Song Yi

Chapter 17
Yingzi asked in surprise, "Huh? What else does he have?"

Lin Qingdai pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "He mentioned several herbs, all of which we have never heard of."

"Really? Yingzi doesn't know much about the medicinal materials."

"You don't understand medicinal materials, but you always understand flowers, right? He mentioned rose flowers, remember?"

"Rose flowers?" Yingzi thought for a while, and said happily: "I remembered, he said, it seems that rose flowers can also be used as medicine."

"Yes! He said stewed rooster with rose flowers can treat menstrual pain. Rose flowers are used as medicine, have you heard of them before?"

Yingzi thought for a while: "I haven't heard of it."

"Yeah, I haven't heard that rose flowers can also be used as medicine."

"Maybe it's the local recipe of their doctor Ling, it's nothing."

"It doesn't look like it," Lin Qingdai said in a low voice, "Because when he mentioned this medicine, he said it casually. It seems that this medicine is often used in prescriptions, but I have never seen a doctor who used rose flowers as medicine. Yes."

Hearing this, Du Wenhao's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered that the use of rose flowers as medicine was first recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had not yet realized the medicinal properties of rose flowers, so it was no wonder that it attracted Lin Qingdai's attention.This female shopkeeper's eyes are piercing, and she has insight into every detail.

"This person travels all over the world, and perhaps the folk prescriptions he got from other places are unknown."

"Well, besides, he also talked about a kind of medicine. It's called..., what is it called corn silk, and it is said that it can cure women's breast swelling and swelling. Do you know what this corn is?"

"I don't know, maybe it's another name for the medicinal material."

"No! The original words he said were 'Corn in crop fields can also be used as medicine, such as corn silk...', I remember very clearly. According to his words, this corn should not only be a medicinal material, but also a kind of crop. You Have you ever heard of a crop called corn?"

When Du Wenhao heard this, he also remembered that corn was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no corn in the Song Dynasty.No wonder they couldn't understand.It seems that in the future, you have to be careful when you speak, don't run the train with your mouth full, say something modern, and it will be troublesome for people to be treated as monsters.

He also heard Yingzi say: "Perhaps it is also another name they have for a certain crop. He deliberately said some other names to show his ability."

Lin Qingdai lowered her voice, and said word by word: "He is not playing tricks to show off his skills, but it is very likely that he really has skills!"

"is it?"

"Hmm! Didn't you hear that Xue Fei'er came back in the morning and said that Lieutenant Pang's second grandmother was terminally ill. Dr. Qian and the famous doctors in Fucheng were helpless, saying that the second grandmother could not make it through today, and asked them to prepare for the funeral. Doctor Du took over For treatment, he prescribed a large dose of prescription and poured it down. Dr. Qian and the others said that the second grandmother of Pang County Wei could not survive today, but now, it is already three o'clock, and there is no cry from the inn, which means that people It’s all right! If he can survive until tomorrow, it means that the patient can still be saved. As long as his life has been delayed for a day, what is his ability? Why don’t such capable people stay earlier and wait for others to snatch them away?”

"He hasn't been cured yet. What does it mean if it's delayed for a day? Who knows if it can be cured. When he really has the ability to be cured, wouldn't it be safer for us to hire him again?"

"You silly girl, adding icing on the cake is worse than sending charcoal in the snow. You don't understand this truth? When he saves Pang Xianwei's second wife, won't he be famous? At that time, you begged others, It doesn’t matter how much money you give to others. We have to treat him well, respect him, and sincerely hire him as a master to stay in our shop when he is down and down. He will be grateful and become famous in the future. , if we hire him to stay with a lot of money, he won't refuse."

"Oh, I understand. However, if he really becomes famous, Ji Shitang's people hire him to sit in the hall at a high price. We can't compare with Ji Shitang's financial resources. At that time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't run away because of the money."

"No, it can be seen from the doctor's visit to that child last night. He has a good heart and a conscience."

"Then why didn't Madam simply hire him as the sitting doctor?"

"Don't worry, as long as he agrees to stay in the hall, the future will be easy."

"Oh, I see. Madam's move is really clever. Even if he is not very good at curing diseases, at least he really knows how to concoct medicinal materials, so hiring him as a master concocter can't be wrong. If he really has If you can treat diseases, you can also hire him as a sitting doctor. This is called attacking when advancing, and defending when retreating, right? Hee hee"

"What is it? Do you think marching and fighting? I really like him. Come on, it's getting late, go to bed!"

Hearing this, Du Wenhao hurriedly lay back on the bed, as if he would be caught eavesdropping later.Hearing what their master and servant said, Du Wenhao felt somewhat proud of being valued, and also felt a little bit of admiration for the shrewdness of shopkeeper Lin.

After thinking for a while, I continued to read the medical book, but what happened just now kept lingering in my mind, and I couldn’t calm down to study for a while, and it was getting late at night, so I simply closed the medical book, took off my hat, took off my robe, and blew out the lantern to sleep .

Lying on the bed, I didn’t feel sleepy for a while, and felt that the curtain was very stuffy. It’s late autumn, the sky is already cold, and there are frosts at night. There are no mosquitoes, so there is no need to hang this curtain He couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply got up, took off the curtains on the bed, and put them in the chair in front of the desk, ready for Yingzi to take them away tomorrow.

Without the curtains, I felt much more awake. I lay on the bed, took a deep breath, and felt very comfortable.

Suddenly I heard Yingzi ask in the bed next door, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Lin Qingdai said: "I can't sleep, I'm thinking about the disease that I can't sleep during the day. The patient is really strange. He has suffered from insomnia for five years, and he can only sleep for half an hour every night every year. The pain is unbearable. Medicine, but it didn't work. I'm only 40 years old, and my whole hair is going gray."

"Should I ask Mr. Du tomorrow. Didn't you say that he is very skilled in medicine?"

"It's probably useless to ask him. This man's illness is very strange. This patient's pulse is turbid and slippery. It's liver stagnation turning into fire, gallbladder and stomach not descending, which makes people afraid of cold in winter, and the inner fire is covered with a layer of cold air .

The problem now is to aggravate his cold with medicines that relieve stagnation and clear fire.If he wanted to get rid of the cold, it would aggravate his dysphoria, which was really a dilemma.The doctor told me, and I also found it very difficult.Now that I can't sleep, I think of this disease. "

Du Wenhao heard it clearly, and said in a clear voice: "The case of an insomnia recorded in this book, I thought about it carefully, is because the stagnant fire in the liver is wrapped by the external cold. Bondage goes with the flow.

Use wind medicine to make his five internal organs unobstructed by expelling wind and cold, so that people can be peaceful.

When the turbid pulse is no longer there, it means that its heat goes down, and the heat of the heart and lungs goes down along with the large and small intestines.

Then it is necessary to expel it with medicine, because the intestinal tract is still a little stagnant at this time, it is necessary to use medicine to clear away heat and medicine to clear the intestines and eliminate turbidity, so as to give the evil a way out.

Medicines for lowering turbidity can be Pinellia, Prunella vulgaris, Hempseed, Jiyidae, and Button Seven.The medicine for dispelling the cold can use the bark of Albizia Julibrissin, Teng Yejiao, and Suanzaoren.

The medicinal Chuanxiong and Asarum along its nature.It can excrete the intestinal stasis.Give evil spirits a way out, draw the bottom out of the pot, and dig out the root of the disease directly.

This allows the patient to sleep peacefully. "

After Du Wenhao said that there was no movement next door, he felt a little presumptuous. Does this mean that he was eavesdropping on others, so he quickly covered up and said: "It is interesting to record this disease in the book. Let me see what other people are talking about. of."

It seemed that he was reading a medical book, and he was feeling emotional when he saw something, so he didn't listen to what the neighbor was talking about.

But after he finished speaking, the next door seemed to hear his worry, and Lin Qingdai hurriedly said: "Thank you for your guidance, sir. The outsourcing of stagnant fire and severe cold, such a disease cannot use the conventional thinking of reducing turbidity. We must go with the flow It is necessary to open the skin and hair openings to let the cold evil disperse. Because after the cold evil is extroverted, the body will no longer be in a state of active tension, and the body will naturally be stable and able to sleep. Otherwise, there will be cold evil outside the evil fire, and the evil If the fire goes away and the cold remains, the insomnia of the patient is naturally difficult to be cured. It really is a wonderful prescription."

Hearing that he had explained it to the point, Du Wenhao smiled and said, "If there is anything unclear, let's discuss it tomorrow."

Then there was no sound.

After sleeping for a while, Du Wenhao always felt uneasy, so he decided to hang up the curtain.

He got up again, hung the curtain back up again, and then he felt at ease, lay back on the bed, and slept with his eyes closed.He was very tired, and despite the many adventures and excitement of the day, he quickly fell asleep.
