"Dad, you can doubt my character, but you can't question my medical skills!" Xiao Rui retorted seriously.
The person involved, Mrs. Li Gang, did not look angry. Instead, he stroked his beard and pressed Song Guogong, and said to Xiao Rui with a smile: "It is rare in ancient times for people to be over seventy. I am eighty this year, and I have already taken life and death lightly. But young master, you are extraordinary, and your temperament is outstanding. It is said in Chang'an that your poetic talent is unparalleled, but I didn't expect you to have medical skills? I'm curious, which great sage taught a disciple like you?"
Xiao Rui admired the calmness of the old man in front of him. Looking at his demeanor, it was no wonder that he could be a teacher in the palace.
"Poems and essays are not worth mentioning. When I was traveling abroad, I met the miraculous doctor Sun Simiao. He taught me medical skills for a while. The old gentleman is in good spirits, but after all, he is old, so he should not be too tired, which will harm the body. unfavorable."
Xiao Yu quickly apologized: "Mr. Wenji, I'm a kid, please don't listen to his nonsense."
"I testify that my brother-in-law is not talking nonsense. He has great medical skills. He saved me when I fell into the water." Xiao Changle is definitely Xiao Rui's biggest fan.
Is your own father constantly causing trouble? Xiao Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes, leaned close to Xiao Yu's ear, and whispered a few words: "Dad, if you slander my medical skills again, I will tell you that you have strong anger and weak kidneys..."
"You kid..." Xiao Yu was instantly discouraged, his tone of voice changed, his beard kept trembling, and his expression changed drastically.
"Dad, didn't you send me to school? I have already paid my respects to my husband, so you can just go about your business. I will get along well with my wife." Xiao Rui sent Xiao Yu away with a smile.
Li Gang looked at the unique father and son and found it very interesting. There were countless nobles in Chang'an City, and he had seen countless fathers and sons, but the two people in front of him did not have the respectful restraint of other fathers and sons. Instead, they looked like two laughing and joking people. Although the scolding friend was not polite, there was a feeling of closeness that no one else had.
"I heard that you once said that if you can't compose a poem that surpasses that of a knight, then you are not worthy of being your teacher? Although I have composed countless poems, I think that none of them are as good as yours. I invite you to come just because I want to meet you. , Don’t be cautious. Just chat with me, an old man."
"Sir, you are too modest. The student is knocked on his head. You can't deny me, can you?"
"Huh? Hahahaha, you are indeed different."
The master and the apprentice walked into the school hand in hand. All the children in the classroom surrounded Xiao Changle, listening to her story with relish, "My brother-in-law is amazing. He can tell what illness you have with just one look? That time I My mother fell ill and fainted, so my brother-in-law took out a golden needle and cured my mother's illness in a quarter of an hour. My father said, my brother-in-law's medical skills are like those of a god..."
"Wow...can you cure the disease in a quarter of an hour? It's amazing. Last time I caught a cold and had a cough for half a month."
"What does half a month mean to you? I drank the decoction for half a month. Finally, the doctor said that the symptoms were wrong. He gave me a different prescription and drank it for another half month... If I hadn't been sick and couldn't get up, I really wanted to go up and beat him. That doctor has a meal!”
"And I, I..."
…
The children were chattering away one after another, all complaining about their illness experiences. Even the young Mr. Chengqian couldn't help but join in the complaining.
"Come on, come on, my brother-in-law is here, come on, come on, fourth brother, don't you have a toothache? Let my brother-in-law take a look at it." Xiao Changle pulled a little fat man and rushed towards Xiao Rui excitedly.
The little fat man covered half of his cheek and said vaguely: "Sister, show me how bad the toothache is..."
Old Li Gang frowned and said, "Qingque, you should take leave to rest if you are sick."
"The queen mother said that toothache is a minor illness and does not affect Si..."
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and picked up this cute little fat man, "Are you so obedient? Okay, call me brother-in-law, and he will show you. Come on, follow me out to watch, don't disturb the teacher's class. .”
"Hey, hey, put me down, don't put me on your shoulders..."
The whole class laughed. This fourth prince Li Tai, who usually looks serious and serious, is fine now. Someone can finally cure him. Why are you pretending to be an adult at such a young age?
Xiao Rui asked someone for directions, and carried Li Tai directly to Tai Hospital. Medical treatment required medicine, so Tai Hospital was the most suitable place. It's a good opportunity to skip class.
"This is an important area of the Taiyuan Hospital. No one is allowed to enter? Where do you come from?"
Xiao Rui put Li Tai on the ground, "Hey, is this your home? Take me in."
Li Tai straightened his clothes and laid out the prince's chart, "Be bold, get out of the way. The prince and his brother-in-law are going in, who dares to stop them?"
The guard guarding the door apologized quickly, as no one dared to offend the fourth prince.
Xiao Rui found a pen and paper, quickly wrote a prescription, and gave it to Li Tai to ask someone to get the medicine. He himself wandered around the royal medical center. Three or three doctors gathered together to discuss the problem, and some people were drinking tea. Reading, if the best job in the palace is to do it, it is definitely the Imperial Hospital.
"The cause of smallpox is an invisible poisonous germ. The existing medicinal stones are useless and it is impossible to cure it through medication. There is only one way, and that is to prevent the disease. Vaccination can prevent it."
Seeing an old doctor studying the medical case of smallpox, his brows furrowed, as if he was trying to figure out the condition, Xiao Rui couldn't help but interrupt to explain.
The old doctor didn't even raise her head, as if she was deeply in doubt, "Since medicine and stones are useless, how can we prevent diseases?"
"It's very simple. All newborns should be vaccinated with cowpox, so that they will no longer be infected with smallpox. If this persists for two generations, smallpox will be completely eliminated."
"Vaccinium? What is cowpox? What is the relationship between cowpox and smallpox?"
"Vaccinium is smallpox in cows..."
Xiao Rui gave a lively immunity teaching class. Gradually, more and more imperial doctors gathered around. No one cared about the identity of this young man. They were all attracted by the novel knowledge he told, which seemed to open up the world to everyone. A brand new door.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I have already drank the medicine. Will you be fine in a quarter of an hour?" The chubby Li Tai came over excitedly to find someone. When he saw Xiao Rui being surrounded, he shouted: "What are you doing? He is my brother-in-law. , you are not allowed to bully others!"
"Ahem, Qingque, they didn't want to hurt me. We were discussing medical skills. By the way, after you drink the medicine, you can go back to the Hongwen Hall to attend class. I'll chat for a while."
Xiao Rui sent Li Tai away and continued to have a detailed discussion with a group of imperial doctors about the eradication of smallpox.
An hour later, the two presidents of the Imperial Hospital, Zhang and Wang, hurried to the Taiji Hall to see the emperor, "Your Majesty, a stranger came to the Imperial Hospital and found a cure for smallpox. This is the implementation plan we have developed. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
"Oh? Smallpox? The incurable disease smallpox can actually be cured?"
