The eunuch was about to turn around and leave, but shopkeeper Wu said to Qi Zhou: "Little brother, the weight of this piece is one tael and one cent and four cents. The actual price in our store is two hundred and twenty taels."
"What?" A strange scream startled everyone in the store. He Qizhou screamed: "Three big ones don't cost a hundred taels, but this one costs more than two hundred taels?"
Shopkeeper Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother, I'm really not bullying you. The 8-yuan ginseng costs 150 taels. Any ginseng that costs more than 5 yen is very expensive. You know some things..."
The last few words were like a whisper, and only He Qizhou could hear them clearly.
He Qizhou thought, forget it, let's go back and try to find a solution from Liu Junzhi and Jiang Shuo. It seems that the medicine sold to Lao Jiang is really not expensive. Huangquan's wound medicine uses more than two taels of ginseng.
. Then he said to shopkeeper Wu: "Sorry, I didn't bring enough money. I don't want the wild ginseng medicine now. Can you please keep the ginseng for me first, and I will come back to buy it in two days?"
"This..." Shopkeeper Wu looked confused.
"Ahem, cough, I want this ginseng too. Didn't I still need some money just now? Boss, do you think this is okay? I'll give you another twenty taels, so there's no need to look for the ones in front of me." Eunuch Tian came out from the door again.
Walked back.
"Okay, come on, please pack it up for father-in-law." The big shopkeeper still smiled brightly.
Eunuch Tian put the simple package of one or two ginseng into Qi Zhou's hand and said sadly: "Maybe I am the old and frail person you mentioned. This can be regarded as fate, so just accept it.
"
He Qizhou was unwilling to accept it and wanted to hand over the remaining thirty taels to the other party, but the old man refused to accept it and said: "Boy, you are a martial arts student. If you show off, wouldn't I still accept Shangqing Wan from you?"
?”
He Qizhou no longer pressed, bowed to Eunuch Tian and said goodbye to the eunuch who was walking away, "Eunuch, try that medicine, you will be fine."
The old eunuch raised his hand to say goodbye, and He Qizhou thought to himself that Huang Quan was right, not many eunuchs lived a long life, that man was only over fifty years old, and he was already showing his age, but it didn't seem that all eunuchs were as old as Huang Quan thought.
Unbearable.
He Qizhou returned to the store, packed up the medicines and medical utensils, packed an oversized baggage, and said goodbye to shopkeeper Wu. The shopkeeper warned behind him lukewarmly: "Boy, you got a big deal, don't mess around when you go out."
Say it."
He Qizhou nodded quickly and said yes, fearing that the pharmacy would regret it and left in a hurry.
Seeing Qi Zhou walking away, the big shopkeeper shook his head at shopkeeper Wu and said, "You are the only one who is soft-hearted! We can also get involved in the affairs of the palace? We will give them whatever they want. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with us. Why should we?"
Are you still better than the imperial doctor? It’s our turn to come up with ideas. Remember, we only sell medicines, not cure diseases!”
After leaving the imperial city, He Qizhou bought some glutinous rice, cornstarch and other pill bases in the outer city. When he returned to the woodshed, Liu Junzhi had already made a medicinal bath and was waiting for him.
He Qizhou checked today's firewood and found that it was a bit unsatisfactory. There was a lot of wet wood and the splitting was not even enough, so he complained a lot. Liu Junzhi spread his blistered hands and wanted to cry but had no tears.
He Qizhou gave him the wound medicine and comforted him: "Don't worry, my wound medicine works very well. You will be fine tomorrow morning."
Liu Junzhi asked: "What about tomorrow night? Will my hand be fine?"
"You have tender skin and tender flesh. Of course you will still look like this at night."
"Can I have twice as much money and send someone to do this business?"
"cannot!"
"When will it stop blistering?"
"I can't say for sure. It will take ten days and a half. By then you will notice that a thin layer of calluses has formed, and then there will generally be no blood blisters."
"Ten more days?"
"Well, let's just say ten days at least. I will increase the workload appropriately after the cocoon is recovered. Do you think that if I cut one car and deliver one car every day, when will my firewood sheds be full?"
"If you ask me to chop wood, doesn't that count as practicing martial arts?"
"How is your appetite these days compared to before?"
"It's much better, um, twice as much."
"sleeping?"
"I don't dream much, I sleep until dawn."
"Why are you so long-winded? Just keep cutting. Well, the layer of cocoon will fall off about once every two days, which is a little more painful than the blood blisters. It will stop falling off after three or four times."
"Can I chop it with something else?"
"What to cut?"
"Cut you!"
"I'm a little tired today. You can come back tomorrow. I'm going to make a medicine pack. How about you help me grind the medicine?"
"I'm tired too, see you later."
In the next three days, Qi Zhou went to class in the morning; in the afternoon, he boiled the medicinal materials and made pills and dried them in the shade. One wild ginseng could make many Shenling pills. It shouldn't be a problem to cure his and Jiang Shuo's injuries. Liu Jun gave some advice in the evening
After that, it’s time to take medicinal baths, practice exercises, and sleep. The busiest thing is the stove, which boils water in the morning and evening and boils medicine in the afternoon, all day long.
At noon on the fourth day, He Qizhou was boiling medicine and doing the thirty-two postures of Sanqing Palm when he heard a scream in the distance, "It's him!"
Looking back, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. I saw Wang Jun leading several professors, following behind a eunuch in blue shirt, walking menacingly.
Did the medicine he gave kill the person? Or did someone die because of his fault? It was the school uniform that caused the trouble again! Next time he goes out to be beaten to death, he has to change his clothes!
The old eunuch ran straight towards Qi Zhou, grabbed Qi Zhou's hand excitedly, and shouted: "Little brother, I finally found you!"
It turned out that the medicine the old eunuch gave Qizhou didn't give much hope that day. After returning home, he asked a friend from the Taiyuan Hospital to take a look. The other party told him that the raw materials of the medicine were excellent and the efficacy could not be determined, so he decided to try it himself. Sure enough,
I felt a little better the next day. After taking another pill in the morning and evening, I didn’t cough much anymore;
I wanted to give it to Concubine Yun immediately, but to be on the safe side I let a palace maid and a eunuch of similar age take the medicine at the same time. Sure enough, it was effective after one day.
On the third day, she boldly asked Concubine Yun to take pills, but there were only two pills left in the jar. After stopping the medicine last night, those who had taken the medicine had some relapses, and two of those who had not taken the medicine had high fevers that would not go down and were about to get injured.
And regained consciousness.
So early in the morning I went to the Huichun Hall in the Imperial City to inquire about the students who bought ginseng that day. The Huichun Hall only knew that the visitor was wearing the uniform of Tianxing Academy.
The old eunuch came here again. Wang Jun, who was on duty, called all the professors and students in the hospital's medical center, but no such person was found. When he was desperate, some students said that the smell of medicine has been wafting from the Xilin in the past few days.
As soon as they came out, everyone followed the smell of the medicine and gathered around Eunuch Tian to find him. As expected, they found He Qizhou who was practicing Sanqing Zhang hard, a unique skill that was not included in the Tianxingyuan curriculum.
After explaining his purpose, Wang Jun was overjoyed to have established a relationship with the palace. The future of Tianxingyuan and himself was still bright, but Qi Zhou's answer made everyone feel cold again.
Qi Zhou, who had just calmed down, heard that the other party came to ask for Shangqing Pills, and he answered honestly that the reason why he went to buy medicinal materials was to make medicine. The last Shangqing Pills were given to the old eunuch who came in person, and the newly made
The medicine needs to be baked and sun-dried for at least ten days.
The old eunuch had almost recovered after taking the medicine for three days. He was about to faint when he heard the result. If there was something wrong with Concubine Yun, and the emperor was responsible for it, what would he do?
Fortunately, Qi Zhou immediately followed him: "Eunuch Tian, the pills are just convenient to carry, the decoction is more effective. Let me make a recipe for you. The most important thing about this disease is to remove toxins. Just add a few ingredients to remove toxins."
The medicine will be good."
Mr. Tian said, "You should have told me earlier, you would have scared our family to death."
He Qizhou immediately wrote out a prescription, and then took out two clay pots, which were filled with thick liquid medicine. The prescription and one jar of liquid medicine were handed over to the old eunuch, and the other jar was handed to Wang Jun, saying:
"This is what I am going to use to make the elixir. Mix it with twice the water and heat it to make a decoction. You can take it immediately. Professor Wang, this father-in-law has not recovered yet, and it is most likely to be passed on to others at this time. Who of you was close to him just now?
It’s best to drink a dose of decoction for those with four meridians and below, just in case.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no one within three feet of Eunuch Tian. Eunuch Tian asked He Qizhou's name, thanked him and hurried back to the palace.
Wang Jun, who was holding the medicine jar, casually stuffed the medicine jar into the hands of the professor at the medical clinic next to him, and said to Qi Zhou: "He Qizhou, I didn't expect that your medical skills are quite good. If you really cure the nobles in the palace, your reward will be indispensable. Yes.
Okay, can the disease affect people with four or more meridians?"
He Qizhou answered honestly: "Normally not. People with the Four Meridians have deep skills and strong physiques, so it is difficult for viruses to invade. However, I heard my master say that if you really contract the disease, the stronger you are, the more dangerous it will be..."
On the way back, Wang Jun quietly said to the medical professor who was holding the medicine jar: "Send two bowls back to my dormitory."
Two days later, at the end of the tenth day of the school break, Qi Zhou felt that most of his internal and external injuries were better. He wanted to ask Lin Chuan and the others to go to Beiman Mountain for a tour, but unfortunately Duan Xianjue refused to let them go, and insisted on Lin Chuan practicing Kung Fu even after a rare day's rest.
.
He Qizhou also knew that although he was very familiar with the exercises and moves of various sects, to truly understand the secrets, he still needed to practice them personally. If he really wanted to teach them thoroughly, talking on paper was far from enough. Duan Xianjue's guidance was very important for Chu Qizhou.
Lin Chuan of the Four Meridians was of great significance, so he also had a good impression of the old man.
Yang Shan was actually more diligent than Lin Chuan. He only showed up once in the past few days. He asked Qi Zhou for some historical materials on the art of war and recited them in the evening. According to Yuan Che, the martial arts examination was held once every three years and there was no room for sloppiness.
Zhang Qingrou, who always disliked him, was left, so he was naturally embarrassed to ask him to go with him. Even Liu Junzhi was not willing to go with him, saying that he was exhausted and wanted to have a good sleep.
Fortunately, Li Ruogu was an idler, so the two of them went out of the west gate of Waiwai early in the morning. He Qizhou remembered the lessons learned from the previous two times. Like Li Ruogu, they both wore Confucian shirts. Li Ruogu already had a pair of Confucian shirts.
The good skin, coupled with the exquisite Sichuan embroidered silk shirt, shows his good temperament. Qi Zhou, who is wearing a blue robe, has red lips and white teeth, and a slender figure. However, the slightly swollen eye socket on the left side makes his left eye seem much smaller.
The two of them went all the way north and walked for more than ten miles to the foot of Beimang Mountain. This Beimang Mountain is close to the Yellow River and was an important place to guard the south bank during the confrontation with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is more than twenty miles long and the mountain is gentle. The highest point is less than a hundred feet.
To the east is the Royal Mountain Forest, and a large section in the middle belongs to the Yunmen Sect, the largest sect in the world. Together with the tens of thousands of acres of slope land at the foot of the mountain, it forms the huge foundation of the Yunmen Sect's general altar.
