Chapter 118 Oh, I Know a Little About Medicine (3 in 1)

The leader of Chiyuan Temple has asked someone to take care of him in the northwest?

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wang were both shocked and happy, and asked: "Is this true?"

"This is not an important matter, there is nothing worth talking about..." As soon as Qin Liuxi finished speaking, he saw something was wrong in the eyes of the two people, and said hurriedly: "I mean, although the master is always called an old bastard, But he's not someone who talks nonsense. Even if he doesn't care about you, he also wants to see if my surname is Qin. This little favor will definitely help. "

The corners of Old Mrs. Qin's mouth twitched slightly, and she had a hard-to-explain feeling. Who is this?

Mrs. Wang covered her mouth with a handkerchief. How could Master Chiyuan endure such a rebellious disciple?

She coughed slightly and said: "Master Dashan, how much money did this cost? I will give the money to you later, and you will return it to the Taoist temple?"

"That's right, who is this person looking for? How much does it cost? No matter how poor our Qin family is, we will always come up with it." Old Mrs. Qin paused and said, "Ms. Wang, I don't have to prepare the meals separately. For one or two things, just bring whatever is cooked in the big kitchen and eat it. There is no need to follow the same rules as before in Beijing."

Qin Liuxi's eyebrows moved slightly.

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Mother, how can this be done? You are old and you have to eat something light and easy."

"No matter what, I don't have much appetite as I get older. It's better to eat less to maintain health." Old Mrs. Qin said: "Money has to be used everywhere nowadays. I don't go out even if I'm an old man, so I spend it here." Sales don’t have to be extravagant.”

"It's not extravagant, but you, an old lady, still have to be careful with your meals." Qin Liuxi said, "You are not in good health, and you got even sicker after you returned to Licheng. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will I’m afraid…”

"Ahem." Wang coughed slightly and looked at Qin Liuxi shaking his head slightly.

Qin Liuxi said: "It's just a meal for you. How much can you eat? How do you arrange the kitchen? You can just eat. There is no shortage of food at home."

Listen, how easy it is to say this. Does she not know how difficult the Qin family's situation is now?

Still young after all.

Old Mrs. Qin said: "Don't fight about it. After a while, I will look at this old face and send a few letters to ask for a few favors. Even if I borrow a few dollars for emergency first, if you are willing, I will get ten times the amount in the future." Return it."

Mrs. Wang also said: "My daughter-in-law has already sent a letter to her parents' home. I believe there will be news soon."

Old Mrs. Qin felt relieved that the Wang family was a famous family after all, and they were not afraid of the Meng family.

Qin Liuxi, who looks at his nose and his heart with his eyes to the west, is bored.

When Mrs. Wang saw her like this, she said, "Xi'er has just returned home. She must be tired. Should she go back to the house to rest earlier?"

Qin Liuxi stood up and said, "I'll check Grandma's pulse before leaving."

Without waiting for Mrs. Qin's reply, she walked straight over, placed her fingers on her wrist veins, frowned slightly, and said: "Grandma is very worried and can't sleep at night. Her anger is rising. If this continues, it will affect her body's longevity." It’s no use. I’ll prescribe a prescription to calm the nerves and nourish the liver. I’ll ask Zeng Qihuang to send her the medicinal ingredients. I’ll give the old lady two doses a day.”

"Yes, Miss." Nanny Ding bowed her knees respectfully and was extremely surprised. Miss Ding's medical skills are good, and she was diagnosed right away.

These days, the old lady never slept a full night's sleep. Either she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, or she had something on her mind. She woke up from a frightening dream as soon as she fell asleep, and then she couldn't sleep again.

She knew in her heart that her master was worried about the few gentlemen on the road to exile.

As a result, his spirit is weak and he looks older.

Old Mrs. Qin was also a little surprised. She looked sideways at Qin Liuxi and asked what she had wanted to ask for a long time: "How many years have you been practicing this medical skill? Who did you learn it from? But you have already graduated?"

Qin Liuxi said: "Of course I learned from my master."

"Does Master Chiyuan know how to heal? Isn't he a Taoist priest?" In Mrs. Qin's memory, the old Taoist priest didn't seem to know how to heal.

Qin Liuxi said without changing his expression: "Among the five Taoist arts, there is also a branch of medicine. The so-called Ten Paths and Nine Doctors. Many Taoist masters will have some knowledge of medical skills. It just depends on the depth of study. My master is no exception, but Don’t take this seriously.”

Old Mrs. Qin suddenly realized that she remembered Qin Liuxi's role in delivering Gu's baby, and asked: "How many years have you been practicing medicine? I think you were pretty good at delivering the baby to your third aunt."

She knew how dangerous Gu's situation was at that time.

But now, Mrs. Gu is recovering day by day, her face is starting to become rosy, and her energy is stronger than when she came to Licheng. The two children are also gradually growing, and they look like ordinary full-term children.

She knew in her heart that this was all because of Qin Liuxi's action.

"I haven't studied for a few years, but I'm just a little interested." Qin Liuxi said modestly: "That's it, I understand it a little bit."

Mrs. Qin wanted to say that the medical profession was generally considered lowly, not as good as the ninth-rate scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, but also the middle-class. However, the status of doctors was indeed not high. As a girl, she wanted to get married in the future, so she should not touch these things.

But considering the current situation of the Qin family, what she said was too pretentious.

"In front of outsiders, you have to pay attention to one thing or two. You are a girl after all, and you will eventually get married. A good reputation will only bring benefits and convenience to women. On the contrary, you will be restricted everywhere." Old Mrs. Qin said: " You often only walk around Taoist temples and this old house, and you have never seen the real rules of a wealthy family. You just don’t know that this world is particularly harsh on women. In your eyes, even the smallest behavior that is not worth mentioning will be easy. Be magnified and then crusade."

And she has seen too many such things, and she has also seen too many women lose their lives or lose their lives because of this.

Although Qin Liuxi disagreed with this, he also knew that the old lady had no ill intentions and what she said was reasonable.

No matter how famous doctors were in ancient times, in the eyes of nobles, they could not reach the upper echelons of society and were called low-level workers. Didn’t a famous doctor once express the sadness of doctors: “Medical medicine is a small way, an essence of justice, and an important responsibility. , a cheap worker.”①

"My granddaughter understands."

Mrs. Qin then waved her hand and asked her to go back. Qin Liuxi had just taken two steps when she asked again: "You said that your second aunt is in bad luck, but is it true?"

Qin Liuxi smiled lightly and said: "My granddaughter is not close to my second aunt, but she has no grudge. There is no need to deliberately curse her. Grandma, please rest assured that no matter how estranged my granddaughter is from the Qin family, she has no evil intention to curse her own family. "

Old Mrs. Qin frowned. She was not close and unfamiliar. She was telling it to herself on purpose. Don't expect her to have much affection for the Qin family?

"Grandma took medicine and went to bed early. Granddaughter will leave." Qin Liuxi bowed and walked out gracefully.

Old Mrs. Qin watched her people go out. After a while, she sighed and said to Wang: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the family is not complete for the time being, it can still celebrate the festival. You asked Li Dagui to buy more Some meat and vegetables, some moon cakes to keep everyone active, and don’t worry about being too suffocated."

Mrs. Wang knelt down and said, "Mom, my wife knows."

"Go down."

Wang stood up and bowed to leave.

When she walked out of the old lady's house, she saw Qin Liuxi standing at the door of the courtyard, so she walked over and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing here stupidly? It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and it's cold. Why are you so stupid?" In the wind, be careful to catch a cold.”

Hearing these words of concern, Qin Liuxi felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and said: "It's okay, I'm just waiting for my mother to say a few words, not for anything else but for the old lady's health. The old lady's health is getting worse." , Mother, don’t skimp on the expenses of her hospital. It doesn’t hurt to be more careful. You don’t have to worry about money, it won’t be enough for food and drink.”

Wang's heart moved, she took her hand and walked forward slowly, and asked in a low voice: "Qihuang told me something before, saying that if someone comes to invite you, will you still come to see me?"

"That's right." Qin Liuxi didn't hide anything from her.

Wang's fingers curled up slightly, unable to express what she was feeling, and asked, "Has it been like this all these years?"

Qin Liuxi looked at Wang and saw a bit of regret in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"Since you study medicine, you will naturally be able to practice medicine. Besides helping the world, you can also earn some medical fees. It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

Mrs. Wang sighed softly: "But you are a girl and you are still so young. Practicing medicine is not an easy task. I have really suffered for you these years."

"Mother's words are serious. There is nothing to complain about. Although my family is not close, my life is not bad. I have lived a comfortable life with the master for ten years and learned some skills. It is quite good." Qin Liu Xi smiled.

"Do you blame the Qin family for leaving you in the old house?"

Qin Liuxi said calmly: "If I don't have any complaints, then I'm just trying to sweeten the deal with you and make you happy. I'm just a mortal, and I have all kinds of emotions and desires, so how can I not have any complaints? Of course, that was all when I was a kid. As time went on, I entered Xuanmen again, and I just thought about it. Some things are good for me, but not my life. "

Wang felt really uncomfortable hearing this.

"If I had grown up in front of you, I would have lived a life of fine clothing and fine food, no different from an ordinary boudoir. But now, I have entered Xuanmen, studied medicine with my master, and can expand my horizons when I go out in my free time. The vision is not restricted by the rules of the family, but it is free. It is said that sugar cane is not sweet at both ends, and no one is perfect. There are natural gains and losses, so just look on the bright side of things. "

Mrs. Wang was stunned and said: "You are just a hairpin, but you see things clearly and openly."

"Perhaps it's because I'm a Taoist? After cultivating Taoism, I'm not easily disturbed by worldly things."

When Wang heard this, she felt a bit stuck in her throat. With such an indifferent view of things, would she really be like those Kun Dao in the future and stop getting married?

A little sad.

Qin Liuxi didn't know what his aunt was worried about, so he accompanied her back to the courtyard, then bowed and said goodbye: "I'll come back to say hello to you tomorrow."

Wang watched her leave and sighed.

Nanny Shen held her hand in and said, "Madam, for such a transparent person like the eldest lady, why are you still sighing?"

"It's just too transparent, just like the immortals in the sky. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." Wang sighed.

The water supply was cut off at home today, so I finally had a reason to eat a takeaway. Oops, when the claypot rice started, I wanted to eat fried rice! ! !
