Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21

What Xu Ziwen said was very meaningful, and Yan Ming couldn't help but ask: "According to what you mean, is there any other hidden story about the Wu family?"

"Yan Ming, Yan Ming, why don't you just change your name to Yan Buming!" Xu Ziwen gave him a gouged look, "Thanks to your father being the servant of the household department, you didn't even hear any news?"

Yan Minghe was too preoccupied with these matters, and his father's words always went in his left ear and out of his right ear, so he didn't keep a single word in his mind.

Xu Ziwen also knew that he could not be counted on, so he picked up a brewed Xinyang Maojian on the table, and poured it into his parched throat.

After drinking half a cup of boiled tea, the anger in my heart was slightly suppressed.Looking down, he felt that the cup in his hand really looked like Yan Ming's golden head, and it looked exquisite and beautiful, and he didn't know what year it was filled with herbal tea.

"Do you remember the county prince who was demoted to Yuanzhou in the past few years? As far as I know, Wu Yi's household registration is in the county prince's mansion. Think about it carefully."

Yan Ming tapped the empty head in embarrassment, but he couldn't make any sound, so he could only look at Xu Ziwen with a smirk, and asked him to make some more points.

Xu Ziwen wanted to make friends with him, so he couldn't get angry for a while, and he still smoothed out the joints with him with gentle words.

"According to the rules of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the documents of the old year were issued after the beginning of spring. If it wasn't for the person from Yuanzhou City to move the relationship for him, how could he get rid of the Wu family so quickly? A Poyang County King, an Eastern Palace Physician, Tell me, who is standing behind this kid?"

Only then did Yan Ming come to his senses: "Brother Xu means...but he is only a student from a mere place, how could he disturb the East Palace?"

"This is what people do." Xu Ziwen glanced at him coldly, "Do you still remember, Wu Xu said that he cured his blood disease with arsenic. Looking around, how many people are there in today's medical forest? Is it possible to have such a handwriting?...According to the rules of previous years, after this autumn, our group of students will be assigned to the names of doctors, if we can become brothers and sisters under Zhang Qiren's sect together with him, do we still worry about our future?"

Speaking of this, even Yumu's head has opened up.

After all, medicine is also a part of the imperial examination. There are many factions and relationships among them. Whoever you study under largely determines the student's position and team.The students who study under the same roof already have hidden influences and intertwined branches, and at this time, the choice of who to make friends with is to see people's eyes.

At present, the hottest person in the Imperial Medical Office, apart from Dr. Zheng Yun, the Imperial Physician who accompanied Luoyang to serve the Empress, is the Zhang Qiren faction who served the Eastern Palace.The rest of the imperial physicians who followed the princes and princesses, such as Chen Jiwen next to King Pei Lixian, Liu Ying next to King Zhou Lixian, and Dr. Shen Hanshan who looked after Princess Taiping, were also considered second-class celebrities.

As long as you can climb the ranks of these famous imperial physicians, your future will naturally be different. After seven or eight years of messing around in government schools, who is willing to let the high branches go?

"People who study medicine cherish their lives the most. I originally planned to give some tonics and I wouldn't go wrong. Who would have thought that the kid is very cunning and won't give me this face at all." Xu Ziwen looked at Yan Ming, who was with the old god, and couldn't help sighing "It's just that my family background is not as high as Wu Xu's, so he just doesn't like it—if I have a background like Brother Yan, I won't be disgusted by others, alas."

"Let's ignore this kind of villain who sees people ordering food!" Yan Ming didn't understand Xu Ziwen's implication at all, and even defended him, with a rather contemptuous face, "The road is facing the sky, walk on both sides, and we want to fight with this I also disdain such a person as a fellow apprentice."

……

Xu Ziwen couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching. He thought that Yan Ming, after all, was a son of an official from a famous family, so he should learn to judge the value of his eyesight. Now it seems that this idiot is really blind with a pair of round and bright eyes. Fancy but not useful!

He squeezed the pulsating blood vessels on the top of his forehead, and squeezed out a pale smile: "Brother Yan said...it's true, a small unbearable will lead to a big conspiracy, don't worry, my brother will definitely not miss you because of a momentary impulse a bright future."

Seeing that the blood on his face had turned pale, and his words were full of forbearance and grievances, Yan Ming's heroic and righteous blood of a northern man was immediately aroused to boil, and all rushed to his forehead.

He slapped the table angrily: "Having said that, he has bullied you, and you can't let him go on rampant."

Xu Ziwen didn't finish his sigh, he was so startled that he choked back into his throat, and after a while, he finally came to his senses: "...what's your advice, brother?"

Yan Ming got up and left his seat, and quietly attached Xu Ziwen's ear.

"After ten days, there will be a ten-day examination. I have already found out clearly. This time, the three articles of the "Huangdi Neijing", "Theory of the Six Sections of Zangxiang", "The Formation of the Five Viscera" and "The Different Theory of the Five Viscera" will be tested." Yan Ming He whispered, "Tomorrow I will secretly tear up these few chapters in his book, and see how he still revises the book."

Xu Ziwen didn't expect that this kid was not doing well, and there was a lot of bad things.

Yan Ming felt that this idea was "vicious": "This is called small punishment and big commandment, let him know his duty to be a human being!"

"No hurry, if he sues the doctor, we will be the ones who are unlucky, wouldn't it be in vain for him?" After all, Xu Ziwen was much more experienced than him, and he moved his eyes left and right, immediately thinking about it.

"you listen to me……"

The two teenagers put their ears together, and after talking about it in detail, they had already decided on a way to deal with Wu Yi.

-

In the early morning of this day, the sky had only scratched a small piece of light, and the students had already got up one after another, taking advantage of the faint morning light to steal a few moments of study time.

Those who can be selected here, even if they are not talented people with extraordinary talents, are definitely not reckless fools. Even honest young people like Yan Ming have some talents.

Here, Wu Yi really understood what is "learning is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat". As long as you are lazy for a moment, others will take advantage of the situation to surpass you by three points. If you slack for a day, you will be inferior to others.

Not to mention that doctors and masters have to try once every ten days, the competition between students and apprentices is going on almost all the time, before it is time to go to school, everyone has gathered together, shaking their heads and reciting medical classics.From time to time, someone would glance at the door to see the order in which everyone came, silently keeping a sense of proportion in their hearts, and then continue to study hard.

Wu Yi has been a medical monk for decades, and he has a little bit of experience in learning. Compared with these young people who are still impetuous and striving for strengths, he pays more attention to the steady and steady grasp of knowledge, and is not in a hurry to master medical knowledge. After going over and over again to memorize word for word, I first listed out the outline and summary along the title in a leisurely manner, and then picked out the key points, and sorted them out in volumes and books.

After sorting it out from the beginning to the end, I already have a general framework in my mind, and I am not like a headless chicken like other students, who only memorize what they see and do not know how to master it.

After a few days, although he seemed to be far behind other students, he knew it well and was not in a hurry. Even when the other students were still burning lights and fighting at night, he had already made up his bed and hooded his head. Sleep - instead of competing with sleepy people for time, it is better to keep your energy and save it for the next day.

Yan Ming covered his eyes with a brand-new medical classic, and quietly observed this "cruel-hearted" classmate. It was almost the end of the ten-day period that he slowly opened the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" that he had never memorized. On", I began to recite silently according to a list of chapters.

Taking advantage of Wu Yi's time to go to the bathroom, he sneaked a peek at the outline he had written. The words on it were written horizontally and vertically with a few strokes, and it was impossible to tell what words were written.

The modern simplified characters are far from the ancient traditional characters, not to mention the doctor's self-contained ghost-drawing characters. Not to mention Yan Ming, who was born and bred in the Tang Dynasty, even ordinary modern people may not be able to understand Wu Yi's illusory hand big characters.

Yan Ming was staring at Wu Yi's list in a daze, when a faint shadow suddenly cast in front of him.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?"

No matter which dynasty they are in, most of the fellow students who study medicine call each other "senior brothers and younger brothers", regardless of the relationship between relatives and distant people, everyone is the same hard-working person.

Yan Ming shook his hand, and looked at Wu Yi calmly: "I don't understand something, I want to invite my teacher and apprentice."

"Senior brother is too polite, and his qualifications are shallow, and he can't afford to ask for advice."

The two exchanged polite greetings before Yan Ming brought out the main text: "There is a section in "The Generation of the Five Viscera" that talks about the color and taste of the five viscera. I don't know what it means."

"...Brother." Wu Yi pointed to the book in his hand, "Your book seems to be the "Nan Jing" written by Mr. Bian Que."

Yan Ming looked down, and shouted in his heart that something was wrong, so he picked up a book as a cover, but he didn't expect Wu Yi to turn back halfway and bumped into him peeking at his things.

""Nan Jing"...isn't it "Huang Di 81 Nan Jing"?" The corner of his mouth twitched, forcing a smile, "I read "Nan Jing" and think of "Huang Di Nei Jing", can't I?"

Wu Yi made him laugh. He had long recognized that this was the young man who was traveling with Wu Xu and Xu Ziwen that day. At first he only thought that he was here to learn stealthily, but unexpectedly he was quite capable of pretending.

Compared with the resentful Wu Xu and the malicious Xu Ziwen, this guy is really cute and silly.

"Okay, brother. It's superficial to talk about the past and the present."

"That's right." Yan Ming was a little flattered by the praise, but he didn't expect this kid to be quite discerning, and he could see his level at a glance.

He laughed for a while, and then remembered that he was here to "not be ashamed to ask", and he must not expose his true talents and learning, so he quickly smoothed the smile and coughed twice.

"Don't worry about it so much, tell the brother about this paragraph first."
