Chapter 81 The Heart of Compassion
Su Chen carried the medicine box and walked into the outer pavilion of the attic. The interior layout was exquisite and unique. The first thing that caught his eye was several silk and bamboo musical instruments hanging on the walls of the room, a collection of books on the table, and a series of books placed on the dark red table wood. Playing a guqin shows that the homeowner must be a guqin lover who is proficient in music.
Between the inner room of the attic and the outer pavilion, there is a screen. The screen is not painted with phoenix trees or mandarin ducks playing in the water. It is a screen made of silk damask material with thick black fonts embroidered on it. A piece of music and lyrics from Feng Yansi's "Butterfly Loves Flowers":
"It's cold outside the window and the sky is about to dawn, the incense prints have turned to ashes, and I sit up without a thought. In the courtyard, Cebu is reflected in the sky, and two magpies fly away in surprise behind the rolling curtains."
"On the screen, the robes are embroidered, and the feelings are reflected all over the Jiangnan Road. Night after night, I dream about nothing, and I know that the past is nowhere to be found."
The screen is beautiful, the meaning of the poem is elegant, and the silk fabric is used to cover it. It is looming, and you can barely see the outline of the inner pavilion, with a hazy artistic conception.
"My lady is inside!" Xiao He led Su Chen into the inner hall.
Han Yunpeng followed closely and wanted to follow up to see the situation.
Shen Jiaru walked to the entrance of the screen, turned around suddenly, and apologized to Han Yunpeng: "Mr. Han, inside is Miss Liu's boudoir. Except for women, it would be inconvenient for men to enter. Dr. Su is a doctor and can enter to investigate. , please also ask Mr. Han to wait at the outer pavilion."
"This... Okay!" Han Yunpeng is not an unreasonable person. He still has a certain moral bottom line and code of conduct. He also knows that forcing his way into a girl's boudoir will be criticized or not.
Although he is known as the young master of Dapeng and the beauty of a brothel, he considers himself romantic but not obscene.
A fragrant boudoir.
Su Chen sat beside the bed, holding a silk scarf and handkerchief in his hand, and placed it on Liu Mo Nong's skin, thus avoiding direct contact with the skin and avoiding suspicion.
In fact, in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, the etiquette between men and women was not as serious as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, because Neo-Confucianism had not yet appeared, coupled with the constant turmoil in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which led to an open atmosphere, women's social status was not as low as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and their temperament There are many lively, willful and unruly women, and the constraints of etiquette are not that serious.
For example, the allusions of "Hedong Lion" and "Rouge Tiger" all originated from the Northern Song Dynasty. According to unofficial records, even Zhao Kuangyin was caught up with a rolling pin by his sister because he made a few complaints at home when he was doing the inspection. The lesson from the street is also a side portrait.
"The fever is severe!" Su Chen frowned. Liu Mo Nong's body temperature was very high. It was indeed a severe cold caused by the wind and cold, but also due to excessive convulsions after falling into the water, the cold yin air of the cold river water entering his body, etc. It caused other complications, far more serious than a cold.
There are no anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-pyretics at the moment, so it is impossible to achieve a good fever-reducing effect. If the fever continues, Liu Mo Nong will easily develop pneumonia, myocarditis, meningitis, decreased systemic immunity, difficulty breathing, and the possibility of death. of.
"Can my young lady's illness be cured?" Xiao He asked crying.
Su Chen sighed and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but it can be saved!"
Xiao He was overjoyed when he heard this and wiped away tears and said: "If you can save the young lady, I will never call you a slut again."
"I'm not a slut to begin with!" Su Chen glared at her, but she was just a little girl, so he didn't intend to argue with her at this time.
Su Chen said: "I have a way to lower your young lady's body temperature. You go get a basin of warm water, wet a cloth handkerchief, wipe Miss Liu's body first to dissipate the heat, and then use my method..."
"Okay!" Xiao He heard that he had an idea, so he turned around and went out to fetch water. But as soon as he reached the outer pavilion, the door of the attic was pushed open, and Mother Sang led a doctor into the room.
"Xiao He, where are you going?" Sang's mother asked.
Xiao He replied: "I went to fetch water. There is a doctor treating my young lady?"
"Here comes the doctor? Is he a miracle doctor from Runzhou?" Sang's mother was suspicious. She didn't stop at the outer pavilion and went straight into the inner room.
When they came indoors, Sang's mother was a little shocked when she saw Su Chen. This young man was too young and didn't look like a doctor at all. He looked more like a scholar stealing a young lady.
"Are you a doctor? Which medicine hall in Runzhou do you practice at?"
"Baohetang!" Su Chen responded casually.
Mother Sang was stunned and said with some confusion: "Baohe Hall, which medicine hall is it..."
"Miss Liu's condition is serious. We are not discussing the size of the medicine hall now. We should treat Miss Liu quickly, otherwise, she will be in danger." Su Chen wanted to change the topic and avoid this kind of question and answer.
"Wait!" Sang's mother said suspiciously: "I have never heard of this Baohe Hall. It is not a big medicine hall in Runzhou. You are so young and more like a scholar. You have doubts about whether you are a doctor. How can I believe that you can cure diseases?
?”
The reputation of Baohe Medicine Hall was still great twenty years ago; but in the past ten years or so, Su Mingyuan went to Jinling to be an imperial doctor. The Su family was not prosperous, and it was passed down from generation to generation. Baohe Medicine Hall was in Runzhou City.
It no longer makes a living as a clinic. Therefore, people in Runzhou have long forgotten about this medicine hall.
Baiweitang, Tongrentang, Kangzhentang, Jishengtang, and Anlintang are the current major medical clinics in Runzhou City.
Su Chen retorted: "You will know after curing Miss Liu."
Mother Sang doubted in her heart, she no longer believed in Su Chen, she shook her head and frowned: "Humph, saving people is like putting out fires, I can't allow you to delay and fool around here. I have already invited the miracle doctor from Baiweitang, and it will be better for him to diagnose and treat you."
Be safe, this young doctor, please get out of the way and move to the outer pavilion temporarily to wait!"
Su Chen glared at Sang's mother. Since the other party was so disrespectful, there was no need for him to be hot-tempered and cold-hearted. He stood up and said coldly: "In that case, I'll leave now. I hope you won't regret it!"
He stood up and closed the medicine box beside the bed, picked it up and walked out, just in time to meet Doctor Liu who was walking in face to face.
"Brother!"
"Junior Brother Liu!"
Su Chen did not expect that the doctor invited by the Xiangyun Pavilion this time was his junior brother Liu Sijing, whom he had just made friends with.
"Senior brother, come here to see Miss Liu?"
"Yeah, but I haven't taken a fancy to it yet. They don't believe me, so I'm planning to resign."
Mother Sang stood there, dumbfounded as she saw this scene. It was a bit unbelievable that this young man dressed as a scholar turned out to be the senior brother of Divine Doctor Liu.
"Doctor Liu, what are you doing?"
Divine Doctor Liu's face darkened and he said: "This person is my senior brother. If you don't believe him, you don't believe me. If you neglect senior brother, you are neglecting Liu. In this case, Xiangyun Hall should hire someone else, right?"
Mother Sang's face immediately turned bitter. Although there were many large and small clinics in Runzhou City, Liu Sijing was definitely second to none in terms of medical skills and character, ranking among the top three.
At first, Xiangyun Hall found several doctors and prescribed decoctions, but none of them worked, or asked her to prepare for the funeral. This time, Mother Sang personally came to invite Liu Sijing from Baiweitang to Hualou for treatment.
, this was an exception, but now I have offended someone inexplicably, and I feel extremely helpless.
"No, no, no, no... Doctor Liu, please stay, I know I'm wrong." Mother Sang is also a well-rounded person, the kind of person who can put aside her face at any time. She bowed to Su Chen and Doctor Liu and said, "It's the slave family.
I'm worried that Liu Mo Nong's eagerness will offend the little miracle doctor, so I would like to ask the little miracle doctor not to be offended and not to behave like a slave."
Doctor Liu looked at Su Chen and asked him to decide whether to stay or continue to leave.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath. Compared with a moment of offense, the latter was obviously more important than a life. Now was not the time to vent his anger. He glanced at Sang's mother. People in the market are not immune to this.
, it is normal for such philistine people to exist in this land of fireworks.
"It's important to save people, Junior Brother Liu, let's come and check on Miss Liu's condition." Su Chen walked back to Liu Monong's house again and did not take care of this mother Sang.
Doctor Liu nodded slightly. Although he had just expressed his intention to protect his senior brother's face, he still felt that saving people was important. If Su Chen insisted on going his own way and was narrow-minded, although he could follow Su Chen and leave this time, he would still leave behind him in his heart.
