Chapter Forty-Eight: Qing'er
Xu Xian nodded slightly: "Exactly, but I have only completed a small part, and the rest will rely on your strength." β
All the doctors were surprised, and they all knew something in their hearts. Zheng Taisheng said: "Doctor Xu, you mean let's make up this book?"
Xu Xian nodded and said, "Exactly." This medical book is called "Compendium of Materia Medica", and it needs to be completed by all famous doctors in Suzhou. β
Zheng Taisheng hesitated: "I'm afraid this is not easy! We all have business to do, and we don't have this effort!"
Xu Xian said: "Since I am the head of the association and the editor-in-chief of this book, I must ask you to make time to manage this matter." β
But when he first arrived, he was not gracious and powerful, and some people immediately complained: "Doctor Xu, although you are the head of the meeting, you can't force everyone to make up books!"
The others chimed in, "Yes, yes!" "It's a good thing to compile books, but no one likes to do unpaid labor." The little sesame oil money accumulated in the temple is so good that it can be used for eating, drinking, and gatherings, so why bother to compile any books?
Xu Xian had expected such a thing, and said, "Carry things in." β
Immediately saw Xiaoqing with the five ghosts carried in a large box, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Xu Xian stepped forward to open the box, and the white silver immediately dazzled everyone's eyes, but it was the diagnosis money obtained for Zhao Caizi's treatment. A few thousand taels of silver is not a decimal number, just put together like this, but it is very impactful.
If there was anything louder than a mina, it was two minas. All the doctors were stunned, wishing it was their own family.
Zheng Taisheng said: "Xu, Doctor Xu, what does this mean?" Invisibly, even speaking a little politely.
Xu Xian smiled slightly and said: "Naturally, I won't let everyone do day work, this is the fund for compiling the book, and it is all for everyone." "It's not profitable, and in order to improve efficiency, this cost is still necessary.
The crowd was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.
Xu Xian clapped his hands, and the hall immediately fell silent. Said: "You must feel strange, I don't know what my plan is for Xu Xian. I think you also know that I am a famous Xiucai, a disciple of the Hajj Academy, and my teacher has become the prince and the prince, walking in the court. Why did you come to Suzhou to run a small pharmacy and be the head of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association?
And all the people looked at him, and waited for the following. But I heard that Xu Xian's teacher was already the prince and the prince, which still caused a small wave. Although they couldn't figure out how big an official the prince was, since they were all involved with the prince, it must be very big!
Xu Xian continued: "For the sake of the world, for the livelihood of the common people, and for the sake of future generations! Not only do I want to make this book, but I also want to raise money to publish it in the world. These words are close to nothing, but they are Xu Xian's true thoughts at the moment.
All the doctors were also a little touched for a while, "hanging the pot to help the world, blessing the common people", which doctor never thought about it, but the passage of time has gradually consumed this spirit! Even if he only thinks about practicing medicine to make a living, who can say a word under the righteousness. But in the human world, it is obviously not enough to act on the basis of righteousness.
Xu Xian casually picked up a book and said: "Your names will also be printed on it, and then it will be passed on to future generations." If the Hereafter reads this book, they will remember your names. β
When everyone heard this, they were fascinated by it, and the thousand-year-old traditional education made the Chinese people always unable to see the word "name". Whether it is the emperor or the general or the common people, there is no exception. Lian Wen Tianxiang said: "Keep Dan to take care of Khan Qing", Khan Qing is the annals of history. A person who doesn't care about fame and fortune or even his surname and life always wants to leave a name in history. But loving a name is not a bad thing, but a manifestation of cherishing feathers.
As long as a person still cherishes his reputation, even if it is hypocritical, there will always be some consideration in doing things. has really become a real villain who is the so-called "straight to the heart", then he is really doing all kinds of evil, and there is no bottom line at all. Now that the world is in the wind, I am afraid that there are too many real villains who "laugh at the poor and don't laugh at prostitutes"!
Xu Xian's words hit the weakness of these people. Their eyes were full of golden light, and they all changed their minds and said, "Doctor Xu, I followed you." But with all due respect, I just saw that there are a lot of mistakes and omissions in the medical book you edited, and you can't do it if you don't change it, otherwise it won't be laughed at by future generations. β
"Yes, yes, I saw a little bit just now, astragalus can cure diarrhea, isn't this nonsense?"
Xu Xian was overjoyed, no matter what the moral character of these people is, but they have practiced medicine for decades, and they still have skills. Mutually corroborating discussions will certainly be of great benefit to this book. But there were two or three people who were hesitant.
Xu Xian glanced at it and said, "I am the head of the official faction, and as long as I am in the first day, I will always be the head of the association." Compiling this book is the first major thing I want to do during my tenure as the head of the association, and whoever wants to obstruct it or do it perfunctorily is the enemy of my Three Emperors Patriarch Association. When this book is finished, I plan to resign from the post of head of the council, recommend one, and ask the government to reappoint the head of the council. β
The Three Emperors Patriarch Association was originally the head of the rotating meeting, and everyone had a share. But Xu Xian, the head of the official faction, will not be in turn, and he can do it as long as he wants. Now that Xu Xian said this, who didn't look at Xu Xian and wanted to take over the position of the head of the association.
When everyone agreed, they dispersed. Xu Xian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on the Taishi chair, he was really not suitable for such an occasion! He knew that what he had just said was actually not beautiful. In the eyes of people who are proficient, it is even a little naΓ―ve. But it was so that no one could oppose him anymore.
He didn't use any intrigues and tricks, and completely overwhelmed people with the general situation. Tempting them to be famous, tending to them to profit, and then forcing them with power, they will be able to succeed.
In this case, there will naturally be no such thing as "the ancestor is born, everyone fights for treasures", and then all kinds of incidents caused by "Xiaoqing stealing treasures" will not happen, it can be regarded as a good fortune to avoid evil! But think that he has already had a conflict with King Liang's faction, but because he is still "small" for the time being, and his identity is a little special, he has not attracted an all-out attack.
Xu Xian couldn't help but wonder, whether to let Xiaoqing steal the treasure again, and kill King Liang alive, of course, it was just a thought. Dignitaries and dignitaries have their own qi in their bodies, and they are not easy to deal with with with spells.
Xiaoqing patted Xu Xian's shoulder and said, "Now you are satisfied!"
Xu Xian nodded and said, "I'm quite satisfied, thank you, Xiaoqing." But his eyes involuntarily fell on Xiaoqing's thin lips.
Xiaoqing noticed his gaze and said dissatisfiedly, "What bad things are you thinking about again?" β
Xu Xian looked away and changed the subject: "Your name is Cen Biqing, right?"
Xiaoqing said: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xian said: "Then how about I call you Qing'er in the future?"
Xiaoqing's face also turned red inexplicably, and he hugged his arms and said: "It's not good, you should call me Sister Xiaoqing, it is to see my sister's face, so that you Xiaoqing Xiaoqing's screaming will be changed from now on." "I want to take advantage of this girl, but there is no door.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "That's what I said, a few hundred years old." But look at Xiaoqing, who looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in front of her, full of youth and vitality, and in some places she is even more ignorant than people of the same age. said: "Otherwise, how about calling Sister Xiaoqing, calling Qing'er?"
Xiaoqing touched her head, thought about it with her snake head, and felt that she should have taken advantage, so she said, "Okay, call Sister Xiaoqing to listen first." β
Xu Xian smiled slightly and said, "Sister Xiaoqing." β
Although it was a gentle sound, it also made Xiaoqing feel comfortable, and he smiled and showed all the tiger teeth, although the cyan crystal earrings were flickering with trembling flower branches.
Xu Xian stood up and said, "Now it's my turn!"
Xiaoqing took a step back and said defensively: "Don't move your hands and feet!"
Xu Xian smiled: "That's natural, fair exchange." He leaned down to Xiaoqing's ear, and the thin cyan blood vessels in her white ear were clearly visible.
Xiaoqing said impatiently: "Hurry up." "I wanted to hide the little nervousness in my heart, maybe it was the heat that was spit on it, and my ears were a little itchy, and a layer of red quickly appeared.
Xu Xian smiled and said softly, "Qing'er." This call was not in a teasing tone or a provocative tone. It's just that with the true feelings in his heart, he said it softly. Faint, as if opening the lid of a teacup, a fragrant heat gushes out, naturally and without impurities.
Xiaoqing had already raised his strength, ready to withstand even the power of "mantra" or shameless teasing, but he was stunned when he heard the sound, and the faint voice penetrated into his ears along the breath he spitted, easily penetrating the barrier of the eardrum, reaching the bottom of his heart, making his heartstrings pluck for a while, but he trembled and couldn't stop.
This feeling made her feel more uneasy than a kiss, and more unbearable than when Zhixiuzu was held in his hand. Pushed Xu Xian away violently, didn't say hello, turned around and ran out as if fleeing.
From beginning to end, the two did not have the slightest contact. The rain outside the curtain fell little by little, intertwined into a curtain. Xu Xian patted his head, it seems that it is not easy to be a man in charge!
The question is, what is responsibility?
In the next few days, Xu Xian's great cause of compiling books finally embarked on the right path, and every time he took a group of old Chinese medicine doctors to study medical pharmacology in the temple of the Three Emperors Patriarch, I have to say that the power of the masses is still great in the end. And Xu Xian has mastered a lot of medical knowledge, but in terms of practice, he is still far behind this group of old-timers.
But he is still in the center, not only because he has more medical books on his back. It is also because I can use a more scientific attitude to treat all kinds of drugs and prescriptions. This attitude is not formed overnight, but is the result of the practice of countless predecessors who stand above the times.
However, as far as "medicine introduction" is concerned, it is very commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, and most of the medicine quotations used are also ordinary things such as "rice wine and ginger soup". But in later generations, it became Lu Xun's text "reed roots in winter, sugarcane after three years of frost, crickets to be original, knots of flat wood" these unbelievable things. Every time I become an excuse for a doctor, it is naturally my credit to be cured, and if I can't heal, I only blame you for not finding the right medicine.
Xu Xian naturally wants to set things right in these aspects in order to set things right. Although there are many reasons for the decline of Chinese medicine in later generations, most of them were destroyed by the Chinese people themselves. And the ultimate way of medicine, there should not be a distinction between Chinese and Western, the same is to cure diseases and save people, and mutual learning and integration is the king.
Although Xu Xian was the youngest, his prestige in this group of old Chinese medicine doctors gradually grew. But if there is any doubt, ask him. In the apricot forest, in the end, it is the level of medical skills that must be compared, and Xu Xian, although he has less experience in this regard, still has an innate advantage.
After a few days, he rearranged the books compiled by Xu Xian a few years ago, and the efficiency of division of labor and cooperation has really increased greatly.
This Xu Xian was sitting in the hall, reviewing the latest compiled books, and Zhao Zhutou of the yamen came in and asked, "Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu." β
Xu Xian put down the book, stepped forward and asked, there was already a servant serving tea.
Zhao Zhutou took a sip of tea and said: "My wife gave birth, and sure enough, as you said, it is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses." The prefect was overjoyed, and all of them who were serving had received red envelopes, which was a great joy for the whole house, and he also had joy on his face.
All the doctors looked at Xu Xian together, and when they saw Xu Xian, they smiled and said, "It's okay over there." β
Zhao Zhutou said: "This time it's thanks to that pill from your Baicaotang......
Xu Xian said: "Fetal pills." β
Zhao Zhutou said happily: "Yes, it is a fetal pill, and the mother and child are safe." I wanted to reach out and pat Xu Xian's shoulder, but I glanced at Xu Xian, who was standing indifferently, and then took my hand back, and then said: "My adult said, when the child is full moon, please be sure to go to the party, and he will personally thank you." And all the doctors, too, must go!"
Such an invitation is only a matter of face, the prefect gave the child a full moon, who dared not to go, and when the arrest was sent away, everyone gathered around and said: "Congratulations, Doctor Xu." Now the prefect must be serious. I just don't know what kind of medicine that fetal pill is?" "His face was full of envy, and he could show grace to Shangguan, there were not many opportunities like this.
Xu Xian smiled slightly, they didn't understand that under the premise of the party struggle between the government and the opposition, it was impossible for him and Governor Chen to have too deep communication. But with such a little kindness, presumably Governor Chen will not be ordered by King Liang to deal with himself ruthlessly.
But take this opportunity to instill more future medical concepts, and said: "The fetal pill is the Chinese patent medicine described in my book, which is easy to carry and has a lasting medicinal power. "The essence of effective prescriptions created and summarized by Chinese patent medicine pharmacists after thousands of years of medical practice, and they can be mass-produced. The improved efficiency will naturally stabilize the price of drugs, which will benefit more people.
The doctors were still a little skeptical about the prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines written by Xu Xian, after all, they were all old Chinese medicine practitioners, and it was impossible to make medicines without review, but after this matter, they all made up their minds and went back to try it. If it can be realized, it will definitely increase a lot of income.
In fact, the fetal pill is the fruit of the strange tree picked by Bai Suzhen, where is the Chinese patent medicine.
After a busy day in the Three Emperors Patriarch Temple, Bai Suzhen prepared a meal and waited for him when he returned home. Xiaoqing is sometimes there, sometimes not. But even now, it seems that he has made up his mind not to talk to Xu Xian, and occasionally glances at each other, his eyes flicker, and he immediately avoids it. The meal was also casually pulled, and he left in a hurry.
Bai Suzhen saw all this in her eyes, but never asked a word, looking like she wanted to go with the flow. "Hanwen, how is today's book?" Ping Yue finally saw him swaying in front of his eyes, and he didn't think that now he could only see it sooner or later, and he actually missed it a little.
Xu Xian said: "It's still like that, but if you want to complete it before the autumn, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Where did you and Xiaoqing go today? β
Bai Suzhen was about to talk to him, so she said: "I went to the fat powder village, and I bought a few small things, and I also went to the silk village, and I came with a few new satins, and I also bought a few, so I'll show you later." She was almost a little excited about these trivial things, and she didn't understand her mood at the moment. The tiny castle that I saw high above the white clouds was so interesting to see in the depths of it.
It's not just fun, it's because I can tell him. When he encounters something interesting, he always wants to write it down and go back to tell him about it, and he always listens so carefully, thinking or smiling along with her story, and in a trance, he is like a mortal husband and wife.
If it is not necessary, they rarely talk about the cultivation of the Dao or the affairs of immortals and ghosts during meals, and their words are nothing more than trivial matters such as shortness in the family, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
But from what she said, it suddenly became interesting, and sometimes I heard her complain slightly that the price of green onions had risen again recently, or that someone's husband and wife had quarreled. didn't expect her to have such a little gossip, but the appearance of this gossip is really cute!
Xu Xian smiled: "Let you not bargain with them?"
Bai Suzhen held the chopsticks in one hand and put them on the table with the other, her ivory fingers holding the tips of her black hair, and said, "Since we can make a lot of money, why bother with them about this benefit." It's not easy for them to get up early and stay late. And because you open a free clinic in Chinese, many people don't want money, so I accepted it because I was so good at talking. Between the tones, he was very proud of Xu Xian's free clinic.
No matter how much praise is used by others, just to make her a little proud, it is enough for Xu Xian to open this free clinic. And the title of "we" made Xu Xian even more useful. couldn't help laughing and teasing: "You are a living Bodhisattva, and you have come down to Pudu to live in the common people." β
Bai Suzhen's face also turned red, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the Bodhisattva is comparable to me!"
Xu Xian smiled: "You are not like a living bodhisattva in my heart. Looking at her, I sometimes think of the many novels I read in my previous life, and I have to bring out a "holy woman" at every turn, all of them are expressionless, but they are very good at acting on the spot. They all said that they wanted to save the common people, but they disdained the common people in their eyes. It makes people want to drag it out of the book and slap these saints a few times.
In comparison, she is so kind and gentle, gentle and kind. Let him often feel this way, if he can always be with him, sit at this dinner table, say a few words about his parents, and he will have the interest of life.
If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
