The first thousand ninety-seventh chapters try needle
Man Bao arrived at Xiao's house a little early. It was the time for everyone to have dinner, and most guests would not come at this time.
Daji went to knock on the side door of Xiao's house. After giving his name, people came out and moved the threshold to let them drive in. He said with a smile: "When the master came home, he told the young ones, distinguished guests, please come in."
Daji drove the carriage in, stretched out his hand to help Man Bao down, and then handed the carriage to them.
There were servants to show them the way.
Xiao Yuanzheng had just returned home not long ago. He had just changed out of his official uniform and washed his hands. He didn't even have time to eat. When he heard that Man Bao had arrived, he turned around and went to the front yard and ordered: "Invite people to the study in the front yard.
"
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly chased him out and asked, "Master, don't you want to eat?"
"Just fill your stomach with some snacks."
"If the master doesn't want to eat, the guests also need to eat." Mrs. Xiao only knew that a guest was coming, but she didn't know who the guest was or what he was here for. But seeing that her husband valued it so much, she paid more attention to it, "The guest is here."
I'm coming over in a moment, I'm afraid I haven't eaten yet, why don't you talk to me while you eat."
Mr. Xiao said: "I'll ask her."
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly followed him to the front yard.
Man Bao was standing in the yard looking at the herbs in his medicine garden, and had not entered the study.
Hearing the noise, Man Bao turned around and saw Xiao Yuanzheng and saluted with a smile. When he straightened up and saw the woman following him, he smiled and asked, "Is this Mrs. Xiao?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at Man Bao in shock, obviously not expecting that her husband's guest was a little girl.
Xiao Yuanzheng had already nodded and introduced the two of them: "This is my wife, madam, and this is Dr. Zhou."
Mrs. Xiao was busy greeting Man Bao.
Xiao Yuan was asking Man Bao: "Has Dr. Zhou had dinner?"
"have eaten."
Xiao Yuanzheng turned to his wife and said, "Then just make me a bowl of noodles from the kitchen. Dr. Zhou and I will talk while eating."
He turned sideways and invited Manbao to come in.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked the servants around her to go to the kitchen, and followed them to the study.
Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng were talking, "Xiao Yuanzheng, your house is full of medicine gardens?"
"No, there are just some medicinal herbs grown in this yard."
Man Bao said: "I just saw several medicinal herbs, but I have only seen prepared ones, never raw ones."
"Why, Dr. Zhou is also interested in medicinal herbs?"
"Of course, treatment depends on the quality of the medicinal materials. Not only are the processing requirements strict, but the planting is also very important."
"Exactly," Xiao Yuanzheng strongly agreed. "Unfortunately, nowadays medicinal materials are basically collected from the wild. There are very few medicinal materials that are actually grown, and doctors rarely pay attention to this aspect. It is not enough to rely on multiple drug stores and multiple drug dealers."
Xiao Yuan was asking Man Bao to sit down in the study, then turned around to look for something on the bookshelf nearby. Mrs. Xiao smiled and made tea for them and listened to what they were saying.
Xiao Yuan was finding a book from the bookshelf, turned to one of the pages and showed it to Man Bao, "Mr. Zheng and the others have just returned. I'm afraid it will take a while before they come over. Dr. Zhou can take a look at this first."
Man Bao took the book and read it, smiling: "I have read this article."
She turned to the cover and looked at the title of the book, then flipped through the other pages and said with a smile: "So this article is included in so many books?"
Xiao Yuanzheng became curious and asked: "Have you seen it in that book?"
"We, Dr. Ji, have a book called "Medical Policy Collection", which contains this article."
"'Medical Policy Collection'," Xiao Yuanzheng said with a smile, "I've heard of it. It seems to be the Zheng family's medical book. Are there many cases recorded there?"
"Not bad," Man Bao nodded. She exchanged one of her own books with Doctor Ji to read the book. Of course, they must have copied each other's books. Now Man Bao has one in his hand.
This handwritten version of "Medical Policy Collection".
Man Bao had memorized the article, so there was no need to read it again. She glanced at the book in her hand, thought about it, and put it together and returned it to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Forget it, they are not very familiar with it at the moment, so it is better not to read other cases randomly.
She knew that the attitude of people here towards medical books was different from the attitude towards medical books at Teacher Mo's place.
At Teacher Mo's place, as long as you have points, most books can be purchased and can be shared.
But here, there are very few medical books for sale in bookstores. Even if they are available, they are mostly common medical books.
However, each drug store has a large collection of medical books, most of which are handwritten copies. Not only that, they also record many cases and prescriptions, which are specially used to teach their own children and direct disciples.
Like Doctor Ji, his father was a doctor in Jishi Hall, so he also studied in Jishi Hall since he was a child and never left Jishi Hall in his life, and Doctor Ji even more so.
Generally speaking, when a doctor like Man Bao, who has not signed a contract, sits in Jishitang, Jishitang will not teach her specifically, but she can't bear it because she has many medical books in her hands.
Ji Shitang wanted to learn the medical skills she had, and she also wanted to learn the medical skills Ji Shitang had, so they exchanged ideas with each other.
But Manbao was once taken by Dr. Ji to participate in exchanges at several drug stores. Of course, the exchange was not about medical skills, but about some knowledge about medicinal materials and identification of medicinal materials.
She listened to their exchanges and knew that they had a set of rules for the inheritance of medical skills. If you read other people's medical books without permission, you would be suspected of stealing from them.
Xiao Yuanzheng took the medical book, and since Man Bao had read it, he continued to talk about it.
Mrs. Xiao on the side watched them, an old man and a young man, talking animatedly. She could understand a little at first, but then she couldn't understand it at all.
But that doesn't matter. The most important thing is that while we were talking, Xiao Yuanzheng turned around and called the chief, "Go and call the uncle."
After giving the instructions, he said to Man Bao: "My eldest son is very strong. You can try it on him soon."
Man Bao nodded, took the medicine box from Daji, opened it, took out the needle bag and put it aside, looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and then smiled and said: "Actually, my sleeping acupuncture skills are also good, Xiao Yuanzheng, do you want my help?"
Would you like to prick it?"
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll just mix the sleeping incense myself."
Man Bao then talked to him about sleeping incense, "The sleeping incense I mixed always has a medicinal scent that cannot be removed, but I read in the book that sleeping incense can also be divided into many types of fragrances. Xiao Yuanzheng
What does the fragrance smell like?"
"It smells like peach blossom," Xiao Yuanzheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Other smells don't suit me. I can't sleep if I smell it."
Mrs. Xiao tried to interrupt several times but was unable to do so. Then, before she could open her mouth, her son arrived.
When he heard that his father wanted to try the needle, Xiao Dalang didn't think much and immediately took off his clothes. Then he took the belt and saw Man Bao still standing by, so he looked at her.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Take it off, it's just for her to try. This is Dr. Zhou, a little miracle doctor who has been widely rumored in the capital recently."
