Chapter 25: Dr. Xu
As the leader of the pharmacy in Zhongnan Town, Baohetang really lives up to its reputation. The store is richly decorated, the windows are bright and clean, and the goods are exquisite. There are a lot of valuable Ganoderma lucidum and bonsai of Shou Wu on the Bogu shelf. It is not only a commodity, but also a decoration. In the corner of the hall, there is a specimen of a sika deer, and the antlers are tied with red silk, which is lifelike.
The young man paced unhurried as he grabbed the medicine, and everything was in order. even invited famous doctors to sit in the hall, and many people came to line up in a long line.
Ning Xi remembered something, and had the heart to ask the doctor sitting in the hall, but he saw that there were many people waiting, and he didn't know when he would be able to get in line.
Then he asked the young man who accompanied him: "What is the origin of this doctor, why are so many people queuing up for consultation." ”
The young man saw that although Ning Xi was young, he was exquisitely dressed and not as beautiful as a real person. He came with the Quanzhen Sect again, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and replied respectfully: "The girl doesn't know, this doctor Xu is the imperial doctor who returned to his hometown from the Tai Hospital, and he has seen the emperor's mothers and sisters, and his medical skills are the most clever, but he is a famous doctor invited by our Baohetang." He only sits on this day a month. In order to let Dr. Xu take a look, many people came to the street in the middle of the night to line up. ”
Ning Xi couldn't help but be moved when she heard this, and asked, "I don't know which subject this Dr. Xu is good at?" ”
The guy smiled and said, "What Dr. Xu is best at is curing diseases. Regulate the body, strengthen the foundation, and prolong life. ”
Ning Xi nodded, and his heart was right. Fortunately, Dr. Xu is not good at gynecology or pediatrics.
Ning Xi asked again: "I don't know if this Dr. Xu may make an appointment for next month's consultation in advance?" Many of these people are afraid that they will not be able to watch it in a day. ”
The guy saw that Ning Xi had been inquiring about this doctor, thinking that there were also patients in the family who wanted to see the disease. smiled diligently: "The girl also wants to see Dr. Xu?" I don't know if it's the girl herself or someone else? ”
Ning Xi thought for a while and said: "My father is only middle-aged, but because of his anxiety, his temples are gray in one night. No matter how much the mother begged, it didn't work. I don't know if this Dr. Xu has a way. ”
The guy came up with an idea: "It's rare for the girl to come to Baohetang, it's not good for the girl to run again." Although Dr. Xu is full of diagnosis today, the hour of eating and resting at noon is a rule, and he can't be moved. The little one will help the girl hand over a message to the shopkeeper, and Dr. Yang Xu will help the girl take a look at it during the break. ”
Ning Xi didn't expect this guy to be so knowledgeable and interesting, and took out about two dollars of broken silver from his purse and rewarded the guy. The guy didn't expect Ning Xi to be so generous at a young age, so he was out of sight, and he thanked Ning Xi busily, and happily told the shopkeeper to go.
Li Jushou and Qin Ruofu decided that the medicinal materials they bought this time were already noon. came out to find Ning Xi and learned that Ning Xi wanted to find Dr. Xu to ask for a prescription for Yang Guo.
Li Jushou groaned: "Sister Ning'er is worried about Yang Shibo's feelings, and Jushou understands it. It's just that the doctors sitting in the hall are uneven, and most of them are medical trusts specially invited back by the pharmacy in order to sell medicines, and they will only blindly prescribe some tonic medicines that are fatal but cannot cure the disease. Sister Ning'er can't listen to all of them. ”
Ning Xi sighed and said, "I don't know, it's just that I was in a hurry to go to the doctor." My father's symptoms, no matter how many prescriptions I tried, it didn't work. ”
Li Jushou said: "I'll accompany Sister Ning'er to see the doctor in a while." If it makes sense, we'll try. If not, just give up. ”
Ning Xi nodded yes.
After a while, the man told Dr. Xu that there was an invitation in the inner hall.
Ning Xi and Li Jushou went to the inner room and sat down opposite Dr. Xu.
The weather was hot at noon, and Dr. Xu was slightly plump, drinking tea and wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel. He only heard the shopkeeper say that the distinguished guests from Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain wanted to see a doctor, so he couldn't slack off; Unexpectedly, a handsome young man of thirteen years came in, leading a little girl like a flower.
Ning Xi explained in detail the cause of Yang Guo's symptoms, and talked in detail about what medicines he had taken and what prescriptions he had tried in the past few days.
Doctor Xu nodded and said, "The prescription is symptomatic, but it is not the wrong medicine." I'm afraid the effect is limited, right? ”
Ning Xi couldn't help but feel some hope in her heart, and asked eagerly, "Doctor Xu, does he have a way?" ”
Doctor Xu said: "The old man happened to get an ancient recipe for black hair in the palace, and it is rumored to be very effective. It's just that the medicinal materials on this recipe are rare. Although there are only four herbs, it is extremely difficult to get together. ”
"It's just a medicine, but wolfberry honey. Although Ningxia wolfberry is now expensive, it is sold by Boholtang. The honey of this jade bee used to be difficult to find, but in recent years, it has been abundant in the Baihua Valley, although it is a hundred times the price of ordinary honey, but it is not rare. ”
"This medicine is indeed not easy to obtain. It is necessary to get the thousand-year-old Shouwu of the White Camel Mountain and the thousand-year-old snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains. The old man got this recipe and searched hard, but he only got a 200-year-old Shouwu and a 300-year-old snow lotus, and tried to make a soup drink, although it was also quite effective, but it did not have the legendary miraculous effect. ”
When Ning Xi heard that this recipe had snow lotus, she was disappointed. Snow lotus black hair is not a legend in the rivers and lakes, but it is actually a treatment for gynecological diseases. Improper consumption of Shou Wu is even more harmful to the liver. Knowing that he had met a charlatan, he didn't say anything, but asked lightly: "I don't know how much this decoction is worth?" ”
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "What is priceless." The old man's acquisition of this snow lotus is also a coincidence. If you say you want to buy it, I'm afraid that there will be no place to buy it for a thousand taels of silver. The last medicine was given to an old lady in the palace, and most of her hair was black. If it is really as Fang Zi wrote, the thousand-year-old black snow lotus is used, I am afraid that it will be completely black. The old man and your two dolls hit it off at first sight, so they only accepted five hundred taels of silver. ”
Ning Xi gasped when he heard this, this Doctor Xu is really a lion's mouth. At this time, ten taels of silver can be used for ordinary people's expenses for a year, and he dared to open his mouth to be five hundred taels!
Li Jushou also felt that it was inappropriate, gently tugged at Ning Xi's sleeve, got up and pulled Ning Xi to say goodbye: "Thank you Doctor Xu, there are many disturbances today." Dr. Xu's skillful hands are benevolent, and Ju Shou is very impressed. It's just that my sister is young, and she doesn't bring so much money with her when she goes out, so she has to go home to her parents. ”
When Dr. Xu saw Ning Xi and Li Jushou's expressions, he knew that they didn't believe it, but he didn't think it was angry. Ordered the young man to send them out. Shaking his head, he went to lunch on his own.
