Zuo Shaoyang said: "How come? Although your asthma is very serious, it will not be life-threatening if it is treated effectively now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Not this!" Peng Bing said gloomily, "It's a retirement from illness!" Originally, the emperor let me be cured well, and I was ...... snorted, but a few days ago, the emperor called me and asked me about my physical condition, and at the end, he said, if I can't cure this disease, it's better to retire. Whew, ......whew, whew, I am sixty-six years old this year, and if I am really ill for a long time, I will have to retire. But I'm really unwilling! cough cough cough ......"

Only then did Zuo Shaoyang understand that the reason why Peng Bing was in such a big battle and came to the Southeast Medical Center to see a doctor was not only because Du Yan asked him to find a way to improve his reputation, but also because of his own illness, he figured it out, believed in his own medical skills and medicinal materials, and decided to let himself treat him.

Although the retirement age in the Tang Dynasty was sixty-five years old, if you were strong enough to work, you could not retire without a cap, and you could work until your body was really unable to do it. The old doctor of Xu Yinzong, who is a regular attendant of the free horse, is nearly 100 years old, and he still goes to court every day and has not retired. So from this point of view, the officials of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be lifelong.

A high-ranking official like Peng Bing is most afraid of retiring, as long as he is allowed, he will stay in the official position with a dead face. Therefore, when the emperor talked to him and asked him to retire, he was really anxious, although he still didn't believe much in Zuo Shaoyang's new medicine, but when he was forced to do this, he could only fight to the death, so he came to Zuo Shaoyang to find a way.

After Zuo Shaoyang touched Peng Bing's pulse and looked at his tongue, he groaned: "Your illness is getting worse and worse, you have to help the innate Yuan Yang and suppress the turbid Yin Qi, which will take a long time to take effect, but I am afraid that it will take more time to treat." ”

Peng Bing asked nervously, "How long will it take to be cured?" cough cough cough ......"

"At least three or five months, at most a year and a half."

"So long?" Peng Bing's face was scorched, and when he was in a hurry, he coughed even more: "Brother Xian, I can't wait so long!" cough cough cough cough ......, the emperor is only afraid that he will see my condition again...... If I get better, I will be ordered to retire from my illness! Ahem, cough, cough ......, Doctor Sun can't save me! Woohoo ......, brother Xian, is there a way to ...... How many days will I get better? Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......,"

Zuo Shaoyang spread his hands: "Your illness has dragged on for too long, and I am not a fairy!" ”

"Even if it can't be cured immediately, ...... huhuhu, let me see that I can get by. Please, brother Xian, think of a way, ...... swoop, the fate of your brother's official career is on you! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......," Peng Bing said in a low voice with a bitter face, coughing and wheezing.

"If you just want to look good on the surface, there is a medicine that can be used, but this medicine is ......"

When Peng Bing heard this, he suddenly seemed to have caught a straw in a drowning man: "Brother, what medicine are you talking about?" No matter how expensive it is, I spend money on it! ”

"It's not a matter of money," Zuo Shaoyang said, "This medicine, uh, is called Huashan ginseng, yes, this, the ancestral secret recipe, only I know, what is not in the pharmacy, you have to go up the mountain to dig it!" ”

Huashan ginseng is a kind of cough and asthma medicine that has only been used in modern times, especially for long-term cough, it can be effective in a short period of time, and it is a fast-acting cough and asthma medicine, especially for asthma. It's just that it was not used as a medicinal herb in the early Tang Dynasty, so it couldn't be bought in the pharmacy.

Peng Bing stood up and bowed, coughing and said, "Brother Xian, then there is only hard work for you, don't worry, you helped Brother Yu, cough cough cough...... The foolish brother will never treat you badly, what do you want, as long as the foolish brother has it, the foolish brother can help, just say! cough cough cough ......"

Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted to say that he didn't want anything, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again, why, although he called himself a brother and a brother, he was afraid that he didn't regard himself as a true brother in his heart, just because of his relationship with Du Yan, he needed to win himself over, and he would have an internal response in the future, so as to figure out the thoughts of his boss Du Yan, of course, the current purpose is to let himself help him treat his illness so as to keep his official position. This person is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he holds real power, but he doesn't want to be an official, especially if he doesn't want to be a big official, so he doesn't want to say anything about asking him to be promoted, but when he can help expand his medicine garden, he is an official to do this position, and he is afraid that the money from corruption and bribery is indispensable, and there are still 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion for ten years, so there is no need to be polite to him.

Thinking of this, he said: "The eldest brother is serious, and he treats the eldest brother with his illness, and he still talks about money." Hehe, the little brother's ancestral secret recipe has a lot of medicines that cannot be bought in ordinary pharmacies, and when encountering patients who need to use these medicines, they can only go up the mountain to dig, which is very troublesome, and when they encounter seasonal inconsistencies, they can't dig on the mountain, which delays the treatment. Alas, some time ago, I spent all my parents' savings for many years, sold the valuable things in the family to save some money, bought some houses behind my house, leveled and prepared to plant medicinal materials, so that it is easy to manage and easy to use, but unfortunately, alas, there is not much money, only bought a palm-sized place. Can't grow anything. ”

Peng Bing coughed and said, "Why didn't the virtuous brother say earlier, planting medicinal materials is a good thing for the benefit of the people, in this way, cough cough cough...... You don't have time to care about these idle things, leave this matter to me, huhu......, I'll find someone to help you do it, let's go to your house now, we will be brothers in the future, I haven't been to your house yet, cough cough cough...... It's too much to say. After I went, I took care of the rest. cough cough cough ......"

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, this Peng Bing is so generous, naturally because he is Du Yan's henchman in his eyes, so he helps himself buy land to repair the medicine garden, on the one hand, it is to cure the disease and protect the official hat, on the other hand, it is naturally to please himself, which is equivalent to spending money to buy relationships.

Now he is helping himself to expand the medicine garden, which is a good thing, if the medicine garden is big enough, then the new medicinal materials suitable for planting here can be planted, so that there are two medicinal material bases, one in Hezhou in the south and one in Chang'an in the north, so that basically most of the new drugs can be planted. Of course, you can also dig an artificial lake, which is also something you dream of.

Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "Thank you eldest brother for your help, the younger brother must make a good medicine garden, a variety of medicinal materials, for the benefit of the people." ”

"Yes, huh, ......, in the future, this kind of thing for the benefit of the people, just tell my brother, our brothers will not be polite in the future, huh, huh, ......hey, - this Huashan ginseng thing, cough cough cough ............" Peng Bing was most concerned about this matter.

"I immediately set off to Huashan to dig this medicinal material, and when I come back, I will go to the eldest brother's mansion to treat the eldest brother!"

"Great, I'll send a few people to follow you, the terrain of Huashan is very treacherous, and there are fierce beasts from time to time, cough cough cough...... Don't be in danger. cough cough cough ......"

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said: "No need, I often go up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs, it's not that dangerous, and fierce beasts are also very difficult to encounter, besides, in fact, fierce beasts are more afraid of people, and there is no danger if you know how to deal with them." ”

Peng Bing guessed that Zuo Shaoyang might be keeping the prescription secret, so he didn't want others to follow, so he said, "Brother Xian, cough cough...... There is still about half a day's journey to Huashan, you have to ride a horse, the foolish brother still sends someone to send you there, ...... huh, to the foot of Huashan, you go up the mountain to dig medicine, I let them wait for you to come back at the bottom of the mountain, and then escort you back, so good? cough cough cough ......"

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay, then thank you big brother!" ”

"Without further ado, let's go and go to your house first. I'm going to call someone to call the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry now, they have experience, cough cough cough ......, you tell them the requirements of the medicine garden at that time, I will let them repair it, and you don't have to worry about the rest, I will leave it to my brother! ”

With that, the two left the consultation room.

Liao Medical Supervisor and the others stood at the door from a distance with their hands down, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and when they saw Peng Bing and Zuo Shaoyang coming out, they hurriedly greeted them, with a smile on their faces.

When Peng Bing saw them, Guan Wei immediately came out, wheezing in his throat, and squinted his eyes and said: "Lord Zuo is the brother of the official, he is ...... the official, the official is a little unwell, he wants to go out to help the official dig medicine and come back for treatment, and he won't come these days." cough cough cough ......"

"Yes! Be! The smile on Doctor Liao's face was even brighter, his waist was arched like a shrimp, and he lowered his body half a year and agreed.

When the sycophant heard this, Zuo Shaoyang turned out to be the brother of the servant of the ministry, and Princess Yongjia supported him in the back, which was as dare not look up as the sun in the sky, and he also laughed like a rotten eggplant, and kept nodding to Zuo Shaoyang.

Peng Bing kept wheezing and said to Doctor Liao: "You're not bad, cough cough...... It is very good to know how to appreciate my brother's brilliant medical skills, and in the future, I will report more articles like this, and I will ...... it. Let more patients know about my brother's brilliant medical skills, cure diseases and save people, and benefit the people! cough cough cough ......"

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Liao listened to Peng Bing's highly praised article on his medical skills to Zuo Shaoyang, and he was very proud, and hurriedly agreed.

The guy brought Zuo Shaoyang's official horse, but Peng Bing asked Soap Li to lead the horse to follow, took Zuo Shaoyang's hand, and asked him to go with him in the car. However, after thinking about it, I can understand that Master Peng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is only afraid that he already knows that Zuo Shaoyang is Princess Yongjia, so he can naturally stammer.

The crowd waited for Gong to be sent outside the door, and it was not until the carriage convoy was far away that they began to grunt. The eyes and mouth are full of admiration and envy, of course, the jealousy in the heart cannot be revealed.

Zuo Shaoyang took Peng Bing's team to the door of his house, knocked on the door, Miao Peilan came to open the door, and saw Zuo Shaoyang standing at the door with an old man in an official robe, a little flustered, and he didn't know what to say, so he blushed and bowed his head to the side.
