On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Anqing Mansion, Yuque Temple, Weijia Lane.
"Quickly, make some medicine, ginseng soup, and risk factor. If you hold on, His Majesty will recruit you into the palace to teach the prince's studies. If you die, His Majesty will kill your whole family. You can't die!"
The imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital was sitting next to the sickbed, checking his pulse and calling someone to make ginseng soup, while calling Wei Su.
Wei Su is not dead yet, but his face is not very good-looking. According to history, he died two days later.
At this moment, he was sick, and someone came to treat him. They were a group of powerful doctors from the Imperial Hospital, and they brought all kinds of good medicinal materials.
His family members also stayed in the room, and a doctor from Huimin Pharmacy in the city stood beside him with a look of helplessness on his face.
He had just finished diagnosing Wei Su's pulse, thought about the medicine, shook his head and sighed, and then a group of people rushed in and gave him ginseng soup to kill him, and then prescribed other medicines.
He really wanted to explain to a young man in his twenties that it wasn't that I couldn't do it, but that the ginseng from Huimin Pharmacy and Herbal Medicine Library wasn't good. absolutely not.
Wei Su, who was lying on the collapse, didn't know he was going to die. He thought he was just sick. He fell asleep just now and was woken up now.
After pouring a bowl of ginseng soup, he felt his stomach was relieved, and then he looked at his family and another doctor he knew from Huimin Pharmacy, as well as people from the Imperial Hospital and the palace.
After analysis, he asked: "Doctor Pang, should I..."
"It was true before, but not now. They brought good medicine, and the key medicine is better than ginseng." Pang Zheng, a doctor at Huimin Pharmacy, told the truth.
He knew what the risk factor was like, heart disease was more difficult to treat, and a disease in early spring could be fatal.
As a result, people from the palace and master doctors from the imperial hospital arrived, bringing medicinal materials as well as heart medicine.
"Weisu! You must persist. His Majesty and His Royal Highness are waiting for you! We will all be unlucky if you die." The leading doctor advised Wei Su again.
"You are..." Wei Su didn't recognize the other party.
"The Imperial Hospital has collapsed. A few days ago, His Majesty suddenly issued an order to dispatch the best doctors from the Imperial Hospital and bring good medicine to help you.
I set off from Nanjing and crossed the Qinhuai River all the way upstream. I came to you as soon as I arrived at the dock today.
I feel like I have to drink a bowl of ginseng soup to hang myself. If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about future generations, right? "
The court judge Fang Kui briefly explained the matter and continued to persuade people that sometimes people can survive if they just hold on for a while.
Wei Su analyzed it again and found that he had participated in the history of Song, Jin, Liao, and Yuan, and was proficient in poetry, prose, and calligraphy.
He has served as numerous officials in the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, Agriculture, Imperial Censor, Zhongshu Province, and even in charge of troops at the border.
He was the kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to find who would take the imperial examination, and he was also the one Zhu Wentian wanted to save, otherwise someone would have died last year. Zhu Wentian knew that, considering the other person's age and position, he felt that it was unlikely that he could be saved, so he didn't Meaning, he didn't take action.
He is considered a dead horse and a living doctor. If he lives a few more years, he will be very useful to the Ming Dynasty.
Such people ponder over the situation and find that they cannot analyze it.
"How did your Majesty know that I was sick?" Wei Su asked a very crucial question.
"How do I know? Come, drink the medicine, wait an hour, and then drink porridge. The porridge is still cooking, lean meat, vegetables and millet porridge." Fang Kui said he didn't know.
Another bowl of medicine was brought, this one was a powder, and it was made quickly. The previous ginseng soup could still be boiled, but not all the medicine in the ginseng was boiled out.
Wei Su drank it down, feeling uncomfortable lying down, so he sat up and said, "Huh~~~ You all can get off! I'm fine."
He took a long breath, his whole spirit changed, and his eyes became brighter.
"Okay, okay, this turbid breath is good, good!" Fang Kui saw Wei Su exhale and was completely relieved.
An hour later, the porridge was served, along with side dishes.
When Wei Su saw the porridge and side dishes, he analyzed it again, then considered the important moment, and then asked: "How long have I been lying in bed?"
"I slept last night. It's morning now. You didn't get up. You didn't say anything when I called you, so I invited Doctor Pang." His eldest grandson gave the answer.
"In that case, where do the lettuce, bok choy, cucumber pickles, steamed eggplant with pickles, and cold celery in this porridge come from?"
Risk factor discovered an important situation. The Spring Festival has just passed and it has not yet reached the fifteenth day of the first lunar month! This place is Anqing Prefecture, not Qiongzhou Prefecture.
"Grandpa, someone from the palace brought it to me. My grandson heard from businessmen in the past that there are greenhouse vegetables in Nanjing that can be grown in winter and the price is high."
Wei Su's eldest grandson did know something about the situation, although he had never sold greenhouse vegetables to Anqing Mansion.
"The method of fire? In the Tang Dynasty, vegetables were grown next to hot springs and water flow, so they could be harvested in winter. In the Song Dynasty, there was a fire method for the royal family."
Wei Su thought of the situation in the two dynasties. Vegetables could be grown in winter, but the quantity was too scarce.
"Scholar Wei is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but the vegetables in this greenhouse are countless times better than those in the Tang and Song Dynasties. They are exclusive to Ningguo Mansion, Xuancheng County, and Xiaqiu Village, and can produce thousands of kilograms of vegetables every day.
Some of them gave it to the palace, and some of it was sold. When it was most expensive, it cost 800 coins per catty, and when it was cheap, it cost 50 coins.
Before I come out, I will bring fresh vegetables with me to help you condition your body. You can try it. "
Fang Kui did not call Wei Su by his current official name, Ancestral Official, for fear of making the other party uncomfortable, so he still addressed him as a bachelor of Hongwen Hall.
Wei Su nodded and didn't need anyone else to feed him. He picked up the cucumber and ate it first. As soon as the fragrant taste entered his mouth, he had an appetite.
People from the palace chatted with Wei Su's eldest grandson, mainly talking about things in Xiaqiu Village, including the library, selling box lunches, etc.
Wei Su listened while eating, but he didn't feel bored. Occasionally he would stop and listen carefully before continuing to eat.
In two quarters of an hour, he drank more than half of the bowl of porridge, picked out the lean pork shreds and vegetables in the porridge and ate them, leaving the rest of the millet alone.
Fang Kui took another pulse, lit the soothing incense he brought, and slowly massaged Wei Su's head. Wei Su slowly fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Wei Su's family members were left standing by, while Fang Kui and others came out and took deep breaths one by one.
"Alive, finally alive." The eunuch who just told the story wiped his sweat. In order not to make Wei Su feel that he was a patient, he kept looking for interesting topics to talk about.
He didn't dare to talk about the situation in the officialdom. He was worried that Wei Su would recall that unpleasant time, so he had to take Qiucun as the subject.
"I can't die. I sent someone to deliver a message to His Majesty." Fang Kui also breathed a sigh of relief and completed the task. He took Wei Su on board at noon today and went down the river.
It is not good to rush when you are sick, but being able to leave this dangerous place early is beneficial to your condition. Choose the lesser of two evils and the greater of two benefits.
Find a big ship where the rocking will not be too violent. Once you get to Nanjing, the rest will be easy.
A small boat went to report the news first, allowing Nanjing to arrange the accommodation of Wei Su and his family in advance.
