Chapter 54: Reunion

Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info (Note 1)

Li Fengyun took a boat south along the Yangtze River and came to Yangzhou, it was already the early spring after the beginning of spring.

Yangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Huainan Province of the Southern Tang Dynasty (Note 2), since the first year of the Shengyuan Dynasty (Note 3), the ancestor Li Yu (Note 4) took advantage of the destruction of Shi Jingjiao in the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, took the original Wu Dynasty and replaced it, and established the national capital, and the country name was "Tang".

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he ceased to strike the war, recuperated and recuperated, Jiangnan (Note 5) was originally a prosperous place, less affected by the war, convenient transportation, and the main artery of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the reign of Liezu for more than six years, more and more prosperous, and also the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is beautiful, compared to the Central Plains, which suffered from drought and war, it is like a paradise, which is enviable.

Yangzhou was originally the capital of the Wu Dynasty, and during the 20 years, it was not too damaged when the Wu and Tang dynasties were replaced, and it was a scene of singing and dancing.

In the seventh year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, Liezu had died, and the new emperor Li Jing succeeded to the throne, and Wu Yue in the southeast had a dispute, and the war broke out again, but it mostly occurred in the border area, and it could not affect the prosperous place of Huaiyang for a while.

Wu Yunong was soft, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and Li Fengyun suddenly felt that his bones seemed to be a little softer.

found an inn to live in, Li Fengyun found a guy and asked about the whereabouts of the divine doctor Yu Buquan.

The guy looked at Li Fengyun and said, "Is the guest officer also coming to Yangzhou for Doctor Yu?"

When Li Fengyun heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Not bad! Why, are there many people looking for him?"

"Yes," the fellow replied, "that Dr. Yu came to Yangzhou about half a year ago and opened a medical clinic on Dongmen Street, which seems to be called Jishitang. In the past six months, there are indeed many people looking for him to see a doctor, and our inn alone has received more than a dozen, but they are all those outsiders, and Yangzhou locals generally do not look for him to see a doctor. ”

Li Fengyunqi said: "Why don't the locals in Yangzhou seek medical treatment from him? ”

The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know how this Doctor Yu is able to see a doctor, but the cost of treating patients in Jishitang is really high, and it is really not affordable for ordinary people, so the locals would rather seek a local doctor for treatment." ”

Li Fengyun said with a smile: "Yu Buquan has a strange personality and refuses to treat ordinary people, no wonder it is like this, isn't it just a little expensive, the so-called cheap and no good goods, only those who have the ability dare to do this." "When Kaifeng was opened, Li Fengyun sold almost all the miscellaneous pieces he picked up from the cave in Qingping Town, and with the coil that Mo Qingyan gave him, he now has more than 40 taels of gold in his pocket and 100 taels of silver (Note 6), of course he doesn't care about that little money.

Asked about the path to Jishitang, Li Fengyun hurried over.

In the prosperous area of Dongmen Street, you can see a shop decorated with gold and brilliance from afar, a large plaque is hung on the lintel, and there are three gilded characters on the book "Jishitang", and there is a door couplet of dragon flying and phoenix dancing in front of the door: "Start to become a generation of divine doctors Sai Bian Que;

"This is it!" Li Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step into Jishi Hall, when he suddenly heard a very familiar voice in the hall asking, "...... This person really hasn't been here?"

"I really haven't been here, if I did, I would have remembered, girl, what did I do to lie to you?"

"Little girl?" Li Fengyun shouted, rushing into the hall, a girl in the hall was shocked, and turned around, who is it not Du Ruyue?

Li Fengyun took two steps forward, grabbed Du Ruyue's hand, and asked, "Little girl, don't you stay in Wanhua Valley, what are you doing here?" I know, you must miss me, no one quarrels with you, you are uncomfortable!"

Du Ruyue's face was slightly red, she broke free of Li Fengyun's hand, and said angrily: "This girl can go here wherever she wants, can you control it?"

Li Fengyun scratched his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, I'm so excited!"

"It turns out that this boy is the person the girl is looking for, congratulations!" said the old sitting doctor on the side, "I wonder how the girl knows that this son will come to my Jishitang?"

Li Fengyun didn't dare to offend the old doctor, so he said to him: "I can't hide it, I have been poisoned, and after being instructed by others, I am afraid that in this world, only the divine doctor Yu is incomplete can be cured, so he will make a special trip from Kaifeng to Yangzhou, this little girl wants to find me, naturally she comes to Guibao shop to find me! Old master, are you a divine doctor?"

Du Ruyue laughed out loud and said, "It turns out that you can talk like this!"

The old doctor laughed twice and said: "I see, the old man is not a doctor of the gods, and the doctor of Yu does not easily treat people, if you want to see a doctor for him, please go over there first to get a number, and then the doctor sitting in the hall will take the pulse first, to see if you really need to take the action of the doctor in person." ”

Li Fengyun looked around and said strangely: "Old doctor, there are not many people who see patients here, why do you still need to get a number?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "This is the rule of our shop. ”

The two thanked the old doctor, came to the side of the case with the number, and saw a small servant sleeping on the case, and when they saw the two coming, they stretched out their hands listlessly and said, "If you want to get the number, pay ten taels of silver first." ”

"What?" Li Fengyun and Du Ruyue both opened their mouths wide, and Li Fengyun asked cautiously: "It's just to take a number, how can it cost as much as ten taels of silver?"

The little guy said impatiently: "If you love to take it, if you don't take it, you will leave, will you see a doctor for nothing if you don't have any money?"

"This is really weird, and it deserves its reputation!" Li Fengyun said secretly, under the eaves, he had to bow his head, although he was annoyed in his heart, Li Fengyun still took out ten taels of silver in distress and handed it to the little guy.

The little guy took the silver, threw the fast wooden card to Li Fengyun, and said: "Don't blame me for not telling you, a wooden card can only be diagnosed once, valid on the same day, invalid the next day, after receiving the license, no money will be refunded, in addition, the consultation fee is calculated separately." ”

"What?" Li Fengyun called out, "These ten taels of silver are not considered to be medical fees?"

"Of course not, the divine doctor will make a move, how can ten taels of silver be enough, at least fifty taels!" The little guy said, "You go over there for the first consultation first, don't worry, there is no charge for the first consultation, and our Jishitang will never charge indiscriminately!"

Li Fengyun endured it, and returned to the old doctor according to his words, the old doctor squinted his eyes and gave him a pulse for a while, looked at and heard it, and asked in detail, recorded them one by one, and then stood up and said: "The medicine poison in the child's house is really rare, and it is beyond the power of the old man, please wait for a while, and the old man will go to ask for the divine doctor Yu." ”

Li Fengyun slandered in his heart: "If you are cured well, Lao Tzu still needs to run here from Kaifeng? ”

Du Ruyue quietly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Don't be angry!"
