Smith immediately entered Peide Medical School and studied medical skills with Xiang Nan.
However, his foundation in traditional Chinese medicine was zero and he had to learn it from scratch. Therefore, Xiang Nan had to give him special extra lessons to teach him how to identify medicines, diagnose diseases, and diagnose and treat diseases.
Among them, there are thousands of commonly used medicinal materials alone. Many medicinal materials are very similar in shape, color, and smell. Just memorizing these medicinal materials takes a lot of energy.
However, Smith believes that these medicinal materials are very magical, and antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs may be extracted in the future, so he learns them with relish and never tires of them.
And Xiang Nan's acceptance of a foreign student also made him a big figure in the medical community in the capital. After all, he was the only one in the capital.
"He Xilaile is really capable. Even foreigners admire his medical skills and are willing to accept him as their teacher. It's really amazing!"
"Nowadays, the Westernization faction advocates "learn from the foreigners and develop skills to control the foreigners", but I didn't expect that Xilaile actually did the opposite and made foreigners willing to study medicine with him, which is rare!!"
"Xilaile has really brought glory to the country. Even foreigners want to worship him as their teacher. No wonder he has the reputation of a miracle doctor."
They talked about it.
Even Prince Jing praised Xiang Nan for doing a good job after hearing about it.
Today, the Qing Dynasty has been repeatedly bullied by foreigners and can hardly stand up straight. Now there is Xiang Nan, who uses miraculous medical skills to convince foreigners and make them willing to be defeated.
This is certainly an act that brings honor to the country and is worthy of praise!
"Zhengming, give this jade Ruyi of mine to Xi Langzhong." He told Lu Zhengming, "This is my congratulatory gift for him to have accepted a foreign apprentice."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Zhengming smiled and nodded.
…
"Prince Jing is too polite. He's just accepting a foreign student, so he can't afford to give such a generous gift." Xiang Nan declined with a smile.
"Hey, Xi Langzhong, just accept him." Lu Zhengming said with a smile, "In recent years, the imperial court has not taken advantage of foreigners. Now, by accepting foreigners as disciples, you can be regarded as earning face for the imperial court. "
When Xiang Nan heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
Once upon a time, China was a place that foreigners longed for.
The Roman Empire called China [Seris], which means the country of silk. Julius Caesar went to the theater to watch a play wearing silk, which attracted thousands of people to watch. The price of a piece of silk was more expensive than gold.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo came to the capital and praised China to the fullest, praising its developed industry, prosperous towns, complete transportation, magnificent buildings, and popular banknotes.
During the Ming Dynasty, China was still highly regarded by foreigners. The porcelain, silk, and tea produced in China were all very popular in the West. French King Louis XIV even built a Chinese Palace in Versailles.
That is to say, in the Qing Dynasty, the country was closed to the outside world, which caused China's national power to decline and its civilization to regress. So much so that now, it is regarded as a strange thing for a foreigner to worship a Chinese as his teacher.
It's really sad, pitiful, and deplorable!
…
I heard that Xiang Nan actually accepted a foreign apprentice and became very popular in the medical community in the capital. Even Prince Jing admired him and specially rewarded him with a jade Ruyi. Naturally, Wang Tianhe was even more dissatisfied.
He summoned Tian Kui again and urged him to take action as soon as possible so that Xiang Nan could be discredited and withdraw from the capital as soon as possible.
"Tian Kui, don't forget who helped you arrange your trip to the Procuratorate." Wang Tianhe coldly ordered, "If you are a foreigner and don't contribute, then don't blame me for being rude."
"Mr. Wang, how can I dare to work as a foreigner? I am seizing the time to look for candidates." When Tian Kui heard this, he immediately complained, "You also know that this matter is not easy to handle. If the news accidentally leaks, I will be unlucky. It doesn’t matter, I’m just afraid of injuring you, so I’m going to be careful and careful in order to succeed in one fell swoop.”
"So how's your search going?" Wang Tianhe asked.
"It's almost done." Tian Kui said quickly, "Sir, please give me another half month, and I will definitely help you get it done."
"Half a month?! Xilaile is arrogant enough now. In another half month, he will be able to go to heaven." Wang Tianhe said angrily, "Hurry up and do it. I will hear it within seven days at the latest." Good news. If you can do it, I will guarantee your promotion to the Supervisory Censor. But if you can't do it, you can't even think about being a procuratorate."
"Yes, Lord Wang." Tian Kui immediately bowed and said in his heart, "The Supervisory Censor is only a seventh-grade official. It would be too disrespectful to use such an official position to sacrifice your life for me.
To say that the prince is still kind, he is a sixth-grade official when he makes a move. If I could gain his favor, it would be much better than following Wang Tianhe. "
Therefore, after returning from Wang Tianhe's house, Tian Kui quietly approached Xiang Nan.
…
Late at night, Xiang Nan and his apprentices concocted the medicinal ingredients, and when they were about to take a rest, they heard a knock on the door, and everyone was startled.
Takako ran over and answered the door, then ran back, "Master, there is a man named Tian Kui outside the door who wants to see you and says he has something important to tell you about life and death."
"Tian Kui?!" Xiang Nan was stunned. He didn't expect that this person would take the initiative to appear in front of him. It really surprised him.
"Invite him in." He thought for a moment and said.
Although Tian Kui is greedy and ungrateful, he is not a fool and never does unnecessary things. There must be something wrong with him coming here this time.
"Old man, what's going to happen again?" Hu Suhua asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about it. If the sky falls, I will hold it up." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go, take Yu'er, Defu and the others back to the house first."
"Oh." Seeing Xiang Nan so confident, Hu Suhua couldn't help but nodded and asked her disciples to go back to the house.
After a while, Guizi led Tian Kui in.
"Xia Tian Kui, I took the liberty of visiting you. I hope Xi Langzhong won't take offense." Tian Kui said with cupped hands.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Xiang Nan also cupped his hands, "Mr. Tian, please sit down, dear son, and watch tea."
After sitting down, tea was served.
"Mr. Tian just said that he has something important to tell Xi about life and death..." Xiang Nan asked.
"Yes." Tian Kui said, "That's it. Xi Langzhong, I overheard that the imperial physician Wang Tianhe intended to harm you, so he came here to warn you."
Xiang Nan was stunned and felt a little surprised.
In the TV series, it was Tian Kui who tipped Wang Tianhe off, causing the Xilaile family to be wanted. Now it was Tian Kui who tipped him off and exposed Wang Tianhe.
This is really fresh.
"Is what Mr. Tian said true?" he then asked.
"Everything is true, I dare to guarantee it with my life." Tian Kui said, "He is going to ask scoundrels to poison the food that is the most important thing to eat and poison the diners to death, so as to frame him."
When Xiang Nan heard this, he was horrified.
This method is really extremely sinister.
Because Shiweitian’s kitchen is always full of people. There are no less than a hundred people coming in and out every day, including chefs, waiters, maids, food delivery people, meat delivery people, water delivery people, water pourers, and garbage delivery people.
If someone wants to secretly drug him, it's really difficult to prevent him.
Everyone who eats at Shiweitian is either rich or noble. Once someone is killed, the Shiweitian brand will be completely ruined. Even his reputation as a miracle doctor would be damaged.
