Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 169 News
It was a coincidence that Su Tong came back just in time for the bell to ring and the exam was over.

Amidst the wailing, the students who had been scorched outside and tender inside by A Xia finally suffered so much and escaped, regardless of their grades, they must relax after the exam.

As soon as he went out, he could smell the sweet fragrance, so he threw himself in front of his own mountain chief, and attacked the honey fruit ferociously. Almost in the blink of an eye, two bags of honey fruit were looted.

Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glanced at A-Xia: "Mr. Chen Mo complained about the lack of cooks, saying that ten people in their workshop eat more food than fifty others. I think the consumption of us mental workers is actually It’s no worse than their manual laborers at all, it’s really better than eating, and I don’t know who can beat who.”

A-Xia has long turned a blind eye to Miss Su's occasional new words and listened to them. Even if she hasn't heard them before, she can generally understand what they mean, so there's no need to make a fuss.

After waiting for a long time, Erya came back, went to the kitchen and got a big bowl of Yuanxiao, black sesame mixed with white sugar, sweet and delicious, she swallowed one at a time, put the rest on the table, and poked it aside angrily Staring at Su Tong.

At the door just now, the pair of men and women turned their backs to Su Tong and the others, and they were not familiar with the carriage, so naturally they didn't recognize them, but Erya knew Su Tong was there when she saw the coachman.

Seeing Er Ya's accusation, Su Tong couldn't help laughing: "Very troublesome?"

Er Ya rolled her eyes: "You didn't see that, just now that woman was crying so pitifully, I was almost beaten up as a villain who bullied weak women, if our academy had a good reputation in the local area, I guess I I’m really going to be beaten up, that’s it, those two haven’t left yet, it looks like they are going to depend on us.”

A-Xia frowned: "Little lady, why don't you just take a trip. In the past, when the people around were sick, it was not uncommon for you to come to the door in person."

This is the truth.

There are two students in their school who are very talented in studying medicine, one is 16 years old, and Su Tong is in the same family, Su Zheng, who came from Taizhou to join Su Wencheng, and the other is Xiao Yao.

As for Su Zheng, Su Tong planned to teach him some basic knowledge, and then he would send him to a relatively famous medical center in Qingzhou to be an apprentice. If he succeeds in his studies in the future, he will be able to earn a living.

In this era, a doctor is a respected profession, even a barefoot doctor, and his status is not low. This kid Su Zheng is not good at reading, and he has no talent in the Four Books and Five Classics. Even students who are several years younger than him are inferior. I can't, but my brain is still very flexible, and I have a unique skill, a tongue, a nose, and can identify all kinds of flavors.

It is said that when he was at home, his mother was sick and took medicine for half a month, and he didn't go out of his way to serve the soup, but after half a month, the doctor changed the prescription, and he smelled it immediately, Su Zheng at that time, But I don't know anything about medicine, and I haven't read a single medical book.

Su Tong herself feels envious. Her tongue and nose are also good, and it's easy to distinguish medicinal ingredients, but it was trained by her family's elders who were like wolves and tigers since she was a child. You have to be whipped, where it depends on talent like others!
For the sake of these good seedlings under her hands, not only did Su Tong take the initiative to find the patients who came to her door, she also wanted to take a look at them, even if she heard that a nearby village had a patient, she would also take Su Zheng to have a look.

After coming and going, the people around have a very good impression of Miss Su.

Doctors are really rare these days. Most of the residents living in this place are from poor families. Even Dr. Ling seldom passes by. If you go to a big medical center in the city for treatment, after a serious illness, the entire family’s fortune will have to be paid out. If it's gone, ordinary people like them can't afford to get sick at all. Once they get sick, they can only survive through suffering. If they can't survive, they can't help but die.

Later, the academy often organized the students to do practical activities. In addition to going to their own workshops, they were also taken to do some farm work. There is one more place that can treat diseases. After the news of the excellent medical skills of the sitting doctor in the academy spread, the number of people who took the initiative to see the doctor decreased slightly. The two sitting doctors in the academy complained that there were not many patients for them to study.

After a long time, seeing that the medical expenses did not rise, I returned to the old view.

Su Tong is willing to take the initiative to see a doctor for the people around him, but he is unwilling to wrong himself when he encounters such a difficult situation.

Erya snorted angrily: "If you are really sick, how can you have time to come to us? We are half a day away from Qingzhou City. There are so many doctors in Qingzhou City, which one of them is better than us?" The doctor sitting in the hall has rich experience? In my opinion, it’s better not to pay attention to such domineering people. If the cure is not cured, we don’t know what they will make up, and we will suffer.”

Su Tong was silent, thought for a while, and pulled Erya over, "Go ask our people to find out who those two are, and find out their details."

Su Wencheng is the General Judge of Qingzhou. Su Tong has been here for such a long time, and his intelligence work is still very good.

Mingyuefang caught all the wives of the local big families, and played a great role in the intelligence collection of the upper class. Those noble ladies combed their hair, put on makeup, and chatted in Mingyuefang, and the information came out. The wind around the pillow is quite powerful. Yes, it is impossible for Su Tong not to know that there is a disturbance in the officialdom to win over these women.

There are a lot of idlers on the ground in Qingzhou, and they are all in her intelligence circle. These local snakes have been rooted in the local area for many years. Willing to provide information at a minimal cost.

In just a short period of time, the village girl Erya knew clearly about these doorways that she had never heard of before, and indeed the environment is the best for cultivating people. Now that she got Su Tong's intention, she went out and walked around for half an hour. Before long, let her find out about the situation of the two sticky candies at the door.

"These two people are not big people. The young lady of the Bai family in the west city of Qingzhou City should have heard of it. They are in the fur business. In the past, the business was very ordinary, except that there were two half-dead shops. In this generation, Bai Dalang is a smart man with means, his business is better than before, and he looks like he is going to prosper."

"That young man is Bai Dalang's second younger brother, who is a concubine. The woman is only from a small family, her surname is Wu, and she is the third. Everyone calls her Miss Wu San. I heard that she is engaged to the Bai family, and the matchmaker is Bai Dalang. wife."

Su Tong listened quietly, and was relieved to hear that these two people were indeed locals who knew everything. There shouldn't be any conspiracy.

She also secretly laughed, probably because Zhao Wanrong has been writing to remind her to be careful in everything recently, which makes her somewhat sensitive, when encountering strange things, she first has to consider whether it is a trap or something.
