Don’t Be a Kept Man

It’s not a good thing that Qin Mingyue’s appearance is too eye-catching. In addition to singing and accompanying wine as a guest, Qin Mingyue can avoid it. In the future, before Yancheng, he will always wander around and never stay in the same place for too long. The dignitaries and dignitaries forced them to be pets.

Go to the county grandfather to sing a show, look at the scenery, who knows what wolves and tigers are inside.

Xiao Fengwu took him into his arms and sighed, "It's really smart."

Qin Mingyue lowered her eyes, and slowly rubbed her broken little finger: "Once you are stupid, you will naturally be smart..."

Qujiang Road is the most prosperous area in Yancheng. There are many begging people on weekdays. Today, the government officials drove them all to the ruined temple outside the city, crying and crying all the way.

"Uncle, uncle, please do well, my mother has leg problems, she can't push her forever!"

The broken bones used for begging fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The thin-faced woman cried and helped the white-haired old woman who fell down on the side. The mother and daughter wore dirty and old patched clothes, exactly the same.

It was Jiang Pingan who took the lead. He glanced at the old woman’s right leg, only saw an empty trouser tube, and said a little embarrassed: "Little girl, this is the order of the county grandfather. You take your mother to the city. Stay away for a few days, and when the high official above leaves, you will naturally be able to come back."

Qian Langzhong was drying medicinal materials outside the door with Xiao Fengwu, and when he saw this, he threw the sticks violently, and snorted coldly: "If you don't do personnel all day, what is the beggar hindering them!?"

The inside of the Huichun Hall was damp, and many medicinal materials were moldy. There was a stream of water vapor, and the beams in the house were also rotten. I was inviting a carpenter to reinforce it. Xiao Fengwu moved the table for consultation outside, basking in the sun while drying the medicinal materials. Yang Yang said: "There are too many beggars, it means that the political performance is poor. In this Yancheng, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, so that we can appear to be a good official."

"Pooh!"

Qian Langzhong’s angry beard trembled. He walked quickly in three steps and two steps, and slapped Jiang Pingan’s official hat with a pipe, and said angrily: "Bunny! Move people to my medicine hall, legs Even if it’s gone, let people crawl outside the city. That’s how your old lady taught you?!"

Jiang Pingan was about to get angry. When he saw that it was Qian Zhongzhong, he immediately died down. He is a filial son. He still remembers the kindness of Xiao Fengwu who saved his old mother, and his character is not bad. Besides good gambling, he has no other shortcomings. Hat, waved his hand to beckon the brother underneath to carry the beggar with the broken leg in, and said with a smile: "We have no choice but to listen to the order of the county grandfather. Qian Langzhong, you are good, don't let this beggar come out. When the high official who came up to inspect is gone, he will be fine."

Qian Langzhong couldn't see such a thing. He blew his beard and stared angrily. He asked Degui to take care of the beggar mother and daughter. He didn't bother to see and went directly to the neighboring county with the medicine box on his back.

Degui hurriedly helped the beggar woman to sit on a chair, rolled up her trouser legs, and saw sores on her legs, so rotten that they attracted flies. He clutched his nose and looked out the door, and said to Xiao Fengwu: "Sixteen, she The injury is serious. Come and see, I haven't seen this disease yet."

Thinking about it, he knew that Xiao Fengwu would never look at it. He looked back at the old woman’s legs, then frowned and turned his head, peeled two peanuts and threw them into his mouth, lying on the rocking chair and swaying for a while. : "Deguier, poor baby, I don't teach you anything when I stand with such a master. Today I will show you two tricks."

"Come on, her disease is old rot, mostly due to necrosis of the broken part, which causes the lower limbs to lose smoothness, local Qi and blood stagnation, and relapse due to damp heat, stagnation of Qi and blood, and rotting skin and flesh. Apply vitriol and iron rod yam to the affected area, once in the morning and evening, and it will be cured in ten days."

Degui asked in surprise: "It's that simple?"

Xiao Fengwu sneered: "Just a sore, how complicated do you want it."

In the morning, there were not many patients, but there were more at noon. Xiao Fengwu was drowsy from the sun, and his face was listless. He supported his head with one hand and cut the pulse with the other. He seemed extremely inattentive: "It's the cold, some serious. ."

The woman on the opposite side kept coughing, with an abnormal blush on her face, and said in a dumb voice: "Doctor, I used to look at Baoshengtang. The prescriptions are all here, but if you take it, you don’t see good. What's going on with the more serious?"

"This Feng Han Fang

The seeds are too warm, naturally no effect," Xiao Fengwu lowered his eyes and added twelve herbs to the prescription when he raised his brush: "Except for Pueraria lobata, perilla leaves, parsnip, cassia twig, angelica, tangerine peel, platycodon, licorice, **** , You need to add another pill of Shunqi Pill when you drink the medicine. "

The woman hesitated: "But this Shunqi Pill is expensive..."

Xiao Fengwu said, "It depends on whether you want money or your life."

After he finished speaking, he pushed the prescription, and was about to say the next one, when a slightly older male voice suddenly sounded above his head: "You don't have to use Shunqi Pill, just add Nepeta Lotus, and the effect will not decrease."

Xiao Fengwu tossed the pen when he heard the words, and the ink splashed all over: "This woman has asthma, and she has to take Soothing Liver Jiuwei Decoction every day. Nepeta lotus and the flattening medicine in it conflict with each other. It is not only ineffective. On the contrary, it will make things worse. You have to be smooth and neutral. Old man, next time you don’t know the whole thing, don’t show off here."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and looked at it. Only then did he realize that he was talking about a middle-aged old man. The other party was dressed in simple clothes, but he was a good hang-satin, and his body was extraordinary. It was just because of Xiao Fengwu's words. It was a little embarrassing.

Xiao Fengwu rubbed his sleeves unconsciously with his thumbs, and frowned slightly, feeling that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

At this moment, two sedan chairs were suddenly turned back not far away. Two men came down one after another. The head was dressed in official uniforms. It was the grandfather of the local county. The one behind looked about thirty years old and was dressed in a royal blue robe. The green jade belt is full of style, and the county grandfather is a bit short in front of him, and he keeps laughing attentively.

They were guarded by the servants with swords all around, wanting to come here with extraordinary identities. When the people saw this, they subconsciously avoided. The man in the navy blue robe stepped forward and said to the old man who had just interrupted: "Master Xiao, it's not a good idea to go to the restaurant for food. Well, why did you stop halfway and let us find it."

"Hahaha, Lord Fan, don't blame it, the old man came here and heard that there is a young genius doctor. He came here to take a look. Who would have thought it was my ineffective nephew? You said it was a coincidence."

As the old man said, he looked at Xiao Fengwu who was stunned, folded his hands, sighed, and smiled: "Sixteen, do you remember Second Uncle?"

The grandfather Xiao has a thin heir, and there are only two sons under his knees, the eldest son Xiao Pingzhang, and the second son Xiao Linru. This Xiao Pingzhangying died young, but the second son is not very filial.

At the time, Grandpa Xiao was the first official in the hospital, and he saw through the inner secrets of the palace and took the whole family to resign and return to the old. Who ever thought that the second son Xiao Linru would not abandon the glory, and stole the first-line needles from the family’s ancestors to cure the disease. The heavy noble concubine—the current empress empress, has prospered since then, but the old man Xiao is furious, and he is directly removed from the genealogy, saying that he is not allowed to be mentioned in the Xiao family, and only if he does not have this son.

Many years ago, Xiao Fengwu almost forgot that he still had a second uncle, but Xiao Linru had been walking on thin ice in the palace these years, and even though he had a good face, he looked haggard and old.

Xiao Fengwu saw what he had said to the man in the sapphire blue robe, and then succumbed to the crime. The other party shook his head and laughed, and then left with the county grandfather.

There were only two servants left behind Xiao Linru. He looked up at the dilapidated signboard of Huichun Hall, thoughtfully, and then said slowly: "...I haven't been to Yancheng for decades. Sixteen, if you return Recognize my second uncle, how about our uncle and nephew looking for a quiet place to have a drink?"

Xiao Fengwu pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Where is the second uncle, I happen to know a tavern, if you don't dislike it, let's go together."

Xiao Fengwu doesn't drink strong alcohol, but he used to go to the tavern in Wutong Alley to taste his plum-stuffed young beauty, but maybe the shopkeeper will not recognize him after a long time.

There were no guests in the tavern. There was an iron pot underneath, boiled with marinated beef, gurgling and steaming, and it was full of meat flavor. Xiao Fengwu said to the boss: "Cut two plates of beef, and then serve two pots of green beauty."

Then went to the elegant room on the second floor with Xiao Linru.

There was a patter of rain from the outside. Xiao Linru chose a seat by the window to appreciate the scenery outside. He saw that Xiao Fengwu was eating peanuts calmly, and his expression was a little complicated. He hesitated and asked aloud: "You guys ... are all okay?"

Xiao Fengwu paused when he heard the words.

Then he laughed and said, "I'm fine. Anyway, I can mix and eat. I don't know about the other dozen or so brothers and sisters. They may still be in the local area, or they may have gone elsewhere."

Xiao Linru sighed: "I am not filial, and I have not been able to save the Xiao family..."

Xiao Fengwu looked open: "There is nothing to save. It is not a fake that the Xiao family sells tobacco soil. It is good to be able to save his life. By the way, my second uncle stayed well in the capital, why did he return to Yancheng?"

Xiao Linru waved his hand and signaled the servants beside him to retreat. Then he said: "It's a long story. The empress is about to give birth, but her fetal position is not correct. I am not good at learning art. After discussing with all my colleagues, I can't do anything. , I wanted to find the confiscated ancient medical books of the Xiao family and seek a way to save them. It happened that Master Fan came down to patrol various states and counties, and came with him when he was passing by."

Xiao Er brought up the wine and beef, Xiao Fengwu filled two glasses of wine, and then said: "Is there any ancient medical books in the Xiao family? I should read them. Haven't my second uncle read them all."

Xiao Linru drank his cup of wine and let out a long sigh: "I was arrogant at the beginning, and I always felt that my father was too timid, but now in the deep palace, I know it's not easy. I am not afraid of others poking my spine and calling me unfilial. Now, father, he is really ruthless, he would rather burn the needle book than give it to me."

Xiao Fengwu didn't know what he thought of, so he drank a glass of wine and smiled: "He is really cruel."

Xiao Linru looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard the magistrate said that among the sixteen grandchildren, he loves you most."

Xiao Fengwu also looked at him and said, "What's the matter, people are already dead, but my grandfather said a word before he died."

Xiao Linru's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and asked, "What did he say?!"

Xiao Fengwu thought for a while before he said, "He said that the Xiao family's first-line needle skill can only be taught to the Xiao family, and it must not be passed on to others, otherwise it will destroy the guys who will eat for future generations."

As for Xiao Linru, his genealogy had already been eliminated.

When Xiao Linru heard the words, his eyelids twitched quickly, his face was as gray as his naked eyes fell. Obviously he understood the deep meaning of his words, and asked unwillingly, "Your grandfather... he didn't say anything before he died. Have you passed me?"

"Say," Xiao Fengwu put down the glass, "Grandfather said, you are the one with the worst medical skills, the least filial piety, and the least effective among the children of the Xiao family."

"Dangling—"

A light blue wine glass suddenly fell from the table, and Gu Lu rolled around on the wooden floor. The diagonal raindrops floated in from the window, and Xiao Linru couldn't help closing his eyes.

Xiao Fengwu drank another glass of wine and stared at him intently: "The grandfather was afraid that someone would steal the medical skills of the Xiao family. Before he died, he burned all the ancient books. The ones that were filled by the government were just ordinary people on the street. Good stuff, you don’t have to look for it."

Xiao Linru finally opened his eyes, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "He is still... still so cruel... so selfish..."

Xiao Fengwu still responded with a smile: "It's really cruel, it's selfish, but everyone else is dead, so it's useless to say this."
