pinnacle of power

Looking at Mr. Tang's expectant eyes, Liu Qingyu hesitated.

To be honest, although Liu Qingyu is more fond of Chinese studies, especially Confucianism, and will study the classics of Chinese studies seriously when he is free, but if he is asked to learn from a teacher, he really has no such idea, because his usual He is too busy with work, so he has no time to study. Apprenticeship is at most a matter of name and appearance, but for Liu Qingyu, he is a very pragmatic official, and he does not need to go through this kind of apprenticeship. form to decorate the facade.

However, Mr. Tang is over 80 years old, his hair and beard are all white, and he took the initiative to accept himself as an apprentice. If he disagrees, it will be a bit disrespectful to Mr. Tang. Liu Qingyu is usually a person who knows how to respect and love the elderly. As a young man, he didn't want to embarrass Elder Tang, not to mention that this meeting was facilitated by Qin Shuai, and Qin Shuai always thought far-reaching in everything he did.And always think about yourself.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, you have to learn from a teacher.

Seeing that Liu Qingyu was still hesitating, Elder Tang felt even more depressed.However, this also just aroused Mr. Tang's vigorous fighting spirit.

People say that old children are old children, and there is some truth to this.

Old Tang twisted his white beard and rolled his eyes a few times, then said with a smile, "Liu Qingyu, how about we make a bet?"

Liu Qingyu asked: "Bet? What bet?"

Tang Laodao: "Let's just bet that after you accept me as your teacher, within half a year, your knowledge of Chinese studies can be greatly improved. I will make you an expert in the field of Chinese studies, and I also know that you are an official. Seeing that you are about 30 years old, with your intelligence, you will have to be at the director level at the last time, maybe even at the deputy department level. The usual work must be very busy, and I don’t have high demands on you. Take two hours out on Monday, come to my house, and study with me. I will teach you in a variety of ways.

Half a year later, I will organize a grand meeting of Chinese studies. At that time, I will invite everyone in the field of Chinese studies well-known across the country to participate in this event. At that time, many top masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will gather in Jiangnan Province. Everyone in Jiangnan will discuss swords. In the national learning event, your level will not only be truly tested, but you will also learn a lot.

Of course, within the six months, you must study with an open mind and not be half-hearted, otherwise, if I feel that you have no desire to learn, I will expel you without hesitation.How about it, Liu Qingyu, do you dare to make this bet with the old man? "

After finishing speaking, Elder Tang looked at Liu Qingyu proudly.

Liu Qingyu suddenly laughed out loud.

Mr. Tang is really a wonderful person. In order to accept himself as an apprentice, he even used aggressive methods.It's really an old child.But from this angle, Liu Qingyu also saw that Mr. Tang admired him.He believed that even Qin Shuai's profound Chinese knowledge was not included in Tang Lao's door, which was enough to show that Tang Lao had strict requirements for selecting apprentices.

Now Mr. Tang actually thought carefully in order to accept himself as a disciple. This old man is really very cute.

Liu Qingyu smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Tang, I've made your bet. From now on, as long as I'm not on a business trip, I promise to spend 2 hours a week at your home to study Confucianism with you, etc. Chinese culture. I hope you can give me more advice."

Elder Tang immediately opened his eyes and smiled, and directly picked up the teacup and drank it down. This is a rare gaffe for an old gentleman who is always particular.

Qin Shuai said dissatisfiedly next to him: "Old Tang, you are too biased, I have known you for many years, I have always wanted to worship within your door, you will not accept anything At most, you are only willing to give me a registered disciple, but Liu Qingyu just saw you and you accepted him as a disciple. You are too partial, aren't you? I am not convinced!"

Elder Tang patted Qin Shuai on the shoulder lightly and said, "Xiao Qin, don't be convinced. I know that your current knowledge of Chinese culture must be better than Liu Qingyu, but you are a person who has learned quite a lot. Complex, especially you are extremely proficient in the field of medicine, and you usually study this area quite deeply, and a person's energy is limited, so although you also like Chinese studies and Confucianism, but in With limited energy, it is impossible for you to make great progress in Confucianism and become a master of a generation.

But Liu Qingyu is different. Don't think he is inferior to you now, but I can guarantee that after half a year, you will definitely not be able to compare with him in terms of Confucianism attainments.He will gradually catch up with you in other knowledge levels of Chinese studies, so don’t be unbalanced here, kid, and study your medicine well. For you, Chinese studies can improve your understanding of our traditional medicine The level can only be used as your auxiliary factor, and the medical field is what you have to study to the extreme.When, like Sun Simiao, Zhang Zhongjing, Ge Hong, Huang Pumi, Li Shizhen, Qian Yi, Ye Tianshi, and Zhu Zhenheng, you can start a school in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, that is the pinnacle of your life. "

Qin Shuai immediately drooped his head.

This request of Mr. Tang was too much of a blow to him. Any one of these people Mr. Tang mentioned would definitely be an absolute master who established a school in the history of Chinese medicine in China. Realm, it is too difficult, too difficult.

At this time, Li Chuang who was standing next to him suddenly said, "Old Tang, I know most of the people you just mentioned, but who are Huang Pumi and Zhu Zhenheng?"

Elder Tang glanced at Li Chuang and explained with a smile: "This Huang Pumi is a medical scientist in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and his book "A and B Classics of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" is the first monograph on acupuncture and moxibustion in China. The achievement of moxibustion occupies a very high academic position in the history of acupuncture and moxibustion. As for Zhu Zhenheng, he is also very remarkable. He is one of the four great masters in the history of Chinese medicine, Jin and Yuan. On the basis of classic works such as "Question" and "Nanjing", he visited famous doctors and learned from Liu Wansu's second son, Luo Zhiti, and became a generation of famous doctors who integrated the strengths of various families. , attacking evils, nourishing the middle and nourishing qi and other methods, it is still suspected that the method of nourishing yin has not been prepared. It strongly advocates the theory of "yang is always surplus, and yin is often insufficient", affirming the importance of yin qi and essence of the human body, so it is called The founder of the 'Yin Nourishing School'. Zhu Zhenheng's clinical treatment has extraordinary effects, and there are many cases where heals immediately after taking the medicine without the need for a follow-up visit, so people called it 'Zhu Yitie' at that time."

Li Chuang's eyes widened: "No way? Can a dose of medicine cure it?"

Qin Shuai smiled and said: "Li Chuang, this does exist in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Many diseases that often require injections and medication for a long time in the field of western medicine cannot be cured. , It is not impossible to achieve a cure with one patch. Of course, doctors who can reach this level are rare. Moreover, in modern society, although Chinese medicine is very effective for certain diseases, Western medicine also has its strengths. The two learn from each other. This is the gospel for the sick."

Li Chuang nodded.He suddenly discovered that he was very unique in the circle formed by Mr. Tang, Liu Qingyu, and Qin Shuai.

But there is no way, who made his knowledge so much worse than these three.Fortunately, Li Chuang is an open-minded person. He knows where his advantages are and what he should do. After asking this question that puzzled him, he stopped talking.

The rest of the time was spent chatting with Elder Tang, Liu Qingyu, and Shuai Qin. During this chat, Shuai Qin also asked Elder Tang for some questions that he was usually confused about.

Sometimes, there is a reason why Mr. Tang is so valued by Shuai Qin. Many things that Shuai Qin could not understand in the field of Chinese medicine came to Mr. Tang for comparison and analysis, and Shuai Qin's doubts were quickly resolved.This is where the charm of Chinese studies lies, and the traditional Chinese medicine in China is developed on the basis of the Yin-Yang theory of Chinese studies.

The three of them were chatting, time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

At this time, Elder Tang's cell phone rang, and Elder Tang took out his cell phone and connected the call.

"Dad, where are you? I'll go pick you up." A woman's dissatisfied voice came from the phone.

Elder Tang chuckled: "Oh, Xiaomei, I'm at Songtao Teahouse, come here."

After hanging up the phone, Elder Tang smiled at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai: "It's almost time, I have to go back, or my daughter will be angry."

Liu Qingyu said: "Mr. Tang, let's take you back directly."

Elder Tang waved his hand: "No need, the teahouse is near my neighborhood, and my daughter can walk here in a few minutes."

Less than 5 minutes after Mr. Tang finished speaking, the door of the teahouse opened, and a woman who looked 37 or [-] years old walked in.

Seeing this person, Liu Qingyu was taken aback for a moment.

And the woman was also stunned when she saw Liu Qingyu sitting face to face with her father.

At this time, Old Tang smiled and said to the woman: "Xiaomei, come here, let me introduce you, this person is Liu Qingyu, he is my new apprentice, my closed disciple, and your younger brother. You have to take good care of him, this kid has great potential and is also very kind, don't bully him."

Liu Qingyu saw the woman on the opposite side in a daze, so he smiled and walked forward, cupped his fists respectfully and said, "Senior Sister, please take care of Junior Brother in the future."

The woman on the opposite side saw Liu Qingyu cupping his fists and bowing to her, and quickly returned the salute and said, "You are too polite, junior brother, we still need to take care of each other in the future."

Afterwards, the woman left with the smug old Mr. Tang.

After leaving the teahouse and walking a certain distance, the woman asked suspiciously: "Dad, how did you know Liu Qingyu?"
