My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.
Chapter 198 I am the one who forgets profit
There is a small piece of land in the yard, covered by a large glazed cover, with some herbs planted inside.
Mei Xueer moved closer and looked quietly. The more she looked, the more surprised she became.
Not to mention how much money this greenhouse made of glass would cost in this era, the creativity alone is astonishing.
Besides, the value of the herbs grown there is many times more than that of this greenhouse.
There were some medicines that she had only seen in books.
There were even two flavors that she had never seen before.
Cold sweat oozed from Mei Xueer's forehead. She had always thought that in this era, the medical knowledge possessed by her, a medical genius who was proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, was unmatched. Until she saw all this in front of her, she truly felt that there are always mountains beyond mountains and there are always heavens beyond heavens.
What a master! A master from another world!
"This girl must be Miss Mei?" A slightly old voice came from behind.
Mei Xueer turned around suddenly.
This man was about fifty years old, but he had white hair and a youthful face, bright eyes, clear and pure gaze, and an immortal demeanor, like an otherworldly sage.
Mei Xueer quickly bowed and said, "I am Mei Xueer, a junior, and I have come to pay my respects to you, Senior. I am sorry to bother you."
The old man nodded slightly, with a kind smile in the corner of his eyes, "My last name is Wang, young lady, you can call me Uncle Wang."
Forgot your uncle?
Wen Bing, who was standing by, quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would laugh out loud.
Mei Xueer: Just call him uncle. He is old and it won’t hurt yourself to call him uncle.
Wait, what did he say his last name was?
Could it be that the miracle doctor who treated Wen Ding's injury and the traveling doctor who wrote medical notes that he had been looking for were the same person?
Mei Xueer asked quickly: "Senior, no, Master Wang, I have read several books on medical practice, signed by Wang Li. May I ask if it is you, the elder?"
"I am Wangli!" Wangli stroked his beard and nodded.
With a smile on his face, he continued to stroke his sparse beard: "Wang Li is just a pen name. It reminds me that as a doctor, I should put curing diseases and saving lives first. As for profit, I don't need to care too much. I have lived for a long time, and I have long forgotten my original surname and name."
"Master Wang, you are a kind-hearted doctor, which is really admirable. However, I see that you are not old."
"You're almost eighty, and you're not old?"
"Ah..." Mei Xueer thought he was only in his fifties.
It seems that he really deserves to be called "Uncle" by these young people.
Don’t even call me uncle, you can even call me ancestor.
But how could one forget a person’s last name?
He just forgot about profit, not lost his memory.
Since the old man didn't want to tell his name, Mei Xueer didn't ask any more questions.
"Before, my servant was injured and in critical condition. Master Wang tried his best to treat him and saved his life. I came here today to express my gratitude. To be honest, Master Wang, I am also a doctor. Seeing your superb medical skills, I admire you very much. Please give me some advice."
"Miss, you don't need to thank me. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty."
Mei Xueer didn't need to be polite with him anymore. She pointed at the "greenhouse" beside her and pretended to be puzzled: "I am ignorant and don't know what this is..."
"This is my treasure." Wangli narrowed his eyes with some pride, stroking the glass covers, "I have been dealing with medicinal herbs all my life, and I found that there are many precious and rare medicinal herbs in the south, so I wanted to transplant them to the north. However, the climate in the north is very cold in winter, and these herbs will freeze to death. I also accidentally discovered that if I cover these herbs with glass covers, they can keep warm inside. In this way, these southern medicinal herbs can survive in the north in winter."
Mei Xueer: Damn it, if you are not a time traveler like me, then you must be a genius in botany and physics!
She complimented him again without showing any emotion.
At this time, a child dressed as a herbalist ran out of the house and said, "My dear, the herbs you ordered have been ground. I'm not sure about the proportions to be prepared, so you have to do it yourself."
Look, there are people who really call him "ancestor".
However, when combined with the surname "Wang", the title of "Forgetting Ancestors" is quite embarrassing.
But I didn’t feel embarrassed at all for forgetting my ancestors and this child.
But this child’s voice doesn’t sound like a child’s. Maybe it’s because he entered puberty early, his voice sounds low and hoarse.
In short, it's just too discordant.
So, Mei Xueer couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Every time the child shouted "Forget your ancestors", she got goosebumps.
Wang Li stroked the child's head, stroked his beard, and looked at Mei Xueer: "I'll be away for a while, Miss Mei, can you come sit in my room?"
Mei Xueer saw him stroking his beard all the time and looking very satisfied with it, and she was afraid that one day he would pull out all the beard on his chin.
Look, there are only a few left.
Entering the house, the strange medicinal fragrance from before became even stronger.
The furnishings in the room are simple yet exquisite.
On a large desk, there were many bottles and jars, all tightly covered.
One of the porcelain bottles had no cover, and the medicinal fragrance came from inside.
Mei Xueer was really curious. As she was watching, Wangli had finished his work and walked over.
"I just smelled the aroma of ground medicinal herbs from a distance. If I'm not mistaken, there should be five kinds of herbs in it." Mei Xueer asked, turning around.
Wang Li stroked his beard and looked at her with a smile, "Miss Mei, can you smell what kind of medicine it is?"
"There are Xishu, Cangfen, Celery Root, and Baitan, all of which are extremely rare medicinal herbs..." She paused, "I am stupid, and there is another one that I cannot identify."
"It's amazing that you can identify these four flavors at such a young age." Wang Li did not hide it, "The last one is the fire withered seed!"
"Ah? Master Wang can actually find the Fire Withered Seed?" Mei Xue'er was really surprised. "I have only seen records about the Fire Withered Seed in ancient books. It is said that this herb is also called the Fire Phoenix, because it is like the Phoenix Nirvana, and can only be reborn in its own ashes. Not only does it have extremely strict requirements for the growth environment, but it must also grow in high-altitude cold areas, and the forest must be struck by lightning and caught fire. After it burns itself out, it can grow a new plant from its own ashes after another five years. Moreover, this herb has no leaves, and it blooms directly, but it can only bloom for one day, and then the flower stem will wither immediately. If you want to regenerate, you must wait five years after the fire. So it is really difficult to pick a plant. Its value can no longer be measured in gold and silver."
"You actually knew that?" Wang Li raised his eyes in surprise. "The medicinal properties of the fire-dried fruit are in its flower. It can replenish qi and regenerate flesh. It's not an exaggeration to say that it can bring the dead back to life. It's much better than those thousand-year-old ginsengs."
"But as far as I know, the stamens of the fire-withered fruit contain a toxin." Mei Xueer said in an academic tone, "If mixed with certain drugs, it can cause people to become demented."
How could she not know that she had prescribed three herbs for Prince Jing to treat the old scar on his forehead, one of which was the fire-dried seed, and the other two were the 琓花 and the 风烛.
"You are right. There is nothing wrong with using the stamens of the fire-withered seed alone, but if it is mixed with the iris flower and the wind candle, it will make people stupid whether taken internally or applied externally. However, I have figured out a way to remove the toxins in the stamens of the fire-withered seed."
Damn, you are truly a genius!
Mei Xueer had always thought that no one could see through the vicious intentions in the prescription she wrote for the Dog Prince, but this old man just casually pointed it out.
The way he looked at her was as if he had seen through her intention to poison Prince Jing.
Feeling somewhat guilty, she quickly changed the subject, "I wonder how Master Wang learned this unparalleled medical skill?"
This time, Wangli didn't stroke his beard or say anything.
Mei Xueer: "I am just out of admiration and curiosity. If you are reluctant to tell me, just pretend that I have never asked."
"Okay, I'll just pretend you never asked."
"..."
Why did the conversation suddenly die out today?
Damn it, haven’t you always been very kind and friendly and answered every question?
Mei Xueer walked around the room casually, her eyes falling on a glass box.
The glass was transparent, and she could see at a glance what was inside. It was filled with, uh, in modern terms, surgical medical instruments.
Scalpels, hemostatic forceps, scissors, tweezers... everything is available.
