Chapter 17 Examination Questions
Zhang Zhang recently took Kang Xing'an to visit all the large and small medicinal herb shops in Penglai County, and An Zi's understanding is not bad, and he can already identify many common medicinal materials. Zhang Zhang also taught Anzi to know some simple words, after all, if you want to follow yourself, it's not good to know a single big word.
On this day, Zhang Zhang was teaching Kang Xing'an how to concoct medicinal materials in the yard, only to hear a knock on the door.
Zhang Zhang looked up, and Pan Langzhong walked in: "Little Divine Doctor, you are fine at home!" ”
Zhang Li nodded slightly: "Is there anything wrong with Pan Langzhong?" ”
Pan Langzhong carefully accompanied the smiling face: "I came to the door two days ago, and I saw that the little divine doctor was doing a funeral in the house, so it was inconvenient to disturb. I came here today because the well-drilling craftsman who had a stroke before, I don't know if the little doctor still has an impression? ”
As soon as Zhang Li heard it, he remembered it, and blamed it for being busy during this time, but he forgot that he still had such a patient, so he nodded and said, "I remember, what is the situation of the stroke patient?" ”
Pan Langzhong said: "The little divine doctor is really good, and the patient's family will carry him to the Rejuvenation Hall for follow-up treatment today. The patient's pain all over his body has been relieved, but how to treat this latter step still needs the little doctor to make an idea. ”
As soon as he heard that the medicine was correct, Zhang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay." Let's go. After that, he took Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang and followed Pan Langzhong to the Rejuvenation Hall.
Zhang Li first called the patient's pulse, found that the pulse had slowed down, and then looked at the tongue, and the tongue was normal. After asking a few more words, he opened another party and handed it to Pan Langzhong.
After sending Zhang Zhang and the others away, Pan Langzhong opened the prescription, and after glancing at it, he hurriedly slipped out of the back door.
Pan Langzhong hurried to Ji Mansion, and what Ji Langzhong had told him before now needs to be reported.
The porter took Pan Langzhong directly to the inner house of Ji Mansion, and Ji Langzhong was recuperating in the house.
Although Ji Langzhong lost face in Liu's Mansion before, all the officials present at that time were officials, not to mention that Langzhong's treatment could not be 100% cured, so no one made any noise about this matter. In the eyes of everyone, Ji Langzhong is still the Langzhong with the highest Chinese medicine skills in Penglai County.
Ji Langzhong's medical hall has already been taken over by an apprentice, and he will not treat people outside. Only when a dignitary is sick will he go for treatment.
Pan Langzhong entered the room, and before Ji Langzhong could speak, he hurriedly handed over Zhang Li's prescription: "Mr. Ji, look at this recipe...... It was the thief boy who drove it! ”
When Ji Langzhong heard this, he hurriedly took it.
After carefully looking at the prescription in his hand for a long time, Ji Langzhong lost his voice and said: "Steady!" Wonderful! Break off! ”
Pan Langzhong was still a little puzzled, and there was a puzzled look on his face.
Ji Langzhong gritted his teeth and said: "This thief kid's medical skills are too superb, if you don't kill him, there will be no place for me in this Penglai County in the future!" ”
Pan Langzhong was still confused, Ji Langzhong was silent for a long time before he said: "Evidence of stroke, I'm afraid this kid has been treated many times before, but it is completely unreasonable!" He didn't pay attention to hemiplegia, but first treated the pain, and then the cold and fever! It's like two armies facing each other, first cut off the wings, and then attack the most difficult main force of the Chinese army! ”
Pan Langzhong understood a little now, and said, "Mr. Ji, then our plan ......"
Ji Langzhong quickly put away the prescription, handed it back to Pan Langzhong, and said, "Continue to use his prescription to catch medicine for patients!" If I hadn't predicted, there would have been a remission. When the patient has the next follow-up visit, it will be the time of the thief's death! ”
Pan Langzhong was a little puzzled, but he saw Ji Langzhong smiling, with a harmless expression on his face: "The next follow-up, he will have to treat this hemiplegia!" Hum! ”
Miss Ling'er has been waiting at the door of Zhang Li's house for a long time, and Zhang Li's prescription is very effective, and the patient's body has fully recovered. At this moment, she was waiting here, and she came here to express her gratitude to Zhang Li.
Seeing Zhang Zhang and the others appear in sight, Ling'er couldn't help but shout loudly: "Little Divine Doctor!" Gee! You're amazing! ”
Zhang Li took a closer look and saw that it was Miss Ling'er, and said with a smile: "What? Is the prescription last time still symptomatic? ”
Ling'er looked adoring: "My little ...... Hmm--the patient used your prescription, it was really a medicine to cure the disease! ”
Kang Xing'an hurriedly said: "My young master's medical skills are superb, Miss Ling'er, you still have a lot of medical cases that you haven't seen!" ”
Since the last time they agreed on their identities, Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang quickly entered the role, and these days they have called Zhang Li as "my young master", and the purpose is naturally to cover up Gao Yuanliang's identity as a deserter. If it's Zhang Li's family, at least it won't make people suspicious.
When Ling'er heard this, she chuckled: "I'm completely convinced!" ”
Zhang Zhang asked, "Let's talk about business, how is the patient?" ”
Ling'er said: "My family...... The patient's cough has been cured, and the evidence of chest tightness and depression that she used to say before is gone! ”
Zhang Zhang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that if I cured the patient, you would worship me as a teacher?" ”
Ling'er's face turned red and said, "Oh, I want to apprentice, but ...... Mmmm, let's not talk about that! I'll come back next time, next time......"
Before she finished speaking, Ling'er ran away as if she had fled.
This girl!
Zhang Li sneered, shook his head, and then took Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang back to the courtyard.
……
Ji Langzhong's body has recovered, and on this day, Penglai County made Master Ma occasionally contracted a cold, so he sent someone to invite Ji Langzhong to visit him.
When he came to the backyard of the county office, Ji Langzhong showed Ma Xianling, but it was just an ordinary minor illness, and he quickly prescribed a prescription.
Seeing that he was fine, Ma Xian Ling also put his mind at ease, and was about to send Ji Langzhong away, but he never thought that Ji Langzhong opened his mouth.
"Lord Ma, the little people have something to ask for, and I hope that Lord Ma will be fulfilled!" Ji Langzhong saw that there was no one in the room, so he went straight to the point.
Ma Xianling showed a puzzled look: "Oh? ”
Ji Langzhong smiled slightly, put the medicine box he was carrying on the table, and then lifted the lid.
I saw a neat row of silver bills placed inside, as many as twenty of them, and the size of which could be seen at a glance was ten taels and one ingots.
Ma Xianling was taken aback: Two hundred taels?! This Ji Langzhong is really generous! I don't know what to ask for?
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were extremely low, and the county order of the seven grades was only seven stones and five buckets per month. Even if the price of grain has risen wildly since the Chongzhen Dynasty, in the early years of Chongzhen, it would probably only be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver - of course, only living on Yulu, I am afraid that there will be only one Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years!
Ji Langzhong's shot is the salary of the county lord for nearly two years, which is a very big deal.
Ji Langzhong quickly closed the lid of the medicine box, and then attached it to Ma Xianling's ear, and said like this.
After listening to Ji Langzhong's words, Ma Xian Ling thought for a moment and said with a smile: "For such a trivial matter, do you want me to come forward?" Uh, in this case, you give Qi Ban the first few taels of silver first, and let him come forward first. Remember to do the foreplay well, and I'll clean it up for you. Don't let me cāo heart on the bright side, go down. ”
Seeing that Ma County's order was agreed, Ji Langzhong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and left happily. After leaving the back office, he came to the front yard, and took out five taels of silver and gave it to Lao Qi, the head of the fast catching team, and asked for it like this. The head of the Qi squad accepted the money without saying a word, and promised again and again, only saying a trivial matter.
Since Zhang Zhang saved the life of the prefect Li in Liu's Mansion with the technique of returning to the yang with a golden needle, from time to time some officials and eunuchs have come to Zhang Li for diagnosis, and the income from this diagnosis has gradually increased.
Mingyue Tower is the most high-end restaurant in Penglai County, located in the middle of the county next to the bell and drum tower, usually receive most of the eunuchs, scholars and Confucians.
In the hall of Mingyue Building, Zhang Li was dressed in Confucian clothes, wearing a square scarf, wearing a white brocade silk shirt, and Chen Qiao shoes, and Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang picked a table in the corner, eating wine and food.
Originally, Kang Xing'an and Gao Yuanliang were dressed as medicine boys and family nurses respectively, and they couldn't be at the same table with the "young master" tension, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette itself collapsed, and the tension went his own way, so how could others care?
Zhang Zhang acted like this, but Kang Xing'an and Gao Yuan's conscience was quite moved, and the young master did not treat them as outsiders.
The Mingyue Building was full of people, and the geisha singing songs shuttled through it, and Kang Xing'an's eyes widened when he saw it.
Although Gao Yuanliang is a martial artist, his original status is not low, and he is used to this.
Zhang Zhang is staring at the pair of Chen Qiao shoes on his feet at the moment, which were newly purchased yesterday and cost Zhang Li seven dollars of silver.
In "The Words of the Golden Vase Plum", Ximenqing appeared for the first time, and the author described him as wearing it and saying that "the shoes of Chen Qiao are finely connected under his feet".
Zhang Zhang knew that although Jin Zhumei wrote about the Song Dynasty, the details of her life were all from the Ming Dynasty.
Hehe, I wear the same shoes as the Ximen officials, not bad!
In fact, Chen Qiao shoes are a kind of puff shoes, and the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether they are high or low, they are very fond of wearing puff shoes. Because it has a large opening, it is breathable and cool to wear in summer. Its compilation is very cumbersome, it is made of selected pampas hearts, and there is absolutely no trace of weeds.
Among the shoes made in various places, the producers in the Chenqiao area of Jiangnan are the most famous, and they are well-known, so they are called "Chenqiao shoes", which has the taste of some famous brands in later generations.
In the midst of his reverie, the conversation of a table in the middle of the hall aroused tension's interest.
I saw a white-robed scribe say in a loud voice: "Brothers, the report has come out in the newspaper for today's examination, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”
Zhang Zhang was stunned, the imperial examination questions? Or will you try?
The examination is the penultimate level of the exam, and it is taken in the Beijing Gongyuan exam, and after passing the exam, it is a jinshi. The last level of the palace examination is only determined by the emperor in the end, and it is not eliminated.
Soon the tension reacted, this year is the fourth year of Chongzhen, and it happens to be the triennial big competition, and the meeting should have passed the test in the spring.
There were five or six scholars at that table, and one of them said, "I don't know ...... before I have time to see it."
Another young scribe said: "I have read the Di newspaper below, and I have memorized the four meanings in the test questions, so I will memorize them for you." ”
