Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Li Yuyan became the top scorer in the imperial examination, both unexpectedly and reasonably, and was appointed as an editor at the Imperial Academy.

The news quickly reached Wei Bingyan's ears. At the same time, there was also the emperor's comment on Li Yuyan that day beside Ye Sikong, a great talent for managing the world... How high was this comment? I believe that when this word reached many people's ears, it would have many different meanings.

However, Wei Bingyan's energy has not been on the top scholar in the past few days. Ever since she talked to the old man a few days ago, the old man Wei called Wei Zhong to find him the next day. No one knew what the father and son talked about. Wei Bingyan only knew that Wei Zhong went to the Li family that day.

I guess my marriage with Li Yunze has ended here and will never be mentioned again.

Wei Bingyan's mood improved rarely. She put aside the words that the Empress Dowager had inadvertently mentioned about her and continued to practice medicine with Aunt Yin.

This time they did not go to Ronghua Village, but left the city wall of the capital and wandered around the nearby mountain villas.

"Birds are singing and insects are buzzing. Most of the lively and hot summer has passed, but the red sun is still so fierce. Miss, why don't we wait until the weather gets a little warmer before going out?" Aunt Yin raised her hand to wipe away the dense sweat on her forehead, and persuaded Wei Bingyan, who seemed to be unable to bear the heat unconsciously.

"You are from the south, so you are not used to the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects, and the hot summer in the capital." Wei Bingyan said with a smile and stretched out her hand to scratch her face.

Aunt Yin hurriedly stopped her, "Miss, don't scratch it."

The fingers inadvertently touched a layer of touch that was different from the skin. Wei Bingyan just realized that her expression had changed, and she grinned, "Let's go, follow this road, it feels like there is a village far away from the hustle and bustle."

Aunt Yin shook her head and followed Wei Bingyan into the village far away from the hustle and bustle.

Although this village is not big, it seems to be very rich, and there are many quiet and peaceful villas. They must be large villas built here by some prominent families.

"Miss, you see these quiet and peaceful villas at the foot of the mountain are not small. We should not stay here for too long." Aunt Yin said softly.

"Uh." Wei Bingyan saw the huge stone tablet on the side of the road and realized what village this was. It seemed that the Wei family also had a villa in this place, but she had never been there.

The two were seriously discussing whether to leave when suddenly a talented and well-dressed young man ran out of the alley. When he saw Aunt Yin holding the solemn spirit banner and bell, he immediately shouted, "Doctor, doctor, please take a look at my son..."

Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin stared at each other, and without saying a word, they followed the man home.

The talented scholar's home was in a spacious courtyard in an alley. Before he even entered the room, he could already hear the shrill, tearful sobs of a child.

There were two women in the room, one of them was very young, holding a one-year-old child and coaxing him, and nearby was an older woman, who I thought must be the mother of the talented man.

"Mother, Madam, I have called the doctor." The talented man shouted loudly and politely welcomed Wei Bingyan into the house respectfully.

The two women burst into joy after hearing this, but when they saw Wei Bingyan, their faces darkened and they frowned and scolded, "How can you be a female doctor? Didn't I tell you to go to the city and hire a doctor?"

"Mother, the child is crying like that, let the doctor take a look at the child first." The daughter-in-law advised the white-haired old woman in a gentle voice.

Wei Bingyan felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't expect to be rejected before she even started the consultation.

"Yes, mother, I don't know how much time it will take for this trip. Let this...this doctor take a look first." The talented man looked at Aunt Yin and felt that Aunt Yin was the right doctor.

The woman looked at her lovely grandson who was still sobbing with a heartache, and could only nod her head, "I don't know if he is a real doctor."

Wei Bingyan sighed in her heart, turned around and said to the daughter-in-law, "Put the child on the bed first."

"What? You are the doctor? Is there such a young doctor? You must not be here to cheat people out of money." The woman shouted in a high-pitched voice, not allowing Wei Bingyan to get closer to check on her lovely grandson.

The talented scholar was also stunned. He never thought that such a woman could be a doctor.

"Auntie, I have been treating the disease for a long time. Please let me take a look at the child first. If I don't know how to treat it, I definitely don't have the courage to play with the life of your lovely grandson." Wei Bingyan said warmly.

"Mother, just let him have a look." When the daughter-in-law heard her son's sad sobbing, it was like a knife cutting her abdomen. She no longer cared about anything else and just wanted to cure the child's illness immediately.

Aunt Yin opened her mouth with a gloomy face, "If we female doctors don't understand medical skills, how can we dare to come out to practice medicine and treat illnesses? Using medicine casually is a detrimental thing, and we can't do it."

After hearing what Aunt Yin said, the woman stepped aside doubtfully.

Wei Bingyan approached and felt the pulse of the child who was still sobbing. She then felt the child's forehead and the invisible back. In this hot summer, he was crying so hard, but he was not sweating much...

"How long has the child been feeling so warm?" Wei Bingyan asked softly.

"I started to have a fever after having a hot lunch the day before. I don't have the intermittent dry cough and runny nose anymore, and I'm in good spirits," the daughter-in-law replied hurriedly.

"Have you given him water?" Wei Bingyan asked again.

The women rushed to reply, "I drank a lot of water and urinated a lot, but it didn't get any better. The weather was cooler last night, so the child wasn't so hot, but today he's hot again."

Wei Bingyan asked, "But did you vomit?"

"No, no." The daughter-in-law shook her head.

"That's not bad!" Wei Bingyan smiled gently, "This is a fever. Children are most likely to get this kind of trivial illness. As long as there is no vomiting, it is not serious. The child's fever is not enteritis. Don't put too many clothes on him. Open the windows directly to ventilate. There shouldn't be so much hot air in the room."

"Hey!" The daughter-in-law nodded her head like pounding garlic.

Wei Bingyan asked Aunt Yin to take out the ink-scented calligraphy from the first aid kit and said, "I'll write a prescription for you to cure the disease. You can take a few doses of the medicine and boil it in water to drink as tea."

"This... medicine is a little poisonous. Can it be drunk as tea?" the woman asked curiously.

"This is a Chinese herbal medicine that clears away heat, replenishes Qi, nourishes yin, reduces temperature and reduces fever. It will not harm your health." Wei Bingyan replied with a smile.

The talented scholar took Wei Bingyan's prescription for treatment. Seeing that the words on it were written in a beautiful and elegant manner, he couldn't help but look at Wei Bingyan in surprise.

"Thank you, doctor." The talented man thanked Wei Bingyan and paid the consultation fee.

The woman said to the scholar, "Hurry up and get all the herbs, and then... and ask the shopkeeper if the prescription is right."

The talented scholar nodded and went to grab all the herbs as fast as a shooting star.

Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin left their home and walked down the alley.

She examined almost all the families, among whom there were two whose children also suffered from fever, and an old man who had severe rheumatism in the knees. Wei Bingyan treated him with acupuncture, which took quite a while. When she returned, it turned out that the doctor had already brought back all the medicinal materials. After the child drank a bowl of medicinal tea, he stopped crying.

When the woman saw Wei Bingyan outside, she thanked her profusely, her attitude completely different from before.

Wei Bingyan suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction deep in her heart.

When leaving the bustling village, Wei Bingyan sighed, "I suddenly understand why Master liked to go out and be a female doctor so much at that time."

Aunt Yin looked at Wei Bingyan with a smile. At that time, she stayed with this young lady only because of Mrs. Li's order. She had never served a natural aristocrat like the Wei family, and felt that it would be difficult to get along with them. However, the more she got along with Wei Bingyan, the more she felt that the young lady was extraordinary. There must be a reason why Mrs. Li valued her so much.

"Miss, you are clever, well-behaved, and hardworking. No wonder Mrs. Li said that you are better than her teacher." Aunt Yin said with a smile. She felt that it would actually be a very good thing if she could stay with Wei Bingyan for the rest of her life.

"I don't want to be a medical genius." Wei Bingyan said that she learned medical skills for her mother, but now her old illness has not recurred. The only regret... is that her mother has not been able to get pregnant again.

Not having given birth to a legitimate child for the Wei family has been a long-standing and incurable heartache for her mother. Wei Bingyan doesn't know how to help her. Maybe she will ask her master after he arrives in the capital.

Aunt Yin pointed to the yellow mud path ahead and said, "After exiting this path, we will reach the broad official road. Xihai is waiting for us at the Qingxin Teahouse near the broad official road. Miss, let's go and have some tea and dessert, and then go back."

"Very good!" Wei Bingyan nodded.

When they stepped out of the secluded path, they saw a pine-tree carriage parked under a towering tree at the crossroads. There was no one on the carriage, but an anxious voice came from inside the carriage, "Old Master, you are almost in the city. I will take you to see a doctor right away."

Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin exchanged glances. This carriage didn't look luxurious, but since they could afford a pine-tree carriage, they must have the status and position. Since she started practicing medicine, Wei Bingyan didn't get along with those wealthy families, so she wanted to walk away quickly with big strides.

The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted at this time. A man dressed as a servant saw the solemn spirit banner in Aunt Yin's hand, which she had not yet put away, and a burst of joy appeared on his face. "Doctor, my old man suddenly vomited and felt weak all over. Please, doctor, take a look at my old man."

To see the character of the master, we should first look at the servants serving him. I think the master of this carriage is a man of good moral character and good family education.

It was difficult for her to refuse someone who wanted treatment.

Wei Bingyan supported Aunt Yin's hand and got into the carriage. There was a disgusting, nauseating, sour and unpleasant smell in the carriage. It must be the filthy stuff vomited out by the old man on the couch. The old man looked to be in his fifties and was wearing an ordinary gown, which was surprisingly of very good quality.

However, the old man looked haggard at this moment, his lips were pale, and his expression was weak and sore. Probably because he heard the situation, he slightly opened his eyes and looked at Wei Bingyan.

"Lift up the curtains and window drapes gently." Wei Bingyan said to Aunt Yin, and ordered the servant to clean out the filthy things in the carriage.

"Old man, do you feel unwell anywhere?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"My stomach hurts!" The old man said in a hoarse voice, as if he was opening his mouth with difficulty.

Wei Bingyan took out her hand pillow and felt his pulse.

The pulse was weak and thin, the tongue coating on the teeth was thin and white... Wei Bingyan asked about other aspects of his health.

"I often feel my abdomen is noticeably bloated and the pain in my stomach is constant... I feel weak and it's hard when I press it..." the old man said weakly.

Wei Bingyan nodded and said to the servant, "Go to the village and get some ginger right away. Your old man may need acupuncture." Then she said to the old man, "You have a weak spleen and bloating. I can only relieve your pain for a short time."

The old man nodded and could no longer say anything.

The servant quickly found a piece of fresh ginger. Wei Bingyan cut the fresh ginger into slices, poked a small hole in the middle of the slice, and placed the slice on the magical acupuncture point. She then placed a fresh bean-sized moxa stick on the slice, scorching it until the slice shrank and wrinkled, and then replaced it with another slice, until the skin turned deep red...
