Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 126 Appetite
Seeing Xiaoxi, Ming concubine slapped her face fiercely, she was ashamed, how could she be so stupid, she could directly ask where Mrs. Su was, and why did she ask where Nan was? Things in the southeast and northwest of the Qing Dynasty, all the embarrassment was thrown at grandma's house.

Taking a deep breath, Ming concubine put this matter behind her, stepped on the small wooden bridge, and walked towards the hut.

After entering the yard, I heard a familiar voice, "Just wait patiently, the doctor I found for you is very skilled in medicine, and he will keep the medicine until the illness is cured."

This is the old man Su talking, Ming concubine can hear his voice.

Soon, another voice said, "You persuaded me to go to Beijing, and you lied to me that the doctors with great medical skills are all in the capital. I came, and after half a month, I saw all the imperial doctors, and none of them could cure me. Jin'er misses his mother, can I not take him back?"

"What about after you go back?" Old Master Su asked.

For a long time, there was no answer.

Because no one can deny that the Dajing Dynasty had the most doctors with excellent medical skills in Kyoto. If there is no hope for a cure in Kyoto, there is no hope in other places, but the hope is slim.

Master Su persuaded, "Old Master Zou, just relax. Father has been looking forward to your coming to the capital for several years. As long as you can cure Young Master Jin's illness, you will be teaching at Yuelu Academy for three years. How can you spare no effort?"

The old wrinkled old man said distressedly, "As long as Jin'er's illness can be cured, let alone three years, even ten years, I agree!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Old Master Su said happily.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Su glanced out of the window and said, "Come in."

It's not that Ming concubine didn't come forward on purpose, but Mrs. Su signaled her not to come in first, so what did she think, it turned out that she didn't have enough bargaining chips.

The Su family really worked hard for Yuelu Academy and for all the students in the world.

Concubine Ming stepped up the steps, and when she entered the room, she saw that besides Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su, there was also an old man with half-white hair, who would make Mrs. Su look forward to coming to Beijing for a few years.

Concubine Ming's eyes were full of respect, while Mr. Zou frowned, looked at Mrs. Su and said, "This is what you said... a doctor with superb medical skills?"

"A person cannot be judged by his appearance, sea water cannot be measured, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher."

Mr. Zou didn't say anything, he could feel the sincerity of Mrs. Su, who had been classmates for three years and had known each other for decades, who could not understand someone.

It's just that this little boy really has better medical skills than the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital?
Concubine Ming went up to greet Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su introduced her, "This is Mr. Zou, a classmate and friend of mine in the past, and we worked together for ten years. I got tired of the officialdom in the early years and resigned to return to my hometown. He is well-educated, talented, and my grandfather... I am willing to bow down, whether you can invite him to teach in the academy and cultivate talents for the imperial court is entirely up to you."

Ming Yu said that Yali is a bit big.

Master Su said, "Let her see Young Master Jin first."

Ming concubine's medical skills are good, but there are so many diseases that the imperial physicians are helpless, Mr. Su can't guarantee that Ming concubine will be able to cure them, but I hope that he is older than ordinary people.

If Mr. Zou cannot be kept this time, there will be no hope in the future.

Old Mr. Zou got up and invited concubine Ming into the room. On the bed in the room lay a young boy about seventeen or eight years old. His body was emaciated and his face had no color. He fell asleep at the moment.

Old Mr. Zou sat by the bed and shouted, "Jin'er, wake up."

The little boy fell asleep very lightly, opened his sleepy eyes, and shouted, "Grandfather..."

Eldest Master Su came over with a small scorpion, Ming concubine was terrified and asked her uncle to bring her a stool, she sat down and motioned for Young Master Zou to stretch out his hand to feel his pulse.

I have seen many doctors, the young master is not afraid of strangers at all, looking at Ming concubine with hazy eyes, he probably has never seen such a young and beautiful doctor.

Concubine Ming took the pulse carefully, with a focused and calm expression, and withdrew her hand after a long time. Before Mr. Zou could speak, Mr. Su nervously asked, "Can it be cured?"

Just before entering the house, Ming concubine had already heard from old Mr. Zou that young master Zou had some illnesses. He could not sleep well at night and often complained of knee pain. After taking his pulse, Ming concubine knew his illnesses well. She nodded and said, "It can be cured."

Mr. Zou asked, "What's wrong with Jin'er?"

"Calcium deficiency," Ming concubine replied.

In a word, Mr. Zou was dumbfounded, of course not only him, old master Su and Mr. Su were also dumbfounded, "What kind of disease is this?"

Concubine Ming didn't know how to explain it to them for a while, so she said, "Just like people who eat less salt for a while, or don't eat it, they will lose their appetite, limbs are weak, and dizzy, but people lack calcium and their bones are not easy to grow. OK, so the knee hurts."

"Then how to cure it? What medicinal materials are needed?" Mr. Zou asked anxiously.

He knows what salt is, and he also knows that people must eat salt, not just for seasoning, but he has never heard of calcium, so where can he buy it.

Seeing his impatience, Ming concubine said, "In fact, you don't need to take medicine for calcium deficiency. You can just eat more calcium-containing foods, such as bone soup. Break the bones into pieces and cook them slowly. A small bowl a day, and dry soup. For fried fish, stewed crispy fish, etc., it’s best to drink a bowl of milk every night before going to bed, if you persist for a month or two, and if you spend more time in the sun every day, Young Master Zou won’t complain of pain.”

Mr. Zou understands what Ming-er said, it should be what you eat to make up for you, it belongs to diet therapy, but, "Jin'er can't eat anymore."

They're all simple things, you can have as much as you want, but it's no good if you can't eat them.

In fact, just looking at Young Master Zou’s face, you can tell that he has poor digestion and no appetite. Anyone who suffers from pain at night and cannot sleep will also lose appetite during the day. Ming concubine said, “I will make some pills to regulate the spleen and stomach, so that The young master takes it every day, don't be bored in the room, and spend at least half an hour in the sun a day."

It's not a difficult thing to do, it's quite different from the doctors who prescribed a bunch of prescriptions, but I don't know why, but it's inexplicably trustworthy.

It's rare for Ming Concubine to see Mr. Su. His right wrist was injured so that he couldn't use a pen. Now he always uses his left hand to write and eat.

But even if you write with your left hand, you can still write seventeen or eight streets, but the injured right hand can be cured, of course it must be cured.

In Mr. Zou's room, Concubine Ming performed acupuncture for Master Su by the way. Seeing Concubine Ming's skillful acupuncture techniques, Mr. Zou became more convinced. His grandson called over there, so he went to take care of his grandson. Xie took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, I asked my cousins ​​to accompany me to the academy. When passing by the training ground, cousin Su Man was accidentally hit by a kick ball..."

"Why are you so careless?" Elder Su asked worriedly.

"I can't avoid it... as long as uncle doesn't blame me."

In fact, he just wanted to blame, but he couldn't blame him. If Ming concubine could come, why couldn't Su Man and the others come.

Master Su had a headache, "Mr. Zou is able to stay and teach in the academy, you have contributed a lot, how could uncle blame you."

It's just the academy, it's better not to come if you can't come in the future.

After receiving the golden needle, Ming concubine resigned as soon as she had nothing to do. The book boy who was in charge of leading the way sent Su Man and the others out of the academy and came back, waiting in the yard.

When Concubine Ming walked away, Mr. Zou came out and saw no one. He said, "Why did you leave? The consultation fee hasn't been paid yet."
