Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 16 Mother and Son
Xue Tiannan didn't appreciate it, and stared at her impatiently, "I have to review the book this afternoon, so don't bother me, I didn't read a single word that I made you toss about this morning."

Mrs. Liu froze, with some hesitation on her face.

Because I was thinking about what Su Tong said, the man in the family who is full of yang, and himself is blood relatives. Naturally, there is only the eldest son. Sending supplements, playing fans, buying braziers and other excuses, dragged the sick body to the study to stay with his son.

Xue Tiannan was so bored at first that he refused to let his own mother in, but Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it anymore, and faintly revealed what Su Tong said.

Xue Tiannan listened to these naughty words, although she sneered and didn't take it seriously, but seeing that Mrs. Liu was there to serve her and made her study more comfortable, she finally let her in.

Not to mention, after leaving the bedroom like this, although Liu Shi was still tired and her hands and feet were limp, her headaches were relieved to some extent. Before, she couldn't help but cry out from the pain. Although she also suffered from the pain a few times today, it was not that bad after all. Seriously, not as often as in the past.

She would never have thought that someone had tampered with her in her room. If she left the bedroom, staying anywhere would relieve her a little bit. She only felt that what Su Tong said was very reasonable, and she felt more about Su Tong so far. Kind of trust.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu looked at her son's gloomy face, sighed inwardly, lowered her voice, and said with a little pleading: "Mother, don't talk, I won't bother you."

"Trouble!" Xue Tiannan looked disgusted, but after all, it was his own mother, she didn't say anything outrageous, she lowered her head, and picked a few pieces of perch to eat.

Liu graciously changed a pair of clean chopsticks to pick the thorns for him. In fact, the meat of this sea bass is delicate, except for one big thorn, there are very few small thorns, so how can anyone else pick it?

After casually eating a few mouthfuls of food, Xue Tiannan threw away the chopsticks, casually took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and casually said: "I have something to go out this afternoon, and I won't come back for dinner tonight, give me some money."

Liu Shi was startled: "Money?"

"What are you talking about, how can we get together without money?" Xue Tiannan waved his hand impatiently, "Don't look so unlucky, it's an eyesore!"

Liu's lips twitched, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Yes, yes, Tian Nan went out to socialize, so he couldn't short the money." Then, he took out a purse from his sleeve, and carefully took out two slings of money.

But Xue Tiannan couldn't wait, snatched the whole purse without looking at it, put it in his arms, left the bowl and chopsticks, got up and left.

Surprised, Mrs. Liu staggered after two steps, and shouted: "Be careful outside, don't argue with people, add more clothes, don't forget the umbrella, there may be rain and snow these few days."

But Xue Tiannan had already slammed the door out, how could he hear him!
Su Tong sat aside, noticing the interaction between the two women from the corners of his eyes and brows, and sighed in his heart - in this era, it is actually not uncommon for scholars like this to eat and use what they have at home, and they have nothing to do with themselves He has not earned a single penny, and has no achievements in his studies, but he still prides himself on being noble and arrogant, and looks down on his relatives who use all their strength to support their own studies, just because they are a bunch of people who can't read a single word, and a student like him, Talented people are not all the way!

The so-called imperial examinations are such a narrow single-plank bridge. This is not the era when stereotyped essays were prevalent in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the imperial examination system was rigid. People like this still want to be named on the gold list?

Su Tong sneered: If this person can be hit, God doesn't have eyes!

Although she has just arrived here, she understands in her heart that in the prosperous Song Dynasty, although the achievements of scholars do not depend entirely on virtue, this virtue is definitely more important than knowledge.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't care about it at all, Xue Min and Erlang also looked accustomed to it, knowing that Xue Tiannan's behavior in front of him was no longer a day or two, Su Tong slowly picked a few green vegetable leaves and put them in his younger brother's bowl Here, he lowered his head, not watching this farce - if his father or fourth uncle were here, he would be able to simply calculate Xue Tiannan's fate without having to make divination.

It must be that nothing in life is unbearable!

After dinner, Su Tong asked Erlang to go back to his room to study, and he packed up and went to work in Qingchun Hall.As for Mrs. Liu, if this person is really greedy for money and so cruel that he doesn't even care about his own life, then she can only admit it.

Today, as soon as Su Tong entered the gate of Qingchun Hall, he was stunned for a moment. The doctor sitting in the hall was actually a different person, and he was still an acquaintance.

Dr. Sun Changqing, a well-known young doctor in Xixi Town.

Sun Changqing naturally also saw Su Tong. In fact, a beauty like Miss Su may not be particularly conspicuous in Kaifeng and other big cities, but in Xixi Town, she is definitely like a night pearl emerging from a group of gravel. It was difficult to pay attention, but he turned a blind eye to her, not even glancing at her out of the corner of his eye. He seemed quite indifferent, but he was very gentle to patients and other people in the pharmacy.

Su Tong saw with his own eyes that this stereotyped doctor showed a warm smile and carefully took the pulse of an old woman with gray beard and hair.

"Mr. Chen's grandson and granddaughter-in-law came from the countryside, and he went to take care of them for a while. Dr. Sun and my elder brother are best friends, and they will be sitting here for the time being."

Seeing Su Tong looking at Dr. Sun in astonishment, the female shopkeeper explained with a rare smile that she was quite satisfied with having this doctor in her pharmacy.

Dr. Sun's charm is not small, Qingchun Hall was already busy enough, but when he came, he was even busier than before, even with Su Tong's ability, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to take a breather.

When the sun went down, there were finally fewer patients in the shop. Su Tong emptily wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and moved her fingers. She felt that if this continued, her slender fingers would be ground into thick calluses by the pen. , looked around, there were only three patients left, she breathed a sigh of relief, sat down quietly, made herself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.

I don't know the origin of this Qingchun Hall, the tea used to entertain guests is all high-quality, and Su Tong himself also likes tea, although the tea in this era is really not the right taste, but it is better than nothing.

While they were resting, there was a sudden noise outside, two men dressed in short clothes carried a door panel, and rushed into the gate of Qingchun Hall panting.

As soon as he entered the door, the taller, thinner one shouted loudly: "Doctor, doctor, help me! Doctor, save my brother..."

Su Tong raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a man lying on the door panel, sweating profusely, with a white face, swollen body, and a bulging belly.

If it wasn't for him being a man, Su Tong would almost have thought that this man was pregnant.
