After finishing several visits, Xing Baohua prepared to go home. He had originally planned to invite them to dinner that evening, but they all politely declined. It wasn't that they were being disrespectful, but rather that Xing Baohua was trying to cut in line; they had already arranged a time well in advance.
They were too embarrassed to refuse.
Xie Yingying reported in the car the details of Su Ya using one million yuan in cash, mentioning that she had an old bottle.
Xing Baohua knew about this; he had asked Xie Yingying's second uncle to help introduce him to an appraiser.
Why would she buy bottles?
Xing Baohua was a little curious. Su Ya didn't usually play with these things, and she wasn't particularly interested in gold and silver jewelry. Why did she suddenly want to buy some old-fashioned items?
"I heard from the guards who were with me that it was a gift for an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
"Giving gifts, is it because we know each other or are relatives?"
"No, that's not it. I asked around and found out that the old Chinese medicine doctor is very famous, but he's too old to practice anymore. I was wondering if we could ask him to take over?"
"Over a million! Hiring a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? This price is unbelievable," Xing Baohua said with a wry smile.
"It seems to be more than a million, plus a whole set of smart home appliances from DaMi," Xie Yingying added.
"Wow! She's really starting to act like a rich lady, spending money without hesitation. You should investigate that old Chinese medicine doctor for me again. I'm not afraid of Su Ya spending money; men should spend their money on women. I'm just worried she'll get scammed. The best specialist appointment at the 301 General Hospital is only 15 yuan. Tsk!" Xing Baohua said helplessly again.
Hearing this, Xie Yingying knew that the big boss was a little reluctant to spend the money. It seemed that the big boss Xing did not understand the meaning behind this. The old Chinese medicine doctor did not say that the consultation fee was more than one million yuan. It was a gift from Su Ya, worth more than one million yuan.
A nice-looking bottle might cost a dozen or a few hundred yuan, but that's about the price the old Chinese medicine doctor paid for it. The fact that old bottles are expensive only highlights Xing Baohua's resentment.
Back at his residence, Xing Baohua acted as if he knew nothing and didn't mention the bottle at all, nor did Su Ya.
After dinner, Su Ya asked Xing Baohua to spare some time the next morning to accompany her out.
Even if I'm busy, an hour is fine.
By the way, Xing Baohua is actually free tomorrow. He's going to meet someone at AVIC the day after tomorrow, which will mark the end of his trip to the capital.
Since I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, I'll go out with Suya.
The next day, Xing Baohua and Su Ya stood in the courtyard house of Old Master Gong. Xing Baohua looked at the antique courtyard and was quite impressed by the house in this location. There were many courtyard houses in the capital, but a complete front courtyard was worth a fortune.
Unfortunately, Xing Baohua doesn't like investing in this area. Even with a hundredfold profit, he feels it's too little money; a house is for living in.
Preserving the value and increasing its worth takes decades. It's better to use that money to do something else that could yield dozens of times the profit.
Grandpa Gong came out of the living room, accompanied by his granddaughter, Gong Qian.
The old man was wearing a gray long gown today, and he looked very energetic. Combined with the modern clothes next to him, it created a sense of cyclical time travel.
When Grandpa Gong saw that Xing Baohua was very young, his heart skipped a beat. He had always thought that Su Ya's boyfriend was not young. The factory manager of an electrical appliance factory must be at least thirty-four or thirty-five years old.
But who knew she was only in her early twenties?
He cupped his hands in greeting, inviting the guest inside.
"Sit down, on your left." After inviting Xing Baohua and the others into the house, Old Master Gong started working without saying another word.
Xing Baohua only then realized that Su Ya had invited the traditional Chinese medicine doctor for him. Xie Yingying hadn't even found out about it yet, and the doctor had already taken care of the illness.
The money's gone and can't be recovered, so let's just treat it as a lesson learned.
Xing Baohua felt somewhat uncomfortable, which was evident in her expression. After sitting down, she didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and placed it on a small pillow.
Grandpa Gong placed his hand on Xing Baohua's pulse, closed his eyes, and opened them after about thirty seconds, saying, "Stick out your tongue so I can see it. Curl it up so I can see the root of your tongue."
"You've probably injured your back recently. The Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang is damaged, and the Gaohuang and Shentang acupoints are blocked."
After Grandpa Gong finished speaking, Xing Baohua turned to look at Su Ya, implying, "Did you tell this old man?"
Su Ya shook her head slightly, her eyes also showing a bit of shock. If you can know this just by taking a pulse, then what's the point of using CT scans and MRIs?
“Grandpa Gong, as long as we are…” Su Ya interrupted.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need to speak, I know."
“It’s not uncommon for young people to have this problem, but it’s not unreasonable.” Old Master Gong’s words left Xing Baohua completely bewildered.
He said, "What's wrong with my body?"
"There are many problems. The heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and other internal organs all have some minor issues, which can be regulated with regular care. But the most important problem lies in the kidney meridian. As the saying goes, the kidney is the root of innate constitution. If there is a problem at the root, many other problems will follow."
"Can it be cured?" Xing Baohua asked. Zou Wenjuan had previously helped him find a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Hong Kong. The doctor also said he had this problem, and good heavens, he was given a lot of tonics, to the point that he almost vomited.
"It's hard to say. Your condition is due to a deficiency of Yin Fire, leading to internal imbalance. Did you take any strong tonics before?"
Xing Baohua could only nod, and then heard Old Master Gong say, "If an ordinary person examined you, they would say that you have insufficient kidney yang."
Xing Baohua nodded; he remembered that the old Chinese medicine doctor in Hong Kong had said the same thing. Wait a minute, it seems that one of them was also a descendant of an imperial physician.
So he told Grandpa Gong that he had seen a Chinese medicine doctor in Hong Kong, who was also a descendant of an imperial physician and whose surname was Chen.
