Yang Mingde was happy but also ashamed, and asked his son to pay off his debts for himself. But this money is now tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, with him, you can keep the medicinal materials of the pharmacy, otherwise, you can only close the door.

Seeing this large bag of silver, the money shopkeeper estimated that he could repay at least half of the arrears, smiled, touched his smooth chin and said: "Shopkeeper Yang, your son is very promising, he came out of the hospital and earned so much money." ”

Yang Mingde smiled, opened the bag of silver, counted it, a total of twenty-three taels and three coins, all of which were given to the money shopkeeper.

The money shopkeeper held this bag of silver in his arms, was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "There are still five taels or four coins of silver, this can be graced for a few days, I will take it in a few days." But you have to pay me back before the Chinese New Year's Eve at the latest. Debts must not be turned over. ”

Yang Mingde nodded in agreement, and thanked him.

The shopkeeper said again: "Yang Langzhong, next time you want to take medicine from my medicinal materials, you have to prepare cash, one hand of money and one hand of goods, and you can no longer pay on credit like before." ”

The money shopkeeper thought that the business of Yang Mingde's pharmacy was not good, and if he sold medicinal materials on credit again, he was afraid that he would not be able to recover the money like now. This time, it was his son who was a scholar in the hospital who came back to bring the money, and next time he was afraid that the money for medicinal materials would be gone, so he said the ugly words first.

Yang Mingde was helpless, so he had to nod.

The shopkeeper saw the fish in Yang Xianmao's hand at a glance and said, "This fish is good, how much did you buy it?"

"One hundred wen. ”

"Give me this fish, and make money! I'm really going to buy some meat, and with this string of fish, I don't have to make another trip." How's it going?"

Yang Xianmao said: "The money I owe you will definitely be repaid before the year, this fish I bought home to honor my parents, and I can't pay off the debt." ”

The smile on the face of the shopkeeper disappeared, and he said coldly: "Your father owes me money for medicinal materials for several months, how can you calculate some interest, right? Besides, your family still owes me five taels or four dollars of silver, and I don't want to pay off the debt, but I want to open meat and eat fish, this is too much to say, right?"

Yang Mingde walked over, took the string of fish from Yang Xianmao's hand, handed it to the money shopkeeper and said, "Okay, calculate the profit paid to you." ”

"That's pretty much it!" said the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, picking up the string of fish and looking at it, "This fish is very fat." There's a snack tonight!" swaggered away with the string of fish and a bag of silver.

Yang Mingde sighed and sat down on the stool.

Zhang hurriedly wrapped Yang Xianmao's clothes and brought them to the house, then poured him a bowl of hot tea and brought it over, and said pityingly: "My son, drink a bowl of hot tea to warm up, look at you are so cold." ”

Yang Xianmao walked all the way back to the city from the snow by the river, and the cold wind on the road was indeed cold enough. At this moment, he was holding a hot tea bowl in both hands, and his hands quickly warmed up, and I don't know if it was because of the warmth of the tea or the love of his mother.

Holding the tea bowl, he looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar pharmacy, and saw that the pharmacy had not changed in the past ten years, and the furnishings were the same as before. In the middle of the room, there is a long row of medicine cabinets, exuding the intoxicating smell of medicine, and on the high counter are placed the scales of medicinal rice and the kraft paper for medicinal purposes. On both sides of the lobby, on one side is the parents' bedroom suite, and on the other side is the medicine warehouse, the door is open, you can see that most of the inside is empty, and there is not much medicine. Outside, in a room facing the street, was his former bedroom. Behind the corner door of the lobby is the kitchen and herb processing room, where there is a back door leading to the back alley.

He walked around the room with the bowl in hand, and the layout of the room was basically the same as he remembered it when he was a child.

After he had finished reading it in all directions, Yang Mingde beckoned him to come and sit down, and asked him about the capital, especially the emperor's surrender. After listening, Yang Mingde sighed for a long time the pain of losing the country.

Zhang persuaded him: "Isn't it the same for whoever becomes the emperor? I have also heard that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is very good, and if he submits to the Great Song Dynasty, maybe our life will be better." ”

Yang Mingde sighed: "Now that is the case, I can only hope for this." ”

As soon as he said this, a cold wind blew in from outside the lobby, and Yang Mingde couldn't help but shiver. Yang Xianmao noticed that the robe his father was wearing didn't seem to be a silk jacket, and reached out to touch it, only to find that it was just an ordinary jacket, which was not lined with silk cotton in the middle, only two layers of thick linen cloth inside and outside, so it was not warm.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be stunned, because he remembered that when he was a child, his family wore jackets with silk cotton in the middle. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there was no cotton, and the warmth of clothes and quilts in winter mainly relied on silk cotton, and the price was relatively expensive, so only people above the well-off could afford it. He remembers that each of them had one each. Although it is only the thinnest kind of silk cotton in the lining, it is also made of silk cotton, and the warmth is much better than that of the general one. Seeing the envious eyes of other children, he was very proud at that time. Unexpectedly, ten years later, my father could only wear an unlined jacket.

Ignoring the reason, he quickly turned around and entered his room, opened his bag, took out a silk robe from it, handed it to his father, and said, "Dad, quickly put on this, this is what I brought out from the palace, and it is silk cotton, keep warm." ”

Yang Mingde showed a pleased smile on his face and said, "Give your mother to wear, she is weak." ”

"Also, there are three of them. Yang Xianmao was glad that he had left the Tai Hospital and found these three silk cotton clothes, which came in handy at this moment.

As he spoke, Yang Xianmao put the silk robe in his father's arms, and went back to the room to get one out. It's a pity that the hospital is all men, and there are no women's skirts, so all of them are men's silk cotton jacket robes.

Yang Xianmao took another silk cotton robe, gave it to her mother and said, "Mother, you put on it to keep out the cold first, and then change it into a mattress skirt at night." ”

Yang Mingde and his wife glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of relief. The child has grown up and is sensible, and he has the ability to bring back silk cotton clothes in the cold winter, which is really a charcoal in the snow.

Yang Mingde returned to the room and changed the silk robe. But Zhang didn't change it, only said that he would wear it after changing it at night. It is also true that it is inappropriate for a woman to wear a man's robe, Zhang's pays more attention to image, and would rather be cold, anyway, it has come over all these years.

Yang Xianmao didn't insist on her mother to change it immediately, and asked her father Yang Mingde curiously: "I remember that everyone in our family used to have a silk cotton dress, why is it gone?"

Yang Mingde looked a little embarrassed, stroked his beard and said casually: "If it's broken, throw it away." ”

Yang Xianmao guessed that this was just an excuse, because silk cotton clothes could not be worn unless they were deliberately destroyed, and there must be a reason for it, so he turned his face to look at his mother Zhang.

Zhang sighed, and finally told the truth: "I owe rent last year, so I used it to pay the rent." ”

Yang Mingde frowned, a little unhappy, and said to Zhang: "The child just came back, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I have a quick mouth, - I think that when the child is older, I should let him know." ”

"Can't you talk about it later? Do you want to say it today?"

Yang Xianmao saw that her mother was both sad and embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mother is right, I am almost seventeen years old, I should know these things......"

As soon as he said this, a middle-aged couple came in outside the pharmacy. The woman was swollen all over, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she staggered as she walked in, supported by her husband.

Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help sit down on the bench.

The middle-aged man said: "Yang Langzhong, I took your medicine from my family, and the edema is not good, you can take a look at it again." ”

It turned out that the woman was suffering from severe edema, but after Yang Mingde's treatment, there was no effect, and now she is coming for a follow-up visit.

Yang Mingde took her wrist to check the pulse, looked at her tongue again, stroked her beard, and said after a while: "Your whole body is swollen, that is a problem with the kidneys, the kidney is the main water, Tongli tonifies the kidney is right, the prescription I prescribed is specifically for the treatment of edema, it is impossible to have no effect, if you insist on taking it, it will always take effect." ”

"I've been eating it for a month, and it doesn't work, and I still have to eat it, how long will it take to eat?" the woman yelled angrily.

The middle-aged man said beside him: "Yes, I also know a little bit of medicine, I know the main water of the kidney, and in the past three years, I have found all the prescriptions prescribed by Lang Zhong to tonify the kidney." I also thought it was right, so I gave it to her, but it didn't work. What can I do? If this continues, people will die. ”

Yang Xianmao, who was holding a tea bowl and drinking tea on the side, couldn't help but think in his heart when he heard this, long-term edema, the use of Tongli tonic medicine has no effect, it should not be a kidney problem, there are many causes of edema, not necessarily kidneys. For example, it may also be because of the liver, liver stagnation and qi stagnation can also lead to edema, I have seen similar cases in Tai Hospital, and the prescription for soothing the liver and relieving depression is immediately effective. Could the edema of the patient in front of him be the same?

So he came over with a tea bowl in his hand and said to his father, "Father, why don't you let me come and see?"

Yang Mingde was stunned for a moment, thinking that the child had been a scholar in Tai Hospital for ten years, and Tai Hospital was a place where famous doctors in the world gathered, so he might have learned some skills, so he nodded and got up and got out of the way.

Yang Xianmao sat down on the chair, checked the woman's pulse and looked at her tongue, lifted her trouser tube, reached out and pressed her calf, pressed a socket, and the edema was very serious. So he asked, "Before you came to menstruation, was the edema worse than usual?"

The woman was a little embarrassed when she saw the young man asking about her menstruation. But hearing what he said so accurately, he was a little puzzled, and looked at Yang Mingde standing next to him in surprise: "Who is he?"

"It's my son who came back from his studies at the Beijing Tai Hospital. Yang Mingde specially added the latter sentence, because he knew that the child was too young and not easy to gain the trust of the patient.

Sure enough, the woman's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and she nodded and said, "It's worthy of coming from the Tai Hospital, and it's accurate to say it! That's right, my edema will get worse every month." ”
