Chapter 122 Visit to Dr. Huang
Chapter 122 Visit to Dr. Huang
Mi Yao picked out the two largest ginsengs, dug them out carefully, wrapped them in red cloth, and placed them in a sandalwood box. Turning back, she saw that the purple Ganoderma lucidum on the dry wooden stump had grown as big as a small pot, with deep lines on it. The Ganoderma lucidum had a lacquer-like luster, and the flesh had turned rust-brown. The stem was short and very thick. When she smelled it carefully, she could smell the unique scent of fungi.
Also wrapped it in red cloth and put it in a box. Mi Yao looked around to see if there was anything else to give as a gift. One cannot just give three kinds of gifts.
Finally, his eyes fell on the lotus pond. A nine-petal black lotus was flapping its petals, about to bloom, so Mi Yao went to the medicine cabinet and took out two petals of the nine-petal black lotus.
Finally, I have collected all four gifts.
Go back to sleep peacefully.
After breakfast the next day, I left Jingfeng Yaju.
According to the address given by Mr. Huang, No. 18 East Street, East Street is where high-ranking officials and people of great status live.
We arrived at the Huang Mansion. The gate was painted vermilion and there were two huge stone lions at the door. Two servants were standing at the door in high spirits.
"Young man, my name is Mi Yao, and I'm here to visit Mr. Huang. Please let him know." Mi Yao said with kindness.
"Oh, you're Doctor Mi who saved the young master of the Zhao family." When the servant heard the name Mi Yao, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"That's right." Mi Yao nodded.
"Doctor Mi, please wait a moment. I will go and report it right away." The servant ran in to report the news.
"Young man, you often have night sweats when you sleep, but the sweating symptoms disappear after you wake up. Sometimes you feel upset and your hands and feet feel hot?" Mi Yao looked at the dark circles under the eyes of another servant, which were obviously caused by lack of rest.
"That's right, Doctor Mi. This disease has troubled me for a long time. Is there any cure?" The servant bowed hurriedly.
"Let me feel your pulse."
The servant quickly stretched out his hand.
"You are born with a congenital deficiency. Your mother was born prematurely, which caused you to have insufficient Qi and blood. This is why you have the symptoms of liver qi stagnation. This disease is also easy to treat. Use Schisandra chinensis, oysters, floating wheat, Polygonum multiflorum, and wolfberry to boil it. The effect will be seen in half a month."
"Thank you, Doctor Mi." The servant said as he was about to take out his purse.
"We are destined to meet today, just give me five cents." It is not a special case for me to treat someone, so I will definitely not treat him for free.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Mi." The servant took out the money, and the servant who delivered the letter also came back.
"Doctor Mi, my old man is at home, please come in." The servant brought Mi Yao in.
Mi Yao followed behind, carrying a gift box.
As expected, Mr. Huang's family is descended from an imperial physician and is quite wealthy. The courtyard is decorated extremely luxuriously.
The screen wall is like a sheep with horns, but somewhat unlike one. After turning around the wall, you can see ten gatehouses, with gatehouses with hanging flowers on both sides and corridors on all sides, which is magnificent. A road paved with white marble leads directly to the archway, and this side is a different world.
In the courtyard, a cool fragrance fills the air. Even in October, there are still so many flowers blooming in Mr. Huang's house. Looking around, there are lush and green exotic vines and herbs, with vines and creepers leading to each other. The cobblestone path leads directly to the artificial lake.
After crossing the small bridge, we saw Mr. Huang sitting in the pavilion with four young men and women.
"Old man, Doctor Mi is here." The servant retreated.
"Mi girl, come here quickly." Mr. Huang greeted her warmly.
The four young men and women around him also stood up.
"Hello, Mr. Huang." Mi Yao was wearing emerald green Shu brocade today. Although it was elegant, it was still grand. A fallen horse bun and a white jade hairpin were the finishing touches.
"Doctor Mi, you are too polite. These are my four grandchildren, Shuyao, Wanyan, Jiashu, and Yunyu. Come and meet Doctor Mi." Doctor Huang was smiling.
Four young men and women came over to give Mi Yaowen an arm.
"Dr. Mi is fine."
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies!" Mi Yao looked at a few young men and women, all of whom had outstanding looks. Needless to say, their attire was gorgeous, with jade pendants around their waists and hairpins on their heads, which were things that ordinary people could never earn in their entire lives.
Fortunately, although the young men and women had such a strong and profound background as Mr. Huang, their expressions were calm and indifferent, without the slightest impetuousness or sense of superiority. Instead, they looked at Mi Yao eagerly, which made Mi Yao feel a little favorable towards them.
Mi Yao smelled a faint herbal scent on the two men, so she concluded that the two young men were either doctors or had been dealing with herbal medicine for a long time.
"Girl, come and sit down!" Mr. Huang personally led Mi Yao to a seat.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang!" Mi Yaohui smiled.
Huang Jiashu immediately waved to a place not far away, and four maids came over with cakes and freshly brewed tea.
Mi Yao also brought over her gift, "Mr. Huang, thank you for the generous gift you gave me yesterday. To be honest, I have dozens of sets of gold and silver needles, and also a set of jade needles with only nine needles, and the jade quality is average. However, Mr. Huang's jade needles are of excellent quality, and are three times more effective than gold needles. Mi Yao likes them very much." Mi Yao spoke sincerely.
Huang Shuyao, Huang Wanyan, Huang Jiashu, and Huang Yunyu looked at each other. Grandpa actually gave the royal heirloom to this Doctor Mi? That set of jade needles cannot be bought with a lot of silver. It is a symbol of the Huang family's glory and strength. Although several people were shocked in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces. Grandpa's attitude towards Doctor Mi was enough to show that Doctor Mi's medical skills were amazing.
"Haha, I'm glad you like it. I'll tell you something from my heart, little girl. This set of jade needles is an heirloom of my Huang family. But our family suffered a disaster in the early years, and many medical books were lost. Even the Huang family only prospered since my grandfather's lifetime, but no one knows how to use these jade needles. They have been covered in dust in my family's warehouse for nearly a hundred years." Old Huang seemed to have thought of something bad, and his tone became heavy.
"Mr. Huang, the jade needle is so precious that Mi Yao cannot accept it. I will return it tomorrow." Mi Yao really didn't know that the jade needle was so precious and had such a long history. She thought that something big must have happened to Huang's ancestors.
"No, girl, since I gave it to you, it's a gift. There's no reason to take back a gift that has been given away. The jade needle is precious, but it has only been covered in dust in my Huang family. It will only play its role when it is in your hands. If you really feel bad, my grandchildren have some achievements in medical skills. If possible, you can teach them a few tricks." Old Huang looked at his most proud grandchildren, but now, they are far inferior to Mi Yao.
Mi Yao secretly thought that Mr. Huang was a cunning fox, and it turned out that he gave her the jade needle because he wanted her to take care of his grandchildren.
"Mr. Huang, you are too polite. As long as the gentlemen and ladies are willing, Mi Yao will naturally give everything she has." Mi Yao has never been a selfish person. If she can teach more people and let them save more patients, it will be worth her coming here.
Huang Shuyao, Huang Wanyan, Huang Jiashu and Huang Yunyu looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
"Thank you, Dr. Mi." The four said in unison.
