Magical Medicine in ancient times

Chapter 177 Chapter Family

The weather that had been gloomy for several days finally cleared up, the sun was high in the sky, and I felt a little warm just looking at it.

"Doctor, my leg really hurts, please give me a few needles quickly, ouch..." The old man put one leg on the stool, wrinkled his face and complained incessantly.

Shang Gui bent over, raised his finger and tapped on his leg, causing the old man to frown even more, hissing and gasping.

"It's rheumatic bone disease. The weather is wet and cold, and the leg bones can't stand it anymore. Don't worry, I'll give you a few needles and bring you some plaster. You can take it home and apply it, and it will also relieve it."

"Come with me!" Shang Gui got up, went out directly through the small door on the right side of the counter, and went straight to the next curtain.

The old man nodded repeatedly with a bitter face, got up and followed without saying a word, leaving only the long line behind him waiting to see through.

Today is a rare sunny day, so there are more people in the hospital.It was much busier than the previous few days, and the only two doctors in the clinic were sitting behind the counter.There were two long lines in front of the counter.

Although the doctor on Shang Gui's side left, the crowd behind did not change teams. After all, there was a long queue next to him, and Doctor Shang Gui could come back as soon as he finished giving the needles, and it wouldn't be long.

Sure enough, after a while, Dr. Shang Gui came out from behind the curtain and sat back behind the counter. He smiled slightly at the patients in line: "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long."

"No, Doctor Shang is being polite!"

"You are busy and you are busy, we can all wait..."

……

Shang Gui nodded, looked at the grandma in front of him and said, "Please extend your hand."

Grandma hastily stretched out a black hesitation hand, and lifted up the sleeve, revealing a bony wrist.

Shang Gui pressed his fingertips up, beeping his pulse carefully.

Although there are many people in the clinic, it is not crowded and noisy.

There was an information desk at the wide gate, and a boy with a round face was sitting there with a smile on his lips and bright eyes.Scanning the flow of people coming and going one by one, as long as you find someone who is hesitant, you will be very enthusiastic and ask for help.

There is a ten-meter-long counter in the middle of the lobby. There are three men sitting behind it. The man in the middle has a neatly combed jaw and beard. He is about forty, and the two on the left and right are slightly younger, about [-] or so.

The three men were busy, their abacus was rattling, and there were three lines in front of the counter, each with a prescription in their hand.

"It's a total of six taels of money. You have been prescribed this medicine for half a month, twice a day. Remember to take it every day. The doctor should have said it just now, right?" The man on the left raised his head and said to the boy in front of him. .

The young man nodded hurriedly, took out a money bag from his pocket, counted out the money, and put it on the counter.

"Uncle Cheng, I remember it all! My master can't stop taking this medicine. I've been here for ten days and a half months, so I can't remember it."

Uncle Cheng put away the silver and opened the drawer under his body, and there was a clanging sound inside. There were already a lot of silver and copper coins in the drawer, stacked together in a mess.He threw the silver in, pushed the drawer in neatly, and closed it.

"I should be reminded. I still need to be reminded. You kid, didn't you just forget the medicine when you came back last time? You have to come over to ask again." Uncle Cheng muttered, picked up the seal beside him and made a "snap" Covered on the word "ci" in the lower right corner.A bright "Zhou's Medical Center" four large characters are printed on this prescription.

The word "ci" is also exquisite, representing the doctor who prescribes the medicine. "Compassion" means that this is a prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhou Cixin, and if the word "Shang" is written in the lower right corner, it means that it is Dr. Shang Gui.

I heard from the two doctors that this was stipulated by the owner of the clinic, Doctor Zhou, and that the doctors would get a commission for every prescription they prescribed.

And this commission is not low, there are ten points of commission.In addition to the commission, there is also a fixed salary every month, which is really enviable to others.

They have to settle the accounts at the end of every month, and the monthly commissions of the two doctors alone are immeasurable.

But although they are envious, they will not be jealous.After all, the doctors are highly skilled in medicine and are the pillars of the medical clinic, so it is clear that they get this salary.What's more, their wages are not low.The higher the doctor's commission, it means that the business of the medical clinic is good, and the more their wages will be.

In order to work in the medical clinic, they put all their lives to compete for the assessment, and I don't know how many people are jealous.Right now, I don't know how many people are staring at their position!Really careless.

Immediately, a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose from the stamped prescription.This fragrance is the unique secret recipe of Zhou's Medical Center. The fragrance is peculiar and enduring, and no one can imitate it.

"Okay." Uncle Cheng handed the stamped prescription to the young man, "Take it to the next door to grab the medicine."

The young man hurriedly took the prescription, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng, I'll go then." After speaking, he took the prescription and hurried to the next door, the time was waiting for no one, and there would be a long queue to visit Zhou's Medical Center, he thought Secretly regretting, if he had known that there were so many people today, he should have come here a few days ago. Although it was snowing, it was better than queuing repeatedly.

When I came to the nearby Zhou's Medical Center, I saw a crowd of people inside, one by one came out of the gate carrying medicine bags, and some rushed to get together with prescriptions.

It seemed that waiting was indispensable again. The young man saw a man coming with a prescription, so he hurried forward and stood at the end of the line, just in front of the man.

"Finally the sun came out!"

Zhou Jin sighed, and walked down the street holding No. 01's little hand.

It was almost the end of the new year, and today was another rare sunny day. Under the slightly warm sun, crowds of people coming and going rubbed their shoulders.There is an endless stream of vendors shouting on the streets and alleys.

There are all kinds of New Year's goods on the stalls, which are dazzling and festive.The shops facing the street are already plastered with red couplets, and all kinds of red lanterns are slightly rippling against the cold wind.

This familiar yet unfamiliar scene actually made him feel as if he had passed away.

Zhou Jin was wearing a thick fur cape with a hood on his head, covering most of his face.Just walking on the street like this, no one recognized him.

He was also happy and relaxed, admiring all the way, while leading No. 01 to the medical clinic.But not long after he left, No. 01 let go of Zhou Jin's hand suddenly, and ran towards the road next to him.

Zhou Jin was taken aback, "Why are you going?"

"Ajin, go back by yourself first, I'm going to eat something delicious!"

The voice of No. 01 was quickly drowned in the boiling crowd. Zhou Jin watched his disappearing back from a distance, and laughed in his heart. This guy, probably went to that roast duck restaurant!It's rare that he still loves her for so long.

Zhou Jin shook his head, so he had no choice but to go back first.Before seeing the gate of Zhou's Medical Center, the familiar long dragon jumped into his eyes.Looking from a distance, although there are many people in the medical center, everyone is still polite, and there is no crowded and noisy situation.

Zhou Jin's heart suddenly jumped. He stood behind the flow of people and looked up at the solid wooden door plaque engraved with the four characters "Zhou's Medical Center".Standing next to him is the "diagnosis hall".

However, he had only been away for more than two months, and he felt as if he had been away for a long time.

He bypassed the long queue and walked into the gate from the side. The layout of the medical hall was not much different from before he left, except that there were four guys standing behind the huge counter.

One of them is Xiao Qi, he is much more mature and stable than before, and he seems to be in charge of things.The other three next to him were about twenty or thirty years old.They all looked older than Xiao Qi.

They were all nimble, busy going back and forth between the medicine cabinets behind them, holding a small medicine scale in their hands, staring at the scale scale with their eyes, very bright and energetic.

Zhou Jin only looked at it for a while, and he was very satisfied in his heart. It can be seen that these people are hardworking and straightforward people.During his absence, Shang Gui and A Ci also managed the clinic in an orderly manner.

In this way, he felt relieved.

Here Zhou Jin was wandering slowly in the medical hall, while the patients beside him were looking at him carefully.

His white-bottomed robe was embroidered with gold thread and red patterns, and at the end of the robe was a mass of crabapple flowers in full bloom. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was of high quality and expensive.

The people in the town who can afford to wear this kind of material are all famous. Even if everyone can't recognize their names, they can recognize their faces.

Looking left and right like Zhou Jin, and refusing to line up to get the medicine, everyone guessed in their hearts that maybe this is another young man who came to seek medical treatment.Just looking at the door plaque of "Zhou's Medical Center" at the door, I walked in. I didn't know that this place only took medicine and didn't see a doctor.

It's not my fault that they think so, but there are too many people who come here because of fame, and there are often people who come from thousands of miles to seek medical treatment from Dr. Zhou.They have long been familiar with it.

"Is this son here to seek medical treatment?"

Zhou Jin was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was talking to him.He turned around and saw an old man squinting at him, "If you want to see a doctor, you have to go to the next door, this place is only for medicine!"

"My uncle is right, you have to go to the clinic next door. The doctors are all over there!"

"The weather is fine today, and there are quite a lot of people seeing the doctor. You may have to wait in a long queue now."

"Yes, young man, where did you come from? Have you found a place to live? You still have to settle down first, otherwise it will be dark when you line up to get the medicine..."

Before Zhou Jin had time to speak, everyone started to talk about each other, giving directions and suggestions, and they were very enthusiastic.

He suddenly became happy in his heart, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.All the depression in the palace was thrown away.Sure enough, their Ganjiu Town has a simple and honest folk style. Look, how lovely these ordinary people are!

Seeing that he didn't speak, everyone said again: "Did you come to see Dr. Zhou?"

"That's a coincidence. Doctor Zhou has gone to the capital and hasn't come back yet! It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm afraid it's a waste of time."

"It's not in vain. Doctor Shang and Doctor A Ci are also good. They are the direct disciples of Doctor Zhou! You are here anyway, so it doesn't hurt to ask them to have a look. Isn't it?"

Zhou Jin laughed softly: "Thank you folks, I won't look for Dr. Zhou, I'll go to Dr. Shang and the others."

Seeing that he was easy to talk, everyone laughed and echoed one by one: "That's right! Doctor Shang and the others are not bad, you just go and have a look and you'll know! We won't lie to you."

Zhou Jin nodded, and looked at Xiao Qi and the others. The three of them were so busy that they couldn't spare their hands.He didn't bother them in the past, thanked everyone, then turned around and left the gate, and went to the next door.

In his busy schedule, Xiao Qi glanced at Zhou Jin, just in time to see the back of him leaving, and under the swaying robe, he felt that this back was somewhat familiar.But before he could figure anything out, he immediately got busy again.

He had already noticed the movement on the side just now.It's just that he couldn't leave because he was too busy, and the people had spontaneously made it clear for the other party, so he didn't go over to say hello.

The clinic is a bit busier than the medical clinic. Some patients are crying bitterly, and some are silent. In short, all kinds of life can be seen here.

As soon as he stepped in, before he saw a familiar figure, he was stopped by someone, "Sir, who are you looking for? You need to see a doctor?"

The voice is clear and full of vigor.

Zhou Jin turned his head, and saw a boy with a round face and piercing eyes staring at him with joy.

"Uh... I'm looking for a merchant..."

"You're looking for Doctor Shang!" The young man's eyes lit up, and he ran over after a few steps, his eyes swept across Zhou Jin's body like a searchlight, "What's wrong with you? Let me tell you, you come to our Zhou family The hospital is the right place! The doctors in our hospital are the most famous in a hundred miles! No matter what you feel uncomfortable, as long as our doctor shows you, we will take care of you and heal you!"

Zhou Jin froze for a moment, then frowned slightly, this was too much to say!When it comes to curing diseases and saving lives, we only say that we will do our best, so who can guarantee anything?

Zhou Jin couldn't help taking a look at the young man, he was too young to be so arrogant!

Seeing that Zhou Jin hadn't spoken, the young man said, "Are you a foreigner? Don't worry, no matter where you come from, our medical clinic is the most honest, and we will never cheat you. Just put a hundred Don't worry, just treat your illness here, you don't have to worry about the rest..."

The young man opened his mouth, and there was no end to it.He has a bit of a talkative physique.

Young people, youthful and lively, full of energy!

Zhou Jin asked him, "What's your name? How did you know that I'm a foreigner?"

The young man grinned, "Just call me Xiao Ge. Young master, you don't know that! I can tell it with my eyes." His eyes were shining brightly, "The people in this town, I don't say I know all of them, at least they are familiar. Young master, you are either rich or expensive, I have seen all the good-looking and rich young masters like you in our town!"

Zhou Jin smiled, "Really? I can't tell that you are young and have a good eye!"

"My lord, you are too much." Xiaoge smiled, then patted his head, and scanned the long queue in embarrassment, "Your lord, look, our medical clinic is crowded today, and you may have to wait for a long time. In this way, you first Sit aside and rest for a while, and I'll make you a pot of tea."

Xiaoge squinted his eyes, somewhat proud, "Let me tell you that this tea is the unique osmanthus tea of ​​our medical clinic. In other places, even if you have money, you will never be able to drink it!"

As he said this, he was secretly looking at Zhou Jin's expression.I'm afraid that this seemingly rich and powerful young man will make a fuss because he doesn't want to wait in line.

Speaking of this matter, he was also a little bit afraid, their medical clinic is a rule set by Dr. Zhou.When you come here, as long as it is not an emergency, you have to wait in line.People in this town are already used to it.

But some people who have traveled long distances are not happy, especially those who are pampered, rich and powerful.These gentlemen are used to calling the wind and calling the rain, so they want to use their privileges. If they don't like it, they will get angry and smash the stall.

Just last month, there was a Mr. Chen who came to the medical clinic with a horse-drawn carriage, calling for Dr. Zhou by name.I am even more unwilling to line up with the patients to see a doctor.

Doctor Zhou was not in the hospital at all, no matter how much Dr. Shang and the others tried to persuade him, the master refused to compromise, and he just made a big fuss in the hospital, causing them to have no business that day. made.In the end, it was Master Liu who came forward in person to give up.

It's also thanks to the business relationship between Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu. For Mr. Liu's face, the matter didn't become a big deal.Otherwise, I really don't know how to end it.

As soon as Xiaoge saw Zhou Jin, a young man in brocade clothes, come in, he felt awkward again, and immediately cheered up 12 points, for fear that there would be another person who would smash the stall if he disagreed, and it would be troublesome.

"Osmanthus tea?" Zhou Jin thought of the osmanthus tree in the backyard, but he didn't expect it to be more and more useful now.

"There's no need to drink tea, I'll go find Doctor Shang and the others right now." After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he turned around and walked over the long queue to the counter.

"My lord, wait!" Xiaoge was anxious for a while, and hurriedly muttered behind his buttocks, "My lord, you don't know, we have to queue up to see a doctor in the hospital. I know you must have worked hard all the way here. You go to the lounge and sit back, drink tea..."

Zhou Jin turned a deaf ear and walked to the counter in a few steps with the wind blowing under his feet.

Through the hollowed-out carved wooden partition, one can vaguely see that Shang Gui and Ah Ci are both taking their pulse seriously. The two have a calm demeanor and calm eyes, and they are quite a bit of a gentleman.

Zhou Jin was overjoyed, so he went to the small door on the right side of the counter.

The entire consultation room is semi-enclosed, about 20 square meters, and is trapezoidal.Only a small door on the right can enter the consultation room.The front counter was divided into four clinic cabinets by hollow carved wood, and now only Shang Gui and A Ci occupy the middle two counters, and the left and right counters are empty.

Seeing this, Xiaoge was shocked, thinking that Zhou Jin was unruly and wanted to force his way into the consulting room to see a doctor.He took a few quick steps to stop Zhou Jin, but he was a step too late.

Zhou Jin held the handle and pushed gently, and the door opened.

The clicking sound startled the two people who were concentrating on their pulses. They frowned and turned their heads sideways. The next moment, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of incredible shock.

"Long time no see, Ah Gui, Ah Ci!" Zhou Jin leaned against the door, wearing a golden and red fur cape that made the smile on his face even more dazzling.

"master!"

"Ajin!"

The two screamed in unison, their faces beaming with joy.

Xiaoge's outstretched hand snapped, almost breaking.

He froze in place, looked at the doctors, then at the young man in brocade, the shock in his heart almost made him dizzy.

Could this be Doctor Zhou?Is it the owner of Zhou's Medical Center?Is it a medical god with superb medical skills and revered by everyone?

How come you are so young?
