The 19th Prescription of Shang Han Lun

  Rush to the top of the chart, thank you very much!

  ……

  The old man knew that his son-in-law was a weak and timid person, which is quite normal, as scholars are often like this.

  How could someone like him go up the mountain so early? Ao Wu's excuse didn't fool him, there are wild beasts and bandits on the mountain, what would someone like him be doing going up there.

  And after seeing the wound on his neck, with many years of medical experience, he couldn't help but see that it was a mark from hanging. So the general idea of what had happened came out in his mind.

  It must be that the daughter was too powerful at home, so angry that her son-in-law ran to the mountain to hang himself. He was robbed by a mountain bandit halfway through hanging himself. It's fortunate that the mountain bandit saved his life; otherwise, the son-in-law would have lost his life, and later, Cheng Mu would not have been rescued either.

  Zhong Shenyi had no son under his knees, and since Ao Wu entered the house, he treated him as a son. Now that he saw him being driven to hang himself by his daughter, he couldn't help but feel some anger towards his daughter. So as soon as he spoke up, he questioned his daughter.

  "I don't know." Zhong Qing replied calmly.

  The guy next to Ao Wu felt a little lucky in his heart, fortunately it wasn't him being asked, otherwise he wouldn't know what was going on, his brain didn't have the memory of a scholar.

  Zhong Shenyi was somewhat dissatisfied with his daughter's answer and asked: "How could you not know?"

  "He wants to go up the mountain, of course only he knows what he wants to do." She, who only had her father as a family member, couldn't help but feel a little wronged in her heart when she heard her father say this.

  Uh, now that she mentions it, is Master Clock going to interrogate me? How should I respond?

  But unexpectedly, Zhong Shen Yi didn't stop, instead he continued asking Zhong Qing: "Tell your father, what happened between you two over the past couple of days?"

  A moment of silence, Zhong Qing closed her mouth and didn't respond, and even slightly lowered her head.

  But keeping silent is equivalent to consent.

  After a while, Zhong Shen Yi said angrily: "Speak quickly!"

  Zhong Qing was startled, and stuttered: "He, he made me angry, I scolded him a few times, and then he was dead set on it, and by dawn, the person was gone."

  Saying that, it's actually quite similar to the temperament of a scholar. However, hey, hey, goddess, didn't you overlook the specific content of the matter?

  "What's going on?" Zhong Shen Yi furrowed his brow and asked in puzzlement.

  She lowered her head again and said resentfully: "He knows himself."

  It's hard to control a grown woman, Zhong Shenyi looked at Ao Wu with a softened expression and asked: "Ao Wu, what's the matter? Tell me, I'll take charge for you!"

  "Me, that......" How should I put it?

  Zhong Qing suddenly lifted her head and stared at him: "You..." wanting to stop him from saying it.

  But a big man, can't be stopped by a woman and not speak? No. "Father-in-law, I was wrong." Ao Wu said after, also lowered his head.

  Zhong Qing's face suddenly turned red, and she was stunned when she heard his words. Zhong Shen Yi was also shocked - wasn't it you who had been wronged, how could saying it out loud make it seem like he was the one in the wrong?

  "What is it, tell me." Zhong Shen Yi urged.

  Kao Wu secretly looked at her, huh, why did she blush? That's not a guilty blush, but a shy one. Is there something in this matter that makes her feel ashamed, so she's too embarrassed to speak up? That's quite intriguing.

  Although curious, his head slowly lifted up, and his eyes fell on Zhong Shen's nose, not looking directly into his eyes, for a liar wouldn't dare to avoid eye contact. His gaze was filled with regret, embarrassment, guilt, and the shame he had just learned from Zhong Qing, as he looked deeply at his father-in-law!

  "Father, it's all my fault..."

  This voice struck the deepest part of Zhong Shen's heart. Men understand men better, and they won't make things difficult for each other. Dr. Zhong stopped asking further questions, but he knew that at home, his daughter was too overbearing, often putting her husband in a difficult position. Not to mention that he was biased towards his weak son-in-law, this situation wasn't good for the couple's relationship either. As a father, he should teach his daughter more and think about their future.

  He lightly evaded Ao Wu's apology and began to teach his daughter in a gentle and kind manner, telling her that she needed to understand the way of being a wife and how to maintain a good husband-wife relationship. Before long, Zhong Qing couldn't listen anymore, but she also couldn't disobey her father's words, so she could only sit there obediently and listen to his lecture.

  To say the least, Ao Wu is great. One sentence of automatic self-criticism is really brilliant, one sentence can top ten thousand sentences, no need to expose one's own shortcomings in memory, successfully passing the test!

  "Think carefully. The saint said, I reflect on myself three times a day, this is the only way to be self-aware, why are you looking so gloomy?" Doctor Zhong let Zhong Qing go down first.

  Zhong Qing honestly sat here listening to the lecture, but in the end she didn't even have the chance to make a bitter face, and gloomily returned to her room first. She knew that Weng Ye and the two of them had something to say. Of course, it must be Grandfather comforting him, humph.

  "Ah Wu, Qingniang lost her mother at a young age, I raised her up, the ways of women's households are all learned by herself, so sometimes she will be self-willed and not consider your feelings. If you feel wronged, come tell me, Lao Er, and I'll take charge!" Zhong Shenyi said kindly to him.

  Kao Wu nodded and said the same thing: "Father-in-law, it's actually my fault, don't blame your daughter."

  "What a good kid!" He himself was wronged, but he took the blame on himself, what a good kid! "Since you don't want to say it either, I won't ask. However..."

  He glanced at Ao Wu twice, his eyes revealing a resolute determination. "From now on, I will pass on the medical skills of the Zhong family to you. You can go to my study and read any medical book you want, and if you have any questions, you can come ask me."

  He suddenly burst out laughing, "I didn't expect this, I thought you were only interested in joining the Zhong family for fame and fortune. Now I know your master is an old Daoist priest, who doesn't allow you to reveal your medical skills, so even if you want to save people, you can't. So by entering the Zhong family, even if you do manage to save someone, it's as if you learned the medical skills from the Zhong family? Haha, why didn't you say this earlier? If you had spoken up, you could have saved people sooner and I could have passed on my medical skills to you. However..."

  "I was worried that you would take the imperial examination in Dongdu, so I didn't teach you medicine. Now if you learn it, won't it delay your imperial examination?" he asked anxiously.

  Come on, old man, you're overthinking. Nothing can stop your imagination now!

  I didn't expect an old Taoist's excuse to lead to so much brain-supplemented imagination. I have to say, dealing with clever people is simple, convenient and refreshing - Laozi really likes it!

  Kao Wu has a high level of knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine, but the old man's intention cannot be refused. Between people, any encounter is an opportunity to increase affection. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine has experienced several interruptions and discontinuations in Chinese history, resulting in the loss of many essential traditional Chinese medical knowledge. Such an opportunity to understand ancient traditional Chinese medicine should not be missed.

  In addition, in order to make the lie about the old Taoist priest more convincing and to wash away the bad impression of currying favor with the powerful left by the former Juren, he had to agree to Zhong Shenyi's request.

  "Thank you, father-in-law, for your support. My master will definitely be delighted to know this!" He sincerely expressed his gratitude, "As for the imperial examination, I am confident that I can do well in it just like I did in my medical studies."

  "Ah, good!" Zhong Shenyi looked at Ao Wu, his eyes shining brighter and brighter. "Ao Wu is indeed cleverer than ordinary people! Hmm... I wonder how much medical skills your master, the old Daoist, has taught you. Let me test you and see what you don't understand, then I'll teach you some more medical skills. Of course, I also want to see if the old Daoist still has any wonderful prescriptions up his sleeve. Ao Wu won't mind, will he?"

  The old man was indeed honest, saying that he was testing him, but also wanting to know how many magical medical skills Ao Wu had.

  "My father-in-law is a family member, and there are no secrets among family members. However, the things my master taught me are vast and numerous, and it's hard to finish telling them in a short time. I'll tell my father-in-law everything slowly later, but for now, I'll just tell him a part of it tonight." He recited ten medicinal prescriptions from "Tang Tou Ge" with a clear voice.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Shenyi's eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked with trembling lips: "Is this really what your master taught you?"

  Qiao Wu shamelessly nodded: "Uh-huh." Mr. Wang Ang of the Qing Dynasty, you can temporarily be my master for now.

  "Great man, great man!" Zhong Shen Yi was excited beyond control. "The Ten Medicine Formula is superior to half a lifetime of my own research! Indeed, there are people outside of this world...this..."

  He stood up like a madman, fetched paper and pen, and quickly wrote down ten prescriptions.

  After finishing writing, he gently blew on the ink marks on the paper and treasured it up.

  At this time, he found Ao Wu staring at him blankly, and only then did he realize that he had lost his composure. He laughed and said: "The things your master taught you, picked up casually, made me crazy for it, it seems I have nothing to teach you, Ao Wu, don't make fun of me!"

  "No, Master has no idea. The teacher just made me memorize the song, I only memorized it but didn't know what those things meant. So I want to start learning from scratch with Master, from the most basic level, so that I can understand the medical skills taught by the teacher more deeply and develop them together with our family's medical skills, and cure more people!"

  These words made Zhong Shenyi appreciate Ao Wu even more, tightly grasping Ao Wu's arm and saying several good things.

  This way, he also cancelled the decision to test Awu tomorrow. As for the old Taoist's magical medical formula, he would first understand the ten formulas and then come to find Awu to listen to new formulas. And since Awu wanted to learn medicine from scratch, starting tomorrow, he would go to his study room to fetch one or two basic medical books and start learning from herbal names and formulas.

  The two men were delighted after discussing their plan. Zhong Shenyi had someone bring over some herbal medicine and personally applied it to Ao Wu's neck.

  His neck was wrapped in a layer of herbal paste and then bandaged with cloth, making his entire neck swell up to an alarming size. Under Ah Lai's guidance, he returned to his own room.

  After Ah Lai went down, a graceful figure appeared at the door. The next moment, a cold light flashed and a sword appeared in front of him!
