Chapter 18: Hitching up

Zhang Jinwen wanted to change the dish, but it was too late.

Zhang Jinwen and Zhufeng Zhuqing retreated to the side house in the backyard, there was a wardrobe in the side house, and when the cabinet door was opened, there was a secret passage leading to the small courtyard next door. In case a guest accidentally walks in, several of them can evacuate at any time.

Bamboo Shadow Bamboo Core appeared in front of the guests as usual, serving food and snacks, serving tea and pouring water, and secretly paying attention to the guests' every move.

Today's guests are Lord Fang Qufang, a member of the Zhongshu Provincial House, and his family.

Fang Qu was a Jinshi in the last years of the previous dynasty, Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty in Daxing, and the Fang people moved their family to Chang'an, and entered Zhongshu Province with the recommendation of his teacher. Soon, he became a living housekeeper, and the official reached the sixth grade.

In Chang'an City, the Liupin officials are relatively small officials.

However, the living house of Zhongshu Province is the most desirable position for literati, and when they come to record the emperor's various edicts in the palace, they can show their faces in front of the emperor all day long, and they are familiar with their faces in front of civil and military officials. Second, the writing of the living house is extremely rigorous, which can best test a person's craftsmanship level, and usually the knowledge and attainment of the living house are not inferior to Dr. Guozijian. Thirdly, and most importantly, the housekeepers are the most able to understand the emperor's thoughts, are very easy to get close to the emperor, and are the fastest to be promoted.

Fang Qu has always been cautious and cautious, and is known for his nobility in Chang'an City.

Fang Qu married a middle-aged wife, and has no children so far, only two precious daughters, who are usually very pampered and regarded as a pearl in the palm of his hand.

A month ago, Fang Qu's wife took her two daughters, Iho Yilian, to Zhongnan Mountain Qingyue Nunnery to pray for blessings.

Fang Qu's eldest daughter, Yihe, fell on top of her sister, hit her head, and crushed her sister Elaine's lower leg bone, and the sisters screamed continuously.

It happened that Liu Qing passed by here, claiming to be Sun Shengshou's apprentice, and immediately took out the wound medicine to stop the bleeding in Fang Yihe's head.

Mrs. Fang was so anxious that she had no master, and seeing that Liu Qing's injury medicine was working so quickly, she did not doubt him, so she asked Liu Qing to treat Fang Yilian. Liu Qing quickly connected Fang Yilian's calf, applied the wound medicine, and did a simple bandage.

In the end, Liu Qing used the excuse that he didn't have much medicine for the injury, so he gave Mrs. Fang the only little medicine powder left on his body, and asked Mrs. Fang to leave the address and send the medicine another day.

Mrs. Fang was very grateful, and she had admired Sun Shengshou's fame for a long time, Sun Shengshou only heard of his name but did not see him, and Sun Shengshou's prescription was even more unbelievable. immediately said the address of his home, and asked Liu Qing to send it over as soon as possible, and he will definitely be rewarded heavily.

Mrs. Fang took Iho Yilian back to the city and asked a doctor to treat her daughter.

The wound on Fang Yihe's head was changed by a female doctor, and it could be seen that the wound had scabbed.

Fang Yilian refused to let the doctor change the dressing. Orthopedic doctors have always been men, and female doctors basically see women, at most they clean the wound and change the medicine, and there are few people who know how to barge the bones and graft the bones.

Before the fracture, she was stunned by the pain, and she wanted to relieve the pain, so she asked Liu Qing to graft the bone.

When I got home now, my leg was still hurting, but I was sober, knowing that my legs and feet had been touched by the man, and I was ashamed and annoyed. What's more, now I have to show the wound to a stranger, even if that person is a doctor, I can't accept it psychologically, and I am simply ashamed and angry.

Fang Qu and his wife were helpless, and they only hoped that Liu Qing would enter the city quickly.

Fortunately, Liu Qing entered Chang'an City the next day and delivered the medicine in time.

Liu Qing added two more herbs to the herbs he brought, even if he didn't have to change Fang Yilian's medicine personally, as long as he listened to the servant woman describe Fang Yilian's injuries, he could judge the degree of healing of bone injuries.

After going back and forth, Liu Qing showed his face a few times in Fang's house, and soon Fang Yilian's bone injury healed, but she couldn't walk on the ground.

According to the saying that it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones, Fang Yilian's injuries can heal in only half a month, which is already a great miracle.

Fang Qu and his wife were very grateful to Liu Qing, so they specially set up a banquet in the Xinglin Pavilion to thank Liu Qing.

Going to Xinglin Pavilion to eat was proposed by Fang Yilian.

Fang Yilian was injured and lay at home for more than half a month, and other daughters came to visit, talking about it, it was said that the magic of the Xinglin Pavilion was all come up with ideas, and when the injury was healed, go to the Xinglin Pavilion to eat a few times, maybe you will be able to walk on the ground.

Fang Yilian begged her father and booked it in the Xinglin Pavilion for two days.

After the wound on Fang Yihe's forehead healed, there was no scar, which did not affect her marriage in the coming year, so she was full of praise for Liu Qing's injury medicine.

Originally, she was full of guilt for Elaine, but now she saw that Liu Qing not only cured herself, but her sister's fracture did not leave any sequelae, and it had no effect on her relatives, so she was grateful to Liu Qing in her heart, but it was inconvenient to come forward to thank Liu Qing, so she instigated Elaine and her mother to invite Liu Qing to Xinglin Pavilion for dinner.

Fang Qu is a little strict in official business, but at home, he is spoiled and obedient to his little daughter in private, and he happily agrees to his little daughter's request.

Have a meal, there are compartments in the Xinglin Pavilion, and men and women have different seats, so please please.

In this way, Liu Qing stepped into the Xinglin Pavilion for the first time.

Fang Qu and Liu Qing sat at one table, and Mrs. Fang took Fang Yihe and Fang Yilian to sit at another table, separated by a screen.

Zhu Ying served tea, and Fang Qu was chatting with Liu Qing.

In the imperial court, Fang Qu saw a lot of intriguing old foxes, and he was tired of taking precautions, so he liked Liu Qing very much, who made a good medicine but did not take credit.

"Daochang Liu, may I ask where your hometown is and who else are in your family?" Fang Qu asked very casually.

Liu Qing is still dressed as a Taoist priest, with a dark blue cotton robe and a dark blue Zhuangzi scarf, sitting at the bottom of Fang Qu, answering all questions, very respectful.

"The hometown of the younger generation is Kaifeng, Henan, and there are parents and brothers and sisters at home."

Fang Qu nodded: "Daoist Liu became a monk at such a young age, aren't his parents worried about Gao Tang?" ”

Liu Qing smiled slightly: "The younger generation is not a monk, but the master is an old man, and he requires the younger generation to be strict with himself with the Taoist pure heart and few desires when studying medicine, and there must be no greed, so the younger generation will walk outside in Taoist robes." ”

Fang Qu was quite surprised: "Oh? Not a monk? So what are Daochang Liu's plans in the future? ”

Liu Qing: "In the younger generation's family, a pharmacy was opened in Kaifeng Mansion, and Kaifeng Liu Yidao was the ancestor of the younger generation. The younger generation thought that in a few years, they would either continue to open a pharmacy in Kaifeng Mansion, or get the permission of the master to get an errand in the medical hall in Chang'an City, carry forward the master's medical skills, and help the world. ”

Fang Qu nodded again and again: "It is rare for the future to have such a mind, admire and admire!" ”

Liu Qing just smiled humbly, looking wooden and honest, and Fang Qu looked even more pleasing to the eye.

After a while, Fang Qu asked, "Daoist Liu, if you are not a monk, are you willing to go to the Tai Hospital to get a job?" ”
