Chapter 34: The Tai Hospital (Part II)

After Su Huihui and Ling Yang left, the lobby of the Tai Hospital exploded like firecrackers to discuss the medical officers.

"Hey, Brother Liu, you were born in Xichuan, Yongzhou, have you heard that your Su family has been prosperous recently?" asked an imperial doctor with a blazing eye.

"Nope...... However, the virtuous brother also knows that the foolish brother has been dragging his family to Beijing for many years, and he can't say what is going on in his hometown. The eldest imperial doctor stroked a handful of beautiful hair and pondered for a while, "But a few days ago, when Lord Yuan was in a hurry to leave, I heard about ......."

When he looked up, six or seven pairs of eyes were all staring directly at him, and he smiled meaningfully: "It's all in a hurry, it's useless!"

The imperial doctor who provoked the conversation hurriedly said: "Say it quickly! Don't sell it!"

Imperial Doctor Liu said with satisfaction: "I heard from Neizi that the full moon wine of the grandson of the Su family's eldest house was smashed by the in-laws, and people thought that they were always asking for money from their husbands, and the dowry was not enough. ”

One of the officials was stunned: "Ahh

"You also know that now the imperial historians are very strict with the government, and the government does not dare to be partial, and orders the Su family to lose money. Alas, it's really a bad thing that the doctor and the businessman actually got together......" he sneered twice, "Neizi's new clothes were sent to the capital by the county magistrate with the filial piety of the Su family, and it is not unreasonable for my Liu family to press on their heads for decades." There is only one old lady who has worked as an errand boy in the Tai Hospital, and one generation is not as good as the next, and it is still prosperous? Impossible!"

Everyone sighed, and another official interjected: "It's not the Xichuan Su family, is it from Meiling?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense," the round-faced imperial doctor next to him looked disdainful, "Meiling Su has almost fallen decades ago, if someone in their clan can run to the Tai Hospital overnight to drink, our Zhang family will already be on the rise, and I can still be just a ......"

Imperial Doctor Liu glared at him: "Hairless boy on his mouth, don't talk less!"

He searched in his mind for a while, and said, "I don't know about the big doctors surnamed Su in other places, do you have a clue?"

The seven people all shook their heads and said, "I haven't heard of it, just these two small places." ”

Imperial Doctor Liu sneered: "It won't be the closed disciple of a master outside the world, tomorrow the right court of the division will be sentenced to be on duty, I want to ask her if she is suitable for the background, and she can let His Majesty be the guarantor." ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was reprimanded, echoed: "Lord Liu, in those few days, Imperial Doctor Yu was in the official office, but he saw that Lord Yuan and Master Su were summoned by His Majesty, this kid has always been a saw-mouthed gourd, and he didn't say a word after he came back, but I was afraid that Fu Duzhi had told him." Tomorrow he will return to the official office, and I will ask him carefully. ”

The first to speak, the imperial physician Wang, said again: "When Ling Yang came, he said that he had the permission of the court envoy and Fu Duzhi, and he could enter the palace with the judgment of the left court half an hour later. Although he has always been noble, he is so close to Master Su at this time, and he must have twice as many things in his heart as we do. ”

Everyone was jealous and curious, and each was secretly pondering, when the last imperial doctor, who remained silent, spoke softly:

"This Su court judgment doesn't look like a ......"

Imperial Doctor Liu was the first to say: "What Xiao Zhou said is that I just looked at her face, and it is indeed slightly different from us who were born and raised in the Central Plains. ”

"Then the Su Yuan's verdict may come from outside the Guan, how many generations are Hu people?" The officials on the side frowned contemptuously, and said, "Hu people......"

Imperial Doctor Liu scolded with a smile: "What about the Hu people? Isn't it that he was carried to the south hall by His Majesty! ”

As he was talking, the door creaked open, and an old man with a childish face stepped in, who was the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.

The medical officers hurriedly left their seats, and before they were halfway bent at the waist, Zhang Songnian said loudly:

"It's all free. As soon as Master Su leaves, your voices here will tear off the roof, and you won't be heard by the Ministry of Rites next door? ”

Imperial Doctor Liu said with a smile: "What the lord said is, how can the envoy of the hospital have time to come to the official office today?"

Zhang Songnian squinted his eyes slightly, yawned, and wrapped his white beard around his hand: "The old man is free." originally thought that he would be able to catch up with the new court to judge Liwei, but he overslept. What about Xiao Ling?

Imperial Doctor Liu was stunned for a moment: "Didn't the imperial envoy ask Imperial Doctor Ling to show Master Su the way?"

"Oh, look at the old man's memory. It was Lord Si who heard that Xiao Ling and Master Su were neighbors of the official house, so he asked the child to take more responsibility and tell Lord Su about the rules of the palace. ”

Everyone was silent, and they guessed that Master Si had grievances, and the old man was sentenced by the right court when he entered the door, which was really deaf and clear-sighted.

Imperial Doctor Liu had no choice but to say: "Master Si is bothered, what should have been done by us, he couldn't be more thoughtful." ”

Zhang Songnian rarely appeared in the official office, and it was rare to come here, and no one believed that he was just here to see the excitement.

Imperial Doctor Zhang couldn't hide his words, so he leaned forward and asked:

"Master Zhang, the new court sentenced young and talented people, which makes us ashamed. I don't know ......."

Zhang Songnian laughed and said: "The female medical officer of the Tai Hospital is not nothing, family background, teacher, resume, you boys just ask yourself! The old man told you that His Majesty's choice is reasonable, and let me catch more mouths in the future, but it is not something that my old bones can afford!"

Imperial Doctor Zhou in the corner of the wall said faintly: "The judge of the Zuo Yuan himself said that he had been the deputy envoy of the Chengnan Pharmacy before. ”

Zhang Songnian saw that the people around him didn't speak, and frowned: "What's wrong with Huimin Pharmacy? You have been in this feng shui treasure at the feet of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and you have forgotten how to write the word Chengnan?

As soon as these words came out, even the dullest people could notice that something was wrong. Si Yan is the ambassador of the pharmacy, and he is above Su Huihui's deputy envoy, but in Tai Hospital, the judgment of the right court is not as good as that of the left court. The delicate relationship between the two is avoided consciously or unconsciously, and when it is put on the bright side, it suddenly makes people want to see the scene of the two sitting in the same room.

It should be exciting.

Zhang Songnian interrupted the medical officers' reverie: "Imperial Doctor Liu, accompany me to Lord Yuan's house to have a look." Alas, the old man was really a little reluctant, so he left. He muttered, reaching out for the Imperial Doctor to help.

Imperial Doctor Liu had an idea, and stepped forward to support the old man: "You slow down." ”

There was silence in the South Hall.

Zhang Songnian took out the key and said to Imperial Doctor Liu without looking back: "Wait here." ”

Imperial Physician Liu obediently stood under the apricot tree and waited.

In the middle of the night, the envoy came out of the house with a few yellowed books, and he said in his heart that he didn't ask when to ask at this time, and said boldly:

"What do you think of this, Lord Envoy?"

Zhang Songnian's eyelids were raised, and he looked at the rustling dead trees and said slowly:

"Your Majesty is still too young. ”

Imperial Doctor Liu didn't know what he was referring to, and he couldn't take a step there. After a while, he said:

"Master Su's demeanor is indeed good......"

Zhang Songnian hated the iron and struck him on the head with a cane: "What are you thinking about all day long? No wonder you are still an imperial doctor for so many years!"

Su Hui, the duty office in the palace, went to the palace, but it was night, and he didn't pay much attention to the location, Ling Yang led her to the west of the palace city, and was called by a small yellow gate, saying that it was the princess What happened to Her Royal Highness, and verified his complaint a moment ago.

Su Hui, the left-behind imperial doctor on duty, was familiar with him, so he waited for the other party to speak first.

Yu Shouzhong, the imperial doctor of the acupuncture department who performed the acupuncture for today ten days ago, bowed down and congratulated the new hospital on his appointment, Su Huihui didn't remember him much, but he was deeply impressed by Su Huihui. Few medical officers dared to say such a risky method directly in front of Lu Fu and the two Duzhi, not to mention that Su Huihui was not an imperial doctor, but a doctor from Chengnan who was picked up halfway.

Yu Shouzhong is dedicated to medical skills, he is a rare honest man, woody and wood-brained, and he is really not suitable for being an errand in the palace. Although he was surprised by Yuan Xing's dismissal and Su Huihui's transfer, after being surprised, he went to the official office and the West Palace as usual, feeling that it was none of his business, and others responded to inquiries in silence.

Su Huihui said that this person was so familiar, it turned out to be the one who questioned her skills. She remembered that Sheng Yunyi told her to remember the faces of her colleagues and subordinates, and thought that Her Majesty was still far-sighted. This memory immediately brought out the painful experience in the restaurant, which was really humiliating and home......

Yu Shouzhong said humbly: "Master Su, our Tai Hospital dispatches two imperial doctors, two doctors and one official palace duty every day, and not far away is the imperial pharmacy, and almost all the people in it are internal supervisors who practice pharmacology, but there are also medical officers on duty in our hospital, such as today." To see a doctor in the university, they must be led by the internal supervisor of the imperial pharmacy, and they must also be present when diagnosing a patient. ”

Su Hui said, "I know." Lord Yu, do you know that those little yellow doors are walking around on duty?"

Yu Shouzhong said confusedly: "Ah, Xia Guan really didn't pay attention to this, Imperial Doctor Ling understands this, adults can ask him." ”

Su Huihui gave up, took a few turns in the two huts, and said:

"I'm going to stay here today and wait for the summons. ”

Yu Shouzhong nodded and said, "Since someone has taken us, adults don't have to worry about it." In fact, the number of times to see a doctor for the nobles is not much, and the lower officials are very lazy, so they like to be on duty in the palace and have time to read books and study acupuncture. ”

“…… This official admires a sincere person like Lord Yu. ”

"By the way, the food will be sent by the palace maid of the Yellow Gate, and if the adults feel that it is not enough, they can go to the small kitchen to get it. Chen entered the palace, Shen Zheng left the palace, and the kitchen was in charge of breakfast and lunch. He motioned for Shangfeng to come over and pointed out all the living places for her.

Although Su Huihui saw that the value was small, the furnishings were complete, especially the shelves full of books. She took out a copy casually, wanted to open it and put it back, and said with a smile:

"Master Yu is an acupuncture department, can this official test you have a few questions?"

Half an hour passed.

“…… For those with weak pulse, it is advisable to prick it shallowly, and make up for the laxative with the left and right of the disease, the left is to make up for the laxative, and the right is to make up for the laxative. ”

“…… It is advisable to detail the amount of qi first, and then observe the qi that should arrive, both to measure the cold and heat and leave the disease; before it arrives, wait for the qi according to the virtual reality; the qi is quick to arrive, and the qi is late and not cured. ”

Yu Shouzhong sweated on his forehead, he had already answered more than a dozen, this Master Su didn't seem to think about it, and blurted out all the strange questions, and he had to explain them in the most detailed language.

Of course, Su Huihui didn't have to think about it, these tricky questions were all asked by Qin Yu, and she couldn't answer any of them at that time. Now that Sheng Yunyi has pushed her to the position of court judgment, she can't help but consider working acupuncture and moxibustion with a weak foundation, there happens to be an imperial doctor here who is immersed in studying, she pretended to be an uncle and asked, and began to silently refer to the other party's answers to study.

It was noon, and no one came to the station. She calmly held the book to pass the time, and decided that she must make up for the laziness and lack of solid learning in the future.

Just when Yu Shouzhong was about to dare to offer to drink saliva and slow down, there was a knock on the door outside.

The eunuch at the imperial pharmacy outside the door had a sharp voice: "Master Su, Xigong Wei Jieyu asked you to go over and ask for a pulse." ”

Su Huihui put the medicine box that had been prepared on his shoulder, and said excitedly: "Lord Yu is really extraordinary, continue to read here, if you go back to the official office tomorrow, I will ask you again when I am free." ”

Yu Shouzhong finally sent the Bodhisattva away, wiped off the beads of sweat, and wrote down the points added by the court sentence one by one.

Silver Candle Fast.

Xi Tao, the personal palace maid, held a rhino horn comb and gently combed her black hair like a waterfall.

Wei Qingyan's long eyelashes covered her fair skin, her eyebrows were tinged, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed. She opened her eyes and stared at the haggard face in the rhombic glasses, and when she lifted her chin slightly, a half-healed slender scar was revealed.

Xi Tao paused in his hand and said, "Miss, Lord Yuan said before that this injury is not strict, and it will definitely be healed." Besides, the first time Master Su entered the palace, he asked Imperial Doctor Ling to send Xiao Huangmen to report to us, which means that he will do everything he can to treat Miss's injuries. ”

Wei Qingyan lowered her eyes and said, "Ah Tao, the last person Lord Yuan has ever seen is me, do you know what this means?"

Xi Tao remembered that Yuan Xing came to Silver Candle Zhai a few days before he was dismissed, and she was still smiling, but her eyes were a little regretful when she looked at the wound, and her heart sank.

"Lord Yuan said, His Majesty asked him to treat him well. ”

Wei Qingyan's onion-like jade fingers stroked her upper and lower chins, and her cold fingertips slid along the rough scar to her soft neck, and suddenly sneered.

A concubine who has fallen out of favor, shouldn't she just let a criminal medical officer ask for a pulse?

Xi Tao saw that the master's face was pale, and immediately put down the comb and knelt at her feet and said: "Miss, don't be like this! If it is said that Majesty is ruthless to Miss, then wouldn't the other masters in this harem become ornaments? ”

Wei Qingyan frowned tightly, and the golden step in her hand was almost poked into her palm, Xi Tao's eyes quickly pulled it away, and said hurriedly:

"What are you doing, Miss! I'm going to hurt myself!"

Wei Qingyan covered her face with her sleeve in front of the mirror, sobbing and whispering: "You are wrong, he is heartless and ruthless, not only other women, but me, not even a decoration!"

Xi Tao carefully wiped her sweaty forehead with a handkerchief, and persuaded: "According to the slave maid, Your Majesty doesn't care about Miss's background, and lets Miss have the right to be in charge of harem affairs, where is this not paying attention to Miss! What Miss said that day-"

Wei Qingyan removed her wet sleeves, revealing a pair of red eyes, barely steady:

"Ever since I couldn't help but say those words, I knew that His Majesty wouldn't treat me the way he used to...... Although the Wei family treats me well, but my surname is Wei, I can't see those villains who put the Wei family to death at ease in the court! As long as I live for a day, I will do my best to ......."

Her clenched hands trembled, "Ah Tao, he said that he is not a person who misses the old, I think he just doesn't miss the person who is not in his eyes!"

Where did Xi Tao dare to answer, and begged: "Miss think about it carefully, since you entered the palace, where has Your Majesty treated you badly, it was before, and it is now, you are step by step, as soon as the days pass, forget it! You are, Your Majesty is not! You think clearly, if you fall now, those people will not give up!"

Wei Qingyan held the maid's right hand and said sadly: "Ah Tao, I dreamed of my father, mother, and grandfather again last night...... The figure hung on the white silk, and the room was full of ...... I woke up once and couldn't sleep again. They're going to blame me! I shouldn't ...... He shouldn't have been treated like this, I ...... clearly."

Xi Tao wrapped her cold hand, her eyes were hot, and a few tears fell.

"Miss go and lie down on the couch again, I've only slept for two hours in one night, and the iron-beaten people can't hold it! You are the last master in the family, if Madame knows that you torture yourself like this, she won't be at ease......"

"Jieyu, the Su court has been sentenced and is waiting outside. ”

Suddenly, outside the bead curtain, there was a palace maid who made a clear announcement, cutting off Xi Tao's words of comfort.

She hurriedly wiped away her tears for Wei Qingyan, and she didn't have time to pull her hair, so she only tidied up her skirt, and said loudly:

Jieyu asked the court to come in. ”

Wei Qingyan stopped sobbing, pulled the slightly open placket, and covered half of her cheeks with her hair. She sat in the chair as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she looked weak.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a cyan embroidered figure appeared behind the palace maid who led the way.

The last time Wei Qingyan saw the new court sentenced was more than ten days ago, and this time she couldn't help but look at this person with the maid. Her gaze swept over the judge's face inch by inch, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned invisibly.

The female medical officer in front of her eyebrows and watery eyes, the condensed clear light in her eyes reflected the smile on the corner of her lips, and she was calm and quiet. Her complexion was like snow after a fog through the faint smoke from the smoker, covered with a layer of lustrous jade white.

Walking a few steps closer, Wei Qingyan found that her delicate nose bridge was taller than that of ordinary people, and her lips were full and full of qi and blood. She casually glanced at her lip-smeared lips in the mirror, and was naturally jealous of the other party's healthy body.

Looking at those amber eyes, she understood that this was a foreigner with a calm bearing and a bright complexion.

A foreigner of predominantly Central Plains ancestry.

is still a foreigner who is now blue-eyed and has become the first female court judge since the Qi dynasty.

That Xi Tao was already calm and angry: "The court judge saw Jieyu, why didn't you kneel?"
