Chapter 35: The Miracle Medicine
Zhou Zhengyi led Ma Qingfeng and Dr. Chen to his study.
The general's study, the sword and the bow and arrow, are the main ornaments.
Zhou Zhengyi's study still followed the old habits, and there were two swords on the bookshelf behind him. At this time, before people are sitting at their desks, there is an awe-inspiring murderous intent.
Zhou Zhengyi knew that the physique of civil officials was weak, so he asked his entourage to light two more pots of charcoal in advance to smoke the study warm.
As soon as Ma Qingfeng entered Zhou Zhengyi's study, he still felt a chill, and he looked around uncomfortably.
On the round table on the other side of the study, there were a bunch of knuckle leather gloves, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Zhengyi pointed to the various wrenches on the table, and said to Ma Qingfeng as if unintentionally: "Master Ma, this is the wrench I keep, and some of them are still from the Western Regions." If you like it, take it. ”
Ma Qingfeng is like a child, pick up this one and look at it, and pick it up and gesture it in his hand.
Pick it up and put it down, pick it up and put it down, and finally hold it in your hand is a white marble jade wrench, with a shallow crack, and a circle of gold to wrap around it, which shows the owner's love for it.
Zhou Zhengyi asked: "Master Ma likes this?" ”
This is used by the emperor, Ma Qingfeng really has a vision!
The emperor cherishes his life very much, is afraid of death, and is afraid of illness, so he is particularly superstitious about all good and bad signs.
However, any damaged belongings will no longer be used.
This jade wrench finger was originally with the emperor for many years, and the night before the Taiyuan army, the emperor found that this jade wrench suddenly had a crack for some reason, and felt that it was a bad omen, and when he was about to throw it, he was picked up by Zhou Zhengyi and held it in his arms.
Later, he found a skilled craftsman to decorate the jade wrench very beautifully, and from the outside, there was no trace at all.
When he took it and presented it to the emperor again, the emperor laughed, praised "ingenuity", and rewarded him with a jade wrench.
It's a pity, Zhou Zhengyi thought with regret, now that I have injured my leg, I can no longer go to the battlefield, and this jade wrench is useless.
Ma Qingfeng asked with a smile: "Lord Zhou, this jade wrench is very domineering, it must have been used by you." ”
Zhou Zhengyi gave a thumbs up: "Master Ma, have vision!" This one is indeed what I've used. He paused slightly: "If you don't dislike it, take it." ”
Ma Qingfeng smiled: "How can a gentleman take the favor of others!" He excused himself in his mouth, but he held on tightly in his hand.
Dr. Chen took the jade wrench from Ma Qingfeng's hand and looked at it carefully: "It's a treasure!" It's a pity that it's just a little bit of a crack. This is the most disliked by the Holy One. Master Ma, such a wrench can only be worn at home, and it is not appropriate to wear it when you go out. ”
Zhou Zhengyi's brows trembled almost invisibly, he didn't expect that Dr. Chen knew so much about the emperor's joys and jealousies.
I didn't expect Dr. Chen to remind Ma Qingfeng so bluntly in front of him.
Ma Qingfeng regretfully put down the white marble wrench.
Zhou Zhengyi laughed: "Master Ma, if you like it, just take it, there are so many here, and then pick one you like." ”
Ma Qingfeng spread out his right hand, his five fingers were open, his palms were ruddy, fleshy, and his fingers were fat, soft, and short: "Lord Zhou, I want to, look!" ”
Zhou Zhengyi's first thought was that this Lord Ma's hand was too much like a woman's hand, and it looked softer than the emperor's hand.
He also stretched out his right hand, the bones were thick, the thick and thin calluses on his palms, and his fingers were a little deformed because he often held weapons.
and Ma Qingfeng's hand together, black and white immediately revealed.
Dr. Chen has seen a lot of people, and there are many students in Guozijian who are good at riding and shooting, and compared with Zhou Zhengyi's hand, it is more than two sizes smaller. Seeing the contrasting hands so close is very comic.
The jade wrench used by the emperor, if you don't say it, is simply tailor-made for Zhou Zhengyi's thumb.
Ma Qingfeng stretched out his left hand, and on the thumb of his left hand was a strip of cloth bandaged by Zhang Jinwen.
The thumb wrapped in two layers of cloth is about the same thickness as Zhou Zhengyi's thumb.
Dr. Chen sighed and said, "Master Ma, your hand doesn't hurt anymore?" ”
Ma Qingfeng immediately proudly raised his left thumb and showed it: "It's not just that it doesn't hurt, it's all right." Lifting the strip of cloth up, a one-fingered glove was removed: "Look, it's all right. ”
On the white and chubby thumb, there was a thin layer of medicinal oil, and at the bottom was a dark red scar more than an inch long, as if it had been drawn with a pen.
Zhou Zhengyi was taken aback, and couldn't help grabbing Ma Qingfeng's wrist and bringing it to his eyes. He couldn't believe that his eyes were so deep that they could heal, but they were not as bulging as ordinary scars.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes that day, I was afraid that he would have thought that Ma Qingfeng's finger was just scratched.
Ma Qingfeng looked at Zhou Zhengyi's expression with satisfaction, this look is much calmer than Mrs. Ma, but the women's families are all fussed, isn't it: "Lord Zhou, I have to thank you for it!" If it weren't for your invitation, I wouldn't have encountered such a miraculous thing, hoho! ”
Dr. Chen's eyes were not good, and he looked hard with his eyes wide open: "Is it really the next day?" ”
Ma Qingfeng was very arrogant, withdrew his hand, and took the initiative to reach under Dr. Chen's nose, with a generous face, casually looking.
When Ma Qingfeng put the drugged cloth back on his thumb, Zhou Zhengyi also recovered from the shock.
He was now sure that Jin'er must have won the mantle of Sun Shengshou.
Thinking about the cans of medicine in the medicine box, he was suddenly looking forward to how the eldest son would call him back after he got it and used it.
Ma Qingfeng finally didn't take the white marble wrench, and chose a gold-covered black jade wrench.
picked up the sleeve arrow again and studied: "This kind of bow and crossbow is so small, I heard that it is commonly used by the Huns and Mongolians. ”
Zhou Zhengyi praised casually: "Master Ma is well-informed! ”
Ma Qingfeng smiled: "People who don't know kung fu can use a sleeve arrow than a dagger to defend themselves, but unfortunately I haven't seen it, and now I finally see it, and I don't know how to use it." ”
What Zhou Zhengyi was waiting for was this sentence: "What's so difficult about this? Master Ma is free, I will teach you. ”
As he spoke, he picked up another sleeve arrow, pulled the mechanism at the painting on the wall two feet away, and flew an arrow over with a "whoosh", nailing the painting firmly to the wall, revealing only the shaft of the arrow with the length of his finger.
Without waiting for Ma Qingfeng and Dr. Chen to speak, Zhou Zhengyi put on the shaft of the arrow, raised his hand, and fired three arrows in a row, and the arrows were to the end, and none of the birds on the painting were spared.
Ma Qingfeng praised again and again: "Good, good, it's really wonderful!" Lord Zhou, the lower officials worship you as a teacher, please don't hesitate to teach! ”
Dr. Chen sighed again and again: "It's a pity, what a good painting!" ”
Zhou Zhengyi laughed: "Master Ma, it's just a small skill, how can you come to apprentice." Dr. Chen, don't sigh, I still have a few good paintings here, I don't know how to appreciate them, I'll give them to you later. ”
