Chapter 49: Surname Wen
After the summer harvest, the villagers were busy selling grain.
The carts that carried the burden filled the whole town.
A black-shed carriage came from the official road, followed by two squires with knives on horses.
The villagers rarely see horses of this quality, so they can't help but stop and watch.
I saw the carriage driving all the way to the Rongji Pharmacy.
The carriage stopped in front of the Rongji Pharmacy, and the attendant dismounted and helped out a gray-haired old man from the carriage.
Then another young man of seventeen or eighteen got out of the carriage.
"Oops! Brother, why are you here in person? ”
Li Langzhong hurriedly ran out of the shop, almost tripped halfway, and when he saw the comer, his hands trembled with excitement.
The old man arched his hand at him and said with a smile: "Is it okay to believe in it?" ”
Li Langzhong's eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward to salute, "Brother is grateful for my brother's concern, senior brother, please come into the house with your brother and sit." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, and pulled the young man beside him, "This is my eldest grandson Hengchuan; Hengchuan, this is my fifth junior brother, come and pay tribute. ”
Hengchuan stepped forward and saluted: "The public security of the Fifth Division is good." ”
Li Langzhong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you guys are tired of traveling, hurry up and follow me into the house to talk." ”
A few people walked into the pharmacy and walked to the back hall.
Li Langzhong asked his two grandsons to boil water to make tea, and ordered the servants to arrange for the senior brother's carriage and attendants to rest in the courtyard.
The three of them sat down and began to talk.
"Believe, is the man who was healed in your letter now?" The old man asked.
"Good! Very good! Li Langzhong said: "I saw him a while ago that he had a ruddy complexion and a strong body. ”
The old man picked up the tea and blew it, and then asked, "Can the old man meet this person?" ”
Li Langzhong touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can see it, but he lives in a village five or six miles away from here, and he rashly went to call people, for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion." And it's the farming season..."
The old man waved his hand, "It's not that I called him to see him, the old man wants to visit him in person." ”
"That's doable." Li Langzhong said with a smile: "The Jiang family is kind and easy-going, if you go, his family will definitely sweep the couch to greet you." ”
The old man smiled, put down the tea bowl and said, "Xinzhi, can you let the old man see the pulse case you recorded?" ”
"Of course, of course." Li Langzhong got up and went to look for the pulse.
When they practice medicine, they will record the incurable diseases they encounter, and those like Jiang Erlang, who were miraculously cured, are recorded word for word.
Li Langzhong took a large booklet and handed it to Senior Brother Wen Jingyan, "Senior Brother, please take a look." ”
Wen Jingyan took the booklet and opened it carefully.
The booklet not only recorded Jiang Erlang's pulse a few years ago, but also recorded every pulse probe last year, including his daily diet and pulse after he recovered from his illness.
"It's strange."
Wen Jingyan picked up a few strands of hair caught in the pulse case and asked, "What is this?" ”
Li Langzhong pointed to the clear liquid that had dried up in his hair and said: "His brother was hit on the head last time, and when he came here for treatment, the wound was almost healed, as if he had applied some kind of medicine in advance. ”
As he spoke, he touched his nose ashamedly: "The foolish brother was curious, so he left his hair without authorization." ”
Wen Jingyan twisted the transparent substance stained on his hair, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and nodded: "There is a slight fragrance, I can't see what it is." ”
The young man beside him said, "Grandfather, it's better to melt it into the water and give it to the small animals." ”
Wen Jingyan nodded: "It's feasible." ”
So Li Langzhong asked the servant to catch a cat, cut off a little hair, and cut a small wound with a knife.
Soak the strands of hair in a little cold water, and the dry transparent substance will melt away.
Wen Jingyan took matters into his own hands, dipped it in water with a clean cotton cloth, and applied it to the kitten's wound.
After half a pillar of incense, the wound healed and scabbed.
All three were shocked.
"What kind of drug is this? The effect is so magical. ”
Wen Jingyan's face was cautious, and he turned his head to the two of them: "This matter is not trivial, you and I should be careful with our tongues, otherwise we will harm others and ourselves." ”
Li Langzhong and Wen Hengchuan immediately swore: "This matter will never be announced to others, otherwise people and gods will be punished." ”
Wen Jingyan nodded, stroked his beard and said: "My Wen family has practiced medicine for generations, and I should lead by example, and I can't do anything that hurts people's lives, believe it, you are also half a child of my Wen family, and this matter will rot in your womb." ”
Li Langzhong stood up and arched his hand, "Senior brother, rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, my brother will never climb to the Jiang family." ”
"That's good."
Wen Jingyan sighed: "I came here this time just to save that child, and I have nothing else to covet, because it is a matter of life and death for my Wen family, I have to act cautiously." I hope you will be considerate. ”
"Senior brother, don't say this, my brother's net worth and life are all given by the master, but I just want to ask you for a medicine.
Besides, we are just asking for medicine, and we have no intention of robbing us, we only need to give a generous reward and promise his family to be safe and smooth, presumably the Jiang family is also willing. ”
"Well, I hope so." Wen Jingyan sighed lightly, "Don't be in a hurry in this matter, let's go and see it first, and then make plans."
After all, the family has been hiding it all along, and it doesn't seem to want others to know. If they rush to ask for medicine, they will definitely resist. ”
This matter needs to be thought out slowly.
"Okay, my brother will take my brother to Chen Village tomorrow." Li Lang said.
"Hmm."
On the second day, Sakura was leading the deer to take his younger brothers for a walk.
I saw a carriage coming from the village and slowly stopping at the door of the uncle's house.
Three people got down from the carriage, two old and one young, and Li Langzhong was among them.
The villagers were curious and gathered around to see the excitement.
The three of them stood at the gate of the courtyard, and Li Langzhong asked loudly, "Brother Jiang is at home?" ”
When Jiang Laohan heard the voice, he saw that it was Li Langzhong, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "The original Brother Li, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Li Langzhong said with a smile: "My Senior Brother Wen occasionally passes by here, and when he sees the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he wants to come and see the scenery. ”
"That's a good feeling." Jiang Laohan smiled and arched his hand to Wen Jingyan: "Mr. Wen, please come in and sit down." ”
Wen Jingyan hurriedly returned the salute: "I've disturbed Brother Jiang." ”
"Where, where." Jiang Laohan smiled and let people go home.
Wen Hengchuan also came over to salute: "Junior, Wen Hengchuan, meet Mr. Jiang." ”
Jiang Laohan blinked, and for the first time he heard someone call him sir, he felt that he was instantly tall and mighty. "Hehe, this little brother is..."
Wen Jingyan said with a smile: "He is my eldest grandson, his name is Hengchuan, and Brother Jiang just calls him Hengchuan." ”
"Huh? Haha, okay, that little brother Hengchuan, come in quickly. ”
Jiang Laohan let the three of them into the courtyard, because the house was a little dark, so he set up a few benches under the persimmon tree, moved a small dining table, and invited someone to sit down at the table.
Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly went to make tea.
But there is no tea at home, and it is not good for people to drink boiled water, so I boiled a pot of water with fresh bamboo leaves.
Sakura also came to see Strange, and when she heard them claim that their surname was Wen, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Surname Wen? Is it Sister Wen's Wen?
She hurriedly sent her brother home, and she came to eavesdrop on their conversation.
