Chapter 942: Seeing and Hearing the Medicine
"You have to think about it, if you really go to study medicine, you won't be able to pass the level of your mother alone!" Li Xiu pondered for a while, and then raised his head and said to Ping An Lang, the children are already sensible, so he respects the children's own choices, but he still has to say some necessary words.
"Mother, I have already thought of a rhetoric, studying medicine is my interest, just like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for example, father, don't you also know medicine, as for the usual courses, I will not fall behind, so even if my mother is against it, as long as my father helps persuade me, I will definitely make my mother agree!" I saw that Ping An Lang smiled slyly at this time, and even used Li Xiu as a shield.
"You kid, you have thought about everything, so who are you going to learn from, it won't be with Sun Daochang, right?" Li Xiu was also a little crying and laughing when he heard his son's words, and then asked again.
"Hehe, didn't you say it, father, there is no one in this world who is more skilled in medicine than Sun Daochang, and I have already looked for Sun Daochang, and he also likes me very much, and even promised me that as long as I get your consent from your father, he will accept me as a disciple, anyway, he already has several students over there, and he is not inferior to me!" When Ping An Lang said this, he couldn't help but show a smug expression, he was not as reckless as Li Jin, and he had to plan everything first.
"Even Daoist Sun was moved by what you said, what else can I say?" Li Xiu couldn't help but pat Ping Anlang's brain when he heard this, he usually looked at Ping Anlang silently, but he didn't expect to do things without leakage, which is exactly the same as himself, it seems that his education over the years has not been in vain.
Seeing his father agree, Ping An Lang also showed a happy expression, and after thanking Li Xiu at the moment, he immediately ran out and pulled Lizhi who was taking care of his son aside, and the two of them chattered for a long time, Lizhi seemed to be happy for him, but Ping An Lang was more stable, and he only told Lizhi about this matter, and did not make a big deal about it, after all, there was still his mother Yiniang to pass.
At dinner, Li Xiu has also been thinking about how to tell Yi Niang about Ping Anlang, and he is a little careless when eating, but in contrast, Ping Anlang is not affected at all, which makes Li Xiu sigh, his son is too much like himself, and there is no psychological burden at all after throwing off the pot, anyway, the matter is handed over to Li Xiu's father.
After dinner, Yi Niang went to Princess Pingyang with Yuechan to chat as usual, but Li Xiu called her to her study alone, but as soon as she came in, she asked with a surprised face: "Why did my husband call me to the study alone, is there something wrong?" ”
"This ...... Indeed, there is something to discuss with you. Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak, "Today, Ping An Lang told me that he is very interested in medicine, so he wants to learn some medical skills from Sun Daochang, I don't think it hurts, so I want to hear your opinion." ”
"Studying medicine?" Sure enough, when Yi Niang heard that her son wanted to study medicine, her brows immediately furrowed, even if Li Xiu tried her best to avoid the important and light, but she was still a little excluded, and after a while, she spoke, "How could Ping An Lang think of studying medicine?" ”
"No one can control the child's interests, for example, Qi Niang likes to build ships, and there is nothing wrong with learning some medical skills, for example, I know medical skills myself, of course, I can't compare with Sun Daochang, and if it wasn't for Sun Daochang, Ping An Lang wouldn't have been born." Li Xiu also opened his mouth to persuade at this time, and he had tried his best to say that Ping An Lang's study of medicine was a hobby, rather than a main business to develop.
"But will this delay Heian Lang's studies?" Yi Niang was still a little worried at this time, now Ping An Lang and Jin Er are older, and as boys, they have heavier responsibilities, so in addition to studying with Li Xiu, the family also invited a few gentlemen to teach them to learn the Four Books and Five Classics and other things, after all, Confucianism still occupies the mainstream of society, and if Ping An Lang and Jin Er want to start a business in the future, they must understand these things.
"What's the delay in this, our sons all have knighthoods, do you really want them to compete with ordinary scholars for those Jinshi, I'm afraid it will be scolded?" Li Xiu smiled again when he heard this, the imperial examination was already fiercely competitive, especially the number of admissions to the Tang Jinshi was very small, and the ordinary sons and daughters of the nobles rarely took the road of the imperial examination, after all, their parents alone paved the way for them.
"I don't want to think about Jinshi, it's just that it's always good to read more books, studying medicine is not a serious thing after all, I'm worried that he will be distracted." Yi Niang hesitated again at this time.
"Yiduo is not pressing, and learning some medical skills can also save his life at a critical moment, and Ping An Lang can promise me that he will definitely not delay his normal studies, our son you know, although he doesn't like to talk very much, but his reading intelligence is not bad at all, and the child rarely has a hobby, I think it's better to let him, which is no different from qin, chess, calligraphy and painting." Li Xiu still smiled and persuaded him.
Hearing Li Xiu say this, Yi Niang's attitude finally relaxed, and she pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, it's okay to study medicine, but you must not delay your normal studies, otherwise I can ban him from studying medicine at any time!" ”
"Okay, no problem, I believe Ping An Lang knows the severity, and he will definitely not disappoint us!" Seeing that Yi Niang finally agreed, Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, Ping An Lang is a steady child, he knows what he wants, and he also knows how to achieve his goals, so if he wants to study medicine, he will definitely work hard to meet Yi Niang's requirements, which he doesn't need to say at all.
At that moment, Li Xiu asked Ping'an Lang to call him again, and then in front of Yi Niang, he told him that he could let him go to study medicine with Sun Simiao, which made Ping An Lang almost jump up with joy, after all, no matter how steady he is, he is still a child, but Yi Niang once again told him uneasy for a long time, nothing more than to let him distinguish between priorities and priorities, and he must not delay his normal studies and so on.
Apprenticeship is a big deal, and Sun Simiao is still Li Xiu's old friend, although because of the matter of the monk and Taoist Division, Taoism also has a lot of complaints about Li Xiu, but Sun Simiao is a person who understands major things and wrongs, and has never blamed him for this, and even some Taoist people want to ask Li Xiu for personal favors through his relationship, hoping to relax the conditions for Taoism, but he has also refused.
It is precisely because of the above that Li Xiu also has more respect for Sun Simiao, so he deliberately asked people to pick a good day, and then asked the financial supervisor for a day off, with the gift of apprenticeship, and brought Ping An Lang to the medicine temple where Sun Simiao lived to apprentice, but there was still a long queue from the medicine temple.
"What are these people doing?" Li Xiu watched from afar as the long queue reached the gate of Yaoguan, and asked with some surprise, he has been busy since last year, so he hasn't been to Yaoguan for a long time, and now he suddenly saw so many people, and he was very surprised at the moment, after all, when he came before, Yaoguan was very quiet here.
"Father, you haven't been here for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know about it, Sun Daochang used to practice medicine everywhere, but he likes to be quiet, so few people know where he lives, but in the first two years, didn't he accept a few disciples, in order to let these disciples accumulate experience in practicing medicine, Sun Daochang deliberately let people know that they live in Yaoguan, and accept patients who come to seek treatment, so since last year, there are many patients who come to seek medical treatment, and it is said that some people come from Luoyang or Taiyuan." Heian Lang explained with a smile at this time.
"It turned out to be a person seeking medical treatment, no wonder there was such a long queue!" Li Xiu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and when he spoke, their carriage also came to the foot of the Yaoguan Mountain, although this hill is not high, but the road is blocked by people seeking medical treatment, they have no choice but to abandon the car and walk, and they also saw all kinds of patients along the way, some people thought that they were also seeking medical treatment, but they did not rule it out, one by one they also glared angrily, which made Li Xiu feel so embarrassed.
In the end, he finally came to the door of Yaoguan, and the little Taoist priest who guarded the door recognized him and Ping'an Lang, and hurriedly invited them in, but it caused many patients to complain outside the door, and the little Taoist priest directly explained that Li Xiu was Sun Simiao's friend, not to seek medical treatment, which calmed the patient's complaints.
In fact, when he was halfway up the mountain, Li Xiu smelled a familiar smell of medicine, and when he entered the medicine view, he found that the smell of medicine in the view was stronger than before, but this medicine smell was not very pungent, but also with a bit of fragrance, smelling for a long time but felt very comfortable, far better than the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital in later generations, Li Xiu used to be in the hospital every time he entered the hospital, he would be washed by the smell of disinfectant water headache, if he stayed in the hospital for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be sick and rush out of the disease.
When Li Xiu saw Sun Simiao, he found that he was treating a middle-aged woman, this woman was richly dressed, seemed to be from a rich family, but her face was sallow, her abdomen was swollen like a drum, she looked like a pregnant woman, but she didn't have the demeanor of a pregnant woman, Sun Simiao also frowned slightly when she diagnosed and treated her, Li Xiu knew that Sun Simiao showed such an expression, he must have encountered an intractable and incurable disease, so he and Ping An Lang did not bother rashly, but stood quietly outside the door and waited.
Outside the door, not only Li Xiu's father and son were waiting, but also a middle-aged man was waiting, and looking at his anxious appearance from time to time, it was estimated that he was the husband of the woman who was seeing the patient inside, Li Xiu saw that the other party was too anxious, and couldn't help but comfort at the moment: "This brother doesn't need to worry, Sun Daochang's medical skills are excellent, and ordinary incurable diseases should not be difficult for him." ”
Hearing Li Xiu's words, the middle-aged man also glanced at Li Xiu with some surprise, and then said very politely: "Listen to Brother Tai, do you know Daochang Sun?" ”
"Yes, I am friends with Sun Daochang, and I came to visit him today, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" Li Xiu also asked again with a smile. Originally, he was just kindly comforting the other party, and had no other meaning, but when he learned the identity of the other party, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. 10
