After being stunned for a while, Tang Fan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said to himself with a smile, "I dare you, Zhongjingtang is indeed an interesting place, I'll go and see it too."
Suizhou has never been a meddling temperament. Tang Fan was really surprised that he could take the initiative to run to Zhongjingtang.
Inevitably, he remembered the girl Du he met in the pharmacy yesterday.
The other party has a beautiful face, a generous conversation, and is of the age of a flower. If Suizhou would be tempted, it would not be surprising at all.
After all, no matter how cold his personality is, Sui Zhenfu is still a normal man.
But the problem is that there are more women in the capital than Miss Du, not to mention, the cousin of Suizhou's uncle is an example, and the other party also has a love for Suizhou.
There is no reason for Suizhou to look down on his childhood sweetheart cousin, but instead, he is attracted to Miss Du, who is only one-sided.
Could it be that there is something unforgettable about that girl Du
Tang Fan was puzzled and a little curious.
After breakfast, he strolled to Zhongjingtang.
Zhongjingtang seems to be so prosperous every day. Yesterday, it was overcrowded, and today it is also crowded.
Many people who came to see a doctor in a hurry didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they bought two buns at the bun shop and queued up while eating the buns, which killed two birds with one stone.
The people next to him chatted in a low voice, and Tang Fan had to listen to him. It is said that Dr. Du was sitting in the hall in person today, and because of his medical skills, so many people came.
Tang Fan didn't come to see a doctor, so he pushed aside the team and squeezed in and went straight into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he was dazzled for a while, and saw that the spacious main hall was also crowded. Where could he still see Sui Zhou
The guy next to him who greeted the guests saw Tang Fan looking around, so he came up to say hello: "Excuse me, guest, are you seeing a doctor or prescribing medicine. If you are seeing a doctor, please queue up outside. If you are just prescribing medicine, you can just give me the prescription. "
As soon as Tang Fan saw him, he smiled: "Why, you don't remember me?"
Seeing the dazed look on the man's face, Tang Fan reminded, "I lost my arm yesterday, and I came to your place."
The guy remembered, he vaguely remembered that Tang Fan seemed to be not low-level, and hurriedly said with a smile: "My lord, are you here...?"
Tang Fan said with a smile: "Yesterday I was given medicine by your girl, and today I came here specially to thank you."
The guy suddenly said: "It just so happens that the girl is here, please come here!"
The two crossed the noisy crowd, and the man took him to the other side of the main hall.
Only then did Tang Fan see that Miss Du was also sitting in the hall to see a doctor today, but she was blocked by someone just now, and she was sitting again, so she didn't see it for a while.
Although they were all sitting in the hall, there were far fewer patients in front of her than her father, and there was a bead curtain in the middle, which was a separate place, and most of the people who came to see her were women.
Tang Fan also saw that Sui Zhou, who was "out of the door early in the morning" by the officer at the official post, was sitting on a chair outside the curtain with a book in his hand, as if he was taking it seriously.
The guy wanted to lead Tang Fan to Miss Du, but Tang Fan stopped him and let him go first.
Because there were too many people, and there were people coming and going around, Miss Du and Suizhou didn't notice Tang Fan's arrival.
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor came over to take over. Miss Du got up and said a few words to the other party, then let her sit out, opened the curtain and walked to Suizhou, smiled and asked a question, Suizhou carried it. At first, as if to answer her, he saw Tang Fan.
Seeing that both of them noticed him, Tang Fan had no choice but to touch his nose and walk over.
Du Gui'er was a little surprised: "Master Tang?"
In a hurry yesterday, Tang Fan's surname was later learned from Meng Cun.
Tang Fan greeted with a smile: "Hello, Miss Du, I received a gift of medicine yesterday, and my face is as flawless as before, so I'm here to thank you."
If it were said by the man next to him, it would be frivolous, but when it came out of Tang Fan's mouth, it was very gentle.
Du Gui'er couldn't help but burst into a smile: "Master Tang is too polite, you'll be fine."
However, Sui Zhou didn't seem to be able to see such a scene of laughing at Yan Yan, and said in a very unpleasant manner: "You don't have to go to Wang Zhi's place today?"
It was as if he had interrupted his good deeds.
Tang Fan couldn't help but glance at him: "What am I going to do with him? I just got a slap yesterday, and I'm rushing to get another slap today? I won't go again!"
Sui Zhou nodded and turned to Du Gui'er without asking any further questions, "Didn't you say you want to teach me to identify medicinal herbs, are you free now?"
Du Gui'er smiled and said, "Dr. Tian is here, I can let him take over. I don't know where you want to start learning?"
Suizhou: "It's all right, you decide."
Has it all come this far
Did he miss something
Tang Fan couldn't help opening his eyes slightly.
Sui Zhou and Du Gui'er didn't seem to notice his expression, they got up one after the other and walked over to the medicine cabinet.
Taking advantage of Du Gui'er walking in front, Tang Fan couldn't help grabbing Sui Zhou's sleeve, pulling him back to him, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I know you were interested in medicinal herbs before?"
Unexpectedly, Sui Zhou's answer choked him to death: "Now I'm interested."
Tang Fan: "..."
Before the two could say more, Du Gui'er turned around and said, "Master Sui?"
Sui Zhou's sleeve slipped lightly from Tang Fan's hand: "Just call me Guangchuan."
Tang Fan: "..."
Du Gui'er's cheeks were slightly powdered: "I'll still be called Big Brother Sui."
Sui Zhou hummed, but did not object.
Tang Fan: "..."
Zhongjingtang's medicinal materials are indeed very complete, and the high medicine cabinet is inlaid with dense drawers.
Each drawer has the name of the medicinal herb pasted on paper.
In order not to interfere with the person who was helping the patient to dispense medicine, Du Gui'er chose the next position.
Du Gui'er: "I can't reach the upper drawer, so I have to use a ladder. Let's recognize the lower one first."
Sui Zhou nodded: "Okay."
Du Gui'er opened a drawer, grabbed a little of the medicinal herbs inside, put them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to Sui Zhou. He asked him to observe its shape and smell, and briefly described the medicinal properties and uses of the medicinal herbs, as well as some taboos, etc. Wait.
Suizhou actually studied very seriously, and sometimes asked questions.
The two of them teach and learn, and they have no distractions, but in this turbulent environment, they seem extraordinarily harmonious.
Instead, Tang Fan was standing aside, suddenly feeling that he was becoming an eyesore.
If he didn't know Suizhou very well, Tang Fan would have really thought that he planned to open a pharmacy in the capital.
But if Suizhou didn't open a pharmacy, why was he suddenly so concerned about identifying medicinal materials
Could it be that he really had a crush on this girl Du
Just when Tang Fan was thinking about it, Du Gui'er had already grabbed two medicines from two drawers.
"This is turmeric and sliced turmeric. Both have similar medicinal properties and can activate blood and qi, but turmeric is the rhizome of turmeric, while sliced turmeric is the rhizome of Wenyujin, produced in Zhejiang. The difference between the two is that turmeric can treat blood stasis in the chest and abdomen. Pain, and turmeric tablets are mainly used for pain caused by paralysis."
Suizhou thought thoughtfully: "The pathology is different."
Du Gui'er nodded with a smile: "Yes, so although they have similar effects, the diseases they treat are very different. If people don't know much about medical theory, it's easy to use them indiscriminately, and eventually cause big problems."
She has a bright temperament, and faintly felt that Sui Zhou really meant something to herself, so she wanted to tease "Would you like me to be your teacher?", but out of the corner of her eye, she found that there was Tang Fan standing beside her. Sorry, I can only swallow this joke.
She put the medicine back in the drawer and took out two more.
"This is… "
"Is this Shan Yinhua and Honeysuckle?" Someone next to her spoke faster than her.
Du Gui'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, it is Shan Yinhua and honeysuckle. Shan Yinhua is mostly found in the south, and its shape is very similar to honeysuckle, and few people in the north recognize it. I didn't expect Master Tang to have such a knowledge of pharmacology. profound knowledge."
Tang Fan rolled up his sleeves and smiled: "I can't talk about profoundness. I grew up in the south, so I recognize it."
Sui Zhou patted his shoulder.
Tang Fan looked at him puzzled.
Suizhou: "The three fresh buns at the bun shop next to it are good. Would you like to try them?"
Tang Fan: "..."
You used to say that I was your best friend, but now you want to send me away because of the slender lady
Master Tang thought sourly, but his face did not reveal the slightest, but looked back innocently: "No, you have a full breakfast, you can buy it if you want, it's enough for Miss Du to have me here, and I want to too. Learn pharmacology from Miss Du."
Suizhou: "..."
Du Guier: "..."
Du Gui'er didn't think she was so good all of a sudden that two young talents from the capital all looked at her at the same time and showed great hospitality to her. She watched Sui Zhou talking with Tang Fan, and she always felt that this There seems to be something in the words between the two, with a lot of unfinished meaning.
"Miss Du!" The previous guy shouted from outside.
He quickly squeezed in with a middle-aged woman, panting, "Girl, sister-in-law Xing is here!"
Du Gui'er turned her head with a smile on her face, obviously knowing the woman in front of her.
"Sister Xing, are you here to get the medicine again?"
"Yes..." Sister-in-law Xing smiled awkwardly, "I'm here to disturb Miss Du again. If you're busy, I'll just wait!"
Her dress is simple and simple, no different from any woman from a common family on the street. Although she looks young, the deep lines on the corners of her eyes and mouth all reveal the fact that she has been under the pressure of livelihood for a long time.
"It's okay, you are an old customer, so naturally you have to take extra care!" Miss Du said gently, "Did Fang Zi bring you?"
"Bring it! Bring it!" Sister-in-law Xing said repeatedly, taking out a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom and handing it over.
Miss Du lowered her head and glanced hurriedly: "Achyranthes pregnant with licorice, licorice, cinnamon twigs... This is a recipe for treating arthralgia, isn't Uncle Jiang's waist and legs bad?"
Sister-in-law Xing sighed: "Yes, last time he didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going up the mountain to pick herbs. As a result, it rained that day and was trapped in the mountains. When he came back, he had this problem!"
Miss Du disagreed very much: "sister-in-law, you have to persuade Uncle Jiang, he is too old, how can he still run up the mountain to collect medicine, what if he falls?"
Sister-in-law Xing lowered her head: "I said the same thing, but no matter how he persuaded him, he wouldn't listen..."
Miss Du shook her head, and it was hard to say anything more: "Just wait here for a while, I'll go get you medicine, it'll be fine soon, this time I'll grab six posts?"
Sister-in-law Xing quickly took out the money from her arms: "Uncle Jiang said that you want nine posts, you can eat it for a longer time and keep it up slowly."
Miss Du pushed the money back and said with a smile: "Okay, then open nine posts, please don't give me the money, or my father will scold me later!"
Sister-in-law Xing was at a loss: "How can this be? If you don't charge me, I won't dare to come again in the future. Uncle Jiang must scold me to death when you know!"
While the two were pushing back and forth, Tang Fan poked Sui Zhou and laughed softly: "Although this girl is not stunning, she is also a beautiful woman, and she is also proficient in medical skills and kind-hearted. It is rare for us Sui Zhenfu. You have moved your heart, do you want me to help you talk about it?"
However, Suizhou didn't even refute the words "moving the heart", he just said: "Don't mess around."
Tang Fan said with a smile, "Why is this nonsense, you still don't believe that I can coax Miss Du so that my heart is attached to you?"
Sui Zhou said: "She is different from ordinary women."
Hearing this, Tang Fan couldn't help but glance at him.
At this time, although Sui Zhou still had a dull expression, in Tang Fan's eyes, he felt that there was some tenderness in this blandness.
No wonder he rushed over early in the morning, this really moved his mind
Du Gui'er and Sister Xing's push had already come to fruition. Du Gui'er took half of the money and stuffed the other half back. Sister Xing could only thank her continuously, her face full of gratitude, and followed the buddy. Got medicine.
Tang Fan curiously said, "Miss Du, although the benevolent can be a doctor, Zhongjingtang is not a good church after all, so why does it only charge half of the money for medicine?"
Du Gui'er sighed: "Sister Xing's husband Jiang Shuben is our doctor in Zhongjingtang. Because of his poor health, he didn't sit here and went back to the countryside of Guangling County to retire. Who knows that not long ago, his son went into the mountains to collect herbs and also It never came back. It is said that no one found it. It may have been taken away by the beasts in the mountains. The rest of Uncle Jiang and Sister Xing lived together. Uncle Jiang himself was a doctor. Then they came to us to get the medicine. It's not easy for them to live. Sister Xing's money must have been exchanged for something at the pawnshop at the street corner when she came, so naturally I can charge less. "
Tang Fan praised: "Miss Du is benevolent and benevolent, and in time she will become a great doctor of the generation!"
Du Gui'er's face turned slightly red: "Master Tang's praise, a little girl really dare not accept it. I haven't heard that a woman can become a great doctor these days. I just follow my father's teaching and do things with conscience."
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Miss Du's words are too bad, let's not say it from afar. The righteous concubine of the Han Dynasty and the lady Zhang of the Song Dynasty were all famous doctors of the generation. Is there any difference between men and women?"
Who doesn't want to listen to good words, not to mention that Tang Fan's words really touched Du Gui'er's heart. Although she smiled and said nothing, she also showed a happy expression on her face.
Suizhou really couldn't bear to see Tang Fan coaxing the little girl here, so he said to him, "There are many people here, and there are tea and snacks there. You go there and sit first, and wait for me to go back with you."
Tang Fan wanted to say that I wasn't hungry, but under Suizhou's gaze, he had to cough lightly: "Well, let's talk slowly."
On the table were the preserved apricots and astragalus cakes that Du Gui'er asked the servant to bring over.
Zhongjingtang is worthy of being a doctor's place, and even the dim sum has the taste of health preservation.
Tang Fan picked up a piece and tasted it, but felt that the entrance was still a little sweeter and not as delicious as he had imagined, so he took a small bite and walked to the door bored.
The sister-in-law Xing, who had just dealt with Du Gui'er, walked past him with the medicine, and didn't notice Tang Fan at all.
Tang Fan stood at the door and watched her leave the pharmacy. She hurriedly disappeared at the corner of the street, as if she was going to Ximen.
Just at this moment, a person walked out of the pawnshop at the street corner.
Tang Fan ate the last bite of the dessert, patted off the crumbs of the dessert in his hand, and was about to turn around to enter when the corner of his eye just swept past the other person.
Although he is not at the point of never forgetting it, people who have seen him rarely forget it. At this time, his figure paused, and he quickly remembered the identity of that person.
The butler of the General Military Mansion
Tang Fan remembered that the housekeeper was also surnamed Wang. He had been with Wang Yue for many years and was the most loyal. When he first visited the General Military Mansion, Wang Yue had specially introduced this person.
Right now, the butler Wang came out of the pawnshop, but his demeanor was not as calm as usual, instead he seemed a little sneaky.
Tang Fan's eyes followed him involuntarily, and he also left Zhongjingtang and followed him all the way.
When passing by the pawnshop, he even looked inside, just in time to meet a person who looked like a shopkeeper inside.
Tang Fan couldn't see anything unusual, so he turned his head and went to follow Butler Wang attentively.
Butler Wang's footsteps were fast, and under the cover of the crowd, he was quickly separated from Tang Fan by a long distance.
Tang Fan had to quicken his pace and keep an eye on the front so as not to lose him.
In fact, he didn't know why he insisted on sticking with Butler Wang. When people are tight on money, it's quite common to pawn some things at the pawnshop. In fact, Butler Wang's behavior is not wrong.
But Tang Fan always had a strange feeling lingering in his heart from the moment he stood at the door of the pharmacy.
It seemed that I had missed some very important information.
But now he has no time to think about it, and can only follow the person in front of him wholeheartedly.
I don't know if Butler Wang noticed that someone was following him. Tang Fan saw that he suddenly slowed down, and turned into a nearby alley.
Tang Fan frowned slightly, and quickly followed, turning into the alley.
The alley is very narrow, but there is only one road, and you need to turn right after a few steps.
As a result, after he turned around, he realized that there was a dead end ahead with no exit.
Tang Fan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party must have found out that he was following him.
Without even thinking about it, he turned and hurried out.
Seeing that the bustling street was close at hand, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The other party rushed towards Tang Fan, as if he still had a sharp weapon in his hand.
Tang Fan flashed to the side subconsciously, his back slammed into the dirt wall, and then his arm hurt again.
He couldn't help screaming in pain, the other party had already rushed up to touch him, and then ran away.
Because the other party had a dagger in his hand, Tang Fan couldn't stop it, so he could only watch the other party grab his purse and then walk away.
Dare to make such a big battle just to rob money
Master Tang was stunned until someone next to him said, "This little brother, your hands are bleeding!"
Tang Fan turned his head to the side, and found that he had a new injury on the arm that he had just dislocated yesterday. A scratch was made on his arm. Although the bones were not injured, blood was still flowing, and the sleeves were dyed dark in a short while.
Who is he provoking? Could it be that this arm is so hateful that everyone sees it as unpleasant
He felt that the injury was not serious, so he declined the offer of passersby to accompany him to the medicine hall. He covered the wound on his arm and walked all the way back to Zhongjingtang. When he came, he didn't feel that the road was long, but he went back out of breath. , plus some blood loss.
When he leaned against Zhongjingtang's door, Tang Fan felt a little dizzy.
The guy who came up was the guy again. He saw that Tang Fan had just gone out for a while, and he came back with an injury in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but turn pale, and hurried forward to help: "What are you doing here, how did you get hurt, hurry up? Hurry up! Girl Du! Girl Du!"
The people in the medicine hall wisely made way for the two of them.
Du Gui'er hurried over upon hearing the news, and as soon as she saw the situation, she hurriedly said: "Quickly enter the back hall, there are gauze and medicine there, stop the bleeding first!"
The guy hurriedly helped him into the back hall. Suizhou had already seen this scene, and in a blink of an eye, he found gauze and medicine. Without a word, he removed half of Tang Fan's outer clothes and the single clothes inside, and then began to help him deal with it. Wound.
Du Gui'er wanted to come in, but seeing this scene, she quickly avoided it.
Although this is clearly not Tang Fan's fault, but seeing Sui Zhou pursing his lips tightly without saying a word and lowering his head to apply medicine and bandage for him, Tang Fan felt a little guilty for no reason, and hurriedly laughed, intending to brighten the atmosphere: "Actually, That is, being slashed with a knife, it's not a big deal..."
When the other party looked up at him, he swallowed it unconsciously.
Sui Zhou saw that the blood was no longer seeping out, but his locked brows did not loosen, but continued to sprinkle the powder carefully and evenly.
The tingling and itchy feeling made Tang Fan gasp for breath, but he could also feel that the powder was very effective. At least the wound was gradually subdued under the action of the powder. Just oozing blood.
"Forbearance." Sui Zhou thought he was uncomfortable, and his movements were a little softer.
"This medicine is worth a lot of money, don't pour it like you don't want money, save a little bit, otherwise Miss Du will be distressed when she looks back." Tang Fan couldn't help reminding him.
Sui Zhou didn't lift his head: "It's not your money anyway."
Tang Fan: "..."
Is this taking gunpowder
Sui Zhou has been staring at the wound closure until he feels that it is almost the same, and then wraps the gauze around Tang Fan's wound.
"Run Qing."
"Huh?" Seeing his serious face, Tang Fan couldn't help sitting up straight.
"I approached Miss Du for a reason." Sui Zhou said solemnly.
There was no one in the back hall, but his voice was not too loud, only the two of them could hear him.
Suizhou: "The Du family has monopolized the needs of medicinal materials in the army. When they transport medicinal materials into and out of the city gate, they don't have to go through additional inspections. If someone wants to use this to do something, it is also very easy. Don't be angry. already."
Tang Fan embarrassed: "I'm not angry..."
Sui Zhou looked at him with a "don't explain it" expression on his face.
Tang Fan coughed lightly with a guilty conscience, and said with a shy smile: "Okay, Guangchuan, you don't have to explain so much to me, I didn't misunderstand that you value sex over friends."
Sui Zhou's eyes showed a little helplessness, but Tang Fan didn't have time to speculate on what he was helpless, and he returned to his usual indifferent to convenience.
After a while, Miss Du's voice sounded outside: "Brother Sui, how is Master Tang?"
Suizhou helped Tang Fan put on his clothes again: "It's okay, it's okay, just come in."
The door was pushed open, and Du Gui'er lifted the beaded curtain. Seeing Tang Fan sitting there neatly dressed, he was also relieved: "Master Tang, do you want me to ask Doctor Tian to check your pulse and get some medicine to go back to recuperate? "
Tang Fan smiled: "No, it's okay to bleed occasionally..."
Suizhou: "He is afraid of hardship."
Tang Fan: "..."
Du Gui'er couldn't help laughing: "Then you have nothing to do on weekdays, eat more red dates and other supplements to nourish blood, and you can also stew red dates and crucian carp soup for these two days."
Tang Fan felt that his original tall image was completely defeated by Suizhou's few words, so he could only say weakly, "Thank you, Miss Du."
Tang Fan was injured, so naturally Suizhou could no longer stay in the pharmacy, so he said goodbye to Du Gui'er and left with Tang Fan first.
When the two left the pharmacy, Sui Zhou asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Tang Fan didn't answer and said, "You ask Wang Zhi to check the housekeeper Wang in Wang Yue's mansion."
Sui Zhou stared: "What?"
Tang Fan told himself that he was following Butler Wang, but he encountered a little thief and was scratched, and finally said, "Although the little thief is trying to steal money, I always think that the timing of his appearance is too coincidental."
Sui Zhou asked, "Did you see what he looked like?"
Tang Fan nodded: "I can draw it when I go back. Let's check from both sides. It's not convenient for me to go openly at Wang Zhi's place, so I'm going to trouble you."
Suizhou sent Tang Fan back to the official post, while he went to Wang Zhi's mansion.
It's been a long time since Tang Fan was gone. In order to wait for Suizhou to come back, Tang Fan stayed in his room and didn't leave, and fell asleep before he knew it.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that he felt like there was movement beside him, and then he opened his eyes in a daze.
"You're back?" Tang Fan asked. He was about to sit up with his elbows on the bed. He didn't expect to touch the wound.
"Don't get up." Sui Zhou said, he took off his outer clothes, blew out the candle, then got on the bed and lay down on the outside.
"How?" Tang Fan automatically and consciously moved inside to make more room for him, while asking.
"The little thief who hurt you has been found."
"Um?"
"died."
Tang Fan was stunned by this unexpected news, but when he saw Sui Zhou's tired face, he said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Sui Zhou hummed, closed his eyes, and his breathing quickly became long and steady.
Tang Fan was thinking about the news that Sui Zhou had just said over and over, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Silent all night.
The next day, both of them got up very early. After Tang Fan washed up, he sat at the table with a bowl of soy milk and was about to drink it when Wang Zhi came to the door.
The author has something to say:
Master Tang, you are obviously afraid of hardship, and you have to break up a bunch of excuses. Now you have been exposed, right
Tang Mao Mao covered his face: My life is wise...
Suizhou: When did you become wise
Tang Fan: When investigating the case!
Suizhou: Just a short while.
