Hard to be a good wife

Tang Yue stayed at Imperial Physician Wu's house for three days, during which time Imperial Physician Wu was summoned twice by Prince Zhao, to check His Royal Highness's health on the bright day, but actually called someone to inquire about Tang Yue's situation.

Poor Tai doctor Wu is so old that he still has to get involved in the love life of young people. Every time he comes back, he always stares at Tang Yue with strange eyes.

He thought: This kid must have accumulated good luck in eight lifetimes before he got good fortune in this life, right?

Three days later, the first batch of medicinal materials arrived, and Tang Yue led his new employees and Wu Taiyi, who was of the same level as Wangnianjiao, to the pharmacy in a mighty manner.

The plaque had already been hung up, but it was covered with red silk. Tang Yue followed the modern practice of opening a business, and planned to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, then unveil the plaque, then hold a three-day free clinic, and then hold a small opening ceremony.

The medicinal materials were all piled up in the warehouse in the backyard. Tang Yue led the people into the warehouse with strides, and the fragrance of the herbs and herbs in the room was mixed together, which made several old people smile.

"Xiao Lang is probably the largest medicine merchant in the entire Southern Jin Dynasty." Chen Lao said, stroking his beard.

Business was not booming in this era, most of the merchants were doing small business, and occasionally a few large merchants who resold goods from the north and the south were backed by big nobles.

Nowadays, no one grows medicinal materials in large quantities, so the supply of medicinal materials is extremely unstable, and some small pharmacies only stock the varieties that can be purchased locally, for the treatment of minor ailments.

Que came over with the wooden box in his hand, and showed his white teeth in a smile, "Xiao Lang, fortunately, I have collected hundreds of medicinal materials this time, here is the list."

"Has all the money been settled?"

"It's all settled, and the gold you gave is almost used up." Sparrow explained with some embarrassment: "There is a mountain full of mandala, and my subordinate heard that you said that this medicinal material is very valuable, so I will use it." I bought that mountain on my own initiative and spent a total of thirty gold."

Tang Yue patted Que's shoulder vigorously, and praised several times in a row, "Good!"

Land in this era is not expensive, but it is only relative to the nobles. In the eyes of ordinary people, thirty gold is an amount that may not be earned in a lifetime.

"Mandala?" Doctor Wu had never heard of the name of this herbal medicine, and was curious to see it, and asked Tang Yue, "What is the use of this medicine?"

Tang Yue simply said that Datura can act as anesthesia, and then took him to see it.

Physician Wu said "Hey", "Isn't this eggplant? It's poisonous!"

Tang Yue only knew that datura was a plant in the nightshade family, but he didn't know if it was called Guoshan eggplant.

"The whole plant of Datura datura is poisonous. The leaves, flowers, and seeds can be used as medicine. It has pungent taste and warm nature. Of course, the juniors mainly want to use it to make anesthetics."

"Anesthetic?" Wu Taiyi pinched a small leaf and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, his tongue started to go numb after a while. If he could manage the dosage properly, maybe it could really be used as an anesthetic.

However, he still felt that it was safest to anesthetize with gold needles, since such poisonous substances could easily poison patients if they were not careful.

The use of Chinese herbal medicine is a very deep study. The preface of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" writes: "The medicine is poisonous and non-toxic, and it is dried in the shade. There is a law. If it is poisonous and should be cured, it can be used to fear and kill each other, and it doesn’t work well.”

Many medicines need to be burnt, refined, fired, and sunburned, and their raw and ripeness are determined, or the skin and flesh must be removed, or the skin and flesh must be removed, or the roots and stems must be removed, or the flowers and roots must be removed, and different forms are adopted according to different prescriptions.

Just like ginger, which most people are familiar with, if used as a medicinal material, the effects of ginger and dried ginger are different, and the effects of skinned and peeled are different, which is very particular.

For the next half month, a group of people lived and ate at the pharmacy, and only then did they process all the medicinal materials properly.

Some herbs are simply dried in the sun and need to be further processed, and some get damp on the road and have to be dried again.

Tang Yue ordered people to put commonly used medicinal herbs on the cabinet within reach, and place those not commonly used in high or low positions. Some highly toxic herbs were not placed in the cabinet at all. It must be taken with the approval of three doctors, and the process of dispensing the medicine must be careful, so that there is no mistake.

At the beginning of December, the weather was already very cold. Every morning when I got up early, I could see a layer of hoarfrost on the roof and grass. Tang Yue was used to the winter with heating. In this primitive ancient times, winter seemed particularly difficult.

Wearing a thick wool coat, Tang Yue took a carriage from home to the pharmacy. Today was the grand opening ceremony. Prince Zhao ordered someone to calculate an auspicious time, saying that it was the three quarters of the day when the wealth was the most prosperous.

As soon as he went out and turned a corner, he saw the carriage of the Prince's Mansion parked in front, it was dusty and inconspicuous at all, but Tang Yue still recognized the driver and the accompanying guards.

"Xiao Lang, congratulations, happy opening." Hu Jinpeng presented a pair of gold unicorn ornaments, "You are opening a medicine shop, I wish you a lot of money, otherwise the people of Yecheng will suffer."

"Thank you very much." Tang Yue climbed into the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, and as soon as the door opened, he was warmed by the rushing heat.

"It's better that your carriage is warmer." Tang Yue rubbed his hands and got in, with a fluffy hat on his head.

"Keep warm, don't freeze." Prince Zhao actually wanted to hug him in his arms, but realized that Tang Yue was wrapped like a ball, so he had no choice but to give up.

He held Tang Yue's hand to warm him for a while, and then asked, "Why did you reject Gu's kindness and send those cooks back?"

"How can the cook in your house be dispatched casually? What if those people are used to eating such delicious food, and they all ask you for a cook in the future?"

Tang Yue didn't intend to have a banquet at his own home. It's not popular to hold a banquet in restaurants in this era. Of course, there are no restaurants, only restaurants, and even a small store can't hold a few tables.

So Tang Yue planned to set up a buffet in the yard behind the pharmacy, put more barbecues, get a few large vegetable salads and fruit platters, and serve a few jars of good wine. A few appetizers would be enough.

You know, he hasn't touched a single drop of the tribute wine that was rewarded by the king last time, just waiting for today's Kaifeng.

When Tang Yue arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, he found that there were guests who had arrived earlier than him. Several carriages were parked side by side at the entrance of the pharmacy. Tang Yue got out of the carriage and saw many spectators around him, each of them shrunk their necks , wearing not thick clothes, his face turned purple from the cold.

He walked over a few steps and said loudly, "Fathers and folks, the pharmacy below is open today. Free clinics will be provided for three days. On the first day of opening, free chilblain ointment will be provided. First come, first served. Everyone can also come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Tang Yue's pharmacy has been in preparation for a long time, and almost the whole city of Ye knows about the commotion. With his reputation as a genius doctor, many people are looking forward to this day.

When everyone heard that there was a free free clinic and free plasters, their faces were unconsciously filled with joy, as if the cold wind in winter was not so cold anymore.

An old man rushed over with the child in his arms and knelt down in front of Tang Yue, "Miracle doctor, can you treat my little grandson?"

The old man came from a long way, he had used up all his clothes, and he had nowhere to seek medical treatment. He heard about the legendary deeds of a miracle doctor and came here to try his luck.

Zhao Sanlang stood majestically in front of Tang Yue, "Hey, old guy, this pharmacy hasn't opened yet, just wait and go!"

"Young master, I can wait, my poor grandson can't wait, he...he..."

Tang Yue pushed aside Zhao Sanlang, squatted down and felt the little boy's pulse, his tentacles were icy cold, even if the old man wrapped all the cloth on the child, it would not have any effect on keeping the child out of the cold.

Tang Yue noticed that both of them were barefoot, their feet were red and swollen, and there were several cracks, he sighed: "Take them in first, it's too cold outside."

He stood up and asked a drug boy to lead the old man in, and hesitantly walked up to Prince Zhao, "His Royal Highness, can you do me a favor?"

Today, Prince Zhao was wearing a crimson cotton robe and a snow-white fox fur cape. Even if he didn't have a smile on his handsome face, he was forced to look cute.

Tang Yue was not afraid of him, and pointed to the plaque covered with red silk with a smile, "I'll leave this to you. It is definitely the greatest honor for this medicine store to have a big Buddha like you unveiling the signboard!"

Prince Zhao held his hand and agreed, "Gu asked Ke to bring someone to help, this time I can't refuse."

Tang Yue nodded quickly. He was worried that he would not be busy today, so he specially brought his own guards. Even if these people don't know medicine, they can still do some work of boiling water and boiling medicine.

He joked to Ke: "Remember not to get in there later, if you see blood and faint again, I don't have time to take care of you."

Ke blushed from embarrassment, stared down at the upper of his shoe, and whispered, "Maybe I will cause you trouble!"

Tang Yue turned around and entered the room, Doctor Wu and several other doctors hurriedly followed in, as if the bustle outside had nothing to do with them.

Tang Yue asked people to burn two more pots of charcoal to come in. He changed into a white gown and walked into the consultation room with a medicine box.

The old man was already exhausted from waiting, his yellow and thin face was full of uneasiness, and only when he saw Tang Yue could he be more energetic.

"Old man, wait outside. We will notify you as soon as we have a conclusion." Tang Yue asked him to go out, then put on his gloves and began to check.

He ordered the little boy to take off his clothes and pants. Tang Yue first checked whether there were any obvious wounds on his body. "The patient is about 1.5 meters tall, about thirteen years old, male, with red and purple all over body, obvious frostbite, and long-term malnutrition. Phenomenon, the abdomen is dry, and it must have been a while without eating, and some healed scars were found on the back, chest and thighs, suspected to be blunt trauma...

The patient is running a high fever, and the temperature measured by hand is around 39 degrees. It may be caused by wind and cold, or it may be caused by inflammation in the body. "

He chose two assistants, one was He from Liyang Houfu, the little boy he met for the first time after entering the city, and the other was one of the seven drug boys named Xiang An, whose father was A famous Wu work in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

"You have to write down everything I say, you know?" Tang Yue urged again.

The two nodded, holding a brush in their small hands and writing quickly on the thick bamboo slips. Although the characters were messy, they could barely keep up with Tang Yue's speed.

Tang Yue opened the little boy's eyelids to observe the pupils, and then carefully looked at the nose, mouth, tongue, ears, and hands and feet several times.

Physician Wu nodded secretly, looking, hearing and asking, Tang Xiaolang managed to "look", and he didn't know how he should make a diagnosis next.

"Go and call some old man in, I have something to ask."

As soon as the old man entered the door, he threw himself down beside the bed emotionally, thinking that his grandson would be healed immediately if the genius doctor came out, but he didn't know that his grandson still looked like he was exhaling too much breath and taking in less, and his heart sank.

"Genius doctor, this..." Don't be a deceit, right?

Tang Yue smiled at him reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll ask you a few questions first, has your grandson lived with you since childhood?"

The old man nodded, "Since he was born, my short-lived son died in frontier battles, and his biological mother remarried because she couldn't bear the hardship. We are dependent on each other."

"Then are you usually responsible for beating him?"

The old man's eyes were full of guard, and he shook his head desperately, "Nothing."

"Grandpa, if you don't cooperate, we won't be able to cure your grandson." Tang Yue walked to the bed, pointed to the scars on the child's back and calf, and said, "Then how are these left?"

"This... the old man is usually busy and neglects to take care of him, so his grandson was bullied."

Tang Yue knew that things should not be that simple, but the old man obviously didn't want to talk about it, and judging by his nervous attitude, it didn't look like he hit him.

"First put him on an intravenous drip, feed him some warm water, and make a bowl of thinner rice porridge by the way... Somebody come and wipe him with a hot towel."

As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, everyone saw two sturdy middle-aged men open the medicine box, take out a bamboo tube and hang it upside down on the iron bracket on the bed. There is a pipe inserted into one end of the bamboo tube. It was attached to a thin needle, and then the needle was inserted into the back of the patient's hand.

Physician Wu suppressed the urge to ask questions, watched their every move, and thought deeply about the purpose of this move.

"Hey... Young Master, come and see..." The male nurse who wiped the little boy's body exclaimed.

Tang Yue walked over, his eyes suddenly changed, he even forgot to check the patient's anus just now, judging from the situation in front of him, it was obvious that he was sexually assaulted.

Combined with the old and new scars on his body, I am afraid it was caused at one time.

"Master, what's going on? You mustn't say that you don't know." Tang Yue only felt a puff of depression in his chest. No matter what age it was, there would always be these scumbags with perverted hobbies!

The old man couldn't hide it, so he confessed in tears: "The old man is getting old and unable to support him, so he is sent to a local wealthy family to do a small job, and I only hope that he can grow up smoothly with food. .

A few days ago, a neighbor said that he saw my grandson being carried out of the city on the road, and it seemed that he was seriously injured. Wrapped in a layer of straw mats, the frozen person is unconscious.

As for his injuries, I also asked him when he was awake. It turned out that since last year, the second master of the rich family has taken a fancy to him and brought him to be a book boy. He thought it was a good thing. I never thought that the master would have a human face and a beast's heart, and he killed my poor grandson so far..."

Tang Yue wrote down a prescription while listening, and said rationally: "Send someone to decoct the medicine... Bring the anti-inflammatory medicine prepared in advance. The wound is already seriously inflamed. Fortunately, the weather is cold. If this is summer, I'm afraid Pus festered early."

In such an embarrassing position, if it really got to the point of festering, he didn't know whether he would dare to take a knife.
