Chapter 21 Things in the Imperial City 3
Yuqing swatted away the senior brother who had ulterior motives with just one sentence, and focused on wiping the face of the unconscious patient and arranging his clothes while watching everyone start talking in confusion.
"Does this girl know how to heal people? Is she washing the patient's face or is she treating her well?"
"The fate of the old imperial doctor, alas, if a disciple adds insult to injury, and if a disciple doesn't know the depth, the old imperial doctor is afraid that something will happen to him."
"The guy inside is really stingy. It's been more than 20 years, and he's trying to discipline people in a different way."
"The old imperial doctor is too upright. It's better to be an ordinary person."
"Hey, look, that person seems to be awake." Someone screamed, and everyone looked at the patient and Yuqing, who had stopped.
The unconscious patient really opened his eyes, looked at the little girl squatting in front of him in confusion, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did I fall on the street, girl, who are you?"
"Uncle, why are you lying here and not remembering it?"
"I don't remember. I just remember that I drank the medicine from this pharmacy in the morning and my illness improved a lot. I thought I would lie down and rest for a day. When I opened my eyes, I saw the girl. What's wrong with me?"
"Master, you are confused because of your illness. You only became ill again after taking the medicinal soup prepared from the herbs collected from this pharmacy. The old imperial doctor is a liar with no ability." At this moment, a woman appeared.
People squeezed into the crowd and cried, wiping away tears and shouting.
"Honey, no, I went back to the room and lay down by myself. Before lying down, I drank a few sips of the tea you poured for me. Where did you buy that tea? It's really delicious." The patient said and thought.
When he tried to stand up, his legs became weak and he fell down again. As a result, he covered his head and screamed.
"It hurts so much. Why is there a big bump on my head?"
"Dad, it was my mother who beat me, and then I and Uncle Wang next door carried you here. My brother secretly drank the tea that my mother brought for you, and you are still suffering from diarrhea." At this time, a little girl of five or six years old ran over and cried.
He said chirpingly.
"Damn girl, what are you talking about? Go home and watch your brother." The woman scolded the child, and the little girl burst into tears. The onlookers almost understood that this was a blackmail.
.
"You damn bitch, you are murdering your husband. If there is anything wrong with my son, I will divorce you."
"Oh, isn't this blackmail? It even harmed your own son." An old woman said disdainfully.
"It's none of your business! Boss, who murdered you? You just saw me as a yellow-faced woman and wanted to divorce me. Now that there are more little widows, you want to find another one. The little shopkeeper said that you just put people to sleep.
Medicine..." The woman looked at the senior brother with red head and white face and said.
"You haven't understood yet. This is a conspiracy to despise someone and get in the way." The old woman said again.
"You bitch, those are auxiliary pills to enhance the efficacy. Master, little junior sister, don't listen to her. Master, you also have such medical instructions on every prescription. These unscrupulous people are trying to blackmail us and turn against us.
"The senior brother hurriedly distinguished.
"What kind of pills are you giving me?" the woman yelled.
"Shut up! Have you had enough trouble? This is my master's pharmacy, not your backyard. Uncle, I just checked your pulse. You had symptoms of dampness and cold before, and you took the prescription prescribed by my master.
The medicine is already very effective. One of the reasons why you are unconscious is due to external force and the other is that you were poisoned. Just now, I didn’t wipe your face and tidy up your clothes, but woke you up by stimulating your acupuncture points. I don’t care about your messy accounts, I
The master is a master of royal medicine, and as a disciple, I cannot allow anyone to ruin the reputation of the master and destroy his sign."
"Well said! Apprentice, is his poison serious?"
"Master, it's very serious. If we don't wake him up in time, he will probably sleep for a long time and die in his sleep."
"Old imperial doctor, your eyes are not good anymore. Everyone can see that he was letting out too much air and not taking in enough air just now. Ouch, what is all this?"
"Ms. Langzhong, help me. My son is less than 10 years old, and I still have elderly parents."
"Uncle, of course I will save you. It's not because of how miserable your life is, but because I want to clear up the name of my master and the name of his pharmacy. Uncles and uncles, life is not easy for anyone. People can be greedy but not bad.
I have a clear conscience. Uncle, the big bump on the back of your head went home and rested for two days, and the swelling gradually subsided. Now I will give you acupuncture and detoxification to remove the toxins from your body, and you can walk home.
" Yuqing said, taking out the needle pack in her arms, looking for acupuncture points through her clothes, and five or six needles were immediately inserted into the patient's chest. The luster of the silver needles shone brightly in the midday sun.
"Who is kind enough to help me help my uncle sit up?" After finishing the chest piercing, Yu Qing asked while looking at the people watching the excitement.
"I'm here to help the young doctor. I often come to this pharmacy to get medicine and treat illnesses. I originally thought that the young shopkeeper's medical skills were superb, but today I found out that they were all prescriptions left by the old imperial doctor." An old woman walked up.
He helped lift the patient up in front of him.
Yuqing also pricked a few needles into the patient's back, and then pricked one of the patient's fingers. Soon a few drops of black blood flowed out from the patient's fingertips, and dripped onto the bed prepared by Yuqing.
Although there were only a few drops of black blood on the white silk handkerchief, the fishy smell emitted stifled those who were close.
"The poisonous blood has been discharged, but it smells like a latrine." The old woman who helped Yuqing covered her mouth and nose and said.
"We also smelled it. He was really vicious. He killed his husband and his son in order to extort a few dollars from someone." A thoughtful person in the crowd said something. Yuqing didn't look up, but she remembered the voice.
As the poisonous blood flowed out from the patient's fingertips, Yuqing also took away the silver needles on the patient's chest and back. The patient stood up, rubbed the back of his head with one hand, and walked towards his mother-in-law.
"Dad, please don't hit your mother. My brother is still having diarrhea at home." The little girl cried, looking at the woman who had already run away.
Most of the people watching the excitement in front of the drug store had dispersed. Only the old door panel was left, witnessing the farce that had just happened in front of the drug store.
"Come in and talk to me." The old doctor seemed to have aged several years in an instant, looking at the so-called senior brother and said.
"Master, I am giving the medicine according to your doctor's orders. The efficacy of pills and medicine will be the same."
"Don't call me master. There is no real relationship between you and me. You are just the medicine boy next to me. My doctor's orders include auxiliary medicines. That is only after the patient sees the effect and does not change the medicine."
Under the premise of auxiliary treatment. But according to what the old woman said just now, you should deliver medicine to my door, right? You deliberately want to harm me. The villa and the imperial city are far away, so I will leave the medicine shop to you. I
Looking at the layout of this pharmacy, have you already begun to sit in the hall to diagnose patients? Do you have the ability?"
"Old man, you are blaming me. Have you forgotten what happened back then? Without me as a little medicine boy, you wouldn't have been kicked out of the palace by someone."
"Shut up, you took part of the responsibility back then, but it wasn't for me, it was to cover up the scandal of your collusion with the palace maid. I didn't say it because I thought of you as a medicine boy by my side for several years.
.You followed me out of the palace. I also saw that you could only pick up medicine and had no other skills. So I invested the capital to open this medicine shop and left all my medicine prescriptions to you. If you follow the rules, this medicine shop will also be called
You live a very good life. I rarely come to the drug store to do accounts. I take as much money as you make every year. Haven't I done enough? Why do you want to frame me."
"Old man, when I followed you out of the palace, I wanted to learn medical skills from you instead of working for you. The reason why you don't come here to do the accounting is not because you trust me, but because you are afraid that the person in the palace will find me.
It's your trouble. I send you money every year because of our friendship. I manage this pharmacy through rain and wind, and I am the shopkeeper here." The elder brother contradicted the old man one by one.
Doctor, Yuqing couldn't listen anymore.
"That ungrateful thing, my master turned a blind eye and tolerated you taking the money that should have been his. It's just that you don't know how to be grateful, and you even conspired with outsiders to frame the master. You have such a character.
You are not worthy of learning medical skills."
"Bad girl, when I wanted to recognize him as my master, he used the excuse that he would never accept another apprentice in his life. In the villa, he accepted two apprentices, and I turned a blind eye and accepted him.
Every penny I earned from running this drug store for him was my hard work. Unexpectedly, those two died, and he recognized you as a closed disciple. He also took you to Yanwai Castle, so what about me?
Who is your little medicine boy?"
"Evil!" the old man cursed, his beard trembling in anger.
"Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it for such an ungrateful person. After saying this, I heard something. It's not because the master accepted me as a closed disciple, it's because the master took me to Yanwai Castle. It turns out that you accepted me as a closed disciple.
You could turn a blind eye to the two apprentices that the master accepted, but you can't tolerate them when they come to my lady. The root cause is Yanwai Castle."
"You're right, the new emperor doesn't want to see you there. You still go there to show off your medical skills. I have never benefited from this old man in the slightest. Do I still have to suffer from you? To tell you the truth, if you go to Yanwai Castle
Many people are curious about who I treated and what kind of disease I treated."
"Tell me clearly, who are these people?" the old doctor asked hurriedly after finally hearing the secret.
"Master, who cares who he is? Our medical skills as doctors are the ability to make a living, and making money by treating people is just like doing business. But you, an ungrateful villain, want to harm people behind your back after ignoring the master's money.
. Even if you are praised for being a villain, you are a scumbag.”
"Who is a scumbag, and what is a scumbag? You old man and this stinky girl like you, just wait for the disaster to come. I don't care about the shabby drugstore. Who will take our things and leave?
It's gone." That senior brother became angry and called the only medicine clerk in the drug store, picked up two large packages and left. It was obvious that they had planned this.
"You bastard, leave me my prescription." The old doctor shouted at the two people who walked out of the door.
"Forget it, master, let him go. Our doctor's medical skills can only save people, but they can't save lives. When people from Yanwai Castle come to our door, do we dare to say we won't go? It's just the golden needle crossing the acupoint that cured the old castle owner.
I don’t know whether the effect of healing the broken leg will be good or not. It’s like opening a business, who can’t make money?” Looking at the angry look on the old doctor’s face, Yu Qing hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Disciple, I am so angry that I am a master."
"Master, don't be angry. It doesn't matter if the pharmacy is closed. From now on, my apprentice will support you in your old age. Even if my apprentice gets married, he will take you with him. Let's see what's left in the pharmacy. Money is the dearest thing now."
Qing returned to his greedy look of being obsessed with money. The old man looked a little dazed, but he figured it out in an instant. It was obvious that someone was eavesdropping outside. So he followed Yu Qing's words.
"What other good things can there be? There are no heartless things. My child, don't rummage around. The most valuable things are the master's prescriptions. They are the hard work of the master for half his life. Fortunately, he can't take away the house where the shop is opened.
, let’s talk about what kind of business we do in the future.”
"Master Yuqing, I think everyone outside has left, so everything has been settled. It's past lunch time, so we bought some pancakes and had a bite, and then it was time to go back."
The sound carried far into the drug store.
"Master, when we came here just now, there were people eavesdropping on your conversation on the roof and at the door." Xuan Ye and Zhen'er entered the drug store, and Xuan Ye said a little scared.
