Chapter 23: Asking for Medicine
"You are too worried and take all the responsibility on yourself, so that you will linger. Quickly accept this thought, and trust my medical skills. Yan Shizhen comforted her. Although he said this, he knew in his heart that Li Xiangyu's illness was really tricky.
Li Xiangyu tried hard to collect her tears and said, "I believe in your medical skills and understand my body." You will heal me with all your heart, and I will take the medicine carefully, but as for the result, it depends on God's will. ”
Yan Shizhen has been practicing medicine for many years, and he knows that heart disease is difficult to treat. "I'm sure that Brother Yun Xian won't want you to blame yourself too much. Although Mei'er is a girl, she also has the blood of the Yun family. For the sake of eyebrows, you also have to be good. ”
After talking for a long time, Li Xiangyu was extremely tired, and when he heard Yan Shizhen's words, he shook his head and was silent.
By this time, it was already dark outside. Yun Shu came in with a porridge and side dishes, and said, "Mother's meal has been prepared, and after half an hour of eating, take the medicine again, I'm afraid it will take another half an hour for the effect of the medicine to appear." Mei'er prepared a reception banquet for Uncle Yan, and invited Master Qin and Steward Meng to accompany him, Uncle Yan might as well go and have some food before coming. ”
Yan Shizhen wanted to come too. Huanli led Yan Shizhen to the banquet room.
Yun Shu accompanied Li Xiangyu to eat some food, served her to lie down, and said to Li Xiangyu: "Mother will rest for a while, and when the medicine is decoctioned, I will bring it." My mother is not in good health, so I should go and toast to Uncle Yan, and thank Uncle Yan for his treatment of my mother. I have just asked Ziyun to prepare a room for Uncle Li, and I feel relieved if Uncle Yan can stay and keep an eye on my mother's condition at any time. What does Mother think? ”
"Mei'er has grown up, and she has become more and more thoughtful, so good." Li Xiangyu was relieved and sad.
"Then mother will rest first, and I'll go and toast Uncle Yan before I come." Yun Shu said.
"Go ahead." Li Xiangyu patted Yun Shu's hand and said.
Seeing that Yun Shu went out, Li Xiangyu lay on the hospital bed and thought alone.
Yan Shizhen was born in the third child of a medical family, but his father hoped that he could take the imperial examination, after all, being an official is far more respected than being a doctor. Yan Shizhen is not very keen on being an official, he prefers to study medicine. But his father's fate was difficult to disobey, and he took the exam until he was thirty years old, but he still did not win, so he went home to persuade his father. In the end, he finally persuaded his father to give up continuing the scientific expedition, but more often than not, he was traveling to the doctor.
Yun Jintong and Yan Shizhen have been classmates for many years, and their relationship is the best. Li Xiangyu was taken to the college to accompany him and was able to get in touch with Yan Shizhen. Therefore, she deeply understands the friendship between her husband and Yan Shizhen.
In Yun Jintong's heart, he really wanted to give Yun Shu to Yan Shizhen's son. And Yan Shizhen has been obsessed with medicine all these years, in addition to burying himself in researching medicine, he is traveling around to save lives and help the wounded, expand the records of medical classics, and he is not concerned about marriage and heirs, and he has not even married a wife so far. Coupled with the fact that he dressed up like a Taoist priest every day, his family persuaded him many times to no avail, and even thought that he was going to be an outsider.
Yun Shu was eight years old, and Yun Jin saw that it was hopeless to marry Yan Shizhen, so he gave Yun Shu to Li Yuanfen's only son.
Yan Shizhen's arrival gave Li Xiangyu a person to talk to, and it also made her feel relieved and think of an arrangement.
After taking the medicine late, Li Xiangyu did improve.
Yun Fan brought his luggage from the inn where Yan Shizhen lived, and Yan Shizhen stayed in the Yun family room that night.
On the second day, Yan Shizhen went to see Li Xiangyu again, and explained the medication and diet to Li Xiangyu's personal housekeeper Po Guizhi. He explained to Li Xiangyu that he came in a hurry yesterday, and there were still many patients who had not finished reading it, and he wanted to deal with the matter and come back again.
Li Xiangyu naturally said that he should rest assured that his condition would be fine.
Yan Shizhen came out of the Yun Mansion, and the Yun family's carriage sent him under the overpass. His stall is still there, and there are already early arrivals waiting in line for him. He planned to stop coming for the time being after seeing today's patient and take care of Li Xiangyu's illness wholeheartedly. always felt that if Li Xiangyu got better, he would be worthy of his former friend Yun Jintong.
Unexpectedly, not long after the clinic opened, I saw Yun Shu coming over with Yun Fan and a big girl.
"Uncle Yan is good, I hope Mei'er is not too late." Yun Shu saluted.
Yan Shi said sincerely: Why is this little girl here? I felt uneasy. "Is it because your mother's condition has changed? I just went to see it before I went out, so I shouldn't have been. As he spoke, he got up and packed his things.
Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Uncle Yan is too worried, I didn't come here for my mother's illness." He pointed to the patients in line and said, "Yesterday I promised Uncle Yan that I was here to provide medicine for these patients." ”
After knowing that Yun Shu was the daughter of his best friend Yun Jintong, Yan Shizhen completely forgot about Yun Shu's promise to provide medicinal materials. Now he knows that although the Yun family has a good background, it is not easy for orphans and widows, and the family has wealth, which can always make life better, and he doesn't want her to break the bank. What's more, it is good to have a free clinic by herself, prescribe a prescription after the diagnosis, and do not charge the consultation fee, and the matter of providing medicines is not only to take out the money to finish, but also to purchase medicinal materials and distribute medicinal materials.
Yan Shizhen wanted to push this matter off, so he said: "I just said it casually yesterday, and I didn't take it seriously." You should go back and take care of your mother, and then you will leave these things alone. ”
Yun Shu insisted: "Although I don't know much about finances, I have been buying medicine for my mother these days, and I have also learned that for many patients here, the burden of medicine money is indeed heavy. I also want to accumulate blessings for my mother, and I hope that my mother will get better soon, but Uncle Yan still doesn't shirk. ”
Although Yan Shizhen knew that Yun Shu was telling the truth, he couldn't help but think more about her, and said, "The matter of medicinal materials is very troublesome, and you are a little girl who doesn't understand pharmacology, so forget it." ”
Yun Shu smiled: "I naturally know that I don't know medical science, for fear of getting the wrong medicine and affecting Uncle Yan's medical name, so I thought about it for a long time last night and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
"Does your mother know about this?" This question is critical.
"This is a good deed, my mother naturally supports it, Uncle Yan can rest assured." Yun Shu said.
In fact, she was very weak and had been thinking about how to tell her mother. No matter, if my mother didn't know, she would never mention it.
Yan Shizhen is still not at ease.
In order to prevent him from asking any further, Yun Shu began to talk about her plan.
The reason why Yun Shu arrived late was because she went to negotiate a business first.
Yun Shu knew that he didn't understand medicinal materials, and the Yun family didn't have anyone who knew medicinal materials to help, so after purchasing a large number of them, it was difficult to administer the medicine according to the prescription on the spot. She thought about it for half the night and came up with a simple, trouble-free solution.
I went out early today and went to Jishitang, the largest medicine hall in the capital.
When the pharmacy man opened the door, he saw a little girl dressed in plain white, with two handsome servants, a man and a woman, waiting in front of the door.
The guy was stunned by such a cute and touching little girl, and smiled back innocently, and said, "Miss is here to buy medicine, I've been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”
Yun Shu nodded, stepped into the door with Yun Fan and Ziyun, and immediately smelled the unique medicinal fragrance that filled the room. In front of me is a large open room, five or six rooms wide on the left and right, two or three rooms in depth, the inside is very wide, there is a small door on the side, and there should be a back hall behind. What amazed her the most was that the back wall was a long and dense medicine box lined up high, reaching the beam, several slender slides snuggled next to the medicine wall, in front of the medicine wall was a high cabinet, the counter was flat and wide, and there were various tools for simple handling of medicinal materials when packing medicine, and a row of very energetic guys stood between the medicine wall and the cabinet. Under the front window, there are five sets of desk chairs, five sitting doctors, sipping tea, waiting for patients to come to see a doctor.
The medicine hall has been cleaned and cleaned, and Lang Zhong's men have already performed their positions, just waiting for the guests to come to the door. It can be seen that the management of this Jishitang is very strict and orderly, no wonder it can become the first medicine hall in the capital.
The guy who brought Yunshu in saw that she was young, and thought that it was a young lady who came to buy medicine for her family, so he said, "Miss is going to buy medicine?" Can you bring a prescription? ”
Yun Shu was looking at the medicine hall, and when she heard this, she came back to her senses and said with a light smile: "I have a business and want to talk to your housekeeper." ”
The guy's jaw dropped unconsciously when he heard this, and he sighed in his heart: such a young lady has started to talk about business? If you don't bother to learn the craft, you will really have nothing to eat in the future, let alone think about begging for a daughter-in-law.
Although he felt unbelievable, he was going to lose the business that came to his door, and the shopkeeper would inevitably give him a good beating. "Please, Miss, later, I'll go and call my housekeeper."
Yun Shu nodded, and when she saw the guy turn into the back hall, she continued to look at the layout of the medicine hall.
The first guest who opened the door turned out to be such a young girl, and he heard that the guy had to go to the steward, was it still a big deal? In an instant, Yun Shu attracted the attention of everyone in the medicine hall, looked her up and down, and some people whispered and began to speculate.
Yun Shu also felt it, so she smiled lightly on her face and nodded lightly.
Soon, a shrewd man in his fifties came out of the back hall, slender and well-dressed, followed by the fellow.
Although the guy told him that she was a very young girl, he was still shocked to see Yun Shu so young. After all, he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he was frightened, so he stepped forward and smiled: "My surname is Zhang, I am the steward here, I don't know what to call Miss?" ”
Yun Shu said with a smile: "My surname is Yun, I have some business to discuss with Manager Zhang today, is it convenient to take a step to speak?" ”
Steward Zhang was slightly stunned, do you want to talk secretly? I was also curious. "So, Miss Yun, please come with me." ”
Yun Shu followed Steward Zhang, walked through the medicine hall, and entered the reception room behind the curtain, which was quite elegantly decorated. Yun Shu thought that it should be a place for merchants who bought a large number of medicinal materials to discuss.
Yun Shu was low, and laboriously sat on a chair, Ziyun and Yun Fan standing beside her.
The man brought two cups of tea and carefully withdrew.
Steward Zhang said, "I don't know what Miss Yun has to say?" ”
Yun Shu got straight to the point and said, "I want to buy a batch of medicinal materials from your medicine hall. ”
