Chapter 25: The Great Road
Is there any way to get the money? Jingci Nunnery was originally a secluded small nunnery, and the incense was not vigorous, so it was absolutely impossible to rely on pilgrims to support it. If such a small temple wants to survive, it will have to rely on self-reliance.
Zhangzhu looked at the medicinal materials in the room, and she still didn't know what source of funds the water purifier relied on to buy these medicines. Most of the water purifiers treat the poor, and she doesn't even want money for medicine every time, let alone consultation fees.
Now if you want to save money with your own skills, there is no other way than to make pills yourself. But this will make Mrs. Shi feel dissatisfied, right?
Mrs. Shui Jing walked in, but saw Zhangzhu sitting at the table flipping through a book, so Shui Jing said to her, "You get ready, we may have to go to the city." ”
"Into town?!"
"Yes, I need your help." Shui Jing said simply.
Speaking of entering the city, it has been half a year since Zhangzhu came to Jingci Nunnery, and she has never entered the city again. Naturally, he never saw the Fu family again.
This time I went to the city to follow Shitai to buy medicine? Or are you going to see a doctor? The palm beads are unknown.
Zhangzhu didn't expect to be able to enter the county seat, she didn't have too deep feelings for here. The water purifier Taihe Zhangzhu said: "If you don't get sick after seeing it, will you go home and take a look?" ”
Zhangzhu shook his head and said, "No need, I'm afraid that I will be delayed and go back by mistake." ”
"It doesn't matter, you just go back and stay for two days."
But Zhangzhu didn't want to think at all, and while talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the county order. Zhangzhu helped call the door, and the person who came to open the door saw that the nun was coming, and hurriedly invited them in.
The servant woman took the two directly to the house where the county magistrate's wife lived, and the county magistrate's wife lingered on the sickbed for several days, and how many famous doctors were invited to see it had no effect.
Since entering the door, Zhangzhu has been lowering his head, and Mrs. Shui Jingshi took the pulse of Mrs. Naxian Ling, and then said to Zhangzhu: "You still come to see this disease." ”
When Zhangzhu heard this, he sat down and took the pulse seriously with the county lady, who was suffering from a woman's disease, which was also her best disease.
Zhangzhu checked the pulse, asked a few more words, and the maid next to him answered for Mrs. County Ling. Zhangzhu knew it in his heart, so he said to the wife: "If you want moxibustion, it's not enough to be afraid of moxibustion, it will take a total of five times to get better." ”
Mrs. County Commander nodded and said, "You can cure it." As she spoke, she looked at the palm beads again, feeling that this girl was a little familiar, and then asked Mrs. Shuijing: "This little girl is Mrs. Shi's apprentice?" ”
When people outside asked, Mrs. Shui Purifier always agreed yes, and she also wanted to relieve the concerns of those patients.
Mrs. County Ling smiled: "I also said that this little girl looks a little familiar, and she always feels that she has seen it somewhere, but she can't remember who it is." ”
The palm beads did not make a sound, she prepared moxa sticks, and asked the county magistrate's wife to lie down, and let the maid on the side be an assistant, she found the acupuncture point and started moxibustion. The water purifier looked at it seriously, she had never taught this set of palm beads, and the palm beads themselves were very proficient.
After staying at the county commander's house for half an hour, the treatment was completely over, and the palm beads and Shui Jing left together. Shui Jing saw that Zhangzhu was really reluctant to go home, so he didn't force it anymore. On the way back, Mrs. Shui Jing said to her: "I will tell the owner of the nunnery to ask her to send you a donkey cart, and it will be easier for you to go up and down the mountain." ”
Zhangzhu nodded in agreement.
After returning to Jingci Nunnery, Zhangzhu went back to her courtyard, and she did not mention to Baoyan about entering the city.
In the afternoon, she was helping to work in the vegetable field, and Song Jinfei came again, and he didn't bother Zhangzhu, just squatted on the wall and watched Zhangzhu busy silently. The two didn't say anything.
The next day, she took a donkey cart down the mountain to treat Mrs. County, and Mrs. County Commander guessed the identity of Zhangzhu at a glance.
"You're the eldest girl of the Fu Dian historian, right?"
The palm bead acquiesced. Mrs. County Commander smiled: "I mean, I look a little familiar, we all know about you, how did you enter the empty door?" ”
Zhangzhu said: "It's a coincidence." ”
When Mrs. County Commander heard this, she only said, "Hey, it's a pity to be such a good girl." ”
Zhangzhu was quiet, as if she had not been affected in any way, this was the path she had chosen, and she didn't have any complaints.
On the fourth day, when she came to see Mrs. Qian, she met a woman at the county order's house, and the woman was none other than Zhang.
Zhang's heart was puzzled, so she and Zhu Niangzi went to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhu lived. This county lady has always loved to put on a show, for these officials and family members have never been very careful, now I heard that the wife of the Fu Dian family asked to see, she originally ignored it, and then thought that the eldest girl of the Fu family saw her for a few days in a row, and she got the treatment of the eldest girl Fu The symptoms have been greatly reduced, so she said: "Please come in." ”
Zhang bowed into the house, but saw the county commander's wife crooked on the couch, and a mother-in-law in front of her was waiting with a tea tray. There was also a faint smell of wormwood in the room. She was still wondering how the county lady burned other incense.
"Greetings to Madame." Zhang squatted down.
Mrs. Prefectural said lazily: "I can't afford it, please get up." Then he ordered a seat to be given.
Zhang's face became more and more flattering: "I heard that Mrs. is not in good health, so I happened to get a good mountain ginseng and sent it to mend my body with Mrs. ”
When the county magistrate heard about it, she asked people to accept the mountain ginseng, and she secretly glanced at it, what kind of good ginseng is so many beards. She didn't wait for Zhang to say the latter words, and said, "Your eldest girl is here just now, does Mrs. Fu know?" ”
Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, I just met." It's just that I don't know where my eldest girl offended Madame? ”
When the county magistrate heard this, she laughed: "What offended? It's serious! Your eldest girl is very good, she has come to see me these days, she has excellent medical skills, and I have been treated a lot by her. ”
Zhang's hearing became more and more strange, when did Fu Zhangzhu learn to see a doctor?! Never before!
Mrs. County Commander said again: "I see that your eldest girl is not bad, although she doesn't like to talk, but she is very stable and looks quite a little girl, but how did a good girl enter the empty door?" ”
Zhang's face was slightly red, she lowered her head and said, "This child's life is not good, Keqin." In addition, she herself was unwilling to marry, so she went to the temple to practice. ”
Mrs. Prefectural Commander said it was a pity.
Zhang's heart moved, and secretly said that the county magistrate's wife had a very good impression of Zhangzhu, or she would have thought of talking to Zhangzhu and let her say a few kind words in front of the county magistrate's wife, maybe she would be exempted from her husband's punishment.
Zhang left the county order's house, and immediately asked Zhu Niangzi to hire a carriage, she was going to go to Jingci Nunnery, she went to Zhangzhu in person and said, this is always sincere enough.
When Zhang and Zhu Niangzi arrived at Jingci Nunnery, it was only in the afternoon, she went to worship the Bodhisattva first, and Zhu Niangzi went to find the palm beads.
