Reborn Doctor

Chapter 73

What Kou Tong said stunned all the ladies present.

Yes, I have only heard that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, but I don’t know why Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs. Is it for writing "Shennong’s Materia Medica"?

The ladies present looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why Kou Tong would ask this question, does it have anything to do with flowers?

Kou Tong smiled slightly: "In ancient times, grains and weeds grew together, and medicines and flowers bloomed together. No one could tell which grains could be eaten and which herbs could cure diseases. People often died due to poisoning by mistake. At that time, if a person was sick, he would ask the witch doctor for divination.

Shennong didn't believe in witch doctors. He decided to distinguish between those herbs that can satisfy hunger, those that are poisonous, and those that can cure diseases by taking them himself, and recorded the results of his own consumption.From this, there is an allusion that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs. "

"The flowers we saw today are also types of herbs, so they are also classified as poisonous, edible, and can be used as medicine to treat diseases."

"Are the flowers in this garden poisonous?" someone asked.

Kou Tong replied, "Some are poisonous."

Some people looked at each other in blank dismay, aren't we doing well?How did he not die from poisoning?

The face of the cautious lady changed slightly: "Then will we be poisoned?"

"Ma'am, don't worry. Some flowers have a small amount of toxicity. If you smell them in the garden, you won't be poisoned. If you move them indoors, you may be poisoned."

Kou Tong continued: "For example, purple jasmine is fine during the day, but at night when the sun is not visible, it will release a fragrance due to the yin at night. If you smell this fragrance too much, it will cause coughing and asthma."

"Then... the purple jasmine can't be planted anymore?" The lady said nervously.

"Of course not!" Kou Tong said: "Mirabilis only releases this fragrance at night, and it's fine during the day. As long as you don't keep it indoors or keep it indoors at night, you don't have to worry about it. Moreover, Mirabilis is still very useful Where are the medicinal materials!"

The lady with an exaggerated smile said in amazement: "Is purple jasmine a medicinal material?"

"Yes, ma'am." Kou Tong nodded, and said eloquently: "Mirage is mild in nature, slightly cold, and tastes sweet and bitter. Its functions are mainly diuretic, purging heat, promoting blood circulation and removing stasis; it can cure pulmonary tuberculosis, hematemesis, carbuncle and back , scabies, and other diseases. Moreover, it is easy to grow, grows fast, and is low in cost. It is not as delicate as some herbs, so it is a very good medicinal material!"

Originally, Kou Tong was a little nervous, but following her explanation, everyone showed an expression of enlightenment, and Kou Tong felt a sense of accomplishment.

There was no tension on her face at the beginning, only confidence and calmness.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her carefully again.

She is tall, fit and well-proportioned, with a rosy complexion, and her gestures reveal the vigor and health of a young woman, like the rising sun, full of vigor.

Compared with those ordinary girls who are delicate and weak, she is full of vigor, which makes people like her at first sight.

She has red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes, beautiful like rhododendrons in May, handsome, tall and straight, beautiful and colorful.

Even if those wives regarded Kou Tong as their opponent, they couldn't help but praise from the bottom of their hearts: This girl was born really well!
The heavens are full, the facial features are upright, the skeleton is big, the waist is thin, the hips are wide, and it really looks like a man!It looks fertile.

No wonder Mrs. Yongchang Hou likes this girl so much.The Marquis of Yongchang has a small population, and it really needs fertile women as clan wives to carry on the family line.

"Oh!" said the lady with an exaggerated smile, "I have opened my eyes today, Doctor Xiao Kou, you really know a lot!"

"That's right! Doctor Kou really knows a lot. She cured our old lady's illness." Madam Yongchang marveled: "I never thought that a small flower can have so many functions. It can be seen that there is knowledge everywhere. Read articles from time to time, threesome must have my teacher!"

Only then did everyone realize that the beautiful girl in front of them was Doctor Xiao Kou who cured the old lady of Yongchang Hou.

It has been heard for a long time that a female doctor has come to Nanjing City, with excellent medical skills, everyone has only heard of her name but never seen her, and seeing the real person at this moment, I can't believe it.

She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there is nothing outstanding about her, except that she has a pretty face, which is brighter and more attractive.But there are pretty girls everywhere in the world, does this girl really have great medical skills?

But Mrs. Marquis of Yongchang shouldn't lie!

After all, their old lady was skinny and dying before, but now she is indeed in good health, as if she has changed into a different person.

Kou Tong was a little embarrassed by the praise of Mrs. Marquis of Yongchang: "Madam's false praise, I'm just playing tricks, it's just that you ladies don't know as well as me!"

"Doctor Xiao Kou, why are you humble!" The woman with an exaggerated smile said, "I've heard that the Kou family has a great doctor, and I've wanted to meet him for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him today."

When she spoke, her tone was intimate, as if they were very familiar, Kou Tong was slightly taken aback.

Then the woman said: "I forgot to tell you, our two families are still related. My husband's family name is Qian, and my maiden name is Lu. The fourth-bedroom old lady of the Kou family is my direct aunt."

"So it's my cousin!" Kou Tong said hastily, "I'm young and I don't know many people, so don't be surprised."

"Don't blame me, don't blame me!" Madam Qian said, "You child, why are you being polite to your aunt?"

"Auntie, this is my mother!" Kou Tong introduced Mrs. Su to Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu repeatedly praised Mrs. Su's teaching daughter.

Seeing Lu's words, everyone naturally didn't want to be inferior, and praised them one after another.

Su couldn't help being very happy.

Before, when her husband was around, she was the wife of a master in the imperial hospital, and when she went out, others would respect her a little because of her husband's medical skills.After many years, her daughter is just as good, and with her medical skills, she was praised again.

She suddenly felt that the regret of losing her husband, the difficulty of being a widow, and the hardships she had suffered before were not important anymore.

The atmosphere at the teahouse became lively in an instant.

Soon it was time for lunch, and the lunch was served in the garden. The Jin Dynasty paid attention to not talking when eating and not talking when sleeping, so this meal was eaten quietly.

After lunch, the tables and plates were removed, tea and water were poured again, and everyone sat down again.

Because of the previous episode, Mrs. Lu dragged Mrs. Su to talk non-stop.

"Doctor Xiao Kou, since you are a doctor, can you take a look for me?"

Kou Tong glanced at Mrs. Qian and said, "Biao Aunt, do you always fail to arrive as scheduled every month, and your menstruation is not smooth?"

Lu suddenly froze!
She was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that Dr. Xiao Kou could see the cause of her illness all at once.

She didn't care about being shy, and hurriedly said: "Doctor Xiao Kou, you are right, I do have this problem, I wonder if there is any way to treat it?"

"It's not a serious problem. It may be that my cousin suffered from cold and cold during menstruation. It was not cured at that time, so the root cause of the disease was left. I'm afraid it has been two or three years! This disease is not an emergency, but it needs to be recuperated slowly. It will be cured after half a year! Remember that you must take the medicine for half a year, because the disease has been going on for too long, if you don't take good care of it, or if it is a year or so later, you may be seriously ill."

This time Lu Shi was even more shocked. She slipped and fell into the lake in the winter three years ago because the road was slippery in the snow and she didn't hold on to the railing.

She remembered that at that time, she was indeed menstruating.That incident made her bedridden for three full months, even spending the Chinese New Year in bed.

It seems that from that time on, her menstruation was not smooth.

This little Kou doctor just glanced at him and didn't even diagnose his pulse. He was able to tell not only the symptoms, but even the reason.

She couldn't help being shocked!There really is such a good medical skill in the world.

"Doctor Xiao Kou, I'll listen to you, I will take good care of her, please give me a prescription!"

"En!" Kou Tong nodded.

Mrs. Hou of Yongchang had asked the servant girl to bring the rice paper Langhao brush over. After Kou Tong finished writing the prescription, she handed it to Mrs. Lu.

Now all the ladies and ladies exploded.

They all had some problems to some extent, but they didn't care because they thought it was a minor disease. After hearing what Kou Tong said, they couldn't help worrying that their previous minor diseases would turn into serious problems after a long time. Tong's pulse started.

Kou Tong was always able to see the subtleties, and explained their minor problems clearly in a few words.

After this burst of hustle and bustle, the way everyone looked at Kou Tong changed immediately.

"Okay, okay!" Madam Yongchang saw that the effect had been achieved, she stood up and said, "Doctor Xiao Kou is my guest, how can I let you do it like this? If you are really sick, invite Doctor Xiao Kou to come to the house tomorrow It’s not impossible to go up for diagnosis and treatment. There are so many of you, I won’t follow her if she’s exhausted!”

"Madam is right!" Immediately, someone jokingly said, "Seeing Doctor Xiao Kou's superb medical skills, I really admire him, so I forgot that I was a guest!"

"Ma'am is still considerate. When we met Dr. Xiao Kou, there was no barrier for a while! Ma'am, don't take offense!"

Once a word is spoken, someone will answer it.The more you talk, the more tea you drink.

The little maid changed another round of tea, and the ladies brought the topic to the ladies again.They looked at the ladies present, and then wondered if there were any teenagers of the same age and family background among their relatives, so that they could match them.

The Lu family has always been talkative, she said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao Kou looks so good, and his medical skills are so good, I don't know which family's hero will be so lucky to marry her in the future."

When she said this, all the wives looked at Mrs. Yongchanghou, and seeing Mrs. Yongchanghou's amiable face, everyone confirmed their guess.

Kou Tong was very anxious!
Mrs. Su was afraid that no one would ask her, now that she heard what Mrs. Lu said, it hit her heart, and she hurriedly said: "Our Tongniang already has a marriage contract!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies laughed. It turned out that Yongchang Houfu and Doctor Xiaokou had already made a marriage contract.Inviting them here today is just for show.

Mrs. Marquis of Yongchang really took great pains, for this little Kou doctor, she really made a lot of momentum today.

The ladies didn't see that although Madam Yongchanghou's complexion did not change, the smile on her face was not as calm as before.She was eager to find her son and ask what was going on.

Although Su didn't understand why everyone was laughing, she also felt that something was wrong.The more she thought about it, the more she felt a little strange. Today's banquet was not so much a birthday celebration for Mrs. Yongchang Hou, but rather a visit to enjoy flowers.

And Mrs. Yongchanghou is obviously promoting Tongniang's reputation...

Sitting in the sedan chair, Su Shi could not wait to step into the house, she wanted to ask Tong Niang what was going on!
