Chapter 17: Spring
Yingzi was surprised and asked, "Huh? What else is he capable of? ”
Lin Qingdai pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "He said several medicinal herbs, all of which we have never heard of. ”
"Really? Yingzi doesn't know much about this medicinal material. ”
"You don't understand medicinal herbs, but you always understand flowers, right? He mentioned the moon flower, remember? ”
"Moon Flowers?" Yingzi thought for a while and said happily: "I remember, he said that it seems that Yuejihua can also be used in medicine." ”
"That's right! He said that stewing roosters with moon flowers can cure the pain of menstruation. Have you ever heard of it before? ”
Yingzi thought for a moment: "I haven't heard of it. ”
"Yes, I haven't heard that Yueji flowers can also be used in medicine."
"Maybe it's their bell doctor's earthwork, it's nothing."
"It's not quite like that," Lin Qingdai said in a low voice: "Because when he said this flavor medicine, he said it casually, it seems that this medicine is commonly used in prescriptions, but I haven't seen any Langzhong doctor use Yueji flowers as medicine." ”
Hearing this, Du Wenhao's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that the Yueji flower was used in medicine, which was first recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty had not yet recognized the medicinal effect of Yueji flower, no wonder it attracted Lin Qingdai's attention. This female shopkeeper has bright eyes and insight.
"This man has traveled in all directions, and perhaps the remedies he has obtained from other places are unknown."
"Well, in addition, he also talked about a medicine. It is called ......, and what is it called corn whiskers, and it is said that it can cure a woman's milk is red and swollen, and her milk is blocked. What is this corn, do you know? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's another name for some medicinal herb."
"That's not right! The original words he said were 'corn in the field can also be used as medicine, such as corn whiskers ......', I remember very clearly, according to his words, this corn should not only be a medicinal herb, but also a kind of crop, have you ever heard of any crops called corn? ”
When Du Wenhao heard this, he also remembered that corn was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no corn in the Song Dynasty. No wonder they don't understand. It seems that in the future, you have to be careful when you speak, don't run the train with your mouth full, and say something modern, so that people will be in trouble if they are monsters.
I heard Yingzi say again: "Maybe it's also their other name for a certain crop, he said some other names for his tricks, which shows his ability." ”
Lin Qingdai's voice lowered, and she said word by word: "He is not pretending to show his ability, but it is likely that he really has the ability!" ”
"Really?"
"Hmmm! Didn't you hear Xue Fei'er come back in the morning and say that the second grandmother of Pang County Lieutenant was terminally ill, and Doctor Qian and the famous doctors in Fucheng were helpless, saying that the second grandmother couldn't survive today, so let them hurry up and prepare for the future. Doctor Qian said that the second grandmother of Pang County Wei can't survive today, but now, it's already the third watch, and there is no crying from the inn, which means that people are fine! If he can survive until tomorrow, it means that the patient can still be saved, as long as his life has been extended for a day, what is this not his ability? Don't such capable people stay sooner and wait for others to snatch them away? ”
"Isn't he still cured, what does it mean if he delays it for a day? Who knows if it can be cured. When he really has the ability to cure, wouldn't it be safer for us to hire him again? ”
"You stupid girl, the icing on the cake is better than sending carbon in the snow, you don't understand this truth? By the time he saved the second grandmother of Pang County Lieutenant, wouldn't he have a reputation? At that time, you begged people to beg people, and it was not necessarily rare for people to give as much money as they wanted. We should take advantage of the time when he is down, we will be good to him, respect him, and sincerely hire him as a master to stay in our store, he will be grateful, and he will really become famous in the future. ”
"Oh, I see. However, in case he really becomes famous, and Jishitang and others hire him to sit in the hall at a high price, we can't compare with Jishitang's financial resources, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not see the money and leave at that time. ”
"No, you can see from the incident of the child's medical treatment last night, he has a good heart and is a person with a conscience."
"Why didn't the lady simply hire him as a sitting doctor?"
"Don't worry, as long as he agrees to stay in the hall, things will be easier to talk about in the future."
"Oh, I see, Madame's move is really good, even if he doesn't heal well, at least he still really understands how to concoct medicinal materials, so it will never be wrong to hire him as a concoction master. If he really has the ability to heal, he can also be hired as a sitting doctor, which is called attacking and retreating, right? Hee-hee"
"What? Do you think the march is going to war? I'm really optimistic about him, come on, it's not too early, go to sleep! ”
Hearing this, Du Wenhao hurriedly lay back on the bed, as if he would be caught and eavesdropped on it too late. Listening to the words of their master and servant, Du Wenhao felt a little proud that he was valued, and he felt a little admired for the shrewdness of the shopkeeper Lin.
After thinking for a while, I continued to read the medical book, but what happened just now was always wandering in my mind, and I couldn't calm down to read for a while, and the night was late, so I simply closed the medical book, took off my hat, took off my robe, and blew out the lantern to sleep.
Lying on the bed, there was no sleepiness for a while, I felt that this tent was very stuffy, it was already late autumn, the sky was already very cold, there was frost at night, there were no mosquitoes for a long time, there was no need to hang this curtain, anyway, he couldn't sleep, he simply got up, unloaded the curtain on the bed, and put it in the Taishi chair in front of the desk, ready to let Yingzi collect it tomorrow.
Without the curtains, I felt much sober, lying on the bed, taking a deep breath, very comfortable.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a ray of light shining through the wall of the black hole, and the light was only a small dot the size of a toothpick, and he was a little strange, if it was a crack in the wooden plank of the wall, it should be a line, how could it be a small dot.
He got up with a bone, leaned in and touched it, found a small protruding bump, rubbed it, felt that it was moving, grabbed it, pulled it gently, and pulled out a small wooden plug the size of a chopstick's head, and a beam of light shot in.
It turned out to be a voyeur hole!
He didn't think about it, curiously put his eyes up to take a look, and suddenly felt his mouth dry and his blood surged.
It turned out that looking through this small hole, it turned out to be the bedroom of the maid Yingzi!
I heard Lin Qingdai say that this shop was brought over by her from someone else's hand, and the empty wooden cork was stuffed in from the study, so it must be the spring hole left by the previous owner of this pharmacy in the study.
This hole is a flower shelf, the location of the hole is under the flower stand, very hidden, directly opposite is Yingzi's bed, at this moment, Yingzi is standing next to the bed and stripping dress, only a scarlet close-fitting clothes are left on the upper body, the figure is a little thin and thin, but the skin is snow-white like clotted fat, the two arms are like lotus roots, and the pants are untied and the pants are peeled down, and the half bulging snow-white **** is revealed as the pants fade down.
Du Wenhao couldn't help but snort softly, and Yingzi in the room seemed to hear the movement, hurriedly lifted his pants, and turned his head to look over.
Du Wenhao hurriedly turned to one side, hid beside him, his heart jumped up, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement next door. However, this hole is under the flower shelf, and you can't see it if you don't get closer and bend down to take a closer look, let alone be so far away. Sure enough, I didn't hear the footsteps of Yingzi coming, and after a while, the light went out at once, presumably Yingzi next door blew out the light and went to sleep.
Du Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped the sight of his master, and hurriedly stuffed the small wooden plug in his hand, pressed it, and then lay back on the bed to sleep.
After sleeping for a while, I always felt that my heart was not steady, the curtain was taken, and the hole in the back was only afraid that it would be exposed, if Lin Qingdai's master and servant found this hole and thought that it was dug by herself, then it would be wronged, and it was better to hang the curtain back.
He got up again, hung the curtain back up, and then lay back into bed, and slept with his eyes closed. He felt very tired, and despite the excitement of the day's many adventures, he quickly fell asleep.
