Chapter 212: Good at Raising Insects
After the carriage swayed on the road for an hour, it finally stopped.
Baiyun Academy is located in Baiyun Town, a suburb of Beijing.
There were not many people here originally, but since the Baiyun Academy was built, the number of people gradually increased. The deserted road in front of the academy became a street, and many houses were added around the street, slowly forming a small town.
The entrance examination of Baiyun Academy is held once every three months. It is said to be an entrance examination, but in fact it is also a monthly examination of the college.
Children who want to enroll take the exam together with college students, and those with excellent scores can enroll. Students in the college who don't work hard may also be eliminated due to poor scores and lose their qualifications to study.
Even so, there are still not many people who are qualified to register for the exam, which takes place every three months.
Shen Changfeng and Gu Mingda were riding in a carriage. Gu Mingda closed his eyes and took a nap after getting in the carriage, which made Shen Changfeng feel relieved.
After getting off the carriage, Shen Changfeng immediately asked Niuniu: "Looking at it, your elder brother doesn't seem so nervous anymore?"
Shen Changfeng still remembered that Gu Yan had a pale face and was restless while eating. He was obviously too nervous. Unexpectedly, he returned to normal just after riding in the carriage.
Niuniu replied: "Because the eldest brother has figured it out."
"What do you want to understand?" Shen Changfeng was confused.
Niuniu answered him in her own way: "Even if the eldest brother fails the exam, he is still our favorite eldest brother and a good son for our parents."
When Shen Changfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel envious. His father didn't seem to like him no matter what he did.
"How can I make my father like me so much?" Shen Changfeng said softly.
Niu Niu still had the look of "hating iron but not steel" and said: "I told you it was your father's fault, why do you always feel that you are not lovable? As long as we children do not do bad things, we should be loved by our families. , if you don’t like us, why should you be born?”
Shen Changfeng looked at Niu Niu with admiration in his heart.
Niu Niu was still an adopted daughter, so she could have such reasonable thoughts. He just thought of mentioning such words to his father, but he felt that he couldn't say it out loud.
Niu Niu said like an adult: "If you don't dare to say it, I will go and say it for you."
The way Shen Changfeng looked at Niu Niu turned into a starry eye looking at the eldest sister's head.
What he didn't dare to say, someone else dared to say it.
"You didn't give birth to me just to bring glory to your family, so I want to eat a candied haws on a stick, so that's what I should do!" Gu Zhao pointed at the old man selling candied haws on the side and said confidently, with his belly pointed out.
In this case, Zhang Yunniang would naturally be ruthlessly suppressed.
"It's too sweet to eat. I can buy you something else to eat." Zhang Yunniang didn't press her too hard after all.
Gu Zhao's requirements were also very low: "That's okay."
Zhang Yunniang not only bought food for Gu Zhao, but also asked Niu Niu and Shen Changfeng to pick out snacks.
Shen Changfeng was embarrassed to take it and said, "Auntie, I'm not a child anymore. I can buy something myself if I want to eat."
Zhang Yuniang said: "You are still a child before you get married. From now on, you have to call me Master's wife. Just like your own children, you don't have to be restrained."
Shen Changfeng felt anxious, knowing that Zhang Yunniang treated him as her own child, so he picked out a piece of Xueyun Crispy that Niu Niu wanted to eat, and then secretly shared it with Gu Zhao and Niu Niu.
The old doctor lived in the town, and the group of people walked along the streets of the town and arrived in just one cup of tea.
The gate to the yard is open, and there are many herbs drying inside. People passing by can smell the strong aroma of herbs.
Because the old doctor never revealed his identity, the neighbors only thought he was a country doctor.
"Old Yantou, Old Yantou, are you at home?" Shen Changfeng shouted towards the room.
Old Doctor Yan walked out of the room slowly with a gloomy face.
"Keep your voice down, I'm deaf!"
Shen Changfeng chuckled, and then scurried in like a monkey, whispering around old doctor Yan for a while.
"You brat, you will always find trouble for me!" Lao Yantou laughed and scolded, but did not care about Shen Changfeng, and then said to the Gu family who were still waiting outside the courtyard gate: "Come in."
The Gu family stepped in.
"Wow, there are so many bugs." Gu Zhao's eyes lit up as he looked at the dried bug corpses in the yard.
Gu Mingda quickly held down this brat's hand, and then picked him up, fearing that his hands would cause harm.
Gu Zhao didn't feel anything was wrong. He lay on his father's shoulder and still looked around at the medicinal materials.
"The child is snoring, let me see what's going on first."
Doctor Yan asked Gu Zhao to stretch out his wrist to check his pulse, and then asked carefully.
This pulse diagnosis took a long time, not only asking Gu Zhao, but also Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang.
The couple couldn't answer many questions, and even Niu Niu helped answer them.
The old doctor frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "It's not bad as I guessed."
Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang suddenly became nervous again and asked: "Doctor, what is wrong with my son? Is it difficult to cure?"
The old doctor shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to cure, but there are a lot of problems."
The couple breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The old doctor continued to explain: "In addition to snoring, this kid is hyperactive, has trouble staying still, is distracted, has troubles and fever, and has night sweats and enuresis..."
When he said this, Gu Zhao jumped up anxiously: "I can't pee in bed several times a month!"
"Hahaha! Why do you still wet the bed at such an old age!" Shen Changfeng couldn't hold back and laughed.
Old Doctor Yan didn't give him face and said, "What's so funny about you? Didn't you wet the bed until you were eight years old?"
Shen Changfeng was like a chicken with its neck pinched: "Old Yan, how can you expose my shortcomings so easily!"
After bullying him, Old Doctor Yan felt satisfied and continued, "Should this liver and kidney yin deficiency be treated together?"
Gu Mingda nodded and said, "Of course."
Old Doctor Yan picked up a pen and paper beside him and began to write a prescription.
"Bamboo shavings, tangerine peel, clematis, silkworm..." He muttered softly while prescribing.
Gu Zhao got excited again when he heard this: "Silkworm, I have memorized it in Shennong's Herbal Classic!"
Children are always like this, they get very excited when they hear a familiar word.
The old doctor uttered a sigh: "Wow, you are still reciting this, recite a few sentences for me to hear."
"Bombyx batryticatus, tastes salty and non-toxic... It is the disease of silkworms and the dead ones are used as medicine." Gu Zhao recited loudly, and he was so enthusiastic that he looked like he was asked by the teacher to answer a question he was good at in class.
Old Doctor Yan couldn't help but nod and said: "You recited it word for word. You are a little kid, why don't you read the Four Books and Five Classics? Why do you recite this? Do you want to be a doctor?"
Gu Zhao touched the back of his head and said: "My father asked me to recite it, and I like to recite it myself."
"Then let me ask you about bamboo ru, how is it recorded in the pharmacopoeia?" The old doctor asked with a smile.
Gu Zhao shook his head: "I only recited the worms."
The old doctor was stunned when he heard this.
Gu Mingda was such a smart man. He had originally thought about training his youngest son to become a doctor. Seeing the opportunity, he immediately said, "Old doctor, you don't know that my son has always loved insects, is familiar with their habits, and is good at raising them."
The old doctor's eyes suddenly lit up.
