Chapter 57: Sutra Library
"The master is not in the medicine pavilion, but in the Sutra Pavilion."
Thinking about what Rong Qi had said to him before entering the Sutra Library, Rong Xing could only droop his eyelids and said unhappily:
"Come with me to the Sutra Library."
I really don't know what's going on with the master.
Not only did he go to the Liangcheng prefecture to assist her in seeing patients in Liangcheng, he even allowed this little girl to enter the Sutra Library!
Even he couldn't enter the Sutra Repository at will, so how could Gu Feixue enter?
Of course, he only said this in his heart, and Rong Xing didn't dare to question it in front of Rong Qi.
After all, Rong Qi appeared to be indifferent to everything in the world, but Rong Xing knew his character. Once he made up his mind, no one else could possibly sway him.
"Tsk, just go."
Gu Feixue was naturally unhappy with Rong Xing's attitude.
During this period of time, Rong Xing had been very obedient while treating the wounded. She wondered why he had stopped causing trouble.
It turns out that Rong Xing was just pretending to be good in front of Rong Qi, but he became a different person when he was in front of me, huh!
Rong Xing took Gu Feixue out of the medicine pavilion, walked along the winding stone steps, passed through the cascading waterfalls, birdsong and flower gardens, and finally arrived at a building with the words "Scripture Repository" written on it.
The layout of such pavilions and towers is even more elegant and magnificent than the Suzhou gardens I saw in my previous life.
How was this built? It can't be a natural building.
"The master is inside, please go in by yourself."
He sensed the anger in his words, and the longing in Rong Xing's eyes when he looked towards the Sutra Repository.
Gu Feixue was instantly amused. It turned out that he envied her for being able to enter the Sutra Repository!
As a result, Gu Feixue's expression became even more proud, and she walked into the Sutra Library with a swagger.
Finally, he did not forget to close the door, blocking Rong Xing's longing sight.
"Ahem, Rong Qi, are you there?"
After entering the Sutra Repository, wow, this place is even more exaggerated than the Medicine Pavilion!
The first floor of the medicine pavilion is full of medicinal herbs, and the scripture pavilion is full of books!
There were paper books arranged in categories, scrolls carved from bamboo, red lacquer stone books carved from stone slabs, and even books carved from wood boards...
This is too exaggerated!
After waiting for a long time and hearing no response from Rong Qi, Gu Feixue could only search in the sea of books by herself.
After searching for a quarter of an hour, Gu Feixue finally found Rong Qi in the corner, who was reading a scroll of bamboo slips intently.
Although she felt a little helpless, Gu Feixue couldn't help but admire him. No wonder he was a miracle doctor.
"Miss Gu is here? Sorry, I was lost in thought."
Gu Feixue waved her hand and sat next to Rong Qi with a hint of doubt on her face.
"Why did you allow me to come to this Sutra Library?"
Unexpectedly, Rong Qi marked the bamboo slips, placed them on the ground, and then stood up and said with a smile:
"Miss Gu, you are here to ask me about medical matters, right?"
Gu Feixue choked. How did he know?
Seeing the man stand up and prepare to leave, Gu Feixue quickly stood up and followed:
"How did you find out? Yes, I came here to ask you if there are any herbs suitable for cultivation. I plan to plant some and make money."
Following Rong Qi through the sea of books again, Gu Feixue saw them stop in front of a bookshelf.
"These should be able to answer your questions, but please forgive me for being so long-winded." Rong Qi looked at the bookshelf and said in a calm tone:
"If Miss Gu wants to grow herbs, she must first understand their characteristics and medicinal properties. Otherwise, even if she grows them, they may not survive due to the incompatibility of the herbs with the local climate, or because she is not well versed in pharmacology, the people in the pharmacy may lower her prices."
When Gu Feixue heard this, she immediately felt that what Rong Qi said made sense.
"So do I need to learn pharmacology from scratch, and then find the right herbs to plant in my fields?"
Rong Qi smiled, and his gentle look almost stunned Gu Feixue.
"Yes, if Miss Gu doesn't mind the trouble, it should be so."
Whether it was troublesome or not, Gu Feixue felt that money was more important.
Since knowing these things would help the survival rate of the herbs and sell them for a good price later, she was naturally willing to do her homework.
"No trouble, no trouble. Can I start with these books?"
Rong Qi nodded, then added an oil lamp for Gu Feixue.
Gu Feixue was not shy when she heard this. She sat cross-legged on the ground and said:
"Thank you, Doctor Rong, for providing these books. You don't have to worry about me. I'll read here for a while and then go back. I'll come and bother you when I have time in the future. I hope Doctor Rong will forgive me."
As she spoke, she took out a copy of Compendium of Materia Medica from the bookshelf. Fortunately, she knew the characters, so she started with this one.
But Rong Qi's tone was still calm: "No problem, Miss Gu, there's no need to be so formal."
Outside the Sutra Repository.
Rong Xing looked at the lights in the Sutra Library, then looked at Rong Qi who was standing aside with a thoughtful look on his face. His tone was not without bitterness:
"Master, why did you allow her to go in and see?"
What answered him was Rong Qi's unquestionable words:
"Rong Xing, although you are talented and have excellent understanding, your character needs to be tempered. Now is not the time to teach you medical skills."
Rong Xing felt discouraged when he heard this. His master kept repeating the same thing over and over again. He thought he was quite calm and composed.
"Gu Feixue, she's even more unruly and perverse than I am. How did she manage to inherit the Rong family's true teachings?"
Rong Qi smiled faintly, and a hint of subtle interest flashed in his eyes as he looked towards the Sutra Library:
"From now on, when you look at things, you must see the essence through the surface. Miss Gu is not a person with impetuous thoughts, she just behaves in this way."
When Rong Xing heard this, he was stunned. Did his master mean that Gu Feixue was pretending to be like this?
Gu Feixue in the Sutra Library had no idea that the two people outside the door thought this way about her.
"Cuiyuncao clears heat and dampness, detoxifies, cools blood and stops bleeding. It is used for damp-heat jaundice, dysentery, edema, and rheumatic pain. It can be used externally to treat traumatic bleeding, burns from water or fire, and boils."
So that's why. No wonder Rong Qi asked her to prescribe this medicine for the patient infected with the plague last time.
The patient's complexion is orange and his joints are swollen, which appear to be symptoms of damp-heat jaundice and rheumatism. This medicine is just the right one to prescribe.
Although Gu Feixue followed Rong Qi to practice medicine during this period, she only learned the basics, such as what symptoms and corresponding diseases they were.
However, little is known about what herbal remedies to use for these symptoms.
After seeing the appearance of the Cuiyun Grass in the book, she happened to have seen it in Ruyi Mountain. If she had known that it could cure so many diseases, she would definitely pick some and sell it to the pharmacy.
Centipede grass, the dried whole plant is used as medicine, externally for treating centipede bites, scabies, and nameless swellings...
This is a good idea. There were many insects in ancient times, and there were no modern mosquito repellents.
When the Gu family was in exile, everyone was bitten here and there. Although the toxicity was relatively low, it was annoying if there were too many of them.
Soon, an hour passed, and although Gu Feixue was reading with great interest, she had to go back.
After all, the Gu family will wake up in an hour.
When Gu Sang was asleep, she couldn't be woken up even by thunder, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to Taoyuan.
