Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

"The auspicious time has come!" With the sound of a gong, Gang Leader Lin said loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhang Ruyi, as the host, said at this time: "The auspicious time has come, the musicians and dancers will be in place, and the deacons will perform their duties."

Everyone took their places, Zhang Ruyi continued: "Accompany the sacrificial officer, divide the sacrificial officer, and the sacrificial officer takes his place!"

Temple blessings lead everyone to worship.

"Welcome the gods!" Seeing that everyone was already in place, Zhang Ruyi said, and with this singing, the music teacher began to play music.

Zhang Ruyi sang again: "Bow, bow, bow! Bow, bow! Bow, bow! Bow, bow! Stand flat!"

The sacrificial officer, accompanying sacrificial officer and others all bowed four times together. After standing up, the music stopped.

Zhang Jiebin looked at these and saw that they were exactly the same as the Taiyuan Hospital's sacrifice to the Three Emperors on March 3rd. But the later steps were much simplified. After all, the Taiyuan Hospital was the representative of the imperial court and had a large scale. It was also supervised by the Ministry of Rites, so it was much more grand.

The Yaowang Temple sacrifice is a folk sacrifice, and everything is not so formal. It does not need to be like Taiyuan Hospital, which requires half a month of training in advance.

While Zhang Jiebin was thinking about this, Zhang Ruyi said again: "Lay the silk and make a present."

The person holding the silk held the silk, and the person holding the title held the title. The temple blessing brought everyone to the present official and said: "To the washhouse."

There were several officials, one of whom was Hall Master Cao. They each walked to the washbasin and wiped themselves clean after washing.

Seeing that everyone had washed themselves, the temple congratulator continued: "Go to the place where the wine master is."

Hall Master Cao and others arrived at the wine hall, and the temple congratulator said: "Master Si raised a cup to drink wine."

So everyone held wine and silk in two rows, entered through the middle door, and presented them to the sacred table.

After all the gifts were put away, Zhang Ruyi said: "Go to the throne of Medicine King."

As soon as he finished speaking, the musician played music again.

The temple blessing led all the officials to the altar and said: "Kneel down."

Everyone knelt down and worshiped.

…

After the gift presentation, Gang Leader Lin and Zhang Ruyi argued with each other, but Zhang Ruyi finally took the gong, walked out of the main hall, struck the gong and shouted loudly: "The market is open!"

Suddenly, more than a thousand merchants in the courtyard said excitedly: "The market is open! The market is open..."

"The market is open!"

Gradually, the voices of the people inside and outside the temple gradually converged. From Yaowang Temple to the north, to Xiaoyao Market, and then to Dabao Market, the voices of tens of thousands of people merged into one.

The merchants dispersed, and the Yaowang Temple once again returned to the hands of the people of Qizhou. Temple blessings no longer blocked the door. After a period of chaos, after a swarm of people finished worshiping, the flow of people in the temple once again poured into the temple market, returning to the temple market.

Go to the temple fair.

After the gifts, Zhang Jiebin and others followed Zhang Ruyi to the cross-courtyard. Zhang Gantou said: "This year is more lively than in previous years. I see there are a lot more merchants. The temple fair should last longer."

Zhang Ruyi agreed: "Yes, in the past, although the temple fair lasted for five months, except for this month, the number of merchants and medicinal materials in other months was less than one-third. Most of them were slow-selling medicinal materials, so it had to be extended."

"Oh? I heard that large and small pharmaceutical markets are open all year round. How about the other seven months?" Zhang Jiebin asked.

"No, let me tell you this, I, a pharmaceutical and pesticide worker in Qizhou, rely on this month for my livelihood throughout the year." Zhang Ruyi said.

After saying this, Zhang Jiebin understood immediately, before he could continue to ask.

Leader Lin waited for a few people to arrive and said repeatedly: "There are many things to do. I just finished handling them. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Hall Master Cao said: "Master Hui, you are coming to Qizhou, why didn't you tell me earlier that we could go together?"

"It's all my fault. I didn't know Hall Master Cao was coming, otherwise I would have saved the money for traveling all the way." Zhang Jiebin said with a smile.

"I come to Qizhou every year to buy medicine. You can ask, if Heniantang didn't come here, would they dare to open the market?" Hall Master Cao said very proudly.

Zhang Ruyi smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention, I actually postponed the opening of the market five years ago just to wait for Hall Master Cao."

"Hahaha, sir, you know now. Although our Heniantang is low-key in the capital, this sign is easy to use! It is no exaggeration to say that the price of Qizhou medicinal materials depends on what Heniantang wants.

"

Li Yingshi suddenly realized: "I admire you. No wonder when Yang Jisheng was killed, your Heniantang was not afraid of offending Yan Song and his son by displaying Yang Jisheng's inscription."

Zhang Jiebin also said: "I have also heard about this. You are really good at it. The inscriptions of Yan Song and his son and Yang Jisheng are hung side by side. This is a traitor and a traitor in the same family!"

"In the eyes of the Cao family outside, there are only patients and no loyalties or traitors." Hall Master Cao said solemnly.

Zhang Ruyi agreed very much: "This is also the reason why everyone is willing to wait for Heniantang. It's not that there are no other customers. Although Heniantang doesn't have many foodies every year, it's good at knowing the goods and being an innocent child. In addition, the capital city is the best in the world.

A good place affects the price trend of medicinal materials. If He Niantang doesn't come, everyone will be worried."

At this time, Heniantang reached its most glorious moment in the hands of Master Cao. After Master Cao, Heniantang lost its glory. A hundred years later, its status was replaced by the new Tongrentang. So there was "Tongrentang Buchi".

, Anguo cannot open the market." This is shown in the fictional "Baicao Hall" of the Bai family in "The Gate of the Mansion", and the prototype of Baicao Hall is Tongrentang, and the prototype of the Bai family is Lejia.

"I see, this is the signboard of a century-old store." Speaking of this, Zhang Jiebin suddenly thought of Meng Yutang mentioned earlier, and asked: "Brother Ruyi, you said that Meng Yutang in Ruzhou lasted for eight hundred years.

I wonder if anyone is coming to Meng Yutang?"

Hall Master Cao was also curious: "Eight hundred years of Meng Yutang? Why haven't I heard of it? Mr. Zhang might as well introduce it to us. Eight hundred years of continuous layers is a big deal."

Gang leader Lin also looked at Zhang Ruyi, apparently hearing about it for the first time.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiebin became even more curious and said: "You are all from a medical family, how come you don't know about Meng Shen and his Meng Yutang?"

"Meng Shen?" Gang Leader Lin looked confused.

Hall Master Cao thought for a while and said: "Eight hundred years ago, Meng Shen, could it be Meng Tongzhou who wrote "Therapeutic Materia Medica"?"

"Exactly." Zhang Ruyi nodded.

"Not to mention, although "Therapeutic Materia Medica" has been of great help to us, this is the first time I have heard about Meng Yutang. Unexpectedly, Meng Tongzhou not only had great medical skills, but also benefited future generations with his works, even the medicine hall

It can be passed down to this day, which shows that family tradition is valuable and is a role model for our generation." Hall Master Cao said with emotion.

"I only learned about Meng Yutang when I was a classmate at Mengshi Zitai Hospital. I heard from him that the Meng family has actually stopped practicing medicine for a long time, but they are still doing business, hiring doctors and running medicine halls. In addition, the Meng family is a Yasheng family.

Over the past dynasties, we have been favored by the government. Even if the management is not good, no one dares to take it away. This has been passed down to this day."

Zhang Ruyi said that it turned out that among the medical students recruited by Taiyuan Hospital seven years ago, there was Ruzhou Meng.

Zhang Jiebin said: "The Taiyuan Hospital is worthy of being the holy place for doctors in the world. First there is the Xu family of Donghai, which has been passed down for thousands of years; and then there is the Meng family of Ruzhou, which has been passed down for eight hundred years. Carrying forward the past and forging ahead, and gathering together, who is better than Taiyuan Hospital?"
