On October 23, all the doctors and doctors under the jurisdiction of the Tai Hospital came to the Tai Yi Department to participate in the triennial examination. There were two court judges, three imperial doctors, and a number of officials invigilating the examination, and more than 70 people were assigned to four places, and the official offices were cleared. The sun was very good, and the huge courtyard was used as an examination room, which should be in harmony with the inside and outside of the house.

Su Huihui came to the house early to invigilate a group of medical students, who studied the classics of various disciplines in the school opened by Chengxi Tai Hospital on weekdays, and rarely actually came to the Thousand Steps Corridor. The students in the house are all children of the largest medical family, and in order to get an examination environment that is not exposed to the wind and sun, the elders in the family have also spent a lot of energy on the etiquette department.

As soon as the drum beat of the hour, the chatter in the hall suddenly stopped, and it was replaced by the rattling of paper. The students either scratched their ears and cheeks, or were confident, Su Hui warmed up with a curious look and didn't want to be looked at, and walked down from the examiner's seat to inspect. The test paper came from the Ministry of Rites, and she didn't know who produced it, so she selected a focused candidate and quietly walked over to him to watch him write the questions.

The examinee wrote well, and suddenly found an extra shadow on the white test paper, raised his head in a daze, and then "ah" startled. The eyes of the entire examination room immediately focused on Su Huihui.

She was a little ashamed and comforted the student: "I just took a casual look, but I didn't expect it to hinder you." I'm sorry, you can keep writing. ”

The other candidates looked left and right with complicated eyes, and Su warmed his throat: "Everyone writes their own, there are more questions, and you need to hurry up." ”

She was driven away before she saw half of the second acupuncture question about fire acupuncture, and she was very unwilling, so she seemed to unintentionally go to the last row to see how much incense and candles were burned, and by the way, she glanced at the candidates' answers.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy here wrote uprightly, "The sesame oil is full, and the lamps and grasses are as many as a big finger, and the lamps burn the needles", and a young man with a weak crown stumbled and wrote silently, "Let others burn the needles, and the doctor will use them temporarily", and the fat man closest to her is chanting the words, "Use the needle to divide the heat in the fire, and see the blood in the stabbing of the Sanli acupoint"...... It's all stiff and rigid to put the original sentences into the book.

Su Huihui turned to the next question in disappointment, which was the dialectical treatment she was good at. I have to say that the questions are very level, starting from the third question, the test papers have become a whole, and they are all aimed at a patient. For example, a person in a certain place who fell ill in early February was given a prescribed medicinal herb to make him recover by March, and asked to write down the consequences of using strong medicine. This consequence will become the cause of the summer, and the next question is to make the candidate completely recover in the summer and autumn.

Taking different approaches may lead to different consequences, and candidates have to write along the way according to their own ideas and methods of diagnosis and treatment. The most difficult thing is to control the efficacy and time, if any person exerts extraordinary performance and solves the disease at one time within a month, then the latter question is of course blank. She felt that the person who wrote the question of this test paper might be able to talk to her master, the way of training was too similar, and she couldn't help but think of the years she spent on Yuxiao Mountain when she was a child.

Su Huihui stared at a few students who were immersed in writing questions, and they all answered well, but they were still some way from her standard. She herself has done it in her head one by one, and she can't get it right in some places, so she knows that this is a test of the doctors' handling methods and strains, and turning the reasons she has learned into practical explanations, and the results are secondary.

The incense was soon half burned, and fine beads of sweat gradually oozed from the candidates' foreheads, and the movement of the sleeves rubbing against the table became louder and louder, like a group of energetic silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves. She rubbed her eyes, and was about to go back to the examiner's seat to pick up a book to read, but the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open.

Ling Yang walked in lightly and said to her, "Master Su, there are people looking outside, I'll watch here for you for a while." ”

Su Huihui asked suspiciously, "Who is in the courtyard?"

Ling Yang slapped a dishonest head on the back with one hand: "What are you looking at! Your family spends money to let you take the exam in the house, but it doesn't make you win back a good reputation for cheating!" and said kindly: "Xu is the long-term follower of Yan Gongzi, maybe I have seen it once before, and I am familiar with it." ”

When it came to the Yan family, Su Huihui had to think of the "important things" that Si Yan had told her, and glared at the innocent Ling Yang. What a delicate character the other party is, since the last time he asked her to go to Si Yan's room to discuss matters, he learned that what he was talking about was not the "evaluation" in his mouth, so he immediately clarified that it was the court envoy who asked him to say this to the court judge - everyone thought that the negotiation was about the examination rating, so he didn't think much about it himself. However, when the court judgment came out of it, he was furious, and he thought of ten or eight ways for a while to maintain the hard-won relationship with the court judgment.

Su Huihui has been lukewarm to him these days, she doesn't believe that Ling Yang doesn't know anything about why Si Yan called her. At this time, she thanked her, and walked straight out of the hall, leaving Ling Yang alone to rectify the young students who bullied her with bad eyes and wanted to take the opportunity to talk to each other.

"When you enter the examination room, you are still chirping crookedly in the examination room as if you are nothing, do you think that the examination in the Tai Hospital is not as good as the imperial examination for one person and one room? It is really enough to disgrace your family!"

Walking through the courtyard with dozens of tables and chairs, the cold wind was blowing outside the gate, but there was no long-term follower. In the future, Su Huihui no longer believed what the enthusiastic subordinate said.

Yan Xigui stood under a tall evening laurel tree, his figure had lost a lot, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes were slightly tired.

His clear and graceful temperament is actually a little similar to Sheng Yunyi, but he has a little more natural grace, and now the color of the wind and dust is more and more obvious, as if the son in the Yaochi Wonderland has thrown himself into the fireworks of the world without hesitation.

took away the title of Little Marquis, he was a pure businessman, so that Su Huihui could keenly perceive the changes he had changed in the past two months. The last time she saw this person was in the Hou Mansion, half of his sleeves were stained red with blood at that time, but he resolutely didn't look back, presumably heartbroken by his best friend from childhood to adulthood.

Yan Xugui saw that the person came a few steps away, pressed his eyebrows and said, "Doctor Su doesn't have to blame Imperial Doctor Ling, I asked Chang Sui to retreat and prepare the car." To make a long story short, Yan decided to make a trip south, and he had to take several medical officers on duty from the Tai Hospital to cross Yingshui along the official road, passing through Chongqing, Lizhou and Jiyang Prefecture to the Nanhai Enlightenment Place. Yan is no longer walking in the court, but Huimin pharmacies in various places have just started, and they must not travel at this time. The court judge talked to you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't listen to it, and I had a lot to do with it, so I came to the official office by the way. ”

Su Huihui believed this reason, she remembered that as soon as she signed the contract with the Duanyang Hou Mansion, Yuzhou sent a large number of free medicinal materials, thousands of miles away, and the Yan family did invest a lot of money. Now that there is no support from the title, it is reasonable for Yan Xugui to personally go to the south.

"Why does Childe take Huimin Pharmacy so seriously?"

"My father's last wishes. ”

Yan Huayu died in front of her, how could she not know that there was such a will?

She said with a smile: "The son is the most filial person, the old marquis is willing to give kindness in his life, whether it is high in the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, he can worry about the country and the people, which is really the luck of the country." I remember that Gongzi Rong told me about Yan's going to support the pharmacy, it was still February, and it had been so long in the blink of an eye. With the son so diligent, the old marquis should have no regrets. ”

Yan Xugui stood in front of her, listened to her finish speaking in a matter-of-fact manner, and said lightly: "Guochao?"

Just these two words killed all the temptations of Su Huihui. How can she, a doctor who came down from the mountains and whose nationality is unknown, say that she is "fortunate in the country"?

Yan Xugui suddenly didn't want to give her a little face, so he tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Doctor Su probably doesn't know, what I don't like the most is being knocked on the side, especially this kind of clumsy cliché." Or do you think, I don't know what you're thinking?"

Su Huihui said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I offended my son." ”

The leaves fell to the ground in the wind, and he looked at her embarrassed but still honest eyes, sighed in his heart, and somehow said:

"Supporting the pharmacy was an idea I had five years ago, and my father had always opposed my business, and it was not until the third year of Mingguang that he relented. What I think is good, he doesn't necessarily think is good, but there is only one thing I agree that I must try my best to keep. Physician Sue, you should understand this feeling. ”

Su Huihui was stunned when she heard this, and Yan Xugui's words changed suddenly, but she could understand every word. He hadn't deceived her since he said the first word, even if it was all unpleasant.

"I asked His Majesty for three people from the Tai Hospital, in addition to you, there are also two imperial doctors, Zhang and Yu. In the past few months, the position of the official office has been filled by the new imperial doctor who has been promoted through this evaluation, and you will adjust it internally when you come back next year. ”

Su Huihui dragged a leaf and rubbed it in his hand, "Since Childe doesn't like to listen to me talk in a roundabout way, can I ask, in addition to the Huimin Pharmacy mentioned by Childe, what other tasks have been laid out by His Majesty?"

Yan Xugui narrowed his phoenix eyes, "I really didn't expect Doctor Su to tell the truth to this point. His Majesty did give the order, but Dr. Su thought, "Will I sue an outsider who is only involved?"

Su Huihui looked around, the candidates were in the front yard against the sun in capital letters, and a carriage was parked far away outside the courtyard wall, on which the Yan clan's holly wood emblem was painted with silver lines.

"There is no one else at the moment, if Childe thinks about it carefully, there is no harm in suing me. Of course, I don't know much, but it's more than enough compared to other medical officers, and it won't be ...... then."

Yan Xigui interrupted her follow-up and said in a deep voice: "Su Huihui, I hope you can understand that if we sue you in the future, it will not be because of the slightest harm in your mouth. Usually for people who are overly attentive, do you know that the best way to use up your mouth is to use up?"

Su Hui warmed his face and said, "It seems to be." Childe, I didn't ask, let's all be quiet and quiet. ”

Yan Xigui sneered: "When I was the son of the world, I didn't expect you to pretend to be respectful, and now that you are even exempted from saluting, you don't want to sue me for asking you to come out and talk today or surprise you." ”

"Ah, naturally not, it's definitely me who abruptly struck the child. She picked it up very smoothly and turned to go back.

"Stop. ”

Su Huihui stopped, looked at his iron face, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Yan Xugui waited silently for her to open a soft mouth.

Su Huihui frowned and said, "I'm sorry, is there anything else to do with Childe?" Seeing that he was only standing alone in the wind, he couldn't see what the expression was on his face, and finally said: "I know that Childe must have had a bad time in the past two months, but no matter what outsiders say, Childe has his own principles anyway." In business, the Hou Ye's last wish is one of them, and the friendship between His Majesty and Gongzi is also one of them, and I will not ask about the rest in the future, so don't worry. ”

Yan Xigui paused, and the sarcastic words that were about to be uttered circled around her throat a few times, and disappeared in her clear voice.

"My father's ambition when he was young was to help the world. He never told me, but when I returned to Beijing and lived in another place in the army, everything did not go well, but he did not completely stop it. Su Huihui, you should have seen that he had been suffering for many years, and his heart was very sick, what he has done over the years, I can't make up for it with just a dozen Huimin pharmacies, but he must let me watch him end up like that, I have no other way but to let him live in peace afterwards. ”

His tone was like a slowly flowing river, calm with a hint of sadness.

Su Huihui is not very good at comforting people, but she thinks that Yan Xugui has always been lukewarm to others, but he unabashedly told her about private affairs at home, and it is estimated that she is really sad.

"I understand what Childe said, I will let the medical officers help the Yan family well, and I won't think about anything else. ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Yan Xugui bent his thin lips and said as if inadvertently:

"Are there any elders in Dr. Su's family?"

His voice was extremely good, slightly hoarse, and very soft and abrupt. Su Hui was stunned and was about to answer, but suddenly reacted, opened his mouth and said:

"No more. ”

Yan Xigui raised his eyebrows, and a little smile flowed out of his dark pupils, "Is that so?" I just said that Dr. Su understood my feelings, and I was unexpectedly unsupplied. ”

Su Huihui said embarrassedly: "If the deceased's will can be fulfilled, he must do his best. When my teacher was alive, I was very strict, and when I was young, I didn't complain every day, and only now do I understand that my elders are planning for you. Master wants me to live well with my skills, and he only has this one last wish, which is also my wish. ”

Yan Xugui smiled: "No one has told Doctor Su about it...... Are you still less than anything else to this day?"

Su Huihui was dumbfounded, what did he want to express?

Yan Xugui bent two fingers against his chin and put them down, like a fox only thinking, "There is one more thing, Chonghua...... His Majesty asked you to go to a few adults' homes around the winter solstice for consultation, and the first one was the daughter of Xiao Shilang's family, which you are more familiar with. The second is the Dingguo Mansion, and if the rest are too busy, you can ask the imperial doctor to go for you. ”

Su Huihui asked, "Is this the courtier going to start figuring out the situation of the Tai Hospital?"

Yan Xigui should not, and regained his arrogant attitude, and said: "Excuse me Doctor Su, there is still something to deal with in the house, so let me take a step first." ”

He walked out of Zhang Xu Yuan, and Su Hui warmed up the words that were pressed in his heart, and said loudly:

"Majesty Xià has always been very worried about Childe's injury, I told Majesty Xià that Childe is fine, and today it seems that it is really fine. ”

Yan Xugui's back was getting farther away, he boarded the carriage, lifted the plain curtain and glanced at her, and then sat down in the car peacefully.

The sun poured into the glass window peacefully, and he looked at the ripple-like halo on the moon-white smoke, and he didn't try to figure out the other person's mind for a long time.

Sheng Yunyi's relationship with him has not been estranged too much, why is she happy?

Even he himself was not happy.
