Fame and fortune are inevitable through the ages. If Chen Xi remembered correctly, he once read in a book that Hua Tuo also came from a family of Confucian classics, but the amazing thing was that almost all of his medical skills were self-taught.
Official history records that Hua Tuo was well-read in his youth and was proficient in Confucian classics and health care. When he was traveling in Xuzhou, Chen Gui recommended him to be an official. Later, Huang Wan, who was a Taiwei, also recruited Hua Tuo, but they were all rejected. From this aspect, the temptation of profit is probably not very effective.
As for fame, the old man in front of him is really a person whose reputation has been passed down through the ages, so Chen Xi can only give it a try. As for whether he can succeed, it just depends on his face.
"Why is Governor Chen doing this?" Hua Tuo smiled and said, "The old man never said he was leaving. Since the Governor puts the people first, how can Tuo not help you?"
Chen Xi sighed. The only thing left to do is to hope that he can establish a deep relationship with Hua Tuo's teachings to Taishan's doctor apprentices. Otherwise, Hua Tuo will leave and travel around the world when he realizes that he is almost done. Treat illnesses and save people, and do what you should do.
"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Chen Xi bowed, and Hua Tuo also felt it. Just like that, Chen Xi was completely relieved.
"Did the governor come here for something?" Hua Tuo glanced at Chen Xi and others and asked, "I think if it wasn't for something, he shouldn't have come looking for me, an old man."
Chen Xi smiled bitterly. What is the background of this era? I still remember what Han Yu said hundreds of years later: "A man with a hundred skills, a witch doctor, a musician, and a man of many talents, is despised by a gentleman." Of course, the musician here does not refer to someone like Cai Yan, but Actors, in the eyes of a gentleman, this group of people are all despicable. No matter how you do, it is still despicable to be superior to others.
A gentleman is disdainful, so Chen Xi clearly knew that Hua Tuo was very important, but he did not greet Hua Tuo when he came to Mount Tai. To be honest, it was inappropriate for Liu Yan to tell Hua Tuo these things, but fortunately, Liu Yan is now A great celebrity can be uninhibited and unrestrained, and he can ignore worldly things. He can do whatever others like and whatever suits their eyes.
Liu Yan can do that, but Chen Xi can't. Chen Xi represents half of Mount Tai. If Chen Xi goes out to greet Hua Tuo in person, then there will be too many people Chen Xi needs to greet in the future. The arrogance of the literati in this era will not allow themselves to be humiliated. , despicable people even have officials to greet them, but they don’t, so it’s only right to turn around and leave.
The general environment at this time is like this. This kind of trend cannot be reversed by one person or one generation. If Chen Xi does not want to confront the entire scholar class, it is best not to do such stupid things. He is a human being, not Long Aotian, who shouted "I want to defy heaven", was not that stupid.
Precisely because of the general environment of this era, he could only contact Hua Tuo when necessary. At other times, he could do so casually. Even the previous gift could be said to be a plan for the people of Mount Tai.
"Please help me find out which of our Taishan ministers are sick." Chen Xi pointed at everyone with a smile.
Hua Tuo glanced at it, then his eyes fell on Chen Xi, then he pointed at Guo Jia, Lu Su, and Fazheng, and said calmly, "Everyone, including you, is in a weak state. He, he , if he doesn’t take care of himself, he won’t live very long.”
Chen Xi coughed and said, "I'll make up for it when I get back. Let's prescribe a prescription for Feng Xiao and the other three first. Later, we can prescribe a prescription for all of us who are weak. It depends on how old you are."
"How could you be so messy? Although the three of them were all caused by drug poison, they are all different. You guys also have different physical deficiencies. The youngest one is from overwork, you are from overexertion, and he is from lung yin deficiency. , He is..." Hua Tuo clicked through them one by one, and each one was more or less sick. If this were left in the 21st century, Chen Xi would have turned around and left, but facing Hua Tuo, all he could say was That's it, after all, "hope" itself is Hua Tuo's strength.
Chen Xi's acceptance does not mean that others have accepted it. Sure enough, Fazheng, who has been irritable recently, jumped out immediately and asked, "I don't know how I know that we all have such diseases. Why didn't any of us feel it before you said it?" Do you have any illness?"
Although Guo Jia didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was a little suspicious. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would probably be suspicious. Maybe he is a quack doctor who pretends to be a trick. Who knows, even if you are really sick, you are definitely not Is the other party deliberately exaggerating to scare us?
Hua Tuo glanced at Fazheng and said, "You are taking a treasure pill made from mercury, right? Your mood is often unstable now, and your memory has slightly declined. You sometimes have insomnia at night, and you don't like to eat. Your eyesight is... It’s also starting to go down.”
Every time Hua Tuo said something, Fa Zheng's complexion darkened. He had never noticed this, but after being pointed out, thinking back to the time before he came to Mount Tai, it seemed that this situation did not exist, especially when he was emotionally unstable. Although he is not old, his intelligence is not inferior to others, how could his character be so bad.
Guo Jia was very familiar with Fazheng, so when he saw Fazheng's expression, he immediately understood that what Hua Tuo said was true, and he couldn't help but wonder, maybe he was really sick.
"But you are still young now, so you no longer need to take pills. I will prescribe a prescription and you can take it. The same goes for you. You just need to get more rest and sleep for five hours a day. You don't have to take it. Medicine." Hua Tuo greeted Zhuge Liang regardless of how surprised Fazheng was.
"The next two are you two." Hua Tuo looked at Lu Su and Guo Jia and frowned. Both of them were too poisoned and too old to be treated.
"This is Lu Zijing, and this is Guo Fengxiao." Chen Xi pointed at the two of them and said, "Doctor Hua, just say what you want."
"Let's talk about Lu Zijing first. In fact, both of them are deeply addicted. However, Lu Zijing is not good at drinking and sex, his body is not exhausted, and he has a good body foundation. At most, he feels waist discomfort occasionally, so he should quit first. Pill, and then take the medicine for a month, and the rest can only be supplemented by food." Hua Tuo shook his head and said, he is good at surgery, and he is not very good at this kind of disease.
"As for this Guo Fengxiao." Hua Tuo sighed, "He is deficient in energy and vitality. He is a young girl with fair skin, slightly difficult to breathe, reverse cough, sore limbs, and has eaten too much Wu Shi Powder. Let's cut this off first. If you eat less of that stuff, it is medicine, but if you eat more, it will damage the essence, energy, spirit, and internal organs. Give up alcohol and sex, practice inner breath more, and take supplements over the years to maintain your health. Even if there is a little bit of residual poison, it won't hurt."
The fan that Guo Jia was fanning could not help but stop.
Hua Tuo really didn't have any good solutions for Wu Shi Powder. He could handle the elixirs made from mercury and gold. Wu Shi Powder itself was a medicine for curing diseases. However, after taking too much of it, he didn't feel very good either. There is no way, not to mention that Guo Jia's body is not good. It is very likely that the tiger and wolf medicine did not cure the disease and took the person away first.
Everyone present was not stupid, and they were all very good at observing words and emotions. Naturally, they knew that Hua Tuo's judgment was not wrong at all, and they immediately became worried about their physical condition. They were hiding their illnesses and avoiding medical treatment, but as a person, they were afraid of death! (To be continued.)
