Chapter 6 Hibiscus
From Li Shizhen's mouth, Qin Lin learned that "grandfather" Qin Shi had a very deep friendship with this Ming medical saint.
It turned out that twenty-five years ago, Li Shizhen was invited by the Wuchang Chu Mansion to serve as the "Fengci Zheng" of the eight products, mainly responsible for medical work.
The king of Chu believed in Taoist magic and invited Taoist priests to open a furnace in the mansion for alchemy, which caused a miasma. Those Taoist priests still talk nonsense that there is no need for medical treatment if you are sick, as long as you sincerely pray to the gods for alchemy, you can be cured, and you can become an immortal if you refine the golden pill, and you can soar in vain.
Li Shizhen did not believe in magic and repeatedly argued with Taoist priests, and was jointly excluded by Taoist priests, during which Qin Shi helped him a lot, but the king of Chu was bent on seeking immortals to favor Taoist priests, and they were helpless about it.
Later, the Taoist priest slandered and framed him, attributing the failure of alchemy to the disrespect of the gods and immortals in the mansion, and pointed the finger at Qin and Li.
The king of Chu is angry with people who can't succeed in alchemy, Li Shizhen is a famous doctor in Xinglin, and he can't be too much for him, just when Emperor Jiajing ordered to invite a famous doctor to enter the Tai Hospital, the king of Chu recommended him to go to the Jingshi Tai Hospital thousands of miles away, which is equivalent to kicking out of the palace, out of sight and out of mind;
Qin Shi is not so lucky, although he is the sixth grade, he has no status in the Ming Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and light on martial arts, and the military attache of the palace is like a house slave, and the king of Chu ordered him to be beaten out of the palace with a stick, and he was directly removed from the palace.
Qin Shi returned to his hometown in Hanyang County on the other side of the Yangtze River, living in poverty, Li Shizhen returned to Qizhou from the Tai Hospital to practice medicine, and gradually became financially well-off, so he wrote a letter to persuade his old friend to move to Qizhou, but Qin Shi refused to be a strong man, and asked someone to bring the letter with the silver, but Qin Shi accepted the letter and returned all the silver.
Speaking of the past, Li Shizhen was not embarrassed, and said to Qin Lin after speaking: "Since my nephew and grandson have arrived here, everything is arranged by me, and I must live up to the trust of Qin Shi's old friend." By the way, Wuchang is hundreds of miles upstream of Qizhou, why didn't you go to Qizhou City to find the old man, but went to the thorn ridge in the downstream direction? β
Qin Lin had no choice but to make up a set of rhetoric: "My nephew doesn't want to trouble Uncle Taishi, so I'm going to go down the Yangtze River and go to Jiangnan to do some business......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Shizhen's face turned red, and his gray beard curled up, and he said sternly:
"Nonsense! The nephew and grandson, Ling Zu said in the letter that your surname is stubborn, and I am afraid that you will step into the wrong path, and the old man only thinks that he is too strict in discipline. Thinking about the place where the fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River float in the south of the Yangtze River, what Qinhuai River, Xizi Lake, fireworks Willow Lane Qinglou Painting Boat, wouldn't young people be dizzy when they went, one wrong step, one wrong step, will there be a good one in the future? β
Lu Yuanzhi's senior brothers looked at Qin Lin with dazzling eyes, and some people gave him a thumbs upβobviously, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River was quite tempting in the imagination of this group of young people.
Li Qingdai made a playful grimace at him, scraped her spring onion-like fingers on her nose, and smiled: "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed!" β
Qin Lin was already dumbfounded, saying that he went to the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River because those areas had a developed commodity economy and it was convenient to do something, but he didn't expect Li Shizhen to be wrong.
Before he could figure out how to explain, Li Shizhen said categorically: "There is no need to say that the nephew and grandson of the world are siblings, the old man and Ling Zuqing are brothers and sisters, since he entrusted me to take care of him before he died, the old man is convenient for you to have the responsibility of discipline, and you are never allowed to go to Jiangnan to do wrong." Okay, I accepted this road guide - Liu Quan came over quickly, sent the road guide to the state office, used my name post to find Zhang Yimu, and settled in the state for the nephew of the Qin family! β
Qin Lin was dumbfounded, Li Shizhen is not only his nominal Uncle Taishi, but also a real life-saving benefactor, this old man took out the prestige of Uncle Taishi, of course he was helpless, and watched the housekeeper Liu Quan take the road to the state government.
So I had no choice but to obey my fate and stayed in the Li family.
Lu Yuanzhi has been studying in Li's Medical Center for three years, and he is very good at taking care of patients, and the kitchen sends chicken soup and ginseng soup from time to time, and within a few days, Qin Lin's body will return to normal, leaving no sequelae.
The letter brought by Qin Lin asked Li Shizhen to make a living for him, and Li Shizhen asked him to stay in the museum to learn medical skills, and this decision immediately made the apprentices and men of the medical hall envious of Qin Lin.
Lu Yuanzhi told him that this Li Family Medical Center is not so easy to enter, first of all, the three generations of the family are innocent, secondly, he must be studious and motivated, and finally he must be talented.
With such strict conditions, people inside and outside Qizhou City who want to work in the hospital are about to break their heads.
It turns out that the students of Li's Medical Center are divided into three classes, the lowest class is the pharmacy guy, under the leadership of the shopkeeper and skilled hands, identify various drugs, familiar with the surname of medicine, as long as they have been in Li's Medical Center for more than five years, become a familiar hand, and have their own big pharmacies to hire them to do two counters and three counters, if they go to small and medium-sized pharmacies or even directly become the shopkeeper is not uncommon.
The second class is the apprentice, who has the qualification to enter the medical hall to audit, but still has to undertake the work of sprinkling chores and pharmacies, and the apprentices of the Li Medical Center are already considered supernumerary disciples of the divine doctor Li Shizhen, who have studied for five years and eight years, and after leaving the school, they have practiced medicine in various places in the urban and rural areas of Jinghu without worrying about food and clothing.
The most enviable is the official students of the medical hall, this is the authentic descendant of Li Shizhen, the great Ming divine doctor, as long as he succeeds in studying medicine, King Jing and King Chu and other palaces are waiting for vain, and those with excellent medical skills may be recommended to the Tai Hospital, that is, the imperial court official, and the glory of the ancestors.
It's just that at present, the conditions for the Li Family Medical Hall to recruit formal students are extremely strict, including Lu Yuanzhi and Li Qingdai, there are only six people, and Qin Lin is the seventh.
Qin Lin got a lot of gold and silver from Gao Jackal, the senior brother of the White Lotus Sect who was hunted down by Jinyiwei, and he was not short of money for the time being, and he was not interested in the positions of the royal medical officer and the imperial doctor, who had no power, purely served people, and had to be angry from time to time, but Qin Lin, who was drooling a lot, was not very moved.
However, he hasn't figured out what to do next, the criminal investigation and forensic techniques he learned seem to be useless in the Ming Dynasty, and he can't do these promising jobs such as making glass soap and making steel.
The forensic doctor who studied in the previous life, dealt more with the dead and less with the living, only knew a little about clinical treatment, and he didn't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, seeing Li Shizhen's ability to cure poisonous snake bites without antivenom, Qin Lin couldn't help but have a strong interest in the medical skills of this great Ming doctor, anyway, he hadn't figured out where to go, so it didn't hurt to stay in the medical hall.
Li Shizhen had six disciples who had passed on his medical skills, Pang Xian, Qu Jiusi, and his own four sons.
In the first year of Wanli, Qu Jiu left the medical hall in thought, the eldest son Li Jianzhong was far away as an official in Pengxi County, Sichuan, and the second son Li Jianyuan and the fourth son Li Jianmu had been admitted to Xiucai, studying in Huangzhou Fuxue and Qizhou Confucianism respectively, and only Pang Xian and the third son Li Jianfang were left in charge of the medical hall.
Qin Lin studied in the medical hall for several days, and Li Jianfang and Pang Xian took turns to teach as teachers.
Li Jianfang was a bit serious and rigid, and he didn't talk to the students much after class, so he picked up the book and left--Lu Yuanzhi said that this teacher wanted to learn from Li Shizhen's example and enter the Tai Hospital, so he was busy studying medical classics and was not very concerned about the teaching and routine diagnosis and treatment work in the hospital.
Pang Xianzi Lumen, is a middle-aged man who is a little blessed, no matter who he meets, he is smiling and grinning, and the current work of the hospital is mainly undertaken by him.
Half a month after Qin Lin came to the medical hall, Li Jianfang suddenly did not show up for three consecutive days, and on the fourth day, Pang Xian gave a lecture. In addition to the seven regular students, there were also many audit apprentices.
The teacher talked on the stage about the monarch and the minister, the cold and the hot, the virtual and the real, and Qin Lin frowned at the large-character book: he has been using the simplified characters since elementary school, and it is not too difficult to identify the traditional characters used now, but he always lacks pen and drawing when he writes; Moreover, I have not practiced the brush specifically, and now I hold a tube of pen in my hand, and the soft tip of the pen is bent from side to side, and the words written are crooked.
Now Qin Lin knows how ridiculous it is that those traversers relied on a few outstanding poems and articles of later generations to take the imperial examination in ancient times, not only Jinshi and the first but also the story of Lianzhong Sanyuan, just the brush calligraphy of the ancients, you can't catch up......
"Hibiscus!"
Qin Lin suddenly heard his words shouted from the podium, and raised his head in a trance.
The students in the room looked at each other in surprise, and several of them laughed.
Pang Xian knocked on the table with the book and scolded: "What are you laughing at? β
Then he read down on the podium solemnly: "Hibiscus, sweet, smooth, smooth, non-toxic, mainly for psoriasis, hemorrhoids, swelling and pain, large intestine prolapse, mouth dysentery, yellow water abscess, ......"
Every time Pang Xian read a sentence, a group of people laughed at the bottom, no way, the main function of this hibiscus is really "very yellow and violent".
Qin Lin smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, he didn't know Chinese medicine, he didn't know whether "hibiscus" or Chinese medicine was flavored, just because it was consistent with Lu Yin, and it sounded in line with the original name, so he used "hibiscus" as the word, and now he understood why when he said his name for the first time after he woke up, Qingdai would immediately be happy.
No, Qing Dai, who was sitting in the front row, was lying on the table, her shoulders twitching, obviously laughing happily, and after a while, she turned around and made a quick face at Qin Lin while people were not paying attention - she was the first to find the joke of this name, obviously she was a little proud of it.
Qin Lin, who was originally a little depressed, saw this bright and bright smile like a summer flower, and his mood became bright, and he nodded at her with a smile.
The etiquette law in the Ming season is strict, and Qingdai can go to school here because Li Shizhen is old and needs the assistance of his granddaughter in some aspects when compiling the compendium of materia medica, and the second is that the Li family's medical family is not an official family, and the family rules are not too strict, and the third is that Li Shizhen is quite doting on his granddaughter.
But Qing Dai rarely talked to her brothers, let alone smiled at others, Qin Lin only nodded, she was too shy, turned her head red-faced, and never looked this way again.
The little girl patted her chest lightly, only to feel that her heart was like a deer.
Most people didn't see this scene happening in an instant, but Qin Lin didn't know that behind his side, a grim gaze had already shot over.
On the stage, Pang Xian was amused by himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he asked with a smile: "Qin Lin, since you use hibiscus as a word, do you know how this hibiscus is used medicinally?" β
Lu Yuanzhi has eaten a lot of steamed buns and barbecued pork invited by Qin Lin these days, and when he saw him being called up by the teacher, he knew that he couldn't answer, and most of them would be punished by the teacher.
Xiao Chubby Dun hurriedly covered his face with a book, and handed over the answer in a voice that Qin Lin could only hear: "Anal prolapse is a ...... of hibiscus root decoction."
Qin Lin stood up and replied honestly: "The disciple doesn't know, please ask Mr. for advice." β
Alas~ Lu Yuanzhi patted his thigh in annoyance, and said in his heart that Qin Lin was going to be disciplined: Don't look at Teacher Li Jianfang's usual straight face, in fact, it is indispensable for students' studies, you love to learn or not; This Mr. Pang looks smiling, but he is the strictest in checking his studies, and he will be punished for the slightest mistake.
Who knew that Pang Xian sneered and raised his ring ruler towards Lu Yuanzhi, so frightened that the little fat dun went straight to hide under the table, but he didn't embarrass Qin Lin, and replied by himself:
"For large intestine prolapse, decoction with hibiscus root, first fumigation, and then compress with alum and gallnut. Hemorrhoids are swollen and painful, and they are smoked and then washed with hibiscus bark or leaf decoction. Yellow water abscess...... Qin Lin, sit down, as a teacher, I also know that you have a bad foundation, but those who study medicine must understand the surname of medicine, you must not be ridiculous, and you must study more diligently. β
"Thank you for the teacher's teaching," Qin Lin arched his hand and sat down.
An apprentice came over in the lobby of the medical hall to call someone, saying that a critical patient had arrived, Pang Xian arranged for the students to study on their own, and let the senior brother Zhang Jianlan take care of it, and then left the school in a hurry.
Before Qin Lin's ass sat firmly on the bench, he heard someone beside him lower his voice, and said bitterly: "Hmph, if you don't learn and don't have skills, this kind of person can also sneak into our medical hall, even if the old man is too old, but this guy doesn't pee and look in the mirror to see what material he is, does he have the face to sit in the middle of this class?!" β
