Chapter 55

After a full day's rest, the two of them prepared to go up the mountain early the next morning.

The prefect and others did not leave, and came to ask for peace again, and expressed their intention to accompany the driver. Lin Qingyun's side naturally also ordered the ladies to come, and the two looked at each other, both of them were very helpless. Travel is not good, no matter where you go, no matter whether you are sincere or not, those people below are eager to be accompanied by compliments from time to time, one or two times are just poured, and it is really annoying to have too many times.

Tu Yan ordered people to prepare a car at the back gate of the garden, and asked people to tell the government and others to go back, and ordered Qingyang County to order only more people to inspect all parts of Jiuhua Mountain immediately, so as not to disturb the people too much. Tu Yan and Lin Qingyun didn't plan to stay here longer, they had seen the rumored "Jiuhua Mountain Divine Doctor", and they would leave Anhui tomorrow and go straight to Ningbo.

There are only two cars up the mountain, Tuyan Lin Qingyun sat on one, and the car behind sat Egret Acacia, Red Silk Green Luo, and tea and snacks were prepared.

Although it was still early, the mountain was already bustling. It is said that the Buddha should be worshiped early, and many pilgrims come to the town in advance to stay in the mountain town, and rush to the incense the next day. Lin Qingyun and the others did not worship the Buddha, and went directly to the grass and reeds of the "miracle doctor".

The grass and reeds of the miracle doctor are built on the lotus peak, the terrain is extremely high, but fortunately, the original dirt road has been tamped, and the variegated stones have been taken to pave the steps, which is much easier to walk than before. If you want to go to Caolu for medical treatment, you can't get up and down, you can only walk. The two got out of the car, and saw several figures walking on the mountain road from a distance, and there was no imaginary grand scene. Come to think of it, even if it is really a miracle doctor who practices medicine here, but it is hidden in the peak of the mountain, and someone has to climb it himself, ordinary minor illnesses and pains or the money to ask a doctor to take medicine will not come to suffer this hardship.

Lin Qingyun was a little worried about her body, so she said, "I'll go up, anyway, I didn't really come to seek medical treatment." I'll go and tell you in detail about what he says, or if he thinks that people are not sincere if they are not close, then that's fine. This mountain road is uneven, and it will only take an hour to climb to the grass and reeds, and your body will definitely not be able to stand it. ”

Tu Yan also knew this ceremony, his brows tightened, but he said: "It's okay to go slowly, I have to say some things myself." ”

Lin Qingyun noticed that he was in an abnormal mood at the moment, and he was puzzled for a while.

Tu Yan only whispered: "I want to ask An Le's illness." ”

Easy? Lin Qingyun remembered the time when An Le was sick before, the cause and condition were not clear, but it was very strange, because Tu Yan and the eldest princess and others didn't seem to want to mention it, she didn't want to ask. Listening to him at this time, I knew that he had made up his mind, so I had to agree.

Tu Yan was supported by Le Gonggong, and slowly went up, resting from time to time, and finally reached the place where the grass and reed were already noon. There is no need to go down the mountain in the mountains, the terrain is high, the mountains and forests are dense, and the mist and mountain springs are cool and comfortable even if there is no wind. This is a flat place halfway up the mountain, there are mountains, water, trees, flowers, all of them are natural and casual, except for the birds and wild things in the mountains, and the occasional people who come to seek a doctor, this place is not disturbed at all, and the "miracle doctor" really chose a good place. The water is against the mountain stone is the grass reed, it is really very simple and simple, there are many straw mats around, all kinds of herbs are dried on it, there is a trace of tea fragrance in the air, no matter how you look at it, you can't live here.

"Cave." Tu Yan caught a glimpse of a natural cave on the mountain wall behind the grass reed, on which hung unknown herbs, presumably to repel mosquitoes.

There were several patients in the grass and reed, all of them with poor faces, and the people who accompanied them were all worried and couldn't stop looking forward to it. The miracle doctor who was treating the patient was only twenty-seven or eighteen, less than thirty years old, dressed in a blue cloth robe, with a wooden hairpin tied with his hair, a slightly dark complexion, and an ordinary appearance.

Sometimes a person's temperament is more important than appearance and age, etc., at least after meeting the real person, Lin Qingyun believes that the other party does have some miraculous medical skills.

At this time, Imperial Physician Xiao Qin couldn't help but step forward first, and did not speak on the side, only observing the "divine doctor" to treat people. After the other party finished the diagnosis, one person glanced at Imperial Doctor Xiao Qin, then ignored it and continued to the next one.

Lin Qingyun asked the little eunuch to move a rough wooden bench, helped Tu Yan to sit down and rest, and while looking at the man, he said: "This person is really lazy, outsiders call him 'Jiuhua Mountain Divine Doctor', he is not humble and accepts, asking him his name has always been, but he always misses a word, and he is even lazy to take a pseudonym." ”

Tu Yan smiled: "After all, it's a miracle doctor, and you don't need to use a pseudonym." ”

After a few years of time, the first few patients were gone, and Tu Yan stepped forward.

The divine doctor first examined his face carefully, frowned slightly, and then checked his pulse, and his eyes showed surprise: "Your body is damaged by all five internal organs, which should be caused by poisoning in the early years, this poison is very domineering, so that you can lose your life in a small cold, and even your lifespan is only in the past two years." But you have already received the miracle medicine, and your body is recovering very quickly, but you can be cured in three or five years, and you are even stronger than ordinary people, so why do you come to me? ”

Not only Tu Yan, but also Lin Qingyun and the others were shocked, just because what he said was all accurate.

Tu Yan didn't expect that this miracle doctor was really a god, not only able to cure diseases, but also so straightforward and bold in his words, even he dared to assert that he would be cured in a few years. Yu Guang glanced at Gaoyang Li Li and the two of them a few steps behind him, knowing that these words would be reported to the emperor in a few days, and they couldn't hide from what they should have come.

"I still have a disease to ask for." Tu Yan didn't mention the other party's diagnosis, and said: "I have a niece who has had a strange disease since she was a child, and she always has nightmares for no reason, crying and making trouble in her dreams, and if she doesn't wake her up, she will walk around with her eyes closed, smash things when she catches, and hurt people when she catches them." Even when she woke up, she seemed to be trapped in a dream, frightened and inexplicable, always suspicious that someone was trying to harm her. Previously, many famous doctors were invited to the family, but they only said that they were frightened or disturbed by nightmares, and they did not eat all kinds of soothing soup and rejuvenation pills, but they could only be temporarily appeased, but they could not be cured. The family was very worried about this, and dared to ask my husband if there was a good way to heal him? ”

Lin Qingyun was surprised when she heard this.

How complicated is Anle's illness?

When she asked, Tu Yan said that An Le was the root cause of poor care when he was a child, so it can be seen that Tu Yan and Princess Eldest had some speculations about why An Le had nightmares.

"Does she remember the dream?" In ordinary times, if such a patient is encountered without being there in person but only relays his condition, he will refuse to treat it, because he does not "see, hear, and inquire" with his own eyes, and many causes cannot be understood, and rashly making a diagnosis and prescribing medicine is not a joke with human life. It's just that this time the patient is different, not because of his identity, but because of his illness, which makes him very interested, and even more interested in what miracle medicine the other party gets. On the other hand, he was also interested in another case relayed, after all, it was a rare condition.

"Sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't, it's all all kinds of strange dreams, since she was three or four years old when she first told her that she dreamed that a ghost was going to eat her, the family was very attentive, never told her those absurd things, and did not let her come into contact with strange books. However, her nightmares never stopped, and she tended to become more and more strict, and sometimes she was trapped in her dreams and it was difficult to break free. Tu Yan was also very anxious about this, and said: "Two years ago, her grandfather invited a very famous doctor to visit her, and the doctor prescribed a dose of medicine, called 'Liuwei Tranquility Soup', which was drunk every night before going to bed, and there was indeed less sickness, and there was a kind of plaster, if you can't wake up in a dream when you get sick, you just need to sniff it and wake up when it doesn't take long to wake up." It's just that in the end, the symptoms are not cured, and once the disease occurs, it is more ferocious than usual. ”

As soon as I heard it, I had nightmares when I was three or four years old, and I thought it was a sign even earlier.

After a long silence, he said: "I have seen this kind of disease in books, it often occurs in adults, or is stimulated by something, and every time there is a similar situation, it will stimulate the onset of the disease, and such patients have the cause of the disease, and they do not remember it. In fact, this is a dormant period of madness, when the patient can not bear it, the whole person will collapse, and gradually become delirious and do not recognize people. ”

"So strict?" Lin Qingyun exclaimed, she couldn't imagine that the lively and clever An Le had become like that.

"Sir, may he?" Tu Yan's face changed slightly, and his expression was eager.

"It's hard to say, I haven't been cured." Having said that, the man was eager to try: "I want to see the patient." ”

Tu Yan didn't mind his attitude, but now he was afraid that no one would be willing to govern, since he dared to say such things, there was always hope. Then he asked, "What is the name of the gentleman?" ”

"My surname is Fan, Fan Shu."

"Dare to ask where Mr. Fan is from?" Imperial Physician Xiao Qin asked suddenly.

Fan Shu glanced at him and replied, "My ancestral home is Pengcheng. ”

"Could it be Fan Ahou?" Imperial Physician Xiao Qin was surprised.

"Fan Ah is indeed an ancestor."

When Tu Yan heard this, he immediately said: "The patient is in the capital, if Mr. Fan is willing, I will send someone to send Mr. to Beijing." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Speaking of this, Fan Shu directly revealed the identity of the disciple, and then did not wait for everyone's reaction, turned back to the cave to pack up his things, and collected the herbs that were dried outside.

The group went down the mountain.

Except for a small part of Fan Shu's big bun of herbs, most of the other half were given to the old Taoist priest of the Taoist temple. This Taoist temple is not big, but the incense is full, the old Taoist priest knows some medical skills, the Taoist temples of all sizes, and even the town has someone who is sick, there are invited this old Taoist priest to see, the old Taoist priest not only does not charge any consultation fees, and even often sticks medicinal materials in vain. Fan Shu is not the first time to come back to Jiuhua Mountain, and this old Taoist has some friendship, often help him find some medicinal materials, and the old Taoist asks Xiao Dao Tong to bring him food every day.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Lin Qingyun didn't understand yet, and while she was packing up her things below, she asked Tu Yan: "What is the origin of Fanshu?" Who is Fan A? ”

Tu Yan said: "You may not know the name Fan A, but you must know his teacher." ”

"Who?"

"Divine Doctor Hua Tuo."

Lin Qingyun was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he doubt the letter: "Hua Tuo's disciple...... That Fan Shu is the descendant of his disciple, inherited the medical skills, and can be regarded as Hua Tuo's disciple grandson? Then he said with a smile: "It's strange that others called him a miracle doctor, and he responded to it, and he inherited it from his ancestors." ”

Tu Yan also smiled: "It is rumored that Hua Tuo has three children, Fan A is the best at acupuncture, at that time in the mountains grass reed Fan Shu is to use acupuncture to treat those people, the needle is fast, accurate, and stable, it can be seen that it is a learned experience since childhood." As for the title of 'miracle doctor', it is just that he is too lazy to say his name. In the Pengcheng area, there is nothing I don't know when it comes to the Fan family medical hall, and my father also invited the Fan family doctor to treat me, which is about Fan Shu's father. From today, Fan Shu is even more outstanding than his father's medical skills. ”

"In that case, then you should rest assured."

"I hope he will be able to heal his peace." Tu Yan paused, and took the initiative to mention the disease of Anle: "The root of Anle's disease was planted long before his first birthday. You also know the family history of the eldest concubine, after the initial separation, began to secretly contact the old department of the abolished prince, this letter was intercepted by the eldest sister, seeing that the letter has a lot of resentment against the father, and even said that the family affair with the eldest sister is the royal persecution, saying that he is ashamed of his grandparents and married the daughter of the enemy. ”

Lin Qingyun couldn't hide her surprise, the big horse could say such things without being extremely confused.

Thinking about it, the eldest concubine may not really think so in his heart, but when he contacts the person who abolished the prince, he naturally has to put aside the relationship with the current new monarch, but in this way, the eldest princess should be so heart-wrenching when she sees the content of the letter. Although the two are politically married, they have also lived together for three or four years, already have a son, and have just added a daughter, how can they not have the slightest love between husband and wife?

Seeing that he insisted on going to a dead end, the eldest sister was discouraged and informed her father of the matter. The eldest sister is also forced to do so, and the eldest colt is already like this, but she has to think about Hong'er. "After all, although Lu Hong is the son of the eldest princess and the grandson of the emperor, he is the son of the eldest concubine, surnamed Lu, and has the blood of the Zhongyi Mansion on his body.

It seems that there is indeed an inside story about the illness and death of the big horse, but the emperor wants him to die and wants him to "die a normal death".

"When Anle was seven or eight months old, the big horse had been confined for a long time, and that day someone didn't know who brought in the news of his mother's death, and the big horse got drunk, and rushed away from the guards and broke into the big sister's yard. At that time, the eldest sister was holding An Le, but when she saw the big horse running in with red eyes and running in like crazy, she had a big fight with the eldest sister, and the things in the house were also smashed. An Le Xu was frightened that day, and he had a high fever at night, and it took two or three days to go down, and then he often woke up and cried in his sleep, and fell into the root of the disease, and the bigger the disease, the more serious the disease. The eldest sister didn't tell her about those things, Hong'er was four years old when she had an accident, and she already remembered, and she had never asked the big horse for so many years, so it can be seen that she also holds a grudge in her heart. ”

Lin Qingyun didn't know how to answer for a while, this topic was too heavy.

When leaving Jiuhua Mountain, the prefect and others all had respectful things, and they did not accept them in vain, but left the tea sent by the Qi family. There are many types of tea sold by the Qi family, all of which are local teas in Anhui, among which the famous products are Taiping Houkui and Qimen black tea, and there are these two kinds of tea in the tea sent. In addition, there is flower tea, the packaging is very exquisite, with six porcelain jars of flowers and birds painted with flowers, respectively, containing jasmine, orchid, rose, rose, plum blossom, wood fragrance to add the flower tea of zuò. Nowadays, the scale of the flower tea system is not large, and the big families who pay attention to it are also self-made by picking flowers, Lin Qingyun opened a porcelain jar, the plum fragrance came to the face, the flower tea cellar is very particular, the tea leaves are picked up with high-quality green tea, and even the plum blossom buds are carefully selected, presumably not sold in the market, but I am afraid that it is the family system of the family or dedicated to it as a gift for the female dependents.

Lin Qingyun couldn't help but smile and said: "Mrs. Qi has a heart, so many people came to greet her that day, but I didn't mean to say that I like flower tea, so she sent this." In the end, there is a specialization in the art industry, and when I smell this aroma, it is better than the flower tea in our house. ”

Tu Yan planted some tea trees in the garden, and intermittently bought jasmine, not to eat tea, but to look elegant, and it was also interesting to taste tea in the pavilion, but in fact, the tea leaves with the fragrance of jasmine were picked by the maids to make pillow sachets and the like. Later, I learned that she loved to drink flower tea, so she specially instructed to keep the tea leaves, and made tea after picking, which was not bad, but compared with the tea of the Qi family, it was immediately superior in the end.

"If you like it, let them honor you every year in the future." Tu Yan said.

Lin Qingyun glanced at him and said, "How do you say this?" Don't you like to be close to those people? ”

Tu Yan opened a jar of Qimen black tea again, looking at the color and tasting the fragrance, it is really a first-class tea. said in his mouth: "Do you know why the Qi family sacrificed the garden?" ”

Lin Qingyun was not surprised: "As the old saying goes: take it in advance, you must give it first." The Qi family must have asked for something when they offered the garden. What are they asking for? ”

Tu Yan said: "Tell me that 'shopping malls are like battlefields'. Anhui is also a few famous tea producing areas, large and small tea merchants are countless, Qi family has become the leader in Chizhou, do you know that others are not red? There are many tea merchants from other places who want to come and share the soup. If someone else is down, the Qi family will meet the Tian family. ”

"The Tian family? What is the origin? ”

"Tian Kui of the Tian family is the disciple of the king of Sujun, and his sister is the concubine of the county king's mansion, and it is said that she is very favored."

Lin Qingyun couldn't help but smile: "Do you know this kind of thing in the inner house?" ”

"Lu Luo, like the lark in your house, likes to inquire about the proprietor's family, Li Jiaxiao, thanks to her, I really know a lot of gossip news." Tu Yan himself laughed, but his words were very serious: "Nowadays, each county king's mansion has a suit, and the doorman is doing business outside, which seems to be a big deal for the county king's mansion, but in fact, it is self-evident whose pocket the money goes into." Because of this relationship, and the inside story that everyone knows well, everyone has to give three points to do business outside, no matter how capable the Qi family is, it is only in Chizhou Mansion, and there is no deep relationship behind it, how dare to confront the Tian family. ”

"And what are you going to do with it?" If you help the Qi family, wouldn't you be up against King Sujun? It's not that I'm afraid of King Sujun, it's just that taking this matter will lead to a series of consequences, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the suspicion and defense of the princes of the counties, thinking that he has the intention to compete for the throne and accept the Qi family as a doorman.

Tu Yan pointed to the Qimen black tea in front of him and said: "Those Westerners like black tea very much, if the Qi family can open up ocean trade, not only avoid competing with the Tian family, but also expand the business." What do you think? ”

"You mean......" Lin Qingyun immediately understood what he meant, and asked with a straight face: "Are you going to take over the Qi family?" ”

"Just be prepared. Right now, I don't want to do that much, I just want to try this ocean trade with my family. "Tu Yan originally wanted to avoid the last three years, but when the opportunity was delivered, it would not hinder anything if it was properly used, and the emperor knew it.

Rushing to the top of the scorching heat, I was afraid that I would not be able to stand it in vain, so I stopped and stopped, and it took half a month to arrive in Ningbo. According to the plan, he said that he was unwell and stopped at the port of Ningbo.

"Princess, the letter from the capital."

Lin Qingyun took a look at it, it was Daiyu's letter.

Because of frequent correspondence, although he left the capital, he knew all the news in the capital. The first thing to open the letter is a happy event, Zhuang Shiyu got married in mid-April, and she was pregnant in only two or three months. The second thing is also a happy event, Jia Yingchun discussed marriage, the other party is Liu Peng, the concubine of the Liguo Mansion, and Yingchun in the same year, the two families are both the first of the Guogong Mansion, the same concubine, and it is the first family matter mentioned by the Liguo Mansion. This can be described as a good family affair that is right for the family, Jia Yu naturally responded, and it was decided on July 12.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyun hurriedly instructed the egret: "Count out the soil instruments we purchased on the road, write them one by one, and bring them back to the capital with the letters in a while to distribute them to each family." By the way, don't forget to thicken the things of the second girl of the Jia family, although it is a small ding, but I always want to congratulate when I know it. ”

The egrets responded one by one and turned their heads to take care of things.

Lin Qingyun continued to look down, frowning. As in the original book, the attacker mentioned the monthly case, although he did not officially open his face, but he had been crossed by Mrs. Wang, and the monthly case was equal to Zhou Zhao's two aunts. The reason why Daiyu mentioned this matter was just to sigh that Baoyu would come to the future. Originally, Baoyu was only the second son of the second room of the Guogong Mansion, and he said that his parents would not go up or down, and he was born in two rooms and changed his residence, and then he made a disturbance about relatives.

Daiyu sighed privately: "It seems that the second aunt has set up Sister Bao." ”

At this time, Tu Yan was also reading the news in Beijing, and finally said to her: "Concubine Xiande had a miscarriage five or six days ago. ”

Lin Qingyun picked up the letter in his hand and looked at the date of payment, it was sent more than ten days ago, and Jia Yuanchun's matter had not yet come out when Daiyu wrote the letter. However, even if the Jia family knows about it now, it will not be spread out, there are many dragon heirs who have fallen before they were born, and this time it is Jia Yuanchun who conceals it and does not report it, if the emperor is annoyed and treats the crime of neglecting the protection of the dragon heir, not to mention Jia Yuanchun, the Jia family will be offended.

"The excitement of the Jia family is over." After all, Jia Yuanchun is old, and it is not easy to be favored and pregnant, but he has lost his partiality, and he is discouraged, and it is unknown whether he can carry it over.

"Why don't you ask who did it" Tu Yan saw that she looked lazy, quite a little puzzled, usually this kind of thing she likes to get to the bottom of the matter, talk to each other, but think more thoroughly than he alone.

"There are just a few people on the left. After days of traveling, it was hot, and I was tired and wanted to sleep for a while. As she spoke, she was already crooked on the couch and closed her eyes, listening to the chirping of summer insects in the yard, and unconsciously fell asleep.

Tu Yan felt strange, seeing that her face was a little red, his heart moved, and he reached out to her forehead, which was really hot. It must have been too hot and cold last night, so I drove the car through the small window all the way, and slept there for most of the night, but it wasn't a cold and fever.

Tu Yan hurriedly called Imperial Physician Xiao Qin over, and called in Egret and others to serve.
