Qi Xiangsi counted the days, and saw the doctor in Baihua Lane on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, if he went once a month, it should be in early November.

So Qi Xiangsi took advantage of the eve of the assessment to go home to rest, and waited for the rabbit in Baihua Lane for a few days, and on the eleventh day, he finally saw Dr. He come out to set up a stall.

The time of the pick was just dark, and there were no guests in Baihua Lane at this time, and the girls in each flower building were also busy dressing up, and the location of the alley entrance was not conspicuous, and it would not attract much attention from others.

Soon, just as Qi Xiangsi saw on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, there were flower girls in the flower building who came out to see the doctor, there were a lot of patients today, and it sounded from a distance that this Dr. He had not come for two months, and some diseases, Qi Xiangxi had never heard of.

Qi Xiangsi looked at it for a while, and simply walked directly to his stall, Dr. He glanced up at her, didn't say anything, picked up the pen and handed the recipe to the flower girl in front of him: "One post in the morning and one in the evening, drink it for seven days in a row, and start drinking it for another seven days on the third day after the next time the sunflower water is cleaned." ”

"Doctor He, is this useful?" This flower girl didn't add makeup, she looked like she was only in her early twenties, but she was in a very bad state, her eyes were puffy, her face was sallow, and her lips were a little dark.

"It's not very useful, if you don't drink it, you'll die quickly." Doctor He shook off lightly, and the flower girl whispered thank you, pinched the prescription and turned to the pharmacy at the corner of the flower building.

Soon another flower girl came over, this Qi Xiangsi looked a little familiar, and when she opened her mouth to speak, Qi Xiangsi remembered, the flower girl named Ah Lan.

She didn't look very good, and after sitting down, she put her hand on the pulse pillow, and looked at him with some stupid eyes: "Doctor He, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

"I can't die yet." Doctor He took the pulse, looked at her tongue, raised his hand and rolled her eyes, and his expression was stern, "Picking up customers again"

"How can you support yourself if you don't pick up customers." Ah Lan shook her handkerchief as if she didn't care, and when she looked up and saw Qi Xiangsi, she smiled, "This girl is dressed like this, shouldn't she want to go in and see it." ”

Qi Xiangsi was wearing a man's clothes, and she couldn't hide it at all in front of these flower girls, she didn't care if she said it, and pointed to Dr. He with a smile: "I'm here to help." ”

"Help?" Ah Lan glanced at Dr. He and smiled, "It seems that Dr. He will also be blessed, I found such a handsome little girl to be my companion, when I was young, I was also so beautiful." ”

"Sister, you are also beautiful now."

After Qi Xiangsi finished speaking, Doctor He and Ah Lan glanced at her at the same time, Ah Lan giggled, and the joy blossomed: "I love to hear this, little sister, if you want to come to the flower building to have a look, remember to find my sister and me, I won't charge you money, and I will take you to see and understand." ”

After laughing, Ah Lan, whose face was ruddy, looked a little better, and Dr. He picked up the pen to write the prescription, and he paused halfway through writing: "How long did it stop last time?" ”

"Twenty days." Ah Lan's smile faded, and she raised her hand to look at the impatiens danko she had just drawn tonight, "I don't have a few years to do, people are old and decrepit, and staying in the building is also disgusting, and I don't know if I can save enough silver." ”

Doctor He didn't ask again, and handed the prescription to her after writing it, Ah Lan took the prescription and looked at it: "How long is this time?" ”

"If you want to live a few more years, stop for another half a month." Doctor He's voice was a little cold, "Otherwise, you won't have to live in the past few years." ”

Ah Lan smiled: "Doctor He, what you said is really scary." "But in the scary years, can she be sold into the flower house for a few years of horror?

"What about Xu Feng?"

"She's sick." Ah Lan folded the prescription in half and folded it in half, and received it in her arms, her expression and tone faded, "If you are sick, you can't get up to see a doctor, you may be dying." ”

After finishing speaking, Ah Lan got up, leaned gently towards Dr. He, and there was a few hints of seductiveness in her eyes: "Doctor He, while I'm still alive, why don't you let me serve you once." ”

The surroundings are quiet, the lights at the mouth of the alley are dimly shining, the back is dark, the front is bright, and the smell of fat powder in the air is getting heavier and heavier, indicating that the most lively moment of the day in this Baihua Lane is coming.

Ah Lan held this posture for a while, half a sound, she smiled softly, looked at Qi Xiangsi, and didn't know whether it was envy or longing in her eyes, she didn't say anything, she half-twisted her body and walked away, and in a blink of an eye, she entered the flower building on the side.

Qi Xiangsi saw a flash of pity in Dr. He's eyes.

The stall was about to be closed, and the guests didn't come for a while, so Dr. He was just Qi Xiangsi, who had been beside him for a long time: "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Doctor He, don't you recognize me?" Qi Xiangsi squinted and smiled, she still couldn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time, so she was stupid, she just had an extra beard, and after taking it off, she was not Taiyi He.

He Yan's face was slightly condensed, looking at Qi Xiangsi, she was really hard to identify with two fake beards, and he didn't have any impression of her, but he could say the three words of Taiyi He, presumably he was also a person in the palace: "Who are you." ”

Qi Xiangsi's mind turned: "I'm here to ask Doctor He for advice." ”

"I don't teach students." He Yan rejected her, Qi Xiangsi also thought that this would be the result, she picked up the medicine box he had packed with one hand, and smiled cheekily, "Are you going to see that flower girl, I'll accompany you." ”

When I met this kind of cheeky person, she was still a girl, holding his medicine box in her arms, and it was not easy to drive people out in public.

He Yan turned around and entered the alley without saying a word, Qi Xiangsi hurriedly followed, and when he arrived in the alley, he really entered the Xiaoyao Building through the side door as he did last time.

In addition to the room for entertaining guests, there is also a row of low houses at this end of the courtyard, which is used as a firewood house, and is also for those who do rough work.

He Yan stopped a flower girl he knew halfway and asked only after he learned that Xu Feng was sent here.

Pushing the door open, there was an unpleasant smell coming out of the room without turning on the light, mixed with the smell of medicine and fat powder, as well as a strange smell.

Qi Xiangsi followed in behind, there was a woman lying on the simple bed, she was looking up at the door, and when she saw that it was Dr. He, she hurriedly stopped her: "Don't come in." ”

He Yan had already walked in and lit the candles on the table, and the room was brighter, but there were no other furnishings, just a bed and a table, the teapot and cups on it were also pottery, and the dresser by the window did not even have a bronze mirror, which was too much different from the normal house where Hua Niang lived.

"Doctor He, get out quickly." Xu Feng coughed, his face pale.

"Don't move." He Yi sat down, checked her pulse, and then pulled up her sleeve with a calm expression, and there were red spots floating on her white arms, and when He Yan pulled it up, she hurriedly covered it again, urging them to go out quickly.

The strength of a man is greater than that of a woman, not to mention that she is sick, so she grabbed her lightly, opened her eyes and looked at her, and turned her head to look at Qi Xiangxi: "You come here." ”

Qi Xiangsi put down the medicine box and approached, only then did he distinguish the source of those strange smells, which emanated from Xu Feng's body.

"You took off her clothes."

With that, He turned his back away.

Qi Xiangsi stretched out his hand to untie Xu Feng's clothes, and when he lifted the quilt on such a cold day, he was wearing a single coat, and after quickly untying it, Qi Xiangsi said okay, He Yan asked her to take off the dirty clothes again, Qi Xiangsi was stunned and did so.

He Yan, who turned his back, handed her the candle: "Hold her legs up, you see, there are ulcers." ”

Qi Xiangsi hesitated when she took the candle, but she still did as He Yi said, she squinted her eyes halfway, nodded and said the word.

"Put it on."

Qi Xiangsi put on her clothes and covered the quilt after dressing her, He Yan also asked her in detail a few words about what she saw, and then asked Xu Feng if she felt pain, just when Qi Xiangsi undressed her, the rash had begun to spread, accompanied by headaches and sore bones, very uncomfortable.

He Yan opened the medicine box and asked Qi Xiangsi to feed her two antidote pills first, and finally wrote the prescription, and her calm expression never faded.

Before I finished writing, there was a sound of talking outside, and the mother of Xiaoyao Lou brought someone over, and when she saw Dr. He in the house, her tone was not particularly bad out of respect, but it was also the meaning of driving people: "Dr. He, you want to put the girls in Baihua Lane outside, no one objects, occasionally you want to come to us for one night to stay here, it is also your medical fee, but you can't come to see people today, and I think that the girls in our building have some disease, and what will we do in this business in the future." ”

"You know what disease she has." He Yi wrote down three prescriptions and put down the pen to look at the mother.

Mother didn't squeak, but that expression showed a sigh, she has been in the flower building for so many years, of course she knows what kind of illness these girls will have, the reason why she is clear is to leave people here, in case she wants to let the guests in front of her know, where will someone come to Xiaoyao Lou in the future.

"Then you're going to watch her die."

"Doctor He, you also know how difficult this disease is, besides, there are many girls who die of this illness in Baihua Lane, this is also the rule in each building, I am also benevolent and righteous, give her a place to live, she can go outside to find a doctor, if it is really gone, I will also bury her in a thin coffin, and I will not wronged her."

"Mom, what you say can make our sisters feel cold, and you have earned so much money here, and you won't even let a doctor see it now."

A lazy voice came from the door, and Ah Lan, who was there at some point, leaned against the door frame to speak, her mother's face changed, and she chirped: "I knew you said it, your body is not clean, you don't want to die, don't you!" ”

Ah Lan raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, Qi Xiangsi understood what kind of disease her mother was talking about, Huajie Willow Lane, I am afraid that it is difficult to treat and easy to get.

This disease is not certain to die, but in such a place, once you get it, you will be abandoned, so how obvious is the mother's meaning, that is, to watch her die, ask the doctor to see a doctor? That's a lot of money.

"Doctor He, I think this flower girl's illness is infected." Qi Xiangsi suddenly spoke, still in the direction of Dr. He, learning from him to frown, "There was nothing abnormal when I came to check the pulse last time, I think it was the guests who came to Xiaoyao Building who infected her." ”

After that, Qi Xiangsi turned his head to look at the mother: "I don't know which guest it is, if this is a frequent visit, I'm afraid I don't know how many girls have been passed on, and these girls will pick up other guests."

Qi Xiangsi stopped and didn't say anything, and the mother's face changed suddenly.

can pick up at most two guests a day, who can remember how many guests they have received in the past two months, let alone the mother, even Xu Feng himself is afraid that he is not very clear.

If the guest really infected, then how terrible it would be to think about the things before and after.

couldn't care about anything else, my mother rushed to the bed and asked Xu Feng in a lost voice: "Think about it, which guest has something abnormal." ”

Xu Feng shook his head, according to this calculation, there were many guests in that half a month, where can I tell which one it is.

"Now that she is sick, she is a little delirious and thinks about it, I think it is better to hurry up and think about it carefully." Qi Xiangsi added coldly in the back, "It doesn't matter if she's dead, it's only troublesome when it's passed around." ”

The most frightening thing in the flowering building, one is that there is a death, and the other is that there is a disease, if this business is run to other Hualou, it will not be easy to improve in the future.

A life is nothing, the business is going to be affected, and the mother became anxious: "Doctor He, is this true, then you should show the girl in the building, don't be infected again." ”

"Treat her first." He Yan looked very calm, "It's too dark here, find a clean and ventilated place to settle." ”

Mother opened her mouth, obviously she didn't want to treat Xu Feng, she wanted to know who was infected, and whether the other girls in the flower building were infected.

"If I can't remember, if that guest comes a few more times, I'm afraid everyone up and down will be sick."

Mother Tie turned blue, half loud, she asked people to arrange the next room, and looked at Ah Lan who was standing at the door, and said in a sour tone: "Since you have such a good relationship, then you can stay and take good care of her." ”

After that, someone shouted in front of him, and the mother hurried over again, and there were only a few people left inside and outside the house, Ah Lan walked into the house, pushed open the window and snorted: "It seems that I don't even want to save money." ”

"It's just right for you to stay and take care of her, and she won't get sick." He Yan handed her three prescriptions and told her how to take them, "I'll pull out the poison for her tomorrow." ”

After He Yan finished speaking, Qi Xiangsi followed him away, and Xu Feng looked at Ah Lan in the room here, his eyes were red: "Why are you doing this." ”

"If you die, my life here will be even more boring." Ah Lan smiled and flipped through the prescription in his hand, "I'll go and dispense medicine for you, and I'll help you change houses later." ”

This Qi Xiangsi followed He Yan not from the back door, but walked directly to the front, she looked like a little medicine boy holding the medicine box, and she didn't forget to recommend herself: "Doctor He, it's definitely not as convenient for you to come out of there, and Anle Hall is indispensable to you, why don't I come over to see her for you." ”

He Yan turned to look at her: "What do you want to do." ”

"I want to worship you as a teacher." I just entered the lobby, it was very noisy here, and when I heard the greeting in front of me, Qi Xiangsi turned his head to look, and his eyes fell on the flower girl who was budding on stage tonight.

Qi Xiangsi was slightly stunned.

This flower girl looks so familiar.

The voice of the audience is very warm, no matter which flower building is the same, but whenever you meet a new flower girl on stage, even if you can't buy someone's first night, everyone likes to come to join in the fun.

Today, there are two flower girls on the stage in Xiaoyao Building, and several upstairs boxes have begun to open prices, Qi Xiangsi was squeezed to the door by the crowd, and only had time to see the smiling expressions of the people on the stage, and in an instant, the guests who kept coming in directly squeezed her out of Xiaoyao Building.

After leaving Xiaoyao Building, Qi Xiangsi followed He Yi all the way to the mouth of Baihua Lane, and returned the medicine box to him, Qi Xiangsi looked at him with a smile: "I worship you as a teacher, can you teach me women's science." ”

"I don't take apprentices." He Yan put the medicine box on his back and didn't eat her.

"Then I won't apprentice, you can teach me." Qi Xiangsi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was cheeky and asked him to teach, "You see that my performance today is not bad." ”

I had never seen such a shameless boast of myself, He Yan glanced at her: "Go back and remember to dispel evil spirits." ”

"Come here tomorrow, then I'll wait for you here tomorrow." Qi Xiangsi stopped following him, raised his hand and waved, looking very enthusiastic.

When the people were far away, Qi Xiangsi walked out of Baihua Lane, and the jade had been waiting there for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――

It's already late to return to Qi Mansion, and no one in the Qi family cares about her now, they all treat her as if she came back from the Tai Hospital.

After bathing, she drank a bowl of medicine to dispel evil spirits, Qi Xiangsi fell asleep not long after lying down, and the next morning, she went to Baihua Lane early after asking for peace.

Compared with the bustle of the night, Baihua Lane during the day is particularly quiet, especially in the morning, the girls in each flower building are still asleep, only a few people who have stayed in the flower building all night wandering around eating breakfast.

Qi Xiangsi was waiting at the back door of Xiaoyao Building, not long after Doctor He came, seeing that she was there, He Yan didn't say a word and went directly into Xiaoyao Building, Qi Xiangsi hurriedly followed, and the backyard of Xiaoyao Building was also quiet.

When she entered the house, Ah Lan fell asleep at the table, looked at them after being startled, got up with a yawn and walked out of the house: "Okay, Doctor He, you are here, then I will go back to the house to rest." ”

Qi Xiangsi helped boil water and set up a fire cup, and stood by the bed and watched Mrs. He fix the acupuncture needle, and her expression was different from what she saw in Anle Hall.

After neatly putting down the needle, he took the jar in Qi Xiangsi's hand, and after turning the cotton wool inside, he put it on the acupuncture point of the needle, only to see that the surrounding skin suddenly contracted, and the fire pot bulged, and Xu Feng snorted.

After the twelve fire pots went down, Xu Feng's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and He Yi asked Qi Xiangsi to cook the medicine.

After boiling the medicine and coming back, Qi Xiangsi saw that He Yi was taking the fire cup, she wanted to step forward to help, but He Yan didn't let her, only asked her to hand over the cotton cloth, and after the fire pot was taken down, the place where the needle had been pricked sucked out a lot of dirty black blood, He Yan wiped it with a cotton cloth and immediately threw it in the basin next to the bed, and it took seven or eight pieces of cotton cloth to wipe all the dirty blood clean, and then apply the medicine bag to the acupuncture points, and feed a whole bowl of medicine.

Qi Xiangsi looked at it seriously, and when he got to the end, he gave Xu Feng a needle, and in the morning, he only let her do it, and didn't let her get too close to Xu Feng.

When it was almost noon, Ah Lan came over with a bowl of porridge, and He Yan was over, and after re-prescribing the medicine, she told her how to decoction: "I'll come back in three days, and this one is for you, don't forget to drink it." ”

Ah Lan accepted the prescription and didn't say anything, and sent them to the back door, Qi Xiangsi followed him out, and asked him curiously in the middle of the alley: "She is so weak, should she pull out the poison a few days later?" ”

"She has been delaying for too long, if she doesn't pull out the poison first, no matter how much medicine she drinks, it won't help."

Qi Xiangsi nodded seriously, others are taking medicine first, and then pulling out the poison after his body is better, although he seems to be risky in doing this, but it is not broken or standing, and it is better to delay the time.

"You'll check the pulse." When she arrived at the back of the alley, He Yan suddenly asked her, and Qi Xiangsi nodded.

"If I don't come over after three days, you can check her pulse, and if it gets better, use this to give her a medicated bath." He Yan handed her the prescription, Qi Xiangsi's eyes lit up, is this a teaching to her!

"What if it doesn't get better?"

"If it doesn't get better, you don't have to save it." He Yi left this sentence lightly, and quickly left Baihua Lane.

Qi Xiangsi knew that there were a lot of things in the palace recently, and it was not easy to come out like this for half a day, and now he was afraid that he would rush back to the palace.

The flower girl in Baihua Lane is so familiar with him, and it is also a shame that he is in the inner palace, few officials in the court know him, and those who come to look for flowers and ask Liu only pay attention to which flower girl is beautiful, and no one knows about him treating Hua Niang here in Baihua Lane.

Qi Xiangsi was in a very good mood, knowing that he would come here often, she was not afraid that she would not be able to teach her

Three days later, Mrs. He really didn't come, Qi Xiangsi went to Baihua Lane early in the morning to check Xu Feng's pulse, fortunately she was getting better, Qi Xiangsi left a prescription for the medicinal bath, and it took three or four days to see Mrs. He.

At this time, it was not a few days since Qi Xiangsi participated in the internal teaching assessment, she stayed in Qi Mansion and did not go out again, and on November 20, Qi Mansion ushered in an unexpected happy event.

The Yueyang Mansion sent someone to come to the palace to be a matchmaker for the King of Yueyang, and wanted to marry the six girls of the Qi family and go back to fill the house.

When he learned the news, Qi Xiangsi was studying the acupuncture method of Taiyi He, and the needle in his hand was gently pricked on the cotton pad, Qi Xiangsi looked up at the lilac: "Yueyang Palace?" ”

"Yes, the people are in the front hall, the old lady is alarmed, it is the lady of the Yue family who is good friends with the Yueyang Palace, I heard that it is the king of Yueyang who made the master, the old lady nodded."

When I went back to Yueyang Palace, I met Qi Minlan's good deeds of "Beauty Saves Heroes", and then Yueyang Palace's Mansion also sent a condolence gift.

Qi Xiangsi pulled out the needle tied to the cotton pad: "This is a good marriage." "If you want to calculate it more carefully, it is better than the third sister marrying the tenth prince as a side concubine.

"But that's the palace." Ding Xiang paused, she wanted to say that the identity of the sixth girl could not reach the Yueyang Palace, but when she thought of her own girl, Ding Xiang couldn't speak, and her mouth was curled.

Qi Xiangsi also knew that Qi Minlan often went out these days, and she must have met in private, as for how she made King Yueyang think about marrying her, Qi Xiangsi was not interested at all.

She was only thinking about this marriage, and the Qi family would undoubtedly nod, so according to Qi Minlan's temperament, she would definitely want to take Aunt Lu back.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiangsi put down the needle: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Waizhuang." ”
