Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin

Kapitel 59

"Go and talk to him properly. He might be afraid of causing trouble if he speaks out, or perhaps he's afraid of Tang Keyou."

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "If he really has made up his mind not to say anything, it won't matter how many times you try to find him."

Yang Nianqing thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems that he and Madam Ye have some kind of relationship."

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.

She then told them what she had learned from Tang Kesi: "Since Madam Ye dislikes him and forbids her children from getting close to him, why doesn't she allow others to make things difficult for him?"

After a long silence.

Nangong Xue nodded and said, "He is indeed somewhat suspicious. He is probably an important figure. If everything really has nothing to do with him, he would have no reason to lie and hide it."

Yang Nianqing rubbed her nose: "Yes, it must be related to him."

Li You suddenly turned his head and carefully examined her for a long time, his long eyebrows slowly furrowing.

.

"What are you doing? Where are you going?" she cried out as she struggled.

Li You didn't say a word, but just kept dragging her forward quickly.

She got angry: "Where exactly are you taking me?"

"Looking for someone."

"Who should I look for?"

"arrive."

Yang Nianqing was puzzled, but when she looked up, she saw that yellowish-brown shadow.

He was still tending to the flowers.

Li You remained silent and did not rush over.

"What are you doing now?" Qiu Bailu spoke first, her usually calm face now showing a hint of headache. Yang Nianqing found it extremely amusing.

However, before she could react, she was thrown in front of him.

.

"Look at her."

Qiu Bailu glanced at it only once, then her face darkened even more: "Minor typhoid fever."

Yang Nianqing finally understood.

He brought me here to see a doctor! I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and dizziness. I guess I caught a cold from standing at the door all night. Judging from Qiu Bailu's complexion, it must be because she was angry that such a minor typhoid fever had bothered the great doctor.

Li You coughed and said, "I just feel more at ease knowing that a great doctor like you can treat minor typhoid fever."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bailu's expression indeed improved somewhat, but she still looked at him indifferently and said, "Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, aren't you afraid I'll find it too lenient and end up using more?"

Yang Nianqing immediately shuddered and gently tugged at Li You: "Never mind, we can just go outside and get some medicine. No need to trouble Brother Qiu."

YYD thinks typhoid fever is too mild. What if he makes himself more severely ill before he can make a miraculous recovery? Wouldn't that be a living hell?

Seeing her like this, Qiu Bailu's eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness.

Li You stood still, looking quite pleased: "The illness will only decrease with treatment. How dare I compare a great doctor to those quacks? I am completely at ease."

Qiu Bailu's face darkened again, but the next moment, he did something that neither of them expected.

.

“There is no ink or brush here,” he said with a faint smile, looking at Li You. “You know I never repeat myself, so remember that.”

Then, he began to recite the entire prescription fluently and eloquently.

Li You stared wide-eyed.

Presumably feeling that she had finally angered him, Qiu Bailu said leisurely, "Go and get the medicine yourself."

Li You remained motionless.

He asked, knowing the answer already, "What are you still doing here?"

"I'll find a way to get you to read it again."

“I’ve already forgotten,” Qiu Bailu glanced at him, then squatted down again to tend to his flowers. “I always forget my prescriptions as soon as I’ve written them, so there’s no use trying to find a solution.”

Half a day.

Li You sighed: "I didn't expect the great doctor to be so smart. This is really not a good thing."

"As expected, it's not a good thing. Brother Li has finally been brought under control this time." A gentle, smiling voice said.

.

Li You smiled wryly: "I have hated memorizing articles since I was a child, but he has been muttering such a long passage. Brother Nangong, do you have any way to get him to prescribe another one? I will go find some pen and ink."

Nangong Xue suppressed a laugh: "You've always had the most ways to deal with him. If even you don't have them, how could I?"

Li You stared blankly, speechless.

Yang Nianqing found it amusing: "Forget it, it's not a serious illness, just get some medicine."

Nangong Xue coughed with a smile, turned to the side with her hands behind her back, and said casually, "I happen to have an ancestral remedy for typhoid fever. I wonder if Brother Li would dare to use it?"

Before Li You could agree, Yang Nianqing immediately nodded: "Use it, use it. Actually, I feel more at ease using yours than using Brother Qiu's. Why would a minor typhoid fever need a great doctor? It would be a waste."

.

Room.

Yang Nianqing rubbed her stuffy nose while grinding ink, finding it very amusing: "You guys are always bickering, it's so funny."

Nangong Xue said in a serious tone, "I am about to read it. Brother Li, please read it carefully."

Li You picked up his pen and smiled, saying, "I'm all ears."

Nangong Xue indeed began to read aloud.

Why does that sound so familiar?

While Yang Nianqing was wondering, Li You's pen flew across the paper. His calligraphy, like the man himself, was vigorous and unrestrained, exuding a bright and elegant style that was refreshing and uplifting.

Nangong Xue exclaimed, "Beautiful calligraphy!"

But after writing only a few lines, Li You suddenly stopped, stared at him without saying a word.

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Why aren't you writing anymore?"

Yang Nianqing was also confused and nudged him, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Li You looked at Nangong Xue for a long time before finally sighing, "I truly admire Brother Nangong's talent. If I had known this earlier, I should have asked you to memorize the essays for me back in the academy."

Nangong Xue only smiled and remained silent.

Yang Nianqing asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"

Li You shook his head: "Haven't you realized that this prescription is the one Old Qiu just read aloud?"

Good heavens! That prescription was incredibly long!

Yang Nianqing was dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She grabbed Nangong Xue's arm and her eyes lit up: "Brother Nangong, you... you have a photographic memory, no, you have a memory that you hear! You're amazing!"

Seeing her like this, Nangong Xue didn't mind at all and smiled as she let her do whatever she wanted for a while.

Yang Nianqing was still incredibly excited—goodness, if this photographic memory were in modern times, what else could it be but genius! Exams would be a piece of cake!

"Genius, what is a genius?!" She patted Nangong Xue's shoulder, her face full of admiration. "And Brother Nangong, you're so handsome, a genius and handsome guy. If you came to our side, you would definitely seduce a lot of people!"

Nangong Xue smiled.

Li You sighed, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to Nangong Xue. "I'm telling you, there's a beautiful woman right in front of you who's captivated by you. Aren't you going to seize the opportunity?"

.

Nangong Xue was stunned.

Li You was also stunned.

"Big brother, haven't you noticed yet?" Yang Nianqing coughed twice and said mysteriously with a smile, "That cute little Tang girl seems to admire you a lot."

Nangong Xue then shook her head, her expression returning to its gentle tone.

Li You murmured, "You've startled me with what you've said. Luckily it's Miss Tang, not Miss Yang, otherwise Brother Nangong would really be in trouble."

Yang Nianqing immediately became furious.

"What's wrong with me?" She grabbed Nangong Xue and said, "Brother Nangong, tell me, if I, Yang Nianqing, like you, wouldn't you feel unlucky?"

Nangong Xue was stunned again.

Li You shook his head: "I really don't understand. How could a girl ask such a question?"

"So what if I ask? The truth is the truth," she winked at Nangong Xue furtively, a hint of threat in her eyes. "Tell me, is marrying me really that unlucky?"

Big brother, how dare you not give me face? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is Yang Nianqing's forte.

Nangong Xue snapped out of his daze and understood her implication. A look of helplessness and amusement immediately appeared on his handsome face. He probably had never answered such a difficult question before.

Li You picked up his pen again and sighed, "Poor thing, it's better not to trouble Brother Nangong. Miss Yang has been rubbing her nose for so long, but she's still not in a hurry to get treatment?"

I'm going to stand my ground with you today! Yang Nianqing glared at her: "I'm not in a hurry!"

finally--

Nangong Xue glanced at Li You, then looked at her, and smiled, "You're very good."

.

"Did you hear that?" Yang Nianqing sneered. "The handsome guy said I'm great!"

Li You suppressed a laugh and nodded in agreement: "You are indeed very good, but you are a little timid, a little loud, a little short-sighted, and a little short-tempered."

Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes at him again, then looked gratefully at Nangong Xue and asked gossipily, "Brother Nangong, what do you think of Miss Tang?"

Nangong Xue shook her head and smiled, "Write the prescription first."

He doesn't like her? Yang Nianqing didn't dare to ask any further, and started to overthink again: Could it be that he thinks Tang Kesi isn't pretty enough? Or does he not like younger girls, feeling the age difference is too big? Or does he prefer the gentle type?
