37. Gout

Momoka walked to the door of the cabin and glanced back, from which she could see half of the two people on the boat. Because of the sunlight on his back, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he saw the woman leaning on the man's side, like a green vine attached to a tree. The man looked down at the river, and his thin figure was a little lonely.

It's a pity that Taohua is not very interested in this picture that looks very good. Listening to Hanzhang's name, you know that she is the same as the white deer, she is a maid, maybe she is the one who Feng Bald said just now that she is "not ordinary". It's a maid, but she's so close to the man, eight out of ten to nine times is the so-called room. Tao Hua didn't have a good impression of this creature, or the man who stored the room, although in this time and space, this qiΔ“ was reasonable.

Soon put Miss Hanzhang and her county horse master behind, Taohua's family got off the boat and went straight to Jiujiang City.

Angelica is the most useful person around Jiang Xi, he is already in his twenties, and he is more careful and reliable than those fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys. He found a medium inn in the city, the rooms were not large, but they were very clean. And far away from the river, there is no river view to see, but it is not so humid. After the family settled down, Jiang Xi was full of interest and wanted to take his wife and daughter out to taste the food.

Jiujiang Mansion is the land of fish and rice, Jiujiang County is the traffic rush, its prosperity is not less than Wuxi, perhaps because there are many businessmen, it seems that the footsteps of pedestrians on the street are faster than the people on the streets of Wuxi.

"Let's go to the Moon Immersion Pavilion." Jiang Xi was very interested, "I just asked the guys in the inn, although the Xunyang Building is good, there are too many people, if you don't reserve a seat, most of them won't be able to wait." It's not as good as the Moon Dipping Pavilion, although it is a little remote, the scenery is actually good. ”

Jiang Yanhua blinked: "Daddy, what is the place of the Moon Immersion Pavilion?" I've never heard of it. ”

Jiang Xi had read a lot of history books, and happily answered her questions: "The Moon Immersion Pavilion is in Gantang Lake." It was originally the former site of the Three Kingdoms Zhou Yu's Dianjiangtai, and Bai Juyi built a pavilion in the lake in the Tang Dynasty, so it was named Dipping Moon. The Song Dynasty was once in decline, and I heard that it was rebuilt in recent years. ”

Jiang Yanhua thought for a while and said: "The name is Dipping Moon, is it taken from the meaning of the poem 'Farewell to the Vast River Dipping Moon' in "Pipa Xing"?" ”

Jiang Xixi read history, but he didn't know much about poetry, and he was stunned when he heard the words: "Ah-about it." Daddy doesn't know much about this. ”

Jiang Yanhua couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. She mentioned the poems, just to show one or two in front of Jiang Xi, who knew that Jiang Xi only knew about the Moon Pavilion and didn't know why, but it seemed that she was more ignorant than Jiang Xi.

Taohua saw through her careful thinking, turned her head and smiled, and said, "Daddy, how did I hear that there is also a Pipa Pavilion, but it is in Lake Biwa." In the end, where did Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" listen to the pipa? ”

Jiang Xi immediately forgot what was wrong with Jiang Yanyue, and said with a smile: "The name of the Pipa Pavilion is just to get the fame of some great poets." Bai Juyi listened to the pipa, of course, on the river, neither in Gantang Lake nor in Pipa Lake. It's just that later generations gave this name in order to pass on the name. ”

The first sentence of "Pipa Xing" says "Xunyang River sends guests off at night", of course, it is a pipa listened to on the Xunyang River. Jiang Yanhua knew it in her heart, but after looking at Jiang Xi, she remembered that she had just made it self-defeating, and silently swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Whether it is for the sake of vassal elegance or the light of a great talent, this Dipping Moon Pavilion is built well, the scenery of Gantang Lake is also good, and most importantly, the newly picked fish and shrimp in the lake taste really good.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the guy at the restaurant sent a pot of tea and said with a smile: "This is the flower tea that has become popular in the Jiangnan area in recent years. ”

"Where is this flower tea made?" Jiang Xi has lived in the capital for nearly 20 years, and naturally has a Beijing accent, so he returned to his hometown in Wuxi, and is still accustomed to speaking official language. Taohua naturally followed him, after all, she couldn't even understand Wu Nong's soft language in her previous life, and it was really difficult to learn to speak. And she came with a memory, in fact, there is still a little Mandarin in the accent, and when Xiao Er heard it, he felt that they must be northerners.

Cao Shi spoke southern, but not loudly. After Jiang Yanhua entered Jiang's house, he focused on getting closer to Jiang Xi and learning to speak official dialect, although he still has a bit of an accent from Wuxi, it is not much different.

"It is emerging in Wuxi. Now Suzhou and Hangzhou have also begun to produce this kind of tea, there are jasmine slices and rose slices, drink a cup after a meal, full of floral fragrance. However, if you want to talk about it in detail, it is still the best Zhulan tea in Wuxi, with an elegant aroma and will not affect the purity of the tea due to the floral fragrance. "The guy is articulate and speaks in a set.

Jiang Xi smiled and asked, "Then what kind of tea is this?" ”

The guy smiled: "Naturally, it's Zhulan tea, you know it as soon as you taste it." For a few of you, it's naturally the best. ”

Jiang Xi laughed and gave a small piece of silver: "The extra is for you." ”

The guys in the restaurant, whose eyes are comparable to those who measure silver, can estimate at a glance that after paying for the wine and food, this piece of silver can be at least thirty or forty yuan more. This money doesn't sound like much, but a guy's monthly salary is only one or two silver, and thirty or forty wen is considered an income, so he immediately thanked him with a smile: "If you like this Zhulan tea, we have tea leaves on the cabinet, all of which are last year's New Autumn tea, and they are definitely not more expensive than the price in the tea shop." ”

Taohua smiled: "Your shopkeeper is quite good at doing business." Which tea house did you get this Zhulan tea from? ”

"It's Wuxi's Huiyi Tea Shop." The guy replied proudly, "This flower tea was first made by Huiyi Tea Shop, and so far his family only produces pearl orchid tea, just because of the elegant aroma of this pearl orchid." Our restaurant is Xiang Huiyi into this pearl orchid tea, the most authentic. ”

Taohua was pleased. Huiyi's trading has been done here along the river, and it seems that it is time to buy more land this year, and a few acres of pearl orchids will not be unmarketable.

"Man, a seat." A crisp female voice came from the door, Taohua heard it familiar, looked up, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, with two maids and a small servant, walked in.

The guy looked back, and the middle-aged man in brocade was not outstanding, but the two maids around him were outstandingly dressed, and the slightly older maid actually wore a hosta on her head, and the color was green and very lush.

Although the founding emperor of this dynasty claimed to inherit the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, the customs and concepts he preached after ascending the throne were closer to those of the Song Dynasty, and he adhered to the style of frugality and simplicity, and there were many rules on clothing, such as stipulating that civilians could only use gold and silver ornaments, and not pearls and jade; Civilians were not allowed to wear silk and furs; Depending on the rank of the officer, the fur available is also different, and so on. Although after several generations of emperors, these rules have been diluted by now, and wealthy merchants can wear silk and satin as well, but it is not enough to use jade ornaments for lowly people like maids.

The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately piled up a smile on his face, and politely gave the four of them the best position by the window, and pulled back the screen next to it to isolate the small space.

The young maid who spoke, wearing a pale green silk gray squirrel skin jacket and holding a small silver hand stove in her hand, looked at the table and chairs critically before saying to the middle-aged man: "Master, this restaurant is quite clean." ”

As soon as she said the word "master", Taohua suddenly remembered, wasn't this the woman who was talking on the big boat on the dock before? The name should be Bailu. So, this man is the county horse, and the other older maid is that Hanzhang?

The man in brocade looked to be in his forties, with some frost at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, not like he had been carefully maintained, but as if he was often out and about. However, he was born with excellent facial features, and must have been a wonderful and beautiful man when he was young, and now, despite his age, he can still be called personable. Tao Hua glanced twice, and unfortunately found that he could not find anything similar to Jiang Heng, so he could not accurately determine whether he was the county horse of the Nanhua County Lord.

In contrast, the two maids can only be regarded as delicate, especially Hanzhang, who looks like he is also in his thirties, and his appearance is even more mediocre. However, her skin is very fair, and she wears a lotus-blue silver mouse skin jacket, which looks more and more like beautiful jade.

Her eyes were as gentle as water, the corners of her eyes were slightly bent, and she always seemed to have a bit of sorrow, and she spoke softly, which was too different from the name of the ancient treasure knife.

Tao Hua took two more looks, and the little guy next to her stared at him. This person looks to be in his early twenties, but his eyes are very sharp, and there are thick calluses on the tiger's mouth on his two hands, it seems that he is not an ordinary little guy, probably like the flying arrows around Jiang Heng, he should belong to the guards and the like.

Momoka turned her gaze away and looked out the window at the lake. The location of the Jiang family is not far from the brocade man's table, and although the screen is closed, the voice of the voice inside can still be faintly heard. Bailu seems to be a very lively character, the guy brings the wine and food, she is distributing the dishes, and at the same time she has to babble on how the dish is done, although it is a little noisy, but there is no lack of funny words, and it sounds quite relieving. Na Hanzhang rarely spoke, and occasionally said a word, which was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if he was persuading the man in brocade not to drink, but the gentleness like water in his voice could be felt more clearly.

The rest of the Jiang family also glanced at the brocade-clothed man and his party a few times, but as soon as the screen was closed, they lost interest, and only admired the lake outside the window, drinking and eating.

This restaurant sells self-brewed liquor, and the taste is very mellow, except for Jiang Xi and Taohua, they can also drink a glass, and Cao and Jiang Yanhua dare not touch it. Jiang Bohua looked at Jiang Xi's wine glass, and Jiang Xi dipped a drop of chopsticks and wiped it on his tongue, so spicy that he stretched out his little tongue.

However, the brocade man and his party in the screen next to him asked for pot after pot, Bailu began to pour wine happily, and then he dissuaded him again and again, and even Hanzhang's voice was raised, but the brocade man didn't know if he was a little drunk, and he refused to listen.

Jiang Xi asked the innkeeper before going out, knowing that the sunset over Gantang Lake was also a scene, although the family was full of wine and food, they were not in a hurry to get up and leave, and only drank tea and waited to watch the sunset.

Seeing the red sun slanting westward, a layer of red brocade was spread on the surface of the lake, and it was really like a picture scroll. Jiang Xigang smiled and said: "It's a pity that no one can draw, otherwise it would be a good painting if it is painted-" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a slamming sound of a chair toppling over in the screen, and then Bailu exclaimed: "Master, master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable on my feet." The brocade-clothed man's voice was a little reluctant, as if he wanted to get up and walk a few steps, but his feet were unsteady. Although the little guy was in a hurry to come and help, he still hit the screen. This restaurant uses a paper screen, and its base is only made of bamboo, which is only lightweight, where can it withstand people's bumps, and suddenly turned to the side, revealing everyone in the screen.

The Jiang family was the closest, so they naturally turned their heads to look, only to see the man in brocade being supported by someone, with a painful look on his face. Hanzhang knelt at his feet, pressed his hands on his knees, wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch, and said, "Master, but your legs hurt again?" ”

Bailu helped the man in brocade and said hurriedly: "I said that I shouldn't have come to this lake, but didn't I get damp and sick?" Wu Gou, hurry up and call a taxi, and then ask a Lang Zhong to do moxibustion. ”

Wu Gou agreed, and he was about to go out, but as soon as he let go, the man in brocade only moved slightly, and he stood unsteadily and wanted to stumble to the side, but fortunately Hanzhang stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly.

Bailu exclaimed, and the man in brocade fell into the chair, but reached out to hold the tip of his shoe and frowned tightly. Bailu's voice was a little crying: "Wu Gou, go quickly!" ”

Wu Gou was quite in a dilemma, Jiang Xi watched from the side, and said: "This little brother, you go to call a car, and I will help you help people out." ”

The man in brocade raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for this gentleman." My rheumatism, alasβ€”"

Jiang Xi stepped forward to set him up, and comforted him: "Although rheumatism is troublesome, as long as you move to a place with a dry climate, it can be greatly reduced, and it is not a problem." ”

Taohua was beside her, looking at the man in brocade who seemed to be unable to take a step, and suddenly asked, "This gentleman, are you having pain in your knees or your toes at the moment?" ”

Fine sweat oozed from the brocade man's forehead, and he glanced at Taohua: "It seems that his feet are in pain." ”

"Isn't it a leg pain?" Hanzhang was a little surprised, "Could it be that something happened to you?" ”

Taohua looked at the table of wine and food on the screen. There were four empty wine jugs on the table, a large plate of boiled lake shrimp was also eaten, and a roasted tofu with crab sauce was also gone.

"Does the gentleman feel pain after drinking alcohol or eating fish, shrimp and crabs?" This is probably not rheumatism, but an acute attack of gout. Drinking a lot of this wine and eating so many high-protein things can easily cause gout. And acute gout is more likely to occur at the end of the toes, and this man in brocade is not the usual knee pain, but toe pain, which is very revealing. Of course, if she could let him take off his shoes and look at his toe joints, Taohua would be more sure, but she didn't want to see a doctor for this person anyway, just a few reminders in her conscience.

"How does the girl know?" The man in brocade was carried out by Jiang Xi, and turned his head to look at Taohua in surprise. He didn't pay attention to it on weekdays, but now that Taohua said this, it was really like this.

"For these reasons, Mr. should abstain from alcohol in the future, and it is best to eat less fish and shrimp. Instead of curing the disease, it is better to prevent the disease. Taohua didn't answer directly, but just gave him a reminder, "And this disease doesn't sound like rheumatism, Mr. It's better to ask a good man to take a closer look." "Gout is quite similar to rheumatoid arthritis in terms of appearance, at this time, there is neither urine test nor blood test, and if the patient does not explain the dietary characteristics at the time of the attack, it is very likely to be misdiagnosed. And this county horse probably has rheumatism himself, which makes it easier for people to ignore this gout.

Bailu was busy supporting the man in brocade and didn't pay much attention to Taohua's words, but Hanzhang looked at a pair of watery eyes and said eagerly: "Is this girl actually proficient in medical skills?" Is there a way to stop this pain for our lord first? ”

Taohua shook her head: "I have only seen patients with similar symptoms, and I heard Lang Zhong say that this disease is a little different from the general disease of wind paralysis, and it has a lot to do with diet, and it should be carefully explained to Lang Zhong that the prescription is good for medicine." I listened to it and remembered that if I could avoid some misdiagnosis in the future, it would also be a matter of virtue, but as for medical skills, it would not be possible. ”

Han Zhang's face was disappointed, but he still said: "The girl has this benevolent thought, and a reminder is also a great favor." ”

At this moment, several people have already walked outside the restaurant, Wu Gou drove the carriage over, helped the man in brocade into the car, and the wine guy Ji had already instructed: "There is a rejuvenation hall on the fourth street to the south, in which Wang Langzhong is the best at curing wind paralysis." ”

Wu Gou raised his hand and threw him a small piece of silver, Hanzhang had already taken a purse and stuffed it into Taohua's hand: "Thank you girl, thank you for this gentleman's help." Climbing into the carriage, Wu Hook flicked the whip, and the carriage was gone.

Cao Shi looked at the carriage and sighed, "I don't know who it is, the carriage is so gorgeous." ”

Jiang Xi said casually: "Listen to the accent like a person from the north." Then he turned his head to look at his daughter, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and said, "It's not early, let's go back, we have to get up early tomorrow and hurry." ”

A few people returned to the inn, Jiang Xi sent Jiang Yanhua and Jiang Baihua to Cao's house to talk and play, entered Taohua's room by himself, and asked with great interest: "Taohua, how can you tell that person today is not an ordinary rheumatism?" ”

Although he did not practice medicine, he studied seriously with his father and uncle until he was a teenager. There are many nobles in Beijing, and their bodies are also delicate, and they like to call the imperial doctor when they have a small illness or pain. This rheumatism is a common disease in the elderly, so Jiang Xi knows more, and he can see that the man in brocade clothes is not rheumatism today, but he didn't expect his daughter to see it too.

Taohua blinked: "Daddy, is my method of seeing and treating in vain?" We have a lot of rheumatism in the south, and I have seen a lot and know a little bit about it. ”

Jiang Xiyan shook his head smilingly: "That's not right. There are many rheumatism, and you can tell that the difference is nothing, but you can know that asking the person about their diet is another matter. This is not something that can be diagnosed by looking at a doctor. "The signs of rheumatism and gout are on the body, and people who come to the pharmacy to buy medicine will not strip and expose their bodies like going to Langzhong to see a doctor.

Taohua pursed her lips, slightly nervous in her heart. Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment, but asked, "Have you also learned from Su Laolang to diagnose the pulse and prescribe prescriptions?" ”

Yes? Taohua looked at Jiang Xi with wide eyes, and didn't know whether to be happy or funny for a while. She's a naΓ―ve father, at this time, she is actually suspicious that she is studying medicine from Su Laolangzhong?

Jiang Xi misunderstood Taohua's expression, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Tao, Daddy doesn't blame you, if you really like medical skills, it doesn't hurt to learn from Su Laolang, he knows about our family, and he is not an outsider." It's just that no one else should know about it anymore. ”

When he said this, his expression was gloomy and angry. Jiang Fanghui was already a teenager when he had an accident, and he was not a child who didn't remember. He saw how his father and uncle studied medical books every day to improve their skills, and how they carefully discussed and carefully prescribed each prescription. But that's it, because Concubine Xian died, she was judged by the first emperor to be unworthy of practicing medicine.

Not to mention that the woman's birth is difficult, and the virtuous concubine is dystocia, it is a dangerous disease, and if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, he may not dare to say that there is no difference. And the death of the virtuous concubine, there is a lot of strange thing, the first emperor did not dare to investigate the harem, but he took a doctor to be angry. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister can't not die, but if you talk about it in detail, it is not an exaggeration to say that he had a grudge against the first emperor to kill his father.

"Daddy-" Taohua didn't want Jiang Xi to think about the past anymore, so she coquettishly hugged Jiang Xi's arm, "Didn't we say okay, my daughter won't let others know anymore." "This is the case in this era, the monarch of heaven and earth is in the affairs of the family, the monarch is still above the relatives, even if Jiang Xi has resentment against the first emperor, what can he do?

As soon as Jiang Xi was hugged by his daughter's arm, his heart softened, and Fang Cai's anger and sadness were put aside, and he raised his hand to touch his daughter's face, but was shocked to realize that his daughter was already a big girl: "Dad remembers that you went to Zhuangzi with your father to see herbs when you were eight years old, and it didn't take long for you to know all about these herbs. He also made his own gold sore medicine. These, my father used to think that you had read the medical books at home and knew the properties of medicine. Later, you saw the wrong prescription in the medicine hall, this wind is cold and hot, some experienced Lang Zhong will make a mistake, but you can see it, at that time, my father felt that this is not something that can be learned by reading medical books. ”

This is obvious, Taohua secretly thought, that is, her father, is so easy to fool, and she has to prevaricate: "My daughter also hit by mistake, luckily, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse." As he spoke, he playfully stuck out his tongue.

"Girls' families, what kind of tongue to spit out, unruly." Jiang Xi said sternly, but his tone was extremely gentle, "Don't lie to your father, your father knows that you are not talking nonsense." Strictly, Daddy is down to business. ”

God, isn't that a good fool? Taohua had to sit up straight and muttered, "Daddy is what he says......
