"I'll take my leave and go back to dispensing medicine right away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zuo Shaoyang stood up, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Is Ma Zhou the prime minister?" β
When he participated in the imperial examination, Ma Zhou was next to Zuo Shaoyang, because there was no stove, his fingers were stiff from the cold, he couldn't hold the pen, he couldn't write the answer sheet, he was so anxious that he cried, it was Zuo Shaoyang who gave him a fire, and the two became acquainted, and later hired Ma Zhou as the vice president of the Barefoot Foundation. After Zuo Shaoyang left the capital, the two lost contact.
The emperor shook his head gloomily and said: "Ma Qing has done a very good job in the Barefoot Foundation, I appreciate it very much, and I have always made him the prime minister, but he died of illness last year, and he still talked about you before he died." β
Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that in the fifteen years that he was away, Ma Zhou, a poor friend, also passed away. With a sigh, he left the dormitory with the medical box.
Outside the door, Empress Changsun and others were waiting, and when they saw Zuo Shaoyang, they all greeted them, and their eyes were full of concern.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The emperor's illness is very critical, and he must get the correct treatment as soon as possible. I'll go back and decoct the medicine now, and I'll come twice a day to give it to the emperor. The emperor has already promised that I will decoct the medicine directly for him. Don't interfere with others. Other than that. I told the emperor that I would only take my medicine, and all the national teacher's elixir and any other medicine should be stopped. Otherwise I don't care. The emperor has agreed, and hopes that Niangniang and you can supervise the emperor, which is related to the safety of the emperor's dragon body, and it is not a child's play. β
Empress Eldest Sun and the others all nodded frequently and asked, "Is there a problem with the national teacher's elixir?" β
"The emperor's illness is caused by these pills, do you think there is a problem?"
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't believe that there would be a problem with the elixir made by the national teacher. But when I heard the divine doctor emphasize this, they all nodded in agreement.
Zuo Shaoyang also told Father-in-law Luo to give the emperor the raw egg whites and other therapeutic items that the emperor usually eats.
Then, the emperor called Luo Gonggong in and asked him to arrange guards to protect Zuo Shaoyang and the Zuo family. Father-in-law Luo hurriedly called the Ouchi guards to make arrangements.
During this period, Zuo Shaoyang told his apprentice Du Ming to take care of the emperor, and when the emperor's condition stabilized, he would go to visit his sister and several junior brothers and sisters at home.
The guards moved quickly, and the five guards with strong martial arts followed Zuo Shaoyang in disguise as servants to protect him. In fact, the ambushed guard Luo Gonggong made other arrangements.
With these five guards, Zuo Shaoyang rode on a little donkey, flicked a small whip, and went out of the palace gate.
Zuo Shaoyang rode home on a donkey, Zuo Gui's father and others came to ask how the situation was, Zuo Shaoyang naturally wouldn't say that the emperor's physical condition was a state secret and couldn't be talked about.
When the pharmacy was designed, Zuo Shaoyang had already designed a separate pharmacy with three suites, one bright and two dark. There is a special medicine cabinet for ordinary medicines, and there are also new medicines that he himself planted in the back garden and after the Tang Dynasty in Hezhou. At the same time, there is also a room dedicated to decocting medicines, which is equipped with casseroles and stoves. The other is a fully equipped concoction room.
Zuo Shaoyang arranged for two of the five guards to guard this specialized pharmacy. Because in the future, the dispensing of medicine to the emperor will be carried out in this place. You have to make sure that nothing goes wrong. The door to this pharmacy is usually locked, and the lock is in his own hands.
Zuo Shaoyang picked up medicine and boiled it alone in the house, then put it in a sand jar, and under the escort of the remaining three Ouchi guards, he rode a donkey back to Li Shimin's bedroom in the palace.
After personally administering medicine to Li Shimin, Zuo Shaoyang left the palace and returned home.
Master Qiao, Qiao Guan, Zhu Medicine Cabinet, Bao Shopkeeper, Qu Ming, Qu Family, Zhen Family and many other relatives and friends learned that the Zuo family had returned to the capital and came to visit.
After fifteen years, Zuo Shaoyang's anger has decreased a lot, and he can understand the helplessness of these people who were far away from their own families in distress, so they also came out to say hello.
Master Qiao is already old, Qu Xing is even more dizzy, and Qiao Guan has become a member of the criminal department. During the conversation, it was learned that the old doctor of Xu Yinzong had passed away. The old doctor Zhen brothers have also passed away one after another. Now Zhen's Medical Center is in charge of Zhen Quan's eldest son, Zhen Xuan. Zhen Quan's great-granddaughter Zhen Yao is already married. Peng Bing, the servant of the ministry, was paralyzed due to a stroke a few years ago, and now he has returned to his hometown to recuperate.
Qu Ming, Zuo Shaoyang's top scorer, was appreciated by the emperor last time because he attracted Zuo Shaoyang to resolve the crisis of Emperor Li Yuan, and was promoted to the living house from the sixth grade. With the help of Qu Ming, Qiu Yiju became a teaching assistant of the Tai Yi Department.
Although Zuo Shaoyang is now a flat-headed commoner in the Sanding Jia, both of them know that Zuo Shaoyang is the emperor's big red man, and that is the uncrowned king, so Baba rushed to stammer.
Zuo Gui's father is very happy, the more people come, the happier he is, because he is now a high-ranking official of the third grade, he never dreamed that one day he would become such a high-ranking official, although he is only a loose official with no position and no power, but it has also made him unable to sleep for several nights in a row.
Now that relatives and friends are visiting, the flattering words are endless, which makes him smile even more.
Zuo Shaoyang opened the pharmacy early the next morning, and the opening of the pharmacy was different from other transactions. Nor do they call friends to feast and celebrate. Just clean the house and hang up the plaque.
The children of the pharmacy have been cleaned, and early this morning, when they opened the door with their father, it was considered open. Of course, the lintel is still empty, waiting for the emperor's imperial pen plaque.
Among the seven children of the Zuo family, the eldest son Zuo Wenning, the eldest daughter Zuo Wenzhi, and the third daughter Zuo Wenxue do not study medicine, and the remaining four study, Zuo Shaoyang assigns tasks, and the second son Zuo Wenjing and sister-in-law Zuo Wenyuan stand in the medicine cabinet to be responsible for picking medicines. The youngest son, Zuo Wenshan, sat in the hall with him for consultation. The second daughter, Zuo Wenxi, copied the prescription, mainly looking at gynecology. And the concubines Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan are his surgical assistants and are responsible for arranging the operation.
The faΓ§ade of Zuojia's new Guizhitang is not too big, but there is a special inpatient department at the back, which is something that other pharmacies and medical halls do not have. The medicine cabinet of the pharmacy outside, in addition to the ordinary and commonly used medicines, also has a special medicine cabinet, which is Zuo Shaoyang's new medicine. These medicines are kept in a separate room.
Guizhitang opened, without notifying anyone, and opened quietly, so no one knew about it except for the neighbors. And it has been fifteen or sixteen years since the Zuo family left the capital. At the beginning, Zuo Shaoyang's fame was also created in the Southeast Medical Center and the Barefoot Medical Center, Guizhitang has not been opened, so few people in the capital know the name of Guizhitang, and when communication was not developed in ancient times, the news spread was also very slow, so it opened in the morning, and it was almost noon, and no one came to see a doctor.
The neighbor of the Zuo family came to help open the store, this neighbor actually came to visit the door, and he didn't open the door for fifteen or sixteen years, but now it has finally opened, come and see the excitement.
The neighbors are two middle-aged people, fifteen years ago, they still remember the scene when the Zuo family was arrested by the government, of course, they don't know what happened later, and they thought that the Zuo family had suffered a big ordeal, and they sympathized with it in their hearts and came to take a look.
Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, as the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, he hurriedly greeted the old couple to sit down and greet each other.
The old man's surname is Li, the old couple used to be neighbors of the Zuo family, knowing that Zuo Shaoyang used to be a medical detective, and later became Lang Zhong of the Imperial Medical Department, and then set up a barefoot medical center, and did not need money to treat the poor, but later he was unlucky, and the family was locked by the government, although he was released later, Zuo Langzhong was put in prison, and then he didn't know. must have been in trouble for many years, so he persuaded Zuo Shaoyang to say that there are many unsatisfactory things in life, and now that he has opened a pharmacy, he will definitely be able to slowly prosper his family. The old woman only squinted her eyes and rarely spoke, but her old face was full of smiles.
Zuo Shaoyang was very moved, looked at the old lady's eyes, stroked his black beard and asked, "Old sister-in-law, what's wrong with your eyes?" β
Mrs. Li and her family knew Zuo Shaoyang's family at the beginning, and they were still very young after more than ten years, and the child was already in his teens and twenties, so it was not wrong to call himself his sister-in-law. Hurriedly agreed: "Yes, in the past two years, my eyes can't see clearly, it's a little better in the house, I can't open my eyes when I go out under the sun, it's dry and astringent, and I can't see it well after seeing many doctors." β
Zuo Shaoyang said: "If the old sister-in-law is willing, you can let my son take a look for you." He's pretty good at medicine. β
Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Okay, the two of us came over to take a look at this eye disease." Let's take a look. β
Zuo Shaoyang beckoned his youngest son Zuo Wenyuan over, and now there are no other patients in the pharmacy, and several children are gathered around to see the excitement.
The second son, Zuo Wenjing, saw that Zuo Wenshan was serious and looked at his tongue, so he smiled and said, "Do you still need to watch this?" It's clearly the eye of wind and fire, just use the heat to clear the heat. β
Zuo Wenxi shook his head and said: "I don't think it is, if it was so simple, other Langzhong would have been cured a long time ago." Haven't you heard that the old man went to look for a lot of Langzhong and didn't get cured? β
"And what do you say?" Zuo Wenjing was not convinced.
"According to me, the old man's weak body is caused by the body, and the qi and blood should be greatly replenished, and the qi and blood will be replenished, and the eye disease will naturally be cured!"
Zuo Wenjing said to his father Zuo Shaoyang: "Dad, which of the two of us is right?" β
Zuo Shaoyang smiled but didn't answer, and looked at his son-in-law Zuo Wenyuan: "What is your opinion?" β
Zuo Wenyuan saw that Zuo Shaoyang's expression obviously did not agree with the opinions of the two, so he smiled and said: "The old man's disease is indeed strange, it looks like the eye of wind and fire, but this is indeed too simple, other doctors should be able to cure it, but after years of incurability, it must not be the eye of wind and fire." The reason should be found in other ways. β
After Zuo Wenshan's examination, Zuo Shaoyang asked the other three children to check their pulses and tongues, and said, "What do you have opinions now?" β
The three of them all noticed that Zuo Shaoyang disagreed with their views, so it was difficult to say it again.
The youngest son, Zuo Wenshan, pondered for a moment and said: "The old man has a yellow complexion, poor physique, white eyes are slightly red and not swollen, and his pulse is weak. β
Zuo Shaoyang nodded slowly: "Wenshan looked at it very carefully, and the cause was also very accurate. What kind of medicine should I use? β
"Cinnamon soup!" Zuo Wenshan said slowly.
Hahaha...... Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi both laughed, but his sister-in-law Zuo Wenyuan didn't laugh, although he was ready to laugh at first, but the moment he laughed, he saw the approving look in his father's eyes, and immediately restrained his smile.
Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi didn't notice it, Zuo Wenjing smiled and leaned back: "Father admires you so much, and you don't add glory to your father, -- everyone knows that Guizhi Tang is used to treat sun stroke, but you use it to treat eye diseases, and you really wear a crown." Hahaha"
Zuo Wenshan didn't laugh, nor was he ashamed, he just sat quietly.
Zuo Shaoyang waited for the two of them to finish laughing before asking, "Tell me about it, what other places can Guizhi Tang be used for besides treating sun stroke?" β
Zuo Wenjing thought for a while and said: "It can also be used to show that the evil is not exhausted after sweating."
Zuo Wenxi said: "I remember that it seems that I can still cure the discord between the camp and the guard." β
"Good!" Zuo Shaoyang nodded and said, "Wenshan has already said before, the old man's disease can't clear away heat and diarrhea, nor can it greatly replenish qi and blood, because the old man's illness is the overall health disorder, and the qi and blood are not in harmony and affect the eye nourishment. Therefore, it is symptomatic to use cinnamon soup. This cinnamon soup is the most basic and most commonly used prescription, your grandfather is good at using cinnamon branches and is famous, our Guizhitang name is derived from this, but the two of you have not even understood this basic prescription thoroughly, learn without thinking, half a bottle of vinegar jingle bell, you need to work hard to do it. β
As soon as he said this, Zuo Wenjing and Zuo Wenxi were red-faced and lowered their heads.
At the moment, Zuo Wenshan prescribed medicine, and this old lady Li only used three doses of medicine, and her eyes returned to normal.
Zuo Shaoyang originally told Emperor Li Shimin that his pharmacy opened on the third day, but he opened it the next day, and on the third day, Grandpa Luo came to deliver the plaque with the sound of the royal band beating gongs and drums, silk and bamboo, but he was stunned to see that there were already people in Zuo's pharmacy asking for medical advice.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't explain, brought a ladder, and asked his two sons to carry the "Guizhitang" plaque written by the emperor's imperial pen and hang it on the lintel of the pharmacy.
A few days after the opening, the number of patients who came to Guizhitang for medical treatment began to increase, after all, Zuo Shaoyang was once famous in the whole capital, especially his thoracotomy and laparotomy treatment, and the aconitum attached tablets he concocted have been widely used. Once he knew that his family opened a pharmacy and sat in the hall for consultation, and the emperor personally inscribed the name plaque, the news grew wings, and the number of people who came to the clinic doubled. Soon I had to get the number and queue up.
In addition to decocting medicine to the emperor twice a day and delivering medicine to the palace, Zuo Shaoyang spent the rest of his time sitting in the hospital hall for consultation.
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and after only taking half a month of medicine, Emperor Li Shimin's illness has fundamentally improved, his disease is poisoning, and the treatment of lead and mercury poisoning, Zuo Shaoyang, who was born in a professional class and has more than 20 years of medical experience, is still very sure.
