Chapter 300: The Unique Book of Materia Medica
Gu Cheng attached great importance to this visit.
In order to leave a good impression on Su Qi's family, he specially changed into a new set of custom-made suits.
"Wife, are you sure I can do this? Is there anything wrong with it? ”
"Is my hairstyle formal enough?"
"If we haven't visited us for so long, will they think I'm insincere?"
……
Su Qi thought it was a little funny.
Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng, who has always been steady, walked the international red carpet without changing his face, and he was actually nervous because of meeting his parents.
She had to be appeased over and over again.
"It's okay, you're fine, they'll like your ......"
But even so, it still didn't eliminate Gu Cheng's nervousness.
After all, the people he wanted to see this time were all Su Qi's closest relatives, how could Gu Cheng not be nervous?
As the destination got closer and closer, Gu Cheng's back became more and more straight.
Su Qi sighed helplessly.
"Gu Cheng, you really don't have to be nervous!"
"Although my grandfather has a serious temperament, he is not old-fashioned, and he is very reasonable."
Gu Cheng blurted out: "No matter how reasonable a person is, he will be picky in every way in the face of those who want to arch their own cabbage." ”
Su Qi laughed with a "poof".
"Who compares himself to a pig?"
Gu Cheng's eyes were cold, "You little conscienceless, you can still laugh?" ”
"Aren't you worried at all?"
"I'm not worried at all!"
Su Qi winked at him, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
"My grandfather, they actually wanted to see you for a long time, and every time they called, they urged me to take you home."
"And they hurt me the most when they were small, for my sake, I won't embarrass you too much."
"When you eat later, you accompany my grandfather and uncle to have a few more drinks, and everything will be easy to say."
Gu Cheng nodded, "I hope so!" ”
Speaking kung fu, Su Zhai also arrived.
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually become popular, and Su Qingsheng's pharmacy has also made some money.
The house is two villas next to each other, with a garden in the middle and an open-air car park, which is spacious and stylish.
The two got out of the car and took out all the gifts in the back box.
Su Qi handed over some of the gifts to Liu Hongguang.
"Mom and Dad, you take Lao Liu and An Ran in first, and we'll go up later!"
Su Mu bowed, "Then you two hurry up!" Go safely, grandma will take you in first! ”
After they entered, Su Qi turned around and grabbed Gu Cheng's hand.
"Still nervous?"
"It's all right!"
Her palms were warm, like a burning flame, which instantly calmed Gu Chengcheng and returned to her former gentle and calm image.
When Su Qi generously led Gu Cheng and entered the living room with a large bag of greeting gifts.
All eyes fell on them.
There was a moment of silence in the living room.
Su Yao's reaction was the fastest.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Su Qi nodded and began to greet one by one: "Grandpa, uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, I'm back!" ”
"This is my boyfriend Gu Cheng!"
Don't look at Su Yunshan, who is over eighty years old, but his waist is straight, his eyes are bright, and his spirit looks very good.
Gu Chengcheng stepped forward and bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Hello grandpa, uncle, aunt, eldest brother, sister-in-law, my name is Gu Cheng!"
I have to say that although Gu Cheng is not wealthy.
But in the fast cultivation of temperament, he is really stubborn!
Place the neat stack of greeting gifts on the coffee table.
"The first time I came to the door, I didn't have anything to honor you, so I bought some greeting gifts at random, I hope you can like it!"
Bought a welcome gift?
Everyone looked at the greeting gifts piled up on the table, and they couldn't see any "casual" at all!
Not to mention the price of the meeting gifts on the table, the most important thing is that the gifts are very carefully selected, all of which are selected according to everyone's preferences.
Aunt Su smiled happily and was very affectionate towards Gu Cheng.
"Xiao Gu, you said you would come, and you still bought so many things, what a cost!"
Gu Cheng smiled modestly and politely.
"Auntie, this is all right, in fact, I have long wanted to visit you!"
"But I'm worried that I'm going to surprise you, and I've been busy with work lately, so I've been delayed until now."
"It's okay, you're busy releasing an album, we can understand that!"
Su Wei likes Gu Cheng very much, and he can be regarded as his fan.
"My sister is not only assertive when she is young, but I didn't expect her vision of choosing a boyfriend to be so good."
"Gu Cheng, I heard that you were nominated for a Grammy a few days ago, you are really young!"
Su Qingsheng was speechless: "Grammy? ”
Although he has been immersed in the study of Chinese medicine for many years.
But because of Su Qi's relationship, he occasionally pays attention to things in the entertainment industry.
So he knew that Gu Cheng was a big star in China, and he had a good popularity all over the world.
But Su Qingsheng didn't expect Gu Cheng to get a Grammy nomination!
This is the world's top music award!
China has never seen glory for this!
"Gu Cheng, did you really get a Grammy nomination?"
Gu Cheng nodded modestly, "I only got it two days ago, but at present, it is only a nomination, and it is not certain whether I can win the award." ”
Su Wei patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder.
"There will definitely be awards for so many nominations, brother has confidence in you!"
"Then borrow the words of the eldest brother!"
Su Yunshan secretly looked at Gu Cheng.
Although Gu Cheng has a big position in the entertainment industry, Su Yunshan will not look down on him because of this.
Compared with the external conditions of family background, appearance and education, Su Yunshan pays more attention to character and three views.
Obviously, Gu Cheng's first impression on him was not bad.
"Yaoyao, you go to Grandpa's study to get some West Lake Longjing, and make a pot of hot tea!"
"I'll go!"
Su Qi was overjoyed when he heard this.
The West Lake Longjing in the study is grandpa's favorite, and only distinguished guests will come to the door to take it out for hospitality.
Obviously, Gu Cheng has passed the first level.
And his next move captured the hearts of everyone in the Su family.
Gu Cheng took out a square lacquered wooden box from the greeting gift.
"Grandpa, I heard Qiqi say that you have hobbies such as collecting ancient books and rare books."
"I specially asked someone to buy an ancient book of Chinese medicine and materia medica a while ago, do you like it or not!"
As soon as Gu Cheng said this, he said.
Everyone in the Su family collectively looked sideways.
Especially Suyun Mountain.
He has been involved in Chinese medicine all his life and is particularly fond of collecting rare books.
Therefore, Gu Cheng's meeting gift was really sent to Su Yunshan's heart.
Su Yunshan raised his hand and held his glasses, and he came up with interest.
"Ancient books of materia medica?"
"Yes, the island country held an auction a while ago, and I auctioned a collection of herbal books."
Gu Cheng took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then opened the mahogany box, revealing a white pine box that was some years old.
Everyone in the Su family gathered at the same time, carefully surveyed the white pine wood for a while, and found that there were words engraved on the wooden box.
Su Qingsheng frowned: "Analogous Atlas Collection Annotation Derivative Materia Medica?" Why am I not impressed? ”
"Chonglan Pavilion? Isn't this the collection of the Imperial Physician of the Island Country? ”
"Judging from the outer packaging alone, this collection is by no means an ordinary person's collection."
And Gu Cheng's next words also confirmed everyone's dishes, which made the Zhu family's father and son shocked at the same time!
"According to the information I consulted, this herbal ancient book is very likely to be the only one in the Yuan Dynasty!"
"But I don't know much about this aspect, grandpa, you are well-informed, why don't you identify the authenticity of this "Annotation of the Illustrated Scriptures and Derived Materia Medica" together!"
Su Yao looked curious when she heard this.
"Brother-in-law, since it's a treasure, how much did it cost you to photograph it?"
Gu Cheng was stunned, and finally said softly: "A few million or so!" ”
Everyone was stunned: "......"
Su Yao exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive?!" ”
"If it's really a unique product as Xiao Gu said, then this price is normal!"
Su Yunshan explained: "Rare books, especially traditional medicine, are hard to come by. ”
"There are some traditional ancient recipes, and even more so that money can't buy them."
In ancient times, due to various conditions, the use of many drugs could not be carried out in advance animal experiments, and most of them were obtained by ancestors and ancestors in various practices.
Therefore, the knowledge of Chinese medicine recorded in these herbal books has extremely high application value.
The earliest existing monograph on Materia Medica in China is the Shennong Materia Medica, which was produced during the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was continuously revised during the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the "New Revision of Materia Medica" appeared.
This is also the first time that the state has begun to organize the compilation of pharmaceutical works.
As far as Materia Medica is concerned, we are most familiar with the "Compendium of Materia Medica" compiled by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, which reached the pinnacle of ancient Materia Medica.
Since knowing that Su Qi was born in a medical family.
Gu Cheng began to actively collect various Chinese medicine collections.
As a result, he really found this book of "Annotations on the Collection of Illustrated Scriptures and Derived Materia Medica" at the auction in the island country.
Gu Cheng cautiously opened the pine box and took out the ancient medicine books that had been carefully sealed inside.
The moment the "Class Illustrated Scripture Collection Notes on the Derivative Materia Medica" appeared, it made everyone's eyes shine!
