Everyone responded and helped each other move forward.
After descending a slope, the ground became relatively flat, and everyone relaxed a little.
Mr. Wei came up from behind and asked Bai Jingxing with a smile, "I just heard that Miss Wang and Mrs. Wang said their surname was Bai?"
Bai Jingxing was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."
Mr. Wei nodded slightly and asked, "Is it the Bai family of Longzhou?"
Bai Jingxing paused and nodded. Yang Zezhi on the side smiled and asked, "I don't know what your surname is, sir, and my accent doesn't sound like he's from Qianzhou."
Mr. Wei then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "For your surname is Wei, I am indeed not from Qianzhou, I am from Lingnan. However, I have been in Qianzhou for five or six years. I usually live in seclusion in the mountains and know very little about the outside world. I heard a few
The accents of these little friends are all from Beijing?"
Yang Zezhi nodded, "Yes, we are here for a study tour. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Study tour," Mr. Wei said sadly, then stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yes, you are young, but you are already knowledgeable and have a youthful spirit. This is the blessing of our country."
His eyes still mainly fell on Bai Jingxing, and he asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Bai, the prime minister of the court, and Mr. Zhou, the minister of the Imperial Medical Office, belong to the young lady?"
Bai Jingxing couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Yang Zezhi. When he saw him nodding slightly, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, the Bai family in Longzhou is quite big. Why are you so sure that I am related to Prime Minister Bai?"
Mr. Wei laughed heartily and said: "My lady, there is only one Bai family in Longzhou, and Prime Minister Bai comes from the Bai family. Even if you are from a side branch, it still matters, but from what the little lady said, it is obviously not a side branch."
Only then did Bai Jingxing remember that she rarely went back to Longzhou, and she didn't have a sense of reality... She nodded generously and said, "Yes, those are my parents."
Mr. Wei's eyes fell on Yang Zezhi's hand supporting Bai Jingxing, and he said, "No wonder..."
He smiled slightly and said, "I heard in the early years that Prime Minister Yang and Prime Minister Bai had a good personal relationship, and it was true when I saw them today."
Even my daughter dares to be taken out on a study tour with confidence. Is it possible that the friendship will be bad?
Yang Zezhi was slightly surprised, "Mr. Wei knows about me?"
Mr. Wei pointed to the middle-aged man walking behind and said, "He knows you."
The middle-aged man followed up with his niece with difficulty. Hearing this, he stood still and saluted Yang Zezhi, and said with a smile: "I am Wang Shanheng of Wanzhou. I once had the honor to pay a visit to Prime Minister Yang. Mr. Yang and Prime Minister Yang are very similar."
Yang Zezhi waited for Bai Jingxing to stand firm before taking back his hand. After returning the salute, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wei was most interested in Bai Jingxing and continued to talk to her, "I think the young lady also knows medical skills and acupuncture. Did she learn from your father's hall?"
Bai Jingxing nodded, "Yes."
"Sure enough, a tiger mother doesn't have a dog daughter."
Bai Jingxing:......
She was most familiar with this kind of compliment and asked: "Mr. Wei, do you want to see my mother for medical treatment?"
Mr. Wei immediately said: "I have something to ask Mr. Zhou."
Bai Jingxing knew that her mother liked to collect difficult diseases, and she was also curious, so she asked, "I wonder what it is?"
Mr. Wei: "My dear lady, do you know that there is miasma in Lingnan? People from the north often get sick when they come to Lingnan, and local people also often get typhoid fever, which is difficult to treat."
He looked at Bai Jingxing expectantly, "I have lived in the mountains for a long time. I just heard a few days ago that Mr. Zhou went to inspect the medical offices in Taihu Lake a few years ago and diagnosed that the curse that had troubled them for thousands of years in that area was caused by schistosomiasis in the body. I don't know.
, is the miasma in Lingnan also caused by some insects?"
He said: "There are more insects in Lingnan than in Taihu Lake."
Bai Jingxing: "...I can only write to ask my mother about this, but my mother has never been to Lingnan, so I'm afraid it's hard to make a conclusion."
She looked him up and down and asked hesitantly: "Does Mr. Wei have any existing patients? I wonder if he can go to the capital. If he can go to the capital and let my mother take a look, maybe he can be cured."
She definitely couldn't do it anyway. She had also heard of the miasma in Lingnan, but wasn't it poisonous gas? Why is it still related to insects?
Mr. Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I can send the patient to the capital, Master Zhou will be willing to treat him?"
Bai Jingxing rolled his eyes and said, "My mother likes flowers, plants, and insects, fish, birds, and beasts that she has never seen before. She has long heard that Lingnan is rich in products. There are many things that are not found in the Central Plains and the North. If Mr.
My mother is happy to be able to take some with her, even if it’s just common weeds and flowers on the road, as long as they are new to my mother.”
"One thing only comes once," Bai Jingxing said, "If it doesn't exist, I'll write to my mother to ask for it."
Mr. Wei: "Actually, I have always had a doubt. Lord Guan Zhou's behavior can be said to be a gentleman's behavior. Since he is a gentleman, why does he have such a habit?"
Bai Jingxing couldn't bear to hear other people say something bad about his mother, "My mother didn't collect these for selfish reasons, she did it for medicine."
Bai Jingxing said: "She said that everything in the world can be used as medicine, especially living things, flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and even things on humans can be used as medicine."
"for example?"
"Human nails and hair, these can be used as medicinal materials."
Everyone froze and stopped.
Bai Jingxing noticed that Yang Zezhi's hand holding her stiffened, and said, "What's so strange about this? It's been recorded in medical books."
Mr. Wei had come to his senses, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I see, I have misunderstood Mr. Zhou."
He was very curious about Bai Jingxing, or rather about her mother Zhou Man, so he talked to her along the way, "Mr. Zhou was already a world-renowned little miracle doctor when I was the little lady's age. I wonder what my little lady's medical skills are now."
, have you ever thought about going to Lingnan to study?”
Bai Jingxing, "You want me to go to Lingnan to see miasma patients?"
Mr. Wei smiled gently, "My dear, don't you think about it? If you go further, you will gain more experience."
Bai Jingxing turned back and looked at Yang Zezhi.
Yang Zezhi smiled and said: "Our time for study tour is limited, and we will definitely return to the capital next year, but now Qianzhou has just started. The mountains and roads here are dangerous and the speed will be very slow."
He said: "We must not forget our original intention and put the cart before the horse."
Bai Jingxing said to Mr. Wei with a look of regret: "It won't work this time, you should send the patient to the capital, and my medical skills... can only be compared with the sixth-level and seventh-level students in the Imperial Medical Office.
The miasma sounds very powerful, and like the so-called curse of Taihu Lake, it has plagued Lingnan for thousands of years. Except for my mother, I am afraid no one can solve it today."
She paused and then said: "But I advise Mr. Wei not to have too much hope. Anger is difficult to control. If it is not the insect disease you guessed, then my mother may not be able to do anything."
Mr. Wei nodded and said with a smile: "I am not in a hurry about this matter. This problem has troubled Lingnan for thousands of years. You have been waiting for thousands of years. Are you still afraid of waiting a few more years? I can go with you and go to Beijing to see you.
