The days passed slowly, and it was the end of the year. For Nan Xian, there was nothing that could cause trouble in daily life. There was only one thing. A few days ago, I received a letter from Shishen. The letter said that the weather in Nanland was hot, and there was a sudden popularity among the people. He contracted a strange disease and more than ten people have died.
Shizhen is a person who likes to be more serious. Especially when he encounters difficult problems in diagnosing and treating patients, he has a stubbornness that must be overcome. Nanxian read the letter and knew the result just by reading the beginning. He must not be coming back to celebrate the New Year this year. He would stay in the local area to study the disease and find a suitable prescription.
Yunci took the letter and read it through. She was very disappointed. She lowered her sleeves and said, "We only get together once a year. After Aweng passed away, my brother was sent to another place, leaving only the two of us. There are strange things in the family." Deserted.”
Also, although the parents' families are not separated, they do not live together. The uncles are also busy in their own way and rarely move around. Due to Aweng's entrustment before his death, those aunts only came to visit once in a while. He didn't stay long after he arrived, but he told Nan Xian to take good care of his sister, and then went to the kitchen and backyard to inspect the servants to make sure that the servants were not lazy and that there was rice in the rice vat. The important task was completed.
If he makes an exception and is rewarded with a face, he will say cheerfully before going out, "When you encounter difficulties, just send someone to pass the message." Of course, no one would take it seriously. Shishen had been away from home for nearly a year, and the two sisters had depended on each other. After a long time, they had actually gotten used to it.
Nanxian patted Yunci on the shoulder, "In two days, let's go shopping at the market." He leaned close to her ear, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and told her proudly as if he was afraid of leaking the news, " I have saved a lot of money this year, so I can make you some beautiful clothes and take you to eat on both sides of the Huai River."
Yunci said "Ah", "I've never seen Sister receiving money for medical treatment."
Nan Xian smiled and said: "I am a boudoir girl. People don't pay the medical fee in person. They always give it to the maid before going out. At first, I was refused, but then they insisted on paying, so I accepted it."
Yunci nodded slowly, "If we don't accept money, they will owe us favors. Instead of owing favors, it would be more refreshing to give money."
Anyway, you are happy if you have money. My brother is not at home, but there is no one to take care of things, which makes things more loose.
It is rare to have a sunny day at the end of the year. The air is cold, but the sun is dazzling. Nanxian had some free time, so he and Yunci moved armchairs and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.
There was a little girl in the family who gave birth to a baby. She had not been very smart since she was a child. She came in from the courtyard door, lowered her head and fiddled with a piece of paper in her hand. She raised her eyes and saw Nan Xian. She raised her hand and said: "Madam, the concierge. He picked up a paper bag and said it was a gift to me. There were three pennies in the paper bag and a few words written on it. Mother Zhang read it and said she wanted to borrow her life. What is borrowing a life? "
Nan Xian leaned forward and took it over to look at it. It was indeed written on the paper, "Borrow Yang to live for three years."
"It's like someone who knew he was going to die is buying his life," Yunci scorned, "The concierge picked it up and gave it to you. It's really unethical."
The little envoy was very happy. She showed her three copper coins with her hands and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing. This money is free. The concierge is a good man."
Yunci sighed, "Is your three years of life only worth three cents?"
But her pure mind always only recognized money, so the little envoy said, "I have a lot of life, why not set up a stall in front of the door. Anyone who wants to buy lives can come to me. If I sell more, I will make a fortune."
Nan Xian laughed, "The Prince of Hell is checking the book of life and death. You have been hanging upside down for a hundred thousand years. How will you explain it then?"
Speaking of the Lord of Hell, the little girl was scared, "Do we still need to check the accounts?" These three copper coins also became a hot potato, and she said, "Then I won't sell it, and I will give the money back."
Nanxian said: "Send it to the merit box of Waguan Temple and ask the Buddha to make a clear decision."
The little envoy thought it made sense. Buddha and Yama were officials in the same dynasty, so they should be able to discuss it.
So he hurriedly ran to the courtyard gate, shouting as he ran: "Auntie, I'm going to Waguan Temple."
Her mother was starching and washing clothes in the back. When she heard her shouting, she ran out of the alley, wiped her hands and yelled: "Why are you going to Waguan Temple?" Unfortunately, she couldn't stop shouting, so she could only look at her retreating figure and complain, "This Stupid thing, can't help at all."
Nanxian and Yunci sat back in their armchairs with smiles. Sometimes just watching the fireworks in this world made life very interesting.
Speaking of interesting, in fact, those who work in Nanxian's profession can sometimes find out some secrets. The ladies who come for consultation are usually cautious about their words and deeds, but they never mince words when facing the doctor, and they say whatever they have to say.
Nanxian's medical skills cover a wide range of areas, from teeth grinding treatment to vitiligo, from corns treatment to premature ejaculation. In fact, he is not only specialized in treating female problems. Then I heard that Dr. Guanglu went to the toilet in the morning and urinated like rice soup. He often suffered from back pain and insomnia. He often prolapsed his anus while squatting. It was the time when the Holy Father was traveling and it was difficult to take leave. He persisted for a day and got home. At that time, the crotch was swollen as big as a fist.
Anyway, there are all kinds of interesting things. In addition to the illness, it extends to the family life, and there are all kinds of strange things between the couple.
I was thirsty after being exposed to the sun for a long time, and I was about to ask someone to bring me something to drink. Suddenly, there was a message on the door saying that the lady of the Zhongshu Supervisor was here and asked me to treat my lack of milk after childbirth.
Nan Xian said yes, "Please come to the side hall to serve tea."
When we entered, the wife of the Central Secretary was sitting in front of the window, looking around. The scenery in Xiangjiayuan is very good. There is a small and exquisite lake outside the window. There is a pair of geese on the lake. Even in the middle of winter, it is very interesting.
In addition, the girl is very considerate, unlike in a general clinic where the smell of medicine is overwhelming and the wooden medicine cabinets are everywhere. The place was lit with amber, and the chairs were covered with fragrant and soft cushions. Therefore, when the wife of the Central Secretary saw Nan Xian, she said sincerely: "I still love Madam Xiang the most. Madam, this place is leisurely and elegant. Even if you apply golden needles, you will not be scared." .”
After greeting each other, Nanxian looked at the young woman in her twenties next to her and asked her to rest her wrist on the pulse pillow.
Xu Xu, the wife of the Zhongshu Supervisor, introduced: "This is my third wife. After giving birth, her milk supply was very scarce and has completely disappeared in the past few days. Although there is a wet nurse, she is still worried about being fed by others, so I came to ask my wife to think of a way for us."
After she finished speaking, Nan Xian also finished the diagnosis. He took back his hand and said, "Let me make a prescription. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take it three times before meals. Usually one dose will be effective."
These words surprised the wife of the Zhongshu Supervisor, "Last time, a grandma who was trying to induce labor came back and said that she could drink Wang Buliu Xing boiled in water. After drinking it for half a month, she still had no effect. Can this prescription be effective in just one dose?"
Nan Xian smiled and said, "Wangbuliuxing alone is not enough. It must be combined with armor beads, saponin thorns, etc. If it works, go back and give it a try. If it doesn't work, send someone here."
The wife of the Zhongshu Supervisor was very happy and waved her hand: "Since this is a prescription prescribed to my wife, I must not tell you anything." Seeing her daughter wink again, she immediately understood and said to Nan Xian in a low voice, "There is also I'm sorry to ask you, my wife has lost her vitality after giving birth and has been miserable all day. I would like to see if there is any way to recuperate her." After a brief pause, he added, "If men and women can If we supplement each other at the same time, that would be great.”
Usually this kind of request is nothing more than planning to have another baby next year. Nan Xian took out a ready-made prescription from the drawer, pushed it forward and said: "Rejuvenation, medicinal wine, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence. A small cup every morning and evening, it is forbidden for colds and menstruation."
The wife of the Zhongshu supervisor and Sanniang laughed like a flower. The wife of the Zhongshu supervisor said: "Thank you very much. For matters in the boudoir, you still have to consult the female doctor in the boudoir. Recently, my husband has been involved in the court affairs. I'm so busy with work that I can't even touch my ears. When I get back later, I will definitely seek a prescription from my wife to help that man heal."
After saying a few polite words, the visitor stood up to straighten his cloak and prepared to leave. Sanniang stroked the fox hair on the fly and asked casually: "Why is Aweng busy? But the heir of King Feng Yi is returning to the clan to prepare an edict for His Majesty. Headache?"
When they talked about King Feng Yi, Nan Xian paused for a moment, and then listened to the wife of Zhongshu Supervisor say: "No, if you want the name to be justified, you have to search the classics to find a reasonable explanation. At the beginning of the month, it should be King Feng Yi On the day when the heir was to meet the Holy See, unexpectedly he did not show up that day. He was said to have been poisoned and almost died. It took seven or eight days before he went to court. He vomited a large mouthful of blood in court, and the Holy See jumped up in shock. "
Nanxian's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't understand why he was still vomiting blood even though he had almost been cured that day.
I also heard the wife of the Supervisor of the Central Secretariat say: "In the case of Lu Shangshu, I originally advocated favoring King Feng Yi's lineage, but this time he wanted to take advantage of it and let the heir inherit the title. It seems that the emperor also wanted to compensate the heir. This broke the whole story. For example, it was originally said that only those who were granted the title of Commandery and Marquis were granted the title, so I suffered a lot from you, Aweng, and turned over all the classics before I found a set of excuses and drafted an edict to explain it to the world."
Sanniang raised her chin and asked the maid to tie the ribbon on her collar. She took the time to ask, "Then the heir is now King Feng Yi?"
The wife of the Zhongshu Supervisor said "Huh", "I think it will be soon."
The mother and daughter got ready, thanked Nanxian again, and then left the side hall.
Nan Xian didn't understand the reason at first, but after hearing it, he suddenly realized that the spit of blood in front of the civil and military officials of the court was not for nothing, but someone else's scheming.
Recalling the scene when she saw Prince Feng Yi's heir that day, he was lying there dying, his expression changing so rapidly that she couldn't remember his appearance later. Now that I think about it, those eyes full of youthful freshness can also be deceiving. With a complicated life experience, you have to put more thought into it, and all the preparations become reasonable and well-founded.
Sigh, things in the court are so complicated, I feel dizzy thinking about it too much.
Nanxian put the pulse pillow back in the drawer, and was about to go back to the backyard to discuss what to eat for dinner with Yunci when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The maid who was worried stood in front of the door and reported that two people came outside without request. Meet the little lady.
Nan Xian didn't take it seriously, and lowered his eyes and said, "I must be here to see a doctor. Please invite him in."
But the maid hesitated again, "Those are two men."
Nan Xian refused without thinking, "I won't treat men, let them go elsewhere."
The maid responded, "My maid, go right away." As she walked, she muttered, "As I said, I don't want to check the men's pulses, but insist on seeing them..."
Nan Xian raised his eyes when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped the servant woman and asked, "What do those two men look like?"
The servant woman said: "One is a middle-aged man with a beard that looks like his eyebrows. The other's face can't be seen clearly, his face is covered by a hood, and he stood there without saying a word."
Nan Xian understood and signaled to the maid: "Ask them to go to the front hall, I will come later."
Although the servant girl was a little confused, she still followed the instructions.
Nan Xian put away his pen and ink, stood up and stroked his skirt and went to the front hall. Walking on the veranda opposite, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing in front of the door. She remembered the steward, standing sideways as she had seen him before. But the other one, to be honest, I only see him lying on the bed, so he looks very strange. He is thin and tall, standing there upright, like a tall bamboo.
The steward caught her by mistake and hurriedly raised his hand to her, "I'm here today to express my gratitude to the young lady and ask for your forgiveness."
Nan Xian still looked unhurried and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Seeing that your master is acting as usual, I feel relieved."
The rightful owner who received the treatment must personally thank the savior this time. The young man in the cloak finally took off his hood and bowed deeply to her, "I can't repay my kindness to my wife, so I still thank you deeply. "
Nan Xian hurriedly raised his hand, "I am also entrusted by my brother, so you don't need to be polite."
After politely accepting the offer, the young man straightened up. At this sight, the surprise from last time was a little bigger. The eyes were still the same, but there was something remarkable about them beyond the eyes. The white skin, the beautiful moon-shaped lips, the young master was unparalleled in the world, but that's all. .
