It's not a good thing to look too dazzling. Qin Mingyue is not a good thing except for singing and accompany guests. The dignitaries and dignitaries are forced to accept them as pets.
Going to sing a play for the county magistrate, looking at the scenery, who knows what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards are inside.
Xiao Fengwu took him into his arms and sighed, "How clever."
Qin Mingyue lowered her eyes and slowly rubbed her broken pinky finger: "If you are stupid once and suffer a little, you will naturally be smart..."
Qujiang Road is the most prosperous part of Yan City, and there are many beggars on weekdays, but today the official yamen sent them all to the ruined temple outside the city, crying and begging all the way.
"Uncle, uncle, please do well, my mother has a leg problem, she must not be pushed!"
The broken bowl Gulu used for begging fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. The thin black-faced woman cried and helped the old white-haired woman who fell to the side. The mother and daughter were wearing dirty and old patched clothes.
The yamen who took the lead was Jiang Ping'an, he glanced at the old woman's right leg, only saw an empty trousers, and said a little embarrassed: "Little girl, this is the order of the county magistrate, you take your mother to the city. Stay away for a few days, and when the high-ranking officials above leave, you will naturally be able to come back.”
Qian Langzhong and Xiao Fengwu were drying the medicinal herbs outside the door at that time, and when he saw this, he threw Jizi fiercely, and snorted coldly, "I don't do human affairs all day, what are the beggars getting in their way!?"
The interior of the Huichun Hall was damp, many medicinal herbs were moldy, and the beams in the house were withered. He was hiring a carpenter to reinforce it. Xiao Fengwu moved the consultation table outside and basked in the sun while drying the medicinal herbs. Yangyang said: "There are a lot of beggars, it means that the political performance is poor. Everyone in Yancheng has no worries about food and clothing, so it can be seen that our county magistrate is a good official."
"Pooh!"
Qian Lang's beard was trembling with anger, he walked down in three steps and two steps, and slammed Jiang Ping'an's official hat with his pipe, and said angrily: "You bastard! Move people to my medicine hall, legs Even if it's all gone, and people crawl out of the city, that's what your mother taught you?!"
Jiang Ping'an was about to get angry, when he saw Qian Langzhong, he immediately died. He was a filial son, and he still remembered Xiao Fengwu's kindness for saving his mother. Besides, his character was not bad, except for gambling. There are no other shortcomings. Hat, he waved his hand to his brothers to carry the broken-leg beggar in, and said with a scornful smile, "We can't do anything, we have all obeyed the orders of the county magistrate. When the high-ranking officials who came to inspect are gone, it will be fine."
Qian Langzhong couldn't see such a thing, he blew his beard and stared angrily, and asked Degui to take good care of the beggar's mother and daughter.
Degui was busy helping the beggar woman to sit on the chair, rolled up his trousers and looked at it, there were sores on his legs, rotten enough to attract flies, covered his nose, looked out the door, and said to Xiao Fengwu, "Sixteen, she The injury is serious, come and see, I haven't seen this kind of disease before."
Thinking about it with his head, he knew that Xiao Fengwu would never look at it. He looked back at the old woman's legs, then frowned and turned his head. He peeled two peanuts and threw them into his mouth. He lay on the rocking chair and swayed. : "Deguier, poor baby, with such a master on the stall, he doesn't teach you anything. Today, I will teach you two tricks."
"See, her disease is an old sore, most of which is caused by necrosis of the broken part, resulting in the failure of the collaterals and collaterals of the lower extremities, local qi and blood stagnation, and then due to damp-heat betting, qi and blood stagnation, rotten skin and flesh, and withered skin. Apply alum and iron stick yam to the affected area, once in the morning and once in the evening, and it will heal in ten days."
Degui asked in surprise, "Is it that simple?"
Xiao Fengwu sneered: "Just a sore, how complicated do you want it to be."
There were not many patients in the morning, but more often at noon, Xiao Fengwu was drowsy in the sun, and his face was listless. ."
The woman on the opposite side kept coughing, with an abnormal blush on her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, I used to read it in Baoshengtang, and the prescriptions are all here, but it doesn't seem to be any better, instead, it's getting worse and worse. What's more serious?"
"This wind and cold
It’s too warm, so naturally it won’t work.” Xiao Fengwu lowered his eyes, picked up the brush and added twelve herbs to the prescription: “Except kudzu, perilla leaves, parsnip, cinnamon stick, angelica, tangerine peel, platycodon, licorice, ginger , when you drink the medicine, you need to add another pill of Shunqi Pill to take. "
The woman hesitated: "But this Shunqi Dan is expensive..."
Xiao Fengwu said: "It depends on whether you want money or life."
After he finished speaking, he pushed the prescription, and was about to say the next one, when a slightly older male voice suddenly sounded above his head: "It is not necessary to use Shunqi Dan, but add Nepeta lotus, and the effect will not be reduced."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengwu threw the pen, and the ink dots splashed: "This woman suffers from asthma, and she has to take Shugan Jiuwei Decoction every day. On the contrary, it will make things worse, and it must be neutralized by the Qi Dan, old man, next time you don’t know the whole situation, don’t show off here.
After he finished speaking, he lifted his eyelids to look at him, only to realize that it was a middle-aged old man who was speaking. A little embarrassed.
Xiao Fengwu unconsciously rubbed his thumb on his sleeve and frowned slightly. He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
At this moment, two sedan chairs suddenly turned back not far away. Two men came down one after the other. The first one was wearing official uniforms. It was the local county magistrate. The green jade belt is full of style, and the county magistrate is a little shorter in front of him, and he is always attentive and smiling.
They were surrounded by yamen with swords and wanted to come here with extraordinary identities. When the people saw this, they subconsciously avoided it. The man in the sapphire blue robe stepped forward and said to the old man who had just interjected: "Master Xiao, it is not decided to go to the taotie building for dinner. Well, why did you stop halfway through, let us find it."
"Hahaha, don't be surprised, Mr. Fan, this old man passed through here, and heard that there was a young genius doctor. I came to see it. Who would have thought that it was my incompetent nephew? You said it was a coincidence."
The old man said, looking at Xiao Fengwu, who was stunned, with his hands behind his back, sighed, and said with a smile, "Sixteen, do you still remember Second Uncle?"
Old Mrs. Xiao has only two sons, the eldest son Xiao Pingzhang, and the second son Xiao Linru. This Xiao Pingzhang died at an early age, but the second son was not very filial.
At that time, Mrs. Xiao was the head of the hospital. He saw through the secrets in the palace, and brought the whole family to resign and return to old age. Who would have thought that the second son, Xiao Linru, would not give up Ronghua and steal the first-line acupuncture handed down from his family to cure the disease. The heavy noble concubine, the current queen concubine, has had a prosperous official career since then, but the old lady Xiao was so angry that he directly removed him from the family tree, saying that the Xiao family was not allowed to mention him again, and he only thought that he did not have this son.
It happened many years ago, Xiao Fengwu almost forgot that he still has a second uncle, but Xiao Linru has been walking on thin ice in the palace these years.
Xiao Fengwu saw what he said to the man in the sapphire blue robe, and then surrendered to the crime. The other party shook his head and laughed, and then he left with the county magistrate.
There were only two servants left behind Xiao Linru. He looked up at the dilapidated signboard of Huichuntang, thoughtfully, and then said slowly, "...I haven't been to Yancheng for decades, Sixteen, if you still recognize it. My second uncle, how about our uncle and nephew find a quiet place to have a drink or two?"
Xiao Fengwu pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Where is the second uncle, I happen to know a tavern. If you don't dislike it, let's go together."
Xiao Fengwu doesn't drink spirits, but he used to go to the tavern in Wutong Alley to taste the green beauty that he made at home with plums, but maybe he hasn't been there for a long time, and the shopkeeper will not recognize him.
There were no customers in the tavern. There was an iron pot under it, and the braised beef was boiled. It was bubbling hot, and it was full of meat aroma. Xiao Fengwu said to the boss: "Cut two plates of beef, and then serve two pots of Qingmeiren."
Then he went to the private room on the second floor with Xiao Linru.
It just happened to be raining lightly outside, Xiao Linru chose a seat by the window to enjoy the scenery outside, he saw Xiao Fengwu was eating peanuts calmly, his expression was a little complicated, he hesitated a few times, and asked aloud: "You guys ... are you all right?"
When Xiao Fengwu heard the words, he paused.
Then he laughed: "I'm still successful. Anyway, I can eat a meal. I don't know about the other dozen brothers and sisters. They may still be local, or they may have gone to other places."
Xiao Linru sighed softly: "It's because I'm not filial, and I can't, save the Xiao family..."
Xiao Fengwu opened his eyes and said, "There's nothing to save. It's not a lie for the Xiao family to sell tobacco soil. It's good to save a life. By the way, the second uncle is staying well in the capital, why did you return to Yancheng?"
Xiao Linru waved his hand and signaled the servants beside him to step down, then said: "It's a long story, the Empress is about to give birth, but the fetal position is not right, I am not good at learning skills, and after discussing with all my colleagues, I can't do anything, so I came to Yancheng by the emperor's order. , I want to find the ancient medical books confiscated by the Xiao family, and seek a way to rescue, just happened to be Master Fan who came to visit various prefectures and counties, and he came with him when he was passing by."
Xiao Er brought up the wine and beef, Xiao Fengwu filled two glasses of wine, and then said, "What ancient medical books does the Xiao family have? It's time to read them. Second uncle, didn't you read them all?"
Xiao Linru drank the glass of wine and let out a long sigh: "I was arrogant and arrogant at the time, and I always felt that my father was too cowardly, but now I am in the deep palace, I realize that it is not easy, and I am not afraid that others will poke my spine and call me unfilial. Now, father, he is really cruel, he would rather burn needles than give it to me."
Xiao Fengwu didn't know what to think, so he drank a glass of wine and said with a smile, "He is indeed ruthless."
Xiao Linru looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard from the magistrate that among the sixteen grandchildren, the one who hurts the most is you."
Xiao Fengwu also looked at him, spread his hands and said, "So what? People are already old, but before my grandfather died, he said something."
Xiao Linru's pupils shrank when he heard the words, and he asked, "What did he say?!"
Xiao Fengwu thought for a while before saying, "He said that the Xiao family's stunt acupuncture can only be taught to the Xiao family, and must not be passed on to others, otherwise it will ruin the food for future generations."
And Xiao Linru had already been removed from the genealogy.
When Xiao Linru heard the words, his eyelids twitched quickly, and his face was visibly gray. He obviously understood the deep meaning of his words, and asked reluctantly: "Your grandfather... he didn't say anything before he died. me?"
"Said," Xiao Fengwu put down the glass, "grandfather said, among the children of the Xiao family, you have the worst medical skills, the least filial piety, and the least successful one."
"Dang--"
A light cyan wine glass suddenly fell from the table, Gulu rolled around on the wooden floor, slanting raindrops floated in from the window, Xiao Linru couldn't help closing his eyes.
Xiao Fengwu drank another glass of wine and stared at him intently: "My grandfather was afraid that someone would steal the Xiao family's medical skills. Before he died, he set fire to all the ancient books. You don't have to look for it."
Xiao Linru finally opened his eyes, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "He is still... still so cruel... so selfish..."
Xiao Fengwu still responded with a smile: "It's really cruel, it's really selfish, but everyone else is dead, so it's useless to say this."
