The steward of Nalu Mansion didn't dare to slack off, so he asked Zeng Yu to sit in the foyer first, he went inside to report, and soon came out, and said politely: "Doctor Zeng, please." ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "I don't practice medicine full-time, I am still studying to seek fame." ”

The steward of the Lu Mansion said, "Oh oh oh" and said, "Then Zeng Gongzi please." ”

Zeng Yu asked Sixi to wait in the foyer, he walked through the hall with the steward of Lu Mansion, behind the hall is a large patio, the houses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have patios, the patio has the purpose of nourishing qi and storing in Kanyushu, this patio of Lu Mansion is not small, there are more than one zhang wide and two zhang long, there are a few pots of flowers on the side of the patio, and it is not clear what flowers are at night, and the fragrance is a little miscellaneous-

"Ahh Someone in the wing room on the right is moaning in pain.

The steward of the Lu Mansion took a few steps forward and raised his voice: "Master, that Doctor Zeng is here." "Still call Dr. Zeng.

An old squire walked out of the room, medium in stature, a little rickety, wearing a pure yang scarf, wearing a collar with big sleeves and a straight jacket, because of the light on his back, Zeng Yu couldn't see the face of this old man, and he saw Lu Huai in the county ten years ago, and now he has no impression, I don't know if this old man is Lu Huai?

The old squire looked at Zeng Yu twice, Zeng Yu was so young that he couldn't talk, which one seemed to be able to cure diseases, so he was a little displeased, and he shook it slightly, and said, "Where is Doctor Zeng from?" The tone was cold.

Zeng Yu naturally heard the dissatisfaction in the old squire's tone, and arched his hand: "Master Youyun 'judge people by their appearance, lose their son and feather', the old gentleman doesn't look at his late life, and he only says one sentence in his later life: The illness of the little boy in the house can be cured in his later life." ”

The old squire heard Zeng Yu's words and changed his face: "It's not that the old man is slacking, it's really that the little grandson is very sick-"

Zeng Yu said: "The little prince of your mansion has eaten too much glutinous rice, and he is sick urgently, if the medicine is right, it will heal quickly, if it is delayed, it will not be cured-", Zeng Yu shook his head, the seriousness of the consequences is self-evident.

"Then ask Dr. Zeng to diagnose and treat Xiao Sun." The old squire entered the room.

There were four women in the room, two of them rushed into the inner room when they saw Zeng Yu coming in, and the remaining two were servants, and there was a bamboo couch under the north window, and a naked young man was tossing and turning on the bamboo couch, holding his stomach and moaning constantly, sweating profusely, his face was blue, and he looked extremely painful.

The old squire frowned and said worriedly: "Doctor Zeng, this is Xiao Sun, I have eaten too many zongzi in the past two days, and I got up early today and said that my stomach was uncomfortable, and my abdominal pain intensified in the afternoon, and the pain was like a twist at dusk, and I was tumbling and exhaling for more than an hour." ”

"It's not the Dragon Boat Festival yet, so you eat a lot of zongzi?" Zeng Yu nodded, approached and reached out and pressed the young man's belly, the young man's belly was swollen and hard, and the breath exhaled from his mouth had a foul smell, and he looked at the whites of his eyes again, and said to the old squire: "Old gentleman, let the kitchen take a pound of garlic and mash it, and drink it with half a bucket of spring water in the west of the mountain, and the disease can be cured." "The tone is unquestionable, you have to be a doctor, if you are hesitant and unconfident, how can you make others believe you.

The old squire groaned a little, and ordered the servant to do so, the garlic is now there, and the Xishan Spring is not far away, and it is quickly fetched, and the spring water and garlic juice are a large basin, and a servant woman helps the young man to sit up, and the other holds a large basin for the young man to drink, and the young man refuses to drink it after taking a sip, which is really too hard to drink, and such a large basin -

The old squire stepped forward and persuaded: "Qing'er, the medicine is bitter, drink it reluctantly, and your stomach won't hurt if you drink it." ”

The young man was obviously more pampered, and refused to drink, preferring to lean on the bamboo couch and hold his stomach and cry out for pain, and a woman in the inner room also persuaded: "Good grandson, drink a few sips, this stomach pain can't stand it." ”

Another woman, who was the young man's mother, said, "Xiaoqing drink it quickly, it won't hurt if you drink it." ”

Zeng Yuxin said what kind of disease can this mother-in-law and mother-in-law cure, and I still have the credit for dragging Zhang Jingyang to come, and said: "Let people pour him, it's useless to drink only a few sips, you have to drink a fine light, prepare a clean bucket to prevent him from vomiting, and call two male servants to help-", and said to the old squire: "Old gentleman, please go out of the room to avoid each other, don't let this turbidity collide, I'm afraid it will be bad for the old gentleman." ”

The old squire saw that Zeng Yu was in command, obviously confident, so he followed Zeng Yu to the courtyard, and the two male servants then went in to help the servant woman pour the young man's garlic juice. ”

Zeng Yu replied by the patio: "It's okay, it's good to vomit, if it's smooth, then it's okay." ”

The young man in the room vomited so much that Zeng Yu couldn't stand outside the door, and walked a few steps to the patio, and the old squire came over and said, "There is Lao, there is Dr. Lao Zeng, please sit in the small hall." ”

This old squire is Lu Hanlin Lu Huai, and he still has a little impression when he sees it in person, Zeng Yu followed Lu Huai to the small hall to sit, tasted two sips of Wufeng Yunwu tea from this county, and explained: "Mr. Lu, the ancestral medical skills of the late birth are true, but the late birth is not a doctor, but he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he also remembers a lot of recipes. ”

When Lu Huai, who resigned and lived idlely as a servant of the fourth grade, he shrugged his eyebrows, "oh", his tone was a little different, and he instantly returned to his original identity as a squire boss from a family member of a patient who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and said lightly: "The old man has been idle for many years, and he has always refused to go in and out of the public gate to ask for help, and Dr. Zeng should not make the old man embarrassed." ”

Zeng Yu said secretly: "It's difficult to ask for help, I'm still treating his grandson, if you don't have this incident, I'm afraid you won't eat closed-door soup." Said: "How dare the late born bother the old gentleman with mundane things, the old gentleman is an official and upright, not attached to the powerful, the high wind and bright festival makes the late life extremely admired, the old gentleman may not remember it for a long time, the late life ten years ago I had admired the old gentleman's demeanor, the old gentleman's demeanor, which is unforgettable at first sight." ”

Lu Huai listened attentively to the moaning of his grandson in the wing room on the other side of the patio, presumably the spring garlic juice had a curative effect, and he felt a little more relaxed, and said: "The old man is faint, I really can't remember where I have seen Brother Zeng." ”

Zeng Yu said: "In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, at that time, the county order of this county was Wu County, and the old gentleman returned to his hometown in that year——"

Lu Huai nodded.

Zeng Yu said: "In August of that year, Wu Xianzun held a prodigy banquet, and in his later life, he was fortunate to admire Mr. Lu's demeanor at the prodigy banquet. ”

Lu Huai looked at Zeng Yu sideways, with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "It turned out to be a little prodigy back then, and now he is a chic young scholar, oh, the surname Zeng, the old man remembers, there is a boy surnamed Zeng, who is quick to think, it is said that he can be good at poetry and painting, Wu Hou praised it as Xie Jiabaoshu, is you?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'm ashamed, it's a student, who has failed to live up to the praise of Wu County, and has achieved nothing so far." ”

Lu Huai heard the noise on the other side of the room, and he didn't know what the current situation of his grandson was, so he said absentmindedly: "Brother Zeng Shige is young, and he must be diligent and hardworking, and his knowledge will grow naturally. ”

Zeng Yuxin said: "Mr. Lu, I still have a widowed mother and young sister to feed, I know the etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace, this talent and fame are very important to me, I must do everything possible to get it." He got up and raised his voice to the side room and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

A servant woman responded: "The little young master is complimentary, congratulatory!" The words are joyful.

Zeng Yu turned back and said to Lu Huai with a smile: "The little boy of your mansion is okay, sleep well, and he will still be refreshed tomorrow, but don't overeat in the future, and eat less greasy food." ”

The room was quiet, there was no longer a sound of moaning and pain, Lu Huai was relieved, remembering Zeng Yu begging him for a book, and said: "Brother Zeng's family has a history of learning and superb medical skills, thanks to Brother Zeng's treatment of the little grandson, I don't know what Brother Zeng asked the old man to write?" ”

Zeng Yu bluntly said that he failed in the hospital test, his brothers were on the wall, and now he was drifting with his widowed mother and young sister, he wanted to ask for a chance to re-take the hospital test, the hospital test is not better than the township test, the test will be in addition to the chief examiner, there are also invigilators, promotion officers, can supervise each other, and the township test, the examination room rules are strict, it is difficult to have accommodation, and the college test is basically decided by the deputy envoy of the province, so that there is a place to turn around, some provinces have a precedent for holding a re-examination after the college test, such as a candidate is talented and famous, However, if he was unable to attend the examination due to illness or other important reasons before the examination, the Grandmaster of the University of Education specially approved the candidate to participate in the re-examination in order to express his pity.

-- Of course, this kind of re-examination is not held for the examinee alone, but often asks the examinee to rush to other prefectures to take the academy examination in that prefecture, because there are as many as tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 children in one province, and it is impossible to hold the academy examination in one place, and the examination period is determined by the deputy envoy for the promotion of education; after Huang Guoqing, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi Province, held the examination in Guangxin Mansion in April, he will preside over the examination of the six counties of Fuzhou according to the Linfu Prefecture of Fuzhou, and then the examination of the Yuanzhou Mansion. He didn't want to wait another three years, and he might not be able to be admitted after three years, but the chance of winning the retest was greater, because he received special attention, Zeng Yu was confident that he could impress Huang Tixue with his own words, and now he just wanted to ask Lu Huai and Lu Hanlin to write a letter to Huang Tixue to give him such a chance to retest.
