Chapter 194 Store Celebration

 It’s summer and the sun is scorching.

There were not many pedestrians on West Street in the afternoon, but there was not much noise under the plum tree at the entrance of Renxin Medical Center.

 There was a pile of worn-out junk gathered in front of the door. Du Changqing held a rough drawing and discussed with Yin Zheng where to place the new medicine cabinet in front of the door while waving the fan.

The shoe repairman's family next door moved out of West Street, and the original shop became vacant.

Since Xinglin Tang closed its doors, only Renxin Medical Center’s pharmacy remained on West Street. Miao Liangfang's medical skills are much better than those of Zhou Ji who worked at Xinglin Hall in the past. He is also considerate of the people's hardships and picks up cheap medicinal materials. After a month, sometimes there were too many people, and long queues formed at the door, and the original small medical clinic seemed cramped.

It happened that the shoe repairman was about to move out, so Du Changqing rented the shop next door and opened it up. Renxin Medical Center was suddenly much spacious.

Acheng was walking from a distance carrying several bottles of **** honey water. He happened to see a carriage stop at the entrance of Renxin Medical Center. The curtain of the carriage was lifted. Acheng took a closer look and shouted: "Doctor Lu!"

 Several people in the hospital turned their heads at the same time.

 Lu Zhuo jumped out of the carriage.

As soon as he stood still, before he could speak, a beautiful figure passed before his eyes. Yin Zheng hugged her and jumped and laughed: "Girl, why did you come back suddenly without saying anything in advance!"

"Xiao Lu is back?" Miao Liangfang stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan and hurriedly walked out of the bed with a walking stick.

Lu Zhen got out of the car, and the coachman also got out to help unload the things on the car.

Du Changqing was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing and asked in surprise: "...it's not even the tenth day off, has the Medical Officer's Hospital given you a day off?"

 Lu Zhen nodded vaguely.

 That is so. The owner folded the drawings and put them in his arms, then followed him into the back room and hummed: "It's surprising that this will surprise people... Go in and drink some water first, look at how hot it is!"

Lu Chen walked in as he was told, and everyone followed him in. Only Miao Liangfang's eyes fell on the luggage unloaded from the carriage outside the door, and a trace of doubt flashed across his expression.

After entering the house, Acheng handed a tube of the sweet syrup he had just bought to Lu Chen. Lu Meng sat down at the table in the shop. The shop was much cooler than outside, and the strong aroma of the medicine made people feel at ease.

Miao Liangfang leaned against the medicine cabinet, fanning her, and said, "Xiao Lu comes back this time with more baggage than last time. Is the medical hospital on holiday?"

Yin Zheng's eyes lit up: "Is the girl going to stay in the hospital for a few more days this time?"

Lu Zong took a sip of sweet syrup. The cold sugar water dispelled the summer heat. She lowered her head and said, "I will stay in the hospital for three months."

Everyone was stunned.

Miao Liangfang stopped shaking the fan and said tentatively: "But this is fake..."

 “It’s not Xiu Mu, I’m suspended.”

 The room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Du Changqing took out his ears and asked Acheng doubtfully: "Did I hear wrongly? What did Doctor Lu just say?"

 “I have been suspended.” Lu Yan emphasized again.

This time he was heard clearly. Yin Zheng put down the bamboo tube in his hand and said blankly: "...Why?"

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, but his tone remained calm, "I privately checked the drug list issued by the Medical Office to the Imperial Pharmacy. I violated the order, so I was suspended from work for three months."

Du Changqing turned to look at Miao Liangfang: "Is there still such a rule?"

Miao Liangfang stroked his beard and thought: "Vaguely... it seems... it seems... there is indeed such a thing."

"No." Du Changqing glanced at Lu Huan angrily: "Then why are you looking at that thing in a hurry?"

 “Just curious.”

"Why are you so curious..." He wanted to chatter a few more words, but was interrupted by Acheng: "Doctor Lu, will you return to the medical hospital after three months? It's just a suspension without any other punishment, right? I listen. You said you made a mistake in the imperial city and you were going to be beaten. Did they beat you? "

 Lu Zhuguan'er: "No, just suspended."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Zheng thought for a while: "If you are suspended, just suspend your job. It's a matter of three months' salary. I'll ask shopkeeper Du to make up for it later. Originally, even if the girl didn't reply, I wanted to send a message to the Medical Officers' Hospital in a few days. , I want to ask the girl to come back."

 “Why?”

"In five days, it will be the 50th anniversary of the opening of Renxin Medical Center. Shopkeeper Du rented the adjacent shop and opened it. He has been busy decorating it these days, waiting for the day when it will open. The girl came back at the right time. The doctor The girl has contributed a lot to the success of the museum. If we want to celebrate, how can we miss out on the heroes? "

Du Changqing listened coldly and snorted: "What? It sounds to me like Dr. Lu is the boss?"

Yin Zheng akimbo: "Without girls, Shopkeeper Du's medical clinic can only hold a celebration banquet for forty-nine years at most."

"Hello!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Miao Liangfang raised his hand to stop their quarrel, "Since Xiao Lu is back, let's stay in peace. Sometimes I feel too busy when I sit alone in the restaurant, so you just happened to step in for me. After that The house still needs to be tidied up. This time I will stay longer. Let’s see what Xiaolu needs. I’ll make up for it in the next few days.”

Hearing this, Yin Zheng clasped her hands together and said, "That's right. Then I'll go and tidy up the house for the girl first. Girl," she lifted the felt curtain and told Lu Zhuo, "You just came back, rest in the shop first and wait for me." Make the bed and come in."

 Lu Tong responded.

Du Changqing asked a few more questions, but when he saw that Lu Zhuo was not very interested, he didn't ask further questions and took Acheng to go next door to clean up again - the shoemaker's shop had just been vacated, and the medicine cabinets, tables and chairs had to be rearranged.

Lu Zhuo sat at the table, slowly drinking the sweet syrup in his hand. There were no patients in the back shop at the moment. Miao Liangfang took two steps towards the chair in the medicine cabinet, then suddenly turned around and limped. He walked over and sat down opposite Lu Yan.

“Xiao Lu,” he looked at Lu Yan and lowered his voice: “Tell me honestly, does the reason why you were suspended have anything to do with me?”

　　　 Lu Tong has a meal.

Miao Liangfang stared at her nervously.

 He always felt something was wrong.

Lu Zhen has always been cautious and cautious in doing things. He is not an impulsive person. Why would you go to see the medicine list of the Royal Pharmacy without any reason? There must be something hidden in it.

Du Changqing and Yinzheng didn't ask because they knew that even if they asked, Lu Yan wouldn't go into details. She rarely talked about her own affairs.

 But what happened in the imperial city is not something that a small medical clinic on West Street can inquire about at will.

The envoy of the medical hospital is Cui Min, and it was also Cui Min who suspended Lu Zhuo for three months...

 He could only think of this.

 The sweet syrup mixed with crushed ice in a bamboo tube is held in the palm of the hand, and the palm becomes cold. Lu Yan said: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Miao."

 “Xiao Lu, please don’t trick me.”

"it is true."

She smiled and said, "I just made a small mistake unintentionally, so I was suspended from my job for three months. Mr. Miao also knew that if I really committed any unforgivable crime, as an ordinary person, I would not just be suspended from my job." Simple."

Miao Liangfang was speechless.

This is indeed true.

"Nowadays, the Medical Officer's Hospital is busy with affairs and is short of manpower. Don't worry, Mr. Miao. I'm just staying here temporarily. Maybe before March, someone from the Medical Officer's Court will come to invite me back."

"Nonsense," Miao Liangfang was amused by her, and her worries had dissipated a lot. "Those people have eyes on the top of their heads. How could they lower their status and take the initiative to invite you back?"

Lu Zhen was silent and lowered his head to take a sip of the sweet syrup in front of him.

 She made such a scene in the medical hospital. No matter whether anyone believed it or not, it had exposed the most hidden secret in Cui Min's heart.

If it were the past, Cui Min would not have spared her lightly.

 However, it is now.

Qi Yutai has just recovered from epilepsy, and Cui Min himself is not sure whether Qi Yutai will suffer from epilepsy again. If Qi Yutai suffers from epilepsy again, whether the previous prescriptions can still be used.

 If it can’t be used, who will he find to clean up the mess?

Ji Xun was from a noble family and had extraordinary talents. Cui Min felt inferior and arrogant in front of him. He would not bend down to Ji Xun, so he could only use himself as an ordinary person.

 Only among ordinary people of the same origin, he has a strong sense of superiority and control. As an unexpected back-up, Cui Min will never give up easily. Even after three months, he did not dare to expel himself from the Medical Officer's Hospital.

 A mediocre person with no real talent and knowledge has used his methods to reach his current high position. No matter how indifferent he appears, he has a guilty conscience deep down.

 Birds that fly high will die from delicious food; fish from deep springs will die from fragrant bait.



She put down the bamboo tube in her hand and asked, "Did the sweet syrup shop in front of you change people?"

"Yes." Miao Liangfang was stunned, "How do you know?"

Lu Xu lowered his head, looked at the clear water in the bamboo tube, and smiled.

 “Sweeter than usual.”

 …

 The bamboos shake clear shadows, and the sun sets at dusk.

It was already evening when Ji Xun returned to the medical hospital.

At this time, the medical officers all went to have dinner, and there was no one in the grove.

Ji Xun entered the medicine room and picked up an iron box from the bookshelf.

It is said to be an iron box, but it is actually more like an iron box, not too big. The lid of the box is open, and there are five or six volumes of letters inside, all of which are somewhat damaged.

 He ​​raised his hand, took several volumes of medical books on the table and carefully put them into the box, closed the lid of the box, and hung a small lock. Behind him, medicine boy Zhuling sat on a small teapot, holding her chin up and shaking her head as she watched.

Our young master has a good character and a kind heart. Anyone who looks at him will say that he is a good person. Why does he have such an unusual way of thinking when it comes to interacting with others?

Let’s talk about the new medical officer, Medical Officer Lu. A few days ago, Zhuling accidentally learned that Medical Officer Lu was the poor girl that her son accidentally saved when passing through southern Jiangsu. She was also very surprised.

There is such a connection!

The Lu medical officer not only recognized the young master, but also returned the personal jade pendant that the young master left behind. Zhuling was very excited when she saw it.

 

 Zhuling waits quietly for good things to happen.

Who knew that Ji Xun's behavior was beyond Zhuling's expectations.

Maybe it was the guilt caused by the previous misunderstanding of Lu Zhen, or maybe it was the past of Su Nan that made Ji Xun get closer to Lu Zhen. In short, Zhuling could feel that the young master was very considerate and special to this medical officer Lu, at least except for medical books and pharmacology. , this Lu medical officer can arouse the prince's emotions, sorrow and joy.

Ji Xun began to search for medical books and sent them to Lu Xu.

Every once in a while, Lu Zhuo is asked to go to his pharmacy to discuss pharmacology.

  Zhu Ling simply collapsed.

Isn’t this really an advance official assessment?

Even though there could have been some beautiful and tender moments between the two of them, in this situation they disappeared in an instant.

How is this different from enrolling in the Imperial Medical Bureau?

My young master doesn’t think that Medical Officer Lu really likes it, does he?

He sighed and heard Ji Xun's voice in his ear: "Why hasn't Doctor Lu come yet?"

Today is the day when Lu Tong comes to receive a new medical certificate. Ji Xun specially found a few books for her that were not available in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and there were also notes written by him.

 But the time has passed and Lu Zhuo still hasn’t appeared.

Ji Xun said: "Go to the pharmacy and ask."

    Bamboo Ling is called.

About half a cup of tea later, Zhu Ling ran back out of breath. She ran to the door of the medicine room and shouted: "Sir, something happened!"

 “What’s the matter?”

“I just went to see Medical Officer Lu, but I couldn’t find anyone. The medical officer in the front office told me that Medical Officer Lu was suspended for three months because he framed the hospital envoy and secretly read the medicine orders. He left the Medical Officer’s Hospital in the afternoon!”

Ji Xun stood up suddenly.

"What?"

 …

 “What? Medical Officer Lu has been suspended?”

Someone in the palace commander's house raised his head in surprise.

Duan Xiaoyan's eyes widened: "You can't lie to others, can you?"

Lu Zhen has always been meticulous, and the King of Hell is no match for her. He actually just obeyed and was suspended from the Medical Officer's Hospital. No matter how I heard it, it felt untrue.

As he was talking, gardenia chirped several times in the yard, in a cheerful tone.

Pei Yunying opened the door curtain and walked in.

"elder brother-"

 Duan Xiaoyan quickly stood up.

Pei Yunying is very busy these days.

The locust plague in southern Jiangsu, the rebellion in Qishui, which is close to southern Jiangsu, the overt and covert fights between the third prince and the prince...all the court affairs were piled up together. Sometimes Pei Yunying would not return until late at night as soon as he entered the palace. Duan Xiaoyan hasn't seen him for a few days.

Pei Yunying put down the silver knife, glanced at Qing Feng standing in the room, turned around and sat down at the table.

 “Why are you standing here stupidly?”

 “Master, something happened.”

Pei Yunying looked at him.

Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "Medical Officer Lu left the Medical Officer's Hospital today and went back to West Street."

He paused, his eyes suddenly sharp: "What's going on?"

Qingfeng then recounted everything that happened in the medical hospital during the day.

After listening to it, before Pei Yunying could say anything, Duan Xiaoyan shouted: "I see, this Cui Min is clearly a thief with a guilty conscience!"

Pei Yunying glanced at him, and Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly lowered his voice: "Qi Yutai is a lunatic to begin with, and the person named Cui is not necessarily very capable. It is not impossible to steal Dr. Lu's official prescription and use it to please the Imperial Palace."

“I don’t think Medical Officer Lu made a false accusation, and what he said is the truth. It’s just that he speaks lightly and no one believes it.”

Pei Yunying's eyes were dark, and he suddenly stood up and picked up the silver knife on the table, as if he was about to go out.

“Brother, are you going to stand up for Medical Officer Lu?”

Duan Xiaoyan's face was full of excitement and he was gearing up: "Take me with you. Doctor Lu has made so many food pills for me. I am also a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Pei Yunying ignored him and was about to make a move when he thought of something and stopped.

After a while, he put down the silver knife and sat down on the chair again.

 “Huh?” Duan Xiaoyan was confused, “Why don’t you go?”

Pei Yunying remained silent for a while, then said, "Don't go either."

Lu Zhen has always had his own opinions on things, and he may have other plans for this move.

 Before you know her plan clearly, it is best not to act rashly, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

Fingertips stroked the scabbard of the silver sword. The pattern on the scabbard was cold and sharp, reflecting the young man's slightly lowered eyes.

 Let’s wait until we meet in person.
