The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The originally busy lobby has become quiet at this time, and everyone is observing the development of the situation.

Lu Xiuyuan ignored him labeling himself as miscellaneous but not good, and asked calmly: "Since you have studied under Dr. Xu for many years, you must be familiar with Mr. Sun Simiao's important recipes, right? "

Shi Zhu looked at him suspiciously, why did she say this suddenly, but she still nodded.

"The first volume of the Thousand Gold Prescriptions, Great Physician Sincerity, there is a sentence: save the disease and diagnose the disease, with a deep heart. Check the situation carefully, and don't lose anything. There is no difference in the treatment of acupuncture and medicine. Do you remember?"

A trace of humiliation flashed across Shi Zhu's face, "I will naturally remember, but I don't know what Lu Xiucai's question means? To humiliate me?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at him in surprise, "What humiliation, you think too much, curing diseases and saving lives is a delicate job, Lu Mou thinks that you can't even do the most basic identification of medicinal materials, you should learn the basics for a few more years from Dr. Xu. "

After Shi Zhu heard this, her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists.

He asked back: "There is a way to specialize in surgery. Lu Xiucai occasionally read a medical book and regarded it as a standard. He has to verify everything he sees. He doesn't know that the eight meridians and meridians are changing, and the same is true for medicinal materials. If it doesn’t look like the fan picture drawn in the book, it’s a fake, and I’ve seen many people like this before.”

The other party's aggressive tone made the atmosphere in the lobby tense.

"How do you know that Lu has only read one article?" He glanced at Shi Zhu and continued, "It's just that he read Nanjing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, and Pulse Classics in his spare time."

Halfway through the talk, Lu Xiuyuan tilted his head slightly distressed, "It seems that there are Suwen, Lingshu, Jiayi Jing, treatises on the causes and symptoms of various diseases, Qianjin Yaofang, Qianjin Yifang, and Waitai Secret Yao."

He smiled at Shi Zhu, "I've only read these ten books, it's true that I haven't read more than you."

When the shopkeeper was not paying attention, Shi Zhu and Boss Chen looked at each other quietly.

Shi Zhu felt a little bad in his heart, he had heard a few of the book titles that the other party said, but he had studied with Dr. Xu for five years, and he could barely memorize most of the important formulas, which had already cost him a lot. great effort.

Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan is not very old, so many medical books, it is impossible to memorize them all, not to mention that he is still a scholar, how can he have the time to read this awkward medical book, the other party is definitely just saying the title is deceiving!

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is relatively large, and an unknown fire rises in my heart.

Shizhu directly faced the shopkeeper, bowed respectfully, and said with a choked tone: "Shopkeeper Li, I, Shizhu, have been following Dr. Xu since I came to Ping'an Hall five years ago. When I first came, I was not familiar with some herbal medicines. Holding the illustrated book of medicinal materials that Dr. Xu gave me, I carefully read it dozens of times a day, and I have persisted until now, for fear that in the future, if someone makes a mistake in prescribing medicine, and delays the illness of others, can you be a witness?"

Shopkeeper Li thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the case, he nodded, "Yes, I still remember that time when you were eating, holding that illustration book in your hand, and the porridge in the bowl was gone, and you were still hugging Drink from an empty bowl." Thinking of something interesting, shopkeeper Li laughed.

Shi Zhu smiled wryly, "That's right, I may not be talented enough to study medicine, so I can only make up for it with hard work. God rewards me. It was Dr. Xu who encouraged me and gave me a picture. It is still in front of my bed today." Hang on, get up every day, read it a few times first, and examine yourself three times."

When he spoke later, his tone was choked and incoherent.

"The eight extraordinary meridians change in thousands of ways. I may not be able to guarantee 100% certainty in medical skills, but to identify medicinal materials, I studied hard for several years under the leadership of Dr. Xu, and only then did I achieve the results I have today."

"Lu Xiucai may be very talented. He is proficient in reading and governing the country. He is also proficient in medical skills. At a young age, he understands all the knowledge that I have not fully learned after five years of study. It is really admirable."

"But Lu Xiucai said that this native ginseng is fake without proof. I really can't agree with it. Although I am not good at arguing with others since I was a child, I still believe that justice is at ease." After speaking, he lost control of his emotions and took two steps back , stood firm.

The other apprentice next to him saw that Shi Zhu's eye circles were a little red, and he couldn't hold back his breath anymore. He listened for a long time, this so-called Lu Xiucai, has been bullying his senior brother.

He took two steps forward, pointed at Lu Xiuyuan and said, "Listen up, Xiucai Lu, although I'm stupid, I know that brother really studies hard every day and works very hard. I've never seen someone who works so hard. You I have never heard Dr. Xu talk about the books mentioned, and the latter ones. Don’t make up medical books to deceive us. Also, don’t think that you are a scholar, so you can slander our Ping’an Hall at will. If you are in a hurry, we can do the same. The police will arrest you"

After the apprentice finished speaking, all eyes in the hall were focused on Lu Xiuyuan, as if accusing him, what else can you say now.

His elder brother thought that this was bad, and it was over, so why did he feel that what others said made sense? He also watched Erlang reading, and often turned the pages after a cursory glance.

Is it because I didn't read in detail and missed some sentences, so I made a mistake now?

After all, the other party's apprentice has been studying hard every day for five years, so it's impossible to make mistakes, right?In case the other party is really irritated and the reporter arrests Lu Xiuyuan, how will he get fame in the future?

Lu Xiuwu was scratching his head anxiously, and he took two steps beside Lu Xiuyuan, "Erlang, don't you forget? The medicine is ready, let's take the medicine and leave, don't argue, in case they really report to the government , what will happen to affect your exam in the future?"

Seeing Lu Xiuwu's confession, that Boss Chen finally spoke, he sneered directly, "Speaking of the reporter, do you feel scared now? Want to run away? Why aren't you afraid when you slander people? Just say it casually, we all It takes so much effort to prove that if you spread the word, how will Ping An Tang open a drug store in the future, and how will I sell goods in the future!"

His elder brother had a stupid mouth and didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there and turn his eyes to Erlang for help.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the farce in front of him, and really lost his patience, "I just said that the native ginseng is fake, and I didn't slander the Ping'an Hall. The two cannot be confused, but it's really interesting to see you trying to cover up,"

"Fake is fake, even if you tell me about flowers, it's still fake."

He casually picked up a piece of native ginseng from the box, "I don't want to talk nonsense to you, just cut it open and you'll know it at a glance."

Seeing that he was taking ginseng to be cut, the seller hurriedly stopped him and said, "Although this native ginseng is a little cheaper than ginseng, it is also very expensive. This one can be worth 30 taels. You are a poor scholar who can afford it." What about you! Put it down quickly!" As he said, he snatched the native ginseng from Lu Xiuyuan's hand, and put it back in the box after glaring at him.

His elder brother is also worried, although he supports Erlang unconditionally, but this thing is worth 30 taels, how can he make fun of it out of anger!

He couldn't explain it to Lu Xiuyuan. This younger brother has always had big ideas and didn't listen to him. He simply went to the shopkeeper next to him and planned to intercede. After all, when he first came in, he saw that they were chatting and laughing, and they might have a little friendship. .

Shopkeeper Li also has a headache. He doesn't know how he developed into what he is now?He is in a complicated mood now, very complicated!

He also knew what was going on with Lu Xiuyuan, and if the native ginseng was real, he wouldn't be afraid of repudiating Ping An Tang.

But he also thought that the other party was someone who had dug wild ginseng from the mountains, and he should be able to identify native ginseng. What if the ginseng is really fake... Thinking of this, he shook his head again and again, no, no, little pink ginseng is here After being an apprentice for so many years, I can see the hard work every day, which may be a misunderstanding.

But now it is better to calm down and let people go. Shopkeeper Li is about to speak up, so let's forget about today's matter.

As a result, Lu Xiuyuan took out a short wooden knife from his waist and cut off half of the native ginseng in his hand.

Both Boss Chen and Shi Zhu's expressions changed.

The upper half of the native ginseng was peeled off and rolled around on the ground. Shopkeeper Li was so distressed that he wanted to pick it up on the ground.

Lu Xiuyuan said: "Shopkeeper Li, don't pick it up yet, why don't you come and see this?"

As he said that, he turned the cross-section of native ginseng to the shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li is a layman, so he is confused.

Lu Xiuyuan reluctantly brought the severed side up to the opponent's nose, "Have the shopkeeper ever smelled the unique aroma of unearthed ginseng?"

Shopkeeper Li leaned forward and carefully sniffed it a few times. He also used native ginseng when he was in poor health. It doesn't seem to smell like that?

"The cross-section of native ginseng looks like the heart pattern of a chrysanthemum. You should remember it after memorizing it so many times, right?" Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and asked Shizhu.

The other party nodded with a bad face and admitted.

Lu Xiuyuan just took the half of the ginseng and pointed it at Shi Zhu and that boss Chen.

"Then look at what this is? The cross-section is dotted and concentric. Do you remember what kind of plant is described in the book?"

Under the oppression of Lu Xiuyuan's momentum, the opponent had no choice but to utter a word. "It's Shanglu."

"Oh, as long as you know."

Shopkeeper Li saw that things had changed in another direction. It seemed that what Lu Xiucai said was more correct. He rushed forward and asked, "Lu Xiucai, what is this Phytophora? How can it be the same as native ginseng?"

Lu Xiuyuan put away the knife and began to explain the confusion to everyone present.

"Pokeweed is also a kind of herbal medicine, but its roots are highly poisonous. If you take more than one penny, it can cause headaches, muscle convulsions and other symptoms of poisoning. If you accidentally take too much, you will die of myocardial paralysis."

Whoa!Hearing that this thing is so poisonous, shopkeeper Li looked at Shi Zhu in disbelief.

This person has been in front of my eyes for so many years, even if I was arguing just now, I was more inclined to him, but he actually contracted an outsider to buy this kind of poison!It's hard to imagine what will happen if they sell this medicine as native ginseng!

All the signboards of their Ping'an Hall for decades have been smashed!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, his spirit was not good, and he became much duller. He pointed at Dianthus, unbelievable, staggered, and was about to fall to the ground. Lu Xiuwu got closer and immediately helped the other party.
