Chapter 24: Jade Grass Hall
The streets and alleys of Kyoto are lively and bustling, in addition to the important restaurant dart bureau, the hotel inn is this pharmacy, this Kyoto large and small pharmacy, there are hundreds, but among them, the only one that stands out is the jade grass hall under the door of the medical fairy Lin Shangde.
The Lin family has practiced medicine for generations, and in addition to orthodox medical skills, there are also many partial methods that have been passed down from generation to generation. For this reason, dignitaries and nobles encounter those diseases that cannot be cured, and when they arrive at Lin Shangde's door, it is a piece of cake, and nine times out of ten they are properly handled. But the real name to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes is to detoxify His Majesty today, it is said that His Majesty was delirious and skinny after being poisoned by the poison of bewitchment. Thanks to the Lin family's unique secret recipe, they escaped. Since then, the Lin Shangde family has changed from an ordinary medical hall to a Xuanmen who knows the Mandate of Heaven and the method of detoxification and poison production.
The creation of this Xuanmen, Lin Shangde as the son of nine generations of single transmission of natural light ancestors, thanks to the fact that he married the elf master, it is said that the elf family self-destructed vitality to save the life of the old emperor, at the beginning of a medical practice, can be matched with the elf clan master, it is also a good story, after this battle, Mrs. Lin is frail and sick all the year round, no outsiders, but Lin Shangde has since soared, three wives and four concubines, once had a high merit to cover the master, and later lurked in the south of Caiyun as a hegemon.
Lin Xi entered a teahouse, the storytellers on the stage were talking with relish, and the things in the Yucatang opposite were in the past, and the people listening to the books in the audience listened to it happily, applauded and beamed. She was the only one who ordered a bowl of beef noodles in the corner of the audience, and she didn't know the taste of the food, frowning.
However, this gave her some additional thoughts, in the city of Kyoto, she didn't have nowhere to go, "Yes, I can go to the Lin family's jade grass hall," she looked at the men's clothes reflected in the tea, and was very satisfied, "Well, that's it." ”
She went to the headquarters of the largest Jade Grass Hall in Kyoto City, full of style, located at the foot of the imperial city and the surrounding crowds, this location was carefully selected, I heard that it can shelter the royal family from the invasion of demons, and at the same time reach the world, it is a place full of aura. The front is the main road of the imperial city, and the back is close to the mountain and water, the mountain is not big, but this geology is suitable for the growth of various scorpion venom things, and it is convenient to take herbs.
The housekeeper is He Shu, he has seen it, he is a young talent who seems to be loyal and honest, in fact, hehe, Lin Xi thought, if sycophants are also a kung fu, then He Shu must be a superior skill.
There are three medical halls under this book, one on the left and the right wing, and one in the main building. The main building is to help people diagnose the pulse, and the doctor inside has his own cubicle, according to his seniority, the bigger the status, the bigger the cubicle.
The right wing is the herbal medicine hall, there is always a crisp smell of herbs spreading and wafting inside, this kind of smell Lin Xi has been very fond of since he was a child, and he has also practiced smelling the smell to identify the dosage and variety of herbs before, among the heirs of Lin Mansion, she took the first.
The left wing is mysterious, that is, a bit like the charlatans in the rivers and lakes, who help people look at the palms and divination, and often ask about the future and marriage, and there are also red and white things to ask for a lottery. The extension of this department really makes the Lin Mansion a veritable Xuanmen.
"Hello, I heard you're recruiting apprentices?" she said to an uncle at the reception, who looked quite down-to-earth, and he glanced at Lin Xi. "Young man, it's an apprentice, what will you order?"
Lin Xi wanted to say, "Lao Tzu can identify hundreds of herbs at the age of three, and can give medicine to people at the age of ten, but now, he is going to be an apprentice." Gasping, she resignedly said, "I'm diligent, willing to endure hardships, begging for a place to stay, three meals." The uncle looked at the young man, his face was delicate, and he was sincere, "Then can you know this herb?"
"Yes, the regular ones know, I used to live in the mountains, and I still know something. She said tactfully and modestly. At this time, He Shu happened to walk by, and when he saw this handsome young man, he stared at it, feeling that he had seen it somewhere, and the uncle hurriedly told He Shu, "Lord He, this young man wants to come as an apprentice." “
He Shu walked in front of Lin Xi in one step, in the past, every year on his father's birthday, this sycophant was the first to come to congratulate, and he would give all kinds of gifts that the lady and young master liked, and the ones he bought for himself every year were pearl hairpins, she always scoffed, I have blue pearl hairpins because they are magic weapons and weapons, and I don't really like pearl hairpins.
"Hello, Lord Ho. Seeing He Shubi looking at himself intently, Lin Xi felt that he was about to be exposed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Can you give me a chance to try?"
"What do you like to learn?" he withdrew the look that spilled on Lin Xi, "There are three halls here, and the main attack is different. ”
"As long as you can take care of food and shelter, you can go wherever you see if there is a shortage of people. Lin Xi learned to see the trend of inflammation from He Shu before, and said cautiously.
"I heard you used to live in the mountains. "He's a clairball," then you go to take care of the herbs first, and help go to the mountains to collect the herbs." ”
"Okay, thank you, sir!" Lin Xi muttered in his heart, isn't this the hardest errand, and his mouth is still full of joy.
In the days that followed, Lin Xi lived in the basement of the medical hall, there were more than a dozen apprentices here, all of whom were novices who helped here, except for Lin Xi, everyone else was engaged in working in the main hall, that is, following the doctor to learn to diagnose and dispense medicines, but she was the only one who was from the left-wing pharmacy.
"I heard that there are mythical beasts on the back mountain. "There was an apprentice who didn't fall asleep and got up chatting elegantly.
"I said Brother Lin, why are you so brave, aren't you afraid of this?" another scolded.
Lin Xi thought that you stinky men didn't sleep, and they still bothered me and didn't let me sleep, "I'm not as good as my brothers, I know the common sense of medical pharmacology, and it's rare for a wild child from the countryside like me to have a meal to eat and learn in Kyoto." Lin Xi talked about the "miserable" life experience, very proud, she said that her father died early, her mother is still alive, completely contrary to the reality, thinking that Lin Shangde can be said to be "dead", she still has a little joy in her heart, this ungrateful father, a bad person with three wives and four concubines. She muttered.
The next day, Lin Xi was going up the mountain to collect medicine. Someone should have taken her to familiarize herself with the route, but the old men in the herbal medicine department pushed one by one, and in the end, Master He came, "Xiaolin, I'll take you to the mountain to collect medicine." ”
A group of old men stared at each other with big eyes, wondering when Master He had become so diligent.
Just like that, day after day, Lin Xi will go up the mountain every few days, she likes this alone time very much, and feels that being with herbs is the most intimate partner, occasionally He Shu will be with him, he is different from the sycophants he has seen in the past, he will always talk to Lin Xi about the use, appearance and efficacy of each herb, more like a teacher.
In addition to going to the mountains to collect medicines, Lin Xi also began to work at the counter of the pharmacy, responsible for grabbing and delivering medicines, in the past six months, she had to send some herbs to Jinxiu Buzhuang every day, those medicines to ward off the cold, for conditioning the body, she always wondered, this person can't finish eating? How to make up for it from winter to summer.
