Denghuaxiao Chapter 133

It was quiet in front of Renxin Medical Center, and you could hear the needle drop.

Bai Shouyi's smile froze.

Yin Zheng was stunned, and even Miao Liangfang was stunned and didn't speak for a while.

 After Shen Feng responded, he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and looked at everyone with some doubts.

"Who do you think is on the list?" Bai Shouyi asked.

 “Doctor Lu!”

 Mother Wang's face changed: “Impossible!”

Shen Fengying didn't know Mrs. Wang, so he was instinctively unhappy when someone refuted him: "How is it impossible? All the red papers of Jingde's disciples are posted. A genius took the exam this spring, and he said that the exam papers he sent could not be compared with the dean of Hanlin Medical College. You can't fault them!”

“The black characters on the red paper are clearly written. Dr. Lu is number one. If you don't believe me, just read it yourself!”

Shen Fengying was out patrolling today and passed by Jingdemen. He happened to encounter someone in the palace posting a red notice. He was just joining in the fun to take a look, but he didn't expect to see a familiar name on the red list.

 Lu Zhuo!

Dr. Lu from Renxin Medical Center!

 As Shen Fengying who is keen on courting and making friends with noble people everywhere, he will never miss any opportunity for promotion. Dr. Lu will enter the Medical Officer's Hospital as a medical officer in the future. As the saying goes, medical officers are the same as medical officers, which is called "the first civil official and the last military officer". If Dr. Lu's luck is up, he may get the opportunity to join the imperial court in the future. The doctor can also help him say a few good words in front of noble people. Isn't the future bright?

  Anyway, he had dealt with Lu Yan several times before, and his relationship was closer than others. Thinking of this, Shen Fengying took the initiative to come to Renxin Medical Center to announce the good news.

Mother Wang stared at Lu Huo in disbelief, her heart trembling.

How can it be?

How can this be?

 Before posting the red list, a familiar medical officer clearly told Mrs. Dong that Lu Zhuo's name was not on this year's list.

But now in front of so many people, looking at the other party's swearing, it doesn't look like he is lying.

 Why did Lu Zhen suddenly appear on the list? Madam has obviously already greeted Ambassador Cui, and accepted all the silver and Tao inkstones sent.

How dare Cui Min?

　　The lively congratulations from the neighbors on West Street echoed all around.

 In a small place like West Street, it is unimaginable to have a medical officer. The poor, philistine, old alleys mixed with the blood of fish-killers and the filth of vegetable markets are two completely different worlds from the majestic, precious, and lofty palace gates.

Although everyone has been encouraging Lu Chunchun to try West Street, it is just a white lie.

In everyone's mind, a golden phoenix will never fly out of the henhouse—

 “Mother Wang.” Lu Zhuo said.

 Mother Wang raised her head and met the eyes of the woman in front of her.

Her eyes were calm, and her black and white eyes were like the melted snow in the mountains in early spring, clear and cool. As if frozen by the ice and snow in her eyes, Mrs. Wang subconsciously took a step back.

Lu Zhen stretched out his hand across her face and lifted the wedding basket.

 She weighed the wedding basket in her hands and nodded gently to the woman.

"Now," she said, "I can accept your gift."

 As soon as the red notice was posted in front of the Jingde gate, it spread first in the medical clinic.

 When the news reached the front office of the palace, Duan Xiaoyan was feeding gardenias in the yard.

The fresh stick bones are boiled, fragrant and hard, and are perfect for grinding the teeth of black dogs. After hearing the news, Duan Xiaoyan's hands shook, and he almost lost his balance with the bones and the basin. He stayed for a moment, put the stone basin on the table next to him, and hurried into the room, leaving the black dog to watch the bones dripping down on the table. Saliva all over the place.

“Brother, have you heard? Doctor Lu won first place in the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, first place!”

As soon as he entered the room, Duan Xiaoyan started shouting.

Pi Yunying, who was processing official documents, frowned: "Close the door."

"Oh." Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly turned around and closed the door. Seeing that Pei Yunying was still indifferent, he turned around and came to the table, "Aren't you surprised? I heard that Ji Xun personally set the questions this year, and the students in the Imperial Medical Bureau complained endlessly. She actually got first place!”

Pei Yunying ignored him. Xiao Zhufeng, who was sitting on the other side reading the manuscript, raised his head slightly: "Ji Xun?"

This Medical Officer Ji is extremely gifted in medical skills. He has already become an imperial doctor at a young age. On the surface, he has a humble position but a high reputation. However, upon closer inspection, the Ji family is behind him and his status is not much lower than that of the hospital envoy.

It's just that Ji Xun was aloof, cold and arrogant, and difficult to approach. Since he will set the questions for this year's spring exam, the difficulty is naturally not low.

"Yes," Duan Xiaoyan looked excited, "I heard that when the red list was posted in Jingdemen, the faces of all the students from the Imperial Medical Bureau at the bottom of the list were ugly. This time, the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau didn't know where to put their faces! "

Medical officers taught and set questions, but in the end, a common medical woman from the market won the first place, which sounds somewhat disgraceful.

“Brother, should we prepare gifts to send to West Street?”

Pei Yunying glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of her?"

Ever since he was teased by Lu Zhuo with a black snake at Renxin Medical Center last time, Duan Xiaoyan has kept away from Lu Zhuo. Although the snake was not actually poisonous, Duan Xiaoyan always felt that the killing intent in Lu Zhuo's eyes when he looked at him was real.

Duan Xiaoyan shuddered and said: "I sent it because I was afraid. Think about it, if she enters the palace in the future, if we have a headache and fever, and we are arranged to have a medical consultation with her, wouldn't we be putting our lives in her hands?" .Accidentally—" He made a beheading gesture, "Who can I talk to for explanation?"

After witnessing the other party's madness, Duan Xiaoyan felt that Lu Zhen could do anything.

There is a kind of quiet cruelty, "those who follow her will prosper and those who go against her will perish".

Pei Yunying sneered: "Send it off, I won't stop you."

With Pei Yunying's approval, Duan Xiaoyan went out happily, not knowing why he was so happy.

 In the room, Xiao Zhufeng looked at the person opposite him thoughtfully.

Pei Yunying raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

 “Aren't you going to stop it? Lu Huan is about to enter the medical hospital.”

Pei Yunying turned over a page of the scroll and replied absentmindedly: "I said I won't protect her."

 “You are already covering up.” Xiao Zhufeng reminded.

Pei Yunying raised her eyes and frowned slightly: "Why do I feel that you seem to be particularly concerned about her affairs."

Xiao Zhufeng sneered: "You are too irrational."

The young man put down the scroll in his hand, leaned back and looked out the window.

It's March, and the sycamore leaves in front of the palace are turning green again. When the wind blows, the green leaves rustle.

He looked at it for a while, then looked away, his eyebrows widened again, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

“It's best.” Xiao Zhufeng snorted, stood up and left the house. When he went out, he bumped into Qing Feng who was about to come in.

Qing Feng was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Xiao Zhufeng, and then said to Pei Yunying: "Mr. Xiao made him...not very happy."

Pei Yunying turned a blind eye and said, "Don't worry about him."

 Qingfeng was silent.

 Same, it's not the first time. Whenever Xiao Zhufeng and Pei Yunying had a disagreement and had no choice but to do so, they would just throw the thing down and walk away, silently expressing their opposition.

 One is unintimidated and the other goes his own way.

　　Everyone has always done his own thing.

Pei Yunying asked: "Have you found the thing?"

  Qing Feng: “I have found them all, and they are all good.”

Pei Yunying nodded: "Go and take it to Renxin Medical Center." "Yes."

The female medical doctor on West Street made a splash in the spring examination, overwhelming all the imperial medical bureaus and ranking first on the red list. This shocked the entire medical practice in Shengjing, and the Royal Pharmacy Hospital, Hanlin Medical Academy and the imperial medical bureau were all in chaos.

Some people were fawning after hearing the news, and some were hesitant in preparing gifts. However, the one who was most affected by the news was undoubtedly the arrogant mother of the young master of Taifu Temple.

"How is it possible? Cui Min accepted my gift, how could it be possible for Lu Zhen to enter the red list and still be the first?"

 In the flower hall, Mrs. Dong's face was full of anger, and the tea cup in her hand was thrown aside.

"Snapped!"

The finest blue and white porcelain cup with lotus pattern fell into pieces in an instant.

The person kneeling in the flower hall lowered his head and did not look at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground at his feet. He only held the wooden box in his hand forward and said respectfully: "The envoy of the hospital asked me to send the things back. I have failed my lady, please forgive me."

 “Excuse me?”

In the wooden box, there are two crisp inkstones on both sides and a box full of gold ingots, which are so bright that they are eye-catching.

Mrs. Dong smiled instead of being angry: "Since Cui Min is unwilling to acknowledge my Dong family's affection, the Dong family will not dare to accept this apology."

People who are familiar with her have obviously told her that Lu Zhuo's name is not on the red list this time, and Cui Min has already accepted the gift. Mrs. Dong had already arranged for Mrs. Wang to go to Renxin Medical Center to severely humiliate Lu Huan in order to avenge those gossipy women on West Street for slandering her son. Who knew that the red list would change at the last moment, and Lu Huan was not only on the list, but also It also became number one on the red list!

I don't know how many people in Shengjing City were laughing at the Dong family behind their backs.

It's really shameless!

There was nowhere to vent her anger. If Cui Min hadn't been the envoy of the Medical Officer's Hospital, Mrs. Dong would have wanted to go to the door in person to scold him for not keeping his word.

The maids in the flower hall kept their eyes and noses in check and did not dare to express their anger. However, the servant who came to deliver the message from the Medical Officer's Hospital paused: "Actually..."

 “Actually what?”

“Actually, it wasn't the envoy who put Lu Zong on the list because he didn't want to, but someone else.”

Mrs. Dong sneered: "Is Cui Min looking for a scapegoat to send me away?"

The man named Cui is the envoy of Hanlin Medical Academy, and he has to win the final spot for the spring examination. He is the only one who arranges for others. Could it be that the emperor is the one who can arrange for him?

 Mrs. Dong didn't believe a word of it.

 “It's a medical officer.”

Mrs. Dong was stunned.

 Medical Officer Ji...Ji Xun?

The servant in front of him lowered his body and put his head on the ground: "This year's question was given by Medical Officer Ji Xunji. Dr. Lu's answer to the examination paper was perfect. Therefore, Medical Officer Deji valued her and personally found her other test papers. Review them one by one.”

“Medical Officer Ji admired Dr. Lu very much and was full of praise, insisting that Dr. Lu should be ranked first. Chief Cui tried to stop her, but..."

"You know, Medical Officer Ji is very popular with the Holy Emperor, and his status in the court cannot be compared to that of the envoy. The envoy did not dare not listen to his words, so it was clear that the envoy Cui had crossed out Dr. Lu's name. In the end, Medical Officer Ji put him on the red list, and he became number one..."

A servant from the Medical Officer's Hospital said in panic: "Madam, that Dr. Lu will probably have to rely on Medical Officer Ji to support her in the future."

 Ji Xun becomes Lu Zhuo's backer?

Mrs. Dong took two steps back and sat back in her seat, with an uncertain look on her face.

She knew Ji Xun, and no one in the entire Shengjing Medical Clinic was familiar with Ji Xun's name. The talented young medical officer's family was full of scholars, but he devoted himself to studying medicine, and his medical skills were far superior to those of the older medical officers.

 When she first learned that this year's spring exam questions were written by Ji Xun, Mrs. Dong was secretly happy. She didn't doubt Ji Xun's ability. Lu Xun might not be able to answer Ji Xun's questions.

　　Unexpectedly, after going round and round, I actually made a wedding dress for Lu Zhen?

“Are you telling the truth?” Mrs. Dong was still doubtful.

Ji Xun is an arrogant and strict person, and everyone has heard of it. Why would he favor a small Pingren medical worker? Could it be that he was attracted by Lu Zhu's beauty?

Same, that woman is used to using her beauty to seduce men, first it was Pei Yunying, then her son, and now it's Ji Xun's turn. Mrs. Dong thought maliciously.

“It's absolutely true, if I deceive my wife, I will be struck by thunder and my soul will be driven away!”

Mrs. Dong frowned slightly: "Get up."

 Highly appreciated and full of praise?

These words sound particularly harsh.

 “What a Ji Xun!” Mrs. Dong said coldly.

 with the feudal grievances between the Taifu Temple Minister and Lu Xun, everyone in the medical practice knew that Ji Xun was helping Lu Xun in this way, just to become an enemy of the Dong family.

 Mrs. Dong's face darkened.

 For a time, the cool and handsome appearance of the young medical officer became disgusting.

 At night, the deep courtyard is extremely quiet.

 “Creak—” a sound.

 The door to the hospital was opened.

Someone quickly walked into the courtyard envoy's study and whispered to the people in the room: "Sir, I have brought the money and words."

Hearing this, the man sitting at the table with his eyes closed and concentrating suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of light and there was no trace of fatigue.

 “Okay.” Cui Min nodded, picked up a medical book on the table and flipped through it.

The long sleeves of his green shirt brushed across the table, like a blue cloud, simple and soothing.

The person at the table said: "Mrs. Dong was very angry. The younger one put the blame on Medical Officer Ji, but Mrs. Dong did not raise any suspicion."

Cui Min: "Yeah."

 The servant breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Xun was not well-liked in the Imperial Medical College. He also relied on his aloofness, making it difficult for others to approach him. These days, he was busy treating the old man in the imperial censor Zhongcheng's house, and he didn't come to the medical hospital at all. As long as Mrs. Dong didn't go to Ji Xun for personal verification, she wouldn't find out the clues - of course, given Mrs. Dong's habits, she wouldn't confront Ji Xun at all.

This Liangzi, Ji Xun was married to Cui Min and the minister of Taifu Temple.

Even though Ji Xun has never read Lu Zhuo's test papers.

but…

“Mr. Envoy, why did you add the medical woman's name to the final red list?” A confidant couldn't help but ask.

A medical official who is close to the Dong family reminded that Lu Zhuo's name was not on the spring examination list, which was actually a lie.

 Because at the beginning, Cui Min did cross out Lu Zhuo's name.

 In Lu In, although the forensic department was perfect, there were no flaws in other medical departments. If you really want to think about it, those little details are also the reasons for deducting points. Even if it is presented to the entire medical practice, there are enough reasons to stand up. No one will say that Cui Min judged the paper randomly.

But it happened that the night before the red list was released, Cui Min changed the red list again, and Lu Zhuo became famous.

 The confidants were puzzled. Lu Yan was just an ordinary medical woman with no identity or background at all. The hospital envoy clearly hates ordinary medical workers the most, so why did he risk offending the minister of Taifu Temple and add Lu Zhuo's name to the red list at the last moment?

 Still ranked first on the red list.

The lights are bright, and the middle-aged man's face is blurred into a layer of shadow under the dim yellow light, like a thin false shell.

The confidant gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to keep her?"
