Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 119 Help
"Besides, I saw that although the young lady's clothes were ordinary, and her hair was never covered with emerald jewels, the available things were very unusual. After washing her face, she even put some transparent essence on her face. The smell was refreshing. We were there in the capital. I haven’t seen it in a few years, so it’s obviously a novelty.”

The young man of the Zhou family nodded thoughtfully, "Since it is a distinguished guest, let's treat it well, maybe there will be room for us to borrow our strength in the future." A family like them is always used to being kind to others, and they believe that they have more than one friend. Even if the little lady of the Zhou family is too sick to get out of bed now, under such a dangerous situation, the young gentleman of the Zhou family is still not anxious to the point of losing ground.

Xiaoying agreed, and when she turned around, she asked the cook to cook some delicious dishes and send them to the distinguished guests.

If Su Tong knew that the people of the Zhou family treated her like a lady because she used a little 'aloe vera juice', he might not know whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, what she usually uses is the homemade cosmetics made by the maids at home, and she is young and does not need maintenance. She thinks that in this era, apart from the lead-containing rouge, the quality of natural rouge powder is not only not bad, but also very rare. She didn't even think about making some cosmetics by herself.

Of course, a woman with a background in science and engineering has also studied pharmaceuticals. Although it is not easy to get some cosmetics, it is not impossible, but she has never felt that there is not enough rouge and powder. I thought that Shandong should be a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to support people, but I never thought that along the way, not only Su Tong, but also her father and the female servants at home were not used to it, their hands and feet were chapped and their skin was rough. It becomes rough and sometimes it is hot and painful.

Miss Su can only sigh, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Later, she thought that among the things packed and taken away this time, there were some simple equipment, distillation vessels and so on. , I found some plants that are good for the skin, and while she was free on the road, I made a bunch of skin care products for myself, most of which were not very successful, because she thought they were successful. The maids didn't like it either.

In the end, there are still a small number of them that are very popular, and Su Tong himself thinks it is good, at least after applying it on the skin, it will have a certain protective effect, even if it is only a psychological effect.

Su Tong and Ah Zhen rested in the room for a while, and a young man sent by Su Wencheng stood outside, "Mr. Lang has already thanked the master himself, and asked the young lady to take a rest for a while. When the weather clears, let's go again." Let's go."

Ah Zhen walked out the door with a smile and chatted with the boy, Su Tong simply took out the book and started reading by candlelight, but the room was made of wood and stone, it was really dark, and it was still early before dark outside Very soon, candles were lit in the house again, but because the clouds were overcast and the rain continued, it was difficult to open the windows, so the light in the house was still dim.

For the sake of her own eyes, Su Tong only looked at it twice, and then stopped looking at it again. Although she tried to find a way, she couldn't grind the mirror surface of the myopia mirror, but which girl would want to harm her eyes for no reason?

In the 21st century, after studying for many years, she had more than 300 degrees of myopia. Later, when she came to the United States, she underwent surgery and it was cured. But since then, Miss Su’s habit of using a notebook for reading and writing has suddenly changed. It's much better, and I have taken better care of my eyes since then.

The heavy rain was pouring down and the wind was howling. A Zhen and Su Wencheng's servant had a few words, just in time to see Xiao Ying who had come to bring fruit to their master and servant. The two of them entered the door together, and saw Su Tong lying on the table bored Blow the tea leaves in the teacup.

Ah Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Su Tong looked up and saw an outsider, but he didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment, and smiled generously.

She was already bored, and it wasn't time to go to bed at night, so she couldn't even carry out the study and research activities she was most interested in at the moment, so she seemed lazy, which was normal.

Xiaoying originally had a smile on her face, but seeing that people don't care about it now, it's not easy to make a joke, so she just said: "Little lady, she must be bored all the way, why don't you eat some fruit to quench your thirst, and let my slave play with you?" Shuanglu to relieve boredom?"

"Shuanglu is too much brain work, since it's leisure, how about playing dice?"

When Su Tong opened his mouth, others would naturally not ignore him, so Xiaoying called another envoy named Xiaoyi, and the four of them sat at the table and played the 'Midnight Picture' together.

Playing a game, Su Tong has nothing to do, it's just to pass the time, and Ah Zhen has nothing to do along the way, and she is very bored. She is having a great time playing now, and she keeps sighing: "Morning!" Knowing that the road is so boring, we should have brought a set of Go, a dice or something, and something to do to pass the time."

Xiaoying quickly promised that there were a lot of things in the house, and she asked Ah Zhen to take them away, until Ah Zhen blushed and shook her head again and again.

To take shelter from the rain is to disturb others, so how can I owe favors.

However, Su Tong felt more and more that the owner of the family in front of him seemed to be a kind and generous man, and even his servants were so hospitable. If the people in Qingzhou were like this, his father's work would be much easier to do.

Not long after, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Xiaoying was taken aback, and hastily confessed, apologetically saying: "Little lady, sister Azhen, slave..." She was also in a dilemma, she should have been here to accompany the guests according to her little lord's instructions, but now The two masters of the family are away from home, and her young lady is ill again, so she is unavoidably uneasy.

Su Tong smiled, put away the dice, got up and said, "Why don't you go and have a look together? I'm under the care of your little man, and I haven't come to thank you in person. It's really rude."

In fact, she heard that the young lady of this family was ill, and wondered if she could help a little. Although this family had already invited a doctor, since they were taken care of by others, if they could do what they could, they would always I need to reach out and help out.

Xiaoying couldn't care so much, so she said some polite words, anxious in her heart, and didn't bother to persuade her, so she hurriedly took Xiaoyi and Su Tong and other masters and servants out, but as soon as she went out, she saw the maids and servants outside, making a fuss They ran around all over the place, some went outside, some went into the house, and some ran to the kitchen.

It was raining heavily, and these people ran around all the way, even with umbrellas and coir raincoats, they were covered in water, and they were in such a panic that even Su Tong and A Zhen were splashed with water, staining their clothes.

Xiaoying and Xiaoyi were obviously terrified, grabbed a female envoy who was carrying a water basin and rushed into the room, and said anxiously: "Xiaoyuan, what's going on? What's going on here?"

The chubby female envoy who was caught was so anxious that she stumbled and couldn't speak clearly: "Sister Xiaoying, our little lady is not doing well, and she is talking nonsense. The doctor is helpless. wonderful."

Hearing the words, Xiaoying staggered and his face turned pale: "How could it be so... how could it be so..."

She ran all the way, Su Tong and A Zhen looked at each other and followed quickly.

Su Tong walked to the door of the main room, but saw her father was also sitting in the hall. Seeing Su Tong, Su Wencheng whispered: "Why is Ah Tong here? Hey, it seems that we arrived at the wrong time, my master The house is very busy, so I will leave as soon as it rains, so as not to cause more trouble. By the way, I remember that you know some medical skills, Ah Tong. Why don't you go to others to see if you can help? Give us a treat."

"My daughter also means the same thing, but I don't know if I can help." Su Tong thought for a while, and walked to the door of the bedroom with his father, and said loudly, "I also have a rough knowledge of medicine, so I dare to ask Mr. Shall I go in and see how the little lady in your mansion is doing?"

Not long after, a young man of sixteen or seventeen opened the door and came out in person. His face was a bit impatient, but his expression was quite calm. As soon as he went out, he rushed to Su Tong and said, "Thank you, little lady Gao Yi, if the little lady doesn't mind, please come in."

Su Tong was also polite, and walked into the room, and sure enough, he saw a six or seven-year-old girl lying on the bed, sweating all over, with her eyes closed, but she kept crying.

Going up and touching the child's forehead, it was very hot. Su Tong felt her pulse, but her method of diagnosing the pulse was mediocre, and she could only be regarded as a beginner. She was a child, and it was even more difficult to diagnose. She thought about it Thinking, asked: "Did you drink medicine?"

The young gentleman nodded and offered to give the prescription. It seemed that he was not very wary of the woman Su Tong had just met. "Doctor Wang prescribed the medicine, but it didn't work after taking it."

Su Tong looked at it, and felt that the medicine prescribed by the doctor was still suitable for the symptoms, but maybe it was for the child's illness, and the dose of the medicine was a little smaller. Su Tong's own understanding of Chinese medicine was probably far inferior to that of the old doctor.

After pondering for a moment, Su Tong finally said: "If Mr. Xiao Lang trusts me, please hurry up and find some willow branches."

The little man was startled, and didn't say much, and immediately asked the maid beside him to find willow sticks. He knew that there were many secret recipes that required special medicine primers to prepare them, and he thought that this little lady might want to use Willow sticks dispensed the medicine, and I felt a little more trust in Su Tong.

Moreover, his sister is so ill, and his parents are not at home. He doesn't show much on the surface, but in fact, he has lost his mind. He sent someone to hire another famous doctor. It's raining and he doesn't know when the doctor will arrive. Su Tong and Su Wencheng The father and daughter, judging from their words and deeds, they really don't seem to be unreliable people.

Su Tong nodded without explaining. He just asked people to soak water with willow bark and poured a lot of it into the little lady. Then he went to get his own medicine box, took out the alcohol from it, mixed it with water, and then asked someone to give it to him. The child wiped his body, just because of this child, Su Tong didn't dare to use alcohol that was too irritating, and he didn't dare to let people wipe it randomly, so he explained all the steps in detail.

The young man of the Zhou family was relieved to see that Su Tong was calm and commanded properly. Whether it works or not, it is better than a messy family.
