Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sons and Daughters of the Doctor

Xiaogui lived in Li Yu's studio for three days, and the imperial physician Xiong Shihai came to review her body, and also brought his granddaughter Sister Qiao.

The Taiyi Department of the Southern Tang Dynasty inherited the Tang system, not only a hospital, but also a medical school, the Taiyi Ling is the highest leader, the Taiyi Cheng is the deputy position, and there are four departments of medicine, acupuncture, massage and forbidden spells below, respectively, there are doctors and teaching assistants, many local famous doctors, have the experience of studying in the Taiyi Department, the best, and finally will be selected to enter the palace as an errand.

Xiong Shihai is a native of Ezhou, as early as the Later Tang Dynasty, he was a doctor of the Imperial Medical Department, and after the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, he went south to serve the Southern Tang Dynasty, so his identity is a little not embarrassing, although he is a native of the south, he is the kind of person who can be trusted, but his identity is an old minister of the previous dynasty, so in the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he is a very embarrassing role, he is good at gynecology and pediatrics, and has several experiences in curing concubines, princes, and princesses, but the emperor rewarded him:

Spiritual rewards are the mainstay, supplemented by material rewards;

As for promotion, it is a bitterness that can never be obtained.

Xiong Shihai is seventy-one years old, and he is a doctor in the Taiyi Department, and there are two Taiyi Lings in the Taiyi Department, one is called Niu Zhengxing and the other is Xie Huangen, neither of them has any decent medical skills, but Niu Zhengxing is the cousin of General Zhou Zhuocheng, and he is following the path of Li Lianyi, and Xie Huangen is a person who the emperor thinks the name is easy to use.

Of course, both of them are also stunts:

Niu Zhengxing was for the royal alchemy, and the old emperor Li Jing ate his pill and collapsed not long after;

Xie Huangen is good at all kinds of summary reports, an annual summary of the Tai Yi Department, he can write a brilliant flower.

When the two of them went to see a doctor, they went to the back post, because they knew that their two strokes were not very good, and at this time, Xiong Shihai had to go up and support the scene of the Imperial Medical Department.

The Southern Tang Imperial Medical Department is an organization that specializes in making honest people suffer.

Niu Zhengxing and Xie Huangen are both from the seventh grade, but Xiong Shihai is much more miserable, from the eighth grade, relying on Yulu is only afraid that even the education of children will become a problem.

Jinling City is a big city of education, well-known good teachers are hard to find, and the Xiong family must live outside the palace gate, which happens to be not in the school district of those famous teachers.

Xiong Shihai was also helpless, when his granddaughter Sister Qiao was six years old, he began to teach the child to read and write, which was really a chore.

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde and in the ...... close to the people"

Fortunately, Sister Qiao, this girl can read and write quickly, and soon began to read the collection of books at home, Imperial Doctor Xiong saw it in his eyes, and was happy in his heart, there was a child who was competitive, and he was happier than his official and money.

But the rift between the grandparents and grandchildren happened when Sister Qiao was ten years old, and when Tianxiong Shihai came back from the palace to serve the public, he heard that Sister Qiao was studying in her study.

"When you avoid it, you will be quiet and empty, your true qi will come from it, your spirit will be guarded, and your illness will never be safe."

"Su Wen" is a medical book!

I'm really afraid of something!

The old man was in a hurry at the time, and rushed in and gave Sister Qiao a big slap.

"It's not good to learn anything, just learn this! Where did you come up with this! ”

Sister Qiao burst into tears, "Grandpa, this is your book." ”

This knife is even more heart-wrenching.

"You don't want to read Wen Tingyun's poems! Read the poems well, in order to enter the Jinling banquet as a celebrity, as a singer and actress, and later enter the palace to serve the emperor, do you learn a bunch of medical skills, to be a midwife in the palace? ”

These words were already very serious, and Sister Qiao hugged her grandfather's leg and cried.

Grandpa also cried, this is not the kind of world he is good at and adapted to.

"I'm sorry, grandpa can't give you a better background." Grandpa said.

Later, Xiong Shihai simply broke the jar and decided to let Sister Qiao study medicine.

"Focus on eyebrow tattoos, moles or something, I believe that using medical skills to help women pursue beauty is the future outlet." Xiong Shihai told Sister Qiao.

This is also why Xiong Shihai brought Sister Qiao into the palace today to flatter Xia Xiaogui, Xiaogui was promoted to Zhaorong after just two days of becoming a talent, and Xiong Shihai had a small abacus in his heart.

"Your Majesty is very fond of Xiaogui."

"But Xiaogui is a man, so he can't give birth to a son for His Majesty."

"If you take the path of the queen mother and let Qiao'er be her palace maid, the queen mother and Your Majesty have a good relationship, and they are favored every day together, Qiao'er has no chance, she survives until she is twenty-five years old, and finally she becomes an old girl, even if the emperor cares, it is nothing more than to marry a forbidden army officer, not good, not good."

"If Qiao'er follows Xia Zhaorong, the emperor stays in Xia Zhaorong's palace, although Xia Zhaorong can also accept the rain and dew, but after all, it is a flowering and fruitless thing, maybe Qiao'er will have a chance."

"If you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, you have the possibility of changing your court."

"The queen doesn't have a son yet......"

The more Xiong Shihai thought about it, the more he felt that he was too clever in this matter.

The next day, Xiong Shihai asked Sister Qiao to carry the medicine box on her back and came to the studio as his assistant.

"This is Qiao'er, the granddaughter of the old minister, who is only thirteen years old, and will have Xia Zhaorong to help her in the future, if you can follow Zhaorong in the palace, I will be an old bone...... And I have peace of mind. ”

Xiaogui remembered that Xu Yongzhi said one thing.

As long as someone calls themselves "old bones", then nine times out of ten this matter is a pit.

Because he's playing the emotional card against you, using his old age and death to make you do something you don't want to do.

For example, grandpa you force you to get married, and grandma forces you to hold your grandson.

Xiaogui looked at Sister Qiao and understood Xiong Shihai's plan, the old lady doctor wanted to change the court.

When Xiaogui was studying medicine in the Xu family, he once asked Xu Yongzhi.

"Master has such superb medical skills, why didn't he enter the Imperial Medical Department?"

Xu Yongzhi explained to Xiaogui how unfree the Imperial Medical Department was:

The status of the doctor in the court was very low.

The emperors of all dynasties all needed doctors, but the emperors of all dynasties also looked down on doctors.

The best doctor is not as high as a new doctor.

A medical officer who can get ahead in the Tai Yi Department needs to be well-informed and understand politics.

But if you are so smart, why don't you just go into the jinshi and go in and suffer that kind of?

The risk is still high, if the emperor has two three long and two short, I am afraid that the most dangerous person is you.

You obviously know what medicine the emperor needs, but if you hand in the prescription, the imperial doctor will delete the two fierce medicines for you:

"The emperor's golden jade body, how can you use chaihu! No chai hu! ”

If you look at the most important medicine as coriander, you can avoid it.

The emperor doesn't know how to medicine, and then he has to hand it over to the prime minister, who knows how to read, although he is educated, but he is like a mountain across the line, but if he doesn't command it personally, it seems irresponsible.

"The smell of ephedra, I'm afraid it will be halved."

This recipe has been changed again.

Further up, there is the Queen Mother.

The queen mothers of all dynasties are almost the same, they all count on their sons to live, when the queen mother is at ease, she is the emperor's mother, if the son dies, the daughter-in-law will become the emperor's mother, and the queen mother does not starve to death is considered a story of human virtue.

The Queen Mother's fear of the emperor's death is true, but most of the old ladies in the world have a wrong understanding of medicine, and this is true of all dynasties.

"I've heard people say that mung beans are boiled and burned, and raw eggplants are also in charge, or add two taels of mung beans to this medicine."

If you are practicing medicine among the people, you can shout: "Old lady, if you don't like to see it, please ask for another master." ”

Folk doctors have all kinds of cruel words:

"How did you send people over!"

"You're a doctor! Or am I a doctor? ”

"Protect the adult, or protect the child?"

But the Taiyi can't do it, there is a song called "Hundred Rolling Soup", which focuses on the suffering of the Taiyi:

"The patient is a mother, and the family is the emperor, kneeling to ask for a pulse, kowtowing and pouring soup. Entering and exiting the red wall of gold tiles, every day I am worried and frightened, hey, once the king dies, it is inevitable that he will be mourned. ”

The leader changes your prescription because he can afford you.

You can only honestly change the recipe:

No bupleurum and half ephedra.

Then boil the medicine into mung bean soup and pour it down for the emperor.

After the emperor finished drinking, the little eunuch handed over the eggplant and put a hard pestle into the emperor's mouth, the eight-inch-long southern long eggplant, and if he couldn't insert it, he wanted to kick it in with his foot.

The old queen mother looked kind: "My son is finally saved." ”

In the middle of the night, the emperor burped and collapsed.

Then everyone began to hold them accountable, and found that every order was not written.

It's okay that the imperial doctor ordered to tick off the chaihu, but the prime minister's request to halve it didn't fall on paper, and Lafayette said that he gave the eggplant, and he couldn't let Lafayette admit that he killed his son.

In the end, the Tai Hospital blasted the 20 boards of doctors who prescribed prescriptions out of the Tai Hospital, which can be regarded as a royal grace and left you a life, and your broken ass is the marker of a famous doctor.

Once this kind of thing, the doctors all understood, and from then on, all the dishes were mild and sweet, licorice, chrysanthemum, skullcap, loquat, red beans, big red beans, mung beans, taro, and the rest was basically carried by the emperor himself.

This is also why the Chudi epidemic, the Tai Medical Department could not play its role at all.

In the first two months, the Imperial Medical Department was arguing over the drug plan and who to send to the epidemic area, and finally came up with a good idea, they took the patient's phlegm, added tea, mung bean soup, soy milk, tofu brain, rice wine and boiling water to it, and saw which one could make the bubbles in the phlegm disappear, and recommended this kind of drink to the people.

In this epidemic, Xu Zhixun was the one who really dissected the lungs and heart of the deceased (this had to be discussed with the family of the deceased), and only began to prescribe medicine after observing the damage to the deceased's viscera.

Xu once said to Xu Yongzhi: "Among the folk danglang, I don't make offerings in the Tai Hospital." ”

It's really not that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, but that you really understand the logic of the Imperial Medical Department, and then you sigh.

Xiong Shihai, a physician like Xiong Shihai, if he is not willing to serve the king, can open a clinic and pharmacy in the folk very comfortably, comfortable, and the consultation fee is also available, and he can collect a car of disciples during the New Year's Festival.

Xiaogui understands the grievances and grievances in the Imperial Doctor's Department, and he will see through Xiong Shihai's mind at once, but it doesn't matter, Xiong Shihai's granddaughter is a person who can fight for and unite.

This kid looks quite delicate and smart, but his face is a bit big.

It's not the skinny and obedient type that Li Yu likes.

It's not a big problem to want to point out a good family, but if you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, it's better to die as soon as possible.

Xiaogui thought about it, and he had to reply to the old lady Xiong Shihai seriously.

"Old man," Xiaogui addressed him very politely.

This sentence "old man" really frightened Xiong Shihai.

"Don't dare!"

"Why don't you dare? Xiaogui, I am also a child of the doctor's family, and I am the adopted daughter of Dr. Xu of Shanzitang. Xiaogui narrowed the distance with a word.

"Dr. Xu's medical skills are excellent, I have heard of the minister, not long ago, I heard that the family was wronged, and the will to be rehabilitated came down in the past two days."

"This is the emperor's grace." Xiaogui hurriedly added a big word to come in.

"Master Xu can get the snow on his grievances, and Zhaorong can still enter the palace to serve, which is really gratifying." Imperial Physician Xiong hurriedly continued to flatter.

"It's all the emperor's grace, old man, don't you think? Whether it is a civil official, a doctor, or a concubine or a female official, everyone is a person who serves the emperor, so there is no distinction between high and low. Sister Qiao, this sister, I like it very much, and I will definitely do my best to help her. ”

"As for medical skills, I still want you to be a teacher and learn more skills so that I can better serve the emperor. Massage the emperor's shoulders and back every day, so that he can be healthy, and this society will definitely be able to protect it for 10,000 years. ”

This sentence really made Dr. Xiong ponder for a week.

"It's not a waste doctor, it's not a black-hearted doctor, it's a healer! And put it together with the civil officials! Zhaorong is really good at talking. No wonder the emperor spoiled her, the emperor should have liked her at first sight, otherwise why would we have picked her up and cured her! Xiong Shihai, Xiong Shihai, you hugged the right thick legs this time! ”

"Then let Qiao'er clean Zhaorong's wounds first. My old eyes are dizzy, and my hands and feet have not passed neatly. ”

"Seep a little," Xiaogui told himself.

Although she was ecstatic in her heart, she learned from the way Xu Yongzhi talked about business that she had seen in the past, made a casual gesture, and let Sister Qiao clean her wounds.

"Zhaorong, the wound is gradually healing, you don't need to bandage it." Sister Qiao gave a salute.

"Will it leave a scar......

"Zhaorong Hongfu Qitian, it shouldn't be, if there is a scar, I will use aloe vera to help Zhaorong dispose of it."

"It's good, it's pretty neat."

Xiaogui waved his hand, let Sister Qiao go down first, and asked Imperial Doctor Xiong in a low voice:

"This kid is good, but I'm a new person serving the emperor, I don't know this situation, who should I ask for."

"When there are people in the palace, the chief manager Liang Wucheng said that it can be counted, but the queen had better know it."

"Also, that is, after Zhaorong has a new inheritance, if you say it directly to the emperor, it will not be rejected, just say that there is a confidant in your mother's family......"

"Old man, you are so confused, the Xu family has been wiped out, how can I have any mother's family."

"The old minister lost his word......"

"You're about the same age as my grandfather, would you like to hear a few words from my heart?"

"Don't dare to be, the old minister is willing to be ruined!"

"It's not impossible for me to bring Sister Qiao in, but the eldest princess is not used to seeing me, you should know."

In one sentence, Xiong Shihai seemed to have a thunderbolt on his head.

"Being regarded as my person by the eldest princess, I'm afraid it's hard to predict what the consequences will be. That person's style of doing things is not something that ordinary people like us can understand. ”

"Thank you, Zhaorong, for the point!"

"Old man, they are all children of the doctor's family, I will take care of Sister Qiao's future, and I will do what I say."

"The emperor wants to draw my body, don't have a scar on my shoulder, I want Sister Qiao to help me take care of the scar every day in the next few days."

"It's a trivial matter, and the old minister will arrange it."

"In the future, if I can be a concubine and really make my own decisions, Qiao'er will come in again, if I can't do it in the short term, I will go and ask Lord Han or Liang's father-in-law, there is always a suitable errand to worry about Qiao'er, what do you think?"

"Xie Niangniang!"

"Don't call Niangniang, Zhaorong is called Niangniang, people say we are trespassing."

"The minister is guilty!"

"I said something very personal today that I hope you understand. I also hope that in this court, Lord Xiong can also treat me with all his heart. ”

"Thank you for your grace!"

Xiaogui called Sister Qiao in.

"Sister Qiao, it's still tomorrow's afternoon, you come here, take your aloe vera, is your aloe vera in the Western Regions or Fujian aloe vera?"

"Hui Zhaorong, it is a tribute to the Great Food of the Western Regions, and grandpa asked Qiao'er to plant it."

"Okay, you can bring aloe vera, I haven't grown aloe vera, you can also teach me to raise aloe vera."

Xiaogui asked the palace maid to take two small gold bills to Sister Qiao, which was a meeting gift.

Sister Qiao thanked her and left with her grandfather.

Xiao Gui breathed a long sigh of relief, he had to rest for a while, and then think about how to ask Sister Qiao for this thing.

That thing was a recipe that her grandfather Xiong Shihai had opened many years ago.
