Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 94
Gao Zhenren led Su Tong all the way to the door, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as the door was closed, the room was a little dark.

Zhao Wanrong raised her head, she was not paying attention at first, but when her eyes fell on Su Tong, her eyes widened.Although Su Tong did not know where to find a veil and covered her face, it could only make strangers not know her, and people who really knew her would become uncomfortable even if she was covered with a veil. Know someone?
Although this is a quiet room, the layout is quite simple, but the white walls and gray floor, a couch and a table, not even a chair, only two futons are placed in front of the Buddhist altar in the east corner, but Zhao Wanrong is sitting on the couch , but still full of grace and demeanor, making this room look like a splendid hall.

Two old men with gray beard and hair stood in front of her, silent like cicadas.

There was only one old man, about fifty years old, with a long black beard hanging down his chest, obviously well-groomed, bright in color and straight.People in Song Dynasty loved to grow beards, and they valued beards very much. With such a beard, others will inevitably think highly of them when they see it.

This person obviously had a special place in Zhao Wanrong's heart, standing alone in front of the table, holding a pen in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, as if he was meditating.

Two eight or nine-year-old boys with red faces and white teeth stood beside them, one of them was holding a medicine box in his hand, and the other was holding a big wine gourd as long as one arm.

Turning his head, the old man frowned when he saw Master Gao, obviously very displeased, snorted, and said angrily, "That's him? It's just a sorcerer, and the princess actually invited him to treat the sick?"

This old man obviously had a very high prestige, just one sentence, the eyes of the other two old men also showed a bit of contempt.

Gao Zhenren stroked his beard, not angry, just smiled lightly, shook his head, first saluted the eldest princess, then Shi Shiran stood still in the room, and said casually: "Princess, a certain person has brought the nobleman Here, I can treat patients at any time, although a certain medical skill is only ordinary, but the patient in the inner courtyard is suffering from a disease that is absolutely impossible to cure only with good medical skills, I ask the princess to make a decision early."

Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, he really has the demeanor of a superior person. I have to say that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. His appearance is good, and his clothes are also luxurious. The eldest princess, who is well-informed and doesn't believe in strange things, can't help but trust him a little more.

Zhao Wanrong glanced at Su Tong, hesitated a little, she knew Su Tong, and had some inexplicable affection for Su Tong, a person would always trust her own people more than strangers, she naturally did not believe that Miss Su would go with Gao Zhenren Lie, I felt more confident in what Gao Zhenren said.

Furthermore, although Master Gao did not cure the patient's illness, his actions did have some effect at the beginning, but his methods became less and less effective later on, which shows that this man is indeed a master. Therefore, when Gao Zhenren said that he needed to find a noble person with a suitable horoscope and a noble fate to help, Zhao Wanrong was dubious in her heart, but she still believed it more than she didn't believe it.

People are very strange in their hearts. Once they are cornered, they will always ask the gods for help, and hope that people with great supernatural powers can save people from danger. I felt that the patient was indeed suffering from an unspeakable disease, and it could be said that he was really stained with dirty things.

Although the Taoist priests in Kaifeng also came to exorcise the evil spirits for the patients, it also had no effect.

However, this kind of thing is different from curing a disease. Taoist priests have no effect in exorcising evil spirits. Zhao Wanrong will more or less suspect that the Taoist priests she invited are not powerful enough, and they are not strong enough to control evil spirits.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Wanrong nodded and said, "Then I will trouble Master Gao..."

"Wait!" Before the eldest princess finished speaking, the old man in the house had already said angrily, "Princess, since you asked the old man to treat the patient and let the Taoist priests make trouble, in case it violates the properties of the medicine I prescribed, the cure Wouldn't it be bad for the old man's reputation if he didn't care about the sickness of the patient!"

Zhao Wanrong was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Su Tong, frowned and said, "Doctor Zhang, Master Gao promised that even if his treatment is ineffective, it will never be counterproductive, you..."

"Princess, don't talk too much." The old man waved his hand expressionlessly, put down the brush in his hand, stared coldly at Gao Zhenren in Taoist robes, and said displeasedly, "This old man hates swindlers the most in my life. Let these people get involved with the old man's patients, this is responsible for the patients."

What he said was impassioned, but Gao Zhenren didn't seem to listen at all. He turned to Su Tong early in the morning and talked and laughed with her in a low voice. If it matters.

It's not really important words.

"This imperial doctor Zhang is called Zhang Gao. He is very skilled in medicine, but he is too arrogant and is not used very much in the palace. He has always challenged the Wang Weide who has a good relationship with you, always saying that Wang Weide only specializes in strange skills and prostitution, and is not doing his job properly. , not a highly respected doctor, Wang Weide admired his medical skills very much, always humbled himself and said that he was not as good as this Zhang Gao."

Su Tong nodded, and as soon as he raised his head, he heard Zhang Gao yelling - "You Taoist priest, if you want to save face, leave as soon as possible, this place is not a place for you to bluff."

"Hey!" Su Tong sighed, "Doctor Zhang, you are so strange that you don't say anything. Even a saint knows that this is unspeakable. Are you really going to accuse us, a real person, of being a liar?"

Zhang Gao glanced at Su Tong, perhaps seeing that she was a little girl, her complexion looked a little better, but her voice was still cold and firm: "This old man hates those people who pretend to be gods and ghosts the most in their life. You bastard, little lady, you are still young, don't be fooled by these people."

Su Tong raised his eyebrows, and felt that this high-level thought was not out of line in the 21st century, but it was a bit weird in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although he doesn't hate this person, Su Tong's three views are really not right. He spared no effort to protect himself. He smiled slightly, turned his head, his eyes fell on the Buddhist altar set in the corner, and frowned slightly in pretended surprise "This is originally a pure place of Buddhism. Although Buddhism is different, even a master of Buddhism would not dare to say that everyone is a swindler. Doctor Zhang, you are standing in the holy place of Buddhism. This is too much .”

Zhang Gao was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that this place was a nunnery. Although the offering was for Buddha, to him, Buddhism and Taoism were all filthy things, and none of them could be seen.

But staying on other people's territory right now, no matter how clear he is, he won't offend other people's 'landlords'. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he heard Su Tong sigh: "Actually, you don't The language is strange and confusing. Although I was invited by the real person to come here, I didn't even see the patient. I really dare not say anything about gods and ghosts. But at this time, Doctor Zhang should not worry about the patient, but worry about it first. It's better for yourself."
