to bring pen and ink, and Shi Minglei started writing. The storybook was not long to begin with, and he only changed the ending. It was finished in a short while, and Mrs. Lin took it to read.
When Hao Huashi came over after dinner, Mrs. Lin took the food and shared it with him.
Hao Huashi was watching and talking to her at the same time, and he was so indignant and shared the same hatred for the enemy, as if he was squatting on the beam of someone else's house at that time and saw with his own eyes how disgusting Tang Sanshui was.
As the two were talking, Xinbao and Yuan Shenjue came over hand in hand.
The three of them quickly stood up and saluted.
Except for Shi Minglei who was relatively calm, Li Erlang and Li Luoer were so nervous that they dared not raise their heads and could not even speak.
Xinbao waved his hands and said, "Don't be afraid. Xinbao is a good person."
She sat down and asked Li Luoer seriously, "Is that recipe yours?"
Li Luoer was a little flustered. She secretly glanced at Xinbao and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was left by my father."
Xinbao asked again: "Can you cure other diseases?"
Li Luoer said: "My father...my father is good at treating animals' diseases. He wrote a booklet. Later, Brother Lei copied a copy and I brought it here." She took it out from her arms and presented it with both hands.
Xinbao just holds it in his hand and looks at it.
This booklet was clearly written with great care, and was written in great detail, just like treating a disease, with symptoms, diagnosis, and medicine...
Shi Minglei was very brave and explained, "My father-in-law studied in a clinic for twelve years, and then spent nearly thirty years treating animals. He has written countless books like this. He only records what he has verified to be true. The ones here have been tried at least twenty or thirty times."
He paused, "My fiancée also tried it. I went out with her to treat patients and tried it at least 20 to 30 times."
Xinbao nodded: "Great! Xinbao doesn't know how to treat animals, but the pharmacology makes sense, so it should be effective. In fact, treating humans and animals sometimes have a lot in common. There are many medicines that can be tested on animals... Um, this book, you guys..."
She paused, not knowing what to say.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Because other people offer him medicine, he can be rewarded with learning alchemy, but they are treating animals and may not want to learn alchemy.
She glanced at her wife.
Yuan Shenjue then asked, "Are you willing to present this booklet?"
Shi Minglei answered again, "I have discussed this with my two uncles before coming here, and I am willing to present the booklet. My father-in-law was never secretive back then, and he would teach the village doctors how to treat patients when he arrived in the village. He always believed that the more people who learned medical skills, the better."
"He is a kind-hearted doctor." Yuan Shenjue said, "Is there anything you want?"
Shi Minglei said: "If one day this book is spread throughout the world, I would only ask that the name of the author be left. My father-in-law is named Li Ping'an."
Yuan Shenjue nodded: "Of course, no need to say more."
Hao Huashi and Mrs. Lin exchanged looks that only gossipers could understand.
Shi Minglei was obviously a smart man. Although he appeared to be very nervous, he was actually very clear-headed and answered without hesitation.
Whether it is them or other superiors, they would prefer this kind of response.
Yuan Shenjue asked Xinbao a few questions in a low voice, and then asked them: "Who in your family has the best medical skills?"
Shi Minglei said: "My second uncle has more experience."
Li Erlang quickly saluted.
Yuan Shenjue said: "I heard that Miss Li's medical skills are better?"
Li Erlang replied tremblingly, "Yes, it is true. My father said that my sister has the best talent. But usually when we go to the countryside to treat illnesses, I am the one who goes there. My sister has also been to some of the rich families' cats and dogs a few times. Sometimes, my brother-in-law also goes out with my sister and saves a few..."
What he said was a bit confusing.
Yuan Shenjue said: "You or your sister can choose one person to go back to Beijing with us and stay for a year or so. After this booklet is verified, we will send someone to send you back..."
He paused for a moment, then said to Shi Minglei, "I have read the storybook you wrote. I can recommend you to the Imperial College, but if you fail the exam, I will not be responsible."
Li Erlang and Li Luoer were a little stunned, but Shi Minglei was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.
Yuan Shenjue said: "You guys go back and discuss it, and come back early on the 28th."
