Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 21
Mrs. Deng questioned Mrs. Lin about inviting Mr. Hong, and Mrs. Lin pointed at the little Mrs. Deng who wished she could turn into dust and crawl into the cracks of the ground in a panic, and said, "Mother, Mr. Hong was invited by his wife to see a doctor for her."

Little Deng looked innocent, but she couldn't expose Lin's lies to her face.

Deng was so angry that she wanted to laugh, and asked: "She can walk dozens of miles back and forth to the town. What kind of disease does she see?"

Lin stammered: "She, she treats infertility. She has been flattened for two years since she was married. I spent money to ask Mr. Hong to treat her."

Xiao Deng has never been pregnant, and feels deeply guilty towards the Qu family. Lin pokes her sore spot, but doesn't hate Lin, and knelt weakly and wept silently.

Mrs. Deng asked Mrs. Deng to go out, gritted her teeth, stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Lin across the face, and said angrily, "You treat everyone else as blind and deaf. Hong Langzhong said in the village that you are a dreamer!"

Standing in the yard, Qu Kuaishou called Xiao Deng, and asked, "What's going on?"

Little Deng did not dare to disobey his grandfather, so he could only explain the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that the Lin family sent Xiao Deng to the town to invite Qu Langzhong, but Qu Langzhong went to Xiaoju Village for a visit, so Xiao Deng had to ask Hong Langzhong to visit Qu's house instead.

When Lin saw Langzhong Hong, she angrily scolded her for being insane and hired the wrong doctor.

When Hong Langzhong heard that this meant that his medical skills were not good, he felt angry and wanted to leave, but asked Lin to pay for the consultation fee.

How could Mrs. Lin let Mr. Hong go, let him feel the pulse, and learned that she was not pregnant, but had a bad stomach. She was very depressed and cursed at Mrs. Deng.

Mr. Hong thought that Mrs. Lin was scolding him, so he overcharged the consultation fee by ten copper coins.

Lin was so annoyed that she stood at the gate and threw fifty copper coins on Hong Langzhong, telling him to leave.

Mr. Hong picked up forty copper coins and hated Mrs. Lin for being mean, so he scolded her.

Lin became so angry and lost her mind that she zoomed in on the yellow dog to bite Mr. Hong, and Xiao Deng called the big yellow dog in time.

Hong Langzhong fled in embarrassment, met acquaintances at the entrance of the village, and angrily told them about the matter.

Now everyone in the village knows the trouble.

Qu Kuaishou had the best face, and was so angry that he didn't faint, and asked Deng to take all Lin's money.

Lin's feet had already been grounded, and money was also banned. She was so angry that she vomited several mouthfuls of blood that night and passed out.

Qu Kuaishou and his wife were afraid that Mrs. Lin would die, so they invited Qu Langzhong to prescribe medicine for her. Not to mention spending three taels of silver, they were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger.

One afternoon in late autumn, the sky was cloudy with drizzle, and the weather was extremely cold.

The stove in the corner of the main room of the Li family was burning with charcoal fire, and the purple sand medicine jars on the stove were gurgling white mist, and the pleasant fragrance of orange peel wafted through the whole room.

Wearing a gray coat, Mrs. Deng sat beside Mrs. Qu, complaining with a sad face, "What did I do wrong in my previous life? In this life, I have such a daughter-in-law."

Qu's hands were doing needlework, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

Mrs. Deng came here to pour out the bitterness, and said to herself: "I don't ask for anything else now, as long as she can survive the spring of tomorrow and finish the imperial examination with Duo Yazi."

Qu put down her sewing, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, you ask my brother to beg the hall brother."

Deng asked suspiciously, "Why do you beg him?"

Qu said in a low voice: "The big hall brother is the steward of the Taiqing temple. He will speak to the doctors in the temple and prescribe some life-saving medicines for the long-term customers."

Deng gratefully said: "Thank you sister for reminding me."

Qu Kuaishou and his wife entrusted the eldest son of the old patriarch to send Lin, who was so sick that his face was pale, to Taiqing Temple.

There are three medical practitioners and one medicine practitioner in the temple.There are hundreds of people seeking medical treatment and medicine every day. If it weren't for the eldest son of the old patriarch, the Lin family wouldn't be able to make it to the season.

An unsmiling middle-aged medical doctor spent half a quarter of an hour diagnosing Lin's pulse, and Fang cautiously prescribed the medicine.

Qu Kuaishou paid a hundred copper coins for the consultation fee, and his heart ached when he saw the medicinal materials "ginseng and deer antler" on the prescription, and he had to spend a lot of money to ask the Taoist for medicine with the prescription.

The Taoist medicine man looks like he is in his forties, he is moody and short-tempered, he is the only Taoist priest who knows how to make medicine in the temple, and his medicine skills are very good, he dares to scold the temple master when there is a shortage of medicinal materials.

He didn't want to show the face of the old patriarch's son in charge of affairs at all, but he agreed to make medicine for Li Yunqing's sake, and he didn't take any money.

Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts.Some of Li Yunqing's previous grievances towards the Taoist Yao disappeared, and he was full of gratitude in his heart, and he will pay more attention to guarding the medicine garden in the future.

Qu Kuaishou and his wife were very grateful to Li Yunqing, and took Lin back to Qujia Village.

Three days later, Li Laoshi carefully handed over the seven pills prepared by Yao Taoist to Qu Kuaishou, and told him to take one pill every seven days.

Lin took the black pill that was as big as a jujube, and the next day her face turned red, and three days later she recovered as before.

Li Jingjing deliberately asked Qu Kuaishou to take a look at the pills on a day when Qu Kuaishou was in a very good mood.

Qu Kuai took out the white porcelain box and opened it, saying, "Sister Jing, look at the medicine made by Taoists."

"It's such a big one, it's like an elixir!" Li Jingjing held the box in both hands, carefully placed it on the stool, and sniffed it lightly.

In her previous life, she only saw ancient pills in books, but in this life, she was able to witness them with her own eyes, especially the pills made by a highly skilled medicine practitioner, and she was very excited.

In ancient times, there were no machines, and medicine was made by hand.The same prescription, made by several pharmacists, has different efficacy.

Qu Kuaishou praised very piously: "The medicine man is very skilled in medicine, and the pills he made will cure the disease. Your aunt will be fine after taking the pills in a few days."

Surprise flashed in Li Jingjing's eyes, and she returned the box to Qu Kuaishou.

Lin's body is extremely weak, but the pills are extremely nourishing.Like ice water meeting fire.If Lin ate seven of these pills, he could live up to three years.

For the self-inflicted Lin, if he didn't take the medicine of Taiqingguan, he might not live for half a year.

Taiqingguan's pills prolong Lin's life, which shows that the medical practitioners who prescribe the prescriptions are skilled in medicine, and the medicinal practitioners who prepare them are exquisite in medicine.

She secretly respects the doctors and pharmacists in this world.

Autumn and winter in Tanzhou area alternate long and long. In winter, there is always drizzle in the sky. If the temperature does not drop, people will mistakenly think that it is still autumn.

In the medicine garden of Taiqingguan, there often appears a handsome young man in a coir raincoat, carefully cleaning up the weeds, and covering them with dry straw and herbs that are afraid of the cold.

The medicinal herb is very delicate, and after careful care by the young man, no one died even after two snowfalls in a month.

At the end of October, Li Laoshi returned home with a wheelbarrow full of food.

The end of the year is about to enter, and it will be the busiest time of the year for Taiqingguan, and the next time he comes back will be at the end of the twelfth lunar month.

Li Yunxiao has already been taught to read and write by the He family, but he is still naughty, and asked: "Father, why hasn't big brother come back this time?"
