Chapter Thirty-Eight: The First Meeting of the World Without Words
The morning sun is rising, when the horse-drawn carriage rolls over the grass with the morning dew on the country road, the cries and shouts of the morning market in Anyang City are also boiling one after another.
When Mai Dong carried the medicinal herbs that had been dried and bagged yesterday to the inner hall, he saw the carriage coming in from the corner gate of the medical hall and driving to the backyard.
He frowned, grabbed the big pillar that was sprinkled on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. didn't come back last night?"
Rao knew that Mai Dong had always been such an impulsive person, which was completely inconsistent with his name of being irritable, but Dazhu was still taken aback and almost lost the broom in his hand.
After standing firmly, Dazhu replied, "How can I know if I slept so early?
"Forget it, it's okay, sweep you. ”
knew that Dazhu was a fool, and Mai Dong regretted a little that he was telling him what he was doing. If he dares to ask Mr., and dares to go to the backyard with him at this time, isn't he looking for scolding?
Thinking of this, looking at the bag of medicinal herbs in front of him, he couldn't help scratching his head, and said in doubt:
"What the hell did you go out? I didn't come back all night, could it be that I went out of the emergency room? But doesn't my husband have a rule of not being able to see a doctor? Really, I don't understand it more and more...... No, I have to ask the old man who guards the door, if I am busy all night, I don't know if my husband will still see a doctor today. ”
Putting down the work in hand, Mai Dong trotted to the corner gate and whispered to the old man Wang who was smacking dry tobacco: "That was Mr. just now?"
"You kid, aren't you talking nonsense? No, sir, who can afford to sit in this car? That's from the owner. ”
The old king felt that Mai Dong was a little stupid today, who in this Jishi Hall didn't know that the car was given by the concubine in the palace, except for Mr. Where do others dare to sit?
"No, I mean, the gentleman just came back from outside, do you know where to go?"
Listening to Mai Dong's questions, the old king spit out a smoke ring, and the old god said leisurely on the ground: "The one who sent Mr. back seems to be someone from the second master's mansion." ”
"In the second master's mansion, but what happened to someone over there...... Shall we still open the door today?"
Mai Dong wanted to ask again, but was pushed away by the old king in disgust. He spit out his eyes and said, "How do I know about this, a janitor? Aren't you the attendant next to Mr.? You don't know, who knows? If you can't open the door, you don't ask Mr. what I'm doing?...... Don't get in the way, don't get in the way. ”
"Hey, you old man!"
was pushed by the old king's head, and Mai Dongden raised his voice. But when he thought of what the old king said, he slapped his head again: "Yes, you can ask Mr. about this!"
When he said this, he spread his feet and ran to the house in the backyard.
Seeing that Mai Dong rushed in like the wind without knocking on the door. Wuluo, who was wiping his hands, frowned: "What are you doing in a panic?"
"That. Sir, are we still open today?" was said by Wuluo, and Mai Dongden had a lot of rules, and hurriedly stood up.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's fifteen, right?" He put the towel on the shelf, turned to the screen, and began to change clothes.
"yes. Mai Dong nodded, he calculated the day most accurately.
"Then what are the rules for you to sue me for the free clinic in Jishitang?"
"The doctor does not sit in the consultation, the serious disease is consulted first, and the 15th day of the new year is regularly discussed. ”
"So you said you can't open the door today?"
"But the gentleman came back. Don't you need to rest?"
"You look at me like this, like you want to rest?" Buckling the tie around his waist, he instructed Mai Dong: "Go and help me change a basin of water, I want to clean my face." All the things that should be prepared are taken to the front hall, and since it is fifteen, it must be as before. ”
The door creaked, and the door of Jishitang opened from the inside, and the people waiting for the consultation had already lined up spontaneously.
According to the rules for patients to go to Jishitang for free consultation, patients with serious illnesses are on the left line, and those who often ask for consultation are in the right line, but those who cut the queue or stand in confusion will be disqualified from free consultation. Therefore, every day of free clinic, all people who seek medical advice will take the initiative to line up according to their actual situation.
Before, some people didn't believe in this evil and were kicked out on the spot, but after someone in the family really committed a bad illness and was carried to the door of Jishitang and not treated, there were no more unruly people.
Mai Dong moved out of the way, and the two teams of patients entered the hospital in order, but the place where Dr. Wuluo sat in the past was rarely empty.
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Mai Dong bowed to everyone and smiled apologetically: "Please wait a while, Mr. still has some things in his hands, and he will come soon." ”
As he spoke, he motioned to the guy on the side to go to the back and take a look.
But the guy wasn't fooled, and turned his face away and didn't see it.
Mr. was cleaning his face in the back room, and no one was allowed to approach, and Mai Dong himself didn't dare to go to his personal attendants, where did he have the guts?
"Don't be in a hurry, Brother Mai, let Mr. rest for a while. Seeing the looks of the two people, one of the people in the consultation team answered.
"yes, it's okay if we wait a little longer. The emergency column on the left also echoed it.
Hearing these words in his ears, Mai Dong was embarrassed, looked at the beads of sweat on the man's forehead, gritted his teeth, and then prepared to go to the backyard: "Wait a minute, I'll go see Mr." ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice came: "Sorry to keep you waiting." ”
Seeing that Wu Luo came in, Mai Dong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped him pull out the chair.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, but we're in trouble with the doctor. ”
"yes, it's our trouble. ”
Listening to the tolerant words of the crowd, the corners of his lips that were exposed to the outside couldn't help but curl slightly, and he gestured to the first patient on the left to reach out and listen carefully to his description of his symptoms.
From the very beginning of the consultation in Jishitang, everyone saw this black clothes, as well as the terrible gilded mask, all as if this was not a place to cure the sick and save people, but the hall of the Yama where the evil ghosts asked for their lives, only those who really looked down on the disease and were dead horses as live horse doctors dared to step into the door of Jishitang.
However, as this black-clothed and gold-faced doctor cured more and more incurable diseases, Jishitang's reputation gradually spread.
Especially later. When everyone gradually knew that this Wuluo doctor was the female doctor who rescued the Jin army from the epidemic with a green wood covering, that is, the personal disciple of the imperial concubine Niangniang in the palace now, and this Jishitang was set up by His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine Niangniang. The reputation of Jishitang resounded throughout Anyang and even the entire Jin Kingdom.
Just when other medical centers in Anyang City thought that Jishitang's identity and ability would be dominant, and even the entire medical community was in chaos, Jishitang unexpectedly posted a new rule:
On the 15th day of the first day of each month, free clinics are regularly delivered, but the doctor does not sit in the consultation, and the serious disease patients are consulted first;
On other days, I seek medical consultation, and I will pay 100 gold for a diagnosis of common diseases, and a thousand gold for serious diseases.
This goes down. The other medical centers in Anyang City are also relieved, not afraid that their business will be robbed, and they have fulfilled the original intention of the royal family to do good deeds. It's a win-win.
Rich people naturally don't drag their illness to treatment, but they don't want to spend too much money in vain, so most of the people who line up early on the fifteenth day of the new year are poor people. There are even those who wait outside the city early to open the city gate just to ask for medicine.
It's been a long time. After getting along, everyone mentions Jishitang and the Wuluo doctor here, and there is no one who is not applauded, so there will be such a wide and tolerant picture outside Jishitang today.
The daylight gradually shifted, and from early morning to noon, the whole street was hot, and the cicadas in the trees were also irritated. Rolled green leaves.
The carriage on the official road was rolling around, and finally stopped at a pavilion outside the gate of Anyang City.
"Mr. Shu. Childe came to pick us up!"
Jumping off his horse, Yang Cheng shouted happily at the carriage behind him, and then walked forward quickly, bowing on one knee to the young man standing in the pavilion.
"Get up. ”
Looking at Yang Cheng with a dusty face, Hua Chen stretched out his hand to help him, motioned for him to get up, and then walked out of the pavilion and stopped a few steps away from the carriage.
At this interval, Shu Yang, Yun Wan Yunqing and others had also come out of the car.
"A year apart, see you today, Mr. is willing to deign to come, Chen is very happy!"
Without waiting for Shu Yang to speak, Hua Chen first bent down towards Shu Yang and bowed, just like the master's gift when he entered the school, but where would Shu Yang really accept such a big gift from him, he avoided it sideways, and also bent over Hua Chen:
"If the appointment does not come for a long time, the sun is too much, Meng Gongzi will not give up, and he should do his best. ”
As he spoke, the two of them stood up straight at the same time, their eyes facing each other, and laughed loudly at the same time.
All the qiē seemed to be relieved in this moment of mutual gaze under this bright sun, and the rousing words of a year ago, the ambition of the youth, and the wish to change one's life with one's own talent and wisdom turned into pride and wanton in this look and smile, permeating the heat of the flowing fire June and the sound of the chirping cicadas.
The shade of the trees is cool, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the spots of light are like splendid flowers.
"These two are ......"
Looking at the two women beside Shu Yang, Hua Chen asked out loud.
"Yun Wan, Yun Qing. ”
Shu Yang named the names of the two, but did not reveal the identities of the two.
After hearing this, Hua Chen understood that these two people were the two people Yang Cheng said in the letter who were maids but not maids.
So he nodded at the second, which was considered a courtesy.
And facing the young man with a long body in front of him, Yun Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
I thought that my son was good-looking, but I didn't know that the legendary beautiful man in Anyang City was also so handsome. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are different from the gentleness of the child, but they have the handsome and hard spirit unique to young people, especially the demeanor and demeanor of the surrounding body, which make people yearn for this man who integrates brightness and handsomeness.
"This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Jin Kingdom today. ”
Saying that, Shu Yang introduced Hua Chen to Yun Wan and Yun Qing again, and seeing that Yun Qing was a little out of shape, he couldn't help coughing lightly.
"I've seen the three princes ......"
Hearing this, Yun Qing came back to her senses and saluted Yun Wan with a little shyness.
The difference is that Yun Qing secretly looks up from time to time to take another glimpse of her handsome face, while Yun Wan buries her head lower, and even her voice and body tremble slightly.
"You don't have to be so polite, just like them, just call me the third son. ”
Sweeping past the two of them, Hua Chen smiled kindly, and after finishing speaking, he looked away, obviously not caring about these two people.
Straightening up, Yun Wan realized that her hands were already covered with sweat.
Fortunately, the third prince did not recognize her......
Reaching out to stroke the scar on it, Yun Wan exhaled softly.
At the same time, Hua Chen also noticed that the junior sister of Shu Yang mentioned by Yang Cheng earlier did not appear.
But when he opened his mouth rashly to ask, it seemed extremely rude, and when he thought of the two foxes that the guard had said, he opened his mouth and asked:
"The rare spirit fox I saw at Mr. before, didn't come with me this time?"
Hearing Hua Chen's question, Shu Yang suddenly felt a little apologetic, and Yang Cheng and Yun Qing Yunwan on the side also noticed that they had never seen Luan Ge get out of the car.
Yun Qing was so angry that she looked straight at Yun Wan, at this time, Luan Ge's stinky girl was still putting on a score, this person was the third prince! If the third prince had a mustard with the master because of this, would she be burdened!
But Yun Wan met her eyes, but she just shook her head quietly, signaling her not to say more, so angry that Yun Qing had to turn her head away.
However, Shu Yang didn't seem to think so much, and arched his hand and said:
"Ah Lan and the junior sister under are now in the car, there was something happened last night, the junior sister has not rested because she is still asleep, because she can't bear to wake up, so she has not woken her up, and I hope that the son will forgive me. ”
Seeing this, Yang Cheng was also afraid that Hua Chen would be angry about this, so he hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't know, we were assassinated in the inn last night thanks to Miss Luange's help, and we tossed all night in the car before falling asleep, so it is inevitable that there will be some ......."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Chen with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't know that I would come at this moment, so I shouldn't care, I naturally understand Mr. Shu's intention to cherish my junior sister." ”
As he spoke, there was a little more teasing and banter in his eyes when he looked at Shu Yang.
The first time I saw him, and the goodbye was like a close friend, Hua Chen naturally would not be angry for this little thing, and even had a little curiosity and expectation for Luan Ge.
Hearing the joke in Hua Chen's words, Shu Yang smiled and didn't say much, but Yun Qing on the side was so angry that her mouth was pouting, looking at Shu Yang's face with a little more resentment, but in front of Hua Chen, she couldn't say anything, but the good impression she had just had for Hua Chen turned into dissatisfaction with his messy mandarin duck score.
At the end of the joke, Hua Chen's complexion gradually faded, and he invited Shu Yang and said: "Mr. has been bumpy all the way, and the sun is in full bloom here, so you might as well move to the car, go back to the house to rest first, and then Chen will pick up the wind and wash the dust with Mr. in the evening." ”
With this sound, everyone found that there were three carriages parked in the shade of the trees not far in front, the first one was slightly larger, although it was not luxurious and dazzling, but it was made of nan wood, restrained and elegant, revealing the simplicity, and the front of the car was carved with an orchid badge, which was obviously the car of the three princes themselves.
And after this car, there are two more beautiful and smaller carriages, obviously for the girl's family, don't think about it, you also know that one is for Luan Ge, and the other is for Yun Wan and Yun Qing.
Seeing this, even Yun Qing, who has always been insensitive to world affairs, felt that this third prince was delicate and thoughtful.
But this also makes people worry, Luan Ge is now asleep in the car, if she really wants to change the car, do you want to wake her up? But if you don't change the car, such a rented carriage will drive into the prince's mansion like this, but it will inevitably be a little unruly.
At this moment, I heard a shout and scolding from the car:
"Six taels, you dead fox!"
As he spoke, he saw an object rushing through the curtain and flying out of the car.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the car opened, revealing a woman in red with an angry face from within, but when she met everyone's eyes, she was stunned on the spot. (To be continued.) )
