Hu Jie fell ill suddenly and so severely that it scared Hu Ze Yu and his wife half to death.

  They invited Mr. Zhou first.

  Zhou Lao Ye Zi is over sixty years old and a well-known doctor in Yanling Prefecture.

  But Mr. Zhou left after seeing Hu Jie's situation.

  The next day, Hu Ze Yu invited Xia Lao again. Xia Lao also didn't take his pulse or write a prescription, he just took a look and shook his head saying it was no good, then left.

  "It has swollen to this extent, water cannot enter, and medicine cannot be taken. How can the illness be treated?" Both old doctors said, "I am old and my learning is shallow, I am unable to treat Miss, the governor should hire someone else!"

  Mrs. Hu covered her mouth and began to sob.

  Internal injuries cannot be treated with oral medication, how can they be cured?

  Hu Zeyu sent away the doctor and went to invite other doctors.

  Unfortunately, those doctors all had sharp ears and heard that Miss Hu's illness was strange and critical. Even Old Master Zhou and Old Master Xia didn't dare to take her pulse, as they were all uncertain and unwilling to take action.

  Half a month ago, Mrs. Song's illness made the doctors of Yanling Fu remember: this kind of difficult and complicated disease, don't take it on, treating it successfully doesn't bring merit, but failing to treat it will ruin your reputation, it's not worth the effort!

  A drop of water cannot enter, this is a terminal illness!

  Hu Zeyi returned to the Taishou Mansion with a worried look on his face.

  Mrs. Hu asked what was going on: "Where is the doctor?"

  Hu Zeyu recounted the situation.

  Mrs. Hu burst into loud sobs: "These quack doctors, every one of them shrinking from responsibility like a turtle, watching people die without lifting a finger, they deserve to be childless! It was Old Master Gu who cured Mrs. Song's illness, go ask him for help! If something happens to Bihe, I'll follow her to the grave!"

  "But that old man is no longer seeing patients......" Hu Ze Yu was in a dilemma.

  The doctor didn't ask for a diagnosis, it was also self-protection. Mrs. Hu cursed that the family would cut off their sons and grandsons, which is a bit excessive. However, she also spoke impulsively in her anxiety, and Hu Ze Yu didn't mind too much.

  But please ask the old master of the house...

  Hu Ze felt that he was uninvited.

  "This isn't a house call, it's saving a life!" Mrs. Hu cried even more miserably, "You go quickly, if he really doesn't save him, I'll crash to death in front of the Gu family's gate."

  Hu Ze looked at his daughter on the bed, originally so beautiful, now completely disfigured, her face swollen beyond recognition, her lips a dark purple, like someone on the verge of death.

  He was heartbroken!

  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it's worth trying.

  Thinking of this, he got up and went home to take care of his family.

  "...Actually, on Dragon Boat Festival day, Miss Gu's seventh daughter saw Bi'er." Hu Zhuo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "She said that Bi'er should be careful and see a doctor seriously, take some cow yellow musk, otherwise there will be symptoms of throat trouble."

  Hu Ze's footsteps suddenly stopped.

  Mrs. Hu stopped crying too.

  The couple's eyes were fixed tightly on Hu Zhuo.

  "How come you're telling me today?" Mrs. Hu was furious, "If you had told your mother earlier, your mother would have invited a doctor for your sister, and it wouldn't be as critical as it is now! If anything happens to your sister, it's all because of you!"

  She scolds her son for being useless!

  Hu Zhuo thought to himself: My sister is so healthy and doesn't look sick at all, but if I ask a doctor to take a look at her, you'll definitely scold me for cursing my sister. Later on, you'll say that I've been bewitched by Gu Jia's seventh young lady and believed her nonsense, and then there will be another round of nagging.

  These words, Hu Zhuo didn't dare to say. He just said: "Miss Gu Jia Qi doesn't have a pulse, she just took a glance at her sister and said those words. I thought she was just teasing her sister..."

  Mrs. Hu was taken aback again.

  The bright light in her eyes slowly dimmed.

  Like Zhao Daoyuan, a divine doctor, he had to take the pulse and ask for a diagnosis. He would glance at it a few times before saying what the disease was. Isn't that just nonsense?

  Unexpectedly, she spoke nonsense and it all came true, that crow-mouthed Seventh Young Miss Gu!

  Mrs. Hu secretly scolded Gu Jinzhong!

  "Quickly go and invite Old Man Gu to come!" Madam Hu saw that Hu Ze Yu was still standing there thinking about something, so she said loudly, "E'jie's illness is probably due to the curse of that little vixen from the Gu family! If anything happens to E'jie, I won't be finished with the Gu family!"

  Hu Zeyu quickly walked out.

  He wasn't intimidated by Mrs. Hu.

  He was more clever than others, and from his son Hu Zhuo's words, he heard a few unusual things: Gu Jia Qiuzi didn't need to take her pulse to diagnose the cause of the illness. This kind of skill, even Zhao Daoyuan would have to give in a bit.

  Recently, there was a rumor that Miss Gu's seventh daughter cured Mrs. Song's stubborn illness, and everyone thought it was just a joke, including Hu Ze Yu.

  It wasn't until this moment that he was shocked: perhaps it was true!

  Mrs. Song's illness was incurable by all the doctors in Yangzhou, if it were really cured by Miss Gu's family, this medical skill is truly remarkable!

  Miss Gu's Seventh Young Lady knows the cause of the illness and has a way to cure Baby!

  He wished he could grow wings on his ribs and fly straight to Ma Yuanxiang's house.

  ——*——*——

  Ma Yuanxiang visited the Gu family, where Gu Jin was reading with his grandfather.

  A small servant named Si Chuan ran to his father Gu Yanwen's side and said, "Two noble guests have arrived, Third Master invites you to drink tea in the outer courtyard, they want to meet Grandfather Gong."

  The old man had said he wouldn't see guests.

  Gu Yanwen knew Old Master's temper and wouldn't have sent a servant to ask if those two guests didn't have special identities.

  The old man did not respond for a long time.

  Xi Zhen stood aside nervously, giving Gu Jin a signal with her eyes, asking her to help say some good words.

  Gu Jinzhi just smiled and didn't say a word.

  "Where did our honored guest come from?" The old man then asked.

  "One from Nanchang Prefecture and one from Luzhou Prefecture." Officer Shi said, standing up straight. This must have been arranged by Gu Yanwen in advance.

  Nanchang refers to Jiangxi Nanchang in later generations, while Luzhou is Anhui Hefei.

  How did people from these two places get together?

  Shouldn't we be heading towards the capital from Daoling?

  "Then come over." Old Master Gu hesitated again before finally saying it reluctantly. His reluctant tone was accompanied by a faint sigh.

  Someone who can make Mr. Gu come out and meet them must be a big shot.

  Is it King Nanchang and King Luoyang?

  Gu Jinzhi finished reading the book and was about to leave, but the old master glared at her and swung his ruler, pointing at her book: "Continue reciting!"

  Although she was almost twelve years old, the characteristics of a big girl had not developed, so she wore double braids and looked like a little maid. Seeing her, people would only think that she was a delicate little maid, rather than a beautiful girl.

  Grandfather is not as sensitive as mother, always thinking that she is still a naive child and does not need to avoid suspicion of impropriety between men and women.

  Besides, she will be a doctor in the future...

  Gu Jinzhi sat back down and flipped through the book, silently reciting it from memory.

  After a while, Father Gu Yanzhun entered the old man's courtyard with two men. Gu Jinzhi was sitting at his desk and could see them as soon as he looked up.

  Her fingers on the rosewood desk suddenly tightened, and her hands clenched into fists.

  Then she let go quickly again.

  She saw a face that was all too familiar.
