Chapter 609 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 5
Yun Lang was very happy that Yun Yi pretended that he didn't notice it.
The secret was not exposed in front of so many officials. If the county magistrate still wanted to continue with this matter, he could let Yun Yi go in his place, and he could have a chance to hide away completely.
"But I heard that the princess' foot was sprained very badly, and she has already called all the doctors in Jiangnan area who can treat injuries. I guess she doesn't have time to pay attention to the county magistrate's flattery."
Yun Lang stroked his chin and analyzed seriously.
"I think it should be like this, but you will be going to the academy soon. After you go to the academy, the county magistrate will not be able to take advantage of this matter anymore." Yun Yi said while packing up the books.
Yun Lang nodded and looked at the books that Yun Yi had sorted out. "Xin'er and I are going to the academy, and you, brother, are going to the temple. Then, won't this house be empty? Only my parents are at home. They must be very lonely."
"Then why don't you stay and accompany them?" Yun Yi suggested with a raised eyebrow.
"Hehe, I'd better not do that." Yun Lang laughed twice and refused.
Although he didn't like studying very much, at least he would have more freedom after going to the academy. He would really get sick if he stayed at home all the time.
After Yun Lang and Yun Xin went to the academy, Yun Yi also took his clothes and went to stay at Zhongming Temple outside the city.
Because of the original story of being invited to a banquet by the eldest princess, there has been an endless stream of people coming to the Yun family for cooperation recently, and Master Yun has been very busy.
Mrs. Yun was busy with household affairs and had to deliver supplies to her three children who were away from home from time to time. She was also very busy.
The scene that Yunlang imagined, of an old couple leaning against the door holding hands, waiting for their children to return, did not appear.
-
"Why is it still not getting better? I have been using both external and internal medicines these past few days."
In the Princess's Villa, Sheng Tang looked at Ning Ruli's red and swollen ankle in confusion.
Although the doctors in the folks are not as skilled as the imperial doctors in the palace, in such a large place like Jiangnan, isn't there no doctor who can treat sprains?
"Princess, Doctor Sun's medicine is ready." The maid came over with a bowl of boiled medicine and said.
"Take it out and throw it away. You haven't seen any improvement after eating it for several days. It's all useless." The eldest princess' eyes were cold and she was filled with anger.
Her ankle was red and swollen, and it was extremely painful with the slightest movement. She couldn't even take a step now. How could she not be upset?
The maid didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took the medicine bowl out to pour it out.
"Don't worry, mother. I have already written to father. He will bring the imperial physician to Jiangnan in a few days. The imperial physician has excellent medical skills and will definitely be able to cure the sprain."
Seeing that Ning Ruli was very angry, Sheng Tang brought a bowl of tea over to comfort her.
Ning Ruli leaned on the bed with her eyes closed, trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
She had sprained her ankle before while riding a horse, so why was it so serious this time?
Ultimately, it was because the doctors in Jiangnan were too poor in medical skills and couldn't prescribe the right medicine. It definitely wasn't her fault.
Sheng Tang accompanied Ning Ruli to have lunch before returning to her own courtyard. Just as she was about to rest, the maid stepped forward and said, "Princess, I just heard from Qian Cheng that he knows a doctor who is very good at treating sprains."
"A woodcutter fell from the mountain and broke his legs, but he was able to move freely in less than a month. How about inviting that doctor to treat the princess?"
"He was able to move freely after a month of breaking his leg?" Sheng Tang expressed his doubt. "If there really was such a great doctor, why didn't the prefect report it?"
"Qian Cheng said that the doctor lives deep in the mountains and only appears for one or two months every year. No one can find him at other times. The prefect must not be sure that he can find this person, so he did not report it." The maid guessed.
Sheng Tang nodded in understanding. She knew that the people doing the work below would never seek to gain merit but only to avoid mistakes.
The prefect could not guarantee that he could find the elusive doctor, so he would not report it easily. After all, if he could not find the doctor after reporting, it would mean that he, as the prefect, had failed in his duty.
"Send someone to ask around and try to find the doctor."
Sheng Tang had no hope for this, as she knew that most capable hermits were unwilling to associate with powerful families.
Sending someone to look for it is just a last-ditch effort.
At this time, Sheng Tang was still very confident that the imperial physician brought by her father would definitely be able to cure Ning Ruli's injuries.
But after the imperial physician arrived, he prescribed a prescription for Ning Ruli and prepared some medicine for external application, but there was still no improvement after several days.
Imperial Physician Deng is the best imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital in treating injuries and sprains. Even the emperor was cured when he sprained his arm while hunting last year.
Why is it that when I arrive in Jiangnan, all my medical skills are useless?
"My Lady, good news! Qian Cheng has found out where the doctor is."
Just when everyone was at a loss, the maid came to Sheng Tang and said.
Sheng Tang's face lit up with joy, "Really? Where is it?"
"Qian Cheng went to invite the doctor, but when the doctor heard that we were going to treat the eldest princess, he refused to come." The maid said with difficulty.
Sure enough, all hermits and sages have tempers.
"Have someone prepare a carriage, and I will go and invite him myself."
It is a very normal thing for a daughter to ask a doctor to treat her mother in person.
After riding in the carriage out of the city for more than an hour, we finally stopped near a village.
"Princess, Qian Cheng said that the doctor lives in the thatched cottage in front."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, Sheng Tang looked in the direction she pointed and saw an old man in a white robe with long beard and hair walking out of the thatched hut.
The old man put the herbs that were drying in the yard into a bag, then he carried the bag on his back with a nimble figure and walked towards the village.
The steps didn't look like those of an old man with white hair and beard, but rather like those of a young man.
He is truly an expert.
Sheng Tang ordered the guards to follow him quietly. About a quarter of an hour later, the old man walked out of the village, but all the herbs he had carried in were gone, and he was holding the empty bag in his hand.
"Please stay, old man." Sheng Tang got off the carriage and walked towards the old man.
Arriving in front of the old man, Sheng Tang bowed respectfully and said, "I have always heard that you have superb medical skills. My mother is seriously injured. I hope you will be willing to treat my mother. I will be very grateful."
Sheng Tang knew that talking about money with such an expert would definitely cause dissatisfaction, so he did not mention giving him a generous gift.
But she didn't expect that the old man looked her up and down, then looked at the carriage not far away, and slowly said: "You look like you are from a wealthy family. Let the patient bring a thousand taels of gold, and I will consider it."
Thousand taels? Gold?
Sheng Tang’s eyes widened immediately, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
This hermit master really subverted her understanding of hermit masters from books.
