Song Yi

Chapter 318
Du Wenhao felt that what the woman said was true, so he didn't ask any more questions. Xue Feier was still thinking about going to take a bath, so she couldn't help asking: "Master, are there any ghosts in that pool?"

The woman quickly said: "Madam, you are so young and beautiful, the water monster in the pond must like it very much, you should not go, it is really dangerous..."

"Okay, don't confuse the public with gossip. What ghosts are just that you were sweating that day, and the water in the pool was too cold, so you and your sister-in-law got sick. When you sweat when you are hot, you naturally get sick, and ghosts What does it matter?" Although Du Wenhao's voice was not loud, his tone was stern, and the woman's expression changed after hearing this, so how could she dare to continue?
Du Wenhao saw that the weather was fine, the clouds were light and the wind was light, it was really a good weather, so he let Xue Fei'er and the others enter the tent to take a bath, seeing the worried look on the woman's face, he calmed down and said: "I am from the capital city. Come doctor, let me see your illness."

The woman saw that Du Wenhao was very grand, he was more than a simple doctor, she didn't dare to say no, she quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, thank you, young master."

"Don't call me young master, call me doctor, or a doctor is fine. Sit down, I will ask you a few questions, check your pulse and tongue, and prescribe medicine."

"I..., I don't have money to buy medicine."

"I have medicine, I'll give it to you, because you kindly reminded us that there are ghosts in the pool, it proves that you are a kind person."

"Hee hee, that's what everyone in the village says."

Du Wenhao asked about the history of the disease in detail, and learned that the peasant woman was cold all over and her legs were sore, especially her calf, which was stiff and unable to walk. Stretching for 15 years.

Du Wenhao carefully observed that his complexion was not bright, his forehead was low-grade fever, and he was found to have a headache, calf pain and swelling, dizziness, fatigue, anorexia, menstruation was normal, but the leukorrhea was dripping, and his tongue was pale and white. Pulse stringy.It should be caused by chronic illness, qi deficiency and fever, insufficient middle qi, and weak defense.I was going to use Buzhong Yiqi Decoction to remove the heat, but I always felt something wrong in my heart, and I didn’t know where it was wrong. Do you know what medicine it is?"

This woman has been tortured by this disease for 15 years. The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor. She immediately laughed and said: "I know, all kinds of medicines, which doctor did you ask?"

"Well..., this is the last one."

"It was prescribed by Li Langzhong in Dongcun. I have eaten it for two years, and I can memorize it. There are astragalus, ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cimicifuga, Bupleurum, Angelica, Baiwei, Chenpi, Qinghao, Digupi, Moxibustion herb."

Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this the addition and subtraction of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction? He was going to use this prescription to cure this woman's chronic illness. Unexpectedly, she has been taking it for two years, and it has no effect at all.Feeling a little hot on the face, he coughed lightly and asked, "Have you taken this medicine and it didn't work at all?"

"Yeah, I was very angry. I ran to scold Dr. Li, and he even waived my medicine fee."

"Then I can't cure your illness, so you still want to scold me?" Du Wenhao teased.

The woman blushed: "How dare I, Li Langzhong is a distant cousin of mine, that's why I dare to scold you. You are a high-ranking official from the capital, so I don't have the guts. Besides, you are kind enough to see a doctor for me? Give me medicine, even if it can't be cured, I shouldn't scold you. Which doctor can cure all diseases?"

"Hehe, it's good that you understand, but don't worry, I should be able to cure your illness." Du Wenhao said this, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, thinking about what went wrong with his previous thinking, thinking that under normal circumstances, Chronic illness and physical deficiency are normal, and the heat is mostly due to deficiency syndrome, especially qi deficiency. In this case, Buzhong Yiqi Decoction will definitely work. Since it does not work now, it means that it is not a deficiency syndrome.

You should know that chronic illness does not necessarily mean deficiency. There are also patients with excess syndrome and deficiency and cold. I am afraid that I have made a mistake in the previous syndrome differentiation.Immediately decided to inquire about the symptoms in detail, and re-examined to see if there was a mistake in the syndrome differentiation.

Du Wenhao asked her how she lived these years, and what she did when she was seriously ill. After asking for a while, she found that the woman often had alternating cold and heat when she had a low fever, and she also had a bitter mouth and dizziness.Immediately his eyes lit up——this is the certificate of Bupleurum Tang!Xiao Chaihu Decoction should be combined with Dayuan Drink to reconcile Shaoyang and clear up the evil of Moyuan!

Du Wenhao asked the maid to bring a pen and paper, wrote a prescription, and asked the maid to run to get the medicine.Then he said to the woman: "I'll give you a prescription, and I've prepared the medicine for you. Go back and take it consistently. It should be cured."

"Okay, thank you, young master!"

After sending the woman away, Du Wenhao walked to the side of the Wei tent, heard a burst of crisp laughter from inside the drapery, raised the curtain and looked inside, and saw several beauties only wearing underwear, Play in the water.Seeing the blood rushing, he simply took off his clothes and went down into the water. Now, the pool became full of laughter and squabbles.

Besides, after the woman took the medicine back, she told her family members, some said they couldn't eat it, and some said that anyway, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, eat and eat, the woman thought Du Wenhao was very kind, and he If you don't want anything for yourself, you shouldn't harm yourself, so you decide to decoct it.Unexpectedly, after taking only a few doses, the low-grade fever disappeared, and the headache, dizziness, and head pain were greatly relieved. After taking a few more doses, all symptoms disappeared, and there has been no recurrence since then.

The woman's family was very grateful, and they all said that it was the medicine king from the sky who came down to earth, so they set up a memorial archway at home, and burned incense every day to worship and pray for blessings.

--------
The brigade went forward for a few more days, and finally came to the boundary of Huangzhou.

When it was half a day away from the Huangzhou government office, the front team came to report that there were Huangzhou officials waiting to greet them at the farewell booth on the roadside.

It turned out that the Huangzhou Prefecture Yamen had been notified by the Ministry of Officials that there would be imperial envoys to pass on the imperial edict.People from the state government have been waiting here for several days, but they didn't expect Du Wenhao and the others to come slowly, so they waited here.Finally the wait came.

Du Wenhao accompanied Eunuch Ning to the ten-mile long pavilion, and saw a dozen officials standing in a long row, bowing and standing with hands folded.An old official, wearing a county official robe, stood first. When he saw Du Wenhao, who was wearing a fifth-rank official robe, and Ning Gonggong, who was wearing a eunuch uniform, he rushed up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Ye Yirong, a low-ranking official, bows to Huangzhou county captain." , on behalf of Master Zhizhou, came to welcome the mission. I dare not ask the two of you...?"

Li Pu stepped forward and introduced: "This is Eunuch Ning, the imperial envoy. This is the doctor in front of the imperial court, the cavalry captain of Si Wude in front of the palace of the Imperial Guard, and Du Wenhao, the officer in charge of Yazhou Gou on Chengdu Fulu Road. grown ups."

Ye Yirong immediately smiled all over his face, bowed his head and bowed vigorously: "The two adults have worked hard all the way. Wei Wende and Wei Zhizhou in Xiazhou led a county official and squire to wait in the city. The humble official has prepared some thin wine. Please rest for a while in the long pavilion before drinking Get dressed and go to town."

Eunuch Ning nodded: "Doctor Du, let's rest for a while."

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, General Li Pu, let the army rest in place for half an hour, then set off and set up camp outside the city."

Li Pu agreed and went down to deliver the order.

Du Wenhao and Eunuch Ning entered the gazebo together.The two yamen servants behind Ye Yirong hurriedly rode their fast horses back to report.

In the gazebo, a banquet has been set up, as well as melon and fruit snacks. The county captain Ye Yirong and the entourage officials stood next to each other with smiling faces and bowed their heads to toast Du Wenhao and introduce some basic information and customs of Huangzhou. Du Wenhao and Ning Gonggong They all had a good capacity for drinking, until the glass was dry, and Ye Yirong and others drank very frankly. A few officials who couldn't drink, made a splash on the spot and continued to accompany the wine.

An hour later, Du Wenhao and Eunuch Ning were a little fuzzy, while Ye Yirong and other officials were even more bleary-eyed, and their footsteps were a little unsteady.

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, let's go to the city."

From here on, you can no longer take a carriage, you have to change to an official sedan chair to put on a show.Eunuch Ning is an imperial envoy, his sedan chair walks in front, and the big inner guards beat the gong to clear the way.Du Wenhao followed behind, his guards were at the rear, and all the female relatives also changed to small sedan chairs and followed into the city.

At the gate of the city, Zhizhou Wei Wende was wearing the official robe of Zhizhou, and led a group of county officials and squires to wait.

Eunuch Ning's official sedan chair came to the gate of the city, and Wei Zhizhou and others hurriedly bowed to salute.Eunuch Ning just raised the car curtain and nodded: "There is no need to be too polite, is the incense table for receiving orders set up in the yamen?"

Wei Wende hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's ready, it's just..."

"What's wrong?" Eunuch Ning's expression darkened.

"Reporting to my father-in-law, Su Shi, Su Zizhan, who received the order, was seriously ill in bed, and his personnel affairs were unknown, so he could not come to receive the order."

Although Su Dongpo's name was Zizhan, although he was demoted to Huangzhou as a small official, he was a great writer after all, and Zhizhou was very polite when he mentioned him.

"What?" Eunuch Ning was stunned for a moment, and he came all the way to deliver the decree, but the person who received the decree fell ill.Du Wenhao also heard it, and hurriedly asked: "What about others?"

"It's resting at home."

Ning Gonggong said: "Hurry up and lead the way, take our family and Doctor Du to have a look!"

"Yes!" Wei Wende ordered the officials in charge of the reception to welcome Du Wenhao's wives and concubines and family to the post station to rest, and let the gentry go back to the yamen at night to attend a banquet on business, and then went to their own with several main officials of the yamen. The official sedan chair led the way, and led Du Wenhao and his party to turn around and go out of the city.

"Wait!" Eunuch Ning raised the car curtain and shouted again: "What are you doing outside the city?"

Wei Wende's official sedan stopped, he raised the curtain of the sedan chair and got off the sedan chair, bowed and replied, "Report to Eunuch, Su Zizhan lives on the east slope mountain outside the city."

"What? Isn't he the deputy envoy of regiment training? What are you going to do on the mountain?"

"This... Maybe it's his ambition in the countryside."

"What are you talking about! He is an official, not an old farmer! All right, let's go and have a look first."

A group of people headed out of the city, and soon after leaving the city, they began to go up the mountain.It is a small hill full of pine trees.

In a grove near the top of the mountain, there are several thatched houses. Behind the house is a vegetable field, planted with quiet fruits and vegetables. There is a small yard in front of the door. There are a few dustpans on the ground, and some wild vegetables are placed in it. or something.Two women were sitting on a stool, preparing wild vegetables.Two half-grown children sat on the floor and helped the two women tidy up.

Seeing a lot of people coming from the distance down the mountain, the older child stood up, pointed at them and said something, and then ran into the house. Immediately, a young man came out of the house, stood in front of the door and raised his hand to look up. .

Their sedan chairs stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and everyone got off the sedan chairs.

The boy had already walked out to the gate of the courtyard, and the two women also stood up, holding the child by their hands, and looking at them.

The young master recognized Wei Zhizhou, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Master Zhizhou is here!"

"Well, Mr. Su!" Wei Zhizhou returned the salute, and introduced to Du Wenhao and Ning Gonggong: "This is Su Zizhan's eldest son, Su Mai." He pointed to the two children who were looking outside the door and said: "That is The second son, Su Nai, and the third son, Su Guo."

The two women hurriedly let the children into the house, and then went forward to give a blessing to each other: "I will see Mr. Zhizhou."

Wei Zhizhou said to Eunuch Ning and Du Wenhao: "My lords, these are Su Zizhan's wives and concubines, both surnamed Wang. Mrs. Wang, these are Eunuch Ning and Imperial Physician Yang who came from the capital to deliver the imperial edict."

The second woman hurriedly owed her a blessing.

Du Wenhao took a look. These two women were relatively young, one looked about 30 years old, and the other was less than 20 years old, and their childishness had not faded away.

Wei Zhizhou cupped his hands and said, "How is brother Zizhan, are you at home?"

"Hey, I'm already sick like this, where else can I go. I'm lying on the bed in the back room, please come in quickly, my lords."

Du Wenhao entered the yard, and saw that the yard was indeed too simple. He glanced at the wild vegetables in the dustpan on the ground, and asked Wei Zhixian in a low voice, "They don't know how to eat this?"

Wei Zhixian looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Su Zizhanyue's salary is only five hundred cash, which is not enough to support a family of six. The three children are still young, and they can't help, so I told the Yamen , to reclaim wasteland on the east slope outside the city, and grow some food and things that can fill the stomach. Now is the time when the crops are not harvested, the stored grain is exhausted, and the crops in the field are just earing, so what if we don’t eat wild vegetables?"

"Aren't there fruits and vegetables in the backyard?"

"It was sold in the city to make money to support the family."

Du Wenhao was dejected. He never thought that Su Shi, a famous writer in history, would be reduced to eating wild vegetables.It seems that the Wutai poetry case really hit him hard enough.I don't know how his body is now, let's go in and have a look.

Du Wenhao and the others followed the two women into the house. The thatched hut was even more rudimentary. The big iron pot on the earthen stove had lost one ear, and the pot lid had cracked a few big cracks. The pot was steaming. Wen Hao took a look, and saw half a pot of wild vegetables boiled in the pot, mixed with some rice bran, tumbling with the hot water.

The original wife, Mrs. Wang, raised half of the curtain, and said to the back room: "My lord, the father-in-law, the royal doctor, and the magistrate of Wei County are here."

Du Wenhao took a look inside, and saw a bony middle-aged man lying on a wooden bed, with a messy beard on his chin, sunken eye sockets, covered with a thin quilt, and a wooden pillow under his head. Open your eyes with difficulty.

There were two children sitting on the edge of the bed, one was seven or eight years old, and the other was only three or four years old.He was staring at them with dark eyes.

Du Wenhao looked at this extremely frail middle-aged man, feeling in his heart, this is the Su Dongpo who wrote the famous story of "Going to the East" with high spirits?

Su Shi said intermittently: "Maier, hurry up..., help me up quickly, kneel down to receive the imperial edict...!" While speaking, he raised his head with difficulty, and tried to bend his elbows to prop up his body.

The eldest son, Su Mai, hastily stepped forward to support his father's back shoulder, ready to help him up.Du Wenhao said anxiously: "Don't move! Tell him to lie down quickly! Listen to Eunuch Ning first, and I'll see you later!"

After all, Du Wenhao reached out and pressed Su Shi's shoulder, making him lie flat, even though he sat down on the edge of the bed.

Eunuch Ning at the back smiled and said to Su Shi: "Zizhan, you are a good fortune teller, do you know who this is in front of you? He is the number one genius doctor today, the emperor's imperial physician, and the imperial servant's surname is Du Mingwen Hao." The word Yunfan is also true. With him here, even if King Yama comes, he can’t do anything to you, hehehe"

Hearing this, Su Shi's wife, Wang Runzhi, and his concubine, Wang Zhaoyun, were overwhelmed with surprise. They lifted their skirts and fell to their knees: "My lord, please save my master!"

Seeing this, the three children knelt down and kowtowed.

Du Wenhao hurriedly helped the child up, and at the same time said to the two women: "The two sisters-in-laws can't do this, please hurry up, although Yun Fan and Brother Zizhan have never met, but they have admired him for a long time, this time the emperor has come down again." I have issued the imperial decree to let brother Zizhan be my colleague, and I will definitely do my best to cure brother Zizhan's illness."

These few words immediately ignited the hopes in the hearts of Su Shi's family.This is not only because the chief physician, who is an imperial physician, came to treat him in person, and he is expected to recover. What is even more surprising is that after hearing Du Wenhao's words, the emperor seemed to reuse Su Shi's meaning.

They only heard the news that the imperial envoy was coming to deliver the decree, but they didn't know what it was about, so they kept wondering whether it was good news or bad news. Now that they heard it, they were sure that it must be good news, and they couldn't help but smile.

Ning Gonggong said: "Since brother Zizhan is sick, our family will take care of the rights and interests. Your eldest son will kneel down and accept the imperial edict for you."

Su Shi tried to smile: "Thank you..., thank you, father-in-law!"

The eldest son, Su Mai, was very clever, and hurriedly lifted his robe and fell to his knees.

Eunuch Ning coughed lightly, took out the golden scroll, unfolded it slowly, and read out the imperial decree in a sharp drake voice.Immediately, the imperial decree was handed over to Su Mai.Su Mai kowtowed to thank him, stood up, and handed the imperial decree to his father Su Shi on the bed.

Su Shi has heard clearly that the emperor named himself the magistrate of Yazhou on Chengdu Fulu.Before being demoted, Su Shi served as the prefect of Xuzhou, and now he is the prefect of Yazhou. From the perspective of rank, he has already returned to his original post. When he was excited, he couldn't help the tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes. With the help of his son Su Mai, he looked to the north , raised his hands in a bow with difficulty: "My humble minister..., thank the emperor for his kindness...!"

Ning Gonggong said: "It is natural that the emperor's kindness is mighty, but, brother Zizhan, if Du Yuyi hadn't strongly recommended you in front of the emperor, I am afraid that this imperial decree would not come down."

ah?Su Shi's family looked at Du Wenhao gratefully.

Eunuch Ning smiled and said: "Zizhan, you don't know yet, Yuyi Du is a doctor in front of the imperial court, and also a cavalry captain of Wude in front of the Forbidden Army. The people have unique insights. After listening to Du Yuyi's high-spirited remarks, the emperor immediately decided to seal Du Yuyi in charge of Yazhou Changpingcang, and let him implement his own new law in Yazhou. This new law is different from Wang Anshi's reform. After receiving the decree, Doctor Du strongly recommended you to the emperor as a colleague. Knowing the affairs of Yazhou, he said that you are a great scholar in the world, and your poems and songs are the best in ancient and modern times. Because of this face, I ordered you to be the magistrate of Yazhou. Do you understand?"

Before Su Shi finished listening, he was already in tears, choked with sobs and said to Du Wenhao: "Du Yuyi, what a humble job, how can he be able to be so loved by the imperial doctor? Great favor from the imperial physician! Cough cough cough..."

In agitated mood, Su Shi coughed violently.

His wife, concubine and son were about to kneel down, but Du Wenhao stopped him: "Don't! This is all the emperor's grace, and I don't have any credit for it. Now it's important to cure the illness and save the patient. Brother Zizhan, your illness is already yin fluid and you will lose your righteousness." The imminent danger cannot be delayed any longer."

After everyone heard this, they hurriedly backed away. Du Wenhao sat down on the edge of the bed again, looked at Su Shi carefully, saw that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his cheeks and cheekbones were burning red, and when he stretched out his hand, his tentacles were hot. He asked, "Do you feel cold?"

"Well, it's cold when I get up, and I'm sweating when I lie down."

"Put your tongue out and let me see."

Looking at the tongue image, the tongue is dry and crimson, and the coating is thin and burnt.Du Wenhao asked again: "What else is uncomfortable?"

"Left hypochondriac pain, cough, red sputum."

While talking, Su Shi coughed violently again, with ho-ho phlegm in his throat.The concubine Wang Chaoyun hastily took a piece of toilet paper to collect the phlegm for him, Du Wenhao took it and looked, sure enough, the phlegm was bloodshot.

Du Wenhao asked: "Do you cough and spit a lot every day?"

Su Shi kept panting, and his original partner, Wang Runzhi, helped him and replied, "Many, there are almost three teacups!"

Du Wenhao checked his pulse with his wrist, and found that Su Shi's left pulse was counted finely, while his right pulse was slippery and weak. He had already understood six or seven points in his heart, and asked immediately, "How long has this disease been?"

Wang Runzhi and Wang Chaoyun glanced at each other, thought for a while, Wang Runzhi said: "It should be around Gu Yu that he started to get sick. I asked a few doctors to look at them, but they didn't look well. Until now, the condition is getting worse and worse. ..." After speaking, Wang Runzhi's words choked up.

Du Wenhao looked up at the roof, and he could see the sky outside. He also looked at the wall made of planks and bark, and there were gaps everywhere. He sighed and said, "Brother Zizhan suffers from the cold in winter, right?" ?!"

Su Shi managed to stop his severe coughing, and said slowly: "Yes, this hut is really not enough to withstand the wind and cold. I have nothing to do, but they have suffered."

"What's wrong with you? Hey, that's how you got this disease. It's a spring fever disease. The root cause of the disease is the cold in the winter. The cold evil lurks in the camp. After the spring, you feel a new feeling. At that time, you were sick. At the beginning of the hair, it should be cold, hot and sweatless, right?"

"Yes," Su Shi was very surprised. It was really surprising that he could tell Du Wenhao his symptoms a few months ago at a glance.

"How did the doctor you found prescribe the medicine for you? Is the prescription still there?"

"Here!" The concubine Wang Chaoyun hurriedly said, "I'll show it to you!"

Wang Chaoyun finally found the prescription from the wooden cabinet in the corner, and hurriedly handed it to Du Wenhao.
