As soon as Emperor Tianduo's voice fell, whispers sounded again at the banquet.

Since the Warring States period, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has been pursued in ancient times. The feudal dynasties of successive dynasties emphasized agriculture as the "foundation of the country", so they regarded the merchants and their party as the "last industry" to be suppressed.

The women and ladies of the official family all looked down on the lowly business of the merchants in the Shinong industry and commerce, and the idea of Su Jiudong's slight change of opinion just now reverted to their initial disgust and disdain for Su Jiudong.

In addition, Emperor Tianduo specifically mentioned that Su Jiudong restored the identity of Miss General's Mansion, that is, she was already a family member of an official.

In order to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, ancient laws clearly stipulated that officials and their spouses and children were not allowed to engage in business.

Su Jiudong expected that if he accidentally answered badly, it might affect Su Fenglan, so he started a brainstorm in his mind, and after a while, he slowly replied:

"The little girl is not familiar with the business, and when she opened the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant, she only contributed money, but she only took the name of the owner, and the business was fully handed over to the shopkeeper. Therefore, before returning to Beijing, he had already sold the medicinal food hall to the shopkeeper at that time. ”

The queen said coldly: "I see... This palace sees that you are so good at medicine and medicinal food, after all, you people who practice medicine will be itchy, and I thought that you would also open a medicinal food restaurant in the capital..."

Su Jiudong said in a rambling voice: "Dong Zhongshu said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so the Shoulu family is just eating Lu, not competing with the people, and then the profits can be evenly distributed and the people can be satisfied." This principle of heaven is also the ancient way, the law of the Son of Heaven should be the system, and the doctor should follow the action. ”

"The little girl knows that the royal officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, otherwise it will be a sign of corruption, which is not in line with the principles of heaven and the way of the ancients, so she has no intention of opening a medicinal restaurant again."

After Su Jiudong finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Wen Yiheng, and when he saw Wen Yiheng nodding, he quietly gave her a thumbs up, and Su Jiudong was able to take a deep breath. Secretly sighing that Emperor Tianduo is moody, and he accompanies the king like a tiger, and he can only escape by being careful.

Su Jiudong's answer was still satisfying Emperor Tianduo, and the dinner continued, and everyone's attention returned to the food.

A birthday dinner was thrilling, and Su Jiudong didn't eat much delicious food, but instead ate a stomach full of fright and nervousness.

But fortunately, the feast had dispersed, and after Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng watched goodbye from a distance across the crowd, they were finally able to go back and have a good rest.

It's just that after this birthday, there were more letters from the noble lady who privately handed a letter to Shao Yuemei saying that she wanted to meet Su Jiudong.

Shao Yuemei secretly opened and read the letters in private, all of which were the contents of asking Su Jiudong for medical advice.

The maid Qianyue saw that Shao Yuemei had folded the letters she had opened and read again, and her hands were still on the desk, so she asked, "Aunt Yuemei, these letters were handed over by those noble ladies and wanted to find Miss Jiudong for treatment?" ”

"Isn't it... Miss Jiudong cured Feng Qianqian's strange illness on the 50th birthday of the saint and was in the limelight, so so many official ladies learned that she was indeed skilled in medicine, so they sent letters to her and wanted to ask her for help in curing the disease. ”

"Then do you want to send these letters to Miss Jiudong?" Qianyue has been a servant in the eunuch's house for a long time, and knows that the women in the boudoir should not show their heads too much. Now that Su Jiudong has received a lot of letters, if all of them are invited to go out for diagnosis and treatment, wouldn't they lose their identity and face.

"Send, of course! The longer Miss Jiudong is out, the more time I can spend with the general... You don't see that since she came to the General's Mansion, she has dominated the general all day long, and she doesn't like the general to get along with me too much, and now the generals don't come to me anymore. ”

Shao Yuemei gathered all the letters that she had opened and put in Qianyue's hand, and instructed: "You quickly repackage these letters, and then send them to Miss Jiudong immediately, it is best to say something to stimulate her and persuade her to accept all these invitations." ”

Among the pile of invitation letters, the most valuable and noble is the invitation letter handed by the founding lady.

After Qianyue informed Su Jiudong of the fact that the founding candidate had a deep friendship with Su Fenglan and had helped Su Fenglan many times in the court, Su Jiudong was the first to agree to the invitation of the founding lady, even if he was unwilling to accept it in his heart.

The matter of reopening the medicinal food hall has been haunting Su Jiudong's heart, and Liu Yunniang also told her before her death that she hopes to see the medicinal food hall reopen, so Su Jiudong has been planning to wait for the complicated things to be over, and then start to work on the reopening of the medicinal food hall.

But Emperor Tianduo's fiftieth birthday became the first threshold to prevent the reopening of the medicinal restaurant.

The second hurdle is the countless letters of invitation in front of me.

Qianyue saw that Su Jiudong's face was entangled, and said in a sly manner: "Actually, Miss Jiudong, you can just pick eight or nine honorable appointments in these letters, and the others can be ignored and refused, and you don't have to accept all of them." ”

"Eight or nine?" Su Jiudong's face was bitter: "I'm tired of treating only one." If these invitations are for flower viewing, tea fights, etc., I can decline them. But it's all an invitation to heal and save people, how can I, as a doctor, refuse... "3a Reading Network

Qianyue pushed the invitation letter from the founding lady to Su Jiudong's eyes, and recommended "kindly": "Since Miss Jiudong thinks that these life-saving invitations cannot be refused, you might as well start with the founding lady." After all, the friendship between our general and the founding candidate is very good. ”

Rumo sent Qianyue away, and when she returned to the room, she saw Su Jiudong holding the invitation letter from Mrs. Founding Hou and worried: "This is the first invitation, and the difficulty is so great..."

Rumo asked curiously: "Miss, what is written in the invitation letter of the founding lady, which can make you so sad." ”

Su Jiudong pinched the letter and leaned it on the Luohan couch, and said lazily:

The letter said that the son of the founding of the country had a strange disease that was not good for urinating, his abdomen was distended like a bulge, and he felt stiffness and severe pain in his knees, and he could not swallow food, and he was already dying. I asked a famous doctor to prescribe diuretic drugs that diluted water and dampness, but there was no improvement. ”

"Actually, the strange disease that the son of the world suffers from is not strange, but it is not easy to treat." Su Jiudong frowned, sighed and said, "After all, I am a woman, and it is really not convenient to treat such a selfish man's illness..."

Rumo suggested: "Since it is a man's hidden disease that is inconvenient to treat, why don't we refuse?" Or, find a male doctor to accompany us, and the male doctor is responsible for the personal examination, and we want to solve the problem behind our backs? ”

Su Jiudong flipped out the letter and read it carefully, and said helplessly: "Since we can't refuse the invitation, we can only do that." ”

Five days later, Su Jiudong invited Dr. Qi from the General's Mansion to go to the Founding Waiting Mansion with him, and he should make an appointment with the Founding Prince.

The founding lady Gan warmly greeted her at the gate, but her face changed after seeing Doctor Qi behind Su Jiudong.

"Miss Jiudong, the concubine sent you a letter, I want you to treat the prince, but you brought someone else here, don't you want to treat it personally?"

Su Jiudong had to explain the reason to Gan's family, and he was finally welcomed into the Founding Mansion.

Rumo complained to Su Jiudong as he walked: "Obviously, they invited us to treat the disease, and we came by appointment, but they are like an uncle at this time, and they put on a face for Miss You, and I don't know what to pretend." Su Jiudong agreed with Rumo's complaints.

After seeing Shizi himself, Su Jiudong was the first to notice the face of Shizi who was lying on the bed with weakness. Because the complexion of the prince is too dark.

The darkening of his face was a manifestation of kidney loss, and Su Jiudong subconsciously thought of several commonly used kidney tonic drugs in his mind, and hurriedly matched several formulas with each other to treat them.

Su Jiudong thought in his heart that this diagnosis and treatment should focus on the part of the kidneys, as long as the kidney function is normal, it will be full of qi and blood, the meridians will be smooth, the body will be healthy, and the condition will naturally heal.

After Dr. Qi carefully examined Shizi's body, Su Jiudong carefully examined the rest of the visible pulse, complexion, knees, abdominal swelling, etc., except for the male part that was inconvenient to watch.

Gan helped Shizi lie down and asked with concern, "Miss Jiudong, how is it?" Do you have a cure for the son's illness? ”

Su Jiudong's face was embarrassed: "At present, the symptoms of Shizi's illness are many and complex, and if he uses the usual treatment methods like the previous doctors, it will definitely not be effective." It takes a lot of thoughtful preparation of various methods and herbs, so let me go back and think about it. ”

Gan grabbed Su Jiudong's hand and said seriously: "The child's illness may only be cured by Miss Jiudong now, please Miss Jiudong must think about it seriously..."

Although Gan was not very satisfied with Su Jiudong's answer, she did see Su Jiudong curing strange diseases on her birthday, so she could only send Su Jiudong and his party to the gate of the Founding Mansion, and watched them get into the carriage and leave.

After returning to the general's mansion, Su Jiudong discussed with Dr. Qi for a while, then came to the bookshelf, and scratched around the spine with his fingertips, and finally was tripped by a slightly protruding book.

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says, "Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, and the outline of all things ......"

Su Jiudong combined the conclusions reached by Dr. Qi after examining the prince, combined with the symptoms she examined for the prince today, and silently recited this sentence in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and slowly fell asleep.

In the early hours of the morning, Su Jiudong, who was sleeping lightly, was awakened by the sound of a cat's meow, and there was a murky complaint outside the blue yarn cabinet: "Whose cat doesn't sleep well at night, and runs out indiscriminately to estrus and call spring... I didn't expect that now it's close to the dog days at the end of June, and there will be cats calling spring. ”

Late winter to early summer is the estrus period for cats. Heat is allowed at all but the hottest dog days of summer. But Ruijin is about to reach the dog days, and there are cats running out of estrus, which is indeed a bit out of place, so Rumo will say this.

Su Jiudong turned around impatiently and buried his head in the pillow, complaining helplessly: "How can I fall asleep listening to this cat meow..."

"Wait, the cat is called Chun..."Su Jiudong had a flash of inspiration, sat up from the bed, and said in surprise: "I finally came up with a way!" ”
