"Artemisia grass, Jiangdong people call it Artemisia, because it smells like a monkey (a kind of monkey). The northerners call it Artemisia annua...... "Qingdai recited the content of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and her voice was crisp and beautiful, in the middle of the night in the early summer, like a heavenly sound.

The disciples and apprentices held their breath and listened quietly, did they want to memorize the medical knowledge, or did they not want to leave out a word of this beautiful heavenly sound?

Although the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has not yet been published, the disciples of the Li Medical Center have long been exposed to the manuscript manuscript, and the content of the lecture in class is also based on it, and this passage is actually not unfamiliar.

That is to say, usually the "Artemisia annua" in medical books refers to Artemisia annua, but there are also those who call Artemisia annua (Artemisia annua), and Artemisia annua used in the treatment of malaria should be the latter!

Knowing this, the apprentices hurriedly went to the medicine depot to get the stinky artemisia, slowly pounded the juice, and gave it to Niu's. Sure enough, the medicine was symptomatic, and in just a few moments, the sickly flush on the patient's face subsided.

Lu Yuanzhi suddenly realized, and admired Qingdai for twelve points: "In the end, the little sister remembers clearly, the Artemisia annua we usually talk about is Artemisia annua, and it is very fragrant when making wine, the stinky artemisia tastes weird, and no one wants to give it away for free, but who knows that the Artemisia annua used to treat malaria is actually Artemisia annua!" ”

Qing Dai was very proud, her small and delicate nose was almost up to the sky, and she joked: "There is no one who has learned to be a teacher, Lu Yuanzhi, you should call me senior sister." Senior Brother Qin, huh? ”

This sentence violated Zhang Jianlan's taboo, and his face was dark. There is no one who has learned to be a teacher, so he, the first apprentice of the medical hall who mistakenly took stinky artemisia for artemisia, doesn't he want to recognize Li Qingdai, a little girl, as a senior sister?

Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the dignity and inferiority of men and women, even if Li Qingdai was Li Shizhen's favorite granddaughter, it was not easy to answer when asked about this sentence by the apprentices, and there was a little embarrassment on his face for a while.

Qing Dai was just joking, she was young, innocent and didn't know much about human feelings, at this time, seeing the senior brothers putting on a noncommittal look, she immediately pouted: "Hmph, I know that you always treat me as a child, senior sister, is it so strange?" It's enough for Senior Brother Qin to recognize me as a senior sister, but I'm not happy to change someone else. ”

Qin Lin secretly laughed at these senior brothers, isn't it okay to make the little girl happy? Simply make a circle, and say in a righteous and strict manner: "Medical skills are used to treat diseases and save people, the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, Qingdai girl found the problem in time and saved the patient's surname, this merit is enough to be a model for my generation of doctors, why can't I call a senior sister?" ”

The expressions of Zhang Jianlan's disciples immediately became strange, saying that unmarried men and women are not good at praising each other casually, even if husband and wife have to talk about "husband as wife", the husband can't say that his wife is stronger than himself, otherwise he will be looked down upon by outsiders. Even if they like this delicate and lovely little sister very much, they usually don't smile, and they don't praise her for half a sentence.

However, they didn't think about anything else, they just thought that Qin Lin was probably trying to gain a foothold in the medical hall by currying favor with Qing Dai! After all, marriage is about "the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", and the woman herself has no choice.

Qingdai smiled when she heard it, just because she studied medicine with her grandfather since she was a child, but she couldn't help diagnose people, and she couldn't learn and couldn't perform, it was really uncomfortable.

Now that Qin Lin has praised her in front of everyone, and there is an example of treating Niu's family, no one can deny her medical skills, which is happier than anything else.

Qing Dai clapped her little hands and laughed into a crooked crescent moon with watery eyes: "Hehe, I also have a junior brother, from now on Qin Lin is the little junior brother, you are not allowed to call me little junior sister anymore, hehe, some people call me senior sister~~"

The disciples were talking, and Niu Dali suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Lin and Qing Dai: "The two of you saved my mother's life, that is, I have another parent, don't say that senior brother and sister, even the master and my mother also recognize it!" The two of them are on top, and they are worshiped by my stupid cow! ”

It turned out that after a while, Niu's condition improved significantly, not only his face was much more normal, and he was no longer that sickly crimson, but his body temperature for high fever also dropped, and his breathing changed from wheezing like a bellows to fine, stable and powerful.

Where is Qin Lin used to others kneeling down to him? hurriedly went to help with both hands, but Niu Dali, a powerful King Kong, could not be lifted up by him, so he had to bear a strong head.

Qing Dai was still smiling at first, but gradually a smile fell on her face: It's nothing to call senior brother and sister, but master and master seem to be?

Lu Yuanzhi and other disciples of the medical hall squeezed their eyebrows and laughed, no one took Niu Dali's words seriously, but the language disease in it was worth studying......

Qing Dai stomped her feet, and the senior sister, who was still majestic just now, sneered, covered her face with her hands and ran back to the back hall.

"Hmph, men and women, what kind of physique?!" Zhang Jianlan had a dark face, flicked her sleeves angrily, and left the side room.

Before leaving, his resentful gaze slashed at Qin Lin's body, and said secretly: Boy, you wait, thinking that you can hug the beauty by pleasing the little junior sister? Hmph, when Lao Tzu becomes the medical officer of the palace, let's ride a donkey and read the record book - we'll see!

Since the patients were safe and sound, the disciples and apprentices dispersed one after another, Lu Yuanzhi also yawned and went back to his room to sleep, leaving only two apprentices in the ward in case the seven or eight patients who stayed in the side room had any needs at night.

Niu's condition improved significantly after taking stinky artemisia, and he slept very sweetly, and Niu Dali also settled down. I was tossing for most of the night, but my mood went from high tension to relaxation, and drowsiness gradually hit, and my upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

Suddenly feeling someone pat on the shoulder, Niu Dali's body shook and opened his eyes, and he saw Qin Lin standing in front of him with a smile.

Qin Lin was the first to point out that the medicine was wrong, and then Qing Dai clarified the truth that malaria must be used with stinky artemisia, these two are the benefactors of Niu's salvation, seeing that it was Qin Lin, Niu Dali's sleepy face was immediately filled with sincere smiles, and his huge mouth was almost grinning on his cheeks:

"Brother Qin, is there something wrong?"

Qin Lin nodded and motioned for him to go to the courtyard.

Niu vigorously weighed the small purse on his chest, and there was a little more helplessness in the smile on his face.

As soon as the head of the medical hall entered the courtyard, there was a small rockery and pond in the middle, and the two sat down by the pond, and without waiting for Qin Lin to speak, Niu Dali laughed with him, and took out a few pieces of broken silver first:

"Brother Qin, you are my mother's life-saving benefactor, although I am a rough person, I also know the truth of repaying kindness, but my family is really poor, and my mother is still sick...... You can take this broken silver to buy a bowl of tea to eat, and then I will thank you when I earn the silver. ”

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed evilly, took Niu Dali's few coins and broken silver in his palm and weighed it, and said in a frivolous tone: "So, what kind of work are you going to do to earn money?" ”

Niu Dali was dismissed by the state government, and then the old mother fell ill, and he hadn't thought about what to do in the future, and his face was red when asked by Qin Lin: "I didn't think about it before, but I have the strength, so let's go to the river to pick sand, in short, I will have to make up for the affection of the father, and the city god is on it, if the stupid cow is lying, let me have a big boil on my tongue, and it can't be cured in ten years!" ”

Qin Lin looked at Niu Dali playfully, and said unhurriedly for a while: "It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good deputy embryo is obviously the material for a big career, and going to pick sand can bury the talent......"

"Needless to say!" Niu vigorously jumped up, and his two copper bell-wide eyes glared at Qin Lin: "Engong wants to do a great career, may I ask which altar of the White Lotus Sect is the senior brother?" Even if I work hard to pick sand, I don't want to be a demon cultist who deceives people, does that conspiracy, and opposes the Ming court! You are kind to my mother, I will not hear anything tonight, in the future, it will be easy to be a stupid cow, and it will be difficult for a stupid cow to be a thief! ”

Qin Lin was stunned, then shook his head, and said in his heart, how stupid is this stupid cow? It's obviously very sophisticated, but the principle surname is very strong, and it's envied by mediocre people.

The White Lotus Sect in the Jinghu area is powerful, infiltrating the government in various ways, Niu Dali was appreciated by the former prefect, and he was targeted by the White Lotus Sect, and he came to lure him into the religion several times.

However, Niu has taught his son loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness since he was a child, and he heard that the storyteller on the street also told the story of his mother-in-law's tattooing and loyalty to the country.

Practicing medicine is the basic means of the White Lotus Sect to seduce the people into the religion, and the poor people have no way to seek medical treatment, so the White Lotus disciples will get some herbs and dress up as bell doctors to go around the streets and alleys for free treatment, and whether it is the right symptom or not, there will always be a time when the patient is right or the patient himself is cured, so he will use this to advocate the doctrine and tempt the people to join the religion.

The people in the land of Jinghu are very familiar with this set of methods, Qin Lin first treated the Niu family, and then said that he wanted to do a great cause, Niu Dali immediately thought of the White Lotus Sect, and was extremely vigilant.

Qin Lin smiled dumbly, not only was he not the White Lotus Sect, but he had also killed a senior brother of the White Lotus Sect, and said to Niu Dali: "Brother Niu is wrong, the younger brother is definitely not a disciple of the White Lotus Sect, and the lifeless old mother has no fate with me, and the younger brother not only does not want Brother Niu's silver, but wants to give it to Brother Niu!" ”

The White Lotus Sect must not deny their faith, let alone make fun of their lifeless mother, otherwise they will be punished by three swords and six holes for apostasy, and they will never be reborn in hell after death, so as soon as Qin Lin's words fell, Niu Dali breathed a sigh of relief.

But Qin Lin said that he didn't want silver, but wanted to give him silver, Niu Dali didn't believe it, he looked at Qin Lin: fifteen or sixteen years old, he was wearing coarse clothes, and his identity was just a disciple of the medical hall, and just now he inadvertently heard the people in the medical hall say that his parents were both dead and his family had no money to spare, so he was not a nobleman or prince at all, how much silver could he give to others?

Qin Lin asked unhurriedly: "If you want to be reinstated and get the position of the leader of the strong class, how much silver do you need in total?" ”

Niu Dali actually wants to return to the state government to resume his job, not only can he earn some money for work and food, but the old mother in the family is also at ease, but where can he get the money he wants to do?

Originally, his heart was hot, but seeing that Qin Lin's expression didn't look like a joke, his heart moved, and Niu Dali calculated: "If it is just reinstatement, it is enough for the old master to give ten taels of silver, and if you want to get a long one, you have to get twenty taels of silver-I was appreciated by the previous eldest master, and I didn't give any silver for what I did."

If you want to get the head of the entire Zhuang class, the criminal master will need fifty taels, the six-room clerk will have to pay five taels of filial piety each, and the officials will have to pay ten taels for adding yellow paper albums, and there will be a fee for seven entanglements, a hundred taels of silver! ”

After saying that, Niu Dali looked at Qin Lin with a blank eye, as if hope was in front of him, but the cold moonlight shone on Qin Lin's face, just a very young and half-grown teenager, Niu Dali secretly laughed at himself and dizzy, and actually pinned his hope on this little brother.

Qin Lin just said lightly: "A militia captain only needs a hundred taels of silver, hehe, it's not expensive." ”

Then, a somewhat heavy cloth bag was stuffed into Niu Dali's hand, "Here are one hundred and fifty taels of silver, then, can I call you Niu Bantou?" ”
