Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 91 Trouble
"...Invite him to the living room, there is no need to prepare tea. He is an expert, and our food is all vulgar. If he eats it, his practice will be damaged."

There was a strange smile in Su Tong's eyes -- it's always a pleasure to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

She has a good impression of that Gao Zhenren, at least that master is very good at bluffing and deceiving, and his mind is right. People can't help themselves in the world, and when they do bad things, they can keep their bottom line and make their hearts clear and pure. , It can be said that it is not easy, if there are more liars like Gao Zhenren, the harm to this world will definitely not be too great.

After tidying up the ledger carefully, Su Tong washed up again, ate a few pieces of snacks, and then got up and walked towards the living room. Although the little girl beside her didn't urge her, she felt a little anxious on her face.

Su Tong looked amused, and knew that Gao Zhenren must have used his own skills to fool the little girls at home again.

Sure enough, Gao Zhenren was still the same, just as dignified as when he first met him, with long bleached hair and a high crown, elegant and natural beard, childlike face and clear eyes.

He sat in the living room of his home, and the group of servants in his family who had always looked down upon monks and Taoists couldn't help but pay him a third of respect. Although they didn't say they were respectful, they were definitely not rude.

When Su Tong arrived at the door of the living room, he heard Gao Zhenren stroking his beard in a serious manner: "The first half of your life is full of hardships, and you may worry about meeting people who are unkind. ..."

Aunt Ma was arranging snacks for him, she was stunned and convinced when she heard this.

Su Tong shook his head, opened the door and entered the room, glared at Gao Zhenren with a smirk, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still such a fairy, it's really gratifying!"

With that said, Su Tong sat down on his own, picked up a piece of snacks and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed and ate them slowly, and then raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty is coming to Kaifeng, why don't you let me know in advance, so that I can let you Slave to meet."

Gao Zhenren stroked his beard, smiled, stood up and said, "Infinity Heavenly Venerable", then smiled and said, "It's been a while, but the lay lady is still so eloquent..."

While coping with it casually, he winked at the same time.

Su Tong was secretly funny. Even though his skin was about to be stripped off by him, he still wanted to save face so much. He waved his hand to make the curious maids and nuns around him retreat, then shook his head and said, "It's okay for you to play tricks in Taizhou." Forget it, anyway, no one cares about you in a poor country, this place is Kaifeng, not to mention far away, Zhang Zhenren from Zhongyue Temple who is nearby just went to the palace to preach to the Queen Mother a few days ago, if you commit crimes in front of his eyes, he will kill you When the liar takes it, then you don't want your face."

He was about to speak at first, but Miss Su rolled her eyes angrily when Miss Su said something. Gao Zhenren sighed and shook his head again and again. It took him a long time to recover, and smiled wryly: "Maybe I will perform Zhu Youshu once, and it will fall on you In your eyes, why bother to bury me like this? Don't you really think I'm a liar? "

I think he has been in Taoism for 30 years. Although he occasionally went down the mountain to deceive big family members for the construction cost of Baiyun Temple, but he has always been measured, and he has never seriously done those outrageous things. She eats to death, and from time to time she has to make a few jokes with her, a junior.

Su Tong smiled, seeing Gao Zhenren's depressed face, he felt a little embarrassed, after all, this person is old, she should respect the old and love the young anyway.

"It's all just a joke, so Daoist Gao doesn't need to care about it. However, Daoist people suddenly came to Kaifeng. Could it be that they want to practice in Kaifeng's Taoist temple?" Although Su Tong always likes to bury the old Taoist priest in front of him, he actually has a good impression of him. He was also quite concerned, "With your ability, it is not impossible to stay in Kaifeng. Maybe in a few years, your reputation will not only spread in Taizhou, but also in Kaifeng."

Su Tong didn't mean to flatter him. The two of them had a lot of dealings in Taizhou before. It can be said that Su Tong knew him better than other so-called believers who admired the old Taoist priest. I think, with his demeanor, his appearance, his knowledge and talent, and his superb medical skills, if he wants to fool most of the princes and nobles, there is no problem at all.

Gao Zhenren scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about being famous in Kaifeng, I'm lucky if I don't get hurt this time, you know the basics, and I won't play sloppy with you. I really want to ask the young lady to help me when I come to the door this time." busy."

He spoke very solemnly, and Su Tong also put away his joking appearance, and sat upright, "Please tell me, we have a long time, I can listen to you slowly."

Gao Zhenren hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Do you know that recently all the famous doctors, miraculous doctors, and even doctors with only a little reputation in the capital have been invited to the Moon Nunnery in the west of the city, and they have never been there? Back, I heard that even the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Shen Taifei and many nobles in the palace have come to visit the Moon Nunnery."

Su Tong was taken aback, she really didn't know, but now she was reminded by Gao Zhenren, and then she remembered that her father said that it is difficult to find a doctor in the capital recently, and two of his classmates were sick, so they searched half of the capital, All the doctors went out, but fortunately there were still apprentices staying, and doctors from other places could also be invited, otherwise, people would have to be worried to death.

"Not only the civilian doctors, but even the imperial physicians have changed their appearances to go to the Moon Temple. Ordinary officials may not know it, but the top group of dignitaries probably know it well."

Su Tong nodded, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is a big man in the Geyue Temple."

She remembered that the Eldest Princess told her a while ago that she had visited an old friend in the Moon Temple. Sure enough, it was impossible for the Eldest Princess to be called an old friend.

But—"What does that have to do with you?"

Even if some important person gets sick, it has nothing to do with the Taoist priests in Taizhou, Su Tong changed his mind and smiled, "Could it be that someone asked you to catch ghosts and demons?"

The eldest princess also said that there are evil spirits at work. Although she keeps saying that she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and that there are evil spirits in the world, she shows unspeakable hesitation in her words, obviously she is worried.

Gao Zhenren was not surprised, and nodded slightly: "You are a smart person, so of course you can't hide this matter from you." A Taoist priest like him suddenly came to the capital, of course to catch ghosts and eliminate demons.

Su Tong shrugged: "You're used to this kind of thing, so maybe it can't be cured this time?"

This is Gao Zhenren's old profession, and he must be very familiar with it. He relies on this to make a living. When he was in Taizhou, he did not know how many demons he caught. It's really strange.
