Brocade legend

Chapter 23 Young Li Shizhen

After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, several people chatted about Shitou's brain disease.

Lu Bing asked Li Yanwen, "I don't know what Li Taiyi plans to do?"

Li Yanwen was silent for a while, then said: "To be honest, I don't have any clue yet, I think we need to observe more before making a decision."

Lu Bing noticed the expression between Li Shizhen's eyebrows, which seemed eager to try, and asked: "I heard that Li Xiandi seems to have some clues, why don't you tell me, as a reference?"

Hearing this, Li Yanwen was afraid that his son would say unreliable words because he was young and energetic, so he hurriedly stopped him: "What do children know, I dare not talk nonsense."

"Heroes come out of youth!" Lu Bing was already in a state of intoxication at this time, and said wantonly: "The current emperor was only 15 years old when he entered Beijing, and officially became the throne at 16 years old. When he first entered Beijing, there were many people who bullied and despised him wantonly, but now he rules the world. Shocking all the officials, apart from Hongwu and Emperor Yongle in this dynasty, who other ancestors can stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
Hearing that Lu Bing spoke so boldly and commented on the emperor, Li Yan couldn't help sweating, wishing to plug his ears, and at the same time, he felt more deeply the deep emotion between the lord and the emperor.

Compared with her father's timidity, Li Shizhen's blood was so excited by the sentence "A hero is a boy!" Seeing that her father didn't have the energy to control herself at this time, she let go of her courage and said, "I think this big brother Shi's brain disease still has some cures." of."

Lu Bing laughed loudly and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Li Shizhen also drank a few cups, and her drinking capacity was relatively light. At this time, she was incited by Lu Bing's attitude, her face flushed, and she said loudly: "My country is vast and rich in resources, and there are all kinds of miraculous medicines. Did the doctor find it! For brain diseases, there are naturally corresponding medicines, such as Shichangpu, also known as Yangchunxue, water centipede, etc., which are only common medicinal materials, but their corresponding diseases are very wide. , refreshes the mind and improves intelligence. It is used for abdominal pain without hunger, dysentery, coma, epilepsy, and forgetful deafness. Regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, dispersing wind, and removing dampness. Treating epilepsy, phlegm, coma due to febrile disease, forgetfulness, and deafness due to air-occlusion , chest distress, stomach pain, abdominal pain, anemofrigid-damp arthralgia, carbuncle, swollen poison, bruises, etc. all have certain effects, among which the effects of resuscitating phlegm, refreshing the mind, coma, epilepsy, forgetfulness and deafness are exactly corresponding Crazy."

Li Shizhen started talking, took a sip of wine, and continued: "Not only calamus, but also many other medicinal materials have similar effects, such as musk, which also has the effect of awakening the mind, children with convulsions, hearing and eyesight, calming the mind and calming the mind. "

Li Yanwen had already calmed down at this time. Hearing what his son said was logical, he thought about it, but he didn't stop him any more. He quietly watched his son beaming and listened to his son's high-spirited talk.

"At the same time, my doctor also has the method of acupuncture and moxibustion, supplemented by medicinal stones. I think that even if Brother Shitou cannot be cured, it will be improved." Li Shizhen said here, seeing his father looking at him, he couldn't help swallowing, and ended by the way spoke.

"Okay!" Lu Bing applauded loudly: "It's no loss that it's learned from the family. Mr. Li is so proficient in pharmacology at such a young age, Lu admires it!"

After Lu Bing finished speaking, he turned to Li Yanwen and asked, "I wonder what Imperial Physician Li thinks Mr. Ling said?"

Li Yanwen hesitated for a while, but still nodded, and said calmly: "There is some truth to what you said, I will go back and think about it carefully, first come up with a medical case and try it."

Hearing her father's words of approval, Li Shizhen was even more excited, looking at her father excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

Lu Bing yelled, called Lu An, and changed to a new seat, and they drank a few more rounds while enjoying themselves.

After drinking, Lu Bing, who was slightly drunk, sent Li and his son to the carriage, then went back to drink with Dong Hai and Shitou, and had nothing to say all night.

On the carriage, Li Shizhen was still in a state of excitement, but Li Yanwen just looked at his son indifferently, and didn't stop drinking.Shizhen has been calm since she was a child, and her family education is also strict. He has been in the capital for many years, and he has been separated from his son for many years. He has never seen his son behave like this, let alone his son who is so charming. Thinking about it now, there is something in his heart. Slightly guilty, it seems that his son really likes medicine.

But then I thought again, if Li Shizhen really practiced medicine, wouldn't the examination of being a scholar be in vain?Everything is low-grade, only high-level reading, can't become a scholar, can't become an official in the court, how to get ahead, how to change the status of the Li family, how to honor the ancestors?
But seeing that his son likes medicine so much, he wants to force his son to abandon medicine and pursue literature, and he feels a dull pain in his heart.

Li Shizhen didn't know his father's inner struggle at this time. He slowly calmed down. After a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked his father: "Father took the pulse and felt that Mrs. Lu's heart rhythm was irregular. Have heartache?"

Hearing Li Shizhen's question, Li Yan sighed inwardly, his son is still more interested in medical knowledge. .

Although Li Yanwen couldn't calm down in his heart, he still explained gently: "There are heartaches in the world, which are congenital heart insufficiencies. This disease will be passed on from father to son, mother to daughter, and passed down from generation to generation. Whenever there is great joy or great sorrow, it will definitely attack. There is no cure for seizures. I checked my father’s pulse and found that my wife’s heartbeat was irregular, so I suspected heartache. If you suffer from this disease, you must not conceive and give birth! Otherwise, you will definitely die! But since the wife does not have heartache symptoms on weekdays, her ancestors also If nothing happens, it won’t be a heartache.”

Li Shizhen asked again: "Will there be any accidents? Is there any heartache in the world that doesn't usually appear? Or did the heartache start from Madam's generation?"

Li Yanwen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I checked my father's pulse, I found that my wife's muscles were stiff. This is caused by tension, and tension can also cause irregular heartbeat, so I concluded that my wife is not suffering from heartache."

Only then did Li Shizhen feel relieved, and said, "My son understands."

It was getting late at night, and the carriage gradually drove farther and farther away. From a distance, I could hear Li Yanwen's voice admonishing his son: "You should read more classics and history, and take the exam well. In the future, if you become an official in the court, our Li family can also have a good reputation." In her early days, she will no longer be bullied because of her identity as a medical craftsman..."
