Chapter 40: The Mystery of Medicine

Wan Qianmei saw that Sima Cuo was whipped by Yao Shiguan and looked like she was covered in bruises, and wanted to go out. Sima scolded in his injury: "You come back, don't regenerate right and wrong." ”

Wan Qimei paused at the door after hearing this, and went to the other room next door to sulk alone. Sima Cuo hinted to Mo Si to take a look, and Mo Si saw that Wan Qimei did not leave the inn, so he came back and pouted to Sima Cuo in the room next to him.

Sima Cuo motioned for Mo Si to come closer, and he whispered to Mo Si: "This time Murong Cheng was able to come forward and let Li Hu let me go, it was not that he was benevolent, he was eyeing the five hundred stone grain." Be clever and go to the Jade Distillery to buy wine and tell the princess that the food may be targeted."

After Mo Si got the order, he went to the jade brewery to buy wine. I never thought that Li Hu's people on the street had not withdrawn, and they were patrolling around, and when they arrived at the jade brewery, they saw Yu Wenlan chatting with Wen Renyu, Mo Si had to step forward and say: "Wen Ren Niang, come two catties of osmanthus thick wine." ”

Wen Renyu scooped two catties of osmanthus from the inside and handed them to Mo Sidao in the pottery urn: "How is the pavilion chief, the injury is not serious, right?" ”

"Xie Wenren's wife cares, it is not in the way, Mr. Zhuge said to rest for a few days, and it will be good if the wound scabs and falls off."

"That's good, don't pay for the wine this time, and be the head of the comfort pavilion."

Mo Si saw that Yu Wenlan was staring closely, staring intently at the pottery urn that was handed over to Wen Renyu, knowing that it was not appropriate to say more, and going back first to make plans, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of Wen Ren's lady, I will definitely tell the pavilion chief."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Yu Wenlan to come up and say: "Mo Si, when you were at the inn, you often teased and laughed with me, and you didn't even say hello today?" ”

Mo Si had no choice but to smile and say: "At that time, Mo didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he didn't know that Yuwen Niangzi was a true Buddha, so he was lazy. ”

Yu Wenlan smiled: "Just kidding, let's go, I'll take a look at my old patron too." ”

So, Mo Si returned to the Barberry Inn with Yuwenlan nervously, and as soon as he entered the door, Yuwenlan looked east and west, and muttered: "It's so kind to come here!" Pavilion Chief, I'm coming back to see you! ”

Sima Cuo was lying in the inner room, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but be shocked, Mo Si had already led Yu Wenlan in. Sima Cuo was a little unable to move on the couch, and said with a breath: "Yuwen Niang, it's been a long time, thank General Murong for relieving the siege and sparing my life." ”

"Where! Where! I was at the inn, and the pavilion chief took a lot of care of me. Therefore, when I learned that the pavilion chief was trapped, I asked General Murong to come forward. ”

Sima Cuo was moved to tears on the couch and said, "Thank you Yuwen Lady, thank you General Murong." I never thought that I would be kind to others, and the disaster came out of my mouth, offended General Li Hu, and suffered this fate. ”

"Pavilion chief, it's all a misunderstanding, General Li Hu is also anxious, he wants to find out who did thistle, I hope the pavilion chief doesn't blame him."

"Yuwen Niangzi, that tribulus terrestris has been used in all dynasties, and a few iron thistles left behind are nothing."

"But how can it be so coincidental that there is an iron thistle at this time, and the iron thistle is very new, not like the previous utensils?"

Sima Cuo pondered a little: "Oh! So according to what the lady said, there are indeed people who are making a stumbling block in Qinglong Town? ”

Yu Wenlan nodded slightly to answer, and then asked: "Pavilion Chief, Nalan only transported 500 stones of grain to Tongguan that time, and there are any clues about the whereabouts of the other 500 stones?" ”

Sima Cuo replied quite calmly: "That night, our grain guards were all drugged, and I really don't know who transported the grain. At first we thought you had taken it away. Could it really not be your General Murong who did it? ”

Yu Wenlan said with some contempt: "Can we use such inferior means? ”

Sima Cuo hurriedly replied with a smile: "That's, that's!" ”

"Pavilion chief, pay more attention to the whereabouts of these grains, with our relationship, if you have eyebrows, it will be your great achievement to get the grain."

"Thank you Yuwen for your care, I will do my best. If you really can't find it, don't blame it. ”

"Haha! The pavilion chief really didn't leak anything when he spoke. The Sima family has been entrenched here for more than 200 years. ”

"Where, where, if it weren't hereditary, I really wouldn't want to be the head of this pavilion."

"That is, if it weren't for this, the pavilion chief would have already made steady progress. Haha, okay Pavilion Chief, your shopkeeper has other things, so I'll leave first, and I will inevitably ask the Pavilion Manager for help in the future, so don't shirk. ”

Sima Coo arched his hand on the couch and said: "Yuwen Niangzi is serious, it's easy to go!" ”

After Yu Wenlan left, Mo Si replied: "She is waiting in front of the princess shop, I can't say." The streets were also full of Li Hu's soldiers, patrolling around, eyeing each other. ”

The princess will understand when she sees this. Don't make any more troubles. Tell Li Dao, Wan Buddha and others, don't make trouble, be honest. ”

Mo Si bowed his hand and retreated.

At this time, Wan Qianmei walked in, the two were silent for a long time, and Wan Qianmei said, "Is the granary reliable?" Haven't used it for so many years. ”

Sima said wrongly: "When I built back to Luocang, I built a few small warehouses in Cuihan and other places, and I was also prepared for emergencies, so it should be no problem." ”

"But the granaries are underground."

"Those craftsmen made careful consideration, and the location of the granary was on a hill with no water veins in the north. After digging the hole first, the fire began to burn on the day of the sting, and it was baked for 7749 days, and the water in the soil layer was dried and burned into a huge pottery urn, and then the inside was coated with thick green paste mud, and after it was dried, it was lined with dry wooden boards, so that the grain was stored and it was not in the way for hundreds of years. ”

"Where the hell is the barn?"

"How many times have you asked me, and I told you before that the barn is known only to the princess."

"Hmph, princess, princess, hasn't the princess blown the wind on your ears?"

"Madam, I'm injured today, and I don't want to argue with you, so go back to the old mansion first......"

In recent years, the three of Linghu Zhao in Jing'an are mostly busy around An Shaoshuai, serving him quite comfortably and getting along with each other.

One night, Ling Hu Yan came to Nangong Han's side again, and Nangong Han thought she was going to get up at night, so he got up and prepared to accompany her. Ling Hu Yan held him down, he was about to struggle again, Ling Hu Yan said, "What are you afraid of as a man?" ”

"What's the matter? Say it. ”

"Brother Nangong, are you really Langzhong?"

"I studied medicine at the age of 13 and was able to practice medicine on my own at the age of 16. The last time you were in Qinglong Town, I didn't cure you. ”

"Oh, too. Do you know about women? ”

"Nonsense, there are no less than a thousand people in my hands."

"Then why don't you come here to treat people?"

"Can it be revealed? Besides, if this skill is to be revealed, if I am sent to the rebels to be a doctor, will it not heal the enemy and harm my own people? ”

"Oh! I understand something. In addition, let me tell you, Brother Nangong, my ...... That"

"Which one the hell?"

"Didn't you say you knew about women?"

"You mean menstrual ......"

"Well, for some reason, it's been three months."

"Come, I'll take your pulse." So Ling Huyan handed over his right hand, Nangong Han pressed it for a moment, and then asked Ling Huyan to hand over his left hand. Ling Huyan asked, "Isn't it a man on the left and a woman on the right?" ”

"At first glance, it's a silly girl's family. The left and right hands have their own intentions? ”

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Don't talk yet, I'll take a closer look." After a while, he said: "Xu is that in the past year, you and Uncle Linghu have been sleeping in the open all the way, and your qi and blood have been deficient, coupled with the stagnation of liver qi, which has caused your menstrual affairs to stop." ”

"How?"

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the pharmacy opposite to grab a few pairs of medicine to eat."

"Brother Nangong, it's not a big problem, right? I'm still unmarried! ”

"It's not a big problem, don't worry, just replenish your qi and blood and dredge your liver qi."

"Thank you so much."

"Under the house, say thank you, go back to the couch and rest. I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning to help you get your medicine. ”

"Well, good! But you haven't told me yet, what's the difference between the left and right hand pulses? ”

Nangong Han yawned and said: "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think, the left hand inch, guan, and ruler represent the heart, liver, and kidneys respectively; The right hand represents the lungs, spleen, stomach, and kidneys. If the pulse of your right hand is weak and weak, it must be a weakness of qi and blood, and the left hand is tight, combined with your daily life, the diagnosis will come out. ”

"Brother Nangong, I want to study medicine with you, will I teach me?"

"I'm too sleepy, go back to your couch. Ahh ”

"Hmph, if you don't want to, you won't, what's the big deal."

"Well, it's not a big deal, I'll get you the medicine tomorrow."

……

The next day, Nangong Han went to the only pharmacy opposite to buy medicine for Ling Huyan, and Lang Zhong in the pharmacy was embarrassed when he saw the medicine, and said: "Xianggong, your prescription is to treat women's menopause, the prescription is a good prescription, but there are two flavors that are not complete." Sichuan oxknee and citrus aurantium, the two southern medicines, can't get over because of this big war. ”

Without these two flavors, the role of quoting scriptures is lost. If you don't have it, you can't do it, you can catch a few other flavors for me first, and if there is no menstrual medicine, I'll find a way. ”

After grabbing the medicine back, Ling Hu Yan happily stepped forward to take the medicine and was about to go to the kitchen to boil it, but Nangong Han said lukewarmly: "There are still two flavors of menstrual medicine, if there is no menstrual introduction of these two flavors, you may need to use a stone to dredge your liver meridian to take effect." ”

"Where is the liver meridian?"

Nangong Han didn't make a sound, and gestured with his hand from his eyes to his armpits.

Ling Huyan was so frightened that she put her hands on her chest, leaned over and said, "I don't want to shave, let's take medicine first." ”

"That's it."

At this time, An Shaoshuai passed by from behind, and occasionally heard his heart, so he stepped forward and said: "Linghu Niang, what kind of disease do you have to take medicine?" ”

Ling Hu Yan didn't dare to make a sound, Nangong Han stepped forward and arched his hand: "Young marshal, clumsy Jing is weak in qi and blood. ”

"I've been bothering you so much these days. I just heard from the two of you, what medicine is missing? Although, I'll help find a way to get some back from Luoyang. ”

"I'm really sorry to bother the young marshal. No, there is a lack of two flavor adjuvants, which are not in the way. ”

"Mr. Nangong, this is polite, two flavors of medicine, trivial things, what to say. You husband and wife take care of Ben Shuai wholeheartedly, and I am not a grass and tree. Tell me, which two flavors of medicine? If you give me the prescription, I'll have someone buy all the prescriptions from Luoyang. ”

"Just bother the young marshal to find some citrus aurantium shells and Sichuan oxknee."

"What's so polite with me? Quickly get the prescription, I will go to Luoyang to get medicine, the medicine in Luoyang is better than here. ”

Nangong Han didn't dare to disobey, hurriedly took a pen and paper from the counter, and wrote the prescription medicine on it respectfully.

An Shaoshuai handed the prescription to his entourage and said to Nangong Han: "I didn't expect that Boss Nangong would also see a doctor, I really don't dare to underestimate it." Why don't you give Ben Shuai a pulse, how about it? ”

"Young marshal, contemptible people only have some headaches and brain fever, I really don't understand it too well, but I'm afraid I will mistake the young marshal."

"Mr. Nangong, if you are modest, you will not give face to Ben Shuai."

"How dare you, how dare you, that contemptible person is ugly, if there is a mistake, I hope the young marshal will not blame!"

"Ben Shuai promises you that he will never blame."

"Okay, please sit down."

Nangong Han checked the pulse of Young Marshal An's left and right hands, then looked at the tongue coating and complexion, got up and arched his hand: "Has the young marshal been a little upset and sleepless recently, dry mouth, short urination and other symptoms. ”

An Shaoshuai slapped it on the table, with an angry face, Nangong Han hurriedly apologized: "Contemptible people are shallow in learning, mistaken young marshal, please be gracious, young marshal be gracious." At this time, Ling Huyan, who was on the side, hurriedly knelt down and said: "My father-in-law doesn't know the depths, and I ask the young marshal to spare him." ”

Unexpectedly, An Shaoshuai suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said: "Quickly excuse me, excuse me, Mr. Nangong said that Ben Shuai has indeed been upset and sleepless recently, and please ask Mr. to prescribe a prescription to solve my problem." ”

Nangong Han and Ling Huyan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and Nangong Han said: "This matter is not difficult, I will write a prescription and ask the young marshal to send someone to get some medicine back, take a few doses, and it will be fine." After speaking, he gave a prescription and handed it to the young marshal.

After he took it, he said with a pleasant face: "If Mr. Fang is effective, please ask Mr. to follow Ben Shuai in the future, right?" ”

"The young marshal, contemptible and talented, will only have some headaches and brain fever, and he doesn't dare to be high, so he can cook some meals for the young marshal and take care of his daily life."

"Don't be modest, but be at your mercy."

……

In the evening, Nangong Han went to the firewood room to discuss and analyze with Ling Huzhao. Nangong Han told Ling Huzhao that in the prescription given to An Shaoshuai, although it is a medicine that clears the heart and removes troubles, ordinary people can't see the way, but after reusing the cold medicine, the symptoms can be solved, but it can also hurt Yang.

Linghu Zhao said: "You won't use cinnabar and other things, right?" A little bit of common sense can be seen. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, ordinary people won't see it, and besides, if he doesn't go to the doctor himself, the people in the pharmacy won't be so fine. I have carefully probed An Shaoshuai's pulse, and there is a void in the truth, taking this cold medicine, even if I have a heart fire first, if I tempt him with a woman, within four or five years, if I don't correct it, my kidney yang will not be guaranteed. ”

"You're clever at this trick, but then we're all mixed in. What if Yan'er shows her true face and is targeted by him? ”

"Yes! I'm worried about that, too. Therefore, it must be arranged cleverly and there must be no flaws. ”

"How is this cleverly arranged?"

"An Shaoshuai has set his sights on me, if he takes the medicine effectively this time, he will have the opportunity to follow him, and he will be able to break into them."

"It's your spy's business for you to break into its interior, and Ling Huyan and I just want to get out quickly."

"Uncle, now they are all in the same boat, how to get out, the only way to get out is to break the kettle and sink the boat......"

Linghu Zhao was silent.

A few days later, the medicine was recovered from Luoyang. The young marshal and his entourage watched Nangong Han check the medicinal materials for a moment, soaked and decocted the medicine, and after the decoction was done, the entourage also drank a small bowl in person, before reporting to Young Marshal An, after he went downstairs, he looked at the entourage, the entourage bowed his head, picked up the medicine and wanted to drink, and suddenly put down the bowl again, and said: "Mr. Nangong, please give me the medicine of Ling Jing."

Nangong Han carefully showed him Ling Huyan's decoction, thinking that he was just looking at it. Unexpectedly, he took the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Shocked, Nangong Han didn't know why, and said: "Young marshal, the medicine of the clumsy Jing is indeed not suitable for you, but I am afraid that you will be even more upset and sleepless tonight." ”

"Don't get in the way, Mr. Nangong, as long as Linghu Niangzi also drinks my decoction, I will take it as you want tomorrow."

Nangong Han immediately understood that this was a temptation, and immediately called Ling Huyan over and said, "Quick, try the medicine for the young marshal." Without waiting for Ling Hu Yan to understand, he held her chin and drank half and poured a bowl of medicine.

Ling Hu Yan choked and coughed. An Shaoshuai laughed and went upstairs.
