Chapter 255

The second wife of the Huo family, Mrs. Cui, was born in a philistine. When she married the second master of the Huo family, he had not yet become a lieutenant, but was only a seventh-rank official.

Cui's natal family was rich and had a large business in Lin'an Mansion. Carloads of gold, silver and jewelry were often sent to Huo Mansion for honor.

Therefore, although Mrs. Cui's status in the Huo family is low, she lives a more comfortable life than the ladies in other houses.

Everything in the yard is of the best quality. Not only are there all kinds of exotic flowers in the yard, but the furnishings in the house are also luxurious and elegant. Xu Yi stepped in and was blinded by the mahogany inlaid with shells and gold silk painted landscape color screen.

The mother who was leading the way led Xu Yi through the screen without stopping.

Ms. Cui sat on the cushion, playing with the white porcelain incense burner from Jiexiu kiln in front of her. When she saw someone coming, she threw the remaining spices in her hand into the burner and greeted him with a smile on her face: "Mr. Xu is here, hurry up." , take a seat."

When Xu Yi sat on the stool brought by her mother, Mrs. Cui excitedly told her, "Hurry up and get the snow buds this spring." She

looked at Xu Yi with a smile. , Concerned that he is getting used to living in Huo Mansion these days.

She was well-maintained and looked to be a few years older than Xu Yi. She also had a rosy smile and did not look like a sick person.

Concerned, she finally got to the point: "I invite Mr. Xu here today because I heard that he has excellent medical skills, but I have an unscrupulous request to ask Mr. Xu."

Xu Yi said calmly: "Mrs. Cui just said it's okay. Ms. Cui

glanced at him and asked without confidence, "Mr. Xu, does he know if there is any 'smart medicine' in this world?"

Xu Yi pondered after hearing these intriguing words.

When Mrs. Cui saw that he was silent, she couldn't bear her temper and took the initiative to bring up the matter.

"To be honest, my brother Xu doesn't like to read. He gets a headache and feels sleepy when he sees books. At first I thought he was trying to coax me, but later I found out that he gets flustered whenever he thinks about things with his mind."

"It turns out that the second master said I don't believe that he is stupid. This child was very smart when he was a child. He must have been knocked away by something. I also went to pray to God and offer incense, but the effect was very little."

Mrs. Cui also felt sorry for this brother. Worryingly, Huo Yuqing from the eldest house is a good scholar and passed the imperial examination at a young age. Her brother is eighteen this year, but he can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics.

As time went by, there were unpleasant rumors in Huo's house, saying that he had married a philistine woman and replaced his smart head with a stupid one.

Ms. Cui had spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years, and she only thought of Xu Yi when she was desperate.

"If there is any smart medicine, please give it to Mr. Xu, and I will pay tens of thousands of yuan for diagnosis."

Xu Yi: "..."

It is understandable that Mr. Cui would be deceived for so many years by exchanging tens of thousands of yuan for smart medicine. Original.

He wanted to say that there was no such medicine in the world.

At this moment, he saw Cui's eyes full of expectation as she looked at him.

Xu Yi silently swallowed back the unsaid words and changed his words: "There is indeed a prescription in this world that can make people 'smarter', but it depends on your son's condition."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui said with bright eyes: "Mr. Xu Say it quickly!"

Xu Yi Langruo raised his eyebrows and did not become impatient because of her urging. Instead, he asked, "Mrs. Cui, is your son in the house?"

"Yes," Mrs. Cui said, "he was going to the academy today. But if you have a stomachache, just rest at home. "

Huo Yuxuan was worried about having a stomachache now, so she asked the housekeeper to get the medicine. It was different from the digestion soup prepared in the house. It came in the form of pills. After taking it, the stomach pain was gone. Very good.

She originally wanted to ask the housekeeper where the pills came from. If she was a good doctor, she could invite him to the hospital.

Good doctors are hard to find, so she wants to start from a new direction so that her son can become smarter.

But before the doctor could be found, Cui first set her sights on Xu Yi.

Mrs. Cui sent someone to invite Huo Yuxuan, and after a while, the person came slowly.

As soon as he entered the door, the voice rang first: "I was lying down and almost fell asleep. Why did mother suddenly call me? What's the matter..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yuxuan saw a strange young man in the room.

Looking at the young man's dress, he quickly thought of who he was: "Are you Mr. Xu?"

Xu Yi stood up and said, "It's me."

Huo Yuxuan stared at him in confusion: "What are you doing here?

" Mother invited him here." Mrs. Cui glanced at her son and waved him to sit next to her. "Mother thinks you are always in low spirits and wants to ask Mr. Xu to come and take a look at you."

Huo Yuxuan was instantly disgusted when she heard this . He frowned and said unhappily: "Mom, why did you invite people here again?"

"It's my fault. I was deceived a lot before, but this time Mr. Xu is different. He showed it to your second brother." Your second brother is almost healed of his injuries." Ms. Cui comforted him softly.

Huo Yuxuan pouted and refused to listen.

His situation is the same as that of his second brother.

The second brother was stabbed in the abdomen and was treated for external injuries.

But his mother wanted to find some smart medicine for him! ! ! There are no smart medicines in the world, so his mother only believes them to be true.

"Mom, there's definitely nothing Mr. Xu can do, so don't think about it anymore." Huo Yuxuan blinked hard at Xu Yi and asked, "Mr. Xu, please come and persuade my mother. How can I give you any magic medicine?" People become smarter."

Xu Yi didn't follow his words: "Yes."

Huo Yuxuan: "Look, Mr. Xu said...ah, what?" He suddenly reacted, as if he heard it.

Xu Yi said: "There is a formula in "Qianjin Prescription" that can nourish the kidneys and improve intelligence. Regular consumption can make people smart."

Huo Yuxuan: "..." No, are you serious?

Xu Yi looked at his reaction and continued: "But the prescription varies from person to person. Whether it is suitable to take depends on whether it is the right medicine."

"Can I drink it?" Huo Yuxuan stared at him closely, her tone wavering.

Xu Yi didn't answer him.

He just said that he needed to check his pulse first.

How easy it is to diagnose the pulse, just reach out and take a look. Huo Yuxuan didn't think much and said directly, "Mr. Xu, come and see if I can drink this Cong... prescription?"

"Yes. Please reach out," Xu Yi said.

Ancient scholars often took the beneficial prescriptions, among which the more famous ones are Polygala Decoction and Kong Sheng Zhong Dan.

Polygala Decoction comes from "Shengji Zonglu". In addition to Polygala and Acorus, these two herbs are the only ones in it. In addition, medicinal materials can be added or subtracted according to the situation. It can open the heart, open the nine orifices, cure heartache, and enhance memory. [Note 1] Not everyone can drink this medicinal soup.

After all, it is a three-point poison, and drinking too much medicine is not good.

Huo Yuxuan looked at him and asked, "What can you see?"

Xu Yi's brows furrowed. Seeing the question, he slightly retracted the fingertips on his wrist, but didn't really take them back. He looked directly at him and asked, "On weekdays, Do you sometimes feel palpitation and panic when nothing happens?

"...Yeah." Huo Yuxuan nodded.

Xu Yi asked: "When the seasons change from spring to autumn, is there phlegm in the throat?"

The lazy look on Huo Yuxuan's face disappeared, she straightened her back and sat upright: "How do you know?"

"The pulse is coming." Xu Yi put his hand away. When he came back, his eyes slightly moved to his clothes, and he said clearly, "It's spring, but you have hot flashes. Wearing too many clothes makes you feel depressed, as if there's a lump in your throat."

Huo Yuxuan stood up suddenly: "... ...You, how do you know this?"

Mrs. Cui was also shocked and looked at Xu Yi: "Mr. Xu, what does this mean?"

Xu Yi said calmly: "Mrs. Cui, don't worry, your son is not in harmony with his heart. Caused by it, it can be taken."

After hearing this, the two of them were stunned and didn't respond for a while.

What I thought was bad news turned out to be good news?

"If my brother Xu takes this prescription, will he become smarter and be able to read?" Cui asked excitedly.

Xu Yi: "..."

That's not necessarily the case.

Whether you can read or not depends on the individual.

What he can provide is the physical condition to study. Once the body is well maintained, he will naturally have time to study later.

At this time, Huo Yuxuan still didn't know what the next days would be like.

He heard that drinking the prescription would make his mother worry less in the days to come, and she felt very happy.

Anyway, when Mr. Xu is in the house, he will not prescribe random recipes and cause problems for him.

"I'll give you a prescription first. You take it for ten days according to the prescription."

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he began to write the prescription for Huo Yuxuan.

In the "Outline of Various Symptoms", there is a prescription called "Zhuzi Dushu Pills", which contains not only polygala and calamus, but also ginseng, poria, tangerine peel, angelica and licorice. It can be boiled into medicinal soup or made into pills.

Whether it's a decoction or a pill, the effect is the same.

Xu Yi thought about it and planned to prescribe it as a pill so that it would be convenient to take after it is prepared.

Huo Yuxuan remained silent.

He didn't care whether it was soup or pills. His mother often got news from somewhere and would often make some weird soups for him.

Huo Yuxuan has long been accustomed to eating.

As much as his mother wanted her son to succeed, anything he said about not eating would make her sad.

Why bother? You might as well eat it early to save your mother from crying again.

Afterwards, Huo Yuxuan personally escorted Xu Yi out of the yard. When Yao's mother, who was watching them, returned, he secretly pulled off Xu Yi's sleeve.

Xu Yi glanced sideways at the young man who had not yet reached his crown.

"Do you have something to say?"

Huo Yuxuan said, "I was in the room just now because I was acting for my mother. Mr. Xu, is the pill you mentioned really useful?"

After hearing this, Xu Yi pondered for a moment before speaking. : "It's somewhat useful."

"Is it really useful?" Huo Yuxuan was a little stunned, followed by unconcealable excitement and excitement.

If taking the pill really makes people smarter, wouldn't it be feasible for everyone to take the imperial examination?

Hearing his thoughts, Xu Yi was speechless for a moment. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "This pill only helps you avoid headaches and panic when reading. As for whether you can read, it depends on whether you are diligent and studious."

Huo Yuxuan: "..."

I'm so happy.

...

Yunheju.

Huo Yu woke up and walked around with the help of his servant. When he lay back on the bed, he asked the servant: "I have been awake for so long, but I don't see Brother Xu coming. What is he busy with?"

The servant lowered his head and said: " Mr. Xu was invited by the second room, and he hasn't come back yet for half an hour.

"Huo Yuqing was confused and asked the servant who was sick in the second room. "

The servant hesitated for a moment and then said: "Second Master Yu, Mr. Xu, the second wife, is not sick. It's the second wife who is trying to find a way to show Master Xu's brain.

I dare not say anything wrong with the master, but the second wife's random behavior is not the same." I've been back twice. Last time I heard that I went to the Immortal Temple to ask for the magic medicine, but the Fifth Master Jiaoxuan had a bad stomach for several days and couldn't go to the academy."

As he spoke, the servant looked at his husband's gloominess. face.

I dare not continue talking any more.

Huo Yuqing's eyebrows were heavy and he couldn't tell what he was thinking just by looking at him.

The servant poured him warm tea worriedly. Huo Yuqing didn't touch the teacup, but just leaned on the soft couch, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, there was a slight movement outside.

Huo Yuqing's eyebrows moved slightly and he asked, "Who's back?"

The servant ran to take a look, and when he came back, his pace was obviously faster: "Second Master Yu, it's Mr. Xu who's back."

"Go and invite him." Huo Yuqing didn't even think about it. .

Xu Yi had just returned from the yard of the second room. Before he could go back to his room to rest, he was invited to go there again.

His head hurt, and he came to Huo Yuqing's room silently, waiting for him to speak in person.

"I heard that the second aunt asked you to see a doctor." Huo Yuqing considered it and said dullly, "If you feel unreasonable and uncomfortable living in Huo Mansion, I will tell my uncle and let him send you out of the house."

Xu Yi raised her eyes and looked at him: "It's okay."

Huo Yuqing held his breath for a moment.

Turning his head to look at Xu Yi, who was sitting calmly on the chair, Huo Yuqing asked belatedly, "Do you have a way to cure Brother Xu's problem of not liking to read?"

Xu Yi saw his strange expression and was immediately interested: "Do you think he is pretending? "

Huo Yuqing paused: "Isn't it?"

Xu Yi smiled when he heard this.

I silently sympathized with Huo Yuxuan in my heart for a second.
