Chang'an Tour Chapter 40 Seeking a Prescription
Lian Yi was a little tempted when he heard this, but it was not the best policy to ask for someone in a daze, Lu Zheng saw that Lian Yi was a little hesitant, so he said again: "Doesn't the girl believe in the words of a long history, since I am an official of the imperial court, how dare I make a wrong mind to the people in Yao Xiang's mansion?" ”
Lianyi said, "Then where is this person?" ”
Lu Zheng said: "I heard that this person does not appear in the market, does not appear in the crowded place, but in a house outside the city. This person's name is Mr. Huangfu, and he has the ability to cure all kinds of diseases and cure thousands of poisons. However, it may be difficult to find this person, after all, this person loves mountains and rivers and has no fixed place to live. ”
The dress was a little irritated when she heard this, so she said, "Since it's hard to find, let's go find it quickly, Madame is still waiting on the sickbed." ”
Lu Zheng and Lianyi walked out of the city, along the way, Lianyi was anxious and uneasy, thinking about whether he could find a way to alleviate his wife's illness, if his wife couldn't afford to be sick, his efforts for so long would be all in the water. That's why he can promise Lu Zheng to find a strange formula together, even if it is his last resort.
Lu Zheng has been thinking about the origin of this Mr. Huangfu, who is often like a hermit, living alone in the famous mountains and rivers. And King Qi asked him to ask this person to prove that this person still has the intention of spying on the affairs of the world, and he is not alone and like a hermit.
At this time, the Chang'an city gate has been revealed, Lu Zheng and Lianyi are walking quickly, at this time Lu Zheng looked from afar, several soldiers were stationed at the city gate, at this time Lianyi suddenly stopped, and said: "Lu Changshi, how long will we have to find this person?" If I don't go back for a day, I have to tell Xiangye. ”
"Don't be afraid, if you find a prescription, maybe Yao Xiang will praise you when you go back."
Although the dress was still hesitating, he still followed Lu Zheng to the city gate, Lu Zheng walked up first, and a soldier came up and said, "Please show the guide." ”
Lu Zheng didn't lead the way, so he was about to explain, and the jumper took out the road, and the soldier let go of the road after seeing it. After walking out of the city gate, Lu Zheng said: "Fortunately, the dressie girl led the way, otherwise I would have to argue with these soldiers." ”
Lianyi didn't say much and walked forward, at this time the caravan from the opposite side was resting at the gate of the city, and there were many merchants in Chang'an City who came here from other places to trade, these people were going south and north, and they had seen and heard a lot, and the situation around Chang'an was no more familiar than these people.
Lu Zheng wanted to go up and ask, but the jumpsuit grabbed him and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I don't know where Mr. Huangfu is? lest we seek it with great difficulty. ”
After Lianyi nodded, Lu Zheng had already walked up to the businessmen who were sitting around, and he just spoke: "Where did a few people come from, do you know that there is a Mr. Huangfu?" ”
After hearing this, most of these businessmen shook their heads and muttered: "Who is the Mr. Huangfu in your mouth, and how many Huangfu gentlemen are in this world, do you know?" ”
Lu Zheng has just taken up the post of Changshi now, how can he bear such idleness, but for the sake of finding a doctor for others, he endured this mockery. Then he said: "Mr. Huangfu is in a house outside Chang'an City, have you seen it?" ”
Then everyone sitting around was silent, Lu Zheng saw that no one knew, so he could only turn around and leave, at this time, a businessman who looked extraordinary, a slightly older person, suddenly said: "Mr. Huangfu has never asked about the world, and you went in vain, but why are you looking for this person?" ”
This person's words caused a silence, and those businessmen all looked directly at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng said lightly: "In order to save people, there is no other selfishness, even if Mr. Huangfu does not accept it, I will go." Even if you can only get a word that is beneficial to save people, you can't stop there. ”
Suddenly, Shang Jiazhong cast a puzzled gaze, but the man continued: "I can take you to Mr. Huangfu's house, but I want you to say something to ask for someone." But I can tell you one thing, Mr. Huangfu never helps ordinary people to heal diseases, even if the bid is high, he will not show his medical skills. ”
Lu Zheng nodded, watched this person stand up, pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said, "Let's go, follow me and don't fall behind." ”
Lu Zheng followed behind with the jumpsuit, walked on a narrow road, and crossed the ridges in the countryside, the stream pontoon, and said to the jumpsuit: "It is said that this Mr. Huangfu does not like others to come to visit, why does this person still know Mr. Huangfu's place of residence?" ”
At this time, the businessman in front of him heard Lu Zheng's question, and said: "Mr. Huangfu and I have some involvement, I once funded him to build a bamboo building for him, so he gave me some convenience out of gratitude." However, Mr. Huangfu still adheres to his usual style and does not like the disturbance of the world. ”
When Lu Zheng heard this person say this, he was relieved, since Mr. Huangfu still needed favors, he would give him some and let him be convinced.
And this person said: "With Huangfu as the surname, in fact, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty pharmacist Huangfu Mi, the origin is deep, and now Mr. Huangfu takes the ancestor Huangfu Mi as the ancestor and vigorously studies pharmacy. And his ancestor Huang Fu Mi is a master hidden in the mountains and forests, and Mr. Huang Fu also takes this as an example. ”
Being able to have a relationship with Huangfu Mi and inherit his knowledge, Lu Zheng thought that this person might really have a different way to treat Mrs. Yao's house. Lu Zheng and the jumpsuit followed this person through mountains and rivers, all the way to a place that seemed to be a paradise, and the surrounding scenery made Lu Zheng stunned, it was really a treasure. The peach blossoms are scorching, and the people covering the ground are full of flowing water, flowing down the cliff, like the Milky Way.
Crossing this peach forest, Lu Zheng saw this person stop, pointed to the forest in front of him, and said, "I can only take you here, and you have to go on your own for the rest of the Ruth." Remember that when you meet Mr. Huangfu, you must not be in a hurry. ”
Lu Zheng and Lianyi both nodded, seeing that this person went down the mountain towards the road he came, Lu Zheng said angrily: "I didn't expect that there is such a cave blessed land outside Chang'an City, I'm afraid that even Your Majesty doesn't know about it." The businessman just now is really unusual, and he really has a broad vision, which is worth the trip. ”
"Let's go in and talk about it." Lianyi only came here to ask for a prescription, and she didn't care about the rest. The jumper had already walked into the bamboo forest at this time, and Lu Zheng behind him was also busy following, saying as he walked: "I don't know what Mr. Huangfu's personality is?" We have to be careful what we say. ”
Lianyi said: "Since you are here, how can you return empty-handed." Even if this person doesn't entertain, I will find a prescription for my wife. ”
The two saw a bamboo building in the dense forest, and sure enough, as the merchant said, the bamboo building was built and the surrounding scenery was integrated, as if it was natural, but only the gurgling water, but no traces of people.
At this time, a few piano sounds suddenly came from the pavilion, and then an old man pushed open the bamboo door, the old man was wearing Taoist clothes, his face was kind, and his eyes were sharp. At this time, Lu Zheng bowed and arched his hand: "In Changshi Lu Zheng, come here to visit Mr. Huangfu." ”
"Now that you know my name, it's important, right?"
Lu Zheng didn't expect this person to be so direct, so he said: "I heard that Mr. Huangfu is proficient in medical skills, can you point out the prescription to save people's lives?" ”
"You haven't heard that I am a Taoist who loves mountains and rivers, and has never cared about the world, nor has he ever hung a pot to help the world, and I can't do your business."
At this time, Lian Yi cried directly: "If the master can cure my wife's serious illness, our prime minister will repay it with several times the kindness." Please think about it, master. ”
Lu Zheng saw that the jumpsuit was already crying, so he asked the old man: "It's the person in Yao Xiang's mansion, how can the master turn a blind eye?" ”
The old man was instantly touched, but he still asked, "You said Yao Chong?" Since it is from the Prime Minister's Palace, why not go to the palace doctor to diagnose and treat it, but come here to find a home remedy. ”
"I have used the prescription of this palace imperial doctor, but this disease is too stubborn, and it is not good, so I can only ask the master for help."
The jumper was still crying, but the old man's expression remained the same, and he didn't see the slightest hint of help. Lu Zheng was anxious, so he took a few steps forward and said: "I heard King Qi say that although you don't ask about the world, you are still disconnected from the world, how do you explain this?" Moreover, Yao Xiang is a virtuous minister today, if you don't help him if there is something in his house, won't he be infamous. Besides, master, why are you studying medicine, isn't it just for the sake of the common people. ”
The old man said again at this time: "I have heard that you Lu Zheng is a new minister in front of the current emperor, you have some truth, and my news was also told to you by King Qi, and I decided to help you once." ”
After hearing this, Lianyi explained the symptoms to the old man, and the old man walked into the house and handed over a box of pills to Lianyi. At this time, Lu Zheng still didn't know why the old man helped him, but he thought that it might be because of Xinyi, or that this Mr. Huangfu still had an unbroken relationship with the mortal world.
The old man watched the two of them visit on foot, and before they had eaten, they stayed behind to drink and talk together, and Lu Zheng couldn't refuse this invitation, so he could only sit down and wait for the wine and meat prepared by the old man. At this time, Lu Zheng and Lianyi knew that they had been out of the city for a long time, and there would be trouble, and when the road was dark after dusk, it would be difficult to go down the mountain.
The old man saw that the two of them were leaving, and said, "Lu Zheng is the person recommended by King Qi, so if you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me." ”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he said: "I want to ask the old man about it, what do you think about the stability of the old man here and the mainland?" ”
"You think there will be some small turmoil in the world, and you are worried that it will be unstable, but I can say that everything is in the personnel."
When Lu Zheng heard that everything was in the midst of personnel, he had a lot of thoughts, why did the old man say this, but he was speechless when he looked at the old man, and he didn't ask anything. And the old man seemed to be talking about this long question in a word, so disguised it.
After eating in the bamboo building, Lianyi was anxious about his wife's illness, so he thanked the old man and prepared to go down the mountain, Lu Zheng was also very concerned about the dynamics in Chang'an City today, so he gave all the money he brought to the old man to thank the old man for saving people. And for the old man, it's just a gesture.
