Licorice stood in the corner of the carriage with a heavy medicine box on his back.

The medicine chest is made of sturdy rosewood, three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet high. Inside, there are acupuncture needle bags, common hemostatic medicine bandages or emergency ginseng pills.

Such a medicine box, everyone in the Cheng family has children.

The Cheng family is a family of Xinglin, whose ancestral home is Cangzhou, and has practiced medicine for generations. The children of the Cheng family, since they can walk, learn to distinguish medicinal materials, and learn medical science and medical books. When I was a little older, I began to learn medicine, pulse diagnosis, moxibustion, and so on.

The best sons of each generation will be admitted to the Tai Hospital as medical officers.

Cheng Wang is extremely talented in medicine and has the reputation of a young miracle doctor. Thirteen years ago, Cheng Wang entered Beijing with his wife and daughter to participate in the medical officer selection examination in the Tai Hospital.

Unexpectedly, in an accident, he lost his beloved wife. Then I fell seriously ill and missed the exam at the hospital. Immediately afterwards, he was conscripted as a military doctor by the imperial court and went to the border with the army.

The following year, Cheng Wang's brother Cheng Fang entered Beijing and took the Chinese medicine officer exam in one fell swoop. Over the years, Cheng Fang's career has been smooth, and he has been the deputy director of Tai Hospital from Wupin.

A woman cannot be a medical officer, but she can also heal and save people. The family members of the official eunuchs are also accustomed to inviting female doctors into the inner house for treatment.

Cheng Jinyi studied medical skills with his father and brother for many years. It's just that she is still young and has not officially gone out to practice medicine.

Seeing the familiar medicine box, Cheng Jinyi subconsciously took a look at it, and muttered secretly in his heart.

Cousin Rong grew up in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and no one taught her to study medicine on weekdays. This medicine box must have been sent by the second uncle Cheng Wang. I'm afraid it's just a decoration on weekdays!

Cheng Jinyi couldn't help but glance at the medicine box again.

Cheng Jinrong suddenly smiled and asked, "Cousin Yi, do you think that this medicine box is just an ornament?" ”

Cheng Jinyi: "......"

Cheng Jinyi's delicate face turned red, and he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to smile cousin." ”

The Zhao family has a careful upbringing of their children, and the Cheng family brothers and sisters are all very good.

Cheng Jing'an's mouth was awkward, but he was actually hot-hearted. Cheng Jingyi is also a kind-hearted and soft-hearted little girl. Even if you don't like her, you won't embarrass her in person.

A smile flashed in Cheng Jinrong's eyes, deliberately lowered his head, and said in a lonely voice: "I know, you must feel in your heart that I have not formally studied medicine, and I am not worthy of having the medicine box of the Cheng family, let alone being the daughter of the Cheng family......"

As he spoke, his shoulders trembled slightly.

"Cousin Rong, don't cry." Cheng Jingyi suddenly panicked and said eagerly: "I really don't mean to look down on it. You used to live in the Pei family, and there was no one to teach you medical skills. In the future, if you study with me, I will definitely teach you and never hide it. Cousin Rong, don't cry......"

Cheng Jingan rolled his eyes and patted his stupid sister's head: "Cousin Rong is playing tricks on you, silly girl!" ”

Cheng Jinrong raised his head, his beautiful face was full of smiles, and there were no tears.

Cheng Jinyi: "......"

Cheng Jinyi glared hard.

Cheng Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled.

A small promotion of narrowness quickly fades the strange estrangement between each other.

Zhao smiled happily again: "I am relieved that you are so harmonious and friendly." ”

Cheng brothers and sisters: "......"

Mother, it's time for your eyes to be seen by Dad!

……

Cheng Jinrong was amused by the expressions of Cheng Jing'an's brothers and sisters. The young and beautiful face, lit up by a shallow and bright smile, shines like a pearl.

Cheng Jinrong's appearance resembles his father Cheng Wang, and his clear black eyes are exactly the same as Cheng Wang when he was young. The corners of her mouth are soft, but they look like Pei Wanru.

Zhao looked at Cheng Jinrong, and a long-ago woman's face flashed in his mind.

The younger sister-in-law Pei Wanru is a gentle and delicate woman, with a blue heart and a brilliant heart.

After two years of concubine, Zhao and Pei Wanru got along well and got along very well. At the beginning of that year, Pei Wanru received a letter from her mother's brother and told her happily: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother asked me to go back to live in the house for a while. ”

The ancestral home of the Pei family is also in Cangzhou. Pei Wanru, as the daughter of the Pei family, has been sent to the old house in Cangzhou since she was eight years old. When getting married, it was the steward of the old house in Cangzhou who took care of the family affairs. The day before they got married, Pei Qin, the son of the Pei family, rushed to Cangzhou to get married.

Pei Wanru's status in the Pei family can be seen.

Pei Wanru hadn't seen her family for many years, so she happily packed her luggage, took her daughter, and went to the capital with her husband. When Zhao went to see him off, he casually joked: "Don't go back forever." ”

Unexpectedly, this joke turned out.

Pei Wanru went to Pei's house and never came back.

Leaving behind a heartbroken Cheng Wang, and an ignorant young girl......

Thinking of the past, Zhao's heart was sour.

Wanru, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Jinrong.

……

Half an hour later, I finally arrived at Cheng's house.

This is Jingshanfang, which belongs to the inner city, and every inch of land is golden. Most of the people who live are middle-class Beijing officials of four or five grades.

The Cheng family is far less than the Yong'an Hou Mansion, but the Cheng family only has five masters, plus more than 20 subordinates, and three mansions are enough to live.

Cheng Jinrong returns to Chengfu to live for a few days every year, and he lives in Qinghuan Courtyard. The courtyard is small, but it is elegant and quiet. The yard is not planted with flowers and trees, but with various medicinal herbs.

Not only Qinghuan Courtyard, but all the idle places in Chengfu were planted with medicinal herbs. Even the quaint flower pots under the eaves of the corridor are not delicate plum blossom orchids, but white chrysanthemums and lobelia that can be used for medicine.

Cheng Jinrong stepped into Qinghuan Courtyard, touching a piece of green herbs as far as his eyes could see, smelling the faint fragrance of herbs in his nose, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Zhao said with a smile: "This Qinghuan Courtyard was originally prepared for you, and it has been empty all these years. Now that you're back, you're here to settle down. ”

Cheng Jinrong responded with a smile.

Zhao Shi instructed the maids around him again: "Forsythia, Guizhi, you two lead people to clean the yard carefully." ”

Qinghuan Courtyard is idle all year round, and there is only one doorman and a sweeping maid in the yard. Forsythia cinnamon branches are all capable and useful, leading a few little maids, and within two hours, the Qinghuan Courtyard will be cleaned up and tidy.

Cheng Jinrong had lunch in Zhao's courtyard, and then went back to the boudoir.

It is much smaller than Changchun Courtyard, and it is far less luxurious than the mansion of Yong'an Houfu. But it has the warmth and leisure that the Pei family does not have.

The bright and warm afternoon sun shines in.

Cheng Jinrong sat by the window and opened the medicine box.

There are golden needles in the medicine box, ginseng pills that save the wound medicine and prolong life, and there are several sharp and slender knives of different shapes...... There are also thick manuscripts.

The manuscripts numbered in hundreds, stacked up to a foot thick, and carefully bound into several volumes. After carefully looking at the manuscript repeatedly, the paper had yellowed slightly, and the ink had faded brightly and looked dull.

These are all written by Cheng Wang himself.

The father and daughter were thousands of miles apart, but they never stopped exchanging letters.

Since she became literant at the age of four, Cheng Wang's letters to her family every month are mixed with several prescriptions. When he was eight years old, Cheng Wang sent a complete set of gold needles and body acupuncture point maps.

When he was twelve, Cheng Wang sent several knives with strange shapes, slender and sharp, as well as a thick stack of medical cases. Along with it, there is also the maid licorice.

At this time, there were already very specific classifications in medicine, with a total of seven departments, including Dafangmai (internal medicine), Xiaofangmai (pediatrics), women, acupuncture, eye, mouth and throat, pox, and surgery.

It is common sense for a doctor to be good at one or two subjects. Those who are proficient in the three disciplines are mostly famous doctors.

Cheng Wang's talent is amazing, he is proficient in every subject, especially good at Dafang pulse and acupuncture, and has a reputation as a miracle doctor when he was young. After arriving in the border army, most of the sergeants had external injuries such as knives, arrows and clubs, and Cheng Wang devoted himself to the study of surgery and created a unique medical technique for treating injuries.

Cheng Wang wrote down his medical skills one by one without reservation and sent them to her.

Cheng Jinyi thought that no one taught her medical skills.

In fact, she has been studying medicine with her father.

Her talent for studying medicine is even better than when Cheng Wang was young. She read all the medical books of the Great Chu Dynasty and integrated the prescriptions and medical examples sent by her father.

In her previous life, after she escaped from the capital, she made a living by practicing medicine. At first, she didn't know how good her medical skills were, and she was a little apprehensive. After curing several patients who were said to be incurable, he was able to settle down. After several years at the border, his surgical skills were even more superb.

It is precisely because of this that it will attract that peach blossom catastrophe......

Of course, for the Tatar prince, it was a catastrophe of life and death.

"Miss," Licorice's voice like a bell interrupted Cheng Jinrong's thoughts: "Young Master Cousin is here." ”
