Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Wu Yi originally intended to meet Zhang Qiren and asked him if the old man had received any letter from Li Sujie.

In the past two years, not only did he not receive any more letters from Li Sujie, but even his own letter to Yuanzhou City seemed to be thrown into a pool of stagnant water, with not even a splash in sight.

Among the key points, he thought about it, and only Dr. Zhang might be able to give some advice.

Originally, when he met Li Jing for the first time after the year, he was going to visit Zhang's mansion to pay a visit to him. Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty Li Zhi suddenly lost his temper, and the matter was delayed.

Afterwards, he was stumbled by Mei Zhou and his party, and when he returned to Chang'an, he never found a suitable time to speak up.

He was already overwhelmed by the heavy studies and the busy work in the Imperial Medical Office, until the end of the breathless year-end examinations, he barely had a vacation of more than ten days.

During the short annual break, students who live in other places are often not allowed to return home, but it is always possible to go out for fun.Yan Ming originally wanted to invite Wu Yi to live in the mansion again, but Wu Yi declined with a smile - he used to be single, and he just depended on others wherever he went, but now he brought a small follower, so naturally he couldn't live in his mansion.

Since the case of the Yang family, Empress Wu banned Taiping from communicating with Li Jing, and never allowed Li Jing to enter or leave the Taiji Palace, but gave this young son who was detained in Chang'an a free hand.He Cheng Rijie followed Wu Yi's back, studied very hard, and his temper was quieter than Taiping's, and he even helped out with errands from time to time, so he became acquainted with a group of imperial doctors.

One, one, and one child both left their hometowns and stayed together in Shen Hanshan's small courtyard as companions. It was rare for them to be free for a few days. When Shen Hanshan went out to get drunk, they read the treasured classics here. The sound of the pages turning Occasionally, there are two questions and answers between the master and the apprentice, mixed with the slightest wind passing through the new leaves of the old locust tree, and together they draw a quiet end to this restless year.

Wu Yi followed the post and made an appointment to visit Zhang Qiren on the fifth day of the first lunar month. On that day, he took Li Jing with him and went out early.

After all, it is the most solemn and joyful festival of the year. It also barely pacifies the turmoil that people have suffered from the wind and rain for a year in the bitter winter wind, and adds a touch of bright new red to the haze and depression accumulated in the past few days.

The streets are decorated with lanterns and festoons in the Spring Festival, and there is a lot of joy.

The ancients would not wander around casually when they had nothing to do. On such a rare day of celebration, people put on new clothes, walked out of the house, and shared the joy of the New Year with their fellow villagers.

From time to time, strange faces flashed in front of my eyes, bowing slightly to them: "Happy New Year!"

Wu Yi also cupped his hands, and Li Jing also congratulated him with "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

Holding hands, the two of them quickly arrived at the gate of Zhang's residence amidst the crowd of excited people.

When Wu Yi first came to Chang'an, he stayed in Zhang's mansion for a few days, so all the servants and servants in the family were familiar with each other. Although he is no longer a student of Zhang Qiren's family, he has always been humble and polite, so he is naturally more respectful than Wu Xu, Zhang Qiren and others. Xu Ziwen's two pampered playboys were even more likable. When the gatekeeper saw that it was Wu Yi who came to pay a visit, he hurriedly sent a message to send them in, but after a while, someone led the master and apprentice in.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Qiren slowly walked out from behind the curtain, still wearing a thick and spacious crane cloak on his body, his old and thin body was leaning on a walking stick as if he couldn't bear the weight, making people feel tired for him even looking at him.

Only a pair of cold eyes in his whole body preserved the vitality of his youth, and with just one glance, he could reveal the thoughts hidden in the heart of the young man in front of him.

Wu Yi hurriedly said hello to him: "Student Wu Yi, see Dr. Zhang."

Li Jing also bent down in a similar manner: "Jing'er has seen Dr. Zhang."

Zhang Qiren hastily pulled out a hand, and supported Li Jing: "Young son really upset the old minister, it should be the minister who greets you."

Li Jing shook his head: "You are an old man, and Jing'er is a young man, and the young respect the old, which is etiquette; you are a doctor, Jing'er will also be a medical student in the future, and it is a rule for students to greet the teacher. , it should be Jing'er saluting to you."

Li Jing's words were very flattering, but Wu Yi was secretly surprised, he didn't teach the child etiquette and morality much, he was afraid that he would restrain the child's innocent nature.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the silly kid who could only kowtow and beg for help can now speak clearly and logically.

There was a three-point smile in Zhang Qiren's cold and serious eyes, and he put his hand on Li Jing's shoulder, and gently lifted him up: "You also want to study medicine?"

"Jing'er also hopes to become a doctor like Dr. Zhang."

"Oh?" Zhang Qiren put aside Wu Yi's affairs for now, and became interested in the little Li Jing, "Why? You and I have only met each other for a few days, so how can you use me as an example?"

While talking, Wu Yi and Li Jing were already seated, and a servant silently handed over a few cups of good tea. Zhang Qiren's sharp gaze passed through the mist and landed on Li Jing's bright eyes. .

In front of Li Jing was a cup of jujube paste almond tea, which was full of sweetness in his mouth: "Your medical skills are unparalleled in the world, of course you are a role model for all doctors, and when I was in Meizhou, I only heard people praise you for being approachable, but for other doctors If there is no such words, it can be seen that the doctor's medical ethics has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So Jing'er also wants to be like you, hanging the pot to help the world, and being a doctor for the world."

Zhang Qiren was used to the words of greeting, he only smiled slowly when he heard the first half of the sentence, it was not until the second half of Li Jing's sentence that it was rubbed into his heart.

He has been struggling in the officialdom for decades, and his youthful and proud disposition, and his noble and arrogant integrity, have been neatly built by the years, and he is no longer the little student who stood alone in the forest.

What is left is only a pure heart of hanging the pot to help the world and practicing medicine.It is hidden in this old exorcism shell, and it is not eroded by any wind, frost, rain, or dew, nor is it tempted by any benefits. It has preserved the oath it made when it first stepped into the Imperial Medical Office.

Everyone in the world sees him in the apricot altar, but they don't see that he can hardly support his own legs, let alone those original intentions hidden in his heart.

Li Jing's words unintentionally opened the door of his heart, and all of a sudden, years of hard work and emotions flooded into his heart, thousands of words and thousands of times of state of mind blended together, all of which became a long-term success. Long sigh.

Seeing a complex look in his eyes, Wu Yi hastily diverted from this sensitive topic.

"Jing'er is young and ignorant, and she speaks without words. Please don't take it to heart." He changed the subject and finally brought up the purpose of today's visit. "Actually, the student came here for two things. I hope the doctor can give me some advice." One or two."

Zhang Qiren also restrained his emotion for a moment, and shifted his gaze to Wu Yi's respectful face: "Tell me about it."

Wu Yi weighed one or two in his mind, and asked Li Jing's question first.

"There is a dose of Yuehua pill in the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but I haven't found this prescription in the medical classics, so I came here to ask the doctor for this prescription."

Zhang Qiren smiled slightly: "Although you are not under my sect, you are still a student of the Imperial Academy. This kind of question can be asked as long as you meet in the official academy or the Imperial Medical Office. Why do you have to come here to pay a visit?"

If Wu Yi hadn't known that the crown prince was young, he would definitely not have taken this pill to heart. This time, it was mainly to confirm the suspicion in his heart.

But there is still a calm smile on his face: "The students tried to ask Dr. Shen for advice, and even Dr. Shen didn't know the compatibility of this Yuehua Pill, which shows that this prescription is rare. The so-called gold is easy to get, but your side is hard to find." Naturally, it is unavoidable to visit the door, so that you can ask the master to enlighten me on this side."

Zhang Qiren's words were just a few polite words, and Wu Yi was not a serious fledgling student. No matter what age he was in, if he wanted to refer to other people's scientific research results, he always had to say something nice.

"Yuehua Pill nourishes yin and protects lungs, eliminates phlegm and relieves cough. It is a good medicine for treating cough due to yin deficiency." Zhang Qiren picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely, as if what Wu Yi mentioned was just a trivial matter, "The specific compatibility , I’ll ask someone to write it down later, and you can take it back and study it slowly.”

"The doctor is generous with his teachings, and the students are really grateful."

When it comes to paper and pen, Wu Yi mentioned another matter along the way: "Actually, there is another reason for students to visit us."

Zhang Qiren rolled up his eyelids from the tea lid, his eyes became uncertain in the curling mist: "Speak."

"Paper and pen are easy to get, but letters may not be able to convey them. Take the prescription of Yuehua Pill mentioned by the doctor just now. If something goes wrong, it cannot be conveyed to the students."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qiren had figured out the purpose of Wu Yi's trip, he put down the teacup in his hand, and also put down the faint smile on his face, his expression became serious.

"You mean the letter from Poyang County King?"

Wu Yi didn't like him explaining why he came so straight to the point, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Li Jing stood up from the stool, and bowed respectfully to Zhang Qiren: "Father sent many letters to Dr. Zhang's house, but Yigege's several letters were never received by the county prince's house, so It was only then that we suspected that someone among them had tampered with and prevented brother Yi from exchanging letters with the county palace. Since this matter is related to the doctor, we came here to discuss it with the doctor."

It's hard for him to speak clearly and neatly at such a young age. He is still young, and he speaks directly without appearing abrupt, which saves Wu Yi the effort of carefully planning how to speak.

Wu Yi was secretly sighing in his heart about the child's progress, but Zhang Qiren had already spoken lightly.

"The old man has noticed this matter for a long time, and has already sent someone to investigate."
