Chapter 268: Visit

Xie Yun'er relayed Zhu Ye's description of King Ningkang's illness to Shen Xi, and Shen Xi could basically judge that it was tuberculosis, which is commonly known as tuberculosis.

The disease is basically unsolvable in these years.

In Shen Xi's view, at least before the invention of streptomycin, tuberculosis was difficult to treat, and one of the several prescriptions for treating lung diseases that Shen Xi knew came from the Qianjinsha formula used by his college classmates when they were children.

But later it was clinically proven that this prescription completely cured the patient only in an individual case, but it was completely possible for the patient to disappear or significantly reduce symptoms such as fatigue, cough, and fever after taking it for ten days and a half.

Shen Xi thinks that his medical knowledge is not as good as Xie Yun'er, who has been immersed in medical books since he was a child, and he doesn't want to get an axe in the class. But when Xie Yun'er asked him tightly, he still explained carefully, such as the lamb marrow raw ground soup, white fungus pigeon egg custard, soft-shelled turtle nourishing yin soup, Sydney pear spinach root soup and the dosage and dosage, as well as the usual maintenance, etc., Xie Yun'er solemnly recorded them all.

Although Shen Xi said that many Xie Yun'er knew something, but more of it was unheard of, she had always humbly studied in order to make progress, and this time was no exception, keeping all the new knowledge firmly in her heart.

In the evening, Xie Yuner went back to discuss with her family about going to Nanchang.

In the end, the Xie family decided to let Xie Yun'er's father, Xie Bolian, accompany his daughter to Nanchang, although Xie Bolian has now lost the ability to diagnose people, but with his understanding of medical knowledge and rich clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, he can provide some reference opinions around Xie Yuner.

When seeing him off, Shen Xi finally met Zhu Chenhao, who was competing for the throne with Zhu Houzhao after more than 20 years and was currently temporarily crowned King Gao as the prince of King Ning, as well as his concubine, the daughter of the Shangrao Lou clan in Jiangxi. That is, the famous talented woman Lou Suzhen, who has an intersection with the merry and talented Tang Bohu.

Lou is also Zhu Chenhao's concubine.

Lou Suzhen is gentle and graceful, she is from a scholarly family, and her grandfather is the great thinker Lou Liang of the Ming Dynasty, who is also the enlightening teacher of the mind of the famous physicist Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty. Lou Suzhen's father is Lou Chen, Langzhong of the military department. Lou Chen is Lou Liang's eldest son, and Lou Suzhen is Lou Liang's eldest granddaughter.

Lou Suzhen was born in a famous family, and since she was a child, she was married to Zhu Chenhao, the son of King Ning.

Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw it, a famous generation of virtuous women in history. actually married King Ning, a stupid man who only had ambition and no hard work, and finally ended up committing suicide by throwing himself into the river.

"Sister, just rest assured, we are watching the affairs at home, you and Ling Zun are careful on the road. If you have something, remember to send a letter, and the Chamber of Commerce will take care of it, no matter whether you are short of money or medicinal materials, my sister will find a way to ......"

Hui Niang took Shen Xi out to see him off, while the Zhou family had to stay at the pharmacy. This is not the first time Xie Yun'er has traveled far away, the last time she went to Huai'an to pick up her grandfather and father who had been released from prison. Let Zhou talk about it for a few days, Shen Xi thought to himself, the old lady is going to "keep the empty boudoir" in the pharmacy again, and she will definitely urge him to study to find sustenance.

It's definitely not going to be easy......

Seeing Xie Yun'er away, Hui Niang was going to take Shen Xi back, but she suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Xiaolang, at noon today, Aunt Zuodong invited Su Gongzi and others to eat wine in the wine shop, you go over and have a look." It's rare for your mother to be accommodating. If you go out and walk more, if you can relax your mind, it may be good for you to study in the future. ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Listen to my aunt, you don't believe that I will show talent this time?" ”

Hui Niang said angrily: "Auntie doesn't mean this." My aunt just said that you will be a scholar in the future, won't you take the entrance exam? Aunt wishes you would be the champion now, and then take your mother to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and let your mother be the lady of the fate. ”

Shen Xi smiled and muttered to himself, "You want to be the Lady of the Commandment, right?" ”

But he didn't say this in front of Hui Niang, and there was only more than half a month left before the hospital exam. He didn't want to go to the dark with Su Tong and the others, but now he felt that Su Tong was okay, at least temporarily able to save him from the clutches of the Zhou family. Zhou knew that Shen Xi came out of the literary meeting today, and thought that he could let Shen Xi relax without delaying his studies, so he agreed. Otherwise, Shen Xi was only allowed to walk around the yard twice at most to take a breath.

When Shen Xi arrived at the "Champion Residence", it was not yet noon, and the restaurant on the second floor was already full of friends.

Shen Xi couldn't help but speak, Hui Niang was still worried that the business was not good, but it had only been more than two months, and the business of this wine shop was so good that not only the scholars came to patronize, but even the ordinary people flocked to it.

The hot pot of Zhuangyuanju is affordable and has a lot of food, and the way to eat it is very novel, it has only been out for less than two months, and some people in the city have begun to imitate it recently, but the imitators have not yet obtained the essence.

"Our Shen family's shopkeeper is here, haha, come and come Brother Shen, come and have two drinks together."

Su Tong happily pulled Shen Xi to the private room on the second floor, which was also specially proposed by Shen Xi, mainly considering that some wealthy people came to eat and did not want to be with those peddlers and pawns, which was also inspired by Shen Xi's previous establishment of a private seat when he ran a tea house.

Su Tong asked Shen Xi to sit down in the window seat, so that it could be cooler, "If it weren't for Brother Shen's relationship, it would not be easy for us to book a private room in this champion residence, so I will introduce you to a few more people today." ”

Su Tong will bring new friends out every time, these people may not necessarily be candidates, but they are basically the same age as Su Tong, and they are reasonable to learn, not the kind of people who are indiscriminate.

These people are okay in terms of conversation and temperament, but that is to others, to Shen Xi, these people are often a little perfunctory, Shen Xi is also self-aware, he is a ten-year-old head of the government examination case, and has become a "child of someone else's family", which is equivalent to offending the entire Tingzhou Mansion readers, and is regarded as a "rival" by these readers.

Su Tong had a little pride on his face: "Everyone, let go of your stomach and eat as you like, today is a banquet for the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, it all depends on the face of our brother Shen......"

These scholars were a little impatient just now, Shen Xi didn't come, the banquet couldn't be held, many people just heard about the hot pot banquet, but they hadn't tasted it in person, and they were preparing to feast this time.

When I heard that I didn't need money, I still ate openly, so I naturally ordered meat dishes. I'm not so keen on vegetarian food. What is delicious about soaking the green vegetables with water, since you come to the wine store, of course, you want big fish and meat, but unfortunately there are not many types of meat in Zhuangyuanju. And they are all cut into slices or small pieces, and after entering the water, it seems to melt.

Fish fillet, pork, chicken, duck, mutton on a plate, wine constantly, between the banquet, a bunch of people make it uncomfortable to drink. There is nothing to discuss the appearance of learning. Shen Xi thought while eating: "Fortunately, the old lady didn't come, otherwise when she saw this, she wouldn't have asked me to go out next time." ”

Full of wine and food, Su Tong felt that he was not happy, but at this time he was already a little drunk, Zheng Qian came over to help him and said, "Shen Gongzi, I am going to help Brother Su go back to rest, can you go along?" ”

"Me?"

Shen Xi thought about it, after returning home, he would be locked up and study, or stay outside and be at ease.

Su Tong said drunkenly at this time: "Brother Shen." Come home with me, I have all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings at home, you can pick whatever you like, and take which one you like. In the evening we went to Miss Xi'er and had a few more drinks, and she promised me to come to her room for a few days......"

As he spoke, he tilted his head, and the person was already unconscious.

Shen Xi thought to himself, this Sutong wine is acceptable. It's just that he is a little arrogant, and last time he used the strength of alcohol to argue with Gao Chong's gang, so that he was beaten. If you think about it, you can go to Sutong's house to have a look. Anyway, he hasn't visited Su Mansion, this Su family has a big business, and the environment at home should be good.

Zheng Qian helped Su Tong into the carriage, and then jumped up to catch the carriage in person, to say that although Zheng Qian was also born in a rich family, he was divided into groups. There aren't many shelves either.

Shen Xi sat beside the carriage and carefully looked at the road ahead, for fear that Zheng Qian would drink two more glasses, because the "drunk driver" drove the carriage into the ditch next to the street.

When he arrived at the gate of Sufu, Shen Xi looked up and saw that the lintel alone was amazing.

The Su family is not an official mansion, the gate must be leveled, but the door is very spacious, although it is an old house, but it has been renovated, and when you enter it, the pavilions and corridors are scattered, and the courtyard is neat, this house has at least five or six courtyards, which is much more spacious than the new house of the Shen family.

"Your master has drunk too much, so I specially helped him back to rest." Zheng Qian said, personally helping Su to go inside, the housekeeper next to him wanted to help, Zheng Qian waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to.

When he arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, the housekeeper naturally stopped, and only the lord and his wife could enter the inner courtyard of the big house, and of course the guests invited by the lord could also enter.

At this moment, two women dressed as women walked out of the moon gate of the inner courtyard, the one in front looked older, about twenty years old, with a straight belly, obviously pregnant, and she was followed by a woman who looked like a maid, but was actually wearing gold and silver, holding the woman in one hand and a handkerchief in the other.

"Madam, I sent your father-in-law back." Zheng Qian had a weird smile on his face.

The woman saluted first, then noticed a young man standing next to her, and thought for a while before asking, "Could this be the Shen Gongzi that her husband often mentions?" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly saluted, and his attitude was much more respectful than that of Zheng Qianlai. Zheng Qian nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The woman was very happy: "I didn't expect the concubine to be lucky enough to see Shen Gongzi's face, and the husband often mentioned it, always feeling that Shen Gongzi refused to come to the house as a guest." Xiao An, please invite the two sons to sit inside......"

The woman known as "Xiao An" hurriedly led the way in front.

Shen Xi followed behind, but he was thinking in his heart, Su Tong had just passed the government examination in the first year, and he had said that he was going to take a concubine, could it be that this "Xiao An" was the concubine he had just accepted?

The posture is barely eye-catching, or a woman from a small family who doesn't know the rules very well, and looks very restrained when she walks, or because of a woman with small feet, she walks upside down.

Hui Niang is also small-footed, and her walking is much more practical than this woman.

When she got inside, Mrs. Su helped Zheng Qian help Su Tong to lie down in the back room, and then came out to entertain the two guests, but she was a woman after all, and she went inside after saying a few words, and then a maid brought the fragrant tea over, which was taken by Xiao An, kneeling down and putting the tea on the small square table on the mat, and then the person stood up and walked out lightly.

Outside the house, Xiao An walked awkwardly, but in the house, it seemed that he had been taught by a special person.

Zheng Qian was so hot all the way that he couldn't help but pick up the banana fan on the table and slap it twice, but his eyes didn't leave Xiao An, who had just walked to the door:

"Shen Gongzi, you must wonder why she walks unsteadily, it is because her feet are small, you don't know that those little feet may not even be two inches...... Tsk......"

Shen Xi glanced at Zheng Qian with a complicated gaze: "How does Zheng Gongzi know?" ”

Zheng Qian smiled awkwardly: "Of course I heard what Brother Su said, he likes to praise the concubine he just married in front of people." ”
