Chapter 25: Wan Mi Zhai

About half an hour later, the ship finally came to shore.

Su Jiulin and Qiu Yinxue came to the man's residence on the bank of the river downstream, which was a house on the bank.

Along the way, the two also learned that the man's name was Wan Mizhai, the family had practiced medicine for generations, his mother had passed away, and his father had opened a "Jishitang" in Xuzhou. This time he came back with his father to worship his ancestors, and he will leave in a few days.

And the old man is indeed the man's father, named Wan Basket, who fled here 30 years ago due to a famine, and later married a wife. Only in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven did he get a son, that is, Wan Mi Zhai. Then there was a servant in this old mansion who took care of it, and when the baskets returned, they went back to the countryside. So this house is only the two of them living in these days.

When Su Jiulin met Wan Mizhai today, he was collecting medicine, and he didn't have time to carry the basket of fashion herbs when Su Jiulin pulled him away.

And Wan Mizhai's father and son also praised Su Jiulin again and again after knowing that he was righteous and brave.

Listening to Qiu Yinxue say that Su Jiulin was still injured in the process, Wan Basket took Su Jiulin's pulse, and found that his internal injuries were not healed, and it was already noon at this time, so he persuaded the two to rest at his house today and leave tomorrow. After Su Jiulin saw that Qiu Yinxue agreed, he also agreed.

After landing on the shore, Wan Mizhai went to cook, Su Jiulin also went to help, and after a while, a table of food was prepared, and Wan Basket had already changed his clothes, and the four of them had lunch. During the banquet, Wan Basket kept chattering about Su Jiulin's craftsmanship, and asked Wan Mizhai to learn hard.

After being full of wine and food, Su Jiulin and Qiu Yinxue were taken by Wan Mizhai to the backyard to visit his family's medicine field, and they seemed to have similar herbs, but they were told that there were more than sixty kinds of herbs. And I was told that if not some of them could not be planted together, there would be more.

At this time, Wan Basket also came and said: "The child is stubborn, and he only knows more than 100 kinds of herbs, so I asked him to pick herbs, and I want to exercise his ability to recognize herbs." ”

When Wan Mizhai heard his father talk about him in front of outsiders, he was immediately unhappy: "The effect of many herbs is the same, and the effects of many herbs are not recorded in medical books. The more than 60 kinds of herbs we grow can only cure more than 40 kinds of diseases according to medical books, but I can use them to cure more than 130 kinds of diseases. ”

"You're still quibbling! Read the book! As he spoke, Wan Basket took off a shoe and chased after Wan Mi Zhai. And Wan Mizhai seems to be often chased like this, and ran out of the yard without being hit.

"Let Su Gongzi and Miss Qiu laugh," Wan Basket put on his shoes as he walked back, "But seriously, what Zhai'er said is really right." ”

"Don't look at him as old as you, he doesn't look like a doctor, when it comes to healing, he's already more capable than me. And the recipe used is often different from mine. He can indeed cure more diseases with the same herbs, and has his own understanding of pharmacology. Wan Basket had already put on his shoes and walked in front of Su Jiulin, "Every time he goes out with me, I pretend that I can't treat many diseases and ask him to prescribe prescriptions." ”

"Every time he grabs some medicinal materials that have not been mentioned in the medical books, not to mention, he is really cured every time. Even when I really encountered an illness that I couldn't help with, I could be cured according to the prescription he prescribed. ”

"Brother Wan is so powerful!"

Su Jiulin also has a relationship with his ancestor Su Song to study pharmacology, and he is also very interested in practicing medicine and curing diseases, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to learn. Hearing Wan Basket say that Wan Mizhai is so capable at such a young age, he instantly admired him.

Qiu Yinxue was a little confused: "Then Master Wan, you still beat him?" ”

"You can't make him proud. After all, it is to govern people, and you can't joke with human life. ”

As he spoke, Wan Wan led Su Jiulin and the others to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard, and continued: "Although Zhai'er is very serious when he sees a doctor, he will not be as giggling as usual, but I still have to keep spurring him to remind him of the importance of human life. Because once people slack off, they are prone to accidents. ”

"I have practiced medicine for generations." Wan Basket looked in the direction of Wan Mizhai just now, "I hope that one day he can have the same achievements as Li Yanwen of Huangzhou Mansion, enter the Pavilion Tai Hospital, and glorify our ancestors." Actually, I also believe that Zhai'er has that ability. ”

"Too Hospital?" Qiu Yinxue hadn't heard of the Tai Hospital, "What kind of place is it?" ”

"The Tai Hospital is a place dedicated to the treatment of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the medical community is proud to be able to enter the Tai Hospital, and entering the Tai Hospital is like a student in the scientific examination." Without waiting for Wan Basket to speak, Su Jiulin answered Qiu Yinxue first.

"What Su Gongzi said is very true, I didn't expect Su Gongzi to also know something about the medical community." Wan Basket bowed to Su Jiulin.

Su Jiulin hurriedly bowed his head and bowed back: "It's just a superficial cognition." ”

"Master Wan, who is Li Yanwen? Is the doctor very skilled? Qiu Yinxue asked the Tai Hospital and then began to ask Li Yanwen, she had never heard of it.

"Of course. Li Yanwen is also a doctor in our Huangzhou Mansion, and his medical skills are very good. Take the old princess seriously ill two years ago, many famous doctors were helpless, at that time, Dr. Li had not yet entered the hospital, and after going to King Jing's mansion to seek medical treatment, Princess Jing became famous. ”

"Humph!" Suddenly, Wan Mizhai ran out of nowhere again, "I can also heal, Dr. Li's medical skills are not as good as mine!" ”

"Bastard! Don't go read a book yet! Wan Basket stood up while taking off his shoes, and then threw his shoes over, and Wan Mizhai dodged and ran again. Wan Basket then went to pick up shoes.

"Day by day, I know that I am angry with your father and me......"

"It made the two of you laugh again." Wan Basket picked up the shoes with a chatter, "But what Zhai'er said is right." I also went when the old princess was seriously ill, but I couldn't help it. Zhai'er said that she would pick more quinoa and make thick soup for the old princess to drink, and she would be cured in a few days. ”

"But the old princess is the old princess after all, and she is now the mother of King Jing, how dare I test the medicine for her." As he spoke, Wan Basket looked at Su Jiulin and the others again, "Unexpectedly, Dr. Li looked at the old princess for a few days, but in the end, he also used this recipe to cure the old princess who was over the age of old." Moreover, Dr. Li also praised Zhai'er in person, saying that Zhai'er's medical skills were already better than him. ”

"Wow!" After listening to this, Qiu Yinxue also began to admire Wan Mizhai.

"Don't learn from Dr. Li to praise him to his face, he won't know who he is when he praises him, and then he will be bad if he uses the recipe to kill people."

"Master Wan, I don't think Master Wan will prescribe medicine indiscriminately," Qiu Yinxue said slowly, "Moreover, didn't you also say that he was very serious when he diagnosed the disease?" ”

"No, it's still not good, anyway, you have to remember not to praise him to your face, the medical name of my family for several generations can't be ruined in his hands." Wan Basket shook his head like a rattle as he spoke, "Let's go too, let's go to the study, I'll go see if that kid is reading seriously." ”

After a while, the three of them came to the study of the Wan Mansion.

"Master Wan! You have so many medical books?! As soon as Su Jiulin entered the door, he saw three cabinets of medical books, and even the desk was full of books.

"Well, this kid, I thought he was quite smart and a scholar, so I let him participate in the scientific examination. He was good, and he failed the exam twice. Wan Basket said and gave Wan Mizhai a blank look.

Sure enough, Su Jiulin found that there were not only medical books in the study, but also "University" and "Shangshu".

"Alas, how boring it is to read, it's all words, and I doze off as soon as I read a book." Wan Mizhai said and lay on the table, "If only it could be like the "Book of Sketches", it would be so ......"

"The Book of Sketches? Where is it? Su Jiulin instantly became excited, "Which is the "Book of Sketches"?" ”

Wan Mizhai pointed to a book in front of the left on his desk, and Su Jiulin hurriedly walked over and flipped through it.

Wan family father and son, including Qiu Yinxue, couldn't understand why he was so excited.

Su Jiulin also realized that he seemed to be too excited, so he slowly told the three of them that Su Song, the author of the "Book of Sketches", was his ancestor.

"It turns out that you are a descendant of Su Song!"

Knowing that Su Jiulin was a descendant of Su Song, Wan Mizhai praised the "Book of Sketches" non-stop, saying that this book was well-researched and quite useful, which helped him a lot. Wan Basket is also ready to give him the "Book of Sketches", although it is not the original, but he also wants to leave it for Su Jiulin as a souvenir.

But Su Jiulin said that he didn't accept anything, only that he just wanted to see how the ancestor's book was.

At this time, there were suddenly two horse barks.

"Brother Wan, do you have a horse at home?"

"Yes."

It turned out that Wanjia had stables with three horses in it. And there are two wagons!

Su Jiulin was very excited, glanced at Qiu Yinxue, turned his head to look at Wan Basket, and asked with a little excitement: "Master Wan, can I buy your carriage to send Miss Qiu back to Fenghua?" It's okay to borrow, I'll pay it back. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yinxue turned her head to look at Su Jiulin and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

Wan Basket said that he and Wan Mizhai only used one carriage to go to Xuzhou, and the other one was usually empty, so Su Jiulin could use it casually. And because Wan Jia often sees a doctor in the nearby county and prefect, no one has ever come to check on his family's carriage.

Finally, a carriage sent Qiu Yinxue back, Su Jiulin was happy like a child, and Qiu Yinxue didn't seem to be very happy.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

It's already hai, but Qiu Yinxue hasn't slept yet, leaning against the window, looking at the stars in the sky, and I don't know what I'm thinking.

After looking at the night sky for a while, Qiu Yinxue opened the door again and came to the courtyard. Just took two steps, but saw Su Jiulin also open the door and come out.

"Miss Qiu, can't you sleep?" Su Jiulin slowly walked to Qiu Yinxue's side.

"I want to see the stars for a while, and see more in the yard." Qiu Yinxue didn't say if she couldn't sleep, and turned her head to look at Su Jiulin, "What about you?" ”

"Me too, however, the yard is not the best place to see the stars, I will take you to see the better place to see the stars." Su Jiulin pursed his lips and smiled, and as he spoke, he took Qiu Yinxue to the middle of the courtyard.

I saw that Su Jiulin first held his breath and concentrated, and then his knees bent slightly, and then he pulled Qiu Yinxue and jumped up on the roof.

Qiu Yinxue had just gone up to the roof, and she was still a little shaky, Su Jiulin pulled her slowly to the roof and sat down.

"Look, so many stars!" Su Jiulin looked at the night sky and pointed.

Qiu Yinxue looked at the night sky and did not speak.

Su Jiulin turned his head to look at Qiu Yinxue, and found that she didn't look very happy, and asked, "Miss Qiu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I don't know which star is Mom." Qiu Yinxue didn't turn her head to look at Su Jiulin, but looked at the night sky, as if she was looking for something.

Hearing this, Su Jiulin also turned his head to look at the night sky again, he knew that there were grandfathers, second masters, and uncles in the sky who were watching him.

"Usually I don't know, but now it must be the brightest one."

"Young Master Su," Qiu Yinxue turned her head to look at Su Jiulin, "Can you send me to Sanaba?" ”

"Huh?" Su Jiulin turned his head and looked at Qiu Yinxue suspiciously, "Aren't you going to Ningbo to find your brother?" ”

"Originally, Grandpa Wu was going to take me to Sanaba," Qiu Yinxue turned her head to look at the starry sky again, "When my mother is still here, she will take me there every year." There, I could feel that I was with my mother again. ”

"Later, Grandpa Wu died, and I didn't think you were a bad person, so I wanted you to take me back to my brother, and then let my brother take me there."

"Oh." Su Jiulin also looked at the night sky after answering, "Then why do you want me to take you there now?" ”

"I asked my mother just now, and my mother said that you can take me there too, and you will send me back to my brother." Qiu Yinxue kept staring at the brightest star in the night sky, "But I have to write a letter back to tell my brother first." ”

"Don't worry, I promised you to send you where you want to go, and tomorrow we will go to Sanaba first." Su Jiulin turned his head to look at Qiu Yinxue, and his heart couldn't help jumping, "If you believe it, just ask Brother Wan to send someone to send it tomorrow." ”

"In addition," Su Jiulin hesitated, "tell your mother again, she sees people very accurately." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yinxue also turned her head to look at Su Jiulin, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Smiling and smiling, Su Jiulin remembered the six "bandits" in the morning: "Actually waiting for us to go out outside the mountains and forests today, I must have been afraid that we would miss out if we came in rashly, so I guarded a few roads out of the mountains and forests and waited for us to go out." Miss Qiu doesn't know them, it shouldn't be a vendetta, so ......"

Thinking about it, Su Jiulin asked again if Qiu Yinxue's family had money.

"I guess I'm rich." Qiu Yinxue didn't understand why Su Jiulin asked, "Anyway, what I like, my father bought it for me right away." And I heard Uncle Qi say that my family is richer than most of the big officials. ”

"That's no wonder. Those bad guys," Su Jiulin said and pointed at Qiu Yinxue, "I must know that your father is rich, so I want to catch you and ask your father for money!" ”

"What then? Why don't we report to the police. ”

"It shouldn't be useless, today I said that King Jing was in the forest, they all followed up, they shouldn't be afraid of officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers can't beat them."

Both frowned, not knowing what to do.

"I can help you with your disguise!"

Suddenly, a voice from behind startled both of them, and Qiu Yinxue almost fell, but fortunately was stopped by Su Jiulin. Looking back, it was actually Wan Mi Zhai.

"Brother Wan, what are you hiding behind?!"

"What do you mean for me to hide in the back, I'll come first, you don't see if anyone is sitting here......"

Su Jiulin was slightly embarrassed, and then because Qiu Yinxue didn't know any martial arts at all, there was still a bit of danger on the roof, so the three of them jumped down and sat on both sides of the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

Wan Mizhai said that he would change the appearance of the two of them, and it was simple to send a letter, so that they could rest assured. Since they had to travel the next day, the three of them also went back to their rooms to rest after some thanks.
