"Mr. Xiao, you are here."
Liu Bo, who got the news, hurried out.
"Haha, Uncle Liu, didn't I tell you to just call me by my name?"
Xiao Chen looked at him and said with a smile.
"Based on what you did, I should call you 'sir'."
Liu Bo looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
Hearing what Uncle Liu said, Xiao Chen was stunned. What did I do?
Seeing Xiao Chen's puzzled look, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "What Mr. Xiao has done for the Chinese medicine community has spread... There are not many people I, Old Liu, admire in my life, and Mr. Xiao is one of them."
"Um...what did I do?"
Xiao Chen hesitated and asked.
He felt like he didn't do anything.
"Mr. Xiao brought out so many ancient pharmacopoeias, including many lost medical techniques. This is a great contribution."
Liu Bo said.
"Oh, this matter, haha, it's not worth mentioning."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized and then waved his hand.
"How could such a small matter spread throughout the traditional Chinese medicine community?"
"For Mr. Xiao, this is a trivial matter, but for the Chinese medicine community, it is a big deal."
Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Chen with admiration.
"Mr. Yao has said publicly more than once that Mr. Xiao has saved the entire Chinese medicine community."
“…”
Xiao Chen's face twitched. Is this how Yao Lao tries to attract hatred from him?
Fortunately, he is not involved in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise, based on what Yao Lao said, many people would not accept him.
"Mr. Xiao, stop talking. Let's go to the medicine garden."
Liu Bo laughed.
"The old man is watering the herbs. He will be very happy to see you."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and followed Liu Bo inside.
"Uncle Liu, I heard Yixuan say before that you are Yao Lao's disciple?"
"No, at most half."
Uncle Liu shook his head.
"I like medicine, but I am not very talented. Fortunately, Yao Lao did not despise me and let me follow him..."
"Haha, studying medicine, sometimes being smart is not a good thing."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"In fact, it's not just medicine, many fields are like this."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Liu Bo was stunned, because Yao Lao had also said the same thing.
"Uncle Liu, have you never been practicing medicine?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, I have been learning from Yao Lao and taking care of all the affairs in Yao Mansion."
Liu Bo nodded.
"As for treating patients, I haven't done that for many years."
"Haha, following Yao Lao all day, Uncle Liu's medical skills must be quite good."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Maybe 'Ten years of hard study, no one cares, but one success will make you famous all over the world'."
"I don't dare to think about those things. I am already very happy to be able to learn from Master Yao."
Uncle Liu shook his head.
"Nothing more to ask for."
"Doesn't Liu Bo want to be a great doctor and treat patients?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course I missed it a few years ago, but I've gotten used to it these years. Life is pretty good now."
Uncle Liu smiled.
"Mr. Yao said that doctors have a kind heart. Those who study medicine must be responsible for their patients and even more so for their lives... If I make a mistake and delay the treatment of the patient, it would be a serious sin."
"hehe."
When Xiao Chen heard Liu Bo say this, he smiled and did not continue the topic.
"Didn't Yixuan come back with you this time?"
Uncle Liu also changed the subject and asked.
"No, she's been quite busy lately."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I came to the capital this time for something. Since I'm here, I naturally want to come and see Yao Lao."
"Um."
Liu Bo nodded.
"Mr. Xiao is thoughtful."
As they were talking, they came to the medicine garden.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Chen saw Yao Qihuang bending over to water the plants.
At this time, Yao Qihuang was wearing a straw hat and loose clothes, and did not look like a master of traditional Chinese medicine at all.
Liu Bo wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
He did not disturb Yao Qihuang, but watched from the side.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yao Qihuang stood up and saw Xiao Chen next to him.
He was stunned at first, then showed surprise.
"Xiao Chen? When did you come?"
"Haha, I just arrived too."
Xiao Chen smiled and stepped forward.
"Since you were serious, I didn't bother you."
"Just tinker with it and water it."
Yao Qihuang's face was full of smiles as he looked towards the entrance of the medicine garden.
"You came back by yourself? Where's Yixuan?"
"She hasn't come back yet. She's busy in Longhai."
Xiao Chen replied.
"Well, come on, sit down and talk."
Yao Qihuang nodded, then told Liu Bo to make tea.
"When did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I arrived yesterday and thought I'd come over to surprise you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What surprise do I need for an old man like me?"
Yao Qihuang took off his straw hat and put it aside.
"Will you stay in the capital for a few days?"
"It should only be two or three days, not too long."
Xiao Chen replied.
"I came here for Su Qing, she is now in the capital..."
"Oh, I know that. She came to visit me when she first came."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"How is this girl doing in the capital? Is she used to it?"
"She came to see you?"
Xiao Chen was surprised that Su Qing didn't say this.
Moreover, he learned yesterday that Amelia Su had also been to the Han family and visited Mr. Han.
He didn't know this before.
"Um."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"Hehe, she didn't tell me."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I should be used to coming to the capital, but I've lost a lot of weight."
"Maybe the rhythm is different. I'm a little busier here."
Yao Qihuang said.
"Tell her to come to our house when she has time."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
While the two were talking, Uncle Liu came over with tea.
"Master Yao, Mr. Xiao, have some tea."
"Um."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"Xiao Chen, try this tea. I grew it and roasted it myself."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen was surprised, he picked it up and took a sip, the aroma was not too strong, it had a refreshing taste.
“It’s pretty good.”
"hehe."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"It's not as good as those good teas, it's just for fun."
While the two were talking, Liu Bo was not idle, and continued what Yao Qihuang had not finished.
"How is Liu Bo's medical skills?"
Xiao Chen asked while drinking tea and looking at Liu Bo who was watering the plants.
"very good."
Yao Qihuang seemed surprised that Xiao Chen asked this, but he answered anyway.
"very good?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised to hear what Yao Qihuang said.
You know, it's quite remarkable that Yao Qihuang could say "very good".
There are tens of thousands of Chinese medicine practitioners, but only a few can be praised as "very good" by Yao Qihuang. You have to pick one in ten thousand!
He couldn't understand why, since Yao Qihuang said that Liu Bo had excellent medical skills, he was made a housekeeper instead of a doctor.
"Yes, very good."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"You have inherited 70% of my teachings, right?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised. To have inherited 70% of Yao Qihuang's true teachings was not only great, but he could already be considered a "miracle doctor".
"Are you wondering why I didn't let him practice medicine but stay with me?"
Yao Qihuang asked with a smile.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“The time has not come yet.”
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"At least, he must have 90% of the true teachings before I will let him go... Before you, the person I had the highest hopes for was not other disciples, but him."
"Uncle Liu?"
Xiao Chen looked at Uncle Liu who was watering the plants. Did Yao Lao think so highly of him?
"Yes, that's why I want him to stay with me because I have high hopes for him... He doesn't have much talent, but he is willing to work hard and put his heart into research."
Yao Qihuang explained.
"So that's how it is."
After listening to Yao Qihuang's explanation, Xiao Chen suddenly understood.
"Master Yao, Uncle Liu is already this old...if you don't let him go, it will be too late, right?"
"Haha, it's not too late. Once you have completed your studies, it's not too late even if you are eighty."
Yao Qihuang smiled.
"Besides, he is only in his fifties. You all call him Uncle Liu. You are calling him old."
Xiao Chen also smiled. Since Yao Lao knew what was going on, he didn't say much.
Afterwards, he handed over the ancient pharmacopoeia that he had prepared for Yao Qihuang.
Originally, Yao Qihuang wanted to talk to Xiao Chen about his 'highly anticipated' disciple, but after seeing the ancient pharmacopoeia, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly flipped through it.
He could not even pay attention to Xiao Chen who was beside him, and only had eyes for the ancient pharmacopoeia.
Xiao Chen smiled, drank a sip of tea, and stood up to help Liu Bo.
Just as Xiao Chen was helping to water the plants, Hua Qingfeng came in from outside.
"I heard you were here, it's true."
Hua Qingfeng looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Why is it still watered?"
"Haha, Mr. Yao is reading a book. I have nothing to do, so I thought I would go and pay my respects to you after I finish watering the plants."
Xiao Chen looked at Hua Qingfeng and said with a smile.
"You just coax me. If you want to pay your respects, you should go earlier instead of me running over to find you."
Hua Qingfeng curled her lips.
"Haha, I'll definitely visit you first next time."
Xiao Chen smiled, took an ancient book from the small table and gave it to Hua Qingfeng.
"I've prepared it for you, too. You'll definitely like it."
When Hua Qingfeng saw it, her eyes widened. The lost secret book of the witch doctor?
Then...she also threw Xiao Chen aside and immersed herself in it just like Yao Qihuang.
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Forget it, just continue watering the plants.
However, he thought it was normal. It was because of this attitude that their medical skills were so superb.
Xiao Chen chatted with Liu Bo from time to time. After about half an hour, Yao Qihuang raised his head.
He turned around and was about to ask Xiao Chen a few questions when he suddenly found that the person next to him had been replaced by his daughter-in-law Hua Qingfeng.
"Where's Xiao Chen?"
Yao Qihuang was startled, and when he looked forward, he saw Xiao Chen.
"Master Yao, have you finished reading?"
Xiao Chen came over and asked.
"Well, come on, let's discuss some things that we don't quite understand."
Yao Qihuang nodded.
"good."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, then sat down beside him and started discussing with Yao Qihuang.
After the two discussed for a while, Hua Qingfeng also joined in, and the discussion between the two turned into a discussion between three people.
Traditional Chinese medicine and witch doctors still have something in common.
Yao Qihuang also highly approved of the witch doctor, otherwise he would not have let Hua Qingfeng be his daughter-in-law.
Xiao Chen also liked this atmosphere very much. He was not limited to a few ancient books, but also talked about the contents of the "Medical Volume" in the "Five Volumes of Shennong". After a discussion, he also gained a lot.
