Chapter 216

When it comes to apprenticeship, it is not just about kowtow. After Cheng Yiran got over his excitement, he was busy preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony.

For example, when a teacher accepts a student, he or she needs to dress appropriately, send a greeting card to the teacher, and perform six rituals.

These "six rites" are also very particular. They are rewards given to teachers and follow the etiquette of apprenticeship prescribed by Confucianism.

On the second schedule, Yiran came to the market early and bought two strips of fat and thin pork belly from the butcher. He also went to the vegetable stall and bought a handful of fresh celery. Then he went to the grain store and bought dried longan. , lotus seeds, red beans and red dates.

On the day of apprenticeship, Yan Quyue also came. She sat at the top of the hall and accepted Cheng Yiran's apprenticeship ceremony together with Xu Yi.

From today on, he will change his words and call Xu Yi "teacher" and Yan Quyue "wife", which makes A Xu and A Jin extremely envious.

Although they are the first pair of apprentices accepted by Xu Yi, they have not gone through the apprenticeship ceremony and have not changed their words so far, so they are real and anonymous.

After Cheng Yiran paid homage to his teacher, he turned around to see the brother and sister, and saluted politely: "Senior brother, senior sister."

The two were stunned at first, and then saluted him happily.

"From now on, you will be our junior brother." A Jin said with a smile, "If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask us. We have followed Lang Jun for so many years and learned a lot."

A Xu looked at him: "Of course, we can't overstep our authority. If the husband is around, junior brother should ask the husband first."

Cheng Yiran smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother and sister, for not giving up."

Cheng Yiran returned home, and his mother was waiting for him in the house. Seeing him coming back, she touched him happily and said, "Brother Yi has a way out now. You must not let Dr. Xu down. Study medicine under his knees. When you can graduate, our lives will get better." "

His mother took a look at the sky. It was covered with clouds and fog. This is a good sign.

As the saying goes, a cloud like a car hood above a person's head is a sign of great wealth. As soon as her son became a disciple, the clouds surged and gathered on the roof of her house. Wasn't it a sign that her son finally had a way out.

Seeing his mother crying with joy, Cheng Yiran was so moved that it felt like it was stabbing him in the heart and he couldn't let it go.

Thinking of many scenes from the past, he only hated himself for not being up to par.

Cheng Yiran half-knelt on the ground and held his mother's hand firmly: "Mom, I will study medicine well and live up to your and the teacher's expectations."

Maybe, as his mother said, their lives will be different in the future. A lot has changed.

But now he still doesn't know what kind of choices he will face in the future.

...

On the third day after he accepted his apprenticeship, Xu Yi made a teaching plan.

The three apprentices in his hands are all not beginners. They all have solid basic knowledge. What they lack is clinical experience.

This clinical experience is very important. After all, the knowledge learned from medical books is limited, and the disease syndromes are diverse. There are very few patients whose diseases are exactly the same as those written in the textbooks.

How low is the probability? Just like buying the same part of pork, the texture, growth and pattern of the meat are different.

It is winter, and more and more people are warming up by drinking alcohol. However, the alcohol is strong in nature. After entering the stomach, the Wei Qi disperses and fills the collaterals and blood in the meridians. Over time, problems will occur.

At this time, the probability of wind evil taking advantage of the situation increases.

The number of sick people has also increased.

Among them, the most susceptible ones are alcoholics who drink and eat meat all year round and get themselves drunk in isolation.

Xu Yi has treated many such patients, and the accumulated medical records alone are enough to be compiled into two books.

When clinical experience accumulates to a certain amount, there is a benefit: just by looking at the patient, you can roughly judge his symptoms.

Xu Yi took out the medical records in this area: "Read this medical record carefully first. If a patient comes to see you later, it will be up to you to diagnose and treat it."

A Xu took the medical record in surprise and held it tightly in his arms: " "Lang Jun, do my sister and I also want to participate?"

"Yes, you all need to participate," Xu Yi replied.

Ah Jin then asked: "But junior brother has never taken care of patients like this before. If he comes with us, he may not be able to keep up with the process."

Xu Yi smiled: "Not necessarily."

"Don't worry, I will I'll be there. If there's a problem, I'll take action."

After hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yiran took the medical record and turned it over, and saw that each patient's symptoms, the process of first and second diagnosis, the purpose and pharmacology of the prescription, etc. were recorded in detail, all clearly.

He was stunned for a moment, like an ignorant little fish rushing into the river and sea. Facing the rolling waves, he had nowhere to stay, but he swam in it, letting himself wander with the waves. Everywhere he passed, there was a dazzling splendor.

After reading only one medical case, he had to stop and think, otherwise his brain would not be able to recover.

"There's no rush." ​​Xu Yi said with a smile, "With your strength, you can actually take charge of it on your own, but you don't have a greater understanding of your abilities yet."

Only when you have real contact with patients can you truly understand what you are doing. Can what you learn be applied?

When things got here, Xu Yi asked them to take the medical records and go back to their rooms to study.

He came to the next room and asked Erqing to go to the study to talk about business.

"How is Miss Wan'er doing in the building these days?" Xu Yi asked.

Erqing has replaced A Xu these days and has been staring at the flower house. Mian'e, who is beside Wan'er, has been ransomed. In the past few days, the madam has not arranged a new maid for her.

As if he was afraid that the new maid would be incited to rebel, he kept a close eye on her.

In this scene, it was not easy for her to spread the news out of the building. Erqing thought to herself: "She can't even get out of her room now. There are two thugs guarding the outside. You can only see her after paying money."

"Are you injured?" Xu Yi frowned.

Erqing shook his head: "The madam didn't dare to come out in the open, but Miss Wan'er has also suffered a lot. Now when she receives guests, all the rewards left behind have been taken away."

Obviously, this is not willing to let Wan'er redeem her life. .

In fact, with Wan'er's status in the building, there was no reason for the madam to be so scrupulous. She was angry that a little flower lady was riding on top of her.

What's more, the medicinal wine sold by Xu Yi is really attractive to the madam. But because of this relationship, she hated Wan'er for hiding it from her. After all, with Wan'er's little excuse, how could he have deceived her? When the Madam got angry and looked back, she would know how big the loopholes were.

Xu Yi was waiting for the madam to arrive with her thugs.

But the madam is more vigilant than he thought and has not come to her door yet.

Xu Yi supported Yi and thought, Xumi, he confirmed the plan: "Erqing, you take the medicinal wine and go to the busiest brothel in Nava City to find the person in charge to sell this wine. Afterwards, find a few more The idle men spread the news in various teahouses, restaurants and singing houses, saying that I want to sell the secret recipe of this medicinal wine. "

Erqing suddenly asked, "Doctor Xu, do you really want to sell it?"

"No, only. Sell ​​it to the madam." Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and told him, "You must let her know the value of this secret recipe."

Erqing said thoughtfully, "I understand."

After explaining the matter, he took it. Jiaozi handed it to him: "It will cost some money to do this. You can take the money and do the work."

"Doctor Xu, do I want to see Miss Wan'er first?" Erqing took the money and put it away, and asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi laughed and said, "I do, remember not to let Miss Wan'er leak the news."

If you want to get her out, you have to use some means. Xu Yi has never thought of being merciful to a woman like a madam who forces her virginity into prostitution.

Perhaps in this world, the bustard is also a pitiful person, but sometimes, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

After that, Erqing followed the instructions and went to a tiled pavilion in the market for recreation. The lamps in the pavilion were bright, and low-class prostitutes came unannounced. When they saw Erqing's handsome and young face, they all felt joy in their eyes. Unexpectedly, this young man turned around in disgust before they could get closer.

Erqing was not here for entertainment. When he first arrived, a servant brought tea and asked him to order "flower tea".

He thought about what Xu Yi told him and ordered the famous flower girl in the hotel. Before the flower girl came, he spent several thousand dollars.

Seeing the money slipping away in vain, Erqing was heartbroken, but for the sake of business, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, just looking at the drunkards having fun in the corridor with fierce eyes that were not easy to mess with.

Unfortunately, during the singing before the banquet tonight, many prostitutes in the building came here to compete and show off their beauty. This tile pavilion is also under the name of the bustard's boss.

Erqing was drinking tea from his cup, and his eyes fell on the entrance hall, where he saw the madam and several flower girls coming to join in the fun.

He had a plan in mind and immediately called the servant next to him and asked him where the manager was. He had an excellent deal...

The madam passed by and heard Erqing's clear voice that she never lowered.

Selling medicinal wine prescriptions?

Is it that aphrodisiac wine that has magical effects and can make you strong and healthy as long as you drink it, and can lead to extravagant entertainment without harming your body?

The Madam Madam was pleasantly surprised and did not rush to speak. Instead, she let the flower girls following her make arrangements. She came to sit next to her, ordered a pot of good tea, and listened carefully.

The more she heard, the more shocked she became. Xu really wanted to sell the prescription.

She couldn't help but secretly rejoice. If she bought this recipe and used her methods to earn tens of thousands of dollars, wouldn't it be easy to get it?

No, you can't let others buy that prescription.

Seeing Er Qing finish talking with the madam who was in charge of the Tile Hall and leave from the entrance hall, she followed him closely.

"This little brother, wait a minute!" The Madam walked quickly, raised the colorful handkerchief in her hand, and said with a winking smile, "This little brother wants me to be easy to chase, but he still remembers me. We met on the boat that day. "

Erqing frowned, as if he had been thinking for a long time: "Oh, it's you."

He stopped and asked her if she was okay.

The madam wanted to step forward and hold his hand, but he sidestepped her. She naturally retracted her hand and asked with a smile: "I heard that you were going to sell that medicinal wine recipe. I just had this intention. I wonder what your husband wants." " The price?"

"Lang Jun didn't say." Er Qing shook his head, "If you have such intention, you can come and ask her."

Er Qing didn't have much contact with her, fearing that his poor acting skills would make the madam suspicious.

He only left an address and left.

...

Xu Yi got up very early. Before the sounds of work could be heard from the Nancheng neighbors, he was practicing boxing in the morning light.

After washing, he sat in the study and copied several medical records. After editing them into a volume, he came out of the study.

At this moment, Yan Quyue and the others also woke up. Outside the hospital, the market gradually became lively, with all kinds of shouts and shouts coming and going. Erqing ran to buy them hot breakfast.

A Xu had always been in charge of food matters. This time A Xu was busy memorizing medical records, and Er Qing took the initiative to take over these trivial matters.

After eating, Xu Yi asked Mian'e to stay in the house and not come out.

According to his understanding of the Madam, she will definitely bring someone to discuss the sale of prescriptions soon.

If she sees Mian'e here, there's no guarantee she won't want to go elsewhere. In terms of shrewdness, Xu Yi can't guarantee that he is better than the Madam.

What he had in mind was human greed. As long as the madam was as he thought, he wouldn't be afraid that she wouldn't fall into the trap.

Cheng Yiran came over very early today, and he was left to have breakfast by Xu Yi. At this time, he finally knew what Xu Yi was planning. Cheng Yiran felt a sense of admiration and enthusiasm when he thought of the interlocking and confusing things here.

"Teacher, do you need me to do anything?" he asked solemnly.

Xu Yi waved his hand: "That's not necessary, this matter doesn't involve you, and you don't show up today."

By the way, in case the madam found out something was wrong and got angry and attacked Cheng Yiran and her son, Xu Yi also asked him not to be exposed for the time being. .

Cheng Yiran listened and said loudly: "I'm not afraid. No matter what, if my mother and I leave Fuzhou, there will always be a place for me, Cheng Yiran, in this big world."

"It's good to have such ambition." Xu Yi did not dampen his morale. After asking him a few questions and seeing that he answered them all, I asked him to do something.

"I have a letter for you to deliver."

Cheng Yiran straightened up

and said, "Teacher, where should I send it to?" Xu Yi smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "Prefect Pan's residence."

Cheng Yiran: "!!!"

He took it When I came out of Xu's courtyard with the letter, people were still confused.

He lowered his head and looked at the envelope in his hand. The teacher's name was signed on it, but it looked unremarkable.

But a letter sent to the magistrate's residence cannot be ordinary. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to deliver the letter.

When he arrived at the magistrate's residence in the north of the city, the concierge saw him coming and wanted to expel him, but when he explained his purpose, he unexpectedly let him in.

"Dr. Xu asked you to come?" The concierge took the letter over and saw that the handwriting on it was indeed from Xu Yi. He took another look at Cheng Yiran and asked his name.

The boy paused and said, "Wait a minute."

He went and came back again. There was no letter in his hand, and he told Cheng Yiran: "Go back and tell Dr. Xu that the master knows, so that he can do it with peace of mind."

From the time Cheng Yiran arrived at the magistrate's mansion to the time he came out of it, within a quarter of an hour, he felt like he was suddenly separated from the rest of the world.

It seemed that he was involved in something great.

...

The bustard came in a sedan chair and knocked on Xu's door.

I didn't expect her to come, but Xu Yi wasn't there. After asking, I found out from the little brother that Xu Yi had gone to a free clinic.

"Didn't you tell him that I'm coming today?" the Madam said, feeling a little annoyed.

Erqing touched his nose and looked as if he didn't know anything: "How can I know what Mr. Lang wants to do?"

The Madam took a breath and said: "..." This is the truth, but she is the one who is in trouble. Not happy.

But she had something to come, so she couldn't just leave with a cold face. She put down the gift and said, "I'll come back tomorrow."

Erqing nodded and watched her leave.

The bustard walked for a long time, and A Xu turned in from the alley not far away with his donkey cart.

Xu Yi deliberately hung up the madam, but he actually took the medicine box to the free clinic.

The target of his free clinic this time was the poor people in the rescue center in the south of the city. These people were all affected by the disaster at home, their houses were destroyed, and they had nowhere to go. They were placed in temporary residence here by the government.

Xu Yi went there, handed over the sign, and justifiably took A Xu, A Jin and Cheng Yiran inside to give them a free clinic.

There are not many people in the rescue center, only about a hundred, and not all of them are sick.

Some got sick from the cold, some got sick from hunger, and some had lingering illnesses, big and small.

Seeing that his face was thin and sallow, his lips were chapped and white, he had a cough and fever, and his belly was as bloated as a ball, etc., he was immediately taken to see a doctor.

In less than half a day, they wrote prescriptions for dozens of sick patients.

Xu Yi did not go out personally. He watched from the sidelines as the three of them treated the doctor, wrote the prescription, and then reviewed and confirmed it. After this set of procedures, the guard at the rescue center also understood everything and enthusiastically Pour some water for Xu Yi.

But the water quality was not good, so Xu Yi didn't drink it, and asked the waiter to remember to boil the water for drinking.

"This can reduce a lot of diseases." Seeing the troubled look on his face, Xu Yi knew what they cared about. "If someone died here, it would be more troublesome and could easily cause epidemics."

The errand boy stopped talking when he heard this. .

But seeing the winter firewood set up in the backyard, it is not difficult to boil water for drinking, but it depends on how reluctant these people are to part with it.

At about eleven o'clock the next day, the madam came to Xu's yard. When she came, Ah Jin and Er Qing were collecting scattered medicinal materials in the yard. When they saw her coming, Er Qing ran over and opened the door.

"Is your husband here?" the Madam asked eagerly.

Erqing said: "Yes, please come with me." He led the person into the house and went directly to the hall.

Xu Yi was inside. When he saw her coming in, he smiled warmly and said, "It's so wonderful that this mother can come." After saying that, he sent Erqing to bring tea, "Bring the best food at home." Make some winter tea and let mom taste this good tea."

The bustard's mouth twitched slightly, when did this winter tea become good tea.

She smiled and said: "It's rare for me to come to the hall. Thank you Doctor Xu for the tea. But I'm not here to ask for tea. Your little brother must have mentioned it to you. I came here thinking about that." "The medicinal

wine recipe is still there, mom, don't worry," Xu Yi said leisurely, picking up the winter tea that Erqing had brewed, and drank it leisurely.

What the madam can do is to accompany her with a smile. After drinking it twice, the tea soup turned white. Xu Yi seemed to have thought of business and put down the cup in his hand.

"My prescription is not that expensive. I am really happy that I can trouble my mother to buy it." Xu Yi said, "You name a price. If I think it is suitable, then what if I give this prescription to my mother."

The madam was slightly stunned . , I didn’t expect him to come here. After thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said: "I paid five hundred guan, and this recipe cannot be given to others."

Xu Yi sighed and said, "Mom, this price is too much for me. You I also know that this recipe has a lot of water, but it is endless. If I only give you five hundred guan, it is too little." "..." The madam gritted her back molars and asked, "How much does Doctor Xu want

?"

Blinking, she said innocently: "Mom, let me tell you a price."

Madam: "..."

She sneered, "Doctor Xu, this person can't be too greedy. Although I'm just a mother, you should also know that Wa Shi is not Anyone can buy it. We are hooked up to the prostitutes. It is official. There is no need for me to explain how powerful it is. "

"Don't you want to buy it yourself?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

The madam was exposed, but she was not cowardly. She said with a smile: "Five hundred and fifty strings, no more."

"Okay, it's up to mother." This time, Xu Yi directly responded and agreed.

Fang Zi had already prepared. As long as the buyout deed was signed and stamped with a red seal, the matter would be settled.

When they came to the department that processed the deeds, the two handed over the money with one hand and the prescription with the other. The mother got the prescription. She looked closely, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt.

Thinking about it again, 80% of the medicinal wine in their flower house had the right ingredients.

Unfortunately, before she could understand the reason, Wan'er suddenly came to her with money to redeem herself. What was placed in front of the bustard mother was a shining two hundred silver coins. I don't know where this Wan'er came from.

There was no reason not to accept the money when it came to her. The madam was just getting better with the medicine, so she gave her the deed with just a few words of humiliation.

Wan'er didn't have time to think too much after receiving the body deed, so she immediately packed up her clothes and ran out of the building.

Erqing drove the donkey cart and had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her coming, he opened the curtain for her.

Wan'er thanked her and got into the donkey carriage. As soon as she entered the carriage, she burst into tears. The emotions she had suppressed all the way broke out completely, and she stopped crying until the donkey cart stopped and her voice became hoarse.

After a while, Wan'er saw Xu Yi again with two red and swollen eyes.

At the door, a woman in a pink dress and a red skirt was frail and lonely. Her jade neck muscles were like snow, and her fingers dyed red were slender and clasped together. She bowed and bowed, and her movements were charming.

Xu Yi nodded, looking at her neck, it was a perfect candidate for acupuncture.

Cough cough cough -

he hid the look in his eyes and asked Ah Jin to take people to see Mian'e.

When Wan'er changed into plain clothes, she took off the bright red hairpin from her head, held hands with Mian'e, and came to thank Xu Yi.

Xu Yi didn't let them really kneel down, which was a bit of a loss of life for him.

He asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

Wan'er smiled and said: "We want to leave Fuzhou and find a place where we are not known."

Xu Yi frowned: "You are weak and the other is traveling. It's not safe, but have you thought of a good solution?"

Wan'er shook her head. They had lived in the building for so many years and actually knew very little about the outside world.

Now this idea is a fantasy to them.

"You are so good-looking, I'm afraid you will be in danger if you meet a bad person." Yan Quyue looked at Wan'er and then at Mian'e, a little confused, "But if you stay in Fuzhou, the madam will not let you go." "

Wan'er took a deep breath: "No matter how difficult it is, Mian'e and I can't go back to the building. Even if life or death is uncertain, we would rather die than surrender." When

the words came out, Xu Yi and Yan Quyue frowned. Come.

Xu Yi was silent for a while, thinking of a medicinal material: "Maybe we can start by changing the skin color. There is a medicine called safflower, which naturally contains pigments. You can soak the safflower in water and apply its color on the skin every day. Apply it several times and the color will adhere to the skin. "

The natural yellow pigment carried by the safflower is not easy to fade. As long as you don't wash and bathe, the pigment can stay on the surface for many days.

In his opinion, this method is fairly reliable.

When they find a good caravan in the city and follow the merchants, they can completely escape from this prison.
