Chapter 26 Xinglin Hall met for the first time
Since the salt of the Blind Mountain Salt Field, Anxian Post Road has become the most busy post road in the whole Dahua, the official darts, the people's darts, and the merchants go from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, from the sunrise to the sunset...
In less than two years, Jinzhou has become the second largest merchant gathering place in Dahua after the capital, and the number of new teahouses, wine shops, and inns in the city has more than doubled compared with before, and there are thousands more traveling merchants. This has never happened in Jinzhou in the past hundreds of years.
The danger of salt shortage spreads throughout the territory. In order to maintain stability, the imperial court has long claimed that the salt storage of the Blind Mountain Salt Field is huge, which is enough to meet the needs of Dahua for a hundred years.
It means that in the next 100 years, Jinzhou will be the world's largest salt producer, and it will be a cornucopia for merchants and traders.
"Begonia, what else do you want to buy?" Mei Yuanchen asked with a smile as she followed her.
"I remember there is an Xinglin Hall on Lanting Street, let's go and have a look. Haitang held Mei Yuanchen's arm with one hand and pointed to the south with the other.
In the past few months in the capital, Yun Po went out of the house to purchase daily needs, and usually asked Bai Ze and Xiao Xue's two daughters-in-law to go to help. Haitang is bored in the house, and will follow out from time to time, and vaguely remember seeing a pharmacy called Xinglintang on Lanting Street.
Mei Siyuan fought with the Shatuo army outside Jinzhou City, and his waist, back, arms, and legs were all injured. Haitang listened to what Bailisi said twice, kept it in her heart, and was about to find a time to go out of the house to buy medicine, but she didn't expect that after lunch, Mei Yuanchen found her and had to take her out to go shopping, just enough to do it.
The two turned around a forked intersection, and sure enough, they saw a large shop, which came with a strong smell of medicine, and looked at the plaque, which was "Xinglintang".
"I'm not mistaken, this is it. Finding this pharmacy, Begonia smiled happily, smiling like a pear blossom in February.
After finishing speaking, he left Mei Yuanchen and walked a few steps to the palm hall.
"Shopkeeper, I want to grab a few pairs of good medicine for the knife. Begonia asked the old man with a goatee in the hall.
The white-bearded old man lowered his chin slightly, and asked, "Little girl, what kind of injury is it, and how old is the injured person?"
"My lord was stabbed and shot three months ago, and now the wound is healed, but he still hurts from time to time, so please grab me a few pairs of the best medicine. But if you can eradicate the disease, it doesn't matter if you spend more money. Begonia replied.
"Where are the wounds?" asked the old man with the goatee.
"I was shot twice in the leg, I was stabbed in the left arm, I had five stab wounds in the back, and the most serious gunshot wound to the abdomen. Mei Yuanchen replied for her. When he said this, there were no tears in his eyes.
After hearing this, the old man with the goatee described his face a little ugly, rubbed his chin with his right hand, shook his head in a deep voice, and said, "You... Gee...... It stands to reason that it is not easy to get better for three months after suffering such a serious injury. ”
Mei Yuanchen's face tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, how can it be difficult?"
In the past two years, he has learned a lot of martial arts, and he has also learned some healing methods, but when it comes to medical science, he knows very little, although he has always remembered his father's injury, he also does not know how to start.
"Hmm... This is called breaking the body and hurting the element, that is, the vitality is damaged. Well...... The vitality is where the essence of the person is, and if the luck is damaged, if the qi is not nourished and the yuan is not consolidated in time, it will fall into the root of the disease that will not heal. The old shopkeeper replied in a deep voice.
"How to nourish qi, and how to consolidate the yuan?" Mei Yuanchen asked anxiously.
At this moment, a masked woman in plain clothes came from the back hall and asked softly, "Dare to ask the patient, but he was injured in the battle in Suzhou?"
"Hall Master!" the white-bearded old shopkeeper bowed slightly to greet the masked woman. The woman only nodded slightly, in return.
Mei Yuanchen was quite surprised, and forgot to reply for a while.
"This son, may I ask if the patient was wounded in the war in Suzhou?" the plain woman asked again.
"Yes! Yes! My father was wounded by the enemy in the battle with the Shatuo army in Suzhou more than three months ago. Mei Yuanchen came back to his senses and hurriedly replied.
Haitang looked at him, and then looked at the masked woman, her face was a little unhappy, and her nose was already slightly wrinkled.
The plain-clothed woman nodded, muttered for a long time, and said, "Ling Zun's injury is indeed a broken body injury. However, just by taking medicine to recuperate, I am afraid that it is not easy to get better, if you can use the golden needle to guide the qi as a supplement, you can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Mei Yuanchen's body was shocked, and he said happily: "If you want to come to the girl, you are good at this?"
"That's natural, our hall master's golden needle technique is not the first in the world, at least it is also the top three in the world. The white-bearded old shopkeeper proudly said that Mei Yuanchen and Begonia said, which had a hint of "and honor".
"Huh?" Mei Yuanchen was startled, fell to his knees on the ground, and said to the masked woman: "I beg the girl to come with me and heal my father's injuries with acupuncture!"
It is said that "there is gold under a man's knees", however, kneeling for his father, Mei Yuanchen did not feel that his face could not be hung up.
Although the woman was masked, her figure was clearly at her prime. Originally, Haitang saw Mei Yuanchen looking at her, and her heart was a little jealous, but now I heard the old man say that she was actually one of the best golden needle masters in the world, where did she dare to have the slightest idea? Seeing Mei Yuanchen kneeling on the ground, she was about to kneel down.
"Girls don't have to be polite. The masked woman dragged her in time, and then Mei Yuanchen, who was kneeling on the side, said, "Childe, please get up." Medical skills are originally used to help the world and save people, if I can help Ling Zun, I naturally dare not quit. ”
"Okay! good!" Mei Yuanchen stood up, bowed deeply again, and said to the woman in a clear voice, "Dare to ask the girl if she is cheap at the moment, can you deign to run with me?"
Seeing that he looked sincere, the woman bowed her head lightly, and then said to the old man with a goatee: "Shopkeeper Liu, go and get my medical box." ”
"Yes, hall master!" the old shopkeeper respectfully took the order, and went to the back hall to fetch a box and sent it to her.
Mei Yuanchen was very curious when he saw that the old shopkeeper respected the masked woman so much. I also thought that if I have a request from others, it is better to ask less about other people's affairs, so as not to cause extraneous branches. Yes, I didn't say much. Seeing that the woman seemed to have everything she needed, she hurriedly took the begonias from the counter and led the way.
Lanting Street is not far from the Yanyun Governor's Mansion, about three or four miles, and it took less than half an hour to finally arrive.
"I'm really sorry that the tired girl has traveled so far!" Mei Yuanchen stood still in front of the mansion and bowed to the woman.
"Is your father a member of the Salt Administration's Mansion?" Mei Yuanchen stopped here, the woman was stunned, and after listening to Mei Yuanchen's words, her face was even more different.
Mei Yuanchen replied in a clear voice: "My father is the chief official of the house. ”
