Chapter 3: Avoiding the Plague Pill

"Second brother, this Chinese New Year's Eve, the shops are closed, where are you taking us?" Dorona blinked his two small eyes and tightened the collar of his fox fur jacket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"New Year's greetings." Su Wen's face was cold, but his heart was very relaxed, he looked at the ...... selling jelly beans, preserved fruits, sugar gourds, and large flat almonds on the street with great interest, a group of children were surrounding them, all with smiles on their faces, whether they were poor or rich, the rich could buy some mixed (all kinds of preserved fruits), and the poor could make do with a little jelly beans, and they could celebrate the New Year.

The sound of "crackling" firecrackers has not stopped since going out, and the people on the street are hanging festive watermelon lanterns, and the red group is lit with candles, which makes people feel the festive New Year's flavor.

The road is not difficult to walk, but he doesn't know any people he meets, but the second master and the second master are full of titles.

Duolonga and Hu Jinbao glanced at each other, "Second brother, we brothers, I heard that you woke up, and ran over happily, the dumplings of the fifth watch haven't been eaten yet, which year are you worshipping?" Besides, it's not time yet! ā€

"Oh, and the rules?" Su Wen stood still, the shop that did not open in Chinese New Year's Eve, this past life and future life are probably the same, this has eaten dumplings and then greeted the New Year, well, it is similar. But the store is not open, where can I get money? I also promised three days to others! He couldn't help but regret that he had been a little reckless.

"New Year's greetings are fake, find some money, it's true!" He pondered for a long time and said slowly, and sparks immediately appeared in the eyes of the two.

"Is it to Uncle Cheng's house?"

"Let's go to General Liu's house!"

"Hehe, don't go anywhere! You say, which pharmacy is the biggest and the best? ā€

Hu Jinbao opened his mouth and came, "Of course it's the Yue family's Derentang." ā€

"Okay, the pharmacy is closed, then go to Derentang's - Yue's house."

"Second master, don't make it difficult for us, you take the pulse of the doctor, I'll be honest, doesn't that cost people's lives?" A newly-dressed middle-aged housekeeper brought tea to the New Year, with a cautious face, laughing and talking.

"Hehe, it's the New Year, and there is no rice or noodles at home, so I want to go to your clinic next year to see a doctor, and advance some silver in advance, isn't this okay?" Su Wen said "patiently".

Duolonga and Hu Jinbao stood behind him with their hands crossed, but they couldn't hold back a smile.

"Silver, our master said, this is a little meaning, not a tribute," the housekeeper took out some loose silver from his sleeve and smiled respectfully, "The New Year can't let you run in vain, right?" But he scolded in his heart, the New Year is a happy celebration, these old guns can be sent away, this is the old man of the Yue family.

Su Wen's face sank, and he pushed the silver, "Send the one who wants to eat!" He stood up suddenly, "We really came to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Yue, and since the old lady refuses to see him, we won't bother." ā€

He turned around and walked outside the flower hall, and Duolonga hurriedly picked up the broken silver on the table and followed Su Wen.

This is all an old routine, the silver is false, but the face can't be avoided, the silver that Su Wen "doesn't want", he and Hu Jinbao have to "pick it up".

He was looking down and grinning happily, "bang", and put it on a person.

"Second brother, why are you back again!?" Duolonga looked puzzled, and when he raised his face, he saw that it was Su Wen who was walking in front.

"No merit is not punished, let's pay New Year's greetings is a courtesy, you took other people's silver, it was blown by the wind!" Su Wen sat down again, picked up the tea bowl, and drank the tea in one go.

The housekeeper is so angry, but he still has to smile on his face, why can't this plague god be sent away? This big family is waiting for him to celebrate the New Year!

"Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" Su Wen said.

"Ah, what?" The butler's eyes widened, and his smile froze, this group of people, the reputation in the inner city is too bad, and there are too many bad tricks for the whole person, he has to guard against it.

"Let you take it, you will take it, what do you say!" Hu Jinbao's bull eyes widened, as if he was about to make a move, so the housekeeper waved his hand in fright and ordered, "Go, bring it." ā€

In the blink of an eye, things were placed on the table, and Su Wen stood up, "Duolong, grind the ink!" ā€

Duolong's cheeks were bulging, and the two noses twitched with laughter, and he whispered, "Second brother, in the official school, ...... your words?" ā€

"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to grind, you will grind! ā€

"Wow! The word 'Fu' is not overcharged, ten taels of silver will be done! Duolonga happily agreed, he winked at Hu Jinbao, and both of them figured out what kind of trick Su Wen must make, this big New Year, everyone wants to be happy, and they don't want to give birth to right and wrong.

Su Wen picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, thought about it, and wrote the first word on the rice paper.

Duolonga, Hu Jinbao, and the housekeeper couldn't help but come over with the little servant waiting next to them, only to see a black character as big as a walnut on the rice paper, "Xiong-"

This character can only be said to be decent, I knew that I had to cross, and I had to practice the brush words well, Su Wen felt ashamed for a while.

He looked at the stunned Duolonga, and Duolonga immediately reacted, "Second brother, good words!" ā€

Hu Jinbao was not to be left behind, "Second brother, it's time to catch up with the words of Liu Yong and Liu Daxue, okay!" ā€

Both of them were guessing that Su Wen wanted to exchange words for money, and they both coaxed vigorously.

The housekeeper's nose is about to be crooked, just this word, it is stronger than a three-year-old child who has just entered Mongolia, how can it be compared with other university scholars?

Without mentioning his nose, Duolonga read out loud, "Eight taels of male yellow, one pound of ghost arrow feathers, and one pound of salvia...... Ouch, my second brother, aren't you writing a prescription? What is this word? He pointed to the word "sen."

Su Wen immediately understood that the traditional Chinese character "ginseng" may not be written like this, but he searched his brain and couldn't think of a way to write the traditional Chinese "ginseng", so he had to smile and say, "I write my words by hand, how can others be restrained!" If you can get to know each other, you can do it! ā€

Hu Jinbao clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, I heard my father say that the words of a great calligrapher can be written in simple terms!" ā€

The butler's nose couldn't help but tilt another angle, but he could only helplessly watch Su Wenbi walk the dragon and snake.

However, he didn't wait long, Su Wen put down the pen in his hand, he picked up the rice paper, blew it, waited for the ink to dry a little, and handed it to the housekeeper, "Please go again and present this to Master Yue, if Master Yue is still gone, we will go away by ourselves." ā€

The housekeeper took the letter suspiciously, but he laughed out loud, "Su Er-master, you won't be beaten, you are confused, our Yue family has been doing Qihuang's business since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty,...... Hey, why does your recipe only have three flavors, what is the flavor in the back, and how is it only the amount? He shook the prescription in his hand and looked at Su Wen with a smile.

"How do you speak?" Hu Jinbao yelled, "Celebrate the New Year, can't you say something auspicious?" ā€

Su Wenge smiled, "Today I will play with the big knife in front of Emperor Guan, and Zhang Zhongjing will write the prescription in front of him, of course, there is one flavor in the back, a total of four flavors," his face sank suddenly, "Go quickly!" ā€

Saihu also screamed as if demonstrating, so frightened that the butler's legs trembled, and immediately retreated quietly.

"Second brother, when did you learn to prescribe medicine? Then I'm going to take the exam tomorrow! Dorona picked up the tea on the table and drank it down, eating too salty tonight, and feeling thirsty.

"The second brother knows a lot of things, you learn more." Su Wen said with a smile, touching the teacup, but there was not a drop of tea in the cup, Duolonga hurriedly came over and poured tea for him with a smile, "Second brother, what do you want to do with this prescription?" ā€

"We arrived here in Chinese New Year's Eve, do you think we are here to pay New Year's greetings?" Su Wen smiled disdainfully, "Of course it's for silver!" ā€

Duolong'a and Hu Jinbao's pupils suddenly emitted light, "How much can you change?" ā€

"Ten thousand taels!" Su Wen said solemnly.

Duolonga and Hu Jinbao looked at each other, and suddenly, the two of them let out a burst of laughter at the same time, causing the little servants waiting next to them to hide their mouths and snicker.

"Laughing at what?" Su Wen said dissatisfied, "Second brother, when did I tell a lie?" ā€

"That's it, that's it, second brother, when did you still tell the truth?" Duolonga turned his back and muttered in a low voice, Hu Jinbao snickered silently.

"Okay, you guys watch, I'll let you buy all the snacks in the alley later, and let those traders go home for the New Year early!" Su Wen is a serious way. In his previous life, when he got off work in the evening, he saw that the small merchant and vendor had not finished selling anything, and if there was little, he would give others a round, and if there was more, he would buy more and let them go home earlier.

"Okay, this year's Chinese New Year, my mother bought a few pieces of trough wedge, and I will eat it first with my sister!" Hu Jinbao swallowed his saliva and said longingly.

"I'm going to wrap all the mixed mixes at the mouth of the alley for him," said Duolong's family, who was in a better situation, "and threw away all the coarse mixes, and I like candied cherries the most......

However, before they could finish their vision, the butler walked in angrily, and the smile on his face froze, "The third master should go back, our master said four words - I don't know how to do it!" He snapped and slapped the prescription on the table.

Duolong'a and Hu Jinbao's eyes widened involuntarily, and the fanatical gaze just now suddenly cooled down.

"Is it because your master doesn't know the goods?" Dorona whispered.

"That's it, that's it." Hu Jinbao hurriedly echoed.

Su Wen smiled, picked up the brush, and filled in three words on the right side of the paper - "Avoiding Plague Pill".

"You go again, if your master doesn't come, we will leave immediately, and from now on, we will not go to the door of your Yue's house again!"

If you don't come to the door again, it's a good thing, run more and run more, and save a lot of trouble in the future! However, is there a standard for this kind of person to speak? The housekeeper thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "I'll fight to let the master scold, and I'll believe you again." ā€

Seeing the housekeeper gritting his teeth and going, Duolonga was worried, "Second brother, let's go quickly, we didn't bring our brothers today, don't let people beat us out with a big stick, this big New Year, spread out, don't laugh off your big teeth!" ā€

Su Wen waved his hand, "Don't be impatient." He picked up his cup, plucked the floating tea, and took a sip.

Just when the three of them were fighting a lawsuit, after a while, an old man with white hair and a dozen old people, middle-aged people and young people hurried over.

"Master Yue, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting in advance! I wish you a prosperous business and prosperity in the coming year! Su Wen took the initiative to stand up and slammed it to the end.

The old man was a little surprised, but his surprise swept by, "Sit," he was full of energy, and his demeanor was graceful, "Butler, serve tea." ā€

The housekeeper hurriedly ran over, "Slow, bring me the Pu'er I brought back from Yunnan!" With the water of Yuquan Mountain! Master Yue commanded again, and although he spoke to the housekeeper, his eyes kept wandering over Su Wen's face.

Duolonga and Hu Jinbao wanted to look at each other, but they both stuck out their tongues, but they stood straighter behind Su Wen.

Su Wen raised his hand and clenched his fists, "Please teach Master Yue." ā€

Master Yue waved his hand, "This sentence should be me," he groaned slightly, "Xionghuang can detoxify, kill insects and dispel filth, and the ghost arrow feather is also known as the wolf bone, which has the ability to break the blood and pass through the meridians......" He cut directly to the point, staring at Su Wen as he spoke.

"Salvia can invigorate the blood, of course, there is the last taste, the combination of the four medicines, the power of detoxification is tantamount to a hundred times, a thousand times." Su Wen said proudly.

"Second Master Su has studied medicine?" Master Yue's eyes were blazing.

"I know a little bit." Su Wen took a sip of tea, neither humble nor arrogant, of course, the director of the Chinese medicine hospital in later generations did not dare to make an axe with the front class of everyone who made a living from traditional Chinese medicine, but some of the recipes for solving the mystery in later generations were unknown to the predecessors.

"This plague pill? ā€¦ā€¦ā€

"In the spring, the plague was epidemic and spread rapidly, and countless people died of the plague every year." Su Wen looked at Master Yue, and considered the words, "The usual prescription is complex and slow-acting, this prescription only has four flavor medicines, and the effect is immediate after taking it, I have no ability to carry forward this prescription, I can only transfer it to Master Yue, Master Yue is a benevolent gentleman, upright, if this medicine can be cured in the coming year, one will be beneficial to the shop, the other will be beneficial to the people, and Master Yue himself will also increase a lot of merits and blessings!" ā€

"I'm talking about prescriptions? This recipe was figured out by Second Master Su himself? Master Yue took the teapot in the butler's hand and filled Su Wen with water.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, no matter if they're white or black, they're good cats if they catch mice." Su Wen was sloppy, but subconsciously moved out the words of the great man.

Master Yue looked at him, he didn't say anything for a long time, and everyone here didn't speak, the atmosphere in the hall was very dull for a while, and suddenly, Master Yue said, "Then dare to ask what this fourth flavor medicine is?" ā€
