Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 59

He Shi asked: "Mother, let's go to Qingyun Temple to worship incense first, and then go to the city and stay in an inn, okay?"

Qu's expression was excited, and he said with a smile: "You and I have thought of a place. It's not too late today, let's go to Qingyun Temple. Tomorrow we will spend a whole day in the city."

Two donkey carts drove from the wharf to Qingyun Temple and received forty copper coins from the Li family. The two drivers waited outside the gate after hearing that the Li family said they would only stay in the temple for a while before entering the city.

Qingyun Temple has a history of thousands of years. After several dynasties, it was built on the mountain. The beautiful scenery of eight places in the pond separates the nine halls.

The plum garden in the twelfth lunar month has the most beautiful scenery, with hundreds of plum trees and thousands of plum blossoms blooming on the branches, the fragrance of flowers is quiet and pleasant, and many pilgrims linger in it.

Among the nine halls, the most incense is not the Sanqing Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, and the Liuyu Hall, but the Songzi Niangniang Hall.

It is rumored that Qingyun Temple's Songzi Niangniang Temple is very effective, and pilgrims from thousands of miles away travel long distances to seek their children.

The Li family went to the three main halls and the Temple of the God of Wealth to offer incense. They did not have the wish to seek a son, so they were not going to send the son to the Empress Hall.

When Li Yunxiao was visiting the plum garden, he heard a child say the name of the Songzi Niangniang Temple, so he insisted on going there.

Qu's loved twins the most, so he said, "It's still early, let's go."

He looked towards the Palace of Sending the Son off, and said slowly: "Mother, I passed by there just now, seeing the crowds of people, why don't Changsheng and I take Xiaoyazi over there, and you just wait here with your bags."

Qu Shi mistakenly thought that He Shi was going to ask for a son, and the Li family could have a newcomer, so he said with a smile: "You guys are gone, don't be in a hurry to come back, pay more respects to the mother who sent you off."

Li Yunxiao happily sat on Li Laoshi's shoulder, stuck out his tongue at Li Jingjing, and said cheerfully, "My parents won't take you there."

Li Jingjing turned her head away and said, "I'm not going."

Li Laoshi's family of three squeezed into the yard from the entrance, hearing the voices of pilgrims, as if entering a market, not like a Taoist temple.

Li Yunxiao sneezed twice due to the smoke from the incense fuel, and persistently shouted: "Father, I want to see the mother-in-law."

Li Laoshi saw that the hall was overcrowded and couldn't squeeze in, so he asked Li Yunxiao to look at the concubine from three feet away, and then squeezed out the same way.

He's eyes followed Li Yunxiao, and vaguely heard a woman behind him call "Yiniang!" in Chang'an dialect.

She was shocked, and immediately turned her head to look, only to see groups of female pilgrims wearing colorful dresses, none of whom were familiar faces.

Li Yunxiao shouted: "Father, my new shoes are gone!"

He's gaze returned to Li Yunxiao, seeing that his right foot only had a sock and no shoes, he was afraid that he had been squeezed out in the crowd just now, frowned and said: "Changsheng, there are too many people, so don't look for shoes, let's go to Xiaoya when you enter the city." Buy a pair."

Li Yunxiao yelled: "My new shoes are comfortable to wear. I want my new shoes!"

He Shi shouted: "Who told you to come and see the mother-in-law? Don't cry. If you cry again, you will be left barefoot, and I won't buy you new shoes."

She usually loves Li Yunxiao very much, but the discipline is very strict, and when she got angry and beat Li Yunxiao, Qu Shi couldn't stop her.

Li Yunxiao could only keep his mouth shut, and cried aggrievedly when he saw Qu Shi.

Qu Shi coaxed: "Don't cry, I brought you shoes."

She has a lot of things in her big luggage. The dragon and the phoenix each have a pair of shoes and two changes of clothes.

Before dusk, the Li family entered Tanzhou City and lived in a mid-range inn.He Shi asked for four first-class rooms with fireplaces.

The Li family put down their burdens and washed their faces, and happily found a big restaurant next to the time-honored bank for dinner.

A family of nine ordered seven dishes, a soup, a large pot of rice, and a jar of rice wine, spicy braised black fish from the Xiangjiang River, braised dog meat, crispy baby duck, fried egg with hibiscus, crispy eggplant with minced meat, stir-fried red cabbage moss, Brasenia three delicacies soup, full of color, fragrance and taste, the appearance and taste of the dishes are stronger than last night's restaurant in Liuyang County, the price is also a bit more expensive, it cost a total of 430 copper coins.

Qu's is not like the women in the village who have eaten and enjoyed and feel sorry for money.

Before He Shi came out of the inn, he specially inserted the pearl-encrusted butterfly wing gold hairpin given by Qu Kuaishou and his wife in his hair. After the Li family had dinner, he asked Li Laoshi to go to the bank next door to exchange the thousand taels of silver bills for 50 taels. Amount of silver bills and twenty ingots and ten taels of silver ingots.

The two left Yinzhuang, wandered around, confirmed that no one was following them, and then returned to the inn steadily.

The next morning, the Li family woke up and heard someone outside the window yelling "It's snowing" in surprise. When they opened the window, they saw crystal clear snowflakes floating in the sky, and a thin layer of snow had already fallen on the roof, branches and ground.

The winter in Tanzhou Prefecture is cold and humid, and the temperature is not as low as in the north. Light snow melts quickly when it falls on the ground, and moderate snow and heavy snow melt as soon as the sun comes out.

The most prosperous streets are densely packed with shops, busy with traffic, people coming and going, very lively.

The snow in the sky did not affect the good mood of the Li family shopping.

Qu Shi had long thought about the items to buy on the way to Laide.The He family has no natal family, so there is no need to visit relatives or buy gifts during the holidays.Only Qu's is the main purchaser of the Li family, and the rest of them just hang out with her and buy some gadgets they like.

Li Jingjing is average about clothes, jewelry, and food, so she entrusted He Shi to help buy a few sets of four treasures for the study, a few silk flowers, and a dozen purses made of brocade fabrics, and then went with Li Yunqing, Wanglian, and Mochizuki to have a look at the two dynasties. Time-honored doctors and pharmacies.

The medical hall is 20 meters away from the pharmacy, one is on the street and the other is in the middle of the street.

The name of the medical clinic is Pingkangtang. There are six doctors who regularly consult in the clinic, and two senior doctors who only visit for three days a month.

Each doctor is assigned two medical apprentices, and the great doctor is assigned four medical apprentices.When the doctor makes a visit, the doctor's apprentice should accompany him to help get the prescription, take the medicine and make a start.Those who need hospital treatment are taken care of by apprentice doctors, and the decoctions are also decocted by apprentice doctors.

It's the twelfth lunar month in winter, and patients want to get well soon and have a solid New Year's Eve.

The clinic was overcrowded, with patients coughing, spitting, vomiting, and moaning. In order to keep the air flowing, the doors were wide open and the thick cotton curtains were raised high.

Standing on the street, Li Jingjing can see the whole picture of the Pingkang hall. The area is more than ten times larger than the medical clinics opened by Qu Langzhong and Hong Langzhong in Taihe Town, and there are more than ten times more patients.

Physicians who issued documents issued by the imperial court, Buddhism, and Taoism of the previous dynasty can open medical clinics and sit in medical clinics.

Physician documents are divided into upper, middle and lower grades.The highest class is a great doctor, the middle class is a physician, and the lowest class is a doctor.

Qu Langzhong and Hong Langzhong obtained the doctor's certificate in Tanzhou Prefecture. The grade on the certificate is inferior, so they are called Langzhong.

Apprentice doctors study with doctors for a few years and pass the qualification examination for doctors. After obtaining the doctor's certificate, they become doctors and can open a small medical clinic in the town.
