Chapter 2 Opportunity

His Majesty the Emperor was sick. Wei Chi, who was a family doctor, could only serve him on the side. In addition, Sun Simiao could only spend his time in the palace. When His Majesty Li Er was handling affairs, the two of them were waiting in the side room, and they went to the room when needed. While waiting, they chatted casually and talked about Chinese medicine. As they were talking, Wei Chi thought of the Compendium of Materia Medica and remembered some of the more common medicines used in later generations, but the few medical books he had read did not mention them, so he asked.

Sun Simiao said: "Due to the limitations of regions, there are thousands of medicinal materials in the world, how can all be entered into medical books!"

Wei Chi nodded when he heard this. Modern transportation was developed, so that things from all over the world could be interconnected. In ancient times, information and environment were blocked due to transportation, and it was impossible to concentrate all resources. Therefore, the ancients often said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and there is always a reason for it.

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "The second brother is right. Brother Yu has been in charge of the capital for a long time. Today, when the second brother said that Brother Yu has also become a wandering person. After the wind oil essence and cooling oil were developed, the second brother found someone to replace Brother Yu's professor, Brother Yu wanted to go out of the capital for a walk. This first destination is to go to Rongzhou and Kunzhou for a generation."

Rongzhou is the area around Sichuan, and Kunzhou is the Yunnan of later generations. During the past, Wei Chi mentioned it occasionally and mentioned the abundant medicinal resources there. Unexpectedly, Sun Simiao was worried. Wei Chi said: "Brother, the journey here is far away. The conditions there are dangerous, the climate is humid, and there are many snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants. It is best not to go there, it is dangerous."

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "I am a foreigner, another doctor, not a soldier, so how can there be danger?"

After Wei Chi persuaded him for a long time, Sun Simiao seemed to have made up his mind. No matter what Wei Chi said, he refused to let go, which made the guy very depressed. He could only scrape his stomach and think about avoiding it. After worrying for a long time, he suddenly woke up that Sun Simiao was a doctor himself, and the so-called miasma and other things did not harm him, and he would save himself.

Speaking of snakes, insects, mosquitoes, and ants, Sun Simiao smiled and said, "The cooling oil, wind oil essence, etc. proposed by my second brother, will be a must-have medicine when I get on the way."

He was quite optimistic in his words. Wei Chi had no choice but to touch his nose in a depressed manner and let him go. His righteous brother Sun seemed gentle, but he was a person who was the only one who made up his mind and didn't have to think about persuading him back. This personality used to be quite good, but now he looked at it.

Seeing Wei Chi's depressed look, Sun Simiao comforted her warmly: "The second brother remembers my true feelings for Brother Yu. However, the second brother does not have to worry about Brother Yu. It is not that this is my first time traveling, and I have traveled many places in the past. When I first met my second brother, Brother Yu had just returned to Chang'an for one month."

Wei Chi thought about it, and scratched his head and smiled, "What the big brother said is that it seems that I am worried about it. However, I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid that if I want it, make more preparations. It is convenient to make the journey more convenient, and it is not as good as at home when I am away."

Sun Simiao looked at Wei Chi with a gentle smile, nodded frequently at Wei Chi's nagging. After arriving, he smiled and said, "Brother Yu will not go out for a while. Please rest assured, second brother, what do you want to say to Brother Yu? Just say it slowly."

Wei Chi then realized that he had overreacted. He couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, lowered his head and felt embarrassed. Sun Simiao said: "Brother Yu said this, but he did not mean to criticize his second brother. Brother Yu was lonely since childhood and suffered many hardships throughout his life. When he was middle-aged, he would meet two relatives and friends like the second brother and sister, which is really a great pleasure in life."

Wei Chi scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "What are you saying? We first arrived in the Tang Dynasty and received our sincerity and warm treatment. It is also the luck of Xie Jiu and me. Otherwise, we don't need to say anything, just have a clear idea in our hearts."

The two brothers smiled at each other, and they left nothing to say. They turned the topic away and continued to talk about the issue of wind oil essence and cooling oil. Wei Chi just vaguely remembered the prescription and needed multiple arguments. Fortunately, after knowing the purpose, Sun Simiao was a familiar person who knew the properties of medicine. He had already had some idea. He just waited for the matter in the palace to finish, and the two of them went back to continue their research.

As the two were talking, they saw the eunuch coming over from afar, which seemed to be His Majesty Li Er's snack. Wei Chi's eyebrows and eyes flashed a hint of joy, blinking at Sun Simiao, and quietly watching the eunuch bringing food in. Sure enough, as soon as the eunuch went in, Empress Changsun asked someone to come and pass Wei Chi to ask if the dim sum could be enjoyed.

Wei Chi was serious and repeated the things that should be avoided. In the past few days, in addition to giving His Majesty Li Er acupuncture every day, dispensing medicine to relieve headaches and clear meridians, Wei Chi also served as the nutritionist. In short, His Majesty Li Er's dietary habits must be changed. He hated His Majesty Li Er's eyes always wandered around Wei Chi's buttocks, which made him frightened, but he was happy with the role of the nutritionist. He was also open and upright. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's unwilling expression, Wei Chi had a speechless pleasure. Meow, what about the emperor? He didn't want to eat after he suggested eating.

Speaking of this, I have to admire Empress Changsun's methods. She knows His Majesty Li Er's character well and can easily let His Majesty Li Er take the food and medicine obediently every day. The wonderful use of Wei Chi made him admire him. He is worthy of being a couple for many years.

Wei Chi worked as a family doctor in the villa, and the happiest thing was the children who followed Li Er to the villa to escape the summer heat. Among the children he brought were Li Zhi, Yizi, and Xincheng, and not many concubines came, only two or three. So, in his spare time, the three little kids came to him to play, and life was not very boring.

When His Majesty Li Er is free, he will take everyone to the lake to sit, fish, and have a banquet. Xiao Yizi doesn’t know if she is addicted to wearing a lotus leaf hat. Every time she goes to the lake, she will pick a lotus leaf on her head. Against the green lotus leaf, her little pink face is brightly and cute because of the heat.

Wei Chi was amused when he saw it, and his childlike heart was rising. He threw the fishing rod and asked someone to bring a line, dug a few earthworms, tied it with a line, led three little ghosts, and lie by the pond to catch fish and play with small fish. This kind of fish can catch some small fish like fry. The trick is to have a quick eye and quick hand. When the fish bites the earthworm, he sees it bite it tightly, and seizes the opportunity to pull the line out of the water. The fish caught in this way will not die, and can still be kept for fun.

Wei Chi specially asked someone to prepare a large white porcelain bowl, make half a bowl of water, and after catching the small fish, he put it in, led the Yizi and Xincheng, and had a lot of fun. Li Zhi looked envious, but he was embarrassed to come over, holding the fishing rod, turning his head from time to time to look.

There were only His Majesty Li Er, Empress Changsun, Wei Chi, and three little ghosts by the lake. The concubine who followed him sat down for a while and then went back to rest. Only Empress Changsun was still sitting under the pavilion to take care of her husband and children. Wei Chi was a thick-skinned person who saw that someone was fishing and came to join in the fun.

Seeing Li Zhi's absent-minded look, His Majesty Li Er said, "Fishing requires the most peace of mind. If you are not calm, how can you catch fish?"

Li Zhi shrank his neck and said quickly, "What the Father taught me is." As he said that, he corrected his mind and focused his energy on fishing again. It is very rare to be able to do this at a young age. His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Today is an exception, go and play with Ziyue, Yizi and the others."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Zhi was happy, but he didn't jump up immediately. He patiently put away the fishing gear, and then ran over, imitating Wei Chi and the others, and used a line to catch small fish and play with them.

Li Zhi had just arrived, but his skills were not skilled enough. He often raised the thread before the fish was bitten tightly, but he caught all of them. Wei Chi was very bad. Not only did he not give guidance, he also laughed at others and showed off his pride that there were a large number of small fish in the porcelain bowl.

Li Zhi was so angry that he grinned, and grinned at Wei Chi, trying hard to figure it out slowly. It was a very simple thing, but Li Zhi gradually figured out the way, and the number of small fish he caught gradually increased. Surprisingly, he actually caught a small shrimp, which made him show off to Wei Chi again.

Wei Chi was very happy when he saw Li Zhi showing his face at him, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. Now Li Zhi’s little master can’t see the appearance of a coward who was timid and without any confidence at all. This is all influenced by him. It is his educational achievements. It is not ordinary sense of accomplishment, but quite accomplishment.

After staying in the villa for a few days, Wei Chi not only recuperated His Majesty Li Er, but also recuperated Empress Changsun. Whether voluntarily or involuntarily cooperated, the two strictly abide by Wei Chi's medical advice, and the disease never occurred again. Wei Chi and Sun Simiao were able to go home. After returning home, Sun Simiao continued to develop cooling oil and wind oil essence, but Wei Chi was told by Xie Jiu that Sayed had really come to the door.

Wei Chi was urgently called away by Xiao Huang's father-in-law. Xie Jiu was alone at home to handle all matters. In order to take care of the two little babies nearby, Xie Jiu moved the office to the game room, and took care of the two children while working. However, the two one-year-old little kids did not give her quiet time to work, either to catch there or to go through the place. Lin Lin even started to chew the building blocks with his hands. Seeing Xie Jiu was amused and quickly helped him get it away, and smiled and said, "Son, the building blocks are not eaten."

When the mother and son were having fun, the housekeeper Cheng came and said respectfully: "Madam, a Hu Shang named Sayed handed over a famous post and asked to see the master."

Sayed?!

Xie Jiu remembered the gift that was still placed in the wing room and said, "Uncle Cheng, please reply to him, so he said that the master went to the palace to treat His Majesty and was not in the mansion. If you ask him what he had, please explain his purpose. When the master comes back, he will tell him to give him a reply."

"Yes, madam."

Uncle Cheng responded and went out to the door, and said to Sayed, who was at the door: "My master went to the palace to diagnose the emperor. He was not in the mansion. What happened to Master Sai? I don't know if it is convenient to inform him. If it is convenient, please inform me. I will report to my wife. When our master comes back, the wife will tell the master."

Sayed said: "When the housekeeper is in charge, Sayed came, and was discussing business with the doctor Wei. Sayed wanted to buy a batch of medicines, which was not an urgent matter. When the master of the mansion came back, Sayed would come again."

After saying that, Sayed left and left, leaving some gifts. Uncle Cheng hurriedly kept him and said, "Master Sai, my wife said that we cannot accept the gifts, please take them back."

Said smiled and said, "Please tell the wife of your mansion that according to the customs of our nation, the gifts you gave cannot be taken back. This means my gratitude to the miracle doctor of your mansion for saving his beloved son. Please don't dislike it, accept it."

As he said that, no matter what Uncle Cheng said, he refused to take back the gift and took the people back. Uncle Cheng could not do so, so he had to report to Xie Jiu again. Xie Jiu understood now that the Arab Sayed gave gifts to the Wei Mansion was, one to thank Wei Chi for saving his precious son, and the other to do business with the Wei Mansion.

After Xie Jiu finished speaking, Wei Chi said, "It turned out that I wanted to buy finished medicine, so there is no problem. Now all this is under the control of Wei Wen. Send him to talk to Wei Wen."

Xie Jiu frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you expect it? Didn't you find the opportunity hidden in it?"

Wei Chi laughed and said humbly: "Please give me some advice."

Xie Jiu said: "Is there any? What we have, what they need, what they have, what we may need. In real history, how did corn, pepper, pepper, etc. come to China?"

Wei Chi suddenly realized, hugged Xie Jiu happily, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Madam reminds you that this path works."

As he said that, Wei Chi turned his fingers and began to think about how to negotiate with Sayed. Xie Jiu looked at his appearance and smiled charmingly. Wei Chi was about to speak with great enthusiasm, but his legs were hugged. He looked down and saw that it was Lin Lin. He smiled and picked him up, burned incense on his pink face, and asked, "Son, what's wrong?"

Lin Lin said in a silence: "Diss! Kiss!"
