Tang Dynasty law stipulates: "As the elders are here, the descendants have nothing to do with themselves. If they are humble and young, they will use their own property to use ten horses, ten horses will be beaten ten horses, and ten horses will be given a hundred sticks." This is where Mei Zhenyi can't help Cheng Xuanhu, because Mei Xiaolang entrusted the family affairs to Pei Yu'e before leaving, and Cheng Xuanhu came on behalf of the Hou's Mansion.

On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty also implemented a strict system of inheritance of the title and the eldest son of the title. The Tang Dynasty ruled: "The first person who established the legitimate wife was originally intended to inherit. The eldest son of the legitimate wife was the legitimate son. If she did not establish it according to this, it was called illegal and one year of discipleship." If Mei Zhenyi was deprived of her future status in the Mei family for no reason, it would be illegal. That is why Pei Yu'e looked at Mei Zhenyi so disliked, and it was like a thorn piercing into her heart.

But Mei Zhenyi didn't listen to Cheng Xuanhu's mercy. Cheng Xuanhu sent a message at Jingwu Villa to ask him to become a disciple. Mei Zhenyi replied in Qi Yunguan: "If Mr. Cheng is a family member of the Mei family, how can he let the young master meet his family slave? I am in Qi Yunguan, please come and see him if you want to see him."

Cheng Xuanhu sent another sentence: "I am not a slave from the Mei Mansion, but a guest invited by the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion to teach the young master's lessons. It is a way to respect my teacher when I see me." This man was not simple, and his answer was neither humble nor arrogant. If he couldn't even deal with the first step of meeting, how could he train the young master in the future?

Mei Zhenyi asked Zhang Guo to reply a few words after hearing this: "If I have been worshipped by my teacher, I should serve him with the etiquette of my teacher, but now I have not yet worshiped me as my teacher. I am just a guest of the villa. I hold a banquet at Qiyunguan and invite me to come. If I don't want to come, please let me go... In addition, I have been worshipped by Sun Simiao. If I want to worship another student without authorization, it is not a way to respect my teacher. This matter must be discussed with Sun Zhenren first." He also used Sun Simiao as a shield. Of course, Sun Simiao would not take the initiative to interfere in his family affairs, so he still did not go to become a disciple.

The two of them talked to each other but did not meet each other, which made Zhang Guo who was passing the message very tired. He ran back and forth from Qi Yunguan to Jingwu Villa several times. Cheng Xuanhu was here to teach students and also to "discipline" the servants of the entire Mei family in Wuzhou. He had already sent a message to Mei Zhenyi to come to become a disciple, so naturally he was not good to go up the mountain to "visit" Mr. Mei. Mei Zhenyi was even more straightforward and hid on the mountain and couldn't get down. He left Cheng Xuanhu in Jingwu Villa for several months and had not met. The two of them froze.

There is no deep hatred, why did Mei Zhenyi offend the "instructor" sent by the Chang'an Marquis Mansion? In fact, this is also a kind of martial arts, and the jargon is called "grabbing the threshold". If some people have an inevitable conflict with you, they just stare at you and want to get entangled, and no matter how you coax the supply and demand, it is useless. What should you do at this time? If you see through it and think about it, then you will openly let the other party hit a nail from the beginning without being entangled. This is called grabbing the threshold.

To give an example, in an environment where personnel and affairs relationships are relatively complicated, what should you do if you just encounter a villain and want to make trouble, and you can't avoid it? Instead of being on the surface and being indifferent, you have to work hard to explain to an uninformed person, it is better to find a suitable opportunity to openly reveal the conflicts so that everyone knows that he is going to cause trouble for you.

Of course, this technique of martial arts cannot be used casually. If it is not done well, it will backfire. There must be two prerequisites: first, the other party doesn't like you, and no matter how humble you deal with it, it is useless, and you don't want to be a villain like him. Second, you are sure that the other party will cause trouble for you and cannot avoid conflicts. Instead of waiting for the other party to use some axioms and make trouble, and then explain when he is entangled and slandered, it is better for everyone to know in advance that this person is going to cause trouble for you, which will save a lot of trouble.

Mei Zhenyi had already understood the situation of the Mei family at this time. Her father Mei Xiaolang probably didn't care about the trivial matters in the military camp. As soon as Mr. Cheng arrived, Mei Zhenyi guessed that it was sent by her stepmother Pei Yu'e to deal with him. No matter what he did, he would never let Pei Yu'e tend to protect him. It would be better to publicly express his attitude. He didn't want to offend anyone on his own initiative, but he didn't want to be bullied secretly.

Cheng Xuanhu came to Wuzhou in the name of teaching the young master and helping Wuzhou's industrial management. It sounded naturally very beautiful, just to make Mei Zhenyi suffer a loss and wait to get rid of it slowly. But after Mei Zhenyi played with this, everyone understood it - Oh, Mr. Cheng was sent by Mrs. Pei to Wuzhou to trouble the young master! Although Mei Zhenyi did not say this in person, the situation was already made public in the eyes of the bystanders.

Cheng Xuanhu had a series of plans as Pei Yu'e told him, such as the excuse that the young master lived in Qiyunguan, and that most daily necessities were transported from the city by a special boat, so he wanted to get him back to the villa for discipline. There was also the excuse that the young master's illness had recovered and wanted to eliminate the servants who served Mei Zhenyi in Jingwu Villa and sent all these people away. As a result, Mei Zhenyi hit him a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and the subsequent plans were not easy to openly start. After all, he only came in the name of "teaching" the young master, and the strong guest could not suppress the master. So Cheng Xuanhu could only look at the account book in the villa first, and could not see too many tricks.

Although Mei Zhenyi lived in Qiyun Temple, there were also inconvenient times, that was, he could not spend money casually and then report to Chang'an. The accounts and daily expenses of Wuzhou were all managed by Cheng Xuanhu. It did not have much impact in daily life, but if you want to do anything, you had to pass Cheng Xuanhu. But in the summer of this year, there was one thing that required a large amount of expenses, but it was not possible to not do it, because it was the order of his master Sun Simiao.

Three months later, it was midsummer, and frogs croaking in the forest at the foot of the mountain, cicadas yelling. Mei Zhenyi was fanning Sun Simiao in the back hall of Qiyunguan, while listening to him teach various classics. Sun Simiao suddenly said: "Teng'er, how long has it been since you woke up?"

Mei Zhenyi: "It's been nine months."

Sun Simiao nodded: "In another three months, it will be a whole year. My teacher said that I would stay by your side for a year. As the year is about to end, can I ask you to do something for me? Do it if you can do it, and there is no need to force me."

Sun Simiao treated Mei Zhenyi for twelve years. After he recovered from the illness, he accepted him as his disciple to train him carefully, but never made any special requests. At this time, the old god spoke for the first time. Mei Zhenyi quickly replied: "Master treats me as much as a mountain. I have always regretted that I did not do anything to repay you. What instructions do you always have? Just speak, I will definitely do it!"

Sun Simiao: "It's not that I repay me, I don't need you to repay anything. Do you still remember the worldly people whom you knelt on when you became a disciple that day? We all come from the worldly people, and we must not forget our roots and repay them. I want you to build something and transport it to my hometown to place it."

Mei Zhenyi asked, "What's it?"

Sun Simiao: "Have you seen the scriptures in front of the temple?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I have seen a large stone pillar with Buddha statues and scriptures engraved on several sides."

Sun Simiao: "I asked you to create such things, but the engraved on it is not Buddhist scriptures, but the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in the world. This stone pillar is 1 2 feet high, with eight sides and two feet wide on each side. I have compiled the texts and are the most common diseases and symptoms I encountered in my practice in recent years."

Mei Zhenyi understood as soon as he heard this. It turned out that what his master asked him to create was the legendary "Shi Tai Doctor". It is said that before Sun Simiao's death, he had erected an eight-sided stone pillar in his hometown, which carved his lifelong experience in practicing medicine. The most common symptoms in the folk were diagnosed and treated. After his death, the locals respectfully called this stone pillar Shi Tai Doctor. Mei Zhenyi had heard of this allusion before traveling through time, but she didn't expect that Sun Simiao would hand it over to do it himself.

The Imperial Doctor Lishi is indeed a matter. Some people say that Sun Simiao did this to take care of the people in his hometown and let everyone know how to treat them if they are sick? In fact, this stone pillar is not for ordinary people to see, but for folk doctors. As mentioned in the previous article, there were not many ordinary people who knew literacy in that era, so how could they understand the prescriptions on the inscription? Even if they could understand, they might not be able to treat themselves. If you don’t believe it, you can read this medical book now.

The doctor industry requires accumulating experience. In the era when masters and apprentices passed on, the most important thing that disciples learn besides classical knowledge was the experience of their master. Sun Simiao lived in his 140s and practiced medicine for more than 100 years. His lifelong experience in diagnosis and medication was a valuable asset, and he had to leave it to other doctors in the world. As mentioned in the previous article, Sun Simiao wrote a lot in his life, and many of his disciples had copied it, but in that era the circulation of books was greatly restricted. Carving inscriptions was the best way to spread. Anyone could copy or copy it and compile it into a book and keep it himself.

It was the first year of Kaiyao in the Tang Dynasty, which was 681 AD. If Mei Zhenyi remembered correctly, Sun Simiao was immortal in the first year of Yongchun, which was next year. There are two statements about Sun Simiao’s age and history. One said that he lived 101 years old, and the other said that he lived 141 years old. The birth year was apart forty years, but the death year was the same. Mei Zhenyi learned from Sun Simiao with her own ears that the old man was indeed 140 years old.

Sun Simiao has practiced and has reached the realm of becoming a true person, but his lifelong pursuit is to heal the sufferings of the world, not seeking immortality, nor to ascend to become an immortal. Mei Zhenyi sighed in her heart, knowing that the old man was explaining his affairs after his death, and he didn't know what to say, so he nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will do it properly and satisfy you."

As soon as he agreed, he went to Zhang Guo to discuss the matter. Of course, Zhang Guo also thought that he should do it seriously. What kind of stone should be used? Zhang Guo suggested using white marble produced in Ningguo County, that is, pure white marble. Mei Zhenyi disagreed and believed that although the stone was beautiful, it was not durable. He had learned modern chemistry knowledge and knew that calcium carbonate would be eroded by rain after a long time. He discussed to prepare to use large pieces of pure-color mountain jade as the surface for engraving, and bluestone as the foundation inside.

Of course this design is good, but what about the money? Not to mention how expensive the stone is, even if an ordinary stone is carved with two feet high and two feet wide stone columns on all sides, it will be sent to Guanzhong for placement. The cost is quite large. Mei Zhenyi's pocket money is definitely not enough.

Of course, this money should be paid for Jingwu Villa, and you have to go to find Cheng Xuanhu. When Zhang Guo went, Cheng Xuanhu replied: "Young Master wants to erect a monument for Sun Zhenren, so this matter should be done. However, the monument designed by the young master is very expensive, which is almost 40% of the annual income of Jingwu Villa. You must report to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion and can only be implemented after you have to pay it back."

Cheng Xuanhu did not disagree, but said that the use of such a large expense requires approval from the head of the family. At the same time, he also made two personal suggestions: "The monument that the young master wanted to erect was too expensive, so it was recommended to carve it out of ordinary bluestone. The construction of this place was far away from Guanzhong, which cost a lot of money. It was very inconvenient to send people to build it locally. It would be better to give Sun Zhenren a fee and ask someone to build it yourself after he returned to his hometown."

In terms of heart, Cheng Xuanhu said nothing wrong. Such a large expenditure really requires the approval of the head of the family. The two suggestions he made also make sense. There is no need to be so particular about the stone. Isn’t it also preserved for a hundred years by erecting monuments by the people? Instead of building such a heavy large piece of stone in Wuzhou and then transporting it to Guanzhong for a while, it is better to give Sun Simiao a sum of money and ask him to carve it locally after returning to his hometown, so that he will save more.

The same thing has a different meaning in the eyes of different people. Mei Zhenyi was a little confused when traveling to the Tang Dynasty and didn't know what he should do. After taking Sun Simiao as his teacher, she finally had her first goal in life, which was to learn from him. Sun Simiao's teachings solved his confusion about what he should do in this world for the time being, but did not solve the confusion about why he came to this world. After he was well prepared, he often felt depressed. This time, he was ordered by his master to build the Shi Tai Doctor, and finally felt that he had done something truly meaningful in this world. Of course, he had to be solemn and serious, fearing that he could not do his best.

Zhang Guo discussed with Mei Zhenyi: "Young Master, since this is the case, why not wait? After the master returns to Chang'an, there will be no problem with everything. Otherwise, you can say to the old god? Anyway, Zhenren Sun has no time limit."

Mei Zhenyi shook her head and said, "No, you must not delay. You must build a stone pagoda within this year and place it in the designated place of the old man." He knew very well in his heart that Sun Simiao would pass away next year, and this request must be fulfilled as soon as possible. And he also understood that this was the last test of the master's successor to the successor of the robe and bowl. He just told him not to let him do it, and he must do it. Everything depends on Mei Zhenyi's voluntary voluntary , so there is no need to discuss anything with Sun Simiao.

Zhang Guo suggested again: "How about asking your uncle Mr. Liu for help?"

Mei Zhenyi still shook her head: "My uncle has money, but that's his money. Why do you borrow such a large amount of money from him for no reason? Jingwu Villa is not without money! This is the business of the Mei family, mine."

Zhang Guo thought for a while and said, "Young Master, we actually have money. Isn't there a lot of it in Qi Yunguan's cellar? That Taoist Lu stayed."

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "Old Zhang, I actually thought of it too. If you really have no choice, just use that amount of money. It is a good solution to use it from the world and the world."

Zhang Guo widened his eyes and said, "It turns out that the young master had thought of it for a long time. The old slave is still worried about it here! That money is definitely enough."

Mei Zhenyi: "I'm still rich. I wanted to build the Green Snow Temple together, but this is not enough."

The two of them were calculating the small accounts here. Mei Yi came. After listening to their comments, he smiled and said, "I happen to have the number of missing. Since the young master wants to use the money, please take it from me."

Zhang Guo said in surprise: "Mei Yi, when did you save such a large amount of private money? This is not a small amount."

Mei Yi: "Have you forgotten what happened last year? Ningguo County lost a batch of tribute weapons. The young master asked me to help them find them. All relevant personnel from all over the world gave me generous gifts in private. If I don't accept them, they would not be relieved. So I will accept them for the time being. Now the young master is short of money, so I can use this money."

Mei Zhenyi: "Uncle Yi, why do I have the nerve to use your money?"

Mei Yi: "What can't be used? I don't think about how this money comes from? If the young master is really embarrassed, I will pay it back to me in the future."

Zhang Guo clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, the young master's lucky star is in a good way and there is no worries when he encounters something. Haven't this been solved?"

Mei Zhenyi sighed: "It's all solved. Mr. Zhang, please send someone to do it immediately. You must be careful and careful, especially not delaying the construction period."

Mei Yi asked, "Since there is nothing to worry about, why does the young master sigh so much at such a young age?"
