[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Lin Jiang watched the beauty make up for a while, and handed the last hairpin to Daiyu with his own hands: "Sister, come back early, I have something to discuss with you."

Daiyu's mind was sharp and understanding. Hearing what Lin Jiang said, she asked with a flick of her mind, "But it's a new prescription for my sister? This early in the morning, my sister didn't even sleep and came to look for me. I think it's a wonderful prescription. .Could it be that the recipe is so good that my sister doesn't know how to take it out?"

Lin Jiang couldn't help clapping her hands: "I'll call you Sister Zhuge from now on."

Daiyu laughed, got up and said, "Then I'll go to greet my grandmother first, and my sister will talk about it when I come back."

Lin Jiang was not the only one who didn't sleep well last night due to high spirits, and Wang Xifeng was also there.

Although she gritted her teeth and made up her mind to seize the power from Mrs. Wang, she was still a little apprehensive about being subdued by Mrs. Wang for many years.

She is not afraid of anything in the Rongguo Mansion. After these incidents, Mother Jia was obviously a little disappointed with Mrs. Wang, and she took the opportunity to take the position. As long as the disturbance was not too much, Mother Jia would probably turn a blind eye.

Instead, Wang Xifeng had to consider her mother's family.

The current head of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng, is not her own father, but her uncle.There is no need to guess who is closer to a niece from the same family who married off in her teens and a younger sister who grew up together, Wang Ziteng.

Before Wang Xifeng got married and came here, the Wang family always asked her to obey her aunt's orders after entering the Rongguo Mansion.

All these years, she has obeyed her family's words, but she didn't get what she wanted.

Today, Mother Jia had something to say to Daiyu alone, so she sent the rest of the people away, leaving only Daiyu.Sister Feng just came back to have a rest.

She brought Pinger back to Baoxia where she lived, when she saw Baoshi standing at the door talking to Fenger.

Sister Feng had a smile on her face: "Miss Baoshi is here, why don't you go in and talk? Feng'er is the same, don't go in and pour tea."

After Lin Jiang left yesterday, Sister Feng thought over and over again: Doctor Xiao Lin is different from these girls in their family. She said that if she wants to help herself, she can really help her a lot.

As long as she can often face the holy point, she has the greatest advantage: the Rongguo Mansion is far away from the court and the emperor, and the current glory is really the legacy of the ancestors plus the old kindness that the Supreme Emperor remembered, and it will only worsen day by day .Otherwise, the family wouldn't send Yuan Chun, a eldest daughter from the heirloom, into the palace, even a female official would have to give it a go.

A man is useless and can only rely on a woman's inner lining to work hard.

But this imperial doctor Xiaolin took a different approach. Although she was a daughter, she relied on her real ability to be used in front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

Now in Rongguo Mansion, she lives in seclusion and does not speak, but as long as she is willing to speak, she is willing to express her closeness to Wang Xifeng and her disagreement with Mrs. Wang. point.

At that time, it will definitely be smoother for me to take the position.

It's better than fighting against Mrs. Wang alone by riding alone for thousands of miles.

Baoshi turned around and greeted Sister Feng first, respectfully and politely: "Second Grandma, our girl sent me here because I was in a hurry to get some herbs."

Sister Feng didn't even ask what she wanted, and said directly: "There are some! Ask Ping'er to take the key and open the warehouse with you to look for them. It's those ginseng and cinnamon ones. If there is no doctor Xiaolin who likes it, I will send someone out." Buy now!"

Bao Bao hurriedly laughed and said: "Second Grandma, Prince Shao's Mansion sent a lot of precious herbs in the past, and the tonics that Mrs. Wu gave to the two girls before, there is no shortage of these expensive medicines, just some ordinary herbs, our girls I don't have any at hand." He said and took out a list.

Ping'er took the list and went to work.

Sister Feng held the gemstone and said with a smile: "I think Doctor Xiaolin has studied new prescriptions again. He is really a fairy."

Baoshi also laughed together: "The girl said that this time she is going to make medicine for beauty and beauty. When the time comes, she will also send a copy to Second Mistress."

"That's good, I'll just wait!"

The day when Lin Jiang went to work was the day before the twelfth lunar month, and the palace had already started preparing Laba porridge and other things in advance.

Tai Hospital is not far from the Imperial Dining Room, and you can even smell the sweet aroma of boiled honey beans and candied lotus seeds.

Lin Jiang didn't like sweets at first, but in this winter, the smell of sweetness made her feel warm.

After greeting the imperial physician on duty in the lobby, Lin Jiang didn't go back to his 'office' to sit and read a book as usual.Instead, he took his official seal and went to the medicine storehouse.

Guan Gou at the door of the medicine store saw her, got up quickly and greeted her warmly.

Lin Jiang pressed his official seal on the list of records in his case, and asked: "I need some medicinal herbs, medicine bowls, hammers and other medical tools. The total amount should not exceed 500 taels. I can use my own seal, right?" ?”

This is the first time she came to pick up medicines and medical equipment, so she asked one more question.

There are several warehouses in Taiyuan Hospital: medicine warehouse, medical equipment warehouse, and Shangzhen warehouse (precious medicines) all have strict access procedures.Otherwise, there are hundreds of people in the Tai Hospital, and if each person moves a little every day, the place can be emptied.

Many precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum with a century old and ginseng with a century of age are used, and there is nowhere to buy them.

Therefore, more than half of the staff in the Tai Hospital are apprentices who are responsible for managing the warehouse and maintaining medicines, and they can only be warehouse managers when they have qualifications.

According to the regulations of the previous dynasty, when the imperial physicians did not treat the nobles, they could not use the stock in the palace medicine storehouse.

It's just that the royal family of the Zhou family has been troubled by family diseases for a long time, so they increased investment in the imperial hospital, and encouraged the imperial physicians to study medical skills.It is specially designed to allow imperial physicians to take medicinal materials for prescription experiments.

Of course, there is a limit, so don't try to take it for nothing for deputy envoys and the like. Only the official envoy level of the Tai Hospital has a limit of 100 taels of silver per month.

Further up, the vice hospital of Tai Hospital has a quota of 500 taels.

If there is any excess demand, you have to go to Qin Yuanzheng for approval. If it exceeds 1000 taels, Qin Yuanzheng's official seal will not work, so you can only submit the budget and plan to His Majesty.

If the emperor thinks that medical research has a future, he will approve the plan; if he thinks that the research has no future, he will criticize the imperial physician himself.

When Lin Jianggang heard about this process, he felt familiar.After thinking about it carefully, oh, isn't this the process of applying for a project!

When she was studying, she also wrote bids for her tutor and applied for projects from universities.

Originally, Lin Jiang used her silver needles to treat diseases, so she never used the medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital in the future.

It's different now, the [Scar Removal] buff shrouded her body, and she can start making ointments in batches.

The medicines she took were not expensive at all, they were all the most basic herbal medicines for nourishing the skin and promoting blood circulation, and there was also a large amount of agar base that was necessary for making ointments.Even if she received ten catties each, it would not exceed 500 taels, so she came here with her seal.

"Yes yes! Your lord's seal is enough."

Guan Gou hurriedly signed his name with a brush on the back of Lin Jiang's official seal, and then called two assistant managers to calculate the amount of the list that Lin Jiang handed him, and both assistant managers also signed. It is a three-person responsibility system.

Then one of the assistant managers took the list and went into the medicine storehouse, and took two young apprentices to prepare everything Lin Jiang needed.

And Liu Guangou, who was outside, was busy entertaining Lin Jiang: "Master Xiaolin, we don't have any good tea here, sir, I can barely use some to warm up."

There is also an old imperial physician surnamed Lin in the Tai Hospital, so the entire Tai Hospital is called Lin Jiang, and they all call Doctor Xiao Lin.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "Liu Guangou is being polite."

Liu Guangou looked at Lin Jiang's blue official uniform representing the fifth rank, and then looked at his own dull gray official uniform of the ninth rank, and couldn't help feeling a little envious: he had been working in the imperial hospital for more than ten years before he became a manager from a junior apprentice The official management hook of the medicine storehouse can be seen from the imperial doctor Xiaolin, one step directly from the fifth rank, and in this imperial hospital, he is only a little worse than Master Yuanzheng.

Lin Jiang came over feeling a little chilled, so he took a sip of tea.

This drink can't help but startled: She has never drank such a bad tea since she traveled through time.

In fact, she is not a person who knows much about tea. She can't say what kind of water goes with what kind of tea, but she can tell whether it is good or bad.Thinking of her journey, whether it is the Lin family or the Rongguo Mansion, they are all very particular about food and clothing.Wherever she went, they were all officials and officials and even the imperial court, so there would be no bad things.

But just across the wall from her, these managers who worked hard to take inventory of the warehouse every day lived a much poorer life.

The salaries of imperial physicians are not low, and they have private jobs of various officials and officials, so they are not short of money, and they are quite rich.

But these people who manage the warehouse don't have any extra money to make.

Although it was unpalatable, Lin Jiang took two sips before putting down the teacup.Seeing that she was willing to drink tea, Liu Guangou also spoke kindly, and the smile on his face grew wider.

The herbs Lin Jiang needed were all common, and the medicine store was ready soon.There are also common medical tools such as medicine bowls in the drug store, so you don't have to go to the medical store to get them alone, and they should all be packed neatly for Lin Jiang.

Liu Guangou said: "These things are a bit heavy, ask two young apprentices to carry them back to the adults."

Lin Jiang stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you very much."

When they arrived at her office, the two young apprentices were obviously somewhat restrained and a little scared: they had all heard that there were several royal gifts in the room of Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin.

I heard that the Supreme Emperor once gave her a jade ruyi handle, probably the one placed at the highest point of the Duobao Pavilion.They didn't dare to move around, it would be a serious crime if they damaged the imperial gifts.

Lin Jiang greeted them: "Just put it on the ground, and I will clean it up myself later."

Then he opened the cabinet and took out two slings of money: "Thank you for sending this trip for me."

The eyes of the two young apprentices were erratic, and they blushed and waved their hands.Lin Jiang knew that they were not rich just by looking at their clothes, but with that little salary, he was afraid that he would squeeze it out to honor the masters in charge.Waving your hand now is not because you don't want it, but because you don't dare to take it.

Lin Jiang smiled and said, "Take it. I still have something for you to bring to Liu Guangou and the others."

As he said that, he found several boxes of ginseng tea and black tea, and asked the apprentice to hand them over: "It's winter, and this year's green tea is also old, and the good ones will come out next spring. But this ginseng tea is suitable for drinking in winter. Take it back and ask Liu Guan Gou drinks tea, in the future I will have plenty of time to cause trouble for them."

The little apprentice saw that the masters had better things, so he dared to charge two dongs of money, thanked them and left.

And Liu Guangou was also surprised when he received the tea.The two deputy managers next to him hooked up and said: "This ginseng tea was tributed by the Northeast General at the autumn equinox this year, so it should be divided among the masters of the palaces."

Although they were in charge of the drug storehouse, they were all colleagues, and they were familiar with the eunuchs in charge of the storerooms of the palace officials.

Liu Guangou nodded: "It must be rewarded by the two majesties. Every time Imperial Physician Xiaolin goes back to give the Taishang Emperor his pulse, the father-in-laws in the Dazheng Palace are like receiving Bodhisattvas - as soon as she goes to check the pulse or give acupuncture, the Taishang Emperor will be in a good mood. The Dazheng Palace has not killed anyone for more than a month."

The two assistant managers made envious 'tsk tsk' sounds.

On the contrary, Liu Guangou looked at the tea leaves for a moment, and then said: "It must be because I drank our tea just now and felt that I couldn't drink it, so Mr. Xiao Lin brought it here."

After speaking, he laughed at himself: "There are too many imperial physicians here and there, who takes us seriously? Our tea is not good, at most they don't like it, who will remember to subsidize us with their own good things? But this imperial physician Xiaolin , Careful and kind. If she can be the director of the Imperial Hospital in the future..."

The two assistant managers were stunned: "I can't, she is a girl after all."

Liu Guangou retorted: "Before her, who of you would have thought that a girl would be the deputy hospital in the imperial hospital? What's more, she walked in the imperial hospital and the palace. Who would not admire her medical skills? Who would dare to treat her as a girl?" Just underestimate her?"

He took a deep breath: "Yes, Qin Yuan is a good person and never mean to us. But his old man's thoughts are never in this hospital! He has been the hospital for 20 years, and he has won the trust of the emperor, but I never thought of seeking benefits for everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital—this salary is still the old practice 20 years ago! Who will make four taels of silver a month?"

"It's okay for imperial physicians, they have a lot of money to earn outside, and the salary of 20 taels a month is not in their eyes. But we are different, guarding a warehouse to earn a dead moon silver. If this continues for a few years, we will not be able to live. .”

When he said this, the two deputy managers Gou also felt sympathetic: "Isn't it? If only our work is easy, medicinal materials are the most precious, and whenever it is cloudy and rainy, we will come and go in the wind and rain." They looked at the doors and windows one by one, and were busy sealing a lot of medicine powders. When the weather was good, they had to take out a lot of medicines to dry according to the orders of the imperial physicians. Just like this, there should be no wear and tear, or they would have to pay for it out of their own pockets. Come on, it's a sad day."

Liu Guangou picked up the glass bottle in his hand, this glass bottle of ginseng tea was worth their monthly prescription.

And this kind of good tea, the imperial doctor Xiao Lin can send them to them, which shows that he is considerate and generous.

He pointedly said: "Qin Yuanzheng won't take care of our affairs anymore, he is old too, and there is really no need to trouble us for us. The same is true for the other two vice presidents. However, Imperial Physician Xiaolin is different, she is young and capable, in the future the hospital may be in her hands, it will be different! We will have a good life too!"

The two assistant managers looked at each other and nodded.

Liu Guangou pointed to the good tea on the table and said with a smile: "We have got good things from the medicine storehouse, and we can't keep them private. When we are not busy in the afternoon, we will ask the brothers from the medical tool storehouse and Shangzhen storehouse to taste tea." .” It also revealed his thoughts.

The two assistant managers nodded together: "It should be so."

In this hospital, they account for the majority of apprentices, but no one takes them seriously, and no one is willing to listen to their voices.But now, this single seemingly weak force is about to gather together for their own future.

"Huh? I didn't see any new patients today." When Lin Jiang habitually checked the reputation data at night, he was surprised to see that the reputation suddenly increased by nearly [-] points.

Could it be that her reputation has spread to a new family?

Even so, it will not increase by more than 100.Lin Jiang has now figured out the law of the growth of the reputation value. If the reputation reaches a new princely family, the addition of the family and several house owners can add [-] reputation points to her.Unless she personally heals and shocks the other party with the facts, the prestige value can be doubled and increased by fifty or sixty points.

Today's [-] prestige points are really inexplicable.

But something is better than nothing, Lin Jiang came to Daiyu's house with the joy of reaping the windfall.

Daiyu was under the lamp, fiddled with the strings of the piano score, and smiled when she saw Lin Jiang coming over: "Sister Jiang's prescription is finally perfect?"

In the past two days, she knew that Lin Jiang had been thinking about her new prescription. After buying a batch of medicinal materials from Sister Feng, it was not satisfactory after all, so she went to the Imperial Hospital to search for a batch today.

Originally, in the afternoon when she entered the palace every day, sister Jiang had to catch up on sleep, but after returning today, she only took a few bites of food in a hurry and continued to study the prescription.

Mammy Xia looked distressed and wanted to dissuade her, but Daiyu stopped her instead: "Mammy let my sister finish this worry as soon as possible, so that I can eat, otherwise it will be useless in my heart if I forcefully eat it."

Daiyu even helped grind the herbs for a while in her room in the afternoon.

It's just that Daiyu's body is weak and her strength is weak. After grinding for a while, Madam Xia and Lin Jiang said in unison: "Why don't girls (sisters) forget it."

Daiyu had no choice but to leave the stage with regret, giving up her physical work and letting Baoshi take over.

Now that Lin Jiang came over with a small porcelain bowl, Daiyu knew that she had finished the work, she was very interested, and got up to take the ointment from Lin Jiang's hand.When I opened it and smelled it, I felt the extraordinarily fresh aroma of herbs rushing towards my face, not to mention the smell of medicine at all, but a kind of refreshing breath.

"Sister's ointment really smells good."

"That's not right, I spent a lot of energy." Lin Jiang perfected the formula in the past two days, and what he perfected was the delicate texture and fragrance of the paste.After all, the effect of the medicine is not exerted by these ordinary beauty drugs at all, but by the buffs on her body. As long as she personally prepares the paste, it will have the effect of [removing scars].

She brought it for Daiyu's acceptance: Daiyu's taste is extremely high, if she can give her a good compliment, the imperial court and the ladies in Beijing will naturally like it.

Lin Jiang looked around at everyone in the room, and said with some regret: "It's a coincidence, why didn't everyone have acne today. Otherwise, try this ointment, and keep the acne and stop it immediately."

The snow geese next to him suddenly said: "Miss, when I took the smoker cover yesterday, the sparks that popped out splashed, and there is still a small blister now, why don't you try it on me?"

He said and rolled up his sleeves.

Lin Jiang looked at the wound, nodded and said, "No problem, after you put it on, it will be fine within a cup of tea."

[Scar Removal] gain, depending on the degree of damage of the wound, it takes different time.Small burns such as snow geese can be eliminated in five to 10 minutes.For the most severe burns on a large area, it may take three days to wrap the person in ointment to heal.

As for small superficial inflammations like pimples, as Lin Jiang said, it really stops acne immediately.

She picked out a little ointment with a clean silver hairpin and rubbed it on Snow Goose's wrist.Then he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xueyan slowly washed off the white ointment on her hands with the prepared water.

"Big girl!" Xueyan made a sound like a screaming chicken: "There is really no trace at all! Big girl, it's amazing!"

Daiyu and Baoshi gathered around to watch, even Nanny Xia couldn't help paying attention.

Women, no matter what age they are, value their face and skin.Besides, the ancient ladies were not what Lin Jiang had imagined before. They didn't work hard and didn't distinguish between grain and grain. They lay down all day long and were fed when they ate.

On the contrary, in order to be virtuous and virtuous, they have many tasks.

For example, in needlework, the level of female celebrity is one of the important criteria for judging a girl's family, and as long as you do needlework, who hasn't been hurt by a needle or scissors?

Another example is washing hands and making soup to serve husbands and parents-in-law. It is not necessary for ladies to light fires and carry pots to do rough work, but they have to stand under the kitchen and do their own work to show their virtuousness, so there is inevitably a risk of burns.

The aristocrats with partial birth are the ones who pay the most attention to flawless skin.During the draft of this dynasty, it was stipulated that there should be no scars on the body.

If there is such a miraculous ointment... Mammy Xia has managed the shop of the Lin family, and has also run a pharmacy, and she felt excited: If such an ointment, it is really hard to buy!

There are many rich and powerful people in this world, and they know what is the most precious, no matter how much money they spend, they will not hesitate to prepare such a box for their home!

After all, apart from female family members, men are also interested in face-there are also regulations in the imperial examinations of this dynasty. Those with scars on their faces cannot participate in the Golden Palace Policy Discussion. Faces are unsightly and detrimental to the country's prestige, and many decent official positions are not acceptable.

If there is such a medicine, wouldn't they go bankrupt and buy it?

While Mother Xia was still thinking about it, Gemstone had already gone to close the door first.

Daiyu raised her head and said approvingly: "The gemstone is really careful. Only a few people in our room know about this medicine. Don't say a word when you go out, so as not to cause trouble for Sister Jiang."

Although it is from her maternal ancestral home, Daiyu is not good at telling the truth, but her heart is as bright as a mirror: With the snobbish eyes of the people in the Rongguo mansion and the chaos of the people in the mansion, Lin Jiang made such an astonishing feat. Once the news of the medicine spreads out of Lanzhi Academy, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion will definitely take advantage of it, and it will also be known by the servants of the Rongguo Mansion.

Bao Bao Xueyan quickly nodded in response, and Bao Bao said: "Girls, don't worry, even if I go to Lian's Second Grandma to ask for medicinal materials, I will only say that the girl is making a recipe for beauty."

This medicine is so good, if it is taken out directly, it may be risky, how to make it appear in front of the world properly, Daiyu has carefully planned for Lin Jiang in the past two days.

"It has to pass before His Majesty's eyes before Sister Jiang can take it out in a fair manner. It can be regarded as having a talisman."

Lin Jiang nodded: "Let's think about it together. In the past, the mints were like this. The ladies in the harem liked it, but it was not easy to come to me directly, so I sent various servants to hang around in the Tai Hospital three times a day. Trouble. I gave the prescription to the emperor, and let the emperor reward people."

She played with the medicine bowl in her hand: "It's just that this time, I can't give the prescription to the emperor, it's a bit embarrassing, I'm afraid the emperor would like to ask me for it." She couldn't take it out even if she wanted it.

Daiyu thought for a while: "If it is a life-saving medicine, the emperor will definitely care about the prescription, but this ointment is a life-saving medicine, and women care more about it. My sister has shared a lot of worries for the emperor. If you offer the prescription, the emperor may not be angry. What's more, my sister will not go to the emperor and say: the prescription is precious and you don't want to give it, just say that the medicine is very complicated to mix, and you need to do it yourself."

Lin Jiang nodded: "My sister is right, I really came here for this medicine myself."

Daiyu pondered again for a moment, and then said: "As the saying goes, rare things are the most precious, but I think it is the rare things that are precious. Otherwise, this family will come to ask for favors, and the other family will also come to ask for it. My sister is tired. Not to mention, if a party is not good, they will become enemies instead."

She looked at Lin Jiang and said, "My sister thinks that you can only make thirty boxes a year at most?"

After Lin Jiang figured it out, he immediately said: "Yes! I just want to say that the medicinal materials needed for this ointment are precious and complicated to make. Even if I am exhausted, I can only produce [-] boxes a year. And this first If it is made in a year, naturally the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and others will get it first, and the rest will not dare to open their mouths even if they want it, otherwise it would be arrogance."

Daiyu smiled: "It's just that the number of thirty boxes is not necessarily dead. Otherwise, if my sister suddenly wants to use this medicine and uses up the share of thirty boxes, wouldn't it be embarrassing? On the contrary, it will restrain her hands and feet."

Daiyu held her chin, her eyes were as clear as water: "Let's just say that this ointment is not only cumbersome to make, but the most important thing is that the medicine primer is from overseas, and it was found by the third uncle!"

The two stayed together for a long time, and they had a good understanding. At this time, Lin Jiang understood immediately, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yes, that's right! The medicine primers were found by my father from overseas, so there is no fixed number every year. There may be more this year, and next year. It may be less. It just depends on how much I want to make, and outsiders have nothing to say—for example, I made [-] boxes this year. If those relatives of the royal family want new ointments, don’t they dare to force me to go to the sea from the Tai Hospital to find it? ?” Then the Supreme Emperor was the first to cut people down.

"And if we need it urgently, we can just say that my father brought back a new medicine." Lin Jiang couldn't help pulling Daiyu up and turning around: "Thank you sister for thinking of these good ideas for me!"

Daiyu was pulled around by her twice, the hairpin was a little crooked, she quickly smiled and said: "Okay, I know my sister is used to wearing official uniforms, and she is used to not wearing jewelry on her head, but today you It’s not an official uniform, look, that jewel flower is about to fall!”

Speaking of which, La Lingjiang sat down: "Besides, how does this medicine pass the imperial court, what should I say in front of the emperor, I have to discuss it carefully with my sister, don't be happy for my sister."

Lin Jiang hurriedly poured tea for Daiyu himself: "Yes, my sister will practice with me the scene of entering the palace in the next day. Simulate a few more attitudes of the emperor, and I will be prepared."
