————————————————————————————-

The houses in the backyard are divided into two opposite places, one side is the bungalow, which is the shopkeeper's residence, the kitchen, the workshop for concocting medicinal materials, and the warehouse for stacking medicinal materials. On the other side, there is a small two-story building, and below it is the reception hall, which is used to discuss business and welcome guests. There are two rooms upstairs with a corridor at the back. The one at the top of the stairs is the study, a large suite inside, the outer room is where the maid Yingzi lives, and the inner room is where the shopkeeper Lin Qingdai lives.

There is a red lantern hanging at the entrance of Yingzi's staircase, and the light has been lit in the study. In front of the door is an antique Nanmu long plan, a pen holder on the desk hangs brushes of different sizes, and an inkstone exudes a faint ink fragrance. In the other corner, a stack of white papers is neatly stacked.

Behind the desk is a Taishi chair, the armrests are bent into a beautiful curve, and there is a square light red cushion on the chair, Du Wenhao reached out and touched it, it was soft and hard.

Next to and behind, there are two long rows of bookshelves, which are full of neatly arranged wire-bound books, and the maid Yingzi should clean them every day, and the bookshelves are spotless.

There is an eight-step bed in the middle, hung with a cyan curtain, the crescent hook is pulled up on both sides, the sheets and bedding are brand new, and the pillow with a dry juhua core is bulging, exuding a faint juhua fragrance.

On one side of the bed, against the wall, is a large wardrobe, and in the corner of the room is a one-person high flower stand, on which is placed a pot of spider plants. On the side of the courtyard is a row of windows, the carved lattices of which are covered with white paper. One of the doors was open, and Du Wenhao walked over to take a look, facing the courtyard below where they had concocted medicinal materials just now. Under the window are two chairs, and a coffee table in the middle, which are also made of antique nanmu.

Such furniture should be worth a lot of money in the modern society where Nanmu is scarce, but in the Song Dynasty, ordinary people had it, and it was not a rare thing.

There was a door on the back side, the two rooms were connected, but now closed, and in front of the door was a long desk with two pots of flowers.

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Doctor Du, are you still satisfied with this accommodation?" ”

Du Wenhao looked around and said with a smile: "It's really good, thank you for the shopkeeper." ”

"You're welcome, if you need anything, just call Yingzi, we live next door. Well, it's getting late, so let's get some rest. ”

Lin Qingdai and Yingzi went out.

Du Wenhao is very novel, this is the first time to really live in an ancient family, and it is a world of difference compared to the guest house last night. Lying on the bed on his back, smelling the faint fragrance of juhua flowers, I felt very warm in my heart. Suddenly, I heard the sound of small footsteps at the door, and hurriedly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

It turned out that Yingzi came in, carrying a wooden barrel, which was steaming, smiled at Du Wenhao, walked to the corner of the house, took off the wooden basin for washing his face, and when he reached half a basin of water, he turned around and said, "Doctor Du, please wash up." Do you have face towels? No I'm going to get it. ”

"Yes, yes!" Du Wenhao said busily, he could use the towel given by Xue Fei'er in the morning.

"Well, the wooden basin under the washstand is a footbasin. After washing, tell me to pour water. ”

"Thank you, Miss Yingzi!"

"Hehe, I'm a little girl, I don't need to be polite to the girl, just call me Yingzi."

Yingzi walked out and gently closed the door.

Du Wenhao washed his face with the fragrant towel sent by Xue Fei'er, poured the footwater, brought it to the desk, sat on the chair to wash his feet, the water was a little hot, waited for the water to be cold, nothing happened left and right, shook his head and looked around in novelty, and took a book from the shelf. The book was very thick, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be a bookcase that resembled a thick folder, with a slipknot tied with a thin thread on one side.

Gently pull open the slipknot and unfold the book folder, which is neatly stacked with several books, light blue book cover, and a few words "Divine Doctor's Universal Salvation Prescription" printed on the cover!

Du Wenhao was surprised and delighted, he knew that this book was a collection of prescriptions ordered by Emperor Song Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty to collect and sort out thousands of medical books, with a total of 1,000 volumes! However, due to the large number of scrolls, it was later lost. I didn't think I'd see it here now. This is a treasure, this book contains all kinds of prescriptions from all dynasties before the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although he studied Chinese medicine with his uncle and studied Chinese medicine at the medical university, the prescriptions have been handed down to this day, and no one can remember them, only some commonly used ones, and then temporarily increase or decrease according to the symptoms during clinical time.

He didn't bother to wash his feet, so he stood in front of the bookshelf with his shoes on, and looked through them with joy to see what other treasures were there. Most of the two rows of bookshelves are filled with a variety of medical techniques, most of which are brand new printed editions. After all, the book has only been written for decades at this time, and there has been no major war that has affected the whole country, and this book is all engraving and printing, and it should be available in the general market, so it has not been lost at this time.

He continued to look through it, and found "Taiping Shenghui Fang" on the bookshelf, which was compiled into a book by Wang Huaiyin and others in the edict of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, with a total of 100 volumes and more than 16,000 prescriptions, which is a medical book with a complete system of reason, law, prescription and medicine.

In addition, I also found "Kaibao New Detailed Materia Medica", "Kaibao Redetermined Materia Medica", "Jiayou Supplement Shennong's Materia Medica", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing Su Wen", "New School Preparation Urgent Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and so on, most of which are medical books that have been lost in modern times.

The Northern Song Dynasty attached great importance to the compilation of medical books, and soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial decree solicited and acquired medical books for collation and revision. In the second year of Jiayou, Song Renzong adopted the suggestion of the privy envoy Han Qi, and set up a correction medical book bureau in the editorial center, gathering a group of famous doctors to correct the important medical books of the past dynasties. After the emperor reviewed and agreed, it was handed over to the Guozijian for engraving and publishing. Therefore, there were many medical skills in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the study of the small pharmacy of Shopkeeper Lin's house could be filled with two shelves of medical books.

However, having medical books and understanding medical skills are completely different things, and no matter how many medical books you have, if you don't understand medical skills, it will be in vain.

Du Wenhao also found a copy of "Ou Xiangfan's Five Organs Diagram" on the shelf, which is also a medical book that has been lost in modern times. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the local government of Guangxi executed 56 rebels and dissected the chest and abdomen of the deceased.

The knowledge of human anatomy in this book is full of errors in the eyes of Du Wenhao, a modern traveler who has studied anatomy systematically from modern medical universities, but at that time, it was at the leading level in the world.

Du Wenhao was most happy that he had found many prescription monographs, and this was what he lacked the most, so he took a copy of "Divine Doctor's General Salvation Prescription", sat back in his chair, read it with great interest, and even forgot to wash his feet, until Yingzi knocked on the door and asked him if he had finished washing, he remembered, hurriedly washed his feet, and Yingzi brought out the water. Du Wenhao bolted the door, put a round stool on the side of the bed, took the lantern on the desk and put it on the side of the bed, leaned on the head of the bed, and looked at it carefully.

After calming down, I vaguely heard a voice next door, it was Lin Qingdai and the maid Yingzi talking. He didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but on the other side of the wall where his bed was leaning was Lin Qingdai's bedroom, and he couldn't listen to it if he wanted to. Fortunately, the next door spoke very softly and inaudibly, but it did not affect his reading.

After watching for a while, I suddenly heard the second girl next door vaguely mention her name, my heart moved, I sat up, listened attentively, I couldn't hear it really, I simply put my ear on the wall, and now I heard it more clearly. I only heard Yingzi say in a low voice: "Madam, why do you give Dr. Du such a high monthly salary, stupid and fat, they only pay 300 yuan a month." Besides, although the story he said is good, who knows if the concocted methods he said are true, their bell doctor originally went to the rivers and lakes to eat by mouth, don't be deceived by him! ”

Lin Qingdai's voice was also very low: "He is different from those Jianghu bell doctors, he treated the child's boils last night, and the techniques and medicines he used were very different from ordinary Langzhong." Moreover, he directly operated to drain pus, which is what ordinary doctors dare not do, in the past, our original Dr. Chai who sat in the hall treated boils, and did not dare to open the surgery to drain pus, so I was also very worried, I went to see it this morning, and I didn't expect that the boils on the child's little buttocks healed well, and there was no suppuration at all! It's amazing. ”

"Treating boils is the guy who eats at the bell doctor, of course, he has some skills, besides, aren't we going to invite a famous doctor, don't famous doctors also have this ability."

"Of course I wouldn't make this decision on this matter alone."

"And what else?" Yingzi Qi said.

"Have you noticed? What did he say earlier when he was concocting medicinal herbs? ”

"I noticed it, it's interesting, I don't know if it's true."

"You don't know much about medicinal materials, so you can't hear the famous hall, the method of concocting medicinal materials he said, think about it, a lot of it is very reasonable."

"yes?"

"Hmm!" Lin Qingdai paused, and then said in a low voice: "In my opinion, his ability is probably more than that!" ”
