Listen to what my mother said. Sima Kang didn't want to say anything more, so he immediately agreed, ran out and asked the slave to prepare the carriage, and then carried Sima Guang into the carriage with all hands and feet, and Fei Shen Doctor personally accompanied him to Yang Xianmao's medical hall.

Doctor Fei wanted to go in and greet Yang Xianmao and let him see if he could see Lord Sima first. But he was stopped by the old lady, pointed to the long queue and said, "Everyone is in a hurry, everyone is afraid of death." At this time, you have to take the lead, people know that we are officials, and Mingli doesn't dare to do anything, and he must hate it to death in his heart. - People who are hated by everyone will not be favored by God. Let's line up. ”

Sima Kang heard his mother say this, although he was anxious and complained that his mother was too old-fashioned, but he had no choice but to do so. So I asked my mother to wait outside, and I obediently went in and lined up.

Fortunately, Yang Xianmao saw a doctor very quickly, and in the past few days, he has a rough idea of the type of plague that occurred in the capital. As long as you ask a few simple questions, you can determine which type it is by diagnosing the pulse, and immediately let the two sisters and brothers of Hua Youying next to them copy the prescription.

The basic prescription for the treatment of summer temperature has been written in advance, and Yang Xianmao only needs to add or subtract on it, and adjust the dose according to the patient's condition. If it weren't for that, there were too many patients for him to keep busy, and some of them were in critical condition and couldn't afford to delay.

Of course, for those who are in complex and critical condition, they can't and won't be so fast. It is necessary to prescribe treatment after a detailed examination.

Although he had done as fast as he could, he still waited until noon before it was Sima Guang's turn to see a doctor.

When they carried the patient in and put him on the small bed, and when Doctor Fei appeared in front of Yang Xianmao, Yang Xianmao was very surprised, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Sir, what kind of wind blew you here?"

Doctor Fei also hurriedly said: "That's the case, I treat a patient, and it's also a summer temperature." But his condition is very complicated, he used prescriptions but it didn't work much, and the patient was in critical condition and had fainted. I don't dare to delay, so I'm here to ask you for help, you can show it, and I'll learn too. ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Mr. is too polite, the student doesn't dare to be it." As he spoke, he walked over to the small bed, sat down on a stool, and began to see a doctor. After all, now is not the time to be polite, and there are still many patients waiting for him to see. The patient's condition in front of him should also be treated symptomatically after the condition is determined as soon as possible, and there is no need to spend more time on politeness.

After Yang Xianmao checked his pulse and looked at his tongue, he pondered for a moment, turned to Doctor Fei and asked, "I don't know what the prescription that Mr. prescribed before?"

Doctor Fei immediately said his prescription. Yang Xianmao smiled after hearing this: "Sir's recipe is no problem, but some new adjustments may need to be made." It is necessary to nurture yin and collect yang, and at the same time add anticonvulsive medicine. ”

At the moment, he said to Hua Wuxiang, who was in charge of copying the prescription: "Six coins for raw land, six coins for raw turtle nails, three coins for rhino horns, six coins for Xuanshen, three coins for antelope horns, three coins for danpi, eight coins for Mai Dong Lianxin, four coins for raw white peony, three coins for mulberry leaves, take twice a day." ”

After listening to Yang Xianmao's prescription, Doctor Fei's eyes lit up and said, "Okay! I really admire, why didn't I think of it?"

Yang Xianmao said: "My prescription may not be able to work immediately, this old man's illness has been entangled in his body for many days, and his illness is already very deep. I'm afraid that not one or two doses of medicine can be effective. After taking these medicines, it is necessary to see the effect. Then make appropriate adjustments according to the situation of taking medicine. Don't hope that you can be cured all at once, the gods can't do it. ”

The old lady had been accompanying her, and when she heard Doctor Fei praising Xiaolang's prescription, she was suddenly relieved. It seems that this little man uses a prescription that even Doctor Fei admires, which is extraordinary. Hurriedly blessed and said, "Thank you, Childe." Our lord, this illness is all up to you. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "You're welcome, everyone go slowly, I have to continue to see others." ”

Everyone saw that Yang Xianmao was really busy, so they didn't dare to delay more. grabbed the medicine, and then carried Sima Guang into the carriage and returned to the mansion. On the way, Dr. Fei said goodbye and left.

When she got home, the old lady hurriedly instructed the maid to decoct the medicine immediately, and then took it for her husband herself, and then sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly. In the evening, Sima Guang, who was lying down, muttered groggyly: "Madame......"

Although this sentence was very light, the old woman heard it clearly, and suddenly tears of joy welled up in her eyes. The husband was in a coma for several days, and finally spoke today, although he didn't know whether he was talking nonsense or really recognized himself by his side, but it was enough to make the old woman excited, and quickly leaned down and trembled to hold her husband's palm, and said while weeping: "Master, I am here, by your side...... What do you think......

After a pause, Sima Guang did not answer, and the flame of hope that the old lady had originally ignited quickly lowered again. Then, I heard Sima Guang's weak voice again, and said, "I'm fine, Madame has worked hard......"

When the old lady heard that her husband could understand her words accurately, she replied. The happy old tears couldn't help but roll down, covered his palms and sobbed, "Look at you...... It's all like this, and I insist that it's okay......"

Sima Guang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the old woman, and then at his son Sima Kang, who was standing behind him and looked at him with the same joy, and blinked. The corners of his mouth barely grinned a shallow smile and said: "My old bones are hard enough, not so fast, die ......"

Sima Kang said happily: "You have been in a coma for several days, and the judge of the Tai Hospital, Wang Yuanju, and Dr. Fei Shen have come to see you." Multi-medication, that's good. ”

The old lady turned her head and glanced at Sima Kang very dissatisfied, and said to her husband: "Actually, the biggest effect on curing your illness is a little Langzhong, called Yang Xianmao, he opened a Xianmao medical hall, that is, the Xiao Langzhong who married the daughter of King Wu, I heard that he cured the daughter of King Run, the innate terminal illness that even the doctor of the Tai Hospital was helpless and weak, and even the doctor Fei was full of praise for him." ”

After Sima Kang was glared at by his mother, he also felt a little ashamed, after all, what really made his father wake up and be able to speak was really the medicine in this little man. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, after the two of them have taken the medicine a few times, the effect is not very good, this morning my mother and Doctor Fei sent you to let that Xiao Langzhong show you, he prescribed a prescription." You've just taken the first pill, and you'll be able to speak now, and if you're taking a pill, you'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow. ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "It's not so fast, don't talk nonsense." The people said that the old man's disease is a little troublesome. If he can say it bluntly, that's what people can be sure of. So don't worry, sir, and don't worry. Your illness won't heal soon, but it will get better. With such a miracle doctor as Xiao Langzhong to show you, you have met a nobleman. So your illness will definitely get better, don't worry. ”

Sima Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "I've heard of this little lang, but I didn't care much about it before. I didn't expect to get his treatment, you have to be good thank you......"

The old woman said, "Sir, don't talk yet, beware of being tired." Don't worry, when you are well, we will invite Xiaolangzhong to our home, and thank you for your good life. It's just that he is busy at this time, and many people in the city are suffering from the plague. A lot of them went to his hospital to see a doctor. When he heard that the last time the flood rushed into the city, he had anticipated it, built a big ship, put all the medicine on the boat, and saved it. There are not many medical centers in the city that have medicinal herbs. He didn't take advantage of the opportunity of the only one to make a lot of money. We grabbed the medicine at his pharmacy today, and the cost of the medicine was the same as usual. This little man is not greedy for money and does not take advantage of the fire to rob, and he is bent on patients, which is really admirable. ”

Sima Guang nodded slowly and said, "If this is the case, this person is worth befriending, I want to meet him." If there is really such a high style and bright festival, and there is also medical talent, I will definitely recommend him to the emperor to be the imperial doctor. My body is getting worse and worse, and I don't know how many years I can survive, if I can really recommend some talents for the country, I will die without regrets. ”

When the old lady heard this, she raised her hand and slapped her husband lightly on the arm, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you are in good health." The emperor is still counting on you to help him rule the world. ”

Speaking of this question, the smile on Sima Guang's face disappeared. He sighed and said: "The emperor will not use me anymore, it is already good for me that he can print the "Zizhi Tongjian" I wrote into a book and distribute it to the world, so that I can leave some warning for future generations." At present, the government's determination to implement the new policy has not wavered, and the new policy is still harming people everywhere. In this life and this life, if I can't see this new policy that has brought disaster to the country and the people completely abolished, I will not be able to turn a blind eye. But the emperor can't hear what I'm saying, what can I do!"

The old lady was busy comforting on the side: "Master, your illness has just improved, and you are worried about the country and the people. Why is it that when you are sick, you can't see it as well as when you are good? Over the years, you have seen it, and if you are quietly doing research in Luoyang alone, wouldn't you have a good time. Since the official family doesn't like to listen to us, let's just do our best, don't think about him, you can only take care of your body well, and you will have the ability to help the official family when the official family really wants to use you in the future. ”

Sima Guang sighed and slowly closed his eyes, maybe he was tired, maybe he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.

This night, Sima Guang slept very peacefully, unlike the first night, and his irritable nonsense from time to time made people worry. The breathing is much steady, the high fever has also dropped a little, and it is not so scary to touch in the hand. This made the old woman who was undressed and guarding the bedside really comforted, and from time to time whispered to her son Sima Kang to praise Yang Xianmao in Xiaolang, saying: "This Lang has such skills at a young age, and he will definitely become a generation of famous doctors in the future." ”

……………

Early the next morning, before dawn, Sima Kang went to the Xianmao Medical Center to line up, not to send Sima Guang over first, and then to go when the queue was almost there, so that there was no need to wait on the street.

Although it was not yet dawn and I went early enough, there were already many people queuing up at the entrance of Yang Xianmao's Xianmao Medical Hall. Sima Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little man is really capable, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment.

When he was about to arrive, Sima Kang told the servants who followed him to run back and inform the old lady that he could send the old lady here.

At Sima Guang's house, Dr. Fei came to visit early in the morning for a follow-up visit.

When Doctor Fei entered the house, Sima Guang was leaning on the head of the bed, and the old lady was carrying half a bowl of gruel and was feeding him.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Fei stroked his gray beard and smiled, and said: "Xiao Langzhong's recipe is really powerful, after only taking medicine for half a day, he can already lean on the bedside and drink gruel." Alas, you can't admire it. ”

Sima Guang smiled and nodded at him, and the old lady hurriedly beckoned him to sit down and said, "Yes, the old man woke up in the morning and said that he was hungry, so I quickly asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of gruel, and I have already eaten most of it." He has not eaten a grain of rice for the past few days, and he must be hungry. ”

Sima Guang said: "I will be able to get out of bed after taking medicine for two more days." There are still a lot of books in my study that haven't been sorted out, and I can't put them down. ”

Doctor Fei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If you can't let it go, you have to let it go, your illness hasn't recovered yet, it's just getting better." Yesterday, Yang Xianmao had already said, don't expect your disease to get better as soon as possible. Because the royal court sentenced you to use the wrong medicine, the summer temperature used typhoid fever and dry medicine, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury and making your illness more complicated. You need to continue to take medication and slowly recuperate until you finally get better, so you can't be in a hurry. ”

Sima Guang sighed and asked, "By the way, how is the flood outside the city, has it receded?"

Doctor Fei frowned and said, "I haven't retreated yet, I went to the city tower yesterday afternoon to take a look, the flood has reached half of the city wall, and the turbidity waves are rolling, which is very scary." I heard that after the Yellow River burst, all the nearby prefectures and counties within thousands of miles were flooded. Millions of people have been displaced and countless more have drowned. The emperor has been working day and night to deal with flood control and disaster relief. But now there is no way, this flood has broken the embankment and besieged the capital. Although the river embankment has been dug downstream to discharge the floodwater, the rain has been particularly heavy this year, and the rain has continued upstream. The flood discharge was not enough to reduce the floods, and it did not play much of a diversion role in the floods besieging the capital. For now, we have to wait for the rainy season to pass. ”

Sima Guang nodded heavily and asked, "Is the official who is fighting the flood and rescuing the water still Cai Jing?"

"It's him, the emperor treats him very seriously. He worked hard, although he was only a petty official in Kaifeng Prefecture, he was able to quickly mobilize many people to participate in the flood fighting and rescue, and he was also very organized. The emperor is going to promote him after the flood recedes. ”

Sima Guang said: "I don't know about this person, but if he can play a big role in this flood fight, the official family can reward and promote and appoint meritorious deeds." It's just that I'm worried that the official family will be happy and be promoted regardless of the rules. Some very young people, because of one or two things to get the emperor's favor, rose to the top and sat on a very high official position. It's actually not good for their growth. If you have a chance, you have to remind the emperor. ”

As soon as he said this, a servant outside the door came in and reported, "Childe's side has already lined up and is almost there, you can go." So the family, accompanied by Doctor Fei, went to Yang Xianmao's Xianmao Medical Center again.

Just after arriving, it was Sima Guang's turn to see a doctor.

When Sima Guang saw Yang Xianmao, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The old man can be healed by the son and pick up the old life, I am grateful!"

Doctor Fei smiled at Yang Xianmao and said, "This is Master Sima Guang. ”
