Chapter 37 The Prodigal
Which family's prodigal son is this? Is the medical book handed down from the ancestors for sale? I didn't know how to reply to her for a moment.
Seeing that she was only seven or eight years old, he didn't take her seriously and just looked at Zuo Guanglu.
Uncle Lu was also frightened by these words and hurriedly looked at Brother Monkey.
Brother Monkey rolled his eyes at Qixun and thought to himself, our family is not short of money now, why do you ask this?
In fact, Qixun just copied it by himself, and whether he sold it or not was secondary. Without asking, he always felt that his work was in vain.
And she really felt that medical skills and prescriptions were skills that could save lives and heal the wounded. The wider the spread, the better. At least the more people in the country who could learn to use it, the better.
If given the chance, she felt that the third sister, a miracle doctor, would be the biggest waste of talent if she did not open the door to teach students.
After Brother Monkey glared at her, he said to the shopkeeper: "There are indeed medical books at home. If you accept them, I can sell them to you."
The shopkeeper thought, if it was not a prodigal, then this book would be just mediocre and not a precious medical classic. Otherwise, who would sell the ancestral medical skills? Qing is waiting for his ancestors to show up and take care of it.
Brother Monkey understood the deeper meaning of the expression on the shopkeeper's face. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes again and explained: "It's not an ordinary medical book. It's said to be passed down from ancestors. It's a rare medical book accumulated over generations."
The shopkeeper was surprised: "Is this...that no one in the family is studying medicine anymore? Does your family know that you plan to sell medical books?"
"My third sister has superb medical skills, even better than my grandfather who once worked in the Imperial Hospital. But my third sister said that doctors save lives and heal the wounded. Most of the medical classics are the result of the lifetime efforts of generations of sages. The benevolence of doctors should be treated as such.
It is our duty to save lives and heal the wounded, and the legacy of our ancestors should be passed down to the future generations. There is no need to cherish the legacy of our ancestors and worry about the fame and fortune of our family. If we take out medical books and make the world more brilliant doctors, we will live up to the legacy of our ancestors.
, it can be considered as doing something practical for the people of the world."
The shopkeeper didn't bother to worry about whether the young man's sister really had superb medical skills. Just hearing what he said made him stunned. If it was really his sister who said it, regardless of her medical skills, her magnanimity alone would be admirable.
The young man with the picturesque features smiled brightly and said proudly: "Besides, my third sister also said that not to mention medical books, it is the teachings of masters. People's talents are different, and the skills they learn are also different. It's not all about light.
With medical books, you can learn superb medical skills. There are so many medical students in the world, and there are only a handful of them who can be called miracle doctors. Not everyone has the amazing talent of my third sister."
Seeing the young man praising his third sister, the shopkeeper also became interested, but he didn't mention the medical book and just asked: "Is your sister's medical skills really good? How many of our Rendetang people are there?"
He is a doctor, and he is considered to be the best doctor in this county. If it is convenient, I hope that my sister can come to our hospital to sit and have some time. I can also have some exchanges with the doctor in our hospital."
Having said that, looking at this young man, he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and his sister is probably even younger. Medical skills are no better than others. They require years of experience. The knowledge in optical books is useless, so he actually does not have any medical skills.
I don't quite believe what this young man said.
Seeing the young man nodding, he added: "As for the medical book you mentioned, we haven't seen it, so it's not easy to judge its value. If it is indeed a rare book, of course we should accept it. I heard that your ancestor was an imperial physician, and we doctors
Some of the doctors who sit in the hall are from Taiyuan Hospital, and you might even know them."
Brother Monkey became a little impatient and said: "My ancestor Gongyu has passed away due to illness. He resigned from the Taiyuan Hospital more than ten years ago and returned to his hometown. I'm afraid I don't know him."
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper looked surprised.
Although he is not a doctor, but just a shopkeeper, he is in a medical clinic and knows a lot about Xinglin. He is from Taiyuan Hospital and has such a special compound surname as Gongyu, but he is the only one.
The Gongyu clan is also very famous in Xinglin.
It's a pity that the generation of Gongyuyuanzheng is very thin. After the old lady doctor resigned from the position of dean of Taiyuan Hospital, I haven't heard from him for many years.
Unexpectedly, I would meet the descendants of the Gongyu family today.
What people say about medical books cannot be false.
Although I was a little sad to hear that Dr. Gongyu passed away, it was a great surprise to get Gongyu's medical classics.
If what this young man said is true, and his sister's medical skills have been passed down by Dr. Gongyu, Xinglin will have another great talent.
The shopkeeper said regretfully: "I didn't expect that Gongyu, Imperial Physician, would be an ancient doctor. Since my sister has obtained his true biography, I must have good medical skills. If it is Gongyu's medical book handed down from ancient times, we will definitely accept it, and the price will not be high."
You suffer a loss."
Qi Xun actually just asked casually, but ended up pulling out so many things. The shopkeeper really took it to heart. She imitated her monkey brother and scratched her head, and had to say: "It's not originally, it was originally left by my grandfather to pass down the family."
, it’s not easy to sell. What we sell are handwritten copies. If you really want it, you can decide the price after reading the content.”
The shopkeeper felt that he had picked something up and missed it, so he became very happy.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the original or a handwritten copy. What’s important is the content of the medical book: “Sure, you must bring the medical book next time you come. As agreed, since you have agreed to sell it to our house, don’t go to other houses to ask for it yet.
, after seeing the book and making a bid, if you think the price is not suitable, how about asking others?"
"It's done."
After talking about the medical books, she asked the shopkeeper about the blacksmith shop and which shop had the best craftsmanship. He was a local leader in the county, so of course he knew more about the shops in the county than they did.
The shopkeeper introduced the two families and told them their locations: "Both of these two are in the Nanxi District. The other is on Zhengde Street near Zhaojiaqiao near the South West Gate. You can find out by asking about the Zhaojia Iron Shop. There are more than a hundred
This is an old blacksmith shop. My ancestors were engaged in blacksmithing. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the business is kind and reliable. The other shop is near the Yamen. Although it is in Nanxi District, it is close to South Street. Go and ask about Zhujiaxiang.
Everyone knows about the Zhu family iron shop. Whatever you want to do, these two companies can do it."
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and spoke in detail. Qi Xun thanked him and then said goodbye to the shopkeeper.
The three of them left the hospital and saw that it was getting late. Qixun judged that it was probably around nine o'clock or almost ten o'clock. It was too late to go to the blacksmith's shop, so they planned to go to Uncle Wu's house first and then go to the blacksmith in the afternoon.
Shop and customize the parts needed for spinning and weaving wheels.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Uncle Wu's house in time at noon. As for the wine and pig intestines and pork I want to buy, I can only buy them when I go back in the afternoon.
It's not good to come in the afternoon as a guest, it would be too rude.
They headed to Nandong District. The shopkeeper waited for them to leave, told the waiter to greet the customers well, and then hurriedly went to the clinic.
Seeing an old man who was reading medical books because there were no patients, he stepped forward and said, "Old sir, do you know who I just met?"
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at him. While continuing to read, he said, "Who?"
