24. Reward
If it was when he first entered Huishan Temple, Taohua might have said a few more words to Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng is born with good looks and noble temperament, and he is not a vulgar boy when he speaks, who doesn't want to talk to such a young man?
It's a pity that after Biqiu's incident, Taohua just wants to be far from the family of Nanhua County Lord. The county lord of Nanhua has a moody temper, and he turns his face too quickly. Wen's is because she has a sick face, she has an occupational disease, and she can't watch it, Jiang Heng is not, it is better to stay away.
"Second son Jiang." Taohua made up her mind, turned around and saluted, "It's just a casual walk, and when I see this flower blooming well, I just take a second look." "
"The flowers are indeed blooming well." Jiang Heng glanced at the crape myrtle tree and didn't care. The lord of Nanhua County loves flowers, and many precious flowers and trees have been transplanted in the Jiang Mansion in the capital. Jiang Heng came over not to talk about flowers, but to have other interests.
"I was in the hall just now, thank you Miss Jiang for diagnosing my sister-in-law's happy pulse. Miss Jiang can see that she is pregnant without diagnosing her pulse, which is really a brilliant medical skill. "
No matter how good the medical skills come again, it's all the trouble caused by Biqiu. Taohua muttered secretly in her heart, and pulled out the words she had to deal with the Wen family and the county lord of Nanhua again. It's a pity that Jiang Heng didn't seem to believe it, but smiled: "When I was in the capital, there was an old lady doctor in the Tai Hospital, who said that there was no need to diagnose the pulse, and most of the patient's condition could be seen just by looking at the patient's face and body. "
"Second Prince Jiang laughed." Taohua replied expressionlessly, "Childe also said just now, that is an old lady doctor, who has been diagnosing people's pulses and seeing patients in his life, so he can practice such extraordinary skills." The folk girl is not yet thirteen this year, and since she was sensible, her family has obeyed the orders of the first emperor, only selling medicine, not diagnosing the pulse. The folk girl has never even seen a few cases of pulse, and she wants to have such skills, unless she is daydreaming. I opened my mouth rashly today, but I saw that the young lady's face was not good, and I remembered the hearts of the parents of the ancestors in the family, so I was bold and talkative. "It seems that a good person really can't be deserved, and a word has caused a lot of trouble.
Jiang Heng really didn't remember that the second room of the Jiang family had been ordered by the first emperor not to practice medicine again, he just simply remembered the imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital, so he was just curious about Taohua. Now that Taohua suddenly mentioned the order of the first emperor, he was stunned for a moment. Taohua took the opportunity to salute him again: "The folk girl served the county lord to drink tea just now, and now there are still some small things to clean up, the second son, please take care of yourself, and the folk girl will retire." "
Jiang Heng looked at her back and touched his chin: "I remember, the old lady doctor told me that his ability is actually the method of looking at the diagnosis in the four diagnoses, and he also had the guidance of the great doctor Jiang back then." The Imperial Physician Jiang he said was referring to Jiang Jieyu's grandfather in the palace now, right? The one in the second room of the Jiang family was known as the little doctor Jiang back then. This Jiang girl has such a ability, it turns out that it is a family history. He originally thought that the Jiang family's second room opened a medicine hall here because there were people in the palace, but now it seems that this may not be the case. If this Jiang girl has such a ability at the age of thirteen or fourteen, then the Jiang family's medical skills are really extraordinary.
Qingzhan felt a little hard to believe: "Childe, this is unlikely, right?" I heard that the second room of the Jiang family returned to her hometown ten years ago, at that time, this Jiang girl was three or four years old, and they never returned to the capital after that, even if the Jiang Imperial Doctor had this ability, she couldn't learn it. Besides, Miss Jiang just said that the ability to visit the doctor has been practiced for many years, how old is she, and no one has seen anyone, how can she learn it? "
"That's ......," Jiang Heng had to admit that his idea was too bizarre, "That's probably really a coincidence." Or is she so talented that she has no teacher? "
If Taohua could hear these words, she would definitely smack Jiang Heng in her heart. I think that in order to suppress all her cousins, she gave up all the time for games and play since she was six years old, and went to the pharmacy at home every weekend and holiday to watch her grandfather diagnose the patient's pulse, and tried all kinds of excuses to touch the patient's pulse. Later, her grandfather began to focus on cultivating her, and there was no time to rest. The fragrance of plum blossoms has never come from the bitter cold, how can there be anything that can be obtained easily?
However, Taohua didn't hear Jiang Heng's words, so naturally she didn't have such thoughts. She went back to the quiet room in the Zen courtyard, and after a while, she got up from the Nanhua County Lord's side, and the group left Huishan Temple and returned to Wuxi City.
With the experience of Jiang Fanghui's previous experience, Jiang Xi naturally knew that the nobles were not easy to get along with, and he came back from the medicine hall early today, and when he saw Taohua, he asked, "How is it?" What's the matter with today's incense? As he spoke, he looked Taohua up and down, and saw that his daughter was neatly dressed and did not look out of the slightest, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yanhua's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw a new jade hairpin on Taohua's head: "Sister, is this hairpin rewarded by the county lord?" "
"It's not. It was given by Mrs. Sue. Taohua replied simply, then went back to the room to change clothes under the pretext of pulling Jiang Xi to his hospital, and explained in detail about today's pulse diagnosis for Wen's, "...... Originally, I just wanted to invite Mrs. Jiang Shao to come out and quietly take a pulse, but I didn't expect it to be like this. "
Jiang Xi frowned and sighed: "You didn't do anything wrong. The heart of the doctor's parents has always been the family motto of my Jiang family. If you think that Mrs. Jiang may be pregnant but don't say it, if you really damage the fetus, you will hold a lifelong grudge. "
"It's just that if it gets out, it may cause trouble for the family......" Momoka was impulsive at the time, although she couldn't say that she regretted it at this time, but she was also a little worried.
Jiang Xi shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with you saying that. Just like when you stopped taking medicine for a sick child in the medicine hall that day, you just reminded you that the diagnosis and prescription were all done by other Langzhong, which was not against the words of the emperor. What's more, if Mrs. Jiang hadn't been reminded by you, she might have had a miscarriage, this is a happy event, the county lord should be grateful to you, and he won't catch your mistakes. "
"Well, it's a happy event." Momoka thinks so too.
"But--Momoka, when did you learn the method of medical treatment?" Jiang Xi was also a little curious, "I heard Mr. Song say, you also looked at it that day and made sure that the child was not cold but hot, otherwise if you take a few more medicines, the child's illness will really be delayed." "
"Actually, I'm not that sure-" Taohua hugged Jiang Xi's arm and lied, "I have read all the medical books and medical notes in our family, and sometimes when I see patients in the pharmacy, I will also look at them according to the method of medical treatment, but in fact, I can't see it most of the time." It's just that the symptoms of wind cold and wind fever will have some differences after the illness occurs, and it is more obvious than the diagnosis of pulse, so I feel that it is wrong. At that time, I just thought that if I was wrong, it would be nothing more than taking medicine later, but if the prescription was really wrong, it would inevitably kill someone, so I boldly said it and gave it a try. Fortunately, yes, otherwise it would have ruined the reputation of our medicine hall. "
"You're doing the right thing." Jiang Xi was quite pleased, "Human life is precious, if you delay your illness in order to take care of your feathers, you will be killed by the doctor." Since our Jiang family began to practice medicine, we must first learn the truth that human life is precious and the heart of the doctor's parents. I didn't expect that you have never studied medicine seriously, but you have learned medical ethics, and your ancestors have knowledge underground, so they should be proud of you. "
"Look at what Dad said......" Taohua lowered her head and arched on Jiang Xi's shoulder, feeling a little ashamed. To be honest, in her previous life, she began to use medical skills as a means of winning and a weight to affirm herself, and later it was a job, not so much medical ethics as professional ethics. Even today's diagnosis of Wen's pulse in Huishan Temple is more because of sympathy for Wen's, and there is still a gap between him and the doctor's parents, and he really can't afford Jiang Xi's praise.
Jiang Xi was a little proud: "Just by seeing a doctor by yourself, you can understand some truths about visiting a doctor, which is much better than your father." Unfortunately, if you had followed your uncle and grandfather, you would have learned more by now. Hey, my father was also taught by your grandfather and uncle, although I can't practice medicine now, I can remember what I learned before, do you want my father to teach you? "
Although they are both imperial doctors, the two brothers of the Jiang family have their own strengths, and now the Jiang family's medical skills have not been passed on, Jiang Xi has always been very sorry in his heart. He himself has a mediocre talent in diagnosing the pulse, and if the offspring are all mediocre, it would be fine, but his daughter looked very qualified, which made him feel itchy in his heart, and he couldn't help it.
"Okay." With Jiang Xi's teachings, at least it will not arouse suspicion in the future, "But if you teach and return to religion, my father's family still can't practice medicine." I will quietly follow you and learn from you, and I will not tell anyone else. "
"Okay, don't sue others." Jiang Xi stretched out his hand to high-five his daughter, and the father and daughter smiled at each other, like two children.
"Girl-" The father and daughter were facing Silly Le, and Mint poked her head outside the door, "Master, the county lord has rewarded a lot of things, saying that the girl has worked hard to accompany her to Huishan Temple today, and she specially sent it." "
Taohua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The county lord of Nanhua didn't mention the matter of the Wen family, obviously as Jiang Xi said, he was still grateful to her in the end, and he wouldn't poke this matter out: "Dad, let's go and see what good things the county lord has rewarded!" "
As long as the lord of Nanhua is willing, he will still act politely. The Jiang family has a share of the things that are rewarded, and of course, Taohua's share is the heaviest.
Jiang Xi got the four treasures of the study, one of which was as good as a baby's skin. Jiang Bohua got a gold-inlaid jade longevity lock, which was heavy and heavy.
Cao got two palace satins and a pair of white jade bracelets, and Jiang Yanhua got a pair of gold hairpins, with golden silk butterfly wings fluttering on the top, and small red sapphires.
Cao Shi couldn't put down the pair of jade bracelets: "It's really good jade." Jiang Xi also gave her a pair of jade bracelets, but they didn't have such a good texture. This kind of beautiful jade, which is as white as mutton fat, is worth a hundred taels of silver, and the Jiang family can't afford it.
Jiang Yanhua glanced at Taohuade's box: "Sister, take a look, what did the county lord give you?" "Peach Wald's box is noticeably larger than the rest.
Taohua saw through her little caution, and opened the box casually, and immediately Jiang Yanhua lost her voice and said: "It's so beautiful!" "
Inside the box are a pair of earrings inlaid with rubies, a pair of ivory hairpins, and a pearl Huasheng. Earrings and hairpins are just that, Huasheng is woven into a peony flower shape with thin gold wire, decorated with more than a dozen pink beads, bright and beautiful. Jiang Yanhua couldn't take it off when he saw it, and Cao's couldn't help but be speechless: "The county lord is really generous, and if you accompany you to the last incense, you will appreciate these many things...... If Mrs. Su also called Jiang Yanhua to go with her at that time......
Jiang Xi coughed lightly: "Taohua took care of the county lord's pregnant daughter-in-law along the way, and the county lord was satisfied, so he rewarded these." In the past, he would not have said this, but since the incident of the jade carving narcissus, he has also made up his mind that he can't let his stepwife have any restless thoughts. The things that the family got were all earned by Taohua, so it's better to make it clear.
Cao didn't dare to say anything. After the incident of the jade carving narcissus, she was worried. Although Jiang Xi didn't mention it to her when he came back, his attitude was a little cold, and Cao felt weak, and he had to spy on Jiang Xi's face everywhere. She was used to doing this kind of thing in the Chen family, and when she saw Jiang Xi's expression at this moment, she immediately closed her mouth in recognition.
In any case, with these things, the Cao family was already satisfied. When he returned to the room, he put the jade bracelet on his hand and looked at it, and said to Jiang Yanhua: "Next year, we will go back to the capital with your father, I am worried that you have no good jewelry to hold down, and this pair of gold hairpins is just right." "
Jiang Yanhua also liked this pair of golden hairpins very much, and was a little reluctant when she heard this: "Do you want to wait until next year?" I'm thinking I'm going to wear it for the Chinese New Year this year. "
Cao Shi pinched a golden hairpin and turned around, and the butterfly wings on the hairpin's head fanned slightly: "It's really a good thing." The last time I saw such a pair in Tianqiao Pavilion, before these gems were set, it cost fifty taels of silver. Your eldest uncle is an official, and he has a daughter who is a mother in the palace, if you don't have a good thing to suppress the scene when you go back, won't they look down on them? Look at it, the Huasheng that Sister Tao won must be worn until she returns to Beijing. "
Jiang Yanhua said in a low voice: "My sister got three things." And Mrs. Su gave it. I have to wear it during the New Year, so I can naturally keep it ......"
Cao sighed: "That's what she earned by serving people." Those nobles are not easy to serve. "
Jiang Yanhua pursed her lips, thinking that she had learned to serve her father and grandmother since she was six years old in the Chen family, and after coming to the Jiang family, she also learned to make medicinal food for Jiang Xi. It's a pity that no matter how much Mrs. Su flatters, she always only sees Taohua in her eyes.
"There's no way to ...... it," how could the Cao family not covet those few things? She had already looked at it carefully, the ruby set on the earrings was the size of a soybean grain, the ivory hairpin was white and flawless, carved with delicate orchid patterns, and Huasheng was even more ......
"She saved Mrs. Su." This kind of kindness is something that their mother and daughter don't have, and they can't catch up with the horse.
"It was saved by my father, she just met her......" Jiang Yanhua carefully put away the golden hairpin and muttered in a low voice, "It's my mother who won't let me go to the medicine house to ......"
Cao Shi also regretted this incident several times: "That Zhuangzi is dirty and tired, I, I can't bear you." Besides, you weren't afraid of tanning at that time, so I wouldn't let you go. "
At that time, she had just taken Jiang Yanhua to marry into the Jiang family, Jiang Yanhua was black and thin, standing with Taohua and being half a head shorter, she was compared to a little beggar, and Cao's heart was sad.
As soon as he heard about the medicine village, he thought of the Chen family's few acres of land, and thought of the hard life he had lived in the Chen family, how could he be willing to go? immediately pretended to be sick with Jiang Yanhua, and Jiang Xi took Taohua there. Where did I think of Taohua, I helped Mrs. Su at that time, and got involved with the Su family.
It's been like this, and I regret not coming. Jiang Yanhua pursed her lips and stopped talking. However, Cao Shi was a little stunned, and said for a while: "That's it, now that she has won the favor of the county lord, you follow her more to the county lord, I can't say that there is still a chance." "
Jiang Yanhua lowered her head and snorted softly: "I see, my sister won't take me there." "
"How could this be?" Cao still believes in Taohua at this point, "She's just angry with me." On Mrs. Su's birthday, didn't she still take you with her? When the girl of the Lu family came, she always called you over. "
Jiang Yanhua rubbed her fingers on the box containing the golden hairpin, and said after a while: "Last time, my sister also told me that those girls from high-ranking families told me to stay away from them. That's just the girl of the bookkeeper's house, and now this is the county lord, so don't you have to tell me to stay away? "
"No......" Cao Shi hesitated, "Let's have a relationship with the Su family, isn't this still a relationship......"
Jiang Yanhua was silent for a while, and asked, "Uncle is in Beijing, can he really be an official?" "
"Nature." Speaking of his brother, Cao couldn't help but be happy, "Didn't your uncle say it all in the letter?" He's in that Shangbao Bureau now, and it's a good place. If the errand is good, it will naturally be able to rise again. "
"But my uncle didn't say anything, and now he is a few officials."
"This-" Cao's confusion was also unclear, "after all, he is an official, he should be bigger than the county Cheng, right?" You can write a letter to your aunt and ask. Hey, if he survives, you can also get naked, and it's nice to go out and talk, and when it's time to see each other's relatives-"
"Mother!" Jiang Yanhua's face turned red, interrupted Cao's words, picked up the box and turned around and went out.
Cao Shi looked at his daughter's slender back, which had slowly shown a line of waist, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy. Her daughter is also older, and she looks good, if her brother is really promising, maybe she can find a family in Beijing in the future and marry in style......
