[Chapter 166: The Doctor's Kindness]
"Why are you hesitating now? Take it to the Imperial Hospital and find a doctor! The one who is sick this time is Li Yan, the pillar of our family. If anything happens to him, our daughter's world will fall apart!"
Seeing his wife angry, Prime Minister Shen waved his hand and comforted her: "You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing. Don't I know the connection between them? I was thinking that even the level of the chief physician is not necessarily higher than that of the genius doctor.
If you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. Since the miracle doctor has already prescribed a prescription and is willing to help Li Yan diagnose and treat him, is there any need for him to be seen by a regular doctor?"
Mrs. Shen's expression finally eased.
She said, "Daughter, don't you know that they are looking for a miracle doctor? She is just worried and wants to have a little more assurance.
Just do this for her, even if it's just to comfort her daughter, it will be of some use."
Prime Minister Shen nodded.
Because there were many things going on in the palace, Prime Minister Shen did not stay at home for long and immediately returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, he went directly to the Imperial Hospital and showed the pulse record and prescription that had been re-copied by his family to the chief physician of the hospital.
Let him help to discuss it in detail.
The old chief physician of Wushuang Imperial Hospital is over sixty years old this year. He has been in the hospital for more than thirty years. He is a truly respected person with superb medical skills.
After the old doctor looked at what Prime Minister Shen brought over, he remained silent for a long time.
When Prime Minister Shen began to doubt whether his son-in-law's illness was really serious, to the point where even the chief physician could not tell whether the prescription was effective, the old doctor picked up a pen and wrote a few words at the bottom of the prescription.
Unbiased, well-proportioned, very good!
Seeing these words, Prime Minister Shen couldn't help but let out a long breath, stroked his beard and smiled.
The old doctor then asked about the condition of the injured person.
After hearing that it was a young man from Prime Minister Shen's family who was highly valued by the elders, he nodded.
He also knew that the person who could be personally consulted by Prime Minister Shen with a prescription must not be an ordinary person.
The main reason for asking this question is to understand the family situation of the injured person.
After knowing that they were Prime Minister Shen's relatives, the old doctor no longer hesitated.
He picked up the pen and quickly wrote down three recipes for medicinal foods, each of which used very expensive medicinal ingredients.
But it must also be effective in maintaining health and boosting energy.
The old doctor gave the recipe to Prime Minister Shen and explained the cooking methods and taboos to him in detail.
Prime Minister Shen naturally wrote them down one by one.
After finishing the prescription, the old doctor began to inquire about the condition of the person who wrote the prescription.
He said that the person who prescribed the medicine had a deep understanding of medicinal materials, his method of prescribing was very unique, and his skills were not inferior to his.
I really want to communicate with him.
Of course, Prime Minister Shen had thought of this a long time ago. After all, how could the level of a "miracle doctor" personally conferred by the emperor be bad?
But can anyone tell others who this miracle doctor is?
I definitely can’t say that.
So Prime Minister Shen said a few vague words and left in a hurry.
The old doctor was left staring at his back and sighing with regret.
Old man Gu Borong, who was named a "miracle doctor" without knowing it, was preparing to go home at this time.
He did not go out to collect waste today. Instead, he ran around outside all day, using his old face to build relationships, and finally got all the medicinal herbs that Cheng Liyan needed.
After a tiring day, he felt dry mouth and even his steps became heavier.
After taking a look at the sun in the sky, Gu Borong knew he had to hurry back.
The little ones at home are still waiting for him to go back and cook.
He cooked a pot of corn grits porridge in the morning before leaving, but he was gone all day, and the three children must have finished the porridge long ago.
Xiaoliu is weak and cannot starve, so he must go back as soon as possible.
Thinking of corn grits porridge, Gu Borong couldn't help but think of the young couple who came yesterday.
It can be said that the rice and flour they delivered yesterday really solved Gu Borong’s big problem!
Gu Borong has taken in a total of six children over the years.
They were all children of his former friends or students.
The families of these children were all knocked down and then met with misfortune.
Some of them have lost both their parents, their relatives have distanced themselves from them, and even orphanages are unwilling to take them in.
In some cases, there are relatives who adopt the children, but they are not good to the children, or they cannot make a living and cannot take care of these children at all.
Gu Borong studied medicine. Doctors are kind-hearted and respect life.
Not to mention that these are all children who have a connection with him.
So he kept them all around him.
The older ones followed him outside during the day to collect waste and pick up scraps, trying to earn a living.
At night, we went back to sleep in a small shack they occupied.
The three younger ones were really too young, and the sixth one was in such poor health that he almost couldn’t be saved twice.
Gu Borong had no choice but to stay by his side.
Fortunately, many of the people they knew in the past two years felt sorry for them and gave them some help, either overtly or covertly.
This allowed Gu Borong and the children to survive with difficulty.
But no matter how difficult it was, he managed to raise these children, and now the older ones can support themselves.
Thinking of this, Gu Borong suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
Gu Borong walked back home sweating profusely, holding a large bag of herbs.
Before he reached the door of his house, he saw his adopted child Xiao Si standing at the door looking out.
He walked a few steps quickly and asked, "Xiao Si, why are you here at this time? Where are your brothers?"
Xiaosi is a boy of four years old. He usually follows his three older brothers to pick up coal cores and waste to sell.
Now, because there were too many people in the city doing the same job as them, the four children could not compete with the adults, so they started running to the suburbs.
Normally they wouldn't be back at noon at this time.
When Xiao Si heard his grandfather’s question, he grinned and looked very happy.
He pointed inside the house and said in a low voice, "Just now a PLA soldier came and brought us a piece of meat! Xiaowu ran to find us, and my eldest brother asked me to come back and keep an eye on it, fearing that someone would steal our meat!"
When he heard someone delivering meat, Gu Borong was stunned at first, then he immediately realized that the person must be Cheng Liyan.
He didn't say anything, but walked past Xiao Si and went straight into the house.
Then he saw the three little boys in the family all squatting around the table, staring at the big bowl with a piece of pork on it, and swallowing their saliva.
Seeing him come in, three heads turned and looked at him eagerly.
