Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 70 Finding the Cause
A group of people went to the restaurant, and the idlers who were watching the excitement on the street also dispersed, but there were still more than a dozen people who were particularly idle and loved to watch the excitement, and they followed into the restaurant all the way.

After going up to the restaurant and entering the private room, Wang Ping'an turned his head, okay, there was a group of people behind him, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, if this matter has nothing to do with you, then please stop and don't come in, although this room It's not small, but if there are too many people, it won't be able to hold it, you say yes!"

It's easy to talk and discuss, and the idlers are not unreasonable. Hearing his polite words, they all nodded and didn't enter the private room, but they all squeezed outside and looked in through the open door.

Apart from Zhao Bi, Lu Xiuzhi and the two little girls, Cheng Zhoutong, who was carrying the child, and the old man in official robes, Gou Xiu also followed in, and there was also a young man who seemed not very old. , only slightly older than Wang Ping'an, the young man called the old man in official robes Daddy, he seemed to be his son, but Wang Ping'an didn't know the relationship between these two people.

As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Zhoutong said: "Wang Sheng, what do you want to ask, ask quickly, how to treat this child's illness, you have to come up with a charter!"

Wang Pingan said: "Mr. Cheng, don't panic, take your time, you have to figure out things one by one, so that you can prescribe medicine and cure the disease." After he sat down, he beckoned the child to come over, looked at the child's face, and used Asked in a gentle tone: "Good boy, tell uncle, what have you eaten today, and what is there that you haven't eaten?"

The child's neck was also swollen, and he wanted to shake his head, but he felt uncomfortable, so he could only whisper softly: "I have nothing to eat, Grandpa Chang doesn't allow me to eat!"

The old man in the official robe hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, this child has been unwell since last night, we didn't care about it at first, we thought it was because he changed to a new place to sleep, who would have woken up this morning?" , It became like this, how dare the old man let him eat, if the illness becomes serious, we can't stand it!"

Wang Pingan snorted, looked up at the old man in the official robe, and asked, "My lord, you said that this child has been unwell since last night? Why did you change to a new place to sleep? Are you his grandfather?" Since this The child is Cheng Zhoutong's grandson, and the old man is so concerned about it, so Wang Ping'an asked this question.

"This old man is not his grandfather!" The old man in official robes sighed and told what happened.

It turned out that the old man's name was Chang Qingfeng, and he was a civil servant who worked in the Governor's Mansion. Because his youngest son was going to get married today, he borrowed his little grandson from his old friend Cheng Zhoutong yesterday, hoping to make this The child presses the bed for the couple and sleeps in the new bed for one night. This is a folk custom. Find a boy the night before the wedding and roll a few times on the new bed, so the couple will have a baby early. There is a folk saying.

Cheng Zhoutong nodded beside him. He originally planned to go to his old friend's house for a wedding after noon. Unexpectedly, before noon, Chang Qingfeng sent someone to inform him that something happened to his grandson, so he ran away When I arrived at Chang's house, I saw that my little grandson had turned into this appearance!
Wang Pingan said: "So that's what happened. Since it's a wedding, Mr. Chang must have prepared a lot of delicious food at home. Before the child got sick, did you give him anything? Please recall carefully, Mo What are you missing?"

Chang Qingfeng thought for a while, and said: "The child ate dinner at the old man's house. Others don't eat much. They ate steamed eggs with honey and a few meatballs. By the way, I drank some after dinner." Some jujube water."

Wang Pingan hummed a few times, thinking: "Honey, eggs, meatballs, candied dates, which one should it be?" He asked again: "Is there any seasoning mixed with the meatballs?"

Chang Qingfeng said: "I didn't put anything, but I put salt, eggs, and minced ginger... By the way, I also put some good stuff, it's pepper bought from a pepper merchant!"

Cheng Zhoutong shouted suddenly: "Could it be that the disease is caused by eating pepper? Oh, Brother Chang, you are so confused, there is no such thing as something interesting, and how can you eat it indiscriminately!"

Chang Qingfeng said with a bitter face: "How did I know that I would get sick if I ate that thing!"

Wang Pingan frowned. It is recorded in "Tang Materia Medica" that pepper controls Qi, warms the middle, removes phlegm, and removes wind and cold in the viscera. Although "Tang Materia Medica" hadn't been written yet, it was only ten years away from now. Since it can be recorded in medical books, it means that people in Tang Dynasty already knew a lot about pepper. Could it be that they are allergic to pepper?But the symptoms don't look like it.

Chang Qingfeng's son suddenly interjected: "This kid also ate some dates and longan, but they are all dry products, and you can't buy fresh ones at this time of year!"

He is the most depressing person in this room. He was going to get married today, but before he went out to pick up the bride, something like this happened. I can't get married, crying on this side, and worshiping on the other side, it's not ridiculous, it's like this on the first day of marriage, and I can't live in the future!Now that the auspicious time has passed, it seems that the marriage has to be arranged at another time, how can he not be depressed!

Wang Pingan looked at the child and was speechless for a long while. The child is not very big. How can he eat such a small amount? He even ate so many things in one meal. It is hard to judge what kind of food it is!
At this time, I heard a yell from outside the door, "Guest officer, pay attention, turn around slowly, and be careful to rub the oil!" With a yell, the waiter entered the room, holding a tray in his hand, and brought some dishes.These few dishes are delicious in color and fragrance, and they are delicacies carefully prepared by the master chefs in the restaurant, which cannot be eaten by casual guests!
As soon as the dishes were served, Wang Ping'an found that the child was looking at the dishes on the table eagerly, and even swallowed, obviously he wanted to eat.Wang Pingan was taken aback, thinking: "This kid still has an appetite?" He asked: "Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, just eat!"

The child looked back at Cheng Zhoutong, and Cheng Zhoutong looked at Wang Ping'an again. Seeing Wang Ping'an nodding slightly, he said, "Then you can eat, don't eat too fast!"

The child was young, he would eat when he was hungry, and cry when he was sad. He was not yet at the age of learning to hide his emotions. Seeing his grandfather's consent, he stretched out his little hand, grabbed a chicken tenderloin and ate it.

Everyone present was surprised to see that the child's head was so swollen that he still had an appetite to eat. What kind of disease is this?Zhao Bi snorted and looked at Lu Xiuzhi. The two dudes looked at each other and smiled with disdain on their faces.

Wang Pingan saw that the child was eating with his hands, so he hurriedly asked: "Master Chang, is it because the utensils used by the child when eating at your house are unclean?"

Chang Qingfeng immediately shook his head and said: "How is this possible? The old man's son got married, everything from the house furniture to the bedding and cooking utensils is new, even the toilet is new, how could it be unclean!"

Wang Pingan sighed, stood up and said, "I can't deduce anything from here. If Mr. Chang doesn't mind, can I go to your house to see?"

Chang Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Chengcheng, my husband's house is not far from here, just cross the street, and the little doctor of Ping'an will follow me!"

Wang Pingan signaled not to let the child eat anymore, Cheng Zhoutong picked him up, and everyone left the private room together.In such a short time, there were many more people watching the excitement outside. Seeing Wang Pingan coming out, they immediately followed and followed out of the restaurant.

Chang Qingfeng's house is not far from here, just cross the street and turn a corner.At this time, the Chang family was in a mess. The Chang family was explaining to the natal family who came to question, and the guests and friends who came to congratulate were also standing in the courtyard, talking a lot.

Chang Qingfeng accompanied Wang Pingan into the compound, and explained to the family who came up to question him, that he was not in the mood to care about the marriage now, and he had to heal his old friend's grandson quickly, or he would not be able to explain it!He directly led Wang Pingan into the kitchen.

Since there was no banquet and the ingredients in the kitchen were not moved, Wang Pingan went around and found nothing that needed special attention, so he asked Chang Qingfeng to lead him to the new house.A large group of onlookers followed behind his buttocks. Counting the guests and friends in the courtyard, there were hundreds of people following him around, and the courtyard was almost overwhelmed.

The new house is located in a small independent courtyard. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see that the yard is very tidy and the roof tiles are brand new. It really is a newly built house. When you enter the house and look at the furniture, it is all painted and shiny, and it is still floating in the air. There is a smell of raw lacquer, and it is indeed new furniture.Looking at the bed again, the red bedding is embroidered with mandarin ducks, which is very festive.

Wang Pingan inhaled, exhaled slowly, turned around, and asked Chang Qingfeng: "The child was still fine after eating, but he fell ill in the middle of the night after sleeping on this bed in this room, right? ?”

Chang Qingfeng nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, that's exactly the case, what the Ping An little genius doctor said is not bad at all!"

Wang Pingan touched the shiny wooden bed and said with a smile, "Okay, the cause has been found!"
