    Returning to his "Guanxiang Pavilion", Liu Wenyang felt that he had gone for a walk outside and his cold had worsened, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.  .  .  The little boy Mingyue hurriedly invited a nearby doctor to come over. The old Chinese doctor had a white beard and looked like he had profound medical skills.  Liu Wenyang was lying on the bed, and the old Chinese medicine doctor said to him: "Come, let me feel the master's pulse first." Liu Wenyang stretched out a hand from under the thick quilt, and the little boy Mingyue helped roll up his sleeves.  , showing his wrist.  The old Chinese medicine practitioner stretched out three fingers, with the middle finger closed, and the remaining two fingers gently rested on the inches and feet.  Pay attention to your pulse.  After a moment, he said again: "Let me take a look at the condition of Mr. Liu's tongue." Liu Wenyang had no choice but to stick out half of his tongue. The old Chinese doctor came up to take a look. Then he reached out and touched his forehead, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Liu, this is an external infection.  "Wind-cold, qi stagnation and unwellness." When Liu Wenyang heard this, he knew that he was really caught in the wind-cold. But Tong Mingyue didn't understand and asked hurriedly: "Then is our young master okay?"  The Chinese medicine doctor stroked his beard and ignored him, but looked at Liu Wenyang and said: "Sir, do you feel very cold, but your body is very hot, you have a headache, but you are not sweating, you feel tightness in your chest, and you have a bad appetite and don't want to eat.  "Things?" Liu Wenyang nodded. It seemed that the other party had two brushes, but he was not the quack doctor or the Mongolian doctor. He couldn't help but said: "The old gentleman is right, but I don't know how you saw it." The old Chinese doctor smiled.  , said: "Young Master's pulse is floating, floating pulse is superficial, tongue coating is thin and white but not greasy, white coating is cold, his forehead is permed and covered with such a thick silk quilt, and a blanket is added on top. He must be afraid of the cold."  But there is no sweat on your forehead. When checking your pulse, I also found that your palms were not sweaty. Your brows were slightly furrowed when you spoke. This is a natural reaction to your headache. In addition, I already know the illness you had after going out today, so I judged it based on what I observed.  You have an aversion to cold, body heat, headache, and no sweat. Combined with your pulse and tongue, you can definitely tell that it is due to exogenous wind-cold syndrome. " "That's it." Liu Wenyang couldn't help but nodded. It seems that there are tricks for every profession.  Practicing medicine is like looking at physiognomy, it requires careful observation, so he said: "Now that the old gentleman has explained my disease correctly, can you tell me how to treat it?" "Now that we know the disease symptoms, it will be easier.  If the wind and cold are on the surface, it is natural to use medicine to relieve the symptoms. At the same time, if the Qi is depressed and uncomfortable, then it is necessary to regulate the Qi and widen the middle. There is a medicine called perilla leaf, which can not only relieve the cold but also regulate the Qi and widen the middle.  It can be used for the young master's disease." "Just use this medicine?" "Of course not, it needs to be combined with other medicines. As the saying goes: the king and his ministers use medicine together like soldiers. This medicine uses Cyperus rotundus.  It can promote qi and relieve stagnation, and can also help perilla leaves to regulate qi. As for chest and epigastrium tightness, the main reason is qi stagnation, but it is also related to dampness stagnation. Therefore, it is also necessary to combine it with medicine that regulates qi and dries dampness, such as tangerine peel.  It is most suitable for this task. It can help relieve qi stagnation and relieve qi. In addition, it can be combined with licorice to strengthen the spleen and tangerine peel.  It can move qi without consuming it, and it can also harmonize the properties of the medicine. It serves two purposes. It can be regarded as an adjuvant and a medicine. In addition, the young master has a cough, so I added some platycodon to help resolve phlegm and relieve the cough" The old Chinese doctor talked eloquently for a while.  After finishing the prescription, he told Liu Wenyang: "The wind and cold can be big or small. Although my prescription is quite effective, it is best for you not to work too hard and get more rest, especially not to stay up late" "Get more rest?"  Don't stay up late?  Is it possible!  Liu Wenyang understood that this was the good intention of the old Chinese doctor, but he just dealt with it perfunctorily.  After the old Chinese medicine doctor left, the child Mingyue hurried to the medicine shop to grab the medicinal materials. After returning to the house, she was busy mixing water with the medicine.  But when he came over with the medicine bowl, he saw that Liu Wenyang was not lying on the bed and resting, but sitting at the desk and immersed in writing.  The little boy Mingyue was anxious and complained to Liu Wenyang: "Master, why don't you listen to the doctor? He asked you to have a good rest, but you are still writing." Liu Wenyang coughed a few times and said: "I am rushing to finish the manuscript, these need to be handed in tomorrow  That fat Hugua. "After that, he coughed again.  Seeing him like this, the little boy Mingyue felt very distressed and said: "Master, please drink this bowl of medicine first, and I will help you write!" Liu Wenyang felt that the wrist holding the pen was sore. He used to have difficulty writing calligraphy, but now  It¡¯s a good idea.  He gave up his seat to Ming Yue and said, "I've asked you to write it." "Master, drink the medicine first and then talk." Under Ming Yue's urging, Liu Wenyang had no choice but to frown and slowly drink the hard-working decoction.  Lose.  After finally finishing the medicinal soup, Liu Wenyang breathed a sigh of relief. Tong Mingyue took the empty bowl, helped him sit on the bed, then returned to the table and wrote: "Young master, you read it, I will write it!"   Liu Wenyang began to tell the "story" he had "written".  The little Tong Mingyue was originally that kind of genius child. Following Liu Wenyang, he learned to read very quickly, and the calligraphy written by Liu Wenyang was actually three points better than Liu Wenyang's.  At first he just immersed himself in copying, but gradually he was attracted by the stories his young master was telling him.  The stories Liu Wenyang tells are all in short paragraphs, which are very strange and interesting. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Tong Mingyue¡¯s mind is full of strange thoughts, but no matter how strange it is, it¡¯s not as strange as Liu Wenyang¡¯s stories, and no matter how bizarre, these stories are not as bizarre.  "One of the wolves came back late from the slaughter, and all the meat in the load was gone, except for the bones. On the way, two wolves traveled far away. The butcher was afraid, so he threw the bones. One wolf was stopped by the bones, but the other still followed. Throw it again, and the other wolves stopped.  Then the former wolf came again, its bones were gone, but the two waves were driving together as usual"  "Wang Sheng of Taiyuan was leaving early, and met a girl holding a baby girl and running alone. It was very difficult to move, so he hurried to take advantage of it.  Erba Shuli. She loves each other and asks: Why do you walk alone all night long? The girl said: People who practice the Tao can't relieve their worries, so why bother asking"  "Ning Caichen, a native of Zhejiang, has a generous and honest nature.  You should respect yourself. Every couple said: "There is no difference in life. I went to Jinhua and went to Beiguo. The temple was magnificent, but there was no one there, and I seemed to have disappeared" Liu Wenyang coughed and spoke.  The child Mingyue copied the ten stories with gusto, and even forgot about the sore wrists.  Until Liu Wenyang stopped talking.  The child Mingyue is still immersed in these ten unique ghost fox stories and cannot extricate herself.  He couldn't figure it out.  What kind of brain does my young master have?  To be able to write such a wonderful short story.  He especially liked the article "Nie Xiaoqian", and felt that the whole article was full of an indescribable mysterious flavor.  "Master, your stories are so exciting! I only knew you were good at fortune telling, but I didn't know you were so good at telling stories!" The little boy Mingyue put down the pen and turned back to Liu Wenyang happily.  But on the bed, Liu Wenyang, who was holding back his cough and telling stories just now, had already fallen asleep leaning on the head of the bed.  The little boy Mingyue suddenly felt sad. He didn't understand why his young master wanted to abuse him.  There are obviously good times ahead, but you are asking for trouble.  Just now he praised these stories for being interesting, but now he felt that these stories had harmed the young master.  If it weren't for these things, the young master wouldn't be so tired.  Mingyue walked to Liu Wenyang, leaned down and gently took off Liu Wenyang's shoes, then lifted his legs and put him on the bed, then covered him with the quilt, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. ?¡­ ?Just when Tong Mingyue was waiting for Liu Wenyang to go to bed, the spring breeze smiled inside the building.  Chun Shisanniang is playing with the chess pieces on Go, but she is not playing Go.  Instead, he is studying Liu Wenyang's newly invented five-child connection method.  "This kind of gameplay is quite interesting. No wonder Chunmei and Qiuju are so addicted to it. Tell me, is it better to block other people's routes and only defend without attacking, or is it better to attack the opponent continuously and take the opportunity to find loopholes?  " "This I don't know" Shi Qin was very puzzled as to why his master would be interested in such a thing.  "I don't know if I don't know. You came here so late, but you have something to report?" "Yes, Master, this is the information I just received" Shi Qin respectfully presented the information.  Chun Shisanniang glanced a few times, but said nothing.  "It seems that His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is really coming soon. Even the ancestors can't hold it back and want to come here to take charge." Chun Shisanniang said to herself.  Shi Qin knew that the "ancestor" was Lai Hanchen, the leader of Jinyiwei.  Lai Hanchen is a god-like figure. He comes and goes around Emperor Hongwu, but few people know his origins.  It was he who was responsible for protecting Zhu Chongba and Chen Youliang in the Poyang Lake battle. He shot Chen thief with an arrow and won the famous Poyang Lake victory.  Afterwards, people from all walks of life discussed their merits and distributed rewards. Only Lai Hanchen knelt down and begged Zhu Chongba to hand over the guards and soldiers around him so that he could train them into a new army so that he could better repay the emperor's favor.  Zhu Chongba, who was still just the "King of Wu" at the time, readily agreed to his request, so Lai Hanchen asked him to select orphans to give the secret agents the most brutal training. They must enforce national laws within the legal principles and exclude dissidents outside the legal principles.  This organization is called "Jinyiwei"!  At first, many people laughed at Lai Hanchen for being stupid and not asking for rewards, but he wanted to found this bullshit "Jinyiwei". However, with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the Jinyiwei began to become the most powerful minions of His Majesty the Emperor, no one could laugh anymore.  Lai Hanchen holds the power of life and death. Secretly, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. No matter how many people die in his hands,So many times that the Ming Dynasty changed its tone.  But when Lai Hanchen was at his most prosperous, he chose to retire, voluntarily handed over the command of the Jinyiwei, and recommended his subordinate Mao Xiang as the first commander of the Jinyiwei.  Mao Xiang was originally a member of the inspection school, that is, an intelligence officer.  Many courtiers also knew this.  To be a good intelligence officer, you must have a strong sense of observation, be sure to check every penny spent, and not let go of any possible clues. However, it seems that you do not need to have a sense of control. It seems that you would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go, which seems to be an intelligence agent.  The qualities that Mao Xiang should possess, and Mao Xiang indeed possesses such qualities.  Therefore, there is no dispute that he became the first commander of Jinyiwei.  But just when Mao Xiang thought he could put aside the shadow of Lai Hanchen and become the number one person in the shadow, he was not proud for long before he was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and died.  Immediately afterwards, Lai Hanchen did not take the initiative to request a comeback, but once again recommended Yang Xian as the second commander of the Jinyi Guards beside Emperor Hongwu. However, like his predecessor, this majestic Yang Xian also had power and intrigues with the courtiers, and finally died.  No burial place.  Since then, the commanders of the Jinyiwei have been changed again and again, but Lai Hanchen has always been hiding among them. Like the devil's shadow, he circulates in the Jinyiwei camp. He is deeply trusted by Emperor Hongwu and remains standing.  It was only then that people realized that the so-called most powerful figure in Jinyiwei was the ancestor who founded the organization. No matter where he was, Jinyiwei would always be the weapon in his hand, and no one dared to compete.  Now, the ancestor Lai Hanchen wants to come to Poyang City to take charge. He is undoubtedly afraid that something will happen to the emperor's grandson during his inspection of Jiangnan. Emperor Hongwu must also be worried behind this.  Otherwise, this ancestor who never saw the dragon's beginning or end would not be allowed to take action himself.  But for Chun Shisanniang, this is not good news.  First of all, if the ancestor really came here, it would be a sign of distrust in his work; secondly, as soon as he came here, he would deprive himself of the power to dispatch Jin Yiwei; finally, the ancestor was unpredictable, and he was in the same position as him.  It's very stressful together, and if you don't get it right, something may happen.  Therefore, Chun Shisanniang thought about it for a while and replied with a secret letter, saying that all hidden dangers had been eliminated and there was no need for ancestors to bother.  After processing this important information, the rest were almost trivial matters, including some news about Liu Wenyang.  Chun Shisanniang looked at it a few times and couldn't help but smile.  Shi Qin had been observing her master's reaction, and when she saw her laughing after reading the information about Liu Wenyang, she couldn't help but snitch: "I don't understand, that Liu Wen Yang didn't prepare his business properly to tell fortunes, but instead he went out of his way.  Come on!" Then he said, "If he continues to act like this, he will betray his master's good intentions!" Chun Shisanniang didn't take it seriously, smiled charmingly, and threw the report aside, but there were these two words on it.  Everything Tianliu Wenyang has done, and everyone he has come into contact with, including the miserable man Wang Xiaoer, and the fat man Hugua from Buyi Bookstore.  "Although this person is a little unprofessional, he is also interesting!" This is Chun Shisanniang's evaluation of Liu Wenyang.  Maid Shiqin couldn't help but frown secretly. She felt that her master seemed to be a little too partial to this little bastard.  "Give him some of the elixir that our ancestors gave me from the Taiyuan Hospital. Even though it's just typhoid fever, it needs to be treated well!" Chun Shisanniang wrote lightly.  This is no longer partiality, but love.  Shi Qin suddenly felt jealous.  This elixir given by the ancestor is so precious, and the master actually wants to give it to that little magic stick!  There were a hundred or ten thousand things in her heart that she was not willing to do, so the maid Shiqin had no choice but to hide it in her heart, hold it in her stomach, and agreed to the promise.  Seeing Shi Qin's gift, Chun Shisanniang waved her loose sleeves and sat on the couch like a colorful cloud. She glanced at the report and couldn't help but wonder, what the hell is this Liu Wenyang doing? Could it be that he doesn't want to do it anymore?  To observe physiognomy, but to be a small bookseller?  !  But can he make it?  !  Then he glanced at the backgammon on the chessboard and thought to himself, this little guy is full of weird ideas!  (To be continued)
