Sun Simiao is a famous doctor in the world, and he is now over 70 years old. But some people say that he is more than 70 years old, and may even be a hundred years old. However, there is no way to verify this matter. When someone asked him, he only said
He said that he was born during the Datong period of the Western Wei Dynasty. Based on this, his age is between seventy and eighty. Therefore, it is generally accepted by the world that he is over seventy years old.
People over seventy have been rare since ancient times.
With just this sentence, you can know how difficult it was to live to seventy years old in ancient times. In the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, people who were over thirty-five could call themselves "old men" and lived over fifty.
It can be called longevity, and people who live past seventy are rare and are regarded as auspicious by the world.
Just because he lived to be seventy years old, the common people already respected him as a god. It's a very simple reason. In an era where catching a cold can kill you, how could it be possible without superb medical skills and good health preservation?
Live to be seventy?
But in fact, the world doesn't know that Sun Simiao's medical skills are not due to his talent, but to his ability to become a doctor after a long period of illness. He was frail and sick in his early years, and his parents almost lost their family wealth in order to save his life. He also deeply understood the pain of a person getting sick, so
, When he was very young, Sun Simiao determined to pursue a career in medicine.
Sun Simiao was a good reader. When he was seven years old, he could recite thousands of words of articles every day. Dugu Xin, the minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, valued him very much and called him a "holy boy". Dugu Xin was the ancestor of Dugu Xiude.
The daughter was Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
Sun Simiao had a close relationship with the Dugu family.
For many years, Sun Simiao has been traveling around to practice medicine. During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain and wrote the medical books "Qianjin Essential Prescriptions" and "Qianjin Yifang". In this era of self-respect, Sun Simiao is a rare enlightened person.
, his medical books are worth thousands of gold, but he is never stingy. As long as he sincerely studies medicine and has the chance to meet him, he will take out the medical books for others to copy, and he will not ask for the title of master or apprentice.
He wanted his medical skills to spread to the world and save more patients.
However, this method of copying is still very slow and cannot achieve the effect he wants. Therefore, he has been looking for faster methods to spread his medical books and benefit more people.
When he came to Chang'an this time, Sun Simiao received a letter from Dugu Xiude. Dugu Xiude invited him here because of Li Shimin's request. Ever since Empress Changsun gave birth to Li Chengqian, she has suffered from a strange brain disease. Every year after winter
, he would have attacks from time to time, and when severe, he would have a splitting headache and be restless all night. He came to see Sun Simiao just to diagnose and treat this disease.
In fact, this is not the first time that Li Shimin has issued an order to summon Sun Simiao. But he has been writing books in Taibai Mountain before, and no one knows his whereabouts. Even the Dugu family has lost contact with him and cannot be contacted. According to folklore, he has already disappeared.
He died. We were able to find him this time only because a person copied his medical books and presented them to the Imperial Hospital. Only then did we know that Sun Simiao was still alive, and he had just been writing books and living in seclusion these years.
Li Shimin knew about the friendship between the Dugu family and Sun Simiao, so he issued an order and asked Dugu Xiude to write a letter, begging Sun Simiao to come to Chang'an. At the same time, through the person who donated the book, Li Shimin learned that Sun Simiao wanted to spread the medical book to the world.
This idea made Dugu Xiude write in his letter about Li Mu's invention of printing. Even if Sun Simiao was an outsider and looked down on imperial power and wealth, he would still come to Chang'an in order to spread his medical books.
Sure enough, Sun Simiao came. He received the letter and imperial edict in Luoyang, and came to Chang'an from Luoyang. This journey took almost half a month.
There was no way, everyone knew Sun Simiao's name, so he walked to a place. As soon as he settled down, local gentry came to ask for medicine. Sun Simiao was a kind-hearted doctor, and he never could bear to refuse when he faced these people asking for medicine. When he arrived at a place,
It will be delayed for a day or two. It is delayed by half of the expected time.
Sun Simiao arrived in the afternoon the day before yesterday. As soon as he arrived, he was invited into the palace to diagnose and treat Empress Changsun. He had just prepared medicine and sent it to the palace yesterday, but he was blocked by nobles from all walks of life. He rented a house near the West Market
house, so when Li Zhien was shopping for it, he heard that Sun Simiao was here.
This is because Li Mu paid a lot of attention and attracted a lot of attention. Otherwise, there would be even more people coming to see him for medical treatment. But even so, the area around the house he rented was crowded with horse-drawn carriages. Most of them were nobles.
Between his own life and dozens of dollars, Xungui must value his own life more. Sun Simiao never saw the end. If he missed it this time, he might never encounter it in this life. After all, not everyone can be like him.
They also live to be seventy years old.
When Li Zhien found the place, he faced such an embarrassing situation. There were too many people and the alley was blocked. If he lined up according to this line, he would probably not get his turn in three days.
When Li Zhien was anxious and helpless, Dugujiu stepped on the car's shaft and jumped onto the wall. Today, Li Mu was at home, and Dugujiu didn't have to follow him to protect him. Hearing that a doctor was going to be hired for Li Mu, Dugujiu came with him.
Before Li Zhien could ask, Dugujiu had already jumped off the wall. After a while, he jumped back again.
"What have you been doing?"
"Please, doctor." Dugu Jiu said coolly, without explaining much, and motioned to the groom to turn the car around and go to the other side of the house.
The two houses are connected on the ridge, and the other end is also a house, with a door in the middle. Going around to the other end, it happens to be the side entrance of the empty house next to the house Sun Simiao rented, and it is quiet and uninhabited.
The carriage waited for a while, and then the door opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the door. Next to him was a young man about twenty years old, carrying a medicine box in his hand, who seemed to be his apprentice.
Although Li Zhien had never seen Sun Simiao, he guessed who he was when he saw his appearance. He quickly got out of the car and saluted respectfully: "I have seen a miracle doctor."
Sun Simiao was lean, but his eyes were strong, and he could tell that he was in good spirits. He stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I already know why you are here. Seeing a doctor is important, let's go now."
"Please ask the miracle doctor to get in the car."
When Li Zhien came, two carriages had been prepared. Although Sun Simiao was seventy, he got into the carriage by himself without help. His apprentice also followed. Li Zhien glanced at Dugujiu doubtfully, but
Knowing that this was not the time to inquire carefully, he also got into the car, and the two carriages turned around and headed straight for Zhuluhou Mansion.
Li Mu stayed up all night and slept until the afternoon. Anyone who has stayed up all night knows that sleeping during the day does not relieve fatigue and makes you tired no matter how much you sleep. Li Mu felt the same way. He opened his eyes but did not want to get up. Suddenly he felt like there was someone next to him.
A person, sitting up in a hurry, punching and trying to hit...
The fist stopped an inch away from Sun Simiao. He looked at Sun Simiao, who looked at him with a smile. The two stared at each other for a long time. Sun Simiao smiled and said: "Zhuluhou is awake?"
"Old man, who are you? How... how did you get into my dormitory?" Li Mu felt incredible. Where were the guards in this mansion? An old man with a white beard sneaked in!
Li Mu pulled his neck and shouted: "Is anyone still breathing? What's going on!"
Li Zhien heard the sound in the outer room and ran in quickly, saying: "Master, don't panic, this is Dr. Sun, who has been invited to treat you!"
"Sickness?" Li Mu was confused and said: "Where did I get the disease? Who invited me... Wait, who do you think he is? Sun, Sun Miracle Doctor... Sun Simiao?!"
"Husband, please don't be so rude." Bai Qiaoqiao came from the outer room carrying a bowl of steaming 'Cola-colored' decoction, brought it to Li Mu's lips, and said: "Sun's great doctor is highly virtuous and highly respected, and he's already over seventy years old. What's wrong with you?"
How can you be so healthy? Come on, drink this bowl of medicine, and your illness will be cured."
Li Mu was still in a state of confusion. He watched Bai Qiaoqiao bring the soup and medicine. Somehow, he remembered a scene from "Water Margin" he watched during the summer vacation when he was eight years old. Pan Jinlian brought poison to Wu Dalang, and what he said seemed to be
If it's about the same. Dalang, drink this bowl of soup quickly. Your illness will be cured after you drink it.
After drinking it, he felt cold!
No! Li Mu subconsciously reacted the same way as Wu Dalang, shouting: "I won't drink, I want to see my brother Wu... the big guy! Xiaojiu, where did he die! What's going on!"
Li Chongyi came in from outside, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "Boss, drink it. My sister-in-law has been up for a long time."
Dugujiu, who was behind Li Chongyi, also said: "Brother, drink quickly."
"Why the hell did I drink it!" Li Mu was so angry that he cursed, looked at Qiaoqiao with tears in his eyes, grabbed her hand, and said: "Madam, why is this? Why do you want to poison my husband to death?"
ah!"
"Ah?" Bai Qiaoqiao was stunned and frowned: "Husband, why do you miss me so much? This is the medicine prescribed by the miracle doctor. I went to get the medicine myself and came back and stayed up for two hours to treat you.
Ah, how could I poison you to death? You are my husband!"
As she said that, she put down the bowl, raised her hand and waved it in front of Li Mu's eyes, saying, "Husband, are you dreaming again? Are you still awake?"
"I..." Li Mu glanced at the soup in the bowl and cried: "Madam, don't lie to me. This is not medicine. Look at the color of it. It's black...are you?
You have a sweetheart and you want to poison your husband to death..."
Sun Simiao laughed out loud. Li Mu heard the sound and glared at him, saying: "You are such a bad old man. I used to respect you. It turns out that being famous is not as good as meeting you. You are this kind of person!"
"Oh? Zhuluhou has also heard of me?"
"I...have heard of it!" Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. Of course he had heard of the name Sun Simiao, but he didn't know whether Sun Simiao's reputation in the world was great. If his reputation was already
It's very big, so it doesn't matter if he's heard of it, but if he's not famous, it'd be weird if he's heard of it. His mind changed quickly, and Li Mu still said he'd heard of it. He thought to himself, since Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien both know
He is a miracle doctor, so he should be famous, so it shouldn't hurt to have heard of him!
