Song Yi

Chapter 16

The houses in the backyard are divided into two opposite parts. One side is a bungalow, which is the residence of the shop assistant, the kitchen, the workshop for processing medicinal materials, and the warehouse for stacking medicinal materials.

On the other side, there is a small two-story building, below which is the reception hall, which is used to discuss business and welcome guests.

There are two rooms on the upper floor, connected by a corridor on the back side.

The one next to the stairs is the study room, and there is a large suite on the inside. The outer room is lived by the maid Yingzi, and the inner room is lived by the shopkeeper Lin Qingdai.

A red lantern hangs at the head of Yingzi's stairs, and the lights are already lit in the study.In front of the door is an antique plan of nanmu long strips.

There are brushes of different sizes hanging on a pen shelf at the desk, and an inkstone exudes a faint fragrance of ink.

In the other corner, a stack of white papers was neatly stacked.

Behind the desk is a grand chair, the armrests are bent into beautiful curves, and a square light red cushion is placed on the chair.

Du Wenhao stretched out his hand and touched it, it was just right.

There are two long rows of bookshelves on the side and the back side. The bookshelves are full of thread-bound books neatly placed on them. The maid Yingzi should clean them every day, and the bookshelves are spotless.

There is an eight-step bed in the back, hung with blue curtains, and the crescent hooks are rolled up on both sides. The sheets and bedding are brand new, and a round pillow with a dried chrysanthemum core exudes a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Next to the bed is a large wardrobe against the wall. In the corner of the room is a person-high flower stand with a pot of Chlorophytum placed on it.

On the side of the yard, there is a row of windows with carved window lattices pasted with white paper.One door was open, and Du Wenhao walked over to take a look, facing the yard where they were concocting medicinal materials just now.

There are two chairs under the window and a tea table in the middle, also made of antique nanmu.

Such furniture should be worth a lot of money in a modern society where nanmu is scarce, but in the Song Dynasty, ordinary people had it, so it was not a rare thing.

There is a door on the inner side. The two rooms used to be connected, but it has been closed now. There is a long desk in front of the door with two potted flowers on it.

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Doctor Du, are you satisfied with this residence?"

Du Wenhao looked around and said with a smile: "That's really great, thank you shopkeeper."

"You're welcome, if you need anything, just call Yingzi, we live next door. Well, it's getting late, let's have a rest early."

Lin Qingdai and Yingzi went out.

Du Wenhao was very strange, this was the first time he really lived in an ancient family, it was a world of difference compared to staying in an inn last night.Lying on the bed on my back, smelling the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, I felt very warm in my heart.Suddenly hearing the sound of small footsteps at the door, he hurriedly got up and sat on the side of the bed.

It turned out that Yingzi came in, carrying a wooden bucket, which was steaming, and smiled at Du Wenhao, walked to the corner of the room, took down the wooden basin for washing, and when it was half filled with water, he turned around and said, "Dr. , please wash up. Is there a face towel? If not, I will get it."

"Yes." Du Wenhao hurriedly said, he can use the towel that Xue Feier gave this morning.

"Well, the wooden basin under the washstand is a foot basin. Ask me to pour water after washing."

"Thank you Yingzi girl!"

"Hee hee, I'm a little maid, you don't need to be polite, just call me Yingzi."

Yingzi went out and gently closed the door.

After Du Wenhao washed his face with the fragrant towel Xue Feier gave him, he poured water for washing his feet, brought it to the desk, and sat on a chair to wash his feet.

The water is a little hot, waiting for the water to cool, nothing to do, shaking his head and looking around curiously, and took a book from the shelf.

The book was very thick, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bookcase resembling a thick file folder, with a slipknot tied on one side with a thin thread.

Gently loosen the slipknot, unfold the bookcase, and there are several books neatly stacked inside, with a light blue cover, and a few words "General Rescue from Miraculous Doctors" are printed on the cover.

Du Wenhao was surprised and delighted.

He knew that this book was a collection of prescriptions compiled by Emperor Song Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty to collect and sort out thousands of medical books, with a total of [-] volumes.

However, due to too many volumes, it was lost later.

Didn't expect to see it here now.

This is a treasure. This book includes all kinds of prescriptions from the past dynasties before the early Northern Song Dynasty.

He didn't care about washing his feet, he pulled his shoes and stood in front of the bookshelf, happily flipping through them to see what other precious books there were.

Most of the two rows of bookshelves are full of various medical techniques, most of which are brand new printed editions.

This "Miracle Physician's General Rescue Prescription" occupies three grids, and there is no shortage of one in a thousand volumes. After all, it has only been a few decades since the book was written, and there has been no major war that has spread to the whole country. This book is also an engraved version. , should be available in the general market, so it has not been lost at this time.

He continued to browse, and found "Taiping Shenghuifang" on the bookshelf.

This book was compiled collectively by Wang Huaiyin and others under the order of Song Taizong. It has a total of [-] volumes and contains more than [-] prescriptions. It is a medical book with a complete system of principles, methods, prescriptions, and medicines.

In addition, I also found "Kaibao New Detailed Materia Medica", "Kaibao Chongding Materia Medica", "Jiayou Supplementary Notes on Shennong Materia Medica", "Huangdi Neijing Suwen", "New School Prescriptions for Emergencies", etc., Most of them are medical books that have been lost in modern times.

The Northern Song Dynasty paid great attention to the collation and compilation of medical books. Soon after the founding of the country, it ordered the collection and acquisition of medical books for collation and revision.

In the second year of Jiayou, Song Renzong adopted the suggestion of Han Qi, the privy envoy, and gathered a group of famous doctors to correct the important medical books of the past. The place was revised, the reason for the revision, and then I asked the emperor to read it in person.

After the emperor reviewed and approved it, it was handed over to the Guozijian for engraving and publishing.

Therefore, there are so many medical skills in the Northern Song Dynasty that even the study of the small pharmacy in shopkeeper Lin's house can be filled with two shelves of medical books.

However, having medical books and understanding medical skills are completely different things. No matter how many medical books there are, without knowing medical skills, it is useless.

Du Wenhao also found a copy of "Ou Xiangfan's Five Viscera Map" on the bookshelf, which is also a lost medical book in modern times.

During the Qingli period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the Guangxi local government executed 56 rebels and dissected the chest and abdomen of the deceased. Yizhou Tuiguan Wu Jian, a doctor and a painter carefully observed the internal organs of these corpses, and the painter Song Jing described them. Compiled this anatomy monograph.

The knowledge of human anatomy in this book, in the view of Du Wenhao, a modern traveler from the Modern Medical University who has studied anatomy systematically, is full of errors, but at that time, it was at the leading level in the world.

Du Wenhao took a copy of "General Rescue from Miraculous Doctors", sat back on the chair, read it with great interest, and even forgot to wash his feet. He didn't remember until Yingzi knocked on the door and asked him if he had finished washing.

After washing her feet in a hurry, Yingzi took out the water.

Du Wenhao bolted the door, put a round stool beside the bed, took the lantern from the desk and put it beside the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked carefully.

After she calmed down, she vaguely heard voices from next door, it was Lin Qingdai and the maid Yingzi who were talking.

He didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but the other side of the wall against which his bed was located was Lin Qingdai's bedroom, so he didn't want to listen.

Fortunately, the conversation next door was very soft and inaudible, but it didn't affect his reading.

After watching for a while, I suddenly heard my name vaguely mentioned by the two girls next door, my heart moved, I sat up and listened attentively, but I couldn't hear clearly, so I simply put my ear against the wall, and now I can hear it more clearly.

I only heard Yingzi whisper: "Ma'am, why do you pay Dr. Du such a high monthly salary? Stupid and they only pay three hundred Wen a month. Besides, although the stories he told are good, who knows what he said?" Are those concocting methods true? Doctor Ling used to rely on his mouth to make a living, don't be fooled by him!"

Lin Qingdai's voice was also very low: "He is different from those quack doctors, he treated the child's boils last night, and the techniques and medicines he used are very different from those of ordinary doctors.

What's more, he directly operated to induce pus, which is something ordinary doctors dare not do. In the past, our former doctor Chai, who was sitting in the hall, did not dare to operate to induce pus casually, so I was also very worried. I saw it, unexpectedly, the boil on the child's buttocks healed well, and there was no suppuration at all!It's amazing. "

"Treatment of boils is exactly Doctor Ling's food guy. Of course he has some skills. Besides, don't we want to invite famous doctors here? Isn't famous doctors also have this skill."

"On this matter alone, of course I would not make this decision."

"Then what else?" Yingzi wondered.

"Have you noticed? What he said when he said that the medicinal materials were concocted?"

"I noticed it, it's very interesting, I don't know if it's true."

"You don't know much about medicinal materials, so you can't hear Mingtang. Think about the methods of concocting medicinal materials he said. Many of them are very reasonable."

"Yes?"

"Yeah!" Lin Qingdai paused, and then said in a low voice: "According to my opinion, his ability is probably more than that!"
