Chapter 19: Haughty Aesthetics
After seeing the master take out these medical cases and prescriptions in the same way, Xiao Zheng was inexplicably moved a lot in his heart, Li Wenbo really regarded himself as a disciple, and the books in the box were taken out casually and put in modern times, which is enough to be called worth ten thousand gold in terms of the value of cultural relics alone, not to mention the cultural connotation. Li Wenbo said to Xiao Zheng: "This is the prescription left by your ancestor when he used to treat patients, you can read it carefully, these new ones are some incurable diseases that the old man has seen over the years, you can also read him well."
The next morning, after practicing calligraphy, when I studied the medical cases and prescriptions left by my ancestor, I was shocked by the spirit of the ancestor's dedication to study. What surprised Xiao Zheng even more was that there were dozens of records of surgical procedures in nearly a thousand medical cases, Hua Tuo's scraping of Guan Yunchang's bones to cure poison was a legend, but these medical cases did surprise him when they were placed in front of Xiao Zheng, although the success rate was not very high, and there were only nearly ten cases of success, but this was a great achievement a thousand years ago! For those cases that have not been cured, the patriarch also recorded the healing process in detail, which is obviously to give some tips to future generations, and then to find a cure method to take some detours, which is a medical rigor that makes people feel a lot more inexplicable.
When Xiao Zheng asked about these surgeries, he sighed: "The operation has never been recorded in the pre-classical books, and the teacher still has some disbelief that this person can still live after disemboweling. Xiao Zheng wanted to tell his master that complete surgical instruments had been unearthed in the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan a thousand years ago, but he was afraid of being misunderstood by his husband, so he didn't open his mouth after all.
Xiao Zheng found these books out again and studied them seriously, although he had a thorough study and understanding of these medical books under the guidance of many famous scholars in modern times, but through this time he picked up these classics, and found that those things in his memory are very different from now, every time he encounters these situations, Xiao Zheng asks the master for advice, and Mr. Li also seriously explains that some of the ideas mentioned by Xiao Zheng are sometimes obtained from later generations, and his original medical foundation is not ordinarily good. In order to make the master happy, he often pretended to ask questions inadvertently and thought about what his predecessors didn't think of, which made the master feel refreshed, and the master also told him calmly about what he didn't know, which also made Xiao Zheng admire the master's openness, and some of the things that the master explained to Xiao Zheng were unheard of and unseen, although there were some vague things that he didn't understand, but the theory of later generations made Xiao Zheng's thinking suddenly open, and he saw Xiao Zheng so humble and easy to ask, Li Wenbo also taught Xiao Zheng unreservedly, the master and apprentice, one willing to teach and the other willing to learn, made Mr. very happy.
In a blink of an eye, the autumn wind was blowing, the grass and trees were yellow, Jin'er also came out of the haze of divorce, Xiao Zheng also consciously approached Jin'er, the two sometimes went to herd cattle and mow grass together, but every time the two of them were alone, Jin'er always had some worries when she looked at Xiao Zheng's eyes. One evening, two people sat on the edge of the pond, the lotus flowers on the pond had withered, a few residual leaves fell on the pond, the blue sky was reflected on the pond, the autumn wind blew Jin'er's hair, Jin'er's light red clothes were reflected on the water, Xiao Zheng saw a blur in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Beauty on stage, Xian'e shadow, red lotus reflecting water, blue swamp red glow." Jin'er's body trembled after hearing this, glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "Let me ask you, am I ugly?" Xiao Zheng really didn't come to his senses for a long time when he heard Jin'er's words, he didn't expect Jin'er to suddenly ask him such a question. Seeing that Xiao Zheng didn't speak, Jin'er smiled at Xiao Zheng lonely and said: "My father and the people in the village may all see me as ugly, which is the reason why few people propose marriage to me, and I also know that the people in the village also see my father's good character, everyone just knows but they don't say it, I was originally a Pu Liu, and now I have been divorced by others, don't you dislike it?" Xiao Zheng looked at Jin'er and didn't answer, at this time an autumn locust flew onto Jin'er's shoulder, Xiao Zheng leaned towards Jin'er and stretched out his hand to bounce the insect away.
Jin'er looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "Why didn't you answer my question?" Xiao Zheng was silent for a while, looked at Jin'er's eyes and replied: "I thought you were a fairy in the sky since I saw you, you have always been a beauty in my eyes, seeing you divorced, to be honest, I can't tell whether I am happy or sad, although Xiao Zheng is a person in distress, he does things brightly, like is like, if he doesn't like it, I don't like it, I tell you very seriously now that I never wanted to dislike you, if you have to think that you are ugly, then I can only say one sentence, that is: in the eyes of a lover, Every pair of Qingqing every ecstasy".
"In the eyes of the lover, every pair of Qingqing is ecstatic" After Jin'er heard this, she lowered her head and repeated it twice, and when she raised her head, she looked at Xiao Zheng and smiled, and the tears flowed down with a smile, and suddenly lay on Xiao Zheng's shoulder and cried loudly, Xiao Zheng sat there and didn't move, letting Jin'er's tears penetrate his clothes, and feeling the temperature of Jin'er's tears on his shoulders, and waited until Jin'er cried for a long time and was almost cathartic, then he got up and calmly said to the arrogance: "Let's go back." Since this incident, Jin'er is still very close to Xiao Zheng, still cooking and washing every day, helping Mr. take care of these children, but he is a lot less polite to Xiao Zheng, and sometimes when he is too busy, he asks Xiao Zheng to come over to help, Xiao Zheng is also tired of this, let Jin'er call and drink, and he is not tired of being happy all day long, but occasionally he can catch a trace of worry in Jin'er's eyes, but Xiao Zheng didn't say anything and didn't ask again.
One night, after the mother and son returned to the room, Xiao's mother was making clothes under the lamp, Xiao Zheng and his mother chatted a few words and were about to go back to the house to sleep, Xiao's mother stopped him and asked, "Zheng'er, my mother asked you, do you like Jin'er?" My mother has watched you grow up since I was a child, and what you think in your heart is clear, and you don't need to hide it as a mother." Xiao Zheng replied: "The child really likes Jin'er", Xiao's mother hesitated for a moment and then asked Xiao Zheng: "Don't you think Jin'er is ugly?" After saying this, maybe Xiao's mother felt embarrassed, scratched her scalp with a needle and nose and said: "It stands to reason that our mother and son can't talk about people behind people, but then again, Miss Jin'er is indeed smart and clever, and she is also a strange woman worthy of you in terms of talent." But Jin'er is really not beautiful, this is the mother's true words, and Jin'er has also been divorced, and her reputation is not good."
Xiao Zheng looked at his mother and said that Jin'er was ugly, thinking that his master also said that his daughter was not good-looking, and it took a long time to ease up, now that the Tang Dynasty had just been founded, and he had not yet shown his fangs and sharp teeth, but it was in the era of the Sui Dynasty that people's views of aliens were still very extreme, especially for the distant Fanbang Hu people, who often looked down on the bottom three points from their bones, and the word "Hu" itself was not a good idea in this era, and Jin'er looked too much like Hu Nu, In this era, it is common for wealthy families to raise a few orchids or a few Xianluo maidservants, but it is rare to hear the Han family marry a Hu girl as a wife, of course, if it is a Hu person, it is very rare, whether the family is rich or poor, there is very little, without him, the arrogance of the Han blood in the bones, and Jin'er, a mixed-race beauty, is to make a group of people fall for the future generations, but in this era, Jin'er's appearance is completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder Xiao's mother also asked herself, thinking of several dynasties in later generations to bind feet as beauty, Instantly understood, alas, naked discrimination!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng was suddenly relieved, so he said to Xiao's mother: "Auntie, although Jin'er is ugly, you can also see how kind she is in her heart, her son likes her from the heart, as for the divorce, her son has never disliked it, and it is not her wish to divorce, if she doesn't withdraw from the marriage, she may still be the son who is lost." Xiao's mother was stunned for a moment when she saw the light, smiled and said: "Since you like it, you won't stop your mother, but no one can say anything about this marriage, as long as you are happy and safe in your life, you will be content with your mother."
Xiao Zheng saw that his mother was still a little worried, and said to his mother: "If there is a woman like Xiu'er who is beautiful on the outside and vicious on the inside, and a woman like Jin'er who is average but kind-hearted although she is long, which one do you choose to be your daughter-in-law?" Xiao's mother thought about it and looked at her son and smiled, the dancing flames reflected the warmth of the slightly cold room, and the mother and son chatted for a while and went to sleep.
