In Dongyuan, the eldest lady Shu Shu'er was playing in the garden with her two sons, Zhu Hong and Zhu Wu, including the fourth son Zhu Yong who was just born to the second lady Zhao Ying'er years ago, and the third daughter of the third lady Zhang Liu.
The Xi'er children are all raised by their respective parents, with the wet nurse only serving as an assistant. However, generally speaking, the three ladies and their daughters often walk around Zhu Laoshi's residence.
The two little guys were over three years old, and they were the most capable of running. Each of them was holding a writing brush, and they were chasing each other. The two maids followed them and shouted: "First Master, Second Young Master, be careful, don't fall."
It’s on.”
The maid Xiao Lan panted and ran back to Shu Shu'er, helpless: "Madam, Lan'er has no choice, the two young masters ran too fast."
Seeing her son running happily, there was no unhappy look on Shushu'er's face. Perhaps she had also jumped up and down the mountains in the Gaojia Water Village when she was a child. She waved her hands: "It doesn't matter, you guys should be careful, we are tired from running."
They will stop on their own."
At this time, a maid outside trotted over with dangling legs, saluted and reported: "Madam, the doctor you want to invite has arrived and is waiting in the hall."
"Oh, the man is here." Shu Shu'er was a little surprised. Apparently he came a little early. She only heard about this man four days ago that he was traveling to Jingling County for medical treatment. He was the man that your husband was looking for, so she sent someone to invite him.
I came here and said I wanted to treat a disease.
Shu Shu'er stood up, adjusted her manners, and ordered the maid: "Go and find Gan Ning and ask him to bring some people. I will go back to find him." She turned to look at her two sons who were tired from running.
The maids were feeding them water, and then said to Xiaolan: "I will be out of the house for two days, you stay here to take care of Hong'er and Wu'er."
"Yes, madam, Lan'er will take a good look at the two young masters." Xiaolan replied. She has been with Shu Shu'er since she was a child. She is her sister and the most trusted person.
"Let's go!" After explaining, he walked to the living room.
Speaking of looking for Hua Tuo, the reason was the two notes Shu Shuer saw on the first screen three days ago when she was making plans in Zhu Kui's study.
Whether in Moling or Jiangxia, only he and his wife knew the key to the secret chamber in Zhu Kui's study. After Zhu Kui went on an expedition, she took care of the hygiene in the secret chamber, and Zhu Kui was happy to trust her.
These secrets were never hidden from her. The three screens were covered with small notes, arranged one by one and pinned neatly.
The three screens are divided into three levels of importance. She is also aware of these. She has always read and forgotten the memorandums recorded on the notes, not saying much but commenting more.
Just because that day I saw the word Huang Zhong written on the first screen, with the following note: A famous general, his only son suffered from wind and cold. This shows that the husband was very fond of Huang Zhong and wanted to get him quickly.
Another picture of Hua Tuo, with a note: World's Famous Doctor, Medical Clinic Plan. Although she didn't understand what the Medical Clinic Plan was, the four little characters of World's Famous Doctor made her heart light up, and she thought that Hua Tuo was not in Jiangxia County.
Come, go and treat Huang Zhong's son, and recruit this general to serve your husband.
Do whatever you want, lock the secret cabinet, and immediately send people to Jingling County to find someone.
In the living room, Hua Tuo politely declined the tea that was served to him. He had a boyish face and fair hair, and a broad forehead. The most striking thing was that his eyes were pure and pure, giving people a look of kindness and compassion.
You will know that this person is a compassionate doctor.
Shu Shu'er nodded with satisfaction. Judging from the appearance, this person should have some medical skills. He didn't have to worry about hiring a mediocre person to treat Huang Zhong's son. If something went wrong, his good intentions would turn into bad intentions.
Seeing Shu Shu'er arriving, Hua Tuo quickly straightened himself up and saluted: "I've met Madam."
Shu Shu'er returned the gift and said directly: "Doctor Hua, I invite you here this time because I want you to come with me to treat someone. You can take whatever money you want from the consultation."
"I don't dare. Madam has her life, and I don't dare to disobey you. What's more, Governor Zhu is kind and loving to the people. This money is all." Hua Tuo modestly shied away the gold and silver, a kind of benevolence of a doctor, which made Shu Shu'er uncomfortable.
Force money...
"Please madam, please lead the way."
The note only recorded a general outline. I didn't know where Huang Zhong was, but I thought Gan Ning would definitely know: "Doctor Hua, please wait a moment. My third uncle is here and he will lead the way."
Hua Tuo nodded, and the two waited in the living room for a short while before Gan Ning arrived.
Sure enough, Shu Shu'er inquired and found out where Huang Zhong lived. He worked in Jiangling and knew the location of his house. Zhu Kui wanted to recruit him, so he naturally ordered spies to check Huang Zhong's movements from time to time.
Then Shu Shu'er asked Gan Ning to escort her and took Hua Tuo with her to go to Jiangling at high speed.
Although I don’t know what this eldest lady wants to do, considering that Jiangling is not very far away, and Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Jiangxia are still stable, and the prefect of the county has no grudge against Zhu Kui, there shouldn’t be any problems. I ordered ten orders when I left the house.
He was well guarded and left the city without stopping.
Shushu'er grew up in a rough place, and Hua Tuo also traveled around the world as a doctor. Riding a fast horse was no problem. It only took a day and a half to arrive. After paying the city gate tax, Gan Ning led him straight to Huang Zhong's home.
The address is a small four-bedroom house in the civilian area of Nancheng, Jiangling. Over the years, Huang Zhong hired famous doctors everywhere to treat his son, which cost a lot of money. His salary as a school captain has long been dwarfed by comparison. In the Han Dynasty, he
The position should not be so poor.
A group of more than ten people walked to the door of his house. Gan Ning sent a sergeant to knock on the door.
After a while, a woman rolled up her sleeves and was dressed in cloth. She came out and opened the door. She saw a dozen people dressed as soldiers standing in front of her house. She couldn't help but be startled. Could they be her husband's subordinates? The expression of these people was the same as usual.
The subordinates who were guests of Huang Zhong's family had the same expression, but there were not so many people here as in the past, and most of them knew each other.
He asked cautiously: "Who are the guests looking for?"
Gan Ning took a step forward, saluted, and asked, "This is Colonel Huang Zhong's home. Is anyone else there?"
The woman folded her left and right hands, pressed them on her hips, bent her knees, lowered her head, and replied, "This is right here. My husband should be in the study. How many guests are there?"
Gan Ning held up his hands and introduced: "We are here from Jiangxia. This is the wife of my eunuch. I heard that your young master is ill, so she brought a Chinese miraculous doctor to visit the young master."
The woman turned to look at Shu Shu'er and saw her nodding in greeting. She suddenly realized that this was the wife of a prefect of a county. She couldn't help but feel that she was rude. She had just been doing laundry at home, so she rolled up her sleeves and quickly repaired them.
Invite: "Please come in quickly!" At the same time, he took the lead and walked inside, shouting loudly: "Husband, a distinguished guest from Jiangxia is visiting."
Huang Zhong's study is actually very close to the door of the mansion. A few steps away, he heard his wife's voice. He put down what he was doing and stepped into the lobby. When he looked up, he recognized Gan Ning. He was pacifying Zhao Ci.
Frequent visits.
"Brother Gan, you are here. Huang is far away to welcome you! Please come quickly!"
Huang Zhong enthusiastically welcomed Gan Ning, Shu Shu'er, and Hua Tuo into the hall to make arrangements, while the other sergeants were waiting outside the hall. Then he ordered his wife to make tea and serve it. He did not hire servants at home, and his wife did everything by herself.
Do it personally.
After taking a sip of tea, Shu Shuer explained her intention and introduced Hua Tuo to Huang Zhong.
"Thank you, Mrs. Taishou, for caring about the child's illness. Huang has been troubled by this problem for many years. Most of the time, even doctors could not find a cure and he was worried." When talking about his son, Huang Zhong looked worried and sentimental. He is also a smart man. In his early years in Pingzhao,
After Empress Dowager Ci, Zhu Kui expressed his intention to recruit him, and he was grateful. This time he inquired about his family situation and tried every means to invite famous doctors to treat his illness, but he couldn't express how grateful he was.
Huang Zhong's son is called Huang Xu, and his room is next to the hall. As everyone approaches, they smell the pungent smell of medicine, and there is a slight coughing sound. At this moment, a pale face, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, is lying on the bed.
On the couch, when I saw a guest about to come in, I squirmed and wanted to get up to salute, but I was held back by my mother who came into the room first...
Then Huang's mother gently introduced the person in his ear. Huang Xu moved a few times, but still couldn't get up, so he had to nod.
Hua Tuo frowned when he first smelled the smell of medicine and the closed environment in the room. He had an idea in his mind. He stepped forward and felt his pulse, then looked at his throat. Finally, he leaned over and listened to his breathing conditions on his chest and forehead.
thinking.
Seeing the miracle doctor on the sidelines, he was worried about his son and asked, "My son, Doctor Hua, how is my son's condition?"
Hua Tuo looked back and asked: "Master Huang, your father's disease is acquired. It has obviously become so serious in the past two years."
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up and he replied hastily: "The miracle doctor clearly showed that although the child was weak since childhood, he had no disease or disaster. Later, when he got older, Huang taught martial arts to strengthen his body, so he didn't want to suffer from this disease within a few years.
"
Hua Tuo understood and said with a smile: "That's right. Your child has been weak since he was a child, and his lung energy is far from ordinary people. He shouldn't do strenuous exercise at all, let alone practice martial arts. This is caused by the distraction of Qi during martial arts practice." Then he continued.
He stood up and pointed around: "Smell this medicine
If you notice the smell, you will know that you have taken too much medicine. Looking at the windows closed, the air cannot circulate, which makes the condition more serious. Fortunately, I saw it in time. If it had been half a year at night, the gods would not be able to do anything." He came to the window and pushed it.
, just open all the windows on all four sides.
Huang Zhong was anxious: "Earlier, the doctor said that he had a cold and couldn't see the wind, so he closed all the windows. But he didn't think that Huang was the cause of Xu'er's disease, and regretted that he should teach him martial arts." His voice was sad.
Qi Ran, there are tears in his eyes.
Huang Xu, who was on the bed, moved with all his strength and said softly: "Father, don't be sad. You have also worked hard and thought about my son. I don't blame him."
Huang Zhong was skilled in bow and horse all his life, so he naturally didn't want his martial arts skills to be passed down to others. Seeing that his son was weak, he forced his son to practice martial arts more intensively, hoping to improve his physical condition. He didn't want to train too hard, causing problems and leaving the root cause of the disease.
