Entering the courtyard, you can feel the fragrance of medicine floating in the air, mixed with the fresh air of vegetation. Although the smells are mixed, because they are all natural, they are not unpleasant. It makes people feel that this is the residence of a famous doctor, so how can there be no medicinal smell.
There are no blue bricks in the courtyard, only a slightly curved path paved with cobblestones leading to the corridor. The paths are lined with flowers, plants and trees, including some common medicinal materials.
The Lingxiao flowers that I saw outside the courtyard covered the walls on both sides of the courtyard door. The yellow flowers swaggered brightly and golden under the scorching sun, which was really beautiful. Speaking of which, Lingxiao flowers are also used as medicinal materials. It seemed that Ji Qubing had arranged the courtyard to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.
After passing the corridor, I saw the Moon Cave Gate. Behind the door were two osmanthus trees of average height, one on the left and one on the right. No osmanthus trees were in bloom yet, but the cinnamon trees were climbing on them and falling down with fluffy green leaves and stars. The red and white flowers in the middle are really lively.
Wei Changying was attracted and couldn't help but look at it a few more times and said with a low smile: "How did you attract the osmanthus to the sweet-scented osmanthus? Wouldn't this entangle the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to death?"
"Xiao Weiwei, did you hear this? Even the young lady who is serving your grandmother, who has no fingers in the spring water, knows this truth. You still have to lure Nitaluo up. What if you kill Master's favorite couple? Osmanthus tree, let's see how you explain it to Master later." As soon as Wei Changying finished speaking, he heard a casual voice not far away.
The group of people looked around and saw a woman who was about the same age as Wei Changying but had not yet opened her face. She was holding a small wicker medicine basket in one hand and picking through the medicine plaques drying in the courtyard with the other hand - this time they walked in. The courtyard is wider than before. Except for the two osmanthus trees and the two cypress trees when you came in, the rest of the place is paved with blue bricks. The sun is blazing today, so I took the opportunity to fill the courtyard with medicinal plaques to dry.
Not only in the courtyard, but also in the corridors on both sides, half curtains were hung to block the sun from entering. There were also medicinal plaques placed under the half curtains. They should be some medicinal materials that should not be exposed to the sun and need to be dried in the shade.
When I walked in, there was just a faint scent of medicine, but when I got here, it suddenly became stronger, almost choking. Although Ji Lai Qubing has been unwilling to treat people easily in the past few years, as a doctor, he has never given up on collecting and organizing medicinal materials.
Because Mrs. Huang said that her second son and second daughter-in-law were here to serve Ji Qubing, and she did not mention anyone else. Thinking that this house was so quiet, and Ji Qubing was alone, and didn't like strangers serving as servants, Ni Tao should be the only one. The couple waited on them, and a little girl, Ni Weiyi, acted as a maid and answered the door.
So now this woman was handling the medicinal materials, and she behaved and spoke casually. Although she answered a sentence, her eyes were still staring at the bark-like medicinal material in her hand, looking left and right, she took out the small silver knife from her waist and scraped some to taste. Smell, I didn't care about Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying at all... I guess there was no one else except Duanmu Xinmiao, the eighth daughter of the Duanmu family who was Ji Qubing's disciple.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Huang heard this, she glared hard at Ni Weiyi who was hiding behind others, turned around and smiled at the woman again: "The eighth lady is here too? Is the miracle doctor in there?"
"Here, please take them in. Master has already drank two pots of tea. Just now I went in to show him a recipe, and he said why they haven't come yet." Duanmu Xinmiao put down the bark of the tree... uh, the tree Skin medicinal materials, finally took a look at everyone - the only descendant of a famous doctor in the country has a beautiful appearance, with almond eyes and peach cheeks. Although he is wearing a pure white narrow-sleeved jacket with no pattern and made of coarse cloth, all the poor girls in the village have one. She was wearing a green skirt, and her hair was wrapped with a piece of coarse cloth like Cao Yingmei saw when Wei Changying went to Chuncao Lake last time. It was easy to move around. This attire of a poor girl in the market looked a bit jingchai on her body. The sarong cannot hide the meaning of natural beauty.
It's just that Ji Qubing was rumored to have a rather aggressive temperament, and his disciples were more or less influenced by their master, and they were not at all considerate of ordinary women. These words made everyone feel embarrassed.
Mrs. Huang coughed and whispered to the guard chief Ying: "Young madam, let's accompany the young master in."
The group of people walked around Duanmu Xinmiao and went to the corridor. Mrs. Huang looked at Ni Weiyi, who obediently went in first and came out after a while, saying: "Grandpa, the miracle doctor, please invite the young master and the young lady."
... Before she could finish her words, she heard a man's voice inside snorted and said, "I said 'it's here'!"
"..." Everyone.
No matter what, Ji Qubing's reputation as a bad-tempered Emperor is probably unknown to everyone. He doesn't even look down on the elders of his clan, and he dares to yell at the powerful that "you can't be cured even if you die" ... Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying decided to pretend not to hear this sentence at the same time.
After entering the door, under the embroidered screen with koi carps and lotuses at 20% off, a pair of human-high pastel gilt longevity peach vases sandwiched a toothed beard bed. Now there was a man in green clothes with a bamboo crown sitting cross-legged on the bed. On the bed, he was supporting the sofa with one hand, making a fist against his head, and beating the edge of the sofa with the other hand, looking very impatient.
This man in Tsing Yi is probably Ji Qubing - considering his age, he is forty-three-four, and he can still be said to be in the prime of life. However, I don't know whether it is due to excessive injuries in his early years or too much stimulation after the family's decline. Half of his hair turned gray.
Judging from the profile, this famous doctor must have been well-proportioned when he was young. He still has a fair complexion and a beautiful long beard under his chin. What is noticeable is that his eyes are like a torch under the thick eyebrows on the temples, which are piercing and sharp.
Shen Zangfeng's gaze was also extremely sharp, but Ji Qubing's sharpness was different from the sharpness of a young boy from a famous family like Shen Zangfeng. Shen Zangfeng was born from a noble family and had an aura bred by the high hopes of his family. He dared to face all difficulties and obstacles head-on, and was sharp but also majestic. Ji Qubing's sharpness is a blade forged after years of vicissitudes. It seems that he always carries a certain amount of contempt and ridicule for the world, and always a certain amount of extreme cynicism.
But no matter what the reason is, people who have such sharp eyes that ordinary people dare not look into have one common characteristic, that is, they are fearless and fearless, and they cannot be impressed by poverty, wealth, or power - At least it's not the ordinary poverty, wealth, or power that can convince you.
Therefore, even though Ji Qubing had already been informed by Huang about the identity of the person who came to seek medical treatment today, he had received favors from the Wei family back then, but now he has no intention of being particularly polite just because Wei Changying, the direct daughter of the Wei family, came here. Seeing them coming in, he glanced at them lightly and still sat there, with a very scornful attitude. However, he had long hair that was half gray and half black. Half of it was tied up at the top of his head with a bamboo crown, and half of it was hanging around his shoulders. He wore a green shirt. Sitting alone on the bed, in this hot summer day, somehow it reminds me of a sentence:
A noble man lies in the snow-covered mountains.
He has been as pampered as Wei Changying since he was a child. He was intimidated by his magnanimity and did not dare to neglect him. He was blessed and said respectfully: "Mr. Ji, I am a clumsy man..."
"This kid wants to see a doctor? Come here!" Ji Qubing was indeed an unreasonable person. He didn't even let her finish her words. He pointed at Shen Zangfeng and called out. His attitude was wanton and rude, and he was obviously relying on his medical skills. Don't be afraid that others won't buy it.
"... Just go over there." Wei Changying choked. After all, her husband wanted others to see it before he could rest assured. He didn't dare to contradict him, so he had no choice but to push the reluctant Shen Zangfeng.
Shen Zangfeng followed Ji Qubing's instructions and sat down a few steps away from him on Hu's bed. Ji Qubing squinted his eyes and looked at him, and said slowly and firmly: "I see that you have plenty of energy and blood, strong steps, and are in the prime of life. You look like a non-committal person! Do you dislike your wife for raising more than one daughter-in-law outside and are too lazy to go home and deal with it, so you lied about it?"
"...!!!" Facing the indescribably horrified looks of Shen Zangfeng, Wei Changying, and many other servants and women accompanying them, Huang was about to burst into tears and almost rushed forward to grab Ji Qubing's arm and beg: " Doctor Ji, what I'm talking about is that my uncle couldn't lift his arm when he was injured. You can't just listen to it by cutting out the words."
The conscience of heaven and earth, her uncle is doing well! Besides, even if my uncle really has something to hide, it’s impossible for him to stay away from the doctor during the treatment! Miracle doctor, how can you talk like that! Isn’t this an intentional attempt to kill someone
After hearing Huang's explanation, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying almost spit out a mouthful of blood!
Wei Changying's long insistence that "it's okay only when the miracle doctor says it's okay" has been shaken... Why does this guy think that Gu Naizheng is not as bad as him? !
"Why are you panicking!" Ji Qubing stroked his long beard with his hand and said calmly, "I also thought that this kid was in good health. I didn't expect him to have any serious illness. The doctors in the market just took a look at it. But you ended up getting into a big fight. You want me to diagnose you, I’m very nervous even thinking about it, I’m just telling you a joke to let you relax, so that this kid won’t be fine and others will worry about him getting sick.”
Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying once again felt like vomiting blood: If you want to tell a joke, just tell a joke! What are you talking about!
When the couple looked at each other and didn't know what to say, Ji Qubing said in a lukewarm tone: "Okay, the joke is over and you won't support me either... Then let's go see a doctor. Mr. Shen, reach out your hand and let me take a look." Pulse image."
... You... You... Wei Changying simply didn't know how to scold him: You said to my face that my husband didn't do it, and you expect us to cheer you up and laugh? ! ! Who are these people! If there hadn't been rumors that Ji Qubing only had Duanmu Xinmiao as his disciple, Wei Changying would have definitely suspected that his real successor was actually Gu Naizheng!
Shen Zangfeng stretched out his wrist with a wry smile, and Ji Qubing put it with his exploratory fingers. He picked up a few long beards and closed his eyes to examine... Everyone held their breath and waited for a moment, and then waited for a while, only to see Ji Qubing's face getting more and more ugly. , my heart is lifted...
Wei Changying couldn't care less about the past and asked in fear: "Doctor Ji, my husband's injury?" She just wanted to be careful, but she didn't really get caught by the prophecy!
Ji Qubing opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "When did you get this injury?"
Although Shen Zangfeng thought he was healthy and fine, after all, Ji Qubing had a well-known reputation, and everyone in the room seemed ready to hear bad news. He also became worried and said cautiously: "On New Year's Eve last year, A banquet will be given in the palace."
"At that time, the tiger's mouth was cracked and it was difficult to lift his arms. How long did it take for him to recover?" Ji Qubing asked.
Shen Zangfeng answered more cautiously: "It will be almost healed in about three to five days, and the tiger's mouth will also be scabbed."
Ji Qubing's face turned even darker: "What then?"
"Then my mother couldn't rest assured and asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis. The imperial doctor suggested that she should rest for a while for safety, so my mother allowed her to rest until now." Shen Zangfeng knew that Ji Qubing was at odds with the Ji family, so he gave the imperial doctor Ji's surname. He disappeared. After saying that, he couldn't hold himself back anymore and asked tentatively, "Doctor Ji, Zang Feng has been feeling fine in the past few months. Isn't there any hidden injuries that have not healed?"
He really didn't feel any discomfort? Why did the miracle doctor's face become even more ugly after hearing these words, as if he wanted to breathe fire
Ji Qubing then saw that he was really having an attack - he took two fingers out of his wrist and slapped the bed hard with his palm. The sound was so loud that Ni Weiyi, the youngest among the people present, shrank back in fright. Ji Qubing was furious. He asked hurriedly and angrily: "Since you know that you are not even a little sick, why did you come here? Are you just here to entertain me?"
He cursed again, "The tiger's mouth was shattered by the shock, and the meridians on the arms were numbed for a while. Isn't it common sense that you can't lift it? I see that you are also a martial arts practitioner. Do you usually practice dot-flower boxing and leg embroidery?! Not even a single injury was caused." Have you ever suffered such a minor injury? It only takes ten and a half months for a pampered young lady in a boudoir to pay it off. You, a man like me, are still recuperating after more than half a year. Do you think you are made of tofu? Wouldn’t it be safer to just lie in a pile of brocades and pin them down for the rest of your life?”
Ji Qubing hummed and said, "That's really unreasonable!" He flicked his sleeves, walked inward, and left. (To be continued)
