Lu Dynasty

Chapter 191
The young man I met at the gate of the palace turned out to be Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing who came to take office, which made me extremely happy.Medical skills and science were not valued in ancient China.As the saying goes: everything is inferior, only reading is high.Even Zhang Ji, who became a medical saint by later generations, was once forced by his father to study and become an official.Zhang Ji lived up to his father's hope and became the prefect of Changsha.But what puzzled Zhang Ji was that the imperial court ordered him to go to Beijing as an imperial doctor.It is very unreasonable to ask a prefect of the imperial court to be an imperial doctor, and generally those who are imperial doctors take the initiative to go for the assessment, and I have never heard of anyone directly appointed by the imperial court.

Zhang Ji came to Luoyang full of doubts, but Emperor Ling died without waiting for Zhang Ji's arrival.Then there was chaos in Luoyang, and even the emperor disappeared.Zhang Ji waited until Dong Zhuo had stabilized the court before he came to inquire about his own affairs. This was also because his money was about to run out.Originally, the money brought by Zhang Ji and the salary he gave were enough, but after the death of Emperor Ling, Luoyang is still quite unstable, and prices are soaring.In addition, Zhang Ji couldn't bear seeing the civilians getting sick, and with the burden of a middle-aged man, in desperation, he had no choice but to come to the palace to try his luck, to see if he could know the court's arrangement for him.Facts have proved that his luck is very good!Zhang Ji met me, even if the court didn't make arrangements for him, I did.

I asked very strangely: "Brother Zhongjing, why didn't you go to Dong Xiang's mansion to inquire about it? Now the government is in the hands of Dong Xiang. If Zhongjing brother goes there, there must be a result!"

Zhang Ji sighed and said, "How can I not go to Dong Xiang to ask? But the concierge heard that I was just an imperial doctor who came to take office, and he didn't even notify me, so he expelled me. He said that Dong Xiang was busy with work. No time to see me, a little imperial doctor!"

Thinking about it, Dong Zhuo is now busy fighting for power and messing up the harem, how can he have time to deal with the new imperial doctor.Even if Dong Zhuo went to the imperial doctor, he still asked for an aphrodisiac!see a doctor?Dong Zhuo's health should not be too good, I heard that he has not had any illness in the past few decades.Except of course pretending to be sick!
I smiled and said, "Brother Zhongjing! And this big brother! Since there is no result, why don't you come and sit with me!"

Zhang Ji and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and the middle-aged man said, "I won't go, there are still patients in the inn who need to be taken care of!"

"Hey!" Zhang Ji said helplessly, "Don't worry too much. I will do my best to help your son's illness! What I'm worried about is that we won't even have the money for accommodation soon. How can we buy it for your son?" Those precious medicines will last your life! Originally, I thought, since I came to Luoyang to be an imperial doctor, there are so many medical books and medicines in the palace, I can always do something for your son’s illness, but it’s a pity that things are not as expected! Say Wake up, I'm still thinking about it incorrectly!"

The middle-aged man said: "Master Zhang is willing to condescend to treat my son, I am already very grateful. If so, my son will go anyway, I can only blame my son for his bad luck! Master Zhang don't blame yourself, if it is really impossible to maintain , I..." The eyes of the middle-aged man turned red as he spoke.well!Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, who will see filial sons and grandchildren?

"Brother Zhongjing!" I said with a smile, "Since that's the case, brother Zhongjing might as well move to live with me. I also have a restaurant and inn under my name. If Brother Zhongjing doesn't give up, I will move to my place. This elder brother will also come along with me." Let's move!"

Zhang Ji said: "Thank you, Brother Ba Xian, for your kindness, but we are so shy that we really don't have any money left!"

"Since I asked Brother Zhongjing to live, I will not accept the rent from Brother Zhongjing!" I said with a smile, "Actually, I have something to ask, but it is difficult to talk about it on this road, so I would like to ask Brother Zhongjing to condescend to go. Let me tell you about my poor house!" Ancient Chinese literati had a lot of backbone, if you asked Zhang Ji to live and eat for free, Zhang Ji would probably tell you: A gentleman does not eat what he comes for!Also think you look down on him.I said that if I had any inquiries, Zhang Ji was willing to go to my place.He really helped me solve the matter, and he just stayed with me.

To be honest, I am almost 25 this year.Gao Rui has been with me since I was seventeen or eighteen, and Cai Yan has been with me for several years.But none of their stomachs moved, which made the two little girls very anxious.Since Zhang Ning came, both Cai Yan and Gao Rui urged me to adopt her, so as to have a boy and a half girl.But I am afraid that I am a sequelae of time travel, so it is difficult for children.Now that Zhang Ji has arrived, let me do a checkup first, and then clean up the remaining poison of Guo Jia and the others.Then I tried to get Zhang Ji to join me to do medical research.Anyway, during the war, there were a lot of dead people, so it seems not too much to get some corpses of the enemy to do human medical research for Zhang Ji.

In this way, Zhang Ji and the middle-aged man were fooled by me to Jimin Restaurant.Zhang Ji looked at Jimin Restaurant and said, "Brother Ba is the owner of Jimin Restaurant. I've heard of Brother Ba for a long time. Today I saw him and he really looks extraordinary."

I laughed and said: "Brother Zhongjing is so good, let's talk in the private room!" After saying this, I brought Zhang Ji and the middle-aged man to the private room.I just wanted the shopkeeper to arrange a place for Zhang Ji and the middle-aged man. Zhang Ji said: "Please tell me what you need first, sir, and then arrange a place for me. Otherwise, I feel very uneasy. If I can't do it for you, sir Solve the problem, what kind of face do I have to live here?"

I gave up my seat to Zhang Ji and asked Xiao Er to serve some tea.I said to Zhang Ji: "Brother Zhongjing is proficient in medicine, I wonder if he can get rid of the toxins accumulated by mistakenly eating elixir?"

"I can't guarantee this, it depends on the specific situation! However, most of the erysipelas can be cured." Zhang Ji said: "It's better to invite the brother who took the elixir by mistake to come out, and I will diagnose him. Only in this way can it be determined whether the toxins in his body can be eliminated."

"I didn't know that brother Zhongjing was in the capital, and I didn't expect to meet brother Zhongjing today, so my brother is still in Chang'an. Wait until I write a letter to ask them to come, okay?" I want to ask Brother Zhongjing about something, but it’s hard to say, I wonder if the big brother brought by Brother Zhongjing can avoid it for a while?” The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji nodded to him, and he went out up.

"Brother Zhongjing, I am 25 years old this year. My concubine has been with me since I was a child. I have been married for several years now. But I have never had any children. I will ask Brother Zhongjing to diagnose me. What do you think, Brother Jing?" I asked with a smile.

Zhang Ji said: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. Brother Ba Xian, don't worry about it, please stretch out your right hand!" I stretched out my hand to check Zhang Ji's pulse, Zhang Ji squinted his eyes, and after a long while said: "Brother Ba Xian's pulse It is stable and powerful, but there are some small flaws in it. I have a golden needle technique, supplemented by medicine and food, and it will definitely solve the worries of the elder brother Ba!"
