Chapter 22 Xiaojian Soup
Seeing Yang Ze showing a puzzled look, Zhou Yujin stopped talking about his affairs. After all, it was involved in the governor's condition, and he didn't know what Yang Ze came to Guazhou for, so it was difficult to tell it out directly.
Zhou Yujin said: "I'm not in a hurry. But Mr. Xiao Yang, why do you come to Guazhou? You might as well tell me if I can help you. No matter what, I still know most of the things in Guazhou."
Yang Ze thought about it. Last time he met Zhou Yujin, it didn't matter if he didn't say something, but now he met again, and maybe he will work together in the future, so what should be said must be said so that Zhou Yujin will be in a bad mood in the future and will not look good with each other.
Thinking of this, Yang Ze mentioned that he was recommended by the magistrate of the Security County to take the exam for scholars, and then recommended him to enter the Guazhou Medical Center. He also took out the two letters, but because the envelope was muffled, he could only let Zhou Yujin look at the envelope.
After hearing Yang Ze's words, Zhou Yujin read the letters of the two letters again. He was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Xiao Yang, then we will work together in the future. With your talent, it would be easy to pass the exam for a scholar."
Yang Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I thought so too, but when I was on the Gafanpo that day, Brother Zhou once said that the location in the clinic was a radish and a pit, and one would have to come out if one entered. If there was no position, how could I get in? If I could only get a candidate doctor, it would be better not to go to the clinic! I honestly opened a pharmacy in Guazhou, and my life would be more free and easy."
Zhou Yujin smiled, patted Yang Ze's hand, and lowered his voice: "Just a few days ago, the location of the clinic was still a pit, but now the radish is about to be pulled out, and there are probably more than one empty space..."
Speaking of this, he paused, as if he had thought about it in his heart, and then said: "As long as Mr. Xiao Yang is low-key, don't show off on this storm. After the situation is calm, then you will recommend it to your brother, and with the letter from the magistrate of the Security County, you will not be in any way hindered when you enter the medical center."
At this time, the guy in the restaurant brought the wine and food one after another. The two of them poured the wine and started to eat and drink. Mu Gen sat down, not listening to them, but became very edible. He was young and had few worries.
Although Yang Ze is not old, he is not young anymore. How could he be less worried? After hearing what Zhou Yujin said, he began to think about it and guessed that something must have happened in the Guazhou Medical Center, but if Zhou Yujin didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to ask!
After two glasses of wine, Yang Ze asked, "I went to see the governor today, but I didn't see him. Then I wanted to meet the governor again, but I didn't see him either. I stuffed some money to the gatekeepers, but I didn't ask anything. They seemed very annoyed and unwilling to talk to me. Why? Is this true to me alone, or are those servants always like this?"
Zhou Yujin laughed and said, "Now the people in the yamen are irritated. Not only those servants, I think even the Chief Shi is the same!"
"The chief secretary has the surname Xiang, his name is Xiang Chengwei, and his Jin'an family?" Yang Ze asked.
Zhou Yujin nodded and said, "Yes, Xiang Changshi is from Jin'an. However, this Changshi is very difficult to speak, and has an outrageous temper. There is no one in the entire Guazhou officialdom who is not afraid of him. Even the governor is tolerant of him. Let's not talk about these things. For my brother, I have a medical record. I want to ask Mr. Xiao Yang for advice. I hope Mr. Xiao Yang can give me some advice."
The medical record that Zhou Yujin wanted to talk about was from the Guazhou Governor, but he did not intend to say that it was the disease caused by the governor. He was afraid that Yang Ze was nervous and that the doctors in the Guazhou Medical Center could not be cured, so he also lost confidence. In this way, Yang Ze's opinions could not be used for reference. On the contrary, if they only regarded them as ordinary medical records, then Yang Ze would have a much greater reference value if he dared to give his opinions.
He talked about the various symptoms of the Kazuna disease and said that Wumei Decoction is not easy to use. Now he plans to treat it by worms in his stomach.
After listening to Zhou Yujin's description, Yang Ze thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Even if he vomited insects, he can't say that this disease was caused by insects. Spitting roundworms may not be all mixed with cold and heat. Wumei Decoction cannot be cured!"
Zhou Yujin nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. It's certain to change the prescription, but it's not caused by insects, but it still needs to be diagnosed. Now I have thought of such a method, which is a folk method. You can see if it is feasible."
He treated the white-bearded doctor's method as if he had thought of it himself and told Yang Ze.
Yang Ze could hardly believe his ears. After a while, he said angrily and amusedly: "Brother Zhou, how did you come up with this method? I don't agree with this method. I advise you not to use it for the patient. No matter what, you are a doctor, not a charlatan!"
Zhou Yujin laughed dryly and said, "Then Mr. Yi Xiaoyang, how should I use medicine for this disease?"
Yang Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "If I can't see the patient with my own eyes, just listening to Brother Zhou's description, I'm afraid that the method I said will not work, and I may prescribe the wrong prescription. If I don't see the patient with my own eyes, I prescribe it based on my own ideas. This is a taboo for doctors!"
"It's okay, it's not that you really asked you to treat that person. I just want to hear your opinions and use this as evidence. Mr. Xiao Yang doesn't need to worry!" Zhou Yujin smiled. He saw that Yang Ze should have a solution.
Yang Ze said: "The pulse is thin and weak, and the moss is not thick, which is undoubtedly a deficiency syndrome. Do not eat, do not think about drinking, vomiting roundworms, and the pain is in the stomach. These are all signs of spleen deficiency. There is a bulge in the lower abdomen and it is attacking from time to time. This may not necessarily be an insect in the stomach. It sounds like a cold evil and qi is reversed. Brother Zhou used Wumei Decoction to remove cold, but Wumei Decoction has white peony and light scutellaria baicalensis, which will increase coldness, so the effect is not good. According to me, it is best to replenish the internal deficiency, which may be effective."
After hearing the words "Put the internal deficiency", Zhou Yujin quickly turned seven or eight prescriptions in his mind. They could all be replenished, but he was not sure which one to use. If he treated ordinary people, he could quickly make up his mind, but he could not help but be careless about the governor. Who told him to be an official and wanted to be promoted to another level!
Yang Ze did not have these concerns. He said, "I'll prescribe a prescription for Brother Zhou's reference. But one thing must be explained in advance. I have never seen that patient. Without seeing it with my own eyes, the prescription I prescribed cannot be guaranteed to work. How to diagnose and treat it depends on your own."
Of course, Zhou Yujin agreed. He was about to ask the waiter to get paper and pen, but Yang Ze said, "This recipe is very simple. I will understand as soon as I say to Brother Zhou."
Yang Ze explained the prescription, he was talking about "Xiao Jianzhong Decoction". He did not see the patient, but according to Zhou Yujin's description, the prescription he prescribed was very symptomatic.
But Yang Ze was very careful and dared to prescribe prescriptions without seeing the patient. This is a taboo for doctors. The Xiaojianzhong Decoction he mentioned was a reference for Zhou Yujin, but if it was left on paper and written in black and white, if there was something unexpected in the future, he would not be able to explain it clearly, so it would be better to be cautious.
After hearing the prescription, Zhou Yujin's eyes lit up. He said, "This prescription is very wonderful, it is simply amazing! Mr. Xiao Yang, which medical book did you read this prescription?"
Yang Ze thought to himself: "I think it is in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", which is of course a wonderful prescription!" But he said: "I just heard the patient's symptoms mentioned by Brother Zhou. I thought of it temporarily. I don't know if it works!"
Zhou Yujin was silent. After a while, he said, "It's really hard for people to die, and goods to throw away goods! All of us in the medical department are helpless about this disease, but Mr. Xiao Yang only thought about it and came up with a wonderful prescription. Compared with you, we are really not worthy of being called doctors. We can't think of the prescription you mentioned no matter what!"
Yang Ze hurriedly said, "It's not true. Brother Zhou, you can't think of the prescription because you have considered the condition too much, and I have never seen that patient at all. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong. I am a stupid and bold. I say whatever I think and prescribe a prescription randomly. It's not certain whether it's good or not! Brother Zhou is so arrogant, but he wants to kill me!"
Zhou Yujin laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao Yang is too modest. I think this recipe should be effective. Come on, let's drink and give you a drink to me."
The two of them didn't talk about medical skills anymore, and they drank a small jar of wine, but they didn't eat much food. There were still a lot of vegetables left on a large table. Mugen asked the shopkeeper to pack the leftovers and took them back to the inn.
After Yang Ze bid farewell to Zhou Yujin, he was quite drunk and walked shakingly, so he had to help Mugen and return to the shopkeeper. Yang Ze sat beside the bed, Mugen took off his shoes, and Mugen asked, "Young master, why are you talking about the prescription to others again? When I was at home, I saw that the master never talked about the prescription to others. They were all profitable prescriptions, and they should be kept as heirlooms!"
Yang Ze made a drink and smiled and said, "I'm a petty man, my father is not generous. He even taught you, a junior apprentice, that's a stingy guy. What do you know? There is no prescription in this world that can keep secrets forever, and in the end it will be known by others. Besides, if the prescription is spread, can't it save more people? This is a good thing."
Suddenly, Yang Ze patted Mu Gen and said, "Even if it was you, didn't you do a great thing a few days ago and save a child? Do you know whose son is the child you saved?"
Mu Genqi said, "I know, it's Xiang's son. We're separated from Xiang's sister-in-law today. You've drunk too much, why are you so forgetful!"
Yang Ze yelled and said, "Sister-in-law Xiang is the wife of Guazhou Changshi. The child named Xiaobao is the only child of Changshi. He loves him like a baby. You saved their children. Xiaomugen, Xiaomugen, you have a bright future!"
Mugen stood up, but without the surprise of his bright future, he asked in confusion: "Changshi? Who is that? Is Xiang's sister-in-law's husband called Xiang Changshi?"
He had never cared about Xiang Zhang's affairs, nor did he know what Changshi did. He was a small apprentice, and it would be useless to know this. If it weren't for Yang Ze's relationship, he wouldn't have even had any relationship with the county magistrate of Baoan County throughout his life.
Yang Ze said: "The chief official is not a name, but an official name. Xiang Dajie's husband is an official!"
"Is there any chief in our county who is the chief?" Mu Gen asked.
Yang Ze smiled and said, "It is bigger than the magistrate of Wu County in our county!"
Mu Gen was shocked and shouted, "Good than the county magistrate? What kind of official is that? Governor, Governor... Oh, it's not as big as the governor!"
"That's not. The chief is the assistant to the governor, and he is the assistant... Hey, why do I tell you this? I think I'm really drunk and I have to snub for a while!" Yang Ze waved his hand and asked Mu Gen to go out, but he poured it on the bed and fell asleep.
Mugen left the guest room and was still shocked. He went to ask the inn's staff. When he was confirmed that the chief was a high-ranking official, he was very excited and thought that he had finally made it through. Maybe he could enter the yamen to be an official in the future. His biggest wish was to be a captain, with a knife at his waist and a chain on his hands. How powerful it was.
Zhou Yujin left the restaurant and walked back to his home slowly. He had a much alcohol tolerance than Yang Ze. After all, he was a person in the officialdom and could not make it without a little alcohol tolerance. Along the way, he repeatedly dialected the prescription that Yang Ze said, and felt that this prescription was really good and had a very famous style. If he hadn't heard what Yang Ze said with his own ears, he would have thought that it was a prescription prescribed by a famous doctor in the country. Ordinary doctors would definitely not be able to prescribe this prescription.
When he returned home, Zhou Yujin entered the study room, sat at the desk, wrote the prescription out. Looking at the prescription, he thought to himself: "I should try it. Maybe I will really cure the disease of the governor. Compared with the method of Ma Denggao, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. The governor will thank me, and maybe he will just give up Ma Denggao's official position and let me take over!"
Thinking of starting to start, Zhou Yujin immediately asked the servant to bring him sober soup. After drinking sober soup, he washed up and changed into official uniforms, cheered up, and rushed to the governor's yamen.
Zhou Yujin rushed to the governor's yamen, entered the gate, looked back at the medical center, and saw that there was no one in front of the medical center, so he entered the governor's yamen. He did not seek to see the governor first, but went to see the chief.
A person suddenly flashed out from behind the gate of the medical center. It turned out to be Ji Xinben. He had seen Zhou Yujin for a long time and was wondering why Zhou Yujin came today. Hasn't this guy been pretending to be sick these days? But when he saw Zhou Yujin entering the governor's yamen, he was immediately surprised. He thought that it was Zhou Yujin who came up with a solution to treat the disease, so he went to see the governor alone?
Ji Xinben hurried into the lobby and saw Ma Denggao sitting in the hall, his eyes were dull and he looked listless. He shouted: "My father-in-law, something is wrong!"
Ma Denggao was shocked, jumped up from his chair, and asked with a tremolo, "Well, what's the matter?"
Ji Xinben beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "The son-in-law just saw that Zhou Yujin, the traitor, actually entered the governor's yamen alone. He must have come up with a way to cure the governor, leave us behind, and get the merits by himself!"
With a loud bang, Ma Denggao sat back on the chair heavily, and said in a daze for a long time, unable to say a word.
Ji Xinben said urgently: "My father-in-law, you are talking, how should we deal with it?"
Ma Denggao slowly shook his head and said, "It's over, it's all over. You and I will never be able to gain a foothold in this Guazhou city again..."
Seeing that Ma Denggao was stupid and had no choice, Ji Xinben was anxious and angry. He stomped his feet and decided that since his father-in-law couldn't come up with a solution, then he might as well go to the court himself. Even if he couldn't cure the disease of the governor, what would happen? He wouldn't make trouble? He would still do this even if he didn't have to learn!
Ji Xinben ignored Ma Denggao, turned around and ran out of the medical center, crossed the street, and ran into the governor's yamen. Although he was so stupid that he dared to do things that Ma Denggao did not dare to do, because of his stupidity, his head was not too smart. He was different from Zhou Yujin. Zhou Yujin went to see the chief minister first, while he hurriedly ran to see the governor.
The governor of Guazhou is one of the three major governors of Dingbei Province. Even the governor of Dingbei, Wei Hou, would give him some face. He is truly a real and powerful figure.
The governor of Guazhou is named Han Pan. He is 49 years old this year. He has not yet celebrated his fifty birthday. As a key member in charge of the government, he is truly a golden age. As long as he does not make any mistakes in office, he is very likely to enter Beijing to become an official. In addition, Han Pan has a gentle temper and is a good man. No one can offend anyone, so he has a very good reputation. If a person with this personality enters Beijing, as long as he gets along well with him, he may be able to become a high-ranking official like a minister or even a minister!
However, the current governor Han is so ill that he can't even get out of bed. These days, he has lost weight because of his abnormal diet and has lost more than ten pounds than before. He lay on the hospital bed and didn't even have the strength to hum.
In Han Pan's bedroom, his wife Murong sat. Murong was also in her forties. She had taken good care of herself, but now she has lost a lot of weight and her hair has become much whiter.
Murong was sitting by the bed and talking to Han Pan. She said, "Husband, if you have to endure it for a few more days, I guess the doctor in Linzhou will arrive soon. Maybe it's already on the road and will arrive in Guazhou soon."
Han Pan closed his eyes and nodded softly. He was just seriously ill, but he was not confused. He could understand what his wife said, and naturally he was hoping that the doctor would come soon to relieve his pain.
At this moment, the servant came to report that Ji Xinben was asking for a meeting. Murong had long since no hope of the people from the Guazhou Medical Center, but the doctor came to ask for a meeting, so she naturally wanted to meet.
After Ji Xinben was called into the room, he saluted first, and then the first sentence was: "Mr. Governor, Madam, Bei Zhi and the doctors in the medical center thought of a way to cure the adults. When the doctor Zhou came later, he would treat the adults."
He wanted to compete for Zhou Yujin's achievements, but he didn't know what method Zhou Yujin wanted to use, so he said it was the collective achievements of the doctors in the medical department. It is estimated that no matter how Zhou Yujin was, he would not dare to be an enemy of the doctors in the medical department. At that time, as long as he cured the governor's illness, all the doctors would make all the achievements, of course, including Ma Denggao and himself. If it was not cured, it would be Zhou Yujin's treatment, and Zhou Yujin would take the blame.
Murong was overjoyed when she heard this, but she was a little worried and asked, "Will it make things difficult for my master like the method that Dr. Ma said last time?"
Ji Xinben whined, he didn't know how Zhou Yujin would treat his illness, and whether he would make things difficult for governor Han. Naturally, he didn't know that he was just here to seize the merits!
Ji Xinben glanced around and found that Zhou Yujin had not come at all. He complained in his heart, was he wrong? Zhou Yujin entered the governor's mansion, could it be that he was not here to treat the governor's illness?
Seeing that Ji Xinben did not answer, Murong said strangely: "Doctor Ji, why don't you answer me?"
Ji Xinben gritted his teeth and said, "The way to cure the disease must be done by the doctor Zhou. This is not convenient to say!"
Murong's face suddenly became darker, she waved her hand and said, "It seems that it is an unreliable method. You go down!" She sent Ji Xinben to leave, and she didn't want to answer him anymore.
Ji Xinben was extremely embarrassed. He didn't blame himself for coming here rashly, but he blamed Zhou Yujin for not coming yet. He also blamed Zhou Yujin for not seeing the governor's doctor, so why did he go to the governor's mansion alone? It was inexplicable.
