12. The Princess's Illness

In the lively street market, two voices of disappointment came out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"If only I had been cautious and made sure that they really lived in this shop, and the ducks flew like this, alas!"

"Looks like our luck is not good today!" sighed as the two men came out of an inn. The owner of the shop heard that he was looking for two beautiful girls, and shook his head repeatedly: the two girls thought that the conditions of the store were too poor, so they just went in to take a look, and after coming out, they left, and they didn't know where they went.

Qin Longxiu was annoyed: "But this city is so big, let's walk along the street, if she is really a princess, maybe she will accidentally bump into us again in a while, and I don't know!"

Shaded Sun nodded: "That's all!" While the two were walking, they waved the flag in their hands along the street and shouted, "Sell medicine, see a doctor, and get rid of the disease as soon as the good medicine arrives." Specializing in the treatment of all kinds of diseases, specializing in all kinds of herbs, the price is affordable, welcome to consult and see ......"

Naqin Longxiu also continued: "I sold the book, I created it myself, there are lessons from my own personal experience, all kinds of people are sophisticated, I can make you take fewer detours, and it can help you solve countless puzzles in life, and let you solve a thousand sorrows with a smile......"

After waiting for him to finish, he asked for a moment, "By the way, haven't you finished this book?"

"You can sell it if you write half of it, as long as you have the full story. "You know it's a bit difficult to sell paintings and paint paintings, but for books, maybe it's more appealing." After all, others can see the author of this book with their own eyes, at least for this, it will make him feel a little curious, and he will be closer to these laid-back people. As for painting, it is just a matter of adding some leisure and elegance. ”

Shade Sun smiled: "The witch you wrote, what happened to the story later?"

Qin Longxiu smiled bitterly: "The story is a bit complicated, and it is still unknown. In the next book, there may be updated developments. As for the book in front of me, although it is finished, there are still some areas that need to be improved. But I didn't have that much time to change, so I had to change it while selling. ”

The two walked through the market, looked up and around for a while, and then looked up at the people who came and wentβ€”there was no end in sight. Shade pointed to the lively area and said, "I think we should set up a stall here to rest and try our luck again." ”

Na Xiucai was already a little powerless because he was carrying a bookcase, so he hit it off immediately. As soon as the two of them sat down, someone immediately came to ask him to buy a book. Before the ass was hot, he sold two copies at once, and the mood of the previous fall has finally improved a little.

"By the way, how do you know that the princess has a mole on her brow? Have you ever seen the princess?"

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Not only have I seen it, but for this princess, I almost didn't suffer a lot!"

"Oh?" said that Qin Longxiu was interested for a while, "Why did this princess have something to do with you?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with the princess. If you want to talk about it, I, who is a doctor, can only be related to illness. ”

Qin Longxiu was suspicious: "Could it be that you have also seen the princess?"

Covering the sun sighed, it seemed that he was a little embarrassed to look back on the past: "Just half a year ago, the emperor posted an imperial list outside the palace in the capital, and offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver for the princess to treat her illness......"

Qin Longxiu exclaimed: "10,000 taels of silver? There are countless imperial doctors in the palace, all of whom are the best doctors today, can't they be cured?

"That's right? I was also strange at the time. I've always been very confident in my medical skills, unlike those charlatans. So far, there are few diseases that can hardly affect me. So at that time, I was even thinking that when I got the 10,000 taels of silver, I could be a traveling doctor as you said, with the capital to be a traveling doctor at will, free and unfettered. When you're happy, you can see a doctor if you want to. When you're not happy, you can just rest and not watch. But for these ten thousand taels of silver, I almost didn't throw my life into it!" he said with a slight palpitation.

"What's going on? Could it be that this princess really has some incurable disease?"

"That's what I thought, too. At that time, when I was in that palatial palace, I was taking the pulse of the princess through the veil, and her veins were not very abnormal. Just in case, I'll carefully divide her vein. After repeating it several times, she was finally diagnosed with her disease. ”

Qin Longxiu opened his mouth and said, "Presumably, this disease is a little difficult to treat!"

Sha Sun shook his head and said: "The pulse seems to be very normal, where is the evidence of difficulty? As soon as I touched her pulse, I knew that it was just a little hot poison attacking the blood, causing discomfort on the surface of the body." At most, it's just some skin diseases, just some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, and reconciling her internal organs can get rid of the disease. ”

Qin Longxiu said: "That's not easy, isn't it easy to treat this princess?"

"I was relieved. After confirming the princess's illness, the princess also deliberately lifted the veil tent. Although I have treated countless patients and have been prepared for a long time, I can't help but be surprised when I look at it. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The princess's appearance is ruined, not only is her whole body swollen, but even her face is swollen!"

"Isn't that ugly?"

"If your head and face are swollen like a pig's head, do you think it's good-looking?"

"yes. Qin Longxiu chattered, and at this time she was a little sympathetic, "Such a beautiful princess, she must be very sad for such an ugly disease!"

"Sad?" said the sun with a wry smile, "I really didn't see it at the time!"

"What? she didn't react?" Qin Yongxiu wondered, "If I have such a disease, then I must not jump into the river?"

"The problem is that the princess's reaction feels strange. She's not heartbroken, but she's unpredictable. "As soon as I saw her shape, I was even more sure of her condition. At that time, I didn't think much about it, and I didn't dare to delay, so I picked up three packets of medicine and let her decoction take it. ”

Qin Longxiu asked, "With your skillful hands, she should immediately rejuvenate after taking the medicine, right?"

Covering the sun said unhurriedly: "At that time, it was the doctor that the queen asked for a reward." It can be seen that she loves this princess very much. When I was treated, she also asked me about the princess's condition herself, and I told the truth. also reminded the queen that she should pay attention to the princess's diet to avoid foreign poisons from invading her body again. After taking the medicine under the supervision of the queen, the princess's condition improved significantly, most of the swelling of her body subsided, and her face looked more and more beautiful and bright. ”

Qin Longxiu smiled: "Presumably at this time, you noticed the beautiful mole on her face!"

But he couldn't laugh: "If you are cured, of course everything will be fine." Three days after taking the medicine, when I checked the princess's hand again and confirmed that there was no more problem, I was dreaming of the 10,000 taels of silver that night!"

Qin Longxiu frowned and said, "Look at you like this, something must have happened in the back!"

"On the third day, when I was waiting for the queen's reward, I didn't wait for the silver, but I was waiting for the news that the princess's condition had relapsed!"

Qin Longxiu hurriedly said: "What is the situation? Could it be that you have misdiagnosed?"

"My first reaction at the time was the same as you, thinking that this is not good, don't make a mess in this palace, then you won't be able to eat and go around!"

Qin Longxiu said: "If it is misdiagnosed, there is still room for salvation, wouldn't it be good if we re-diagnose her?

He smiled bitterly: "If it is really a misdiagnosis, it is okay to diagnose and treat it again, and before I can react, I almost suffered a lot!"

Qin Longxiu was puzzled and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Shade Sun smiled bitterly: "That princess looks beautiful and beautiful, which makes people feel pity." I didn't expect that after the relapse of the disease, my heart was so ruthless, and in a fit of rage, I couldn't say anything, so I ordered to be pulled out to serve on the big board!"

Qin Longxiu was almost stunned: "I didn't expect you to treat a princess, and you still suffered a board?"

He glanced at him: "Do you think it's so easy to see a doctor? Heal a person! As soon as there is a mistake, the right and wrong of the tongue cannot be distinguished, and the sky is overwhelming." So now when I see a doctor, I always say a bad thing in advance, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble. All I can say is that I will try my best to help you heal, but no one dares to take that package ticket-"

Qin Longxiu said with deep sympathy: "Yes, now the personnel is complicated, and there are people and everything. Didn't we just run into those three shrews in a terrible wayβ€”well, let's get down to business, you just said you got the princess's big board!"

Covering the sun and crying: "You like to watch me beat by the princess so much?"

Qin Longxiu smiled: "Actually, what I want to know more is, did your ass be opened by the princess!"

He also smiled: "I thought this was the end, and I met an unreasonable master." If you are scolded by the princess, you will be dragged out......"

Qin Longxiu said: "Wait a minute, you were scolded by the princess, I want to know how this princess was scolded?"

Blind Sun said angrily: "Are you so interested in this princess's scolding?"

Qin Longxiu said repeatedly: "No, no, no, I haven't been cheap to that point! I just want to know how she scolded you." You know I'm a book writer, so I'm a little curious about these new things that I haven't experienced to gain some experience. ”

"Oh, I see! He coughed, took a pose, and pretended to learn, "I can't even cure this little disease, and I dare to expose the emperor's list! If I don't give you some color, you may not know the majesty of the laws of this palace! Come on! Drag him out and beat him fifty times!"

Qin Longxiu listened to this, pondered it carefully, and said: "She is also right! Chrysostom Yuyan is right in every word! Since she has caught the handle, what do we have to complain about?"

"You also want to see me on the board, but I have my own nature. Ignoring him, he said, "Seeing that I was dragged out of the palace by several samurai and pressed to the bench, and when the samurai lifted the board and was about to go down, my helpers came!"

Qin Longxiu was surprised: "Isn't it? In the palace hall, someone will break into the Dharma field to save you?"

"Could there be such an outrageous thing happening in that palace?" said the sun, glaring at him, "It's the queen's ban!

"And then?"

"And then for the first time in my life I was threatened by a woman, the princess. ”

Qin Longxiu smiled: "How did she threaten you?"

"While I was trembling and taking the pulse of the princess, I heard her low warning voice in the gauze tent......"

Qin Longxiu laughed again: "A woman threatens you in bed, this kind of thing is estimated to not happen to others. ”

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The princess lowered her voice and said in my ear: My illness has come and gone, and you can't cure it." Even the imperial doctor can't cure it, and no doctor can cure it well. If you can't be cured this time, you won't be as simple as being hit by the board, while your head is still there, it's better to think about where you came from, and where you go back!"

Qin Longxiu said: "I'll go, is this how this princess treats the doctor who saved her?"

Shade Sun smiled bitterly: "You know that you can't be distracted by the pulse, after being threatened by her life, I can actually recognize her illness." ”

Qin Longxiu: "What kind of disease does she have, is she mentally ill?"

Sha Sun shook his head: "Since she has issued an eviction order, if I am obsessed, isn't it asking for hardship? When the queen heard the princess's coquettishness, of course she became angry: How can you say that the disease is easy, why can't it be cured? The queen can't think of it, I can't pass it, I still have to walk around without eating. After thinking about it, I simply let it go!"

Qin Longxiu said: "Just don't do it and keep fighting, and you're going to come out?"

"I did have that impulse at the time, but when I saw the Imperial City guards standing next to me, my feet went limp. This can't be done, so I thought I had to outwit it!"

Qin Longxiu said: "What did you think of later?"

"I thought," he said, "I have to tie the bell to the bell, and I have to start from the source: the princess's illness is very simple, and the effect of the medicine is obvious, but why can't it be cured? I didn't understand this until later. ”

Covering the sun paused, and sighed: "I put all my doubts together, coerced and enticed, and only then did I learn the whole story from the queen's mouth - it turns out that this princess's abnormality is not because of anything else, but only because of her relatives. ”

Qin Longxiu said with a smile: "Family? Presumably this princess has already had a good relationship, and she doesn't want to marry him!"

Shade sighed, "I don't know. All I know is that in order to form a friendly state with Allah in the Western Regions, our country wants to marry her, who is a princess of a country, to the prince of Allah. And the princess was very resistant to this marriage, and was always troubled and unhappy. Since then, her body has changed, and she has been capricious, and countless medical treatments have not changed. ”

"Oh! I see. Qin Longxiu nodded, "It's no wonder that she, marrying someone I've never met, and I don't know his temper, it's really a bit unimaginable." ”

"I listened, and I understood it at that time, and I couldn't take care of it much at that time, thinking that it was important to save my life first......"

Qin Longxiu said: "Wait a minute, what you say, why don't I understand it: how can this princess's family affairs be related to this illness!"

He was just about to answer when he heard a voice interrupt him: "Did you write this book yourself?"

Naqin Longxiu was engrossed in talking, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly sent him away: "Yes, do you want to buy it?"

The man asked the price, but without saying much, he picked up the book and flipped through it. Qin Longxiu didn't care about him, let him look at it there, but Cui He continued.

"There is no one who does not take care of his body, and what this princess has is nothing more than a skin disease. I guess she must know what foods or drugs she has contraindications, and she will experience swelling symptoms after contact, so as to deliberately practice herself and achieve the ultimate goal of resisting marriage. ”

Qin Longxiu suddenly realized: "So that's the case!"

Covering the sun: "This is a symptom, but also a root cause." I guessed how clever the queen was, and how could she not understand, and so at last I was able to get out of it. ”

Qin Longxiu sighed: "It seems that it is indeed not easy to treat a big man." ”

"Fortunately, in the end, the danger was saved." As for this queen, when she was happy, she saw that my medical skills could still be convincing, so she wanted to keep me in the palace and find a medical officer. I was also happy to hear this, but when I thought about it carefully, how can we mortals afford to serve people like the princess? Later, I heard that those imperial doctors, and some of them were either withdrawn or beaten to death, and when I thought about it, I felt afraid, where would I dare to admit it! So I also excused myself in every possible way, took the discounted money and ran away. ”

Qin Longxiu said: "That's it, the world is so big, the streets are full of money, see how you pick it up? Do you have to drown in that corner for the rest of your life? By the way, why did you just say that the money was discounted?"

Covering the sun: "The queen said that such a slight illness, I am worth 500 taels at most, I almost fainted after hearing it!"

Qin Longxiu shook his head and smiled: "It seems that the golden mouth is sometimes not credible, but it is really good to pick up money on this street." ”

At this moment, the man who had been reading suddenly raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Is there any money on this street?"

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"I see that this princess came out this time, and I guess it's because of that. It's just that I didn't expect it to make such a big commotion. ”

"Let's keep an eye on it, I hope we don't miss ......"

-- The faint sound of music was heard. Approaching.

The sound of gongs, drums, flutes, and firecrackers sounded in this direction, accompanied by the sound of crying. The paper was flying all over the sky, but it was a mourning team.

When the reader saw that, he threw the book away and walked away.

Qin Longxiu couldn't help it for a while: "Alas, I didn't make any money, I was busy in vain, and I encountered this unfortunate thing." ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, this is not a big deal. This man has ascended to bliss early, and we should mourn in silence for him. ”

Qin Long Xiujian said, reluctantly: "That's what I said, you see that I'm vulgar, isn't it just that one person dies? How many people won't die one day? Just now we talked about the money on the street, in fact, isn't this also an opportunity to make money?"

He was stunned and said: "This is not a happy event to send red envelopes, where does the money come from?"

Qin Longxiu said: "Do you know, this mourner, in order to seek good fortune and avoid evil, the host will generally throw some money on the road to give to the lonely souls and wild ghosts who block the way out of the funeral, so that they will not be unfavorable to the mourners." Of course, these are all superstitious statements. ”

He sighed and said, "It turns out that there is still this saying." Whether it's or not, of course we don't care, we just have to take the money. ”

Qin Longxiu said: "Look, these people have stopped here, and it is estimated that they will do things here, and our business is in front of us, and it is estimated that there will be no fun." Looking at their scale, they may also be a large family, and the money will definitely not be less, so it is better to wait for a while to catch it. ”

Covering the sun: "That's right, so what are we waiting for?" The two of them packed up their belongings, put them on their backs, and stood in the outer crowd and stretched out over there.

I saw the mourners sitting neatly in the middle of the road, in front of the wooden coffin.

Two Taoist priests, taking a piece of paper, stood in front of everyone, and recited a large number of scriptures in the solemnity of everyone.

"You wrote an article, do you know what he was talking about?"

Qin Longxiu said: "The general meaning is that it is to overkill the dead." Tell the story of this person's life, a life is hard, it is not easy, and he died and went to heaven. ”

This Taoist priest is also professional enough, and I don't know if it's because he reads the long scripture too slowly, or if the article is already long, and he reads it almost endlessly.

The kneeling man couldn't bear it anymore. Some people blamed the Taoist priest for being too long and kneeling too tired. Some people even said, "Can you sit?" And you're so fat that you can kneel? Some people are just half-squatting. As a result, everyone laughed. Some people squatted straight, some people sat half-sitting, and as soon as the Taoist priest finished reading a text, he was busy kneeling up and kowtowing a few times.

The Taoist priest also worked hard, reciting that big article, and he didn't feel thirsty, mixing the gongs, bells, and flutes, and whimpering. That scene was originally a solemn and sad scene, but in those smiling mourning processions, it turned into a laughing scene for a while.

Qin Longxiu looked at it and said: "I don't know how long he is going to read, looking at these hungry ghosts around him who are reincarnated, it seems that he can't wait." ”

Sunshade: "Why don't we?"

While the two were talking, they stopped listening to the chatter. Then the Taoist priest pointed to the master's house and shouted, and the man with filial piety instructed two people to carry a large bucket and walked out.

Seeing this, Qin Longxiu excitedly shouted: "Start throwing money, let's prepare!"

Then I heard the Taoist priest shouting, "Disperse!" and for a moment I heard a faint commotion.

Then, of course, everyone roared and rushed over like a tide.

In fact, this is a very important part of the funeral process here: robbing money! The more money you grab, the more effective it will be.

Na Sha Ri and Qin Longxiu had no scruples at this time, and the two hungry tigers jumped into the pile of people who were scrambling.

The two of them laughed, one on the left and one on the right, and frantically stuffed the copper coins all over the ground into their arms.

The crowd is too, you fight for me, and the scene is extremely chaotic for a while. If it weren't for the funeral behind and the orderly city, it would be doubtful if this was a barbaric age.

-- Eventually, the venue calmed down.

The robbers also dispersed at this time.

The two of them walked to the side with a laugh, and the copper coins in their arms were so full that they fell straight down, and a lot of them could be found in the crotch of Qin Longxiu's pants.

The two of them were happily counting the money, when they saw that the coffin had been lifted on the street.

As he watched the mourners walk along, he was silent for a moment.

- This man is gone, and so many people are sending him away. That scene really made people can't help but feel sad, and they couldn't help but cry when they thought about it.

Naqin Longxiu looked at the sun, and was feeling strange, and then turned his head to look at this scene, he seemed to be aware of it and was silent for a while.
