Chapter 21: Things in the Imperial City 3
Yuqing scolded the scheming senior brother back with a word, and wiped the face of the patient who passed out without distraction and sorted out his clothes. watched everyone talk in confusion.
"Will this girl heal people, is this to wash the patient's face or to be happy."
"The life of the old imperial doctor, alas, an apprentice fell into a well, and an apprentice didn't know the depths, and the old imperial doctor was afraid that something would happen."
"The one inside is really stingy, it's been more than 20 years, this is a change of way to rectify people."
"The old imperial doctor is too upright, it's better to be an ordinary person."
"Hey, look, that man seems to be sober." Someone screamed, and everyone's eyes looked at the patient and Yuqing, who had stopped.
The comatose patient really opened his eyes, looked at the little girl squatting in front of him in confusion, and involuntarily asked: "Why did I fall on the street, girl, who are you?" ”
"Uncle, why don't you remember when you fall here?"
"I don't remember, but I remember that I drank the medicine I grabbed from this pharmacy in the morning, and I got a lot better, and I thought about lying down and resting for a day. When I opened my eyes, I saw the girl, what's wrong with me? ”
"Master, you are sick and confused, you just ate the medicinal soup of herbs you grabbed from this pharmacy, and you are sick again, what old imperial doctor is a liar with no ability." At that moment, a woman squeezed into the crowd and cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Wife, no, I'd better go back to the house and lie down by myself. Before lying down, I drank a few sips of the tea you poured for me, where did you buy that tea, it was really delicious. The patient tried to stand up, but his legs went limp and he fell down again, and he clutched his head and screamed.
"It hurts, why do I have a big bag on my head?"
"Dad, it was my mother who beat you, and then I carried you over with Uncle Wang next door. My brother secretly drank the tea that my mother gave you, and now I still have diarrhea. At this time, a little girl of five or six years old ran over and cried.
"Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about, go home and look at my brother." The woman scolded the child, and the little girl began to cry with a sigh of wah. The people who watched the excitement almost understood that this was to slander people.
"You dead mother-in-law, you are murdering your own husband. If my son has anything long and short, I will divorce you. ”
"Oh, isn't this a slander, and it hurt your own son." An old woman said disdainfully.
"It's your business! The head of the house, who murdered you, you just saw that I became a yellow-faced woman and wanted to divorce me by heading, and now the little widow wants to find another one. The little shopkeeper said that it was a medicine that made people sleep...", the woman looked at the senior brother with a red head and a white face.
"You haven't understood yet, this is a hookup and dislike someone in the way." The old woman said again.
"Stinky girl, that's an auxiliary pill to enhance the curative effect, master, little junior sister, don't listen to her, master, you also have such a doctor's order on every prescription. These people are slanderous and turn to divide us. The senior brother hurriedly distinguished.
"What kind of pills, what you gave me is a medicine face." The woman cried out.
"Shut up! Have you made enough trouble, this is my master's pharmacy, not your backyard. Uncle, Miss Ben has just diagnosed your pulse, you were a symptom of dampness and cold before, and the medicine on my master's prescription has been very effective. You are unconscious, one is caused by external forces, and the other is that you have been poisoned, just now Miss Ben did not wipe your face and tidy up your clothes, but by stimulating the acupoints to wake you up. Miss Ben doesn't care about your messy accounts, my master is the holy hand of the imperial doctor, and Miss Ben can't let someone ruin the master's reputation and smash the master's signboard as a human apprentice. ”
"Well said! Apprentice, is his poison serious? ”
"Master, it's very serious, if you don't wake him up in time, he is likely to fall asleep for a long time and die in his sleep."
"Old Imperial Doctor, your eyes are not good, everyone can see that he has more breath and less breath in just now. Hey, what's going on? ”
"Miss Langzhong, help me. My son is not yet 10 years old, and I still have an elderly father. ”
"Uncle, of course Miss Ben will save you. It's not to see how miserable your life is, but to justify my master's name and master's pharmacy. Uncles and uncles, life is not easy in anyone's family, people can be greedy but not bad conscience. Uncle, the big bag on the back of your head went home to rest for two days, and the swelling slowly subsided. Now that Miss Ben has given you acupuncture and detoxification to remove toxins from your body, you can walk home. Yuqing said and took out the needle bag in his arms, looked for the acupuncture point through his clothes, and immediately pricked the patient's chest with five or six stitches. The luster of the silver needles sparkles in the midday sun.
"Which kind man helped Miss Ben to help Uncle up and sit." After piercing his chest, Yuqing looked at the people watching the excitement and asked.
"I came to help Xiao Langzhong, and I often came to this pharmacy to grab medicine and treat diseases. Originally, I thought that the little shopkeeper's medical skills were excellent, but today I learned that they were all prescriptions left by the old imperial doctor. An old woman stepped forward and helped lift the patient.
Yuqing also pricked the back of the patient's heart a few times, and then pricked one of the patient's fingers. Soon a few drops of black blood flowed out of the patient's fingertips and fell on the white silk handkerchief prepared by Yuqing, although there were only a few drops of black blood. The smell of the smell choked those who were close by.
"The poisonous blood is discharged, how does it smell like a pit." The old woman who helped Yuqing covered her mouth and nose and said.
"We smell it too, it's really vicious. In order to blackmail people, a few pieces of silver killed the husband and the son. The caring person in the crowd said something, Yuqing didn't look up, but remembered the voice.
As the poisonous blood flowed out of the patient's fingertips, Yuqing also collected the silver needles on the patient's chest and back. The patient stood up on his own, rubbed the back of his head with one hand, and walked towards his mother-in-law.
"Dad, don't beat your mother, my brother is still having diarrhea at home." The little girl cried and cried out that she was seeing that the woman had run first.
The people watching the excitement in front of the pharmacy were almost all dispersed. Only the old door panel was left, witnessing the farce that had just happened in front of the pharmacy.
"You come in and talk to me." Lao Langzhong seemed to be a few years older in an instant, and looked at the so-called senior brother and said.
"Master, I administer the medicine according to your doctor's instructions, and the efficacy of the pills is the same."
"Don't call me a master, you and I don't have the truth of a master and apprentice. You are just a medicine boy next to Ben Langzhong, and my doctor's order has written about the auxiliary medicine, which is also the auxiliary treatment after the patient sees the curative effect without changing the prescription. But listening to the old woman's words just now, you should have delivered medicine to your door, right? You are deliberately trying to harm me, the mountain villa and the imperial city are far away, so Ben Langzhong will hand over the pharmacy to you to take care of. I look at the layout of this pharmacy, have you already started to sit in the hall to diagnose people? Do you have what it takes? ”
"Old man, you're blaming me. Have you forgotten what happened back then, if it weren't for me, a little medicine boy, you wouldn't have been beaten out of the palace by someone. ”
"Shut up, you took part of the responsibility back then, but it wasn't for me, it was to cover up the scandal of your collusion with the palace maid. I didn't say it because you had been a medicine boy by my side for a few years. You followed me out of the palace, and I also saw that you could only pick up medicine and have no other skills. I paid for this pharmacy and left all my prescriptions to you. If you follow the rules, this pharmacy will also make you live well. I hardly come to the pharmacy to take accounts, and I will take as much money as you make every year. Am I not doing enough? Why are you framing me. ”
"Old man, when I followed you out of the palace, I also wanted to learn medical skills with you, not to die for you. You don't come here to settle accounts, not because you trust me so much, but because you're afraid that the one in the palace will find trouble with you. I send you silver every year, also for the sake of our affection. I take care of this pharmacy in the wind and rain, and I am the shopkeeper here. The senior brother bumped into Lao Langzhong sentence by sentence, and Yuqing couldn't listen to it anymore.
"That ungrateful thing, my master turned a blind eye to tolerate you for the silver that should have belonged to him. You don't know how to be grateful, and you conspire with outsiders to frame the master. Your conduct is not worthy of medical skills. ”
"Stinky girl, when I wanted to recognize him as a master, he excused himself and said that he would never accept any more apprentices in his life. In the villa, he accepted two apprentices, and I also admitted it with one eye closed, and every penny of money I earned from taking care of this pharmacy for him was my hard work. I didn't expect those two to die, and he recognized you as a closed disciple again. I also took you to Yanwai Castle, so what am I, the little medicine boy back then? ”
"Evil Barrier!" The old man's angry beard trembled and scolded.
"Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it for such an ungrateful person. At this point, Miss Ben heard a little taste. You are not because the master accepted me as a closed disciple, but because the master took me to Yanwai Castle. It turns out that the two apprentices accepted by the master, you can turn a blind eye, and you can't tolerate it when you get to Miss Ben, the root turned out to be Yanwai Castle. ”
"You're right, the new emperor doesn't want to see there. You're still there to show off your medical skills, and I haven't gotten the slightest benefit from this old man. Do you have to be burdened? To tell you the truth, who did you see when you went to Yanwai Castle, and what kind of disease did you see, many people are curious. ”
"Tell me plain, what are the many people?" Lao Langzhong finally heard the doorway and hurriedly asked.
"Master, who does he care? Our medical skills are the ability to make a living, and making money by treating people is the same as doing business. It's you, an ungrateful villain, who will harm others behind your back if you ignore your master's money. If you say that you are a villain, you are a scumbag. ”
"Who is scum, and what is scum? You old immortal and you stinky girl, you just wait for the catastrophe to come. I don't care about the broken medicine shop, who took our things and left. The senior brother was annoyed and angry, beckoned to the only medicine grabber in the pharmacy, picked up two large packages and left, and it could be seen that they had premeditated.
"Bastard, leave the old man's prescription." The old man shouted at the two people who walked out of the door.
"Master, forget it, let him go. Our medical skills can only save people, but they can't save lives. The people from Yanwai Castle came to the door, do we dare to say that we won't go? It's just that the golden needle crossed the acupoint to cure the broken leg of the old castle master, and I don't know the effect of curing it. It's like opening the door to do business, whose money can not be earned? Looking at the old man's puffing appearance, Yuqing hurriedly persuaded him.
"Apprentice, I'm really angry to be a teacher."
"Master, don't be angry, it doesn't matter if this medicine shop can't be opened, the apprentice will support you in the future. Even if the apprentice marries, he will also bring your old man, let's see what is left in the pharmacy, and now silver is the closest thing. Yuqing returned to the greedy appearance of burrowing into the eyes of money. The old man who watched it was a little stunned, but he figured it out in an instant, obviously someone outside was eavesdropping. So I followed Yuqing's words.
"What other good things, things without conscience. Child, don't rummage around, the most valuable ones are the master's prescriptions, which are the master's half-life efforts. Fortunately, he can't take away the house that opened the shop, so let's talk about what to do in the future. ”
"Master Yuqing, let's see that the people outside are gone, and the matter is settled. It was already past lunchtime, so we bought some bread and would have a bite to eat, and then it was time to go back. Zhen'er's voice came from far away into the pharmacy.
"Owner, when we came here just now, there were people eavesdropping on the roof and at the door." Ye Xuan and Zhen'er entered the pharmacy, and Ye Xuan said a little scared.
"Ahh Master, lock the door and let's go. Yuqing said as if surprised.
