Bystander

Chapter 24

Chu Yao nodded vigorously with a red face.

"Exactly, I'm hungry too, I'll take you to your room first, rest for a while, and then eat."

Chu Yao grinned widely, and nodded happily, like pounding garlic.

Seeing her funny look, the little brother couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed.

In fact, Chu Yao didn't want to rest at all, he just wanted to eat, lying on the bed like a puddle of mud, looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that the little brother would call her to eat, and fell asleep before she knew it. The name of the father-in-law sneaked into the imperial dining room, the table was full of gourmet delicacies, delicacies from mountains and seas, Chu Yao's saliva flowed like a river, Chu Yao rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a chicken leg with his left hand, and a pig's trotter with his right hand. It is stuffed with all kinds of pastries, and the eyes are still staring at the fish in front of it, but why can't we eat enough?Chu Yao gulped down the food, and suddenly smelled the scent, Chu Yao sniffed the smell as hard as a pig, and the mouth that was just vacated was still babbling.

"Girl, wake up, girl!"

Chu Yao suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a handsome face, clean and gentle, just like Jiang Jingtang, Chu Yao immediately sat up, rubbed his eyes and carefully identified the person in front of him, it really wasn't Jiang Jingtang, after thinking about it for 20 years Now, Jiang Jingtang should not be so young and handsome long ago. Thinking of Jiang Jingtang, Chu Yao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and his eyebrows drooped immediately.

"What's the matter? I made you rest? Are you exhausted?" the younger brother asked with concern.

Chu Yao shook his head.

"Then get up and eat, the food is ready." The little brother said.

As soon as Chu Yao heard that there was something to eat, he immediately "lived" and followed his brother to the front hall for dinner.

The food was not rich, two dishes and one soup, but the taste was excellent, Chu Yao devoured like a little wolf dog, his small body was stuffed with four bowls of rice, most of the food was eaten by Chu Yao.When he was full, Chu Yao patted his belly in satisfaction and hiccupped from time to time, not looking like a girl at all.

"Qiming, why are you eating at this time today?" Chu Yao heard the sound and looked around, and saw two women, one with a small oval face, almond eyes, and skin that could be broken by blows, but it looked purple against the background of the woman beside her. Pingping, that woman is bright and charming, she walks slowly, her voice is very charming, Chu Yao is dumbfounded, in the impression that Chu Yao has never seen such a beautiful person, this is the woman who spoke .

"Who is this girl?" The woman seemed to have just seen Chu Yao, looking towards Chu Yao and asked the younger brother.

"This is my newly recruited medicine apprentice, called..." The little brother suddenly remembered that he had never asked Chu Yao's name before. "What's your name?" The little brother asked.

Only then did Chu Yao slow down and write the word "Chu Yao" on the table with his hand dipped in tea.

"Her name is Chu Yao." The younger brother deliberately repeated it for the woman.

The woman frowned slightly, but quickly opened it up, and looked at the little brother with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of surprise.

"Well, she's dumb." The younger brother said while cleaning up the dishes.

"You know I don't mean that," said the woman.

"I've been too busy recently, like finding a pharmacist to do some simple work, so I can take a rest."

The woman held down the younger brother's hand, signaling him not to pick up the bowls and chopsticks again, "Let Luying come, I'm not feeling well recently, please feel my pulse."

The woman next to her immediately said, "Mr. Zheng, let me come. My young lady can't sleep well today, and she is very tired. Please show me, Mr. Zheng." Then she picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

It turns out that the younger brother's name is Zheng Qiming, Chu Yao thought in his heart.

Zheng Qiming didn't refuse, "Okay." After that, he made a gesture of invitation and led the woman to the consultation table.

Seeing that the girl was very beautiful, Chu Yao wanted to take a closer look, so she followed her, leaving Luying to clean up the table alone.

Standing behind Zheng Qiming, Chu Yao saw Zheng Qiming put the pulse pillow in front of the woman, and the woman put her wrist lightly on the pulse pillow. Only then did Chu Yao know what mutton fat jade jade is. Qiming's three fingers rested on the woman's pulse, and Zheng Qiming was also fair, but against the woman's leather, it also turned into yellowed burlap.

"The other hand." Zheng Qiming said.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I came here yesterday. I saw that your clinic is closed, but you go to the next village for outpatient visits?" the woman asked after changing her wrist.

"Well, I went to the mountains to collect herbs by the way." Zheng Qiming replied.

"Why do you need to go to the mountains to collect herbs yourself? There are wild beasts in the mountains. You are not a hunter, and you don't know how to fight. If you run into it, it will be dangerous. It's fine if you can't buy the herbs. I have the money." Inappropriate, he went on to say, "I can lend it to you. I know that you are usually kind and generous, and you only charge money for herbs from poor people."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss." Zheng Qiming replied politely.

"Qiming, why are you so polite to me? Just call me Qing Ge."

"Qingge." Zheng Qiming called out the woman's name slightly unfamiliarly.

The woman didn't think about these things, she only heard Zheng Qiming call out "Qing Ge" and then turned her head and secretly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Miss Qing Ge, your pulse condition is stable. I don't think there is anything wrong with the girl's body. I will prescribe the medicine to calm the nerves first. Take it back and try it. It should be fine. If you are worried, you can go to Take a look at another medical clinic." Zheng Qiming looked serious.

"Where is Qiming's words? How could I not believe you? No one knows that you are the best doctor in our town. Maybe it's because I've been too tired these days, which affected my sleep." Qing Ge said.

It was Lu Ying who also cleaned up the table and washed all the dishes diligently, walked behind Qing Ge and said, "Miss has been worried about Mr. Zheng these days, and you have not been in the hospital for a few days. "

"Green Warbler!" Qing Ge signaled Green Warbler not to talk too much.

"Miss Lao Qingge is worried," Zheng Qiming nodded his thanks, and then said, "Miss Luying, please come with me to get the medicine. You can come too." Zheng Qiming said to Chu Yao.

Chu Yao nodded, followed Zheng Qiming obediently, and came to the medicine cabinet. Zheng Qiming spread a piece of paper on the table, turned around to take the medicine, and said to Lu Ying, "Dragon Teeth three coins, Shichangpu one coin, water Decoction, instead of tea, but not too much."

Green Warbler nodded "Okay."

"Did you hear clearly?" Zheng Qiming asked Chu Yao, Chu Yao nodded, and Zheng Qiming continued, "It's a medicine that is three-point poisonous. Although the medicine can cure the disease, it will backfire if it is overdose. Some are similar in appearance, some have the same smell, and most of them have similar effects, but the matching prescriptions are not the same. killed a man, you know?"

Chu Yao nodded vigorously.

Zheng Qiming packed the medicine and handed it to Lu Ying, saying, "This is three days' worth. Let's see if your lady is getting better. If you still feel unwell, come and see."

"Well, yes, Mr. Zheng." Luying held the medicine in her hand, turned around and asked, "Miss, let's go back, if it's too late, mother will curse again."

Qing Ge stood up slowly and walked towards Zheng Qiming, "I'm sorry for your trouble today. It's getting late and I'll go back with Luying first, and I'll come back to bother you later." After a few consultations, Jin took Luying away.

"Miss Qing Ge, the consultation fee is too much." Zheng Qiming shouted at Qing Ge's back.

Qing Ge didn't seem to hear it, and had already gone away with the green warbler.

"It's really late today, you should rest early, and I will ask you to identify the medicinal materials tomorrow morning." Zheng Qiming said to Chu Yao.

Chu Yao yawned, it was really appropriate, he nodded to Zheng Qiming, turned around and went back to the room, perhaps because he had been guarding against the "old pervert" all day in the mansion of the "old pervert" for the past two days, and the strings were too tense. I was so tight, I didn't have a good rest, I suddenly relaxed today, I was so tired all of a sudden, I fell asleep very deeply, and when I woke up, it was already high in the sun.Chu Yao got up in a hurry, put the clothes on his body indiscriminately, and tied up his hair crookedly. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zheng Qiming, neatly dressed, drying herbs in the yard.

Seeing Chu Yao's appearance, Zheng Qiming still looked guilty, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "You're awake, I wanted to wake you up earlier, but I thought you should be exhausted, and the snoring was loud, so it's time to wake up." Didn't bother you."

Chu Yao blushed even more at Zheng Qiming's words.

"Wash your face and get ready to eat." Zheng Qiming dried the herbs, turned and returned to the front hall.

Chu Yao held his mouth shut, went back to his room and tidied up his outfit again.

After breakfast, Zheng Qiming began to give lessons to Chuyao, starting with Richang cooking medicine, "Medicine is different from medicine, and there are subtle differences in the method of cooking medicine. Some need to be slow. It can be boiled slowly, and some can be boiled on high heat. I will tell you slowly when you cook medicine in the future."

Chu Yao nodded.

"As for pharmacology," Zheng Qiming looked at Chu Yao, "Do you know how to read? When you thanked yourself for your name, you wrote well. You must have read poetry and books, right?"

Chu Yao nodded, and wrote with his fingers on Zheng Qiming's palm, "I have read books for several years, but I don't know much." In fact, the characters Chu Yao knows are enough for daily use. I'm dizzy, and the handwriting is good because Jiang Jingtang liked to write and draw. In order to better integrate into Jiang Jingtang's world, Chu Yao worked hard to practice calligraphy, trying his best to imitate Jiang Jingtang's handwriting.

"That's good. I have basic books on medicinal properties here. You read them first. If you don't understand, you can ask me at any time. I usually write prescriptions. You compare the medicinal materials on the prescriptions and store them in the medicine cabinet at the back according to the dosage. It’s not difficult to find and pack them together, but you must be careful with the medicine, the ingredients can’t be wrong, and the dosage can’t be wrong, human life is at stake!” Zheng Qiming had a serious face, and Chu Yao also had a serious face when he was taken. expression, nodding his head heavily.

Chu Yao is also suffering in her heart. If she doesn't talk about it, her head will be broken. Tomorrow, she will keep nodding and shaking her head. Chu Yao sometimes feels dizzy, but it is good for the cervical spine. Chu Yao's neck is very flexible now.
