Li Yan put up the medicine banner outside the door and entered the pharmacy by himself.
A letter, falling to the ground.
Looking at the time on the envelope, it should have only been a day.
Li Yan put down his things and opened the envelope.
After just a few glances, he put the letter aside, and said to himself: "Bad people really live a long life!" β
The letter was written by the Chang family.
The Chang family is a big family in the capital, and Master Chang was a heroic figure when he was young.
But the tyrant among the merchants, then he "cuts" naturally the people.
Ten years ago, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and countless people fled the famine.
However, Master Chang secretly bought off the officials and replaced the new grain provided by the imperial court for disaster relief with the moldy Chen Guzi.
This matter is not a secret in the capital, but Master Chang also has some background, and he does things extremely secretly, and he can't catch evidence, even if everyone knows about it, there is nothing he can do.
God has eyes, and Master Chang suffered from a serious illness a few days ago.
According to several doctors in the south of the city, they will not survive for more than three days.
Li Yan didn't want to see Master Chang, this kind of person, in his opinion, it was better to die!
So, he went out to be a traveling doctor for five days.
I didn't expect to come back today, this Chang Lao hasn't breathed yet!
Li Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
A man dressed as a butler in the pharmacy walked in.
"Dr. Li, you're finally back."
Li Yan thought about it, this person was the housekeeper of the Chang family.
Li Yan said: "Li is a lay doctor, I don't know what the housekeeper needs Li's help with?" β
Steward Chang bowed down and said, "Seven days ago, my lord suddenly contracted a strange illness and was bedridden. I visited doctors all over the capital, and they all said that only you have a way. β
Li Yan said with a smile: "Don't laugh at Li, no one in the whole capital doesn't know, the name of the Lu family's pharmacy relies on the first teacher, and Li's subtle skills in medical skills are really ridiculous!" β
Steward Chang said: "That's not what I said, Doctor Lu Zhuyu is in front, no matter how outstanding Dr. Li's medical skills are, they are all covered up by Doctor Lu, and Dr. Li must not be self-deprecating." Today, my lord instructed that he must invite Dr. Li, and he has prepared two hundred taels of silver as the cost of Dr. Li's visit......"
Li Yan sneered in his heart, where is the Chang family's silver so easy to take?
Steward Chang saw that Li Yan was unmoved, so he said: "Even if Dr. Li comes to check the pulse of the master, the Chang family will definitely have a generous gift!" β
Li Yan couldn't get rid of it, so he thought for a while and said: "Outside the capital, there is a Qijia Town, there are countless capable people in the town, and the shopkeeper of the Qijia pharmacy in the town is one of the best. The housekeeper might as well take a trip! β
Steward Chang arched his hand and said: "Thank you Dr. Li for your advice, if my master can recover, I will definitely come to invite Dr. Li to Chang's house for a banquet." β
As soon as Li Yan stretched out his hand, he didn't even mean to get up and send it.
Steward Chang walked out of the pharmacy, very annoyed in his heart.
Looking at the brand of the Lu family's pharmacy, I was furious in my heart, and I really wanted to smash it!
"Eight hundred taels of silver in exchange for such news from Dr. Cheng!" Steward Chang's voice was not loud, but he was heard by Li Yan, who wanted to close the door, "If it is in Qijia Town, as Li Yan said, there are really people who can cure this disease, but if it can't be cured, eight hundred taels of silver will be lost." β
β¦β¦.
Li Yan's master Lu Ting was a miracle doctor in the famous town of the capital back then, and even the palace invited him to diagnose several times.
But then he left the pharmacy and went to the court.
After Lu Ting's death, only one apprentice was left, Li Yan!
Just when everyone thought that Divine Doctor Lu, the apprentice, was going to be a blockbuster.
Li Yan prescribed the wrong medicine.
The ruffian Niu in the south of the city has abdominal pain, but Li Yankai's prescription is a laxative!
So Niu Er came to the Lu family pharmacy and scolded Li Yan.
Li Yan didn't talk back.
Niu Er left, although the brand of the Lu family's pharmacy was still there, but the deeds of Lu Shenyi's personal disciples who did not know laxatives spread all over the capital.
Over the years, the reason why the Lu family pharmacy is still here has not closed down.
One is that the herbs in the Lu family pharmacy are relatively cheap.
The second is that the world thinks that Lu Ting will leave some magical prescriptions for Li Yan to ensure that Li Yan will not starve to death.
But for so many years, I have never seen Li Yan come up with a master's prescription.
Steward Chang has been to the Lu family's pharmacy many times in the past five days, and in his opinion, if Li Yan has a prescription, then under the Chang family's heavy money, he will definitely take it out.
If it has no effect on Master Chang's illness, the Chang family's money is not easy to get!
Li Yan rubbed his forehead.
I've just rested, do you want to go out?
Chengnan, Chengjia Medical Center.
This is one of the darkest medical clinics in the capital.
No matter what herbs, they are all more expensive than other pharmacies!
Hanging at the door of other medical halls are words such as: "Bian Que is alive", "Hua Tuo is reborn", "Wonderful hand rejuvenation" and so on.
At the door of the Cheng Family Medical Center, there are "eighty percent of the medicine", "poor ghosts detour", and "no talk on credit"......
Although Cheng Xuanwen is only in his twenties and has small eyes, he is a big fat man.
Although this Cheng Xuanwen is not good-looking, he is a master disciple of Yaowang Mountain, and his medical skills are beyond doubt.
I've never heard of anyone making trouble at the Cheng Family Hospital.
When Li Yan came, Cheng Xuanwen was standing in front of the table with a shy stomach, writing a big plaque of "eighty taels for consultation".
If there is a person like Cheng Xuanwen in other medical halls, not to mention the size of the faΓ§ade, there should be a few medicine boys who grab medicine and gentlemen who ask for consultations.
But Cheng Xuanwen is not, even writing the plaque is done by himself.
Li Yan once asked him why he was slamming the door so much, and why he even had to write the plaque himself.
Cheng Xuanwen was in the cloud for a while, but nothing came out, and finally his eyebrows wrinkled: "Where can the carpenter make money?" β
Li Yan believes that this is Cheng Xuanwen's truest answer. I wanted to ask him why he had such a big hatred for carpenters.
But Li Yan found that not only carpenters, but also blacksmiths, bricklayers, cooks, and grooms...... Everything is the same!
In short, no one wants to make money in his hands Cheng Xuanwen.
Li Yan didn't bother when he saw Cheng Xuanwen writing a plaque, and sat quietly on the side.
Cheng Xuanwen didn't pay attention to it, still concentrating on writing the plaque, but the pen moved very slowly.
Li Yan took the lead in breaking the silence: "Doctor Cheng ......"
As soon as Li Yangang opened his mouth, Cheng Xuanwen's pen suddenly drew a line on the plaque.
This plaque is said to be a plaque, but it is actually a wooden board.
Looking at the uneven appearance of the wooden board, Li Yan knew that this wooden board was also split by Cheng Xuanwen himself.
Cheng Xuanwen was anxious: "Why did Dr. Li say something to scare Cheng." It's a pity that Cheng's Hainan huanghuali agarwood, red sandalwood, and big willow tree plaque! β
Cheng Xuanwen saw that Li Yan didn't answer at all, and calmed down and said: "I thought you didn't want to do it, so you reluctantly paid eight hundred taels!" β
When Li Yan heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose: "Cheng Cainu, you still have to be shameless!" This is a broken willow plank, exactly the same as the firewood burned in your backyard, and you also care about this broken board for me for eight hundred taels? β
Cheng Xuanwen's face turned hideous when he heard this: "How much money can a face be worth, can it be worth eight hundred taels?" Don't talk nonsense! Li Shenba, take the money! β
Saying that, Cheng Xuanwen stretched out his hand to Li Yan.
Li Yan sneered: "Okay, Cheng Cainu." You tell Master Chang that I have a solution to that disease. I'll go to Chang's house now, and then tell Master Chang to let him wait for death. I'll see if the person surnamed Chang can make you spit out the silver. β
Cheng Xuanwen immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Oops! What kind of wind blew Brother Li here? Cheng accidentally fell asleep when he was writing the plaque just now, and he dreamed of Brother Li, what a fate! β
Li Yan still had a cold face: "Cheng Fatzi, that surnamed Chang should have died a long time ago, why do you want me to wade into this troubled water!" β
Cheng Xuanwen was startled, looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he closed the door and pulled Li Yan into the back hall: "Can't you be quiet?" β
