Changzhou, Jiangsu, also known as Dragon City. In the previous life, Gu Jinzhi was born here.

However, it is now called Yanling Mansion.

Yanling Prefecture is picturesque, with the Longxi River passing by the city. The Longxi River is adjacent to the Grand Canal, and is close to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River, and Taihu Lake. The transportation is convenient, and it is known as "the important auxiliary of Zhongwu and the famous capital of eight towns".

Yanling is a land of fish and rice, rich in wealth and treasures. Now that the world is at peace, there are thousands of rivalries, merchants are like clouds, and wealth and prosperity are inevitable.

In her previous life, Gu Jinzhi's parents were both descendants of prominent families in the capital, but she herself was born and raised in Changzhou.

At that time, her father was engaged in politics and had experience at the grassroots level. He was the deputy mayor of Changzhou City. Her mother also followed him to work in Changzhou. Gu Jinzhi was born in Changzhou. When she was thirteen years old, her father was transferred to the capital as Secretary of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee.

, she followed her parents back to her home in the capital.

Later, Gu Jinzhi occasionally passed by Changzhou for work, but never had the chance to stay there permanently.

When she died, she always dreamed of her small courtyard in Changzhou. The lush gardenia trees, around the Dragon Boat Festival, the snow-colored stamens were covered with emerald green branches, and the yard was full of fragrant fragrance.

She had never smelled that rich fragrance again in her life.

She also didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to return to Changzhou after traveling through time.

However, this Changzhou is already Yanling, an even more quaint ancient town.

Now, she is no longer Gu Jinzhi, the eldest daughter of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but Gu Jinzhi, the seventh daughter of Chengguo Duke's family.

The same as in her previous life, her ancestors were all famous for their medical heritage; her grandfathers were all great helpers, but her father and uncles were unwilling to inherit the family business, and all of them insisted on going into business or politics.

The grandfather had no support, so he passed on his medical skills to his beloved granddaughter, who was exactly the same as her grandfather in the previous life.

When her grandfather Gu Shifei gave her the introductory medical scriptures to read every day, Gu Jinzhi did not find it boring. Instead, she enjoyed it and showed herself to be very diligent and eager to learn. Although she was already familiar with what her grandfather Gu Shifei taught her.

She understood the old man and didn't want her grandfather to be sad.

Grandfather did not originally want to teach Gu Jinzhi. When he started teaching Gu Jinzhi, Gu Jinzhi was already ten years old. In this era, she would get married in three to five years.

My grandfather wanted to teach Gu Jinzhi's younger brother Gu Xuanzhi.

Gu Xuanzhi was only five years old and could not read books. His grandfather was talking to him about the Nei Jing. How could he understand what his grandfather was talking about? His grandfather was often frustrated by this and would get angry alone.

Gu Jinzhi thought of her grandfather in her previous life and couldn't bear it.

In his twilight years, the old man just wanted to have a successor for what he had studied all his life. His sons all felt that his medical skills were mediocre. His other grandchildren were far away in the capital, and only Gu Jinzhi's family accompanied him.

Gu Jinzhi has two younger brothers, a seven-year-old concubine and a five-year-old younger brother.

Grandfather had a clear distinction between love and hate. He disliked Gu Jinzhi's younger brother Gu Xiuzhi very much.

Seeing his grandfather's dejected appearance, Gu Jinzhi began to deliberately recite a few lines from the Nei Jing in front of his grandfather. His grandfather was surprised and tentatively taught Gu Jinzhi something. Soon, he discovered that Gu Jinzhi had an amazing memory.

And his ability to comprehend is super strong.

He sighed: Gu Jinzhi is a genius and should be his successor.

From that time on, Gu Jinzhi studied medicine with his grandfather every day.

In the past two years, she has studied the "Nei Jing", "Difficult Classic", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" again.

Gu Jinzhi's parents were opposed to it at first. They thought that it would be enough for a girl to read a few of the Four Books and Five Classics of Women, and then learn the Women's Commandments and the Classic of Filial Piety. In the future, she would still have time to recite some poems to decorate her appearance. Needle-knitting women's red is the best.

Duty.

However, Gu Jinzhi used to be languid and silent, and his grandfather was also lazy and uninterested in worldly affairs. Since he started studying medicine, Gu Jinzhi has become more energetic, and occasionally shows the liveliness of a little girl; his grandfather is also full of energy.

, speaking in a loud and powerful voice.

Gu Jinzhi's parents never interfered again.

In Yanling, the rules are not as strict as in the capital.

Healthy children and healthy old people are the greatest blessings.

Fast forward two years, and Gu Jinzhi has mastered his grandfather's knowledge to the fullest. If anyone in the family has a headache or fever, she prescribes medicine.

There is no need for her to hide her past life skills anymore.

However, when someone in the family started to show signs of illness, Gu Jinzhi discovered it and prescribed medicine. After taking it, the illness was cured.

Because they were cured during the prevention and treatment, no one knew the seriousness of their condition. They thought it was just a minor illness and Gu Jinzhi was using it as a trick.

As a result, she got the reputation of being half-full.

No one believed she had medical skills.

"Sister Jin, why are you in a daze again?"

The third day of April was the birthday of Gu Jinzhi's aunt Sun, and her mother took Gu Jinzhi and her younger brother Gu Xuanzhi to celebrate her birthday.

The carriage with thick tassels and canopies creaked forward. His mother, Mrs. Gu San, was adjusting her brother Gu Xuanzhi's clothes. When she turned around, she saw Gu Jinzhi sitting in a daze, and she couldn't help but call her softly.

Gu Jinzhi looked back and showed a light smile.

And my mother doesn't like her being in a daze the most. Every time she sees her dazed, my mother's heart skips a beat, fearing that she is stupid and will call her out.

"You will have a sweet mouth later, and you will scream when you see someone..." Mother warned Gu Jinzhi again.

Gu Jinzhi is notoriously reticent.

She nodded and said, "I remember, Mom." She stopped her mother's nagging.

"Don't be in a daze while sitting at the table!" Her mother still couldn't stop and warned her again.

Gu Jinzhi used to be very sleepy. She would sit there and not talk to anyone. She would think quietly by herself. Relatives at home would often say behind her back that she had a bad mind and that there was something wrong with her. Her mother was very angry.

As time passed, Gu Jinzhi became famous as a silly girl, and even at the age of twelve, no one came to ask for her hand in marriage.

My mother was very worried about this.

Gu Jinzhi smiled lightly again and continued: "I understand."

Mrs. Gu San had no way of knowing whether she really knew or pretended to know. Seeing Gu Jinzhi's obedient face, she said nothing more about her.

The car arrived at Qingguo Lane.

Qingguo Lane is one of the most famous places in Yanling Prefecture. It is home to two prominent families in Yanling: the Song family and the Jiang family.

Among them, the Song family is Gu Jinzhi's maternal family.

The Yanling Song family is famous in the south of the Yangtze River and has been a prominent family for three hundred years.

The Song family has produced many celebrities in the past dynasties.

For example, Gu Jinzhi's maternal great-grandfather Song Ming was a famous general who fought against the Japanese. He died on the battlefield and was praised by literati, which has been passed down to this day.

Another example is Gu Jinzhi's second uncle, Song Xi, who was a child prodigy in the south of the Yangtze River. He won the Jinshi at the age of fifteen and was the first person in the dynasty. He stayed in the Hanlin Academy for two years, then quit his job and returned to Yanling, where he spent all day

In terms of poetry, calligraphy and painting, he is already known as the most talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River.

His paintings and calligraphy are priceless.

In the history of later generations, the names of Song Ming and Song Xi appeared, and Gu Jinzhi sighed.

It turns out that this is the name that will be left through the ages.

Gu Jinzhi's maternal grandfather and eldest uncle were not well-known. His maternal grandfather once served as the governor of Wenzhou, and his eldest uncle is now the Yanfa Dao in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, which is an excellent job.

The Song family line has flourished to this day.

The carriage arrived directly in front of the Chuihua Gate of Song Mansion.

Gu Jinzhi and the others got out of the car, and their second aunt Qin came out personally with the maids and servants.

"Brother Xuan has grown taller again!" My second aunt said to my mother with a smile, "Our brother Xuan is two months older than him and is less than half as tall as him."

Brother Chou is the youngest son of his second aunt. His scientific name is Song Yan Chou. He is also seven years old this year.

"How can there be any certainty about how long a child will grow?" The mother said with a smile, "If you grow late, you will grow well in the future. You are too impatient..."

The second aunt laughed: "No, I wish he would grow up all of a sudden..."

Everyone laughed.

Then the second aunt praised Gu Jinzhi for being beautiful.

Gu Jinzhi called his second aunt and followed his mother quietly.

The group went to the aunt's yard.

Today is the birthday of my eldest aunt Sun. Different from the bustle in previous years, this year only the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law from the Song family and a few close relatives were invited, but no other people were invited. It was quite simple.

When my mother saw this, she was slightly surprised and wanted to ask what was going on.

My aunt has always been extravagant.

A small stage was set up in Yuehua Pavilion. After all the guests arrived, they went to Yuehua Pavilion to have a banquet.

My eldest aunt is a little mentally weak.

Her mother asked her: "Sister-in-law, are you tired?"

My aunt had a good relationship with my mother, so she whispered to her: "I'm not feeling well... I contracted wind-chill last month and had a fever. After taking Dr. Zhao's medicine, the fever went away and the cold was gone. But in my heart,

It's like a ball of fire, I'm always unhappy, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well either..."

My mother looked at my eldest aunt's face. Sure enough, she was a little thinner, so she said, "It won't work if we are next to each other. Can we ask Dr. Zhao to take a look?"

Dr. Zhao's name is Zhao Daoyuan. He was a Taoist priest in the past. He can read divination accurately and treat diseases more accurately. He is one of the most famous miracle doctors in Jiangnan.

"He went to the capital." My aunt felt regretful, and then lowered her voice and said, "I heard that a nobleman in the capital was ill, so I specially invited Dr. Zhao."

The mother was slightly surprised.

Zhao Daoyuan was very aloof and relied on fate when treating patients. He had some friendship with Gu Jinzhi's grandfather, so his aunt invited him to come and see him.

Generally, nobles would not be able to invite him, unless they were big shots.

The mother remained silent and refused to answer.

After a pause, my mother said, "How about asking other doctors to take a look?"

"Please..." said the eldest aunt, "The doctor from Yanling asked me to do it. I still didn't feel better after taking the medicine, and my heart became hotter. I always wanted to eat ice. Last time I ate a bowl of iced lotus seed soup and fell asleep.

Have a good night's sleep. But iced things are always cold. It's not a hot summer, so I don't dare to eat too much..."

The mother frowned slightly.

She was helpless because she didn't understand medical science.

"Last time you said you had a headache and it was cured after you took the medicine prescribed by your old man. Can you ask your old man to give me some medicine as well?" The eldest aunt thought of the old man of the Gu family.

I heard that the old man's medical skills were mediocre.

But the eldest aunt thought that since he had been a tutor at the Imperial Hospital, he should be somewhat capable, at least better than those unknown doctors in Yanling.

My aunt has seen all the famous doctors in Yanling.

I took the medicine for a month, but it still didn't work.

She is now in urgent need of medical attention.

The mother laughed: "...My old man has not prescribed prescriptions for five or six years. Last time, the pain was really severe, and the previous medicines were not effective. Life was worse than death. It was Sister Jin who prescribed the prescription. What does she know?

?Afterwards, I thought that it was the old man who thought of my daily filial piety and told Sister Jin the recipe..."

My eldest aunt showed some regret.

While she was talking, there were beads of sweat on her forehead again, and the heat in her heart rose inexplicably.

When it is hot, the heart is burning, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"Go bring me a bowl of iced lotus seed soup." The aunt hesitated for a moment and then ordered the little maid next to her.

When she couldn't stand it any longer, she would eat ice to cool down.

My mother looked on horrified.

She has been married to the Gu family for more than ten years, and has learned a lot about medical theory. If there is heat in the body, it should be relieved with medicine. If you use ice to compress it, you are afraid that the disease will worsen.

But she only knew this and didn't know what to do, so she didn't say much.

When I got home in the evening, my mother told my father Gu Yanzhen about my aunt's illness.

Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother Gu Xuanzhi were eating fresh peaches brought back by their father.

At this season, peaches were not yet on the market, and I don’t know where his father got them from, but his brother ate them happily. Gu Jinzhi didn’t like the taste of peaches very much, so he gnawed one bite at a time while listening to his parents talk.

"Is it serious?" Gu Yanzhen asked with concern.

"I can't tell," Mrs. Song said, "My sister-in-law was originally plump, but she has lost some weight and looks energetic. However, she said she has heartburn. This is not a good thing after all."

Gu Jinzhi took another bite of the peach. It was crunchy and a little sour.
