Chapter 26 I just remembered that the medicine is still at the old Cheng's house)
"Poor Erlang, he was fine when he went out, but after a trip to Cheng's Mansion, he looked like this..." Mrs. Lu felt distressed and wiped the face of Fang Jun, who was lying on the couch, groaning and smelling of alcohol.
.
Fang Xuanling walked into the room from outside with a dark face. When he saw Fang Jun unconscious, he opened his mouth for a long time and finally sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong, husband?" After carefully wiping Fang Jun's face, Lu finally had time to look back at Fang Xuanling.
"It's okay, it's okay. What can I do?" Fang Xuanling coughed and sat down. "Madam, it's getting late, let's go back to the house."
"Husband, you must be hiding something from me." Mrs. Lu said unhappily.
"Well, our second son, in the Cheng Mansion today, he was not just drunk. He was also given several bowls of wolf-heart and dog-lung."
"What?!" Mrs. Lu stood up immediately, her eyebrows raised.
"What does he mean by Cheng Yaojin? Our Fang family has not offended him, but he is so arrogant. What is he trying to do?"
"Madam, don't be upset, this wolf heart was sent by our son and His Highness the King of Shu.
Sigh...this is also a joke made by the three ignorant little kids from the Cheng family who love their brother so much."
After listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation of the cause and effect from Fang Cheng's mouth, Lu's face turned dark. She wanted to speak several times, but in the end she could only shut up angrily.
"Husband, my heart and mouth are so blocked."
"Why can't you help me? That old guy Cheng Yaojin clearly wants to let the King of Shu and Erlang defend his old Cheng family. Alas...there are so many rumors."
Fang Xuanling sighed with helplessness on his face. That old man, Old Cheng, just wanted to use the King of Shu and his Erlang to share the pressure of his old Cheng family. He typically wanted to make everyone laugh and be laughed at.
"In the past, I would have asked that old man for an explanation even if I didn't care about my face. But now..."
Lu is also very stubborn at heart, but the problem is that the old Cheng family is considered the savior of herself and Saburo, just for this little thing...
But I felt unwilling to do so, and finally couldn't help but rant in front of my husband.
"I really don't know why the Cui family sister fell in love with this shameless old man."
"..."
#####
The Duke of Lu's mansion reopened the family banquet. His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the second son of Fang Xiang's family were taken alive into the mansion and participated in a lively and noisy banquet of wolf heart and dog lung.
Once again, the common people in Chang'an City who are full and have nothing to do have some interesting news.
"I heard that the wolf heart was a big green wolf that His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Mr. Fang beat up a few days ago and personally sent to the Cheng Mansion."
"No wonder they have to eat it. After all, it's the ingredients they sent over. They have to taste it, right?"
"But the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog...can it really taste good if stewed together?"
"I was at the door of Cheng's house that day. When His Highness the King of Shu was thrown into the carriage, he kept shouting for another bowl. What does this mean? It means it tastes good..."
"That's right. Having said that, the phrase "wolf-hearted and dog-feeling" may have been given a derogatory meaning by scholars. Maybe in the past, it referred to a delicacy."
"Anyway, I, Lao Liu, have never eaten wolf heart, but I have eaten dog lung. As long as you know how to make it and cook it carefully, the taste will be no worse than the liver glutinous rice cooked by the chef of Baiweilou..."
In a twist, the topic has gone from the Cheng family eating wolf heart and dog lung together with the King of Shu and the Second Young Master Fang, to demonstrating the original praise and blame meaning of "wolf heart and dog lung", to starting to debate the cooking techniques and taste of the ingredients.
This is the daily gossip of the people in Chang'an City, the powerful imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. It is boring and boring, but it also reveals a boring mood that makes your balls hurt...

"Your Majesty, the injured who were injured by rabid dogs at the same time as the Prime Minister's wife and children passed away at noon today.
The other two injured are also dying, and they may not have much time left..."
Sun Simiao sat opposite the emperor, his expression looking a little sad.
Just this morning, the family members of the injured came to ask for help. Although Sun Simiao knew that once rabies attacks, there is no cure, he still rushed there himself.
"Zheng Zheng just learned about this news before." Li Shimin was also helpless. "I heard that the Taoist priest treated all three injured people. Isn't it possible?"
Sun Simiao nodded. "Before, Cheng Chubi told Pindao that if the injured person has been treated with ancient methods, even if he uses his medicine to treat the injured, it will not be effective."
"Pindao didn't believe it at the time. Later, when the first injured person became ill and the other two injured were not ill, they all came to Pindao for medical advice.
Pindao went to Cheng Mansion and brought medicines to diagnose and treat Fang Xiang's wife and children, but they still fell ill after all."
Li Shimin shook his head in disbelief. "It seems that although the third son of the Cheng family has not recovered from his head disease, he is really capable of this medical skill."
"Yes, but he just doesn't know when he will start talking nonsense, which makes people confused.
Otherwise, Pindao really wants to find some time to discuss medicine with him."
The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came, interrupting the two of them. Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
Then he saw Fang Xuanling walking quickly towards this side with a gloomy face, lifting his front, and exchanging something with Yuan Tiangang who was walking beside him.
"Fang Qing, Yuan Qingping, what happened?" Li Shimin had already stood up and faced outside the house.
"Your Majesty, I have just received urgent reports from Jingyang and Yunyang counties.
There have been many incidents of mad dogs injuring people in both counties, and the number of injured people was large, with more than 20 people injured in Jingyang County alone."
"What?!" Li Shimin's expression changed, and he couldn't help but change his expression.
"What do the officials of Jingyang County and Yunyang County do? I have not already ordered everyone to be on strict guard, and we must be alert to the spring mad dogs that can hurt people."
"More than 20 people were injured in just one county. How can this be unreasonable?"
Sun Simiao quickly fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think the most important thing now is the safety of the injured. I am worried that if they continue to treat the injured according to ancient methods..."
Fang Xuanling also took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, I think what Master Sun said is right. The most important thing now is to send people to Yunyang and Jingyang, and order them not to use medicine indiscriminately."
Li Shimin's expression also changed. Yes, if the ancient method is used again at this moment, one or two people out of ten will survive. Of the more than twenty injured, only two or three will survive.
Doesn't it mean that a mere Yunyang County has to pay nearly 20 more lives in just one spring, and these 20 lives can obviously be saved now.
"Zhao Kun! You personally rush over to Yun to convey my decree and tell Jingyang, Yunyang's doctor.
Let them stop using ancient prescriptions and not treat the injured indiscriminately. The court will soon deliver good medicine."
"I accept the order." Zhao Kun, who had been standing by Li Shimin's side, with a strong and thick beard on his face, solemnly agreed and immediately ran quickly towards the door.
"That medicine..." Li Shimin just opened his mouth, and then he remembered that the medicine was still at the old Cheng's house, the old Cheng's house where he had not wanted to pay attention to it recently, and had poured several bowls of it into Ke'er's unlucky son.
