Chapter 11 Garlic Juice and Mountain Spring
The manager of the Lv family did not dare to neglect it, so he asked Zeng Yu to sit in the hall first. He went inside to report, and soon came out and said politely: "Doctor Zeng, please."
Zeng Yu smiled and said, "I am not a full-time practitioner, but I am still studying to seek fame and fortune."
The manager of the Lufu family said, "Oh oh oh": "Please, Mr. Zeng."
Zeng Yu asked Sixi to wait in the hall. He followed the manager of the Lufu to pass through the hall. Behind the hall was a large courtyard. Houses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all had patios. In geoscience, the courtyard was used to nourish qi storage. The courtyard in Lufu is not small, one meter wide and two meter long. There were a few pots of flowers by the patio. I couldn’t see what flowers were at night, and the fragrance was a bit mixed.
"Ah, ah, it hurts so much, I'm going to die." Someone in the right wing room was moaning in pain.
The manager of the Lv Mansion stepped forward a few steps and raised his voice and said, "Master, that Dr. Zeng is here." He still called Dr. Zeng.
An old gentry walked out of the wing room. He was of medium size and a little hunched. He wore a pure penis and a big sleeve in his cross-collar collar. Because he was shining on his back, Zeng Yu couldn't see the old man's face. He had seen Lu Huai ten years ago in the county government office and now he has no impression of him. I wonder if this old man is Lu Huai?
The old squire looked at Zeng Yu. Zeng Yu was so young that he was not as good as he could cure a disease. He was a little unhappy and bowed a little and said, "Where did Dr. Zeng come from?" His tone was cold.
Zeng Yu could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in the tone of the old gentry and bowed, "The Master said, 'Just judge people by appearance, lose their son Yu'. Don't look at the young man who is young, but I only say one thing: The young man in the house can cure his illness."
The old squire heard Zeng Yu say good things and changed his face to say, "It's not that I'm negligent, but that Xiao Sun is really sick--"
Zeng Yu said: "The young master of the family eats too much glutinous rice, and the disease gets urgent. If the medicine is right, it will be cured quickly. If it is delayed and not cured--" Zeng Yu shook his head, and the consequences are self-evident.
"Then please ask Dr. Zeng to treat Xiao Sun." The old gentry Su Ke entered the room.
There were four women in the room. Two of them rushed to avoid the inner room when they saw Zeng Yu coming in. The remaining two were servants. There was a bamboo couch under the north window. A young man with a naked upper body tossed and turned on the bamboo couch, holding his stomach and moaning constantly, sweating profusely, his face turned blue, and looked extremely painful.
The old squire frowned and said worriedly: "Doctor Zeng, this is Xiao Sun. I have eaten too much rice dumplings these two days. I woke up early today and said that I was feeling gastrointestinal discomfort. The abdominal pain in the afternoon was worsening. By dusk, the pain was like a twitch, and it had been more than an hour of rolling and thrusting."
"Have you eaten rice dumplings before the Dragon Boat Festival?" Zeng Yu nodded, walked closer and reached out and pressed the young man's belly. The young man's belly was bloated and hard, and the breath smelled stenched out of his mouth. He looked at the whites of his eyes and knew it. He said to the old squire: "Sir, let the kitchen take a pound of garlic and mash it with half a bucket of Yixi Mountain Spring Water, and drink it together. The disease will be cured." The tone is unquestionable. It is necessary to be a doctor. If you still doubt whether you are not confident in taking medicine, how can you make others believe you?
After a moment of pondering, the old squire ordered the servant to do it. The garlic is available now, and the Xishan Spring is not far away. Soon, I took it. There was a large pot of spring water and garlic juice. One servant helped the boy sit up, and the other carried a large pot for the boy to drink. The boy refused to drink it after taking a sip. This was really too difficult, and there was such a large pot-
The old squire stepped forward and advised, "Qing'er, the good medicine is bitter, just drink it hard, and your stomach will not hurt after drinking it."
The boy was obviously spoiled and refused to drink. He would rather tilt his stomach and hold his stomach and scream in pain. A woman in the inner room also advised: "Good grandson, take a few sips, this stomach hurts so much."
The other woman was the teenager's mother, and said, "Xiaoqing drinks quickly, and it will not hurt after drinking."
Zeng Yu thought to himself what kind of disease this mother-in-law could cure. When Zhang Jingyang came, I would have my credit. "I'm not going to get him, and it's useless to drink only a few sips. I'm going to drink all the food. Prepare a clean bucket to prevent him from vomiting. He asked two male servants to help-" and said to the old gentry: "Sir, please leave the room and avoid it. Don't let the turbid air collide, as it may be detrimental to the old gentry."
Seeing that Zeng Yu was determined, the old gentry was obviously confident, so he followed Zeng Yu to the patio. The two male servants then went in to help the servant fill the young garlic juice. Naturally, they were all yelling. Finally, they were all filled, but they heard the sound of "Wow" vomiting. Some servant said in surprise: "Doctor, you have vomited after you drink it."
Zeng Yu replied by the courtyard: "It's okay, it's better to vomit. If it's smoother, then it's okay."
The boy in the room vomited a stinking smell. Zeng Yu couldn't stand outside the door, so he walked a few steps to the patio. The old squire came over and bowed, "I'm fine, Dr. Zeng, please sit in the small hall."
This old gentry is Lu Hanlin and Lu Huai. When I saw it in person, I still had some impression. Zeng Yu followed Lu Huai to the small hall and sat down. He tasted two Wufeng Yunwu Tea from our county and explained: "Mr. Lu, it is true that the late child passed down the medical skills, but the late child was not a doctor. He was only influenced by his childhood and remembered many prescriptions. It was a coincidence that the late child originally came to ask the old man for a letter, which was really presumptuous."
When Lu Huai, who was the fourth-rank maid Shaoqing resigned and lived in vain, heard this, raised his eyebrows and said "Oh", and his tone became a little different. He instantly replied to his original identity as a gentry boss from a patient who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and said lightly: "I have been living in vain for many years and have always refused to ask for help from public offices. Doctor Zeng should not make things difficult for me."
Zeng Yu said intimately: "It's so hard to ask for someone. I'm still treating his grandson. If I didn't have this, I'm afraid I won't be turned away." He said: "How dare I disturb the old man with civil affairs? The old man is an honest official and does not obey the powerful. His noble character makes him admire him very much. He may not remember it. He had visited the old man ten years ago, and his style was unforgettable."
Lu Huai listened carefully to the grandson's moans in the wing room on the other side of the courtyard, and it seemed that the garlic juice in the spring was effective and felt a little more comfortable. He said, "I am so impatient, I really can't remember where I met Brother Zeng Shi."
Zeng Yudao: "In the 28th year of Jiajing, the county magistrate of this county was Wuxianzun. The old man returned home in that year--"
Lu Huai nodded with his head.
Zeng Yu said again: "In August of that year, Wuxianzun held a child prodigy banquet. I was lucky enough to visit Mr. Lu's demeanor at the child prodigy banquet."
Lu Huai looked at Zeng Yu with a smile on his face and nodded, "It turned out to be a little child prodigy from that time. Now he is a handsome young scholar. Oh, the surname Zeng. I remember that there is a boy named Zeng. He is quick-witted and good at painting. Wu Hou Yuzhi is Xie Jiabaoshu, which is you?"
Zeng Yu said: "Shame, it is the student who has been praised by Wuxian County and has been wasted no results until now."
Lu Huai heard the noise in the other side of the room, and didn't know what the current situation of his grandson was. He said absent-mindedly: "Brother Zeng Shi was young and he still had to work hard and improve his knowledge naturally. He didn't have to care too much about the fame and reputation of the academic field. The key is to study and self-cultivation."
Zeng Yuxin said, "Mr. Lu, I still have widowed mother and young sister to support me. I know etiquette and food and clothing. This scholar's fame is very important to me, and I must pursue everything." He stood up and sang to the wing room over there, and asked, "What's wrong?"
A servant replied, "Young Master is showing respect, you are showing respect!" Yu Han was happy.
Zeng Yu turned back and smiled at Lu Huai and said, "Young master in your family is fine. Have a good sleep and you will still feel refreshed tomorrow. Don't overeat in the future. Eat less greasy food."
The room quieted down, and there were no more groans and pain. Lu Huai felt relieved, remembering Zeng Yu's request for his letters, and said, "Brother Zeng Shi has a lot of knowledge and excellent medical skills. Thanks to Brother Zeng Shi's treatment of Xiao Sun, I just don't know what happened to Brother Zeng Shi's husband for writing letters?"
Zeng Yu bluntly stated that his college entrance examination failed, and his brothers were scrambling to wander around. Now he was wandering with his widowed mother and young sister. He wanted to ask for an opportunity for a college entrance examination. The college entrance examination was not as good as the provincial examination. In addition to the chief examiner, there were also supervisors and officials who could supervise each other. Moreover, the provincial examination was strictly regulated and it was difficult to have any compatibility. The college entrance examination was basically decided by the deputy envoy of the province, so there was a turning point. Some provinces had the precedent for holding a re-examination after the college entrance examination. For example, a candidate was talented and famous, but he failed to take the exam due to illness or other important reasons before the exam. In order to show his pity, the master of the college entrance examination specially approved the candidate to participate in the re-examination-
——Of course, this kind of re-examination is not held separately for the candidate. It is often asked to rush to other prefectures to participate in the examinations of this prefecture. Because there are tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 children in a province, it is impossible to concentrate on holding the examinations in one place. The examination period is determined by the deputy envoy of the school. Huang Guoqing, deputy envoy of the school in Jiangxi Province, held the examinations in Guangxin Prefecture in April, will preside over the examinations of the six counties of Fuzhou County in Fuzhou, and then the examinations of Yuanzhou Prefecture. Zeng Yu thought of Fuzhou or Yuanzhou again. He did not want to wait for another three years, and he might not be able to pass the examinations in three years. The chances of being admitted to the re-examination are greater. Because he received special attention, Zeng Yu was confident that he could impress Huang Tixue with his own words. Now he wanted to ask Lu Huai and Lu Hanlin to write a letter to Huang Tixue to give him such an opportunity to re-examination.
