Doctor Zheng was a little more calm and asked:

"Master, if the medical records are correct, this child is only about 3 years old this year, right? Were all these popular vernacular stories written by this child?"

Father Wang Shuli nodded solemnly.

"It is indeed my daughter's humble work. Thank you all for not giving up. She just wrote it casually and her writing style is still immature."

Then the three doctors of the Zheng family turned into book fans. Even the little medicine boy Zheng Yan told the Wang family about several books that had been selling like hot cakes recently.

It was not until this time that the Wang father and son realized that Wang Jinyi had become a well-known author in the urban literary world.

Because of the hot sales of vernacular stories, there were rumors in the market that these books were written by the sons of the Wang family. As a result, another wave of hot sales of vernacular books was promoted.

This was the first time that the Wang family felt the influence of Wang Jinyi's vernacular novels.

It also shocked the two generations of pure literati in the Wang family, father and son. The influence of popular literature is so widespread.

It was just out of politeness, not showing too much surprise.

However, the audience of vernacular stories ranges from old men in their sixties like Doctor Zheng to young children like Zheng Yan.

However, the old doctor Zheng talked about "The Knight-Errant" with great relish and praised it very much. He was so tactless that he recited the opening words of "The Knight-Errant" to Pavilion Master Wang.

"Kill one person every 10 steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles, and when the work is done, leave without leaving any trace, hiding the merit and fame.

What a broad mind he has, with the courage to hide his fame. He is just a child, what will he become when he grows up? "

Wang Jinyi's family members were worried about the condition of their seriously ill child, and they also had to deal with the heartfelt admiration from a bunch of book fans.

Doctor Zheng was still calm. He noticed a practical problem and asked,

"Master, has the young lady been enlightened?"

There is nothing to hide about the children's studies at home. To be honest, the grandfather said affirmatively:

"The child just learned a little from his daughter-in-law."

Xiao Zhengyan interrupted,

"Miss, you can write articles as soon as you get old?"

Wang Shuli replied:

“No, she has studied The Analects, The Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius, and now she is obsessed with Go.

My life is no easier than that of the students who are entering college every day.”

Old Doctor Zheng suddenly had an epiphany, as if he had found the root of the disease.

"Could it be that the child is in this state because of the heavy workload and the excessive pressure he is under?!"

When the Wang family heard this judgment, both the grandfather and the father felt that these were the wrong judgments made by people who had never seen Wang Jinyi study.

But there is no need to show off your child's intelligence, just simply deny it.

"No, she loves reading very much. She won't feel it is a burden, nor will it cause her any pressure. You can rest assured that it won't happen."

At this point, the exploration into the root cause of Wang Jinyi's illness ended in vain.

The servants came back from Guangjitang with the medicine, and the little medicine boy Zheng Yan followed them to teach them how to make the medicine.

"The lead medicine should be boiled in the medicine pot first, and then the whole medicine should be added after the medicinal properties are boiled out!"

Zheng Yan explained to Zhu Yu:

"For highly volatile medicines, add them during the last boiling of the medicine soup to avoid loss of medicinal properties."

Then he carefully filtered the residue with a fine filter, tasted the medicine, personally brought the medicine soup, and followed Zhu Yu to Wang Jinyi's door, repeatedly reminding her of some details about taking the medicine.

He also warned:

“After taking medicine, you should not eat sour or sweet food immediately. As long as it can eliminate the taste of the medicine, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.”

After giving comprehensive instructions, he helped Zhu Yu open the curtain and sent Zhu Yu to give medicine to his idol.

When Zheng Yan returned to the main hall, Doctor Zheng and Pavilion Master Wang were discussing the topic of children's success. Their opinions were more than unified, and they came to the same conclusion that children's growth is greatly influenced by their parents and environment.

Pavilion Master Wang agreed with this and thought that Wang Jinyi’s love of reading might have been influenced by Wang Shuli’s hard work in taking the imperial examinations.

But what Pavilion Master Wang didn't know was that Wang Jinyi's only reliance was the memories and thoughts of his previous life, but this secret was destined to be known by no one.

When the news came from the back house that Wang Jinyi had taken the medicine and it was working well, and she had fallen asleep peacefully, Doctor Zheng checked her pulse and confirmed the effect of the medicine, then he left the yard surrounded by the crowd.

Before leaving, the two families said goodbye in front of the door. The little medicine boy Zheng Yan hurriedly made an unreasonable request:

"Can I meet the person who wrote the book? I'd like her to sign it for me, is that ok?"

The Wang family father and son readily agreed and told Zheng Yan that he could come over for a follow-up visit next time.

When the three people from the Zheng family got on the carriage, Wang Shuli took the wind-killing lantern from the servant and hung it on the carriage. The father and son of the Wang family looked at the warm light as they went away.

After seeing off the old doctor Zheng, I returned to the courtyard and saw a dim lantern in the moon hole of the second gate from afar. When I got closer, I found that it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had also gone out to see off the three doctors from the Zheng family.

The Wang family’s grandparents first went to see their granddaughter who was sleeping peacefully. Seeing that the child was breathing steadily and the room was clean, they felt relieved and left a bunch of instructions before returning to the old house.

Number 9 Yongxing Lane is exceptionally quiet tonight.

Wang Wendong's parents set up dinner in the master bedroom. Even though they were not in the mood, everyone still tried to eat something for the sake of their family's mood.

After dinner, Wang Wendong returned to his study and copied scriptures for his sister, silently praying for her as he copied:

"Please keep my sister safe!"

Wang Wendong sat at the desk with his hands clasped together, then picked up the brush to copy, his expression serious and focused under the oil lamp.

The parents returned to Wang Jinyi's room, and the father sat beside his wife.

"You take a rest, I'll keep watch."

"Mother," Hui Niang said without saying a word. She leaned on her husband's shoulder and narrowed her eyes.

At night, Wang Jinyi opened her eyes. Under the dim oil lamp, she saw a young couple snuggling together at the head of the bed. In the silent bedroom, Wang Jinyi couldn't figure out what day it was.

I felt sore all over from sleeping and wanted to turn over to relieve my muscles and bones, but it was as if my strength was drained away. The bones in my body seemed to have just been put together and were no longer under my control. Turning over was more difficult than summoning a dragon.

Each nerve was waiting to be awakened, as if re-entering the code waiting for the buffer to start.

Wang Jinyi felt that the sensation in her hands, feet, arms and legs was slowly returning. She gently raised her hand, wanting to see which Wang Jinyi she was now.

The slight noise from the bed woke up the mother beside the bed. Almost instantly, Hui Niang turned her head and met her daughter's big eyes in the bed.

Seeing her daughter struggling to raise her hands, the mother climbed directly from her husband's arms to her daughter, hugged Wang Jinyi and repeated:

"Mom is here, Mom is here, we won't leave, we won't leave, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The father also opened his eyes and looked at the mother and daughter with concern.

And what Wang Jinyi saw at this moment was an iconic ancient beauty!
