Ye Qingqing smiled, "My maternal family were imperial physicians for more than ten generations, but they declined later. However, they left behind a lot of prescriptions. I wasn't interested in these at first, but because I needed to treat Lu Mo's leg, I went to look through the old medical books and unexpectedly fell in love with them."
The old lady immediately became respectful. "The imperial physicians in the palace are remarkable, but it's a pity that many ancient prescriptions have been lost. Girl, you must keep those prescriptions safe and sound. No matter how much money someone offers, you must not sell them!"
Ye Qingqing felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that the old lady truly cared for her. She nodded, "Yes, I definitely won't sell it. In the future, I will study medicine diligently and carry forward the medical skills of our Xu family!"
The old lady paused, a thoughtful look on her face. "Your maternal family name is Xu? A double Xu?"
“Yes, my maternal grandfather’s name is Xu Yiping. He used to practice medicine at Yimintang for two years, but his medical skills were mediocre, and he left on his own later.” Ye Qingqing said with a smile, talking about the connection between the Xu family and Yimintang.
A certain memory that had just occurred to the old lady suddenly became clearer: Xu Yiping, that name sounds so familiar!
When Ye Qingqing mentioned that her grandfather's medical skills were mediocre, the old lady's eyes lit up; she remembered.
"Young Madam, my medical skills are mediocre, and I am truly ashamed to stay any longer. Please let me go!"
An honest and kind man came to mind. This man often joked that his parents had given him a bad name. They said that he had to be named Yiping, and now he had lived a mediocre life.
He was of average appearance, average talent, and average medical skills, but he was lucky in love and found a beautiful wife and had a beautiful and intelligent daughter.
Moreover, Xu Yiping often said that his ancestors for more than ten generations were imperial physicians, but no one believed him and thought he was bragging.
"Xu Yiping is your maternal grandfather? Is your mother's name Xu Yali?" the old lady asked with a smile, marveling at how small the world is, with so many old friends everywhere!
Ye Qingqing was taken aback. "Grandma Sheng, you know my mother?"
It's understandable that she knows her maternal grandfather, since she used to be his boss, but it's really unexpected that she also knows her mother!
The old lady smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Your mother is a clever little devil, and she's also very pretty. She often comes to the pharmacy to play. Speaking of which, it was my cousin who named your mother!"
Xu Yali was born in the first year Xu Yiping came to the pharmacy. She was rosy-cheeked and very lovable. Both she and Nianci gave her a gift. At that time, Xu Yiping was worried about his daughter's name. He thought of several names but felt they were not elegant. So Nianci simply named her Yali.
Lu Mo, who was silently reading a magazine nearby, was also very surprised. He never expected that Ye Qingqing had such a deep connection with the old lady.
“Your maternal grandfather was an honest man with a kind heart, but good people are always bullied. Your maternal grandmother was also a soft-hearted person. Fortunately, your mother was clever from a young age and took charge of the household at a young age. Your maternal grandfather and grandmother had to listen to her.”
The old lady recalled the past. Although Xu Yiping had left Yimintang, he often visited her in private because his residence was not far from the pharmacy and Nianci and Mingcheng both liked the little girl Yali.
Xu Yali was only seven or eight years old when she started managing the family accounts. Xu Yiping and his wife had to ask their daughter for money and explain why they needed it, otherwise they wouldn't give her a single penny.
Ye Qingqing had never heard Xu Yali mention these things before. In her memory, Xu Yali always had a gloomy face and she had never seen her smile. She never expected that her mother was so naughty when she was a child!
