Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

This matter has to start with Doctor Wu of Xinglinchuntang, who specializes in pediatrics.

Some time ago, he received an invitation from the Minister of War Li Fu to treat the cold of the only grandson in the mansion.

When we went there, we found out that the young master Sun had been treated by the court doctor for some time, but the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine and treated the fever as a cold. After taking the medicine for a long time, the symptoms of fever and cough did not improve.

When Doctor Wu pointed out the mistake, the old lady of the Li family immediately became furious. She had the court doctor dragged away, beaten with thirty boards, and then kicked him out.

This scene made Doctor Wu frightened.

However, the thing he was most worried about still happened. Even though he changed the prescription to one for treating fever, the young master of the Li family took the medicine for three days but there was still no improvement.

Doctor Wu quickly adjusted the prescription again and increased the strength of the medicine, but not only did it fail to improve Young Master Sun's condition, but two days after taking the medicine, he had a high fever and had convulsions at night.

Doctor Wu used acupuncture to temporarily stop the convulsions and high fever, but within two hours, the patient had a fever and convulsions again.

"Doctor Wu, what's going on? Why is my sweet grandson getting worse in your hands? Did you use the wrong prescription?"

The old lady of the Li family asked bluntly.

Doctor Wu quickly explained that as doctors, they could not cure all colds, otherwise so many people would not have died from colds.

According to their long-term research, wind chills are also divided into two types according to their severity:

Some colds may seem serious, but they can be cured with medicine.

Some colds cannot be cured no matter what prescription is used.

He did not prescribe the wrong medicine, it just happened that the illness of Young Master Sun of the Li family was very difficult to treat, and neither medicine nor acupuncture was effective.

The old lady of the Li family was furious when she heard this:

"How dare you! You are not a good doctor, yet you dare to curse my grandson to have an incurable disease!"

"I'm making this clear today. If you can't cure my grandson, then go back to your Xinglin Chuntang and ask other doctors with better medical skills to find a solution! If you can't cure my grandson's illness within five days, you can forget about staying in Nandu City!"

"If anything happens to my dear grandson, all the doctors in your clinic will be buried with him!"

This unreasonable and arrogant attitude made Doctor Wu dare not argue with him anymore.

Although Xinglin Chuntang had many doctors with excellent medical skills, they were ultimately of the lowest class. They had angered the powerful Minister of War in Southern Capital, and killing these doctors was as easy as killing an ant.

Doctor Wu had no choice but to rush back to the clinic for help.

Doctor Zhou, the owner of the clinic, was also frowned when he heard this.

He knew that it was difficult to accept consultations from these powerful families.

It would be fine if it was just the imperial physicians, but these doctors serving the common people were threatened and targeted at all the time.

More importantly, when faced with inquiries from powerful families, they have no power to refuse.

Because everyone knows that the imperial doctors in Nandu City have far less experience in diagnosis than the doctors in folk clinics, so they are more inclined to look for these doctors with superb medical skills.

"Even if they went to ask the imperial physician in the palace, there would be nothing they could do. Otherwise, no princes or grandchildren in the capital would have died of the cold."

Another doctor in the clinic said indignantly.

Doctor Wu sighed with a sad face:

"We doctors know this, but the Li family won't listen. The Shangshu Mansion has always been overbearing and not a good family. If anything happens to Young Master Li, they will definitely take it out on us. What will we do then?"

Thinking about the demise of the clinic and the hard work of several generations going down the drain, the owner of the clinic, Dr. Zhou, felt angry and unwilling.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"I will go to the Shangshu Mansion in person."

Madam Li looked at the doctor in front of her with suspicion:

"You mean, you can't do anything about my grandson's illness, but the Taoist temple called Cihang Temple can cure it?"

She has been in Nandu City for so many years, but she has never heard of the reputation of Cihang Temple.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Doctor Zhou could only bring up what happened in the Censorate as evidence.

"You can go to the Censorate and ask around and you'll find out. Old Madam Yuan was indeed critically ill a few days ago. When she came back from leaving the city that night, she was already well again."

After saying this, he pleaded again with a worried look on his face, "The Yuan family told us to keep this a secret that day. I had no choice but to tell you. Please don't let anyone know. If Cihang Temple asks about it, please don't say it was me who leaked it!"

Old Madam Li waved her hand impatiently and sent him off to take care of her beloved grandson.

He immediately sent people to the Censorate to find out the truth.

When people came back, it was already evening.

After having a great time outside all day, Master Li came to inquire about his son's condition as soon as he returned home.

Hearing his mother talking about Cihang Temple, Master Li stroked his beard and said with a profound look:

"Mountain medicine, fortune-telling and divination are all from the same family. It's not surprising that some Taoists know medicine."

Although Madam Li's eldest son did not achieve any success in officialdom, he was much more knowledgeable than the women in the inner court.

After receiving her son's affirmation, Mrs. Li immediately said:

"Then my daughter-in-law and I will take Gui Ge'er up the mountain to the Cihang Temple to seek medical treatment tomorrow! We must ask the Cihang Temple to cure Gui Ge'er!"

Upon hearing this, Master Li immediately frowned in disapproval:

"Mother is so anxious! How can Gui go to the mountains to get some fresh air when he has caught a cold?"

"Besides, we are not a high-ranking official in the Shangshu Mansion. There is no need for us to come here in person. They are just a group of Taoist nuns in a rural Taoist temple. We can just ask a servant to ask them to come and treat Gui'er."

Madam Li smiled and said:

"I was so focused on curing Gui'er's illness that I forgot about this. It would be too much of an honor for them to come personally. I will send someone to ask them to come to the Shangshu Mansion immediately to treat Gui'er's illness."

Having said that, without caring about the inconvenience of traveling so late at night, he immediately called a well-respected maid named Jiang to come in and give instructions on the matter.

People like the Li family have never taken ordinary people seriously.

On that freezing night, Nanny Jiang was ordered by her master to go to a distant mountain to invite someone. The journey was cold, dark and bumpy, so she was naturally full of resentment.

Of course, there won’t be any good attitude when you come to Cihang Temple.

After knocking on the door of the Taoist temple and introducing himself, he said arrogantly:

"My young master Sun has caught a cold and is seriously ill. I heard that your Taoist temple can treat him. Please ask the Taoist nun who knows medicine to come with me immediately!"

The last time the female Taoist priests at Cihang Temple encountered such an arrogant person was when it was the wet nurse of the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan.

However, later even the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife knelt down for three days to apologize for this, so what did this nanny from the Shangshu Mansion count for?

"Wait, I'll go inform the hall master first."

After saying that, he closed the door and isolated the people outside.

Nanny Jiang was so angry that she almost died.

The gatekeeper Kun Dao informed Hui An, who then reported back to Chen Qing Zhu.

Chen Qingzhu naturally refused without hesitation:

"Tell them that Cihang Temple never provides medical treatment to outsiders. If you want to seek treatment at Cihang Temple, please find out the rules clearly before coming."

Thinking of the last time Huiming was slapped twice by Madam Liu, she added,

"Bring a few more people with you to meet them. If they want to pester you or start a fight, don't be polite with them."

If it were any other mansion, Chen Qingzhu might not be so rude, but she did not have a good impression of Minister Li's family.

Li Qianhu's brother-in-law, Minister Qian, is a capable subordinate of Minister Li.

In this purge of Minister Qian, Minister Li sacrificed his own chariot to save his own chariot, and the Li family was not implicated.

In fact, it was at most a case of lax discipline or oversight. If the emperor were to let him off the hook, he would only be fined a year or two.

But this does not mean that the Li family is innocent.

Although it is not known whether the Li family colluded with the Japanese pirates, they also did a lot of evil in terms of exploiting the people and robbing their property.

Hui'an took the order and took people to convey Chen Qingzhu's order.

Being rejected in such a high-handed manner, the people in Minister Li's mansion were naturally unwilling to give up, as they were known for their overbearing style.

"If you don't give Madam Shangshu face, do you still want to open this Taoist temple? I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"

Nanny Jiang threatened directly.

Hui An and the others were naturally not afraid at all, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Cihang Temple has its own rules. If you want to ask Cihang Temple to do something, even if the Shangshu comes in person, you have to abide by the rules."

Seeing that they were outnumbered and holding sticks in their hands, Nanny Jiang did not dare to act rashly. She said a few harsh words and took her people back to the Shangshu Mansion.

He reported Cihang Temple's reply to Madam Li with exaggeration.

Old Madam Li had never expected that there would be someone in the Southern Capital who would dare to be so disrespectful to the Shangshu Mansion.

I was so angry that I slapped the coffee table:

"Well, these Taoist nuns are really bold!"

"Tell Li Da to bring dozens of people. Even if we have to kidnap her, bring the Taoist nun who can heal illnesses to me!"

As for the crime of disrespecting the Shangshu Mansion, she would naturally have to wait until her grandson's illness was cured before she could settle the case.
