Chapter 122 We go home

Later, because there was still an infant child, Wang Mengying married his second wife, Mrs. Wu, and this Mrs. Wu began to live a turbulent life with Wang Mengying. From 1849 to 1852 AD, that is, when Wang Mengying was in his forties, his friends helped him to publish books such as "Hui Chun Lu", "Ren Shu Zhi" and "Warm Jingwei". In 1851 AD, Wang Mengying's old mother passed away. Wang Mengying's mother's death hit Wang Mengying very hard. When she was dying, her mother asked him to bury herself in Gaoting Mountain, saying that this was a shortcut back to her hometown in Haichang, so that the children could come to worship her in the future.

This is the summer of that year. The weather in Jiangnan is hot and humid. Wang Mengying knelt in front of her mother's grave. Suddenly, he felt that he began to miss his hometown, where his ancestors were buried. In fact, Wang Mengying also missed her hometown for a long time. At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom team was about to fight, and the price of goods in Hangzhou was soaring. Poor people like Wang Mengying began to feel powerless. However, the few houses left by the ancestors in my hometown Haichang have been divided by the tribe, and I have no place to live when I go back, what should I do?

At this time, a friend named Xie Zaihua appeared. What happened to this Xie Zaihua?It turned out that he lived in Blessing Square in Hangzhou City, and he met Wang Mengying for some reason. One day Wang Mengying said to Xie Zaihua that there would be a fire in the place where you live, and I hope you move quickly. Be obedient, go home, pack up a bag, and move out. In the autumn, there was a fire in Blessing Square (those who oppose Chinese medicine must think it was Wang Mengying who set the fire, otherwise it would not be so effective), Xie Zaihua escaped by luck. , Since then, I am very grateful to Wang Mengying.After he heard that Wang Mengying wanted to move back to his hometown in Haichang, but he had no house to live in, he began to run around to inquire about Wang Mengying's news, and his hard work paid off. Not long after, he brought in a man named Guan Zhishan. A friend introduced him to Wang Mengying and said: This Guan Zhishan lives in Haichang. His family is in Tingxi, Beixiang, Haichang. The scenery there is very beautiful and the folk customs are simple. If you want to go back, he can take you there. You can be neighbors.

Wang Mengying was overjoyed, someone led the way, of course it was great, and he was not polite, so he immediately followed Guan Zhishan and took a boat to his hometown Haichang. After seeing it, it really was a paradise, so he rented a house from a family named Zhu, and then , I acted immediately, and brought my family (at this time only my wife and a few daughters, and according to literature analysis, there may be a few nephews) to settle down. In fact, Wang Mengying's return to his hometown at this time is very desolate, because his family is basically impoverished and has nothing, and his valuable possession is an inkstone. He wrapped a few rags and held a precious inkstone in his hand. Even if he moved, he said that after his father passed away, he "carried an inkstone to float in the river and sea. For more than 30 years, only one Inkstone Guiji", so he gave the name of a collection of medical records published later as "Guiyanlu".

This year, Wang Mengying was fifty-one years old. A fifty-one-year-old man has spent almost his whole life in the rivers and lakes, but in the end he only had an inkstone. From the perspective of measuring a person’s success with money, he has failed so much that he can almost learn from success. The opposite of the lecture was typical. However, he has left us a large number of wonderful Chinese medicine works, and he has treated so many dying patients. From this perspective, he is successful. At least, he fulfilled his promise to his father: to be useful to the world.
