Chapter 128

After Mrs. He made the new winter clothes, A Xu and the others had new clothes to wear.

The clothes I made before were unsewed and continued to be worn. In the old days, they could still be worn up to the wrists and ankles, but now they are a bit shorter, and the two of them are growing taller and longer like green onions.

Mrs. He was also worried that the new clothes would not last a year and a half and would no longer be wearable.

"Ms. He, you don't have to worry about this. Brother Qiu has been away from home for two months. Will he come back?" Xu Yi smiled and poured tea for her and brought a plate of pastries for her to eat.

Mrs. He nodded and said: "It's time to come back. Before he left, he told me that he wouldn't be gone for too long. Moreover, he had promised to go to the countryside to collect firewood and ashes for you. If he breaks his promise and doesn't come back, , I will beat him for you first. "

Firewood ashes are plant ashes.

Xu Yi has dug up a lot of medicinal materials in the past two years. If he encounters any with seeds, he collects them all. He was thinking about opening an experimental medicinal field in the courtyard after winter to see if he could grow medicinal seedlings.

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mrs. He talking about beating Yu Qiulin.

The two didn't talk for long. A Xu and A Jin came out wearing new clothes to meet people.

They turned around in front of Xu Yi and Madam He, and received unanimous praise. Fang Liu Niang praised Madam He's needlework and said that the clothes sold in clothing stores could not compare with them.

Madam He covered her face and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, it's too embarrassing for me to come. By the way, brother Yi, go and change it quickly. If there is anything that doesn't fit, I'll change it for you."

"I won't do it." Xu Yi was thin-skinned and shook his head in refusal, "Ms. He, what you made should be suitable."

Mrs. He said "Hey" and urged him to change it quickly.

Even Fang Liu Niang was smiling and called Xu Yi to go and change into new clothes.

The two of them were so passionate that Xu Yi had no chance of winning against them. I had no choice but to take my clothes and go into the house.

The clothes that Madam He made for Xu Yi were made of fine dark green cotton, which made him look fresh, handsome, and as gentle as jade.

"What a handsome young man." Mrs. He said with a smile in her eyes.

Fang Liuniang nodded: "Mr. Lang looks extraordinary in these clothes. He looks like a noble man from some family."

Xu Yi: "..."

His ears turned red and he went back to change into new clothes.

Mrs. He didn't stay long. She had other things to be busy with, so she said she would send Yu Qiulin over when he came back.

...

Xu Yi didn't have much time to spare. Half a day later, Yun Bai came to invite someone, saying that Guo Zhongyou wanted to invite someone.

Guo Zhongyou rested for half a day and regained his energy. He asked Xu Yi with great interest what good places there were in Yanting County.

Where is Yanting County interesting, Xu Yi thought of Cuiyuan.

There is a green lake in Cuiyuan, in which there are many fat fishes, one of which weighs several kilograms. There is also a lotus lake in the Cuiyuan, but it is late autumn, so I am afraid there are no lotus flowers to appreciate in the lake.

"I heard that there is a temple on Jin'e Mountain that is extremely efficacious. I wonder if Dr. Xu has been there?" Guo Zhongyou asked.

Xu Yi said: "I often go to Jin'e Mountain to look for medicinal materials. I rarely go to the temple, but I have been there a few times."

Guo Zhongyou asked: "How about a trip?"

Xu Yi said: "Okay, Doctor Guo, just a moment "I'll arrange the vehicles later."

Xu Yi arranged for Uncle Liu's ox cart. He only took A Xu, Guo Zhongyou took Yun Bai, and the group went out with the tools for going up the mountain.

On the way, Uncle Liu spoke enthusiastically about the customs and customs of Yanting County, from food to hot news.

Guo Zhongyou and Yun Bai both heard this with great interest, and felt that the father-in-law who drove the bullock cart was really beyond recognition.

"My father-in-law, are you familiar with Dr. Xu?" Guo Zhongyou asked with a smile.

Uncle Liu was stunned and turned his eyes to look at Xu Yi. Seeing that Xu Yi looked at ease, he smiled and said, "You're familiar. Doctor Xu hired my ox cart. Every time he goes out of the city and goes up the mountain, he rides in my cart." "

There are a lot of medicinal materials on this mountain, right?"

Guo Zhongyou thought of the shelves he saw drying medicinal materials in the courtyard.

There are not many people who know medicine, but those people are not stupid. If there are medicinal materials wherever they are, they all rush to dig for them.

When Guo Zhongyou was young, he often went into the mountains to dig out a lot of medicinal materials. Later, when he got older, he accidentally fell down and his legs were swollen for half a month, so he didn't go there as frequently as before.

Moreover, Suining Prefecture is more lively than Yanting County, and several mountains in the suburbs are owned by their owners.

Xu Yi said: "If you want to dig for medicinal materials, you have to go deeper. The people there are afraid of snakes, insects and beasts and dare not go in."

Guo Zhongyou was a little surprised: "You are not afraid?"

Xu Yi smiled: "Bring Pi. Snake medicine and machete, if you encounter a fierce beast, just run away."

Uncle Liu twitched when he heard this. If he hadn't seen Xu Yi dragging a wild boar with his own eyes, he might have believed this.

Chatting all the way, Jin'e Mountain soon arrived.

The Golden Ear Temple is located halfway up the mountain. There are stone steps leading to the mountainside, which were built by believers who went up the mountain. It has been many years, and some stone steps have been dented in the middle due to constant trampling.

It was the first time for Guo Zhongyou and Yun Bai to come. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful. They walked and walked, with Xu Yi accompanying them. When they saw any missing medicinal materials, they dug them up and put them in the bamboo basket at the back.

Yun Bai turned around and happened to see Xu Yi putting something in the bamboo basket. He asked doubtfully, "Doctor Xu, what did you dig?"

"It's the green flowers." Xu Yi showed him the green flowers in the basket.

Yun Bai was a little stunned when he saw that the plant with purple flowers that looked like small chrysanthemums was called Qingyuan.

He has not been studying medicine for a long time. Although he has learned a lot of medicinal materials from Guo Zhongyou, he still doesn't know many uncommon medicinal materials.

"What can this medicinal material cure? Why does it have purple flowers and why is it named like this?" Yun Bai asked Xu Yi as he sniffed it.

Xu Yi said: "The name Aster comes from "Wu's Materia Medica" written by Wu Pu in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It also has another name, Aster."

"Bitter taste, warm in nature, and returns to the lung meridian." At this time, Guo Zhongyou came over, took the green rose and said to Yunbai, "This green rose can dispel phlegm and relieve cough, dispel cold and moisturize the lungs. Don't forget to put it away if you see it on the road in the future." "

"Student understands," Yun Bai said respectfully.

Guo Zhongyou returned the green mango in his hand to Xu Yi and said with a smile: "We are enjoying the scenery, but you are looking for medicinal materials, which makes me ashamed."

Xu Yi said: "I'm just used to it."

Guo Zhongyou nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good habit, Bai'er, you should learn more."

Yun Bai lowered his head: "Student, I understand."

Xu Yi laughed hoarsely.

The Golden Goose Temple is not big and there is not much to see. They lit a stick of incense on it and paid their respects. There was nothing else to do.

In the next few days, Guo Zhongyou kept discussing medicine with Xu Yi at Xu's house.

Guo Zhongyou is worthy of having learned from imperial doctors. His knowledge and insight into traditional Chinese medicine are deeper than those of ordinary civilian doctors. Moreover, this was Xu Yi's first discussion with a doctor of this era. After a period of time, Xu Yi saw what a medical idiot is from Guo Zhongyou.

Even in the long history, there is no doctor named "Guo Zhongyou" left.

Xu Yi silently thought in his heart that only by truly getting in touch with this person can he make an objective judgment on his knowledge and abilities.

Judgment told Xu Yi that Guo Zhongyou was a doctor worth making friends with.

So Xu Yi also called Wu Guanshan.

"I also have an acquaintance of a doctor in Yanting. He is really a benevolent man and has the heart to help the world by hanging a pot. I think Doctor Guo will be happy to see him." Xu Yi enthusiastically recommended.

Guo Zhongyou came to see Xu Yi, so he naturally wanted to meet the person recommended by Xu Yi.

Soon, Xu Yi called A Xu to invite Wu Guanshan.

When Wu Guanshan heard that it was a doctor from Suining Prefecture, he hurriedly brought a pot of wine and two packs of Wang's Po's braised pork to the door after the hospital closed.

"Brother Wu, I'm waiting for you."

Xu Yi saw him coming and pulled him to the courtyard.

In the late autumn night, the wind blew away the dead leaves, the clouds were thin and the moon was clear, the lights and candles slanted on the shadows of the trees, and the roaring stove was boiling hot soup.

The coldness of autumn and the hot air from the hot stove forming a world.

Wu Guanshan saw a kind-looking father-in-law holding up a piece of meat with chopsticks and eating it with a plate of green onions, and he knew who this person was.

He stepped forward and saluted: "I've met Dr. Guo in Wu Guanshan."

"Doctor Wu is here. Don't stand still. Sit down." In a few days, Guo Zhongyou had regarded the Xu family as his own. He greeted, "The side oven we eat today is very delicious. You should try it quickly."

Wu Guanshan looked at Xu Yi blankly, and Xu Yi shook his head at him with a slight smile.

"Doctor Guo, it's my honor to sit and talk with you." After Wu Guanshan finished speaking, he poured the wine and drank a glass first.

Guo Zhongyou waved his hand: "You young people like to talk politely. We are all doctors, there is no distinction between nobles. Furthermore, I came to Xu Yi to discuss the doctrine. You were called by Xu Yi, so I guess you are here." It takes some ability."

"..." Wu Guanshan didn't expect that the other party would not act according to common sense.

After the opening remarks, Guo Zhongyou asked him directly who he studied under, how many years he had been studying medicine, how many medicinal materials he knew, and whether he had ever traveled?

Wu Guanshan answered one by one, but Guo Zhongyou shook his head: "You can't do it, you are still too polite."

"This...how do you say this?" Wu Guanshan asked him in surprise.

Guo Zhongyou said: "After you studied medicine, you have been staying in the medical clinic. You thrive in the medical clinic and fail in the medical clinic. You can only sit in the well and watch the sky, and you are trapped here."

Wu Guanshan looked in a daze. Didn't expect this.

Since he started studying medicine, he has followed his master's words. The master asked him to stay and manage the medical clinic, so he stayed. I never thought that one day I would leave Yanting County, go elsewhere, and open a medical clinic of my own.

After discussing with Guo Zhongyou, Wu Guanshan became confused about his life.

But Guo Zhongyou was right about one thing, he was too well-behaved.

Even though he was singled out, he still didn't dare to think about where he could go after leaving Yanting County.

After Xu Yi knew his troubles, he sighed: "Brother Wu, people have different ambitions. Some people want to be officials, some people want to be rich merchants, and some people just want to live a stable life. People are different. If you change your mind based on Dr. Guo's words, you are following the path chosen by others."

Wu Guanshan's confusion became clearer after hearing this.

Yes, he was feeling sad about something that had not happened.

...

Suining Mansion.

Two months later, the Xiaoshi Pills that Yu Qiulin brought out were almost sold out.

On this day, he received a letter from Xu Yi in the small courtyard he temporarily rented in the south of the city.

Yu Qiulin opened it and read the contents. Without thinking much, he hurried to the city to inquire about Guo Zhongyou.

After getting the news, he packed his bags and prepared to go home.
