Denghuaxiao Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Mr. Qi

Time flies by quickly, and it's April in the blink of an eye.

 The closer to the Qingming Festival, the more rain there is in Shengjing. It often rains at night, but it starts to get warm during the day. When it gets cool in the morning and evening, people are susceptible to wind and cold.

Many of the medical officers in the medical hospital also took leave due to cold. In the room, Cui Min coughed a few times, took a few sips of the medicinal tea on the table, and suppressed the itching in his throat.

 All diseases are prone to occur in spring, and Cui Min, the envoy of the hospital, is busier than usual. In addition to being on duty in the palace, he also encountered difficulties in the development of new prescriptions.

 When I think of Xinfang, I can't help but think of the new female medical officer.

Cui Min put down the tea cup and asked the person beside him: "How is Lu Zhu right now?"

That day, he ordered Lu Zhuo to go to Jin Xianrong for consultation, but was blocked by Pei Yunying. He thought he would give it up, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhuo invited himself to Jin Xianrong's house.

In fact, Cui Min doesn't care whether Lu Zhu can cure Jin Xianrong. He only needs to make Lu Zhu suffer a few mistakes in the medical hospital. People who are proud of their talents are always difficult to handle, not to mention... Hong Fangxu This incident has given people a glimpse of the deeper thoughts behind this woman's meek appearance.

 The hospital does not need minds, it only needs people who do things.

The person next to me replied: "Every day is still the same as usual. Mr. Jin didn't say anything good or bad."

Cui Min frowned slightly: "Nothing happened?"

 “Have never heard of it.”

Cui Min said nothing, his eyes darkened.

Jin Xianrong's lustful behavior has always been difficult to change. Even if he has a kidney sac disease now, he may not be able to stay calm. However, Lu Chen has been to the doctor several times, and it is incredible that he has not caused any romantic anecdotes.

 After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Where is Lu Zhen now?"

“Today is the day to go to see Mr. Jin. Medical Officer Lu went out early in the morning.”

At the other end, Lu Zhuo was getting out of the carriage carrying a medical box and looked up at the mansion in front of him.

 Si Lifu is located under the east corridor of the imperial city. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue often handle official documents here. This place is quiet and not far from the Dian Shuai's Mansion in Jingying, but the area is not as wide as the Dian Shuai's Mansion. At first glance, I thought it was the house of a wealthy family.

As soon as Lu Zong walked to the door, the hunchbacked boy next to Jin Xianrong came up to him: "Medical Officer Lu is here, please come in. Your Excellency has been waiting for you for a long time!"

 Lu Zhu nodded and followed the servant into the gate of Si Li's Mansion.

Si Li's Mansion does not look big from the outside, but it is almost magnificent inside. The porch is exquisite and the appliances are splendid. In front of the door is a screen wall carved from a single piece of nanmu, with a giant elephant carved on it, which means "the scene of peace".

 It is even more luxurious inside, with jade couches, fragrant tables, painted tables and golden tables. Those who know understand that this is a place where official business is handled, but those who don't know only fear that they have mistakenly entered the residence of a nobleman.

Jin Xianrong stood beside Lu Zhu with a smile, his drooped eyebrows raised again. He seemed to be in better spirits than before, and his face was much rosy.

He said happily: "Medical Officer Lu, since I took your medicine and took a few injections, I feel that my yang energy is sufficient these days, and the previous pain area is not so painful. I feel better in that area again in the morning. Is it better? ?”

"yes."

"Really? That's great!" Jin Xianrong looked delighted and excited, "I just said that there is no destiny for everyone, and my destiny should not be ruined." He also praised Lu Zhu, "Medical officer Lu is still superior in medical skills, better than the previous medical officer Those **** in the hospital are much better. I have only used a few medicines, and they are so effective. Medical Officer Lu has such medical skills. It is a pity to be a small medical officer in Hanlin Medical Academy. I think Cui Min is no more than that..."

Lu Zhuo listened to his praise absentmindedly. When he saw that there was no one else in the ceremony office except Jin Xianrong, he asked: "Is Mr. Jin the only one on duty here?"

Jin Xianrong smiled: "That's about it. Now that the Third Division has taken over power, the Household Department is just like a decoration. Except for the official, the rest of the Household Department also have idle posts. There are no official documents to deal with here on weekdays, that is, sitting around and sending out There are only a few people in a daze. Medical Officer Lu is coming today, so I will ask the rest of the people not to come over so as not to disturb Medical Officer Lu's consultation."

He thought carefully. Lu Yan lowered his eyes and walked a few more steps. He happened to reach the innermost room and glanced over. He couldn't help but pause in his steps.

This house is very exquisite.

 Different from the grandeur and wealth outside just now, this house looks more literate and elegant.

There is a red sandalwood screen inlaid with precious stones at the door. The screen is half opened, revealing a red sandalwood couch deeper inside. There are backrests and leather mattresses piled on top, as well as a purple bamboo incense table. On top of it are all the study utensils. At a glance, it is particularly elegant.

Lu Zhen stopped and asked Jin Xianrong beside him: "Is this your lord's room?"

"How can we?" Jin Xianrong said, "That's Mr. Qi's golden house."

 “Mr. Qi?”

"You are the young master in the residence of Grand Master Qi today." Jin Xianrong sighed, "Look at that gemstone screen. It costs three thousand taels of silver. Even I can't afford it. Yet they dare to put it in Si Li's Mansion like this. , and I'm not afraid of being taken away.”

Lu Zhen nodded: "Master Qi is very particular."

"Aren't you particular about it?" Jin Xianrong saw that Lu Yun seemed interested and took Lu Yun into the room to show her: "To drink tea, you must drink fine Jianzhou white tea. Since he arrived at Si Li Mansion, I have also tasted tea. A lot."

Then he pointed at the gilt double moth pattern incense burner on the table: "The incense I lit is Lingxi incense. Smell it, it's not cheap." After saying that, he picked out an incense pill from the small box next to it and handed it to Lu戈: "Medical officer Lu, take one back to try it out. Keep your mind calm. You can't buy it anywhere else."

 Lu Zhuo took the fragrant pill.

"There is also food and clothing...To be honest, the salary from the Ministry of Revenue is not enough for him to pay for tea every month. In terms of being particular, Mr. Qi is indeed the best."

 Perhaps he was a little jealous of Qi Yutai, and Jin Xianrong's words of praise also sounded a bit sour.

Lu Chen smiled, looked around, and asked curiously: "Is Mr. Qi not here today?"

"He has something to do today, so he won't come for now, but he will come at another time." Jin Xianrong said: "If he doesn't come, wouldn't it be a waste of famous incense and tea leaves?"

Lu Zhen nodded and said nothing more. Then he looked away and looked at Jin Xianrong: "Sir Jin, let's stop talking. I'd better give you the acupuncture first."

Jin Xianrong was stunned and trembled: "...Oh, okay, okay."

 Acupuncture should be applied later than usual on this day.

Jin Xianrong's condition has improved, and his prescription has been changed. The superficial symptoms of renal cystic carbuncle have been cured, but he still cannot have **** and must continue to be treated.

 When we returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital, it was almost evening.

　　After a few rains, the locust tree at the entrance of the medical hospital has lost a lot of its leaves, and some new green branches and buds have grown. The sunset in the sky slowly passed over in the distance, illuminating the courtyard with a soft orange-red color.

 Lu Zhen met Ji Xun at the entrance of the hall of the medical hospital.

The young man is dressed in a plain white robe with silver edges, and his hair is **** in a high bun. The glow in the courtyard falls on him, making his features look particularly noble and elegant, like a hermit in the mountains.

It is not that there are no young men in the Medical Bureau, but the young men who have just graduated from the Imperial Medical Bureau are a little more impetuous after all. This man is very young, but he does not have the slightest air of arrogance. He is as calm as a piece of cold jade, which always makes people feel peaceful.

Lu Zong stopped and nodded to him and saluted: "Medical Officer Discipline."

Ji Xun nodded.

He was followed by the little medicine boy, who seemed to be going home. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Yan and asked, "Is Mr. Jin getting better?"

Nowadays, not only the people in the Medical Official Hospital, but also the Imperial Pharmacy Hospital know about the fact that Lu Zhen is treating Jin Xianrong, the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Jin Shilang's serious illness is difficult to cure, but fortunately, after taking medicine for a long time, he has gradually improved. Given time, he may not be able to return to his former self."

Ji Xun nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly called her: "Medical Officer Lu."

 Lu Tong responded.

He said: "The day I met you before, you went to the medicine store to select medicinal materials. Have you ever used red fragrant catkins?"

　　　 Lu Tong.

  She raised her eyes and met Shang Ji Xun's inquiring eyes.

Ji Xun was born upright.

There is always a solitary and cold look between the eyebrows, like a blue crane passing through the forest, and a nobility that is incompatible with the world.

He stared at Lu Yun, his eyes as calm as water. Different from Pei Yunying's sharp and sharp eyes, Ji Xun's eyes were lighter. When he stared at people seriously, he did not feel oppressive. However, being stared at by that clear gaze, The darkness in people's hearts seems to have become unspeakable.                                                                                                                                                                                                            going going to make people feel my own unworthiness.

Lu Tong paused, smiled slightly, and said: "Medical Officer Ji is joking, Hongfang Xu is unique to the Imperial Pharmacy. The medicinal materials are precious, and the Medical Officers' Academy has a quota for their use. Ordinary medical officers cannot get Hongfang." It's fluffy.”

 “I have never used Hongfangxu.”

She said very definitely. Ji Xun's eyes stayed on her face for a while and nodded: "That's right."

Lu Zhuo stood for a moment longer. Seeing that Ji Xun had nothing else to explain, he saluted him and carried the medical box into the yard.

After she left, Ji Xun still stood there, lowering his eyes and thinking in silence.

That night he met Lu Huan. At that time, he happened to catch a glimpse of what seemed to be red fragrant catkins and residual leaves in Lu Huan's bamboo basket.

Hongfangxu is poisonous. Except for the medical staff of the Royal Pharmacy Hospital, the medical officers of the Medical Official Hospital cannot use it at will.

He knew that Lu Zhen was currently treating Jin Xianrong, but because Jin Xianrong had a renal cyst, there was no need for Hongfang Xu. This medicinal material is special. If it weren't for the way Lu Zong used it to remove the toxicity of the branches and leaves, the medical officers at the Medical Officer's Hospital would actually have banned the use of this poisonous herb.

 When it comes to poisons, we should be more vigilant.

 But Lu Zhen said that he had never used it...

The medicine boy's warning voice came from the side: "Sir, the carriage is waiting at the door."

Ji Xun came back to his senses and said, "Let's go."

 Perhaps he saw it wrong.

  The meeting with Ji Xun at the entrance of the medical hospital in the evening was not taken to Lu Xun's mind.

 After dinner, she went to the pharmacy to make medicine.

 There is a row of empty pharmacies in the back corridor of the Medical Officer's Hospital for these medical officers to make medicine and develop new prescriptions.

However, there are very few medical officers who can make new medicines and develop new prescriptions, so apart from boiling medicines, the pharmacies are empty most of the time.

Since Lu Zhuo arrived, the row of empty medicine shops have been lit up at night. The medical envoys at the Medical Officer's Hospital all said that the newly arrived medical officer Lu was conducting consultations with Jin Xianrong, the Minister of Household Affairs, and received many patients. It's really pitiful that someone who is easy to take care of has to work hard every night.

Lu Zhen didn't feel sorry for himself.

She likes to stay in the pharmacy and to be with the fragrance of the medicine. Compared with dealing with all kinds of people in the medical hospital, the deserted pharmacy is more reassuring.

 It always feels reassuring when you get closer to your goal little by little.

The clear night is bright, and the crescent moon is reflected in the treetops outside the window, making it clear and bright.

The bright moonlight lingered on the skirts of the people in the room, swaying into shadows on the ground. The shadow on the ground reached out and put a large bunch of red herbs into the jar, and a quiet fragrance gradually overflowed from the jar.

Accompanied by layers of pink haze.

Lin Danqing came here once on the way, took a look out of the window from a distance, and went back when he saw the smoke.

Lu Zhen sat quietly in front of the medicine jar. The silver jar was filled with various brown juices. The strong fragrance surrounded her, making her shadow looming in the smoke, like an illusory painting. After an unknown amount of time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the muddy juice in the medicine jar turned black at some point and solidified at the bottom of the jar.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and looked out the window.

The moon moved a few feet away, and the courtyard was completely silent, with only a few low frog calls floating in the wind.

 It's already the third watch.

Lu Tong turned around. In the charcoal pot at his feet, the residue of the medicinal materials had been burned cleanly. Next to the silver pot, there were still a few scattered flower branches. The branches and leaves were green and beautiful, and the red flowers dotted among them were as bright as blood.

 She leaned down, picked up the broken branches on the ground, and threw them into the embers of the fire.

 The lights in the house flickered.

When Lu Zhen returned to the dormitory room, Lin Danqing was still reading under the lamp.

Seeing her coming back, the girl stretched and said, "I'm finally back." Then she joked, "Sister Lu, you work really hard. No wonder you got the first place on the red list in the spring exam."

Lu Zhen just smiled.

Having said that, Lin Danqing actually works hard himself. The two of them shared a room, and Lu Chen would often see Lin Danqing reading medical books late into the night.

Different from Lu Zhen, who entered the medical hospital for an ulterior motive, Lin Danqing's family background is not bad, but he is not slacking off either.

Lu Zong sat down at the table, took off his hairband and combed his hair, and glanced at the medical book in front of Lin Danqing, which was the section "Various Poisons" in "Mingyi Medical Classic".

His eyes moved, and before Lu Zhuo could speak, he saw Lin Danqing holding her chin and looking at her: "Sister Lu, why do you think your medicine is so perfect?"

 Lu Zhen was puzzled: “What?”

 “'Spring Water Born' and 'Slim'!”

The girl looked at her with her face in her hands: "After the spring exam, I was curious about you, thinking about which genius could surpass me and get the first place on the red list. Later I learned that you were a doctor at Renxin Medical Center, and After I heard about you, I asked someone to buy these two sets of medicine."

“I can't identify all of this recipe, but just the few flavors I can identify already make me feel that the combination is exquisite.”

"To be honest, I was very jealous of you before that." Lin Danqing said generously, "Later I looked at the two medicines and realized that I was indeed worse than you. I also heard that you are an average person... we In the Liang Dynasty's medical field, most of the medical books were under the control of the Imperial Medical Bureau. If an ordinary person wanted to get ahead in the medical field, he either had to practice medicine for many years and had extensive experience, or he was a genius.”

Lu Tong was silent: "I'm not."

 “That's you!” Lin Danqing slapped the table, “This way I won't lose unfairly.”

 Lu Zhen said nothing.

She sighed again: "Later, I gradually started to think about it. My background is better than yours, and my family treats me well. I have never suffered much since I was a child. My ancestors said that good things in the world are always bad. One person will take it all."

"One spring exam is nothing. Maybe I will surpass you in the year-end official assessment in the future." She spoke with a lot of fighting spirit, but her tone was a little low. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and her expression was a little confused.

 Most people in the world are unhappy. A seemingly heartless girl like Lin Danqing may have something on her mind that cannot be explained to outsiders.

Lin Danqing yawned and looked back at Ke Lu: "Oh, it's already the third update."

"It's getting late, so let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow." She picked up the medical book and went to the couch in the outhouse.

Lu Zhen was the only one left in the room.

In the copper lamp on the table, there was only a shallow layer of oil and it was about to burn out. The flickering flame was not bright enough, and the shadows of people were reflected intermittently.

Lu Zong took out a fragrant pill from the silver jar he just brought back.

It is a dark brown fragrant pill. Before you get close, you can smell a faint fragrance.

During the day, Jin Xianrong handed the incense pill to her hand and told him that Qi Yutai was very particular about food and clothing: "The incense I ordered is Lingxi incense. Smell it, and it's not cheap to burn it."

Lingxi incense calms the mind and is commonly used to soothe the mind and regulate emotions. Qi Yutai does not use other incense and only loves Lingxi incense, which is different from other wealthy people.

but…

Lu Zong picked up the fragrant pill. The light shined through the fragrant pill. When he looked carefully, he could see the faint red color in it. It was not real. Without getting so close, it would be difficult to detect the clues.

 Emotions are inherently subtle, and a slight error can make the difference a thousand miles.

Late in the dormitory late at night, the woman was sitting in front of the mirror. She didn't know what she was thinking of. The corners of her lips curved into a sarcastic smile.

After a long time, she took the medical box on the side, opened it, and put the fragrant pill in.

 Jin Xianrong: My second-generation rich colleague and I who drive a Porsche but earn a salary of 2,000 yuan (not
