The Real Rich Daughter is a Future Genius Scientist

136 A Visit to the Lin Family

The Lin family was a well-known family practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine in Haicheng, and they even had a special herb garden in Haicheng.

Old Master Lin, Lin Pu, had stopped treating patients for many years. He usually lived in seclusion and was unwilling to come into contact with many people.

Lin Xi led Zhong Wei, Tong Xin, and Guo Miao through the lush forest. This was Old Master Lin’s herb garden. There were all kinds of precious herbs planted inside, and the fragrance of the herbs could be smelled from far away.

Old Master Lin lived in a small two-story building deep in the medicinal herbs area.

“If I remember correctly, the old master hasn’t invited anyone to his house for almost ten years,” Zhong Wei said.

They used to play together when they were young. When they went to the old master’s house with Lin Xi and the rest, they accidentally entered the old master’s courtyard, where he planted medicinal herbs, and had been chased out with a broom.

After they grew up, they could only see the old man during the new year.

“Yeah, my grandfather also treated Tong Xin before, but he said that her illness probably can’t be cured. He said that it’s something that’s congenital and can’t be changed. He also told me that if there’s someone who can cure her, I must bring him to see him.”

Guo Miao nodded. This famous doctor from Haicheng had a mind of his own.

After passing through the forest, a two-story building stood in front of them. It was a small two-story bungalow. It was rather quaint but looked very comfortable. In front of the bungalow, an old man was lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun.

“Grandpa, I’ve brought the person I told you about,” Lin Xi shouted.

The old man slowly sat up, pushed up his glasses, and looked at the person who had come. He knew who Zhong Wei and Tong Xin were. When he saw his grandson bringing a young girl with him, his brows furrowed and his muddy eyes were filled with anger.

“Why did you bring a little girl here? are you trying to lie to me?” The old man’s body was still considered strong. As he spoke, he reached out for the broom and smacked Lin Xi twice.

“Grandpa, listen to me, listen to me! Don’t get so worked up!” Lin Xi dodged the broom’s attack. “Don’t think that Guo Miao is young and naive. After she treated Tong Xin, Tong Xin’s body is much better.”

After hearing his grandson’s words, the old man temporarily put down the broom and looked at Guo Miao.

Although she still had the appearance of a little girl, the calmness in her eyes didn’t seem to be something that should be present at her age.

“Young lady, are you the doctor who’s treating Xin Xin’s illness now? Did this kid pull my leg?” Lin Pu looked at Guo Miao and asked.

Guo Miao nodded slightly. “Yes, it’s me.”

Lin Pu walked closer and carefully sized up the girl. “I wonder if I have the honor of knowing your teacher’s name.”

Traditional Chinese Medicine was something that was passed down from generation to generation. For a young doctor like Guo Miao to have such superb medical skills, she must have a famous teacher behind her.

“I learned from a village doctor in Dongshan, but he passed away a long time ago and is not very famous.”

Lin Pu nodded. “There are experts among those people. I’ve been in Haicheng for many years, and Dongshan isn’t far from Haicheng, but I’ve never heard of this master.”

“Your teacher is very good at medicine. I’ve seen the prescription you gave Tong Xin, and it’s really wonderful,” Lin Pu praised. He had been practicing medicine for many years, but he had never thought that those herbs could be used in such a way. This treatment would definitely improve Tong Xin’s condition.

“Little girl, come in and sit. I have something to ask you.” Lin Pu brought the few of them into the house.

The room was filled with simple wooden furniture, and the faint aroma of tea wafted in the air.

“Red bean and rice tea, and you even added daylily. Dr. Lin, has your stomach not been well recently?” Guo Miao sniffed the air and asked.

“That’s right,” Lin Pu served them tea. “You’re so young, yet you know the prescription just by smelling the tea. You’re amazing.”

Guo Miao smiled. “What do you want to ask me?”

“I see that the prescription you gave Xin Xin is very similar to the three-fragrance pill, but the amount of lilac, tobacco, and poria mushroom is different. I want to know the reason for the use of the medicine this way.”

Just as Guo Miao was about to explain, Old Master Lin spoke again, “I know that people in our line of work are always reluctant to share certain things, but don’t worry, I’m willing to acknowledge you as my master and ask you for advice in the future.”

Lin Xi was shocked by the old man’s words. Did he hear it wrong? Did his grandfather actually say that he wanted to be Guo Miao’s disciple?
