"The Materia Medica clearly states the Eighteen Rebellions, and the half-flowered beetle and the stalk attack the crow.
The algae halberds and the war weeds, and the ginseng, Xinshao, and veratrum... "
The inn here often serves dignitaries and nobles, and is well versed in the needs of these nobles. In addition to the large kitchen used to serve guests and serve dishes, there are also several small stoves for them to cook some private meals.
Holding a mortar in his hand, Su Ting threw pieces of sun-dried lilies into the grinder, murmured words, and after a long time raised his eyes and blinked in confusion, he asked, "Brother Nian, I just memorized ,What does this mean?"
Yu Jinnian sifted a basket of glutinous rice flour, and couldn't help but think of his own time, saying: "When I recited these, I was only seven or eight years old, and I just learned a few words, so I just followed them, so I don't know what they mean. "
Thinking of his childhood, he lost his mind for a moment, then smiled for a moment, and explained seriously: "Okay, I won't mention the past. These eighteen evils are exactly the taboos when talking about medicines, such as aconitum. It should not be used together with pinellia, melon, bletilla, and bletilla striata, otherwise it will cause toxicity or adverse reactions. But this is not a dead rule. There are often people who do the opposite, and use the opposite. It’s just that you’re new to medicine and have little knowledge, so you should remember these first, and you can win in a steady way. How to use it will be explained in detail later.”
Su Ting nodded knowingly.
"Although everyone wants to become a famous doctor," Yu Jinnian put down the basket, opened a small medicine cup next to his hand, poured in two qian yuanzhi and half a tael of dried walnut kernels, sat on the stove and cooked on a low heat, and checked again Having asked the shopkeeper to grind the japonica rice overnight, he expressed his feelings, "It is difficult to become a famous doctor, but it is easy to be a quack doctor. But Su Ting, even if you are a quack doctor who does not hurt or itch, you must not act rashly. Wealth, and killed again."
Su Ting nodded vigorously, and said happily: "I will definitely remember it well, Master!"
"Hey..." A "Master" called Yu Jinnian a failure, and he couldn't hold back his serious face as a teacher, and instantly smiled as a joking young man, "This name is really strange, it makes people feel uncomfortable , as usual!"
"How can I do that? It is still important to respect the teacher. Since you have taught me medical skills, you are my master." Su Ting lowered his eyes, silently grinding the stone pestle in his hand, and said somewhat disappointedly, "I learned Medical skills are for Haitang. If there are more doctors who can tell right from wrong, maybe Haitang will not die. I know... the disease may not be cured for a while, but as long as you are alive, there will always be someone Don't you hope?"
As he spoke, his eye circles were red: "If Haitang was still alive and could go to Xiajing with us, how happy he would be! I should have taken him out for a walk earlier, and shouldn't have left him alone home..."
Yu Jinnian squeezed his shoulder: "I haven't done any evil in the first generation, maybe I have been reincarnated as a royal nobleman? I will meet you, maybe I have already met you. Come on, show me your arm. I stopped you yesterday." Did someone ask someone to beat you?"
Su Ting lifted up his sleeve, and showed Yu Jinnian a faint bruise, which had turned blue overnight: "Are you okay yesterday?"
"What's the matter with me, a master has calculated it for me. My life is full of hardships and rewards, and I am blessed like the East China Sea!" Yu Jinnian patted his arm, "It's okay, skin trauma, I will ask Qing Huan to get you some actives later Knead with oil."
As he said, there was a rustle behind him, Yu Jinnian looked back, and saw a small thing hiding in the corner of the wall, with a corner of a light yellow skirt exposed. He walked over quietly, hid at the side, suddenly reached out and grabbed her, and shouted: "Ah, isn't this Sui Sui?"
The little girl was terrified, coughed a few times in fright, and then shook off his hand violently.
Yu Jinnian didn't know where he had offended this girl, every time he went to coax her for a long time with gentle words and delicious food, but he couldn't even get a word of "Brother Xiaonian". Sui Sui is the only thing Erniang cares about, he can't beat or scold him, he puts it in his hand to protect him but he is ignored all the way, now he is a little annoyed, he grabs the girl: "Sui Sui!"
Sui Sui struggled a few times, but Yu Jinnian scratched her wrist red, she was so angry that she lowered her head and bit it.
This biting skill is probably the best skill of a bowl of noodle restaurants. Yu Jinnian bit Boss Xia just yesterday, but today he was held in his mouth by this girl, leaving a row of sharp tooth marks, which shows that the retribution came quickly.
Ji Hong came down to look for someone, and while listening to Shi Xing's report, he said that there was indeed a tea merchant named Xia in Dongchong Mansion, but this family had moved to Yuedi with his family two years ago, and occasionally came back to do tea business, but also There are no relatives and friends who can interact with each other, so no one in Dongchong Mansion knows him well, only a few elderly tea house owners have some impressions of this tea merchant with the surname Xia. Shi Xing inquired about it, and finally described, age They couldn't match each other, but some tea house owners said that maybe they were the descendants of that old Xia.
In general, no valuable news was found.
"Stop! What kind of temper are you playing?" Yu Jinnian suddenly dropped his hands, seeing that girl was about to run away, he got angry with her for the first time in his life, and said in a deep voice.
It was rare for Ji Hong to see Yu Jinnian get angry, so he raised his hand to signal Shi Xing to stop, put the matter aside, and looked at the boy with a frown.
Sui Sui stomped her feet, turned her head, and opened her almond eyes: "You are not my mother!"
Yu Jinnian immediately retorted: "I am your brother!"
"You're not! I don't have a brother, a father, or a mother!" Sui Sui yelled at him anxiously, picked up a half-sized gourd in the nearby basket, and threw it at him from a distance. Turned around and ran away.
"Hey, Sui Sui, this little girl!" Su Ting ran over, but didn't stop the girl, he sighed and picked up the gourd that fell on the ground, then raised his head, seeing Brother Nian's face turned pale, he couldn't help but panic He said, "Brother Nian, she is not sensible yet, so don't... don't take it to heart." He didn't know what to say, but he also felt that it was too hurtful.
Yu Jinnian's expression froze, Su Ting went to pick him up, but another hand stretched out from the side to stabilize him.
"Master Ji?"
"Jin Nian." Ji Hong called, he missed his body and took a look at Su Ting, "I'll come here, you go."
Su Ting let go, and wanted to say something, but thinking that Mr. Ji was here, Brother Nian would definitely listen to Mr. Ji's words, and what use would he have for him, so he finally shut up and hesitated. Carrying a few dishes to wash, he continued to recite his Eighteen Anti-Nineteen Fear formulas along the way.
Ji Hong looked sideways at Yu Jinnian who was silent, and suddenly said, "Shall I take that girl and beat her up?"
As soon as the words fell, the young man immediately gave him a "dare you" look in his eyes. Later, when he saw Ji Hong's half-truth and half-fake expression, he realized that he was joking. Then the eyes softened and gradually melted into a deep, helpless sigh. Said: "The more you want to do well, the more mess you make... Oh, it's really difficult."
He went to lift the lid of the medicine cup, thinking about what kind of mess he had done during his rebellious period, did he also pierce his father's heart like this? After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a trivial realization: He had been too cautious before, and he would be fine if he was not afraid that Yu Heng would not want him, and he never dared to rebel at all. Watching his father lose his temper.
— what a comforting conclusion.
As Yu Jinnian thought about it, he was caught off guard by the flames rushing up from the edge of the stove.
Ji Hong brought that hand close to his eyes, kicked him, and condemned him for not paying attention to himself with his eyes, then he frowned and carefully inspected the finger that was licked by the flames, and said depressingly: "There is no one else here, let's go!" What a god."
Yu Jinnian glanced at him, followed his fingers to stick to the other's chest, lowered the corners of his eyes and said, "There is no one else, so you can coax me. I was chased all over the city yesterday, and I was so tired that my legs broke. After a training session, let it dry overnight. I just woke up today, and my back still hurts, so you're going to kill me again... "
"Back pain?" Ji Hong was stunned, his arm passed through his waist, hanging on his thin back for a while, but he didn't dare to fall down easily, for fear of hurting his sore spot, "Why does my back hurt, but I hurt it yesterday , turn around and let me see."
"Well, it hurts." He was indeed left out by Ji Hong all night yesterday, and had a nightmare of being chased all night. He woke up this morning with a sore waist and back ache like being run over by a wheel. It's not a lie. Yu Jinnian raised his chin slightly, asking Ji Hong to coax him.
Ji Hong gently hugged him around his waist, and he didn't speak for a long time. Yu Jinnian knew that the word "coax" was too charming for him. This person usually said some love words inadvertently. He didn't realize how provocative these words were, but he also That's why it's all the more exciting. It's just that if he is told to say these words deliberately, it can really suffocate him to death.
Ji Hong frowned and hesitated for a while, Yu Jinnian originally planned to make it difficult for him, but this man stretched out his hand to hook the back of his neck, parted the broken hair on his forehead, and kissed him lightly. The kiss was dry and refreshing, and it fell on his sore and tired eyelids that hadn't had a good rest all night. Yu Jinnian's shoulders trembled, and he closed his eyes silently.
After kissing the eyelids, he slowly sank down again, slid over his lips, and whispered: "I actually don't know how to coax you, you make things difficult for me like this."
Yu Jinnian felt that his eyes were so hot that he couldn't open them, so he had to hang them limply without muscles and bones. In his eyes, he saw Ji Hong's fingers caressing his cheeks, which were still slender and slightly cool, and were stained little by little by his blushing cheeks. The same temperature, he muttered in a low voice: "Nonsense, obviously he is familiar with this..."
The corner of Ji Hong's mouth twitched, and Yu Jinnian also smiled, showing a tacit understanding.
"Don't worry about Sui Sui, she is still young, there are always things she can't think about." Ji Hong said, Yu Jinnian glanced at him, thinking of something, but didn't dare to say it, unexpectedly Ji Hong himself did not shy away , Feng Qingyun said calmly, "When the second brother is gone, I also-" He paused, pursing his lips into a smile, "It's just because no one hates you, and in the end you can only hate yourself... How should I deal with this lily powder? "
He turned around and diverted the conversation to other matters, Yu Jinnian immediately withdrew his mind: "Well, bring it to me."
He poured the lily powder into the sifted glutinous rice flour, then added water little by little, and at the same time shook the sieve basket in different ways, and repeated this several times. Small white dumplings with the size of beans.
If he has enough time, Yu Jinnian has never been stingy with the ingredients when cooking, and he is not tired of the complicated process. Compared with the result of getting the dishes out of the pan, he is more like enjoying the process of cooking and enjoying the satisfied expressions of the diners when they taste the dishes . Because of this, Ji Hong likes to watch him busy in the kitchen. Compared with the solemnity and seriousness of practicing medicine, he is more alive than the fire in front of the stove, as if he doesn't know what sorrow is.
There was no one else in the kitchen, so Ji Hong helped boil the milk. As soon as it boiled, Yu Jinnian couldn't wait to take a spoonful to taste it. It was not as sweet as the buffalo milk sold in the streets and alleys of Xin'an County, but it was also full of frankincense. He licked until a ring of milky white juice hung on the tiny hairs around his lips, but he didn't know it.
Ji Hong took advantage of the situation and kissed and exchanged with him. It was another juicy and vivid scene, with white breasts and red tongue, very sticky and entangled... Her chest was red up to her ears, she stuttered and threw the vegetables away, and fled with one hand and one foot, met Qing Huan halfway, and deliberately stopped her from going.
This is the most exciting time for young people. The old hip-hop jokes and clever pride can be unloaded. Now that the heart is already swaying, I no longer pretend to be swaying, just be gentle and harmonious, and this obedience and obedience , and only for him, no one else can enjoy it.
The more he felt this way, the easier it was for Ji Hong to lose his mind and lose his composure, which made him want to tie people firmly by his side more than once, not to take his eyes off for a moment—Xia Jing does not lack a cook, and Da Xia Why be afraid of missing a miracle doctor? A series of accidents recently made his attitude towards this matter a bit firmer, especially yesterday, he was almost scared out of his soul by this little thing.
It's okay if he offends some dandy, but if he was tied up and went back to pay his respects like yesterday, then—
Yu Jinnian didn't know that he was on the verge of being "grounded". After receiving enough comfort, he withdrew from the man's arms and started working seriously. He divided the milk into two parts, one part was mixed with rice milk, and the other part was mixed with the polygala walnut juice that had been decocted in the medicine cup before, boiled each, and added a handful of lily glutinous rice balls. The portion of rice milk is from Ji Hong, which strengthens the spleen and nourishes deficiency;
"Taste it." Yu Jinnian was holding the bowl, and the soup balls in the celadon spoon were pure white. Crushed ice, even ten bowls a day is not satisfying! What are you doing, try it!"
Ji Hong looked at him with downcast eyes, and thought, this young man's best style is not right now - he still has something to look forward to, something to look forward to, he is busy and energetic, he has a future that is completely different from his own .
Yu Jinnian fed him a couple of mouthfuls, and remembered to hang up his baby: "I'll go see Boss Xia in the afternoon. Don't forget to ask Duan Ming to help me go to the gold and silver shop. I have drawn the drawings of those silver needles." Give it to him." He emphatically instructed, "The needle is very important, I must ask him to be careful, it must be polished smooth and meticulous, so that nothing goes wrong."
Listening to him chattering and reading, Ji Hong couldn't help but feel a little more love in his eyes, that's all, who told him to be captivated by that bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus tea.
—
In the afternoon, the brother who sells sugar water in Dongchong Mansion came out to drink under the warming sun, red bean sugar, longan water, soft and glutinous white snow fungus soup, yelling loudly, buckets one by one, one piece The small wooden cart pushed by one hand supports the family's business. Coming from the south of the city and entering Xiaohefang, the number of customers who have money to taste the sweet soup and sugar water gradually increased.
After eating, Yu Jinnian lay down by the window and looked down boredly. In the distance was the sparkling Xiaohefang Neihu Lake. The boats on the lake were swaying, and the fragrant wind was blowing by the lake. He just got into trouble yesterday, and he dared not go down again today. Shaking around, he could only wave his hands, called the Tan Lang, and scooped up a bowl of sweet snow fungus soup to drink.
The method of sweet soup is simple, but it is crushed white fungus, boiled and mixed with sugar, and then simmered in cold water, just for a clear and sweet taste, although in the end it still feels tasteless to eat and it is a pity to throw it away. Barely be regarded as some consolation.
The brother was also tired from walking, so he simply came over and had a conversation with him. The two sat at the back door of the inn and chatted. A decorated boat.
"It's time!" Dan Lang got up and patted the dirt on his clothes, "The boat goes out of the lake every day at the time of day, so I should go."
As soon as Yu Jinnian raised his head, he also heard an outsider report: "Young master, Boss Xia's sedan chair has arrived at the door."
It was really on time, so he also got up, greeted Ji Hong, and went out. Ji Hong sent him to the door, and told him in a low voice to come back after seeing a doctor, not to stay too long, Yu Jinnian nodded vigorously obediently, knowing in his heart that he was wrong about what happened yesterday, and promised that he would not be so reckless in the future.
Ji Hong looked at the sedan chair carefully, as if examining some criminal evidence, but he searched over and over again, and he still didn't find anything wrong, even the bump marks on the side of the sedan chair were naturally flawless. He really couldn't say anything, so he had to let the boy out, and when Yu Jinnian got into the car, he exchanged a glance with the boy who came to invite him.
Zhou Feng was only dressed as a commoner, and bid farewell to Ji Hongdao respectfully. Even Yu Jinnian, who had met him once, took several glances to recognize him, let alone Ji Hongdao who had never met him face to face.
The sedan chair left Xiaohefang and headed east to Dongchongfu.
Ji Hong waved his hand, and Duan Ming and the others immediately followed secretly, following each other all the way, until they reached the big wharf on the Xia'an Canal outside the city, and the small blue-curtained sedan stopped steadily. Yu Jinnian got out and saw a huge passenger ship as tall as a two or three-story building in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, staring at this huge monster stupidly, not knowing what to think.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, please come this way." Zhou Feng led the way, "My master is a merchant, and he is used to taking boats, so he simply eats and lives on board."
Yu Jinnian followed him onto the boat, wondering, "Boss Xia is in the tea business, shouldn't he go to the southwest? There are many mountains and mist in the southwest, and it's rough and rough. I wouldn't be surprised if your master had a hundred good horses outside the Great Wall, but This boat..."
Zhou Feng replied calmly: "Master not only does business in the southwest, but also often does business in the 'sea'. The foreigners there are quite fond of our Daxia's tea and milk products, so there are one or two ships going to sea. It’s not surprising. The last time Mr. Xiao mentioned silver needles, it happened that the doctor we invited earlier kept a pair, so I don’t know whether to take advantage of Mr. Xiao’s hand.”
Yu Jinnian boarded the deck with confusion, leaning on the railing, the canal stretching to the end of the field of vision was comparable to a wide river, with waves rippling on the river, and several fishing boats shuttled back and forth, fishing for fish, shrimp, clams—such a magnificent view, but he didn’t know how much it cost How many generations of painstaking efforts to complete.
Zhou Feng tapped twice, and a deep voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
Yu Jinnian blinked, and gently pushed open the door. Before anyone entered, he smelled a fresh and elegant scent of incense. He walked in carefully, and saw the person inside the room bowing his head slightly, using a The silver dagger picks up the fragrant clay contained in the tortoise shell box, and gently twists it into a three-legged double-eared stove. The stove is shaped like a golden unicorn, and the blue and white mist floats out from the gold thread hollow, and the end is exquisite and luxurious.
The other party came out from behind the table and said: "The new incense I bought at Shengxiangfang yesterday has a unique name called 'Meeting'. It is said that it is the current Xiaoxiang King of the Sheng family..." He said with a soft smile, "Oh, It was the young lady from the Sheng family who forced Mr. Xiao to kiss her yesterday, Sheng Changxia, who arranged it with her own hands."
He took a deep breath, straightened his waist, put the incense sticks aside, and praised: "The girl is indeed a talented woman. It would be a good thing if Mr. Xiao married her. But I heard that Mr. Xiao already has a family." Room? That's a pity, I don't know whose daughter is so blessed to be favored by the little genius doctor."
Yu Jinnian repented: "Boss Xia, don't bring this up again, it's embarrassing!"
"Sir, please sit down." Yan Chang rolled up his sleeves and ordered outside the door, "Thursday, Bucai, warm a pot of Baiechun."
Since the incident with the poisonous umbrella last time, Yu Jinnian didn't dare to touch alcohol indiscriminately again, so he quickly waved his hand and politely refused: "No need, Boss Xia came here for medical treatment, thinking about it, I'm also very anxious. As a doctor, I should get rid of it." There is absolutely no reason to put the cart before the horse when you are sick, let’s see a doctor first!" He smiled awkwardly, "Besides, I ate something wrong earlier, and I feel uncomfortable when I drink alcohol. This drink... must never be eaten again. gone."
Yan Chang pondered for a while: "That's the same reason. But it will take a while for the food to come out, and it won't be too late to use it after Mr.'s diagnosis. You can't ask Mr. Xiao to go back on an empty stomach. The water on this river is very beautiful. It would be a great pity if I missed it. However, Mr. Xiao can’t drink alcohol, so it’s better to replace wine with tea, so that Xia can express his feelings.”
After talking about this, it would be too unreasonable to refuse, Yu Jinnian thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Feng quickly sent some medical equipment, and Yu Jinnian picked it out. Although he was a little dissatisfied in the end, it was still acceptable. What's more, he just mentioned a mouthful of moxa yesterday. Boss Xia actually bought it back.
The day before, although he had a rough look at the symptoms of this person, today he still needs to think more carefully about the symptoms, so that he can be more confident and bold in administering acupuncture and medicine. The moment his mind was spinning, Yu Jinnian had already collected his expression, sat upright by the desk, asked Yan Chang's left hand, and wanted to feel his pulse.
Yan Chang leaned against his back, his eyes gradually climbed up from the outstretched hand, and fell on Yu Jinnian's ivory face—he seemed to be different from the handsome young man in the arena, he was more focused and serious, his eyebrows and eyes Drooping, with a restrained expression, his eyelashes fluttered slightly as he thought about it, and there was a strange milky fragrance on his body.
cure
He never planned that his long-term illness would be cured by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, even though this boy was quite famous in Changdu Mansion and was praised by others. But he has seen too many "miracle doctors" over the years, repeatedly, occasionally with success, but his arm is broken and good, good and bad, as if the heavens deliberately tortured him, and he never gave him a good time .
He just wanted to take a look at that lonely, indifferent, watertight heir of the Ji family, who had been huddled in the Duke's mansion all year round, while saying that he had nothing to do with the world, while pulling him forward and backward with his invisible hand. The third son of Ji, that half-breed bastard who has survived many catastrophes, for whom is he willing to come out of his "embroidered boudoir" that he has avoided for a lifetime.
Seeing Yu Jinnian today, Yan Chang couldn't help but find it funny. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, even Ji Shuluan, who has few desires and no desires, has not escaped this sentence after all.
It's just that this young man, sometimes happy and sometimes quiet, is definitely not in the ranks of "beauties", but when Yan Chang looks at him, sometimes he unconsciously thinks of the word "vivid". Others are fearful of others, respectful of others, and even more harmful to others. For more than ten years, he has been aroused by the spirit of killing and attacking. When he was sleeping soundly at night, he could not leave the blade under his pillow for several years. I haven't had the energy to deal with any romantic affairs for a long time.
He is also a body of flesh and blood, why doesn't he feel tired, why doesn't he want to have a caring person to accompany him.
Yan Chang fell into deep thought for a moment, his brows were furrowed, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the young man had called him "Boss Xia, Boss Xia" several times, asking him to use the other hand to feel the pulse, and he did as he was told. Looking at Yu Jinnian carefully, he suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Yu Xiao from? Are there any other relatives in the family?"
Yu Jinnian said: "I used to be from a small village in the south of the mountain, but something happened to my family, and my family... all disappeared. Later, I moved to Xin'an County, Changdu Prefecture, and settled down here." He remembered the things before he came to a bowl of noodle restaurant Unexamined, because there are not many good things, so I don't want to mention it too much, I just scribbled it in one sentence.
Yan Chang talked about a past event: "It's nothing, just looking at Mr. Xiao's eyebrows and eyes, and he is somewhat familiar. But the hermit has been hiding for decades, and he has never heard of such a smart and lovely offspring as Mr. Xiao. "
"There are tens of thousands of people in this world. Even if the gods created people, it is not surprising that they will inevitably make up a few similar faces. It's just that I was born relatively ordinary." Yu Jinnian said.
Yan Chang lowered his head and smiled, and looked at him twice more, but stopped arguing too much: "Perhaps it is."
