196. Rare books
Xu Xiaole's question is like a copy of "why not eat minced meat". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Yang Chengde should have reacted as soon as possible: If I had the whole book, why not make a fragment! However, after yesterday's compromise, as his knees fell to the ground, Yang Chengde was already full of courage when facing Xu Xiaole, and he couldn't even think of asking a rhetorical question.
Xu Xiaole really didn't know that the whole book of "Neijing" was so rare, and when he heard Yang Chengde say that this book was difficult to find, he wondered: "Is there no one in the bookstore?" β
Yang Chengde swallowed his saliva and said, "It would be nice if there was!" Nowadays, if you want to find the complete copy of the "Neijing", you can only find it in the palace, the imperial hospital, or the famous book collectors. β
"Oh......" Xu Xiaole touched his chin and said, "Lao Chen, you go to my room and bring the two letters of "Su Wen" on the table. β
Chen Mingyuan lost his mind for a moment. He is not like Xu Xiaole who lives in an environment full of books. He knew very well that medical books were so rare that many people were happy to receive two copies of the "Bureau" from the master. It's still all over the street, and you can buy it for money, but it's just a little expensive.
And "Neijing" is not only expensive in death, but also needs chance to encounter. As Yang Chengde said, there are three sources: being able to enter the Tai Hospital is the highest achievement of doctors in the world, and there are no more than 20 people in the country; The palace collection may not be able to see even if you enter the hospital; As for the bibliophiles, they did not lack gold or silver, but only fame. If you want to win the favor of those people, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than entering the Tai Hospital.
Of course, the most rare is "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases". Now only "Typhoid Fever", the part of "Miscellaneous Diseases" has been lost since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and has never appeared again.
Such a rare scripture, Xu Xiaole actually put it on the table in the dormitory!
Shouldn't this book be wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and put it at the bottom of the camphor wood box for future generations?
Xu Xiaole saw that Chen Mingyuan was not moving, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" Go ahead. β
Chen Mingyuan reacted at this time, spread his legs and ran to the dormitory. As soon as he took two steps, he rushed back again: "Sir, the key ......"
Xu Xiaole waved his hand: "Just go, I didn't lock the door." β
Chen Mingyuan was greatly frightened, and his feet were like flying, as if he was going to take a slow step, and the two letters of "Su Wen" would be stolen.
Yang Chengde had already guessed that Xu Xiaole had the whole copy of "Su Wen", but he couldn't believe it, and timidly asked for verification: "Xiao Xu has the whole book of "Su Wen"? β
Xu Xiaole said indifferently: "The twenty-four volumes and eighty-one chapters of "Su Wen", the engraving of the medical book bureau was corrected in the second year of Xining. He added, "There is nothing missing." β
The muscles on Yang Chengde's face couldn't help beating, swallowed his saliva, and said, "You always have it with you?" β
Xu Xiaole said: "As a doctor, you always need to put a few books to decorate the faΓ§ade." β
Yang Chengde's face flushed, and he said, "Doctor Xiao Xu is really extravagant. Nowadays, not to mention the official medical books of the Song Dynasty, even if they are ordinary Song engraving books, they are also counted as money on pages. β
Xu Xiaole touched his chin: "Really?" I memorized it anyway. β
While the two were talking, Chen Mingyuan had already come out with two wooden letters, with a yellowed name note on the lid, and the words "Su Wen" were written.
Xu Xiaole took the wooden letter, pulled the lid, and the smell of camphor filled the air. He took out a copy, and the paper was already brittle and yellow, as if it would shatter in the wind at any moment. Turning the cover open, the word "Su Wen" was written on the title page, and it was clearly and clearly noted on both sides that this was an official book printed by the Correction Medical Book Bureau.
"Well, that's right, it was corrected in the first year of Xining, and it was printed in the third year of Shaosheng." Xu Xiaole raised his head and counted, and said, "Yo, it's been three hundred and fifty-four years now." β
Yang Chengde couldn't help but stand up and walked over, stopped three steps away from Xu Xiaole's table, and stretched his neck to look. Xu Xiaole took it in his hand and showed it to him generously. Then he took it out of the wooden letter, one by one. Each letter is in twelve volumes, a total of twenty-four volumes, which is not at all unpleasant.
Chen Mingyuan and the others were also amazed when they looked at this book. It is not easy for books from more than 350 years ago to be preserved so well today. The book naturally exudes the vicissitudes of history, which makes the viewer feel awe. This small book is like the epitome of great China!
If it is said that a complete set of "Neijing" should be pressed at the bottom of the box and passed on to future generations, then this set of rare books "Neijing" at the bottom of the box is far from enough! A pit should be dug in a hidden place, and then a tree should be planted and passed down from generation to generation as a treasure - and only the eldest son should know about it.
Xu Xiaole put the book back into the wooden letter and said, "The four of you, take some time to copy the book every day." β
"Ahh Chen Mingyuan and the four of them were pleasantly surprised: "Copy "Su Wen"? β
Xu Xiaole said as a matter of course: "Of course, "Lingshu" has not been brought at home. You first copy "Su Wen" separately, and when you finish copying it, you will have a book in your hand, try to memorize it, this year I will only talk about "Su Wen". β
"For us?" Chen Mingyuan asked in a trembling voice.
It was already extra generous to let them copy it, who would have thought that Xu Xiaole would still leave it for them as a teaching material.
Xu Xiaole touched his forehead, and was speechless for this kind of stupid question: "Who are you not going to give it to?" I've memorized it all, do I still need a book? β
The four of them were simply pleasantly surprised.
Cao Bao looked at the two thin pamphlets in his hand, and suddenly felt a deep regret: if he had been timid yesterday, he would not have angered Xu Xiaole if he was scolded by the master. Now I can also have a complete set of "Su Wen...... A complete set of "Su Wen", this chip traitor can be used!
Xu Xiaole stretched: "Where did we go?" Oh yes, reading books is material for studying medicine. To be a good doctor without reading is a fool's dream. β
The more Xu Xiaole emphasized the importance of reading, the more ugly Yang Chengde's face became. He had no way of proving that he had read a bookβhow could he read it if he couldn't find it?
Xu Xiaole felt that he had taught enough in the first lesson, and as soon as he looked up and saw someone at the door, it was Amulin, who he had hired for a long time, so he beckoned him in.
Amulin stepped forward embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm really embarrassed, I'm early." β
Xu Xiaole said: "It's okay, I'll take the apprentice over today." He turned his head to look at the four disciples and said, "Huang Ren, you can come with me." β
Huang Ren was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
Chen Mingyuan, Li Jinfang, and Qin Kang couldn't help but show envy. No one knows what Mr. Xu's criteria for selecting people are, is it because Huang Ren looks stupid? Or is it because he is alone and has no friends?
Xu Xiaole thought: If every time he goes to Amulin's house for treatment, he deliberately ignores Luo Yun, then Uncle Luo will easily become suspicious. Now you can take an apprentice with you as a cover, and you can just find an excuse to break it up. Moreover, among the four apprentices, Li Jinfang and Qin Kang are both from the study of medicine, and Chen Mingyuan's pharmacy is also good, as far as Huang Ren is worse in this regard, he will not suspect that the medicinal materials brought by Xu Xiaole are not right.
