Chapter 146: No More Than This
Yang Xianmao's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, if this was the case, then the Rejuvenation Hall saw some improvements, but I was afraid that it would fall into a desperate situation again. Thinking about it, it is true, the prefect has made such a determination in front of everyone, and the news will soon spread throughout the city, and who would dare to go against the prefect and come to their house to see a doctor? Xuanzhou City is not without Langzhong. Even those critically ill patients who do need surgery to treat them would rather not come to seek treatment than cause trouble after considering the prefect's words. In troubled times, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, all those who showed signs of rebellion were severely punished, and they would rather kill their mistakes than let them go.
Hearing these words, Yang Mingde was even more afraid, and with the support of Yang Xianmao, he finally stepped out of the threshold.
Hongsheng'er, who had been guarding across the road, saw it, and hurriedly ran over to help Yang Xianmao support, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"The master is not feeling well, you hurry up and call a carriage, and we will go back quickly. ”
There are several carriages and other businesses near the hotel, so Hong Xiang'er hurriedly called one over, helped Yang Mingde and Yang Xianmao to get into the carriage, and then Hongsheng'er sat next to the handlebar, and the carriage galloped all the way back to the Rejuvenation Hall.
At this moment, it was already dark, the door of the pharmacy had been closed, and Zhang and Wen Xin were sitting under the lamp of the pharmacy waiting for Yang Xianmao and them to come back. Wen Xin was holding a book and reading under the lamp in the living room, Zhang's was working as a female worker.
Hongsheng'er knocked on the door, Zhang quickly opened the corner door to let them in, Zhang saw Yang Mingde's face pale, his whole body trembled, his eyes were straight, he couldn't help but be startled, and asked Yang Xianmao, "What's wrong with your father?"
"Dad was a little unwell, so we came back first, quick, and sent Dad to the house first. ”
Helping Yang Mingde into the master bedroom, lying on the bed, Zhang said to Yang Xianmao in a panic: "What is your father's illness? ”
Yang Xianmao knew that his father was frightened, as long as he slowly calmed down, he said, "It's okay, just drink some hot tea." ”
The hot tea was brought quickly, and Yang Mingde drank half a bowl of tea, and then gradually calmed down. grabbed Yang Xianmao's hand, pulled him over, and said with a sad face: "You can't disembowel people in the future, don't you hear? Otherwise, our Yang family will be destroyed by you, do you know?"
Yang Xianmao was stunned and didn't speak, and the Zhang family next to him was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly asked what was going on?
Yang Mingde's voice trembled and said: "The prefect said that Xianmao is disemboweling people, and he is using charlatan tricks to gather believers in case of rebellion in the future, -- how can we afford such a big crime!"
As soon as these words came out, several people in the room were stunned.
Wen Xin said: "Healing is curing, how can it be connected with pretending to be a god and playing ghosts? ”
Zhang's face was also pale with fright, and he hurriedly took Yang Xianmao's other hand and said: "Since this is the case, you must listen to your father, and you can't disembowel people for treatment in the future, otherwise you will ......."
Yang Xianmao said: "What if you really want to meet someone who needs to be disemboweled? You can't just watch him die, right?"
"If you don't watch him die, others will watch us die!" Yang Mingde pointed at Yang Xianmao and said sadly, "If you are my son, you must listen to me in the future, and you are not allowed to disembowel people for treatment, do you hear?"
Yang Xianmao couldn't understand why things had become like this, and he thought that he could gradually become famous in the world with this miraculous medical skill and make money, but now he is inviting a disaster, and if he doesn't get it, he will be framed for using pretending to be a god to gather believers to rebel. What went wrong?
If he knew that it all started with the small number of congratulatory gifts given by their family, he would have been afraid that he would be embarrassed.
At that time, Hu Tongju sent someone to inform them that they would invite them to the welcome banquet, and they needed to give gifts to the prefect, and the amount was decided by themselves, when Yang Xianmao happened to go out to dissect this matter, Yang Mingde decided to send four taels of silver, in his opinion, four taels of silver was already a lot, he had never been so generous, but he did not expect that it was precisely because the money sent was not enough, but it caused trouble.
Zhang cried and helped Yang Mingde persuade Yang Xianmao to listen to his father's words, and don't get into trouble again, even if he doesn't rely on this medical skill, he can support his family.
Yang Xianmao saw that his father was in a hurry like this, and he really couldn't bear to stimulate him anymore, but if he wanted him to nod and promise not to disembowel people in the future, this was too much for him to accept. So far, he had to slow down for a while, so he just nodded and didn't speak.
Seeing that Yang Xianmao nodded and agreed, Yang Mingde and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Yang Xianmao's depressed expression, after Yang Mingde gradually calmed down, he felt a little wronged, so Yang Mingde slowed down his tone and said to Yang Xianmao: "Dad knows that you are by no means pretending to be a ghost, you are a real medical skill, and you have also done such an operation, how can it be a trick to deceive people! But as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, the prefect has said so, if we don't listen, he wants to rectify us, it will be like crushing a bedbug to death." Now that Wu Yueguo has just returned to the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court is openly and secretly investigating which people are secretly loyal to Wu Yueguo, and they do not really want to return to the Great Song Dynasty. If it is determined that we are unwilling to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty because of this incident, then we will be in trouble, so my father knows that you are wronged, but for the sake of this family, you can only endure it. Got it?"
This time, Yang Xianmao nodded solemnly and said, "I know, the people don't fight with the officials." ”
"That's right, all right, you all go back to your room and rest. ”
Yang Xianmao and the others came out, went to the lobby, glanced at each other, and saw the helplessness and frustration on each other's faces.
Yang Xianmao returned to the house and collapsed directly on the bed.
Hongsheng'er called hot water to wash him, but he didn't bother to get up, and said, "Sleep like this, don't wash." ”
Hongsheng'er persuaded him, but he didn't listen, and he had nothing to do, so he heard it coming from Wenxin's house, the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano was soft and quiet, which made people feel refreshed, and the sound of the rustling rain outside the window hit the window, with this quiet music, so that Yang Xianmao's heart regained calm. Only then did he slowly get up and began to wash under the service of the red dress.
Hongsheng'er was very emotional, she couldn't imagine that she was bitter, and she couldn't resist Wen Xin's song of Yaoqin that could calm Yang Xianmao's mood.
After washing, I untied my clothes and went to bed, listened to the sound of the piano quietly, and fell asleep leisurely.
The next day, the door of the pharmacy was opened, and there were still people who came to see the doctor to buy medicine, and some people came to Yang Xianmao to extract teeth painlessly.
Especially Yang Mingde, after being frightened last night, he was very worried. Seeing that the business was as always, he was a little relieved, and he was also thinking that the prefect might be because he had just arrived, and he lacked understanding of his son's magical medical skills, and he heard that it was disemboweling, and he always felt that it was too bloody and cruel.
When it was almost noon, Han Xue'e came, dressed in a narrow-sleeved beard suit, heroic and cool, rode a horse to the front, turned over and dismounted and entered the house.
When Yang Xianmao saw her, he subconsciously had a bad feeling, because he found that Han Xue'e seemed to have a solemn expression on her face, and he felt that it was probably related to the incident of last night.
After Han Xue'e first greeted Yang Mingde, who was treating the patient, she called Yang Xianmao into the house to whisper.
Closing the door, Han Xue'e said, "After you left last night, I went up with my father to toast the prefect, and when I went upstairs, I heard the prefect tell the people upstairs about you." I don't know why this prefect is so prejudiced against you. However, there are people who tend to be inflammatory, especially Dr. Zhang of the Prefect's Yamen Medical Bureau, the old man is particularly hateful, saying that you are disemboweled, violating the ethics of the program, and people's hair and skin cannot be damaged at will, otherwise it is unfilial piety to your parents, but you still disemboweling people every day, and it is a big unfilial piety among unfilial piety. Therefore, he said that he wanted to let the apprentices of the medical bureau spread it around, telling the people of the whole city that they should not come to your shop to see a doctor again, and they should not let you disembowel the so-called cure, otherwise it would be unfilial piety. ”
The emperor of Wu Yue attached great importance to medicine, not only let the Tai Hospital recruit outstanding apprentices from all over the country to study, but also generally set up medical education institutions similar to the Tai Hospital in various states and counties, called the Medical Institute, and set up two officials respectively for management, the person in charge is called the doctor, and the adjutant is called the assistant teacher. As the manager of the Pharmaceutical Bureau, he also serves as a teacher. In addition, it also hires well-known local teachers to teach and recruits apprentices to learn medical skills within the prefecture of Honshu. After Wu Yueguo returned to the Great Song Dynasty, the medical institute was retained.
The Yamen of the Governor of Xuanzhou City also has such a medical hospital, with a doctor, surnamed Zhang, who is a shriveled old man, with gray hair, but he is keen on his career, but he has never had a chance. There is another teaching assistant surnamed Yao, and there are hundreds of students in their medical hospital, all of whom are medical apprentices from various counties.
Yang Xianmao has also heard in the days when he came that Dr. Zhang from Quanzhou Medical Institute is very keen on his career, but he has not been promoted, and he often complains and complains, and he does not appreciate his thousands of miles. Unexpectedly, now this thousand-mile horse is going to run out and step on himself.
Yang Xianmao smiled bitterly and said: "He can actually involve disemboweling and disemboweling to cure diseases with unfilial piety, it's really thanks to him that he has such an imagination." ”
"Not really. My father said, of course, if you are sick, you must be treated, even if you disembowel your belly? Isn't Langzhong digging puscesses for people? Elderberry Langzhong can't cure his legs, isn't he sawing his legs? Is this also unfilial? Then we should arrest Lang Zhong who digs up abscesses and Lang Zhong who saw his legs all over the city. ”
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "Thank you Ling Zun for your kind words for me." ”
Han Xue'e said again: "It's not only my father who speaks well for you, but also Hu Tongju. Hu Tongju also said that it is good to treat the disease and save people as long as the disease can be cured, and it is not appropriate not to involve him with Gangchang ethics or even rebellion. He said it tactfully, but I heard that the new prefect was very unhappy and said a few words about Hu Tong's judgment, which made Hu Tongju blush, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. ”
