Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 24
Su Tong, the eldest sister of the Su family, will dedicate ten years of her life to treating her stepmother Liu's illness!

This gossip spread like fire in Xixi Town. Although many people did not believe that a person's lifespan could really be 'borrowed', they all expressed deep admiration for Su Tong's filial piety.

Of course, with the testimony of the highly respected Daoist Baiyun Guangao, there are quite a few people who believe it. Most of them think that Su Tong is really stupid, and her stepmother doesn't treat her very well. Even if she let her go, no one would accuse her of anything, and she wasn't her own mother. Could it be that she really expected the young lady in her prime to exchange her life for that of a shrew?
Liu's head was agitated by these rumors, Xue Tiannan and Xue Min were also very unhappy, especially Xue Tiannan, every time he went out, he felt that others looked at him in a wrong way, as if they were accusing him of being unfilial.

Bang!

The sound of the miscellaneous teacup was so loud that Erlang was taken aback, but Su Tong's hand, which was mending his clothes, was as steady as before, not even trembling.

"Miss."

Erlang moved his body, leaned against Su Tong's knee, his face showed a little shock, Su Tong patted his head comfortingly, took out two pieces of rags from the sewing basket on the bed, and stuffed them into Erlang In his ear: "Hey, let them quarrel, Erlang don't listen, study hard."

This morning Xue Tiannan went out and returned home within half an hour, she knew that there was going to be a scene at home.

A person like Xue Tiannan dared to play tricks in front of his own mother.

Su Tong looked coldly through the dilapidated window, just in time to see Xue Tiannan circling in the yard anxiously, and Liu Shi standing at the door helplessly, with a hunched body, looking extremely old.

However, it's none of her business.

Anyway, she has done all the rituals, and she also chanted the mantra in front of a group of village elders, and that Gao Zhenren also sent a large bag, most of which were ashes of talisman papers, and a small part of refined medicinal materials Give it to Mrs. Liu and tell her to drink it on time every day.

Speaking of people suddenly, Su Tong and Gao Zhenren are both experts. They fooled around in front of Mrs. Liu, all of which were to ask Mrs. Liu to have more kind thoughts, do more good deeds, and not to have crooked thoughts, coaxing and scaring, anyway. Even if Liu's illness is cured, it is due to Su Tong and Gao Zhenren, if her illness continues to relapse, it is because of her insincerity, and those evil things refuse to leave.

No matter how you look at it, it's nothing to do with Miss Su.

Su Tong smiled, lowered his head, and pinched his younger brother's little nose affectionately: "Erlang, don't learn from that bastard Xue Tiannan, and treat your sister well in the future."

Erlang nodded obediently, and said seriously: "I will treat Eldest Sister well and protect Eldest Sister. If anyone bullies Elder Sister in the future, Erlang will beat him up!"

Su Tong laughed, glanced at Erlang's thin and thin body, shook his head, still don't know who is protecting whom?
"Erlang has this kind of heart, and the eldest sister will be happy. It's all right, don't waste time, study quickly."

Erlang obediently picked up an old "The Analects of Confucius", shook his head, and read it in rhythmic rhythms. Su Tong couldn't help smiling while listening.

This child is very talented, once taught by herself, there is no need to teach the child a second time, but, although with her foundation, there is no problem in enlightening the child, but Erlang still has to be sent to a serious academy to study, not just to learn knowledge , You also need to accumulate contacts.

Thinking about the money he had accumulated in his hands, Su Tong nodded secretly. This is almost enough. The Su family's genealogy takes good care of the children of the family, and Shu Xiu doesn't have many.

Erlang sat on the bed obediently and read a book. He was wearing the leather jacket that Su Tong saved money to buy for him. Su Tong didn't feel particularly warm when he put it on. The air leaked everywhere, and it was nothing like modern cold-proof clothing. There are many ways to compare, but for a serious Song Dynasty person like Erlang, it is enough.

It's also because Mrs. Liu has begged her recently, and it's rare for her to take care of Erlang, at least not grabbing his things casually, so this child can happily put on new clothes.

Recently, Qingchuntang's business has improved a lot. In addition to Dr. Sun's credit, there is probably a little credit from Su Tong.

One is that when Su Tong rescued the man who was almost strangled to death, the method he used was quite novel. In this small town where entertainment is relatively scarce, even trivial things can be discussed for days, let alone this kind of novelty.

Second, because Su Tong is greedy and the female shopkeeper is generous, every time the ingredients she prepares are very good, she makes a bunch of small snacks and snacks in different ways.

All of a sudden, the snacks in Qingchun Hall became much richer. In addition to the doctors and boys who benefited from it, the patients who came to see the doctor could eat some.

Miss Su's craftsmanship is good, these people are willing to come to Qingchun Hall to grab medicine even for these delicacies.

Three times, who made Su Tong a beauty?
She was treated harshly by Mrs. Liu in the past, she didn't eat or drink well, and she was a little skinny, even if she had a very good appearance, she could only show three to five points at most, but it's different now, she is 15 years old, just like a flower, this time For a while, there was delicious food and drink, and her figure was even more slender and charming, like a flower that has bloomed and has begun to exude a charming style.

There has been a lot of trouble recently coming out of the pharmacy who are not sick at all, insisting that they are not feeling well and insisting on Dr. Sun prescribing some nourishing medicine.

Going back and forth, Sun Changqing had a gloomy face all day long, and was so angry that he took out a lot of long needles to prick these idlers, which made them retreat.

The female shopkeeper didn't mind, on the contrary, she felt that more people came to the pharmacy and more popularity was not a bad thing.

It's just that the pharmacy is getting busier, and Su Tong has less time to rest. Today is the same. I only mended a little clothes for Erlang, and it's time to go to work. I told Erlang to study hard and don't go out to touch Liu. Shi and Xue Tiannan's brothers and sisters dressed neatly on their own and went to Qingchun Hall.

Su's house is quite close to Qingchun Hall, so you don't need to take a car, just walk a few steps there. As soon as you walk to the gate of the pharmacy, you see the female shopkeeper rushing out of the house and shouting at Su Tong: "Quick, hurry up, follow me."

The girl even forgot to pretend, and reached out to pull Su Tong's hand.

Fortunately, Su Tong had a clear eye and a quick mind, so he hid for a while. Although he knew she was a woman, in the eyes of others, she was just a young man. Let her do this, and I'm afraid I will be passed down before tomorrow. Become the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper of Qingchuntang.

"Boss, what happened?"

Even if someone died from taking the medicine from the pharmacy, then he should go to Sun Changqing, if he can't find her, a small accountant, right?
The female shopkeeper looked Su Tong up and down, and said anxiously: "Come out with me...Your clothes are not good, and those who don't know think they can treat you harshly. Hurry up and change into new clothes."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but push Su Tong and let her go upstairs, "There's me...my sister's clothes in the box on the east side, you can dig out some clothes and change them, my sister's figure is not much different from yours , should be able to wear it, let’s go.”
