Chapter 458

He Ziming warmly stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Mo Jiuye: "Brother has travelled a long way, please come back home with me first and we can talk slowly."

He Ziming was not unfamiliar with Mo Jiuye either, who was a great general who had made outstanding contributions to Da Shun. Not only had he seen him a few times when Mo Jiuye returned triumphantly and paraded through the streets, but also on the day his younger sister got married.

"Brother-in-law, how is Ran Ran's condition now?"

What He Ziming cared most about at the moment was his younger sister's physical condition. He was afraid that something might happen to his sister if he came late.

Hearing his uncle ask about his wife's condition, Mo Jiuye subconsciously looked towards the carriage.

Although he had learned how to perform a Caesarean section, he still hoped to avoid operating on his wife if possible. He just hoped that the gynecological expert his uncle brought this time could come to the Northwest smoothly. This way, his wife would have a chance to give birth without surgery, which would provide an extra layer of safety.

However, he found that the carriage was completely empty.

In order not to shatter the glimmer of hope in his heart, Mo Jiuye looked behind the carriage again, hoping that he had missed it and there were two carriages, with the gynecological expert sitting in the one behind.

But this only led to his disappointment.

"Didn't you bring the gynecological expert with you this time, brother?"

Seeing him ask this, He Ziming laughed lightly with his fist against his lips.

"What if I say that I am the famous gynecological expert everyone talks about, would you believe it, brother-in-law?"

Mo Jiuye was stunned.

When he was in the capital city, although he didn't have much contact with this uncle-in-law, he had heard that He Ziming had read widely since childhood and rarely socialized externally.

Especially when he heard recently that He Ziming had passed the imperial examination with flying colors, it just verified that he was well read.

If He Ziming claimed his own learning, Mo Jiuye would have no doubts. But what did he just say?

He said he was the famous gynecological expert in the capital city?

How is this possible?

Seeing Mo Jiuye froze there, Zhang San stepped forward to help explain:

"I didn't hide this from Sir, our young master is actually the famous gynecological expert.

Without compromising his studies, he worked hard to secretly learn gynecological medicine.

Once when he was out travelling on horseback, he was suddenly blocked by a crowd of people standing around up ahead.

When he got off his horse to check, he learned that a pregnant woman had gone into premature labor while traveling outside. She couldn't continue traveling in the carriage and was sitting on the ground writhing in pain. Her maid kept pleading to passersby to be kind enough to please find a doctor nearby.

Having studied gynecology for many years, He Ziming naturally knew that the pregnant woman should give birth immediately to avoid danger.

But as a man, it was inappropriate for him to assist a woman in childbirth. He could only ask the maid to find something to cover her mistress with.

The maid went to get a cloak from the carriage and covered her mistress with it.

He Ziming checked the woman's pulse through the cover and then pressed on her abdomen, before instructing the maid what to do next.

Under He Ziming's guidance, the woman successfully gave birth to a child on the official road.

This act of He Ziming was witnessed by an elderly man who also happened to pass by.

Right after the woman had given birth smoothly and He Ziming was getting ready to leave on horseback, he was stopped by the old man.

The elder only told He Ziming that he had the natural gift for practicing medicine, especially the way he had directed the maid to assist her mistress to give birth, which demonstrated his extraordinary understanding of gynecology.

The elder took out an old yellow book from his bag and pressed it into He Ziming's hands.

He then told him that he didn't have long to live, and that the book contained the lifelong medical learnings and essence of his practice. He hoped that He Ziming would carry on and promote what he had learned in his lifetime.

After saying this, the elder left without waiting for He Ziming's response.

At first, He Ziming didn't take the elder's book seriously. However, when he opened it for casual reading in his leisure time one night, he was shocked.

It turned out that the elder was the highly acclaimed Gynecology Divine Doctor that everyone in Da Shun talked about. It was said that no one had ever seen his true face.

Also, this divine doctor had a strange temper. Whether someone was rich and powerful wouldn't matter, he only helped those based on his own mood.

The reason why He Ziming knew about this Gynecology Divine Doctor was because of his own mother's illness.

He had known since young that his mother had a gynecological condition that caused her excruciating abdominal pain every month when she had her period.

His father had sent people out on numerous occasions in a desperate attempt to locate this divine doctor to treat his mother, to no avail.
